Miss Mu and the Canary

Mu Yuan.

"Hello miss."

"Miss is back!"

The shiny leather shoes made a brisk kick, and Mu Xing briskly ran into the living room, only wanting to discuss little Azhen's illness with his father.The servant girl Fuguang was carrying a suitcase behind her, unable to catch up no matter what, she could only yell softly: "Miss, slow down, slow down!"

"It's a pity that I look forward to a beautiful woman, leaning against the railing... Huh!"

Mu Xing took a few steps up the stairs, and accidentally bumped into her grandmother, the old lady of the Mu family.

She took two steps back and stood firm: "Hey grandma! Are you scared, old man?"

The old lady is more than seventy years old, no matter how well she takes care of her, she is old and her ears are very dull.She frowned and asked, "What shrimp? What shrimp are you talking about? The lobster is not in season yet!" She almost fell down the stairs.

Mu Xing hurried up to support her, and helped her downstairs: "It's nothing, I said you can take it easy!"

"Squid? My son doesn't like eating squid now, so he has to eat fresh oysters!" Grandma trembling downstairs, still yelling.

Mu Xing: "No...hey, forget it, Fuguang, you can help me."

The servant girl hurried up to support the old lady.

Mu Xing helped the old lady to sit on the sofa, and asked Fuguang to fetch her new Lu'an melon slices and soak them in it.

"Grandma, didn't you say you want to rest in Tonghua Old House for a few more days?" Mu Xing asked grandma, "Why don't you come back without being notified, my second brother and I will pick you up."

The old lady took a sip of tea slowly, praised her, and then said: "Don't you like to eat fresh oysters? The oysters around Qingming are the fattest. When I was still in the old house yesterday, I told them to eat fresh oysters in the early morning." I told them to go to Haikou to get them, and I brought a box of yellow clams."

Mu Xing hurriedly said: "Thank you grandma, you really took the trouble."

Grandma Xu Xu said again: "Don't you like to eat boiled sea oysters the most? The new chef in the kitchen is a Western cook. I also told him to put more milk skin..."

"It must be very fresh, I can eat more tonight." Mu Xing was very supportive.

As she was talking, grandma suddenly sighed.

"Oh, I'm getting old. This sea oyster soup is clearly Negxue's favorite flavor. I misremembered. Axuan, you obviously hate sea oysters the most."

Mu Xing couldn't help but tremble when he heard his aunt's name.

She was allergic to seafood when she was a child, and what she hated most was sea oysters, so she said to her aunt who likes sea oysters, "I will never play with my aunt who smells of sea oysters again." Since then, my aunt has never eaten sea oysters.

"Such a good fresh oyster, if Negative Snow sees it, he will definitely have a 'seafood feast', a 'fresh oyster feast'..." Grandma shook her head, "You don't like sea oysters, Fuguang, you go call the kitchen Don't prepare this dish..."

"No need! No need..." Mu Xing hurriedly said, "I've been free of allergies for a long time, grandma, did you forget? In the past few years in the United States, I have changed my taste. Sea oysters are so delicious."

She persuaded her grandma softly: "Grandma, you are tired, go back to your room and rest, I will accompany you later, huh?"

After helping grandma back to the room, Mu Xing closed the door and couldn't help sighing.

Grandma is the one who loves aunt the most. After her aunt passed away, grandma couldn't afford to be ill, and her spirit was often in a trance, which made them worry a lot.

She was feeling sad when she suddenly saw her mother standing on the opposite floor looking at her.

She hurriedly brushed her hair, pressed down the raised skirt of the running, and smiled at her mother: "Mother."

Mrs. Mu looked at her daughter and confirmed that she didn't see any trace of men's clothing, and then she said with satisfaction: "Okay, come here, your father and I have something to say to you."

Mu Xing took a deep breath, regained his energy, ran all the way to the stairs, and put his arms around Mrs. Mu: "Mom!"

Mrs. Mu stroked her daughter's hair, and led her to the study: "How do you feel in the medical center?"

Mu Xing then told about his feelings in the medical center—naturally, the unfriendly part was omitted.

The two walked into the study, and Mu Xing hurriedly ran to Master Mu's desk: "Father! What kind of book are you talking about?"

Mrs. Mu sat down on the sofa and said, "Speaking of which, have you met Youcheng these few days?"

Mu Xing was fiddling with his father's stethoscope, he was taken aback for a moment, and then said nonchalantly, "Mother, why did you mention him."

"Hey, your mother and I called you here because of this." Master Mu said.

Hearing his father's words, Mu Xing had no choice but to put down the instrument, and sat down beside Mrs. Mu.

"When your aunt passed away, our family and the Song family were engaged before you went to America to study. Now that you have returned from studying abroad, this marriage should naturally be put on the agenda." Master Mu said.

"Just came back from the old house the day before yesterday, Mrs. Song sent someone to place an invitation card, inviting us to the Song Mansion for a gathering. I think it's about the wedding."

At the time of the engagement, Mu Xing was only sixteen years old and had no specific concept of marriage. In the past few years studying in the United States, he has seen a lot of "free love", and he has vague ideas about marriage and love, but it is only on paper. There are no fantasies.

But now, all fantasies have been shattered by Song Youcheng.

There may indeed be women who can accept their husbands being unfaithful, and even have three wives and four concubines, but she is definitely not such a person.

However, although she made up her mind to divorce, she did not plan to tell her parents until she communicated clearly with Song Youcheng.

She tentatively said: "Get married... Should I wait a little longer? I feel like I'm not ready yet..."

Mrs. Mu glanced at her: "Is there anything I need to prepare? What happens after you get married is what you need to care about."

