The Pastoral Empress Merchant
Chapter 737 Xu Morou's Troubles
Chapter 737 Xu Morou's Troubles
Just when Mu Jinxi was about to forget Juelin's grandfather's family, these people came out to remind her that they existed.
This day, Juelin's complexion was a little strange after he retreated back to the mansion. Mu Jinxi could tell it at a glance when she saw him. , Let’s fill our stomach first.
She felt that the court officials had to work very hard. They had to get up from the bed early in the morning and put on their court clothes and hurried to the court. They couldn't have breakfast first, so they had to stand on the Guangming Hall hungry. It's just one or two hours, or even longer, and you can't have breakfast until after you retire, which is much harder than their modern office workers.
Jue Lin ate his meal silently, and his hands moved unconsciously. Seeing this, Mu Jinxi was even more sure that something happened to him when he was in court. She was really curious, what happened to make him He is so distressed.
"Do you want me to feed you?" Mu Jinxi said suddenly.
Jue Lin was startled and blinked, as if she didn't understand what she was saying just now, "Ah? What did you say?"
Mu Jinxi smiled and said with a good temper: "I said, do you want me to feed you?" She said, her eyes fell on the table.
Jue Lin followed her gaze, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, then put down the silver chopsticks in his hand, coughed lightly, and said, "Well, I was thinking about something, and I was a little distracted..."
"Hmm, what are you thinking, do you want to tell me?" Mu Jinxi hummed softly.
Jue Lin sighed lightly, straightened his body, looked at her and said, "My grandfather's family has indeed come back from Lingcheng."
"Oh? Didn't you already know this? What's the fuss?" Mu Jinxi raised her eyebrows, somewhat disapprovingly.
Didn't they already know?In this case, why should he be surprised?
"What I mean is that their family has moved back from Lingcheng, and they will live in the capital in the future, and will never return to Lingcheng." This is the reason for his troubles.
He didn't know how his grandfather's family moved back from Lingcheng in such a good way, so suddenly, he didn't receive any news at all beforehand, didn't they live well in Lingcheng for so many years?That being the case, why did he return to the capital so suddenly?
"Huh? Are you going to live in the capital?" Now it was Mu Jinxi's turn to be surprised.
What does it mean to live in Beijing?That means that she will often see those people in the future, and maybe she will have to come to say hello to that old woman!Although she is the concubine of Prince Mu's mansion, her status as a concubine is not enough in front of that old woman in Great Chu where filial piety is used to rule the world. She is Jue Lin's grandmother. She also wants to be filial!
Thinking about the unpleasant things that happened that day, Mu Jinxi suddenly had a very ominous premonition, thinking that perhaps her good life would be over in the future, and there would be such a person who hated her, who was both an elder and a relative , how can she live happily?
"How do you know? They found you?" Mu Jinxi still had a faint hope that Juelin made a mistake.
Jue Lin looked at her apologetically and said, "I saw my uncle when I was in court. He told me that they had been away from the capital for too long and it was time to come back. He also said... let When I have time, I will take you and Xiaobao to see grandma..."
He was also very surprised when he saw his uncle in the Guangming Palace. He thought it was just his grandmother and that cousin who came back to see, and they might return to Mausoleum soon. Unexpectedly, his uncle also came back, which means they It's not just going back to the capital to have a look, and when the emperor suddenly announced that his uncle would fill a vacant official position, and the official of this official position will be stationed in the capital, doesn't that explain anything?They are really going back to live in the capital!
Jue Lin also felt very distressed. Although his grandmother's family had always existed, their existence was as if they did not exist to him at all, because they lived in Lingcheng as long as he could remember, and his dealings with them Almost none, just like a stranger, he doesn't need to spend any effort to manage it.But now that they are back, they will obviously have to move around frequently.
Both the mother concubine and the queen mother have passed away, as their son, he must always do his filial piety for them, otherwise he will be caught, although many people in the capital have forgotten them.
Besides, the relationship between grandma and grandma didn't seem to be very good. Now Jin'er has conflicts with them, so... if we meet again in the future, I still don't know what will happen!
When Mu Jinxi heard his words, her face suddenly collapsed, "What, you want you to take me and Xiaobao to see that old lady—cough cough, to see your grandmother? Judging from the situation that day, your grandmother wished you never She has never married me as a concubine, she is very dissatisfied with me, if I go to see her, she will probably make trouble for me, right?"
That old woman is really Juelin's grandmother, so she can't do anything to her, she has to take care of Juelin's face more or less, can't go too far, can't she?To her, those people are nothing, but to Jue Lin, they are relatives anyway, he can't be like her, and she can't ask him to be like her!
Jue Lin frowned: "What do I do with my wife? Since they didn't come to my wedding, they are even less qualified to say anything now. Besides, your marriage to me was bestowed by the emperor What do they dare to say? If you really come to the door at that time, you don’t have to pay attention to them, and you don’t have to quarrel with them, lest they make a fuss about your attitude, and we will stop going there. Anyway It's been so many years, and they haven't paid me anything, I just need to maintain the basic etiquette."
If they really wanted to embarrass Jin'er, he would never agree!To him, Jin'er is more important than them, I don't know how many times!His relatives are grandmother, Jin'er and Xiaobao, not them!They are not qualified to dictate their own marriage. If they are sensible, he is still willing to be filial for his mother and queen mother, otherwise, don't blame him for being an unworthy descendant!
Mu Jinxi pursed her lips, disapproval flashed across her face, if they dared to go too far, then don't blame her for being rude and not giving mother concubine and mother a son!
"By the way, does grandma know about this? I've never heard grandma mention this before. It's really strange." Mu Jinxi muttered.
Jue Lin sighed softly and said, "I'll talk to grandma about this later. The relationship between grandma and my grandmother...is not very good. Grandma won't be very happy when she hears the news."
Mu Jinxi raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Oh, it turns out that not only I don't like your grandmother, but even your grandmother doesn't like it, so it seems that your cheap grandmother is probably really not a good thing."
"Jin'er! Do you have to say that in front of my grandson?" Jue Lin couldn't laugh or cry.
Mu Jinxi shrugged her shoulders and said: "Okay, the matter is clear, you can eat by yourself, I still have something to do, I will go out of the house now, and if I have time later, I will go to the racecourse Take a look."
"Didn't you just say you wanted to feed me breakfast?" Now you're leaving?
Mu Jinxi waved her hand and stood up, "Oh, I just saw that you were worried, and you were just a little worried. Don't you just talk about it now? Now that you've said it, you should be fine. Hurry up and eat, Little Treasure doesn't need me to feed him a long time ago, you are so brave to let me feed it, if it gets out, your prestige as Lord Jue Lin will be completely ruined."
"..."
"I'm leaving." Mu Jinxi waved her sleeves and walked out of the room without looking back. The two maidservants hurriedly chased after Jue Lin after a hasty farewell ceremony. In the blink of an eye, only Jue Lin sat alone on the edge of the round table, looking at the table full of breakfast, suddenly lost his appetite.
Just as he was about to order someone to come in and clean up, he heard a cheerful cry from the corridor, which instantly lifted his depressed mood.
"Daddy, are you there? Xiaobao is here to have breakfast with you! Mother asked Xiaobao to come here, Daddy, are you there?" Xiaobao's little friend walked over bouncing.
