little son-in-law

Welcoming Tian Cheng's wife into the house, Yuyang also came out to say hello, and everyone exchanged a few words.It was a coincidence that Tian Cheng's wife, whose surname was Guo Gui and her name was Mingxia, was the second young lady of the prefect's family in Yunzhou, and she was also the one who appointed Yuyang to embroider her wedding dress in the spring.

This Miss Mingxia, no, she should be called Mrs. Tian now, and she speaks kindly. After all, she is a lady of the official family, so she still has the basic etiquette of parenting.But the faint impatience between the eyebrows was not unnoticed by the people of the Mo family.Tian Cheng seemed to have noticed it too, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

It is inconvenient for Mo Nanjin to stay in the conversation between women.On the pretext of something to do in the field, he waved his sleeves and left.

After sitting down for less than half an hour, Mrs. Tian got up and was about to leave.Yuyang stayed politely, but she didn't really mean to stay.

This Mrs. Tian's elder sister and Yun Sichuan's wife are about the same age and family background. When Yunying was not married, the two families often moved around, coming and going, and the young ladies of the two families became good handkerchiefs.This time Guo Mingxia came to Nanshan Town to stay at Yun's house.Tian Cheng naturally wanted to follow.Mingyue took Guo Mingxia's accompanying maid to the small study to clean up Tian Cheng's things. With this Miss Guo around, Tian Cheng estimated that the possibility of coming to live in the future is not high, so it would be more worry-free to simply clean up together.However, this maid named Xidie was a bit more arrogant than that young lady, and even called Mingyue openly in the Mo family, which made Yuyang unhappy. Mingyue had been by Yuyang's side since she was a child. Yuyang treats her like a sister, and he hasn't used her like that for so many years. How could he allow others to bully her like this, and his face turned cold immediately.

Tian Chengju moderated a few words in the middle, and he also seemed to be in a dilemma.You can tell by that Xidie's expression, this uncle's status in the Guo family is not much higher, fortunately this Xidie still knows some rules, although his expression is quite dissatisfied, but he didn't fight back.Yuyang didn't want to hold on to it, so he quickly invited the Bodhisattva away.

The matter in Yuyang here is settled, Gu Zi took a fan, went to the small couch under the corridor of the inner courtyard to take a nap, Mingyue brought the footstool, put the needle and thread in the dustpan by the feet, threaded the needle and thread, sat down and began to embroider A silk handkerchief, a tree of pink peach blossoms suddenly blooms on the white cloud satin, Ming Yuezi is holding the silver-white silk thread to make the final seam.

"Miss, I have something in my heart for several days, and I don't know whether I should tell you." Mingyue bit her lower lip and hesitated for a long time, as if she had finally made up her mind and was embarrassed.

"Hmm, what's the matter?" Yuyang was lying on the couch and almost fell asleep, but he barely woke up when he heard Mingyue's words.But his eyes were half-closed, as if he was ready to fall asleep again at any time.

"Miss, I've always felt a very bad premonition these days, and I don't know what to say." Mingyue changed the needle in her hand for another thread, and continued; "But since Tian Cheng came back, there has been something strange at home. Xiao Mo always feels restless these days, and even Ming Ting sometimes stares at Young Master, not in a good mood."

"That shouldn't be my illusion." Yuyang lowered his eyelids, sighed secretly, and thought: "Is the peaceful life going to be broken after all? I just don't know if it's Mo Nanjin or my doom this time?"

"Miss, are you asleep?"

"No."

"Miss, what do you think of Guo Mingxia?" Seeing that the lady didn't answer her, Mingyue understood and changed the subject automatically.

"It's hard for a small family to enter the elegant hall." Although there are basic etiquette, there is no basic self-restraint, which shows that the ancestors have a shallow foundation.Even the Yun family would never raise a young lady with such thin eyelids.This can be seen from the tutoring of the prefect of Yunzhou.

Over there, Mo Nanjin had already taken the three little ones to the orchard. It was already a bit hot in the summer afternoon, and most people in the town had already started their lunch break, and they didn't meet many people along the way.

The grass on the side of the road is very lush in summer, and grasshoppers can be seen jumping around in it from time to time, and white and light yellow butterflies shuttle on the wild flowers.Hundreds of acres of fields are connected by ditches.The wheat has begun to turn yellow, and the rice has grown long ears. Everyone has planted trees by the canal.This is Yunzhi's first visit to the field.Mo Nanjin took her soft little hand and listened to her talking like a bird all the way.

"Daddy, where is the field that belongs to our family?"

"Yunzhi follows Daddy's fingers." Mo Nanjin picked Yunzhi up from the ground and put it on his shoulders. The orchard is located on a high ground, and he can see his own field from a distance, and continued; "Plant by the canal The place with locust trees is our family’s land.”

"Ah, Daddy, I know that locust tree has white flowers and can be eaten."

"Our Yunzhi is so smart."

Yun Zhi happily rubbed Mo Nanjin's cheek.

Jing Zhi and Xing Zhi were not idle along the way, they even caught a few crickets.If you don't pay attention, you will slip into the grass and find no one.

When the garden was opened, Mo Nanjin happened to go shopping in Zhaoyang County. He saw an old farmer selling strawberry seeds on the side of the road, so he bought a small bag and sprinkled it on the corners of the orchard. , There is a large area of ​​dense and prosperous pavement, and I have seen redness a few days ago.Come here today, remove the green leaves above, and the bright red strawberries lie among the green leaves with full and bright colors, exuding an attractive aroma.

The little ones cheered and rushed in with their little baskets.Pick it up and put it in your mouth directly, regardless of the dust on it.

"My little master, little miss, I need to wash before eating." Xiao Mo said, going forward to stop him.

