The Pastoral Empress Merchant
Chapter 684 Suspicion
Chapter 684 Suspicion
Mu Jinxi was not surprised when she saw Jue Lin, Xiao Bao was not feeling well, and today is the Lantern Festival, no one from the Xiao family went out, nor did she agree to his invitation, he would know about it.When he found out, he would definitely come to see Xiaobao. She had never doubted his concern for Xiaobao.
When Jue Lin asked, she also told the truth. Although Jue Lin didn't think it was a big deal, he was smart enough not to say anything in front of her.
But when it comes to hiring Xiaobao a husband, he has something to say.
"Let me take care of the matter of finding a husband for Xiaobao. I will find the most suitable husband for Xiaobao, who can meet your requirements and will not delay Xiaobao's learning and growth."
This is Xiaobao's first official husband, which means a lot to Xiaobao and has a great influence on his future life, so we can't be careless.
Mu Jinxi was a little embarrassed.
"But uncle has—"
"Jin'er, I'm Xiaobao's father. I should be the one to worry about things like this. It's fine if I didn't exist before, but now that I'm here, how can I borrow someone else's hand?" Jue Lin disagreed.
If everything is done by the Xiao family, what is the value of his father?Display?
"How could it be someone else? He is my own uncle!"
"I'm still Xiaobao's father!" Jue Lin squinted at her.
Mu Jinxi choked, and almost wanted to say that she was not her real father, but luckily she stopped in time, otherwise it would really hurt Juelin's heart.
But it's hard to say for the uncle, the uncle doesn't hate Jue Lin, and he doesn't like it, but he can't say he likes it either. Now that he wants to take away the fun of being his uncle, the uncle will not be happy, right?
Maybe my uncle would take his anger out on her, and she wouldn't do such a thankless thing, otherwise I'm afraid it would bring on my uncle's resentment.
So Mu Jinxi crossed her arms, glanced at her head, and said flatly: "I don't want to say it, but you can say it yourself."
Seeing her childish appearance, Jue Lin was startled, then smiled lowly, and said, "Okay, I will solve it myself, and I won't make it difficult for you."
"By the way, take me to see Xiaobao!" Jue Lin was very worried about Xiaobao.
Who knew that Mu Jinxi frowned, shook her head and said, "No, Xiao Bao is in Ah Xiao's yard. If you go, Ah Xiao will definitely know." It's in Xiaobao's room.
If Jue Lin went, wouldn't it be that he would run into everyone? Besides, when Xiao Bao saw Jue Lin, he might act like a baby, and what she said to him during the day would be for nothing.
But Jue Lin didn't take it seriously, and said lightly: "What's the matter, Ah Xiao already knew what happened between us, so why do we still need to hide it? Isn't it superfluous?"
Mu Jinxi rolled his eyes at him: "Xiaobao is not feeling well, and everyone in the family can't wait to feel uncomfortable for him. Maybe everyone is still in Xiaobao's room right now. Didn't you bump into him when you went there?"
Jue Lin frowned, "It's so late, they should all be asleep, right?"
Mu Jinxi shook her head regretfully and said: "I'm afraid not yet. I think you'd better go back first and come back another day. Xiaobao just has a little diarrhea and it's nothing serious. You don't have to worry."
Jue Lin also shook his head and said, "It doesn't mean that you can stop worrying if you don't have to worry."
Xiaobao is his own son. He felt very regretful because he had not been involved in his previous growth. Now that he has finally recognized each other, how can he not visit him when he is sick? Xiaobao feels very sad What a pain!
Mu Jinxi frowned, agreeing with Jue Lin's words in her heart, she thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll go and see first, if uncle and the others are still there, I'll come back as soon as possible, if I don't come back after a quarter of an hour , you go quietly."
Quietly past...why does it sound like sneaking around, not seeing the light?Jue Lin smiled wryly and said, "Okay, that's the only way to go."
Mu Jinxi went to Xiaobao's room first, and sure enough, she saw a room full of people, and thought to herself that it's a good thing that Jue Lin didn't come, otherwise it would be a disaster.
Everyone was laughing and joking when they saw her coming, because they were afraid that she would come to reprimand Xiaobao again. It is so late now, if Xiaobao still has to be reprimanded, how will Xiaobao sleep tonight?
Seeing everyone's appearance, Mu Jinxi couldn't help laughing, she drove people away and said: "Okay, you guys, I didn't come here to scold Xiaobao, I just wanted to see if he was in better health, and if he still had diarrhea. .”
Everyone was startled, and it took a long time to realize that they had misunderstood Xiao Xi.
"Ah, so that's the case, hahaha, it turns out that we were thinking too much. Well, Xiaobao is fine, it's fine, he just took the medicine and fell asleep."
Mu Jinxi glanced inside suspiciously, a little in disbelief.
Xiaobao is asleep?Impossible, she had already said in the morning that she would come to see him at night, and according to her understanding of her son, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep if he didn't see her at night, how could he?
Seeing Mu Jinxi's suspicious appearance, everyone felt guilty again.
In fact, Xiaobao has been waiting for Xiaoxi, but they were worried that Xiaoxi would scold Xiaobao again, so they came out all at once when the servants came to report that Miss Biao had come, just to block Xiaoxi and not let her go. she goes in.
"Okay, you guys, I've said that I didn't come to scold Xiaobao. I already said what I should say this morning. It's getting late, you all go back, otherwise Xiaobao doesn't care if you stay here all the time Sleep, I'll go back after looking at him. I promise I won't scold him again." Mu Jinxi promised.
"Really?" Mrs. Xiao was still not at ease.
Mu Jinxi sighed helplessly: "Grandfather, I promise."
Well, since Xiaoxi has said so, everyone can only listen and leave slowly.
Seeing that everyone had left, Mu Jinxi finally breathed a sigh of relief, she was really worried that Jue Lin would come over any longer.
But before Mu Jinxi could catch her breath, a person suddenly appeared behind her, which startled her!
"Xiao Xiao, what are you doing!" It's so scary at night.
"Are you hiding something from us again?" Xiao Xiao narrowed her peachy eyes, staring at Mu Jinxi suspiciously.
Mu Jinxi sighed softly, spread her hands and said, "Jue Lin is here. He knows that Xiaobao is not feeling well, so he wants to come over to take a look. But if grandfather and the others are still here, how can he come?"
Xiao Xiao's eyes widened, "Jue Lin? He ran over?"
"Ah."
Xiao Xiao clicked his tongue a few times, touched his chin and said, "He is really brave, he dared to sneak into Xiao's residence."
"I didn't sneak in, I came in openly." Jue Lin suddenly appeared.
Xiao Xiao was startled, then looked at him contemptuously and said: "What is being upright? Only those who walk in through the main entrance are upright! Those who climb over the wall like you are called sneaking, okay?"
Jue Lin glanced at him, ignored him, and walked into the inner room.
Mu Jinxi looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "Okay, since you turned your head back, you should go outside and watch out, lest other people turn back halfway."
Mu Jinxi ordered Xiao Xiao to order it very smoothly and as a matter of course, without any sense of disobedience.
Xiao Xiao choked, and pointed at Mu Jinxi, not knowing what to say about her.
"Good men do not fight with women!"
Mu Jinxi looked at him inexplicably: "Who is fighting with you? Hurry up, or I will say that it was all your fault if something happened."
Having said that, Xiao Xiao had nothing to say, and obediently turned around and went out to watch for the wind.
When Mu Jinxi entered the inner room, Jue Lin had already hugged Xiaobao and was talking in a low voice. Xiaobao leaned against his arms, very obedient, nodding his head from time to time.
Mu Jinxi raised her eyebrows and walked over.
Seeing her, Xiao Bao was still a little worried, looked at her timidly and shouted: "Mother..."
"Is it better? Do you still have diarrhea?"
