The Pastoral Empress Merchant
Chapter 720
Chapter 720
Mo Xuerui?Isn't the person who came out of it Mo Xuerui?How could she come out of this private room?Wasn't the private room closed just now, and Mu Jinxi was still eavesdropping?Mu Jinhua also came out of here just now, she saw it with her own eyes!Since this is the case, then Mo Xuerui will come out of it now. Could it be that she was in the private room just now, alone with Mu Jinhua?Or is there someone else in the private room who hasn't come out yet?
Tao Baozhu was stunned, completely unable to understand what was going on in front of her.
Mo Xuerui came out with a brocade box in her hand, glanced at Tao Baozhu when she saw her, and then said to Mu Jinhua as if she hadn't arrived: "You don't want anything?"
Mu Jinhua stopped walking, looked back, and cried softly: "Oh, look at my memory, I have left such an important thing behind."
While talking, the person had already walked over to take the brocade box from Mo Xuerui's hand in two or three steps, and held it in his arms very preciously, Tao Baozhu's eyes flashed a bit of displeasure with his cautious look.
"Miss Mo, what a coincidence, you're here too." Tao Baozhu first greeted Mo Xuerui, then pretended to look curiously at the brocade box in Mu Jinhua's arms and asked, "Mr. It’s the precious brocade box, I don’t know if Baozhu can curiously ask what’s in it to make you so precious, Mr. Mu?”
Mu Jinhua didn't feel wrong after hearing this, and was about to answer honestly, but Mo Xuerui stopped her first, and she glanced at Tao Baozhu lightly and said: "This is a gift from Miss Ben." Miss Ben knows you very well? Or do you know him so well that you can ask him what gift he received?"
Tao Baozhu's complexion changed, and the smile on the corner of her mouth froze.
"Miss Mo was joking, I, I'm just curious, so, that's why..."
"Everyone has curiosity, but even if you have it, you have to see if you can satisfy your curiosity. Should you indulge yourself to be satisfied, Ms. Tao. First, you are not familiar with me, and second, you are not familiar with Xiaoxi. I don't know her elder brother well, how can you ask what is the gift in this brocade box?" Mo Xuerui looked at Tao Baozhu with disapproval, as if she had done something so rude.
"Miss Mo, I just, just..." Tao Baozhu felt aggrieved.
She was just asking curiously, and Mu Jinhua didn't say anything, why was she in a hurry?She said that this was her gift to Mu Jinhua, so it belonged to Mu Jinhua, would you like to tell her that it was all Mu Jinhua's business, wouldn't she?
And what happened to Mu Jinxi?Doesn't she know that the person Mo Xuerui likes is the young prince Juelin?Now that he knew, why did he get so close to Mo Xuerui?Aren't you afraid that Mo Xuerui will climb onto the bed of the little prince Juelin in the future?
Tao Baozhu opened her big watery eyes, lowered her head slightly, and looked at Mu Jinhua with some grievances, the resentful and pitiful eyes made Mu Jinxi shake her body uncontrollably.
Is Tao Baozhu not sick?Why did she show such an expression to her elder brother?It seems that she was bullied and asked her elder brother to help vent her anger, but she has no special relationship with her elder brother, right?It's easy to be misunderstood!
Mu Jinhua was also stiffened by Tao Baozhu's stare. She felt that her eyes were strange, but she couldn't tell what was so strange, so she could only pull the corners of her mouth and keep silent.
Mo Xuerui also saw Tao Baozhu's eyes, and immediately became unhappy. If she was unhappy, no one else would be happy either!
"Miss Tao, why are you looking at him like this? People who don't know will think that the two of you are having an adulterous affair after seeing it! Look at your little eyes that are wronged. Is this lady bullying you?" Mo Xue Rui said coldly.
"Xue Rui, why are you talking nonsense again!" Mu Jinhua was shocked when she heard her words, and hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense like this, it will be bad if it damages Miss Tao's reputation. Miss is not familiar with her, and today is only the second meeting, and there are other people around, so what are you talking about, what are you talking about! It's just nonsense!"
Mo Xuerui raised her eyebrows and said: "Of course I believe you, but other people may not be sure. Look at Miss Tao's eyes, tsk tsk tsk, it's not that this lady speaks badly, but I just feel wrong when I look at it. How can a woman How about looking at a man who is not familiar with me with such eyes? It's too uneducated!"
Tao Baozhu was almost exasperated, yelling in her heart that you have done even more egregious things, why don't you talk about yourself but talk about others?She just stared at a man, but she herself was chasing a man all over the capital, she was even more shameless, okay?
But Mo Xuerui is the daughter of the Duke's mansion, she is just a lady of an ordinary official's family, there is no comparison at all, so she can only swallow her anger.
Moreover, Mu Jinhua actually called Mo Xuerui by his name?Why did he call her Xue Rui so intimately?Do the two of them really have anything to do with each other?But how is this possible? Everyone in the capital knows that Mo Xuerui likes the young prince Juelin and has chased after him for so long. Mu Jinxi is foolish enough to want to be friends with Mo Xuerui, but Mu Jinhua probably won't Stupid enough to fall in love with such a woman, right?And Mu Jinxi's parents, did they just watch their son with such a woman?
She knew that the Mu family couple had only two siblings, Mu Jinxi and Mu Jinhua. Mu Jinhua was the only son of the Mu family. Daughter-in-law?
So, why is Mu Jinhua and Mo Xuerui so close?
Tao Baozhu was puzzled, confused, and a little anxious.This Mu Jinhua was the one I fell in love with, how could I let this woman, Mo Xuerui, snatch her away?Tao Baozhu now completely regards Mu Jinhua as her own, because he treated her very well just now, and he didn't dislike her because of the previous incident. Doesn't this prove anything?
He must also be interested in himself, after all, he can also say that he wants to have status and appearance, and it is enough to match him, a student with no fame.
Tao Baozhu still has confidence in her appearance, so she feels that as long as she thinks about it, it is worthwhile to spend a little thought to get close to Mu Jinhua... But the premise is that no one else will make trouble!Having Mu Jinxi is already very annoying, if there is another Mo Xuerui, it will be troublesome.
Not to mention Tao Baozhu, a woman who was involved again, even Mu Jinhua felt something was wrong after hearing Mo Xuerui's words, and said in a low voice: "Xuerui, don't talk about it, it's not good to be misunderstood! I'm not familiar with Miss Tao at all!"
Mo Xuerui squinted at him and asked, "Really?"
"Really, of course it is true." Mu Jinhua nodded seriously.
Mo Xuerui glanced at Tao Baozhu, raised her chin and said proudly: "Since you have said so, then I naturally believe you, it's just that men and women are different, and you should not rely too much on this kind of people in the future." It's getting closer, so as not to be misunderstood, you said it yourself."
The corner of Mu Jinhua's mouth twitched, she touched her nose and gave a hum.
Mo Xuerui was satisfied.Tao Baozhu turned her face in anger.
Mu Jinxi wiped her forehead secretly, and said: "Okay, if you have nothing to do, let's go, it would be bad if we all gather here for other guests to see."
After speaking, he smiled slightly at Tao Baozhu and said, "I hope that the service of Fangrong Pavilion can satisfy Ms. Tao. You are welcome to come again next time!"
Mu Jinxi's attitude was quite friendly, Tao Baozhu couldn't show his face to others, so he could only show a stiff smile and said, "Miss Mu, you are welcome, I like Fangrong Pavilion very much."
"That's good. I hope Fangrong Pavilion can satisfy every guest."
Mu Jinxi and the others left together after a few words of politeness, and Mo Xuerui walked beside Mu Jinhua, looking so intimate that Tao Baozhu, who stood there watching them leave, almost gritted her silver teeth.