"Daddy is here, come here quickly, daddy is about to have breakfast!" Jue Lin stood up, and as soon as he walked out of the room, he saw his son's small body appearing at the small gate of their yard, and he beckoned to him. waved.
Xiao Bao rushed over with Xiao Hei with crooked eyebrows, followed Dong Yang behind him as usual.
When Xiaobao rushed to Jue Lin's side, he bent down slightly and hugged Xiaobao, and raised his eyebrows with a warm smile, and said, "Well, it seems that Xiaobao has grown up again. It's taller, but it seems to be a little fatter, and Daddy can hardly lift Xiaobao."
Xiaobao was not happy when he heard it, and pouted his red mouth and said: "Daddy is talking nonsense, Xiaobao will definitely gain weight when he grows taller, mother said it's normal, Xiaobao didn't gain weight, if Daddy If you can't even hug Xiaobao, how can you hug your mother?"
Jue Lin smiled, then pinched Xiaobao's small nose bridge a little funny and said, "Of course Daddy can hug Mommy, no matter how heavy Mommy has become, so can Xiaobao. Just now Daddy was teasing What are you playing!"
Only then did Xiao Bao smile again, and was carried into the room by Jue Lin.
"Wow, Daddy, you have a lot of delicious food here. From now on, Xiaobao will come to accompany you and mother to have breakfast every day, okay?" Xiaobao said with bright eyes.
Jue Lin felt that something was wrong at first, but he responded without thinking too much: "Okay, then Daddy told Mother Qin to make more preparations in the future, and let you come and have breakfast with Daddy and Mother."
"Well, Xiaobao knows that Daddy is the best!" Xiaobao said with his eyes narrowed with a smile.
Then Jue Lin realized that he was cheated by his son. He came here early in the morning every day, and it was impossible for him and his wife to spend more time tenderly. Moreover, if he was here, Jin'er's thoughts would be on him. On the body, I just ignored myself!Only at this time did he realize that it might not be a good thing for his son to come over early in the morning to accompany them to have breakfast!He no longer has time to be alone with his wife!
But at that time, it was too late for him to regret it!
Mu Jinxi, who went out, naturally didn't know what happened between the two fathers and sons. She had a lot of things to do today. She had to go to the Fortune Restaurant, Fangrong Pavilion and the Yoga Studio to see the operation status, and also went to the palace After going around the various shops under her name, these things are now transferred to her one after another. Although she can leave these things to the housekeeper most of the time and let the housekeeper handle them, she thinks that if she has time, she should Go and see for yourself, lest the people below be bold and deceive others.
Then she has to arrange for the skin care products and perfumes she made to be put on the shelves. She plans to promote the products for a period of time before putting the products on the shelves one after another. Today, she wants to talk to the shopkeepers of these shops about this matter.
Mu Jinxi was sitting in the carriage with one hand propping her forehead, she closed her eyes and didn't know whether she was resting or thinking about something. If she didn't speak, the two maidservants in the carriage would naturally not bother her either. With their calves in their hands, one of them was quietly embroidering small sachets. Mu Jinxi asked them to embroider a batch of small sachets. The number of small sachets was quite large, so it took a few days to know how to paint It's the hand that keeps embroidering the small sachet.
Knowing painting is also one of the newly added maids after Mu Jinxi married the palace. Her name is not because she knows how to appreciate paintings, but because she is good at embroidery. If you give her a painting, she can follow it. The scenery on the painting is embroidered with needle and thread to make an identical embroidery painting, so it is called knowing painting.Her embroiderer can catch up with the most powerful embroiderer in the embroidery workshop of the palace. Everyone in the palace knows how good an embroiderer is who knows how to paint. One of the first-class maids.
The carriage was walking, and it seemed that it was about to reach the next destination, but it was stopped at this moment. As soon as the carriage stopped, Mu Jinxi opened her eyes and silently asked the two maidservants what was going on. The place should not have arrived yet.
"Little Princess, I'll take a look." It was Cai Qing who had been pinching Mu Jinxi's legs just now, after she finished speaking, she bent down and walked to the carriage, raised the curtain slightly and asked, "What's going on?"
"Miss Caiqing, someone asked if the person in the carriage was the little princess. It seems that she knows someone."
Caiqing shifted her eyes to the other side when she heard the words, and whispered in surprise: "So it's Miss Xu." After finishing speaking, she put down the curtain and turned to Mu Jinxi and said, "Little Princess, the person outside is Miss Xu."
Mu Jinxi sat up, "It's Xu Morou?"
"Yes, it is Miss Xu. She is outside with a maid. She probably saw the carriage of our palace and thought that the person in the carriage might be the little princess, so she asked this question."
Mu Jinxi smiled and said, "Let her in quickly."
Could it be that she actually saw her on the street, not with her friends, but also came out with a maid, when did Mo'er become so courageous?
The little princess wanted to get together with her friends, so naturally Caiqing and Shihua couldn't stay in the carriage any longer. Shihua quickly packed up the embroidered things, then got out of the carriage, and Xu Morou's maid returned to the carriage. Caiqing and the others followed the two sides of the carriage and continued to move slowly.
In the carriage, Xu Morou was very happy to see Mu Jinxi, and as soon as she got into the carriage, she grabbed her hands and said happily: "I really didn't expect to meet you, Xiaoxi, on the street today. It will be even harder to see you after you get married." , I miss you!"
"Why is it difficult to see me? If you are bored, you can go to Mu Wangfu to find me at any time! I am afraid that you will not come to my door unless I invite you! I don't have the time to post posts for you every time. " Mu Jinxi teased.
"Xiaoxi! You're laughing at me again!" Xu Morou wrinkled her small nose, "And even if I went to look for you, you might not be in the mansion, but I heard that you don't see anyone all day long. Fortunately, the little prince Juelin dotes on you, and so does the old concubine, you can do whatever you want, otherwise you are so restless in the house, if you are in other people's house, you don't know how much you will make your mother-in-law hate you Woolen cloth!"
"Hey, you have gained a lot of courage, you still dare to laugh at me, don't you? See if I don't teach you a little lesson, watch the trick!" Mu Jinxi suddenly made a move while talking, and her two fair hands Stretch out towards Xu Morou's waist.
"Ah, Xiaoxi, don't, don't mess with me, I, I'm afraid, don't, don't mess with me, hahaha..." Xu Morou's complexion suddenly changed, and it was too late to dodge, and Mu Jinxi threw herself on Ma Chen's body. There was a lot of tossing and turning on the soft couch, and the itchy hands on her waist made her whole body ache, and she couldn't dodge the ones who dodged left and right, and couldn't speak completely, laughing and screaming at the same time.
"Let's see if you still dare to talk nonsense, dare you, dare you?" Mu Jinxi laughed as she asked.
This Xu Morou is very ticklish. Whenever someone touches her waist, she will feel sore. If it is normal, if anyone accidentally touches her, she will immediately jump up like a grasshopper. The reaction is so big that it makes people laugh. Now that she was pressed on the soft couch and blatantly tickled her waist for a while, she was even more terrible. She shrank into a boiled shrimp, her clothes were messed up, and even her hair The well-combed bun was also loose, and it was not at all obvious that he was that quiet, dignified and demure person.
