Chapter 41

"If I don't assess, who will know that I am good at studying? They all know so they don't dare to bully me, and I can protect you."

Mu Chenxi observed Zhao Huan's expression: "Daughter-in-law, you worked so hard to send me to study, I must study well Only by studying can I be worthy of you being so kind to me."

"Daughter-in-law, you are not angry with me, are you?" Mu Chenxi looked at Zhao Huan eagerly, waiting for him to say something.

"No, I think what you said makes sense. I didn't think of this. I want to thank Chen Xi for bringing it up." Zhao Huan said softly. He reached out and patted Mu Chenxi's arm, "I know Chen Xi won't do bad things. So you should never worry that I will be angry with you."

Zhao Huan was moved in his heart. Mu Chenxi was always thinking about herself. If she paid so much attention to him, why would she be angry with him?

"Yes, I know."

Mu Chenxi had long felt that Zhao Huan was not angry with him, but just wanted a word of affirmation. He said happily: "The mountain chief smiled cheerfully when we entered, and when he saw us, his face turned pale. Who is showing his face?"

Mu Chenxi was unconvinced and said: "He is a great Confucian, and his mind and kindness are also Not as good as the teacher, not even as good as Amber. I don't want to offend him and I don't like him."

"So?" Zhao Huan asked with a raised eyebrow. He felt that Mu Chenxi was speaking strangely at that time, but now it seems. It was really intentional.

"When I didn't go in, I wanted to praise him a lot, so that he wouldn't be angry about what I said a few days ago."

Mu Chenxi's eyebrows were crooked and she was smiling like a petty kitten, and the corners of her mouth were raised high in a tone of voice. He said with joy: "I originally wanted to say that he is handsome, graceful, gentle, wise and unprecedented. There is no one before or after him."

"Hahaha."

Zhao Huan laughed happily after hearing this, and he said how could Mu Chenxi Appearing on the mountain leader, the features are delicate and delicate. It makes an old man think so weirdly when he describes him like this.

"Hehe." Seeing that he was happy, Mu Chenxi also giggled, "I'm praising him. Even if you don't like it, you can't be angry."

"Even if you are angry, it's not my problem. It's because he is stingy and everyone else is watching." He spread his hands with a look of helplessness, his clear and moist eyes were full of smiles but he shook his head and sighed, "The mountain chief really needs to learn from other masters to be tolerant, otherwise he will go crazy in the long run."

"Pfft, Hahaha."

Zhao Huan became more and more overjoyed. This was the happiest day since he came to ancient times. "Chenxi, you are so cute, so cute, hahaha."

Now he wanted to hold Mu Chenxi in his arms. Give it a good rub and even kiss it a few more times. It's such a cute little clever thing.

In particular, his tone was soft and helpless, but his expression was triumphant, his eyes were shining with excitement and cunning, and he was shaking his head like an elder showing unreasonable tolerance and love to a naughty child.

"Daughter-in-law, your smile is so beautiful." Mu Chenxi tilted her head and looked at him infatuatedly, "I love my wife's smile. It's beautiful, warm and happy."

"Ahem."

Zhao Huan: Who can tell him, Mu What does this boy Chen Xi mean? Why did the painting style suddenly change? Is this a confession, a confession?

"Okay, brother and the others are here." Zhao Huan pushed him in a concealed manner and pointed at Mu Chenhui and Father Zhang in the distance.

With Mu Chenxi's current IQ, Zhao Huan felt that he was overthinking. Now that life is easy and comfortable, he just wants to enjoy it, and all other thoughts are just mediocre.

"You came back so soon?" Mu Chenhui was a little surprised to see them already sitting in the car.

"I just want to meet the head of the mountain, nothing else." Zhao Huan said with a smile. Seeing the happy faces on their faces, he knew that everything was going well. "It's not like you have to help with the resettlement. It will naturally take a long time."

"Uncle Zhang, come on quickly . Car." Mu Chenxi greeted Mr. Zhang.

"Hey, thank you Mu Juren." Father Zhang thanked him and got in the car. He was so happy today. He never dreamed that his son could enter the academy, but they couldn't afford it.

"Brother, you sit in the back and I'll drive the car." Mu Chenhui picked up the whip and said to Zhao Huan.

"Okay."

"Daughter-in-law, please slow down." Mu Chenxi reached out to help him.

"My boss and Mu Ju have a really good relationship. They are both good people." Seeing them getting along, Father Zhang couldn't help but sigh: "It really matches that sentence. It's not like one family doesn't come into the same family."

"Of course we are a family. Mu Chenxi had a better impression of Father Zhang because of these words, "My wife is the best, no one can compare with her."

He turned to Mu Chenhui again and said, "Isn't that the eldest brother?" I heard a noise coming from your house last night. My wife and I never quarrel. "

Mu Chenhui: I don't want to argue, but it's just too shameful. But why did he say this to Mu Chenxi? He has no face at all. No.

"Alas!" Mu Chenhui said helplessly: "You are right, our Chenxi is destined to have a good life. It will be better to have my brother-in-law here for the rest of our lives."

He gradually got farther and farther away from the academy. Mu Chenhui was in a bad mood and kept thinking. Don't talk while driving. Father Zhang had nothing to say and just sat aside.

Only Mu Chenxi kept talking, and Zhao Huan responded from the side. He didn't know why Mu Chenxi talked so much. Even if he saw a wild flower or a piece of grass on the road, he could talk for a while.

"Oh, by the way." Mu Chenxi suddenly said something, attracting all the attention of everyone in the car, "Daughter-in-law, I won't be at home during the day from now on. You can't let others bully you. If you have anything, you must tell me."

"Also." He looked at Mu Chenhui and said, "Tell your wife, don't have any ideas about my wife. If you dare to bully my wife while I'm not at home, don't blame me for being rude."

Mu Chenxi suddenly remembered last night . When he heard what he said, he was afraid that Zhao Huan would be bullied at home, so he directly warned Mu Chenhui, "I know you guys don't know how to do it, brother, but she is your wife, and you can't favor her."

"No, definitely not." Mu Chenhui was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. He didn't expect that Mu Chenxi would hear his quarrel with his wife.

"Don't worry, third brother, I won't let Jingxing study, and I won't let her influence your ideas. Absolutely not." Mu Chenhui promised firmly.

"That's good." Mu Chenxi shook his head and sighed, "My daughter-in-law said that every family has difficult things to recite. She asked me not to talk about it. This is my eldest brother's housework. I can't interfere with it, but I can't do it either. Seeing my daughter-in-law being bullied but not saying anything!"

"No, it won't happen." Mu Chenhui felt even more shameless and could only guarantee her.

"It's hard for you." Mu Chenxi winked at Zhao Huan, with a smile in his eyes, and said to his eldest brother, and patted him on the shoulder to show comfort.

Zhao Huan didn't expect that he would suddenly remember this and say it in front of everyone. Seeing that Mu Chenhui was ashamed and embarrassed, he couldn't help but reached out and tapped Mu Chenxi a few times to tell him to stop talking.

"Hehe." Mu Chenxi lowered his head and walked to the door for Zhao Huan to order. "Didn't you say we should nip everything in the bud? I told my eldest brother first so that you would not be wronged in the future."

"You two brothers have such a good relationship . , Mu Ju people don't have to worry too much." Father Zhang didn't want to interrupt, but thinking of their husband's kindness, he said this as a defense and as a reminder to Mu Chenhui.

Zhang Cheng didn't talk much about Zhao Huan and the others when he got home. He knew that the shop was opened by his wife and Mu Chenhui and the others worked here.

The husband and wife gave all the harvest from the fields to the family and helped their brothers with so much effort. If they were still ignorant and caused trouble, it would be very sorry for Zhao Huan and the others.

Mu Chenhui couldn't say a word now. His brother had already heard it, so what else could he explain. Mu Chenxi knew, which meant that Zhao Huan also knew. He knew that Mu Chenxi would not hide Zhao Huan.

He doesn't know what to say about his daughter-in-law now. If you don't go through it, you may not be able to fully understand her, even if you are sleeping with her.

Yesterday, he asked his wife for money to give to his son to repair, but his wife said that the money should come from the family.

Mu Chenxi has been studying for so many years and has been supported by his family. Why should he have to bear the burden when he comes to their place? Jingxing is still the eldest son and grandson of Mu Chenxi.

He also said that Zhao Huan earned so much money, so he had to help his family. They had no descendants, and the family property would be inherited by the Mu family in the future. Jing Xing, as the eldest grandson, had this right.

He was really shocked when he heard those words. He didn't expect that his wife would even think about this. Unfortunately, he was afraid that she would know about Zhao Huan's handing over the farm income to the family, and he would not dare to tell her about it.

Unexpectedly, she thought more and further, and became more shameless and did not want that face. He didn't know how she could say those words or think so much.

The more he thought about Mu Chenhui, the more irritated he became. He was afraid that everyone would not stop making noise last night, so he temporarily tolerated the quarrel after a few words. However, he did not expect that Mu Chenxi would hear it and point it out today.

He couldn't say these words, but his wife was confident. He originally didn't want to tell his family that he was too embarrassed to hold his head up, but now the situation was impossible and he had to slowly think of a way to solve it.

.........

"Father, mother." Mu Chenhui and Mu Chenchu ​​finished dinner and went to the main room to discuss things.

Mu's father couldn't help but sneer after hearing what Mu Chenhui said about Liu's words: "Jing Xing Shuxiu, you asked us to borrow money, and you even went to your uncle's house. I knew there was something wrong with this."

Mu Chenhui and the others had in their hands Mu's father knew exactly how much it was. Since he and Mu Chenchu ​​lent him money, and Mu Chenhui had enough in his own hands, there was no reason to borrow money elsewhere.

"I didn't want my brother-in-law and the others to know about this, so I didn't forcefully take the money from her. Now that Chenxi and the others are living in the town, these matters can be dealt with."

Mu Chenhui was worried. If these words were spread, what would happen to him in the future? How to meet people. I feel even more guilty for Zhao Huan and Mu Chenxi. After receiving a lot of help from them, they are now plotting against their deaths. This is so shameless.

"Call your wives here. We need to explain some things clearly in person. Don't always worry about other people's property. If you don't support your own parents, then don't have children."

Mu's father was so angry that his face was livid. He only guarded against these things. The sudden separation of the family caught everyone off guard and they were all unprepared. Now everyone is living their own lives and still having sweet dreams.

"Actually, Mrs. Liu is right. If you care about their affairs behind their backs, you won't get the family property." Before Mu's mother could finish her words, she was startled by Mu's father's voice.

"Shut up."

Mu's father glared at her, furious. If she hadn't always been so strong and wanted to overpower Zhao Huan, but instead stepped forward to defend Mu Chenxi and the others, who would have dared to make such blatant decisions.

Mu's mother should be in charge of her daughter-in-law and these household matters. Just because of some of her actions, some people are bold enough to think about unrealistic things.

"That's what they should do. To accept the death of an elder, you must have family property. If you don't have it, just sit back and ignore it?"

Mu's father looked disappointed and looked at Mu's mother and said: "You must have a strong character. Everything must go through you. It's nothing. But you can't have a crooked heart or be biased. Even if you can't settle a bowl of water, you can't let anyone be wronged. "

" Alas!" Dad Mu didn't bother to tell her the truth many times. Can't listen. People's hearts are not bad, but things are becoming more and more unclear. That's why it's difficult to handle.

"Find your wife, I have something to say." Mu's father waved his hands to his two sons and asked them to go out.

"You! You're not evil, but your words and actions are getting more and more outrageous." Mu's father looked at Mu's mother and saw her sitting aside sulking, "Even with this statement, they can't allow them to decide on Chen Xi and the others now. First of all, is this fair to Chen Xi and the others?

"Just because you have no children or grandchildren, you have to support them and earn money for them. How can this be done to you?"

"I just said that, not all elders are like this." Mu's mother glared at Mu's father angrily, "I didn't say that it should be like this now, I just reminded you that what Liu said is right, she just shouldn't make up her mind now. "

But look at her beating her now. Her son doesn't want to confess, so he deserves to be his mother." Mu's father's eyes turned gloomy, and he told Mu's mother, "No matter what Liu and the others say in front of you, it doesn't matter what they say about Chen Xi and the others." You don't have to say much, let alone agree to anything. The family has already separated. Even if Chenxi and the others throw away the shop, it won't be their turn.

"I know, they don't dare to tell me this." Mu Mu hesitated. He said with some uncertainty: "Two days ago, I heard something in a trance, saying that we have provided Chen Xi with so many years of education, and we should also provide for other descendants. I didn't take this seriously at the time. What else can we provide after the family has been separated? "These are their parents' business."

"Some people are jealous of their children's money. They want to make fun of our Mu family." Dad Mu shook his head and smiled disdainfully.

He would never allow this, otherwise there would be no point in dividing the family. He would not let the children and grandchildren of the family have the idea of ​​getting something for nothing, let alone let others see the Mu family rebelling.

Chapter 42

"Father, mother."

Mu Chenhui and Mu Chenchu ​​came in. Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Wang stood aside, wondering what the reason was for suddenly asking them to come to the main room.

"Sit down." Dad Mu looked at them and asked them all to sit down.

"I came to see you today. I have something to say." Mu's father looked at Liu and Wang, his expressions were calm as if nothing had happened.

"We have separated our families and live our own lives. Logically speaking, I shouldn't interfere with your affairs, but today this matter concerns the entire Mu family, so I will talk about it and set the rules from now on."

Dad Mu took a puff of dry cigarette. , thought for a while and said: "Mr. Chen Xi sees your children growing up, and wants to help you to provide for your children's education. Leave the income from the fields to me to manage, and give some subsidies to each child of the Mu family who is studying."

"But. After all, they are not their descendants. These should be the support of your parents. Just like Chenxi, I am the father and I have not asked your uncle, third uncle, and grandma for any help, so I will not help you too much. If a child studies, he will receive five taels of silver per year, and if he does not study, he will get nothing. You, the parents, will be responsible for the rest."

He looked at Mu Chenhui and said, "Jing Xing Shuxiu only gets eight taels of silver, you. If you don't have enough money, you can deduct it from next year's subsidy."

"Also, it is our custom here that the nephew will take over the affairs after his death, but he must also designate who is responsible according to his own wishes. Who is willing to take responsibility? It depends on both parties' mutual consent. These are not things that anyone thinks about or doesn't want."

"Alas!" Dad Mu sighed, "Chenxi and the others are destined to have no heirs. I don't want you to be in trouble in the future when I separate the family. I have told the clan leader and the elders that when I grow old, I will remove Chen Xi and others from the family tree and let them establish another branch that will have nothing to do with you, so that you will not have to take responsibility for what happened after their death."

Mu Dad looked at Liu . Shi and Wang all raised their heads to look at him, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief. Even Mu Chenhui and the others looked at a loss.

He felt better. He didn't tell anyone what he had done. If it wasn't to dispel Liu's and the others' delusions, he wouldn't want to say it now.