Pulling the handkerchief vigorously, Tao Baozhu stared fixedly at the backs of several people leaving for a long time before leaving Fangrong Pavilion angrily.
After returning to the Tao Mansion, Tao Baozhu couldn't help asking her mother, Madam Tao didn't scold her, but told her honestly that the family really wanted to marry the Mu family, but the marriage still needs to be done. It's a long-term plan, after all, she still has two months to reach Ji, and people in the Xiao Mansion have also spread the word that they will not marry Mu Jinhua before Chunwei, so as not to affect his performance in the examination room.
But after the Chunwei exam, if Mu Jinhua is a good one and wins again, then he will go to the palace exam. After the palace exam is over and the results come out, there are still many things to deal with. In this way, the marriage will have to be delayed for a while. year!Moreover, their Tao family had offended the Mu family before, so they don't know if they will hold grudges against them, and if they hold grudges, what about marriage.
In fact, Mrs. Tao is not very willing to do this. So many things have happened during this period, and Mu Jinxi was originally at a disadvantage. There was a big reversal, the emperor actually wanted to make her a first-rank wife!She is nothing more than a respectful person. She, a little girl, was conferred the title of first-rank madam, and the emperor made her promise before she got married. This is simply unprecedented!
This is enough to prove that Mu Jinxi is a powerful person, and she heard that what Mu Jinxi said in the Mu family is more useful than Mu Jinhua. If her daughter married into the Mu family, wouldn't she have a good life?After all, they offended her once, who knows if she will hold grudges?So she felt that this marriage was not really possible, and there were a lot of well-known and good-looking ladies in the capital, and the Mu family didn't know if they would think highly of their Tao family!
But both the master and the eldest son think this is feasible, how do you know it won't work if you don't try it?If you become in-laws with the Mu family, it means you have a relationship with the prime minister's mansion and the king's mansion, and it's worth the risk.
They all said that, what else could she do?But think about it, if Baozhu can marry into the Mu family, she won't have to worry about it for the rest of her life.
It's just that Mrs. Tao didn't take it seriously after hearing her daughter say that the relationship between Mu Jinhua and Mo Xuerui seemed unusual. She thought it was impossible. Mo Xuerui had a crush on the little prince Juelin before, and everyone in the capital knew it. The young prince Juelin has a marriage contract with Mu Jinxi, it is impossible for the Mu family to accept Mo Xuerui as their daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Tao didn't take it seriously at all, and Tao Baozhu couldn't keep insisting that the two were really related, after all, she was just guessing.Forget it, anyway, there is still time now, don't worry, if she is interested in Mu Jinhua, she should work hard, she doesn't believe that she is worse than Mo Xuerui, at least she hasn't liked other men before.
When the autumn wind was picking up, Juelin suddenly proposed one day that he would take Mu Jinxi and Xiaobao out for an outing. Mu Jinxi thought it would be good to go out occasionally to relax, but Xiaobao hadn’t really gone out to play after coming to the capital for so long. So after thinking about it, I quickly agreed.
Xiaobao was very happy knowing that he could go out to play with his parents. The night before his departure, he was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep. He got up early the next morning. The servant girl ran towards her mother's yard, yelling nonstop as she ran, letting everyone in the mansion know. Looking at his appearance, she couldn't help but shake her head in a funny way. .
Mu Jinxi was still asleep, and felt someone wriggling and dawdling beside her, so that she had to wake up from her sleep, and just opened her eyes when she heard her son's familiar voice.
"Mother, get up quickly, get up quickly! We are going out to play with daddy today, we can't be late!" Xiaobao said loudly, shaking his mother who was still lying on the bed with his little hand, hoping that she would get up quickly.
"Xiaobao, it's still early. Your father is still sleeping. How can it be so early? And where can I go to play so early? You are too impatient." Mu Jinxi rolled her eyes and reached out to pinch her son's face, then Got up from bed.
Hearing the voices of the two talking, Caiping and Caiqing walked in with a smile. Because of Caiping's dexterity and Caiqing's cleverness, they were promoted to be the first-class maids of Mu Jinxi's body. These two usually serve Mu Jinxi many.
Firstly, Mu Jinxi doesn't like people getting too close to her, and secondly, she is not very used to the ancient people's way of serving her. She even needs someone else to take a bath and get dressed. In her opinion, it is not necessary at all, unless it is disabled. Others serve like this.She still likes to do some personal things by herself, so there were too many maids in her yard before, and they were useless, so she asked Mrs. Xiao to transfer some of them.
"Young master, I haven't gone out to play for a long time, so I'm impatient. Miss Biao, you don't understand, but you run outside every day." Cai Ping said with a smile, and quickly brought Mu Jinxi's replacement For clothes, Caiqing waits for Mu Jinxi to freshen up.
Xiao Bao nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, yes, mother doesn't understand Xiao Bao's heart at all." The tone was very aggrieved.
Mu Jinxi rinsed her mouth, and couldn't help but dislike the things here for brushing her teeth and mouthwash. It was really inconvenient, it seemed that she had to find a time to get a toothbrush out.It would be even better if we could get some toothpaste too.After rinsing her mouth, she took the wet handkerchief from Caiqing and wiped her face before sitting in front of the dressing table.
Xiaobao also moved to the dressing table, watching the color screen to comb her mother's hair.
"Mother, you are so pretty, you are the prettiest mother!" Xiaobao said sweetly, propping his face with a pair of small hands, squinting and smiling, looking at her cutely.
Mu Jinxi glanced at him amusedly and said, "When you grow up, you won't think that mother is the most beautiful mother."
Every mother is the best in front of her own children, but it may not be so when the children grow up, and the one who has to look good may become her own daughter-in-law!
Xiao Bao shook his head solemnly and said: "No, even if Xiao Bao grows up, Xiao Bao will still think that mother is the most beautiful mother!"
"Okay, now that you've said that, then mother will trust you." Mu Jinxi said with a smile.
"Today we are going out to play, so we don't need to do a complicated bun, just keep it simple." Mu Jinxi hurriedly said to the color screen who was about to give her a beautiful bun.
Caiping paused for a moment and nodded, loosened her hair, and combed it again. The simple bun took very little time, and Caiping was dexterous, so after Mu Jinxi and Xiaobao said a few words She combed her hair in the time of the sentence.
Mu Jinxi glanced sideways and said with satisfaction: "Well, it's very good, and the bun combed by the color screen suits my liking."
"If Miss Biao likes it, I will comb her hair in a bun every day after the color screen! Comb it for a lifetime!"
"Don't, don't, you can't groom me for the rest of your life, you still have to get married!"
"Miss Biao, the young master is still here, what are you talking about!" Cai Ping blushed, stomped her feet, packed up her things and left quickly.
Mu Jinxi looked at the fleeing figure on the color screen and laughed in a good mood.
"Mother, are you so happy because you can hang out with daddy and go on a date?" Xiaobao asked with his eyes turned.
The smile on Mu Jinxi's face faded away: "Nonsense! Mother is so happy because she can hang out with Xiaobao, and it has nothing to do with your father!"
Xiaobao covered his lips in a weird way and giggled.
"Mother, Dad said that you are so duplicity!"
Mu Jinxi narrowed her eyes: "Oh, your father really said that?"
Xiao Bao nodded seriously and said, "Well, that's what Dad said."
Well, he actually spoke ill of himself in front of his son!Hmph, just wait and see, he will feel better soon!Mu Jinxi secretly made a note for Jue Lin in her heart.
"Mother, let's go quickly!" Xiao Bao bouncing around while holding Mu Jinxi's hand.
"Be careful, if you fall later, you won't be able to go out today." Mu Jinxi reminded.
"Mother, Xiaobao has grown up and won't fall!"
"Oh, really? Then who almost rolled down the stairs the day before yesterday?"
"Mother!"
