Your fiancee ran away with someone again
Chapter 24
After getting excited, Qi Zhan felt a little depressed, and said, "No wonder I couldn't find anyone before. It turned out that I was pregnant and stayed in the house and didn't go out."
He arranged for someone to go to Li Yaoyao to tell Qi Zhan everything, and Qi Zhan told Mu Ting carefully.
Because he suspected that Li Yaoyao was having an affair with Mu Qiu, and he couldn't find Li Yaoyao anywhere, Qi Zhan had someone stare at Duke Mu's mansion.
There is a servant in Mu Guogong's mansion who will deliver charcoal and vegetables to a small courtyard every two days. Qi Zhan arranged people to inquire around the small courtyard, only to find out that there lived a young girl and an old man who took care of her. Wife, the residents around thought that the young girl was an outhouse of a rich family. Although they didn't see anyone usually, it didn't stop them from thinking that the girl was not from a good family, so it was easy for Qi Zhan's people to inquire about it. The desired news has arrived.
After confirming that it was Li Yaoyao who lived in the small courtyard, things became much easier afterwards.
"While that bastard Mu Qiu was wandering in the street, he spotted Li Yaoyao who was going out to buy rouge and powder, and then asked someone to pretend to be a hooligan to molest Li Yaoyao. He met several times by chance on the street, and hooked up after going back and forth.
Mu Qiu and Li Yaoyao promised to marry her as the concubine in the future, and then used Li Yaoyao's humble background as an excuse to let Li Yaoyao sleep with him first, and said that when she had a child, she would be able to marry into Mu Guogong's mansion .
Li Yaoyao was also stupid, he really agreed, without even thinking about it, any high-ranking family would marry a woman who lost her virginity before marriage as his main wife, even being a concubine would be regarded as shameless, let alone a regular wife.
Not long after Li Yaoyao was pregnant with the child, Mu Qiu was banned by Mu Guogong for speaking nonsense in the brothel. Afraid of Li Yaoyao's troubles, Mu Qiu coaxed her to say that he was with his father so that she could marry into Mu Guogong's mansion. The mother argued hard, let Li Yaoyao feel at ease to raise the baby, and when his parents agreed, he would marry her right away.Li Yaoyao didn't know the outside news in the small courtyard, so he believed Mu Qiu's nonsense, so he didn't even go out of the courtyard for the past two months, for fear that the child would fail to marry into the Duke's mansion. "
Qi Zhan scolded Mu Qiu angrily, saying that he was a bastard, and that a heartless man who lied to a girl would be punished sooner or later.
After scolding him, he suddenly became happy again, "It's a good thing I didn't marry Li Yaoyao, otherwise our Qi family would have been in great trouble." In Qi Zhan's view, people like Li Yaoyao who want to climb high and have no brains are really a scourge , the more he thought about it, the more fortunate he felt.
After this comparison, he felt that Mu Ting was really nice, and Qi Zhan leaned close to Mu Ting stickily, "Ting Ting, I'm so happy that you came to Qi's house instead of Li Yaoyao."
Mu Ting reminded him, "In this way, you will wear three green hats, are you happy?"
Qi Zhan looked at it very openly, "Green hats are green hats. That's better than marrying them in. I would rather be laughed at by others for the rest of my life than marry a woman who will make Qi's family restless."
"Well," Mu Ting praised his excellent ideas, and at the same time praised, "You used a lot of idioms today, and you have made progress."
Qi Zhan scratched his head modestly, "It's okay, I'm a little angry mainly when I mention this."
"What are you angry about?" Mu Ting said, "Boys and girls are stupid, aren't they made for each other?"
"Yes, Ting Ting, what you said is right. That's it. Anyway, it's none of our business. We just wait and see the good show."
Mu Qiu is not a good person. Li Yaoyao's idea of being a concubine will definitely not come true, and there will be troubles at that time, but Qi Zhan doesn't sympathize with her at all. He thinks that Li Yaoyao is not only stupid but also bad, otherwise he would not Will stun Tingting and let him marry him.
It is best for two people to beat their heads to the ground.
Qi Zhan was imagining the scene of the two fighting, and Mu Ting handed him a letter, "Maybe, others want to watch our good show."
The envelope was not signed, Qi Zhan took the letter and opened it, and there was only one sentence inside - Mu Ting, your good days are over, and the signature, Mu Qiu.
Qi Zhan immediately panicked, "Tingting, where did this letter come from?"
Mu Ting said: "Someone sent it to me. The concierge said that the person who sent the letter was wearing the clothes of a servant of Duke Mu's mansion."
Qi Zhan got angry, and tore the letter into pieces, "Mu Qiu is a bastard, I haven't troubled him yet, he dared to threaten you, I'm going to have someone stare at him now, as long as he I'll beat him up as soon as I go out!"
If you can't beat him to death, you have to beat him to make him paralyzed, to see if he dares to threaten Ting Ting.
Qi Zhan wandered back and forth in the room, swearing at the bastard non-stop, and he was very angry.
Mu Ting held him back, and said helplessly, "Why did you react more violently than me? In fact, it's not that there is no turning point. Since Mu Qiu chose to send the letter, it means that he is waiting for me to negotiate terms with him..."
"No!" Mu Ting was interrupted by Qi Zhan before he finished speaking, and he said angrily, "That's a despicable villain, what good conditions can he have, he must be trying to force you to do things you don't want to do, You don't go."
Mu Ting's displeasure and uneasiness caused by Mu Qiu's letter were broken by Qi Zhan's reaction, he smiled softly, "I won't go, even if Mu Qiu knows that I am in Qi's house, so what, I am He deliberately planned to marry in instead of Li Yaoyao, he can use this matter to threaten me, but it also becomes his own excuse."
"Besides, I still have you, you will stand by my side and speak for me, won't you?"
Qi Zhan nodded heavily, "Yes, with me here, I will never let that villain Mu Qiu succeed in his tricks, hum!"
This letter is a warning. Mu Ting doesn't know what Mu Qiu will do next, but if Mu Qiu really dares to make a fuss, he will not be so afraid. At that time, everyone will know that Mu Qiu is afraid of his false eldest son. As a threat to his position, he teamed up with Li Yaoyao to play such a trick of stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix into a phoenix.
After the incident was exposed, if he was hurt or his life was endangered, everyone's first reaction would be that Mu Qiu did it. Even if Mu Qiu was stupid, the people behind him who advised him would never allow Mu Qiu to attack him again.
What's more, Mu Qiu's replacement of the Qi family's new wife also offended the Qi family thoroughly. As long as the Duke Mu's government doesn't want to completely tear the face off with the Qi family, they have to give the Qi family an explanation. Can't please.
Without the uneasiness and worry before, this brain has a lot of inspiration.
After some analysis, Mu Ting was almost sure that the purpose of Mu Qiu's letter was to negotiate terms with him, so he took the initiative instead.
Mu Ting turned to Qi Zhan and said, "Then do me another favor and ask your people to keep an eye on Li Yaoyao. If you want to deal with Mu Qiu, she will be of great use."
Qi Zhan patted his chest and said, "Tingting, don't worry, I have already arranged it, and I will never let Li Yaoyao run away. Hmph, she bullied you, and I have to settle the score with her. I, Qi Zhan, have nothing to do." The rule of a woman is that I will avenge you after she has given birth at most."
This person is really straightforward and cute.
Mu Ting smiled and said hello, then asked Bai Ling and others to bring the dinner, Mu Ting said: "Eat first, I will go to the kitchen to cook something, practice first, and give it to Miss Zhu's family tomorrow as a gift. "
Mu Ting took Li's words to heart before, and someone outside was talking about the Qi family's gossip, and Mu Ting could probably guess who those words were aimed at. One was Qi's mother's business background, and the noble ladies from these aristocratic families in the capital In their eyes, Qi's mother was not well-known.The second is that two of Qi's mother's three sons have become talented, but the youngest son is not up to the mark. I'm afraid those people will also blame Qi's mother for Qi Zhan's incompetence, saying that Qi Zhan has followed his mother, and he will also be unworthy of the stage. .
The Qi family prepared a gift, Mu Ting had seen it, it was very expensive, and it cost a lot of money and thought. Li Shi said that it was the same in previous years, but every time someone would criticize and say that the gift smelled like copper, it was inferior goods.