Do you all think he is old and confused? He had planned all these twists and turns early, but he still had some expectations. Don't do things too badly, and he had to take care of Mu Chenhui and the others' face no matter what.

But some things must be prepared for a rainy day. The two sons have no other thoughts now, but as the children grow up and the daughter-in-law has various little thoughts, it is inevitable that they will not be shaken and do things that hurt the brotherhood.

He didn't want to see this kind of thing even to death, so he told the clan that after he left, even with Mu's mother, he would move Mu Chenxi and the others out of the family tree and establish a separate branch from them. No one would be able to On top of them.

"Old man, how could you do this? How will their brothers get along with each other in the future?" Mu's mother was so surprised that she couldn't shut up and scolded Mu's father dissatisfied.

"We can get along with each other as we should. If we don't want to get along with each other, just break it off." Dad Mu said with a smile. He looked at Mu Chenhui and Mu Chenchu, "If their brothers have intentions, even if they break their bones and still have their tendons connected, why?" We won't break up the relationship as we move out of the family tree."

"No." Mu Chenhui woke up from the shock and confusion. He looked at Mu Dad and assured, "Dad, we understand what you mean. Don't worry, it won't happen. "It's okay to break up the brotherhood,"

Mu Chenchu ​​said with a smile. He was smarter than Mu Chenhui, and he naturally understood what Mu's father meant. He was afraid that his brothers would turn against each other after he was gone. , "Dad's arrangement makes everyone worry-free. You can do whatever you have to do in the future. You don't have to worry about things that don't belong to you."

"Yeah, just understand." Dad Mu nodded happily. He knew that they understood what his two sons said. , "If you don't do well in the future, you probably won't have the shame to ask for the care given by Chen Xi and the others. If they want to take back the income from the fields and the tax exemption and exemption from corvee, there is no need to complain."

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Wang looked ugly. Especially for Liu, all her expectations came to nothing. She didn't expect that Dad Mu could do this, and he had even been prepared for it.

She has always thought that her mother-in-law has the final say in the family, but now it seems that she still doesn't understand. Since the last separation, the mother-in-law, who has always been strong, has no room for opposition. Under the restraint of Mu's father, she did not cause trouble for Zhao Huan, who was not welcome to see her.

It can be seen from this that she has been miscalculating all these years since she was married. I saw other people's daughters-in-law being beaten, scolded and treated harshly, but this had never happened to their family.

She thought her strong mother-in-law was kind-hearted, but she didn't expect that Dad Mu, who had been silent all this time, was the one in charge of the overall situation of the family.

Being able to unknowingly make people unprepared and arrange everything so that when you are at your wits' end and still save you face at every turn is something a mother-in-law can never do.

.........

"Let's go."

Today is Mu Chenxi's first day at the academy. Zhao Huan got up in the morning and cooked a meal for him, then packed up and prepared to leave.

Turning around, Zhao Huan was stunned on the spot. Mu Chenxi was holding a small rattan portable bookcase he made in his left hand, a cloth bag slung on the right side of his body, and a folding fan in his right hand.

His face is as beautiful as jade, his smile is as bright as the sun, his eyes are like stars, his cheeks are as red as clouds, and his demeanor is elegant and gentle. Who would have thought that this is a young man with dementia!

Zhao Huan sighed in his heart without showing it on his face, "The morning sun is so beautiful!" He stretched out his thumb and gave him a thumbs up.

Zhao Huan asked a tailor to make the cloth bag to imitate a modern shoulder bag. The portable rattan bookcase is also a combination of modern handbags and luggage. It is like a small box with a beam, which is very convenient to carry around.

When he started doing it, he only thought about convenience. Unexpectedly, Mu Chenxi's outfit gave him a bit of elegance, like a romantic student on an outing.

"My wife made it all for me." After hearing his praise, Mu Chenxi immediately showed a big smile, with an innocent look on her face, "My wife is the best, treats me the best, and I am the most, most, most, most. I like my daughter-in-law."

He said with pride and nostalgia, "Daughter-in-law, I don't want to go to the academy. I want to stay with you at home, but I have to work hard to become stronger!"

"Okay, I will punish you if you delay again." He was the most confused by his meal. Where did Mu Chenxi learn the words in his mouth? Why did they touch people's hearts?

Now that I hear that he is nostalgic, I feel reluctant to let go, but for the sake of the future, I can only turn my head and walk out.

At the entrance of the academy, Zhao Huan felt so distressed when he saw Mu Chenxi turning around three times and walking into the academy reluctantly that he almost turned into a doting parent and took Mu Chenxi back.

Since the second day of ancient times, Mu Chenxi has been with her and has never been separated. Now I just feel empty in my heart, as if a corner is missing.

I returned to Mu Yixuan with a depressed mood. There was still something to do today. I have been busy with Mu Chenxi these days, and the supply of ornaments in the shop will soon be insufficient.

He no longer has the energy for the high-end exquisite products in the East District, so he can only put out some sample pictures for customers to choose and customize, and fully complement the ordinary ornaments in the West District.

Mu Chenhui and the others no longer had time to learn carving, so they all helped him with the pre- and post-production work. He only started carving and shaping, which made the division of labor much faster.

"My boss, the apprentice we hired is here." Shopkeeper Mu came to find Zhao Huan and asked him to do the so-called interview and then sign the contract.

"Yes." Zhao Huan put down the carving knife, stretched and stretched his muscles, and walked out of his studio.

There were ten teenagers standing outside. He originally wanted to recruit five or six, but Mu Chenhui and the others advised him to recruit more, so that through more training, he would have a greater chance of discovering talented people.

Zhao Huan didn't care too much about this. He thought it wouldn't hurt to recruit a few more people, so he just let them do what they wanted. It was also a good thing to find talented people, so he could feel more relaxed in the future.

He looked around and couldn't tell whether they had any talent, but everyone was a decent person. Whether they are the young people in their twenties or the teenagers of fifteen or sixteen, they are all simple and honest.

As long as people are honest and responsible, Zhao Huan will recognize it. He doesn't want to deal with those people with evil intentions all day long. No matter how serious he is in his studies and his attitude is good, he is not willing to stay.

"Yes, they are all from our clan?" Zhao Huan asked Mu Chenxing.

"Two of them are not." Mu Chenxing pointed to a young man and a teenager. "They are from our village. They are honest and capable people and are relatively reliable."

"Okay, let's sign the contract." Zhao Huan said, he Look at these people, "Apprentices also have a probation period. We will decide whether you stay after one month. In addition, apprentices are not as good as working people, so the wages are less. The probation period is three hundred coins a month, and one month after the probation period Five hundred coins are all for lunch. If you think it's okay, go and sign a contract with Shopkeeper Mu."

"Will you pay me back?" a young man asked happily.

"Shut up." Mu Chenxing raised his leg and kicked him, "No one else is talking, but you are the only one who has more to do."

Mu Chenxing assumed the posture of a shopkeeper and taught him a lesson, "Remember this from now on, you have to call the boss first. You can only speak if you are allowed to speak, you know?"

"I understand, brother," Mu Chenrui said wilfully.

"Don't call me brother, call me shopkeeper."

Zhao Huan saw him setting the rules and didn't stop him. It's best to let them know some things as early as possible, so that you can follow the rules in the future without any trouble.

It's just that the poor uncle's youngest son was treated as a first-rate scolding by the eldest brother, Shopkeeper Mu, and he took advantage of the situation to show to others that he treated everyone equally and didn't need to say anything humane to him.

.........

Mu Chenxi watched Zhao Huan drive away in the academy, feeling equally depressed. Seeing his cute and aggrieved look, Amber smiled and said, "I came to pick you up in the evening. It only took one day. Like other students, they all live in the academy. Look how lucky you are. You can go home to spend the evening with your wife." "Yes! "

Mu Chenxi's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, "I'm so lucky. I want to study hard to make my wife happy." "That's it, let

's go."

He said, "The master is waiting inside. You go in. I will pick you up for dinner at noon. I will also clean up a room for you so you can rest at noon." "

No need." Mu Chenxi shook her head and refused, "My wife said , You must be self-reliant and have the ability to be independent. I will go to the cafeteria to eat. If anything happens, I will go to Amber."

"Can you do it by yourself?" Amber was a little worried, although he knew that it was a good thing for him to learn to be independent. This is what he and Jiang Haohai were thinking, "How about if you become independent again in a few days, Amber will come to pick you up today?"

"No, we will do the work today." Mu Chenxi smiled and waved to Amber, "I'll go in first. Come on, Amber. My wife won't let me do anything special, saying it will have a

negative impact on the teacher and Amber. Go."

He told Mu Chenxi that the cafeteria is not far from here and is very convenient, just around the corner. He also told him where he lived, and if he couldn't find it, just ask. Any master or servant would know it.

"Okay, I understand."

Mu Chenxi saw Jiang Haohai sitting in front of him and bowed: "Master."

"Yes." Jiang Haohai nodded and pointed to the first row in front of him, "Sit here."

Mu Chenxi went over and sat down obediently, not seeing the corners of Jiang Haohai's mouth twitching. Zhao Huan was so afraid that Mu Chenxi would be wronged, so he brought all the food and drinks with him, in such a special way.

As soon as he looked at Mu Chenxi's satchel and delicate bamboo cup, he knew what was in them. The academy is not a land of wild beasts, so who can really treat Mu Chenxi so harshly? Jiang Haohai shook his head and laughed secretly in his heart.

Not far away, a student saw Mu Chenxi and his eyes widened immediately: Why did he come here? Wasn't he already a candidate? Moreover, can he still study if he is not normal now?

Chapter 43

"Mu Juren."

Wang Qingquan finally found an opportunity when Mu Chenxi went to the cafeteria at noon, and walked up to talk to him, "Why did you come to the academy?"

Mu Chenxi turned his head and couldn't help but reveal a smile. He was indeed stupid. These words You can ask.

"Why did you come to the academy?" he asked back.

"Reading." Wang Qingquan said subconsciously.

"Yeah, not bad." Mu Chenxi nodded, turned around and left. He had to prepare food and had no time to talk to him stupidly about such boring things.

"Hey." Wang Qingquan wanted to stop him, but Li Shaojie pulled him back.

He really wanted to pretend that he didn't know him, it was so embarrassing. No wonder Mu Chenxi said he was stupid, he didn't even understand what he meant, and he was laughed at by Mu Chenxi again.

"What else is your name?" Li Shaojie said helplessly, "Coming to the academy isn't all about studying. It's a good thing you asked."

"Aren't I curious about what he came for?"

Wang Qingquan looked puzzled, "He is a judge. Are you studying with us scholars to take the exam again, or is there some other reason?"

"Does this have anything to do with you?" Li Shaojie glared at him, why didn't he see this before?

"Don't be too curious about other people's affairs. No matter what the reason is, it's a good thing to be able to study."

Li Shaojie quickened his pace. The food in the cafeteria was waiting for no one. "Let's go quickly. Don't lose the good food in a while."

Wang Qingquan still had a carefree attitude. , not caring about Li Shaojie's impatience at all, "It's really strange that the academy still accepts him like this, and he's still in Class A. What on earth is he capable of? It's not in line with the rules!"

"Yes!" Li Shaojie couldn't help but slow down and frowned. Thinking, "The most important thing is, does he still need to study? Unless he is better now and wants to take the imperial examination, there is no need to study with us." "

Huh." Wang Qingquan was equally confused and proud when facing him. He raised his chin and said, "You have to ask this yourself. Someone was impatient and angry with me just now!"

They were fooling around here, studying Mu Chenxi's affairs.

Mu Chenxi had already arrived at the canteen, and he looked around inside. The meals are divided into four levels, A, B, C and D.

In Grade A, you can choose your own dishes, mostly meat dishes, and the prices are more expensive, like in a restaurant where you have to pay for your ordering. Level B is a combination of two meat and vegetables, and costs thirty cents a portion. Level C: one meat and one vegetarian, twenty articles. Level D is the worst, with two vegetarian dishes and ten cents each.

Zhao Huan told him that he should eat both meat and vegetables and eat well without saving money, so that he would be in good health and have the energy to study hard.

So Mu Chenxi went directly to Grade A to get food. The aroma of the dishes was so tempting that he wanted to eat all the meat dishes, but he was afraid that Zhao Huan would be angry.

"Brother Mu."

Zhang Cheng brought Mu Jingxing over. He was asked by Mu Chenhui to go to the Enlightenment Yard to pick him up after he left the Children's Yard. When he went to look for Mu Chenxi, he was nowhere to be seen.

He hurried to the canteen and looked for Mu Chenxi everywhere. Fortunately, there were few people at the Class A window, so they found him quickly.

"Yeah!" Mu Chenxi's eyes lit up when he saw them, and he said happily: "I forgot that you guys are coming to eat too."

Mu Chenxi smiled happily. Now he can eat two meat dishes. Zhao Huan will not be surprised. Him, as long as he eats a few bites of the vegetarian food they serve.

"You guys go get food quickly. I'm almost in line here." He saw more and more students coming over and thought of Zhao Huan's instructions, "Let Jing Xing go and take a seat first. There will be less space in a while."

"Okay, Let's go over and take up space first." Zhang Cheng saw that most of the tables and chairs were already occupied, and hurriedly took Jing Xing to take up space.

"Jingxing, sit here and don't move. I'll go get some food."

"I understand." Mu Jingxing nodded in agreement.

"Uncle, I want elbow scallops and braised pork."

Mu Chenxi happily ordered after they left. After he ordered two, he was still greedy when looking at the other dishes. The uncle who was serving the dishes couldn't help but smile when he saw his appearance: "You won't be able to eat any more. Please order other dishes next time."

"No, uncle. " ."

Mu Chenxi thought of a solution in a blink of an eye, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter. "There are two more people here. It's my first time to invite them to dinner today. I need to order more dishes."

He happily ordered two more dishes. Just make more today, and he will ask for two dishes tomorrow.

It was the first time he had dinner alone with Zhang Cheng and the others, so he ordered more dishes no matter what. It was considered a banquet for him, and Zhao Huan would not blame him for wasting it.

"This is too much." Zhang Cheng came back with two orders of diced dishes and couldn't help but said when he saw the four meat dishes ordered by Mu Chenxi.

"Not much, not much."

Mu Chenxi smiled and said, "Today is our first time eating in the academy. I want to treat you to a good meal no matter what."

He looked at the two meals that Zhang Cheng brought back. Each of them had one. A bowl of brown rice, a side of stir-fried cabbage, and a side of potatoes and stuffed beans. There was no meaty taste, and it was just enough oil and water.

He knew in his heart that the food they could eat was better than that at home, and the food in the Mu family was not as good as this!

"Uncle Third, there's so much meat." Mu Jingxing's eyes widened and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Well, you can eat whatever you want. These are enough." Mu Chenxi said with a smile. He turned to Zhang Cheng and said, "There can't be any leftovers. My wife doesn't like waste. We have to finish them all today.

