The Pastoral Empress Merchant
Chapter 736
Chapter 736
Mu Jinxi really ate a big meal, but Ling Muhua felt that she was not eating, but venting, which made him feel a little sympathetic to Juelin. He felt that Juelin would not want to sleep well tonight I see, unless those people just now are really not from Juelin's grandfather's family, otherwise... huh, Xiaoxi will be very angry!
In fact, Mu Jinxi is not very angry, but just very depressed. After all, until today, she didn't know that these people existed. She is Jue Lin's wife now, and she didn't even know her husband or any relatives. I don't know, what is this?
This depressed mood lasted until she returned to Prince Mu's Mansion.
She couldn't question the old concubine, so she could only continue to wait in the room for Juelin to come back and ask him again, but Juelin didn't know what was going on and didn't come back today, which made her more and more irritable and almost ran away.
"What's wrong with you? Did something happen again?" After Jue Lin came back, he first went to see the old concubine, and then went to Xiao Bao's, so he returned to the room so late, thinking that she was asleep.
Because his one-month deadline has not yet come, in order not to go against his own self-control, he thinks it is better for him to go back to the room later, and it is best that she has already fallen asleep, so that he can suffer less torture.
Who knew that when he just stepped in, he saw a depressed and irritable face, and he was very surprised, thinking that she had encountered some troubles again.
Seeing that he came back, Mu Jinxi lost her temper immediately, looked at him expressionlessly and said, "You can be regarded as coming back."
Jue Lin trembled a little involuntarily. He always felt that she was gnashing her teeth when she said this, which made him beat up in his heart. He began to wonder if he had done something wrong again, and then quickly recalled his recent past in his heart— — No, did she do anything she shouldn't have done today? When she went out today, she was obviously fine with a smile on her face, but after he came back, she became like this.
"Ah, yes, I, I'm back, why are you still awake?" Jue Lin asked cautiously.
"I'm waiting for you!" Mu Jinxi smiled.
"What am I waiting for? Is there anything important that I have to talk about today? It's so late now, why don't you rest first, and I'll go wash up." Jue Lin suggested.
But Mu Jinxi stretched out her hand and hooked her fingers at him, fixed her eyes on him and said, "Come here, I have something to ask you."
Juelin was very hesitant, wanting to be useless, but he finally moved his feet and walked over to her slightly annoyed apricot eyes, and sat beside her.
"What's the matter, you can ask."
But Mu Jinxi looked at him fixedly, and asked with a gentle smile after a while, "Why do you look so nervous? Did you do something wrong to me? Or did you hide something important from me? "
Mu Jinxi decided to give him a chance and reminded him.
But Juelin was very depressed, and said in a confused way: "Jin'er, I don't understand what you are talking about, but I have never done anything wrong to you, and I have nothing to hide from you! You Why do you ask that suddenly?"
Mu Jinxi narrowed her eyes and stared at him suspiciously, "Are you sure you really have nothing to hide from me? I told you before that if you dare to hide anything from me again, you will be in trouble. Do you understand? Right? So think again, you really have nothing to hide from me?"
Jue Lin frowned and thought for a while to make sure that he really had nothing to hide from her, so he shook his head and said firmly, "I really have nothing to hide from you."
Well, she reminded me again.
"Let me give you a little more hint, do you have a cousin?" Mu Jinxi asked with a charming smile.
Jue Lin was startled for a moment, then frowned and shook his head without thinking, "Cousin? I don't have a cousin!"
Seeing this, Mu Jinxi was stunned, what's going on?She had already talked about this, but Jue Lin still told her that he didn't have a cousin without even thinking about it?Could it be that the people I saw today lied to her, were they not from Juelin's grandfather's house?No way, anyone else dares to make such a joke?
Jue Lin sighed softly and said helplessly: "Jin'er, what happened to you? Tell me clearly if you have something to do. I don't know what's going on with you like this!"
Putting aside the doubts in her heart, Mu Jinxi pouted and said: "I met a few strange people today, one claimed to be your cousin, and the one who opened and shut up called me a bitch, and one claimed to be your grandmother, Open your mouth and shut your mouth and say that I am not good enough for you, so I wonder, when did you have a grandmother and cousin? What else are you hiding from me?"
"What? Cousin? Grandmother? This, this is impossible! And why do they say that to you? Have you taught them a good lesson?" Jue Lin shook his head reflexively, and said angrily.
Mu Jinxi smirked when she heard the words: "So what's going on? Are those two people your cousin and grandmother? They said they were your cousin and grandmother. How dare I teach them a lesson?"
Jue Lin frowned tightly, as if she was worrying about what to say about the matter, Mu Jinxi waited patiently, she had been waiting all night, it didn't hurt to wait any longer.
"You, did you really meet two people who claimed to be my cousin and grandmother?" Jue Lin still seemed a little unconvinced and asked to confirm.
"Nonsense! Otherwise, how would I know that you have any relatives of your cousin? Why have you never mentioned this matter to me? I am your wife now, and I don't even know any relatives you have, and no one will tell you." Believe it!"
Jue Lin held her hand and said guiltily: "Jin'er, I didn't intend to hide this matter from you on purpose, but I just don't think it's necessary to say it, and they don't mean anything to me at all. It's just a blood relationship, I've grown up so much, and I've only met those people a few times, and they were all in my childhood, how can I remember them?"
After hearing what he said, Mu Jinxi asked very strangely: "So what they said is indeed true? If so, why is the relationship between you so cold? We didn't meet them when we got married. No one from your grandfather's family came to participate, which doesn't make sense, if they are really your relatives."
Even if Jue Lin was the son of the Queen, not Princess Mu, aren't Princess Mu and the Queen biological sisters?That being the case, whether it is the Queen's son or Princess Mu's son, the grandfather's family is all the same people. Even if Jue Lin was adopted to the Prince Mu's residence, the relationship will not change, will it?Then why have they rarely seen each other for so many years, and no one even came to Jue Lin's big wedding?
Moreover, during the time she came to the capital, she never heard anyone mention about Juelin's grandfather's family, and she didn't ask anyone specifically, and her uncle and the others never mentioned it to her, which shows that What?That family is not important at all?
Mu Jinxi admitted that she was a little dazed at this moment, and couldn't figure out what was going on at all.
Just as I was thinking about it, Jue Lin sighed and said, "It stands to reason that I do have a grandmother and cousin, and two uncles and aunts, but the relationship between us is limited to blood. There is no other connection. Since I was a child, I have seen them only a handful of times. Because they had already passed away when my concubine mother passed away, and the queen mother gave birth to me, and then moved out of the capital after adopting me to Prince Mu's mansion. I lived in Lingcheng and rarely came back during the period, so I have no feelings for them at all."
"Before our big wedding, I also sent people to send wedding invitations to Lingcheng, but none of them came back to attend. Tell me, what can I expect from them? In my heart, they are almost like strangers. That's why I didn't think about telling you, I think you probably won't have a chance to meet each other, and my grandmother is getting old, so she probably won't go back to the capital after all, how would I know..." Who would have known that she would suddenly disappear He came back in a hurry, but he didn't receive any news!
