Shangguan Shaochen's domineering proved that he cares about Ling Muer. Ling Muer was happy in her heart, but she still curled her lips proudly.
Shangguan Shaochen looked at her pretty face and delicate eyes, and felt that a ball of flames in his body was about to burn him to ashes. He really wanted to take this woman home immediately. But there are a lot of troublesome things in the house that need to be cleaned up. Before cleaning it up thoroughly, he didn't dare to marry her and go back to accompany him in fear.
Rough fingers fiddled with her cheeks, the pink skin made him unable to put it down. The two stayed in the room for a long time, and Yang's voice came from outside.
Ling Muer hurriedly pushed Shangguan Shaochen away and straightened her clothes. Shangguan Shaochen was well-dressed and never disheveled. Instead, ambiguous marks were left on Ling Muer's body. While Ling Muer was arranging her clothes, Shangguan Shaochen's eyes became dark again. Even with his back turned to him, he could feel his fiery gaze.
"Mu'er, the servants said that you had a quarrel with Boy Chen? Why did you quarrel if you couldn't say something properly? Boy Chen has always had a good temper, did you provoke him?" Yang's voice sounded outside.
Ling Muer gave Shangguan Shaochen an angry look, and walked over to open the door.
Yang saw that the expressions of the two were as usual, and their clothes were neat. They didn't look like Meng Langguo. Immediately, the suspended heart returned to its original position.
Just now when she heard that Shangguan Shaochen had entered the room with Ling Mu'er in his arms, she hesitated for a long time before deciding to come and knock on the door. After all, she is an unmarried daughter, so she can't be bullied by men. No matter how much she likes Shangguan Shaochen, she can't hand over the woman to him when she has no match. Doesn't her daughter suffer a lot?
"You two really quarreled?" Yang looked at the two of them. These two are getting better at pretending, and she can't see anything.
Ling Mu'er stuck out her tongue, pulled Yang Shi's arm, and whispered in her ear, "Mother, don't worry. I'm the only one who bullies him, and he won't bully me."
"Then what happened just now? I was taken aback when I heard what the servants said." Yang stared at her angrily. "What did you do again?"
"Why is it me again?" Ling Mu'er said unhappily: "Mom, you are so biased, you always favor him. You guessed wrong this time, he is the one who bullies me."
Yang looked at Shangguan Shaochen opposite. The latter felt a little embarrassed. The bullying that Ling Mu'er was talking about was not the bullying that Yang thought of, but the bullying between men and women. Shangguan Shaochen didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only bear the big pot of bullying. Of course, he can't make his future mother-in-law hate him.
"I just saw Mu'er talking to the little prince, and I just wanted to remind her. This little prince is the eldest princess's son, and the environment around him is very complicated." Shangguan Shaochen said in a deep voice, "Mu'er should not talk to someone like that. Get in touch with people too deeply, otherwise it will bring you trouble."
There was a sudden look in Yang's eyes. It's not that Xiaojun Wang's side is too dangerous, but that Shangguan Shaochen is jealous! No wonder the atmosphere was weird just now.
"Your elder brother is right. Like those noble people, it is better for us to stay away." Yang said with a smile: "Since there is no quarrel, I am relieved. Then you talk, I will continue to work."
Ling Mu'er watched Yang Shi leave, and said with a chuckle, "What kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into my parents, and everything is aimed at you?"
As soon as Mrs. Yang left, Shangguan Shaochen held her in his arms again, and said in her ear: "I want to give you ecstasy soup even more. You are too difficult to discipline, girl."
After sending Shangguan Shaochen away, Ling Muer touched her boiling cheeks. Shangguan Shaochen's words still sounded in her ears, and her heart was sweet.
Time slowly passed. In their peaceful life, they ushered in the first snow after entering Beijing. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and everyone is starting to get busy.
Ling Mu'er asked Ling's Restaurant to launch a hot pot series. Suddenly, there was a hot pot boom in the whole capital. The business of the Ling Family Restaurant is in full swing.
The relationship between Ling Muer and Shangguan Shaochen is also slowly sublimating. Shangguan Shaochen is very busy, but he will show his presence at Ling's house every now and then. Everyone in the Ling family agreed that he would be the future son-in-law. Yang Shi and Ling Dazhi treated him better than before. And Nangong Yizhi's cousin has also risen in the Ling family.
Although this layer of window paper has not been pierced, everyone knows what happened between the two. Ling Dazhi even had a talk with Shangguan Shaochen, and he was full of satisfaction with him inside and out. Obviously, even if Shangguan Shaochen has not given Ling Muer a title, the Ling family is very satisfied with him.
"Are you really going to end after the next year?" In the yard, Zhu Qingfeng was sitting in front of the stone table with a game of chess in front of him. Opposite him sat a gentle and gentle young man.
This young man is none other than Ling Zixuan, Zhu Qingfeng's new disciple. Zhu Qingfeng stayed in the Ling family to teach a few children, but only the brothers of the Ling family were accepted as disciples. It's not that he only gives face to the Ling family, but because only the brothers of the Ling family are talented among the children, it would be good if Yang Xiaohu and Fu'er could just be companions.
Ling Zixuan has read the book for half a year, and his demeanor is even more dusty. At this time, he speaks eloquently and has valleys in his chest. He is no longer comparable to the farm boy half a year ago.
