Painting Tang

"I believe sir to be a man of measure."

Yu Tang smiled quietly.He has been extremely lethargic these past few days, and Mu Jingchen watched him so tightly that he wouldn't let him get out of bed, so he drowsy from dawn to dusk again.

"I'm afraid that you will be bored in the next few days, so I have prepared a set of painting tools for you. You can draw casually when you are free, and I will teach you carefully when I come back at night."

Mu Jingchen knew that Yu Tang was interested in painting besides eating, but he had to avoid eating when he was injured, and he had to keep his mouth shut for the time being.

Yu Tang nodded, and took a small spoonful of crystal clear jade-colored tea jelly and fed it to Mu Jingchen's mouth.

Mu Jingchen tasted the tea, which was frozen and thawed, and the taste was thick, neither astringent nor sweet, so he asked someone to send a box to Old General Mu and his wife's house, lest they scold him for forgetting his parents when he had Yutang little bunny.

The general and his wife still lived in the old-fashioned courtyard, separated from Mu Jingchen's bungalow by more than half the house. After the sun went down, the couple were sitting by the lotus pond to enjoy the coolness. Mu Huaiyi took the tea jelly from Zhou Yu Pretending to be disgusted,

"Little bastard, he will eat some strange things all day long, and he is not afraid that the young master will not be able to lead soldiers one day after he gets used to life."

After he finished speaking, he paused, and glanced at Zhou Wei who was sitting at the stone table in a daze. In the past, Zhou Wei would have started bickering with him.

"Is your lady in a bad mood today?"

Mu Huaiyi put down the tea jelly in his hand and put his hands on his back, "Did you lose the card game with those people in Huaizhou? Or who is bold enough to make you uncomfortable? See if I don't teach him a lesson!"

"You are half buried in the ground, why are you still alive and kicking like Chen'er?"

Zhou Wei came back to his senses, sighed slowly,

"I was thinking about Yu Tang... Someone asked at the poker table today, so I said a few words. The gossip women saw that I was facing Yu Tang, and they spoke respectfully and praised our family for being open and tolerant. But what about the eyes? Who can't see the meaning of contempt? They didn't regard Yu Tang as a person from the bottom of their hearts, they only thought that he was the little actress that Jing Chen liked, not to mention whether we Jing Chen is such a person, They, why do they look down on us Yutang? There are people who secretly come to me after dinner and try to introduce marriage to Jingchen! Do they not understand human language?"

The more Zhou Wei talked, the more angry she became, and she slammed the tea saucer on the stone table,

"And my third cousin, who actually bribed the guy to take her son to Jingchen's room, if Jingchen hadn't told him to take care of it... I would have beaten them so much that they wouldn't dare to step into the valley for the rest of their lives. Come!"

"They are all boudoir women who haven't read much, and their vision is short. What's your relationship with them?"

Mu Huaiyi comforted Zhou Luo and said,

"If Ma'am is really angry, we will close the door on the Zhou family in Huaizhou from now on. If it doesn't work, let's get engaged to the two children first, and let the red firecrackers run around Yulin, so that everyone in the city will know about us." The little bastard is a man with a master, let's see who dares to say goodbye."

"You'll kill people,"

Zhou Wei imagined a scene of red firecrackers bombing around Yulin City, and was finally amused by Mu Huaiyi,

"It doesn't matter anything else, I'm just afraid that Yu Tang will feel uncomfortable when he hears those words. After all, the Zhou family is related to us. If those words that hurt him reach his ears, this child thinks that we have something against him. But what should I do? Alas..."

Mu Huaiyi was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and suggested:

"In a few days, I will go to Banruo Temple to pray for the [-]th Lantern Festival. Would you like to let that child Yu Tang go with me?"

The Mu family is a family of military generals. Although the two generations are not as bloody as their ancestors, they still have the habit of going to the temple every year to ask for lamps and pray for blessings.

Zhou Wei knew that Mu Huaiyi wanted to take this opportunity to show Yu Tang's face, so that others would know how much they valued Yu Tang.

"It's a good idea...but Xiaoyu's injury is still not healed, and I don't know if Chen'er is willing to let him go out. When I go to see Xiaoyu tomorrow, I will ask him if he wants to go."

"A small gash—there are more than a dozen such long gashs on my body!"

Mu Huaiyi loves to despise the current juniors who can't bear hardships, so she was screwed hard by Zhou Yu,

"You rough old man can compare with others?"

"I was so handsome when I was young!"