"I, I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore, hurry up, let go of me, I want to die... Hahaha... I'm going to die! Xiaoxi!"
Seeing that she was laughing so hard that she was about to die, Mu Jinxi finally let her go mercifully, took back her little hand, touched her neat bun, and sat aside, as if she was playing tricks on Xu Morou just now. People are not like her at all.
On the other hand, Xu Morou was much more embarrassed. She finally stopped laughing and sat up and saw the messy clothes on her body and the hair hanging down her cheeks. She pursed her mouth and stared at her whole body. Then, while arranging her clothes and hair bun, she said unhappily: "Xiaoxi, you are too much, you know how to bully me, why don't you bully Xuerui?"
Hmph, pick soft persimmons!
But at this time, Mu Jinxi leaned over and reached out to pinch her delicate face that was pink because of the laughter just now. The touch on her hand was as smooth as cream, and she couldn't help pinching it a few more times. It provoked Xu Morou's protests.
"Xiaoxi, I'm not a bun. You keep pinching me, and my face will be ruined by you!" Xu Morou straightened her clothes with one hand and tried to wave away the hand that was making trouble on her face.
"But your face is easier to pinch than buns! Hey, this skin really makes me envious." Mu Jinxi sighed admiringly.
"Forget it, your own is pretty good too, don't be jealous of mine." Xu Morou touched her face, but she didn't think it was any better than hers.Girls' skin is always like this, tender, smooth, and white.
"But I think you are better. I am now like an aunt. I got married and gave birth to a child. Women, once we get married and have a child, my value will drop!" Mu Jinxi pretended to mourn sighed.
Xu Morou was taken aback, and then couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Xiaoxi, this is the first time I've heard you say that."
It's so novel, the price will drop after getting married and having a child?Shouldn't he become a biological child to increase his worth?Many women are able to secure their status in the husband's family and become mistresses only after giving birth to their own children. How come it changes when Xiaoxi says it?If this kind of words were heard by others, there would definitely be a burst of yelling.
Well, only someone like the little prince Juelin can be worthy of Xiaoxi. Ordinary men may not be able to suppress her, nor can they accept some of her seemingly deviant ideas, just like she is now She has already married into Prince Mu's Mansion and became a little concubine, but she is still the same as in the past, she has not let go of her work, she runs the Fortune Restaurant, Fangrong Pavilion and a yoga studio, and she still has the momentum of growing her business.
If it was in an ordinary family, Xiaoxi's behavior would be enough to make her husband's family rest a hundred times, but the young prince Juelin and the old princess seem to support her behavior, which makes her feel envious, envious Xiao Xi can live as she pleases, so willfully.
Unlike her... for some reason, the bright smile on Xu Morou's face dimmed, and the sparkle in her eyes faded instantly.
Mu Jinxi was keenly aware of something, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "What's wrong? Is there something bothering you?"
After hesitating for a while, Xu Morou raised her head and showed a smile uglier than crying, and said, "Xiaoxi, I, my family members have already started preparing for my marriage, but I..."
Mu Jinxi was surprised: "Marriage? Didn't you just marry Ji not long ago? Why did you talk about your marriage so soon? Didn't you say before that your parents wanted to keep you in Xu's mansion for a few more years? How could it be so sudden? Are you ready to tell you about marriage?"
Speaking of this, Xu Morou showed a trace of grievance on her face, pulled the handkerchief on her hand and said in a low voice: "It's my sister-in-law... She has always said in front of my mother that it is better for the daughter's family to get married early, otherwise it will be difficult for her to get married when she gets older." I'm going to lose my value, and then someone else will choose me, not me, and if I wait a few years to get married, all the good men in the capital will be picked away by others... She kept saying, my mother just got picked. Talk about moving."
"She's not doing it for my own good, it's just because she sees me and Ji, she doesn't talk about marriage, she just dislikes me being an eyesore at home, but it's a pity that she always knows how to be a human being, coaxing my elder brother and my mother into obedience, Even my daughter and younger sister don't have any status anymore, I feel that my parents and elder brother don't love me anymore since she came in..." The more Xu Morou talked, the more sad and wronged she became, thinking of her own life after her sister-in-law came in. On that day, she couldn't help but shed tears of sadness.
She didn't understand why this happened. Before she married her elder brother, she was very kind to her, and she would help her if she had something to do. But since she married her elder brother, especially her elder brother was very kind to her, and her mother was also very kind. If she likes her, her attitude towards her sister-in-law has changed. She is said to be innocent all day long, but she is not stupid. This change in her attitude still makes her feel something. Use your own?Fortunately, she still said so many good things for her in front of her eldest brother and mother!
She thought she was sincerely making friends with her, but she didn't expect it to end up like this, she was just using herself, she didn't understand why she did this, she was already married, wasn't she?Even if she is favored at home, but one day her daughter and younger sister are going to marry off, is she so impatient to sweep herself out?That's why her mother clearly said that she would stay with her for a year or two longer, but she said those words in front of her mother from time to time, as if she wished she could get married immediately.
Mu Jinxi didn't misunderstand her sister-in-law because of what Xu Morou said in the first place, and didn't she say that she had a good relationship with her sister-in-law?Before they married into the Xu family, the two were still close friends. If so, then her sister-in-law should not harm her.
"Well, Mo'er, don't be sad, don't cry, maybe you have misunderstood your sister-in-law, maybe she is really doing it for your own good?" Mu Jinxi explained.
Xu Morou raised her red eyes, looked at her sadly and said, "Xiao Xi, do you think I'm the kind of person who would misunderstand people casually? Let alone she is my sister-in-law. If I didn't know for sure, I would How could you say these words? Once I went to her yard to find her, and wanted her to accompany me out of the house to buy some jewelry, but outside her house, I heard her tell the servants that since I was old enough, I should hurry up If you want to get married, don't make people dislike you at home, and if it goes on for a long time, it will cause gossip from outsiders, dragging down the reputation of Xu Mansion..."
"I also thought I had heard it wrong, but no, that's what she said, to her dowry nanny, do you know how sad I was at that time? She actually disliked me being an eyesore at home, I can't wait It's only been a few months, and she can't wait! I was so blind before, I thought she was a good person, and I helped her speak good things in front of my mother!"
Speaking of which, Xu Morou began to cry sadly again, because she didn't know what she had done wrong. She had always treated her friend sincerely, but her sincerity was exchanged for hypocrisy, which made her very hurt.
Mu Jinxi didn't know what to say all of a sudden, dare her sister-in-law is a white lotus?
After a while, Mu Jinxi asked again: "Then what does your mother mean? Could it be that your mother really listens to your sister-in-law in everything?"
While wiping the tears on her cheeks, Xu Morou shook her head and said, "Not all of them, but my mother was indeed persuaded by her. Recently, she has been planning to find a suitable nobleman in the capital for me."
This is what she is most worried about. If the mother chooses the right person, and the other family agrees, then her marriage is likely to be settled just like this. She doesn't want to do this!
If it was before, she might still feel that it didn't matter, because the marriage was originally the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, and all the young ladies in the capital came here like this, and she was no exception.However, after getting to know Xiaoxi, she discovered that there were other ways. It was her own marriage, so she also had the right to give her opinions. Why did she give the rest of her life to others?
