The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 795 Fanwai Thirteen: Choose a day to propose marriage

Xu Morou's move really made the Xu family jump up.

Mrs. Xu's persuasive persuasion was in vain, she cried day and night and was so sad and guilty.He felt that if he and the master hadn't insisted that Mo'er agree to the Zhao family's marriage, Mo'er wouldn't be so desperate to become a sister-in-law.Master Xu was furious and anxious, furious, but there was nothing he could do. The daughter made it clear that she wanted to fight them hard. They couldn't knock her out and drag her out of the Buddhist hall!
Mr. Xu was also in a hurry. On the one hand, he was annoyed that his younger sister, who had always been sensible, suddenly became self-willed, making the house uneasy. On the other hand, he blamed his wife for being troublesome. As good as it is, parents and he will not insist on marrying Mo'er.Anyway, it's my sister who I have loved for so many years, and now I see her wanting to be my sister-in-law. It would be a lie to say that I don't feel sorry or regret it.

After the hard persuasion was ineffective, the members of the Xu family were in a hurry. Every day, people used various methods to persuade her in front of the Buddhist hall, hoping that she could come out of the Buddhist hall and change her mind.In the end, Master Xu and Mrs. Xu had to make a concession, saying that as long as she came out of the Buddhist hall, the Zhao family's marriage would be over, and they would never mention it again, let alone force her to agree to the Zhao family's marriage.

Master Xu and Mrs. Xu thought that the daughter should change her mind and come out, but they didn't expect that she still didn't change her mind and insisted on staying in the Buddhist hall. They also said that after they agreed to this matter, they would find a suitable day to shave their hair and go home. !Mrs. Xu fainted again immediately. After waking up, the worry and anxiety in her heart left her with nowhere to vent her anger, and she severely reprimanded the instigator of this incident, Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang was in a state of suffering, this period of time was really the hardest time she had lived in the past two or three years since she married into the Xu Mansion.

Not only the parents-in-law didn't like it, but even the husband was quite dissatisfied with him, complaining that she came up with a bad idea, since the younger sister didn't like it, so he didn't force it, anyway, his Xu family couldn't afford a young lady.But she couldn't stop saying that if she didn't marry when she was old, she would have to marry some bad men in the future, which would harm the younger sister instead.

Now that things have become like this, neither advancing nor retreating, Mo'er is absolutely determined to be a sister-in-law.There is only such a young lady in their Xu family, how could they let her be an aunt?Not to mention that they are reluctant to part with it, even their Xu family can't afford to lose face like this!

Mu Jinxi was also very troubled, not because she didn't want to persuade Mo'er, but because she refused to see Mo'er even when she went!

In the past, she thought that Mo'er was a very gentle, reasonable, and well-mannered lady, but now she knew that she was so helpless when she was stubborn, and even made her teeth itch with anger.She usually looks gentle and gentle, but she hasn't encountered anything that makes her persevere and harden her heart. Once she encounters something, her heart is calmer and firmer than anyone else's.

No matter how tightly the Xu family was kept secret, some of it would be revealed. People in the capital were talking about it, but the people in the Xu family seemed to have nothing wrong with them, and everyone was not sure, so they could only talk about it in private.

Naturally, Luo Jiahui and Mo Xuerui heard about it, and they were both terrified, especially Mo Xuerui, when she heard the news, she felt a pain in her stomach, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly called the doctor.Then the two of them went to Prince Mu's mansion worriedly, and wanted to ask Xiao Xi what was going on, and why Mo'er made such a fuss.

Mu Jinxi was also very helpless, she explained to the worried two people, and finally shook her head and said: "It's not that I don't want to persuade Mo'er, but that she is determined this time, and she won't let me go to Xu's residence at all." You don’t want to see me. I can’t just break in, and the people in the Xu Mansion don’t dare to go too far, lest Mo’er’s emotions will rebound even more.”

Mo Xuerui and Luo Jiahui looked at each other, "Then what should we do now? Could it be that he just watched Mo'er mess around, and finally ran to become a monk? What kind of thing is this?"

All right, no matter what, it's not to the point of becoming a monk. What the hell is Mo'er thinking?
Mu Jinxi has been a little bit overwhelmed by this matter for the past two days. Mo'er's stubbornness is really annoying, but there is nothing she can do about her.

