Chapter 164 Song Yu Meets Mu Jingxing
"I have to protect them today. If anything happens to anyone, my princess mother will not forgive me."
Jiang Guanchen raised his eyebrows, "Anyone including me?"
Mu Jingxing smiled and said, "What do you think?"
Mu Qingchu has always lived a life of luxury and would never do rough work like picking fruits.
Seeing the Song Yu sisters smiling happily just by reaching for an apple.
She really didn't understand. As noble ladies, there was no need for them to do these things.
Mu Chuqing waved her hand, and Yanhong took a few maids with fruit baskets to pick her favorite fruits.
"Sister Princess." Song Yu brought the freshly picked oranges to her. "Sister Yanhong said you like oranges. The ones I just picked should be very sweet. Try one first."
Only then did Mu Qingchu see the wound on Song Yu's eye socket.
Out of guilt, I quickly peeled the orange and fed it to her, "Sister Yu, let's try it together..."
"Brother Prince, am I seeing correctly? Your sister is feeding my cousin an orange?"
Mu Jingxing pursed his lips and said, "Look again, the two of them will go pick fruit together in a while."
As Mu Jingxing expected, Mu Chuqing stopped acting like a princess and picked fruits with Song Yu and Jiang Shiyun.
Soon, the laughter of the three sisters was heard from the orchard, attracting seven or eight white phoenixes.
Jiang Guanchen was in a good mood when he saw this. Princess Qingyang liked his cousin, so he was completely relieved. With Princess Anyang, his cousin would not be afraid of being bullied by other noble ladies in Chaofeng Palace Academy in the future.
"Brother Prince, you are in for a treat today."
Mu Jingxing was surprised, "What do you mean?"
"I bumped into my mother when I came here. She said my cousin was going to make some of her signature pastries this afternoon. We'll be able to eat them before dinner. I guarantee that even a picky eater like you will say they're delicious."
Mu Jingxing raised his eyebrows, "Is it really that delicious?"
"You'll know when you try it."
The Song Yu sisters and their two companions picked several large baskets of various fruits and went directly to the small kitchen next to the kitchen.
Song Yu was in a good mood and couldn't come out after entering the small kitchen.
I made jam, juice, fruit platter, apple cheesecake, banana omelet, banana fruit cake with the fruits I picked...
Mu Qingchu and Jiang Shiyun were both foodies. Every time Song Yu cooked a dish, they would eat one. The tempting aroma of food wafted from the kitchen next door, but neither of them moved.
Fortunately, the two did not eat it all, but just tasted it, leaving a portion for Song Yu, and divided the rest into several portions and sent them to the Princess, Madam Mu, Feng Yingying and others.
"What do you think, Princess Sister? My cousin can even make dishes out of fruits. Isn't that amazing?"
"sharp."
Mu Chuqing smiled happily, she must make Song Yu her sister-in-law.
I'll talk to my brother when I get back and see what he thinks.
"Sister Yu, we've made a fruit feast. Would you like to make your specialty pastries?"
Song Yu took off her apron and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely make it. I'll start preparing it as soon as I wake up from my nap. I'm a lazy person, so I won't be cooking when I return to the city, but I will cook occasionally."
Mu Chuqing smiled and said, "Ha... I understand. Cooking occasionally is good for your health."
"I never thought that apples and bananas could be made into pancakes. The Song family girl is quite smart."
Madam Mu praised the fruit feast in front of her highly.
Xiao Zhenshu: "Mother-in-law, Song Yu's mother loves to think about these things. She just takes after her."
"You made these before lunch, but are you going to make cakes before dinner? I'm already craving that peony fruit cake Shulan mentioned just now."
"Don't worry, I will definitely do it. Madam Jiang will go and help. Miss Song will make more so that Madam Du can have some when she comes tomorrow."
"She came at an unfortunate time. The food will definitely taste worse if it's been left overnight. Arrange someone to pick her up and have her come over tonight. If she comes tomorrow, we can't let Miss Song cook again. Miss Song is here as a guest."
Xiao Zhenshu said, "No need. Miss Song will make arrangements to ensure that Madam Du can eat fresh pastries."
Mu Chuqing went to look for Mu Jingxing after taking a nap.
When Mu Jingxing heard the noise, he quickly hid the food box in the cupboard.
"Sister, why are you here? Why don't you go look for your sister Yu?"
Mu Chuqing sat down and took a sip of fruit tea. "Sister Yu went to the kitchen. Madam Jiang and Sister Yun are both there. I couldn't squeeze in, so I came to look for you. Is the fruit feast that Sister Yu made delicious?"
