Absolutely! My maid was reborn after time travel

On the morning of New Year's Eve, the snow finally stopped.

Red lanterns were decorated everywhere in Shen's mansion, making it a joyful scene.

Shen Qinglan was learning paper-cutting with Yan'er in Wenlan Courtyard, but after a while she didn't want to cut anymore.

This thing is indeed more convenient to make industrially. Those craftsmen are so amazing that she can't do it at all.

"Miss, the boy at the second door brought a box of hibiscus cakes, saying they were from Shuibilou." Xing'er entered the room with a box of cakes.

"Shui Bi Lou? Why did you bring hibiscus cake?" Yan'er was confused.

"But I want to give back to old customers. After all, I bought a lot of pastries from him this year!"

Shen Qinglan asked Xing'er to put down the hibiscus cake. Fu'er walked over and opened it, only to find a letter inside.

"Miss!"

Shen Qinglan opened the letter, and there was only one short sentence in it.

"Sisi sister An, I wish you good health in the coming year."

Yan'er came over and saw the words on it, and whispered: "It can't be sent by the young Marquis."

Shen Qinglan also thought it might be Mu Xingze, but the handwriting on it was not very similar. Maybe it was ghostwritten by someone from Shuibilou? -

The snow stopped in Luoping City, but it was snowing heavily in Kyoto.

In front of Yaoying Pavilion in Nanyang Marquis Mansion, Mu Xingze had just finished practicing his spear and wanted to take a rest. The boy came over and sent a message saying that Madam Marquis had asked him to go to Chu Yuyuan.

"My mother never calls me over at this time of day. What happened today?" Mu Xingze asked.

"Miss Wei is here, so Mrs. Hou asked you to come over and talk together." The boy replied.

Mu Xingze was reluctant, but he could not disobey his mother's order and went directly without changing his clothes.

In the inner hall of Chu Yuyuan, Mrs. Hou was holding Wei Junqiao to talk about herself. Recently, she had been very close to Miss Wei and she was very satisfied with her future daughter-in-law.

After Mu Xingze entered the house, he first greeted his mother and said, "Mom, my son still has a lot of homework to do today, so I won't disturb him."

"You kid, what are you talking about? It's rare for Miss Wei to come here. It's the New Year these days, so what if we have to wait until we finish our homework?" said Mrs. Hou.

Mu Xingze never raised his head. He knew that his mother wanted to bring him and Miss Wei together, so she called him here.

It's just that the mother's words were a little clumsy, after all, Wei Junqiao ran here every two days.

"Mrs. Hou, it's actually okay. I've been reading recently, and I happen to have something I don't understand, so I want to ask Mr. Hou for advice." Wei Junqiao said.

"That's just right. You can go to Yaoying Pavilion with Xingze. Xingze often reads and practices there." Mrs. Hou said with a kind smile on her face and patted her hand.

"Mother, it is very inconvenient for a man and a woman to be alone. My son is not knowledgeable and dare not answer Miss Wei's questions."

Mu Xingze refused to let him go thousands of miles away, and Mrs. Hou also looked a little confused.

"The young Marquis is too modest. Who doesn't know that the young Marquis has learned a lot and is rich?" Wei Junqiao stood up and said.

"Miss Wei, thank you. I don't have that much knowledge, I just know a few words. Mother, Miss Wei, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After Mu Xingze said that, he turned around and left. Wei Junqiao looked at his back, his face turned blue, and anger instantly rose in his heart.

Her son was so ruthless that Mrs. Hou didn't know how to comfort her. She only said: "Jun Qiao, our Xingze has this temper, don't mind."

Wei Junqiao raised the corner of his mouth, "I don't know why, but the young marquis hates me so much. How can our two families get married?"

Mrs. Hou pulled her to sit down, "It's not that Xingze hates you, it's just... he's always had a cold temper."

"Madam, there is no need to hide it from me. I know that the young Marquis has a childhood sweetheart in Luoping City. It is said that she has the beauty of a country. She also had a secret love for the young Marquis, and the two of them may have been privately engaged for life."

When Mrs. Hou heard this, she quickly denied it: "How is this possible? Our family, Xingze, has been very strict since we were young. Marriage is nothing more than the words of the matchmaker ordered by our parents. How can we make a private life decision with someone?"

?”

"But many people in Luoping City have heard of this incident, and Jun Qiao can't believe it. Maybe someone deliberately spread such rumors, and maybe it will ruin the reputation of the young marquis." Wei Junqiao said.

Mrs. Hou took her hand and said, "My Xingze does have a childhood playmate. He can't be said to be a childhood sweetheart. He just had some friendship with his wife when my wife was still alive."

"Madam, is that woman really beautiful?" Wei Junqiao asked.

She really wanted to know what kind of person Shen Qinglan was, so much so that after all this time, Mu Xingze still couldn't forget her.

"Beauty... is just a bit of beauty. As for the idea of ​​a country and a city, that's probably a misinformation. Originally, she was going to marry the son of Meng Taishou, the former governor of Luoping City, but something happened later, and it turned out to be her concubine.

Married to the prefect's mansion."

Mrs. Hou deliberately mentioned this matter so that Wei Junqiao would put down his guard against Shen Qinglan.

Wei Junqiao was indeed very interested after hearing this, "Meng Taishou of Luoping City? I seem to have heard of it. Is it the Meng Taishou who was dismissed and beheaded some time ago?"

Mrs. Hou nodded, "Yes, in Luoping City at that time, the Meng family was very popular. Later, the Meng family's legitimate son got together with her concubine and broke off the engagement with her."

"So, this young lady is nothing more than that." Wei Junqiao couldn't help but sneered.

"Their family is originally a merchant, and they are not a good match for my Xingze family. Moreover, since the death of my wife, our two families have had little contact. As for the rumors of a private life-long arrangement, they are just rumors spread by villains." Hou

The lady said.

"Well, if that's the case, then I'm relieved. Jun Qiao is still afraid that there will always be another person living in the heart of the young marquis. If your Majesty really grants marriage in the future, the two of us will end up being strangers.

.”

"How could it be? Miss Wei is as smart as snow and as beautiful as a flower. If His Majesty really grants marriage, it will be a blessing to my Xingze family." Mrs. Hou smiled, her face seemed to be blooming.

If the Mu and Wei families really get married, it will ensure that the Mu family will prosper for hundreds of years.

When Mu Xingze returned to Yaoying Pavilion, Zhao Shun was standing in front of the hall playing with his spear.

"Why is uncle here?"

Zhao Shun put down the spear and said, "Xingze has grown a lot taller. I heard that you have been practicing spear recently. How is your practice going?"

"Uncle, do you want to give it a try?"

Mu Xingze was feeling unhappy and wanted to have a fight with someone. Now that his cousin was here, he just wanted to test how much progress he had made recently.

"Forget it. All I practice is fighting skills. I'm afraid I might hurt you." Zhao Shun declined politely.

"Uncle, please don't look down on me. It's not certain who will win or lose."

Zhao Shun laughed and said, "Okay, let's give it a try?"
