Chapter 710 A Cook Who Can’t Cook
Jue Lin leaned over, Mu Jinxi whispered something in his ear, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, he didn't understand why she chose such a method.
"What? You don't think this is good?" Mu Jinxi raised her chin and asked.
"No, I think it's fine, whatever you say is fine."
"It's more or less the same." Mu Jinxi snorted softly, and was about to stand up and change a towel for twisting her hair, her hair was not dry yet!
But as soon as she stood up, Jue Lin grabbed her hand and pulled her back, catching her off guard, and fell back, just in time to fall into his waiting embrace.
"What are you doing?" Mu Jinxi stared and pushed Juelin.
Jue Lin looked at her innocently and said, "Didn't you seduce me just now? I'm responding to you now!"
seduce? !
Mu Jinxi almost didn't bring it up in one breath, and growled, "Who seduced you?"
"You have already seduced me. If you can't seduce me, I will run away irresponsibly." Jue Lin said solemnly.
"You are talking nonsense, who seduced you? What evidence do you have?"
"Evidence? Isn't it evidence that I'm sitting here? I was sitting on the other side just now. If you hadn't seduced me, how could I have sat here? Have you forgotten what you did just now?" Jue Lin said eloquently .
After hearing Jue Lin's words, Mu Jinxi couldn't help but turn around and think about what she had done just now, but after thinking about it again, she realized that she hadn't done anything at all, okay?
"I haven't done anything! It's obvious that you have made up your own mind and still rely on me, little prince Juelin, can you be any more shameless?" Mu Jinxi snorted.
"Don't try to deny it or admit it, it's obviously you, what did you do when you called me over just now, think about it carefully!" Jue Lin refused to admit that he had some crooked thoughts.
"Don't think about it, I am very sure that I have never done anything!" Mu Jinxi said firmly.
Well, since she doesn't admit it, I have to do it all over again, Jue Lin thought.
"Since you don't admit it, in order to clear my name, I can only do what you did just now to remind you." Jue Lin looked helpless.
The corner of Mu Jinxi's mouth twitched and said: "Okay, you do it, I want to see what I'm doing."
As a result, Jue Lin's expression changed, and in an instant, his phoenix eyes stared at Mu Jinxi affectionately, focused and affectionate, shimmering, his handsome face was so gentle that water dripped out, and his body leaned slightly towards Mu Jinxi Leaning halfway on the floppy backrest, one hand rested on the floppy backrest, and the other hand stretched out towards her. The slender index finger hooked towards her, and the moderately thick lips were slightly slanted. With his eyes and his movements, he is simply using his beauty to seduce the person opposite him.
Mu Jinxi was staring blankly, seeing that Jue Lin had completely changed into a seductive look under the dim candlelight in the room, and felt her heart beating faster, and her adrenaline began to secrete intensely...
But at this time, Jue Lin still asked with his pleasant and deep voice like a subwoofer, "Jin'er, do you remember? That's how you seduced me just now."
Mu Jinxi looked at Jue Lin stupidly, swallowed, and roared in her heart, she had never done such a thing, she just hooked her finger at him to let him come over, where? If he looks like this, is he seductive?
Shameless, the majestic little Prince Jue Lin of the Prince Mu's Mansion actually went to the point where he wanted to use his beauty to seduce women, it's simply embarrassing!Lost all the face of Prince Mu's Mansion!
Stinking rogue!What does it mean to seduce her in her room? Isn't he afraid that he will pounce on him and take away his innocence?Or did he feel that he didn't have the guts?
Humph, if he thinks so, he is very wrong, she is not those shy little sheep here!
Since he put on such an appearance waiting to be eaten, it would be a waste for her not to follow his will.
Hey, she suddenly felt that if Jue Lin was allowed to perform a striptease in front of her like a cowherd... Mu Jinxi's mind uncontrollably appeared the scene of Jue Lin performing a striptease in front of her, that vivid The fragrant scene made her drool almost flow out.
In fact, not only men are lustful, women are also lustful!Even sometimes women are more powerful than men, even more excessive!
Mu Jinxi was imagining the scene of Jue Lin dancing the striptease, her eyes were a little dull, out of focus, and she knew she was wandering somewhere else.
This made Juelin so angry, she put on such a beautiful appearance, Jin'er was obviously already tempted, wasn't she?Why did it suddenly change?Is he so unattractive to her?
"Jin'er, what are you thinking?" Jue Lin leaned over and asked very softly.
Mu Jinxi was just fantasizing, when she heard a question in her ear, she replied without thinking, "I think it would be great if Juelin did a striptease in front of me!"
The gentle smile on Jue Lin's face suddenly froze, and then cracked.
What?Did he hear correctly?Strip, strip, strip?Jin'er meant that he wanted him to dance and take off his clothes in front of her?Is that what you mean by striptease?When did Da Chu have such an obscene dance—no, such a fragrant dance?How has he never heard of it?And why would Jin'er know?Had she ever seen someone else dance?
Thinking of this, Juelin might be in a bad mood.
Jin'er belonged to him, how could she watch some other man's striptease?Unseemly!If she wanted to look at it, she had to look at his, not anyone else's, not even a woman's!
Juelin quickly made up his mind, if Jin'er wanted to watch it, then... when they got married in the future, he was willing to show it to her!Although he is not good at dancing, but he is so smart, is it afraid that he will not be able to learn it?Anyway, with the door closed, no one knows what they are doing in the room. It doesn't matter if he does a striptease for Jin'er, she is his wife, and he is willing to spoil her.
But now... Jue Lin himself should get a little reward first.
So before Mu Jinxi woke up from Juelin's fantasy of dancing a striptease, she was thrown on the soft step by the protagonist, and the exclamation she was about to say was also blocked in her mouth.
"Hmm..." Mu Jinxi glared at Jue Lin dissatisfied, how could he attack him when he was not prepared?
Meeting her fierce eyes, Jue Lin released her slightly, and said with a light smile, "Jin'er, don't worry, if you want to see Lao Shizi's striptease, I will show you, but now, I think you should Reward me first, what do you think?"
After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and kissed her slightly opened mouth again.
Mu Jinxi groaned, and tried to push the stalwart body that was pressing on her, but he didn't move like a mountain, but she was on the contrary, and was quickly defeated.
I can only swear secretly in my heart that I will make him look good after I get married!
After getting what she wanted, Juelin left contentedly. As for the purpose of coming here, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, Jin’er can handle it by herself. If this is the case, he will let her do it. If something goes wrong, he will help him. Packed up.
Mu Jinxi cursed Juelin fiercely before she lay down on the bed and turned off the light. Fortunately, she never liked maids serving in her room, otherwise she didn't know what would happen.
She found that Jue Lin was becoming more and more rampant. Last time, she didn't know if she was too provocative. Before, he was as timid as a mouse, and he didn't dare to do anything other than hold his little hand. But now he has jumped several levels at once, and he likes to touch her!Sure enough, men can't give him sweets, and once he eats it, he becomes insatiable!
Although she was angry in her heart, but she just had a good time with her mouth, Mu Jinxi cursed Jue Lin in a low voice, and then quickly let go, thinking about her own affairs instead.
Just now she told Jue Lin the solution she wanted to use, and Jue Lin should have no objection, so she has to think about what to do, and who should let this unlucky person do it Woolen cloth?
Thinking about when she fell asleep, she didn't know, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already the next morning.
I haven't had a good rest in the past few days due to the dismissal. I can finally rest a little bit today. Those who should come to congratulate me have already come here once. There should be no one who will come again. .