Mu Jinxi didn't know what to say anymore. What kind of relatives were they? It was her grandfather's family. It had become like this. Jue Lin didn't have any feelings for the people over there. The people over there just looked at today These two are not good things, otherwise how could they have ignored Jue Lin for so many years?It seemed that the old woman didn't have much affection for her two daughters anymore. Fortunately, after hearing about Jue Lin's life experience, she thought that the age difference between Princess Mu and the queen should be very favored, but she didn't expect it to be.
It's kind of counterintuitive, it's weird.
Thinking of what happened today, even though she knew it was unlikely, Mu Jinxi still stared at Jue Linhu and asked, "You and your cousin shouldn't have any marriage with your fingertips, right?"
Jue Lin suddenly said dumbfounded: "What the hell are you thinking about? Before I was born, I was in my mother's womb. I was a prince. How could I marry a courtier's daughter? Is it a joke? And you have seen her today, and you know how old she and I are, so where did you get married?"
Marriage on the fingertips, thanks to her thinking of it!
Mu Jinxi snorted softly and said, "It's fine if there's no one. Who told her to look at me as if she was a mistress when she showed up today."
Jue Lin looked at her with raised eyebrows and asked, "Little San? What is Xiao San?"
He seems to often hear some strange words from her mouth, she knows quite a lot, this time, she probably wants to say which ancient book she read it from, right?
Mu Jinxi waved her hand and said, "Missan is the second woman besides the main wife, the third person in the marriage, so it is called Xiaosan, which is what you call a concubine!"
"...So this is Xiaosan..." Jue Lin suddenly didn't know what to say, and felt that as a man at this time, it's better for him to speak less, so as not to provoke her inexplicable anger by accidentally saying the wrong thing, Although he said that he would not take concubines, women are sometimes unreasonable.
Mu Jinxi sneered: "What? Do you also want to find a mistress?"
really……
Jue Lin shook his head seriously: "How come? I said I would not take a concubine, you have to trust me."
Seeing Jue Lin's serious appearance, Mu Jinxi secretly laughed in her heart.In fact, it's not that she doubts him, she's just a woman, sometimes she just likes to mess around, and she's also a woman, so it's normal to make trouble once in a while.
"Then what are you going to do?" Mu Jinxi asked, she meant to pay a visit or something.
Jue Lin shook his head and said lightly: "There's nothing to do, just let nature take its course. Since they didn't let us know when they came back, then we don't have to make fun of ourselves."
They meant nothing to him at all.
Well, although she felt that this was a bit bad, she had to admit that she was relieved when she heard Jue Lin's words.Mu Jinxi thought secretly in her heart.It's best not to see those people in the future, it's an annoying thing to deal with, she still has a lot of things to do.
Mu Jinxi told Jue Lin that she didn't feel depressed or irritable after talking about this matter. After washing, she lay on the bed, covered with a soft blanket, and soon fell into a sweet dreamland, but Jue Lin was miserable. Now, lying next to her, smelling the faint fragrance from her body from time to time, he was distracted, but he kept thinking about what he just said to himself.
Those people came back so suddenly and didn't say anything to Prince Mu's Mansion. They didn't know what they wanted to do, so it's best not to cause any trouble.Hey, why does he feel that things have become more complicated after he got married?Before the big wedding, he was quite free, and nothing troublesome happened, but after the big wedding, things seemed to pop up one by one. This is completely different from the life he imagined!
The more Juelin thought about it, the more he couldn't feel wronged. He turned over in the weak light and looked at the person beside him, but when he saw that she was sleeping soundly, the little bit of grievance in his heart dissipated immediately. After sighing, he hugged her carefully. Passed by the people beside him, let her sleep peacefully in his arms, and closed his eyes.
At least now he has embraced the beauty back, it's better than before.
Because of what Ling Muhua said that day, Mu Jinxi realized that her secret had been peeped at when she didn't know it. Shipyards surfaced?
She set up this shipbuilding workshop not only because she wants to go to sea. Dachu’s waterway operation is quite prosperous, and the waterway transportation is also quite developed. If she wants to start a business, she must work hard on this aspect. It is best to have her own boat. If it is too expensive to buy a ship from other places, it is not worthwhile, so she opened a shipbuilding workshop based on the memory of her previous life, and the quality of the ship is much better than the traditional ship. A famous shipyard.
Moreover, she also set up a company in Lanzhou to specialize in trading, but the scale is still small and unknown. Lanzhou is not far from the capital, nor close, but it is still close compared to Taohua Town. many.Opening the company in Lanzhou instead of Taohua Town is due to the consideration of the distance. She will live in the capital from now on, so the base camp will naturally be in the capital. The transportation is not convenient in this era, and it will be troublesome if it is too far away.
At present, a large part of the profits earned by Hongyun Restaurant and Fangrong Pavilion is invested in the shipbuilding workshop, and only a small part is left as the capital turnover of these two stores.Before this, she had thought about testing the waters in clothing, and the results were not bad. The skin care products she tried to manufacture according to modern methods are also ready to be officially put into the market in the capital, and they plan to put them in a room under the name of the palace. It is sold in rouge powder shops.
In addition, she also made a simple perfume. Presumably when it goes on the market, it will attract those madams and ladies to buy it frantically, right?Perfume is much more convenient than using all kinds of aromatherapy to fumigate clothes, and wearing a sachet, isn't it?Oh, of course, the price of this perfume and skin care products is definitely not cheap, and the time and energy she spent on making them must be rewarded accordingly!
It is not easy to make these things under such conditions and environment. She has failed many times and wasted countless raw materials before finally succeeding in making skin care products and perfumes like modern ones, especially perfumes. The radius of the capital—I dare not say a radius of hundreds of miles, but she bought flowers with a radius of several kilometers. Those flowers filled the entire workshop, and they could make people faint. It took so much time It was finally time to make the perfume, and of course the price would not be too low.
Life is inseparable from these aspects of food, clothing, housing, and transportation. She intends to start with these aspects to build her own power, and gradually build up. These aspects are also the best to manage. She has ideas, With financial resources, manpower, and partners, these are seemingly unimportant and low-risk projects. If you invest heavily from the beginning, it is estimated that even Brother Mu will not get involved with her.
So she also took this into consideration when she started the shipbuilding workshop.Hey, if I had known that Brother Mu was so interested, she would have dragged him into the gang at the beginning, otherwise she could have dragged Ah Xiao into the gang, and it would have saved her money because two-thirds of her money had been lost at once. It's not enough, but fortunately, Fortune Restaurant didn't let me down, and now it's still alive and well.
Oh, and Juelin's racecourse was also snatched by her. She didn't feel embarrassed. It would be a fool not to use the available resources. As for saving face, it would be even more ridiculous. Smart people should grasp any An opportunity that can be grasped, it is not a smart way to save face too much.Besides, Jue Lin is her husband, so what's his is hers?She earns half of his money, so it's no problem to use resources with each other.
Speaking of the racecourse, she ordered people to renovate the racecourse, and then built a racecourse according to the way the foreign nobles liked in the previous life, raised the horses in the racecourse according to the requirements of the horses to participate in the competition, and then let those come to participate The horse racing boys choose by themselves, and finally lead the horses they selected to the racetrack to compete. It can be entertaining or create some excitement. Horse racing is indispensable for horse racing. As long as you control it well, you are not afraid of problems. Xiaogaiyi love!