Qi Zhan often fights with people outside because of this kind of thing, but it is a fact that Qi's mother's background is not up to par with Qi Zhan, and no amount of fighting can stop someone from still talking badly.
The Qi family is very good in Mu Ting's heart. He doesn't want to hear gossip about the Qi family, and he doesn't want Qi Zhan to get hurt in a fight, so he wants to work hard on gift giving. He will make the gift from the Qi family shock everyone tomorrow. People, and those who look down on the Qi family will never have a share.
As soon as Qi Zhan heard the delicious food, his eyes lit up instantly, "What delicious food are you going to do, Ting Ting?"
Mu Ting said: "You will know in a while, eat first."
Mu Ting was distracted by Mu Qiu's letter, so he didn't make dinner. The food for tonight was cooked by Zhao Quan. Qi Zhan only ate two bowls of rice, saying that he would eat Mu Ting later. Made new food.
Mu Ting felt that he had really spoiled this man's mouth, maybe he should make some preparations in advance.
After eating, Mu Ting walked around the yard twice, and Qi Zhan dragged Mu Ting into the kitchen. Qi Zhan said he wanted to help Mu Ting, so he rolled up his sleeves and asked, "What can I do?"
Like a free coolie delivered to your door, Mutin cracked a few eggs, separated the egg whites from the yolks, added some fine sugar and rice vinegar to the bowl containing the egg whites, and picked up the homemade beaten egg The device demonstrated to Qi Zhan, "That's it, beat in the same direction, and beat until white foam first."
The word "first" is used very well. Qi Zhan can be sure that there are other things to do after Bai Pao, but it doesn't matter. His wife should cook him delicious food, so he should put some effort into it.
So soon there was the sound of Qi Zhan knocking on the bowl in the kitchen, and Mu Ting reminded him kindly, "If the bowl is broken and the egg white inside flows out, you will only be hungry tonight."
Qi Zhan's body shook, and he felt nervous while holding the bowl. He looked at the bowl solemnly, and then promised Mu Ting, "I will definitely not let it break!"
Mu Ting smiled, turned around and continued to work on himself. The gift he wanted to give Miss Zhu was a birthday cake. People in this era have never seen or eaten it. He just needs to make the birthday cake bigger and look better. It looks like Spectacular enough to shock many people.
Mu Ting has been preparing molds and materials since the past few days, but because some materials are lacking in this era, substitutes are needed, so Mu Ting plans to try it tonight to see the effect, and wait for the formal implementation tomorrow to improve.
Of course, the most difficult thing is to beat the egg whites and milk to make cream. Qi Zhan’s free coolie is not enough, so Mu Ting called the servants who usually help in the kitchen. Helping to beat the milk, so for a while, the only sound in the kitchen was the sound of the egg beater colliding with the bowl.
Ding Ding Dang is very lively, of course, it is also very hard.
As a good fighter with good arm strength, Qi Zhan quickly completed the task assigned to him by Mu Ting, and then asked Mu Ting with blinking eyes, "Am I good?"
Like a kid asking for candy.
Mu Ting tapped the beaten egg white and stuck it on Qi Zhan's lips, "That's great, I'll reward you with a few more cakes later."
Qi Zhan licked his lower lip, then smiled, "It's sweet."
Then he turned around Mu Ting and asked him what is cake and what is the difference from ordinary pastry, like a chattering follower.
Mu Ting didn't find it annoying, but it was easy to step on Qi Zhan's feet, and he almost fell down because he couldn't stand still. Qi Zhan pulled him into his arms, and the man pinched his waist. Put it close to his ear and whisper, "Tingting's waist is so thin and easy to touch."
Mu Ting felt that his ears were a little hot, and then his whole body was red from the root of his ears to his neck.
But Qi Zhan was ignorant, and asked him why his ears were so red and whether it was too hot.
Mutin: "..."
Mu Ting silently said a few times in his heart not to be angry with people with bad brains, and began to bake the cake embryos. There was a special stove hole on the stove of Qi's family for baking shortbread, and poured the prepared cake batter into the brush. Put the oil in a barrel-shaped pot, cover it, put a charcoal fire on it, and heat it on both sides.
However, because the temperature is not balanced, you need to pay more attention when baking, otherwise it will be burnt if you are not careful.
The two servants who whipped the cream consciously left the kitchen, leaving only Mu Ting and Qi Zhan in the whole kitchen. Mu Ting was busy cutting fruit and coloring the cream, while Qi Zhan had nothing to do and was thinking about Mu Ting's waist again. .
He moved to Mu Ting's side to discuss with him, "Ting Ting, can I touch your waist again?"
Mutin: "..."
He couldn't help asking, "Since when did you have the hobby of touching men's waists?"
Qi Zhan quickly explained, "I haven't touched anyone else's, I've only touched yours and my own waist, I just think it's nice to touch, so I think..."
"And I don't touch other people's waists casually, I'm not a hooligan!" Qi Zhan's expression was upright.
Mu Ting asked: "Then the one who touched me is not a hooligan?"
"Are you my daughter-in-law?" He said it was taken for granted and extremely natural, completely from the heart.
Then Mutin told him a cruel reality, "I'm pretending."
Qi Zhan sighed, and whispered, "Tingting, it would be great if you were real."
Mu Ting paused and said, "I'm not a woman."
Qi Zhan said, "I know, and I don't want you to be a woman. Your men's clothes look much better than women's clothes!"
"You...you just want a playmate. If there is a chance, we will discuss this matter after you really understand what I mean."
If not, it will be regarded as missed.
Qi Zhan was a little wronged, he thought he understood, but Ting Ting was not happy, but he didn't know why Ting Ting was unhappy, so Qi Zhan behaved very obediently, "Well, I will read more books recently, I will Get it sooner."
Qi Zhan felt that anyway, there were books he didn't understand, and if he read more, he would understand everything. That's how his father taught him.
Mu Ting didn't touch his waist, Qi Zhan didn't leave, he still circled around Mu Ting.
After waiting for a while, the cake was baked. It was eight inches in size. The cake was cut into four pieces, and then the cream was added and fruits were added. There were very few fruits in this season, only pears and oranges, and the two fruits were cut into cubes. Put it in the center of the cake, cover it with cream, then stack it layer by layer, and finally top it with cream, and start decorating.
Mu Ting was very serious and focused all his attention on the cake, so he didn't notice Qi Zhan's surprised expression mixed with my wife's amazing expression.
Even if he stared at it without blinking, Qi Zhan still couldn't figure out how Mu Ting made this white creamy thing into a flower. Mu Ting even drew a chubby puppy on the ground. There are three words written on it and next to it, the prestige team.
"Wow~" Qi Zhan opened his mouth and exclaimed, "Tingting, aren't you really a fairy?"
The vocabulary of compliments is still so monotonous, Mu Ting asked, "Two more compliments, and I will give you something to eat when I am satisfied."
The cake was attractive and attractive, and the sweet fragrance in the air made Qi Zhan, who was not full already, slurp his tongue. He racked his brains for a while before he could hold back two idioms, "Ting Ting, you are ingenious, and your cooking skills are at the peak , can I eat it?"
Mu Ting looked at Qi Zhan's longing face with a smile on his face, and he said: "Go call someone, go to the main room to eat, when you can eat the cake depends on how fast you call people."
"Wow," Qi Zhan howled, and ran out.
Mu Ting shook his head, took the cake and left, he couldn't tell whether it was indulgence or helplessness.
Qi Zhan also tried his best to eat the cake quickly. He rushed into Brother Qi's yard, picked up Su'er who had just finished bathing, and shouted at Brother Qi, "Brother, if you still want your son, go to the parent's yard right away." Leader, if it's late..."
Before he finished threatening, he got a reply from Brother Qi, "No, I'll see you off."
Qi Zhan: "..."
Qi Zhan was stunned, it was different from what he had imagined.
He tossed his son and discussed with him, "Why don't you cry?"
Su'er replied solemnly, "Third Uncle, Su'er can't cry."
Qi Zhan was anxious, "Your third aunt made delicious food, but it was delicious. If your parents don't go, none of us will be able to eat."
After all, it is a child, the food made by Mu Ting is very attractive to him, Su'er pointed to the ground, "Third Uncle, let me go down, I will discuss it with my mother."