After receiving the betrothal gift, Xiao's mansion did not plan to stay in the future, and planned to let Mu Jinxi take all of them to the palace when she got married, and forget it as a dowry.In addition to these, they will also prepare a dowry equivalent to the bride price, so as not to embarrass her in front of people in the capital.
Although there is still more than half a year before the wedding day, Mrs. Xiao thinks it is okay to start preparations now. It will take several months to complete a good wedding dress!Xiaoxi should not expect her to embroider her own wedding dress. My sister said that Xiaoxi's female popularity can be said to be horrible, and I don't know how to practice when I was a child. Let alone a wedding dress, she can embroider a single dress It's very good, so let's ask the best embroiderer to complete the wedding dress.
There are also some other things in the dowry that need to be prepared in advance. In the past, there were no girls in the Xiao residence, and it never occurred to me that one day the lost lady would be found back. The young lady also gave birth to a young lady. In the future, the young lady will She got married in the Xiao Manor, so the Xiao Manor didn't have many things suitable for dowry at all, only a small amount, and many of them needed to be purchased separately.
Of course, no matter whether it is Mrs. Xiao, Master Xiao or Mrs. Xiao, they all agree to search for treasures in the warehouse of the Xiao Mansion and put them in the dowry. It must not be inferior to the dowry of the Wang Mansion.
Mu Jinxi was taken aback when she heard about her family's thoughts. Although she didn't know what they would prepare, she felt bad just hearing what they said. After dissuasion was ineffective, she could only let them do what they wanted That's how it came, anyway, she doesn't need to prepare it herself, if she had to prepare it, she would definitely collapse, it's too troublesome, even more troublesome than getting married in modern times!
While Mu Jinxi was busy with her own affairs, she also kept an eye on the affairs of the Cao Mansion, as if she was too busy.
The crystal bayberry wine from Taohua Town has been transported to the capital by water, along with watermelon and other fruit crops. Both the crystal bayberry wine and watermelon will be sold in restaurants, but they are not transported to restaurants all at once.Moreover, the crystal red bayberry wine had already been ordered by people from Xiao Mansion, Wang Mansion, and Mo Mansion before it was transported to the capital. In this way, nearly one-third of the quantity was lost, which made her very speechless.
But everyone didn't care about her. After the crystal bayberry wine was shipped to the capital, the various governments immediately sent people to take away their share. Of course, they didn't forget to leave the corresponding money, although Mu Jinxi made a fortune. , but she felt upset in her heart!She planned to use this crystal bayberry wine to increase her popularity in the capital, but now, nearly one-third of it is gone!What else?
But complaints are nothing but complaints, and Mu Jinxi can only make a good plan on how to use the remaining crystal bayberry wine.
Finally, after thinking about it, Mu Jinxi decided not to sell the crystal bayberry wine in her own restaurant for the time being, but in a restaurant under the name of Wangfu. This restaurant is also well-known in the capital, not just because of the restaurant. Behind it is the Wangfu, and because of the exquisite and diverse dishes of the restaurant, it may have better results to sell the crystal red bayberry wine in the restaurant of the Wangfu, and make the best use of everything.
As for watermelon and the like, I put it in my own restaurant. Anyway, if there is no accident, watermelon will be produced in the capital next year, but crystal bayberry wine is not so easy. To make wine, you must have raw materials. Crystal bayberry is not available yet. Do you know if it is suitable for production in Beijing?If it is placed in modern times, there is a way, but here, if it is not suitable, it may be difficult to grow. Even if it is barely grown, the quality of the grown fruit will not be good, so it is better to transport it from Peach Blossom Town every year.
These two things were sought after by everyone as soon as they appeared, and the crystal red bayberry wine was sold out. The speed was beyond Mu Jinxi's expectation.Because this is the capital city, Mu Jinxi has increased the price of crystal bayberry wine a lot, more than double the price in Taohua Town, because the cost has increased, and crystal bayberry wine is a new thing, everyone may I won't accept it all at once, and the price is expensive.
She thought it would take a while to promote it, but she didn't expect that it would be so popular without her promoting it at all. If she still promotes... Well, the consequences may be more troublesome, because there is not much crystal bayberry wine, and the supply is far less than demand. If the noise is too big, it will be difficult to deal with, it will easily offend people, and it will not be good for the sales of crystal bayberry wine in the future. If it creates a bad impression, it will be troublesome to reverse it in the future.
The popularity of crystal bayberry wine made people in all the prefectures secretly rejoice. Fortunately, they were smart and ordered a batch early. Otherwise, they would have to go to the restaurant to fight like those people. How can it be in their own mansion like now Can you just take a sip leisurely?Although this Crystal Bayberry Bar can't compare with good wines, even some slightly better wines, but this doesn't affect my love for it in the slightest!Xiaoxi said, this is not wine, it's just called wine, of course it can't be compared with real wine, and wine hurts the body, this is for health, can it be the same?
In the blink of an eye, the day of Qiu Wei came, and as the day of Qiu Wei approached, the people in the Xiao Mansion became more and more nervous, not to mention now, because tomorrow is the first day of Qiu Wei!
That night, Mrs. Xiao ordered the servants in the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner, thinking it was for Xiao Hua's autumn exam tomorrow. They couldn't do anything for Xiao Hua, they could only prepare a good meal before his exam. Give him food to let him feel the support of his family.
Mu Jinxi also got into the kitchen and worked all afternoon, helping to prepare dinner. Although she is not good at cooking, who gave her a very useful brain and mouth?When the cook was cooking, she stood aside and instructed the cook how to do it. The cook in Xiao's mansion was a little strange and puzzled at first. What is this cousin doing in the kitchen?There is heavy oily smoke here, except for the servants in the mansion, the master will generally not enter the kitchen, let alone someone as delicate as Miss Biao.
But when Mu Jinxi showed her hand, the cook fell silent. I really didn't expect Miss Biao to have such a skill!He had never heard of those dishes that Ms. Biao said before, let alone cooked them. Thanks to Ms. Biao’s blessing today, otherwise he really would not have been so lucky to see it.
Seeing how excited the cook was, Mu Jinxi generously said that if she had time in the future, she would come to the kitchen to talk to him, and give them a few pointers.The cooks were very happy in their hearts, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with the cousin who couldn't cook being able to guide them who had been in the kitchen for decades.
When Mu Jinhua came back from the Imperial College, it was time for dinner, because tomorrow is the day to participate in the first autumn session, and the students of the Imperial College are seizing the last time to learn as much as possible. I was going to come back, but I was held back by a friend in the same class, so I wasted a little time there, and I am only coming back now.
As soon as Mu Jinhua came back, the servant girl came forward and said that everyone was waiting for him to come back for dinner in the front hall, and now there are still a few dishes to serve.As soon as he heard this, he hurriedly walked over in two steps, how could he let the elders in the family wait for him to eat alone?
"Grandfather, uncle, aunt, parents, I'm really sorry, I was delayed by some things today, so I came back late." Mu Jinhua said guiltily as soon as she entered the front hall.
Grandpa Xiao looked at his grandson and said with a smile: "It's not too late, it's not too late, the dishes are not ready yet, don't be in a hurry, you should sit down and drink some water, your forehead is sweating .Tomorrow is the day for the Qiu Wei exam, what if you feel uncomfortable?"
Mrs. Xiao hurriedly ordered to the maid beside her, "Hurry up and get a handkerchief to wipe your cousin!"
The maid left in a hurry and quickly returned with a handkerchief and handed it to Mu Jinhua. Mu Jinhua took it and wiped her forehead before saying, "Thank you, auntie."