Xiaobao quickly shook his head and said: "No, after taking the medicine, I have no more diarrhea, but my stomach still feels a little uncomfortable. Mother, Xiaobao knows that he was wrong, and he will not dare to do it again."
"Well, it's a good boy who knows his mistakes and can correct them. It's just that he can't do it again in the future, you know?"
"Is mother still angry?" Xiaobao asked.This is what worries him the most. He doesn't like his mother to be angry, and he is also afraid of her being angry.
Mu Jinxi smiled and said: "Since this is the first time I have made such a mistake, my mother will not be angry this time, and I forgive you. But if there is another time, then you and your mother Let's go back to Xiushui Village together."
Hearing that he was going back to Xiushui Village, Xiaobao shook his head like a rattle, "Mother, Xiaobao really won't do it again in the future, don't go back to Xiushui Village, Xiaobao wants to be with his uncle, grandpa and great-grandfather. Don't leave Daddy!"
After Xiao Bao finished speaking, he still hugged Jue Lin desperately and did not let go, his little face was pressed tightly against Jue Lin's neck and shoulders, and Mu Jinxi was both angry and funny.
Smiling and shaking her head, Mu Jinxi walked to the side and sat down, and didn't talk much, and occasionally looked at Jue Lin and Xiao Bao, and didn't feel bored.
It's just that when she looked over again, she felt something was different.Can't help but stunned.
Little Treasure happened to put his head next to Jue Lin. He didn't know what he was talking about. Jue Lin smiled slightly and listened carefully. There were many candles lit in the room. Although the light was not very bright, it was enough to make people See everything in the room clearly, including the faces of the people in the room.
Seeing and watching, Mu Jinxi couldn't help but frowned slightly, her gaze became a little darker when she looked at the two, and there was a suspicious light in her pupils.
Is it an angle problem or a lighting problem, or is it because Jue Lin and Xiao Bao are too close that she now feels that Xiao Bao actually looks a bit like Jue Lin?She didn't realize before that Xiaobao's facial features have always been outstanding. She laughed at that time and said that looking at Xiaobao like this, his own father should also be a person with outstanding appearance. No wonder he was fascinated by him at the beginning. The original owner, let the original owner desperately want to be with him.
But she had never been curious about Xiaobao's own father, whether it was his appearance or anything else.Those things between him and the original owner have passed away, and the current Mu Jinxi is the reborn Mu Jinxi, a new Mu Jinxi, and the previous things have nothing to do with her.If the original owner was an orphan, then she would really treat everything before as a lost memory and start over.
But she has parents, an elder brother, and a son. She couldn't abandon the past, but she never thought about looking for the past, so when she heard Mo Qingcang's words, her first reaction was to deceive him with a lie, making him think Their family moved out and they are nowhere to be found.In addition, I don't know if it's because of the change of soul and the disappearance of obsessions. The memory of Xiaobao's father in her mind has gradually faded away, and she will never remember it.
So she has never had a deep look at Xiaobao's appearance, and she never said that she would associate Xiaobao with anyone for comparison.But today she discovered that Xiaobao's appearance and Jue Lin... are somewhat similar!
She didn't pay attention or care before, so she didn't notice it, but now she couldn't ignore it from such an angle.
Xiaobao’s eyes have always been big and round, but Jue Lin’s eyes are standard phoenix eyes, but now Xiaobao has opened a little, and his eyes don’t seem to be so big and round, they were originally round and small The tip of her nose is not so round now, and the bridge of her nose is straightened up a lot. Her lips are more similar to hers, but the shape of her face...
The more Mu Jinxi looked at it, the more frightened she became, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that her son and Juelin were really similar in some places!
After Jue Lin and Xiao Bao finished talking, they turned their heads and met Mu Jinxi's deep gaze, and asked in a daze, "Jin'er, what's wrong with you? What are you looking at?"
But Mu Jinxi didn't respond at all.
Jue Lin and Xiao Bao looked at each other strangely, and called again: "Jin'er, Jin'er? What are you thinking? I'm talking to you, did you hear me?"
Xiaobao also called out strangely: "Mother, mother, what's wrong with you? Why are you in a daze?"
He rarely sees his mother in a daze!
Hearing the sound, Mu Jinxi was shocked, came back to her senses, quickly put away the shock and disbelief in her eyes, and said calmly: "It's okay, I was thinking about something just now, and I thought too much at the moment. Fascinated."
"What are you thinking about? You are so engrossed in thinking that our father and son are sitting next to you, and you can ignore it. I can't imagine that if we were not by your side, would you forget us all?" Jue Lin joked .
Our father and son...how did she never realize that Jue Lin's tone of voice was so natural when he said these things before?Even if he loves Wujiwu because of her relationship and regards Xiaobao as his own son, but this attitude is too natural. She never felt that there was anything wrong before, and she was secretly happy that Jue Lin could treat Xiaobao as his own son. son.
Did she really become stupid after coming here?Such an obvious loophole, such a big tell, she didn't even see it.When Mo Qingcang came here to look for her that day, she should have guessed the sudden change of attitude. This matter was not easy, and she obviously felt something was wrong that day, why didn't she follow the clues?
Seeing that Mu Jinxi was in a trance again while talking, Jue Lin couldn't help feeling puzzled and strange.
"Jin'er, what are you thinking? We are talking, and you can be lost in thought? Could it be that Xiaobao and I have such a low sense of existence?"
Mu Jinxi suppressed the churning emotions in her heart, and said with a smile: "What else can I think about, isn't it already the end of the New Year? I have been in the capital for so long, and my plan has not yet been implemented. After waiting During this period of time, when Xiaobao's husband comes to class, I will start to be busy. I have to figure out how to start, this is not Taohua Town, I am still quite unfamiliar with the capital."
When Mu Jinxi said this, Jue Lin immediately believed it.
It turned out to be such a thing, no wonder, when these things were involved, Jin'er seemed to be a different person. I have never seen a woman who is so interested in business as she is.But even he had to admit that Jin'er had a certain talent for doing business.
"By the way, I have a shop that is very suitable for you. I will give it to you as a dowry gift. You have time to go and have a look. The location is good, the shop is quite big, and the environment is also good. You can see if it is suitable for you. What kind of shop do you want to open, or you can open a restaurant if you want to open a restaurant like you did in Taohua Town, but if you want to open a restaurant, you have to choose another shop. The area I just mentioned is not big enough for a restaurant, but for other Business should be fine."
Mu Jinxi shook her head and said, "How can I want your shop? I'm not that thick-skinned yet."
She doesn't get paid for nothing, and she doesn't care about accepting others' charity.
Jue Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "What does it matter if you are thick-skinned or not? I've said it all, it's just a small part of the betrothal gift. The date of our wedding hasn't been set yet, so I didn't send the betrothal gift over." Yes, I will ask my grandmother to come to the Xiao Mansion when I find time, and the two houses can discuss the wedding date! Then I will bring the dowry over. There are many shops, Zhuangzi, and fields under the name of the Wang Mansion, all of which can be used as dowry gifts for you. You can use it however you like."
Mu Jinxi smiled and said, "Give me what you want to eat? Don't you be afraid that I will take your things and regret not marrying you?"
Jue Lin said with a low smile: "Jin'er, you are smart, but sometimes you feel confused. You are Prime Minister Xiao's niece, where can you go? If you suddenly regret your marriage and run away by yourself, It will only hurt your family. And I don't think you will do such a thing. If you don't want to marry me, you will just tell me clearly, and then find a way to divorce, instead of running away irresponsibly. Leave your family behind."
"You believe me that much?"
"You are my fiancee, so I naturally believe in you. And you are also my son's mother, aren't you?"
Here it comes, here it comes again, this kind of tone that is too natural and confident, when did it start?When did Jue Lin start talking to her in this tone?Mu Jinxi thought about it, but couldn't remember it for a while, because she didn't pay much attention to these things before.
