The next day, Fu Xiao came down from upstairs. When she heard Mu Lianshen's voice, she quickened her pace. When she saw Mu Lianshen, she rushed over with a smile, "Dad, you're back so early. Today is only the second day of August."
Mu Lianshen ruffled her messy hair and said, "Well, I'm not busy recently, so I came back early."
"Did you stay up late again tonight?"
Fu Xiao said in a soft voice: "No, I talked to grandpa for too long last night. Look, grandpa hasn't woken up yet..."
Mu Lianshen smiled gently, "Go wash up, I'll go call your grandpa."
"Okay,"
Mr. Mu walked downstairs and sat at the dining table, looking at Mu Lianshen and muttering, "You're more decent this time. You came back early before I even reminded you..."
Mu Lianshen handed Fu Xiao an egg with a gentle look, and looked at him, "Dad, I haven't delayed anything before."
"snort..."
"Please eat, the buns are getting cold."
Fu Xiao peeled eggs while watching the two of them bickering.
Mu Lianshen suddenly asked, "Why hasn't Chen Xingzhou come yet?" Didn't he usually bring breakfast to the house?
Today's meal is almost over and no one has come over.
Fu Xiao waved his hand: "I don't know what he's been busy with recently. His eyes are always dark. I didn't ask him to send me home. It's not a big deal to make breakfast at home anyway."
Mr. Mu nodded. "Yes, that kid has been very busy recently. Xiaoxiao, we're going to make chicken soup for lunch. You can go and bring some to him."
"Uh-huh,"
Mu Lianshen looked at the two of them and said, "I'm going to go to Zhai's house...you two can eat slowly."
He stood up and walked out of the Mu family. Old Master Mu curled his lips behind him and said, "My dear, look at your dad. He never comes home even if he comes back early. He is always busy with something."
"Grandpa, my dad must have been very busy to come back so early. You know that the military district has been very busy recently."
"Let's not talk about him anymore, let's eat quickly."
Mu Lianshen came to Zhai Jiu's yard, walked to the door of the study and pushed it open. Zhai Jiu, who was discussing something with Zhai Yumo, looked up and saw him and said unhappily, "Is your claw useless? You can't even knock on the door?"
He didn't say anything, just raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhai Jiu.
Zhai Jiu was speechless. Yes, his manners could not be displayed at all in front of him.
He waved his hand at Zhai Yumo and said, "You go down first."
Zhai Yumo smiled and nodded at the two of them, then turned and left the study.
"Why are you back?"
Mu Lianshen sat on the chair and replied calmly: "I didn't understand what you said last time, so I came to ask you again."
Zhai Jiu laughed when he heard this, "Don't be ridiculous. This is not something that you should come back for. It's because your daughter is getting engaged."
"As for Pang Siyuan's matter,...you have to wait for Big Brother to come back and ask him,"
Mu Lianshen nodded slightly, "He is not that simple. Big brother made this decision a little too hasty."
Zhai Jiu crossed his arms, smiling: "Why do I feel that you said this because you have a problem with him..."
"I have no problem with him, but..." Mu Lianshen sneered: "He seems to have some ill will towards me."
Zhai Jiu frowned: "Really? Why do you say that?"
"A feeling..."
Zhai Jiu waved his hand casually, "Okay, you can tell your elder brother about this after he comes back, I have something else to do now..."
"What business can you have?"
Mu Lianshen stood up and walked to the desk, looking at the things at hand.
When he saw the names above, he raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled faintly.
When he turned around and prepared to leave, he paused, thought for a moment and turned back, "Xiaojiu, times have changed... The Zhai family is fine the way it is now, don't keep trying to climb up the social ladder."
Zhai Jiu's lips curled slightly: "What about the future..."
"Do you know how old you are? The future of the Zhai family will belong to the young people. What does it have to do with you? Hasn't Zhai Yumo been trained?"
He smiled and waved his hand, signaling Mu Lianshen to leave quickly.
After Mu Lianshen left, Zhai Jiu looked at the things at hand and smiled bitterly, "This era...is indeed changing too fast."
After lunch, Fu Xiao came to Shen Xingzhou’s house with chicken soup.
She pushed the door open and saw no one in the study, so she walked into the bedroom.
I saw Shen Xingzhou sleeping on the small couch with his clothes on.
Fu Xiao frowned, put the chicken soup on the table, walked over lightly, raised his hand to touch his forehead, and then took his pulse.
Feeling her palm being tickled, she looked up and saw that Shen Xingzhou had opened his eyes and was looking at her with a smile. He held Fu Xiao's hand and said, "I'm fine..."
"What have you been busy with lately?"
“Can’t sleep at night...”
Fu Xiao was stunned. "Why can't you sleep when you are not sick?"
Shen Xingzhou shrugged, his peach blossom eyes slightly raised, "Maybe I'm too excited,"
"Don't come here..." Fu Xiao said with a smile, "Come and drink some chicken soup to nourish yourself, and make sure you get some sleep at night. I don't want you to come to my house with dark circles under your eyes on the day of your engagement, that would be too ugly."
He got up from the couch, sat at the table, and brought out the chicken soup.
Fu Xiao was sitting opposite him, looking at him with his chin propped up, "Chen Xingzhou, are you stumped by something?"
Shen Xingzhou smiled and said, “No, I was really just too excited and couldn’t sleep at night.”
"Then shall I get you some calming incense?"
"good,"
After finishing the chicken soup and putting it aside, Shen Xingzhou held her in his arms, “I’ll have someone pick up my second uncle next week.”
"Is it early?"
He chuckled and said, "This is the time we agreed on long ago. My second uncle said that if we come earlier, we can stay with you for a few more days."