"Thank you for what the family said, you, but you can't change this problem." Mrs. Xiao shook her head and said amusedly.
"Even a family needs to be grateful, so that we can get along more happily." Mu Jinhua also has her own words.
After wiping, he handed the veil to the servant girl behind him, looked around and didn't see his sister, and couldn't help but asked a little strangely: "Why don't you see Xiaoxi? Has she gone out?"
No way, Xiao Xi didn't go out because it was approaching Qiu Wei these days, she said she wanted to stay with him in the mansion, today he went to the Imperial College, and she went out with her?
"Cousin, you are blessed. The girl Xiaoxi said that you have an exam tomorrow, so she went to the cook to prepare a sumptuous meal for you. We owe it to you to be lucky!" Xiao Xiao said loudly said with a sigh.
"Little cousin, it's wrong for you to say that, as if I'm biased, in order to show that I treat everyone equally, how about this, when you get married in the future, I will draw up a menu, so that the banquet at your wedding banquet will be the only one in the capital." Is this enough loyalty?" After Mu Jinxi came out of the kitchen, she went back to her yard to change a set of clothes before coming here. Who knew that she heard Xiao Xiao's words when she first arrived here, and immediately replied loudly. road.
Xiao Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "How many years do we have to wait?"
Mu Jinxi giggled: "It's up to you. If you want to get married at the end of the year, then it's the end of the year. If you want to get married next year, then next year. It's best before I get married, otherwise I'll get married , and came back to help prepare the banquet, I wonder if your future wife will be angry if she finds out!"
As soon as Mu Jinxi's words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.
Xiao Xiao snorted softly and said: "If she dares to have an opinion on you, I won't marry you. It's hard to find a three-legged toad, but isn't it easy to find a two-legged woman?"
Mu Jinxi burst out laughing, Mrs. Xiao glared at her youngest son angrily, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! If word of yours gets out, whose lady would dare to marry you?"
"Mother, if you don't want to marry me, you can marry Eldest Brother. I know that besides Jue Lin, the most popular man in this capital is Elder Brother. Eldest Brother is the beloved man in the hearts of thousands of women, the lover of dreams! "
Hearing the words, Xiao Yu, who was lying innocently on the gun, raised his eyes to look at his younger brother, and said warmly: "It's easy for me to marry a wife. As long as I let the word out, there will be plenty of matchmakers who will come to me and let me choose. It's just I'm afraid you will be in a little trouble, after all, people outside say that the Xiao mansion will belong to me in the future, and you won't get a cent, so you have to go out of the mansion to do business."
When Mu Jinxi heard this, she became curious and asked, "Big cousin, there is still such a saying in the capital? Why don't I know?"
Xiao Yu glanced at Mu Jinxi and said with a slight smile: "This was said a few years ago, and it must have changed a bit now, so you haven't heard of it."
"What's going on, please tell me, big cousin!" Mu Jinxi was very curious, how could outsiders say that little cousin couldn't inherit a single cent of Xiao's mansion?
The little cousin didn't seem to have said it very miserable. Although the uncle often scolded the little cousin, saying that he was useless or something, but she could tell that it was just what the uncle said. To the little cousin, uncle I still love her very much, no worse than my big cousin!
There is also the grandfather, who has a different feeling for the little cousin than the big cousin, and seems to be closer to the little cousin. She guesses that this may have something to do with the two cousins' personalities.The eldest cousin is a more serious and meticulous person. He probably wouldn't bicker with his grandfather like the younger cousin. The younger cousin is different. He lives a more chic and casual life and gets along with his family more. He can do whatever he wants, and has always been the kind who can say whatever he likes, and dare to say anything.
But although the two have different personalities, uncle and the others have different attitudes towards the two, but she can feel that the two cousins have the same status in their hearts, so why do they say that?Isn't this generally only for the bastards who are not favored, or who have been despised?
Hearing Mu Jinxi's question, Xiao Xiao hurriedly said: "Brother, it's been so long, don't you need to talk about it? Xiao Xi, you don't need to know these things, there is nothing to say."
Mu Jinhua glanced at him lightly and said coolly: "Little cousin, do you know what your name is? There is no silver 300 taels here!"
Xiao Xiao choked, and had nothing to say.
Mu Jinxi giggled and said, "Little cousin, the more you act like this, the more curious I become. Originally, I just asked casually. Who knew you were so nervous, so it can be seen that there is indeed a story in it. Big cousin , you speak quickly, I want to listen."
"Let father talk about this." Xiao Yu said.
Mu Jinxi looked at her uncle in surprise, why?Could it be that this matter has something to do with uncle?
Except for the Mu family, everyone present was speechless, Mrs. Xiao even glared at Mr. Xiao.
Mr. Xiao laughed a little awkwardly and said: "Xiaoxi, this is actually nothing. It happened a few years ago. Your little cousin was difficult to teach at that time. He didn't listen to what anyone said, and often provoked him. I had to get angry. Once I was on the street, and I happened to meet him who was doing something, which made the whole street riot. I thought it was him who caused trouble, so, just—"
Xiao Xiao interrupted him with a soft snort, and continued: "Father taught me a lesson indiscriminately in the street, and said that the Xiao family will not have a son like me in the future, so let me get out of the Xiao residence!"
Everyone in the Mu family opened their mouths slightly in surprise, how could they say such heavy words?
Xiao Nianxun looked at her elder brother with disapproval, thinking that he was too much, no matter what, she couldn't say that about Ah Xiao in front of so many people, besides, she thought Ah Xiao was a very good kid, He doesn't look like someone who can make troubles, big brother really!
Faced with his younger sister's accusing gaze, Master Xiao rubbed his nose and said, "Didn't you be upright at that time? When I saw that he didn't know what he was doing, and he was very wild during that time, I was in a hurry, so I... ..."
Speaking of this matter, Mr. Xiao also felt very guilty. He misunderstood his youngest son, but he yelled out. So many people on the street heard it at that time, so it was useless even if he tried to explain it?So those words came out afterwards, saying that Ah Xiao couldn't like him, that he hated this son very much, and that he would have no part in everything in the Xiao Mansion in the future...
He was surprised. He just said those words in a moment of anger. Whose father has never been angry with his son. Can you believe what he said when he was angry?Where did he act that he didn't like this son?Does he treat the two sons equally?
But it's impossible for him, the prime minister, to explain it specifically for this matter, right?I can only wait, when these rumors fade away, people in the capital will naturally forget about it, and everyone has eyes, so don't they usually see that he likes his youngest son very much?
"Ah?" The members of the Mu family were all stunned. Because of this, there was such a rumor?
"Is it because of this?" Mu Jinxi still couldn't believe it.
Xiao Xiao nodded expressionlessly and said, "That's it."
Mu Jinxi looked at Xiao Xiao pitifully and sympathetically, that look made the corner of Xiao Xiao's mouth twitch uncontrollably, what kind of look did she have, did she pity him?What's so pitiful, it's just someone else's nonsense, and it's not true.
"Hahaha, let's not talk, let's not talk, Xiaoxi has worked hard today, cooking such a large table of dishes by herself, we have to taste it." Master Xiao hurriedly changed the subject.
After all, this matter is an embarrassment, so let's not talk about it.
Seeing the dishes on the table, Mu Jinhua smiled and said, "Uncle, how about I make a bet with you?"
Master Xiao stroked his beard and asked, "Oh, Xiao Hua, what bet do you want to bet?"
Everyone looked at the two with great interest.
Mu Jinhua smiled slightly, pointed to the delicacies on the table and said, "I bet these dishes are not made by Xiao Xi!"
"Ah?" Everyone was stunned again, didn't Xiaoxi do it?impossible?