The two mother and son went to the front hall holding hands, talking non-stop along the way, Mu Jinxi occasionally made Xiao Bao jump, and the servants and maids who saw this scene couldn't help but secretly laughed, thinking that it was only from Miss Biao. After the family came to the mansion, the atmosphere in the mansion also changed a lot, became more cheerful, not as dull as before.
Mu Jinxi had already told the family that she would take Xiaobao and Jue Lin out to play today, so when they went out, everyone just told them to go out.
It's just that Mu Ankang and Xiao Nianxun, who have always been dull today, have some doubts in their hearts. They feel that something is wrong, and Jue Lin's attitude towards Xiaobao is too unreasonable, right?Is there really such a man in the world who can be so kind to the woman he likes and the children born to other men?Be like your own son?But Xiao Xi said that it was Jue Lin who suggested going out to play today, saying that she could develop a relationship with Xiao Bao.
Jue Lin really has nothing to say to Xiaobao, and he is willing to help bear what happened some time ago. It really can't be described as just broad-minded, he is simply a good person, a living Bodhisattva!
It's just that now the more they think about it, the more strange and suspicious they become.
Then they finally remembered a very important thing. It seems that they haven't seen Jue Lin yet?right?Have you ever seen it?
The two couples were a little dazed at the thought of this moment.It took a long time before I came back to my senses, and decided that they would have a good talk after my daughter came back!
Mu Jinxi and Xiaobao first arrived at the Wangfu in Xiaofu's carriage, and then got into the Wangfu's carriage, because the Wangfu's carriage is spacious and comfortable enough!You can sit or lie down on the carriage, and you can get everything you want. Jue Lin asked people to prepare a lot of delicious food and drinks on the carriage. As soon as Xiaobao got on the carriage, he couldn't help driving. eat up.
Mu Jinxi leaned on the soft steps of the horse and closed her eyes to catch up on sleep.She went to bed very late last night, and she still feels a little sleepy now.Covering her lips delicately, Mu Jinxi yawned, and Mu Jinxi soon fell asleep in the rickety carriage.
Jue Lin was sitting on the side with a book in his hand, and when he looked up occasionally, he couldn't help being a little funny when he saw that she had fallen asleep.Let Xiaobao, who was full, sit over, and then the two father and son looked at the same book together in a circle. Although Xiaobao didn't know many words yet, he read it with gusto.
Mu Jinxi didn't know how long she had slept, anyway, when she woke up, she had already arrived at her destination, and the two father and son sat in the carriage and looked at her with burning eyes.
"What, what's the matter? Why are you looking at me like this?" Is she drooling?Mu Jinxi couldn't help reaching out her hand to touch her mouth, and she was relieved that it was clean without drooling.
Seeing her like this, Jue Lin couldn't help laughing and said softly, "Because we arrived, we only saw you sleeping soundly, so we didn't wake you up, so we can only watch you sleep here."
Xiaobao also echoed and said: "That's right, that's right, mother, how can you sleep better than Xiaobao?"
Mu Jinxi glared at him, and said angrily: "Who told you to run into my room early in the morning and wake me up? Mother didn't go to bed until very late last night."
Little Treasure knew he had made a mistake, pouted his mouth and lowered his head, pointing at his finger, "I just want to come out and play with daddy quickly."
Jue Lin cast a funny glance at the person who deliberately tormented his son, then reached out and rubbed his son's head, comforting him silently.
Mu Jinxi snorted softly and said, "Okay, now that we've arrived, let's get out of the car and let me see where you took me to play."
After speaking, he jumped out of the carriage first, and then opened his mouth slightly in shock as he looked at the scenery in front of him.
"Wow, it's the grassland, Daddy, isn't it the grassland?" Xiao Bao cried out happily looking at the green in front of him.
"It's already autumn at this time, how can there be such a green grassland? And why didn't I know there is such a large grassland near the capital?" This is why Mu Jinxi was surprised.
It was almost late autumn at this time, and the leaves had already started to turn yellow, and the grass that had been green all spring and summer also began to turn yellow and wither, but now she actually saw such a large piece of green grass?
Jue Lin shook his head with a smile and said: "This is not a grassland, but a large horse farm and pasture. There are a large herd of horses and sheep here. I don't know why it is still so green. Anyway, this horse farm It’s still like this even in winter, unless it’s snowing.”
Mu Jinxi raised her eyebrows, so interesting?She looked around and guessed that the reason for this might be related to the terrain here. There are high mountains all around here, blocking the autumn wind that may blow from outside the mountains. The temperature is a little higher than outside the mountains. She sat When the carriage came here, I already felt it. It was already a bit cold in the capital, but after coming here, it felt like it was still summer.
But she doesn't know the specific reason, she is not a climate expert, she just guessed based on the environment here.If it is so warm here in winter, you can come here to avoid the cold, and take a vacation by the way.
After hearing Jue Lin's words, Xiao Bao asked in puzzlement, "Daddy, isn't this a grassland? But it's very big, very big, and there's a lot of grass!"
"It's not a big place with a lot of grass, it's a grassland. This is just a big horse farm with a lot of horses and sheep. Dad can take you to ride horses later!"
Xiaobao's eyes lit up, and he asked expectantly, "Really? Daddy, can Xiaobao go ride a horse?"
"Of course, Daddy brought you here just to let you have fun. You can also play with the lamb, and maybe even milk the cows yourself!"
"Really? Daddy, can Xiaobao go milk the goat?" Xiaobao's eyes widened, with a look of disbelief.
"Of course you can if you want."
"Xiaobao thinks, Xiaobao is going!" Xiaobao jumped up with joy.
Xiao Hei, who followed, was also bouncing around Xiao Bao, making Mu Jinxi want to kick him.
Xiao Hei seemed to have sensed her thoughts, quickly shrunk his body, curled his tail and hid behind Xiao Bao, staring at Mu Jinxi with a pair of bright eyes.
Looking at Xiao Hei, Mu Jinxi suddenly became interested and said, "Xiao Hei, aren't you a wolf? Wolves and sheep are natural enemies. You said that if those sheep see you later, they will play with you , or will you turn around and run away in fright?"
Xiao Hei yelled twice, expressing that he is a cutie, how could he scare away the sheep.
Xiao Bao also said: "Mother, Xiao Hei is very good, he won't scare the lamb."
Mu Jinxi nodded: "But it will most likely eat the lamb!"
Xiao Bao's eyes widened, "Mother, Xiao Hei doesn't know how to eat sheep!"
After speaking, he turned his head and asked Xiao Hei: "Xiao Hei, you don't know how to eat sheep, do you?"
Xiao Hei responded quickly, saying that he would not take the initiative to attack the sheep, but it would still eat the sheep...
"Mother, look, Xiao Hei said that he won't eat sheep anymore, you have to trust Xiao Hei!" Xiao Bao said righteously.
Mu Jinxi said solemnly: "Xiaobao, it is natural for wolves to eat sheep, you know? There is no way to change it!"
Xiao Bao pursed his mouth, hugged Jue Lin's leg and complained: "Father, look at mother, mother is old and bad, bullying Xiao Bao!"
Jue Lin touched Xiao Bao's head amusedly, and said, "Mother is playing with you!"
After finishing speaking, she looked at Mu Jinxi helplessly and said, "Stop teasing Xiaobao, why are you acting like a child? I don't care if you annoy Xiaobao later."
He found that Jin'er seemed to like teasing Xiaobao like this during this time. When he asked her, she said that watching Xiaobao grow up, she felt a little emotional. If she doesn't tease him now, she won't be able to tease him when he gets older. That tone It's a pity that he couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it.
"Okay, let's stop talking, let's go in and have a look, I haven't ridden a horse before here!" Mu Jinxi was eager to try.