Although parents are for her good, but do they really understand what she wants in her heart?No, they don't understand. If they understood, she wouldn't have decided this matter without knowing it. She thought that her parents would tell her anyway. Their family is not one of those pedantic literati families. At the beginning, neither father nor mother was formed by the words of a matchmaker, so why did they change when they came to her?
And she just didn't want to get married so early, it's not that she didn't want to marry, why didn't they understand?
"Then have you told your parents what you think?" Mu Jinxi asked again.
Xu Morou frowned slightly, and said sadly: "Of course I said it, I told my mother, I don't want to get married so soon, but my mother said that I should find a good husband's family to marry as soon as possible, In this way, I won’t have to worry about suffering in the future, and no one will bully me, and I even said that I will find a husband’s family for me.”
Mu Jinxi nodded slightly after hearing this, but felt that Mrs. Xu was right.Maybe Mrs. Xu's starting point is really for the good of her daughter, because she knows that her daughter is innocent and kind-hearted, and she is easy to be bullied. At this time, the Xu family can still choose a good husband's family for her.But if you wait a year or two before talking about the marriage, it will be different. According to the modern saying, you are getting older, losing your value, and it is others who pick you instead of you.
As for Mo'er's sister-in-law, it's hard to say, after all, she has never been in contact with this person, so it's hard to comment on him based on Mo'er's few words.
Mu Jinxi quickly analyzed the matter in her mind, then held Xu Morou's hand and said, "It's not that this matter has been settled, why are you in a hurry? If you really don't want to marry so early, then after you return home Talk to your parents carefully, explain your own thoughts clearly, it is best to talk about your plans for your future, so that your parents can rest assured! And your parents have always loved you Is it yours? When the time comes, you will act like a baby and make sure they will soften their hearts and listen to you. "
"Ah? Is this okay?" Xu Morou's nose was red and her mouth was slightly open, a little suspicious.
"Of course, you'll know if you try it. As long as you are more mature and stable when you tell your parents about it, they will feel that you have really grown up and can take care of yourself. It's not a temporary idea, but a thoughtful one, in my opinion, they love you so much, only a daughter like you will definitely agree."
After a pause, he continued: "Besides, I don't think your parents really want to marry you off early. They are actually worried about you. You are simple and kind, quiet and introverted. You have parents at home. , Big Brother protects that no one dares to bully you, but it may not be so after you get married in the future. Maybe they just want to say that they will choose a good family for you earlier, so that you don’t have to be bullied when you get married. After all, with your Xu family’s Family background, is qualified to pick others."
"You, when you encounter something, you should use your brain more, don't be too stubborn, some things can't just look at the outside, but think about whether there are other secrets behind this matter, so that you will neither get hurt nor worry about it. You will misunderstand others. If you say what you said, if your parents don’t know how sad they will be, how your parents treat you, can’t you see clearly after so many years? So what? Could it be that your sister-in-law who just entered the house not long ago can destroy it?"
Xu Morou listened to Mu Jinxi's words in a daze, and thought about her words seriously, and felt ashamed in her heart.
It seems that I really did what Xiaoxi said, when encountering things, I know how to think and worry, and shed tears. Although my parents listened to what my sister-in-law said, they didn't insist on her getting married right away. Why should she be so nervous and worried?She should have a good talk with her parents. Parents have always loved her. If they don't agree then, she will, she might as well just learn from those shrews, cry, make trouble and hang herself. In short, for herself Her future happiness and her marriage can't be decided so lightly!
Xu Morou is not a stupid person either, she figured it out quickly, then looked at Mu Jinxi with some embarrassment and asked in embarrassment: "Xiao Xi, do you think I'm useless, do you laugh at me? "
Mu Jinxi glanced at her and said honestly and bluntly: "You are really useless—"
Xu Morou's complexion changed.
"But I won't laugh at you, because you are my friend, and I will do my best to help you when you encounter difficulties. How can I laugh at you?"
After hearing this, Xu Morou's complexion returned to normal, revealing a moving smile.
Xiaoxi is a very important friend to her. Although they haven't known each other for a long time, but for some reason, she trusts Xiaoxi very much and admires Xiaoxi very much.She thinks it's good for a woman to live like Xiao Xi, who is assertive and courageous, no matter who she is facing, no matter what kind of things she is facing, she can handle things calmly, calmly and calmly. .
She will never be able to learn from Xiao Xi, but she still feels that she should learn more from Xiao Xi!Learn a little fur is a little bit!
First of all, she should start by changing herself!She should be strong, don't panic when encountering things, she can't think anymore, she is really useless compared with Xiaoxi, no wonder Xiaoxi said that about herself, it is really not wronged at all.
Having figured it out, Xu Morou immediately cheered up, clenched her small fist and said firmly, "Xiaoxi, don't worry, I will definitely study hard from you in the future, and I won't let you down!"
The corner of Mu Jinxi's mouth twitched slightly, and she looked at her and said, "What is there to learn from me? If you learn the advantages of me, it may not be good for you. What suits you should be based on your own situation and your own ideas. Decide what to do instead of just copying me blindly."
Because she has a modern soul, her thoughts are so open and deviant, but it is also because she has a strong heart, so she can withstand anyone's verbal attacks, and even disapproves of others' insults and accusations , just follow your heart.But if it was Mo'er, she would only be digging her own grave if she could bear it?If someone insults her, she will probably be so ashamed and angry that she wants to hang herself!
Xu Morou looked at her with bright eyes and said: "You are very good, I think you are all very good, and you are all worthy of my study! You are the person I admire the most!"
Mu Jinxi was speechless again.
"By the way, now that we've talked about your marriage, have you ever thought about who you want to marry in the future?" Mu Jinxi asked.
Xu Morou showed a little bewildered face, and shook her head, "I haven't thought about it, how embarrassing it is to think about it! How could a lady think about it?"
"...You don't want to think about your own marriage, don't you wait for others to think for you? Wait for others to think for you, then just follow the orders of your parents and the matchmaker." Mu Jinxi said angrily.
Xu Morou flattened her mouth a little bit aggrieved, looked at her pitifully and said, "But I haven't seen any man, how do I know what kind of man I want to marry? No one told me who I should marry ah."
After thinking about it, she stared at Mu Jinxi with burning eyes and said: "I think it's good to be like you, marry someone who understands me, loves me, and treats me wholeheartedly!"
Single minded?
Hearing this, Mu Jinxi suddenly became a little worried, and asked: "Mo'er, you, have you thought about what you will do if your husband takes a concubine in the future?"
Xu Morou's bright eyes dimmed, she lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and said in a low voice: "What can I do? I used to think that it was natural for men to take concubines, but now I think why? Women can treat their husbands wholeheartedly, but women’s husbands have to be half-hearted and deal with different women? If my husband is also such a man in the future, then I will take back my feelings for him, Just focus on being the mistress of the house.”
A man like the little prince Juelin is hard to come by, but she has heard that before the marriage, the little prince Juelin promised that he would never take concubines in the future, even the emperor and the old concubine did not speak , I think it is true.Xiaoxi's blessing is not something that everyone can have, besides, Xiaoxi has survived all the hardships in the past, and only she is worthy of the little prince Juelin.
She is just an ordinary young lady, how can she expect to meet such a good man?
Mu Jinxi opened her mouth and was about to say something, when she was interrupted by someone, "Mo'er, you—"
"Is that Xiao Xi in the carriage?"
