The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 750 Daughter's Heart

After Mu Jinxi visited the racecourse, she quickly decided on the date of the opening ceremony. Naturally, the matter of inviting guests was left to the second prince, and she concentrated on preparing other matters.The second prince did not live up to her expectations, and quickly settled the matter. In just two or three days, the list was drawn up. Mu Jinxi kept nodding after reading it, which made the second prince very happy I am proud of myself.

The news that Mu Jinxi has set up a racetrack for horse racing has become known to more and more people after her invitation was sent out. Although many people don't quite understand how to play horse racing, Mu Jinxi is in everyone's heart. The image is already associated with novelty and ingenuity. In short, what she makes will not disappoint people. People who receive the invitation are looking forward to it and are eager to try it, especially those who are close to the second prince. Hearing the second prince's brief description, they were also very curious.

Those who didn't receive the invitation could only stretch their necks, search for news, and even ran to the racecourse on the outskirts of the city, wanting to see what was going on, but unfortunately, they could only take a look outside, and inside They didn't know what was going on, but the more this happened, the more curious and itchy they were.Some people tried their best to get a post, but who made the second prince responsible for this post?If you can't get into the eyes of the second prince, then there's nothing you can do!

"Xiaoxi, I don't care, I'm going anyway!" Mo Xuerui said recklessly, as if Mu Jinxi didn't agree to her, she was going to force her.

Xu Morou also hurriedly stretched out her hand and said, "Me too, Xiaoxi, you are so mean, how can you not post us? We are your friends after all, and you didn't post to us, I am so disappointed in you !"

Mu Jinxi spread her hands and said innocently: "I am also very innocent about this matter, how do I know that the second prince didn't post to you?"

Mo Xuerui pouted and said, "I said, Xiao Xi, why did you leave such an important matter to the second prince? Who in the capital doesn't know that the second prince and your little prince are rivals, and you handed over such an important matter to the second prince?" Give it to him, don't you worry about him destroying it?"

Xu Morou nodded uncomprehendingly: "Yes, Xiaoxi, I really don't understand you, when did you get so close to the second prince? You seem to have a good relationship? Does little prince Juelin know? Isn't he worried?"

"Worried, he is worried that the second prince will be sold by me."

"Uh……"

Mo Xuerui and Xu Morou were speechless.

Why is it that the second prince is such a stupid person in the heart of the little prince Juelin?But it is true, the second prince has been fighting with the young prince Juelin for so many years, and he has never seen the second prince win. No matter whether it is in the officialdom or in words, the second prince has always lost when he meets the young prince Juelin.Even the young prince Juelin can't beat Xiao Xi, and the second prince is even more helpless.

No wonder Xiaoxi is not worried at all, there must be something about the second prince, right?
Thinking of this, Mo Xuerui couldn't help asking curiously: "Xiaoxi, do you have something to do with the second prince? So you threatened the second prince to help you?"

Mu Jinxi looked at Mo Xuerui very angrily and said: "Xuerui, how can you think of me like that? Do I look like the kind of person who would threaten others? The second prince is willing to help me!"

Mo Xuerui twitched the corners of her lips, expressing that she felt that she had always been such a person, who could threaten, and those who could be used would definitely be threatened and used. Wasn't that how she got into her thief ship in the first place?
Xu Morou, on the other hand, laughed awkwardly, then thought of something, hesitated for a long time before asking in a low voice: "Xiaoxi, that, will you invite Big Brother Ling?"

Mu Jinxi was startled, looked at Xu Morou and asked with some uncertainty: "Brother Ling, you mean Brother Ling Muhua, right?"

Xu Morou blinked her eyes and nodded, "Yes, it's him, what, what's wrong?"

Mu Jinxi stared at her suspiciously: "It's fine, why did you ask about Brother Mu? Since when have you been so familiar?"

Could it be that something happened between Brother Mu and Mo'er when she wasn't paying attention?

Seen by Mu Jinxi's eyes, Xu Morou turned her body and said, "Xiaoxi, what are you talking about? It's like this. Last time, after seeing Big Brother Mu riding a horse in the Hongyun Restaurant, you , Didn’t you ask him to take me back home? Later, on the way back home, I was almost hit by a carriage. It was him who saved me. I always wanted to find a chance to thank him, but, but, so, so It's just asking you that. Don't think too much, I really just want to thank him!"