In modern times, she occasionally goes to the horse farm to ride a horse to relax, but there are not many, and the horses in the modern horse farm are all domesticated in advance, and they have no temper at all. Good riding is good riding, but sometimes it is unavoidable. I feel a little regretful. These elves originally belonged to the mountains and forests, but they were kept in captivity by humans. It is a pity that they became pets of humans with a whip.
Once when she went to the horse farm, she saw a worker whipping a horse. After asking, she found out that the horse was not completely docile and tamed. With minor injuries, the horse will naturally be punished.Later, when I went back, I heard that the horse had died. The reason was that even though the horse had been beaten so many times, it still did not give in. The racecourse had to dispose of it.
After she heard it, she felt very sorry, a good horse was gone like this, she could see that the quality of the horse was quite good, what a pity.Later, she changed to another horse farm and never went to the original horse farm again.
Hearing her words, Jue Lin couldn't help raising his eyebrows and asked, "Did you ride a horse in Taohua Town before?" As far as he knew, Taohua Town didn't seem to have a horse farm, so where did she go to ride a horse?And she used to have this leisurely ride?
The expression on Mu Jinxi's face froze slightly, and she smiled and said: "Well, you misunderstood, I actually never rode a horse when I was in Peach Blossom Town, that probably has something wrong with my statement, not you I understand the meaning. How could I have ridden a horse before, I have almost never seen a horse before!"
Jue Lin originally just asked this question casually, but Mu Jinxi's explanation immediately made it seem like there is no silver 300 taels here, but he was a little strange and didn't think too much, and then said lightly: "Jin'er, You're too nervous, I'm just asking casually."
Mu Jinxi: "..."
Jue Lin ignored her froze smile and led Xiao Bao to the racecourse.
After walking a few steps, a person came out of the carriage in a hurry. He was even more surprised when he saw Jue Lin and the others, and walked over in a hurry.
"I've met the little prince! The subordinates are late to greet you, please forgive me, the little prince!"
Mu Jinxi, who was catching up, just heard these words, couldn't help raising her eyebrows, looked at Jue Lin with some surprise, and asked, "Is this racecourse yours?"
Jue Lin nodded and said, "It wasn't before, but it is now."
The corner of Mu Jinxi's mouth twitched, "When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me?" And what he said just now didn't sound like he was talking about his own horse farm at all, okay?
Jue Lin looked at her innocently and said, "It hasn't been long, you have been busy with Fangrong Pavilion, I just want to tell you that you don't have time!"
"Sophistry!" Mu Jinxi snorted softly.
Xiao Bao tugged at his hand and asked, "Daddy, does this racecourse belong to you?"
Jue Lin nodded with a smile: "Yes, Dad bought it, and you can come anytime you want in the future. In a few days, Dad will ask someone to build a separate courtyard here. If you have time, we can come and stay for a few days. Anyway, it’s not far from the capital.”
Xiao Bao looked at Jue Lin with sparkling eyes, and asked, "Daddy, does that mean that this racecourse will also belong to Xiao Bao in the future?"
The smile on Jue Lin's lips paused, and he looked at Xiao Bao dumbfounded, and said teasingly, "Daddy is still so young, so you want to inherit Daddy's property? Isn't it a bit too early?"
"Hahaha, good little treasure, good boy, I just want to think this way. We will rely on your father for food in the future, so we have to keep a close eye on your father's property, otherwise we will have a hard life." Mu Jinxi Hee hee said with a smile.
Xiao Bao nodded his head very seriously, making Jue Lin look at him really annoyed and amused, and kept shaking his head.
The racecourse manager, who was completely ignored after asking for safety, said he was embarrassed and at a loss.
I seem to have heard something that I shouldn't have heard... Before the concubine even entered the door, she thought that she wanted to seek the property of the palace?This, this is really scary, but looking at the expression and reaction of the little prince, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it...
It has long been said that the little prince is infatuated with the future princess and loves him extremely. I didn't believe it before. After all, the little prince used to have such a cold temper. It is really hard to imagine that he will be as pampered as the people outside said. a woman.But now I have to believe it.Although the two didn't talk much, there was a wordless tacit understanding in an expression, a sentence, an action, and even a smile. No one could get in that kind of harmonious atmosphere.
That's why he became an invisible man... The manager silently lamented for himself in his heart.
"Little prince..." After standing for a while, the manager had no choice but to remind me.
Jue Lin closed his smile and said softly, "Lead the way! Are all the things ready?"
"Going back to my little prince, everything is ready. I just imported a batch of horses from a neighboring country some time ago. They are of good breed. One of them is just half a year old, which is suitable for the little prince to ride and play. There is also a mare with a very temperament. She is docile, but her bloodline is very upright, she can be used as a mount for a princess." The steward continued in detail.
A few days ago, the little prince sent someone a message that he would bring the princess and the prince over to play today, and let him ride a horse and make arrangements in advance. It took him a long time to choose a suitable horse. , The horse should neither be too stubborn nor too weak, too stubborn and easy to hurt people, too weak to make people look down upon.But fortunately, some of the horses in the previous batch were good, and there was also a batch of ponies, which happened to be ridden by Xiao Shizi.
And that pony is not an ordinary horse, but a descendant of a purebred Dawan horse. The offspring born are also excellent.
Xiao Bao listened with great interest, and couldn't help interjecting to ask: "Will that pony be mine from now on?"
The manager replied respectfully: "As long as Xiao Shizi likes it, it will naturally belong to Xiao Shizi."
Xiao Bao was happily about to respond, Jue Lin said first, "Look at it first."
If it's true, then it doesn't matter, if it's not good, then it can only be regarded as Xiaobao's temporary toy.He will find better horses for him later.
"Yes, little prince, will this subordinate take you to have a look now?"
"Well, lead the way!"
The steward led Jue Lin and the others into a simple carriage, and they almost went through more than half of the carriage before arriving at the place where the horses were kept.
From a long way away, I heard the sound of horseshoes stepping on the ground and the sound of horses croaking. I knew that there must be a large group of horses in front of me. Not to mention Xiaobao, Mu Jinxi was looking forward to it.
When he arrived, the manager asked someone to lead the pony out first, Xiao Bao broke free from Jue Lin's hand and walked forward, screaming, looking at the pony in front of him with a pair of bright eyes, admiring it.
"Daddy, Xiaobao likes this horse, can Daddy give it to Xiaobao?"
Jue Lin looked at the horse first, and then nodded: "Well, this horse is not bad. If you like it, you can keep it. Dad will teach you how to ride it later."
"Well, thank you Daddy!"
Then Mu Jinxi also saw her own horse, and she herself felt very satisfied. This mare was indeed very docile. She went up to touch her, and even dawdled on her hand coquettishly, letting her I fell in love with it immediately.
After choosing the horses, the family of three took a leisurely stroll on the racecourse. As they walked, Mu Jinxi suddenly saw a worker carrying buckets of things out of the small door next to the carriage and walked to the racecourse. A river not far away, and then poured the contents into the river. Because of the distance, she didn't see clearly what the workers dumped.
She couldn't help asking curiously, "What are they pouring into the river?"
Jue Lin glanced at it and said lightly, "It should be goat's milk."
"What? Goat's milk?" Mu Jinxi's eyes widened.
Jue Lin looked at her strangely, thinking about her reaction: "What's the matter? No one drinks the goat milk, but it has to be squeezed from the goat, so it will naturally be poured out in the end."
Jue Lin's disapproving tone made Mu Jinxi's gums sore for a while.
"Is this how the goat milk is always disposed of?"
"Yeah, it's always been like this in the river."
Mu Jinxi looked at the goat milk being poured into the river with regret.
Goat's milk, it's just thrown away as garbage, Jue Lin, the prodigal thing!Rich people don't waste things like this!God, I really feel sorry for the dead, such a fall, it is equivalent to throwing away how much money!