Of course, this racecourse is still being remodeled, and it will probably take two months to complete the remodeling, and the horses also need to be prepared. If it doesn't, it's just smashing the signboard, so everything must be safe, since she has done it, she will not allow the possibility of failure!
She had so many things to do that she quickly forgot about the person she met that day in Holly Lane, and she didn't think about it at all after that night.
As time moved forward, the date of the palace examination was finally confirmed, and it was set on April 21st!
After the date of the palace examination was set, Mu Jinxi took Xiaobao back to the Xiao Mansion with some worries. The people in the Xiao Mansion didn't know what was going on. They were obviously very nervous when they were in the palace examination, but when it came to the palace examination, they unexpectedly Not nervous at all, when Mu Jinxi asked, Xiao Nianxun was actually very satisfied and said that her son had reached this step, it was enough for her, even if she didn't get good grades in the palace examination, it didn't matter, anyway, there was The status of a Gongshi is not bad, and Mu Jinxi is speechless.
Sure enough, they are her honest parents, with such a big heart, and they have passed the imperial examination, so they should expect more, right?It would be great to be the number one in the examination, if the eldest brother can win the number one, then he will win the triple award in a row, which is very remarkable!I heard that Da Chu has established the country for so many years, and the imperial examinations have been repeated again and again, but there are only a few who have won the three yuan. However, the big cousin is one of them, but that is already a few years ago.
It would be great if the eldest brother can also win the first prize. She thinks that the changes will be quite big when the eldest brother comes to the capital, and with the help of his uncle and eldest cousin, as long as he responds cleverly in the palace examination, he will win the prize. It shouldn't be difficult to be the No. [-] pick.
Master Xiao and Xiao Yu were in charge of helping Mu Jinhua to analyze and remind him what he should pay attention to during the palace examination. Although the questions of the palace examination were always given by the emperor himself, no one other than the emperor knew about it before the palace examination. The content of the topic is gone, but they can still guess the specific direction more or less, it is nothing more than the way of governing the country, the way of employing people, and the analysis of the current court situation and other issues.
Mu Jinxi stayed in Xiao's mansion for the night. The yard before her marriage was still preserved, so she didn't worry about getting used to it when she came back. After dinner, she went to the elder brother's yard and found him in the study. up.
"Xiaoxi, why are you here?" Mu Jinhua stood up when she saw her busy from the desk.
"You're going to take part in the imperial examination in a while, I'll come over and ask if you're nervous!"
Mu Jinhua smiled and said honestly: "There must be some nervousness. This is the imperial examination, and the examiner you will be facing is the current emperor! In the past, my elder brother would not have even dared to think about it."
Although I used to be confident, I failed time and time again when I took the county test. Later, I doubted my ability. How could I have thought that I would be able to take the palace test one day?
Mu Jinxi looked at him with her head sideways, and asked without blinking: "Brother, do you... have the confidence to be the champion?"
"Pfft!" Mu Jinhua almost choked on her own saliva, "Xiaoxi, do you think the champion is so easy to win? Big brother is already pretty good if he can take part in the imperial examination, isn't he?"
The champion, although he also thinks, because he has already won two prizes in a row, if he wins another champion, he will win three prizes in a row. This is a very honorable and proud thing, and the status of family members will also change accordingly. Parents will not be looked down upon.
But he also knows that it is not so easy to win the champion. It is not easy for him to stand out in Chunwei smoothly. As for the champion, he will work hard, but he will not feel too disappointed if he fails. Some things are yours. It's useless to force what's yours, not yours.He was already very satisfied to be able to stand on the Guangming Temple and take part in the palace examination.
"Brother, you can't do this, you have to have confidence in yourself!"
"It's not something that can be decided by confidence. Xiaoxi, you don't understand. The palace test is much more difficult than Chunwei, and it's a question asked by the emperor himself. Whether you can pass it or not depends on whether the answer suits the emperor's wishes. You know, big brother. Yes, it’s really not good to figure out the heart of the elder brother.” It is estimated that he will behave in a proper manner and answer the emperor’s question honestly.
He has heard more or less about the current emperor. The emperor is not a conservative monarch, and he happens to be a very conservative person who doesn't know how to adapt. That person has always said that about himself... I don't know why Yes, Mu Jinhua suddenly thought of something else, and was slightly lost in thought.
Mu Jinxi stared at him and naturally noticed that he was suddenly in a trance, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Brother, what are you thinking?"
Why did you become dazed when you were talking well?
Called by Mu Jinxi, Mu Jinhua's body shook slightly, and when she came back to her senses, her ears turned red with embarrassment, she coughed lightly and said, "What else can you think about, isn't it just about the palace examination. About the palace examination, brother, I can only say I'm going all out, but I really can't force myself to win the first prize. Xiaoxi, if the elder brother fails to win the first prize, you, will you blame the elder brother?"
Xiaoxi is now the little concubine of Prince Mu's mansion, with a noble status, but he knows that there are still people out there who can't understand that their family has no money, no power, no status, but suddenly popped up and squeezed into the upper-class nobles of the capital. A few ugly ducklings suddenly got into the white swan.They also said that Xiaoxi had no talent, no virtue and no good looks, but in the end, because she gave birth to the son of Prince Mu, she married the little prince Juelin because of her son. If she is not qualified enough, she will still be a princess.
But if he wins the first prize, it will be different. If he wins the first prize, the emperor will definitely reuse him. Even if the official position at the beginning is not too big, but as long as he works hard, his future will not be too bad. In a few years, or more than ten years, no one should say that Xiao Xi is not good enough for Jue Lin. After all, his Mu family is likely to become an upstart in the capital, right?
It’s just that the matter of being the number one scholar is really not up to him. Even if he wants to, it’s useless if he doesn’t have the strength to just think about it. He himself doesn’t have much confidence. Although he is the No. I will be No.1 when I get to the Guangming Palace. It is not like there are no such examples in the past. Some people were No.1 when they were in Chunwei, but when they came to the palace examination, they were all at the bottom.
So he really didn't dare to have too much hope, lest the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Mu Jinxi looked at him a little strangely, and asked, "Why would I blame you if you didn't get the first prize?"
Parents don't blame her, so how could she blame her as a younger sister?
Mu Jinhua sighed softly, looking at her only younger sister with pity, she had suffered so much before, he didn't help her as a big brother, but because he didn't think it through before, he still scolded her a lot, Now he also hopes that he can help her as much as possible.
"Xiaoxi, if eldest brother wins the first prize, your position in Prince Mu's Mansion will be more stable. A woman who does not have a good husband's family will be easily bullied and looked down upon."
The natal family is the support of a woman before marriage, and the backer after marriage can determine how a woman lives in her husband's family.
Mu Jinxi laughed out loud, "Brother, even if you don't win the first prize, it will have no effect on my status in the Mu Palace. Who is Jue Lin? Don't you understand at this time? You should have thought it was you Myself, and my parents, not me, I am a married daughter after all. And elder brother, you are not too young. After the palace exam, your parents should be busy with your marriage. If you take the exam The top pick, this is also a bargaining chip!"
Mu Jinhua frowned, and immediately said in disapproval: "Marriage should be decided carefully, how can it be treated as a transaction and measured with bargaining chips?"
