Since she knew the other meaning of 'chrysanthemum', the last person Shen Juhua wanted to see was Liu Xi, because as soon as she saw him, she would immediately think of something embarrassing.

Therefore, when she heard Liu Xi's voice, her first reaction was to flee quickly.

"Huh? Chrysanthemum, do you know Gonggong Liu too? What a coincidence! ”

Mo Shuya is very familiar with Liu Xi, because Liu Xi used to be her arithmetic teacher and her idol, so she was very happy to see Liu Xi, and she grabbed Chrysanthemum, who was about to escape, to greet him.

"Father-in-law Liu, are you also here for dinner?"

Liu Xi said with a smile: "This small restaurant is opened by Liu, I don't know how the two of you feel when you eat it?" ”

"It's delicious, it's delicious! Grandpa Liu, how did you come up with the idea of opening a buffet, it's so smart! ”

In front of the idol, Mo Shuya completely forgot about her dissatisfaction just now, looked at Liu Xi with starry eyes, and her admiration was overflowing, in order to make Liu Xi believe her words, she also pinched Chrysanthemum's hand and said, "Chrysanthemum, you say, did we eat very well just now!" ”

At this point, Chrysanthemum had no choice but to let out a low "um" and hum like a mosquito: "It's delicious!" ”

Liu Xi smiled and said: "It's good that the two of you are satisfied, I'm really afraid that customers who eat a lot and don't eat enough will come out and complain, which will ruin the reputation of my restaurant!" ”

When Chrysanthemum heard this, her face turned even redder, it turned out that he had heard everything and deliberately came to take revenge on her!

This dead eunuch is so small-minded, isn't he just complaining at the door of his house? As for deliberately coming to retaliate! Chrysanthemum hated him so much in her heart, but she didn't dare to offend him, in case she annoyed him and told her other meaning of her name, she wouldn't have to mix in the capital anymore.

At this time, she really resented the name her father gave her, if it weren't for this name, she would have crossed her waist and him, why should she be ridiculed by his yin and yang?

Ay! It's so depressing and aggrieved to be held by someone you hate! was depressed and sad, when a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Chrysanthemum!"

As soon as Mo Zili got off the carriage, he saw Shen Juhua standing at the door, she hadn't seen her for half a year, she was a lot rounder, her face was rounder than before, and her complexion was better than before, but for some reason, her head couldn't be lower at this time, as if she had done something wrong, and it made him feel distressed when she looked at it!

When Shen Juhua heard the sound and looked back, she suddenly saw Mo Zili, who was much thinner, and exclaimed: "Ah! Leaving Childe, why are you here? Hey, you seem to have lost a lot of weight, how did you do that? Teach me! ”

Hearing these brainless words, Mo Zili smiled and said slowly: "Okay, let's find a place to talk slowly!" ”

"Okay!"

Shen Juhua was so eager to lose weight that she agreed without thinking about it, Xiao Kui saw that she agreed without thinking, and hurriedly tugged her sleeve secretly, and reminded her in a low voice: "Miss, didn't Madame say-"

Without waiting for Xiao Kui to finish speaking, Mo Shuya squeezed Xiao Kui away, pulled up Chrysanthemum's arm, and said, "Why don't we go to Bafu Hot Pot City to eat and talk, anyway, we are not full, maybe we can meet the queen there!" ”

As he spoke, ignoring Xiaokui's eagerness, he couldn't help but pull Chrysanthemum into her carriage. Before getting into the car, he didn't forget to turn around and say to Liu Xi: "Father-in-law Liu, please send someone to stay here, and when Mama Zhou from the Shen Mansion comes, tell her that her young lady is leaving with me......"

Liu Xi looked at the chrysanthemum who was dragged into the carriage by Mo Shuya, and then at Mo Zili, whose eyes had been falling on the chrysanthemum, and understood everything.

His mouth gradually opened into an "O" shape, and he was very surprised, this Mo Zili couldn't be a chrysanthemum, this affectionate eyes were too obvious, even the blind could see it!

