After binding the investment system, I began to cultivate the empress

After cleaning up the last few plates of leftovers, Li Mo went to the kitchen. Gu Xueqin and Li Dalong were washing dishes and chatting about family matters while washing.

"Husband, did you eat too much meat and fish today?"

"Yeah, the ingredients my son made are so nutritious."

Li Dalong wiped the blood from his nose seriously.

Li Mo casually said, "Then let's eat some light vegetables for the next few days. What should we eat? I'll go talk to Elder Qian later."

"Baby cabbage."

Gu Xueqin said it without hesitation, emphasizing the word "baby".

"Okay, this is good. Let's go buy a few baskets later." Li Dalong glanced at his son vaguely.

Li Mo: “?”

Why do I feel like Dad's eyes are pointing to something?

"Son, I see Xiao Bing'er has been wearing that hairpin for a long time. A girl should have some jewelry. How about giving this to her?"

Gu Xueqin wiped her hands and took out a rosewood box from her sleeve.

Li Mo thought it was just one hairpin, but when he opened it, it turned out to be a whole set. One was a hairpin, made of mutton-fat jade and jadeite respectively, and the other three were hairpins.

Don’t forget what Li Jianhao’s job is. You can tell at a glance that the workmanship is from a master craftsman. It is exquisite and sophisticated, and it has been around for many years.

And I seem to have heard Gu Xueqin mention it before...

"My dear, you wore it when you married me. At that time, I felt that my life was really worth it..."

Li Mo: “…”

Oh, I remember what my mother said.

She said at the time: "My grandmother passed this set of hairpins to my mother, and my mother passed it to me. It has been passed down from generation to generation, and I don't know when it will be passed down from me again."

"Xiao Bing'er will definitely look better in it, and if she can call me mother..."

Gu Xueqin smiled and nodded, as if she had already seen this scene.

"Shouldn't the Li family's heirloom be passed down to me..." Li Mo muttered softly.

"It's passed down to daughters, not sons. Little Bing'er was also raised by her mother, and she has long been treated as the same as her own daughter."

“That’s true…”

"Whatever you say is yours or hers, they are all the same."

"???"

Li Mo thought about it and seemed to have figured out what his mother was thinking.

In short, isn't this passed down to the daughter-in-law?

Well, it shouldn't be a big problem. Bingtuozi doesn't know much about this and doesn't know the meaning of it. He probably treats it as an ordinary piece of jewelry.

Yes, that's it, no problem.

"Don't stand here, go ahead."

Gu Xueqin and Li Dalong pushed him out of the kitchen.

"Are you in such a hurry to give me jewelry?"

Li Mo was stunned for a moment.

My parents' attitudes seemed to have changed because of the imperial edict.

When I was in school, I was strictly guarding against premature love, and after graduation, I was urged to get married. Although we are not in the same world, we have the same mentality...

At this moment, Gu Xueqin and Li Dalong were probably eager to get the imperial edict and fill in the blank auspicious date tomorrow.

"By the way, the auspicious date on the imperial edict doesn't even have a date filled in, so why think so much about it?"

When Li Mo thought of this, he stopped worrying about it.

When he pushed open the door, Ying Bing had already come down from the roof and was sitting in front of the dressing table, with her pigtails undone. Her tall figure looked so graceful in the dim light.

When she heard the door open, she paused and continued to comb her hair.

When Xiao Li saw this unreal scene, he subconsciously held his breath.

My hands are back...

Okay, he admitted, he just wanted to hug her from behind, stick close to her, and smell the orchid scent between her hair and neck.

Student Li used to simply think that the ice taste was addictive. Who wouldn’t want to hug such a cool and beautiful girl?

After this incident, he found that this was not the case, at least not entirely.

He invested the most in Bingtuozi, but meeting Bingtuozi was also his greatest luck since coming to the nine heavens and ten earths.

Because of her, he is now full of vigor and vitality.

"When did you come?"

Just when a certain Wangqi Douhun was about to launch a sneak attack, Ying Bing happened to tilt his head and looked back at him.

"Um, I just came in. I thought the door was open and I was afraid some bad guys might break in."

"what about now?"

"It's okay, I've already turned it off."

Li Mo closed the door and locked it considerately, then turned around and looked at Bingtuozi with a gentlemanly face, emphasizing his righteousness!

Ying Bing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she whispered thank you, as if she had no idea that the bad guy was Xiao Li, nor did she notice that he was planning a sneak attack.

"Then why did you come to me?"

"Don't we usually..."

"Uncle Li and Aunt Gu are here."

"It's okay. My dad probably won't get up to go to the bathroom at night. Mom even asked me to come find you."

"?"

Ying Bing put down the comb half-believingly, and saw Li Mo take out a sandalwood box from his sleeve, and then handed it to her as if nothing had happened.

"Mom said you didn't have much jewelry, so she prepared some."

"This is....."

When Ying Bing opened it, she saw the flowery hairpins and the bird and animal jade hairpins, reflecting the flowing colors.

"Well, when my mother came to Qingyuan Sect, she passed by Ziyang Mansion and bought it casually. It wasn't expensive."

Li Mo closed his eyes, feeling unjust but confident.

Now that his parents knew about his affairs, they had no time to visit Ziyang Mansion.

"I'm sorry for the expense, Aunt..." Ying Bing's dark eyes were dyed with a strange and hazy color by the light of the hairpin and the step-shaking ornaments.

She wanted to pick it up, but her hands were curled up and she couldn't open them.

"I...."

"I know you've been combing your hair for so long that your hands are tired. Let me help you."

"Ah."

Ying Bing nodded, turned sideways, and listened to the subtle sound of her hairpins and ornaments colliding in her ears.

She looked at Li Mo's expression of utmost seriousness and concentration, his movements as gentle as if he were treating a rare treasure. Then she saw herself becoming somewhat 'strange', with a face that was so beautiful that the moon could be ashamed of a flower.

Is there something more beautiful than the top of the Hundred Flowers List?

That's probably when she blushes.

After all the hairpins and step-shakes were worn and successfully passed on to their most beautiful owners, Li Mo did not move for a long time.

Ying Bing thought he would launch a sneak attack, but he didn't. He just stood there, staring at her blankly.

"Childish boy, what are you thinking about?" She lowered her eyes and asked softly.

"Oh....well, it looks good on you."

Student Xiao Li came to his senses.

"Didn't you secretly want to hug me?"

Ying Bing asked him with narrowed eyes.

Li Mo raised his head and looked at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle:

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. Everyone knows that I, Xiao Li, am a gentleman..."

"sure."

"really?"

"Sister approved." Ying Bing didn't look back, her tone was serious, high and cold.

But his rippling shadow was clearly reflected in the eyes in the mirror.

Who can stand this?

Archimedes' stick that lifted up the earth couldn't hold it up, and even the Ruyi Jingu Bang couldn't hold it up.

What if it's Hammer?

Student Xiao Li is very curious.

So he silently embraced her from behind, kneading her soft and fragrant body in his arms, resting his chin on her neck, hugging her tightly.