I have made a big decision!
(End of this chapter)
Just when Mu Jinxi was about to forget Juelin's grandfather's family, these people came out to remind her that they existed.
This day, Juelin's complexion was a little strange after he retreated back to the mansion. Mu Jinxi could tell it at a glance when she saw him. , Let’s fill our stomach first.
She felt that the court officials had to work very hard. They had to get up from the bed early in the morning and put on their court clothes and hurried to the court. They couldn't have breakfast first, so they had to stand on the Guangming Hall hungry. It's just one or two hours, or even longer, and you can't have breakfast until after you retire, which is much harder than their modern office workers.
Jue Lin ate his meal silently, and his hands moved unconsciously. Seeing this, Mu Jinxi was even more sure that something happened to him when he was in court. She was really curious, what happened to make him He is so distressed.
"Do you want me to feed you?" Mu Jinxi said suddenly.
Jue Lin was startled and blinked, as if she didn't understand what she was saying just now, "Ah? What did you say?"
Mu Jinxi smiled and said with a good temper: "I said, do you want me to feed you?" She said, her eyes fell on the table.
Jue Lin followed her gaze, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, then put down the silver chopsticks in his hand, coughed lightly, and said, "Well, I was thinking about something, and I was a little distracted..."
"Hmm, what are you thinking, do you want to tell me?" Mu Jinxi hummed softly.
Jue Lin sighed lightly, straightened his body, looked at her and said, "My grandfather's family has indeed come back from Lingcheng."
"Oh? Didn't you already know this? What's the fuss?" Mu Jinxi raised her eyebrows, somewhat disapprovingly.
Didn't they already know?In this case, why should he be surprised?
"What I mean is that their family has moved back from Lingcheng, and they will live in the capital in the future, and will never return to Lingcheng." This is the reason for his troubles.
He didn't know how his grandfather's family moved back from Lingcheng in such a good way, so suddenly, he didn't receive any news at all beforehand, didn't they live well in Lingcheng for so many years?That being the case, why did he return to the capital so suddenly?
"Huh? Are you going to live in the capital?" Now it was Mu Jinxi's turn to be surprised.
What does it mean to live in Beijing?That means that she will often see those people in the future, and maybe she will have to come to say hello to that old woman!Although she is the concubine of Prince Mu's mansion, her status as a concubine is not enough in front of that old woman in Great Chu where filial piety is used to rule the world. She is Jue Lin's grandmother. She also wants to be filial!
Thinking about the unpleasant things that happened that day, Mu Jinxi suddenly had a very ominous premonition, thinking that perhaps her good life would be over in the future, and there would be such a person who hated her, who was both an elder and a relative , how can she live happily?
"How do you know? They found you?" Mu Jinxi still had a faint hope that Juelin made a mistake.
Jue Lin looked at her apologetically and said, "I saw my uncle when I was in court. He told me that they had been away from the capital for too long and it was time to come back. He also said... let When I have time, I will take you and Xiaobao to see grandma..."
He was also very surprised when he saw his uncle in the Guangming Palace. He thought it was just his grandmother and that cousin who came back to see, and they might return to Mausoleum soon. Unexpectedly, his uncle also came back, which means they It's not just going back to the capital to have a look, and when the emperor suddenly announced that his uncle would fill a vacant official position, and the official of this official position will be stationed in the capital, doesn't that explain anything?They are really going back to live in the capital!
Jue Lin also felt very distressed. Although his grandmother's family had always existed, their existence was as if they did not exist to him at all, because they lived in Lingcheng as long as he could remember, and his dealings with them Almost none, just like a stranger, he doesn't need to spend any effort to manage it.But now that they are back, they will obviously have to move around frequently.
Both the mother concubine and the queen mother have passed away, as their son, he must always do his filial piety for them, otherwise he will be caught, although many people in the capital have forgotten them.
Besides, the relationship between grandma and grandma didn't seem to be very good. Now Jin'er has conflicts with them, so... if we meet again in the future, I still don't know what will happen!
When Mu Jinxi heard his words, her face suddenly collapsed, "What, you want you to take me and Xiaobao to see that old lady—cough cough, to see your grandmother? Judging from the situation that day, your grandmother wished you never She has never married me as a concubine, she is very dissatisfied with me, if I go to see her, she will probably make trouble for me, right?"
That old woman is really Juelin's grandmother, so she can't do anything to her, she has to take care of Juelin's face more or less, can't go too far, can't she?To her, those people are nothing, but to Jue Lin, they are relatives anyway, he can't be like her, and she can't ask him to be like her!
Jue Lin frowned: "What do I do with my wife? Since they didn't come to my wedding, they are even less qualified to say anything now. Besides, your marriage to me was bestowed by the emperor What do they dare to say? If you really come to the door at that time, you don’t have to pay attention to them, and you don’t have to quarrel with them, lest they make a fuss about your attitude, and we will stop going there. Anyway It's been so many years, and they haven't paid me anything, I just need to maintain the basic etiquette."
If they really wanted to embarrass Jin'er, he would never agree!To him, Jin'er is more important than them, I don't know how many times!His relatives are grandmother, Jin'er and Xiaobao, not them!They are not qualified to dictate their own marriage. If they are sensible, he is still willing to be filial for his mother and queen mother, otherwise, don't blame him for being an unworthy descendant!
Mu Jinxi pursed her lips, disapproval flashed across her face, if they dared to go too far, then don't blame her for being rude and not giving mother concubine and mother a son!
"By the way, does grandma know about this? I've never heard grandma mention this before. It's really strange." Mu Jinxi muttered.
Jue Lin sighed softly and said, "I'll talk to grandma about this later. The relationship between grandma and my grandmother...is not very good. Grandma won't be very happy when she hears the news."
Mu Jinxi raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Oh, it turns out that not only I don't like your grandmother, but even your grandmother doesn't like it, so it seems that your cheap grandmother is probably really not a good thing."
"Jin'er! Do you have to say that in front of my grandson?" Jue Lin couldn't laugh or cry.
Mu Jinxi shrugged her shoulders and said: "Okay, the matter is clear, you can eat by yourself, I still have something to do, I will go out of the house now, and if I have time later, I will go to the racecourse Take a look."
"Didn't you just say you wanted to feed me breakfast?" Now you're leaving?
Mu Jinxi waved her hand and stood up, "Oh, I just saw that you were worried, and you were just a little worried. Don't you just talk about it now? Now that you've said it, you should be fine. Hurry up and eat, Little Treasure doesn't need me to feed him a long time ago, you are so brave to let me feed it, if it gets out, your prestige as Lord Jue Lin will be completely ruined."
"..."
"I'm leaving." Mu Jinxi waved her sleeves and walked out of the room without looking back. The two maidservants hurriedly chased after Jue Lin after a hasty farewell ceremony. In the blink of an eye, only Jue Lin sat alone on the edge of the round table, looking at the table full of breakfast, suddenly lost his appetite.
Just as he was about to order someone to come in and clean up, he heard a cheerful cry from the corridor, which instantly lifted his depressed mood.
"Daddy, are you there? Xiaobao is here to have breakfast with you! Mother asked Xiaobao to come here, Daddy, are you there?" Xiaobao's little friend walked over bouncing.