Qi Zhan immediately put the man down, and then watched Su'er trotting to find Mrs. Li. The mother and son murmured and didn't know what to say. Su'er came back soon and said to Qi Zhan, "Mother promised to persuade Daddy. Third uncle, let's go first, they will come soon."
"Okay," Qi Zhan lifted Su'er up and ran towards the next destination, the child giggled in cooperation.
When Qi Zhan faced Qi's second brother, he changed his words, "Second brother, if you don't want a daughter anymore, you must not come to the main room. Pei'er will be my daughter in the future."
Then Pei'er with the left hand and Su'er with the right, strode towards the main house.
The second brother Qi scolded the stinky boy, and then said to Mrs. Xu, "Let's go, go and see what kind of nonsense he is up to, it really doesn't stop every day."
Mrs. Xu disagreed with Second Brother Qi's words, "This family is lively because of the presence of the third younger brother. Just you and the eldest brother, who are stern-faced and bookworms, don't feel bored."
The second brother Qi was not annoyed, and asked instead: "Then why did you fall in love with me? The people who proposed marriage at the beginning almost broke through the threshold of your family."
Mrs. Xu snorted, "That's not to say that nerds look handsome."
Brother Qi deliberately teased her, "I don't think it's as simple as being handsome, right?"
Seeing that there was no end to talk, Mrs. Xu was about to stretch out her hand to twist Qi's second brother's waist, when there was a coughing sound from behind.
Second Brother Qi and Shi Xu subconsciously turned around, and saw Big Brother Qi and Li Shi walking behind them at some point.
Second Brother Qi opened his mouth to say something, but Big Brother Qi didn't give him a chance, instead he took Li Shi's hand and passed them, leaving a sentence, "Go on, pretend we don't exist." Then he walked away.
Brother Qi: "..."
Now he probably understands how Qi Zhan felt when he bumped into him when he called himself a vixen before, so he was embarrassed.
The second brother Qi did not escape being pinched, and then muttered that he must have been strangled while leaning forward and grabbing Xu's hand.
So when Qi Zhan was standing at the door waiting for someone to come, he saw the two couples coming in holding hands, and his eyes were red with envy.
He also wanted to hold hands with Ting Ting and enter the door.
Qi Zhan was holding the door open, feeling extremely resentful, which made Mu Ting, who was waiting for him to eat the cake, very puzzled.
Mu Ting walked to the door and asked him, "What's the matter, don't you want to eat cake?"
Qi Zhan put his right hand on his left, held it tightly, and whispered, "Ting Ting, do you understand what I mean?"
Mu Ting looked back at Big Brother Qi and the others, thinking that he should understand, he smiled, "Are you envious?"
Qi Zhan nodded, nodding vigorously, "Me too."
"Then..." Mu Ting deliberately prolonged the tone, and said under Qi Zhan's expectant eyes: "Go back in a while."
Qi Zhan has a strong comprehension ability at the moment, and instantly raised his smiling face, tugged on Mu Ting's sleeve and said, "I want to eat cake!"
Over there, the Qi family was talking around the cake. Obviously, it was the first time they had seen such a meal. Before Brother Qi and the others came, Mu Ting had already introduced the cake to Qi's father and Qi's mother, and Qi's mother repeated the words to Qi. Big brother and a few people listen.
Li Shi said: "Not to mention the craftsmanship of the third sibling, even her head, I don't know how to grow it, and the food she makes is all new things, which let us enjoy our food and open our eyes."
"That's not it," Xu said while hugging Pei'er who was staring at the cake eagerly, "This food called cake, just looking at it makes people salivate."
Mu Ting and Qi Zhan walked over, and Mrs. Li immediately asked Mu Ting how he wanted to eat the cake.
Asked the servant girl to fetch the knife and plate, Mu Ting cut it while explaining, and soon cut out the first piece of cake, and gave it to Father Qi first, "Dad, let's try it first?"
The maid handed the spoon to Qi's father, and Qi's father scooped up a spoonful of the cake with a little cream and put it into his mouth. As soon as he took the mouth, he noticed that the cake was unique, soft and silky, with the sweet fragrance of milk, and The fruity aroma of the fruit in between, with a little coolness, mixed in it is indescribably delicious.
Qi's father took a few mouthfuls before he praised Muting's craftsmanship. It was much more straightforward than at the beginning, and the sentences were longer.
Mu Ting smiled and distributed the freshly cut cake to Qi's mother and the others, and it was Qi Zhan's in the end.
After getting the cake, Qi Zhan was not in a hurry to eat it, but fed a spoonful to Mu Ting's mouth, "I'll eat it first."
Mu Ting turned his head to look at him, and saw that he opened his mouth and silently called Ting Ting, with a smile on his face.
Mutin lowered his head and took the cake into his mouth. The cake was soft and sweet.
Seeing him eating, Qi Zhan scooped up a large spoonful and put it into his mouth in one gulp. His eyes narrowed after eating, and he praised Mu Ting with an idiom, "Daughter-in-law, your cooking skills are really amazing." God!"
Successfully attracted everyone to look sideways at him.
Mrs. Li even walked up to Qi's mother, and teased them both with a smile, "Mother, look at the love between the third brother and the third younger sibling."
Qi's mother nodded, "It's good to be kind and loving," Qi's mother once again felt that she had a good eye, and that she had chosen the right wife for Qi Zhan.
Everyone chatted while eating the cake, and then they talked about how Mu Ting made cakes at night.
Mu Ting only said that he planned to make a big cake tomorrow as a birthday gift for Miss Zhu's family, but he didn't elaborate on the reason, but everyone present except Qi Zhan was not a smart person, and he knew Mu Ting's real intentions as soon as he heard it.
Mrs. Li was the first to speak, "When will I do it tomorrow? I happen to have nothing to do, so I'll go and beat you up." Mrs. Li is in charge of the Qi family's external relations and relationships. Those gossips are the most listened to, and now there are people who beat your face. It's a good opportunity, Li Shi doesn't want to miss it.
Xu pursed her lips and said warmly, "I'm here to join in the fun and see how such a delicious cake is made."
Qi's mother and the men of Qi's family saw it and did not stop it. After all, it was just a birthday gift, so there was nothing to stop it.
Mu Ting agreed, and said the time, it would take time and effort to make the cake, and he planned to make a bigger and better-looking one tomorrow, at least half a day's work.
Qi Zhan discovered that the atmosphere in the house was a little different after discussing with his nephew and niece which cake or other snacks were delicious.
He asked Mu Ting in a low voice, "Dad, mother, are they full from cake?"
His eyes fell on the remaining half of the cake, "Then the rest is mine?"
Without Mu Ting's answer, Qi Zhan happily cut another piece for himself, and teased the two children maliciously, "You are still children, so you can only eat one piece, now look at the third uncle Let's eat~ delicious!"
Too much, Mutin thought.
Fortunately, neither of the two children are crying-loving, otherwise they would definitely quarrel with Qi Zhan.
Mu Ting cut off a large piece of cake and put it on the table. Qi Zhan said, "It's not good to eat too much sweets at night. This is the last piece." I gave the cake to the servant girl, and asked her to share it with the people in the house and taste it.
The maidservants had been serving in the room all the time, and they were already greedy by the smell of the room, so they naturally thanked Mu Ting happily after listening to Mu Ting's words.
It was getting late, everyone went back to their rooms to rest after eating, Qi Zhan finished the cake with a few mouthfuls, and then stretched out his hand expectantly, he still remembered what Mu Ting said before eating the cake.
Mu Ting hesitated for a while before putting his hand on Qi Zhan's palm. Usually, he and Qi Zhan would pull each other's wrists and clothes. This was the first time they held hands seriously.
The hands of two big men are naturally not as soft as women's. The palms are thick and calloused. They are a little rough, but very hot. The two hands that are clasped together can feel each other's temperature. It is warm, as if Also brought a little burning sensation.
What Qi Zhan wants is not only to hold hands, but also to show off in front of his two older brothers. First he passed by the second brother Qi and his wife. Qi Zhan raised the hand he held with Mu Ting and waved it in front of second brother Qi and Xu For a while, he was afraid that others would not see him holding hands with Mu Ting.