"Brother, that's all I said, and what I said is not wrong, do you want to marry a woman who has no status, has a hot temper, knows all about family and neighbors, and has no common language with you? Besides, your parents only have one son, so the wife you want to marry in the future must be able to support the entire Mu family, take care of your parents, and also take care of your daughter, otherwise, what will you do when your parents grow old?"
"But you have to admit that a woman's good character is often related to her family background. If you want to marry a wife who is in harmony with you, then you can only focus on those aristocratic families or bureaucrats. In fact, only the ladies in those people's houses can meet such conditions. Your future wife must be able to be a good mistress. If you marry one casually, you will have to worry about it for the rest of your life, and your parents will also be troubled. !"
Mu Jinhua frowned tightly and lowered her head slightly, but she understood in her heart that the truth was indeed as what her sister said, but he really didn't like these girls in the capital, and they made him feel a little fake, of course No, it's not all the same, at least that person is not—ahem, why do you think of her again?
When discussing this issue, thinking of someone made Mu Jinhua a little embarrassed. Although that person always talked nonsense like he didn't close the door, but he couldn't take it seriously!It's just that her knowledge is beyond his expectations. When he heard about her before, he thought she was just a savage and unreasonable young lady who caused trouble everywhere. He didn't expect that she also studied poetry and books since elementary school.
Sure enough, you can't judge a person from the appearance, otherwise, you will often be mistaken.
Mu Jinxi saw that he was in a trance again thinking about things, and couldn't help being curious, what is it, or who is it that makes the elder brother flash at this time?
Hey, speaking of it, I don't know what's going on between the eldest brother and Mo Xuerui. She feels more and more that it would be good for Mo Xuerui to be her sister-in-law. He is scheming but he won't use it to harm others, and he is a bit careful but he won't be too annoying. It would be great if he could be with the big brother.
Thinking of this, Mu Jinxi asked: "Brother, have you met that girl Mo Xuerui recently? She said last time that she would give you a good inkstone. I wonder if she gave it to you?"
Hee hee, I feel that the identities of Mo Xuerui and the eldest brother have been completely switched. Others are men trying to give gifts to the woman to please her, but when it comes to her elder brother and Mo Xuerui, they become Mo Xuerui tried every means to please her elder brother. This is a typical woman chasing a man, but this man is still a piece of wood. I don't know if Mo Xuerui has made any progress so far.
Hearing Mo Xuerui's name unexpectedly, the expression on Mu Jinhua's face changed, she was a little flustered, as if she had done something wrong and was caught by someone, but also a little guilty, she was caught just thinking about Mo Xuerui. People know, although the person who knows is my sister, but this is also very embarrassing.
I don't know if Xiao Xi would think that he was frivolous?Mu Jinhua thought about it with some worry, and then thought inexplicably that if she told Mo Xuerui... Mu Jinhua might feel bad when she thought of this.
"Xiaoxi, don't think about it! There is nothing between me and Xuerui—Ms. Mo, we are friends of gentlemen, do you understand that friendship of gentlemen? I was just, just, I wasn't thinking What, don't misunderstand, and don't tell others, you know?" Mu Jinhua tried her best to put on a righteous look, but the dodging eyes and the unnatural redness on her face were very different. Minutes betrayed him.
Mu Jinxi stared at him in a daze, opened her mouth slightly, then closed it after a while, looked at him jokingly and said slowly in the original tone: "Oh, it turns out that you were in a daze just now, big brother, because you were thinking Look at that girl Mo Xuerui!"
Mu Jinhua's eyes widened in an instant, staring at his sister with a wicked smile on her face, she couldn't say a word for a long time, he didn't tell himself!Why is he so stupid? He is obviously Chun Wei's No.1, a well-known talent, so why can't he hide things in front of his sister?
Mu Jinxi smiled, looked at him and said: "Brother, it seems that you two developed well before I knew it, so tell me how far you have developed? I can tell you You have an idea!"
Mu Jinhua felt her face heat up for no reason, and said solemnly: "Xiaoxi, you started talking nonsense again. This matter has something to do with Miss Mo's reputation. How could you be so childish? I told you that Miss Mo and I It's the friendship of gentlemen!"
"Brother, who are you kidding? Mo Xuerui has been calling out to be your wife for a long time. You and her are friends of a gentleman, but she is not! She is so obvious about her feelings for you. Don't tell me you are just a little Can't even notice it? Impossible, she only needs to shout with a loudspeaker so that everyone in the capital knows that she has a crush on you." Mu Jinxi said with her lips curled up.
"Xiaoxi!" Mu Jinhua's face darkened slightly. Regardless of whether Mo Xuerui really said that, but Xiaoxi was wrong to say that about her friend in private. If this word gets out, it's okay , It will be even worse if it is used by someone with a heart.Besides, don't she and Mo Xuerui have a good relationship?Why don't you take your friend's reputation into consideration? Although he is her elder brother, he is still a man!
Mu Jinhua just felt that what Mu Jinxi said was inappropriate, but she didn't know that to Mu Jinxi, it was just a few casual words, and it was even more unnecessary to estimate anything in front of her family. Besides, she said All the words are true, okay?It wasn't her who lied.
"Brother, why are you so nervous? Forget it, it's really inappropriate to talk about this kind of thing with you at this time. If it affects your performance in the palace examination, then I will become a sinner of the Mu family. I came here actually I want to tell you about the palace examination." Mu Jinxi straightened her face and talked about the serious matter.
The change was so fast that Mu Jinhua had no time to react, and after a while she said sullenly, "What can you tell me, or did you hear some news from Jue Lin?"
In Mu Jinhua's eyes, although her younger sister is smart, when it comes to the imperial examination and the imperial examination, she should not understand as a woman, so when she said this, he subconsciously thought that Jue Lin had said something to her. Come and talk to him again.
"Brother, it's not right for you to ask like that, do you want to cheat?"
"Don't talk nonsense! How is this possible? How could the eldest brother do such a thing?" Mu Jinhua immediately became excited.
"Okay, okay, I'm just talking casually, why are you nervous."
"..." Can you talk about this kind of thing casually?
"Come here, you're too far away, it's easier to talk if you get closer." Mu Jinxi waved to him.
Mu Jinhua was speechless, but she stood up and walked to the chair next to her to sit down. He really wanted to hear what she could say.
Mu Jinxi originally wanted to stay in the Xiao Mansion for two more days, but Jue Lin chased after her worriedly early the next morning, fearing that she would really stay in the Xiao Mansion for a few days, and she would not be able to stay in the Xiao Mansion with her. Wouldn't it be a separation?That won't work, although the one-month deadline hasn't passed yet, but at least it needs to be seen and felt.
Seeing Jue Lin chasing after him worryingly early in the morning, Mu Jinxi was quite speechless, but Mu Ankang, Xiao Nianxun and the rest of the Xiao family were very satisfied with this, which represented Jue Lin's feelings for Xiao Xi ah!
Xiao Xiao seized the opportunity and sneered at Jue Lin, saying that he had become a fear that could not be separated from his wife, but Jue Lin gave him a cold glance and gave up until he felt guilty.
After breakfast in Xiao Mansion, Mu Jinxi and Xiaobao followed Jue Lin in the carriage of Wang Mansion and went back home.
Ah, I need Brother Zoom and Mo Xuerui to go out for a stroll.