" How can I finish eating?" Zhang Cheng shook his head helplessly. He knew that Mu Chenxi must have wanted these dishes because of him and Mu Jingxing. He was grateful but also felt sorry for the money spent.

"Finish the meat and vegetables." Mu Chenxi put a slice of elbow meat into his mouth and narrowed his eyes with satisfaction, "It's delicious."

After Mu Chenxi moved his chopsticks, Jing Xing couldn't wait to eat. He rarely eats at home. I can eat meat, but I don't even have enough oil and water. Now I see these meat dishes and I can't even raise my head from eating them.

"Eat slowly." Zhang Cheng said to him.

Mu Chenhui asked him to take care of Jing Xing because he was afraid that if Mu Chenxi couldn't take care of him himself, how could he think about Jing Xing's affairs.

Zhang Cheng understood these things, so he was particularly concerned about them. At the same time, he also paid attention to Mu Chenxi's every move, and he felt that he should do this.

"Brothers, can we share a table?"

Mu Chenxi heard someone talking and turned around to see Liu Wenqing standing aside, "Huh? It's Brother Liu."

"Mu Juren!"

Liu Wenqing stared in surprise. Looking at him, he didn't expect to meet Mu Chenxi here.

"Come and sit down."

Mu Chenxi looked at him carrying the food, then looked around and saw that the canteen was full of people and there was no room left.

In ancient times, the rule of saying nothing during food and sleep was adhered to. Although there were many students, there was no sign of making any noise. Occasionally, if one or two close friends spoke, their voices would be kept very low, so that they would not affect other people.

Liu Wenqing sat down at their table, thanked Mu Chenxi and the others, and began to eat in silence.

Or Mu Chenxi asked him out of curiosity: "Which college is Brother Liu in? Let's play together if we have time."

"I'm in the children's college." The corner of Liu Wenqing's mouth twitched. Is the college a place for children to play?

"Is he a child, or has he just been promoted from the Enlightenment Academy?" Mu Chenxi asked.

Their academy is divided into three courtyards, one is the Enlightenment courtyard, which is for children who have just entered school. One is the Children's Academy, where there are students who can take the Tongsheng Examination, and there are also some students who have passed the Tongsheng Examination but have not yet passed the Scholarship Examination.

Then there is their Imperial Examination Yuan, or Ju Yuan for short, which is where some talented people go to study. They are all taught separately, and the classes are divided into four levels: A, B, C and D according to their grades.

"He's a Tongsheng, in Class B." Liu Wenqing blushed a little. He was still a Tongsheng at nineteen. Mu Chenxi was one year younger than him, but he was a candidate.

If it hadn't been for the accident in Rongdu, I might have already been a Jinshi by now, and I would be even further behind.

"Oh."

Mu Chenxi looked thoughtfully at Liu Wenqing's gradually reddening cheeks. He blinked slyly, looked at Zhang Cheng and said, "Brother Zhang is also in the children's hospital. He is in Class C. We all know each other and are friends. , Please come and visit often from now on."

"Brother Liu." When Mu Chenxi mentioned him, Zhang Cheng bowed his hand and greeted him.

He didn't have Liu Wenqing's idea of ​​​​relying on his own self-study to pass the Tongsheng test. He had nothing to be ashamed of.

Of course, he did not look down on Liu Wenqing. The imperial examination was a long and difficult road, and talent, perseverance, diligence and luck were all indispensable.

Mu Chenxi was eating happily, while Zhao Huan was a little confused about the food at home. He was wondering if Mu Chenxi could go to the canteen by herself and whether he was with Zhang Cheng and the others.

Had he met someone familiar, had someone bullied him? The more Zhao Huan thought about it, the more he couldn't bear to eat. He put down his job and sighed, then walked into the studio to sculpt, trying to calm himself down.

"Miss, Mu Yixuan has arrived."

Li Shiyun heard the driver say this in the carriage, and got out of the carriage with the help of the maid.

She looked at the facade of Muyixuan. It was elegant, simple, refined and majestic. Her first impression was not bad. She hoped that her visit this time was not in vain.

She came to choose a birthday gift for her aunt. This little aunt was pampered and had been held in the palm of her grandmother's hand since she was a child.

He has been very talented since he was a child, and has a very high vision. He doesn't like ordinary things, but only takes a high look at them if they are unique and rare.

She has a headache every year when choosing a gift for her little aunt. Fortunately, she saw someone taking a wooden sculpture not long ago. This was the first time she had seen it, and it was considered a rare thing.

This is why she traveled thousands of miles to the county town, using the excuse of visiting relatives to choose gifts secretly. If Mu Yixuan can really be unique, it will solve her urgent need.

"Please come in, young lady."

Mu Chenxing saw that Li Shiyun was unparalleled in beauty, graceful and elegant, and knew that she was not an ordinary young lady, so he hurriedly stepped forward to receive her in person.

"Hmm." Li Shiyun frowned and went to the place with many decorations in the West District. After looking around, she was extremely dissatisfied, "They are all vulgar decorations. Are there no good ones?"

"I saw the decorations that others bought from you. , The carvings are extremely exquisite, why don't we have one now?"

"This is an ordinary area, where ordinary people come, how could the young lady take a fancy to it?"

Mu Chenxing looked at her and didn't remind her. Only by letting her discover these can the preciousness of the East End be fully reflected.

"Miss, please come here." Mu Chenxing extended his hand to the east area to invite her, "That side is the boutique area. They are all exquisite products with excellent carving and meticulous workmanship. The styles are novel and unique, and they can also be customized according to the customer's wishes. "Oh. "

Only then did Li Shiyun realize that she was in the wrong place, and when she heard that she could customize it according to her own wishes, her eyebrow embroidery was unlocked and her expression became more relaxed.

Chapter 44

Li Shiyun moved to the east area, and the carvings were indeed extraordinary, very different from what she had just seen.

She looked at them one by one and saw two small screens with exquisite and lifelike patterns.

One is a large peony, graceful and rich, and exquisitely carved. It was given to my grandmother. She loves peonies. They are said to be the king of flowers and a symbol of wealth.

One is decorated with blossoming peach blossoms, which is extraordinarily delicate and pretty, just in line with her thoughts.

Now that she is fourteen years old, her family is looking down on her, and she is also looking forward to finding a suitable husband. This little peach blossom seems to be blooming in her heart.

But looking around, she couldn't find the gift for her little aunt, and Li Shiyun was a little disappointed.

"This is only a part, and there are still many that have not been carved out. I wonder if the lady wants to see some of the patterns?"

Mu Chenxing observed her words and saw a trace of disappointment on her face, and hurriedly said: "The supply of finished products exceeds the demand. There are not many samples, so we can only give them to customers. Look at the drawings."

When Li Shiyun heard this, a smile appeared on her face, she happily took the drawings and looked through them one by one.

These patterns are exquisite and the designs are ingenious. She likes them all, but it is a pity that there is no finished product.

When she saw a picture of a crane carrying a boy on its back, her eyes suddenly opened wide. The three or four-year-old boy was exquisitely carved, pink and cute, making people like it from the bottom of their hearts.

The crane sings loudly, the boy Yuxue is cute, his big black round eyes are full of intelligence, and his mouth is curved with a bright smile.

Li Shiyun: This is the one, my little aunt will definitely like it. She has been married for five years and has two daughters. She urgently needs a boy to consolidate her status. This is a good sign.

"Shopkeeper, I want to customize this one."

Li Shiyun handed the pattern to Mu Chenxing and said, "How many days will it take to pick it up? Five or six?"

"No." Mu Chenxing lowered his head and saw that Zhao Huan marked it. The time is half a month, "It will take half a month to make it."

"If it's half a month, I won't want it." Li Shiyun raised her head and looked at Mu Chenxing, who had an elegant, arrogant and charming temperament. She didn't believe that Mu Chenxing would not do her business.

"Sorry." Mu Chenxing put away the drawings and smiled slightly: "Miss, you can look at other products. These finished products are not bad."

"What?"

Li Shiyun widened her eyes in surprise and asked in disbelief: "You don't want to Are you doing business?" She pointed to the two small screens she wanted to buy, "I don't want these either."

"You can take whatever you want, whatever you want," Mu Chenxing said with a smile, neither humble nor arrogant.

I thought to myself: Where did Miss Jiao come from and want to threaten people? If the owner knew about it, he might smile on his face but directly refuse to sell it to her.

He had gotten to know Zhao Huan somewhat during this period. He seemed gentle and easy to get along with, but in fact he knew everything well and had the aura to tell the truth.

"You!" Li Shiyun rolled her eyes, glanced at the maid next to her, and then turned her head to look away.

"Hi!" Every maid knows the young lady she is serving best. She immediately pinched her waist with one hand and pointed at Mu Chenxing with the other, scolding: "What kind of shopkeeper are you? How do you do business? If you offend our young lady, do you believe it?" Not a business?"

"Xin Xin Xin," Mu Chenxing said as he walked aside and put away the drawings one by one. "It's because I don't want to do it. It's because your lady didn't like the ornaments in our shop. I don't have the guts to forcefully buy or sell!"

He quickly put the drawings away, fearing that these two people would destroy them without knowing what they were doing, which would be more than worth the loss.

"Whether you want to sell it or not, please tell me something sweet. We don't have time to worry about it." The maid glanced at her lady secretly. Seeing that she didn't want to leave, she knew she had to buy it.

"I'm really sorry, we can't do it in five days."

Mu Chenxing smiled bitterly. He couldn't do anything to the two little girls. Besides, looking at the clothes and the aura around them, they were not something that ordinary people could offend. They didn't dare to Too offended.

"How many days will it take?" Li Shiyun heard this and finally turned around, "We are the Li family from Fucheng. We are here in the county to visit relatives. We will have to go back within a few days." "

Ten days, if you can wait, then wait. I can't just let it go."

Zhao Huan came out to stretch his muscles and heard someone making a loud noise in the shop. He came over and listened for a while. Seeing that they were just domineering and not too arrogant, he took a step back.

He walked over, his eyes passed over Li Shiyun and the maid, and stayed on Mu Chenxing. "Our shop is based on integrity. We can't ignore reputation just because of money. If there are future customers who can't wait, don't hesitate to refuse."

" Yes, my boss." Mu Chenxing felt happy, knowing that Zhao Huan would not be as good as these two girls.

"Send guests off."

After Zhao Huan said that, he turned around and walked back, his attitude unquestionable. In ancient times, it was really funny that someone could encounter forced buying and selling, and it was still by two little girls of fourteen or fifteen years old.

"Are you the boss?" After listening to his words, Li Shiyun knew that her wish might fail today, so she hurriedly called Zhao Huan.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Huan kept walking and continued to move forward as if he hadn't heard anything. Li Shiyun was anxious. She was a little girl after all, and she had a good nature. "Sorry, it was our fault just now."

"Huh?"

Zhao Huan thought in his mind. Funny, she turned around and raised her eyebrows and asked, "I wonder what Miss is calling you?"

Li Shiyun looked at him curiously. The young man in front of her was a few years older than herself. He had an air of indifference and nobility. If he wasn't wearing common clothes and was in this small place, he would definitely be You would think he was a young master from a wealthy family.

Although his face is gentle, he cannot be underestimated. Li Shiyun's heart tightened for no reason, and she didn't dare to act like a young lady anymore. What she wanted was the crane and boy ornaments, not just to vent her anger.

She explained the matter again and sincerely requested some time in advance. She can't stay here long, so she can send someone to get it, but she must reach Fucheng within fifteen days.

"Ten days, no less."

Zhao Huan heard what she meant and knew that she didn't want it for herself, but wanted to give it away. She thought about it and said, "The city is far away from here, but if we take the land route, it will still be delayed to travel both ways. No."

"Oh!" Li Shiyun sighed, but she didn't expect to pay more. "Just ten days. I'll send someone to pick it up then."

Zhao Huan: Why don't you be so arrogant? Either you are rich or you are an uncle. You don't have power to have everything. It is best not to have unrealistic ideas. You are really a little girl who doesn't know the world. With a pair of wings, you can go to heaven.

"You can arrange for your people to come two days in advance." Zhao Huan finally helped her think of a way, hoping to catch up with her time. "I will try my best to hurry up. If the carving is done in advance, your people can leave early. , there will be plenty of time to get to Fucheng."

"That's great, thank you for your accommodation." Li Shiyun was overjoyed. If she could arrive in Fucheng on time, she might be able to win her aunt's favor.

.........

"Daughter-in-law." When Mu Chenxi saw Zhao Huan coming to pick him up, she ran away happily, just like a naughty boy returning home and a chick returning to its nest.

"Go home." Zhao Huan smiled and looked at his smiling face, "Have you had enough food today? Did you eat well?"

Like an old father, Zhao Huan took Mu Chenxi and looked him up and down. I asked worriedly if I would have a good meal at noon.

"I'm full. I bought a lot of vegetables."

Mu Chenxi glanced at Zhao Huan secretly, took his hand and acted coquettishly, "It's the first time to eat in the academy today. I invited Brother Zhang and Jingxing to dinner and ordered some meat dishes. "

He blinked at Zhao Huan's flattering smile and said softly, "I have some vegetables. Brother Zhang and the others bought them, so I ate them. " "

Well, Chen Xi is great." Zhao Huan saw that he was afraid that she would be angry, and kept acting coquettish to please her. She felt so soft in her heart, "You have done a good job, and you will have to take more care of them in the future. We Chenxi are the best!"

"Just this time, my wife will make money. "I'm very tired." Mu Chenxi shook his head. He was greedy today and really wanted to treat Zhang Cheng and the others, "I'll make two dishes tomorrow, one meat and one vegetarian."

"Ouch!" Chen Mingrui was dying of soreness on the side. I have a headache when I see them. They are so greasy and enviable, but who says I don't have a wife? "Chenxi really loves my wife and knows how to sympathize with my daughter-in-law's hard work."

"Of course." Mu Chenxi was not so gentle when facing him. Instead, she said sternly: "When I go home, I have to give my daughter-in-law a shoulder and a slap on her back to make money. It's not easy to support a family. They all say that I have a good life, and I also want my wife to have a good life, so that others can envy her. "

Chen Mingrui really doesn't want to talk to him about his wife." She showed off to him a lot and made him want to find a wife.

"Haha." Zhao Huan saw the depressed look on his face and chuckled: "Thank you, Brother Chen. From now on, just ask Chen Xi to wait for me at the gate of the academy. There is no need to see him off."

"That's right, I know the way and can't lose it. I won't go with anyone else,"

Mu Chenxi said dullly from the side. He persuaded Amber and Zhang Cheng to go back, but he didn't expect that Chen Mingrui followed him closely, preventing his wife from seeing his independence and self-reliance.

"Okay, it's my fault that I delayed your performance."

Chen Mingrui laughed "hahaha" a few times, said goodbye to Zhao Huan and the others, and turned back to the academy.

"Huh?" Zhang Hu saw Chen Mingrui from a distance and greeted loudly and happily: "We meet again. It turns out that you are a student of the academy."