Master Xiao also didn't believe it, he shook his head and said, "How is this possible? It was obviously made by Xiaoxi, and she has been busy in the kitchen for a long time."
"That's why I want to make a bet with my uncle. If the dishes on this table are really made by Xiaoxi herself, then I will lose. I can promise anything to uncle. If it is not made by Xiaoxi, then I will be considered a winner. Then How about uncle giving me a set of ancient books?"
"Okay, just follow what you said, Xiaoxi, tell me, did you cook this dish?" Master Xiao set his eyes on his niece.
The others also looked at her strangely, not understanding why Xiaohua said that, she had been busy in the kitchen for a long time.
Mu Jinxi rubbed her nose in embarrassment and smiled, but didn't speak.
It was Xiao Xiao who couldn't wait to say: "Let me tell you about this, I know! The dishes on this table must not have been made by Xiaoxi, you don't know, Xiaoxi only has one powerful mouth, how could she know that?" Cooking, if she cooks, I'm afraid she will be poisoned to death!"
Mu Jinxi stared, unconvinced, "What are you talking about? Didn't you eat it last time, why didn't it poison you to death?"
"Xiao Xi, what are you talking about!" Xiao Nianxun reprimanded softly, neither big nor small, neither serious nor serious.
Mu Jinxi looked back at her mother innocently, and it wasn't her who said it, it was her little cousin, why did she blame her.
Master Xiao still didn't believe it, looked at Mu Jinxi and asked, "Xiaoxi, tell me, you only believe uncle when you tell me."
Mu Jinxi spread her hands and said, "Uncle, I really don't know how to cook. I'm just giving instructions in the kitchen. I don't cook the dishes myself."
Then he became confident again: "Although I didn't cook it myself, it's all due to me. If it wasn't for me, would the chef in the house be able to make such a dish?"
"Hehehe..." Everyone was stunned for a while and came back to their senses. They didn't know what expressions to show, and finally Mrs. Xiao covered her lips and coughed lightly: "Yes, Xiaoxi is right, it's all Xiaoxi's credit. Okay, okay, everyone is here, let's start cooking, otherwise the food will be cold, and Xiaoxi's efforts will be wasted. Xiaohua, you have to give it a good taste, These are Xiao Xi's preparations for your exam tomorrow, and you will have the energy to take the exam well when you are full."
"Auntie, I know, don't worry everyone, I will definitely do my best tomorrow!"
Mrs. Xiao had been smiling and watching his son and his grandchildren making trouble together, and now he also said: "Well, that's right, let's not talk about it now, let's have dinner! Let us all have a little bit of fun too. Let Xi guide the dishes to see if they are different from what you usually eat."
After Mrs. Xiao moved the chopsticks, everyone moved the chopsticks. After tasting it, everyone showed a look of surprise on their faces. They all said that the taste of these dishes is very good. Some of them have been eaten before, but the method is different. The taste is different, Xiaoxi seems to be more delicious doing this today, I don't know if it's because they all eat it at once.
Mu Jinxi is also very happy to be affirmed by everyone. After all, these people are her family, and today's meal is also her heart. It is best if everyone likes it, otherwise she will be very disappointed.
There are not so many rules at the dinner table of the Xiao family. They can talk even when they are eating, especially when Mu Jinxi and Xiao Xiao are there. These two people are usually responsible for enlivening the atmosphere at the dinner table. Today Mu Jinxi is even more strict. She worked hard, as if to keep her elder brother from getting nervous, Mu Jinhua didn't say anything, but she was very moved in her heart.
Everyone had a great time eating the meal. After the meal, everyone sat in the living room and chatted for a while. After seeing that it was getting late, they separated. Let Mu Jinhua go back to rest early, and don't study too late , so as not to affect tomorrow's performance in the examination room.
Mu Ankang and his wife originally wanted to say something to their son, but they were afraid that if they said it, it would make their son even more nervous, so they hesitated. In the end, Mu Jinhua couldn't see it anymore, and took the initiative to go to the parents to comfort him. After a few words, the two went back to the room in peace.
Mu Jinxi walked very quickly, without stopping at all, as if not worried at all, Xiao Xiao patted him on the shoulder and said nothing, but his encouragement and support were self-evident.
As the former number one scholar, Xiao Yu told Mu Jinhua some of his experience, and then told him not to be nervous when he was in the examination room, but to correct his attitude, this is the most important thing.
Mu Jinhua remembered all of them in her heart.
Unexpectedly, after returning to the room, the boy sent a piece of letter paper, he opened it suspiciously, he was a little dumbfounded, and his mood suddenly became lighter.
It turned out that this letter was actually written by Xiaobao!
Xiao Bao was taken to the palace by Jue Lin today, and he stayed in the palace, but he did not forget that tomorrow is the day of his uncle's exam. Before leaving, he wrote a letter with his own little hand to leave Uncle, some words of encouragement were written in childish fonts in the letter. It was simple and straightforward, and at the end he said that he believed that uncle would pass the exam smoothly!
Although he went to the palace tonight and couldn't speak words of encouragement to his uncle himself, but next time, he will definitely say it to his uncle himself!
Mu Jinhua finished reading the letter Xiaobao left for her, and couldn't help showing a relaxed smile on her face. She shook her head gently, washed up, read the book for a while, then turned off the light and went to sleep. It turned out to be a good night's sleep.
The next day, Mu Jinhua walked into the examination room very calmly.
In the past few days, everyone in Xiao's family has been thinking about Mu Jinhua's exam in their hearts, and even Master Xiao hastily returned home after he came down to court.
Although he is the prime minister of Da Chu, he also participated in the preparation of the imperial examination, but he is not a person who will bend the law for his own relatives, let alone such an important matter as the imperial examination, if he does it for Xiaohua's convenience The door, that is not helping Xiao Hua but harming him.A manly man just wants to make his way out of the world by his own ability.
Xiao's carriage had already been waiting outside the tribute courtyard. As soon as Mu Jinhua came out, she was urged by the people in the residence to get on the carriage and go back to the residence before she even had time to say a few words to her companions. She just returned to the residence. Everyone surrounded him and started asking questions in a hurry. It can be seen that he couldn't bear it anymore and was very worried. That's why he was so eager. He forgot that it was agreed at the beginning that no one was allowed to ask him when he came back.
Mu Jinhua looked at her family with some amusement, and when they had calmed down, she said calmly and naturally, she felt very good, there should be no problem, and he should be able to pass the first exam smoothly.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they believed everything he said, and since he said it should be fine, then it was fine.
After getting a satisfactory answer, everyone dispersed immediately, as if nothing had happened. Mu Jinhua was stunned for a while before she recovered. situation?
Sighing lightly, Mu Jinhua shook his head and walked slowly towards his yard. Today's exam is only the first one, and there are two more to come. up.
Mu Jinhua was taking the test here, and Mu Jinxi was not idle. Seeing that the day before the opening of her red building was approaching, she went to the red building for the last time before the opening, and did not sit in the carriage until she was sure that there was no problem. It's just that after a lively reception, I accidentally saw a familiar face through the gap of the fluttering curtain, it was Cao Hexiang.
Seeing Cao Hexiang and Mu Jinxi raise her eyebrows, is this person lifted?Figured this out?Mu Jinxi expressed doubts, but as long as she lives in peace, nothing will happen, but if she doesn't know how to repent, then she doesn't know what is waiting for her. It all depends on her outcome. Herself.
It's just the person next to her... Mu Jinxi narrowed her eyes, a mysterious smile curled up on the corner of her mouth, she looked away and stopped paying attention to them.