"Daddy is here, come here quickly, daddy is about to have breakfast!" Jue Lin stood up, and as soon as he walked out of the room, he saw his son's small body appearing at the small gate of their yard, and he beckoned to him. waved.
Xiao Bao rushed over with Xiao Hei with crooked eyebrows, followed Dong Yang behind him as usual.
When Xiaobao rushed to Jue Lin's side, he bent down slightly and hugged Xiaobao, and raised his eyebrows with a warm smile, and said, "Well, it seems that Xiaobao has grown up again. It's taller, but it seems to be a little fatter, and Daddy can hardly lift Xiaobao."
Xiaobao was not happy when he heard it, and pouted his red mouth and said: "Daddy is talking nonsense, Xiaobao will definitely gain weight when he grows taller, mother said it's normal, Xiaobao didn't gain weight, if Daddy If you can't even hug Xiaobao, how can you hug your mother?"
Jue Lin smiled, then pinched Xiaobao's small nose bridge a little funny and said, "Of course Daddy can hug Mommy, no matter how heavy Mommy has become, so can Xiaobao. Just now Daddy was teasing What are you playing!"
Only then did Xiao Bao smile again, and was carried into the room by Jue Lin.
"Wow, Daddy, you have a lot of delicious food here. From now on, Xiaobao will come to accompany you and mother to have breakfast every day, okay?" Xiaobao said with bright eyes.
Jue Lin felt that something was wrong at first, but he responded without thinking too much: "Okay, then Daddy told Mother Qin to make more preparations in the future, and let you come and have breakfast with Daddy and Mother."
"Well, Xiaobao knows that Daddy is the best!" Xiaobao said with his eyes narrowed with a smile.
Then Jue Lin realized that he was cheated by his son. He came here early in the morning every day, and it was impossible for him and his wife to spend more time tenderly. Moreover, if he was here, Jin'er's thoughts would be on him. On the body, I just ignored myself!Only at this time did he realize that it might not be a good thing for his son to come over early in the morning to accompany them to have breakfast!He no longer has time to be alone with his wife!
But at that time, it was too late for him to regret it!
Mu Jinxi, who went out, naturally didn't know what happened between the two fathers and sons. She had a lot of things to do today. She had to go to the Fortune Restaurant, Fangrong Pavilion and the Yoga Studio to see the operation status, and also went to the palace After going around the various shops under her name, these things are now transferred to her one after another. Although she can leave these things to the housekeeper most of the time and let the housekeeper handle them, she thinks that if she has time, she should Go and see for yourself, lest the people below be bold and deceive others.
Then she has to arrange for the skin care products and perfumes she made to be put on the shelves. She plans to promote the products for a period of time before putting the products on the shelves one after another. Today, she wants to talk to the shopkeepers of these shops about this matter.
Mu Jinxi was sitting in the carriage with one hand propping her forehead, she closed her eyes and didn't know whether she was resting or thinking about something. If she didn't speak, the two maidservants in the carriage would naturally not bother her either. With their calves in their hands, one of them was quietly embroidering small sachets. Mu Jinxi asked them to embroider a batch of small sachets. The number of small sachets was quite large, so it took a few days to know how to paint It's the hand that keeps embroidering the small sachet.
Knowing painting is also one of the newly added maids after Mu Jinxi married the palace. Her name is not because she knows how to appreciate paintings, but because she is good at embroidery. If you give her a painting, she can follow it. The scenery on the painting is embroidered with needle and thread to make an identical embroidery painting, so it is called knowing painting.Her embroiderer can catch up with the most powerful embroiderer in the embroidery workshop of the palace. Everyone in the palace knows how good an embroiderer is who knows how to paint. One of the first-class maids.
The carriage was walking, and it seemed that it was about to reach the next destination, but it was stopped at this moment. As soon as the carriage stopped, Mu Jinxi opened her eyes and silently asked the two maidservants what was going on. The place should not have arrived yet.
"Little Princess, I'll take a look." It was Cai Qing who had been pinching Mu Jinxi's legs just now, after she finished speaking, she bent down and walked to the carriage, raised the curtain slightly and asked, "What's going on?"
"Miss Caiqing, someone asked if the person in the carriage was the little princess. It seems that she knows someone."
Caiqing shifted her eyes to the other side when she heard the words, and whispered in surprise: "So it's Miss Xu." After finishing speaking, she put down the curtain and turned to Mu Jinxi and said, "Little Princess, the person outside is Miss Xu."
Mu Jinxi sat up, "It's Xu Morou?"
"Yes, it is Miss Xu. She is outside with a maid. She probably saw the carriage of our palace and thought that the person in the carriage might be the little princess, so she asked this question."
Mu Jinxi smiled and said, "Let her in quickly."
Could it be that she actually saw her on the street, not with her friends, but also came out with a maid, when did Mo'er become so courageous?
The little princess wanted to get together with her friends, so naturally Caiqing and Shihua couldn't stay in the carriage any longer. Shihua quickly packed up the embroidered things, then got out of the carriage, and Xu Morou's maid returned to the carriage. Caiqing and the others followed the two sides of the carriage and continued to move slowly.
In the carriage, Xu Morou was very happy to see Mu Jinxi, and as soon as she got into the carriage, she grabbed her hands and said happily: "I really didn't expect to meet you, Xiaoxi, on the street today. It will be even harder to see you after you get married." , I miss you!"
"Why is it difficult to see me? If you are bored, you can go to Mu Wangfu to find me at any time! I am afraid that you will not come to my door unless I invite you! I don't have the time to post posts for you every time. " Mu Jinxi teased.
"Xiaoxi! You're laughing at me again!" Xu Morou wrinkled her small nose, "And even if I went to look for you, you might not be in the mansion, but I heard that you don't see anyone all day long. Fortunately, the little prince Juelin dotes on you, and so does the old concubine, you can do whatever you want, otherwise you are so restless in the house, if you are in other people's house, you don't know how much you will make your mother-in-law hate you Woolen cloth!"
"Hey, you have gained a lot of courage, you still dare to laugh at me, don't you? See if I don't teach you a little lesson, watch the trick!" Mu Jinxi suddenly made a move while talking, and her two fair hands Stretch out towards Xu Morou's waist.
"Ah, Xiaoxi, don't, don't mess with me, I, I'm afraid, don't, don't mess with me, hahaha..." Xu Morou's complexion suddenly changed, and it was too late to dodge, and Mu Jinxi threw herself on Ma Chen's body. There was a lot of tossing and turning on the soft couch, and the itchy hands on her waist made her whole body ache, and she couldn't dodge the ones who dodged left and right, and couldn't speak completely, laughing and screaming at the same time.
"Let's see if you still dare to talk nonsense, dare you, dare you?" Mu Jinxi laughed as she asked.
This Xu Morou is very ticklish. Whenever someone touches her waist, she will feel sore. If it is normal, if anyone accidentally touches her, she will immediately jump up like a grasshopper. The reaction is so big that it makes people laugh. Now that she was pressed on the soft couch and blatantly tickled her waist for a while, she was even more terrible. She shrank into a boiled shrimp, her clothes were messed up, and even her hair The well-combed bun was also loose, and it was not at all obvious that he was that quiet, dignified and demure person.
"I, I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore, hurry up, let go of me, I want to die... Hahaha... I'm going to die! Xiaoxi!"
