"Your master?"
Zhao Mu looked at the young servant riding a horse in front of him and subconsciously became alert.
"I don't remember having any old friends in Juancheng.”
The servant hurriedly apologized,"Please forgive me, sir. My master is the eldest daughter of Cao Gong, Miss Qinghe!"”
Cao Qinghe?
Zhao Mu's expression relaxed.
"Where are we going?"
"Merlin in the north of the city!"
……
It was currently winter, and although the plum blossoms had yet to bloom, they were still in bud.
Within the Merlin.
Two young girls were playing, while a somewhat frail youth was sitting beside a tree in a daze, as if he did not understand what was worth playing with in this plum forest.
The young man's name was Cao Shuo, and he was Cao Ang's younger brother. He was only six years old this year.
The identity of the playful girl was obvious.
Da! Da! Da!
The sound of horse hooves could be heard at the entrance of the Merlin.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves, one of the girls waved enthusiastically,""Brother Zhao, here!"
The girl was Cao Cao's eldest daughter, Cao Qinghe!
Zhao Mu rode his horse closer and saw a young man and a young woman beside Cao Qinghe. He guessed,""Could it be that this young man is the child prodigy Cao Shuo?”
Cao Shuo was young and could not be praised. He bowed shyly and said,"Junior Cao Shuo greets Big Brother Zhao!”
"Call me brother-in-law!" Zhao Mu corrected.
Cao Shuo was still in a daze, while Cao Qinghe's face was already red with embarrassment.""Brother Zhao, don't talk nonsense. We're not married yet!”
The young girl beside him sized up Zhao Mu curiously, as if she was quite puzzled as to why Zhao Mu was so reckless.
"Sooner or later!" Zhao Mu didn't care about these formalities. He looked at the unfamiliar girl and asked,""Qinghe, this lady, is she your friend?”
Cao Qinghe introduced," Brother Zhao, this is Uncle Miaocai's niece, Xiahou Juan. Her parents died early, so Uncle Miaocai has been raising her."”
"Among the same generation, I am the closest to Sister Juan in age and also the best.”
Xiahou Juan?
Xiahou Yuan's niece?
Zhao Mu could not help but think of a person.
The girl that Zhang Fei snatched from Qiao County, Xiahou Yuan's niece!
Could it really be this person in front of him?
Zhao Mu didn't have the so-called discerning eyes or the mind, so he couldn't see Xiahou Juan's identity.
However, this was not important.
More importantly, Xiahou Juan was good-looking, not inferior to Cao Qinghe. Cough cough…
"So it's Miss Xia Hou. Greetings, Zhao Mu!”
"Mister is too polite. Sister Qinghe has been talking about Mister for a long time and is too shy to come alone!”
"Xiahou Juan, don't talk nonsense. Who's shy? Do I look like someone who would be shy?"
"If you're not shy, why did you drag me along?”
"Xiahou Juan, I saw that you were too bored at home. Besides, isn't Xiao Shuo here too?”
"I'm not bored at home. I can even play the piano!”
" Xiahou Juan, you did it on purpose, didn't you?"
"Sister, I'm hungry."
“……”
In an instant, Cao Shuo shouted,"Sister, I'm hungry."”，Cao Qinghe and Xiahou Juan stopped talking.
Cao Qinghe's face turned red again!
What was going on!
Forget about Xiahou Juan, why was his own brother here to ruin the atmosphere?
If he had known earlier, he would have come alone!
Cao Qinghe was depressed.
He felt that he had lost a lot of face in front of Zhao Mu today!
"Call me brother-in-law. How about I treat you to grilled fish?”Zhao Mu squatted in front of Cao Shuo and smiled.
Cao Shuo glanced at Cao Qinghe and rubbed his belly. He took a deep breath and shouted timidly,""Brother-in-law!"
"Haha! Just because you called him brother-in-law, no matter what happens in the future, brother-in-law will protect you. If anyone dares to bully you, tell your brother-in-law and I'll beat him up!”Zhao Mu patted Cao Shuo's shoulder. He was quite fond of his brother-in-law.
Although Cao Shuo was Cao Ang's younger brother, he died early.
There was no record of how he died.
However, Zhao Mu guessed that this was probably related to Cao Pi.
Cao Shuo was raised by Lady Bian, but he died when he was underage.
Regardless of whether it was related to Cao Pi or not, Zhao Mu had to protect this youth just because Cao Shuo called him brother-in-law!
"Thank you, brother-in-law!"
Seemingly sensing Zhao Mu's goodwill, Cao Shuo's courage grew a little.
"Let's go, brother-in-law will bring you to catch fish!”
Looking at Cao Shuo who was following Zhao Mu, Cao Qinghe couldn't help but stomp his feet."If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have brought you along!”
Xiahou Juan covered her mouth and chuckled." Sister Qinghe, Xiao Shuo even called me brother-in-law. Why don't you call me husband?"”
"Alright! You still dare to tease me? I'll tell Uncle Miao Cai to introduce you to a young master from an aristocratic family!”Cao Qinghe snorted.
Xiahou Juan was instantly embarrassed." Sister Qinghe, I was wrong. I'm still young. I don't want to get married!"”
While playing, Zhao Mu had already caught four grass carps.
When he was a fisherman in Si River, Zhao Mu had learned how to catch fish with one hand.
With a knock of the flint, the fire was ignited.
On the simple grill, four washed grass carps gradually emitted a fragrance in the fire.
"It smells so good!" Cao Qinghe and Xiahou Juan couldn't help but twitch their noses.