"I said Xu Morou, do you know what you look like now?" Mo Xuerui asked suddenly.

"What, what?"

"There is no silver 300 taels here!"

Xu Morou was taken aback, then her fair face flushed instantly, and she stammered, "You guys, what are you talking about, what nonsense are you talking about, he, he saved me, shouldn't I thank him?"

Why do they act like her, what purpose does she have, she really just wants to thank him, because if it wasn't for him last time, she might really be hit by a carriage, if she was hit by a carriage , I don’t know what will happen.

"Oh, did we say anything about you? Why are you so nervous? The more nervous you are, the more you seem to have a ghost in your heart. Mo'er, you must have taken a fancy to Ling Muhua, right? Although he is quite handsome Well, but his identity is not worthy of you, he is a child of the Luo family in name, but in fact he is not at all, he doesn't even have the family tree of the Luo family, if you fancy him, you will be in trouble." Xue Rui shook her head and said.

Xu Morou was just a little embarrassed at first, but when Mo Xuerui said this, she suddenly became a little angry, and said in a muffled voice: "Status is not a problem, you liked Brother Mu before, and Brother Mu is just a white man Well, don't you also not care?"

Hearing Xu Morou's words, Mu Jinxi was startled, then frowned, stared at her for a while, and asked suspiciously: "Mo'er, don't you really like Brother Mu?"

If Mo'er really likes Brother Mu, from her personal point of view, she would be happy to see these two people who are close to her together, but from an objective point of view, Mo'er doesn't seem to be suitable for Brother Mu. Mo'er's temperament is too soft and quiet, and Brother Mu, because of his past experience, he is a little indifferent and unreasonable in dealing with people and things. He is even a little cynical, and he doesn't have any good feelings for the so-called nobles in the capital.

At the beginning when I found him, if it wasn't for the mistake that caused Brother Mu to see his mother's shadow in her, he wouldn't have given him the chance at all, and the following things would never have happened. Mere partners, not friends like they are now.

In Brother Mu's heart, maybe only someone who is as strong as his mother can catch his eyes, but he cannot be as weak as his mother, who ended up like that because of a man.Yes, Brother Mu's mother is a strong and weak woman, her weakness is shown in love, and her strength is all used on his son, so Brother Mu pities that kind of weak woman, But hate it.

Mo'er happens to be this kind of woman. Mo'er has lived under the protection of the Xu family since she was a child. She is innocent, she has never experienced or seen any conspiracy, and she has never been in contact with those suffocating darkness. I can't understand what Brother Mu has experienced, her world is too pure, and the worst thing she has experienced may be her sister-in-law.

But Brother Mu is different. In addition, Brother Mu is a businessman and often goes out to do business. Even if he will stay in the capital in the future, he will probably leave often and live without a fixed place. Such a man needs to marry an independent man who can manage the family. A woman who can face some difficulties that may be encountered in life alone, not a dodder like Mo'er... If Mo'er really likes Brother Mu, it is very likely that she will end up with a lot of heart and soul.

Hearing Mu Jinxi's words, Xu Morou didn't know why a trace of panic and anxiety flashed in her heart, she shook her head reflexively and said, "Xiaoxi, don't listen to Xue Rui's nonsense, I really just want to thank him for saving me that day That's all, I have no other meaning. What's more, we've only met a few times, I, how could I, have any different thoughts about him? "

Mu Jinxi breathed a sigh of relief, and said earnestly: "It's fine if you don't have one. Brother Mu is nice, but he's not suitable for you. Don't be fooled by his appearance."

Mo Xuerui also nodded and said: "Well, I think so too. Ling Muhua is too complicated a person to be suitable for Mo'er. You, you should find a well-matched son and brother to marry. That's the right way."

It was nothing at first, but when Xu Morou heard what her two friends said, Xu Morou suddenly felt sad and wronged. She felt depressed and wanted to refute loudly that it was not suitable for men and women to be unmarried. As long as two people are willing, That's right!Her parents didn't dislike the poor and love the rich, and they didn't ask her future husband-in-law to be so powerful or outstanding. As long as the other party treats her well, her parents will accept it.

Why did Xiaoxi and Xuerui say with certainty that they are not suitable for that person...

