Chapter 1312: Chapter 68: The Last Day of the Third Year of Ming Country
Before they were promoted by rchants, the people of Ming never had the custom of celebrating Christmas.
By December 23rd of the lunar calendar, the annual festivities truly began.
Preparing various foods, cleaning the house, buying fireworks, and reuniting with family.
The brothers around Wang Yunxiao were all orphans, and after being sent to Qinghe Middle School, celebrating the New Year was just about having a bowl of noodles.
Around this ti last year… they were either working overti or in the hospital, and there was no interest in celebrating the New Year.
This year, they could finally take it easy.
However, it was still difficult to gather everyone.
Dumpling had already started a family and there was nothing to say about celebrating the New Year with his wife.
Wormwood and others were recruited by the army and there was no talk of New Year holidays.
Guozi, being the chief of the Nantong District Special Service Departnt, had to be on duty at the police station during the New Year.
Youtiao was going to Chen Yan’s ho.
Wang Yunxiao originally planned to gather the remaining brothers for a reunion dinner, but unexpectedly, Boss Mu called, asking him to bring Li Mumu ho for a New Year’s dinner at King Mu’s Mansion.
Young Master Huang had finally left.
In fact, he was just looking for a quiet place to read for a couple of days.
And also to inspect his trusted little brothers.
Once Young Master Huang left, Li Ya quietly appeared like a ghost, reclaiming her position as the lady of the house.
How powerful Professor Li was, Wang Yunxiao couldn’t really comnt, but her skills in pursuing profit and avoiding harm were truly astonishing.
She always managed to perfectly evade all unfavorable fates.
In this aunt, Wang Yunxiao couldn’t see any inertia of fate.
Mu Yuming’s relationship with King Mu’s Mansion couldn’t be considered good, especially after those distant relatives sched against him and Li Mumu, Mu Yuming didn’t spare them any face.
This led to a near-breakup in relations.
Of course, it was a one-sided breakup.
If Mu Yuming were to show a bit of goodwill, those relatives who claid they’d never communicate again would imdiately rush over and kneel to please him.
This year, the New Year’s Eve dinner wasn’t sothing Mu Yuming wanted to attend.
The main reason was that the old man was not in good health and, hearing that Li Mumu was engaged, wanted to see her one last ti.
The old man lived a life of war; surviving to this age was a miracle.
Whether in terms of status, prestige, or age, he had reached an age where he could do as he pleased.
He personally called to invite; even so, soone as high as the President would have to give him so face.
Wang Yunxiao had no objections; it didn’t matter where he spent the New Year as long as Boss Mu could handle his wife. Everything else was not a problem.
His impression of King Mu’s Mansion was actually quite good.
Mainly because of Mu Yusha and the braised pork knuckles.
If there were no surprises, this ti the Archbishop should also return.
Wang Yunxiao’s relationship with her was actually very strong; after all, they had shared the relationship of having their feet washed together.
It was just that fate played its tricks, and both had to attend to their duties, drifting further on their respective paths.
Thinking back now, it’s been more than half a year since they last contacted each other.
Who knows if she returns this year, whether her first task would still be sneaking into the kitchen to steal pork knuckles.
“Last ti I went to King Mu’s Mansion, I was dressed as a man.”
Wang Yunxiao didn’t mind, but Li Mumu was very conflicted.
Distant relatives, who knew they would visit a second ti?
Thinking back was quite embarrassing, and she wished she could dig a duplex apartnt with her toes.
Back then, she hadn’t thought about getting married, yet the old man was earnestly asking whether her cross-dressing was a hobby or if she truly aspired to achieve sothing on her own.
Within a year, she got married.
“The old man even said he was almost about to go, wanted to see you one last ti. Why do you care about those things?”
Wang Yunxiao thought there was no need for her to be so conflicted: “On top of that, you’re already my wife. In the future, you’ll be living with , not with others, so why care what others think? Did your mom ever bother with such things?”
Li Mumu thought to herself it wasn’t about other people’s concerns, it was her own embarrassnt.
Between spouses, anything goes, like covering the other’s head with a quilt, shouting to take dicine while farting under the covers… but such things shouldn’t be seen by outsiders, not even her own mom.
“Maybe think about it from another angle.”
Seeing her being so stubborn, Wang Yunxiao decided to change tactics.
“Last year, when your little aunt and I went to King Mu’s Mansion, the family thought we were the perfect couple. Shouldn’t you assert your sovereignty this year?”
“Perfect couple, my ass!”
As they say, bitter dicine is effective; after this dose, Li Mumu’s embarrassnt was instantly cured.
“That White Hair…”
“Stop talking bad about people behind their backs, aren’t you also white-haired?”
“That’s my Dharma Body… Do you know people like her with naturally white hair, if they don’t color their eyebrows black, it looks particularly terrible? In ancient Europe, blond Caucasians weren’t well-received because of this.”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Why argue with a woman?
Wang Yunxiao quickly conceded: “My wife is the most beautiful, the peerless beauty of the world! Both beautiful and tasty, with color, aroma, and flavor all complete!”
“Are you talking about or the pork knuckles?”
Because Wang Yunxiao kept ntioning King Mu’s Mansion’s braised pork knuckles, Li Mumu’s salivary cravings were also triggered.
Annoying, I didn’t get to eat it last year.
This year, I’m going to make sure to take so ho!
…
On New Year’s Eve, Mu Yuming took his family to King Mu’s Mansion, using two cars.