"No."

Chen Mingrui saw that it was the people who met on horseback a few days ago, or the one who The straightforward young man talked to him and said, "You are the master of the academy."

"Ah!"

Zhang Hu looked at Chen Mingrui in surprise and said, "Do you look twenty years old? You are not older than me, but you are already a master. That's awesome!"

"Haha." Chen Mingrui liked his straightforwardness and said with a smile: "There are many people who are younger than me and want to reach a higher level. I am just an ordinary person in the world. "One."

"Humility."

The young man surrounded by them, who had a stern expression on his face and remained silent, suddenly said something and received Chen Mingrui's curious gaze.

"Being less than a weakling is already a great achievement, so there is no need to be overly modest." Liu Qingfeng said.

Chapter 45

"There is no humility."

Chen Mingrui smiled slightly and said: "There are many talented people in Da Rong, and I am just an insignificant member of them. How can I dare to be proud of being a person."

"Liu Qingfeng." Liu Qingfeng raised his hand and asked.

"Uh."

Chen Mingrui was slightly startled and returned the greeting: "My surname is Chen, my first name is Mingrui, and my

courtesy name is Mingzhi." "Edit it in your heart?" Liu Qingfeng raised his sword eyebrows and spoke out with coldness.

"Engraved in my heart."

A wry smile appeared on Chen Mingrui's lips. He didn't think much about it, he just wanted to remember it in his heart and never forget it.

Unexpectedly, this person hit the spot so sharply, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

They just met in a hurry, like meeting by chance, and Chen Mingrui consciously couldn't do anything about the simple and profound exchanges.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, no one spoke, and even Zhang Hu, an honest man, could see Chen Mingrui's embarrassment.

"Ha!" A smile quickly flashed across Liu Qingfeng's cold and handsome face, "I still have something to do today. When we meet again another day, I will ask Master Chen for advice."

Chen Mingrui left as soon as he saw him, neatly. There was no delay in falling, and she didn't react for a moment, staring at his back blankly.

"Master, let's go."

Zhang Hu waved to him enthusiastically and said, "Goodbye, tomorrow."

"Alas!"

Chen Mingrui couldn't help but laugh. Who are these people?

They are not familiar with them. How did they say this? Like a friend. Listening to the words and listening to the sounds seems to mean that we want to keep in touch with each other for a long time.

Liu Qingfeng and the others had gone far, and he also returned to the small courtyard where he lived.

There are three rooms here, one for each of the three wives. If not for this, he would have invited Mu Chenxi over.

He thought of the four words Liu Qingfeng said, and thought of his grandfather. When he was resting, he would go back and take a look, and also let him know that he was safe.

Chen Mingrui lost his mother when he was young, and his father married a stepmother. His grandfather protected him and even continued to help him study despite his own family's objections.

When he returned from Rongdu this time, Chen Mingrui had already thought clearly and discussed with his grandfather to split up the family with his father.

He left the house and left everything he deserved to his father for his old age, and included their family into the tax-free and corvee-free category.

Then Grandpa Tang came forward to find the village chief, clan chief and clan elders, and forced his father and stepmother to agree, and Chen Mingrui was freed.

In order to repay my grandpa and give him a good face, all the fields in his name were divided into two, and half was contributed to the clan as a thank you for the years of help. Half of it was left to my cousin to take care of him in his old age, so that his family could see that their support was not in vain.

He also treats his cousin sincerely and treats him as his only relative. Without him, I would really be alone!

...

"Daughter-in-law, let me squeeze your shoulders."

After eating, Mu Chenxi actively pulled Zhao Huan to sit down, and started to squeeze his shoulders and shoulders behind him. Beat, back.

"Well, okay."

Seeing how enthusiastic he was, Zhao Huan did not refuse and smiled as he pleased.

"How do you feel about the academy? Can you adapt to it?"

Zhao Huan began to understand his situation in the academy and asked him if he knew other students and how did he get along with them?

"Daughter-in-law, let me tell you!"

Mu Chenxi thought of Wang Qingquan and said to Zhao Huan happily: "Oh! I'm still so stupid. I need to study more!"

He sighed with a smile on his face. Minus, it feels like discovering something new and interesting.

"Those two people look pretty good. If their character is really good, we can get along." Zhao Huan said with a smile.

"Yes."

Mu Chenxi agreed and kneaded his hands hard.

"Okay, you should rest for a while."

Zhao Huan felt much better in his shoulders and back after his busy work.

"Daughter-in-law, you go to bed first, I still have to study."

Mu Chenxi took out his books and sat at the desk. He still had to study, and his wife left him a lot of homework.

"Don't study too late. I've been busy these past two days. Remember to tell me if you have anything."

Seeing that the oil lamp was too dark, Zhao Huan took out a candle and lit it, and asked him to rest early.

"Daughter-in-law, what are you busy with?" Mu Chenxi asked.

The flame of the candle flickered, reflecting on Mu Chenxi's face, and the bright eyes gradually became darker, releasing a reassuring light amid curiosity.

"I took on a business today, so time is tight."

Zhao Huan told him what happened today and said with a smile: "We made a lot of money again. You can eat better in the academy, so you don't have to save money."

Although Zhao Huan looked at it If you want to make money, it is because life is difficult, and you always feel insecure without money.

But he will not save on daily expenses. Instead, he will be more generous in food and clothing. During those times when he was hungry and when no one cared about him, why not be kinder to himself!

"But, my wife is very tired."

Mu Chenxi pursed her lips. He didn't want to spend too much. These were all hard earned by his wife, and he felt so sorry for her.

"It's okay, I'm not always so busy, it's just once in a while."

Zhao Huan knew that he felt sorry for her, and felt warm and happy in his heart. He smiled at Mu Chenxi and said, "Making money is to spend it on ourselves. What else can we do if we don't spend it?"

He saw that Mu Chenxi was still struggling, it was so cute that it made his hands itch, so he finally stretched out his hand and rubbed his head.

"Don't worry about it. We didn't agree to divide the work and cooperate. I make money to support our family, and you study to protect our family. You are working hard and no one has time to rest."

"Okay, I will eat Grade A food tomorrow. I will order two meat dishes and vegetables. Just eat Jingxing's."

After Mu Chenxi made the decision, he frowned and said, "My wife, the vegetables they whipped up are so unpalatable."

Zhao

Huan laughed out loud . Mu Chenxi struggled for so long before making a decision, and she was still thinking about the unpalatable vegetables.

"It tastes bad. Just order more vegetables and give them some meat."

Zhao Huan couldn't bear to see others suffer. Mu Chenxi was determined to take care of Zhang Cheng and Mu Jingxing, so naturally he wouldn't stop them.

"Daughter-in-law." Mu Chenxi came over and snuggled next to Zhao Huan, "You are so kind to me."

"Yes." Zhao Huan looked at him with gentle eyes, and let Mu Chenxi lean beside him for a while, "Okay, let's read a book quickly. Let's go to bed early. "

...

In the early morning of autumn, the weather is getting colder.

Mu Chenxi quietly got up before dawn and was busy in the kitchen, wanting to make breakfast for Zhao Huan so that he could sleep a little longer.

"Third brother."

When Liu Chengxin got up, he thought he was the first one, but he didn't expect that the kitchen was already filled with smoke and filled with steam and white mist.

"Yes."

Mu Chenxi looked back at him in the middle of his busy schedule, "There is hot water in the pot. You should wash up first."

Liu Chengxin is the eldest brother's brother-in-law. He is only fifteen years old this year. Mu Chenxi and the others have a good impression of him.

In order to take care of his family, he was left in front to look after the shop and be responsible for three meals a day.

"Third brother, how do you cook?"

Liu Chengxin came over to help light the fire after washing up, and looked at Mu Chenxi in confusion. This is the man who everyone in the Mu family is interested in!

"Why can't I cook?"

Mu Chenxi looked at him with a smile and said, "My wife works so hard and relies on him to do it alone. I have to help with some cooking so that he can rest more." "

Besides , Well, we are a family, how can he burden me with my free time? Aren't we all working hard for this family?"

Liu Chengxin didn't know how to answer, and felt that Mu Chenxi was right.

But I also find it strange that men don't go to the kitchen and are only responsible for outside affairs, while women do all the housework.

But Zhao Huan was not a woman, so he didn't know what to say. Seeing that Mu Chenxi was busy and happy, with a smile on his face, he also laughed stupidly.

Mu Chenxi kept rolling out the noodles with her hands and kept saying: "I don't care what other people do. I won't let my wife work hard alone. She must do more work."

Zhao Huan had mixed feelings outside . , he doesn't find it hard to get up early and cook every day. It's something he was used to doing in his previous life.

When I woke up just now, I didn't see Mu Chenxi. I didn't expect that he got up early to cook for me secretly. I felt sorry for myself and didn't want to make myself suffer.

His eyes were sore and tears welled up in his eyes. No one cared about him, no one thought about whether he was working hard, and no one was willing to do anything for him.

Mu Chenxi, who was still at an unknown stage of thinking, could actually think of taking care of him, and was even more willing to find ways to share the burden for him.

Hearing Mu Chenxi's words full of heartache and occasional cheerful tone, he was so happy to be able to share the burden with him so that he would have less hard work.

"Daughter-in-law, you're awake."

Mu Chenxi happily picked up the basin and poured hot water for him when she saw Zhao Huan come in, and then mixed some cold water for him to wash up.

"I rolled the noodles and added the meat sauce made by my wife. It must be delicious."

"Well, I like the noodles made by Chenxi the most."

Zhao Huan lowered his head to wash up, not letting Mu Chenxi see his reddish eyes. , while washing and listening to Mu Chenxi's chatter, tears couldn't help but wash down, and she choked and agreed with him, hiding all this under the water.

.........

"Mu Juren, what are you doing?"

Wang Qingquan didn't find a chance to talk to Mu Chenxi yesterday. Today during class, he looked at his eyes, rubbing them and pressing them. His posture was weird and he didn't know what he was doing.

He immediately used this matter to come over and talk to Mu Chenxi, "What's wrong with your eyes? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No."

Mu Chenxi stopped doing eye exercises, which Zhao Huan taught him when he sent him here in the morning. Let him protect his eyes during breaks to relieve fatigue.

"This is to protect the eyes and prevent them from being too tired. It can also relieve the fatigue of reading for a long time."

Mu Chenxi was taught by Zhao Huan not to just study all the time, but to take more breaks between classes and stretch his muscles.

He was feeling bored when Wang Qingquan came to his door. Mu Chenxi didn't think he was stupid and just let him play with her for a while.

"You should try it too. After applying eye protection, you will feel much better."

He actively taught Wang Qingquan how to do it with him, chanting one, two, three, four, his clear voice carrying a sense of rhythm. It's pleasant to the ear.

The corner of Wang Qingquan's mouth twitched. He didn't want to follow Mu Chenxi's example and foolishly followed the numbers in his mouth, repeating one, two, three, four over and over again. He looked like a fool.

But how could Mu Chenxi let him go and force him to learn? In the eyes of many students, he followed Mu Chenxi to do eye exercises mechanically, his face as red as a monkey's butt and ass.

Li Shaojie laughed shamelessly, watching Wang Qingquan deflate in front of Mu Chenxi again and again, and he didn't remember to get close to him. He was really a pig who only cared about eating and not beating.

Mu Chenxi also smiled and found that Wang Qingquan was so funny. This friend is worth making and will definitely be funny in the future.

Chapter 46

"One, two, three, four, two, two, three, four."

The voice in Mu Chenxi's mouth gradually disappeared, and only Wang Qingquan's mechanical stumbling sound of counting was left. Several students in the school building who had not gone out had their faces twitching as they suppressed laughter. .

"Haha."

Only Li Shaojie would occasionally chuckle. Mu Chenxi glanced at Wang Qingquan secretly from the corner of her eyes, and the smile on her face continued to grow.

"Brother Wang."

Mu Chenxi sighed softly: "It seems that you really like doing eye exercises and are not willing to stop!"

"Huh?"

Wang Qingquan subconsciously looked up and saw that everyone's faces were flushed from holding back, and there were still traces of eye exercises in the corners of their mouths. With a smile, he immediately understood that he had been tricked by Mu Chenxi.

"How about it, your eyes feel much better, right?"

Mu Chenxi lay on the desk, holding her chin with her hands, looking at him with a smile, "If you keep doing this, your eyes will become brighter and brighter, and you won't feel sore and stinging when reading."

"Look, my eyes are so beautiful."

Mu Chenxi pointed to her own eyes and smiled: "My wife likes them the most. They are as bright as the sun and as brilliant as the stars. Many people envy my eyes, which are as bright and clear as sweet springs. ."

Before Wang Qingquan could become angry, he followed Mu Chenxi's words and looked into his eyes.

He leaned forward and probed his head, carefully observing Mu Chenxi's eyes for a moment, and then excitedly grabbed Mu Chenxi.

"It's true! Your eyes are so beautiful, just like you said."

"Of course, I'm right, right?"

Mu Chenxi blinked her big eyes, and even turned them a few times, and her black and white eyes shone brightly. Overflowing with color, flashing with dazzling light.

"Are you doing eye care exercises on your eyes?" Wang Qingquan asked.

His eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't believe it. Such a few indecent movements, a few more words in his mouth, and a few presses on his eyes could make him look so good?

If Mu Chenxi was born like this and looks so good-looking, Wang Qingquan could still believe it, but he didn't believe it at all about the health exercises.

He also specifically turned to look at Li Shaojie and several other students, and asked: "Do you believe it? His eyes are like this because of exercises?"

Li Shaojie turned his face to the side. There is no need to ask about this! It's not weird. Mu Chenxi said he was stupid. Why hadn't I noticed that Wang Qingquan's head was missing a string before? But others had hit the nail on the head.

The other students didn't say anything and turned their faces away. If you ask such a thing, no one would believe it, so it couldn't be true.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Wang Qingquan rolled his eyes, looked at Mu Chenxi and said, "Look, they don't believe it, and they won't learn this. If they can learn from you, I will believe it."

He said this with pride . Let's see how Mu Chenxi responds with a smile.

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. I didn't force you to believe it."

Mu Chenxi rolled her eyes at him. Only a fool would believe it. He was fooling himself. He was really stupid and stupid.

"Uh." Wang Qingquan was deflated again and couldn't help but frown. Mu Chenxi always looked down on her, so she had to find a way to let him know that she was not someone to be trifled with.

"Let's make a bet. If someone learns from you, how about I treat you to dinner?" Wang Qingquan said deceitfully.

"How can a gentleman be greedy for money? How can a student like gambling?"

Mu Chenxi's lips slightly turned up, trying to suppress a smile, "We are both people with fame, and I am one level higher than you, so I won. It's also a victory without force, and it's just a laughing stock."

Mu Chenxi: Heh heh heh! This stupid guy is a loser, and he won't show his intelligence even if he wins, but if he just wants to eat a few meals, he can still consider it.

"This is not a bet. Didn't you say that doing exercises can protect your eyes? Of course, we must actively find ways for everyone to learn."