Xu Morou didn't want others to see her thoughts, she also felt that there might be something wrong with her, and she was affected by their words, so she smiled and said: "Look at you guys, I just asked, it's nothing It’s a big deal, if it’s not convenient to thank him in person, then it’s the same if I ask Xiao Xi to thank him for me.”

Mu Jinxi thought for a while and said: "Actually, you don't have to thank me, maybe he has already forgotten about it, and it might just be a matter of little effort to him."

Although Brother Mu can't be said to be a person who loves to help others, he is not a person who will not help others, let alone Mo'er is her friend.

Xu Morou twitched the corner of her mouth and said: "I know, but it's his business that he forgot, and it's my business whether I thank him or not. It can't be because the other party has forgotten, and I myself have forgotten the help others have given me. wrong."

Mu Jinxi sighed softly when she heard the words and said: "You, you, well, let me tell you the truth, Brother Mu will definitely receive the post, even if he doesn't receive it, he will go, when the time comes you and Xuerui also join in the fun, horse racing is not only a sport that men can play, we women can also play it if they are interested, if you like it then you can also participate."

Xu Morou and Mo Xuerui's eyes lit up, and asked in unison: "We can play too, really?"

"Of course it's true, do I have to lie to you?"

Xu Morou is fine, she has always been quiet, but Mo Xuerui is different, she is eager to try, she can't wait to see it right away, she has heard Xiao Xi said it before, and she feels that the horse race seems to be very fun, She was still dissatisfied and thought about why such fun things are played by men, but women can't play. She didn't expect to hear Xiao Xi say that women can also play it today!
"Xiaoxi, tell us about the horse racing at your racetrack. Others don't know. If I know, will I take the lead if I go to play?" Mo Xue Rui said with bright eyes.

Mu Jinxi glanced at her with a half-smile and said, "Why are you still thinking about it? How is the matter between you and my elder brother?"

As soon as she mentioned this, Mo Xuerui's whole body froze, she dropped her shoulders and said weakly: "Stop talking, I'm really annoyed to death by this matter recently."

"What's wrong? Didn't your family agree? Besides, my parents don't seem to have any opinion! Could it be my elder brother?" Mu Jinxi guessed.

Mo Xuerui said angrily: "Isn't that dull brother of yours! He took the wrong medicine and he was fine before, but since Yao's incident happened, he has changed and dared to hide from me! He was obviously fine before! Who knew that once the matter was over, he would change!"

He was still smiling to herself on the day of the interrogation, and she could tell that he was not as indifferent to her as he appeared on the surface, but she didn't know why he started to avoid her after his charges were cleared. It made her confused.It was fine for him to avoid her when he was framed by Yao's splashing dirty water, she could understand, but now that everything is over, what does it mean that he still avoids her?
Mu Jinxi looked at her in surprise: "My elder brother avoids you? No way?"

She didn't see it, although the eldest brother avoided Xue Rui before the truth was found out, but at that time the eldest brother stayed in the mansion all day, not seeing anyone, even some of his friends, hiding from Xue Rui It's also normal.But after Yao's incident was resolved, the elder brother returned to normal. After he told the elder brother that Xuerui was a good woman and worried about him during that time, the elder brother said he knew it.

In this case, why would the elder brother avoid Xue Rui?She thought that her eldest brother would quickly find Xue Rui to explain clearly after that matter was settled, could it be the opposite?
"Why am I lying to you? I secretly sent him several letters, but he didn't reply to me. What is this if it's not avoiding me?"

"Did something happen to you?" Xu Morou asked.

Mo Xuerui gave her a white look: "There is nothing easy to happen to us. Some time ago, I was very worried about Yao's incident. We have never met in private! Who knows that he will be nervous gone."

"Xiao Xi, he is your elder brother, you should know what's going on with him, right?" Now that this matter was mentioned, she had to figure out what was going on.

Mu Jinxi spread her hands and said helplessly: "Although he is my elder brother, don't forget that I'm married and don't see him every day. How can I know what's wrong with him? But you also Don't worry, my eldest brother will definitely be there when my racecourse opens, and you will be able to see him when you go, so you should ask yourself."

"Hmph, it's best to be like this, don't think he can get rid of me!" Mo Xuerui said angrily.

