In fact, Du Shaoxuan didn't take this matter to heart at all. He had too many things to do, busy practicing martial arts, attending classes, and learning military tactics.
His daily schedule was packed and he was so busy that he forgot about this matter.
As long as he didn't see Li, he wouldn't be able to remember her.
"Mom likes her so much, I don't want to make you sad."
Actually, he had forgotten! The world is so big, why would he care about such a trivial matter?
Mrs. Du felt as if she was stabbed in the chest several times, and the pain was severe. "Silly child, it was my fault. I didn't know people well and harmed you. I made you hate women so much..."
Du Shaoxuan is the apple of her eye, her only son whom she loves dearly and her future support.
How could a mere adopted daughter compare? She only hated herself for being blind, deceived, and letting the wolf into the house.
At this moment, she was filled with self-blame and hatred towards Li.
All the love disappeared.
Seeing that she had misunderstood, Du Shaoxuan opened his mouth but swallowed the words back.
Forget it, let her think so, so that I don’t have to urge her to get married every day.
Grandma Du Jiu was scared. She thought the incident happened so long ago and was long over. Who could have imagined that it would be brought up again one day?
"I didn't, young master, you misunderstood. I'm so much older than you, how could I..."
Du Shaoxuan asked calmly, "Are you saying I'm lying?"
Grandma Du Jiu hurriedly explained, "No, I meant that you were still young at that time and didn't understand the relationship between men and women. You thought too much."
Du Shaoxuan still asked expressionlessly, "Are you saying I'm stupid?"
“No, no, no, I…” Grandma Du Jiu closed her eyes and found that nothing she said was right. How could this happen?
Du Jiu was furious when he saw this. "I'm going to divorce you, you bitch. I should have known that an ambitious woman like you would not settle for mediocrity."
Compared to the only heir of the Du family and the future commander of the Du family army, what is Du Jiu?
However, although he took several concubines over the years, he was very respectful to his wife and left the domestic affairs to her to manage, with legitimate children being placed first.
What do you get in return?
Grandma Du Jiu cried and denied it, but she could not change Du Jiu's decision. Besides, Mrs. Du completely disliked her. She had no backing, so who would take her seriously?
Mu Wanqing didn't care much about this. The Li siblings were completely finished and had no chance of turning things around.
She was more concerned about Du Shaoxuan and glanced at him from time to time. Du Shaoxuan noticed her gaze and his lips moved slightly, but his words were different when they came to his lips.
"I want to eat spicy hotpot."
The last time I heard Mu Wanqing talk about it, hot pot and spicy hot pot will be her signature dishes in the future.
I was tempted by what she said.
Mu Wanqing nodded without hesitation, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away. It will be delicious with the cool and sweet ice jelly and cold cake."
Food has the magical power of healing. Eating a dessert when you are in a bad mood can relieve stress.
Du Shaoxuan felt a little warm in his heart. Everyone said that she was extremely smart and wise, which made people feel fearful and terrified.
But those people did not see her kindness and chivalry. She was brave enough to take responsibility and was a very rare person.
Obviously, as a girl who has not yet reached marriageable age, she does not need to shoulder the burden of the entire family. With her abilities, it is too easy for her to keep herself out of trouble.
But she still stood up resolutely, brought the scattered family together again, pulled them out of the quagmire, protected them all the way, and continued to protect them at the border, finding a way for them to survive.
Such a girl with such a passionate, kind and loving heart is hard to find in the world.
"Ze'er, this is..." Mrs. Du walked over and looked at Mu Wanqing with worried eyes.
Du Shaoxuan introduced solemnly, "The patriarch of the Mu family, Mu Wanqing, is also the one who created the South City Snack Street."
“This is my mother.”
Mu Wanqing bowed and greeted Mrs. Du. Her behavior was graceful and appropriate, and her etiquette was absolutely good.
Mrs. Du had heard of her name for a long time, but this was the first time she saw her, and she couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Why should a girl who is always surrounded by gossip and a troublemaker make her son look at her differently?
She was wearing a simple and neat Hu costume and had a high ponytail. She had a beautiful face, a pair of eyes as clear as water, and a graceful and elegant demeanor.
Mrs. Du's eyes were guarded. "I've heard of your name a long time ago. I wonder how you know my Ze'er?"
As a mother, this is what she cares about most.
Mu Wanqing said with a smile, "He is my savior. He shot an arrow to save me. His archery skills are very powerful. He is the most righteous and heroic person I have ever seen. He helped a stranger with an arrow. It made me see the legendary benevolent and righteous man..."
She kept blowing all kinds of compliments without blushing or getting nervous, and she spoke very naturally.
Mrs. Du loves her son dearly. She may not be pleased if others praise her, but she will be happy if others praise her son.
She suddenly found Mu Wanqing much more pleasing to her eyes. Well, she had good vision and was a person who knew how to be grateful, unlike that ungrateful person.
Du Shaoxuan blushed, "Ahem, don't mention this."
It was the first time Mu Wanqing saw him blushing, and she couldn't help but feel a little curious, so she teased him on purpose, "Why don't you mention it? If you do something good, you should publicize it, Madam Du, don't you agree?"
Mrs. Du is a real son-fan. In the eyes of a mother, her own son is the best.
What's more, Du Shaoxuan has indeed grown into an outstanding man.
"Yes, my son is indeed a rare good man in the world."
A smile flashed in Mu Wanqing's eyes. This personality... is really easy to coax.
"That's right. Anyway, I've never seen anyone better than him. Madam Du, how did you train him? You are amazing."
