On the wide street, Mu Yunjin strolled aimlessly. She completely couldn't think of any birthday gift for Chu Li. Slowly she wandered until she unconsciously walked to the door of the Xiang Fu. She thought to pretend to not pay attention and leave but suddenly she thought of Mu Yunhan. Therefore, she entered the door of the Xiang Fu.

She will ask Mu Yunhan about birthday gift ideas, perhaps he will have a solution. It is better than wandering around.

When the housekeeper saw Mu Yunjin's figure, he immediately welcomed her. He approached Mu Yunjin and bend his waist to bow.

"This lowly one pays his respect to Liu huang zi fei."

"Is my brother inside the Fu?"

Mu Yunjin asked as soon as she entered the door. The housekeeper shook his head.

"Young Master entered the Palace this morning and still has not yet returned."

"En, then I will wait."

Mu Yunjin walked to the front hall, at this moment no one is inside the front hall. She then walked to the rear garden. Upon stepping into the garden, the sound of Mu Xiarou can be heard.

"Mother, look at this, daddy gave this gold bracelet to me yesterday, isn't this good-looking?"

Mu Yunjin approached the garden pavilion and saw Mu Xiarou and Luo Ningyu happily drinking tea.

"En, it looks good."

Luo Ningyu laughed and nodded.

"Daddy has been recently paying more attention to this daughter. From time to time he would send people to give me new clothes and jewelries. He doesn't even go to Pearl building nowadays and completely snubbed fourth sister."

Mu Xiarou giggled happily. Having heard what was said, Luo Ningyu shook her head at Mu Xiarou.

"Rou'er, you must not make irresponsible remarks."

"Yes mother."

Hearing the mother-daughter chat, Mu Yunjin pursed her lips and made a detour to leave, pretending not to see them.

After returning to Ascending Flower Pavilion, Mu Yunjin went to her former bedroom. She saw that the furnishings are just like when before she got married. Moreover, the table had no dust, indicating that someone frequently comes to clean.

Mu Yunjin moved to the rocking chair and sat down to wait for Mu Yunhan to return.

"The household management of San Furen (Third Madam) is much better compared to Da Furen (First Madam)."

Zi Xiang looked around before looking at Mu Yunjin.
Mu Yunjin smiled.

"Yes ah, now that Su Biqing is dead, and Wei Hanqiao happens to be almost insane. San Furen finally achieved success."

Zi Xiang did not really understand.

"Fifth Miss' temperament is much better than before, she is not arrogant and willful."

"En, but I don't know what Mu Lingzhu is up to nowadays."

Mu Yunjin casually said. She is not convinced that Mu Lingzhu has learned her lesson and is content with her life.

……….

After half an hour of sitting inside the Ascending Flower Pavilion. Mu Xiang strode inside and upon seeing Mu Yunjin, he slightly gasped for air.

"I heard the housekeeper say that you have come back. So I've come to take a look."

Mu Xiang went near Mu Yunjin and affectionately smiled. Mu Yunjin got up and looked at Mu Xiang. She saw beads of sweat on his forehead, and he was panting for air. It appears that he came hurriedly.

For a moment, all sorts of feelings welled up in her heart.

"En, I was just passing by the Fu's doors and decided to come and take a look."

Mu Yunjin smiled.

Mu Xiang nodded, feeling a little guilty as he looked at Mu Yunjin.

"This is forever your home, you can return and look any time."

When Mu Yunjin heard it, she suddenly remembered many things in the past that is hard to connect to Mu Xiang.

"Yunjin is back."

Mu Yunhan coincidentally entered, dissolving the awkward atmosphere. When Mu Xiang saw that Mu Yunhan has come he looked at the two of them and said.

"I'll go back now and leave you two to chat."

Before leaving, he stopped and looked towards Mu Yunjin to say.

"Yunjin, you should stay for a meal."

"En."

Mu Yunjin nodded.

Once Mu Xiang is gone, Mu Yunhan looked at Mu Yunjin.

"Why did you suddenly return?"

"I especially came to find you."

Mu Yunjin smiled.

"Chu Li's birthday is coming soon, Shen Momo asked me to prepare a birthday gift. After a while, I still don't know what to give."

"Therefore, I especially came to ask you. What do you men like?"

Hearing Mu Yunjin's question, Mu Yunhan's eyes contained a little smile.

"Before, you showed that you completely don't pay attention to Chu Li. Now, for the purpose of his birthday gift you specially dropped by just to ask me. Sure enough, a married daughter is spilt water ah."

(Spilt water means cannot be retrieved)

"Elder brother, don't talk nonsense."

Mu Yunjin grunted.

"Chu Li's birthday is sure to attract attention. I can't just give a shabby gift, can I?"

"Your amusing."

Mu Yunhan reached out his hand to poke Mu Yunjin's head.

"But Liu huang zi's behavior is eccentric, what he likes are maybe also extremely eccentric."

Eccentric?

Mu Yunjin thought about it.

For a long time, Mu Yunjin can't think of anything except various designs of lanterns. She can't think of any other things. She thinks that if she sent a lantern, then the next day her room will be bombarded with firecrackers.

Forget it.

Just as she was feeling helpless, a servant came to announce.

"Wu gongzhu has arrived to the Fu."

When  she heard Wu gongzhu, Mu Yunjin raised an eyebrow.

(TL: I also raised an eyebrow. Hahaha)

"Did you just say Wu gongzhu?"

"Replying to Liu huang zi fei, indeed, it is Wu gongzhu."

Hearing it, Mu Yunjin embarassedly smiled and looked towards Mu Yunhan.

"This Wu gongzhu really came."

When Mu Yunjin and Mu Yunhan walked to the Front hall,  they saw Mu Xiang and Luo Ningyu greeting Chu Qingqiang. Chu Qingqiang is sitting on the master's seat and her eyes filled with arrogance.