(End of this chapter)
Mo Xuerui?Isn't the person who came out of it Mo Xuerui?How could she come out of this private room?Wasn't the private room closed just now, and Mu Jinxi was still eavesdropping?Mu Jinhua also came out of here just now, she saw it with her own eyes!Since this is the case, then Mo Xuerui will come out of it now. Could it be that she was in the private room just now, alone with Mu Jinhua?Or is there someone else in the private room who hasn't come out yet?
Tao Baozhu was stunned, completely unable to understand what was going on in front of her.
Mo Xuerui came out with a brocade box in her hand, glanced at Tao Baozhu when she saw her, and then said to Mu Jinhua as if she hadn't arrived: "You don't want anything?"
Mu Jinhua stopped walking, looked back, and cried softly: "Oh, look at my memory, I have left such an important thing behind."
While talking, the person had already walked over to take the brocade box from Mo Xuerui's hand in two or three steps, and held it in his arms very preciously, Tao Baozhu's eyes flashed a bit of displeasure with his cautious look.
"Miss Mo, what a coincidence, you're here too." Tao Baozhu first greeted Mo Xuerui, then pretended to look curiously at the brocade box in Mu Jinhua's arms and asked, "Mr. It’s the precious brocade box, I don’t know if Baozhu can curiously ask what’s in it to make you so precious, Mr. Mu?”
Mu Jinhua didn't feel wrong after hearing this, and was about to answer honestly, but Mo Xuerui stopped her first, and she glanced at Tao Baozhu lightly and said: "This is a gift from Miss Ben." Miss Ben knows you very well? Or do you know him so well that you can ask him what gift he received?"
Tao Baozhu's complexion changed, and the smile on the corner of her mouth froze.
"Miss Mo was joking, I, I'm just curious, so, that's why..."
"Everyone has curiosity, but even if you have it, you have to see if you can satisfy your curiosity. Should you indulge yourself to be satisfied, Ms. Tao. First, you are not familiar with me, and second, you are not familiar with Xiaoxi. I don't know her elder brother well, how can you ask what is the gift in this brocade box?" Mo Xuerui looked at Tao Baozhu with disapproval, as if she had done something so rude.
"Miss Mo, I just, just..." Tao Baozhu felt aggrieved.
She was just asking curiously, and Mu Jinhua didn't say anything, why was she in a hurry?She said that this was her gift to Mu Jinhua, so it belonged to Mu Jinhua, would you like to tell her that it was all Mu Jinhua's business, wouldn't she?
And what happened to Mu Jinxi?Doesn't she know that the person Mo Xuerui likes is the young prince Juelin?Now that he knew, why did he get so close to Mo Xuerui?Aren't you afraid that Mo Xuerui will climb onto the bed of the little prince Juelin in the future?
Tao Baozhu opened her big watery eyes, lowered her head slightly, and looked at Mu Jinhua with some grievances, the resentful and pitiful eyes made Mu Jinxi shake her body uncontrollably.
Is Tao Baozhu not sick?Why did she show such an expression to her elder brother?It seems that she was bullied and asked her elder brother to help vent her anger, but she has no special relationship with her elder brother, right?It's easy to be misunderstood!
Mu Jinhua was also stiffened by Tao Baozhu's stare. She felt that her eyes were strange, but she couldn't tell what was so strange, so she could only pull the corners of her mouth and keep silent.
Mo Xuerui also saw Tao Baozhu's eyes, and immediately became unhappy. If she was unhappy, no one else would be happy either!
"Miss Tao, why are you looking at him like this? People who don't know will think that the two of you are having an adulterous affair after seeing it! Look at your little eyes that are wronged. Is this lady bullying you?" Mo Xue Rui said coldly.
"Xue Rui, why are you talking nonsense again!" Mu Jinhua was shocked when she heard her words, and hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense like this, it will be bad if it damages Miss Tao's reputation. Miss is not familiar with her, and today is only the second meeting, and there are other people around, so what are you talking about, what are you talking about! It's just nonsense!"
Mo Xuerui raised her eyebrows and said: "Of course I believe you, but other people may not be sure. Look at Miss Tao's eyes, tsk tsk tsk, it's not that this lady speaks badly, but I just feel wrong when I look at it. How can a woman How about looking at a man who is not familiar with me with such eyes? It's too uneducated!"
Tao Baozhu was almost exasperated, yelling in her heart that you have done even more egregious things, why don't you talk about yourself but talk about others?She just stared at a man, but she herself was chasing a man all over the capital, she was even more shameless, okay?
But Mo Xuerui is the daughter of the Duke's mansion, she is just a lady of an ordinary official's family, there is no comparison at all, so she can only swallow her anger.
Moreover, Mu Jinhua actually called Mo Xuerui by his name?Why did he call her Xue Rui so intimately?Do the two of them really have anything to do with each other?But how is this possible? Everyone in the capital knows that Mo Xuerui likes the young prince Juelin and has chased after him for so long. Mu Jinxi is foolish enough to want to be friends with Mo Xuerui, but Mu Jinhua probably won't Stupid enough to fall in love with such a woman, right?And Mu Jinxi's parents, did they just watch their son with such a woman?
She knew that the Mu family couple had only two siblings, Mu Jinxi and Mu Jinhua. Mu Jinhua was the only son of the Mu family. Daughter-in-law?
So, why is Mu Jinhua and Mo Xuerui so close?
Tao Baozhu was puzzled, confused, and a little anxious.This Mu Jinhua was the one I fell in love with, how could I let this woman, Mo Xuerui, snatch her away?Tao Baozhu now completely regards Mu Jinhua as her own, because he treated her very well just now, and he didn't dislike her because of the previous incident. Doesn't this prove anything?
He must also be interested in himself, after all, he can also say that he wants to have status and appearance, and it is enough to match him, a student with no fame.
Tao Baozhu still has confidence in her appearance, so she feels that as long as she thinks about it, it is worthwhile to spend a little thought to get close to Mu Jinhua... But the premise is that no one else will make trouble!Having Mu Jinxi is already very annoying, if there is another Mo Xuerui, it will be troublesome.
Not to mention Tao Baozhu, a woman who was involved again, even Mu Jinhua felt something was wrong after hearing Mo Xuerui's words, and said in a low voice: "Xuerui, don't talk about it, it's not good to be misunderstood! I'm not familiar with Miss Tao at all!"
Mo Xuerui squinted at him and asked, "Really?"
"Really, of course it is true." Mu Jinhua nodded seriously.
Mo Xuerui glanced at Tao Baozhu, raised her chin and said proudly: "Since you have said so, then I naturally believe you, it's just that men and women are different, and you should not rely too much on this kind of people in the future." It's getting closer, so as not to be misunderstood, you said it yourself."
The corner of Mu Jinhua's mouth twitched, she touched her nose and gave a hum.
Mo Xuerui was satisfied.Tao Baozhu turned her face in anger.
Mu Jinxi wiped her forehead secretly, and said: "Okay, if you have nothing to do, let's go, it would be bad if we all gather here for other guests to see."
After speaking, he smiled slightly at Tao Baozhu and said, "I hope that the service of Fangrong Pavilion can satisfy Ms. Tao. You are welcome to come again next time!"
Mu Jinxi's attitude was quite friendly, Tao Baozhu couldn't show his face to others, so he could only show a stiff smile and said, "Miss Mu, you are welcome, I like Fangrong Pavilion very much."
"That's good. I hope Fangrong Pavilion can satisfy every guest."
Mu Jinxi and the others left together after a few words of politeness, and Mo Xuerui walked beside Mu Jinhua, looking so intimate that Tao Baozhu, who stood there watching them leave, almost gritted her silver teeth.
Pulling the handkerchief vigorously, Tao Baozhu stared fixedly at the backs of several people leaving for a long time before leaving Fangrong Pavilion angrily.