In order to win over Mu Chenxi, Wang Qingquan not only used words to provoke him, but also increased the stakes. One of them asked a person to learn from him. Just treat two people to two meals. Mu Chenxi can order the first-class dishes at will.

"Let me tell you, this is a good thing about being friendly to classmates. If everyone learns from you and praises the results, the master will also praise you."

Wang Qingquan was determined to win, and made the matter bigger and said: "Think about it! If the mountain chief and other masters also know about this, then you, Mu Juren, are famous throughout the academy, and you might be rewarded by then!"

"What if no one learns from you?" Mu Chenxi asked.

"Then you invite me." Wang Qingquan smiled.

"Ha."

Mu Chenxi sneered, and spread his hands as a bachelor, "Why should I invite you? I didn't make a bet with you."

"Then." Wang Qingquan was dumbfounded, how could he calculate it like this?

Mu Chenxi ignored him. Wang Qingquan thought he was stupid! If you want to cheat yourself out of food, it will be impossible in the next life.

"Go back and sit down!"

Li Shaojie helplessly pulled the dumbfounded Wang Qingquan, "Master is coming soon."

Wang Qingquan saw other students coming back from outside one after another, knowing that class was about to start, so he returned to his seat angrily and sat down.

Mu Chenxi had a stinky face all morning, and it looked like evil fire was coming out of Mu Chenxi, but he couldn't find a way to make Mu Chenxi suppress it.

If anyone could make Mu Chenxi look embarrassed, he would support it with both hands and would definitely watch the joke from beginning to end.

At noon, Wang Qingquan continued to provoke Mu Chenxi and followed him.

"Mu Juren, do you really not want me to treat you to dinner? You can order any Grade A dish, as much or as little as you like."

After the eye exercises, his eyes were indeed very comfortable. Wang Qingquan knew this.

But so what? After all, the movements are not elegant and all the students are people who pay attention to etiquette. Who would learn from him?

Even if you know the beauty of it, you still have to do it when no one is around. How can you easily show it in front of others? Isn't it inviting ridicule?

Li Shaojie followed without stopping. He also wanted to know how Mu Chenxi would respond. It was impossible to win. At least he would not learn this in public.

"Do you really want to treat me to dinner?" Mu Chenxi turned around and asked.

"A true man means what he says."

"It's hard to chase after a horse."

Mu Chenxi caught his words and smiled with confidence, "Since Brother Wang is so kind, if I refuse to give Brother Wang any face, then I will be troublesome to Brother Wang."

He saluted Wang Qingquan, then waved to the distance and shouted: "Hurry up."

Zhang Cheng led Mu Jingxing on the way to the canteen to eat. From a distance, he saw Mu Chenxi and two people together, already speeding up. Walk this way.

Now when Mu Chenxi shouted, he thought something had happened, so he pulled Mu Jingxing and ran away.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Zhang Cheng asked Mu Chenxi while looking at Wang Qingquan and Li Shaojie. He seriously suspected that Mu Chenxi had been bullied.

"Third uncle, who bullied you?"

Mu Jingxing asked bluntly. His father had told him to watch over his third uncle and not let anyone bully him.

"It's a good thing."

Mu Chenxi smiled, then stopped Liu Wenqing who was coming towards him and said, "These two are my classmates. Today I taught them a set of eye exercises that can protect their eyes and relieve their fatigue from studying, and will not make their eyes sore and unbearable."

"Eh? Liu Wenqing was surprised and asked: "

Is there such a good way? I often feel that my eyes hurt and I have to take a break after reading."

"I'll teach you to wait a while before eating."

Demonstration, taught them to do it again, and then said: "Feel it first and see if your eyes are comfortable."

"Yes, not bad."

Liu Wenqing felt that his eyes were very comfortable after doing it. His father recently forced him to read and read regularly. By the end of the night, my eyes were overwhelmed and the effects were immediate.

"It's good if it's effective, but there's another good thing."

Mu Chenxi pointed at Wang Qingquan and said: "Brother Wang hopes that many students can learn eye exercises to relieve eye fatigue when studying and no longer feel sore, so He specially invited me to dinner. If anyone wants to study with me, he will also invite me."

"My dear brother," Liu Wenqing saluted Wang Qingquan to express his gratitude.

"Ashamed, ashamed."

Wang Qingquan didn't expect that Mu Chenxi would do this and asked a few acquaintances to learn from him. But he couldn't refute it and could only admit defeat.

Mu Chenxi also tried to save him face, telling him not to look bad and feel as depressed as he wanted. This time he lost again.

Li Shaojie now had to face up to Mu Chenxi. He always made unexpected moves, but he won without any dishonor, and he won so easily and logically.

Mu Chenxi was injured, his IQ was damaged, and he had forgotten many past events, including studying. He was also from a poor family, so Li Shaojie didn't think much of him in the past.

But after Wang Qingquan suffered several defeats, and Mu Chenxi's performance, he became more and more confused about what Mu Chenxi's situation was now. Will he recover in the future, or will something else happen?

As for spending some money to eat, it is a trivial matter to them. The main thing is to see how Mu Chenxi reacts and copes with it.

"One, two, three."

Mu Chenxi pointed at Liu Wenqing, Zhang Cheng and Mu Jingxing and counted them, then happily said to Wang Qingquan: "Look clearly, three people, three days!"

Invite a few people to dinner, and said to Wang Qingquan Qingquan didn't matter at all, he just cashed in without having to think about it.

"I'm willing to admit defeat." Wang Qingquan said nonchalantly.

He doesn't lack this little money, but he is too aggrieved. He can't even fight against a person like Mu Chenxi who is not very clear-headed. How can he enter an official career in the future.

"If Mu Juren had the ability, he would let me treat you every day. Not only would he treat you to dinner, but he would also be willing to admire you and be willing to be your inferior in the future."

He didn't believe it anymore. Mu Chenxi could still find someone to learn from him. He just went there The students who went to the cafeteria looked in disbelief when they looked at them doing exercises.

If Mu Chenxi could really find ten or eight more people, even if they were all his acquaintances, Wang Qingquan would be willing to invite them, just to spend some money.

But what about after these acquaintances? When Wang Qingquan thought of this, he regained his energy and regained his fighting spirit.

"My money bag is full, just waiting for Mu Juren to let me entertain you!"

He looked at Mu Chenxi with a smile, reached out and patted the money bag at his waist, and said with a smile: "Don't let it be useless. If someone comes then, Don't blame me for ridiculing Mu Juren for his incompetence."

"You're welcome, Mu Juren,"

Li Shaojie took over. He and Wang Qingquan grew up together, so naturally they couldn't watch him suffer.

"His wallet is empty, and mine is still there!"

Li Shaojie also decided to declare a challenge. He wanted to see how long Mu Chenxi could win, and how long he could really empty their wallets.

"It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate."

Mu Chenxi shook his head. He intuitively couldn't handle this. He was a master of both political integrity and character, so how could he bet against others!

What's more, if Zhao Huan knew about this, how would he view it? In his eyes, he is the smartest, best and best, and he cannot do things that destroy his reputation just for the sake of money.

"It's okay. You can take your time and find someone to learn from. We are not in a hurry."

Li Shaojie immediately advised him. He couldn't let Mu Chenxi shirk. He was not afraid of losing to them, but he was afraid that he would not have a chance to come back.

Wang Qingquan wanted to speak, but Li Shaojie glared back. He was afraid that he would be troublesome, but Mu Chenxi rejected him.

Liu Wenqing and the others stood aside and were dumbfounded by their words. Who could tell them what was going on?

"It's better to go home and discuss it with your employer."

Zhang Cheng sensed something was wrong and whispered in Mu Chenxi's ear to remind him, fearing that if he made any promises, it would end badly in the future.

"Well, that's what I think."

Mu Chenxi looked at Zhang Cheng and smiled: "Let's go eat first. We won a three-day banquet. You can all save money on food. We can talk about the future after eating."

Li Shaojie entered Taking a step forward, he asked: "Mu Juren, please tell me how you are thinking about it. Let's prepare a lot of money to entertain a few people."

"You haven't eaten yet, what are you talking about next?"

Mu Chenxi refused to be fooled and firmly refused to agree. . He knew it well. Zhao Huan had told him many times not to promise anything to others, but to go home and discuss it with him before making a decision.

Just like when he beat Wang Qingquan just now, he never agreed to the bet. He didn't make a move until he saw Zhang Cheng and Mu Jingxing and was sure he could win.

"Ha!" Wang Qingquan laughed at him: "I heard just now that you wanted to go home to discuss it with your wife. Could it be that he doesn't agree and you don't dare to do anything?"

"Of course I have to agree with my wife. Our family all My daughter-in-law is in charge of the house, and I obey her completely." Mu Chenxi said confidently.

Wang Qingquan's nose was almost crooked with anger. He didn't dare to gamble, but he still used his wife as a shield so openly. How shameless it was!

"Don't make excuses about your wife. How can he still be your master? You are the head of the family, so don't reverse your status."

Wang Qingquan wanted to speak openly and let Mu Chenxi know that he and Li Shaojie were not the same. It's so fooling, and I can't use this excuse to frustrate them without betting.

Unexpectedly, Mu Chenxi looked at them more and more wrongly, and her expression suddenly became gloomy, and she said in a cold tone: "You dare to look down on my wife?"

"No, no, Mu Juren misunderstood."

Li Shaojie looked at him . Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly explained, "Let's go eat first and let Mu Juren think it over first. We can talk about it later if it's not urgent."

.........

"Daughter-in-law."

Mu Chenxi got in the car and leaned against Zhao Huan. On his shoulders, he was very unhappy. Wang Qingquan and the others dared to look down on Zhao Huan. He was really, really angry.

He wanted to teach them a lesson, but he remembered Zhao Huan's instructions not to be impulsive in anything, don't agree to anything easily, and don't start a fight directly.

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Huan saw that he looked haggard, and for fear that he would be bullied, he immediately asked: "Who made you unhappy?"

He had never seen Mu Chenxi like this, and his cold eyes gradually became It was dangerous. If he was really bullied, he couldn't just let it go.

Mu Chenxi told the story aggrievedly, "I can't let them look down on my wife. I must find a way to win them so that they don't dare to provoke me or say a bad word to you again."

He sat up straight, his eyes He looked at Zhao Huan with a burning look, as if he was confident of winning, "Daughter-in-law, do you want me to bet with them? I want to beat them to vent your anger."

"Okay, then you can win their heart and soul."

Zhao Huan said with a smile . : "If you can't think of a good way, I'll teach you. You don't have to face them head-on to win, you don't have to do anything, you don't even have to pay for them with words, just let them lose quietly, so that they don't know how you won. "

Chapter 47

"Mu Juren, let's go have a meal."

Wang Qingquan was willing to admit defeat and actively invited Mu Chenxi at noon the next day. He still wanted to persuade him to gamble and regain some face.

"Yes."

Mu Chenxi was not polite and nodded directly in agreement. There is a three-day banquet! He couldn't afford to waste it.

Wang Qingquan ordered another table of Grade-A meals without any reluctance, but instead entertained them warmly during the dinner.

Mu Chenxi, Liu Wenqing, Zhang Cheng, Mu Jingxing, the four of them, plus Wang Qingquan's enthusiasm, Li Shaojie occasionally joked, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Liu Wenqing and Zhang Cheng didn't want to join, but Mu Chenxi forced them to come. Wang Qingquan and the others also invited them again and again, so they couldn't resist, so they joined them.

Only Mu Jingxing had no other ideas. He ate when his third uncle told him to eat.

In his mind, this was earned by his third uncle. It would be a pity not to eat so many good meals. Naturally, he wanted to eat well.

"Brother Mu, what are you thinking about?"

Although he was scolded by Li Shaojie yesterday, Wang Qingquan was still ready to make a move when facing Mu Chenxi. He didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior.

The bet is nothing more than rhetoric. Most of them are still curious about Mu Chenxi and want to find out what his current situation is. Moreover, they feel more energetic every time they feel frustrated.

Their behavior was out of curiosity and testing, and out of a competition between who was smart or stupid, and there was no bad intention.

"Well, your suggestion is good." Mu Chenxi said simply and did not say any more.

Wang Qingquan was confused, thought for a while and asked with some expectation: "Do you agree to the bet?"

"No bet." Mu Chenxi shook his head and did not give him a glance.

Wang Qingquan: "..."

He looked at Li Shaojie, who was also expressionless and didn't give him a look, as if he hadn't heard the conversation between him and Mu Chenxi.

Li Shaojie: This Mu Ju is difficult to deal with, his mind is unclear, and it's hard to figure out. If they keep pressing forward, something might happen, so let's just let him go!

Maybe Wang Qingquan also thought of something. They couldn't treat Mu Chenxi with common sense, and some words and things were inappropriate.

.........

"Amber, I'm here to see you."

Mu Chenxi came over to find the teacher and Amber after finishing lunch.

"Chenxi."

When Amber saw it was him, he happily opened the door for him, "Come in quickly."

"Teacher."

Mu Chenxi greeted Jiang Haohai, her smiling eyebrows were particularly endearing, and her handsome face was full of childishness.

"Sit down quickly."

Jiang Haohai liked him more and more. He studied seriously, but as his disciple, he had no idea of ​​​​reliance. This was the most important thing to him.

"Here, take a cup of the snow pear stewed by Amber."

Amber handed it to Mu Chenxi and looked at him with a smile. It could be seen that Mu Chenxi was closer to him, as if he respected and loved his relatives and elders.

"Thank you, teacher and Amber."

Mu Chenxi took a bite and stuttered. The sweet taste was just right, "Amber, it's delicious."

"Come here often if you like it. Amber will cook it for you if you want."

Jiang An Seeing that he was eating happily, his smiling eyes narrowed, and he asked tentatively: "Chenxi! You have been independent for several days, and everyone has seen how smart you are. Now the weather is getting cold. Come and have a rest in the afternoon. " In a while?"

"Come here."

Jiang Haohai also said, he didn't expect this kid to keep his word, and he really didn't intend to receive preferential treatment from them. "Your uncle is always talking about you, so you can come and stay with him at noon.

" Chenxi looked at Amber, blinked and said, "Okay, I'll come and see Amber after dinner."

The weather was going to be cold soon. He could be outside or in the classroom, but Zhang Cheng and the others must want to accompany him, so they didn't Necessity prevents them from going back to rest.

Jiang Haohai was particularly pleased to see Mu Chenxi getting so close to Jiang An and getting along like his own nephews.

People may be getting old, but the two old men also began to like children and a life surrounded by descendants.

"Amber, can I teach you how to do eye exercises?"

Mu Chenxi looked at Amber eagerly, slightly pursed her lips and looked a little nervous and expectant. If she couldn't create a gap with Amber, it would be even harder for the teacher to open her mouth.

"What eye exercises?"

Amber looked at his pitiful little appearance, as cute as he wanted to be, with his clear and moist eyes, and his innocent expression, which made her feel even more painful in her heart.