Her line of sight fell on Mu Yunhan's entering figure, her eyes drifted into a smile. But when she saw Mu Yunjin beside Mu Yunhan, her smile disappeared.

"Why are you here?"

Chu Qingqiang coldly asked.

Mu Yunjin immediately felt funny.

"This is my parent's home."

Hearing it, Chu Qingqiang actually felt she asked inappropriately. Then, she did not pay attention to Mu Yunjin anymore and looked towards Mu Yunhan.

(TL: Yup, you asked a very intelligent question, not.)

"Yunhan, yesterday, out of curiosity I studied a book o  the arts of war. There is something that I did not understand and has specially come to consult you."

Yunhan…

Hearing this intimate address, Mu Yunjin had the chills, and secretly cursed. You, who are you!

When Mu Yunhan was called by Chu Qingqiang, he felt awkward and slightly coughed. He looked towards Mu Yunjin.

"It just happens that Yunjin also has a problem and came to ask for my guidance. It would be better to come together."

(TL: It sounds to me that you are asking Yunjin to not leave you alone with CQQ hahaha)

Chu Qingqiang glanced back at Mu Yunjin, her eyes looked severely but can't refute. Then, she followed Mu Yunhan and walked over the garden pavilion. Mu Yunjin also followed them.

……….

Inside the Pavilion.

"Mu Yunjin, if you have a question, quickly ask. After you finish you should hurry and go."

As soon as Chu Qingqiang sat down, she impolitely addressed Mu Yunjin.

Mu Yunjin poured a cup of tea and drank a mouthful, before looking towards Mu Yunhan and smiled.

"Elder brother, last time you taught me a poem verse. Today, teach me to write it."

Mu Yunhan glimpsed Mu Yunjin's crafty smile and replied.

"Okay."

After a while, a servant brought pen and ink.

Mu Yunhan held the writing brush and on top of a fine writing paper he wrote a few verse. Soon after, he handed it over to Mu Yunjin.

"You try it."

"En."

Mu Yunjin picked up the writinh brush and heavily dipped it in the prepared ink. On top of the paper, she crookedly start to write.

Chu Qingqiang saw Mu Yunjin write a sloppy letters, her eyes filled with disdain. Really, she doesn't know how this kind of idiot managed to be lucky to marry Chu Li.

"Yunjin, no, it is not a left slanting downward brush stroke, it is a downwards-right concave character stroke."

Mu Yunhan pointed at Mu Yunjin's writing the second character. Mu Yunjin nodded, dipped the brush into the prepared ink and continued to write.

"No, you don't need to dip it in so much ink. Furthermore,  this is to bend and hook, not a left slanting downward brush stroke..."

"Here is a vertical stroke, it should be perfectly straight, next…."

For the next full hour, Mu Yunhan patiently taught Mu Yunjin to write a poem. The snubbed Chu Qingqiang almost puffed out fire as she looked at Mu Yunjin's tall layers of thrash writings. She very much wanted to taunt her but due to Mu Yunhan's presence she is unable to say anything. Afterall, since earlier, it seems that their brother and sister relationship is quite good.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Chu Qingqiang's patience ran out.

"Yunjin, Wu Jie (Fifth elder sister) remembers that Liu Di (6th little brother) is very good in writing poetries. Why don't you go home and ask him?"

"Wu jiejie, wait a moment, I'm almost done writing. Once I finish, I promise I won't disturb you."

Mu Yunjin replied without raising her head, she just continued writing. Chu Qingqiang's looked defeated, she glared at Mu Yunjin before taking a deep breath.

After half an hour, Mu Yunjin's voice is heard.

"I got it wrong again, this character is really difficult to write. I'll write it again!"

'peng--'  a sound of a teacup breaking.

"Wu jiejie, what happened to you?"

Mu Yunjin raised her surprised eyes to look at Chu Qingqiang.

"Wu gongzhu, are you alright?"

Mu Yunhan asked.

(TL: Hahaha this Sister and brother combo!)

Chu Qingqiang bit her lip, and made supreme effort to endure her emotions. Then, she gave a sweet tempered smile towards Mu Yunhan.

"Yunhan, I suddenly remembered that I still have work that needs to be done. I should go, I will come again to visit you another day."

After her words fell, she got up with the help of a servant and left. When Chu Qingqiang was gone, Mu Yunjin immediately dropped the writing brush in her hand and waved her wrist around.

"I am extremely tired, this Wu gongzhu has a pretty good endurance."

It has been three hours.

Mu Yunhan is smiling when he looked at Mu Yunjin.

"So, in that amount of time, did you or did you not learn how to write the poem?"

"Of course I did."

Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows.

After a moment, Mu Yunjin seems to recall something.

"This Wu gongzhu, right now I fear is truly insistent to you. What are you going to do?"

"How about if you request a marriage to Huang Shang much earlier and try to find a woman you can marry?"

Mu Yunjin suggested. Mu Yunhan submerged in thought, pondering over Mu Yunjin's words.

"You words makes sense."

"En? Your really going to listen to me? I am just saying it casually."

Mu Yunjin laughed.

"Actually, this Wu gongzhu appears to be dignified and is not all bad."

"It's just that if you marry a princess, you will become the emperor's son-in-law. Whatever comes in the future, you will just have to accept. This way, it's not good."

Mu Yunhan helplessly looked at Mu Yunjin and shook his head.

"You are still a little girl, you should not worry about my affairs. It would be better if you first think of what to prepare for Liu Huang zi's birthday gift."

"You don't say that I'll quickly forget, it's just that his birthday is still the seventh of next month. There are still several days, it is not urgent. I'll slowly think about it."

Mu Yunhan nodded.

"It's late, let's go eat our noon meal."