Mu Jinxi twitched the corner of her mouth, very suspicious that Mo Xuerui had actually traveled from the modern age, otherwise, how could her style be so open, making her, a modern person, unable to match her, she was so impressed.

Xu Morou, on the other hand, looked at Mo Xuerui with some envy. For her boldness, daring to act, and daring to pursue what she wanted, unlike her, if she fell in love with a man, she probably would not dare to say it out. Can you let the family members decide?Compared with Xue Rui, she is really useless.

Thinking about it, she couldn't help lowering her head, looked down at the veil she was wearing, pulled it lightly, and became a little absent-minded.

Mu Jinxi looked at this for a while, looked at that for a while, couldn't help but stroked her forehead, touched her stomach, and suddenly let out a cry.

"what!"

Mo Xuerui and Xu Morou, who were thinking about something, were taken aback by her yelling, they patted their chests, panted slightly, and glared at her reproachfully.

"Xiao Xi, why are you so surprised, it's going to scare you to death!"

"Yeah, Xiao Xi, I was taken aback by you."

Mu Jinxi opened her eyes wide, looking a little unbelievable, pointing to her stomach and said: "I, my stomach moved..."

"Why did you move your stomach? Are you kidding? How could your stomach move—huh? Could it be that the child in your stomach moved?" Mo Xuerui immediately stood up and walked to her side in two or three steps. , looking curiously at her growing belly.

Xu Morou also walked over curiously, "Xiaoxi, is it really the baby in your belly that moved?"

Mu Jinxi nodded and said, "Well, it seemed to kick me when I touched it just now."

"Wow, really? Xiaoxi, can I touch it?" Xu Morou exclaimed, it was the first time she had such close contact with a pregnant woman, and she even heard that the baby could move.

She also heard before that when a woman is pregnant to a certain month, the baby in the stomach will move. She still doubts it. It is so small and the place in the stomach is so small, how can it move?But if Xiaoxi said it, she would believe it. She really wanted to touch it. She had never touched a pregnant woman's belly before.

"I want it too, I want it too!"

"Okay, if you want to touch it, you can touch it, but it's up to you whether you can feel the baby's movements." Mu Jinxi said with her stomach puffed out.

Mo Xuerui and Xu Morou carefully put their little hands on Mu Jinxi's belly, feeling quietly, Mo Xuerui couldn't help but said softly: "Little baby, listen Is it here? Just move when you hear it, okay?"

It's strange to say that when Mo Xuerui said this, Mu Jinxi felt the child in her stomach move again, "It's moving, it's moving!"

It's not just her, Mo Xuerui and Xu Morou also felt it. The belly under their palms swelled up a little, and quickly shrank back, but the two of them really felt it. They were both surprised and happy, and felt miraculous .

The two touched for a while and stood up, seeing that Mu Jinxi's face was also full of excitement, Mo Xuerui couldn't help but tease: "Xiaoxi, it looks like you're promising, it's not the first time you're pregnant, why does it seem like it's the first time?" For the first time, I felt like a child moving."

Who knew that Mu Jinxi nodded and said, "This is really the first time for me—oh, I mean, this is the first time this baby's fetal movement is happening. It stands to reason that there should have been fetal movement a long time ago, but I haven't felt it yet. I thought what was going on with the child, but if the doctor hadn’t seen it and said the child was healthy, I would have been worried to death. I didn’t expect to feel it so suddenly, of course I was excited.”

And this is indeed the first time she feels that this body is not the first pregnancy, but it is the first time for her, can you not be excited?Any mother, as long as she loves the child in her womb, will be excited when encountering such a thing.

"Ah, there is such a thing. Could it be because this child is too obedient, so he hasn't moved?" Xu Morou guessed.

"Well, it's possible, Xiaoxi, is it a boy or a girl in your stomach? I don't seem to have heard you mention it before." Mo Xuerui asked curiously.

"I don't know. I won't know if it's a boy or a girl until I'm born."

"Ah? How come you don't know? Your stomach is almost five months old now. The imperial doctor should be able to diagnose whether it's male or female. How can you not know?" Xu Morou was a little dumbfounded.