"You say that, do you want me to have to accept it?"
Jue Lin was startled, then smiled and said, "You can also say that."
Mu Jinxi stopped being hypocritical, and smiled heartily and generously: "Well, since your fiancé is so generous, then I don't need to be hypocritical. After all, when we get married, your things will be mine."
After a pause, he said again: "But my things are still my things." After finishing speaking, he nodded, saying that he was right, that's what he looked like, which made Juelin both surprised and funny.
It was the first time he heard her saying such a thing, but it was really bold and shocking.There has never been a woman who dared to say that. It has always been that after marriage, the woman's things will become the man's, and the man's things are still the man's.
But it doesn't matter, if she likes this way, so be it, after he gets married, he will hand over all the property in the palace to Jin'er, and I believe she will be able to handle it well.
"Well, if you like, so be it, your things are yours, and mine are yours." Jue Lin said seriously.
Mu Jinxi was surprised, looked at him and asked, "Are you serious?"
"Of course it's true. After getting married, you will be my wife. Everything in the mansion should be taken care of by you. If you don't like the complexity, you can also hand it over to the housekeeper. He has been in the mansion for dozens of years. He is an old man who was there when my father was still alive, and he is loyal to the palace."
Mu Jinxi closed her mouth that was slightly opened because of surprise, then she squinted at Jue Lin and said, "Don't think that I will be embarrassed when you say this, and then I will decline this matter, let me tell you, this is not right. Possibly. You said that, and I remember it."
Hearing Mu Jinxi's words, Jue Lin couldn't laugh or cry.
And Xiao Bao had already fallen asleep in Jue Lin's arms unknowingly.Jue Lin looked down and saw that Xiao Bao had fallen asleep, he put Xiao Bao back on the bed lightly, then covered him with a quilt carefully, and pressed down the corners of the quilt to prevent the wind from blowing in.
"It's getting late, I should go too, you go back to rest. I heard that women will grow old if they go to bed too late, you go to bed early, don't think too much about other things." Jue Lin was worried that she didn't care Shi Chen was thinking about business matters, that's why he said this.
Mu Jinxi smiled and said: "Well, you too, I'm going to sleep when I go back."
The two walked out of the inner room together, ready to go back separately.
Xiao Xiao, who had been watching the wind, couldn't help complaining when he saw Jue Lin: "I said Juelin, can't you pick another better time? What time is it now, and I still have to watch out for you, really There is no one worse than me."
"You can go back to sleep now, I'm ready to go home." Jue Lin showed great compassion.
"You are a typical example of crossing rivers and tearing down bridges, do you know that? Jue Lin, you can't do this!" Xiao Xiao felt that Jue Lin's attitude was very problematic.
Jue Lin squinted at him, and curled her thin lips lightly, "Are you sure you'll build a bridge for me?"
Seen cold by his gaze, Xiao Xiao hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, I was just joking just now. It's getting late, you should hurry back to the mansion, otherwise the old concubine will know that you are not in the mansion at this hour , will be worried. I have already said hello in advance, you can go out of my yard directly, no one will find out."
Jue Lin glanced at Xiao Xiao with a half-smile, looked at Mu Jinxi and said in a low voice, "Then I'm leaving, you should rest early."
Mu Jinxi nodded, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then be careful on the road."
Hearing her concern, Jue Lin slowly showed a gentle smile, and couldn't help reaching out and rubbing the top of her head lightly.
Mu Jinxi tilted her head, raised her hand to smooth her hair, and said, "I'm not Xiaobao, and I still touch my head and mess up my hair."
After finishing talking, I thought about what seemed to be a popular thing in the previous life?Oh, so she was killed by Jue Lin just now?Well, it's just why she didn't feel like her heart was racing, or shy and happy?
Jue Lin smiled and said, "It's not Xiaobao who can touch it, I like to touch your head like this."
Mu Jinxi couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "You should go." And she won't send it off!
Xiao Xiao also rolled his eyes and said, "Juelin, you really should go, it's really getting late."
Alas, Jue Lin was not like this before. Could it be that not only women, but also men will undergo such a big change after they touch love?I really can't imagine, the aloof little prince Juelin has changed now!
Jue Lin had a gentle face towards Mu Jinxi, but another face towards Xiao Xiao. Before leaving, he gave him a contemptuous look, which made Xiao Xiao's heart burn immediately fire.
Why despise him, he has never done anything!
After Jue Lin left, Mu Jinxi waved her hand and went back to her yard. After washing up, she lay down on the warm blanket and closed her eyes after staring at the bed curtain for a while, but her heart and mind were very busy. Active, without any sleepiness, she was thinking about the doubts she discovered tonight.
Mu Jinxi recalled everything that happened after meeting Mo Qingcang in her mind, found many details that she had neglected in the past, and figured out many things.There are mixed feelings in her heart, although she has not yet been acknowledged by Jue Lin, but she is almost sure that it is what she thinks in her heart.
The eyeballs under the eyelids were rolling, and it took an unknown amount of time before they finally stopped, leaving only normal physiological reactions. Mu Jinxi finally fell asleep, but before she fell asleep, there seemed to be a low sound coming from the bed. Sigh, sigh contains many complex emotions.
Xiaobao continued to be alive and kicking the next day. The first thing he did after he got better was to run to those servant girls whom he had teased and seriously say sorry to them. He didn't mean to tease them. Those who made them sick, also sent some gifts to those people.
In fact, although they were a little unhappy when Xiaobao teased them, they didn't think too much about it. After all, they were slaves, and Xiaobao was the master, let alone a small master. Children, it's normal to like to tease others, and they It didn't hurt much, so they didn't take this matter to heart afterward.Didn't expect the little master to come here and tell them that he was wrong and shouldn't play tricks on them? !
This made them both surprised and delighted, and they were so moved that they didn't know what to say. Although the little master was still young, this was enough, and it also paid attention to them, and the little master even gave them a gift.
Xiaobao's doing this not only resolved the subtle resentment in those people's hearts, but also made these people feel a kind of gratitude to Xiaobao in their hearts.
For servants, the best thing is to meet a good master, and now it seems that Xiaobao is a good little master now, and will be a good master in the future, as long as they serve well, he will definitely They will not be treated badly!
And Xiao Xiao also kicked out all the restless people in his yard, and re-selected some people to come in, but most of these people were selected to serve Xiaobao.
Mu Jinxi also started to prepare for opening her own shop.What Jue Lin said that day reminded her that she might be able to open a restaurant, a branch of Peach Blossom Restaurant!After all, beauty shops and the like are not very effective now, and now she only has some jasmine essential oil, which is too monotonous.It will take some time to grow lavender and roses. Other flowers can also be extracted, but it will take time.
It would be a waste of time to wait, so why not open a restaurant first?
But to open a restaurant, you have to do some research first.
Mu Jinxi's idea let Master Xiao know by accident, and with a big wave of his hand, Master Xiao asked Xiao Xiao to give her the restaurant under his own name, and she had to choose it at will!Xiao Xiao was so angry that he said that he was not his own, but floated from the moat, but Master Xiao ignored him.
After thinking about it, Mu Jinxi thinks that this is good, the risk is lower, she is not so lofty, she insists on starting her own business or something.A shrewd businessman should seize every opportunity he can, and let himself get the most benefit from it.
Well, regarding taking another restaurant from Xiao Xiao, Mu Jinxi said that this is fate!The only thing the little cousin can do is to accept this fate, who called her his own cousin?Who told her to be favored by her uncle and grandfather?
But he won't be at a disadvantage, okay, just look at the Peach Blossom Restaurant. Since she can set up one Peach Blossom Restaurant, she can naturally set up a second one, and this is the capital city!Where money is being burned, how could she not seize the opportunity?At that time, she will build the restaurant, and the little cousin will benefit from it, okay?It is guaranteed that he will make a lot of money with her!