(End of this chapter)
Jue Lin leaned over, Mu Jinxi whispered something in his ear, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, he didn't understand why she chose such a method.
"What? You don't think this is good?" Mu Jinxi raised her chin and asked.
"No, I think it's fine, whatever you say is fine."
"It's more or less the same." Mu Jinxi snorted softly, and was about to stand up and change a towel for twisting her hair, her hair was not dry yet!
But as soon as she stood up, Jue Lin grabbed her hand and pulled her back, catching her off guard, and fell back, just in time to fall into his waiting embrace.
"What are you doing?" Mu Jinxi stared and pushed Juelin.
Jue Lin looked at her innocently and said, "Didn't you seduce me just now? I'm responding to you now!"
seduce? !
Mu Jinxi almost didn't bring it up in one breath, and growled, "Who seduced you?"
"You have already seduced me. If you can't seduce me, I will run away irresponsibly." Jue Lin said solemnly.
"You are talking nonsense, who seduced you? What evidence do you have?"
"Evidence? Isn't it evidence that I'm sitting here? I was sitting on the other side just now. If you hadn't seduced me, how could I have sat here? Have you forgotten what you did just now?" Jue Lin said eloquently .
After hearing Jue Lin's words, Mu Jinxi couldn't help but turn around and think about what she had done just now, but after thinking about it again, she realized that she hadn't done anything at all, okay?
"I haven't done anything! It's obvious that you have made up your own mind and still rely on me, little prince Juelin, can you be any more shameless?" Mu Jinxi snorted.
"Don't try to deny it or admit it, it's obviously you, what did you do when you called me over just now, think about it carefully!" Jue Lin refused to admit that he had some crooked thoughts.
"Don't think about it, I am very sure that I have never done anything!" Mu Jinxi said firmly.
Well, since she doesn't admit it, I have to do it all over again, Jue Lin thought.
"Since you don't admit it, in order to clear my name, I can only do what you did just now to remind you." Jue Lin looked helpless.
The corner of Mu Jinxi's mouth twitched and said: "Okay, you do it, I want to see what I'm doing."
As a result, Jue Lin's expression changed, and in an instant, his phoenix eyes stared at Mu Jinxi affectionately, focused and affectionate, shimmering, his handsome face was so gentle that water dripped out, and his body leaned slightly towards Mu Jinxi Leaning halfway on the floppy backrest, one hand rested on the floppy backrest, and the other hand stretched out towards her. The slender index finger hooked towards her, and the moderately thick lips were slightly slanted. With his eyes and his movements, he is simply using his beauty to seduce the person opposite him.
Mu Jinxi was staring blankly, seeing that Jue Lin had completely changed into a seductive look under the dim candlelight in the room, and felt her heart beating faster, and her adrenaline began to secrete intensely...
But at this time, Jue Lin still asked with his pleasant and deep voice like a subwoofer, "Jin'er, do you remember? That's how you seduced me just now."
Mu Jinxi looked at Jue Lin stupidly, swallowed, and roared in her heart, she had never done such a thing, she just hooked her finger at him to let him come over, where? If he looks like this, is he seductive?
Shameless, the majestic little Prince Jue Lin of the Prince Mu's Mansion actually went to the point where he wanted to use his beauty to seduce women, it's simply embarrassing!Lost all the face of Prince Mu's Mansion!
Stinking rogue!What does it mean to seduce her in her room? Isn't he afraid that he will pounce on him and take away his innocence?Or did he feel that he didn't have the guts?
Humph, if he thinks so, he is very wrong, she is not those shy little sheep here!
Since he put on such an appearance waiting to be eaten, it would be a waste for her not to follow his will.
Hey, she suddenly felt that if Jue Lin was allowed to perform a striptease in front of her like a cowherd... Mu Jinxi's mind uncontrollably appeared the scene of Jue Lin performing a striptease in front of her, that vivid The fragrant scene made her drool almost flow out.
In fact, not only men are lustful, women are also lustful!Even sometimes women are more powerful than men, even more excessive!
Mu Jinxi was imagining the scene of Jue Lin dancing the striptease, her eyes were a little dull, out of focus, and she knew she was wandering somewhere else.
This made Juelin so angry, she put on such a beautiful appearance, Jin'er was obviously already tempted, wasn't she?Why did it suddenly change?Is he so unattractive to her?
"Jin'er, what are you thinking?" Jue Lin leaned over and asked very softly.
Mu Jinxi was just fantasizing, when she heard a question in her ear, she replied without thinking, "I think it would be great if Juelin did a striptease in front of me!"
The gentle smile on Jue Lin's face suddenly froze, and then cracked.
What?Did he hear correctly?Strip, strip, strip?Jin'er meant that he wanted him to dance and take off his clothes in front of her?Is that what you mean by striptease?When did Da Chu have such an obscene dance—no, such a fragrant dance?How has he never heard of it?And why would Jin'er know?Had she ever seen someone else dance?
Thinking of this, Juelin might be in a bad mood.
Jin'er belonged to him, how could she watch some other man's striptease?Unseemly!If she wanted to look at it, she had to look at his, not anyone else's, not even a woman's!
Juelin quickly made up his mind, if Jin'er wanted to watch it, then... when they got married in the future, he was willing to show it to her!Although he is not good at dancing, but he is so smart, is it afraid that he will not be able to learn it?Anyway, with the door closed, no one knows what they are doing in the room. It doesn't matter if he does a striptease for Jin'er, she is his wife, and he is willing to spoil her.
But now... Jue Lin himself should get a little reward first.
So before Mu Jinxi woke up from Juelin's fantasy of dancing a striptease, she was thrown on the soft step by the protagonist, and the exclamation she was about to say was also blocked in her mouth.
"Hmm..." Mu Jinxi glared at Jue Lin dissatisfied, how could he attack him when he was not prepared?
Meeting her fierce eyes, Jue Lin released her slightly, and said with a light smile, "Jin'er, don't worry, if you want to see Lao Shizi's striptease, I will show you, but now, I think you should Reward me first, what do you think?"
After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and kissed her slightly opened mouth again.
Mu Jinxi groaned, and tried to push the stalwart body that was pressing on her, but he didn't move like a mountain, but she was on the contrary, and was quickly defeated.
I can only swear secretly in my heart that I will make him look good after I get married!
After getting what she wanted, Juelin left contentedly. As for the purpose of coming here, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, Jin’er can handle it by herself. If this is the case, he will let her do it. If something goes wrong, he will help him. Packed up.
Mu Jinxi cursed Juelin fiercely before she lay down on the bed and turned off the light. Fortunately, she never liked maids serving in her room, otherwise she didn't know what would happen.
She found that Jue Lin was becoming more and more rampant. Last time, she didn't know if she was too provocative. Before, he was as timid as a mouse, and he didn't dare to do anything other than hold his little hand. But now he has jumped several levels at once, and he likes to touch her!Sure enough, men can't give him sweets, and once he eats it, he becomes insatiable!
Although she was angry in her heart, but she just had a good time with her mouth, Mu Jinxi cursed Jue Lin in a low voice, and then quickly let go, thinking about her own affairs instead.
Just now she told Jue Lin the solution she wanted to use, and Jue Lin should have no objection, so she has to think about what to do, and who should let this unlucky person do it Woolen cloth?
Thinking about when she fell asleep, she didn't know, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already the next morning.
I haven't had a good rest in the past few days due to the dismissal. I can finally rest a little bit today. Those who should come to congratulate me have already come here once. There should be no one who will come again. .