Mo Shuya's girl also took the opportunity to grab Xiaokui and said affectionately: "Sister Xiaokui, let's sit in the carriage behind, so as not to disturb the ladies to talk about themselves." ”

Chrysanthemum was pulled into the carriage in a daze, and only after sitting down did she realize that something was wrong, and said: "I remember, my mother didn't let me get back to Mozi, saying that it should be used to avoid suspicion, so I'd better go down!" ”

Mo Shuya listened, knocked on the hat curtain on her head, and said with a smile: "With it, who can know who you are?" Do you still need to avoid it? My third uncle has saved your life, you haven't officially thanked others, this time I said that we would eat together, and you want to release other people's pigeons, chrysanthemums, you are too unrighteous! ”

Chrysanthemum was overwhelmed by her, and she thought about it, at that time, Mo Zili sacrificed her life to save her, and she never officially thanked others, so it is better to take the opportunity of eating today to thank others in person, and by the way, ask him for weight loss**.

Thinking of this, he said happily: "Okay, just go, anyway, with a hat, no one can see me, I have a treat today, you are not allowed to rob me when I pay the bill!" ”

Mo Shuya smiled: "Don't worry, I will have a good meal today, I have to eat you poor!" ”

In fact, Mo Shuya was entrusted by Mo Zili today, and deliberately asked the chrysanthemum out, since he came back, Mo Zili has been trapped at home by his parents to recuperate, and he was not allowed to come out after a few months, he obviously felt that his body was no longer in the way, but Yao Yuan always said that he was better, and even exaggerated, saying that he had already done the root of the disease, and it took a year and a half to recuperate.

Mo Zili gradually realized that something was wrong, and he had a few available people under him, and he would know what was going on after a little investigation.

It turned out that the family had been confined to him at home because Shen Juhua was engaged, and his grandmother and father were afraid that he would be stimulated and do radical things, so they didn't let him go out or tell him the truth.

To be honest, the moment he learned that Shen Juhua was engaged, he did feel heartache, although that pain was not as piercing as when Xiangyun got married, but it was definitely uncomfortable. However, when he heard that Chrysanthemum's fiancé was just a small shopkeeper, all the anxiety and pain immediately disappeared.

In the Great Jin Kingdom, under normal circumstances, a man would not lightly enter a woman's family, because once he enters a woman's family, it is equivalent to abandoning his ancestors, and this kind of betrayal of his ancestors is despised by a gentleman, so a man with backbone would rather starve to death than enter a woman's family.

That Li Sheng was born in Xiucai, and he will have to gain fame in the future, but he still has no hesitation in getting into the red, which is enough to prove that he is a man without spine and blood, how can such a person be worthy of chrysanthemums? The reason why Chrysanthemum accepted this family affair was not because she liked that poor Xiucai, but because she reluctantly agreed to support her parents, so this Li Sheng was not afraid at all.

At that moment, he sent someone to investigate the recent movements of the Shen family, during the investigation, he accidentally learned that his niece Mo Shuya had been very close to Shen Juhua, and persuaded Shuya to try to help him meet with Chrysanthemum, he wanted to tell Chrysanthemum face to face his feelings for her, so as not to miss her.

He had already missed it once, and the pain of missing a loved one was something he didn't want to feel in his life, so this time, he would definitely not give up lightly!

When they arrived at the Bafu Restaurant, several people were invited to the private room upstairs, and Mo Shuya generously ordered a private room for Xiaokui and her maids-in-law, so that they could eat and drink as they pleased.

She accompanied Chrysanthemum and Mo Zi into the private room next door, and soon after sitting down, she found an excuse and left, giving up the space to the third uncle and Chrysanthemum.

Chrysanthemum is a girl with zero emotional intelligence, until now, she still can't notice anything wrong, and she gratefully expresses her gratitude to Mo Zili for him.

"Ligongzi, I haven't had a chance to thank you for your life-saving grace, if you hadn't saved me last time, my grave grass may have grown much taller at this time, thank you so much, oh, by the way, you can eat whatever you want, I have a treat today, I don't have to save money for me......"