Seeing that she was laughing so hard that she was about to die, Mu Jinxi finally let her go mercifully, took back her little hand, touched her neat bun, and sat aside, as if she was playing tricks on Xu Morou just now. People are not like her at all.
On the other hand, Xu Morou was much more embarrassed. She finally stopped laughing and sat up and saw the messy clothes on her body and the hair hanging down her cheeks. She pursed her mouth and stared at her whole body. Then, while arranging her clothes and hair bun, she said unhappily: "Xiaoxi, you are too much, you know how to bully me, why don't you bully Xuerui?"
Hmph, pick soft persimmons!
But at this time, Mu Jinxi leaned over and reached out to pinch her delicate face that was pink because of the laughter just now. The touch on her hand was as smooth as cream, and she couldn't help pinching it a few more times. It provoked Xu Morou's protests.
"Xiaoxi, I'm not a bun. You keep pinching me, and my face will be ruined by you!" Xu Morou straightened her clothes with one hand and tried to wave away the hand that was making trouble on her face.
"But your face is easier to pinch than buns! Hey, this skin really makes me envious." Mu Jinxi sighed admiringly.
"Forget it, your own is pretty good too, don't be jealous of mine." Xu Morou touched her face, but she didn't think it was any better than hers.Girls' skin is always like this, tender, smooth, and white.
"But I think you are better. I am now like an aunt. I got married and gave birth to a child. Women, once we get married and have a child, my value will drop!" Mu Jinxi pretended to mourn sighed.
Xu Morou was taken aback, and then couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Xiaoxi, this is the first time I've heard you say that."
It's so novel, the price will drop after getting married and having a child?Shouldn't he become a biological child to increase his worth?Many women are able to secure their status in the husband's family and become mistresses only after giving birth to their own children. How come it changes when Xiaoxi says it?If this kind of words were heard by others, there would definitely be a burst of yelling.
Well, only someone like the little prince Juelin can be worthy of Xiaoxi. Ordinary men may not be able to suppress her, nor can they accept some of her seemingly deviant ideas, just like she is now She has already married into Prince Mu's Mansion and became a little concubine, but she is still the same as in the past, she has not let go of her work, she runs the Fortune Restaurant, Fangrong Pavilion and a yoga studio, and she still has the momentum of growing her business.
If it was in an ordinary family, Xiaoxi's behavior would be enough to make her husband's family rest a hundred times, but the young prince Juelin and the old princess seem to support her behavior, which makes her feel envious, envious Xiao Xi can live as she pleases, so willfully.
Unlike her... for some reason, the bright smile on Xu Morou's face dimmed, and the sparkle in her eyes faded instantly.
Mu Jinxi was keenly aware of something, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "What's wrong? Is there something bothering you?"
After hesitating for a while, Xu Morou raised her head and showed a smile uglier than crying, and said, "Xiaoxi, I, my family members have already started preparing for my marriage, but I..."
Mu Jinxi was surprised: "Marriage? Didn't you just marry Ji not long ago? Why did you talk about your marriage so soon? Didn't you say before that your parents wanted to keep you in Xu's mansion for a few more years? How could it be so sudden? Are you ready to tell you about marriage?"
Speaking of this, Xu Morou showed a trace of grievance on her face, pulled the handkerchief on her hand and said in a low voice: "It's my sister-in-law... She has always said in front of my mother that it is better for the daughter's family to get married early, otherwise it will be difficult for her to get married when she gets older." I'm going to lose my value, and then someone else will choose me, not me, and if I wait a few years to get married, all the good men in the capital will be picked away by others... She kept saying, my mother just got picked. Talk about moving."
"She's not doing it for my own good, it's just because she sees me and Ji, she doesn't talk about marriage, she just dislikes me being an eyesore at home, but it's a pity that she always knows how to be a human being, coaxing my elder brother and my mother into obedience, Even my daughter and younger sister don't have any status anymore, I feel that my parents and elder brother don't love me anymore since she came in..." The more Xu Morou talked, the more sad and wronged she became, thinking of her own life after her sister-in-law came in. On that day, she couldn't help but shed tears of sadness.
She didn't understand why this happened. Before she married her elder brother, she was very kind to her, and she would help her if she had something to do. But since she married her elder brother, especially her elder brother was very kind to her, and her mother was also very kind. If she likes her, her attitude towards her sister-in-law has changed. She is said to be innocent all day long, but she is not stupid. This change in her attitude still makes her feel something. Use your own?Fortunately, she still said so many good things for her in front of her eldest brother and mother!
She thought she was sincerely making friends with her, but she didn't expect it to end up like this, she was just using herself, she didn't understand why she did this, she was already married, wasn't she?Even if she is favored at home, but one day her daughter and younger sister are going to marry off, is she so impatient to sweep herself out?That's why her mother clearly said that she would stay with her for a year or two longer, but she said those words in front of her mother from time to time, as if she wished she could get married immediately.
Mu Jinxi didn't misunderstand her sister-in-law because of what Xu Morou said in the first place, and didn't she say that she had a good relationship with her sister-in-law?Before they married into the Xu family, the two were still close friends. If so, then her sister-in-law should not harm her.
"Well, Mo'er, don't be sad, don't cry, maybe you have misunderstood your sister-in-law, maybe she is really doing it for your own good?" Mu Jinxi explained.
Xu Morou raised her red eyes, looked at her sadly and said, "Xiao Xi, do you think I'm the kind of person who would misunderstand people casually? Let alone she is my sister-in-law. If I didn't know for sure, I would How could you say these words? Once I went to her yard to find her, and wanted her to accompany me out of the house to buy some jewelry, but outside her house, I heard her tell the servants that since I was old enough, I should hurry up If you want to get married, don't make people dislike you at home, and if it goes on for a long time, it will cause gossip from outsiders, dragging down the reputation of Xu Mansion..."
"I also thought I had heard it wrong, but no, that's what she said, to her dowry nanny, do you know how sad I was at that time? She actually disliked me being an eyesore at home, I can't wait It's only been a few months, and she can't wait! I was so blind before, I thought she was a good person, and I helped her speak good things in front of my mother!"
Speaking of which, Xu Morou began to cry sadly again, because she didn't know what she had done wrong. She had always treated her friend sincerely, but her sincerity was exchanged for hypocrisy, which made her very hurt.
Mu Jinxi didn't know what to say all of a sudden, dare her sister-in-law is a white lotus?
After a while, Mu Jinxi asked again: "Then what does your mother mean? Could it be that your mother really listens to your sister-in-law in everything?"
While wiping the tears on her cheeks, Xu Morou shook her head and said, "Not all of them, but my mother was indeed persuaded by her. Recently, she has been planning to find a suitable nobleman in the capital for me."
This is what she is most worried about. If the mother chooses the right person, and the other family agrees, then her marriage is likely to be settled just like this. She doesn't want to do this!
If it was before, she might still feel that it didn't matter, because the marriage was originally the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, and all the young ladies in the capital came here like this, and she was no exception.However, after getting to know Xiaoxi, she discovered that there were other ways. It was her own marriage, so she also had the right to give her opinions. Why did she give the rest of her life to others?