Mu Jingxing said truthfully, "It's delicious. This is my first time eating fruit cake. In the future, you should take better care of Miss Song. She will definitely make delicious food for you often."
Mu Chuqing smiled and said, "She is the savior of you and your grandmother. I would protect her even if you didn't ask me. Sister Yu can't always make delicious food for me. Even if she did, Sister Yun and Sister Qingmeng would have eaten it all. How could it be my turn?"
"You often invite her to stay at our Mu Mansion. Isn't it better to be close to the water and get the moon first?"
Mu Chuqing pursed her lips. Big brother, do you want to be the first to get the moon because you are close to the water?
"It's just a matter of asking Sister Yu to come to our house. Whether Sister Yu is willing to stay here for a while is uncertain, unless there is a reason that Sister Yu can't refuse."
Mu Jingxing said: "If she doesn't come, you can go to Jiang Mansion to look for her. If you go there often, Miss Song will definitely cook for you."
"It's so inconvenient for me to come as a guest. If Sister Yu were a family member, she would have no reason to refuse if I invited her to come to my house."
Mu Jingxing was surprised, "Family? How is that possible?"
"Of course it's possible. My third cousin is getting married soon. If Sister Yu becomes his wife, she will be part of the family."
"Nonsense! Your third cousin is not worthy of Miss Song. I advise you to give up this idea immediately."
Mu Chuqing pursed her lips and chuckled. "Brother, why are you so excited? Although Sister Yu's family background is a bit poor, she is at least capable. Now she is a sixth-rank noble lady. She may be promoted to a first-rank noble lady in the future. When that happens, many ladies from noble families will come to her with matchmakers. Let's get to know Sister Yu first. Naturally, I have to introduce her to my brothers. Third cousin is sixteen years old this year, and Sister Yu is three years old. They are good-looking, and they are a good match."
"They're not a good match!" Mu Jingxing said with a cold face, "He's neither good at literature nor martial arts. He can't bring happiness to Miss Song, and he can't protect her."
Mu Chuqing looked at Mu Jingxing and said, "Sister Yu, if she marries into our Mu Mansion, we will be able to protect her. But having said that, Third Cousin is indeed lacking in other aspects except for his good looks. If Third Cousin is not good enough, then let's find someone else and let Big Brother go on a blind date with Sister Yu."
Mu Jingxing was stunned. "Say it again?"
"Alas, you can't do that either. Besides being too old, you're also not interested in women. It seems Sister Yu can't be my sister-in-law anymore. You can only be someone else's daughter-in-law."
Mu Jingxing frowned slightly, "Don't worry about this matter, the Jiang family will take care of it for her."
"Brother, why don't you get close to women? I still want Sister Yu to be my own family."
"You're getting more and more ridiculous." Mu Jingxing pulled Mu Chuqing up and said, "Get out now. I have things to do."
"Brother, Madam Du is coming tomorrow. The third son of the Du family, Du Zhixu, has not yet proposed marriage. Madam Du has tasted Sister Yu's cooking and will definitely like her very much. She doesn't care about her family background and may even arrange their marriage with Madam Jiang."
"As long as he's not your third cousin, go away."
Bang!
The door was slammed shut.
Mu Chuqing looked at the closed door and was a little confused.
Look at the eldest brother's attitude, he really treats Sister Yu as his own sister.
Was she wrong?
But Xiao Fei would not lie, so he grabbed Sister Yu's hand.
Forget it, brother, I'll just be alone.
In the room, Mu Jingxing took out a hidden food box from the cabinet, which contained a plate of banana fruit ball crisps.
He picked it up and savored it carefully, his eyebrows unconsciously curved, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
After working hard for an afternoon, Song Yu's fatigue instantly disappeared when she saw everyone praising the pastries she made.
There was a pair of eyes looking at her from time to time. Song Yu caught it five or six times before she realized it was Mu Jingxing.
Her brows furrowed under the mask. Does that mean she can peek at her just because she's good-looking?
"Lan'er."
Bai Lan leaned over and whispered, "I'll go look for Prince Mu later and tell him I'm looking for him. Tell him to come find me before dawn tomorrow and keep away from other people."
Bai Lan was surprised. What was Prince Mu doing so early in the morning?
With so many people around, she didn't dare ask.
"OK."
When Mu Jingxing learned that Song Yu wanted to see him, he felt inexplicably happy, but it was soon replaced by panic.
Why would Miss Song want to meet him so early tomorrow?
Are you asking him about the bracelet?
At six quarters of the morning on the second day, Mu Jingxing came to Huiya Pavilion.