"Forget it, let them go." Mo Nanjin smiled, grabbed Xiao Mo's belt and pulled him back.These strawberries are green and pollution-free in modern times. How about picking them and eating them?Children, follow their nature.

"But—" Xiao Mo still looked at him worriedly.

"Come on." Mo Nanjin simply stuffed the freshly picked strawberries into Xiao Mo's mouth.

"Well, master, these strawberries are very sweet." Xiao Mo swallowed, not forgetting to lick the juice from the corner of his mouth.

"Your food looks really ugly."

"It's very sweet, try it if you don't believe Brother Ming." Xiao Mo made a face at Ming Ting.

"Daddy, look at my strawberry is so big and red, how about giving this to Daddy?" Xingzhi ran back.Holding a strawberry in his hand, he brought it to Mo Nanjin's mouth.

"Daddy, is it sweet?" Seeing Mo Nanjin eating it, Xingzhi looked expectant.

"En, it's very sweet." Jing Zhi snuggled into Mo Nanjin's arms, and kissed Mo Nanjin's lips unexpectedly. He looked like a big cat stealing fish, and he still pursed his lips, smiling at his father and behavior.

"Do you dare to take advantage of Dad?" Mo Nanjin laughed angrily at him, and gently pulled his ears out of his arms.

Xing Zhi poked at the side with an aggrieved face, pouted his pink and tender mouth unwillingly, and said, "Daddy, I want to kiss you too."

Yunzhi turned his head and saw his two older brothers and his father lagging behind. When he heard Xingzhi's words, he also rushed towards him with a smile. Mo Nanjin quickly let go of Jingzhi and stretched out his arms to catch Yunzhi.

"Daddy, Yunzhi kisses too." Yunzhi said in a childish voice, throwing herself into Mo Nanjin's arms.

The corners of Mo Nanjin's lips twitched, his face darkened.

Xiao Mo couldn't help watching from the sidelines, Ming Ting also smiled and frowned.

Only half of the sun can be seen on the hill to the west, the sky is full of sunset, Mo Nanjin and Ming Ting looked again, the fruit trees are growing well, especially crabapple, there are a lot of fruits, the three little ones are clamoring to eat, Mo Nan Jin picked a few strawberries and told them that they were still very sour, and gave them to play with. The three little ones couldn't resist the temptation, sticking out their tongues when they ate them sour, and quickly stuffed a few more strawberries.

From a distance, the smoke from the town's cooking has risen, and the town is indistinct in the blue smoke.The black tiles and white walls standing among the lush trees are like a picture of misty rain in March in the south of the Yangtze River.

There were not a few strawberries left in the baskets of the three small ones all afternoon, and they were still mixed with red and green.On the contrary, Xiao Mo's basket is already half full, and all of them are flushed and full.Mo Nanjin and Ming Ting simply made a basket together with the three of them. The basket was not big, but in fact it wasn't much. The stomachs of several people were full.

The three little ones carried their little baskets and did not let go, so they had no choice but to let them go, and they went down the mountain to go home.In the summer evening, there are still some small stalls on the side of the road, and children are chasing and playing in the street. People facing the street open their doors and can see the situation that makes their families busy for dinner. Some people have dinner early and have already gathered in the big tree Shaking cattail fan to enjoy the cool and chatting.

When Mo Nanjin and the others came back, Old Li, who had a pig's head meat stall at the reception, hadn't closed the stall yet, and was sitting behind the stall smoking a bag of dry cigarettes.On the stove next to the stall, steam was bubbling, and the smell of meat could be smelled from afar.

Jing Zhi and Xing Zhi looked over there intentionally or unintentionally, but didn't say anything.Mo Nanjin smiled, walked forward, and saw two little ones with dazzling eyes at the end of his eyes.

"Uncle Li, the stall has not yet been confiscated."

"It's brother Jin, just came back from the field." Lao Li knocked the cigarette pot on the stone beside him and stood up.

"Yes, Uncle Li, bring me two catties of pork head meat." Lao Li has set up a stall in the town for many years, mainly selling some braised pork head meat, pig offal, and pig intestines.The ancestral craftsmanship, I don't know what spices are used, the meat that is marinated is always very tasty, has a special fragrance and is not greasy at all.The Mo family also makes lo-mei, but Mo Nanjin himself admits that the Li family's lo-mei is indeed better.

"Okay, let's see." Uncle Li took a piece of marinated meat from the pot with a hook, raised the knife in his hand, and put it on the scale, no more, no less, exactly two catties.

"Xiao Jingzhi, Xiao Xingzhi, this is the smallest Yunzhi, right?" Uncle Li packed the cut meat with paper and cotton rope, and waved to the three little ones when he found time.

"Grandpa Li." Mo Nanjin brought Jing Zhi and Xing Zhi to buy a few times before, and these two are familiar with each other, and their mouths are very sweet.

"Grandpa Li, these are the fresh strawberries we picked with Daddy today, give these to Grandpa Li."

"These children are really painful, here, this is for you to eat." Uncle Li took a small bowl from the stove, and there were seven or eight marinated bird eggs in it.

"Xiao Mo?" A carriage had already passed by them, but for some reason it turned back suddenly.The curtain of the car was lifted, and a tall and tall young man jumped out.

Under the sunset in the small town, the expression of the young man was a little fuzzy.up

"Master, let me get this." Mo Nanjin was about to take the meat and pay for it.With a smile, Xiao Mo stretched out a hand to take it.

"Xiao Mo?" Someone patted Xiao Mo on the shoulder and called out uncertainly.

"Ah?" Xiao Mo turned around, the smile froze on his face.

"Eldest young master?" It was Mo Yunzheng who came.

Xiao Mo thought to himself: what happened recently?Why does this person come one after another?