Master Mu also said: "The child of the Song family has done some things in the past few years, and he has a good education. He is now working in Guangze Bookstore. I think he is also a serious and down-to-earth child. The only thing is that you have been independent since childhood. I have my own ideas, and your mother and I are rarely bound. Now that we are married, the Song family is a scholarly family, and the family rules are strict and orderly. We are only worried that you will not be able to adapt to the Song family, and you will have many worries."

House rules are strict, aren't they?Mu Xing couldn't help but slander.

Mrs. Mu sighed, and suddenly her eyes turned red: "Actually, mother can't bear to miss you. I only have two children, you and your eldest brother. Although your eldest brother is not married, he is far away in Nanjing. You have gone abroad with your second brother so much. In [-], I finally came back and got married again. I really... oh, no matter how good the Song family is, I really wish you got married a few years later. "

Mu Xing quickly moved over and hugged Mrs. Mu: "Mom! Since you said so, then I won't marry. I don't care about the Song family and the Liu family..."

Before he finished speaking, Mu Xing suddenly slapped Mrs. Mu: "What are you talking about, you child! How can you not marry!"

Mu Xing: "Okay, then I'll marry... go on, don't cry."

"My makeup is all gone..." Mrs. Mu gave Mu Xing a disgusted look: "You should hurry up and get married, really, your hair is still cut so short, how can you wear a wedding dress when the time comes? Let me worry. Do you still remember Mr. Lu Shui's divination for you? Look at your forehead! Don't wear those suits and robes of yours again, do you hear me?"

"Oh, I know, I know..." Mu Xing nodded helplessly.

In the next two days at the medical center, little Ah Zhen didn't show up, presumably because she hadn't finished taking the medicine, so naturally Bai Yan didn't come either.

Mu Xing still practiced in the Shantang in the morning, and studied as much as possible in the afternoon under Dr. Zhao's disgust.Fortunately, Doctor Zhang was kind-hearted, and gave Mu Xing the medical notes he had sorted out. He provided a lot of convenience, and Mu Xing was very grateful.

After a few days of such busy work, it was time to go to the Tang mansion for a banquet.

Tang Mansion is located in the British Concession, it is the mansion left by the warlord who was forced to go north. The mansion after renovation is extraordinary, streamlined European-style building, surrounded by lush gardens, its luxurious atmosphere needless to say.

Rows of cars stretch out outside the garden, like a winding black dragon, containing well-dressed people, just waiting for a glimpse of the bustling corner.

Mu Xing walked into the hall behind the elders, and the melodious and light piano music came rushing towards him. It was a mixed scent of fragrance and warmth, which was exactly the same as in the impression, always complicated, dull, and boring.

The elders greeted the greetings one after another, introduced, and the juniors like Mu Xing would naturally be pulled out one by one for the exhibition.Whether they like it or not, everyone is smiling, everything is so harmonious - except Mrs. Mu who stares at her daughter with dissatisfaction from time to time: remember you are the "female" son of the Mu family, not the son!Don't think that you can play wild in a suit!

Before going out today, Mu Xing acted coquettishly and shamelessly, finally got Mrs. Mu to agree to her wearing a suit.Faced with her mother's warning, of course she had no choice but to apologize with a low eyebrow, but she was determined not to repent.

Otherwise, what should I do, should she wear a skirt to tell Mr. Tang, hello, the person who went shopping with you that day is actually the eldest lady of the Mu family who is about to get married?

Then she probably can't have this face.

The elders had had enough of pleasantries, and finally decided to let the younger generation go and socialize by themselves.

As soon as he entered the arena, Mu Xing saw Li Yining, Wang Mengwei and Song Youcheng on both sides of the hall.

These three people were obviously ready to capture her, but she only wanted to see one person, so Mrs. Mu just let her go, and she hurried away with her second brother—no, no second brother.

"Second brother, go shopping by yourself, I want to play with the ladies, so as not to make you uncomfortable." Mu Xing pretended to be very considerate.

Mu Yun, who didn't know it, felt that his sister was really caring, and hurriedly withdrew into the men's group - but there were also many unmarried ladies who were staring at him covetously!

Finally able to stay alone, Mu Xing looked at Song Youcheng across the crowd, then turned around and left the hall, and walked into the garden.

She wanted to make it clear to Song Youcheng that she was annulling the engagement before the official preparations for the wedding began, and by the way, return the engagement bracelet to him.

Rubbing the sandalwood box in his hand, Mu Xing lowered his head and walked into the garden when a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Why did Mr. Mu come out alone?" It was Tang Yu.

He said with a smile: "Could it be that the master didn't entertain well and left Mr. Mu cold?"

Mu Xing hurriedly put away the sandalwood box, and greeted him politely and respectfully.While speaking, she glanced back, and saw Song Youcheng who was following behind, paused and retreated.

Either way, she wasn't ready to be listened to.

"I didn't recognize Mr. Tang that day, I was really ashamed." Mu Xing said.

Tang Yu said: "Mr. Mu will not return home soon, and I just arrived in Wenjiang, so it's normal that I can't recognize him."

After a few perfunctory words with him, Mu Xing was about to find an excuse to leave, when Tang Yu suddenly said: "Speaking of which, there are quite a few friends here today, and the banquet is so restrained, I have the idea of ​​having another reunion, naturally , and ultimately..." He made an expression of "everyone understands", "I wonder if Mr. Mu would like to show his face and come together for a get-together?"

Mu Xing accurately received his hint.

Does he want to... go to the hall again?

She immediately became interested: "That's naturally good!"