So Mu Jinxi accepted Master Xiao's arrangement without any psychological pressure, and took Xiao Xiao to visit all the restaurants under his name when he found a chance.
"I said, little cousin, can your face not be so stinky? What will you think of me if you let others see it? Others will think that you were forced by me to go shopping!" After walking most of the way, Mu Jinxi finally couldn't bear it anymore and said to Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao squinted at Mu Jinxi: "Isn't it forced?"
He was clearly forced by his father!Xiaoxi wants to leave one of his Peach Blossom restaurants, and wants another one when he comes to the capital.Hey, he built this up with all his hard work!
"You can refuse if you don't like it!"
"You said it lightly. If I refuse, father will not kill me. Now you are the treasure of our Xiao family. I have no status." Xiao Xiao said very calmly.
"Look at you, you're promising, isn't it because I'm giving you less share? How about it, three or seven cents is the head office, right?" Mu Jinxi reluctantly gave up.
Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up, but he didn't show anything on his face, and continued to mourn.
Mu Jinxi gritted her teeth: "Siliu, I'm six and you are four! It can't be any lower!"
I really have to bow my head under the roof of others!If she had known it would be like this, she might as well have accepted Juelin's title deed!
Hearing her words, Xiao Xiao's face immediately changed from sunny to cloudy, and finally showed a smile: "Good cousin, you said this, don't go back on your word."
Mu Jinxi glanced at him contemptuously: "Look at your promising appearance, I really don't see any meaning to whether you invented the name Master Xiao yourself."
The bone fan in Xiao Xiao's hand opened with a snap, and he shook it romantically and said, "Cousin, it's better to be your true self in front of you, and pretend to be a master to outsiders."
Mu Jinxi looked at the bone fan in his hand with disgust, wondering what was the point of him shaking a fan in this cold weather?
She doesn't understand this kind of... fun. It seems that every time I see some bosses, I always like to play with two or three round jade stones in my hand, saying that they can keep fit?Can activate the meridians?But she felt that if she wanted to activate the meridians, she could do finger exercises by herself. Wouldn't it be tiring to hold all these things?
Well, everyone has their own hobbies and habits, and she shouldn't think so about other people's hobbies.
Mu Jinxi quickly conducted self-reflection.
"I hope you will always remember what you said, and only pretend to be a master in front of outsiders."
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows, noncommittal to her words.
The news that Xiao Xiao was wandering around with a woman quickly spread. After all, Xiao Xiao is also a well-known figure in the capital.
The current master of the Xiao family is the prime minister, the former master, the current Mrs. Xiao was also the prime minister, and the eldest son Xiao is also a scholar, and he was an amazing literary champion back then.Just when everyone thought that Second Young Master Xiao would also have great achievements in his official career, he unexpectedly went into business beyond everyone's expectations!It's also doing well!
Although some people ridiculed him behind the scenes, saying that he had a noble status, but he did such lowly things, willing to degenerate, etc., but this did not affect Xiao Xiao's growing business and influence in the mall in the slightest. The scope quickly covered the entire capital, and even spread to places outside the capital.
In addition, he is the second son of Xiao's mansion, and he is good friends with the young prince Juelin, and the second son of Mo Guogong's mansion is also his younger brother, so no one dared to say anything even if he walked sideways in the capital.But fortunately, although he did not inherit the achievements of the Xiao family in his official career, he did inherit the good nature of the Xiao family.As long as he didn't take the initiative to provoke him, he generally wouldn't take the initiative to torment others.
If you accidentally provoke him, then I'm sorry, he has no less than a hundred ways to torture people, and he can't find any excuses, so he can only bite his teeth and swallow blood .
Everyone pays more attention to him than the young prince Juelin. Now they heard that he took a woman around, everyone was surprised, but soon someone recognized that the woman next to him was the hottest lady in Beijing right now. : Mu Jinxi, Xiao Xiao's cousin!The fiancee of the young prince Juelin!
Xiao Xiao took Mu Jinxi to visit all the restaurants under his name, and finally there was a restaurant that was not large in size and had a slightly lower business compared to other restaurants.According to Xiao Xiao, this restaurant was the first restaurant he opened at the beginning, and it was a test of the waters, so he didn't spend a lot of thought on running it, and the rewards he got were naturally not as great as other restaurants.
Moreover, he has quite a few restaurants of all kinds in the capital, including teahouses, but now he feels that it is meaningless to open too many, they are all the same, and he is about to close one or two.This restaurant that was originally opened was also on the list of restaurants that he closed down because he felt that there was really no need for it to exist, and its mission had been completed.
Xiao Xiao hadn't been here for a long time to inspect, and now he came here suddenly, which shocked everyone in the restaurant, and Mu Jinxi also noticed a flash of panic on the shopkeeper's face, she frowned and said nothing.
After wandering around in the restaurant, Mu Jinxi's heart moved, and she decided immediately that she wanted this restaurant, but the share had to be changed, three to seven, she seven, he three.
Xiao Xiao became angry when he heard her words.
"Xiaoxi, why did you go back on your word again? You clearly agreed just now that it was four or six points, but you changed your mind in a blink of an eye. How do you do business like this? You change it day and night. The most important thing for a businessman is to be honest! Integrity understand?"
Mu Jinxi said calmly: "I said it, but haven't I made a contract yet? Since I haven't made a contract yet, everything may change. How can I go back on my word? It should be said that I am thinking deeply. Just think about it."
After a pause, he continued: "And look at your restaurant, it's not as good as the original Dataohua Restaurant, after I took over, it will take a lot of effort to rectify and improve, I don't know how much money it will cost. And the problem of your restaurant is not just about business, I will have to deal with it when the time comes, it will be very troublesome."
Xiao Xiao was taken aback, his brows frowned, Tao Hua's eyes flashed with doubt, and he asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Mu Jinxi raised her eyebrows and asked, "Don't tell me you didn't find anything wrong with the shopkeeper here, or I will despise you."
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao rubbed his nose, his eyes dodged, and after a while he said helplessly: "I can't help it either. Xiaoxi, I think you should choose another restaurant, let's forget about this one. The shopkeeper is not The other person is from the side branch of our Xiao family. At the beginning, that person asked my father and grandfather to ask me to arrange a place for him in the restaurant, but he didn't want to be a waiter or something, so he could only be the shopkeeper. So I don't take care of this restaurant very much, it's not that I don't know the problem, but I can't deal with it if I know it. I don't care, I'm afraid that these people will bother grandfather and father again. "
Mu Jinxi frowned, she didn't expect there was a story in the middle.
"So the shopkeeper is from the airborne troops, and came through the back door?"
Xiao Xiao, who is in the airborne troops, can't understand, but he can still understand when he walks through the back door. He nodded and said, "Well, it's through the back door, and there's something about the back door."
This man is the son of his grandfather's concubine's younger brother, who is several years younger than his father.In fact, at the beginning, the concubine's grandfather wanted his father to arrange an official position for this concubine's uncle. It didn't matter how big or small he was. He was the prime minister anyway. Wouldn't it be easy to arrange an official position for his younger brother?But neither the grandfather nor the father resolutely refused. The uncle and grandfather had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. Knowing that he opened a restaurant, he asked him to arrange the uncle to be the shopkeeper of the restaurant.
It's not that he doesn't know what he has done in private, but what can he do?He doesn't care, but grandfather and father are hard people, so as long as he doesn't go too far, he can just turn a blind eye for grandfather and father, and treat it as a reward for beggars, anyway, he doesn't lack this little money .
It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival!Are you ready for vacation?Ke Su, I heard that a typhoon is coming... When the typhoon arrives, Yuntun dare not go out, for fear that he will be blown away accidentally. If Yuntun is blown away, what should I do?
