In the past three years, the Yang family has undergone earth-shaking changes. The original dilapidated courtyard has long disappeared, replaced by a brand-new courtyard among green mountains and rivers. The courtyard is built on the mountain, with white walls and black tiles, and several antique houses stacked one on top of the other.
, well-proportioned, elegant yet exquisite.
In the stable not far from the entrance of the courtyard, several healthy horses were eating fodder leisurely and snoring from time to time.
'We do have a visitor at home!'
Li Jie had purchased a horse specifically to make traveling to and from Lin'an Prefecture easier. The three extra horses must have been ridden by guests. One of the horses, a bay-red horse, was extremely handsome, with its head raised high as if it disdains the other horses to share the same stable.
On the way back, Li Jie had already guessed the identity of the visitor. Now that he saw this distinctive bay-red horse, he could almost confirm the identity of the visitor. I'm afraid he was a member of Guo Jing's family.
In the main hall, Mu Nianci proudly introduced his son to Guo Jing and his wife, and his eyes seemed to be shining with some kind of light as he spoke.
"Brother Guo, if you come here two years earlier, I'm afraid you won't be able to see this yard. Every brick and tile in this yard was earned over time."
Guo Jing picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, showing an interested look. He had not been in the world for many years. This time he went out mainly to find his father-in-law Huang Yaoshi, who had been away from home for many years. When passing through Lin'an, he wanted to visit him for many years.
My elder sister Mu Nianci, whom I had not seen before, came back to the ancestral home to have a look.
At that time, in Jiaxing Iron Spear Temple, Huang Rong exposed Yang Kang for killing Ouyang Ke and blaming the death of Jiangnan Seven Monsters on Huang Yaoshi. Yang Kang tried to kill Huang Rong with the Nine Yin White Bone Claw to silence him, but Huang Rong had previously inspected Jiangnan Seven Monsters on Peach Blossom Island.
While looking at the corpse, Nan Xiren, who had been poisoned by Ouyang Feng's snake venom, hit him with a palm before he died. The snake venom remained on the soft hedgehog armor he was wearing. Yang Kang's "Nine Yin White Bone Claws" hit the same position without any bias.
, causing Yang Kang to be accidentally poisoned by snake venom.
Yang Kang's death was a complete mistake. It would be far-fetched to say that Huang Rong killed him. When the two parties met again, Huang Rong did not dare to tell Mu Nianci the truth, but only told him that Yang Kang died from Ouyang Feng's snake venom.
For so many years, Mu Nianci always thought that Yang Kang died at the hands of Ouyang Feng, whose martial arts was ten times better than hers. Mu Nianci knew that she could not avenge this revenge, and she was quite strong by nature, so she was too embarrassed to ask Guo Jing to help her avenge her.
.
Therefore, she buried this hatred deeply in her heart. She also did not dare to tell her son, for fear that when he grew up, he would seek revenge on Ouyang Feng. Ouyang Feng was nicknamed Xidu. He was the top master in the world in his early years. Now
Her martial arts skills must have improved to a higher level. To seek revenge against him would be like hitting a stone with an egg. Her heart is entirely focused on her son now, and of course she doesn't want him to know about this.
Guo Jing also knew that it was not easy for orphans and widowed mothers in this world. Why didn't he want to visit their mother and son more over the years? But firstly, he always felt guilty for Yang Kang's death. Secondly, Huang Rong was jealous. In the early years, he and Mu Nian
Ci was already engaged, so she didn't even dare to make this request to avoid suspicion.
Furthermore, although Mu Nianci's martial arts was not first-class, it was by no means ordinary. It would not be a problem to feed a child. This meeting he also put aside his worries. It seemed that Mu Nianci's life was pretty good.
It made him feel less guilty.
"Brother Guo, when you passed by Jiaxing or Lin'an, have you ever eaten preserved eggs?"
Songhua eggs quickly became popular in Lin'an City as soon as they were launched. After such a long period of fermentation, both fame and output have greatly increased, and gradually began to spread to the surrounding areas. Guo Jing doesn't care much about what he eats. In his opinion, food can fill him up.
Just the stomach.
On the other hand, his wife Huang Rong is different. Her cooking skills are superb and her accomplishments in food are among the few in the world. Naturally, she pays special attention to the new thing of pine flower eggs. She is thoughtful and thoughtful. When Mu Nianci mentioned pine flower eggs,
Dan thought.
'Is it possible that this thing has something to do with that boy?'
"Sister Mu, is it possible that the preserved eggs were made by Guo'er?"
Mu Nianci smiled and nodded: "Sister Rong, you are still so smart. Yes, the preserved eggs were indeed made by Guo'er. This child not only makes money by himself, but also helps the village. Now, every household in Niujia Village
They are all making preserved eggs.”
"good!"
Guo Jing was a simple and upright man by nature, who valued filial piety and righteousness. He always believed that "if you are poor, you can be alone, and if you are rich, you can help the world." Li Jie's move was obviously very to his liking, and he couldn't help but applaud him, otherwise he would not have rashly planned to talk to others.
.
"Mom! I'm back. I see there are a few more horses in the stables outside. Are there guests at home?"
Before Guo Jing could apologize, he heard a voice as gentle as jade coming from outside the door. It felt like a spring breeze, and he followed the sound and secretly praised it in his heart.
What a handsome young man!
He has star-shaped eyebrows and sword-like eyes, and is handsome in appearance. He is dressed in a moon-white robe, with a light blue jade hairpin on his head. He carries a bookcase made of bamboo and rattan on his back, and he has a strong air of elegance.
Huang Rong looked out the door and saw Li Jie's appearance, and thought to herself that this boy was born with a good body, even more handsome than his father who was a thief and a father. She lamented that when he grows up, he doesn't know how many people he will seduce.
The soul of a girl.
Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Guo Fu looking confused, she spat secretly, and then gave her a gentle push without leaving any trace. Guo Fu came to her senses with a start, and a blush quietly appeared on her face.
.
"Guo'er, why did you come back so early today?" Mu Nianci looked very happy when her son came back suddenly, with a smile on her lips. Then she remembered that there were guests at home, so she said instead: "Come here, come here, come here.
Let me introduce you to two elders, this is your Uncle Guo Shi, and this is your Aunt Guo."
"Ah, look, I forgot, this is your younger sister Guo Fu!"
Although Li Jie had already guessed the identities of everyone, who else could the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes be but Guo Jing, the extremely charming woman must be Huang Rong, and the yellow-haired girl standing next to Huang Rong must be Guo Fu, but every time
After Mu Nianci introduced everyone, Li Jie still pretended to meet them for the first time, bowing and calling out one by one.
"Uncle Guo Shi!"
"Aunt Guo!"
"Guo Shimei!"
The reactions of the three people were all different. Guo Jing looked very appreciative and nodded in response with a smile. This boy was obviously different from his father. He was quite benevolent and righteous. He knew how to benefit the village at a young age and would definitely not follow Yang Kang's path in the future.
Huang Rong's reaction was a little cold. She was secretly angry. This guy almost took away her daughter's soul. How could she give Li Jie a good look? But she was an elder after all, so she was not too cold, just not salty.
He nodded calmly.
Guo Fu looked a little shy, lowered her head, looked at her toes shyly, and called out softly.
