The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 789 Extra Story [-]: Unpredictable Mind
At the beginning, Qiu Ju moved to live with Wei's two siblings, thinking it would be convenient to take care of them.Maybe at the beginning, I still thought of taking care of them for a while before trying to figure out another way, but as time passed, the relationship between Qiu Ju and Wei Shi's two siblings became better and better, and they even regarded these two siblings as their own sisters. younger brother, or a child.Back then Wei Ruoying looked eight or nine years old but was actually only seven years old, Wei Tianjiao was even younger, as old as Xiaobao, Qiu Ju felt very sorry for their two siblings.

Over the past few years, the three of them have cultivated a very deep relationship. Wei Ruoying and Wei Tianjiao regard Qiu Ju as their only family member.Especially Wei Tianjiao, who faintly regards Qiu Ju as a mother and admires and loves her.

Qiu Ju is also doing her best to take care of the two siblings.She felt that if she really planned to live alone in the future, it would be better to adopt the two siblings of the Wei family, and raise them as her own siblings or children, and if she educated them well, she believed that they would be a figure of kindness in the future. Those who report are not afraid that their old age will not be settled.Instead of remarrying a man and having children, it is better to raise what you have now.

She finally realized that there is not only one way to live a woman.

After Mu Jinxi heard what she said, she turned around and thought that she should not force Qiu Ju. She just needs to explain the stakes to her clearly. Having experienced a failed marriage, she should know what she wants.As for the rest...

Mu Jinxi mentioned the two sisters and brothers Wei to her in a somewhat cryptic way, "Qiu Ju, I think you are getting along well with Wei Ruoying and two brothers now, and I don't think they are the kind of ungrateful people. Take care of yourself. Take care of them, and there will be a caretaker in the future."

Qiu Ju was stunned for a moment, then she became happy, her eyes lit up, "Xiaoxi, you think so too? I think so too! I just think it's better for me to find another man to marry and have children. The two siblings raised them up, I believe they will not ignore me in the future!"

This way she can do what she likes without being confined to a small space in the backyard.

Hearing Qiu Ju's words, Mu Jinxi realized that she also had such thoughts in her heart.That being the case, that's good, it saves a lot of trouble.

"However, you still have to find time to talk to their two brothers and sisters about this matter to see what they think. It would be best if they are willing. If you really don't plan to get married again, I will help you pay attention to see if there is any suitable child for adoption. "

Qiu Ju was moved and held Mu Jinxi's hand, with tears in her eyes, "Xiao Xi, thank you!"

Thank you Xiaoxi for understanding her so much and supporting her, she knew Xiaoxi would understand her feelings.

Mu Jinxi twitched the corners of her mouth and joked, "I just hope that your parents won't settle accounts with me in the future."

Hey, is she teaching bad people?My brain hurts!

Qiu Ju shook her head, "No. I am no longer a child, and I have the right to decide the life I want to live. And they have been living in Xiushui Village, and I am in the capital, so they can't control me."

"Ah, didn't you say that you would pick them up to live in the capital?" Mu Jinxi was a little strange.

"I think so, but my parents seem unwilling, saying that the city is different from the countryside. They are not used to living in Xiushui Village, and it is better to live in Xiushui Village. Besides, the situation in Xiushui Village is getting better now. Do you want to come? The capital doesn’t matter at all. Later I thought about it and thought that since they don’t want to come to the capital, then I won’t force it, I will work hard to earn money, and they will have a good life in Xiushui Village. And there is my eldest brother.”

After thinking about it, Mu Jinxi felt that this made sense.If they hadn't come to the capital to recognize their relatives, their parents would probably not want to come to the capital either.

"Xiao Xi, then you agreed to go to sea with me, right?" Qiu Ju still didn't let go of this matter.

Mu Jinxi waved her hand, "I can't tell yet, but it will depend on how I prepare. If I can, I will let you go."

Since Qiu Ju wants to go, let her go, but she has to see if going to sea is too dangerous, she can't let Qiu Ju take too much risk.

Qiu Ju originally wanted to say something, but thinking of Xiao Xi's temper, she swallowed the words back.

Forget it, it's very good for Xiaoxi to say that, if she directly rejects him mercilessly, then he should be troubled.At least now she has a chance, doesn't she?
"Okay, then I'll wait for your news. You must not hide it from me or let me go." Qiu Ju warned worriedly.

Mu Jinxi couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "It's okay, look at you. It's not a big deal. Since I promised you, of course I won't go back on my word."

Qiu Ju smiled a little embarrassedly, and left contentedly.

Mu Jinxi and Ling Muhua discussed going to sea, of course they couldn't hide it from Jue Lin.At first he just thought that Jin'er was going to let her own fleet go out to sea for business, but he didn't expect that Jin'er wanted to go in person!
After hearing the news from Ling Muhua's mouth, his face darkened on the spot.

Seeing his expression, Ling Muhua couldn't help guessing, "Don't you know?"

Jue Lin gave him a sideways glance, and said expressionlessly: "If I knew that I could let her mess around like this?"