She frowned tightly, "Of course she can't be allowed to mess around like this. What kind of family is she? She still has a good time."

Firstly, she didn't have a family broken up, and secondly, she didn't experience any emotional trauma. She saw through the world of mortals, what kind of family did she leave, did she think it was just a joke?
"We think so too, but now Mo'er seems to be in a daze. We won't see her at all when we go to Xu's mansion. She just sent someone to tell us that we don't have to worry or think too much. It was all a decision she made after careful consideration. Listen to what she said, it really pissed me off." Luo Jiahui said angrily.

"She won't see you either?"

Mo Xuerui nodded, feeling a little helpless, "That's right, we thought she would at least be willing to see you, but we didn't expect that she wouldn't even see you."

Now they are even more worried.

"Xiaoxi, you have to think of a way quickly. I heard Mrs. Xu say that Mo'er has already picked a date, and she will leave Xu's mansion to become a monk in a few days!" Luo Jiahui was very worried.

"She doesn't see me. Even if I want to persuade her, I can't help it. That's the Xu Mansion, and there's only so much I can do!" It's going to explode.

Mo Xuerui pursed her lips and did not speak, the expression on her face kept changing, and after a while she made up her mind and said: "Xiaoxi, I think there is nothing we can do now, why not let Ling Muhua persuade Mo'er!"

She felt that the problem still lay with Ling Muhua.Mo'er liked Ling Muhua, but Ling Muhua rejected her, and the Xu family wanted to marry her to the Zhao family, so she felt discouraged and wanted to become a monk.If Ling Muhua could come forward to help persuade Mo'er, it might change Mo'er's mind.

Mu Jinxi was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly, hesitated before saying: "It's not that I haven't thought about this method, but... If Brother Mu doesn't like Mo'er, it might be counterproductive to ask Brother Mu to persuade Mo'er." .”

It's not that she didn't disclose this news to Brother Mu. She thought that if Brother Mu knew the news and had something in mind for Mo'er, he would definitely take action.But I didn't expect that it had been a few days, brother Mu hadn't done anything, there was nothing abnormal at all except busy with his own affairs, worry!What does this mean? It means that he doesn't have Mo'er in his heart at all!

What Jue Lin told her before was just to deceive her, right?To say that Brother Mu rejected Mo'er because he was concerned about his own identity and Mo'er's identity is all a lie, but fortunately she believed it, it made her mad.

"Why is it just the opposite?" Luo Jiahui didn't understand.

As long as Ling Muhua can persuade Zhu Mo'er, wouldn't everyone be happy?How could it be the opposite?
Mo Xuerui understood somewhat, and because she understood, she didn't know what to say for a while.

Mo'er likes Ling Muhua, if Ling Muhua is asked to persuade Mo'er, will Mo'er feel that it is a kind of hope?Having hope and then being disappointed, despair hurts more than never having hope, making people sad and painful.

"Speak up!" Luo Jiahui silenced the two of them, feeling a little anxious.

Mo Xuerui waved her hand and said perfunctorily, "You will understand why you like to admit that you like my second brother."

Luo Jiahui choked, stared at her and stopped talking.

Why are you talking about her, Xuerui is really broken!

Originally, Mu Jinxi and the others were thinking about going to the Xu Mansion again in the next two days, and if Mo'er still refused to see them, they would forcefully come!Who knew that the development of things was beyond their expectations!

This morning, the servants of Xu's mansion came to Mu Wang's mansion in a hurry. When they saw Mu Jinxi, they knelt down with a plop, and begged her to stop their young lady, saying that their young lady was leaving the mansion to become a monk!
Mu Jinxi was so frightened that she changed her clothes quickly, and hurried to Xu's mansion before Jue Lin came back to tell her servants.

When I arrived at the Xu Mansion, I went straight to Mo'er's courtyard. She did come out, but she changed into plain clothes and a simple bun on her head. She didn't have any hair accessories, only a cloth belt, plain and clean. Very beautiful, no makeup was applied on the face, and the soft face was peaceful.He was not surprised to see her coming, and even smiled, which made Mu Jinxi very angry.