Then they passed Brother Qi and his wife again, doing the same thing, Brother Qi endured for a while and didn't say anything, but Qi Zhan didn't know how to restrain himself, and asked, "Brother, have you seen, have you seen what we are doing?"
Then it was terminated by Big Brother Qi with one sentence, "You don't want your hands anymore?"
Qi Zhan: "...huh!"
Qi Zhan, who didn't dare to continue to provoke his elder brother, led Mu Ting away. After confirming that the people behind could not hear them, Qi Zhan expressed his appreciation, "It turns out that holding hands feels like this, I like it."
Mutin asked, "What do you like?"
Qi Zhan: "I like to hold Tingting's hand. Tingting's fingers are so long and beautiful. I want to hold them often in the future."
Stated very clearly.
Mu Ting said: "Let's see your performance."
Qi Zhan didn't mind such an answer, because he thought he was the best at expressing himself, and Ting Ting would definitely agree.
Tomorrow we have to get up early, the two of them came back and went to bed after a simple wash, and someone who just experienced the joy of holding hands naturally refused to let go of this opportunity to go to bed, held Mu Ting's hand tightly, and then went to sleep contentedly !
……
The next day, Mu Ting went to the kitchen early because he was going to make a cake. Qi Zhan rarely stayed in bed even if he didn’t go to school, so he got up and continued to work as a free coolie for Mu Ting.
Mu Ting is going to make a big three-layer cake today, which requires a lot of materials, and the whole kitchen is busy with it.
It took a full hour and a half to make the cake, and none of the people who saw the final product were willing to look away.
If the cake last night was good-looking, then today's cake can be called the best, truly the best.
The cake was placed on the table faster than a person, the whole cake was orange in color, the surface was smoothed and smoothed, the bottom and top were decorated, it was not complicated, just like the finishing touch.
Mu Ting also wrote the name of Miss Zhu's family, Zhu Yun, and congratulations on her birthday.
"I want to go to Zhujia together, I really want to see the expressions of those people when they see this cake," Li Shi said, and the people who made it a little bit by her are so surprised, those who have never seen it Her jaw would drop in shock, and she liked to watch such scenes.
Xu also said: "With so much effort, the taste must be very good. I am reluctant to give it away to make a group of outsiders cheaper."
The other people present also had the same mentality, but they were all servants and dared not say such things.
Mu Ting looked at their reaction and smiled, "We will make it when someone in the family celebrates their birthday. It is bigger and better looking than this one, and everyone can eat it."
The servants in the kitchen yelled on the spot, saying hello to the third young lady.
The cake is big, so you have to be careful during the handling process. The cake is covered with a custom-made wooden cover, and it takes two strong people to lift it out.
Cake didn't ride in the same carriage with them, but went to Zhu's house in a single car behind. Afraid of accidents on the way, Mrs. Li arranged for a few more servants to accompany them as escorts, and the treatment was better than that of Mu Ting. .
After changing clothes and getting into the carriage, Mu Ting asked Qi Zhan, who was very quiet today, "What are you thinking?"
Qi Zhan looked sad, "Tingting, what if someone recognizes that you are not Li Yaoyao?"
Qi Zhan only thought of this question after listening to Mrs. Li and the others talking about who would go to the Zhu family today. Although Mu Ting's current attire makes it hard to recognize that he is the false eldest son of Mu Guogong's mansion, but Li Yaoyao must go out Those who have met people will always know her. How can two people with completely different looks not arouse suspicion.
Qi Zhan said: "Tingting, why don't you just say you're not feeling well, and I'll go alone." Qi Zhan didn't want anyone to notice that Mu Ting's identity was wrong, he knew what that meant.
Mu Ting was a little surprised. He didn't expect Qi Zhan to think of this, which also shows that this person really has a heart, otherwise his straightforward mind would definitely not think too much.
Mu Ting shook his head, "It's too late now, I just finished making the cake vigorously, and then I feel uncomfortable after walking halfway, it's too fake."
Moreover, pretending to be sick is also a technical job, and the doctor can see through it on the spot.
"Then what should we do?" Qi Zhan was a little anxious.
Mu Ting patted him reassuringly, "Don't worry, I thought about it before, Li Yaoyao probably doesn't have any close friends."
Mu Ting and Qi Zhan analyzed that he has been in Qi's house for almost three months, and he has not received a post about visiting as a guest, and no one has invited him to play at any house. As for not contacting once every two or three months.
As long as you don't know Li Yaoyao very well, even if other people suspect him, you won't be able to expose him on the spot. Moreover, according to Li Yaoyao's background, she might not be able to enter the friendship circle of Miss Zhu's family.
Ladies of noble birth would not be able to remember what the daughter of a sixth-rank petty official family looked like.
Mu Ting said: "Don't worry, it's fine." Even if he really recognized it, it doesn't matter, he can also take the opportunity to counter Mu Qiu.
Qi Zhan thought for a while and said, "Then if something goes wrong for a while, we'll go home right away."
The corner of Mu Ting's mouth rose, "Okay."
……
Zhu Yun's 15th birthday today, because she is a junior, invited her peers of the same age, the pomp at the door was not big, there were only two servants and maids, one was in charge of entertaining at the door, and the other was in charge of leading the way.
After entering the door, Qi Zhan and Mu Ting were about to separate. Mu Ting went to the female guest's side and was entertained by Miss Zhu's family.Qi Zhan went to the male guest's side and was entertained by Zhu Yun's brothers.
Holding the gift, Mu Ting walked all the way to the courtyard where Zhu Yun entertained guests. The maid introduced her identity, and Zhu Yun greeted her enthusiastically soon, and called her sister-in-law.
Mu Ting handed her the gift, "I wish my sister a happy birthday, more and more beautiful."
Many people had already come in front of Mu Ting, and he heard a cold snort just as he handed out the gift.
Mu Ting heard the sound and looked, and saw a young girl in red, with her chin raised, she had the most noble and glamorous expression of a girl, but the disdain in her eyes was shining brightly.
Bai Ling behind Mu Ting whispered, "That's a girl from the household servant's right servant's family, her name is Yu Ling. She has a sister who entered the palace and became a concubine. It is said that she is very favored."
Mu Ting nodded slightly, but didn't take it seriously.
Zhu Yun received the gift here, but before she could speak, another voice rang out, "I don't know what valuable and good thing Mrs. Qi Sanshao gave today, can we sisters have the honor to take a look?"
Coupled with that tone of voice, it's really a bit too yin and yang.
Mu Ting's face remained unchanged, "Who is this girl?"
The woman who spoke froze for a moment, and felt a little annoyed at being humiliated in disbelief.
There were other people around who didn't give face, they just laughed out loud, which made the woman's complexion even uglier.
The little girl Zhu Yun mouthed Mu Ting's cousin, and then stretched out her finger to make a two.
Mu Ting realized that this was Qi Zhan's second cuckold, but Mu Ting forgot about it, and did not expect this to happen.
After knowing the other party's identity, Mu Ting didn't plan to talk to her anymore. This is obviously a girl with a bad mind, so don't take it to heart.
Mu Ting's lack of face, coupled with the eyes of other people around her, made Lin Xuan'er feel extremely embarrassed, she gave Mu Ting a hard look, and said: "A daughter of a sixth-rank official is only worthy of pick I don't want this girl, a dude like Qi San will never be successful in his life, let's see how long you can do it."
This is beyond words, Mu Ting collected his expression, and said: "My husband is very good, thank you for your success, and I also wish you and your sweetheart will get married soon."
Laughing again, Lin Xuan'er's face flushed red, and her eyes stared at Mu Ting even wider, after all, Mu Ting's words really touched Lin Xuan'er's heart.
Her cousin pretended to be a bandit to snatch her relatives in the street. This incident really slapped the Qi family in the face. Qi's father is not a vegetarian, so he directly participated in it. Lin Xuaner's cousin who pretended to be a bandit was assigned by the current emperor. I went to be a real bandit, and gave it to a cottage where there were bandits before, so that only the bandits who had been on the mountain for three years could return to Beijing.
As a bandit, he naturally has no one to provide food and clothing, and he relies on himself to rob everything, but if he really dares to rob, he will probably move in a blink of an eye, and his family will not be able to escape.