(End of this chapter)
Mu Jinxi was not surprised when she saw Jue Lin, Xiao Bao was not feeling well, and today is the Lantern Festival, no one from the Xiao family went out, nor did she agree to his invitation, he would know about it.When he found out, he would definitely come to see Xiaobao. She had never doubted his concern for Xiaobao.
When Jue Lin asked, she also told the truth. Although Jue Lin didn't think it was a big deal, he was smart enough not to say anything in front of her.
But when it comes to hiring Xiaobao a husband, he has something to say.
"Let me take care of the matter of finding a husband for Xiaobao. I will find the most suitable husband for Xiaobao, who can meet your requirements and will not delay Xiaobao's learning and growth."
This is Xiaobao's first official husband, which means a lot to Xiaobao and has a great influence on his future life, so we can't be careless.
Mu Jinxi was a little embarrassed.
"But uncle has—"
"Jin'er, I'm Xiaobao's father. I should be the one to worry about things like this. It's fine if I didn't exist before, but now that I'm here, how can I borrow someone else's hand?" Jue Lin disagreed.
If everything is done by the Xiao family, what is the value of his father?Display?
"How could it be someone else? He is my own uncle!"
"I'm still Xiaobao's father!" Jue Lin squinted at her.
Mu Jinxi choked, and almost wanted to say that she was not her real father, but luckily she stopped in time, otherwise it would really hurt Juelin's heart.
But it's hard to say for the uncle, the uncle doesn't hate Jue Lin, and he doesn't like it, but he can't say he likes it either. Now that he wants to take away the fun of being his uncle, the uncle will not be happy, right?
Maybe my uncle would take his anger out on her, and she wouldn't do such a thankless thing, otherwise I'm afraid it would bring on my uncle's resentment.
So Mu Jinxi crossed her arms, glanced at her head, and said flatly: "I don't want to say it, but you can say it yourself."
Seeing her childish appearance, Jue Lin was startled, then smiled lowly, and said, "Okay, I will solve it myself, and I won't make it difficult for you."
"By the way, take me to see Xiaobao!" Jue Lin was very worried about Xiaobao.
Who knew that Mu Jinxi frowned, shook her head and said, "No, Xiao Bao is in Ah Xiao's yard. If you go, Ah Xiao will definitely know." It's in Xiaobao's room.
If Jue Lin went, wouldn't it be that he would run into everyone? Besides, when Xiao Bao saw Jue Lin, he might act like a baby, and what she said to him during the day would be for nothing.
But Jue Lin didn't take it seriously, and said lightly: "What's the matter, Ah Xiao already knew what happened between us, so why do we still need to hide it? Isn't it superfluous?"
Mu Jinxi rolled his eyes at him: "Xiaobao is not feeling well, and everyone in the family can't wait to feel uncomfortable for him. Maybe everyone is still in Xiaobao's room right now. Didn't you bump into him when you went there?"
Jue Lin frowned, "It's so late, they should all be asleep, right?"
Mu Jinxi shook her head regretfully and said: "I'm afraid not yet. I think you'd better go back first and come back another day. Xiaobao just has a little diarrhea and it's nothing serious. You don't have to worry."
Jue Lin also shook his head and said, "It doesn't mean that you can stop worrying if you don't have to worry."
Xiaobao is his own son. He felt very regretful because he had not been involved in his previous growth. Now that he has finally recognized each other, how can he not visit him when he is sick? Xiaobao feels very sad What a pain!
Mu Jinxi frowned, agreeing with Jue Lin's words in her heart, she thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll go and see first, if uncle and the others are still there, I'll come back as soon as possible, if I don't come back after a quarter of an hour , you go quietly."
Quietly past...why does it sound like sneaking around, not seeing the light?Jue Lin smiled wryly and said, "Okay, that's the only way to go."
Mu Jinxi went to Xiaobao's room first, and sure enough, she saw a room full of people, and thought to herself that it's a good thing that Jue Lin didn't come, otherwise it would be a disaster.
Everyone was laughing and joking when they saw her coming, because they were afraid that she would come to reprimand Xiaobao again. It is so late now, if Xiaobao still has to be reprimanded, how will Xiaobao sleep tonight?
Seeing everyone's appearance, Mu Jinxi couldn't help laughing, she drove people away and said: "Okay, you guys, I didn't come here to scold Xiaobao, I just wanted to see if he was in better health, and if he still had diarrhea. .”
Everyone was startled, and it took a long time to realize that they had misunderstood Xiao Xi.
"Ah, so that's the case, hahaha, it turns out that we were thinking too much. Well, Xiaobao is fine, it's fine, he just took the medicine and fell asleep."
Mu Jinxi glanced inside suspiciously, a little in disbelief.
Xiaobao is asleep?Impossible, she had already said in the morning that she would come to see him at night, and according to her understanding of her son, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep if he didn't see her at night, how could he?
Seeing Mu Jinxi's suspicious appearance, everyone felt guilty again.
In fact, Xiaobao has been waiting for Xiaoxi, but they were worried that Xiaoxi would scold Xiaobao again, so they came out all at once when the servants came to report that Miss Biao had come, just to block Xiaoxi and not let her go. she goes in.
"Okay, you guys, I've said that I didn't come to scold Xiaobao. I already said what I should say this morning. It's getting late, you all go back, otherwise Xiaobao doesn't care if you stay here all the time Sleep, I'll go back after looking at him. I promise I won't scold him again." Mu Jinxi promised.
"Really?" Mrs. Xiao was still not at ease.
Mu Jinxi sighed helplessly: "Grandfather, I promise."
Well, since Xiaoxi has said so, everyone can only listen and leave slowly.
Seeing that everyone had left, Mu Jinxi finally breathed a sigh of relief, she was really worried that Jue Lin would come over any longer.
But before Mu Jinxi could catch her breath, a person suddenly appeared behind her, which startled her!
"Xiao Xiao, what are you doing!" It's so scary at night.
"Are you hiding something from us again?" Xiao Xiao narrowed her peachy eyes, staring at Mu Jinxi suspiciously.
Mu Jinxi sighed softly, spread her hands and said, "Jue Lin is here. He knows that Xiaobao is not feeling well, so he wants to come over to take a look. But if grandfather and the others are still here, how can he come?"
Xiao Xiao's eyes widened, "Jue Lin? He ran over?"
"Ah."
Xiao Xiao clicked his tongue a few times, touched his chin and said, "He is really brave, he dared to sneak into Xiao's residence."
"I didn't sneak in, I came in openly." Jue Lin suddenly appeared.
Xiao Xiao was startled, then looked at him contemptuously and said: "What is being upright? Only those who walk in through the main entrance are upright! Those who climb over the wall like you are called sneaking, okay?"
Jue Lin glanced at him, ignored him, and walked into the inner room.
Mu Jinxi looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "Okay, since you turned your head back, you should go outside and watch out, lest other people turn back halfway."
Mu Jinxi ordered Xiao Xiao to order it very smoothly and as a matter of course, without any sense of disobedience.
Xiao Xiao choked, and pointed at Mu Jinxi, not knowing what to say about her.
"Good men do not fight with women!"
Mu Jinxi looked at him inexplicably: "Who is fighting with you? Hurry up, or I will say that it was all your fault if something happened."
Having said that, Xiao Xiao had nothing to say, and obediently turned around and went out to watch for the wind.
When Mu Jinxi entered the inner room, Jue Lin had already hugged Xiaobao and was talking in a low voice. Xiaobao leaned against his arms, very obedient, nodding his head from time to time.
Mu Jinxi raised her eyebrows and walked over.
Seeing her, Xiao Bao was still a little worried, looked at her timidly and shouted: "Mother..."
"Is it better? Do you still have diarrhea?"
