After returning to Guiyuan Gate.

"Yunhui, have you packed your things? Let's go after packing."

Outside the house, Ning Xiu looked at Yun Hui who had just locked the door and asked.

"Young master, everything is packed."

Yun Hui had a cloth bag on her body, which contained some small and important items, not many things

Because mother Zhao Muhe's birthday was approaching, they packed their things early and prepared to go back.

"Okay, let's go."

Yun Hui glanced at Ning Xiu, then followed with a smile on her face and lowered her head: "Yes."

As soon as he went out, he saw Li Jin'er, who was dressed thickly, waiting there.

"You can count as going out, big girl, dress up."

Hearing that Ning Xiu wanted to go back, she was a little bit reluctant, and agreed with her family that she would also go to Ning Xiu's house and come back after playing for a few days.

Because he waited a little long, now Li Jiner started to talk about Ningxiu when he saw it, hugging him with both hands, deliberately not looking at him.

Ning Xiu pulled Li Jin'er and coaxed: "Okay, okay, my fault, my fault, can you forgive brother."

After coaxing for a while, he finally made the little girl happy, and when she got into the carriage, she was already talking and laughing.

Ning Xiu's home is not far from Guiyuan Gate, it is a mountain villa, the road has been opened up, even if it takes a horse-drawn carriage, it doesn't take much time.

About two hours later, it arrived.

Ning Xiu looked at the villa, which was covered by tall trees, a section of bluestone road leading to the gate from where the carriage got off, and a two-foot-high wall blocked the view inside.

This villa is divided into four areas, one is the round forest with a rockery fish pond, which is picturesque, one is the mother's residence, the other is the residence of the servants, and the last one is the place where sundries are piled up.

As soon as Ning Xiu arrived home, he was ushered into the door, and another person went to inform his mother. Looking at him, he should be a newcomer.

After a while, Ning Xiu and Li Jiner sat down in the main hall and saw their mother.

The white skin that has not been exposed to the scorching sun all year round, the eyebrows are as long as distant mountains, a pair of dark and clear eyes are like the finest warm black jade, the brilliance flows, the inner corners of the eyes are slightly depressed, and the outer corners of the eyes are slightly raised. The arc of the eyes is extremely perfect, and every frown and smile attracts infinite reverie.

Beautiful people.

The first time he saw Zhao Muhe, Li Jin'er knew why Ning Xiu was so handsome. If the two of them walked together, they would be like the sun hanging high in the sky, making it impossible to ignore.

Zhao Muhe looked at her quietly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Ning Xiu, who has always been nervous, also noticed the changes in the house at this time.

The house was originally empty, but at this time, antique calligraphy and paintings were hung in the right places, exquisite porcelain was arranged, and the new tables and chairs were spotlessly clean. Just sitting, the whole person seemed a little extravagant.

Although Zhao Muhe said that he could escape, he still had a lot of money to prepare. It was not a small expense to buy this villa and these items, and she didn't frown.

"Princess, please have some tea."

"Miss, please have some tea."

"Young master, please have some tea."

Three maids appeared, brought tea, and then stood around, their movements were well-behaved, and from Ning Xiu's point of view, there was nothing wrong with it.

Snapped!

"Oops..."

Li Jin'er was dressed thickly, and his hands and feet were a little slow. When he went to pick up the tea, he accidentally broke the teacup and spilled the hot tea all over the floor.

"Are you okay?"

Ning Xiu got up immediately to see if Li Jin'er had been burned. After a careful look, it turned out that he was not.

At this time, a gentle female voice came from behind: "It's really the same as Yang Shuxian, who can't get on the stage."

Li Jin'er didn't know what the word "table top" meant, but she saw how disgusted Zhao Muhe's expression was when he mentioned his mother.

It is said that faces come from the heart, but at this moment, she doesn't think so.

Ning Xiu frowned upon hearing this, but didn't say anything, but his heart was half cold.

Originally, he wanted to stay at Li Jiner's house to play for a few days before leaving, but because of this sentence, he had to give up.

...

At the dinner table, Zhao Muhe picked up the bamboo chopsticks: "Ning'er, eat."

"Um."

Ning Xiu nodded, his expression remained unchanged, and he ate seriously.

"You haven't been back for a long time. These are the dishes you like to eat. If you like them, eat more."

Having said that, Zhao Muhe thought of something again, and looked at the maid beside him:

"Lan Shi, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival?"

Lan Shi said: "Princess, don't worry, I bought all the things when I came back from the mountain two days earlier, and I can finish them today."

Zhao Muhe looked at her and said with a smile: "It's still you who are thoughtful."

"Mom, what am I doing?"

Zhao Muhe picked up a sweet and sour ball and put it into Ningxiu's bowl, his tone seemed to be comforting: "Ning'er, after dinner, you should have a good rest, you have worked hard in martial arts, this time when you come back, you should have a good rest first."

"oh."

After the meal, Zhao Muhe went back to the main hall and read quietly with a book.

After looking at it for a while, her eyes were a little sore, Zhao Muhe looked up and looked around, and the scroll hanging on the wall suddenly jumped into her eyes.

It was drawn by her, and it took two years to finish it.

Grinding it in his hand, he grinded out Tang Mo finely, and there was a purple wolf hair and rice paper next to it.