After receiving the betrothal gift, Xiao's mansion did not plan to stay in the future, and planned to let Mu Jinxi take all of them to the palace when she got married, and forget it as a dowry.In addition to these, they will also prepare a dowry equivalent to the bride price, so as not to embarrass her in front of people in the capital.
Although there is still more than half a year before the wedding day, Mrs. Xiao thinks it is okay to start preparations now. It will take several months to complete a good wedding dress!Xiaoxi should not expect her to embroider her own wedding dress. My sister said that Xiaoxi's female popularity can be said to be horrible, and I don't know how to practice when I was a child. Let alone a wedding dress, she can embroider a single dress It's very good, so let's ask the best embroiderer to complete the wedding dress.
There are also some other things in the dowry that need to be prepared in advance. In the past, there were no girls in the Xiao residence, and it never occurred to me that one day the lost lady would be found back. The young lady also gave birth to a young lady. In the future, the young lady will She got married in the Xiao Manor, so the Xiao Manor didn't have many things suitable for dowry at all, only a small amount, and many of them needed to be purchased separately.
Of course, no matter whether it is Mrs. Xiao, Master Xiao or Mrs. Xiao, they all agree to search for treasures in the warehouse of the Xiao Mansion and put them in the dowry. It must not be inferior to the dowry of the Wang Mansion.
Mu Jinxi was taken aback when she heard about her family's thoughts. Although she didn't know what they would prepare, she felt bad just hearing what they said. After dissuasion was ineffective, she could only let them do what they wanted That's how it came, anyway, she doesn't need to prepare it herself, if she had to prepare it, she would definitely collapse, it's too troublesome, even more troublesome than getting married in modern times!
While Mu Jinxi was busy with her own affairs, she also kept an eye on the affairs of the Cao Mansion, as if she was too busy.
The crystal bayberry wine from Taohua Town has been transported to the capital by water, along with watermelon and other fruit crops. Both the crystal bayberry wine and watermelon will be sold in restaurants, but they are not transported to restaurants all at once.Moreover, the crystal red bayberry wine had already been ordered by people from Xiao Mansion, Wang Mansion, and Mo Mansion before it was transported to the capital. In this way, nearly one-third of the quantity was lost, which made her very speechless.
But everyone didn't care about her. After the crystal bayberry wine was shipped to the capital, the various governments immediately sent people to take away their share. Of course, they didn't forget to leave the corresponding money, although Mu Jinxi made a fortune. , but she felt upset in her heart!She planned to use this crystal bayberry wine to increase her popularity in the capital, but now, nearly one-third of it is gone!What else?
But complaints are nothing but complaints, and Mu Jinxi can only make a good plan on how to use the remaining crystal bayberry wine.
Finally, after thinking about it, Mu Jinxi decided not to sell the crystal bayberry wine in her own restaurant for the time being, but in a restaurant under the name of Wangfu. This restaurant is also well-known in the capital, not just because of the restaurant. Behind it is the Wangfu, and because of the exquisite and diverse dishes of the restaurant, it may have better results to sell the crystal red bayberry wine in the restaurant of the Wangfu, and make the best use of everything.
As for watermelon and the like, I put it in my own restaurant. Anyway, if there is no accident, watermelon will be produced in the capital next year, but crystal bayberry wine is not so easy. To make wine, you must have raw materials. Crystal bayberry is not available yet. Do you know if it is suitable for production in Beijing?If it is placed in modern times, there is a way, but here, if it is not suitable, it may be difficult to grow. Even if it is barely grown, the quality of the grown fruit will not be good, so it is better to transport it from Peach Blossom Town every year.
These two things were sought after by everyone as soon as they appeared, and the crystal red bayberry wine was sold out. The speed was beyond Mu Jinxi's expectation.Because this is the capital city, Mu Jinxi has increased the price of crystal bayberry wine a lot, more than double the price in Taohua Town, because the cost has increased, and crystal bayberry wine is a new thing, everyone may I won't accept it all at once, and the price is expensive.
She thought it would take a while to promote it, but she didn't expect that it would be so popular without her promoting it at all. If she still promotes... Well, the consequences may be more troublesome, because there is not much crystal bayberry wine, and the supply is far less than demand. If the noise is too big, it will be difficult to deal with, it will easily offend people, and it will not be good for the sales of crystal bayberry wine in the future. If it creates a bad impression, it will be troublesome to reverse it in the future.
The popularity of crystal bayberry wine made people in all the prefectures secretly rejoice. Fortunately, they were smart and ordered a batch early. Otherwise, they would have to go to the restaurant to fight like those people. How can it be in their own mansion like now Can you just take a sip leisurely?Although this Crystal Bayberry Bar can't compare with good wines, even some slightly better wines, but this doesn't affect my love for it in the slightest!Xiaoxi said, this is not wine, it's just called wine, of course it can't be compared with real wine, and wine hurts the body, this is for health, can it be the same?
In the blink of an eye, the day of Qiu Wei came, and as the day of Qiu Wei approached, the people in the Xiao Mansion became more and more nervous, not to mention now, because tomorrow is the first day of Qiu Wei!
That night, Mrs. Xiao ordered the servants in the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner, thinking it was for Xiao Hua's autumn exam tomorrow. They couldn't do anything for Xiao Hua, they could only prepare a good meal before his exam. Give him food to let him feel the support of his family.
Mu Jinxi also got into the kitchen and worked all afternoon, helping to prepare dinner. Although she is not good at cooking, who gave her a very useful brain and mouth?When the cook was cooking, she stood aside and instructed the cook how to do it. The cook in Xiao's mansion was a little strange and puzzled at first. What is this cousin doing in the kitchen?There is heavy oily smoke here, except for the servants in the mansion, the master will generally not enter the kitchen, let alone someone as delicate as Miss Biao.
But when Mu Jinxi showed her hand, the cook fell silent. I really didn't expect Miss Biao to have such a skill!He had never heard of those dishes that Ms. Biao said before, let alone cooked them. Thanks to Ms. Biao’s blessing today, otherwise he really would not have been so lucky to see it.
Seeing how excited the cook was, Mu Jinxi generously said that if she had time in the future, she would come to the kitchen to talk to him, and give them a few pointers.The cooks were very happy in their hearts, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with the cousin who couldn't cook being able to guide them who had been in the kitchen for decades.
When Mu Jinhua came back from the Imperial College, it was time for dinner, because tomorrow is the day to participate in the first autumn session, and the students of the Imperial College are seizing the last time to learn as much as possible. I was going to come back, but I was held back by a friend in the same class, so I wasted a little time there, and I am only coming back now.
As soon as Mu Jinhua came back, the servant girl came forward and said that everyone was waiting for him to come back for dinner in the front hall, and now there are still a few dishes to serve.As soon as he heard this, he hurriedly walked over in two steps, how could he let the elders in the family wait for him to eat alone?
"Grandfather, uncle, aunt, parents, I'm really sorry, I was delayed by some things today, so I came back late." Mu Jinhua said guiltily as soon as she entered the front hall.
Grandpa Xiao looked at his grandson and said with a smile: "It's not too late, it's not too late, the dishes are not ready yet, don't be in a hurry, you should sit down and drink some water, your forehead is sweating .Tomorrow is the day for the Qiu Wei exam, what if you feel uncomfortable?"
Mrs. Xiao hurriedly ordered to the maid beside her, "Hurry up and get a handkerchief to wipe your cousin!"
The maid left in a hurry and quickly returned with a handkerchief and handed it to Mu Jinhua. Mu Jinhua took it and wiped her forehead before saying, "Thank you, auntie."
"Thank you for what the family said, you, but you can't change this problem." Mrs. Xiao shook her head and said amusedly.
