Chapter 137 Calling Senior Sister to Listen
What's there to be proud of, just because you have a junior brother?
Mr. Mo didn't understand why Mianmian was so happy. If she wanted a junior brother, shouldn't there be many candidates? Why did she have to choose Hu Junbao?
Hu Junbao was also smart. He raised the tea respectfully above his head and said, "Master, please have some tea."
Mr. Mo lost his temper due to the two of them. He took a helpless sip of tea. After drinking the tea, he handed the folding fan in his hand to him, "This is a gift from my teacher. You must be determined to learn in the future and must not let it down."
Your senior sister’s kindness.”
If it hadn't been for Mianmian's repeated request, Mr. Mo thought he would never have accepted Hu Junbao. It was precisely because of this that this thank you was neglected by Mianmian.
Hu Junbao looked at Mianmian and said firmly, "Master, don't worry, I will not let down my senior sister."
Hu Junbao vowed silently in his heart that if anyone dared to bully Mianmian in the future, he would not let him.
Mianmian touched Hu Junbao's head with satisfaction and said, "Second Junior Brother, be good. Call Senior Sister and listen."
Hu Junbao's face turned red, and the wish in his heart was gone, "...senior sister."
Mianmian smiled so hard that she couldn't see her eyes. Just when Hu Junbao was embarrassed, a delicate jade pendant appeared in her palm. The pattern and workmanship on it were of top quality. "Junior brother, be good, senior sister gave it to you."
Before Hu Junbao could be happy, Mr. Mo's expression changed and he looked at it carefully for a long time, "Where did you get this Mianmian thing?"
"ah?"
Mianmian felt guilty, "I don't remember either."
It seemed like she had stolen it from the gang that kidnapped her eldest cousin.
Mr. Mo held the jade pendant with tears in his eyes, "It has been seven years, I never expected to see this jade pendant again."
"Master, is the jade pendant important?"
"Do you know where this jade pendant came from?"
Mianmian: “I don’t know.”
Hu Junbao: "..."
You took it out and you didn’t know?
Mr. Mo sighed and his thoughts drifted far away, "This thing originally belongs to my Mo family. It is a relic of my great-grandmother. It was given to my great-grandmother by my great-grandfather. It was carved by him himself. The Mo family was wrongly accused of collaborating with the enemy."
At that time, all the family property was taken away and this jade pendant also disappeared."
Didn't expect to show up here.
"Shouldn't the items that were confiscated be in the Ministry of Household Affairs? Why are they here?" Hu Junbao asked curiously.
Mr. Mo also looked at Mianmian, who said bravely: "I stole this thing."
"You stole it?" Mr. Mo was surprised.
Senior sister can actually steal things?
Mianmian bit the bullet and told the story of accidentally discovering someone hiding the treasure, excluding Grandpa Calabash's credit.
After hearing this, Mr. Mo slumped down in his chair, his eyes filled with a hint of evil, and he clutched the armrest tightly.
Mianmian had never seen her master like this before and thought she had done something wrong. "Master, are you okay? I didn't steal it on purpose. Someone told me it was ill-gotten wealth, so I stole it."
Mr. Mo asked in a hoarse voice, "Where are the rest?"
Mianmian's voice became even softer, "I asked my fifth uncle to exchange for food, clothes and medicinal materials. They were all given to the poor. I can't get them back. Master, don't be angry. Mianmian doesn't know that the things are yours. I
…Can I find a way to help you get it back?”
Mr. Mo was really startled, and after a moment he touched Mianmian's hair and said, "Silly boy, how could I be angry? You are doing a good deed. Keeping those things is useless, why not take them out to help the people."
"Master, I have left some things behind. My fifth uncle has said that I can't sell them. I will give them to you when we get back."
When the Mo family was ransacked and many rare treasures disappeared, Mr. Mo had long been used to it, "You don't have to give it back to me. You can sell the food to help the people. Master believes in you."
Mianmian was greatly encouraged, "Yes, I can do it."
Hu Junbao was greatly shocked. Although he didn't know how many treasures Mianmian had in his mouth, it was definitely not less. All the items were used to help the people, including the master.
He felt that this was different from the idea he had accepted before. No wonder the master would accept his senior sister as his apprentice. No wonder his senior sister said that his father was a bad guy. Compared with his senior sister, his father was really a bad guy.
At this time, people from outside came to report that Jiang Youquan had arrived.
Mianmian happily ran out to meet people, and saw Jiang Xuanlin and Jiang Muyan hugging each other. Mianmian found that their bodies were covered with blood and soil, and they looked miserable. Her eyes were red with distress.
"What's wrong with you? Are you being bullied?"
Seeing his sister and thinking of the dangers of this trip, Jiang Xuanlin burst into tears.
"Second cousin, don't cry, don't cry, you're making Mianmian want to cry."
Mianmian wiped his tears with her sleeves. Both sleeves were wet, but the tears still didn't stop. She searched her body for a handkerchief but couldn't find it. She was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.
Hu Junbao ran over and gave Mianmian a handkerchief.
Mianmian turned around and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, second junior brother."
"You're welcome."
Jiang Muyan became vigilant. They had only been separated for a short time, and there was actually a junior brother beside his sister.
Jiang Xuanlin wiped away his tears for a long time and finally stopped crying. He felt a little embarrassed when he found someone next to him, "Who is Mianmian? Why did you call him the second junior brother?"
"His name is Hu Junbao. He is Master's new apprentice. He is my second junior brother. I am now my senior sister."
Jiang Muyan pondered, "Hu Junbao, why does your name sound so familiar?"
"I also feel like I heard it somewhere. Where is it?"
The smile on Hu Junbao's face disappeared. Even he didn't know that he didn't want people to know that he was his father's son.
"You may have heard the same number of names in the academy."
"No, I must have heard it recently." Jiang Muyan recalled carefully and suddenly his eyes widened, "You are the son of Magistrate Hu? Aren't you dead?"
Hu Junbao's face turned pale and he froze on the spot.
Mianmian emphasized: "He is not the Hu Junbao you mentioned, he is my junior brother Hu Junbao."
Jiang Muyan:...What's the difference? Aren't they all the same person?
Hu Junbao looked at Mianmian gratefully, feeling again that it was great to have a senior sister.
"Second cousin, third cousin, your clothes are all dirty. I don't have your clothes. My junior brother is about the same size as you. Why don't you wear his clothes." Mianmian asked Hu Junbao, "Second junior brother, do you have any?"
Extra clothes?"
Hu Junbao glanced at Jiang Xuanlin and Jiang Muyan before saying, "Yes."
Jiang Muyan looked at his clothes with disgust, then looked at Hu Junbao, and said nothing. Jiang Xuanlin didn't react at all, holding Mianmian's hand and talking non-stop.
"You don't know, Uncle Liu was so powerful at that time. He touched people's necks in just a few strokes, and those people fell down all at once."