Ling Zixuan held the chess piece and dropped a piece, looked at Zhu Qi who was sitting next to him, and smiled gently: "I have discussed with Brother Zhu, we will end together at that time."
"I'm not worried about you two, it's just that Yu'er is still young, and he won't end well. We should let him study for two more years." Zhu Qingfeng looked at Ling Ziyu, Yang Xiaohu and Fu'er who were playing, old His eyes were full of love for Ling Ziyu.
Even if he had never been so attentive to his son before, it can be seen how much he loves Ling Ziyu.
"Teacher, don't worry. My brother is still young, so even if he fails, he can start all over again. It's not that he can't afford to lose, but he should learn from experience. This will help him in the future." Ling Zixuan looked at Zhu Qingfeng with a smile.
"Alright then! During this period of time, I will teach you more exam questions from previous years. Although it is different every year, they are all similar." Zhu Qingfeng said while stroking his beard.
Ling Muer came over with snacks. She put the snacks in their hands, and said with a smile: "Try my new snacks. Make sure you haven't eaten them."
Zhu Qi looked at Ling Mu'er softly: "Sister Mu'er, your craftsmanship is well-known throughout the capital, and we are lucky again."
Ling Muer looked at the handsome young man beside him. Zhu Qi and Ling Zixuan became the new handsome men in the capital. Now every time they go out, many little girls follow them. Those young ladies who had nothing to do also launched a so-called ten sons of the capital. Su Ce ranked first, Ling Zixuan ranked third, and Zhu Qi ranked fifth.
"No wonder Aunt Yao is in such a difficult situation recently. Those matchmakers are almost breaking the threshold of the house. Brother Zhu, don't laugh at other women like this, something will happen." Ling Muer patted her chest, showing a shocked expression.
Everyone in the world says that a woman can captivate the country with a smile and then the city with a smile, but Zhu Chi's smile just now almost dazzled her eyes.
"Girl..." Shang Zhi walked in from the outside. "The little princess sent an invitation letter, and wants to invite the girl and all the young masters to the banquet."
Ling Muer frowned, and looked at Ling Zixuan full of resentment.
For the past six months, the little Princess Chaoyang insisted on wandering around in front of their Ling family. At the beginning, she said that she was pestering Su Ce, and she was a woman who climbed the dragon and the phoenix. Now she intentionally distanced herself from the Su family, but she just rushed to come over. And the root cause of all this is that Ling Zixuan who drank tea leisurely and became more and more handsome and outstanding.
Now everyone in the capital knows that the little Princess Chaoyang has taken a fancy to Ling Zixuan, the heir of the Ling Family Restaurant. As long as there are other women pestering Ling Zixuan, the little Princess Chaoyang will come forward to make trouble. Compared with Zhu Chi, who is getting more and more marketable, Ling Zixuan is a taboo for women in the capital, and no one dares to offend the little Princess Chaoyang.
Yang was very sad. Her son is getting better and better, she should be happy as a mother. But such an outstanding son has no daughters who dare to marry, that's a headache. Yang, who has always been cowardly, also began to dislike the little princess Chaoyang. In particular, several women that Yang had a crush on rejected her marriage proposal, and the reason for the refusal was that they did not dare to offend the little princess, so Yang became even more resentful.
"Brother, what do you say?" Ling Muer threw the mess to Ling Zixuan. The matter is because of him, of course it should be handled by him.
Ling Zixuan dropped the chess piece in his hand, and said lazily: "She invited you to go, so you can go."
"Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? She invited girls and gentlemen. That means you are going too." Ling Muer poked Ling Zixuan on the forehead.
Ling Zixuan held Ling Mu'er's little hand, his gaze was gentle: "Little girl, brother is going to be poked stupid by you. Where did you learn the problem of poking his head every now and then?"
Ling Muer withdrew her hand and smiled awkwardly. Who can learn from this problem? Of course he learned from Shangguan Shaochen. He pokes her head every now and then.
"She wants me to go, so I'll go too." Ling Zixuan raised his head and smiled at Zhu Qingfeng who was opposite him: "Teacher, you lost."
Zhu Qingfeng shook his head and said with a sigh: "I only know that I am a genius, but I don't know that there are heavens and people outside the sky. You have only studied for half a year, and you have never lost your knowledge in books, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. People who have been around for ten or twenty years. With your current ability, even those old pedants can't find anything wrong."
"The teacher deserves the award. Everything the students are learning now is taught by the teacher. No matter how strong the students are, they can't surpass the teacher. In terms of talent, brother Zhu is the most talented person." Ling Zixuan said politely.
"You guys are so tired of talking. My elder brother is outstanding, and elder brother Zhu is also outstanding, otherwise he wouldn't have gained a place in the capital in just half a year." Ling Muer played with the bronzing invitation in her hand. "Since the eldest brother said to accept it, then I will accept it. Anyway, I want to go to you, and I will not go."
She will not compete with those self-righteous noble ladies. They were in that mood, but she didn't have the time.
"It's good to go. This banquet is not organized by the wife of the back house, but by the Lord Fuma. This Lord Consort was also the second in the list back then, and he has always loved and cherished talents. Similar events will be held almost every six months. Banquet. Of course, the female relatives will eat delicious food and enjoy the beautiful scenery in the back house, and the men have something to do in the front yard." Zhu Qingfeng reminded them: "The palace of the son-in-law has many treasures. In this regard, Xuan It’s missing something. This time is just an opportunity for you to see it.”
