Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce
Chapter 63: The Scheming Foster Sister in the Period Literature (3)
Mu Zhou brought a homespun handkerchief embroidered with pine and cypress trees to Tan Zeyu.
"Second brother, this is for you."
Although the original owner was a bit lazy and greedy, she had one advantage, which was her embroidery skills.
Before coming to Beicheng, at the urging of her mother Qi Yan, the original owner embroidered a handkerchief for each member of the Tan family.
"The Tan family are all educated and powerful city people. They have seen all kinds of good things. Let's give them something they can't buy. And if you embroider it yourself, it will show your respect."
More importantly, it can let Tan's family know that her daughter is capable.
Qi Yan had a good idea, but in the original plot, the original owner was so hungry that she was physically and mentally exhausted, dizzy and had a headache, and forgot to give the things to Tan's family at the first time.
Later, when the owner remembered it, he couldn't find the handkerchief. The nanny said uncertainly that it was probably thrown away as a scrap of cloth, so the original owner had to give up.
Now that Mu Zhou is here, he will naturally not forget.
The handkerchiefs were made of coarse cloth woven by their own village. The one for Tan's mother was embroidered with wintersweet, the one for Tan's father was embroidered with mountains, the one for Lu Meng was embroidered with rabbits, and the ones for the remaining three brothers were embroidered with pine and cypress.
When Tan's parents saw it, they couldn't let it go and kept praising Mu Zhou for his skillful hands.
Tan Zeyu looked up at everyone's satisfied expressions, raised his hand to take it without saying a word, and put it in his pocket without even looking at it.
Taking in the girl's slightly disappointed reaction, his eyes flickered and a sarcastic curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
In order to please them, I was indeed well prepared.
When Tan's mother Zhang Baozhen saw his nonchalant behavior, she glared at him with obvious blame in her eyes.
But he also knew that his second son had always been stubborn and cold, so he didn't say much. He just pulled Mu Zhou to sit down and had a good chat about what happened on the road.
*
After some pleasantries, the nanny had already prepared lunch.
Tan Zeruo, the youngest son of the Tan family, is the same age as Mu Zhou, only a few months older. He has a lively and naughty personality and loves to follow fashion.
When Tan Zeruo was introducing his favorite Hong Kong star to Mu Zhou, he looked at Lu Meng and suddenly said:
"Sister Lu Meng, this dress of yours is the one that your aunt brought back from Hong Kong City last month. You always said you were reluctant to wear it and wanted to wait until the Chinese New Year. I didn't expect you to wear it today."
He just said it casually, but Lu Meng panicked for a moment, and she hurriedly explained:
"I think it's an important occasion like meeting Sister Mu Zhou for the first time, so I should dress more formally."
After saying that, he looked at Tan Zeyu nervously, and only felt relieved when he saw that he didn't react.
Lu Meng is a very observant person. After a year of getting along with her, she knows clearly that Tan Zeyu is the most difficult person in this family and has the strongest insight. It seems that no little trick can escape his eyes.
Today she deliberately wore clothes that she usually wouldn't wear. She really had some thoughts on this.
When she knew that Mu Zhou came from a remote rural area, she subconsciously put on this outfit.
Although she thought that this little secret show-off was harmless, who knew that Tan Zeruo would expose it at the dinner table? Fortunately, no one thought much of it.
Mu Zhou also looked at Lu Meng and smiled slightly.
It turns out she doesn't usually dress like this.
Zhang Baozhen smiled and took over the conversation, saying that Lu Meng looked good in the clothes and should wear them more often in the future. She then said to Mu Zhou, "Your aunt is going to Hong Kong City again. Wait for me to call her and ask her to bring you one too."
Before Mu Zhou could politely say no, Tan Zeyu spoke first:
"Mom, Auntie went to Hong Kong City for serious business. Don't waste her time with these trivial matters."
Tan Zeyu's tone was indifferent and serious, which made the atmosphere at the dinner table a little awkward. Zhang Baozhen thought so too and said:
"That's right, I don't want to bother your aunt all the time..."
Mu Zhou also quickly spoke up: "Aunt Baozhen, there's no need to bother. I feel embarrassed that you are so polite. I know you care about me."
Zhang Baozhen suddenly felt soft-hearted and thought to herself that she must buy Mu Zhou some nice clothes.
After dinner, at the agreed time, Mu Zhou called home.
There was only one telephone in Liujia Village, in the brigade, so they made an appointment in advance.
When the call was connected, Qi Yan and Liu Daqiang were both there.
"Saya, have you reached North City safely?"
"I've already arrived. I've met the Tan family's parents and had dinner with them. They've been very nice to me. Don't worry, Mom."
"Oh, that's good. By the way, Zhiyuan is here too. He's been here answering the phone since noon. Go and say a few words to your brother."
There was a tug of war on the other end of the phone, followed by a moment of silence. Then the boy's reluctant voice came:
"I wasn't waiting for your call, I just stopped by to see you."
Then silence fell again.
Mu Zhou pulled the corner of his lips and smiled.
What an awkward boy.
The original owner's nickname was San Ya. Her stepfather Liu Daqiang was an honest farmer. He originally had a daughter and a son. The daughter was already married, and the son was Liu Zhiyuan, who was one year older than the original owner.
Because they were about the same age, the original owner never called him "second brother" and always called him by his first name.
The eldest sister got married early, so the original owner spent more time with Liu Zhiyuan. In the original owner's opinion, the relationship between the two was not good.
Because Liu Zhiyuan didn't praise her like others did, he always made sarcastic remarks and mocked her.
Whenever she wanted to slack off, Liu Zhiyuan would nag her for a long time before he would help her.
Although she didn't have to do laundry, cook, chop wood, or go to the fields because Liu Zhiyuan was around, the original owner didn't like him because of his unreasonable mouth.
In the original plot, when the original owner returned to the countryside, his neighbors were gossiping about him. He was depressed and didn't dare to go out. It was not until Liu Zhiyuan fought with others several times that no one dared to say anything.
Later, the original owner became depressed and ill, and it was Liu Zhiyuan who took care of her until she passed away.
Everyone in the village said that it was she who was a burden to Liu Zhiyuan, causing him to be unable to get married even at such an old age.
Thinking of this outcome, Mu Zhou decided not to be angry with this brother who seemed cold on the outside but was warm on the inside, and even called him "brother" for the first time.
"Brother, Beicheng is great, you should come to Beicheng too."
Liu Zhiyuan has studied for a few years, is literate, and is a careful and hardworking person. In North City, where there are development opportunities everywhere, he will definitely have a better future.
Liu Zhiyuan probably didn't expect her to suddenly call him brother. He was stunned for a moment before replying:
"I think you're still dreaming. You went to North City and were so happy that you didn't know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was."
Mu Zhou knew that this was how he spoke, so he didn't mind the sarcasm in his words and continued to persuade him:
"Now that you're here, we can still keep each other company and help each other."
After he said this, silence fell again.
Mu Zhou knew that he had heard it, so he didn't say anything more.
*
On the first night at Tan's house, Mu Zhou lay in this warm little bedroom and slept contentedly.
The next morning, Zhang Baozhen and his wife went to work. Before leaving, they specifically asked Tan Zeyu to take Mu Zhou to buy some daily necessities and clothes.
If Zhang Baozhen said so, Tan Zeyu might still find an excuse to refuse, but since his father Tan Zhen gave the order personally, he had no choice but to accept it.
Tan Zhen was a man who had led troops in battles in the past. Later, he injured his leg on the battlefield and retired behind the scenes, but his character remained the same and his three children in the family were managed in a military manner since childhood.