After returning to the Tao Mansion, Tao Baozhu couldn't help asking her mother, Madam Tao didn't scold her, but told her honestly that the family really wanted to marry the Mu family, but the marriage still needs to be done. It's a long-term plan, after all, she still has two months to reach Ji, and people in the Xiao Mansion have also spread the word that they will not marry Mu Jinhua before Chunwei, so as not to affect his performance in the examination room.
But after the Chunwei exam, if Mu Jinhua is a good one and wins again, then he will go to the palace exam. After the palace exam is over and the results come out, there are still many things to deal with. In this way, the marriage will have to be delayed for a while. year!Moreover, their Tao family had offended the Mu family before, so they don't know if they will hold grudges against them, and if they hold grudges, what about marriage.
In fact, Mrs. Tao is not very willing to do this. So many things have happened during this period, and Mu Jinxi was originally at a disadvantage. There was a big reversal, the emperor actually wanted to make her a first-rank wife!She is nothing more than a respectful person. She, a little girl, was conferred the title of first-rank madam, and the emperor made her promise before she got married. This is simply unprecedented!
This is enough to prove that Mu Jinxi is a powerful person, and she heard that what Mu Jinxi said in the Mu family is more useful than Mu Jinhua. If her daughter married into the Mu family, wouldn't she have a good life?After all, they offended her once, who knows if she will hold grudges?So she felt that this marriage was not really possible, and there were a lot of well-known and good-looking ladies in the capital, and the Mu family didn't know if they would think highly of their Tao family!
But both the master and the eldest son think this is feasible, how do you know it won't work if you don't try it?If you become in-laws with the Mu family, it means you have a relationship with the prime minister's mansion and the king's mansion, and it's worth the risk.
They all said that, what else could she do?But think about it, if Baozhu can marry into the Mu family, she won't have to worry about it for the rest of her life.
It's just that Mrs. Tao didn't take it seriously after hearing her daughter say that the relationship between Mu Jinhua and Mo Xuerui seemed unusual. She thought it was impossible. Mo Xuerui had a crush on the little prince Juelin before, and everyone in the capital knew it. The young prince Juelin has a marriage contract with Mu Jinxi, it is impossible for the Mu family to accept Mo Xuerui as their daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Tao didn't take it seriously at all, and Tao Baozhu couldn't keep insisting that the two were really related, after all, she was just guessing.Forget it, anyway, there is still time now, don't worry, if she is interested in Mu Jinhua, she should work hard, she doesn't believe that she is worse than Mo Xuerui, at least she hasn't liked other men before.
When the autumn wind was picking up, Juelin suddenly proposed one day that he would take Mu Jinxi and Xiaobao out for an outing. Mu Jinxi thought it would be good to go out occasionally to relax, but Xiaobao hadn’t really gone out to play after coming to the capital for so long. So after thinking about it, I quickly agreed.
Xiaobao was very happy knowing that he could go out to play with his parents. The night before his departure, he was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep. He got up early the next morning. The servant girl ran towards her mother's yard, yelling nonstop as she ran, letting everyone in the mansion know. Looking at his appearance, she couldn't help but shake her head in a funny way. .
Mu Jinxi was still asleep, and felt someone wriggling and dawdling beside her, so that she had to wake up from her sleep, and just opened her eyes when she heard her son's familiar voice.
"Mother, get up quickly, get up quickly! We are going out to play with daddy today, we can't be late!" Xiaobao said loudly, shaking his mother who was still lying on the bed with his little hand, hoping that she would get up quickly.
"Xiaobao, it's still early. Your father is still sleeping. How can it be so early? And where can I go to play so early? You are too impatient." Mu Jinxi rolled her eyes and reached out to pinch her son's face, then Got up from bed.
Hearing the voices of the two talking, Caiping and Caiqing walked in with a smile. Because of Caiping's dexterity and Caiqing's cleverness, they were promoted to be the first-class maids of Mu Jinxi's body. These two usually serve Mu Jinxi many.
Firstly, Mu Jinxi doesn't like people getting too close to her, and secondly, she is not very used to the ancient people's way of serving her. She even needs someone else to take a bath and get dressed. In her opinion, it is not necessary at all, unless it is disabled. Others serve like this.She still likes to do some personal things by herself, so there were too many maids in her yard before, and they were useless, so she asked Mrs. Xiao to transfer some of them.
"Young master, I haven't gone out to play for a long time, so I'm impatient. Miss Biao, you don't understand, but you run outside every day." Cai Ping said with a smile, and quickly brought Mu Jinxi's replacement For clothes, Caiqing waits for Mu Jinxi to freshen up.
Xiao Bao nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, yes, mother doesn't understand Xiao Bao's heart at all." The tone was very aggrieved.
Mu Jinxi rinsed her mouth, and couldn't help but dislike the things here for brushing her teeth and mouthwash. It was really inconvenient, it seemed that she had to find a time to get a toothbrush out.It would be even better if we could get some toothpaste too.After rinsing her mouth, she took the wet handkerchief from Caiqing and wiped her face before sitting in front of the dressing table.
Xiaobao also moved to the dressing table, watching the color screen to comb her mother's hair.
"Mother, you are so pretty, you are the prettiest mother!" Xiaobao said sweetly, propping his face with a pair of small hands, squinting and smiling, looking at her cutely.
Mu Jinxi glanced at him amusedly and said, "When you grow up, you won't think that mother is the most beautiful mother."
Every mother is the best in front of her own children, but it may not be so when the children grow up, and the one who has to look good may become her own daughter-in-law!
Xiao Bao shook his head solemnly and said: "No, even if Xiao Bao grows up, Xiao Bao will still think that mother is the most beautiful mother!"
"Okay, now that you've said that, then mother will trust you." Mu Jinxi said with a smile.
"Today we are going out to play, so we don't need to do a complicated bun, just keep it simple." Mu Jinxi hurriedly said to the color screen who was about to give her a beautiful bun.
Caiping paused for a moment and nodded, loosened her hair, and combed it again. The simple bun took very little time, and Caiping was dexterous, so after Mu Jinxi and Xiaobao said a few words She combed her hair in the time of the sentence.
Mu Jinxi glanced sideways and said with satisfaction: "Well, it's very good, and the bun combed by the color screen suits my liking."
"If Miss Biao likes it, I will comb her hair in a bun every day after the color screen! Comb it for a lifetime!"
"Don't, don't, you can't groom me for the rest of your life, you still have to get married!"
"Miss Biao, the young master is still here, what are you talking about!" Cai Ping blushed, stomped her feet, packed up her things and left quickly.
Mu Jinxi looked at the fleeing figure on the color screen and laughed in a good mood.
"Mother, are you so happy because you can hang out with daddy and go on a date?" Xiaobao asked with his eyes turned.
The smile on Mu Jinxi's face faded away: "Nonsense! Mother is so happy because she can hang out with Xiaobao, and it has nothing to do with your father!"
Xiaobao covered his lips in a weird way and giggled.
"Mother, Dad said that you are so duplicity!"
Mu Jinxi narrowed her eyes: "Oh, your father really said that?"
Xiao Bao nodded seriously and said, "Well, that's what Dad said."
Well, he actually spoke ill of himself in front of his son!Hmph, just wait and see, he will feel better soon!Mu Jinxi secretly made a note for Jue Lin in her heart.
"Mother, let's go quickly!" Xiao Bao bouncing around while holding Mu Jinxi's hand.
"Be careful, if you fall later, you won't be able to go out today." Mu Jinxi reminded.
"Mother, Xiaobao has grown up and won't fall!"
"Oh, really? Then who almost rolled down the stairs the day before yesterday?"
"Mother!"