"Even a family needs to be grateful, so that we can get along more happily." Mu Jinhua also has her own words.
After wiping, he handed the veil to the servant girl behind him, looked around and didn't see his sister, and couldn't help but asked a little strangely: "Why don't you see Xiaoxi? Has she gone out?"
No way, Xiao Xi didn't go out because it was approaching Qiu Wei these days, she said she wanted to stay with him in the mansion, today he went to the Imperial College, and she went out with her?
"Cousin, you are blessed. The girl Xiaoxi said that you have an exam tomorrow, so she went to the cook to prepare a sumptuous meal for you. We owe it to you to be lucky!" Xiao Xiao said loudly said with a sigh.
"Little cousin, it's wrong for you to say that, as if I'm biased, in order to show that I treat everyone equally, how about this, when you get married in the future, I will draw up a menu, so that the banquet at your wedding banquet will be the only one in the capital." Is this enough loyalty?" After Mu Jinxi came out of the kitchen, she went back to her yard to change a set of clothes before coming here. Who knew that she heard Xiao Xiao's words when she first arrived here, and immediately replied loudly. road.
Xiao Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "How many years do we have to wait?"
Mu Jinxi giggled: "It's up to you. If you want to get married at the end of the year, then it's the end of the year. If you want to get married next year, then next year. It's best before I get married, otherwise I'll get married , and came back to help prepare the banquet, I wonder if your future wife will be angry if she finds out!"
As soon as Mu Jinxi's words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.
Xiao Xiao snorted softly and said: "If she dares to have an opinion on you, I won't marry you. It's hard to find a three-legged toad, but isn't it easy to find a two-legged woman?"
Mu Jinxi burst out laughing, Mrs. Xiao glared at her youngest son angrily, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! If word of yours gets out, whose lady would dare to marry you?"
"Mother, if you don't want to marry me, you can marry Eldest Brother. I know that besides Jue Lin, the most popular man in this capital is Elder Brother. Eldest Brother is the beloved man in the hearts of thousands of women, the lover of dreams! "
Hearing the words, Xiao Yu, who was lying innocently on the gun, raised his eyes to look at his younger brother, and said warmly: "It's easy for me to marry a wife. As long as I let the word out, there will be plenty of matchmakers who will come to me and let me choose. It's just I'm afraid you will be in a little trouble, after all, people outside say that the Xiao mansion will belong to me in the future, and you won't get a cent, so you have to go out of the mansion to do business."
When Mu Jinxi heard this, she became curious and asked, "Big cousin, there is still such a saying in the capital? Why don't I know?"
Xiao Yu glanced at Mu Jinxi and said with a slight smile: "This was said a few years ago, and it must have changed a bit now, so you haven't heard of it."
"What's going on, please tell me, big cousin!" Mu Jinxi was very curious, how could outsiders say that little cousin couldn't inherit a single cent of Xiao's mansion?
The little cousin didn't seem to have said it very miserable. Although the uncle often scolded the little cousin, saying that he was useless or something, but she could tell that it was just what the uncle said. To the little cousin, uncle I still love her very much, no worse than my big cousin!
There is also the grandfather, who has a different feeling for the little cousin than the big cousin, and seems to be closer to the little cousin. She guesses that this may have something to do with the two cousins' personalities.The eldest cousin is a more serious and meticulous person. He probably wouldn't bicker with his grandfather like the younger cousin. The younger cousin is different. He lives a more chic and casual life and gets along with his family more. He can do whatever he wants, and has always been the kind who can say whatever he likes, and dare to say anything.
But although the two have different personalities, uncle and the others have different attitudes towards the two, but she can feel that the two cousins have the same status in their hearts, so why do they say that?Isn't this generally only for the bastards who are not favored, or who have been despised?
Hearing Mu Jinxi's question, Xiao Xiao hurriedly said: "Brother, it's been so long, don't you need to talk about it? Xiao Xi, you don't need to know these things, there is nothing to say."
Mu Jinhua glanced at him lightly and said coolly: "Little cousin, do you know what your name is? There is no silver 300 taels here!"
Xiao Xiao choked, and had nothing to say.
Mu Jinxi giggled and said, "Little cousin, the more you act like this, the more curious I become. Originally, I just asked casually. Who knew you were so nervous, so it can be seen that there is indeed a story in it. Big cousin , you speak quickly, I want to listen."
"Let father talk about this." Xiao Yu said.
Mu Jinxi looked at her uncle in surprise, why?Could it be that this matter has something to do with uncle?
Except for the Mu family, everyone present was speechless, Mrs. Xiao even glared at Mr. Xiao.
Mr. Xiao laughed a little awkwardly and said: "Xiaoxi, this is actually nothing. It happened a few years ago. Your little cousin was difficult to teach at that time. He didn't listen to what anyone said, and often provoked him. I had to get angry. Once I was on the street, and I happened to meet him who was doing something, which made the whole street riot. I thought it was him who caused trouble, so, just—"
Xiao Xiao interrupted him with a soft snort, and continued: "Father taught me a lesson indiscriminately in the street, and said that the Xiao family will not have a son like me in the future, so let me get out of the Xiao residence!"
Everyone in the Mu family opened their mouths slightly in surprise, how could they say such heavy words?
Xiao Nianxun looked at her elder brother with disapproval, thinking that he was too much, no matter what, she couldn't say that about Ah Xiao in front of so many people, besides, she thought Ah Xiao was a very good kid, He doesn't look like someone who can make troubles, big brother really!
Faced with his younger sister's accusing gaze, Master Xiao rubbed his nose and said, "Didn't you be upright at that time? When I saw that he didn't know what he was doing, and he was very wild during that time, I was in a hurry, so I... ..."
Speaking of this matter, Mr. Xiao also felt very guilty. He misunderstood his youngest son, but he yelled out. So many people on the street heard it at that time, so it was useless even if he tried to explain it?So those words came out afterwards, saying that Ah Xiao couldn't like him, that he hated this son very much, and that he would have no part in everything in the Xiao Mansion in the future...
He was surprised. He just said those words in a moment of anger. Whose father has never been angry with his son. Can you believe what he said when he was angry?Where did he act that he didn't like this son?Does he treat the two sons equally?
But it's impossible for him, the prime minister, to explain it specifically for this matter, right?I can only wait, when these rumors fade away, people in the capital will naturally forget about it, and everyone has eyes, so don't they usually see that he likes his youngest son very much?
"Ah?" The members of the Mu family were all stunned. Because of this, there was such a rumor?
"Is it because of this?" Mu Jinxi still couldn't believe it.
Xiao Xiao nodded expressionlessly and said, "That's it."
Mu Jinxi looked at Xiao Xiao pitifully and sympathetically, that look made the corner of Xiao Xiao's mouth twitch uncontrollably, what kind of look did she have, did she pity him?What's so pitiful, it's just someone else's nonsense, and it's not true.
"Hahaha, let's not talk, let's not talk, Xiaoxi has worked hard today, cooking such a large table of dishes by herself, we have to taste it." Master Xiao hurriedly changed the subject.
After all, this matter is an embarrassment, so let's not talk about it.
Seeing the dishes on the table, Mu Jinhua smiled and said, "Uncle, how about I make a bet with you?"
Master Xiao stroked his beard and asked, "Oh, Xiao Hua, what bet do you want to bet?"
Everyone looked at the two with great interest.
Mu Jinhua smiled slightly, pointed to the delicacies on the table and said, "I bet these dishes are not made by Xiao Xi!"
"Ah?" Everyone was stunned again, didn't Xiaoxi do it?impossible?