It's just nonsense!Jin'er is really messing around, he won't stop her if she wants to do business, but, but how can she go to sea with the caravan?How dangerous it is to go out to sea. The sea is no better than on land. If you encounter danger at sea, you can't save it even if you want to!Doesn't she miss him, doesn't she think about the three children?Is there still a place for them in her heart?

Seeing that his face was so ugly, Ling Muhua didn't say anything to provoke him at this time, "Maybe Xiaoxi didn't have time to tell you. In fact, you don't have to be too angry. Whether you can go or not is still unknown. And from the capital Depart from the pier and follow the route, and you will arrive at Haiguo without taking too long.”

Haiguo is the country that my uncle governs. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a country in the sea.The area of ​​Haiguo is naturally not as large as that of Dachu, not even one-third of that of Dachu, but it is still considered rich.It's just that the life of the people on the island is still somewhat different from that of Dachu.Because it is a country in the sea, many things can only be obtained by relying on merchant ships, or sending envoys to visit other countries to establish covenant relations.

He discovered this problem soon after he went to Haiguo.The people on the island can be self-sufficient, but a large part still needs to rely on the support of the outside world.The merchant ships that get there can sometimes fetch a lot of money for just some very cheap things.If he takes the first step and works together with Xiaoxi to occupy Haiguo's supply, there will be no profit.

Since the people of Haiguo are all in need, it might be better to let your own people come and maybe get a good price.

He discussed it with his uncle. Although his uncle wanted to compensate him, he would not make fun of the lives of his subjects. He just said that he could be given this opportunity. The door, give him a customs clearance disc.If this is the case, it will be more convenient to travel in the future. Not only will there be a large amount of sea tax and import duties, but it will also save a lot of time.

So this time the matter is very important, whether it can be achieved, but it is related to the major events in the future, so we can't be careless.

As for Juelin, he was worried about Xiaoxi's safety.According to what my uncle said, unless there is bad weather, the waves on the channel from Haiguo to Dachu are relatively calm and there will be no danger.As for pirates, there have never been any pirates in this area.He came and went and felt that it was indeed the case, there was no great danger, as long as he was more careful, there would be no problem.

And he is still there, even if he loses his life, he will protect Xiao Xi.

Jue Lin sneered, "Are you speaking lightly, pretending that I don't know the situation at sea?"

If this were the case, so many people would not have lost their lives at sea.

He can indulge Jin'er to do whatever she wants, but not going to sea!

Ling Muhua frowned, looked at him and said, "If you disagree, you can discuss it with Xiaoxi."

It would not be worthwhile if the two couples got angry and had conflicts over this matter.

He knew that Xiao Xi fell ill after giving birth to her daughter, and the two of them went out for a walk some time ago before Xiao Xi got better. If they quarreled over this matter now, making Xiao Xi ill, wouldn't it be so terrible?

Jue Lin had been very supportive of Xiao Xi before, and he thought it would be the same this time, but he never thought that his reaction would be so big.And Xiaoxi didn't tell him, but let him tell, does Xiaoxi know if he will fix him?

Ling Muhua faintly felt that he might have done something bad.

If Xiao Xi had told Jue Lin himself, maybe Jue Lin wouldn't feel so bad, but now that he said it, the feeling is different.The meaning is different.

He coughed lightly, trying to save something, "It must be that Xiaoxi hasn't figured out what to tell you, or she doesn't have time. You have to trust her, she won't make a decision on such a big matter."

Having said that, Jue Lin also knew in his heart that Jin'er must have not had time to tell him about it.But I thought so, and I knew it in my heart, but I still felt angry emotionally, and felt that I was neglected.

He knew that Jin'er was different from ordinary girls in the boudoir, especially after knowing her origin, he became more certain.

Her original world was so free and so good, when Da Chu was compared with her original world, he was immediately compared to the quagmire.If Jin'er hadn't said it, he wouldn't have believed it at all, and he couldn't have imagined that there is such a world, freedom and equality.

Jin'er must miss the original world very much, right?Even though he had pampered her to do what she wanted as much as possible, he knew it was not enough.Because he is still not from that world, he is from Dachu, his thoughts and ideas are the same as most men in Dachu.He can't be like the man in Jin'er's original world.

Just like now, when he heard that she wanted to go to sea with the caravan, his first reaction was resistance and fear.He didn't want Jin'er to go out to sea with the caravan, as long as she stayed in the capital, on the land of Da Chu, he could indulge her in anything.

After hearing Ling Muhua's words, Jue Lin's complexion became more and more ugly, gloomy and frighteningly gloomy.

After sitting blankly for a while, Ling Muhua really couldn't do it any longer. Seeing that it was getting late, he felt that it was better for him to leave now, lest when Jin'er came back later, the two of them would quarrel, which would be embarrassing and ugly.And she is still the one who caused it, Xiao Xi might tear him apart.

"Ahem, Jue Lin, it's getting late, I should go back, and I'll visit another day." Ling Muhua clenched his fist to his mouth and coughed unnaturally.

Jue Lin is not in the mood to pay attention to him at the moment, but just glanced at him lightly, "Walk slowly."