She walked in with big strides, ignoring Master Xu and the others, waved her hands casually to their salute, walked to Xu Morou, grabbed her arm, gritted her teeth and said, "Mo'er, you Are you crazy! You have to tell us how to tell you, you are joking about your own future! If you don’t think about yourself, you have to think about your parents, think about us, why are you so cruel!”

There was no abnormal expression on Xu Morou's face at all, and she was so calm that it made people feel a little startled.Because the more she behaves like this, the more she means she is serious, not a joke, just a child's play.

Xu Morou put her hand on the back of her hand and said with a light smile: "It's not as serious as you said. I'm not doing anything, and we can still meet in the future. As for parents, don't they still have elder brothers and sisters? They will take care of you." Good father and mother." Speaking of her own sister-in-law, her complexion paled, obviously because of the Zhao family's marriage, she had a complete suspicion.

Mrs. Zhang was a little embarrassed on the side, but she was a little annoyed in her heart.

Now her situation in Xu's mansion is a bit difficult, the husband complained about her, he didn't stay in her room for a few days, but went to the concubine's room that his mother-in-law made the decision for him, but she couldn't complain.During this period of time, her in-laws also made faces to her frequently, and even the servants acted accordingly, which made her mad.

She said that this sister-in-law was at odds with her, and it was better to get married early, so as not to get in the way of the house.

Of course, she would never dare to say these words now.Although the marriage with the Zhao family is unlikely to happen, if she really becomes a monk, it will be good for her.As for the Zhao family, she will find a way to deal with it. After all, she has tried her best, hasn't she?It would be of no benefit to anyone if things were made too big.

Master Xu roared furiously: "You unfilial daughter, if you walk out of this house today, you will no longer be a member of my Xu family, not a young lady of the Xu family!"

"master!"

"father!"

Xu Morou's calm face finally changed, her hands hanging under her sleeves were clasped together and trembling slightly, her complexion was pale, complex and painful emotions flashed in her eyes, her red lips were tightly pursed, and she opened her mouth halfway to say something In the end, nothing was said.

The hall suddenly fell into a tense atmosphere. In this atmosphere, Xu Morou knelt down slowly, with tears in her eyes, "Father, mother, it is your daughter who is not filial. The only way to raise your daughter is in the next life." Repay again."

Now that she has made such a decision, she has already thought about this possibility.At the beginning, it might be a little bit of anger, but in the past few days, she suddenly figured it out, maybe she can get rid of all troubles after becoming a monk?She can't obey her parents' arrangement to marry, and she can't not marry, that's all she has to do.She really couldn't bear to casually marry someone she didn't like.

Let it be like this, without her daughter Xu's face may not be lost too much, after a long time, everyone will naturally gradually forget about it.Or it could be said that she died of a sudden illness, so that even if everyone was puzzled, they would not talk about it too much, and the reputation of the Xu family would be preserved.

What Master Xu said just now was just angry words, and after all, he hoped that she would change her mind. Who knew that she would say such words, and she was so angry that her eyes turned black, and she almost fainted.

Mrs. Xu burst into tears, "Mo'er, you want your mother to die like this. You are the only daughter, how can you bear to let your mother suffer like this? If you don't want to get married, then it won't work, and neither will your parents in the future." Forced you, okay?"

Master Xu's anger couldn't force Xu Morou's tears, but Madam Xu couldn't help it when she cried like this. Tears welled up from her eyes, but she wiped them away quickly, and said with a choked voice: "Mother, I'm sorry, it's my daughter who is unfilial."

Even if she succumbs now, she will not be happy if she stays in the mansion, she will be unhappy, and her parents will still worry about her all the time.

"Mo'er, mother begs you, just listen to mother and stop being self-willed." Madam Xu begged, holding her hand.

"Mom, I'm not willful, I—"

"You are not self-willed. If you are a good lady, you will be an aunt if you don't do it. What is it if you are not joking? Are you crazy? We have spoiled you! You don't want to walk out of this door today!" Master Xu Trembling with anger, he pointed at her with a livid face and shouted.

Xu Morou pursed her lips stubbornly and remained silent.

Mu Jinxi looked at the messy situation in front of her with a headache, feeling that she couldn't do anything.