This remark touched Mrs. Du's sore spot, and her voice rose several degrees. "He has been self-disciplined since he was a child, and he is very intelligent. He learns everything quickly. He started practicing martial arts at the age of three. At such a young age, he has more perseverance than adults, and he is not afraid of anything..."
Although she didn't raise the child, she gave birth to him.
Du Shaoxuan stroked his forehead and sighed. Women were really weird. "Mom, how can you praise your own son like this?" And she praised him so bluntly. It was embarrassing.
Mu Wanqing said with a smile, "Why can't I brag? Having a good son is such a great pride, and I should show it off to the whole world."
Every word she said touched Mrs. Du's heart, and she couldn't help but nod, "Wanqing is still sensible. Let me tell you, when Ze'er was a child..."
Du Shaoxuan was particularly speechless. He had been on guard just now, but now he even called Wanqing.
"Mom, aren't you tired? Let me take you home."
"This..." Mrs. Du felt a little unsatisfied.
Mu Wanqing was such a smart person. She saw through her thoughts at a glance and invited her with a smile, "Why don't you come over to my place? I'll make something delicious for you two. My cooking skills are certified by the prince."
Sure enough, this attracted Mrs. Du's attention, "Prince?"
"It's like this..." Du Shaoxuan briefly explained the reason.
Mrs. Du's curiosity was completely aroused. "Then I'll try it."
Of course, she was reluctant to go home like this. It was rare to meet someone with whom she could talk so well.
I am willing to listen to her praising my son, and I sincerely think that what she said is right and very well said. We can even praise her together, and we get along very well.
Du Shaoxuan: ...
A group of people went to the snack street in a mighty manner. It was the first time for Mrs. Du to come to such a place and she felt it was very novel.
The snack street business is still booming. The performance in the first three days of opening was amazing, which surprised the Mu family. It then declined slightly.
But, after a few days, the popularity increased again, and some of the customers were returning customers, bringing their families to shop and eat.
It’s delicious and affordable, why not?
Some come here because of its fame. The snack street has become well-known and everyone in Liangcheng knows it.
Madam Du looked at the crowd of people with a puzzled look on her face, "Are the people in Liangcheng so rich?"
Mu Wanqing explained with a smile, "Some food is a bit expensive, but some is not expensive, the threshold is low, and you can eat your fill with just a few cents."
"The lives of ordinary people in Liangcheng have improved recently. As long as you are diligent, you can always find a job. If you have some money in hand, you won't treat yourself badly."
For example, in the early stages of building a house, whether it was a snack street or a farm, a large number of people were needed, and the wages given by Mu Wanqing were quite fair.
Various building materials, furniture, decorations, flowers and trees, etc. cover all aspects, which can provide half of the people in Liangcheng with something to do and make money.
After the business opened, food was another big expense, and on a long-term basis, the surrounding villages all earned pocket money.
These people have some money in their hands and spend it in the snack street, completing a complete consumption chain.
Only when money flows can value be created.
A snack street has unknowingly changed many things and influenced many people.
There were so many people around and Mu Wanqing was afraid something might happen, so she welcomed the people to her store.
Although it is not open yet, it has everything you need and the decoration is unique, which makes people relax.
At her command, every family brought out their own special snacks, which were lined up in a row and piled up into a mountain of snacks, which was quite a spectacular sight.
Mrs. Du was stunned. So many delicious foods? They all looked delicious and tempting.
“Is this really cheap?”
Mu Wanqing pointed at them one by one, "Yes, this cake is only two cents, this hundred-flower cake is only three cents, milk tea is five cents, fried noodles are five cents..."
Although the price is cheap, the profit is not small due to the large quantity.
Mrs. Du picked up the hundred-flower cake and tasted it. It was soft, sweet and delicious. She also liked the desserts she had tried last time.
"The snacks in our house are not as delicious as this one, but you can't get it without a tael of silver."
Mu Wanqing smiled sweetly, "Then you can try them all. If you like any, have the servants come and get them every day."
"Are you willing to give it up?" Mrs. Du couldn't help but look at her again. Although this thing was cheap, she couldn't afford to take it every day.
Mu Wanqing naturally didn't mind. She was not short of money now, and it was worth it if she could make Mrs. Du happy.
After all, she is the hostess of Liangcheng, and there are many benefits to building a good relationship with her.
"I can't bear to leave others, but you are not someone else, you are the mother of my savior. Without you, there would be no him, and it would be impossible for you to save my life."
Mrs. Du was coaxed into smiling widely. While eating and drinking, she began to talk about the interesting stories of Du Shaoxuan from childhood to adulthood. One praised the other, as if they had met each other too late.
Du Shaoxuan leaned against the window and sighed silently. He felt so tired. Women are so dull and it is really hard to understand them.
After all the necessary ingredients were purchased, Mu Wanqing went to the kitchen to prepare the spicy hot pot.
The most important thing about spicy hotpot is the base ingredients. If there is no chili pepper, you can use Sichuan pepper, ginger, dogwood, cinnamon, mustard, etc. instead.
As I was busy running around, a figure walked in and said, "Make it slightly spicy. My mother can't eat anything too spicy."
Mu Wanqing glanced back, her eyebrows slightly curved, "Okay, your mother is so simple and unpretentious, I like her very much."
Du Shaoxuan suspected that she was speaking in a sarcastic way, but had no evidence.
She is good at coaxing people and has a sweet mouth. As long as she is willing to coax, there is no one she can't win over.
Suddenly, a scream was heard. It was Mrs. Du's voice.
The two looked at each other, then turned around and rushed out.