The two mother and son went to the front hall holding hands, talking non-stop along the way, Mu Jinxi occasionally made Xiao Bao jump, and the servants and maids who saw this scene couldn't help but secretly laughed, thinking that it was only from Miss Biao. After the family came to the mansion, the atmosphere in the mansion also changed a lot, became more cheerful, not as dull as before.
Mu Jinxi had already told the family that she would take Xiaobao and Jue Lin out to play today, so when they went out, everyone just told them to go out.
It's just that Mu Ankang and Xiao Nianxun, who have always been dull today, have some doubts in their hearts. They feel that something is wrong, and Jue Lin's attitude towards Xiaobao is too unreasonable, right?Is there really such a man in the world who can be so kind to the woman he likes and the children born to other men?Be like your own son?But Xiao Xi said that it was Jue Lin who suggested going out to play today, saying that she could develop a relationship with Xiao Bao.
Jue Lin really has nothing to say to Xiaobao, and he is willing to help bear what happened some time ago. It really can't be described as just broad-minded, he is simply a good person, a living Bodhisattva!
It's just that now the more they think about it, the more strange and suspicious they become.
Then they finally remembered a very important thing. It seems that they haven't seen Jue Lin yet?right?Have you ever seen it?
The two couples were a little dazed at the thought of this moment.It took a long time before I came back to my senses, and decided that they would have a good talk after my daughter came back!
Mu Jinxi and Xiaobao first arrived at the Wangfu in Xiaofu's carriage, and then got into the Wangfu's carriage, because the Wangfu's carriage is spacious and comfortable enough!You can sit or lie down on the carriage, and you can get everything you want. Jue Lin asked people to prepare a lot of delicious food and drinks on the carriage. As soon as Xiaobao got on the carriage, he couldn't help driving. eat up.
Mu Jinxi leaned on the soft steps of the horse and closed her eyes to catch up on sleep.She went to bed very late last night, and she still feels a little sleepy now.Covering her lips delicately, Mu Jinxi yawned, and Mu Jinxi soon fell asleep in the rickety carriage.
Jue Lin was sitting on the side with a book in his hand, and when he looked up occasionally, he couldn't help being a little funny when he saw that she had fallen asleep.Let Xiaobao, who was full, sit over, and then the two father and son looked at the same book together in a circle. Although Xiaobao didn't know many words yet, he read it with gusto.
Mu Jinxi didn't know how long she had slept, anyway, when she woke up, she had already arrived at her destination, and the two father and son sat in the carriage and looked at her with burning eyes.
"What, what's the matter? Why are you looking at me like this?" Is she drooling?Mu Jinxi couldn't help reaching out her hand to touch her mouth, and she was relieved that it was clean without drooling.
Seeing her like this, Jue Lin couldn't help laughing and said softly, "Because we arrived, we only saw you sleeping soundly, so we didn't wake you up, so we can only watch you sleep here."
Xiaobao also echoed and said: "That's right, that's right, mother, how can you sleep better than Xiaobao?"
Mu Jinxi glared at him, and said angrily: "Who told you to run into my room early in the morning and wake me up? Mother didn't go to bed until very late last night."
Little Treasure knew he had made a mistake, pouted his mouth and lowered his head, pointing at his finger, "I just want to come out and play with daddy quickly."
Jue Lin cast a funny glance at the person who deliberately tormented his son, then reached out and rubbed his son's head, comforting him silently.
Mu Jinxi snorted softly and said, "Okay, now that we've arrived, let's get out of the car and let me see where you took me to play."
After speaking, he jumped out of the carriage first, and then opened his mouth slightly in shock as he looked at the scenery in front of him.
"Wow, it's the grassland, Daddy, isn't it the grassland?" Xiao Bao cried out happily looking at the green in front of him.
"It's already autumn at this time, how can there be such a green grassland? And why didn't I know there is such a large grassland near the capital?" This is why Mu Jinxi was surprised.
It was almost late autumn at this time, and the leaves had already started to turn yellow, and the grass that had been green all spring and summer also began to turn yellow and wither, but now she actually saw such a large piece of green grass?
Jue Lin shook his head with a smile and said: "This is not a grassland, but a large horse farm and pasture. There are a large herd of horses and sheep here. I don't know why it is still so green. Anyway, this horse farm It’s still like this even in winter, unless it’s snowing.”
Mu Jinxi raised her eyebrows, so interesting?She looked around and guessed that the reason for this might be related to the terrain here. There are high mountains all around here, blocking the autumn wind that may blow from outside the mountains. The temperature is a little higher than outside the mountains. She sat When the carriage came here, I already felt it. It was already a bit cold in the capital, but after coming here, it felt like it was still summer.
But she doesn't know the specific reason, she is not a climate expert, she just guessed based on the environment here.If it is so warm here in winter, you can come here to avoid the cold, and take a vacation by the way.
After hearing Jue Lin's words, Xiao Bao asked in puzzlement, "Daddy, isn't this a grassland? But it's very big, very big, and there's a lot of grass!"
"It's not a big place with a lot of grass, it's a grassland. This is just a big horse farm with a lot of horses and sheep. Dad can take you to ride horses later!"
Xiaobao's eyes lit up, and he asked expectantly, "Really? Daddy, can Xiaobao go ride a horse?"
"Of course, Daddy brought you here just to let you have fun. You can also play with the lamb, and maybe even milk the cows yourself!"
"Really? Daddy, can Xiaobao go milk the goat?" Xiaobao's eyes widened, with a look of disbelief.
"Of course you can if you want."
"Xiaobao thinks, Xiaobao is going!" Xiaobao jumped up with joy.
Xiao Hei, who followed, was also bouncing around Xiao Bao, making Mu Jinxi want to kick him.
Xiao Hei seemed to have sensed her thoughts, quickly shrunk his body, curled his tail and hid behind Xiao Bao, staring at Mu Jinxi with a pair of bright eyes.
Looking at Xiao Hei, Mu Jinxi suddenly became interested and said, "Xiao Hei, aren't you a wolf? Wolves and sheep are natural enemies. You said that if those sheep see you later, they will play with you , or will you turn around and run away in fright?"
Xiao Hei yelled twice, expressing that he is a cutie, how could he scare away the sheep.
Xiao Bao also said: "Mother, Xiao Hei is very good, he won't scare the lamb."
Mu Jinxi nodded: "But it will most likely eat the lamb!"
Xiao Bao's eyes widened, "Mother, Xiao Hei doesn't know how to eat sheep!"
After speaking, he turned his head and asked Xiao Hei: "Xiao Hei, you don't know how to eat sheep, do you?"
Xiao Hei responded quickly, saying that he would not take the initiative to attack the sheep, but it would still eat the sheep...
"Mother, look, Xiao Hei said that he won't eat sheep anymore, you have to trust Xiao Hei!" Xiao Bao said righteously.
Mu Jinxi said solemnly: "Xiaobao, it is natural for wolves to eat sheep, you know? There is no way to change it!"
Xiao Bao pursed his mouth, hugged Jue Lin's leg and complained: "Father, look at mother, mother is old and bad, bullying Xiao Bao!"
Jue Lin touched Xiao Bao's head amusedly, and said, "Mother is playing with you!"
After finishing speaking, she looked at Mu Jinxi helplessly and said, "Stop teasing Xiaobao, why are you acting like a child? I don't care if you annoy Xiaobao later."
He found that Jin'er seemed to like teasing Xiaobao like this during this time. When he asked her, she said that watching Xiaobao grow up, she felt a little emotional. If she doesn't tease him now, she won't be able to tease him when he gets older. That tone It's a pity that he couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it.
"Okay, let's stop talking, let's go in and have a look, I haven't ridden a horse before here!" Mu Jinxi was eager to try.