Mu Huaiyi snorted coldly. The couple finished their snacks and watched the night darken. They strolled to the room one after the other. Zhou Wei was thinking about whether to stew red dates, donkey-hide gelatin or lotus seeds and white fungus for Yutang tomorrow. Huai Yi murmured in a low voice,

"Why do I feel that child Yu Tang seems to be afraid of me?"

"I blame you for pretending to be profound every day and insisting on putting on airs,"

Zhou Wei laughed at him and said, "But don't tell me, the more I look at Xiao Yu, the more I feel that he is kind. Is this called having eyes?"

Early the next morning, Mu Huaiyi and Zhou Wei discussed the travel plan for Banruo Temple that became more feasible after a night of discussion, but Mu Jingchen flatly denied it. The old couple looked at each other for a long time without choking out a word.

"Your hands are careless, I don't feel at ease handing over Yutang to you, even for half a day."

"Can I eat him raw or lose it?!"

Mu Huaiyi choked down his throat with a sip of old tea, and Zhou Wei quickly patted his back for him. It was rare for her to stand side by side with Old General Mu, and she also persuaded Mu Jingchen,

"Your father also wants to pave the way for Xiaoyu, help him suppress some rumors, and let Xiaoyu know that we like him. If you are really worried, you can wait outside the Banruo Temple. They go in and offer a lamp for only 10 minute."

The Mu family has ancestral precepts, Mu Jingchen has just returned from suppressing the bandits for less than three years, and he is too bloody to enter the temple to offer lamps, and Zhou Wei has never believed in these things, and has always kept him at a respectful distance, so he can only let Mu Huaiyi went to the temple alone to pray.

Mu Jingchen knew that this was the kindness of his parents, but also worried that Yutang could not accept being alone with Mu Huaiyi, so after thinking for a while, he decided to give Yutang the right to choose.

He didn't expect Yu Tang to agree to this without thinking.

"You don't have to worry about blowing their favor. Your comfort is the most important thing in everything."

Mu Jingchen confirmed with Yu Tang again, but Yu Tang smiled lightly,

"Before I was afraid of the old general because he thought he was too serious... These days, your family treats me so well and takes care of me. I can't be a white-eyed wolf, and I also want to offer a lamp for Yu Mian."

Yu Tang's face was calm, showing no flaws. After hesitating for a while, Mu Jingchen still chose to respect his decision, and immediately began to arrange a trip to Banruo Temple in three days' time

Yu Tang laughed at him for making a fuss out of a molehill, but her heart was also pounding.It's not that he has overcome his physical fear of Mu Huaiyi, it's just that he has to confirm with Mu Huaiyi... People who believe in Buddhism will not lie before the Buddha. He wants to see Mu Huaiyi's character clearly. great opportunity.

The day after Banruo Temple prayed for blessings was the fifteenth day of the lunar month. According to the custom of Yulin, there will be a hundred lantern festivals. The Mu family has already been busy quietly. Mu Huaiyi's coral was moved away and beaten by Mu Jingchen happily. A pair of bracelets and a pair of earrings are going to be given to Zhou Yu and Yu Tang respectively. Apart from arranging the lantern festival, there is another big event that is being secretly prepared.

Mu Jingchen looked at the pair of shiny rings hidden in the drawer, and the corner of his mouth never dropped.

"Brother, can you stop laughing so wildly?"

Zhen Hui really couldn't stand it.

"Let me tell you something important. Today Lin Yue sent a big gift, which is said to be for Zhou Yuhui's birthday... I haven't seen him pay attention to Zhou Yuhui before, and our family didn't plan to hold a banquet when something like this happened today. , What does he mean by giving this gift?"

"Has anyone checked out the box?"

Mu Jingchen frowned when he heard the sound, locked the drawer and suppressed his smile, he was worried that he couldn't catch Lin Yue.

"I checked. It's a Paraiba necklace and a few boxes of balm. It's nothing special. It's hard for us to confiscate the birthday gift. After inspection, it will be sent to Zhou Yuhui's room."

"He won't be stupid enough to do this, Bilin will send more people to watch over there."

Mu Jingchen thought for a while, and then added, "There's also Yu Mian, don't let anyone have contact with him without my permission."

"no problem."

Zhen Hui nodded, he was sent to guard Yu Mian these days, and he didn't have a chance to see the beautiful sister-in-law.Speaking of which, Yu Mian even asked him about the date today, so he probably wouldn't do anything... However, even if Yu Mian wanted to take any action in that attic, she could only be trapped in it without making any big waves.