Mo Zili looked at her chattering, and suddenly said, "Chrysanthemum, have you ever wondered why I would sacrifice my life to save you?" ”

Shen Juhua said as a matter of course: "Of course, it's because you are kind and kind-hearted, and you can't bear to let me die in the river valley!" ”

Mo Zi smiled faintly, looked at her fixedly, and said: "Although my person is not bad, but he is not good enough to save others regardless of his own life, to be honest, if it weren't for you who fell, I wouldn't have bothered to go down with everyone to search for me." ”

“……”

Chrysanthemum opened her mouth, she didn't say anything for a long time, at this moment, she seemed to be struck by lightning, the whole person was stunned, and now if she still doesn't understand what he means, she is not a low EQ, but a real fool!

It turned out that Niang and Caiwei's guess was right, he was really interested in her, but why would it be her?

"Uh...... Why would you.... Yes...... Think of it this way... ”

She was embarrassed to say the words "like me", but when she said the words "think like this", her face was already red as if blood. This is the first time someone has confessed to her, and at this moment, one of her girlish hearts is about to jump out of her throat, and her face is ashamed like a boiled shrimp, and her whole body is red!

Her question made Mo Zili stiffen for a moment, of course he wouldn't say why he liked her, if he told the truth, she would definitely walk away. In this world, I'm afraid that no woman wants to be someone else's stand-in!

Actually, at the beginning, he did notice her because she was like Xiangyun, but now, he doesn't know his heart, does he love Chrysanthemum herself, or does he love her because she is like Xiangyun? He didn't know either.

But what is certain is that he likes the feeling of being with her, he likes to see her, he likes to talk to her, he likes to hear her laugh happily, he likes to see her eat informally, he likes to be with her is that kind of relaxed and happy mood, and he likes to be with her for a long time.

It's just that he has never delved into his heart, why he likes her, why he has the intention of marrying her! However, none of this matters, the most important thing now is to get her back quickly!

Seeing that Mo Zili couldn't speak, the person seemed to be in deep thought, Chrysanthemum blushed, pursed her lips and said embarrassedly: "Look, I'm not good-looking, my family background is not good, and people don't have any particularly admirable virtues and knowledge, why do you..." Fancy me? ”

Mo Zili looked at her and said a little distressed: "Chrysanthemum, don't be presumptuous, in your heart, you are the best, otherwise I will not sacrifice my life to save you, in the future, I will also be good to you, a thousand times better than your husband-in-law, ten thousand times better than your husband, even if you don't be your son-in-law, I will help you take good care of your parents, so that they have no worries, so, Chrysanthemum, please give me a chance, okay?" ”

This sincere confession can be described as touching, and it blew the chrysanthemum unconscious!

How had she ever experienced such a thing, at this moment, she sat there stiff and stiff, her head buzzing, and her ears echoed with the sentences of his confession.

"Don't be presumptuous, in your heart, you are the best!"

"I will sacrifice my life to save you, and I will be good to you in the future, a thousand times better than your husband, ten thousand times better......"

"Even if you don't be your son-in-law, I will help you take good care of your parents so that they don't have to worry about the future......"

Chrysanthemum's head buzzed, and he regained his reason for a while, even if he liked himself, what was the use? She is already engaged, and the betrothed person must not be repentant, otherwise, she will be regarded as a villain who is untrustworthy and repeated, so even if he confesses, it is useless!

Mo Zili sat there, looking at her with blazing eyes, waiting for her reply, and after a long time, he heard her trembling voice: "You said it was late, I was already engaged, and the marriage event was all the order of my parents and the words of the matchmaker, so don't think like this in the future, it's not right to think like this......"

She rejected him, not because she had feelings for the husband, but because of the words of her parents, which shows that he is still very hopeful. Mo Zi said gently: "You don't have to worry about this matter, leave it to me to deal with, I won't let you be embarrassed in front of your parents......"

Chrysanthemum said: "However, my father and mother have always wanted me to recruit money, and they will not agree to my divorce." ”

Mo Zili asked rhetorically, "What about you?" Chrysanthemum, have you ever asked your heart? Do you wish you were married to that person? Do you like him? Are you willing to live with him for the rest of your life and have children with him? ”

"I, I ......"