Just when the madness in the hall was completely deadlocked, the servant came in tremblingly and reported that there was someone outside asking for an interview, and asked who it was, but the servant faltered and couldn't tell clearly, and glanced at the young lady kneeling on the ground from time to time.

Mu Jinxi's heart skipped a beat, a thought flashed through her, and she frowned.

The people who come will not be...

"Cough, my concubine sees that everyone should calm down now. Since there are guests coming, Master Xu and Mrs. Xu might as well meet the guests first. With this concubine here, I won't let Mo'er do stupid things." Mu Jinxi lightly Covering his mouth, he stood up and said, breaking the deadlocked atmosphere.

Although Master Xu and Mrs. Xu were angry and anxious, they still had to give face to the little princess of the Mu Palace.And now it's time to calm down, otherwise you don't know what you will do under the rage.

Master Xu stood up, "Since the little princess said so, let's do what the little princess wants, and the little girl will be relieved by the little princess."

"Master Xu is being polite. This concubine and Mo'er are good friends, so naturally I won't watch something happen to her."

Master Xu and Mrs. Xu left first. Mr. Xu glanced at his sister who was still kneeling on the ground, thought for a while and shook his head before leaving.Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes, thinking that there is no need for her as a woman to receive guests. She might as well stay here and see if the little princess can really persuade my sister-in-law. If it is true, then she...

"Mrs. Xu, please leave first. This concubine has some private things to say to Mo'er." Mu Jinxi said calmly, and at a glance she saw that this Mrs. Zhang was not a good idea.

It's not like I haven't seen this Zhang Shi before, but at that time I thought that although she wasn't the best, she wasn't too bad either.I didn't expect that all my thoughts are now exposed.

Zhang's complexion suddenly changed, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but he couldn't get angry at her, who called her the little princess of Prince Mu's mansion?She is just the little young lady of the Xu Mansion.hateful!
No matter how unwilling Zhang is, he has to leave, and he can't show any reluctance.

After everyone left, Mu Jinxi quickly helped the person who was still kneeling on the ground up.

After Xu Morou knelt for a while, her knees were already sore and numb, and she almost couldn't even stand still.

"Mo'er..."

"Xiaoxi, you don't need to say anything, I know what you want to say, but I really have thought it through, you don't need to persuade me." Xu Morou held her hand and looked at her and said very seriously.

What Mu Jinxi hadn't said yet was blocked in her mouth.

The two were relatively silent, but Mu Jinxi's mind was on the front yard, guessing whether the guest who came was the one she thought.He wanted to ask someone to ask, but he was afraid of irritating Mo'er, so he became a little anxious for a while.

Soon there was a strange sound in front of the yard, Xu Morou sat motionless, indifferent.Mu Jinxi couldn't help but look away, and she couldn't tell whether she wanted the person who came to be the one she thought was better or someone else.

When footsteps came, Mu Jinxi's eyes slowly widened, and finally she exclaimed, "Brother Mu? Why are you here?"

Xu Morou, who had her head down, was stunned, and when she raised her head reflexively, her eyes widened in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief, and she stood up abruptly, "Brother Ling, Brother Ling?"

She, she couldn't have read it wrong, right? Brother Ling, why did Brother Ling come to her?She blinked, a little confused.

Seeing Xiaoxi standing here, Ling Muhua felt less awkward.It's just that his eyes fell on Xu Morou who was looking at her stupidly, the veins on his forehead couldn't help twitching, and the hand holding the jade fan tightened.But his footsteps were still not in a hurry, and he walked towards the flower hall with a chic posture.

After walking into the flower hall, he politely cupped his hands towards Xu Morou, "I'm sorry for Miss Xu, I took the liberty to enter your yard, I hope you don't mind."

Xu Morou came back to her senses when she heard his voice, her heart beat a little faster uncontrollably, she took a deep breath quietly, calmed down the fluctuations in her heart, and smiled slightly, "Young Master Ling, you are polite. Xiaoxi is also here, and there is nothing rude about it."

Ling Muhua nodded, then honestly picked a chair and sat down.Seeing this, Xu Morou became a little at a loss, and looked at Mu Jinxi involuntarily as if asking for help.