Xiaobao quickly shook his head and said: "No, after taking the medicine, I have no more diarrhea, but my stomach still feels a little uncomfortable. Mother, Xiaobao knows that he was wrong, and he will not dare to do it again."
"Well, it's a good boy who knows his mistakes and can correct them. It's just that he can't do it again in the future, you know?"
"Is mother still angry?" Xiaobao asked.This is what worries him the most. He doesn't like his mother to be angry, and he is also afraid of her being angry.
Mu Jinxi smiled and said: "Since this is the first time I have made such a mistake, my mother will not be angry this time, and I forgive you. But if there is another time, then you and your mother Let's go back to Xiushui Village together."
Hearing that he was going back to Xiushui Village, Xiaobao shook his head like a rattle, "Mother, Xiaobao really won't do it again in the future, don't go back to Xiushui Village, Xiaobao wants to be with his uncle, grandpa and great-grandfather. Don't leave Daddy!"
After Xiao Bao finished speaking, he still hugged Jue Lin desperately and did not let go, his little face was pressed tightly against Jue Lin's neck and shoulders, and Mu Jinxi was both angry and funny.
Smiling and shaking her head, Mu Jinxi walked to the side and sat down, and didn't talk much, and occasionally looked at Jue Lin and Xiao Bao, and didn't feel bored.
It's just that when she looked over again, she felt something was different.Can't help but stunned.
Little Treasure happened to put his head next to Jue Lin. He didn't know what he was talking about. Jue Lin smiled slightly and listened carefully. There were many candles lit in the room. Although the light was not very bright, it was enough to make people See everything in the room clearly, including the faces of the people in the room.
Seeing and watching, Mu Jinxi couldn't help but frowned slightly, her gaze became a little darker when she looked at the two, and there was a suspicious light in her pupils.
Is it an angle problem or a lighting problem, or is it because Jue Lin and Xiao Bao are too close that she now feels that Xiao Bao actually looks a bit like Jue Lin?She didn't realize before that Xiaobao's facial features have always been outstanding. She laughed at that time and said that looking at Xiaobao like this, his own father should also be a person with outstanding appearance. No wonder he was fascinated by him at the beginning. The original owner, let the original owner desperately want to be with him.
But she had never been curious about Xiaobao's own father, whether it was his appearance or anything else.Those things between him and the original owner have passed away, and the current Mu Jinxi is the reborn Mu Jinxi, a new Mu Jinxi, and the previous things have nothing to do with her.If the original owner was an orphan, then she would really treat everything before as a lost memory and start over.
But she has parents, an elder brother, and a son. She couldn't abandon the past, but she never thought about looking for the past, so when she heard Mo Qingcang's words, her first reaction was to deceive him with a lie, making him think Their family moved out and they are nowhere to be found.In addition, I don't know if it's because of the change of soul and the disappearance of obsessions. The memory of Xiaobao's father in her mind has gradually faded away, and she will never remember it.
So she has never had a deep look at Xiaobao's appearance, and she never said that she would associate Xiaobao with anyone for comparison.But today she discovered that Xiaobao's appearance and Jue Lin... are somewhat similar!
She didn't pay attention or care before, so she didn't notice it, but now she couldn't ignore it from such an angle.
Xiaobao’s eyes have always been big and round, but Jue Lin’s eyes are standard phoenix eyes, but now Xiaobao has opened a little, and his eyes don’t seem to be so big and round, they were originally round and small The tip of her nose is not so round now, and the bridge of her nose is straightened up a lot. Her lips are more similar to hers, but the shape of her face...
The more Mu Jinxi looked at it, the more frightened she became, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that her son and Juelin were really similar in some places!
After Jue Lin and Xiao Bao finished talking, they turned their heads and met Mu Jinxi's deep gaze, and asked in a daze, "Jin'er, what's wrong with you? What are you looking at?"
But Mu Jinxi didn't respond at all.
Jue Lin and Xiao Bao looked at each other strangely, and called again: "Jin'er, Jin'er? What are you thinking? I'm talking to you, did you hear me?"
Xiaobao also called out strangely: "Mother, mother, what's wrong with you? Why are you in a daze?"
He rarely sees his mother in a daze!
Hearing the sound, Mu Jinxi was shocked, came back to her senses, quickly put away the shock and disbelief in her eyes, and said calmly: "It's okay, I was thinking about something just now, and I thought too much at the moment. Fascinated."
"What are you thinking about? You are so engrossed in thinking that our father and son are sitting next to you, and you can ignore it. I can't imagine that if we were not by your side, would you forget us all?" Jue Lin joked .
Our father and son...how did she never realize that Jue Lin's tone of voice was so natural when he said these things before?Even if he loves Wujiwu because of her relationship and regards Xiaobao as his own son, but this attitude is too natural. She never felt that there was anything wrong before, and she was secretly happy that Jue Lin could treat Xiaobao as his own son. son.
Did she really become stupid after coming here?Such an obvious loophole, such a big tell, she didn't even see it.When Mo Qingcang came here to look for her that day, she should have guessed the sudden change of attitude. This matter was not easy, and she obviously felt something was wrong that day, why didn't she follow the clues?
Seeing that Mu Jinxi was in a trance again while talking, Jue Lin couldn't help feeling puzzled and strange.
"Jin'er, what are you thinking? We are talking, and you can be lost in thought? Could it be that Xiaobao and I have such a low sense of existence?"
Mu Jinxi suppressed the churning emotions in her heart, and said with a smile: "What else can I think about, isn't it already the end of the New Year? I have been in the capital for so long, and my plan has not yet been implemented. After waiting During this period of time, when Xiaobao's husband comes to class, I will start to be busy. I have to figure out how to start, this is not Taohua Town, I am still quite unfamiliar with the capital."
When Mu Jinxi said this, Jue Lin immediately believed it.
It turned out to be such a thing, no wonder, when these things were involved, Jin'er seemed to be a different person. I have never seen a woman who is so interested in business as she is.But even he had to admit that Jin'er had a certain talent for doing business.
"By the way, I have a shop that is very suitable for you. I will give it to you as a dowry gift. You have time to go and have a look. The location is good, the shop is quite big, and the environment is also good. You can see if it is suitable for you. What kind of shop do you want to open, or you can open a restaurant if you want to open a restaurant like you did in Taohua Town, but if you want to open a restaurant, you have to choose another shop. The area I just mentioned is not big enough for a restaurant, but for other Business should be fine."
Mu Jinxi shook her head and said, "How can I want your shop? I'm not that thick-skinned yet."
She doesn't get paid for nothing, and she doesn't care about accepting others' charity.
Jue Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "What does it matter if you are thick-skinned or not? I've said it all, it's just a small part of the betrothal gift. The date of our wedding hasn't been set yet, so I didn't send the betrothal gift over." Yes, I will ask my grandmother to come to the Xiao Mansion when I find time, and the two houses can discuss the wedding date! Then I will bring the dowry over. There are many shops, Zhuangzi, and fields under the name of the Wang Mansion, all of which can be used as dowry gifts for you. You can use it however you like."
Mu Jinxi smiled and said, "Give me what you want to eat? Don't you be afraid that I will take your things and regret not marrying you?"
Jue Lin said with a low smile: "Jin'er, you are smart, but sometimes you feel confused. You are Prime Minister Xiao's niece, where can you go? If you suddenly regret your marriage and run away by yourself, It will only hurt your family. And I don't think you will do such a thing. If you don't want to marry me, you will just tell me clearly, and then find a way to divorce, instead of running away irresponsibly. Leave your family behind."
"You believe me that much?"
"You are my fiancee, so I naturally believe in you. And you are also my son's mother, aren't you?"
Here it comes, here it comes again, this kind of tone that is too natural and confident, when did it start?When did Jue Lin start talking to her in this tone?Mu Jinxi thought about it, but couldn't remember it for a while, because she didn't pay much attention to these things before.