Hehe, how dare he let him give it away? It's already very good that he didn't take the opportunity to vent his anger on him.

Come on, he'd better go quickly.

Ling Muhua hurriedly walked towards the gate. Originally, he planned to see the two little guys, but now it seems that it will be another day.

I don't know whether to say he was lucky or not, but as soon as he walked to the door, he saw Xiaoxi stepping down from the sedan chair, and his face froze immediately.After seeing the people who followed her down, she became even more stiff.

It seems that his luck today is not very good.

Seeing Ling Muhua Mu Jinxi was very surprised, and asked reflexively: "Brother Mu? Why are you here? Are you looking for me or Juelin?"

Xu Morou stared blankly at Ling Muhua who was dressed in a light blue brocade suit, unable to recover.

She knew that he had returned to Dachu, but, just never had a chance to meet him, because she was different from Xiaoxi.Xiaoxi can leave the mansion freely every day, and the people in the palace won't care about it, and won't say anything, but she can't.There was no reason for her to go to see him either.

Originally, she was still a little anxious, thinking how to attack Xiaoxi and follow Xiaoxi to meet him, but she unexpectedly met him today.

If she knew this, she should have dressed herself up before going out...

Remembering that she just tidied up before going out, Xu Morou was a little nervous and quietly reached out to touch her bun, and gently tugged at her neatly dressed skirt, worried that she would make a fool of herself in front of Brother Ling.

But after realizing her behavior, she quickly blushed again, lowered her head and didn't dare to lift it, for fear that someone would find out that she was wrong.

She never had Xiaoxi's generosity and courage.

Ling Muhua couldn't help but cast a glance at Xu Morou who was still blushing with her head down. Thinking of what Xiaoxi had said to him, the strange feeling in her heart suddenly became heavier.

In his impression, this Ms. Xu has always been a standard lady of the family, with beautiful and gentle appearance, gentle and generous temperament, softness with strength, and hardness with softness. She is a rare noble lady with both appearance, talent and character.If it's about appreciation, he really appreciates it, but if it's about other things, such as being a partner or something... Ahem, he doesn't think it seems appropriate.

The last time Xiao Xi mentioned this matter to him, he was taken aback, wondering if he had misheard her and misunderstood what she meant.As a result, he cautiously and tentatively asked, yes, what she said was what he understood.

Xiaoxi said that Miss Xu was very worried about him when he was imprisoned by the emperor, and even secretly tried to ask her father and brother to help find a way to see if he could be rescued.Xiaoxi's intention to tell him these words is absolutely not just to let him know about it, the deeper meaning is something else.

He couldn't believe it, why did Ms. Xu move her mind on him?This is impossible, he is just a child abandoned by the Luo family, without any identity worth mentioning, and he is still planning to go to the end of the road of business.

How could she, a young lady from a family of officials, take a fancy to him, a man without any status?

He hadn't figured out the reason for this, but seeing her unexpectedly today, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.But thinking of what Xiaoxi said, he quickly restrained all his outward emotions, so as not to be noticed by the other party and cause embarrassment and unnecessary trouble.

He smiled and walked down the steps, with one hand behind his back and the other in front of his abdomen. His long black hair was tied on top of his head with a sandalwood hairpin, and part of it fell behind him.The light blue brocade suit weakened a bit the indifference he used to carry, and added a bit of warmth. Thinking of the blue sky in winter, it made people feel good.The end is personable, calm and calm, with a touch of evil charm in the noble air, very attractive.

"Of course I came to find Jue Lin. You are a married woman. How dare I come to you directly? If it gets out, what will I do if someone accuses me of colluding with Princess Mu?" He walked to They stopped a few steps in front of them, first chatted with Mu Jinxi, then turned to Xu Morou, and nodded lightly, "Miss Xu, long time no see, how are you doing?"

Xu Morou's heart beat like a beating drum, her face was stained with a layer of pink, she lowered her head, and gently blessed her body, "Mr. Ling is polite, I'm fine. Mr. Ling is still used to it after going to Haiguo? How long do you plan to stay in Dachu this time?"

Xu Morou bit her lip and asked what she wanted to know.

Mu Jinxi raised her eyebrows, and secretly gave Ling Muhua a teasing look.

Ling Muhua twitched the corners of his mouth, and gave her a look telling her not to join in the fun.

"Ahem, I came back this time to discuss with Xiaoxi about the caravan going to sea. If the matter is settled, I will return to Haiguo."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Xu Morou's eyes, and the handkerchief in her hand was twisted unconsciously.

Mu Jinxi frowned, and opened her mouth to say something, but Ling Muhua gave her a restraining look, signaling her not to say anything more.

Since there is no intention, there is no point in giving people hope.

She is Xiaoxi's friend, and he doesn't want to hurt her, and it affects his relationship with Xiaoxi.

Xu Morou is very good, but he is not suitable for him, and he is not suitable for her, a delicate young lady like her.The person she likes should be an aristocratic son from a wealthy family in the capital, who can accompany her in reciting poems against her, a romantic person, not a man like him who is on the go on Sundays.

If she is with him, she will only suffer, not enjoy happiness.

She deserves better.