Cousin has gone to become a bandit, Lin Xuan'er who was robbed of her marriage is naturally impossible to marry, and others will not marry a woman who elopes with others in the street,
He arranged for someone to go to Li Yaoyao to tell Qi Zhan everything, and Qi Zhan told Mu Ting carefully.
Because he suspected that Li Yaoyao was having an affair with Mu Qiu, and he couldn't find Li Yaoyao anywhere, Qi Zhan had someone stare at Duke Mu's mansion.
There is a servant in Mu Guogong's mansion who will deliver charcoal and vegetables to a small courtyard every two days. Qi Zhan arranged people to inquire around the small courtyard, only to find out that there lived a young girl and an old man who took care of her. Wife, the residents around thought that the young girl was an outhouse of a rich family. Although they didn't see anyone usually, it didn't stop them from thinking that the girl was not from a good family, so it was easy for Qi Zhan's people to inquire about it. The desired news has arrived.
After confirming that it was Li Yaoyao who lived in the small courtyard, things became much easier afterwards.
"While that bastard Mu Qiu was wandering in the street, he spotted Li Yaoyao who was going out to buy rouge and powder, and then asked someone to pretend to be a hooligan to molest Li Yaoyao. He met several times by chance on the street, and hooked up after going back and forth.
Mu Qiu and Li Yaoyao promised to marry her as the concubine in the future, and then used Li Yaoyao's humble background as an excuse to let Li Yaoyao sleep with him first, and said that when she had a child, she would be able to marry into Mu Guogong's mansion .
Li Yaoyao was also stupid, he really agreed, without even thinking about it, any high-ranking family would marry a woman who lost her virginity before marriage as his main wife, even being a concubine would be regarded as shameless, let alone a regular wife.
Not long after Li Yaoyao was pregnant with the child, Mu Qiu was banned by Mu Guogong for speaking nonsense in the brothel. Afraid of Li Yaoyao's troubles, Mu Qiu coaxed her to say that he was with his father so that she could marry into Mu Guogong's mansion. The mother argued hard, let Li Yaoyao feel at ease to raise the baby, and when his parents agreed, he would marry her right away.Li Yaoyao didn't know the outside news in the small courtyard, so he believed Mu Qiu's nonsense, so he didn't even go out of the courtyard for the past two months, for fear that the child would fail to marry into the Duke's mansion. "
Qi Zhan scolded Mu Qiu angrily, saying that he was a bastard, and that a heartless man who lied to a girl would be punished sooner or later.
After scolding him, he suddenly became happy again, "It's a good thing I didn't marry Li Yaoyao, otherwise our Qi family would have been in great trouble." In Qi Zhan's view, people like Li Yaoyao who want to climb high and have no brains are really a scourge , the more he thought about it, the more fortunate he felt.
After this comparison, he felt that Mu Ting was really nice, and Qi Zhan leaned close to Mu Ting stickily, "Ting Ting, I'm so happy that you came to Qi's house instead of Li Yaoyao."
Mu Ting reminded him, "In this way, you will wear three green hats, are you happy?"
Qi Zhan looked at it very openly, "Green hats are green hats. That's better than marrying them in. I would rather be laughed at by others for the rest of my life than marry a woman who will make Qi's family restless."
"Well," Mu Ting praised his excellent ideas, and at the same time praised, "You used a lot of idioms today, and you have made progress."
Qi Zhan scratched his head modestly, "It's okay, I'm a little angry mainly when I mention this."
"What are you angry about?" Mu Ting said, "Boys and girls are stupid, aren't they made for each other?"
"Yes, Ting Ting, what you said is right. That's it. Anyway, it's none of our business. We just wait and see the good show."
Mu Qiu is not a good person. Li Yaoyao's idea of being a concubine will definitely not come true, and there will be troubles at that time, but Qi Zhan doesn't sympathize with her at all. He thinks that Li Yaoyao is not only stupid but also bad, otherwise he would not Will stun Tingting and let him marry him.
It is best for two people to beat their heads to the ground.
Qi Zhan was imagining the scene of the two fighting, and Mu Ting handed him a letter, "Maybe, others want to watch our good show."
The envelope was not signed, Qi Zhan took the letter and opened it, and there was only one sentence inside - Mu Ting, your good days are over, and the signature, Mu Qiu.
Qi Zhan immediately panicked, "Tingting, where did this letter come from?"
Mu Ting said: "Someone sent it to me. The concierge said that the person who sent the letter was wearing the clothes of a servant of Duke Mu's mansion."
Qi Zhan got angry, and tore the letter into pieces, "Mu Qiu is a bastard, I haven't troubled him yet, he dared to threaten you, I'm going to have someone stare at him now, as long as he I'll beat him up as soon as I go out!"
If you can't beat him to death, you have to beat him to make him paralyzed, to see if he dares to threaten Ting Ting.
Qi Zhan wandered back and forth in the room, swearing at the bastard non-stop, and he was very angry.
Mu Ting held him back, and said helplessly, "Why did you react more violently than me? In fact, it's not that there is no turning point. Since Mu Qiu chose to send the letter, it means that he is waiting for me to negotiate terms with him..."
"No!" Mu Ting was interrupted by Qi Zhan before he finished speaking, and he said angrily, "That's a despicable villain, what good conditions can he have, he must be trying to force you to do things you don't want to do, You don't go."
Mu Ting's displeasure and uneasiness caused by Mu Qiu's letter were broken by Qi Zhan's reaction, he smiled softly, "I won't go, even if Mu Qiu knows that I am in Qi's house, so what, I am He deliberately planned to marry in instead of Li Yaoyao, he can use this matter to threaten me, but it also becomes his own excuse."
"Besides, I still have you, you will stand by my side and speak for me, won't you?"
Qi Zhan nodded heavily, "Yes, with me here, I will never let that villain Mu Qiu succeed in his tricks, hum!"
This letter is a warning. Mu Ting doesn't know what Mu Qiu will do next, but if Mu Qiu really dares to make a fuss, he will not be so afraid. At that time, everyone will know that Mu Qiu is afraid of his false eldest son. As a threat to his position, he teamed up with Li Yaoyao to play such a trick of stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix into a phoenix.
After the incident was exposed, if he was hurt or his life was endangered, everyone's first reaction would be that Mu Qiu did it. Even if Mu Qiu was stupid, the people behind him who advised him would never allow Mu Qiu to attack him again.
What's more, Mu Qiu's replacement of the Qi family's new wife also offended the Qi family thoroughly. As long as the Duke Mu's government doesn't want to completely tear the face off with the Qi family, they have to give the Qi family an explanation. Can't please.
Without the uneasiness and worry before, this brain has a lot of inspiration.
After some analysis, Mu Ting was almost sure that the purpose of Mu Qiu's letter was to negotiate terms with him, so he took the initiative instead.
Mu Ting turned to Qi Zhan and said, "Then do me another favor and ask your people to keep an eye on Li Yaoyao. If you want to deal with Mu Qiu, she will be of great use."
Qi Zhan patted his chest and said, "Tingting, don't worry, I have already arranged it, and I will never let Li Yaoyao run away. Hmph, she bullied you, and I have to settle the score with her. I, Qi Zhan, have nothing to do." The rule of a woman is that I will avenge you after she has given birth at most."
This person is really straightforward and cute.
Mu Ting smiled and said hello, then asked Bai Ling and others to bring the dinner, Mu Ting said: "Eat first, I will go to the kitchen to cook something, practice first, and give it to Miss Zhu's family tomorrow as a gift. "
Mu Ting took Li's words to heart before, and someone outside was talking about the Qi family's gossip, and Mu Ting could probably guess who those words were aimed at. One was Qi's mother's business background, and the noble ladies from these aristocratic families in the capital In their eyes, Qi's mother was not well-known.The second is that two of Qi's mother's three sons have become talented, but the youngest son is not up to the mark. I'm afraid those people will also blame Qi's mother for Qi Zhan's incompetence, saying that Qi Zhan has followed his mother, and he will also be unworthy of the stage. .
The Qi family prepared a gift, Mu Ting had seen it, it was very expensive, and it cost a lot of money and thought. Li Shi said that it was the same in previous years, but every time someone would criticize and say that the gift smelled like copper, it was inferior goods.
