Chapter 34 The weasel pays New Year greetings to the chicken
About half an hour later, Mother Li prepared lunch. She prepared a few side dishes according to the old lady's taste, and the rest were dishes that young people liked.
Perhaps because she didn't know what Mu Lanfeng liked, Mother Li prepared more and let Mu Lanfeng eat what he liked.
The old lady was in a good mood today and ate more than usual. Mu Lanfeng was not very hungry to begin with, but seeing the old lady happy, he didn't want to spoil her fun, so he also ate a lot.
As soon as I walked out of the door of Wutong Courtyard and took a few steps, I ran into Mu Baiying head-on.
She was still wearing a fluttering white dress, her face looked a little haggard, and the dark circles under her eyes were clearly visible, which could not be concealed by makeup.
"Fifth sister, it's so easy for big sister to find you!" Mu Baiying said with a pretended affectionate smile.
"Oh? Really? Then I wonder why big sister is looking for me?" Mu Lanfeng looked at Mu Baiying with a smile and asked seriously.
"Look at what fifth sister said. Can't we sisters just reminisce about the past?" After saying this, Mu Baiying stepped forward and took Mu Lanfeng's hand.
Instead of dodging, Mu Lanfeng wanted to see what tricks Mu Baiying was going to play.
The moment she touched Mu Lanfeng's hand, she clearly felt that Mu Baiying was using his internal force to squeeze her hand hard.
It turns out that he has no good intentions!
She asked for this herself!
Then, Mu Lanfeng put his other hand on Mu Baiying's hand, and pretended to be close to her and said, "Big sister is right. Let's go back to Ziyunxuan with me and reminisce about the past!"
As he spoke, he pulled Mu Baiying towards Ziyunxuan.
Mu Baiying felt pain, and the bones in both hands felt like they were broken. She wanted to take this opportunity to teach Mu Lanfeng a lesson, but ended up suffering the consequences. She tried hard to break free from Mu Lanfeng's hands, but they were held too tightly and she couldn't break free at all.
"Fifth sister's hands are really strong!" Mu Baiying said elegantly with cold sweat on her forehead.
Mu Lanfeng let go of Mu Baiying's hand, "Really? Maybe I was too excited to see Big Sister! I'm sorry, Big Sister!"
Mu Baiying looked at her hands that had been pinched until they turned purple, and she was furious. However, she could not lose her temper for the sake of face, so she still smiled and said, "Fifth sister, I came to see you this time not only to reminisce about the past, but mother has recently obtained some new fabrics and wanted to make some clothes for you. Mother is thinking about you all the time!"
The weasel has no good intentions in wishing the chicken a new year!
Mother Wang, who was beside Jiang, had suffered losses at the hands of Mu Lanfeng many times, so this time she asked Mu Baiying to deliver the gift personally.
"Thank you, mother, for thinking of me!" Mu Lanfeng paused and glanced behind Mu Baiying.
Oh my goodness, when is the new fabric?
It is clearly a tribute from the palace. How dare ordinary people use tribute to make clothes!
It goes without saying that these things were privately given to her niece Jiang by the current empress dowager.
Jiang thought that Mu Lanfeng was a girl who grew up in the countryside and would not know the value of things. If she really used these brocades to make clothes, the consequences would be disastrous...
"Big sister, I appreciate mother's kindness, but these fabrics are too expensive. I can't afford them!" Mu Lanfeng refused.
"Look at what my sister said, the daughters of the Mu family are all blessed!"
As expected of Mu Baiying, she is very careful in what she says and does, unlike Mu Hongliao, that brainless woman.
"Since elder sister has said so, I'll trouble you to send it to Ziyunxuan!" Mu Lanfeng was relieved. He had no choice but to accept it first and send it away when there was a chance.
Mu Baiying was quite surprised. Mu Lanfeng agreed so easily?
This is not like her style these days!
"What's wrong? Are you going to regret it, big sister?" Mu Lanfeng asked jokingly.
Mu Baiying came back to her senses and hurriedly explained: "How could that be? Fifth sister is always joking!"
After saying that, he asked the servants to deliver the things to Ziyunxuan.
As soon as Mu Lanfeng walked in, the person delivering the gift also followed him in.
Hong Yin didn't know what was going on, and her eyes involuntarily turned to Mu Lanfeng. Seeing Mu Lanfeng nodded in agreement, she didn't stop him.
"Mother has sent some good things, Feiyan, please keep them well!" Mu Lanfeng said in a deliberately hoarse voice.
"Put them all on the table!"
Feiyan knew that Mu Lanfeng's words were meant for the person who was delivering the gift.
"You must be hungry, girl! Sister Feiyan and I have prepared some snacks. Would you like to try some?"
Mu Lanfeng touched his still bloated stomach, waved his hand, and said, "I can't eat any more!"
The master and servant were busy talking to each other, not paying any attention to the people who were delivering gifts.
Those people felt bored, bowed to Mu Lanfeng, and left Ziyunxuan.
"What is this, girl?" Hong Yin asked in confusion.
"Hongyin, have you ever heard of a weasel wishing a happy new year to a chicken?" Mu Lanfeng asked expressionlessly.
"Of course I have!"
"That's it!"
"Ah?" Hong Yin's brain is always a beat slow, and Mu Lanfeng is too lazy to explain.
"Girl, these materials are tributes from the royal family!" Biqing, who usually spoke very little, suddenly spoke.
He turned to look at Mu Lanfeng, who looked calm, knowing that she already knew the origins of these things.
When Hongyin heard Biqing talking about the royal tribute, she immediately understood what Mu Lanfeng meant: The weasel is paying New Year's greetings to the chicken!
"These things can't be shown to anyone casually. Once they're discovered..." Bi Qing was still worried about Mu Lanfeng.
"I know!" Mu Lanfeng whispered.
Seeing that Mu Lanfeng had an idea in mind, Bi Qing didn't say anything more and just stood aside and watched silently.
"Girl, what should we do then?" Hong Yin couldn't help but ask.
"What should we do? If an enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth! Who is afraid of whom?" Mu Lanfeng said with a firm look in his eyes.
While the master and servant were talking, there was a noise outside the house.
Mu Lanfeng glanced outside the house inadvertently and saw that the person coming was her fourth sister Mu Hongliao, who had a bad temper.
As soon as I thought about it, an idea immediately came to my mind!
The brocade was still on the table. If Mu Hongliao saw such a good thing, what would happen given her temper?
Mu Lanfeng smiled secretly in his heart. Just when he was worrying about what to do with this thing, someone delivered it to his door!
"Miss, this?" Feiyan looked at the brocade on the table, then looked at Mu Lanfeng.
"Just put it here!" Mu Lanfeng raised the corner of his mouth, smiled slightly, and sat down.
"Mu Lanfeng, you little bitch! Get out here!"
Hear his voice before he sees him!
Mu Lanfeng was already accustomed to Mu Hongliu's hot temper and was not surprised by it.
"Hey, what medicine did Fourth Sister take wrongly again?" Mu Lanfeng teased.
"You little bitch, what kind of drug did you give your mother? Why do all the good things come to you?" Mu Hongliao did not hide her purpose and stated it right away.
"What are you talking about, Fourth Sister?" Mu Lanfeng pretended to be clueless!
Mu Hongliao didn't listen to the explanation, she looked up and saw the brocade on the table...