Mu Jinxi sighed silently, and also sat down, "Brother Mu, why are you here?"

Ling Muhua paused as he tapped the palm of his hand with the jade fan, and then said casually: "Oh, I heard that Miss Xu plans to leave the mansion to become a monk today, so come and have a look."

Mu Jinxi: "..."

so?
Xu Morou suddenly became worried.

Brother Ling wouldn't think that she wanted to become a monk because he rejected her, right?She really is not!Although she likes him and hopes that he can accept herself, this is only her own wish.She likes him is her own business, she will not ask him to give the same in return.She felt that it was fate, and no one could be blamed.

"Brother Ling, don't think too much, this matter has nothing to do with you, it has nothing to do with you, it's my own... It's my own idea, not yours..." Xu Morou anxiously wanted to explain.

Ling Muhua glanced at her, with a faint smile, "Oh, I didn't say that this matter was related to me."

Uh... Xu Morou's face turned red from embarrassment, and she twisted her hands unconsciously.

Mu Jinxi looked at it expressionlessly, but her mind turned quickly.She didn't believe that Brother Mu would come here for no reason. He didn't do anything before, and she thought he had no interest in Mo'er, so she didn't want to involve him, lest the matter would become more unclear.But today he took the initiative to deliver it to his door. Does this mean that Brother Mu actually...

Thinking about it this way, she calmed down, and began to have the mentality of watching a movie.

When Ling Muhua said that, Xu Morou didn't know how to respond.

Ling Muhua was thinking about how he should speak so as not to scare people, Xu Morou was too embarrassed to know what to say, Mu Jinxi didn't want to talk at all, she just wanted to watch the show.

The flower hall fell into a strange atmosphere again.

After a long time, Mu Jinxi looked at the time and felt that if she didn't speak, people from the Xu family would probably come in!So she had to speak.

"Well, Brother Mu, if you have something to say, just say it, it's getting late now." She cleared her throat and reminded.

Ling Muhua glanced sideways at her, and hummed lightly.

Well, since everything has to be said, it is the same to say it sooner or later, so don't delay!
"It's like this. After careful consideration, I feel that I am not young, and it is time to marry a wife. I thought about this candidate and think that Ms. Xu is very suitable. If Ms. Xu has no objection, I will choose a date and ask someone to come to propose marriage .” He said in one breath.Although nothing could be seen on the surface, he was still calm and composed, but in fact he felt extremely awkward in his heart.

Xu Morou felt her head explode with a bang, buzzing, and a burst of roaring, which made her wonder if she heard it wrong, otherwise, how could she have heard Brother Ling say about marrying a wife and proposing marriage?

Mu Jinxi raised her eyebrows, looking at him with meaningful eyes.

Ling Muhua looked back at the past without avoiding it, the two of them exchanged eyes, and after a while, they each looked away.

"Xiao Xi, you can avoid it for a while, I have something to say to Miss Xu."

Xu Morou was startled, raised her head suddenly and looked at Ling Muhua in panic, and when he looked over, she looked at her friend in panic, with pleading in her eyes, hoping she would not evade, she felt that she had nothing to do with Ling Muhua That's what my brother said.What exactly does Brother Ling want to do?
"Xiaoxi!" Ling Muhua lowered his voice.

Mu Jinxi shrugged, stood up, and stroked her skirt, "Okay, I'll sit next to you for a while, you watch the time." She reminded.

Ling Muhua nodded.

"Xiaoxi!" Xu Morou stood up nervously, wanting to keep her.

"Miss Xu, don't worry, I won't eat you." Ling Muhua said softly, causing Xu Morou to freeze immediately, and could only watch Xiaoxi walk out of the flower hall.

"What do you think of what I just said?" Ling Muhua didn't waste any time, and asked directly.

Xu Morou froze for a moment, then quickly recovered and shook her head, "Brother Ling, I said that I want to become a monk has nothing to do with you or your rejection of me, you don't have to."

After a pause, she bit her lip, and still couldn't help explaining: "I didn't do this to threaten you and achieve my own goals."

