The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 314 The County Exam (1)
Seeing that after Qiu Ju talked about her marriage, Mu Jinxi didn't have any shyness and anticipation on her face, so she guessed that Qiu Ju might really be dissatisfied with her marriage.

But how could she be dissatisfied with her marriage?I heard that this marriage is quite good, and the conditions of the other party are also good. In the town, after Qiu Ju gets married, at least she doesn’t have to work hard in the fields like other women in the village marrying to the next village. Even if she can’t be a young mistress Ma'am, it's better than marrying into a farm.

In this case, what is Qiu Ju not satisfied with?Or she... already has a sweetheart in advance, so she doesn't want to marry another man?That's not great if that's the case.Marriage matters here are all ordered by the parents and the words of the matchmaker, and Qiu Ju is the granddaughter of the village chief, so she must not do anything that should not be done.

Mu Jinxi looked at the plain expression on Qiu Ju's face, and had already thought about the matter quickly in her heart.But she didn't intend to ask.Firstly, she and Qiu Ju are not yet familiar to this level, so it is not easy for her to ask about such a private matter, and secondly, Qiu Ju has no right to say anything about marriage, let alone an outsider like her. It's not human inside and out.

So she should stop talking about it. Others can't explain things like marriage clearly. Only the person involved knows what's going on.

"Sister Qiuju, you are the granddaughter of the village head, and the village head has always loved you, so you will be able to get married in good time! And I heard that your future husband's family conditions are very good, and there are still people in the town. Where's the shop, isn't it?" Cuihua was so nervous that she didn't notice the subtle expression on Qiu Ju's face.

Qiu Ju smiled faintly and said: "Well, yes, their family has opened two shops in the town, and the business seems to be OK."

Cuihua cried out, looked at Qiuju enviously and said, "Sister Qiuju, after you get married, you can be the proprietress right away, sitting in the shop and waiting for customers to come to buy things, and then you can collect the money." Already!"

Mu Jinxi also smiled and said: "Yes, Qiu Ju, it seems that you don't have to work hard in the future, but you can be the shopkeeper in the shop comfortably. Unlike me, I work hard."

Qiu Ju glared at Mu Jinxi amusedly and said, "Are you still ashamed to say that you are not good? Look at you now, no one within a hundred miles can compare to your Mu family. Isn't this all due to you? If I had your abilities, I wouldn't—" Qiu Ju stopped her mouth in time, and said nothing.

But Mu Jinxi could still hear it, "Women, when you reach the right age, you have to get married. If I hadn't happened to me, I would probably be like you now. This marriage is your parents and the village. I chose it for you, it should be good, you just wait to be a bride!"

Qiu Ju was startled, and said in a daze, "Yes, this marriage was chosen by parents and grandpa, so it should be good, right?"

Maybe it's because I don't want to get married yet, so I have a prejudice against others, so I think they are bad?Look at Xiaoxi and Cuihua both said that such a family is very good, and you don't have to worry about anything when you get married. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?

During dinner at night, Mu Jinxi thought about Qiu Ju again, so she asked, "Father, mother, have you heard about the village head's family's marriage to Qiu Ju?"

Father Mu and Lady Mu were startled, and Lady Mu smiled and said: "They are all from the same village, of course I have heard of it. I heard that this marriage was made by the village chief after a lot of effort. The village chief has always I love Qiu Ju's granddaughter, even Qiu Ju's eldest brother is not as favored as she is. That's why the village chief put all his effort into asking for this marriage for Qiu Ju."