"It can protect your eyes and relieve the soreness and stinging caused by tired eyes after reading for a long time."

Mu Chenxi gave him examples one by one of the benefits. Pressing the acupuncture points around the eyes can have a soothing effect with movements.

He demonstrated it to Amber and then asked Amber to do it again, "How is it? Do your eyes feel better?"

"Yes, it is indeed good."

Amber nodded with a smile, and then said to Jiang Haohai: "Master, this technique After doing it, your eyes will feel much more comfortable. You should try it too."

"Yes!"

Mu Chenxi immediately said, "Teacher, I often read and I need to do more eye exercises. It will protect my eyes. If I feel uncomfortable, stop. It feels better to come down and rest."

"Then why didn't you teach me, but taught you Amber first?"

Jiang Haohai pretended to be unhappy and said with a straight face, "If you hadn't mentioned it, would you have forgotten me as a teacher?

"How could it be possible?" Mu

Chenxi's eyes rolled a few times, and she suddenly said with a smile: "The teacher is jealous, and he is jealous of Amber."

He smiled brightly and winked at Amber, looking innocent and lively. , Jiang Haohai was so amused that he couldn't keep his face, pointed at him and said with a smile: "You little clever guy."

"The teacher knows about Chen Xi, how could he forget the teacher!"

Mu Chenxi smiled proudly, and he could feel it in his consciousness Jiang Haohai also loved him and was not afraid of his cold face at all.

"I'm afraid that the teacher will think the movements are unsightly and respect etiquette, so I don't want to learn eye exercises, so I asked Amber to learn it first and let him feel the benefits."

Mu Chenxi leaned next to Amber, with trust and dependence in her eyes, " Amber loves me the most, even if she doesn't like it, she won't refuse."

His eyes were a little aggrieved, as if he was accusing Jiang Haohai of always being so serious, unlike Amber who always smiled and laughed with him intimately.

"Humph."

How could Jiang Haohai not see his little thoughts and ignore him, just saying: "What etiquette? That is the standard for how to treat people and treat others. What does it have to do with this?" "

But they all say that I am The movements are unsightly, and even if they are good for the eyes, they will not learn from me. I really want to teach those students so that they will no longer be troubled by their eyes when reading."

After hearing what he said, Mu Chenxi immediately suggested that Jiang Haohai try it. If it feels good, promote it to other students.

"Okay, that's a good idea."

Amber immediately supported him, "Master, this kid is kind-hearted and doesn't hide anything."

"That's why you came here, right?"

Jiang Haohai revealed Mu Chenxi's thoughts, scolded him a few times, and finally agreed to the matter. "Let's go, I'll take you to see the mountain chief."

As soon as Jiang Haohai arrived in the afternoon, he called Mu Chenxi to the front.

He introduced: "Student Mu Chenxi has learned a set of eye exercises that can relieve the soreness and fatigue of the eyes when studying. Now let him teach you the exercises. From now on, do them before class starts every day to protect everyone's eyes. In the future, if you have eye discomfort when studying, You can also do it once, which is very effective in relieving eye discomfort."

Jiang Haohai's eyes passed over the students, his face was serious and there was a sense of oppression, and he said: "Study hard, don't make any excuses, this is an important matter, don't be careless. , No one is allowed to talk nonsense in private, let alone provoke trouble. "

Most of the students are confused. What the Master says is what he says, and he is absolutely obedient.

Only a few people who knew about this looked at Mu Chenxi with a more searching look.

Only Wang Qingquan was absolutely shocked. His eyes were wide open and he opened and closed his mouth several times without daring to make a sound. He never dreamed that Mu Chenxi would go to his master because of this matter.

Even though I had some knowledge matters, I didn't dare to ask for advice. I was so timid that I only dared to think about it in my heart.

These great scholars invited by the mountain chief are all well-known and respected by others. They dare not disturb them easily, for fear that they will be misunderstood as clinging to them and leave a bad impression.

How dare he, Mu Chenxi, go to his wife just for this eye exercise.

Wang Qingquan didn't know whether to say that he was selfless or meaningless, or that he was stupid and didn't know the importance of coming to bother him over trivial matters.

He was certain that Mu Chenxi must have gone to see the Master after lunch, and that he must have gone to the Master's residence to discuss the matter with the Master in private.

Not only was he thinking about it over and over in his mind, Li Shaojie was also shocked, his thoughts were complicated and unbelievable.

There is no doubt that this matter is good for students. The problem is that if private teaching is allowed, who would selflessly come to the Master to talk about this matter.

Is this a big deal? If Mu Chenxi bravely took action for the purpose of asking for advice or some other selfish reasons, Li Shaojie would not think too much.

He fell into deep thought, how dare Mu Chenxi find his wife, what is his idea, just for such a trivial matter, doesn't he have other intentions?

The most incredible thing is that the Master was actually invited by him. From what he said just now, it is easy to see that the Master absolutely supports it and cannot even be questioned.

Li Shaojie considers himself to be as smart as others, and there are very few people who hold importance in his eyes. But with Mu Chenxi's actions today, he knew that in terms of courage, he was not as good as Mu Chenxi.

Mu Chenxi waited for Jiang Haohai to finish speaking, then stepped forward to teach these students eye exercises. Before starting, he bared his teeth at Wang Qingquan and smiled, with no trace of embarrassment in his eyes.

Wang Qingquan felt pain in his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, his eyes were burning, the veins on his forehead were trembling violently, and his throat was dry, stinging and burning. He wanted to rush out and yell: "I fucking lost again!"

He didn't even think of it. , Mu Chenxi didn't bet with him, nor did she feel sorry for the so-called banquet money, but mainly because of the word "lose", and she couldn't win back even a little bit of face.

When Mu Chenxi came home in the evening, he ran to Wang Qingquan and Li Shaojie and said seriously: "Brother Wang, Brother Li, I'll take a step first."

After saying that, he paused for a moment, as if he just remembered, and patted He said on his forehead: "Look at my memory, I want to remind you two brothers that we have not made a bet, and you don't have to worry about banquets all the time."

Mu Chenxi's attitude was uncharacteristically gentle, and he said in a gentle tone: "I hit it off with you two. , It's a pity that he has a shallow education, an ordinary family, and a stupid person, so he doesn't dare to have a close relationship with him. What a pity!"

He shook his head and sighed. Wang Qingquan secretly gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, wishing to go up and punch him with a face full of disgrace. How could he be so cruel? ? Have you ever shown off in front of others like this? Do you also know that you didn't bet with us? Then what are you talking about?

No matter how angry he was or how much he wanted to bite Mu Chenxi, Wang Qingquan had to restrain himself. The etiquette he had learned since childhood did not allow him to do so, even though this guy was too annoying!

"Mu Juren is polite. "

Li Shaojie remained calm and said a few polite words to Mu Chenxi, but he had no other ideas. Mu Chenxi's curiosity was extinguished. There was no grudge against each other. We should live in peace from now on!

"Yes."

Mu Chenxi nodded, "I'll take my leave now."

He turned around and walked a few steps, then turned back and said, "There will be another meal tomorrow, and after that we have nothing to do with each other."

"He, he, he."

Wang Qingquan His hands trembled with anger, "You can go to the master for such a small thing, and you still have the nerve to show off in front of us, as if you have done something great. It really pisses me off."

"It's just amazing."

Li Shaojie glanced at him, feeling a little lonely. Said: "We don't have the courage, and we won't go to the Master about this kind of thing, so we are inferior to others!"

Chapter 48

"Hahaha."

Mu Chenxi was so happy, "Daughter-in-law, you didn't see their faces, they are so ugly."

He imitated Wang Qingquan's surprised look and couldn't shut up, and Li Shaojie's look of disbelief. He even observed several classmates who watched him do eye exercises today.

"Some of the looks they looked at me were meaningful, some were shocked, but there was no malice."

Mu Chenxi recalled the expressions of those people, and analyzed them one by one with Zhao Huan, "Daughter-in-law, they probably won't bet with me anymore. I'll be honest for a few days."

He thought that he deliberately angered them, and Wang Qingquan and Li Shaojie didn't show any malice or discomfort, and his opinion of them became a little better.

"Are you angry with them?"

Zhao Huan asked him funnyly, seeing that he was secretly happy, knowing that he would be proud of it.

"Yes."

Mu Chenxi nodded generously and said with bright eyes: "They just think I am smart and unconvinced, and they always want to be better than me. I am a good person."

"No one can explain fate. As for whether you can do it in the future Intersect, let everything take its course." Zhao Huan thought for a while and said.

You don't have to know each other to be friends. It's not just that they are good friends, it's just a question of whether they have similar eyesight and temperament.

Especially in ancient times, there was a lot more emphasis on it, and there was no need to deliberately make friends.

Mu Chenxi's current situation is not suitable for taking the initiative. Unless someone doesn't mind voluntarily interacting with him, they can truly be friends.

"It's good that I have a wife." Mu Chenxi smiled obediently, her eyes full of dependence and intimacy.

"Yeah."

Zhao Huan looked at him with a smile, and then said, "Have you forgotten Brother Chen and Brother Zhang? Aren't they also your friends and can play with you."

"Yeah, so I don't need to make friends."

Mu Chenxi didn't know what she was thinking of, and suddenly said: "Daughter-in-law, they must be smarter than me. Do they still think I am stupid, or think that I have forgotten the past and have to start learning all over again, so they feel that I must not be as good as them?" ?"

"That's right!"

Zhao Huan looked at him and felt a little annoyed at Wang Qingquan's behavior. Mu Chenxi couldn't hinder them, so why did he have to provoke these things? It was all nonsense.

As a student, being able to study carefree is a blessing no matter what era you are in. They don't study hard, and they really don't know how to cherish it.

.........

"Shaojie, what do you think Mu Juren is thinking?"

Wang Qingquan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so he opened his mouth to discuss this matter with Li Shaojie. He really didn't understand Mu Chenxi's thoughts.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have thought of testing him with this matter!"

Li Shaojie let out a slight sigh. He thought a lot about this matter and couldn't sleep, so he simply put on his clothes and stood up.

Fortunately, they share a room with two people, so it won't affect other people's rest. If you study in a county school with four people in a room, no matter how upset you are, you have to keep it in your heart.

"I'm convinced, no matter what, he will win." Wang Qingquan also stood up and said.

The two people lit candles and sat facing each other, pretending to be Mu Chenxi's magical operation.

After a while, Wang Qingquan spoke first. He was open-minded and said, "Maybe stupid people are lucky." Apart from these words, he couldn't describe Mu Chenxi. Of course, he also had his own little thoughts. He still didn't want to admit that he was better than Mu Chenxi. fool.

"Right."

Li Shaojie frowned and pondered, comparing his own shortcomings, "He took advantage of the right time, place and people. We lost because we couldn't see clearly the priorities of things and lacked courage and decisiveness. We focused on gains and losses in everything and valued our own interests. Putting reputation and etiquette at the highest level only brings constraints to oneself."

He analyzed Mu Chenxi's matter bit by bit and analyzed his shortcomings. Both he and Wang Qingquan were committed to their official careers, so they were cautious and took reputation and gains and losses too seriously, losing their true intentions.

Wang Qingquan is not stupid, but he is more lively, likes to laugh and is more curious. The education he received since childhood and the path he will take in the future do not allow him to make any mistakes.

Mu Chenxi was cheerful and unrestrained every day, which made him envious from the bottom of his heart for no reason, and he felt close to her invisibly.

Driven by curiosity, keep getting closer and closer. Mu Chenxi's family background, the path he will take in the future, and his current situation all make him let down his guard.

After several meetings, Mu Chenxi's intelligence and his free and easy spontaneity made Wang Qingquan want to compare.

Every time he was frustrated and annoyed, it made him become more frustrated and courageous. It was like the play between friends, like the competitiveness between children, and he repeatedly provoked him. In fact, there was no malicious intention.

.........

The next morning, Mu Chenxi walked into the college calmly.

His bright smile in the past has faded, leaving only a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. He will not let others see that he is complacent and must maintain the character of a humble gentleman.

This is what Zhao Huan told him. The more famous you are at this time, the more people praise you, the more you must maintain an open-minded and indifferent attitude.

Don't be complacent, don't be arrogant, don't make people feel that you are superior to others, and don't feel that your moral character is lacking.

Therefore, as soon as he entered the academy, he behaved in a gentle, humble and polite manner, smiling at everyone. He was generous and decent in his words and deeds, which made people feel more cordial.

Especially during recess, his classmates heard that the whole school was doing eye exercises, and they experienced the benefits first-hand, and they had a higher understanding of Mu Chenxi.

When Wang Qingquan saw Mu Chenxi's different behavior from the past, he secretly said "poof" in his heart. It was too fake to pretend to be sophisticated.

Now he is fully aware that Mu Chenxi did not become stupid after being injured. He just lost his memory and needs to learn it all over again. Those rumors in the market are untrue and really misleading!

Li Shaojie had the same idea as Wang Qingquan. They looked at each other. If they were praised by their classmates, they would also choose this action. No matter how proud they were, there would be no joy on their faces.

Since then, Mu Chenxi has left a deep impression on them. He is extremely intelligent, open-minded, decisive and brave, and has the courage to act in an unconventional way.

At the last meal at noon, Wang Qingquan apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, Mu Juren. I have always been rude in the past, and I have offended many people with my words and deeds. Please forgive me."

He was sincerely grateful at this moment. If Mu Chenxi really confronted him, The bet will be a complete failure.

All the students in the academy, how many people are there, and how long does it take? It can be said that he will treat Mu Chenxi to dinner during the examination period.

Money matters are not in his eyes, but how he can afford to eat every banquet is definitely a lump in his throat, reminding him that he is a complete loser.

If Mu Chenxi intends to punish him and spread the news about the gambling, how will he have the face to meet people in the future, and how will he be able to study peacefully in the academy.

When Mu Chenxi was sure of winning against him, when he and Li Shaojie were tempting and even a little bit chasing after him, she still resolutely refused to bet against him. This magnanimity and openness made him ashamed.

"Why are you so polite?"

Mu Chenxi maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and said with a slight smile: "We are classmates and we are both gentlemen. We laugh and play with each other. There is no need to forgive anything."

Wang Qingquan bent down to salute and kept this posture . Hearing Mu Chenxi's words really made him feel a little ashamed.

"Get up quickly."

Mu Chenxi stood up and stretched out his hands to help each other, and said: "We also want to thank Brother Wang for the banquet. We see this hospitality and know that Brother Wang is also a kindhearted person, so we should not be humble and polite to each other."

" That's right!"

Liu Wenqing finally knew what happened, and smiled to help Mu Chenxi, "Brother Wang, why should you take it so seriously? You have only just met Mu Juren, and over time you know that he is the most gentle and generous person. "Treat people sincerely."

"Mu Ju is a human being, and the two of them have gradually come to understand each other."