"Keeping it is also a thought."

"Is Ning'er resting now?"

Just thinking about Ning Xiu, Ning Xiu walked into the main hall. He had already taken off the long robe, and he was wearing a moon white gown with the cuffs rolled up to the elbows, and his hands were covered with white flour.

Zhao Muhe stopped him: "What are you going to do?"

Ning Xiu smiled brightly, changed his route and walked towards his mother: "I was making Lantern Festival just now, and I forgot something, I want to get it inside."

"Go, if you like, go."

I don't know why, this time my mother didn't get angry, and blamed him for forgetting the sage's teaching that "a gentleman should not be a cook", but followed his will.

"And what happened today, you won't blame your mother, will you?"

Ning Xiu, who was about to leave, stopped: "No."

"That's good."

The sound of the teacup being gently put down came from Zhao Muhe's room, and she lowered her head and sank between the books and ink again.

...

Lantern Festival.

In the kitchen, Yunhui was busy mixing glutinous rice flour with water into a skin, and she also got some powder on her face.

Ning Xiu was beside her, stirring a bowl of minced meat in his hand, and Xiuxiu was also helping.

She is good at cooking, so it's easy to make some glutinous rice balls.

Of course, cooking this time is not just to accompany Ning Xiu to cook. Today is his mother's birthday. When the food is ready, Ning Xiu will go to see Zhao Muhe and tell his mother about himself.

"Young master is at Guiyuanmen, how have you learned during this time?" Lan Shi asked while mixing various fillings.

Because Ning Xiu was peaceful and close to others, they were cooking together, and now they were bolder and asked about Ning Xiu.

"Very good, there is progress from time to time."

Ningxiu reconciled the minced meat, and handed it to Xiuxiu to wrap it up.

"My son is very talented. The leader of the Li family who is number one in the world often praises our son's understanding and talent. In the future, our son will become such a master."

Yun Hui said at this time.

Ning Xiu smiled: "I hope there will be that day."

Then, after wrapping up enough Lantern Festivals, they started cooking again. Xiuxiu's craftsmanship was far better than that of her mother's two maids.

Both Yun Hui and Lan Shi praised Xiuxiu, and then looked at Ning Xiu. Although Ning Xiu didn't say much about their relationship, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the two were not simple.

...

at the dinner party.

"Son, I wish my mother a happy birthday. When it is a good day, I will praise the time. Shoukao Weiqi, to introduce Jingfu."

Ning Xiu waited until his mother arrived, and immediately greeted her with blessings.

Zhao Muhe nodded slightly, "Ning'er, you have a heart."

"What's this?"

In turn, she shifted her gaze to the round box on the table.

"This is a birthday cake, for my birthday."

While explaining, Ning Xiu twisted the ribbon wrapped around the box with his fingers and tore it apart.

The cake was large and delicate, with many flowers painted on it. Zhao Muhe had never seen this thing before, and saw Ning Xiu stick eighteen small candles on it, lit it again, and told her what to do next.

"I still have to blow after ordering, is it troublesome?"

Zhao Muhe said he was complaining, but he was still happy in his heart.

She tilted her head, looked at the eighteen faint little flames on the table, and smiled sincerely, but her eyes were a little cold.

She came here and brought her son regardless of their threats, but was assassinated halfway, and Zhao Ning was almost killed. Now that Zhao Muhe thought of this incident again, she felt even more distressed for her son.

"call!"

The candle was extinguished, and Zhao Muhe began to make a wish, "I wish Ning'er peace, safety and health..."

"Mom, the wishes that you express won't work, and there's no way you can make so many wishes at once."

Ning Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and heard his mother say, "If you don't care about it, it will definitely come true."

Ning Xiu divided the cake and gave it to his mother first.

She scooped some butter with a fork and brought it into her mouth. The mouthful was sweet, dense and sticky, which was different from those pastries.

She felt tired after taking two bites, but she still couldn't bear to put down the fork. In the end, the tip of her tongue seemed to lose her sense of taste. There was only sweetness, a burst of sweetness, and she didn't feel so greasy after eating some fruits.

"Is it delicious?"

"The ones that Ning'er bought for me are all delicious." Zhao Muhe wiped his mouth with the handkerchief that Lan Shi handed over to him, "Where's that girl? Why didn't I see you calling over to let my mother see her?"

"this……"

Seeing Ning Xiu's embarrassed expression, Zhao Muhe said, "Since he is the person my son likes, he must be extraordinary, so I will bring you some time to have a look. Ning'er has grown up, you have your own opinions, and mother will not blame you of."

Hearing this, Ning Xiu immediately changed his face and said with a smile, "Just wait for the mother to speak."

Then, he turned around and yelled, but a moment later, a woman with her head bowed came to see Zhao Muhe and wished him all the best.

"Ning'er, you."

Zhao Muhe glanced at Ning Xiu, asked Xiuxiu to look up, asked her name, and asked her to sit down and eat together without asking any further questions.

"yes."

Xiuxiu saw that Ning Xiu also nodded, then sat down, behaved politely, and nothing went wrong.

After the meal, Zhao Muhe left Xiuxiu alone and said something to her.

After staying at home for a few days, Ning Xiu returned to Guiyuan Gate.
