After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door

She said softly, "Let's make some dumplings tonight and eat them when your brother and his family come back."

“The kind with more meat.”

Mu Baobao nodded excitedly, his voice rising slightly, "Milk, dumplings, put more meat!"

She loves dumplings so much, she can taste the meat in every bite.

the other side.

Mu Lao San and Mu Lao Er came to the town carrying their things.

Mu Lao Er looked around vigilantly before pulling Mu Lao San towards the alley where they found Mu Baobao.

He lowered his voice and said, "Third brother, let's hire the cat back quickly, just in case."

They came to the town a few days later to hire a cat because they were worried that the human traffickers were still looking for Bao Bao and Prince Zheng.

Mu Lao San said "OK" and paid attention to the situation around him. "Don't worry too much, second brother. Mother and the others came yesterday and they were all fine."

Mu Laoer didn't say much about this matter and went to the alley with him.

As soon as they arrived at the alley, the two brothers saw many cats squatting or standing there, staring at them with their green cat eyes.

Mu Lao Er and Mu Lao San: "..."

This situation is a bit scary.

At this time, a calico cat walked out from the depths of the alley.

Mu Lao Er and Mu Lao San recognized at a glance that this was the calico cat that had protected Mu Baobei.

"Calico cat," Mu Laoer squatted in front of the calico cat and took out a palm-sized piece of pork from the bag on his back.

"This is the betrothal gift my family gives you. Do you want to come to my house and live with the baby?"

I heard from the villagers that the betrothal gift for marrying a cat is very generous, but the best thing his family can offer is pork.

I don’t know if the calico cat will dislike it.

The calico cat lowered its head and sniffed the pork, then jumped onto Mu Laoer's shoulder with the pork in its mouth.

Mu Lao Er was flattered. He asked Mu Lao San with a look of surprise, "Lao San, is the calico cat willing to go back with us?"

Mu Laosan glanced at the calico cat eating meat on his shoulder and hummed, "We have successfully hired the cat."

He took out a lot of meat, cooked rice, etc. from the cloth bag on his back and piled them in a relatively clean place.

Then he called the cats in the alley over to eat: "You all saved my baby's life, this is a thank you gift."

"This is just a small thank you gift, please don't blame me."

The calico cat who was eating meat glanced at his group of little brothers and continued eating meat.

All the cats in the alley gathered around the pile of food and started eating with a slurping sound.

Make pleasant sounds from time to time.

"That Luohan cat doesn't seem to be here." Mu Laoer looked at the cat pile and felt a little regretful. "I was thinking of hiring that Luohan cat too."

It was the Luohan cat that led them to find the baby, so they thought of hiring the Luohan cat back.

Mu Lao San comforted him, "Second brother, this kind of thing depends on fate. Maybe we can meet Luohan cat next time."

"Let's go, let's go back."

Mu Laoer also understood that things like hiring a cat could not be forced.

He and Mu Laoer took the calico cat and walked towards Xingzi Village.

……

Apricot Village.

When Mu Baobao was playing in the mud at the door of his house, he saw Zheng Xingguang coming and waved to him with a smile.

"Little brother."

She waved her hand and the mud on her hand fell to the ground, splashing mud spots.

The mud spots splashed on her clothes again.

There was mud on many parts of her clothes and her face was dirty, but her smile was bright.

When Zheng Xingguang saw her like this, he immediately squatted beside her, looking eager to try, "Baby, is mud fun?"

He had never played in the mud.

When I was a kid, I wanted to play in the mud, but my family wouldn’t let me and kept saying all sorts of things.

Hearing this, Mu Baobao stuffed a ball of mud into his hand and said, "Little brother, just play with it and you'll know."

She wiped her face with her muddy hands.

Made my face even dirtier.

Just like a little cat.

But she didn't care at all, and made various shapes with mud: "This is grandma, this is grandpa..."

Hearing this, Zheng Xingguang started playing with mud and asked, "Baby, are you going to town to do business?"

He asked quietly.

Mu Baobao looked at him strangely, "How do you know?"

Zheng Xingguang didn't dare to say it, and the guards found out through investigation.

He was afraid that the baby would be angry with him after finding out.

"I found out by accident."

He quickly changed the subject, "Baby, be careful with your family's business. I heard that the Du family's first and third wives are back."

"Ah?" Mu Baobao was shocked. "Weren't they exiled?"

Grandma told her that all the adults in the Du family had been exiled.

Zheng Xingguang's eyes were slightly cold, but his tone was normal. "I heard that the Du family's first and third branches asked relatives and friends to pool their money and gave the county magistrate some money, and only then was he released."

In his opinion, this county magistrate was really unqualified.

He has already gained the trust of the emperor, and it won't be long before this county magistrate will be dismissed from his official position.

When Mu Baobao heard this, he ran back quickly: "Mother! Milk!"

Zhu, who was busy in the kitchen, rushed out with a kitchen knife in hand upon hearing this, "Baby, who bullied you?"

"Mom, no one bullies her." Qian, who was guarding the gate of the courtyard, winked at her mother-in-law.

Zhu understood what she meant, put the kitchen knife back in the kitchen, and walked out again, "Baby, what's the matter?"

Mu Baobao took her hand and said seriously, "Grandma, little brother said that the Du family's first and third wives are back."

Zheng Xingguang followed closely behind and explained the matter in detail, emphasizing that it was related to the county magistrate. "Don't worry, Grandma Mu, I will take care of this matter."

Even though Zhu was just a village woman, she knew a little bit about the intricacies of the matter.

She spat, her face filled with anger, "I thought the county magistrate was a good person, but who knew..."

It turns out that the county magistrate is a worthless person.

Zheng Xingguang comforted her, "Don't worry, Grandma Mu. The county magistrate won't be in office for long."

When Zhu heard this, she knew what he had done.

She forced a smile, feeling very nervous, "This... is too much trouble for Prince Zheng. I'm so embarrassed."

Her family will never be able to repay this kindness in their lifetime.

Zheng Xingguang saw through her thoughts and said seriously, "Grandma Mu, this is one of my responsibilities."

As the successor of Prince Rui's Mansion, he has to deal with such matters.

Being a member of the royal family is not enough just for enjoying life.

Zhu didn't quite understand these things, and she couldn't figure it out, so she decided to wait for her family to come back and discuss it with them.

"Then... thank you, Prince Zheng?"

Zheng Xingguang said "You're welcome" and prepared to pull Mu Baobao to continue playing in the mud.

Unexpectedly, a thin woman came in at this time.

"Mu family, let me tell you something."

The woman was sewing something in her hands, and she was talking as she worked. "Zhang's family in the next village, do you know what happened recently?"