Qi Zhan often fights with people outside because of this kind of thing, but it is a fact that Qi's mother's background is not up to par with Qi Zhan, and no amount of fighting can stop someone from still talking badly.
The Qi family is very good in Mu Ting's heart. He doesn't want to hear gossip about the Qi family, and he doesn't want Qi Zhan to get hurt in a fight, so he wants to work hard on gift giving. He will make the gift from the Qi family shock everyone tomorrow. People, and those who look down on the Qi family will never have a share.
As soon as Qi Zhan heard the delicious food, his eyes lit up instantly, "What delicious food are you going to do, Ting Ting?"
Mu Ting said: "You will know in a while, eat first."
Mu Ting was distracted by Mu Qiu's letter, so he didn't make dinner. The food for tonight was cooked by Zhao Quan. Qi Zhan only ate two bowls of rice, saying that he would eat Mu Ting later. Made new food.
Mu Ting felt that he had really spoiled this man's mouth, maybe he should make some preparations in advance.
After eating, Mu Ting walked around the yard twice, and Qi Zhan dragged Mu Ting into the kitchen. Qi Zhan said he wanted to help Mu Ting, so he rolled up his sleeves and asked, "What can I do?"
Like a free coolie delivered to your door, Mutin cracked a few eggs, separated the egg whites from the yolks, added some fine sugar and rice vinegar to the bowl containing the egg whites, and picked up the homemade beaten egg The device demonstrated to Qi Zhan, "That's it, beat in the same direction, and beat until white foam first."
The word "first" is used very well. Qi Zhan can be sure that there are other things to do after Bai Pao, but it doesn't matter. His wife should cook him delicious food, so he should put some effort into it.
So soon there was the sound of Qi Zhan knocking on the bowl in the kitchen, and Mu Ting reminded him kindly, "If the bowl is broken and the egg white inside flows out, you will only be hungry tonight."
Qi Zhan's body shook, and he felt nervous while holding the bowl. He looked at the bowl solemnly, and then promised Mu Ting, "I will definitely not let it break!"
Mu Ting smiled, turned around and continued to work on himself. The gift he wanted to give Miss Zhu was a birthday cake. People in this era have never seen or eaten it. He just needs to make the birthday cake bigger and look better. It looks like Spectacular enough to shock many people.
Mu Ting has been preparing molds and materials since the past few days, but because some materials are lacking in this era, substitutes are needed, so Mu Ting plans to try it tonight to see the effect, and wait for the formal implementation tomorrow to improve.
Of course, the most difficult thing is to beat the egg whites and milk to make cream. Qi Zhan’s free coolie is not enough, so Mu Ting called the servants who usually help in the kitchen. Helping to beat the milk, so for a while, the only sound in the kitchen was the sound of the egg beater colliding with the bowl.
Ding Ding Dang is very lively, of course, it is also very hard.
As a good fighter with good arm strength, Qi Zhan quickly completed the task assigned to him by Mu Ting, and then asked Mu Ting with blinking eyes, "Am I good?"
Like a kid asking for candy.
Mu Ting tapped the beaten egg white and stuck it on Qi Zhan's lips, "That's great, I'll reward you with a few more cakes later."
Qi Zhan licked his lower lip, then smiled, "It's sweet."
Then he turned around Mu Ting and asked him what is cake and what is the difference from ordinary pastry, like a chattering follower.
Mu Ting didn't find it annoying, but it was easy to step on Qi Zhan's feet, and he almost fell down because he couldn't stand still. Qi Zhan pulled him into his arms, and the man pinched his waist. Put it close to his ear and whisper, "Tingting's waist is so thin and easy to touch."
Mu Ting felt that his ears were a little hot, and then his whole body was red from the root of his ears to his neck.
But Qi Zhan was ignorant, and asked him why his ears were so red and whether it was too hot.
Mutin: "..."
Mu Ting silently said a few times in his heart not to be angry with people with bad brains, and began to bake the cake embryos. There was a special stove hole on the stove of Qi's family for baking shortbread, and poured the prepared cake batter into the brush. Put the oil in a barrel-shaped pot, cover it, put a charcoal fire on it, and heat it on both sides.
However, because the temperature is not balanced, you need to pay more attention when baking, otherwise it will be burnt if you are not careful.
The two servants who whipped the cream consciously left the kitchen, leaving only Mu Ting and Qi Zhan in the whole kitchen. Mu Ting was busy cutting fruit and coloring the cream, while Qi Zhan had nothing to do and was thinking about Mu Ting's waist again. .
He moved to Mu Ting's side to discuss with him, "Ting Ting, can I touch your waist again?"
Mutin: "..."
He couldn't help asking, "Since when did you have the hobby of touching men's waists?"
Qi Zhan quickly explained, "I haven't touched anyone else's, I've only touched yours and my own waist, I just think it's nice to touch, so I think..."
"And I don't touch other people's waists casually, I'm not a hooligan!" Qi Zhan's expression was upright.
Mu Ting asked: "Then the one who touched me is not a hooligan?"
"Are you my daughter-in-law?" He said it was taken for granted and extremely natural, completely from the heart.
Then Mutin told him a cruel reality, "I'm pretending."
Qi Zhan sighed, and whispered, "Tingting, it would be great if you were real."
Mu Ting paused and said, "I'm not a woman."
Qi Zhan said, "I know, and I don't want you to be a woman. Your men's clothes look much better than women's clothes!"
"You...you just want a playmate. If there is a chance, we will discuss this matter after you really understand what I mean."
If not, it will be regarded as missed.
Qi Zhan was a little wronged, he thought he understood, but Ting Ting was not happy, but he didn't know why Ting Ting was unhappy, so Qi Zhan behaved very obediently, "Well, I will read more books recently, I will Get it sooner."
Qi Zhan felt that anyway, there were books he didn't understand, and if he read more, he would understand everything. That's how his father taught him.
Mu Ting didn't touch his waist, Qi Zhan didn't leave, he still circled around Mu Ting.
After waiting for a while, the cake was baked. It was eight inches in size. The cake was cut into four pieces, and then the cream was added and fruits were added. There were very few fruits in this season, only pears and oranges, and the two fruits were cut into cubes. Put it in the center of the cake, cover it with cream, then stack it layer by layer, and finally top it with cream, and start decorating.
Mu Ting was very serious and focused all his attention on the cake, so he didn't notice Qi Zhan's surprised expression mixed with my wife's amazing expression.
Even if he stared at it without blinking, Qi Zhan still couldn't figure out how Mu Ting made this white creamy thing into a flower. Mu Ting even drew a chubby puppy on the ground. There are three words written on it and next to it, the prestige team.
"Wow~" Qi Zhan opened his mouth and exclaimed, "Tingting, aren't you really a fairy?"
The vocabulary of compliments is still so monotonous, Mu Ting asked, "Two more compliments, and I will give you something to eat when I am satisfied."
The cake was attractive and attractive, and the sweet fragrance in the air made Qi Zhan, who was not full already, slurp his tongue. He racked his brains for a while before he could hold back two idioms, "Ting Ting, you are ingenious, and your cooking skills are at the peak , can I eat it?"
Mu Ting looked at Qi Zhan's longing face with a smile on his face, and he said: "Go call someone, go to the main room to eat, when you can eat the cake depends on how fast you call people."
"Wow," Qi Zhan howled, and ran out.
Mu Ting shook his head, took the cake and left, he couldn't tell whether it was indulgence or helplessness.
Qi Zhan also tried his best to eat the cake quickly. He rushed into Brother Qi's yard, picked up Su'er who had just finished bathing, and shouted at Brother Qi, "Brother, if you still want your son, go to the parent's yard right away." Leader, if it's late..."
Before he finished threatening, he got a reply from Brother Qi, "No, I'll see you off."
Qi Zhan: "..."
Qi Zhan was stunned, it was different from what he had imagined.
He tossed his son and discussed with him, "Why don't you cry?"
Su'er replied solemnly, "Third Uncle, Su'er can't cry."
Qi Zhan was anxious, "Your third aunt made delicious food, but it was delicious. If your parents don't go, none of us will be able to eat."
After all, it is a child, the food made by Mu Ting is very attractive to him, Su'er pointed to the ground, "Third Uncle, let me go down, I will discuss it with my mother."