"You say that, do you want me to have to accept it?"
Jue Lin was startled, then smiled and said, "You can also say that."
Mu Jinxi stopped being hypocritical, and smiled heartily and generously: "Well, since your fiancé is so generous, then I don't need to be hypocritical. After all, when we get married, your things will be mine."
After a pause, he said again: "But my things are still my things." After finishing speaking, he nodded, saying that he was right, that's what he looked like, which made Juelin both surprised and funny.
It was the first time he heard her saying such a thing, but it was really bold and shocking.There has never been a woman who dared to say that. It has always been that after marriage, the woman's things will become the man's, and the man's things are still the man's.
But it doesn't matter, if she likes this way, so be it, after he gets married, he will hand over all the property in the palace to Jin'er, and I believe she will be able to handle it well.
"Well, if you like, so be it, your things are yours, and mine are yours." Jue Lin said seriously.
Mu Jinxi was surprised, looked at him and asked, "Are you serious?"
"Of course it's true. After getting married, you will be my wife. Everything in the mansion should be taken care of by you. If you don't like the complexity, you can also hand it over to the housekeeper. He has been in the mansion for dozens of years. He is an old man who was there when my father was still alive, and he is loyal to the palace."
Mu Jinxi closed her mouth that was slightly opened because of surprise, then she squinted at Jue Lin and said, "Don't think that I will be embarrassed when you say this, and then I will decline this matter, let me tell you, this is not right. Possibly. You said that, and I remember it."
Hearing Mu Jinxi's words, Jue Lin couldn't laugh or cry.
And Xiao Bao had already fallen asleep in Jue Lin's arms unknowingly.Jue Lin looked down and saw that Xiao Bao had fallen asleep, he put Xiao Bao back on the bed lightly, then covered him with a quilt carefully, and pressed down the corners of the quilt to prevent the wind from blowing in.
"It's getting late, I should go too, you go back to rest. I heard that women will grow old if they go to bed too late, you go to bed early, don't think too much about other things." Jue Lin was worried that she didn't care Shi Chen was thinking about business matters, that's why he said this.
Mu Jinxi smiled and said: "Well, you too, I'm going to sleep when I go back."
The two walked out of the inner room together, ready to go back separately.
Xiao Xiao, who had been watching the wind, couldn't help complaining when he saw Jue Lin: "I said Juelin, can't you pick another better time? What time is it now, and I still have to watch out for you, really There is no one worse than me."
"You can go back to sleep now, I'm ready to go home." Jue Lin showed great compassion.
"You are a typical example of crossing rivers and tearing down bridges, do you know that? Jue Lin, you can't do this!" Xiao Xiao felt that Jue Lin's attitude was very problematic.
Jue Lin squinted at him, and curled her thin lips lightly, "Are you sure you'll build a bridge for me?"
Seen cold by his gaze, Xiao Xiao hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, I was just joking just now. It's getting late, you should hurry back to the mansion, otherwise the old concubine will know that you are not in the mansion at this hour , will be worried. I have already said hello in advance, you can go out of my yard directly, no one will find out."
Jue Lin glanced at Xiao Xiao with a half-smile, looked at Mu Jinxi and said in a low voice, "Then I'm leaving, you should rest early."
Mu Jinxi nodded, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then be careful on the road."
Hearing her concern, Jue Lin slowly showed a gentle smile, and couldn't help reaching out and rubbing the top of her head lightly.
Mu Jinxi tilted her head, raised her hand to smooth her hair, and said, "I'm not Xiaobao, and I still touch my head and mess up my hair."
After finishing talking, I thought about what seemed to be a popular thing in the previous life?Oh, so she was killed by Jue Lin just now?Well, it's just why she didn't feel like her heart was racing, or shy and happy?
Jue Lin smiled and said, "It's not Xiaobao who can touch it, I like to touch your head like this."
Mu Jinxi couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "You should go." And she won't send it off!
Xiao Xiao also rolled his eyes and said, "Juelin, you really should go, it's really getting late."
Alas, Jue Lin was not like this before. Could it be that not only women, but also men will undergo such a big change after they touch love?I really can't imagine, the aloof little prince Juelin has changed now!
Jue Lin had a gentle face towards Mu Jinxi, but another face towards Xiao Xiao. Before leaving, he gave him a contemptuous look, which made Xiao Xiao's heart burn immediately fire.
Why despise him, he has never done anything!
After Jue Lin left, Mu Jinxi waved her hand and went back to her yard. After washing up, she lay down on the warm blanket and closed her eyes after staring at the bed curtain for a while, but her heart and mind were very busy. Active, without any sleepiness, she was thinking about the doubts she discovered tonight.
Mu Jinxi recalled everything that happened after meeting Mo Qingcang in her mind, found many details that she had neglected in the past, and figured out many things.There are mixed feelings in her heart, although she has not yet been acknowledged by Jue Lin, but she is almost sure that it is what she thinks in her heart.
The eyeballs under the eyelids were rolling, and it took an unknown amount of time before they finally stopped, leaving only normal physiological reactions. Mu Jinxi finally fell asleep, but before she fell asleep, there seemed to be a low sound coming from the bed. Sigh, sigh contains many complex emotions.
Xiaobao continued to be alive and kicking the next day. The first thing he did after he got better was to run to those servant girls whom he had teased and seriously say sorry to them. He didn't mean to tease them. Those who made them sick, also sent some gifts to those people.
In fact, although they were a little unhappy when Xiaobao teased them, they didn't think too much about it. After all, they were slaves, and Xiaobao was the master, let alone a small master. Children, it's normal to like to tease others, and they It didn't hurt much, so they didn't take this matter to heart afterward.Didn't expect the little master to come here and tell them that he was wrong and shouldn't play tricks on them? !
This made them both surprised and delighted, and they were so moved that they didn't know what to say. Although the little master was still young, this was enough, and it also paid attention to them, and the little master even gave them a gift.
Xiaobao's doing this not only resolved the subtle resentment in those people's hearts, but also made these people feel a kind of gratitude to Xiaobao in their hearts.
For servants, the best thing is to meet a good master, and now it seems that Xiaobao is a good little master now, and will be a good master in the future, as long as they serve well, he will definitely They will not be treated badly!
And Xiao Xiao also kicked out all the restless people in his yard, and re-selected some people to come in, but most of these people were selected to serve Xiaobao.
Mu Jinxi also started to prepare for opening her own shop.What Jue Lin said that day reminded her that she might be able to open a restaurant, a branch of Peach Blossom Restaurant!After all, beauty shops and the like are not very effective now, and now she only has some jasmine essential oil, which is too monotonous.It will take some time to grow lavender and roses. Other flowers can also be extracted, but it will take time.
It would be a waste of time to wait, so why not open a restaurant first?
But to open a restaurant, you have to do some research first.
Mu Jinxi's idea let Master Xiao know by accident, and with a big wave of his hand, Master Xiao asked Xiao Xiao to give her the restaurant under his own name, and she had to choose it at will!Xiao Xiao was so angry that he said that he was not his own, but floated from the moat, but Master Xiao ignored him.
After thinking about it, Mu Jinxi thinks that this is good, the risk is lower, she is not so lofty, she insists on starting her own business or something.A shrewd businessman should seize every opportunity he can, and let himself get the most benefit from it.
Well, regarding taking another restaurant from Xiao Xiao, Mu Jinxi said that this is fate!The only thing the little cousin can do is to accept this fate, who called her his own cousin?Who told her to be favored by her uncle and grandfather?
But he won't be at a disadvantage, okay, just look at the Peach Blossom Restaurant. Since she can set up one Peach Blossom Restaurant, she can naturally set up a second one, and this is the capital city!Where money is being burned, how could she not seize the opportunity?At that time, she will build the restaurant, and the little cousin will benefit from it, okay?It is guaranteed that he will make a lot of money with her!