Chrysanthemum couldn't say it, of course she didn't like that Li Sheng, if she wanted to choose one between Li Sheng and Mo Zili, she would rather choose Mo Zili, no matter what. Mo Zili is someone she knows, and she has saved his life, she is a good person, unlike that Li Sheng, although she has only seen him once or twice from afar, but for some reason, she always rejects him from the bottom of her heart, she doesn't like him, if it weren't for her parents to give her an engagement, she would not have chosen this Li Sheng!

"You can't tell, Chrysanthemum, your heart is rejecting Li Xiucai and unwilling to marry him. And I, although I can't go to your house to be a door-to-door son-in-law, but in the future, after we get married, I can record one of our children in the name of your Shen family, so that there are successors to your Shen family, and I will treat your parents like my own parents, so that they can rely on their old age, why do you have to find a door-to-door son-in-law? ”

Chrysanthemum looked at him embarrassedly and muttered, "But ......"

Mo Shuya, who was outside the door, pushed the door and walked in, and said to Chrysanthemum: "Chrysanthemum, don't do it, my third uncle has done this for you, what else can you be?" Do you know that after my third uncle saved you, he almost died, and if someone hadn't saved him, he would have turned into a pile of white bones in a small temple by the river. You see that he is so thin now, it is because he injured his vitality last time he saved you, and he raised him in Bianzhou for half a year before he came back. When he first came back, he was all thin, and the flesh on his body was still raised after he came back......

"Mo Zili, are you sick? That, I didn't know you were sick......"

Chrysanthemum's heart moved, she really didn't know that Mo Zili was sick, and she always thought that he had already returned to the capital? It wasn't until Shu Ya mentioned it that she realized that Mo Zili was indeed sick, he was a little outrageously thin, and his face showed an unnatural paleness, thinking that the serious illness must be very serious.

She felt guilty, and couldn't help but think of that late autumn afternoon, when she was desperately struggling in the cold river, the arms that suddenly gave her hope!

It was he, regardless of his own safety, who risked his life to save her, in order to let her roast the fire and recover her body as much as possible, he went to find food for her in his soaked clothes alone, and finally froze in the cold autumn wind!

And she, while enjoying the life he saved with peace of mind, forgot about her life-saving benefactor, and didn't even inquire about him, he was sick for half a year, and he must have endured hardships, so he lost weight into a bamboo pole, but she became fat without heart and liver like this....

It's so ungrateful, she is self-criticizing, her eyes show a look of remorse and pity, at this moment, her indifferent heart has begun to waver, on the one hand, the parents who gave birth to her and raised her, on the other hand, he who has a life-saving grace for her, no matter which aspect, she is unwilling to live up, but she can't do it......

Hey, what should she do?

…。

In the "all-you-can-eat cafeteria" separated from the Bafu Hot Pot City two streets, Liu Xi inspected a circle, saw that the restaurant was bustling and full, and he was very satisfied, so he walked to the door leisurely, and was about to go to the down products processing factory to see, when he walked outside the door, he met his old rival Jing Shizi.

Since the last time the Duke of Fuguo was put in prison, the Jing family has gradually shown a trend of declining, everyone knows that the Duke of Fuguo has been rejected by the emperor, so they have automatically and consciously kept a distance from their family, and even a group of gentlemen who have always followed Jing Shizi's side have disappeared, and now, there are only a few broken children who follow him to eat and drink, this Fuguo Gong's prince has long lost the momentum of the past!

Seeing Liu Xi, Jing Shizi's eyes immediately gave birth to a touch of ruthlessness, but soon suppressed it again, such a big change happened in the family, he no longer dared to act willfully Therefore, even if he wanted to kill this eunuch in his heart, he did not dare to make any radical moves on the surface, only snorted coldly, scolded "gelding" in a low voice, and walked to the cafeteria.

This cafeteria is very popular, you can eat as much as you want for 700 Wen, all-you-can-eat, almost the middle and upper class people in the capital have to come here to experience the experience, after all, people are curious, although some people are not bad for money, but after all, there are a few people who are not bad for money, and they can eat well and cheap and novel restaurants, why don't they come, so the cafeteria has only been open for less than a month, and it is often overcrowded.

