Chapter 279 The Neighbor Next Door
In the wooden barrel.
Two big red koi carps flapped their wings hard.
Struggle desperately.
They didn't realize that they were just asking for food.
Then he was picked up by this guy and was about to become their meal.
Jiang Miaomiao: ...
This is not the koi in the backyard pond!!
Is this... edible?
Come to think of it, all the fish food nowadays is purely natural.
People should be able to eat it.
I just don't know if it tastes good. I haven't tried it.
Never mind, having something to eat is better than nothing.
Lu Qingyao stared at the fish for a while. She had never seen anyone eat this fish. Was it edible?
The cooks looked at the fish and felt a little headache.
This is my first time making stewed koi. I heard that this fish is very fishy.
But Xiuxiu didn't plan to let them do it. To entertain the guests, she had to cook herself.
In a blink of an eye, the two koi were already in my aunt's hands. "Don't worry, as long as it's not poisonous, I can make any meat delicious for it."
Everyone felt relieved because my aunt cooked for me personally.
Soon, the fish was cooked, and everyone suspected that Mu Yunji came here because of the smell.
He looked a little embarrassed.
Jiang Miaomiao ran over and broke the awkward atmosphere, "Dad, what took you so long to come see me?"
Mu Yunji suddenly became a father less than half a year ago, and he hadn't seen him for a long time, so he was still a little uncomfortable.
But he soon adapted.
Because the little girl is a chatterbox.
"Dad, do you usually live here?"
"Dad, do you like bamboo shoots? These are brought by my aunt from Jiangzhou. They are a Jiangzhou specialty."
"Daddy, you need to eat more."
"Dad, these sour bamboo shoots were also brought from Jiangzhou."
"These eggs were laid by the old hen in the backyard. I just picked them up this morning."
…
Mu Yunji was overjoyed when he heard this.
Jiang Miaomiao, "Daddy, there's this fish, which my brother caught in the backyard pond. I don't know if it tastes good, but whatever my aunt cooks tastes good."
Lu Qingyao: ...
She didn't want Mu Yunji to know where the fish came from.
Who uses koi to entertain guests?
"Brother Mu, this is what Feng'er caught. He said he wanted to try the koi to see if it tastes good."
Jiang Zifeng looked at his mother. What's wrong with this fish? Isn't it good? It's so fat.
Mu Yunji's mouth twitched.
He had just put the fish in a few days ago, how come...
She remembered that the little girl liked to feed fish, but she had never heard that she liked to eat fish.
At this size, I guess it can only eat sea bass.
I should have put some sea bass in there earlier.
Lu Qingyao personally served him a bowl of fish soup, "Brother Mu, I didn't know you came to this house, so I only have some home-cooked dishes, so please make do with them."
Jiang Miaomiao stared at her godfather, wanting to know if the koi meat tasted good.
Although koi are good-looking, they seem to have a strong fishy smell.
Not only the little girl, but the whole family was staring at him.
Mu Yunji: ...
I can't eat with you guys staring at me like that.
He heard that Qingyao's family arrived in Beijing yesterday, so he came here early in the morning.
I was just looking for an excuse to come and see Jiang Zifeng, and then I saw him visiting. Isn't that a coincidence?
But I didn't expect that he came so abruptly, and even caught a koi fish for him to eat.
But he likes Qingyao's family.
Seeing that Mu Yunji was eating with relish, everyone felt relieved.
After dinner, after sending the eldest brother out, the godfather said to A-niang, "Qingyao, Feng'er is going to the military camp. Don't worry, I won't let him go to the battlefield. He's just going to gain some experience and see Uncle Lu."
"I feel relieved to go with you." Lu Qingyao didn't know what to say at first, but when she talked about her father and brother, she started to talk.
"Brother Mu, you don't have to spoil Feng'er. You still have to deal with it."
"Brother Mu, I want to bring some clothes and food to my father and brother. Can you help me bring them to them?"
"Brother Mu, after this exile, my father's health may not be as good as before. Please keep an eye on him for me and don't overwork him..."
…
"Okay, Qingyao, don't worry." Mu Yunji nodded repeatedly.
At the very end, Lu Qingyao said, "Brother Mu, the battlefield is dangerous, you must be careful and make sure you return safely."
When he said the last sentence, Jiang Miaomiao saw that his godfather had a smile on his face.
Even after my mother told me so many things, my godfather could still laugh.
But this look made her feel a little dazed.
It's like a wife giving instructions to her husband who is away.
Jiang Miaomiao came up with the idea of finding a stepfather for her brothers.
However, things are not always as we wish.
After the family finished their meal, my mother was busy packing things for my grandfather and uncles, including food, daily necessities and clothes, a whole cart.
Jiang Miaomiao felt that it was becoming easier and easier for her mother to ask her godfather for help.
Mu Yunji felt that Qingyao and he seemed to have returned to their youth, when she had also asked him to keep an eye on Uncle Lu.
In the evening, Aunt Jiang Yue sent someone to pick up their family and bring them to the Duke's Mansion for a gathering.
Jiang Miaomiao met Aunt Qianxue, Old Madam Mu, and Aunt Jiang Yue and her husband were also there.
Madam Mu is a very heroic old lady.
The Mu family's house is close to the imperial city, and the neighbors are either princes and nobles or royal relatives. This area is the entire circle of the powerful and wealthy in the capital.
Not only that, it should be said that it is the circle of powerful people in Daliang.
The princess and the royal palace are all next door.
When they arrived at the Mu family's house, they saw Old Lady Mu slapping her eldest grandson because he had painted all the carrier pigeons she raised red.
The slap made a crisp sound.
Jiang Miaomiao shrank back, blaming Aunt Jiang Yue for her overwhelming fighting power.
It turns out that he has a family background in this art.
Aunt Qianxue is a little different in this family.
Seeing them coming, Old Madam Mu put her grandson down and walked towards them, hugging her mother with tears and snot, "Yaoyao, you are finally here. You left so quietly three years ago, and I was so worried about you. Now it's good, your mother is coming back soon, and the clouds are finally clearing and the moon is shining."
The two of them hugged each other and cried, completely unaware of the presence of others.
After she finished crying, Mrs. Mu finally noticed the little girl beside her.
He hugged her again and said, "Miaomiao, you will be grandma's granddaughter from now on. Call me grandma and let me hear it."
She was very pleased to hear that her son had adopted a son and a daughter. The Mu family finally had some popularity.
"Grandma." Jiang Miaomiao called sweetly.
She fell into the old lady's arms, and she took out a bright green jade Buddha from her arms and hung it around her neck.
You can tell at first glance that it is of great value.
Jiang Miaomiao felt that he had received too many gifts in the past two days, because his godfather also gave him a gift at noon, two shops in the East Market and a box of jewelry.
It is said that it was a reward from the emperor.
In return for the favor, A'niang also gave the Mu family many wild delicacies such as bamboo fungus. Fortunately, this thing is now considered very rare and precious.
Even the nobles in the palace like it.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult to pay back the money you owe to others.
After all, the Mu family has everything they need, so I don’t know what gift they can give in return.
After meeting people, reminiscing about the past, and finishing their meal, in front of their children, Madam Mu took Lu Qingyao's hand and said, "Yaoyao, Jiang Yue also told me about your divorce. If you are willing, you can call me godmother. You and Jiang Yue have been close since childhood, almost like real sisters."
Mu Jiangyue nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, Yaoyao, we will be a family from now on."
"No, I...I don't agree."
Mu Yunji stood up suddenly.