(End of this chapter)
Mu Jinxi really ate a big meal, but Ling Muhua felt that she was not eating, but venting, which made him feel a little sympathetic to Juelin. He felt that Juelin would not want to sleep well tonight I see, unless those people just now are really not from Juelin's grandfather's family, otherwise... huh, Xiaoxi will be very angry!
In fact, Mu Jinxi is not very angry, but just very depressed. After all, until today, she didn't know that these people existed. She is Jue Lin's wife now, and she didn't even know her husband or any relatives. I don't know, what is this?
This depressed mood lasted until she returned to Prince Mu's Mansion.
She couldn't question the old concubine, so she could only continue to wait in the room for Juelin to come back and ask him again, but Juelin didn't know what was going on and didn't come back today, which made her more and more irritable and almost ran away.
"What's wrong with you? Did something happen again?" After Jue Lin came back, he first went to see the old concubine, and then went to Xiao Bao's, so he returned to the room so late, thinking that she was asleep.
Because his one-month deadline has not yet come, in order not to go against his own self-control, he thinks it is better for him to go back to the room later, and it is best that she has already fallen asleep, so that he can suffer less torture.
Who knew that when he just stepped in, he saw a depressed and irritable face, and he was very surprised, thinking that she had encountered some troubles again.
Seeing that he came back, Mu Jinxi lost her temper immediately, looked at him expressionlessly and said, "You can be regarded as coming back."
Jue Lin trembled a little involuntarily. He always felt that she was gnashing her teeth when she said this, which made him beat up in his heart. He began to wonder if he had done something wrong again, and then quickly recalled his recent past in his heart— — No, did she do anything she shouldn't have done today? When she went out today, she was obviously fine with a smile on her face, but after he came back, she became like this.
"Ah, yes, I, I'm back, why are you still awake?" Jue Lin asked cautiously.
"I'm waiting for you!" Mu Jinxi smiled.
"What am I waiting for? Is there anything important that I have to talk about today? It's so late now, why don't you rest first, and I'll go wash up." Jue Lin suggested.
But Mu Jinxi stretched out her hand and hooked her fingers at him, fixed her eyes on him and said, "Come here, I have something to ask you."
Juelin was very hesitant, wanting to be useless, but he finally moved his feet and walked over to her slightly annoyed apricot eyes, and sat beside her.
"What's the matter, you can ask."
But Mu Jinxi looked at him fixedly, and asked with a gentle smile after a while, "Why do you look so nervous? Did you do something wrong to me? Or did you hide something important from me? "
Mu Jinxi decided to give him a chance and reminded him.
But Juelin was very depressed, and said in a confused way: "Jin'er, I don't understand what you are talking about, but I have never done anything wrong to you, and I have nothing to hide from you! You Why do you ask that suddenly?"
Mu Jinxi narrowed her eyes and stared at him suspiciously, "Are you sure you really have nothing to hide from me? I told you before that if you dare to hide anything from me again, you will be in trouble. Do you understand? Right? So think again, you really have nothing to hide from me?"
Jue Lin frowned and thought for a while to make sure that he really had nothing to hide from her, so he shook his head and said firmly, "I really have nothing to hide from you."
Well, she reminded me again.
"Let me give you a little more hint, do you have a cousin?" Mu Jinxi asked with a charming smile.
Jue Lin was startled for a moment, then frowned and shook his head without thinking, "Cousin? I don't have a cousin!"
Seeing this, Mu Jinxi was stunned, what's going on?She had already talked about this, but Jue Lin still told her that he didn't have a cousin without even thinking about it?Could it be that the people I saw today lied to her, were they not from Juelin's grandfather's house?No way, anyone else dares to make such a joke?
Jue Lin sighed softly and said helplessly: "Jin'er, what happened to you? Tell me clearly if you have something to do. I don't know what's going on with you like this!"
Putting aside the doubts in her heart, Mu Jinxi pouted and said: "I met a few strange people today, one claimed to be your cousin, and the one who opened and shut up called me a bitch, and one claimed to be your grandmother, Open your mouth and shut your mouth and say that I am not good enough for you, so I wonder, when did you have a grandmother and cousin? What else are you hiding from me?"
"What? Cousin? Grandmother? This, this is impossible! And why do they say that to you? Have you taught them a good lesson?" Jue Lin shook his head reflexively, and said angrily.
Mu Jinxi smirked when she heard the words: "So what's going on? Are those two people your cousin and grandmother? They said they were your cousin and grandmother. How dare I teach them a lesson?"
Jue Lin frowned tightly, as if she was worrying about what to say about the matter, Mu Jinxi waited patiently, she had been waiting all night, it didn't hurt to wait any longer.
"You, did you really meet two people who claimed to be my cousin and grandmother?" Jue Lin still seemed a little unconvinced and asked to confirm.
"Nonsense! Otherwise, how would I know that you have any relatives of your cousin? Why have you never mentioned this matter to me? I am your wife now, and I don't even know any relatives you have, and no one will tell you." Believe it!"
Jue Lin held her hand and said guiltily: "Jin'er, I didn't intend to hide this matter from you on purpose, but I just don't think it's necessary to say it, and they don't mean anything to me at all. It's just a blood relationship, I've grown up so much, and I've only met those people a few times, and they were all in my childhood, how can I remember them?"
After hearing what he said, Mu Jinxi asked very strangely: "So what they said is indeed true? If so, why is the relationship between you so cold? We didn't meet them when we got married. No one from your grandfather's family came to participate, which doesn't make sense, if they are really your relatives."
Even if Jue Lin was the son of the Queen, not Princess Mu, aren't Princess Mu and the Queen biological sisters?That being the case, whether it is the Queen's son or Princess Mu's son, the grandfather's family is all the same people. Even if Jue Lin was adopted to the Prince Mu's residence, the relationship will not change, will it?Then why have they rarely seen each other for so many years, and no one even came to Jue Lin's big wedding?
Moreover, during the time she came to the capital, she never heard anyone mention about Juelin's grandfather's family, and she didn't ask anyone specifically, and her uncle and the others never mentioned it to her, which shows that What?That family is not important at all?
Mu Jinxi admitted that she was a little dazed at this moment, and couldn't figure out what was going on at all.
Just as I was thinking about it, Jue Lin sighed and said, "It stands to reason that I do have a grandmother and cousin, and two uncles and aunts, but the relationship between us is limited to blood. There is no other connection. Since I was a child, I have seen them only a handful of times. Because they had already passed away when my concubine mother passed away, and the queen mother gave birth to me, and then moved out of the capital after adopting me to Prince Mu's mansion. I lived in Lingcheng and rarely came back during the period, so I have no feelings for them at all."
"Before our big wedding, I also sent people to send wedding invitations to Lingcheng, but none of them came back to attend. Tell me, what can I expect from them? In my heart, they are almost like strangers. That's why I didn't think about telling you, I think you probably won't have a chance to meet each other, and my grandmother is getting old, so she probably won't go back to the capital after all, how would I know..." Who would have known that she would suddenly disappear He came back in a hurry, but he didn't receive any news!