Although... But she still didn't want Brother Ling to misunderstand that what she was doing now was a way to threaten him.She didn't mean that, and she never thought of achieving her goal in this way.Because she understands that even if her threat succeeds, she will not be happy for the rest of her life, and her forced feelings are not reliable at all.

Ling Muhua said lightly, and looked at her, "What's your purpose?"

"I have no purpose, really!" Xu Morou hurriedly waved her hands and shook her head.

"Really? Don't you want me to marry you?"

Xu Morou's face turned red, a little embarrassed.After all, I am a decent lady, Miss Qianjin, but now I am sitting with a man and discussing whether to marry or not, it is really embarrassing!She felt like her face was going to burn.

"No, no, Brother Ling, I, I know that you treat me...you don't treat me, you don't...so I, I don't want to..." She stammered, her hands tightly twisted together, her face The look of hesitation flashed past, and after a while, he gritted his teeth, plucked up the courage to look up at him and said, "Brother Ling, I like you is my own business, not your business, you don't have to be pressured, let alone worry about it." With this matter in my body, I feel that you rejected me so that I had the idea of ​​becoming a monk, it’s not like this, it’s really none of your business.”

After hearing her words, Ling Muhua took a deep look at her but didn't say anything, which made Xu Morou's heart skip a beat, not knowing what he wanted to do.

After sitting on pins and needles for half an hour, he still didn't say anything, Xu Morou became more and more nervous.

She swallowed her saliva and said in a low voice: "Brother Ling... It's getting late, you, should you go back?" She should go too.How can she get away if he sits here like this.

Ling Muhua seemed to be thinking about something, but was disturbed by her voice, frowned, and said after a while: "Well, it's really getting late, I still have things to deal with, so I'm leaving today, you When you think it over, let me know."

"Oh..." Xu Morou instinctively groaned, and then suddenly came back to her senses, her eyes widened, her mouth opened slightly, like a frightened little rabbit, a smile flashed across Ling Muhua's eyes .

"Brother Ling, what do you mean? I, I don't understand." She stood up in a panic.

Ling Muhua said as if nothing had happened: "Oh, that's what I said about proposing marriage. You may not be able to think clearly today, so I decided to give you a little time to think about it slowly. Let me know when you think it through. Someone will come to propose marriage."

After finishing speaking, she didn't care about her dumbfounded and started to leave, but stopped after taking two steps, looked back at her and smiled, but the smile was full of threats, "If you still insist on becoming a monk, it's okay, when the time comes I'll just go to the temple and snatch you back. If you shave your hair, it can grow back, I don't mind." As soon as he finished speaking, he left.

Xu Morou stared blankly at him leaving with her mouth half open, unable to react for a long time.

When Mu Jinxi came back, what she saw was that she was standing there motionless, as if she was stupid, her eyes didn't know where to look, and she was in a daze.

"Mo'er, Mo'er?" Mu Jinxi walked up to her strangely and stretched out her hand to stroke in front of her.

"Ah, Xiao, Xiaoxi, you're back." Seeing Xiaoxi standing in front of her tilting her head, Xu Morou felt guilty for some reason, and her face became hot uncontrollably, as if she had done something shameful same thing.

"What did Brother Mu tell you?" Mu Jinxi stared at her and asked.

Xu Morou was evasive, just embarrassed to meet her eyes, "No, no, I didn't say anything..."

Mu Jinxi glanced at her evasive face and her twisted hands, and became thoughtful.

"By the way, are you still a monk?" She asked coldly.

Xu Morou frowned, and a look of struggle flashed in her eyes.

She thought about it, but what Brother Ling said just now... She wasn't sure whether he was telling the truth or not. It would be fine if it was fake, but if it was true, she wouldn't be the only one who would be ashamed.

Seeing her like this, what does Mu Jinxi not understand?She chuckled lightly, causing Xu Morou to stare aggrievedly.

"Okay, it's getting late. I still have things to do in my house. I'll go back first, and I'll come to see you another day." Reassuring, she waved her hand and left without hesitation.

Xu Morou watched her leaving back for a long time before stamping her feet in shame, and locked herself in the room again.

The people in the Xu residence were relieved. Although they were a little puzzled by Ling Muhua's arrival, it was a good thing that their daughter did not insist on going to become a monk.As for the rest, talk about it later!