Zhang Cheng lamented on the sidelines. Without their husband, how would he come to the academy to study, and how would he be able to make ends meet at home? He will never forget them in his life. favor.

"Brother Mu has a good nature."

Li Shaojie changed his title at this moment and no longer addressed him as Mu Juren. He expressed his acceptance of Mu Chenxi as a friend, but he was more reserved than Wang Qingquan.

"Thank you, thank you."

Mu Chenxi was happy in her heart but determined not to show it on her face. He himself felt that it was not a big deal. Zhao Huan was right and there was no need to be complacent.

After all, Wang Qingquan and the others don't have high IQs and can't compare with a smart person like him. There is no sense of achievement in winning against them, so they naturally behave generously.

If Wang Qingquan and the others knew his thoughts, they would be so angry that they would vomit blood. With their financial background, they are destined to pursue an official career, and their experience and experience are not comparable to that of Mu Chenxi.

It's just some means and some scheming that don't need to be used on him. If there is really a showdown, it's hard to say to what extent.

"We will be friends from now on, better than classmates."

Wang Qingquan said with a hearty smile: "It's a pity that there is no wine here, otherwise we would really have a few drinks with a few brothers."

"This is not easy."

Liu Wenqing put down his hand. He picked up his chopsticks and said, "While I'm resting, I'll be the host and treat a few of you to a banquet. Let's have a good drink."

"Okay."

Wang Qingquan slapped the table, his eyes full of excitement, glanced at the people on the table and said: "Everyone, please remember that we must have a great time and never come home until we are drunk."

He and Liu Wenqing were also at odds with each other, and the two of them discussed this matter. Which restaurant, what kind of food, what kind of wine to drink, like a child who has never been out to play.

Mu Chenxi ate quietly and did not participate in their discussion. She even winked at Zhang Cheng and Mu Jingxing, telling them to eat quickly.

There was a big table of good food in front of them, and those two stupid guys couldn't let it go to waste if they didn't eat it.

Besides, the food will taste much worse when it's cold, so he'd better eat well.

Zhao Huan would ask him about his meal every day when he went back. What if he got angry knowing that he didn't eat well and had no brains to discuss boring things with others?

"Alas!"

Wang Qingquan sighed. This town is too small and there is no good place. There is only one largest restaurant, and the others are not worth mentioning. "I can only go to Hongxiang Restaurant."

"If you don't go there, you still have to go there ." Where can we go?"

Mu Chenxi had almost finished eating. Hearing that they were worried about not having a good place, he said coolly: "Hongxiang Restaurant is the largest restaurant in the town. Do you still want to go to heaven? ? "

They are really two brainless guys. They talk about such a simple thing for so long, just a few words over and over again. They are not annoyed, and even Mu Chenxi finds it boring.

"Pfft."

Li Shaojie and Zhang Cheng laughed. They didn't expect Mu Chenxi to have the potential for a poisonous tongue, and Wang Qingquan and the others were stunned.

In fact, this is true. There are only two restaurants in the town, one large and one small, and a few small restaurants. Do we need to negotiate where to go?

"Hi."

Liu Wenqing smiled and said, "I don't know about this yet. I don't want to spend a few words with Brother Wang. He is from the county and is not familiar with us. I will take him out for a walk some other time."

"Change . "What day?"

Mu Chenxi said without mercy, "I have only one day off for ten days."

"Uh-huh."

That's true. Liu Wenqing had nothing to say. He was so excited for a moment that he forgot about not being able to get out of the academy and thought it would be as convenient as when he was at home in the past.

In the past few days, he didn't even have any familiar friends in the academy, and he was a little annoyed that he couldn't go out. Otherwise, he wouldn't have hung out with Mu Chenxi when he wasn't very familiar with them.

"Ahem."

Wang Qingquan covered up his embarrassment and said: "I felt like old friends at first sight, and we chatted a few more words without realizing it. We are all friends and don't have to be restrained. We can open our minds and talk freely."

"We felt like old friends at first sight."

Mu Chenxi curled her lips . , "You have met several times and had dinner several times, and you still said that we fell in love with each other at first sight. The wording should not be used to study hard."

Even Wang Qingquan couldn't help laughing at this time, why was Mu Chenxi's speech so awkward? He didn't dare to say the words "tricky" or "mean". It is estimated that as soon as he said it, Mu Chenxi had a lot of things to say to him.

"Eat, let's eat first."

Li Shaojie suppressed a smile and stepped in to smooth things over. "The food is almost cold, so you should eat quickly."

Chapter 49

"Chenxi, what are you doing?"

Mu Chenxing went to the backyard to find Zhao Huan. Seeing that Mu Chenxi was wearing an apron, he asked him funny.

"Cleaning."

Mu Chenxi looked at him and smiled: "Is there anything wrong, cousin?"

"I'm coming to see my boss." Mu Chenxing said.

"Oh."

He pointed to Zhao Huan's studio, "It's inside, you can go."

After saying that, he turned around and went about his own business instead of joining in the fun.

Today was his first time to take a shower. He sympathized with Zhao Huan's hard work and got up early in the morning to clean the house.

Although his sister is here to help, it is generally not easy to clean his brother's house, especially since Zhao Huan is at home every day, so they are responsible for the hygiene themselves.

During this period of time, Zhao Huan was busy cleaning up at night while sleeping. Mu Chenxi noticed this and knew that he had to grab time to carve during the day and do other things at night.

He was resting at home today, so he tidied up thoroughly, took out the bedding, washed it, and took it out to dry, so that Zhao Huan could rest early at night.

.........

"Ahem."

Mu Chenxing opened the door and saw Zhao Huan surrounded by apprentices, listening to him explaining carvings. He couldn't interrupt directly, so he coughed twice to remind Zhao Huan.

"Shopkeeper Mu."

Zhao Huan heard the movement and looked up to see him. He couldn't help but smile and said, "What's the matter?"

Since there were more people in the shop, Mu Chenxing became more particular and called him boss every time they met. , if others call him wrong, he will scold him.

He is serious and meticulous in his work. Zhao Huan admires his attitude and actively cooperates with him. He calls him Shopkeeper Mu every time.

"There are a few guests outside. It is said that they are from the county town and they want to meet the boss."

Mu Chenxing's face was full of joy. This was big business coming again. He quickly asked people to sit down in front and ran to find him. Zhao Huan.

"Oh?"

Zhao Huan frowned slightly. He was not as optimistic as Mu Chenxing. If you want to buy ornaments or custom-made items, just ask the shopkeeper directly. There is no need to go to him.

"I'll go take a look, you guys learn on your own first."

Zhao Huan stood up and told the apprentices that since he was called by name, Mu Chenxing probably wouldn't be able to do it, so he had to go and see for himself.

He followed Mu Chenxing to the front and saw three middle-aged men sitting and drinking tea, chatting happily with each other. They seemed to be acquaintances.

"Everyone, you're polite." Zhao Huan raised his hand and saluted.

Mu Chenxing introduced them: "This is our boss, who is also a carver."

"Yo!"

One of the kind-faced uncles said with a smile: "The young boss is young and promising, and his craftsmanship is outstanding, no worse than some old craftsmen."

"Excellent award . "Yes."

Zhao Huan smiled lightly and asked, "What do you want from me?" "I heard that Muyixuan sells wooden carvings and the screens are well made. I

came here to take a look and choose some for the owner."

The charitable uncle introduced himself: "I am the steward of the He family in Xia County."

He then pointed to the other two and introduced: "One is steward Xu and the other is steward Jin. They both came to Muyixuan to purchase wooden carved screens for the main family."

" Oh."

Zhao Huan nodded and motioned to Mu Chenxing to bring over the drawings, "Here are the drawings, you can choose. However, the carvings need to be carefully crafted and the time will not be too short, otherwise it will damage our Wood Art Gallery sign. "

In addition." Zhao Huan said solemnly with his eyes slightly focused: "There are too many people making custom orders now. In order to deliver the goods as soon as possible, so that each family can get the customized carved ornaments quickly, each family is limited to one custom-made one." I'm sorry."

"Here." Manager He said anxiously, "We need to customize several screens in our house. How can one of them be customized?"

"Yes, we want a lot, what can we do?" .

"There is no other way, I am too busy."

Zhao Huan said with a helpless smile: "With the three of you, I can't agree at once. Who should I customize first? How about you discuss it and put it in order to avoid negotiation and compromise. "

He Guanshi and the three of them looked at each other, not knowing what to do. No one can say that they are not in a hurry and are willing to be last in line. The host's family cannot explain it.

"Alas!" Finally, Manager He said: "It seems that we can only customize a screen first and report the situation to the masters truthfully."

"Then let's do it!"

Manager Jin had no choice. The three families had some friendship with each other and couldn't tear them apart. The shameless fight can only be neutralized in this way.

"This may not work."

Manager Xu, who had been silent for the whole time, said, "Our young lady is preparing for a dowry. She has fallen in love with the craftsmanship of Mr. Zhao's family, and is planning to invite him to carve the patterns on the dowry."

"I told you, you need to meet with the boss and Mr. Zhao." Carver, are you waiting here?" Manager

He was a little surprised, but also a little confused. Why did he have to ask Zhao Huan to help with carving? Aren't the carpenters who make the furniture responsible?

"The craftsmanship of those carpenters is not as good as that of Zhao Dong's family. After seeing the carved ornaments made by Zhao Dong's family, our lady started making noises and wanted to invite Zhao Dong's family over."

Manager Xu was helpless. He dared to refuse and did not dare to find a solution to the matters arranged by his masters. ? Unless he doesn't want to hang around anymore, he is tired of living.

If it hadn't been like this, and Zhao Huan had just opened his mouth to limit the number, saying that he was too busy, he wouldn't have opened his mouth knowing that there was no chance.

Whether it succeeds or fails, the words must be said. He said with a wry smile: "Please consider it, Mr. Zhao. Our Xu family is well-known in the county. We have been doing business with integrity for many years and will never treat you badly."

"Oh." Zhao Huan thought in his heart. A smile.

It seems that Manager Xu is not a simple person. In a few words, he not only reported the status of the Xu family in the county, but also pointed out the level of wealth. This is a very high level of speaking and acting.

He acted extremely helpless when grabbing people in front of the other two stewards, as if he had no choice but to hope that they would not interfere.

"Dowry is not a trivial matter. It requires skilled and experienced craftsmen."

Zhao Huan looked extremely serious and said modestly: "You can't take everything at face value. Shopkeeper Xu thinks that I am not even in my prime. No matter how good my craftsmanship is, I will be better." Where to go.

Moreover , I am specialized in the art. I have some experience in making ornaments and some small objects, but I know nothing about other things. I have never done anything to carve patterns for others, so I really don't dare to accept it. Yes!"

Shopkeeper He looked at Zhao Huan appreciatively, "Mr. Zhao is right, and he is sincerely thinking about your family. It's better to go back and tell the masters."

"Well, Brother He is right."

Jin. The shopkeeper agreed: "Dowry is a big deal and should not be taken lightly. Brother Xu had better be cautious. Mr. Zhao is sincere in his words. He can see himself clearly at a young age and is not greedy for vanity. He should not expose his shortcomings. Brother Xu must take it to heart." "Yes."

"Thank you for your understanding. This guy is very talented and made you laugh."

Zhao Huan smiled slightly, no matter why the two managers He and Jin spoke out in defense, this is a good thing. I hope Manager Xu can stop it and don't do anything wrong.

"Okay!"

Manager Xu originally wanted to invite Zhao Huan to come over and let him speak to the masters in person to avoid being blamed. Now that someone is speaking for him, he must give him face no matter what.

As for what happened next, that was decided by the masters and had nothing to do with him personally. He was just following orders, so at least he couldn't be blamed.

The three of them customized a screen each, and at Zhao Huan's warm invitation, they viewed some finished ornaments in the East District.

"What kind of flower is this? It's so elegant and unique."

Guanshi He took a fancy to the orchid ornaments and held them in his hands happily. "The ladies in our family will definitely like it when they see it."

He held it without letting go. Let Zhao Huan calculate the money directly. The other two stewards took a step slower and took out some of the carved ornaments they were interested in.

All of a sudden, all the flower-shaped ornaments in the East District were bought by them. The ladies in the house like these flowers, blossoms, and delicate little things.

As expected of a steward from the county town, he is generous in his dealings. He buys silk without hesitation when he likes it. He takes it in his hand before others see it.

In the blink of an eye, several of the few fine products left in the East District were missing. Now not even one shelf is full, making Mu Chenxing happily busy waiting for several stewards to pay the bills.

Zhao Huan just smiled faintly and stood aside without saying a word. His face was calm and there was no trace of joy or excitement, as if it was a matter of course.

When he started to invite them warmly, he knew that when they saw something novel and elegant, they would immediately want to buy it back to please their masters.

There are also three stewards, all of whom are not short of money. In order to get ahead of others, they must buy it immediately if they like it.

"Boss, we sold more than a thousand taels of silver. We are really big customers."

Mu Chenxing saw them off, turned back to Zhao Huan and said with a smile: "It doesn't take much. If you can do this once in a month or two, our shop will be rich." ."

"Haha."

Zhao Huan shook his head and smiled. He understood what Mu Chenxing meant. It was just a matter of not opening the business for three years.

Those things in the West District are incomparable to this, and they don't even make enough money to sell them for a month or two. After all, they are ordinary people, who would always buy these ornaments if they have nothing to do.

Fortunately, his shop is the only one, and word of mouth has spread. In some nearby villages and towns, families who have happy events or are relatively well-off will always come to patronize it, and the business is not bad.

"This month's wages will be increased to 800 Wen, and the bonus will be doubled to 200 Wen."

Zhao Huan saw that they were all so happy about the business, and felt grateful for their hard work, so he simply gave them more wages.

"Too much."

Mu Chenxing didn't expect that Zhao Huan would give them a wage increase after just over a month of working. They added up to one or two silver dollars. No other place would give them this kind of money!

"Your salary is different from theirs. If you add one tael, your bonus will also be one tael. You can get five taels of silver this month."

Zhao Huan saw the excitement on their faces and spoke again to scare everyone.

Before Mu Chenxing could speak, Mu Chenyu stammered, "Hey, my cousin will give me five taels! Boss, did I hear you right?"

"That's right, if you work hard, you will have the opportunity to get a raise in the future. Don't be too envious."

After Zhao Huan said that, he turned around and went back to the backyard, leaving these people alone to get excited. He was still busy.

"Ahhhh!"

Mu Chenyu, Liu Chengxin and Zhang Zhi shouted happily. They could all open a tael of silver. They didn't even dare to think about it, as if they were dreaming.

"Okay, okay."

Mu Chenxing was happy and excited in his heart, but he lectured them, "What the hell are you calling me? Work hard from now on. If you are worried that your employer won't give you more wages, just work honestly. "

Where is the work?"

Mu Chenyu said with a smile: "We do more work here than at home. Even if we look for work, we can't find it.

" I'm glad!"

Mu Chenxing scolded him with a smile: "If you have nothing to do, go to the backyard to get some ornaments and polish them. You can also make some money and use them as a private house for your wife."