Qi Zhan immediately put the man down, and then watched Su'er trotting to find Mrs. Li. The mother and son murmured and didn't know what to say. Su'er came back soon and said to Qi Zhan, "Mother promised to persuade Daddy. Third uncle, let's go first, they will come soon."
"Okay," Qi Zhan lifted Su'er up and ran towards the next destination, the child giggled in cooperation.
When Qi Zhan faced Qi's second brother, he changed his words, "Second brother, if you don't want a daughter anymore, you must not come to the main room. Pei'er will be my daughter in the future."
Then Pei'er with the left hand and Su'er with the right, strode towards the main house.
The second brother Qi scolded the stinky boy, and then said to Mrs. Xu, "Let's go, go and see what kind of nonsense he is up to, it really doesn't stop every day."
Mrs. Xu disagreed with Second Brother Qi's words, "This family is lively because of the presence of the third younger brother. Just you and the eldest brother, who are stern-faced and bookworms, don't feel bored."
The second brother Qi was not annoyed, and asked instead: "Then why did you fall in love with me? The people who proposed marriage at the beginning almost broke through the threshold of your family."
Mrs. Xu snorted, "That's not to say that nerds look handsome."
Brother Qi deliberately teased her, "I don't think it's as simple as being handsome, right?"
Seeing that there was no end to talk, Mrs. Xu was about to stretch out her hand to twist Qi's second brother's waist, when there was a coughing sound from behind.
Second Brother Qi and Shi Xu subconsciously turned around, and saw Big Brother Qi and Li Shi walking behind them at some point.
Second Brother Qi opened his mouth to say something, but Big Brother Qi didn't give him a chance, instead he took Li Shi's hand and passed them, leaving a sentence, "Go on, pretend we don't exist." Then he walked away.
Brother Qi: "..."
Now he probably understands how Qi Zhan felt when he bumped into him when he called himself a vixen before, so he was embarrassed.
The second brother Qi did not escape being pinched, and then muttered that he must have been strangled while leaning forward and grabbing Xu's hand.
So when Qi Zhan was standing at the door waiting for someone to come, he saw the two couples coming in holding hands, and his eyes were red with envy.
He also wanted to hold hands with Ting Ting and enter the door.
Qi Zhan was holding the door open, feeling extremely resentful, which made Mu Ting, who was waiting for him to eat the cake, very puzzled.
Mu Ting walked to the door and asked him, "What's the matter, don't you want to eat cake?"
Qi Zhan put his right hand on his left, held it tightly, and whispered, "Ting Ting, do you understand what I mean?"
Mu Ting looked back at Big Brother Qi and the others, thinking that he should understand, he smiled, "Are you envious?"
Qi Zhan nodded, nodding vigorously, "Me too."
"Then..." Mu Ting deliberately prolonged the tone, and said under Qi Zhan's expectant eyes: "Go back in a while."
Qi Zhan has a strong comprehension ability at the moment, and instantly raised his smiling face, tugged on Mu Ting's sleeve and said, "I want to eat cake!"
Over there, the Qi family was talking around the cake. Obviously, it was the first time they had seen such a meal. Before Brother Qi and the others came, Mu Ting had already introduced the cake to Qi's father and Qi's mother, and Qi's mother repeated the words to Qi. Big brother and a few people listen.
Li Shi said: "Not to mention the craftsmanship of the third sibling, even her head, I don't know how to grow it, and the food she makes is all new things, which let us enjoy our food and open our eyes."
"That's not it," Xu said while hugging Pei'er who was staring at the cake eagerly, "This food called cake, just looking at it makes people salivate."
Mu Ting and Qi Zhan walked over, and Mrs. Li immediately asked Mu Ting how he wanted to eat the cake.
Asked the servant girl to fetch the knife and plate, Mu Ting cut it while explaining, and soon cut out the first piece of cake, and gave it to Father Qi first, "Dad, let's try it first?"
The maid handed the spoon to Qi's father, and Qi's father scooped up a spoonful of the cake with a little cream and put it into his mouth. As soon as he took the mouth, he noticed that the cake was unique, soft and silky, with the sweet fragrance of milk, and The fruity aroma of the fruit in between, with a little coolness, mixed in it is indescribably delicious.
Qi's father took a few mouthfuls before he praised Muting's craftsmanship. It was much more straightforward than at the beginning, and the sentences were longer.
Mu Ting smiled and distributed the freshly cut cake to Qi's mother and the others, and it was Qi Zhan's in the end.
After getting the cake, Qi Zhan was not in a hurry to eat it, but fed a spoonful to Mu Ting's mouth, "I'll eat it first."
Mu Ting turned his head to look at him, and saw that he opened his mouth and silently called Ting Ting, with a smile on his face.
Mutin lowered his head and took the cake into his mouth. The cake was soft and sweet.
Seeing him eating, Qi Zhan scooped up a large spoonful and put it into his mouth in one gulp. His eyes narrowed after eating, and he praised Mu Ting with an idiom, "Daughter-in-law, your cooking skills are really amazing." God!"
Successfully attracted everyone to look sideways at him.
Mrs. Li even walked up to Qi's mother, and teased them both with a smile, "Mother, look at the love between the third brother and the third younger sibling."
Qi's mother nodded, "It's good to be kind and loving," Qi's mother once again felt that she had a good eye, and that she had chosen the right wife for Qi Zhan.
Everyone chatted while eating the cake, and then they talked about how Mu Ting made cakes at night.
Mu Ting only said that he planned to make a big cake tomorrow as a birthday gift for Miss Zhu's family, but he didn't elaborate on the reason, but everyone present except Qi Zhan was not a smart person, and he knew Mu Ting's real intentions as soon as he heard it.
Mrs. Li was the first to speak, "When will I do it tomorrow? I happen to have nothing to do, so I'll go and beat you up." Mrs. Li is in charge of the Qi family's external relations and relationships. Those gossips are the most listened to, and now there are people who beat your face. It's a good opportunity, Li Shi doesn't want to miss it.
Xu pursed her lips and said warmly, "I'm here to join in the fun and see how such a delicious cake is made."
Qi's mother and the men of Qi's family saw it and did not stop it. After all, it was just a birthday gift, so there was nothing to stop it.
Mu Ting agreed, and said the time, it would take time and effort to make the cake, and he planned to make a bigger and better-looking one tomorrow, at least half a day's work.
Qi Zhan discovered that the atmosphere in the house was a little different after discussing with his nephew and niece which cake or other snacks were delicious.
He asked Mu Ting in a low voice, "Dad, mother, are they full from cake?"
His eyes fell on the remaining half of the cake, "Then the rest is mine?"
Without Mu Ting's answer, Qi Zhan happily cut another piece for himself, and teased the two children maliciously, "You are still children, so you can only eat one piece, now look at the third uncle Let's eat~ delicious!"
Too much, Mutin thought.
Fortunately, neither of the two children are crying-loving, otherwise they would definitely quarrel with Qi Zhan.
Mu Ting cut off a large piece of cake and put it on the table. Qi Zhan said, "It's not good to eat too much sweets at night. This is the last piece." I gave the cake to the servant girl, and asked her to share it with the people in the house and taste it.
The maidservants had been serving in the room all the time, and they were already greedy by the smell of the room, so they naturally thanked Mu Ting happily after listening to Mu Ting's words.
It was getting late, everyone went back to their rooms to rest after eating, Qi Zhan finished the cake with a few mouthfuls, and then stretched out his hand expectantly, he still remembered what Mu Ting said before eating the cake.
Mu Ting hesitated for a while before putting his hand on Qi Zhan's palm. Usually, he and Qi Zhan would pull each other's wrists and clothes. This was the first time they held hands seriously.
The hands of two big men are naturally not as soft as women's. The palms are thick and calloused. They are a little rough, but very hot. The two hands that are clasped together can feel each other's temperature. It is warm, as if Also brought a little burning sensation.
What Qi Zhan wants is not only to hold hands, but also to show off in front of his two older brothers. First he passed by the second brother Qi and his wife. Qi Zhan raised the hand he held with Mu Ting and waved it in front of second brother Qi and Xu For a while, he was afraid that others would not see him holding hands with Mu Ting.
Then they passed Brother Qi and his wife again, doing the same thing, Brother Qi endured for a while and didn't say anything, but Qi Zhan didn't know how to restrain himself, and asked, "Brother, have you seen, have you seen what we are doing?"