Jing Shizi also came over when he heard others say that it was delicious, because it was cheap, he specially summoned all the fox friends and dog friends he could summon, seven hundred wen each, and a dozen people were only about ten taels of silver, which was much cheaper than the one he used to spend one hundred and eighty taels to invite them to a meal.

It's a great place to spend less money and eat well, and it seems that you will have to come here more often in the future.

Jing Shizi pondered, as soon as he entered the door, he was attracted by the unique and novel decoration of the house, and a few fox friends who followed him were attracted by all kinds of delicacies in front of him. ”

At this moment, the cafeteria was full of people, and everyone saw the scene of Jing Shizi being kicked out, and they all suddenly quieted down and looked at Jing Shizi as if watching a play.

was slapped in the face in public, Jing Shizi's face darkened, and he shouted coldly: "Why don't you do this Shizi's business, are you afraid that this Shizi can't afford to pay your pickled seven hundred yuan?" ”

Xiao Er said: "The prince said that he was joking, how could the Fuguo Mansion not be able to pay our seven hundred yuan?" It's our proprietor who refuses to do your business, and the proprietor said that your friends can stay and eat, but you're just, hehe......"

He didn't say the rest of the words, but his smile spoke for itself.

Jing Shizi was so angry that his nose was smoking, and he hugged his arms and sneered: "Who is your owner?" Let him get out of here and see me? I want to see what kind of dog looks down on people and dares to bully this son! ”

Xiao Er said unhurriedly: "Most of our owner's family knows each other, it is Liu Xi Liu's father-in-law next to the queen's mother, but our owner has important things to do now, and he is not as idle as the prince, he doesn't have time to see you!" ”

It turned out to be him?

Jing Shizi was really angry and hateful, he knew it was him, so he didn't come here, he didn't have to be slapped in public, and he suffered a meal from this eunuch!

He sneered a few times, flicked his sleeves, and turned to go out. The fox friends and dog friends who came with him all relied on him to entertain them, and when they saw that the people who were the owners were gone, it was not interesting for them to stay here.

For them, 700 yuan is not a small amount, no one invites them, and they themselves can't take out this money to eat and drink!

Jing Shizi walked out of the door angrily, the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, the more angry he became, and when those fox friends and dog friends gathered over, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's not eat the buffet today, eat something good." ”

Those scoundrels were annoyed because they couldn't eat the buffet, and when they heard Jing Shizi say this, they all suddenly came to their senses, and one of them said, "What does Shizi want to invite our brothers to eat?" ”

Jing Shizi sneered: "Eat donkey meat!" ”

"Hey, donkey meat is good, they all say that the dragon meat in the sky and the donkey meat on the ground, the prince really loves our brothers!"

When a roe deer heard that they were going to be invited to eat donkey meat, they all cried out for joy, and the others followed suit.

Jing Shizi took out an ingot of four or five taels of gold, handed it to his carry-on servant, and said, "Go to the mule and horse market to buy a donkey and come back, remember to castrate the donkey first, and then let's go back to the pot here, kill the gelding donkey and cook meat to eat!" ”

The little servant took the gold and went away.

When all the fox friends saw Jing Shizi behaving like this, they knew that he was against Liu Xi, although there was no direct conflict, but killing a gelding donkey with great fanfare in front of Liu Xi's shop, wasn't it obvious that he was scolding Huai?

These people who follow Jing Shizi are all scoundrels in the market, and there are no children of the family, so there is no need to be afraid that their own Lao Tzu will be calculated by Liu Xi in the court, they just have meat to eat, I heard that Liu Xi is going to kill a donkey for everyone to eat, they are all happy as if they have been beaten with chicken blood, and they praise this Jing Shizi and say: "The prince of the world is high, this steer has six clean roots, and the taste of meat must be better than that of male and female donkeys!" ”

Jing Shizi sneered and said, "It's good or not, everyone will know if they taste it later!" ”

As he spoke, he ordered the rest of the small servants to make pots and stoves, buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, tables and chairs, etc., and he sat back in the car dealership with a golden knife, staring at the cafeteria angrily with a pair of eyes.

Liu Xi, you donkey, let's see!

He cursed in his heart!