Mu Jinxi didn't know what to say anymore. What kind of relatives were they? It was her grandfather's family. It had become like this. Jue Lin didn't have any feelings for the people over there. The people over there just looked at today These two are not good things, otherwise how could they have ignored Jue Lin for so many years?It seemed that the old woman didn't have much affection for her two daughters anymore. Fortunately, after hearing about Jue Lin's life experience, she thought that the age difference between Princess Mu and the queen should be very favored, but she didn't expect it to be.
It's kind of counterintuitive, it's weird.
Thinking of what happened today, even though she knew it was unlikely, Mu Jinxi still stared at Jue Linhu and asked, "You and your cousin shouldn't have any marriage with your fingertips, right?"
Jue Lin suddenly said dumbfounded: "What the hell are you thinking about? Before I was born, I was in my mother's womb. I was a prince. How could I marry a courtier's daughter? Is it a joke? And you have seen her today, and you know how old she and I are, so where did you get married?"
Marriage on the fingertips, thanks to her thinking of it!
Mu Jinxi snorted softly and said, "It's fine if there's no one. Who told her to look at me as if she was a mistress when she showed up today."
Jue Lin looked at her with raised eyebrows and asked, "Little San? What is Xiao San?"
He seems to often hear some strange words from her mouth, she knows quite a lot, this time, she probably wants to say which ancient book she read it from, right?
Mu Jinxi waved her hand and said, "Missan is the second woman besides the main wife, the third person in the marriage, so it is called Xiaosan, which is what you call a concubine!"
"...So this is Xiaosan..." Jue Lin suddenly didn't know what to say, and felt that as a man at this time, it's better for him to speak less, so as not to provoke her inexplicable anger by accidentally saying the wrong thing, Although he said that he would not take concubines, women are sometimes unreasonable.
Mu Jinxi sneered: "What? Do you also want to find a mistress?"
really……
Jue Lin shook his head seriously: "How come? I said I would not take a concubine, you have to trust me."
Seeing Jue Lin's serious appearance, Mu Jinxi secretly laughed in her heart.In fact, it's not that she doubts him, she's just a woman, sometimes she just likes to mess around, and she's also a woman, so it's normal to make trouble once in a while.
"Then what are you going to do?" Mu Jinxi asked, she meant to pay a visit or something.
Jue Lin shook his head and said lightly: "There's nothing to do, just let nature take its course. Since they didn't let us know when they came back, then we don't have to make fun of ourselves."
They meant nothing to him at all.
Well, although she felt that this was a bit bad, she had to admit that she was relieved when she heard Jue Lin's words.Mu Jinxi thought secretly in her heart.It's best not to see those people in the future, it's an annoying thing to deal with, she still has a lot of things to do.
Mu Jinxi told Jue Lin that she didn't feel depressed or irritable after talking about this matter. After washing, she lay on the bed, covered with a soft blanket, and soon fell into a sweet dreamland, but Jue Lin was miserable. Now, lying next to her, smelling the faint fragrance from her body from time to time, he was distracted, but he kept thinking about what he just said to himself.
Those people came back so suddenly and didn't say anything to Prince Mu's Mansion. They didn't know what they wanted to do, so it's best not to cause any trouble.Hey, why does he feel that things have become more complicated after he got married?Before the big wedding, he was quite free, and nothing troublesome happened, but after the big wedding, things seemed to pop up one by one. This is completely different from the life he imagined!
The more Juelin thought about it, the more he couldn't feel wronged. He turned over in the weak light and looked at the person beside him, but when he saw that she was sleeping soundly, the little bit of grievance in his heart dissipated immediately. After sighing, he hugged her carefully. Passed by the people beside him, let her sleep peacefully in his arms, and closed his eyes.
At least now he has embraced the beauty back, it's better than before.
Because of what Ling Muhua said that day, Mu Jinxi realized that her secret had been peeped at when she didn't know it. Shipyards surfaced?
She set up this shipbuilding workshop not only because she wants to go to sea. Dachu’s waterway operation is quite prosperous, and the waterway transportation is also quite developed. If she wants to start a business, she must work hard on this aspect. It is best to have her own boat. If it is too expensive to buy a ship from other places, it is not worthwhile, so she opened a shipbuilding workshop based on the memory of her previous life, and the quality of the ship is much better than the traditional ship. A famous shipyard.
Moreover, she also set up a company in Lanzhou to specialize in trading, but the scale is still small and unknown. Lanzhou is not far from the capital, nor close, but it is still close compared to Taohua Town. many.Opening the company in Lanzhou instead of Taohua Town is due to the consideration of the distance. She will live in the capital from now on, so the base camp will naturally be in the capital. The transportation is not convenient in this era, and it will be troublesome if it is too far away.
At present, a large part of the profits earned by Hongyun Restaurant and Fangrong Pavilion is invested in the shipbuilding workshop, and only a small part is left as the capital turnover of these two stores.Before this, she had thought about testing the waters in clothing, and the results were not bad. The skin care products she tried to manufacture according to modern methods are also ready to be officially put into the market in the capital, and they plan to put them in a room under the name of the palace. It is sold in rouge powder shops.
In addition, she also made a simple perfume. Presumably when it goes on the market, it will attract those madams and ladies to buy it frantically, right?Perfume is much more convenient than using all kinds of aromatherapy to fumigate clothes, and wearing a sachet, isn't it?Oh, of course, the price of this perfume and skin care products is definitely not cheap, and the time and energy she spent on making them must be rewarded accordingly!
It is not easy to make these things under such conditions and environment. She has failed many times and wasted countless raw materials before finally succeeding in making skin care products and perfumes like modern ones, especially perfumes. The radius of the capital—I dare not say a radius of hundreds of miles, but she bought flowers with a radius of several kilometers. Those flowers filled the entire workshop, and they could make people faint. It took so much time It was finally time to make the perfume, and of course the price would not be too low.
Life is inseparable from these aspects of food, clothing, housing, and transportation. She intends to start with these aspects to build her own power, and gradually build up. These aspects are also the best to manage. She has ideas, With financial resources, manpower, and partners, these are seemingly unimportant and low-risk projects. If you invest heavily from the beginning, it is estimated that even Brother Mu will not get involved with her.
So she also took this into consideration when she started the shipbuilding workshop.Hey, if I had known that Brother Mu was so interested, she would have dragged him into the gang at the beginning, otherwise she could have dragged Ah Xiao into the gang, and it would have saved her money because two-thirds of her money had been lost at once. It's not enough, but fortunately, Fortune Restaurant didn't let me down, and now it's still alive and well.
Oh, and Juelin's racecourse was also snatched by her. She didn't feel embarrassed. It would be a fool not to use the available resources. As for saving face, it would be even more ridiculous. Smart people should grasp any An opportunity that can be grasped, it is not a smart way to save face too much.Besides, Jue Lin is her husband, so what's his is hers?She earns half of his money, so it's no problem to use resources with each other.
Speaking of the racecourse, she ordered people to renovate the racecourse, and then built a racecourse according to the way the foreign nobles liked in the previous life, raised the horses in the racecourse according to the requirements of the horses to participate in the competition, and then let those come to participate The horse racing boys choose by themselves, and finally lead the horses they selected to the racetrack to compete. It can be entertaining or create some excitement. Horse racing is indispensable for horse racing. As long as you control it well, you are not afraid of problems. Xiaogaiyi love!