In modern times, she occasionally goes to the horse farm to ride a horse to relax, but there are not many, and the horses in the modern horse farm are all domesticated in advance, and they have no temper at all. Good riding is good riding, but sometimes it is unavoidable. I feel a little regretful. These elves originally belonged to the mountains and forests, but they were kept in captivity by humans. It is a pity that they became pets of humans with a whip.
Once when she went to the horse farm, she saw a worker whipping a horse. After asking, she found out that the horse was not completely docile and tamed. With minor injuries, the horse will naturally be punished.Later, when I went back, I heard that the horse had died. The reason was that even though the horse had been beaten so many times, it still did not give in. The racecourse had to dispose of it.
After she heard it, she felt very sorry, a good horse was gone like this, she could see that the quality of the horse was quite good, what a pity.Later, she changed to another horse farm and never went to the original horse farm again.
Hearing her words, Jue Lin couldn't help raising his eyebrows and asked, "Did you ride a horse in Taohua Town before?" As far as he knew, Taohua Town didn't seem to have a horse farm, so where did she go to ride a horse?And she used to have this leisurely ride?
The expression on Mu Jinxi's face froze slightly, and she smiled and said: "Well, you misunderstood, I actually never rode a horse when I was in Peach Blossom Town, that probably has something wrong with my statement, not you I understand the meaning. How could I have ridden a horse before, I have almost never seen a horse before!"
Jue Lin originally just asked this question casually, but Mu Jinxi's explanation immediately made it seem like there is no silver 300 taels here, but he was a little strange and didn't think too much, and then said lightly: "Jin'er, You're too nervous, I'm just asking casually."
Mu Jinxi: "..."
Jue Lin ignored her froze smile and led Xiao Bao to the racecourse.
After walking a few steps, a person came out of the carriage in a hurry. He was even more surprised when he saw Jue Lin and the others, and walked over in a hurry.
"I've met the little prince! The subordinates are late to greet you, please forgive me, the little prince!"
Mu Jinxi, who was catching up, just heard these words, couldn't help raising her eyebrows, looked at Jue Lin with some surprise, and asked, "Is this racecourse yours?"
Jue Lin nodded and said, "It wasn't before, but it is now."
The corner of Mu Jinxi's mouth twitched, "When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me?" And what he said just now didn't sound like he was talking about his own horse farm at all, okay?
Jue Lin looked at her innocently and said, "It hasn't been long, you have been busy with Fangrong Pavilion, I just want to tell you that you don't have time!"
"Sophistry!" Mu Jinxi snorted softly.
Xiao Bao tugged at his hand and asked, "Daddy, does this racecourse belong to you?"
Jue Lin nodded with a smile: "Yes, Dad bought it, and you can come anytime you want in the future. In a few days, Dad will ask someone to build a separate courtyard here. If you have time, we can come and stay for a few days. Anyway, it’s not far from the capital.”
Xiao Bao looked at Jue Lin with sparkling eyes, and asked, "Daddy, does that mean that this racecourse will also belong to Xiao Bao in the future?"
The smile on Jue Lin's lips paused, and he looked at Xiao Bao dumbfounded, and said teasingly, "Daddy is still so young, so you want to inherit Daddy's property? Isn't it a bit too early?"
"Hahaha, good little treasure, good boy, I just want to think this way. We will rely on your father for food in the future, so we have to keep a close eye on your father's property, otherwise we will have a hard life." Mu Jinxi Hee hee said with a smile.
Xiao Bao nodded his head very seriously, making Jue Lin look at him really annoyed and amused, and kept shaking his head.
The racecourse manager, who was completely ignored after asking for safety, said he was embarrassed and at a loss.
I seem to have heard something that I shouldn't have heard... Before the concubine even entered the door, she thought that she wanted to seek the property of the palace?This, this is really scary, but looking at the expression and reaction of the little prince, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it...
It has long been said that the little prince is infatuated with the future princess and loves him extremely. I didn't believe it before. After all, the little prince used to have such a cold temper. It is really hard to imagine that he will be as pampered as the people outside said. a woman.But now I have to believe it.Although the two didn't talk much, there was a wordless tacit understanding in an expression, a sentence, an action, and even a smile. No one could get in that kind of harmonious atmosphere.
That's why he became an invisible man... The manager silently lamented for himself in his heart.
"Little prince..." After standing for a while, the manager had no choice but to remind me.
Jue Lin closed his smile and said softly, "Lead the way! Are all the things ready?"
"Going back to my little prince, everything is ready. I just imported a batch of horses from a neighboring country some time ago. They are of good breed. One of them is just half a year old, which is suitable for the little prince to ride and play. There is also a mare with a very temperament. She is docile, but her bloodline is very upright, she can be used as a mount for a princess." The steward continued in detail.
A few days ago, the little prince sent someone a message that he would bring the princess and the prince over to play today, and let him ride a horse and make arrangements in advance. It took him a long time to choose a suitable horse. , The horse should neither be too stubborn nor too weak, too stubborn and easy to hurt people, too weak to make people look down upon.But fortunately, some of the horses in the previous batch were good, and there was also a batch of ponies, which happened to be ridden by Xiao Shizi.
And that pony is not an ordinary horse, but a descendant of a purebred Dawan horse. The offspring born are also excellent.
Xiao Bao listened with great interest, and couldn't help interjecting to ask: "Will that pony be mine from now on?"
The manager replied respectfully: "As long as Xiao Shizi likes it, it will naturally belong to Xiao Shizi."
Xiao Bao was happily about to respond, Jue Lin said first, "Look at it first."
If it's true, then it doesn't matter, if it's not good, then it can only be regarded as Xiaobao's temporary toy.He will find better horses for him later.
"Yes, little prince, will this subordinate take you to have a look now?"
"Well, lead the way!"
The steward led Jue Lin and the others into a simple carriage, and they almost went through more than half of the carriage before arriving at the place where the horses were kept.
From a long way away, I heard the sound of horseshoes stepping on the ground and the sound of horses croaking. I knew that there must be a large group of horses in front of me. Not to mention Xiaobao, Mu Jinxi was looking forward to it.
When he arrived, the manager asked someone to lead the pony out first, Xiao Bao broke free from Jue Lin's hand and walked forward, screaming, looking at the pony in front of him with a pair of bright eyes, admiring it.
"Daddy, Xiaobao likes this horse, can Daddy give it to Xiaobao?"
Jue Lin looked at the horse first, and then nodded: "Well, this horse is not bad. If you like it, you can keep it. Dad will teach you how to ride it later."
"Well, thank you Daddy!"
Then Mu Jinxi also saw her own horse, and she herself felt very satisfied. This mare was indeed very docile. She went up to touch her, and even dawdled on her hand coquettishly, letting her I fell in love with it immediately.
After choosing the horses, the family of three took a leisurely stroll on the racecourse. As they walked, Mu Jinxi suddenly saw a worker carrying buckets of things out of the small door next to the carriage and walked to the racecourse. A river not far away, and then poured the contents into the river. Because of the distance, she didn't see clearly what the workers dumped.
She couldn't help asking curiously, "What are they pouring into the river?"
Jue Lin glanced at it and said lightly, "It should be goat's milk."
"What? Goat's milk?" Mu Jinxi's eyes widened.
Jue Lin looked at her strangely, thinking about her reaction: "What's the matter? No one drinks the goat milk, but it has to be squeezed from the goat, so it will naturally be poured out in the end."
Jue Lin's disapproving tone made Mu Jinxi's gums sore for a while.
"Is this how the goat milk is always disposed of?"
"Yeah, it's always been like this in the river."
Mu Jinxi looked at the goat milk being poured into the river with regret.
Goat's milk, it's just thrown away as garbage, Jue Lin, the prodigal thing!Rich people don't waste things like this!God, I really feel sorry for the dead, such a fall, it is equivalent to throwing away how much money!
