Liu Doukou was startled for a moment, glanced at the pastry in his hand, and continued: "This pastry is my favorite. It's soft, glutinous, fragrant, and has a moderate sweetness. It won't cause toothache. Come on, will Auntie feed you?"

Luo Baobao shook his head and looked at Liu Doukou's nails: "I had breakfast but I couldn't eat any more. If Auntie likes wine, just eat more!"

After saying that, Baby Luo turned around and came to Yang Ruoqing: "Mom, I'm going to play with my dad."

Yang Ruoqing smiled slightly: "Okay, go ahead!"

Baby Luo jumped out of the house.

Here, Liu Doukou said: "Sister Qing'er, I will wrap this snack for you later. You can take it back to the baby to eat."

Yang Ruoqing said: "No need, there are plenty of snacks at home, and the child cannot eat too much sweet food, as it will hurt her teeth."

Liu Doukou said: "My cousin bought this snack from the best snack shop in the county. This kind of sweet-scented osmanthus cake is to honor my mother. This kind of water chestnut cake is my favorite..."

Is this spreading dog food?

Yang Ruoqing smiled.

On the bed, Zichuan Niang said: "Cardamom, you don't need to pack it. Qing'er is right. It's better for children to eat less sweets."

"Besides, Bao Bao's child's vision and food are not comparable to those of the children in our village, let alone the children of the county magistrate's family. Qing'er has to go back and forth to the capital every year, what good things does Bao Bao have for this child?

Have you never seen it or eaten it?" Zichuan Niang said.

In the past, Yang Ruoqing would have said a few words of modesty, but now, she just sat there and smiled lightly, saying nothing.

As for Liu Doukou, her cheeks felt a little hot.

"Mom, when my cousin and I get married, and our family will buy a mansion in the capital, my cousin and I will be filial to you every day, and I will buy you whatever you want to eat," Liu Doukou said.

Zichuan Niang nodded, "Okay, you are very filial..."

Yang Ruoqing was too lazy to listen to Liu Doukou's flattering words and stood up to leave: "Godmother, I have something to do at home. I'll leave first. I'll come to visit you another day. Please take care of yourself."

Zichuan Niang said: "Okay, you go and do your work, Daukou, help me deliver them to their family of three."

Yang Ruoqing said: "No need, let's let cousin Doujiao stay with my godmother."

Liu Doukou smiled and said: "Then I will take you to the entrance of the courtyard."

Seeing Yang Ruoqing coming out, Luo Fengtang guessed it immediately.

He also quickly put down the tea bowl in his hand, stood up and said goodbye to Mu Zichuan.

Mu Zichuan also stood up and said, "Thank you, Brother Fengtang, for coming to visit my mother despite your busy schedule. I'll take you to the door."

Luo Fengtang nodded, turned around and walked towards Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing also nodded towards Mu Zichuan.

As for Liu Doukou, when he arrived at the main room, he suddenly became cautious.

Because of Luo Fengtang's momentum, she was inexplicably scared.

When Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang came in to visit before, she just hid behind Mu Zichuan, lowered her head and said a vague hello, not daring to look any further.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Liu Doukou summoned up the courage to raise her head, wanting to see what the General Protector of the Country, whose imposing manner made her inexplicably afraid, looked like, and whether he really looked like the one in the play.

Her purple face was as majestic as the eyes of a heavenly soldier or general.

However, when she peeked at it, she was shocked.

She originally thought that her cousin was the most handsome man in the world, with delicate features, red lips and white teeth, like a green bamboo pole.

Unexpectedly, there is another kind of beauty in men in this world.

This is a kind of beauty that is completely different from the handsome beauty of my cousin.

This kind of handsomeness made three words pop up in Liu Doukou's mind: masculinity!

However, he was obviously such a majestic man who made me scared even just looking at him. This cold-faced man who didn't even look at her when he passed by her came straight to the yard, leaned down in front of his daughter, and gently

He gently stroked the little girl's head and called her home warmly.

Liu Doukou suddenly understood why Yang Ruoqing would marry Luo Fengtang instead of her cousin Mu Zichuan.

Here, Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing held Luo Baobao's hands and walked out. Luo Baobao jumped up and down, and the two pigtails on his head also swayed.

Muzichuan sent the family of three to the gate of the courtyard and said goodbye to them.

Liu Doukou stood at the door of the main room, his eyes lingering on the backs of the family of three.

When they were far away, Liu Doukou came to the door of the yard and wanted to call Mu Zichuan back, but found that Mu Zichuan was still looking at the retreating figures of the family of three, with disappointment on his face and envy in his eyes.

"Cousin, don't envy their family of three. When we get married, we can be like them." Liu Doukou smiled sweetly, gently pulled Mu Zichuan's sleeve with his fingers, and said.

Mu Zichuan came back to his senses and turned to look at her: "Where did you see my envy?"

Liu Doukou said: "If you are not envious, then why are you still looking at them when they are almost gone?"

Mu Zichuan said: "I am thinking about things. You'd better not speculate on my thoughts. You don't understand me."

After saying that, Mu Zichuan pulled his sleeve back from Liu Doukou's hand, turned around and hurried back to the house, and immediately locked himself in the east room to read and write.

However, sitting in front of the desk, the brush in my hand could not be put down, and the three of them leaving were in my mind.

Yes, he was indeed envious.

Not only envious, but jealous.

But so what? If you lose it, you have lost it. You can only look at it from a distance, hide in the shadows and miss it. Even the longing cannot be upright and becomes distorted...

In the main room, Liu Doukou looked at the closed door of the east room. This time, although Mu Zichuan was still cold to her and denied her words.

But she was not angry or disappointed at all.

Why?

My cousin's wedding to me has been scheduled for the Double Ninth Festival in September, and my family has prepared a huge dowry.

I will finally get my wish to marry my cousin.

Even though my cousin is a little colder now, after getting married and having children, over time, he will have no choice but to compromise for the sake of his children.

Moreover, my cousin is a high-ranking official in the imperial court and someone who is highly valued by the emperor. Even if he doesn't like her very much, he would not dare to treat her as his married wife harshly, otherwise the emperor will punish her and the imperial censor will impeach her.

So she is not afraid!

As for Yang Ruoqing, there is no need to be wary of her now.

She was lucky enough to marry such a good-looking general. It was probably very difficult for any other man in the world to fall in her eyes, so she was too preoccupied before.

Thinking of this, Liu Doukou is the happiest person, feeling that he is really the final winner!

In the west room, Mrs. Zichuan saw Liu Doukou coming in humming a little tune, with a proud look on her face.

Zichuan Niang couldn't help but said: "Dardamom, you should stop showing off to Qing'er from now on. The wealth and status of Qing'er's family are only higher than ours!"

"You mentioned earlier that you would go to the capital to buy a mansion in the future, but you didn't know that Qing'er and Fengtang had already opened several businesses in the capital, including restaurants, brothels, and perfume shops."