Mu Jinxi said disapprovingly: "I don't want to ask. If I know it too early, there will be no surprises. It doesn't matter to me whether it's a man or a woman. Whether it's a man or a woman, I'm pregnant in October, and then I worked hard to give birth. I like all the children under me. And the situation of not knowing is the fairest to children."

Mo Xuerui and Xu Morou looked at each other, then shook their heads and said, "You are the only one who thinks this way. The wife of a family is pregnant because she doesn't want to know the sex of the child urgently. You are more at ease."

Mu Jinxi sighed softly and said: "It's wrong to think of patriarchy over girls. Men and women are actually the same. Look at those people who knew the gender of their child early on. If they expected to conceive a boy, but it turned out to be a girl, Feeling uncomfortable, it will affect the child in the womb. The child is innocent, and it is fair to admit the pressure from the parents before it is born, okay? "

Mo Xuerui and Xu Morou were startled.They have never thought about it that way. Well, everyone thinks that it is better to have a boy than a girl. Everyone hopes that the child they conceive is a boy, so that they can pass on the family line and consolidate their status in the husband's family. If you can't give birth to a boy, you will be divorced. Even if you are not divorced, life in your husband's house will not be easy.

Although they also think that boys and girls are actually the same, but people in this world don't think so, all people are patriarchal...

"You are alright, at least your family is very kind to you, and they didn't treat you coldly or care about you just because you are girls." Mu Jinxi sighed.

After thinking about it, Mo Xuerui and Xu Morou thought it was true. Their families were very kind to them. Thinking about it this way, it was the first time for them to feel that they were really happy, because their parents didn't care about them just because they were girls. , but love them very much.

When Xu Morou thought about the fight she had with her parents because of her marriage, she suddenly felt extremely guilty.Parents were doing it for her own good, but she hurt them willfully. Afterwards, she had a serious talk with her parents, and they also listened to her words, and did not make any preparations for her marriage.Only parents would love and tolerate their children so much, right?
"But Xiaoxi, it would be great if the child in your womb was a girl. You already have a son, Xiaobao, and if you have a daughter, you will have both children!" Mo Xuerui said happily, and then her smile collapsed, " It's a pity that I'm not married yet, otherwise if I do, the child I give birth to, whether it's a boy or a girl, can be your in-laws!"

But Mu Jinxi let out a fright and said, "No, no, unless the person you marry in the future is not my eldest brother, otherwise I won't be your in-laws!"

Mo Xuerui stared, unhappy, "What do you mean, are you looking down on me?"

They are friends, if their children can be together in the future, wouldn't it be great for them to be in-laws, wouldn't they be more intimate?How could she say no with such disdain?

Xu Morou was also puzzled, "Yes, Xiaoxi, why not?"

She felt that it would be great if they could be in-laws in the future, and they would be even more in-laws.

"You don't understand, Mo'er, you can do it, but if Xuerui marries my elder brother, then it must not work. This is a marriage of close relatives, and it will be bad for our offspring." Mu Jinxi said and hurriedly gave them Popularize the common sense of genetics, lest they think about cousins ​​in the future.

When Mu Jinxi said this, Mo Xuerui remembered, "Oh, did you say these things to my second brother, no wonder he said that, my parents still want him to marry a cousin of mine , my second elder brother said the same thing as you now, my parents still doubted it, but now it seems to be true."

"Of course it's true. The closer the blood relationship, the less likely it is to be married. The farther the blood relationship is, the better. In the genetic sense, children born this way are smart. But there are exceptions!" Like those smart celebrities in previous lives, there are also many Few are born to close relatives, but this is only a minority. Most children born to close relatives have problems.

"Xiao Xi, how do you know this?" Xu Morou asked strangely.

Xiaoxi seems to know a lot of things they don't know.

"Oh, I read this in an ancient book." Mu Jinxi used her usual excuse.

"Which one is it? I'll go and have a look too." Mo Xuerui asked enthusiastically.

"...I forgot the name. I read it a few years ago, but I don't know where I lost it now." Mu Jinxi said before Mo Xuerui asked to borrow it.

"That's it, then I won't be able to see it, what a pity." Mo Xuerui was a little disappointed.

But she soon became emotional again, "Xiaoxi, I'll come and go with you on the opening day of the racecourse, okay?"

"I want to be with you too!"

"Well, the two of you come over that day and let's go together."