Master Xiao also didn't believe it, he shook his head and said, "How is this possible? It was obviously made by Xiaoxi, and she has been busy in the kitchen for a long time."
"That's why I want to make a bet with my uncle. If the dishes on this table are really made by Xiaoxi herself, then I will lose. I can promise anything to uncle. If it is not made by Xiaoxi, then I will be considered a winner. Then How about uncle giving me a set of ancient books?"
"Okay, just follow what you said, Xiaoxi, tell me, did you cook this dish?" Master Xiao set his eyes on his niece.
The others also looked at her strangely, not understanding why Xiaohua said that, she had been busy in the kitchen for a long time.
Mu Jinxi rubbed her nose in embarrassment and smiled, but didn't speak.
It was Xiao Xiao who couldn't wait to say: "Let me tell you about this, I know! The dishes on this table must not have been made by Xiaoxi, you don't know, Xiaoxi only has one powerful mouth, how could she know that?" Cooking, if she cooks, I'm afraid she will be poisoned to death!"
Mu Jinxi stared, unconvinced, "What are you talking about? Didn't you eat it last time, why didn't it poison you to death?"
"Xiao Xi, what are you talking about!" Xiao Nianxun reprimanded softly, neither big nor small, neither serious nor serious.
Mu Jinxi looked back at her mother innocently, and it wasn't her who said it, it was her little cousin, why did she blame her.
Master Xiao still didn't believe it, looked at Mu Jinxi and asked, "Xiaoxi, tell me, you only believe uncle when you tell me."
Mu Jinxi spread her hands and said, "Uncle, I really don't know how to cook. I'm just giving instructions in the kitchen. I don't cook the dishes myself."
Then he became confident again: "Although I didn't cook it myself, it's all due to me. If it wasn't for me, would the chef in the house be able to make such a dish?"
"Hehehe..." Everyone was stunned for a while and came back to their senses. They didn't know what expressions to show, and finally Mrs. Xiao covered her lips and coughed lightly: "Yes, Xiaoxi is right, it's all Xiaoxi's credit. Okay, okay, everyone is here, let's start cooking, otherwise the food will be cold, and Xiaoxi's efforts will be wasted. Xiaohua, you have to give it a good taste, These are Xiao Xi's preparations for your exam tomorrow, and you will have the energy to take the exam well when you are full."
"Auntie, I know, don't worry everyone, I will definitely do my best tomorrow!"
Mrs. Xiao had been smiling and watching his son and his grandchildren making trouble together, and now he also said: "Well, that's right, let's not talk about it now, let's have dinner! Let us all have a little bit of fun too. Let Xi guide the dishes to see if they are different from what you usually eat."
After Mrs. Xiao moved the chopsticks, everyone moved the chopsticks. After tasting it, everyone showed a look of surprise on their faces. They all said that the taste of these dishes is very good. Some of them have been eaten before, but the method is different. The taste is different, Xiaoxi seems to be more delicious doing this today, I don't know if it's because they all eat it at once.
Mu Jinxi is also very happy to be affirmed by everyone. After all, these people are her family, and today's meal is also her heart. It is best if everyone likes it, otherwise she will be very disappointed.
There are not so many rules at the dinner table of the Xiao family. They can talk even when they are eating, especially when Mu Jinxi and Xiao Xiao are there. These two people are usually responsible for enlivening the atmosphere at the dinner table. Today Mu Jinxi is even more strict. She worked hard, as if to keep her elder brother from getting nervous, Mu Jinhua didn't say anything, but she was very moved in her heart.
Everyone had a great time eating the meal. After the meal, everyone sat in the living room and chatted for a while. After seeing that it was getting late, they separated. Let Mu Jinhua go back to rest early, and don't study too late , so as not to affect tomorrow's performance in the examination room.
Mu Ankang and his wife originally wanted to say something to their son, but they were afraid that if they said it, it would make their son even more nervous, so they hesitated. In the end, Mu Jinhua couldn't see it anymore, and took the initiative to go to the parents to comfort him. After a few words, the two went back to the room in peace.
Mu Jinxi walked very quickly, without stopping at all, as if not worried at all, Xiao Xiao patted him on the shoulder and said nothing, but his encouragement and support were self-evident.
As the former number one scholar, Xiao Yu told Mu Jinhua some of his experience, and then told him not to be nervous when he was in the examination room, but to correct his attitude, this is the most important thing.
Mu Jinhua remembered all of them in her heart.
Unexpectedly, after returning to the room, the boy sent a piece of letter paper, he opened it suspiciously, he was a little dumbfounded, and his mood suddenly became lighter.
It turned out that this letter was actually written by Xiaobao!
Xiao Bao was taken to the palace by Jue Lin today, and he stayed in the palace, but he did not forget that tomorrow is the day of his uncle's exam. Before leaving, he wrote a letter with his own little hand to leave Uncle, some words of encouragement were written in childish fonts in the letter. It was simple and straightforward, and at the end he said that he believed that uncle would pass the exam smoothly!
Although he went to the palace tonight and couldn't speak words of encouragement to his uncle himself, but next time, he will definitely say it to his uncle himself!
Mu Jinhua finished reading the letter Xiaobao left for her, and couldn't help showing a relaxed smile on her face. She shook her head gently, washed up, read the book for a while, then turned off the light and went to sleep. It turned out to be a good night's sleep.
The next day, Mu Jinhua walked into the examination room very calmly.
In the past few days, everyone in Xiao's family has been thinking about Mu Jinhua's exam in their hearts, and even Master Xiao hastily returned home after he came down to court.
Although he is the prime minister of Da Chu, he also participated in the preparation of the imperial examination, but he is not a person who will bend the law for his own relatives, let alone such an important matter as the imperial examination, if he does it for Xiaohua's convenience The door, that is not helping Xiao Hua but harming him.A manly man just wants to make his way out of the world by his own ability.
Xiao's carriage had already been waiting outside the tribute courtyard. As soon as Mu Jinhua came out, she was urged by the people in the residence to get on the carriage and go back to the residence before she even had time to say a few words to her companions. She just returned to the residence. Everyone surrounded him and started asking questions in a hurry. It can be seen that he couldn't bear it anymore and was very worried. That's why he was so eager. He forgot that it was agreed at the beginning that no one was allowed to ask him when he came back.
Mu Jinhua looked at her family with some amusement, and when they had calmed down, she said calmly and naturally, she felt very good, there should be no problem, and he should be able to pass the first exam smoothly.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they believed everything he said, and since he said it should be fine, then it was fine.
After getting a satisfactory answer, everyone dispersed immediately, as if nothing had happened. Mu Jinhua was stunned for a while before she recovered. situation?
Sighing lightly, Mu Jinhua shook his head and walked slowly towards his yard. Today's exam is only the first one, and there are two more to come. up.
Mu Jinhua was taking the test here, and Mu Jinxi was not idle. Seeing that the day before the opening of her red building was approaching, she went to the red building for the last time before the opening, and did not sit in the carriage until she was sure that there was no problem. It's just that after a lively reception, I accidentally saw a familiar face through the gap of the fluttering curtain, it was Cao Hexiang.
Seeing Cao Hexiang and Mu Jinxi raise her eyebrows, is this person lifted?Figured this out?Mu Jinxi expressed doubts, but as long as she lives in peace, nothing will happen, but if she doesn't know how to repent, then she doesn't know what is waiting for her. It all depends on her outcome. Herself.
It's just the person next to her... Mu Jinxi narrowed her eyes, a mysterious smile curled up on the corner of her mouth, she looked away and stopped paying attention to them.