Then it was terminated by Big Brother Qi with one sentence, "You don't want your hands anymore?"
Qi Zhan: "...huh!"
Qi Zhan, who didn't dare to continue to provoke his elder brother, led Mu Ting away. After confirming that the people behind could not hear them, Qi Zhan expressed his appreciation, "It turns out that holding hands feels like this, I like it."
Mutin asked, "What do you like?"
Qi Zhan: "I like to hold Tingting's hand. Tingting's fingers are so long and beautiful. I want to hold them often in the future."
Stated very clearly.
Mu Ting said: "Let's see your performance."
Qi Zhan didn't mind such an answer, because he thought he was the best at expressing himself, and Ting Ting would definitely agree.
Tomorrow we have to get up early, the two of them came back and went to bed after a simple wash, and someone who just experienced the joy of holding hands naturally refused to let go of this opportunity to go to bed, held Mu Ting's hand tightly, and then went to sleep contentedly !
……
The next day, Mu Ting went to the kitchen early because he was going to make a cake. Qi Zhan rarely stayed in bed even if he didn’t go to school, so he got up and continued to work as a free coolie for Mu Ting.
Mu Ting is going to make a big three-layer cake today, which requires a lot of materials, and the whole kitchen is busy with it.
It took a full hour and a half to make the cake, and none of the people who saw the final product were willing to look away.
If the cake last night was good-looking, then today's cake can be called the best, truly the best.
The cake was placed on the table faster than a person, the whole cake was orange in color, the surface was smoothed and smoothed, the bottom and top were decorated, it was not complicated, just like the finishing touch.
Mu Ting also wrote the name of Miss Zhu's family, Zhu Yun, and congratulations on her birthday.
"I want to go to Zhujia together, I really want to see the expressions of those people when they see this cake," Li Shi said, and the people who made it a little bit by her are so surprised, those who have never seen it Her jaw would drop in shock, and she liked to watch such scenes.
Xu also said: "With so much effort, the taste must be very good. I am reluctant to give it away to make a group of outsiders cheaper."
The other people present also had the same mentality, but they were all servants and dared not say such things.
Mu Ting looked at their reaction and smiled, "We will make it when someone in the family celebrates their birthday. It is bigger and better looking than this one, and everyone can eat it."
The servants in the kitchen yelled on the spot, saying hello to the third young lady.
The cake is big, so you have to be careful during the handling process. The cake is covered with a custom-made wooden cover, and it takes two strong people to lift it out.
Cake didn't ride in the same carriage with them, but went to Zhu's house in a single car behind. Afraid of accidents on the way, Mrs. Li arranged for a few more servants to accompany them as escorts, and the treatment was better than that of Mu Ting. .
After changing clothes and getting into the carriage, Mu Ting asked Qi Zhan, who was very quiet today, "What are you thinking?"
Qi Zhan looked sad, "Tingting, what if someone recognizes that you are not Li Yaoyao?"
Qi Zhan only thought of this question after listening to Mrs. Li and the others talking about who would go to the Zhu family today. Although Mu Ting's current attire makes it hard to recognize that he is the false eldest son of Mu Guogong's mansion, but Li Yaoyao must go out Those who have met people will always know her. How can two people with completely different looks not arouse suspicion.
Qi Zhan said: "Tingting, why don't you just say you're not feeling well, and I'll go alone." Qi Zhan didn't want anyone to notice that Mu Ting's identity was wrong, he knew what that meant.
Mu Ting was a little surprised. He didn't expect Qi Zhan to think of this, which also shows that this person really has a heart, otherwise his straightforward mind would definitely not think too much.
Mu Ting shook his head, "It's too late now, I just finished making the cake vigorously, and then I feel uncomfortable after walking halfway, it's too fake."
Moreover, pretending to be sick is also a technical job, and the doctor can see through it on the spot.
"Then what should we do?" Qi Zhan was a little anxious.
Mu Ting patted him reassuringly, "Don't worry, I thought about it before, Li Yaoyao probably doesn't have any close friends."
Mu Ting and Qi Zhan analyzed that he has been in Qi's house for almost three months, and he has not received a post about visiting as a guest, and no one has invited him to play at any house. As for not contacting once every two or three months.
As long as you don't know Li Yaoyao very well, even if other people suspect him, you won't be able to expose him on the spot. Moreover, according to Li Yaoyao's background, she might not be able to enter the friendship circle of Miss Zhu's family.
Ladies of noble birth would not be able to remember what the daughter of a sixth-rank petty official family looked like.
Mu Ting said: "Don't worry, it's fine." Even if he really recognized it, it doesn't matter, he can also take the opportunity to counter Mu Qiu.
Qi Zhan thought for a while and said, "Then if something goes wrong for a while, we'll go home right away."
The corner of Mu Ting's mouth rose, "Okay."
……
Zhu Yun's 15th birthday today, because she is a junior, invited her peers of the same age, the pomp at the door was not big, there were only two servants and maids, one was in charge of entertaining at the door, and the other was in charge of leading the way.
After entering the door, Qi Zhan and Mu Ting were about to separate. Mu Ting went to the female guest's side and was entertained by Miss Zhu's family.Qi Zhan went to the male guest's side and was entertained by Zhu Yun's brothers.
Holding the gift, Mu Ting walked all the way to the courtyard where Zhu Yun entertained guests. The maid introduced her identity, and Zhu Yun greeted her enthusiastically soon, and called her sister-in-law.
Mu Ting handed her the gift, "I wish my sister a happy birthday, more and more beautiful."
Many people had already come in front of Mu Ting, and he heard a cold snort just as he handed out the gift.
Mu Ting heard the sound and looked, and saw a young girl in red, with her chin raised, she had the most noble and glamorous expression of a girl, but the disdain in her eyes was shining brightly.
Bai Ling behind Mu Ting whispered, "That's a girl from the household servant's right servant's family, her name is Yu Ling. She has a sister who entered the palace and became a concubine. It is said that she is very favored."
Mu Ting nodded slightly, but didn't take it seriously.
Zhu Yun received the gift here, but before she could speak, another voice rang out, "I don't know what valuable and good thing Mrs. Qi Sanshao gave today, can we sisters have the honor to take a look?"
Coupled with that tone of voice, it's really a bit too yin and yang.
Mu Ting's face remained unchanged, "Who is this girl?"
The woman who spoke froze for a moment, and felt a little annoyed at being humiliated in disbelief.
There were other people around who didn't give face, they just laughed out loud, which made the woman's complexion even uglier.
The little girl Zhu Yun mouthed Mu Ting's cousin, and then stretched out her finger to make a two.
Mu Ting realized that this was Qi Zhan's second cuckold, but Mu Ting forgot about it, and did not expect this to happen.
After knowing the other party's identity, Mu Ting didn't plan to talk to her anymore. This is obviously a girl with a bad mind, so don't take it to heart.
Mu Ting's lack of face, coupled with the eyes of other people around her, made Lin Xuan'er feel extremely embarrassed, she gave Mu Ting a hard look, and said: "A daughter of a sixth-rank official is only worthy of pick I don't want this girl, a dude like Qi San will never be successful in his life, let's see how long you can do it."
This is beyond words, Mu Ting collected his expression, and said: "My husband is very good, thank you for your success, and I also wish you and your sweetheart will get married soon."
Laughing again, Lin Xuan'er's face flushed red, and her eyes stared at Mu Ting even wider, after all, Mu Ting's words really touched Lin Xuan'er's heart.
Her cousin pretended to be a bandit to snatch her relatives in the street. This incident really slapped the Qi family in the face. Qi's father is not a vegetarian, so he directly participated in it. Lin Xuaner's cousin who pretended to be a bandit was assigned by the current emperor. I went to be a real bandit, and gave it to a cottage where there were bandits before, so that only the bandits who had been on the mountain for three years could return to Beijing.
As a bandit, he naturally has no one to provide food and clothing, and he relies on himself to rob everything, but if he really dares to rob, he will probably move in a blink of an eye, and his family will not be able to escape.
Cousin has gone to become a bandit, Lin Xuan'er who was robbed of her marriage is naturally impossible to marry, and others will not marry a woman who elopes with others in the street,
