auspicious time has come

Chapter 39

This is also one of the reasons why it becomes more and more difficult to find people as time goes by.

"Everything in the world has its own laws of growth and decline. And a person's growth and change, even though the surface seems to be very different from when he was a child, there must be traces to follow." Hengyu said: "I can try to use it The old appearance when I was young, roughly portrays the current appearance."

"This..." The mother-in-law was very surprised, and even more suspected that the little girl was talking big - she had never heard of such a skill!

"Painter Ji's words are serious?" Mrs. Wen stared closely at the girl who spoke.

The girl nodded calmly and confidently.

"Then there will be a painter of Lao Ji!" Mrs. Wen ordered immediately: "Quickly, go and get Yuan'er's portrait!"

When her daughter just disappeared, the family invited a very famous painter to paint a portrait for the purpose of tracing. She picked the most similar one and kept it.

The mother-in-law responded, still sighing in her heart—the eldest lady really went to the doctor in a hurry this time, just a paintbrush, how can she draw what she will look like 20 years later out of thin air?
It is really a dare to say, a dare to believe.

The eyes of the old servant who passed by the window and heard the conversation flickered violently.

"Not only do we need old portraits, but we also need Ling'ai's temperament and hobbies when he was young. Do you remember clearly?" Heng Yu asked.

Mrs. Wen smiled with tears: "I remember... I remember everything."

The mother-in-law was ordered to fetch a pen and paper, and Hengyu picked out the key points from what Mrs. Wen said, and wrote them down one by one.

"It will take some time to deduce the portrait, please wait patiently for a while." Heng Yu handed the portrait of the girl and the notes to Jiji, and said to Mrs. Wen before leaving.

Mrs. Wen insisted on getting up again to thank: "Thank you, Painter Ji."

Hengyu returned a salute: "Mistress, please rest at ease. I need to inquire about details in another day, and the younger generation will visit again."

Mrs. Wen nodded, and with the support of her mother-in-law, she watched Heng Yu leave here.

Hengyu stepped out of Mrs. Wen's courtyard, walking a little slower.

Someone is following her—

Although she doesn't know any kung fu in the strict sense, her childhood experience also allowed her to develop her own keen perception of the outside world.

Sure enough, someone quickly caught up.

"Please stay."

It was a slightly hoarse male voice.

Hengyu stopped, but didn't look back.

The other party quickly walked to her side, and then knelt down straight towards her.

This kneeling was undoubtedly very sudden.

Heng Yu looked at the old servant of the Meng family who was kneeling in front of him, and quietly clenched the fingers in his sleeves.

It's Cheng Ping.

"If the girl can really find my girl back, I will be a cow and a horse, and I will repay you with all my heart!"

The man has his own judgment on everything. He listened outside the window for a long time, and he knew in his heart that the girl in front of him was definitely not talking big!
And this girl didn't say things that don't ask for anything in return like most people who do good deeds——

"If you can really find him back, you don't need to worry about it—" Heng Yu looked at him, pursed his lips slightly, and said, "At that time, I just need you to do one thing for me."

To be precise, it was to answer her question.

She decided to help Mrs. Wen today because of her inner drive.

But if she can use this matter to achieve her goals, she has no reason not to use it.

She never thinks about whether the so-called good deeds must be completely pure, both are what she wants to do, do it from the heart, nothing more.

"Don't say one thing, even if it's ten or a hundred, I won't say anything else." Cheng Ping said in a steady voice, with forceful words.

Heng Yu nodded: "I hope this agreement will be fulfilled one day—"

Although Cheng Ping is a man of few words, he can be seen to be a very proud and stubborn person. If such a person can't find a way out, most of them will not accept softness and toughness - and if he can use this to make him speak, it may be the best shortcut.

But she is not so naive as to bet all her hopes on this agreement.

It is not an easy task for anyone to find a child who has been lost for 20 years.

Even though she was never willing to admit defeat, she had to admit that it was still luck that determined the outcome in many cases.

And before fate intervenes, all she has to do is do her best.

……

As it was getting late, it began to rain in Yingzhou City.

At first the rain was only misty, but Xiao Mu, who had left the city early in the morning to practice soldiers, braved the rain and fog to bring his men back to the city from the barracks.

"Master Hou is back!"

The doorman rushed up with an umbrella.

A lantern was already lit outside the gate of the Hou Mansion. When Xiao Mu stepped up the stone steps, he saw raindrops jumping under the dim light, and his thoughts were pulled away for a moment.

He has been dreaming of that rainy night lately.

Rain, damp, cold, dark.

There are also little girls crying in their dreams in fear and anxiety.

"Ma'am, wait for the gentleman to come back for dinner..." The old servant holding the umbrella said with a smile.

This time Mr. Lang took back the Qianqiu City, which greatly deterred those Beidi aliens. Everyone in the mansion said that Mr. Lang could finally rest for a while, and he could go back to the mansion to eat with his wife more often.

Of course, it would be even better if they marry a Mrs. Hou while they are free!

Recently, everyone in the Hou Mansion has been thinking about it.

This is why Xiao Mu has always felt that the eyes of the whole family looking at him with inexplicable hope these days - General Xiao was very puzzled by this, the six cities have been recovered, the defense has not been relaxed, what is there is still lacking ?

If the servant could hear the voice in his heart, he would have to answer clearly - lack!Too short!You are so short of a daughter-in-law!

In the eyes of everyone, Xiao Mu, who was very short of a daughter-in-law, went directly to Mrs. Xiao.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Xiao frequently brought food to Xiao Mu.

"Although the taste is not much different to you, you still have to eat some of them."

"Yes, thank you mother."

Madam Xiao's close wife looked at Lang Jun sitting there, and sighed silently.

Mr. Lang can't taste any flavor easily, and his sense of taste is extremely dull. Madam has searched many doctors for this, but to no avail.

After dinner, Mrs. Xiao put down her chopsticks and said to her son: "Jing Shi, don't go back in a hurry, mother has something very important to ask you."

Seeing her serious eyes, Xiao Mu didn't dare to be careless, and immediately answered "Yes".

After rinsing her mouth and hands, Madam Xiao withdrew the servants, and soon there were only mother and son left in the hall.

"I don't know what's important for mother?" Xiao Mu asked seriously.

"Mother asks you, it will be Ah Heng's birthday in a few days, have you prepared the birthday gift yet?"

Xiao Mu: "...?"

Is this what mother said was extremely important?
Mrs. Xiao responded to him with her eyes - isn't it important?
Xiao Mu was silent for a moment, and said: "Since Painter Ji is a female family member, this matter must be decided by the mother."

"Mother has prepared it, but it belongs to mother." Mrs. Xiao said earnestly: "What you prepare yourself is your wish!"

His mind?
Xiao Mu was silent, and subconsciously glanced at the fruit knife beside him.

Do you want to send a knife to warn the other party?