Of course, this racecourse is still being remodeled, and it will probably take two months to complete the remodeling, and the horses also need to be prepared. If it doesn't, it's just smashing the signboard, so everything must be safe, since she has done it, she will not allow the possibility of failure!
She had so many things to do that she quickly forgot about the person she met that day in Holly Lane, and she didn't think about it at all after that night.
As time moved forward, the date of the palace examination was finally confirmed, and it was set on April 21st!
After the date of the palace examination was set, Mu Jinxi took Xiaobao back to the Xiao Mansion with some worries. The people in the Xiao Mansion didn't know what was going on. They were obviously very nervous when they were in the palace examination, but when it came to the palace examination, they unexpectedly Not nervous at all, when Mu Jinxi asked, Xiao Nianxun was actually very satisfied and said that her son had reached this step, it was enough for her, even if she didn't get good grades in the palace examination, it didn't matter, anyway, there was The status of a Gongshi is not bad, and Mu Jinxi is speechless.
Sure enough, they are her honest parents, with such a big heart, and they have passed the imperial examination, so they should expect more, right?It would be great to be the number one in the examination, if the eldest brother can win the number one, then he will win the triple award in a row, which is very remarkable!I heard that Da Chu has established the country for so many years, and the imperial examinations have been repeated again and again, but there are only a few who have won the three yuan. However, the big cousin is one of them, but that is already a few years ago.
It would be great if the eldest brother can also win the first prize. She thinks that the changes will be quite big when the eldest brother comes to the capital, and with the help of his uncle and eldest cousin, as long as he responds cleverly in the palace examination, he will win the prize. It shouldn't be difficult to be the No. [-] pick.
Master Xiao and Xiao Yu were in charge of helping Mu Jinhua to analyze and remind him what he should pay attention to during the palace examination. Although the questions of the palace examination were always given by the emperor himself, no one other than the emperor knew about it before the palace examination. The content of the topic is gone, but they can still guess the specific direction more or less, it is nothing more than the way of governing the country, the way of employing people, and the analysis of the current court situation and other issues.
Mu Jinxi stayed in Xiao's mansion for the night. The yard before her marriage was still preserved, so she didn't worry about getting used to it when she came back. After dinner, she went to the elder brother's yard and found him in the study. up.
"Xiaoxi, why are you here?" Mu Jinhua stood up when she saw her busy from the desk.
"You're going to take part in the imperial examination in a while, I'll come over and ask if you're nervous!"
Mu Jinhua smiled and said honestly: "There must be some nervousness. This is the imperial examination, and the examiner you will be facing is the current emperor! In the past, my elder brother would not have even dared to think about it."
Although I used to be confident, I failed time and time again when I took the county test. Later, I doubted my ability. How could I have thought that I would be able to take the palace test one day?
Mu Jinxi looked at him with her head sideways, and asked without blinking: "Brother, do you... have the confidence to be the champion?"
"Pfft!" Mu Jinhua almost choked on her own saliva, "Xiaoxi, do you think the champion is so easy to win? Big brother is already pretty good if he can take part in the imperial examination, isn't he?"
The champion, although he also thinks, because he has already won two prizes in a row, if he wins another champion, he will win three prizes in a row. This is a very honorable and proud thing, and the status of family members will also change accordingly. Parents will not be looked down upon.
But he also knows that it is not so easy to win the champion. It is not easy for him to stand out in Chunwei smoothly. As for the champion, he will work hard, but he will not feel too disappointed if he fails. Some things are yours. It's useless to force what's yours, not yours.He was already very satisfied to be able to stand on the Guangming Temple and take part in the palace examination.
"Brother, you can't do this, you have to have confidence in yourself!"
"It's not something that can be decided by confidence. Xiaoxi, you don't understand. The palace test is much more difficult than Chunwei, and it's a question asked by the emperor himself. Whether you can pass it or not depends on whether the answer suits the emperor's wishes. You know, big brother. Yes, it’s really not good to figure out the heart of the elder brother.” It is estimated that he will behave in a proper manner and answer the emperor’s question honestly.
He has heard more or less about the current emperor. The emperor is not a conservative monarch, and he happens to be a very conservative person who doesn't know how to adapt. That person has always said that about himself... I don't know why Yes, Mu Jinhua suddenly thought of something else, and was slightly lost in thought.
Mu Jinxi stared at him and naturally noticed that he was suddenly in a trance, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Brother, what are you thinking?"
Why did you become dazed when you were talking well?
Called by Mu Jinxi, Mu Jinhua's body shook slightly, and when she came back to her senses, her ears turned red with embarrassment, she coughed lightly and said, "What else can you think about, isn't it just about the palace examination. About the palace examination, brother, I can only say I'm going all out, but I really can't force myself to win the first prize. Xiaoxi, if the elder brother fails to win the first prize, you, will you blame the elder brother?"
Xiaoxi is now the little concubine of Prince Mu's mansion, with a noble status, but he knows that there are still people out there who can't understand that their family has no money, no power, no status, but suddenly popped up and squeezed into the upper-class nobles of the capital. A few ugly ducklings suddenly got into the white swan.They also said that Xiaoxi had no talent, no virtue and no good looks, but in the end, because she gave birth to the son of Prince Mu, she married the little prince Juelin because of her son. If she is not qualified enough, she will still be a princess.
But if he wins the first prize, it will be different. If he wins the first prize, the emperor will definitely reuse him. Even if the official position at the beginning is not too big, but as long as he works hard, his future will not be too bad. In a few years, or more than ten years, no one should say that Xiao Xi is not good enough for Jue Lin. After all, his Mu family is likely to become an upstart in the capital, right?
It’s just that the matter of being the number one scholar is really not up to him. Even if he wants to, it’s useless if he doesn’t have the strength to just think about it. He himself doesn’t have much confidence. Although he is the No. I will be No.1 when I get to the Guangming Palace. It is not like there are no such examples in the past. Some people were No.1 when they were in Chunwei, but when they came to the palace examination, they were all at the bottom.
So he really didn't dare to have too much hope, lest the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Mu Jinxi looked at him a little strangely, and asked, "Why would I blame you if you didn't get the first prize?"
Parents don't blame her, so how could she blame her as a younger sister?
Mu Jinhua sighed softly, looking at her only younger sister with pity, she had suffered so much before, he didn't help her as a big brother, but because he didn't think it through before, he still scolded her a lot, Now he also hopes that he can help her as much as possible.
"Xiaoxi, if eldest brother wins the first prize, your position in Prince Mu's Mansion will be more stable. A woman who does not have a good husband's family will be easily bullied and looked down upon."
The natal family is the support of a woman before marriage, and the backer after marriage can determine how a woman lives in her husband's family.
Mu Jinxi laughed out loud, "Brother, even if you don't win the first prize, it will have no effect on my status in the Mu Palace. Who is Jue Lin? Don't you understand at this time? You should have thought it was you Myself, and my parents, not me, I am a married daughter after all. And elder brother, you are not too young. After the palace exam, your parents should be busy with your marriage. If you take the exam The top pick, this is also a bargaining chip!"
Mu Jinhua frowned, and immediately said in disapproval: "Marriage should be decided carefully, how can it be treated as a transaction and measured with bargaining chips?"