So Mu Jinxi accepted Master Xiao's arrangement without any psychological pressure, and took Xiao Xiao to visit all the restaurants under his name when he found a chance.
"I said, little cousin, can your face not be so stinky? What will you think of me if you let others see it? Others will think that you were forced by me to go shopping!" After walking most of the way, Mu Jinxi finally couldn't bear it anymore and said to Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao squinted at Mu Jinxi: "Isn't it forced?"
He was clearly forced by his father!Xiaoxi wants to leave one of his Peach Blossom restaurants, and wants another one when he comes to the capital.Hey, he built this up with all his hard work!
"You can refuse if you don't like it!"
"You said it lightly. If I refuse, father will not kill me. Now you are the treasure of our Xiao family. I have no status." Xiao Xiao said very calmly.
"Look at you, you're promising, isn't it because I'm giving you less share? How about it, three or seven cents is the head office, right?" Mu Jinxi reluctantly gave up.
Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up, but he didn't show anything on his face, and continued to mourn.
Mu Jinxi gritted her teeth: "Siliu, I'm six and you are four! It can't be any lower!"
I really have to bow my head under the roof of others!If she had known it would be like this, she might as well have accepted Juelin's title deed!
Hearing her words, Xiao Xiao's face immediately changed from sunny to cloudy, and finally showed a smile: "Good cousin, you said this, don't go back on your word."
Mu Jinxi glanced at him contemptuously: "Look at your promising appearance, I really don't see any meaning to whether you invented the name Master Xiao yourself."
The bone fan in Xiao Xiao's hand opened with a snap, and he shook it romantically and said, "Cousin, it's better to be your true self in front of you, and pretend to be a master to outsiders."
Mu Jinxi looked at the bone fan in his hand with disgust, wondering what was the point of him shaking a fan in this cold weather?
She doesn't understand this kind of... fun. It seems that every time I see some bosses, I always like to play with two or three round jade stones in my hand, saying that they can keep fit?Can activate the meridians?But she felt that if she wanted to activate the meridians, she could do finger exercises by herself. Wouldn't it be tiring to hold all these things?
Well, everyone has their own hobbies and habits, and she shouldn't think so about other people's hobbies.
Mu Jinxi quickly conducted self-reflection.
"I hope you will always remember what you said, and only pretend to be a master in front of outsiders."
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows, noncommittal to her words.
The news that Xiao Xiao was wandering around with a woman quickly spread. After all, Xiao Xiao is also a well-known figure in the capital.
The current master of the Xiao family is the prime minister, the former master, the current Mrs. Xiao was also the prime minister, and the eldest son Xiao is also a scholar, and he was an amazing literary champion back then.Just when everyone thought that Second Young Master Xiao would also have great achievements in his official career, he unexpectedly went into business beyond everyone's expectations!It's also doing well!
Although some people ridiculed him behind the scenes, saying that he had a noble status, but he did such lowly things, willing to degenerate, etc., but this did not affect Xiao Xiao's growing business and influence in the mall in the slightest. The scope quickly covered the entire capital, and even spread to places outside the capital.
In addition, he is the second son of Xiao's mansion, and he is good friends with the young prince Juelin, and the second son of Mo Guogong's mansion is also his younger brother, so no one dared to say anything even if he walked sideways in the capital.But fortunately, although he did not inherit the achievements of the Xiao family in his official career, he did inherit the good nature of the Xiao family.As long as he didn't take the initiative to provoke him, he generally wouldn't take the initiative to torment others.
If you accidentally provoke him, then I'm sorry, he has no less than a hundred ways to torture people, and he can't find any excuses, so he can only bite his teeth and swallow blood .
Everyone pays more attention to him than the young prince Juelin. Now they heard that he took a woman around, everyone was surprised, but soon someone recognized that the woman next to him was the hottest lady in Beijing right now. : Mu Jinxi, Xiao Xiao's cousin!The fiancee of the young prince Juelin!
Xiao Xiao took Mu Jinxi to visit all the restaurants under his name, and finally there was a restaurant that was not large in size and had a slightly lower business compared to other restaurants.According to Xiao Xiao, this restaurant was the first restaurant he opened at the beginning, and it was a test of the waters, so he didn't spend a lot of thought on running it, and the rewards he got were naturally not as great as other restaurants.
Moreover, he has quite a few restaurants of all kinds in the capital, including teahouses, but now he feels that it is meaningless to open too many, they are all the same, and he is about to close one or two.This restaurant that was originally opened was also on the list of restaurants that he closed down because he felt that there was really no need for it to exist, and its mission had been completed.
Xiao Xiao hadn't been here for a long time to inspect, and now he came here suddenly, which shocked everyone in the restaurant, and Mu Jinxi also noticed a flash of panic on the shopkeeper's face, she frowned and said nothing.
After wandering around in the restaurant, Mu Jinxi's heart moved, and she decided immediately that she wanted this restaurant, but the share had to be changed, three to seven, she seven, he three.
Xiao Xiao became angry when he heard her words.
"Xiaoxi, why did you go back on your word again? You clearly agreed just now that it was four or six points, but you changed your mind in a blink of an eye. How do you do business like this? You change it day and night. The most important thing for a businessman is to be honest! Integrity understand?"
Mu Jinxi said calmly: "I said it, but haven't I made a contract yet? Since I haven't made a contract yet, everything may change. How can I go back on my word? It should be said that I am thinking deeply. Just think about it."
After a pause, he continued: "And look at your restaurant, it's not as good as the original Dataohua Restaurant, after I took over, it will take a lot of effort to rectify and improve, I don't know how much money it will cost. And the problem of your restaurant is not just about business, I will have to deal with it when the time comes, it will be very troublesome."
Xiao Xiao was taken aback, his brows frowned, Tao Hua's eyes flashed with doubt, and he asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Mu Jinxi raised her eyebrows and asked, "Don't tell me you didn't find anything wrong with the shopkeeper here, or I will despise you."
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao rubbed his nose, his eyes dodged, and after a while he said helplessly: "I can't help it either. Xiaoxi, I think you should choose another restaurant, let's forget about this one. The shopkeeper is not The other person is from the side branch of our Xiao family. At the beginning, that person asked my father and grandfather to ask me to arrange a place for him in the restaurant, but he didn't want to be a waiter or something, so he could only be the shopkeeper. So I don't take care of this restaurant very much, it's not that I don't know the problem, but I can't deal with it if I know it. I don't care, I'm afraid that these people will bother grandfather and father again. "
Mu Jinxi frowned, she didn't expect there was a story in the middle.
"So the shopkeeper is from the airborne troops, and came through the back door?"
Xiao Xiao, who is in the airborne troops, can't understand, but he can still understand when he walks through the back door. He nodded and said, "Well, it's through the back door, and there's something about the back door."
This man is the son of his grandfather's concubine's younger brother, who is several years younger than his father.In fact, at the beginning, the concubine's grandfather wanted his father to arrange an official position for this concubine's uncle. It didn't matter how big or small he was. He was the prime minister anyway. Wouldn't it be easy to arrange an official position for his younger brother?But neither the grandfather nor the father resolutely refused. The uncle and grandfather had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. Knowing that he opened a restaurant, he asked him to arrange the uncle to be the shopkeeper of the restaurant.
It's not that he doesn't know what he has done in private, but what can he do?He doesn't care, but grandfather and father are hard people, so as long as he doesn't go too far, he can just turn a blind eye for grandfather and father, and treat it as a reward for beggars, anyway, he doesn't lack this little money .
It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival!Are you ready for vacation?Ke Su, I heard that a typhoon is coming... When the typhoon arrives, Yuntun dare not go out, for fear that he will be blown away accidentally. If Yuntun is blown away, what should I do?
