Mu Shicang was stunned by what Old Master Mu said. He then remembered that he didn't have a nightmare last night. That place held his best memories, but also his most horrifying nightmares. Over the years, he had never dared to stay there. When he missed it, he only dared to stay there for a while, but never dared to rest overnight, for fear that the nightmare that had followed him for many years since childhood would come back.
When he came back yesterday, he learned that his uncles and aunts were overly concerned about his marriage with Yang Shushu, so he had to do something to make them shut up temporarily. He had to spend the night there. He was prepared to stay up all night, but in the end, for some reason, he fell asleep as soon as he smelled the sweet smell of milk. He slept until dawn without any dreams.
Old Master Mu had been observing his grandson's expression and found that he was confused for a while, frowned for a while, and then seemed a little annoyed, which made him feel a little curious.
This grandson has been smarter than other children of the same age since he was young. After what happened that day, he grew up overnight. He was used to hiding everything in his heart and always wearing a perfect mask on his face. He rarely showed emotions even in front of him. But today, it was rare to see such a rich expression, which made him both relieved and curious.
But Mu Shicang looked like he didn't want to talk any more, and changed the subject: "Grandpa, why did you agree to let Yang Shushu organize your birthday party? I'm afraid she can't do it?"
Old Master Mu waved his hand and said, "It's the same every year. I want a change of pace. Your wife is the only newcomer here, so she doesn't know the Mu family's tricks. Besides... I want to see what tricks this little girl who's been torn apart has."
The old man seemed to be joking, but his eyes were full of calculation. Mu Shicang smiled and said, "As long as you are happy, Grandpa."
He actually started looking forward to it.
…………………………
But the person who was expected was a little angry at this time. She didn't get any useful information from Chunxiao, because Chunxiao started working at the Mu family after she entered the Mu family, and had never seen what Old Master Mu's birthday party looked like.
However, Chun Xiao kindly reminded her: "You can ask the gardener, Uncle Chen, who often works nearby. He is an elder of the Mu family. I think he has met him."
After Chunxiao finished speaking, she went back to her little room and played games, without any awareness of being a maid.
However, Yang Shushu didn't mind this. It was really nothing anyway.
So she turned around, walked out of the house, walked around, and prepared to look for Uncle Chen.
This place is a little far from the main house, and usually few people come here. Yang Shushu didn't know Uncle Chen, and even her original body didn't know him, so she could only look for him aimlessly. But she was lucky. Not long after, she saw a man dressed as a gardener appear in front of her. The man was holding a pair of big scissors to shape the wax tree. But what was surprising was that Uncle Chen looked in good shape, and his back was straight. He didn't look like an old man at all, but more like a young man.
But Yang Shushu was too excited to think too much and just trotted over: "Excuse me...is this Uncle Chen?"
The tall man in front, wearing blue and yellow work clothes and a straw hat on his head, slowly turned around. The straw hat was obviously not the right size and was only loosely fastened on his head. When the man turned around, Yang Shushu recognized his appearance at a glance and was stunned.
"Mr. Mu...?" After saying one word, she forced herself to hold back the name that followed. She didn't expect that the person trimming the trees here was Mu Jiangfeng. After all, he was the adopted son of Mu Shilian, and he was also the young master of the Mu family. Why was he trimming the trees?
Mu Jiangfeng's facial features are quite profound, and he looks somewhat European. Coupled with his taciturnity, it is easy for people to think that he is cold and heartless. However, Yang Shushu feels that his eyes are quite clear. At least he is very serious when looking at people, which makes people who talk to him feel respected. This is the first time that Yang Shushu has been looked at directly by someone since she entered the Mu family's gate.
In a word, she had a pretty good impression of Mu Jiangfeng.
Mu Jiangfeng looked down at her seriously: "Do you need help?"
Yang Shushu shook her head instinctively, but nodded after shaking it. Then she felt a little embarrassed and raised her hand to scratch the side of her neck: "Well, I just heard that Uncle Chen is an elder of the Mu family. I want to find out how the old man’s birthday banquet was held in the past. Ha... ha ha... if it was Mu..." She didn't know anything about Mu Jiangfeng. She didn't know whether he was Mu Shicang's younger brother or older brother.
Mu Jiangfeng looked indifferent, but considerate: "Just call me Brother Mu."
Yang Shushu nodded and called out in a polite manner, "Brother Mu, can you tell me what you did at the old man's birthday banquet in previous years?"
Mu Jiangfeng lowered his head and thought for a while. He was a man who was very frugal with words. He rarely spoke unless necessary, and even when he spoke, he would keep it as brief as possible.
"Dixing Hotel."
He said only four words, then picked up the big shears and began to trim the privet tree.
Yang Shushu stood behind him, stunned for a moment before realizing what he meant. Was he saying that Old Master Mu's birthday banquet was held at the Dixing Hotel every year? What should they do? A family dinner? Or a banquet for all the guests?
Scratching her neck and thinking about it, she felt that it should be the latter. It was because of this that the Mu family members deliberately pushed the matter onto her. She had no idea what guests to invite. After all, her original body had never integrated into the upper-class circle of the Mu family.
Haha, this family of men and women are so boring. With such a big family business, it’s no wonder that the old man only has eyes for Mu Shicang. They are so petty and won’t achieve much.
Knowing the general idea, Yang Shushu didn't plan to ask any more questions. She thanked Mu Jiangfeng and was about to leave. At this time, Mu Jiangfeng suddenly said: "Actually... Grandpa doesn't like that kind of scene."
This sentence was like a word from heaven, but Yang Shushu understood it this time and couldn't help but smile: "Thank you, Brother Mu."
Mu Jiangfeng didn't look back and continued to cut trees there. After Yang Shushu left, he slowly put down the scissors and turned to look in the direction Yang Shushu left. After looking for a while, his eyes suddenly tilted slightly to the side. At this time, a person came from another path. It was Mu Shicang.
When Mu Shicang saw him, he smiled first, as gentle as the rippling water and lotus: "Brother Feng, the shape this time is quite interesting."
After saying that, he looked at the wax tree that Mu Jiangfeng was trimming. From his angle, the tree had already taken the shape of a cute little bear. Yang Shushu was standing in the place blocked by Mu Jiangfeng and did not notice it.
Mu Jiangfeng nodded, then said, "Your wife came over just now and asked what to do about the birthday banquet."
Mu Shicang was stunned for a moment, as if he was a little surprised at how Yang Shushu knew Mu Jiangfeng. Then he raised his hand to push up his glasses, hiding his inner emotions and smiled: "It is indeed a bit difficult for her."