"Brother, that's all I said, and what I said is not wrong, do you want to marry a woman who has no status, has a hot temper, knows all about family and neighbors, and has no common language with you? Besides, your parents only have one son, so the wife you want to marry in the future must be able to support the entire Mu family, take care of your parents, and also take care of your daughter, otherwise, what will you do when your parents grow old?"
"But you have to admit that a woman's good character is often related to her family background. If you want to marry a wife who is in harmony with you, then you can only focus on those aristocratic families or bureaucrats. In fact, only the ladies in those people's houses can meet such conditions. Your future wife must be able to be a good mistress. If you marry one casually, you will have to worry about it for the rest of your life, and your parents will also be troubled. !"
Mu Jinhua frowned tightly and lowered her head slightly, but she understood in her heart that the truth was indeed as what her sister said, but he really didn't like these girls in the capital, and they made him feel a little fake, of course No, it's not all the same, at least that person is not—ahem, why do you think of her again?
When discussing this issue, thinking of someone made Mu Jinhua a little embarrassed. Although that person always talked nonsense like he didn't close the door, but he couldn't take it seriously!It's just that her knowledge is beyond his expectations. When he heard about her before, he thought she was just a savage and unreasonable young lady who caused trouble everywhere. He didn't expect that she also studied poetry and books since elementary school.
Sure enough, you can't judge a person from the appearance, otherwise, you will often be mistaken.
Mu Jinxi saw that he was in a trance again thinking about things, and couldn't help being curious, what is it, or who is it that makes the elder brother flash at this time?
Hey, speaking of it, I don't know what's going on between the eldest brother and Mo Xuerui. She feels more and more that it would be good for Mo Xuerui to be her sister-in-law. He is scheming but he won't use it to harm others, and he is a bit careful but he won't be too annoying. It would be great if he could be with the big brother.
Thinking of this, Mu Jinxi asked: "Brother, have you met that girl Mo Xuerui recently? She said last time that she would give you a good inkstone. I wonder if she gave it to you?"
Hee hee, I feel that the identities of Mo Xuerui and the eldest brother have been completely switched. Others are men trying to give gifts to the woman to please her, but when it comes to her elder brother and Mo Xuerui, they become Mo Xuerui tried every means to please her elder brother. This is a typical woman chasing a man, but this man is still a piece of wood. I don't know if Mo Xuerui has made any progress so far.
Hearing Mo Xuerui's name unexpectedly, the expression on Mu Jinhua's face changed, she was a little flustered, as if she had done something wrong and was caught by someone, but also a little guilty, she was caught just thinking about Mo Xuerui. People know, although the person who knows is my sister, but this is also very embarrassing.
I don't know if Xiao Xi would think that he was frivolous?Mu Jinhua thought about it with some worry, and then thought inexplicably that if she told Mo Xuerui... Mu Jinhua might feel bad when she thought of this.
"Xiaoxi, don't think about it! There is nothing between me and Xuerui—Ms. Mo, we are friends of gentlemen, do you understand that friendship of gentlemen? I was just, just, I wasn't thinking What, don't misunderstand, and don't tell others, you know?" Mu Jinhua tried her best to put on a righteous look, but the dodging eyes and the unnatural redness on her face were very different. Minutes betrayed him.
Mu Jinxi stared at him in a daze, opened her mouth slightly, then closed it after a while, looked at him jokingly and said slowly in the original tone: "Oh, it turns out that you were in a daze just now, big brother, because you were thinking Look at that girl Mo Xuerui!"
Mu Jinhua's eyes widened in an instant, staring at his sister with a wicked smile on her face, she couldn't say a word for a long time, he didn't tell himself!Why is he so stupid? He is obviously Chun Wei's No.1, a well-known talent, so why can't he hide things in front of his sister?
Mu Jinxi smiled, looked at him and said: "Brother, it seems that you two developed well before I knew it, so tell me how far you have developed? I can tell you You have an idea!"
Mu Jinhua felt her face heat up for no reason, and said solemnly: "Xiaoxi, you started talking nonsense again. This matter has something to do with Miss Mo's reputation. How could you be so childish? I told you that Miss Mo and I It's the friendship of gentlemen!"
"Brother, who are you kidding? Mo Xuerui has been calling out to be your wife for a long time. You and her are friends of a gentleman, but she is not! She is so obvious about her feelings for you. Don't tell me you are just a little Can't even notice it? Impossible, she only needs to shout with a loudspeaker so that everyone in the capital knows that she has a crush on you." Mu Jinxi said with her lips curled up.
"Xiaoxi!" Mu Jinhua's face darkened slightly. Regardless of whether Mo Xuerui really said that, but Xiaoxi was wrong to say that about her friend in private. If this word gets out, it's okay , It will be even worse if it is used by someone with a heart.Besides, don't she and Mo Xuerui have a good relationship?Why don't you take your friend's reputation into consideration? Although he is her elder brother, he is still a man!
Mu Jinhua just felt that what Mu Jinxi said was inappropriate, but she didn't know that to Mu Jinxi, it was just a few casual words, and it was even more unnecessary to estimate anything in front of her family. Besides, she said All the words are true, okay?It wasn't her who lied.
"Brother, why are you so nervous? Forget it, it's really inappropriate to talk about this kind of thing with you at this time. If it affects your performance in the palace examination, then I will become a sinner of the Mu family. I came here actually I want to tell you about the palace examination." Mu Jinxi straightened her face and talked about the serious matter.
The change was so fast that Mu Jinhua had no time to react, and after a while she said sullenly, "What can you tell me, or did you hear some news from Jue Lin?"
In Mu Jinhua's eyes, although her younger sister is smart, when it comes to the imperial examination and the imperial examination, she should not understand as a woman, so when she said this, he subconsciously thought that Jue Lin had said something to her. Come and talk to him again.
"Brother, it's not right for you to ask like that, do you want to cheat?"
"Don't talk nonsense! How is this possible? How could the eldest brother do such a thing?" Mu Jinhua immediately became excited.
"Okay, okay, I'm just talking casually, why are you nervous."
"..." Can you talk about this kind of thing casually?
"Come here, you're too far away, it's easier to talk if you get closer." Mu Jinxi waved to him.
Mu Jinhua was speechless, but she stood up and walked to the chair next to her to sit down. He really wanted to hear what she could say.
Mu Jinxi originally wanted to stay in the Xiao Mansion for two more days, but Jue Lin chased after her worriedly early the next morning, fearing that she would really stay in the Xiao Mansion for a few days, and she would not be able to stay in the Xiao Mansion with her. Wouldn't it be a separation?That won't work, although the one-month deadline hasn't passed yet, but at least it needs to be seen and felt.
Seeing Jue Lin chasing after him worryingly early in the morning, Mu Jinxi was quite speechless, but Mu Ankang, Xiao Nianxun and the rest of the Xiao family were very satisfied with this, which represented Jue Lin's feelings for Xiao Xi ah!
Xiao Xiao seized the opportunity and sneered at Jue Lin, saying that he had become a fear that could not be separated from his wife, but Jue Lin gave him a cold glance and gave up until he felt guilty.
After breakfast in Xiao Mansion, Mu Jinxi and Xiaobao followed Jue Lin in the carriage of Wang Mansion and went back home.
Ah, I need Brother Zoom and Mo Xuerui to go out for a stroll.