"My wife, you're back."

Mu Chenxi just took it off . Wearing an apron, he saw Zhao Huan coming back from the front shop and immediately poured him a glass of water, "Sit down and rest for a while."

"Yeah."

Zhao Huan sat down and drank some water and said, "Don't be busy, just rest." It's a good day. I'll make some delicious food for you later.

I want to eat the dumplings made by my wife."

Mu Chenxi looked at Zhao Huanxiao with a coquettish look on her face. bend. With a hint of shyness on her rosy cheeks, she glanced at Zhao Huan secretly and said, "Daughter-in-law, I don't want to go to dinner with Wang Qingquan and the others. I want to spend more time with you at home."

"Eating?"

Zhao Huan raised his eyebrows and asked, "With What kind of food are they going to eat and where are they going to eat?"

Mu Chenxi told Wang Qingquan and Liu Wenqing about their invitation. He was so hard on them at that time that it didn't stop them from wanting to eat and drink together.

He is very troubled now. It would be wrong not to go. We are all friends, and it is natural to invite them to get together occasionally, but he really wants to spend time with his wife.

The most important thing is that he feels that if he speaks out, Zhao Huan will definitely support him to go, and then there will be no reason to stay at all.

After hearing his musings, Zhao Huan couldn't help but smile and said: "A meal will only last an hour at most, and Zhang Cheng will accompany you."

Mu Chenxi still kept his head down and said nothing. Zhao Huan knew what he was thinking, But we can't let him have no friends, always staying at home and hanging around him.

He asked tentatively, "How about you go have dinner with them, and I'll wait for you outside the restaurant, and we'll come back together then?"

"Really?"

Mu Chenxi suddenly raised his head. He didn't expect Zhao Huan to accompany him. , happily holding Zhao Huan and not letting go, "My wife is so nice, she is so kind to me, hahaha."

Chapter 50

"Master Chen, where are you going?"

After a day off, Chen Mingrui planned to return to his hometown for a visit. As soon as he left the academy gate, he saw a horse riding in the distance and stopped in front of him.

"Brother Liu."

When Chen Mingrui saw it was Liu Qingfeng, he raised his hand in greeting.

He looked behind Liu Qingfeng and saw that the people who had accompanied him in the past were not there. He was alone, "Brother Liu, are you alone today?"

"Yes, Liu specially visited Mr. Chen. We met twice and felt very close. I don't know what will happen today." If you have some free time, why don't you get together and make friends?"

Liu Qingfeng's cold aura became much calmer. Although his face was still expressionless, his eyes were very gentle and his tone of voice was casual and friendly.

"Uh."

Chen Mingrui was speechless. Are you familiar with him? But when Liu Qingfeng said he was visiting specifically, he couldn't refuse outright. He slightly lowered his eyelashes and thought about how to deal with it.

"Is something wrong, Mr. Chen?" Liu Qingfeng asked considerately.

"It's nothing big, I just want to go back to my hometown for a visit."

Chen Mingrui thought that if he went back, he would just visit his grandfather and then come back. He could also go to the next holiday, so he said, "Since Brother Liu came here specially, I won't go back."

"How's this? If it's convenient, would you like Liu to come and visit us?"

Liu Qingfeng's eyes flashed with a smile, and he said seriously again: "I first came to your place to work. I heard that this place has beautiful mountains, green waters and extremely beautiful scenery. "Jia, I wonder if Mrs. Chen can introduce me."

"Huh?"

Chen Mingrui was immediately stunned. Why did he have to come to visit and lead a tour by himself? What does this mean?

Seeing that Liu Qingfeng was handsome and resolute, with a cold and indifferent expression, Chen Mingrui thought he was someone who was not easy to get close to, so why did he come to his door by himself?

Liu Qingfeng saw how adorable he was with his blank eyebrows, so he stretched out his hand to fish it out, put him on the horse in front of him, and said: "Since Mrs. Chen has something to do, Liu will come to visit another day to apologize for coming here rashly today." , let Liu take you back home."

"Hey, I."

Before Chen Mingrui could say anything, Liu Qingfeng said, "Drive," and the horse under him ran away, choking all Chen Mingrui's words. .

The official road was flat and easy to walk, with flowers, plants and trees on both sides retreating rapidly. Chen Mingrui sat on the horse, and was momentarily infected by the momentum of the horse's galloping, and his mind suddenly opened up.

Since Liu Qingfeng's kindness could not be refused, he enjoyed a horse galloping. This was his first time riding a horse, and maybe it would be his last, so he didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

He didn't hesitate at the moment and generously told Liu Qingfeng the direction. He just focused on blowing the autumn wind, admiring the scenery on horseback, and feeling the thrill of moving at high speed.

Liu Qingfeng saw that he was more accustomed to it. He looked at the surrounding scenery in a good mood and said with a thought: "How does it feel to ride a horse? Are you still used to it?"

"Very good."

Chen Mingrui felt that his speed had slowed down and the wind blowing against his face gradually weakened. He also said: "This is my first time riding a horse. I feel a rush of blood. My mood is very different from before."

"Do you want to ride by yourself?"

"Ah?"

Chen Mingrui turned around and met Liu Qingfeng's eyes. Somewhat embarrassed: "I can't ride a horse. I can't even run a few steps before the horse throws me off."

"It doesn't matter, I'm here."

Liu Qingfeng said casually: "If there is a chance in the future, I will teach you how to ride. It's simple."

Xu Shi rode the same horse, which brought the two of them closer together.

Xu was talking about the topic of horses, which all men yearn for. As they communicated, they gradually became familiar with each other from strangers, and they got along naturally.

"We're here."

Chen Mingrui pointed to the town in front, "This is our Qiushui Town. It's relatively poor, and there are not many people in Jiri."

They dismounted, and before Chen Mingrui could say anything, Liu Qingfeng took the lead and left, "Let's go first. Mr. Chen will come to visit you later when it's convenient."

"It's not inconvenient."

Chen Mingrui saw that he was leaving and said with a smile, "It's just that I am alone and my house will be full of dust and difficult to entertain guests.

" How could he let Liu Qingfeng go at such a time? He must have invited him to his house to entertain him. Although the house is dilapidated and dilapidated, Liu Qingfeng doesn't seem like someone who cares about this.

It is inconvenient to say some things, so Chen Mingrui can only briefly introduce the situation. The house is relatively simple and there is no one to clean it, so he may be wronged.

"How can a man in the army be afraid of this?"

Liu Qingfeng finally came to the door after retreating. How could he care about the situation at Chen Mingrui's family? In the army, he had never suffered anything, and the conditions were as simple as a piece of cake.

When they arrived at Chen Mingrui's village, Liu Qingfeng's usually cold expression changed slightly.

"This is my home."

Chen Mingrui pointed. Half of the three thatched houses in front had collapsed, and the remaining one seemed uninhabitable.

The small courtyard surrounded by fences is in a dilapidated state, as if it has been desolate for many years and can no longer be called a home.

"My grandpa asked for it when the family was separated. I didn't need to come back to live in the house to make a living, so I didn't repair it, which made Brother Liu laugh." Chen Mingrui looked at the deserted courtyard and said mockingly.

At that time, he didn't have much money, and he had to go out to make a living. Naturally, he couldn't use up the remaining money, so he could only continue to be in ruins.

"It will be alright, for sure."

Liu Qingfeng said softly, as if comforting Chen Mingrui, but also as if talking to himself, ensuring that everything would not be like this again.

.........

"Daughter-in-law, I'm going to buy groceries."

Mu Chenxi took the basket and pushed open the door of the sculpture room, "I'll be back in a moment."

"I'll go too."

Zhao Huan stood up and walked out, smiling: "I haven't gone out with you for a long time. It's rare that you are at home today. Let's go for a walk together."

"Okay!"

Mu Chenxi immediately gave Zhao Huan a big smile: "Aren't you busy? Can you take a day off?"

"You can take a rest. , The ornaments have been carved, and it will be fine if someone comes to pick them up in the afternoon."

Zhao Huan did not tell him that he had just received a custom-made screen from three stewards from the county.

If Mu Chenxi knew about it, she would definitely feel sorry for him and work from dawn to dusk to help him.

"Okay, let's go."

Mu Chenxi held Zhao Huan's hand as usual and said happily to his sister: "Xinyue, you and Zhang Hui stay at home, my wife and I will go shopping for groceries."

"Oh!"

Zhao Huan Sighing silently, Mu Chenxi relied too much on him. She was happy as long as she was with him, and others didn't take her seriously.

At first, I saw that the wood carving ornaments business was good, and I wanted to start a big business, but now it seems a bit fanciful.

This small shop makes me very busy, and I don't even have time to spend more time with Mu Chenxi, so how can I get more custom orders?

This is also the reason why he refused to accept more orders today. The entire shop relied entirely on him and he was really too busy, so he could only accept less customized products.

If you want to really run the shop well and continue to expand and sell customized products, you need to cultivate a group of experienced people, which will take a long time.

"What are you thinking about?"

Seeing that he was silent, Mu Chenxi put her head in front of Zhao Huan and carefully observed his expression, "Are you tired, wife?" "

It's okay, I have a day off today."

Zhao Huan stretched out her hand and tapped his forehead, " I'll make dumplings for you and accompany you to the restaurant tonight, okay?"

"Okay."

Mu Chenxi looked at Zhao Huan suspiciously and said nothing more. Watching people coming and going on the street, I suddenly felt that it would be better if I could always hold my wife's hand like this and never let go.

Zhao Huan wanted to let go of his hand as soon as he came out, but Mu Chenxi's grip became tighter and tighter, so she simply let him go.

Although there were many people on the street, they looked a little surprised, but Mu Chenxi smiled happily like a child, and Zhao Huan was reluctant to make him unhappy.

"Uncle, buy some meat."

Mu Chenxi and the others came to the meat stall and picked out a good piece of pork belly, "Ten pounds."

"There are so many, do you want to make braised pork today?" The uncle asked with a smile.

"Making dumplings, there are many people in our shop."

Mu Chenxi looked around while talking to the uncle, "Huh? Uncle, long time no see."

When he saw the uncle selling fish, he hurried over and asked: "Are there any shrimps left? ?"

The meat seller saw him going to buy shrimps again, and said to Zhao Huan with a smile: "Every time Mu Juren comes back to buy meat, he always looks around to see if there is anyone selling shrimps, saying that Mr. Zhao likes it."

Zhao Huan heard this . As he spoke, his gentle brows became softer. Mu Chenxi always cared about him, thinking about whether he was tired every day.

There is a gentle smile on his handsome face, and his elegant and bright appearance is incompatible with the people around him, which makes him soft and elegant and unique.

"Ha!"

There was a chuckle, and then a male voice came: "What a handsome and gentle young man. Whose family does he belong to? I have never seen him before."

The face of the butcher seller suddenly changed, and he looked nervously. Zhao Huan muttered in a low voice: "Hide quickly."

Zhao Huan glanced at him in confusion, turned around, and saw a young man in his twenties looking at him with a wretched expression.

The look in his eyes made Zhao Huan frown. It looked like he was not a good person. According to the uncle, he was still someone who couldn't be offended.

"Haha, such a handsome young man is such a joy."

The young man came over, stood in front of Zhao Huan, and said with a playful smile: "This skin is so tender, you can squeeze out water when you pinch it."

He said with one hand Reaching towards Zhao Huan, he was about to touch his face. The boy who was following him flattered him: "Young Master is so lucky. You met a handsome man when you came out today."

Zhao Huan was so disgusted by them that he wanted to vomit, and he didn't even think about it. Instead of retreating, he stepped forward, grabbed the young man's arm, pulled one end to remove the entire arm, and then punched him in the abdomen.

"Ah!"

A scream came from the young man's mouth. He staggered a few steps and almost fell. Sweat was pouring out on his painful forehead, and his face was pale and bloodless.

"Master!"

The young man hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "Master, how are you?"

"It hurts, it hurts."

The young man cried out in pain, looking at Zhao Huan's eyes burning, but unable to say a word or a half. language.

"Hmph."

Zhao Huan looked at him coldly, with a trace of cruelty flashing inside, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, you will have that arm removed."

"Go to the hospital quickly, don't delay.

" The frightened butcher seller was brought back to his senses by Zhao Huan's words. He was afraid that they would have another conflict and hurriedly tried to persuade the boy, "Send Mr. Luo to the hospital quickly. If it's too late, can you bear the responsibility?"

"Hey." The

young man woke up and helped his young master, "Master, let's go to the hospital first and deal with this kid later."

The young man has a delicate body and has never suffered from this. It hurts beyond words. After saying that, he could only glare at Zhao Huan fiercely, and was helped to the medical center by the servant.

"Alas!"

The uncle sighed as he looked at their backs, and said to Zhao Huan with an unbearable expression: "Mr. Zhao, you are in big trouble this time!"

He knew that Zhao Huan just didn't do anything, and he was attracted by that bastard. It won't be good, and I don't know what to say at the moment.

"He bullied my wife, he is the big problem."

After Mu Chenxi bought the shrimps, he just turned around and saw a young man touching Zhao Huan's face and saying teasing words. He was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. .

Just as he was about to run over to teach that disgusting thing a lesson, he saw Zhao Huan beating him out neatly. He was stunned for a moment. His wife was really amazing.

"It's okay."

Zhao Huan turned to look at him standing aside angrily, with a frighteningly serious face. He thought he was scared, so he hurriedly comforted him and said, "He's just a dirty scoundrel, just give him a beating and teach him a lesson."

" Wife."

Mu Chenxi's dark eyes were filled with distress. She gently held Zhao Huan's cheek and said with difficulty, "It's all my fault. If I were better, no one would dare to bully you."

"I'm sorry, wife. Son."

Mu Chenxi was in an extremely low mood. His heart ached so much. When he saw Zhao Huan being bullied, he wanted to go forward and beat that disgusting thing to death, but he knew that Zhao Huan would not let him.

"Don't be angry, we are not angry. It's not worth it for such a thing."

Zhao Huan coaxed him gently. Seeing the mist rising in his eyes, his heart felt like it was pinching in pain. He regretted that he had been gentle just now. He should have been harsher. Just give him a good beating.

He listened to the butcher uncle's words and knew that this wretched guy was no ordinary young master. But so what, it's absolutely impossible for him to endure it like this.

In his previous life in an orphanage, he just struggled to survive. Alone with nothing to worry about, all I have is a life, whoever has the ability can take it.

It was because of his ruthlessness that he fought with his life in every fight, so he was spared a lot of bullying and slowly got over it.

If he hadn't suddenly thought of Mu Chenxi just now and stopped in time to suppress the anger in his heart for fear of scaring him with his fierceness, the young man might have broken his arms and legs by now.

"Alas!"

The butcher seller saw that they were not afraid at all, and knew that they might not understand the Second Young Master Luo, so he said kindly: "You should think about it first, how to avoid the revenge of the Second Young Master Luo!"