Although parents are for her good, but do they really understand what she wants in her heart?No, they don't understand. If they understood, she wouldn't have decided this matter without knowing it. She thought that her parents would tell her anyway. Their family is not one of those pedantic literati families. At the beginning, neither father nor mother was formed by the words of a matchmaker, so why did they change when they came to her?
And she just didn't want to get married so early, it's not that she didn't want to marry, why didn't they understand?
"Then have you told your parents what you think?" Mu Jinxi asked again.
Xu Morou frowned slightly, and said sadly: "Of course I said it, I told my mother, I don't want to get married so soon, but my mother said that I should find a good husband's family to marry as soon as possible, In this way, I won’t have to worry about suffering in the future, and no one will bully me, and I even said that I will find a husband’s family for me.”
Mu Jinxi nodded slightly after hearing this, but felt that Mrs. Xu was right.Maybe Mrs. Xu's starting point is really for the good of her daughter, because she knows that her daughter is innocent and kind-hearted, and she is easy to be bullied. At this time, the Xu family can still choose a good husband's family for her.But if you wait a year or two before talking about the marriage, it will be different. According to the modern saying, you are getting older, losing your value, and it is others who pick you instead of you.
As for Mo'er's sister-in-law, it's hard to say, after all, she has never been in contact with this person, so it's hard to comment on him based on Mo'er's few words.
Mu Jinxi quickly analyzed the matter in her mind, then held Xu Morou's hand and said, "It's not that this matter has been settled, why are you in a hurry? If you really don't want to marry so early, then after you return home Talk to your parents carefully, explain your own thoughts clearly, it is best to talk about your plans for your future, so that your parents can rest assured! And your parents have always loved you Is it yours? When the time comes, you will act like a baby and make sure they will soften their hearts and listen to you. "
"Ah? Is this okay?" Xu Morou's nose was red and her mouth was slightly open, a little suspicious.
"Of course, you'll know if you try it. As long as you are more mature and stable when you tell your parents about it, they will feel that you have really grown up and can take care of yourself. It's not a temporary idea, but a thoughtful one, in my opinion, they love you so much, only a daughter like you will definitely agree."
After a pause, he continued: "Besides, I don't think your parents really want to marry you off early. They are actually worried about you. You are simple and kind, quiet and introverted. You have parents at home. , Big Brother protects that no one dares to bully you, but it may not be so after you get married in the future. Maybe they just want to say that they will choose a good family for you earlier, so that you don’t have to be bullied when you get married. After all, with your Xu family’s Family background, is qualified to pick others."
"You, when you encounter something, you should use your brain more, don't be too stubborn, some things can't just look at the outside, but think about whether there are other secrets behind this matter, so that you will neither get hurt nor worry about it. You will misunderstand others. If you say what you said, if your parents don’t know how sad they will be, how your parents treat you, can’t you see clearly after so many years? So what? Could it be that your sister-in-law who just entered the house not long ago can destroy it?"
Xu Morou listened to Mu Jinxi's words in a daze, and thought about her words seriously, and felt ashamed in her heart.
It seems that I really did what Xiaoxi said, when encountering things, I know how to think and worry, and shed tears. Although my parents listened to what my sister-in-law said, they didn't insist on her getting married right away. Why should she be so nervous and worried?She should have a good talk with her parents. Parents have always loved her. If they don't agree then, she will, she might as well just learn from those shrews, cry, make trouble and hang herself. In short, for herself Her future happiness and her marriage can't be decided so lightly!
Xu Morou is not a stupid person either, she figured it out quickly, then looked at Mu Jinxi with some embarrassment and asked in embarrassment: "Xiao Xi, do you think I'm useless, do you laugh at me? "
Mu Jinxi glanced at her and said honestly and bluntly: "You are really useless—"
Xu Morou's complexion changed.
"But I won't laugh at you, because you are my friend, and I will do my best to help you when you encounter difficulties. How can I laugh at you?"
After hearing this, Xu Morou's complexion returned to normal, revealing a moving smile.
Xiaoxi is a very important friend to her. Although they haven't known each other for a long time, but for some reason, she trusts Xiaoxi very much and admires Xiaoxi very much.She thinks it's good for a woman to live like Xiao Xi, who is assertive and courageous, no matter who she is facing, no matter what kind of things she is facing, she can handle things calmly, calmly and calmly. .
She will never be able to learn from Xiao Xi, but she still feels that she should learn more from Xiao Xi!Learn a little fur is a little bit!
First of all, she should start by changing herself!She should be strong, don't panic when encountering things, she can't think anymore, she is really useless compared with Xiaoxi, no wonder Xiaoxi said that about herself, it is really not wronged at all.
Having figured it out, Xu Morou immediately cheered up, clenched her small fist and said firmly, "Xiaoxi, don't worry, I will definitely study hard from you in the future, and I won't let you down!"
The corner of Mu Jinxi's mouth twitched slightly, and she looked at her and said, "What is there to learn from me? If you learn the advantages of me, it may not be good for you. What suits you should be based on your own situation and your own ideas. Decide what to do instead of just copying me blindly."
Because she has a modern soul, her thoughts are so open and deviant, but it is also because she has a strong heart, so she can withstand anyone's verbal attacks, and even disapproves of others' insults and accusations , just follow your heart.But if it was Mo'er, she would only be digging her own grave if she could bear it?If someone insults her, she will probably be so ashamed and angry that she wants to hang herself!
Xu Morou looked at her with bright eyes and said: "You are very good, I think you are all very good, and you are all worthy of my study! You are the person I admire the most!"
Mu Jinxi was speechless again.
"By the way, now that we've talked about your marriage, have you ever thought about who you want to marry in the future?" Mu Jinxi asked.
Xu Morou showed a little bewildered face, and shook her head, "I haven't thought about it, how embarrassing it is to think about it! How could a lady think about it?"
"...You don't want to think about your own marriage, don't you wait for others to think for you? Wait for others to think for you, then just follow the orders of your parents and the matchmaker." Mu Jinxi said angrily.
Xu Morou flattened her mouth a little bit aggrieved, looked at her pitifully and said, "But I haven't seen any man, how do I know what kind of man I want to marry? No one told me who I should marry ah."
After thinking about it, she stared at Mu Jinxi with burning eyes and said: "I think it's good to be like you, marry someone who understands me, loves me, and treats me wholeheartedly!"
Single minded?
Hearing this, Mu Jinxi suddenly became a little worried, and asked: "Mo'er, you, have you thought about what you will do if your husband takes a concubine in the future?"
Xu Morou's bright eyes dimmed, she lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and said in a low voice: "What can I do? I used to think that it was natural for men to take concubines, but now I think why? Women can treat their husbands wholeheartedly, but women’s husbands have to be half-hearted and deal with different women? If my husband is also such a man in the future, then I will take back my feelings for him, Just focus on being the mistress of the house.”
A man like the little prince Juelin is hard to come by, but she has heard that before the marriage, the little prince Juelin promised that he would never take concubines in the future, even the emperor and the old concubine did not speak , I think it is true.Xiaoxi's blessing is not something that everyone can have, besides, Xiaoxi has survived all the hardships in the past, and only she is worthy of the little prince Juelin.
She is just an ordinary young lady, how can she expect to meet such a good man?
Mu Jinxi opened her mouth and was about to say something, when she was interrupted by someone, "Mo'er, you—"
"Is that Xiao Xi in the carriage?"
I have made a big decision!
