Xiao Jiaojiao suffered from morning sickness and had many babies, and was pampered by Qing Leng'

Jiang Mingyue was 60% full after eating, and just as she was about to put down her chopsticks, Xie Yuan filled a small bowl of cold skin and placed it in front of her.

Jiang Mingyue stirred a few times and asked, "Why don't you add chili pepper?"

"You need to eat something light lately."

Jiang Mingyue realized belatedly that her sunflower water was coming soon. No wonder the man prepared brown sugar ginger water for her today.

Unexpectedly, he silently remembered the date she came to Kwai Shui. This man was really attentive and considerate.

Moved, Jiang Mingyue took advantage of her brother and Mao Zijun not paying attention, stretched her left hand under the table, and placed it on the man's thigh. She could clearly feel the man's muscles tense up for a moment, and then relax again.

Jiang Mingyue raised her head and glanced at the man with a calm expression, lightly drew a circle on his thigh, and then drew eyebrows and nose in the circle...

Before the smile was finished, a warm big hand suddenly held her little hand.

Jiang Mingyue raised her eyes and looked into the man's deep and somewhat hot eyes. She was not afraid at all. Instead, she looked at him with a smile and said in a low and soft voice: "Thank you, brother, I really want to kiss you!"

As soon as these words came out, Xie Yuan's eyes darkened instantly, but his face was still serious. He squeezed her hand gently and was about to speak when he heard a "pop" sound next to him.

Xie Yuan and Jiang Mingyue turned to look at Mao Zijun one after another.

Mao Zijun wiped his mouth and looked into the eyes of the two people and said hurriedly: "I didn't hear anything."

Jiang Minghong glanced at the flustered Mao Zijun, turned his head and looked at his sister and Xie Yuan with slightly narrowed eyes.

Mistakenly, she forgot that there was a martial arts master on the table. Jiang Mingyue, whose face was hot, silently retracted her hand and lowered her head to eat the cold skin.

Xie Yuan's expression didn't change at all, he put a piece of chicken into Mao Zijun's bowl and whispered: "Eat!"

There was a hint of warning in his tone.

"Hey!"

Mao Zijun wanted to plug his ears. He was really afraid that the two of them would kill and silence them. Out of the corner of his eye, he uncontrollably glanced at the frail, very gentle girl. He really couldn't see how she dared to say such "tough and wolf words" at the dinner table, but he quite admired her. This is how people in the world should be informal.

Jiang Minghong didn't see anything from Xie Yuan's face. He picked up a shrimp, peeled it, put it into his sister's bowl and reminded him: "Eat well!"

Jiang Mingyue didn't say anything, she just ate the shrimp silently, and then she was unusually honest.

After dinner, the four of them cleared away the dishes and went into the study. Jiang Minghong handed the small bundle to Mao Zijun and saluted him solemnly.

"Brother Zijun, I'm begging you."

Mao Zijun hurriedly helped him up, patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely hand this little burden into the hands of your parents."

Xie Yuan opened the drawer and handed him the silver coins he had prepared long ago: "Once you encounter an enemy, if you are defeated, run when you should. Don't show off your courage."

"I know!" Mao Zijun laughed happily as he felt his money bag was heavy.

Jiang Mingyue waited for both of them to finish speaking before speaking.

"Take care of yourself!"

"Take care of yourself too!"

The two siblings said goodbye to Mao Zijun. Seeing that it was already midnight, Jiang Minghong looked at his sister and said, "Go home!"

Jiang Mingyue turned her head and looked at the man for help. She still wanted to kiss him!

Xie Yuan's Adam's apple twitched and he said to Jiang Minghong: "Go back first, your sister and I still have something to say."

This time Jiang Minghong did not give in.

"It's already very late. If you have anything to say, it's not too late to say it tomorrow."

Jiang Mingyue looked at her brother, then at the man, and finally lowered her head.

"We are going back, thank you brother for good night!"

"good night!"

Both of them had a little regret in their voices.

At two o'clock in the morning, Mao Zijun quietly opened the courtyard door and left Xie's house with his baggage on his back.

When he walked out of Zaolin Hutong, he stopped and looked back at the two families next to each other in the alley. After spending so long with them, he suddenly felt a little reluctant to let go.

Although he almost lost his life when he ran away from home this time, he unexpectedly made two friends. Even if he was punished for it when he returned, it was worth it.

At that time, Xie Yuan came out of the house and glanced at the door. As expected, Mao Zijun had left secretly.

At nine o'clock, Jiang Minghong watched his sister put a lot of breakfast in the food box and said, "There is no need to put so much breakfast today. My brother-in-law may not be able to finish it by himself."

Jiang Mingyue heard this and turned to look at her younger brother: "You mean Mao Zijun has left?"

Jiang Minghong said softly, "He may have left quietly long ago."

Thinking about it, parting is the saddest thing, not to mention someone as emotional as Mao Zijun.

Jiang Mingyue took out some of the packed breakfast and handed it to Yu Gen.

"Send it to Brother Xie!"

"Yes!"

Yu Gen carried the bun and went out.

In the main hall, Jiang Mingyue picked out a bun and took a bite.

"Well, as far as Baozi is concerned, Yu Xing has already graduated."

Jiang Mingyue knew that during these days, when Su Niang was cooking, Yu Xing and Pomegranate would follow her and cook together. Although Su Niang didn't teach the two of them specifically, she didn't hide it secretly either.

Yu Xing learned quickly, but Pomegranate was not good enough. She had no talent in cooking, but the silk flowers were getting better and better as she made them. She knew that she had saved a lot of money recently.

Jiang Minghong also chose a steamed bun made by Yu Xing. Thinking of what she secretly told him a few days ago, he said: "Although Yu Xing is a little cautious, I can trust her. From now on, I can leave everything in the kitchen to her."

Jiang Mingyue nodded and told him about the tea shop.

"Every season from now on, I will be able to divide at least two hundred and forty taels, and finally I can no longer make ends meet. Although my parents gave us a lot of money when we left Yuanjiang Mansion, we saw that the money in our hands was decreasing little by little. I’m quite panicked.”

When Jiang Minghong heard this, he realized that his sister had been worrying about making ends meet, and his brother was so incompetent that he never noticed it.

He put down his chopsticks, held his sister's hand and said warmly: "Sister, don't worry about money. My brother has his own way of making money."

Jiang Mingyue held his hand and said warmly: "I know, my brother is so smart, making money for you is like catching steamed buns on a grate - it's easy to catch."

She praised her brother first, and then continued: "But if you want to become an official in the future, you will no longer be able to do business as a merchant. You will be criticized by others and ostracized by scholars."

"Don't worry, sister, I know what's going on."

He is now suffering from the fact that he has no one to use and can't do anything, but this situation will be solved soon, and then he can use his fists.

"What do you think about opening a branch?" Jiang Minghong asked as he filled a bowl of porridge for his sister.

"It can be opened but not now, preferably next year."

Jiang Minghong smiled when he heard this. It seemed that his sister saw it very clearly and there was no need for him to say anything more.

After breakfast, the two siblings went out together. Xie Yuan had been waiting outside for a while.
