Chapter 50: Chrysanthemum Marriage

During the meal, Mu Zhongqing originally planned to set up a separate table for Nangong Yi and Cai Wei, but was rejected by Nangong Yi, according to his words, it is a family, so why bother to divide the elders and the young, isn't it more lively for everyone to eat together?

So, a large family sat down at a table, and there were five or six children alone, and although it was a little crowded, it was very lively and the atmosphere was very warm.

After sitting down, Nangong Yi scrupulously adhered to the duties of his dad and took care of a few buns to eat, and it can be seen that he usually does such things, because he feeds the buns and moves like a smooth stream, and he is practiced at a glance.

Mu Zhongqing and his wife are very satisfied with this emperor's son-in-law, although this son-in-law is the most noble man in the Great Jin Kingdom, he can let go of the emperor's figure, regardless of the eyes of others, and help his daughter take care of the children, without pretending to be at all, it can be seen how deeply he loves the children and his daughter!

Fei'er is very happy to see her sister and brother-in-law so loving and harmonious, her sister and brother-in-law have been married for more than three years, and they can still be as loving as ever, which is really touching!

Moved, she couldn't help but look at her man's body, aware of her gaze, Mo Ziqi glanced back at her, there was a bit of warning in his eyes, as if to say, don't envy other men, beware of me going home to clean you up!

They have been married for two years, and they have been getting along day and night for the past two years, and they can fully understand each other's glances and movements.

Seeing his unkind appearance, Fei'er shrunk her shoulders, hurriedly lowered her head, and secretly regretted it, she really shouldn't have forgotten her form in excitement for a while, she really shouldn't let him realize that she envied other men, the emperor is so good to his sister and children, he can do the same, she is convinced of this, it's just that they don't have children yet.

He's good at everything, but he's too possessive, and he doesn't like any man she looks at more, but now he noticed that she envied other men, and she must have suffered when she went back at night.

Hey, it's really self-inflicted......

Seeing her cat-and-mouse appearance, the corners of Mo Ziqi's mouth became a little more smiling. Isn't she envious of other men who are good to their wives and children? Maybe he will go back tonight and work hard, trying to confirm at the end of the year that he can be so good to his wife and children.

After the New Year, she has turned fourteen years old, and some things can finally be done, when the emperor marries the queen, isn't the queen only fourteen years old?

Thinking of this, he looked forward to it, he had waited for her for too long, he couldn't wait, but fortunately, she had finally grown up......

Tonight is sure to be a sleepless night......

…。

Fei'er didn't dare to look at the man's face anymore, let alone look at her emperor brother-in-law, so she had to cast her eyes on a few buns, a few buns were already able to eat with a spoon by themselves, but when eating fish, they had to be helped by others to pick thorns, they all love to eat fish, and the amount of food is very large, so Cai Wei and Nangong Yi have almost no time to eat by themselves, so they just bury their heads in picking thorns and vegetables for them.

Today's meal is made with the ingredients brought back by Cai Wei, all of which are pure natural and pollution-free green food produced in the space, and when two of the steamed phoenix scallops were brought to the table, the eyes of Mu Zhongqing and his wife almost fell to the ground.

Phoenixfish is an ornamental fish that has recently emerged in the capital, it is said that it is the princess of Qingluo Kingdom who is filial piety to her parents, it is transported from Qingluo Country after a thousand hardships, trekking through mountains and rivers, a total of ten are sent, four died on the road, and the remaining six were raised in the house like a baby by Jian'an Hou and his wife.

Later, the phoenix scaly gave birth to cubs, and the Jian'an Hou couple took the extra phoenix scaly as a valuable gift and gave a few to good relatives and friends, so that the phoenix scaly fish spread in the Great Jin Kyoto.

Because the appearance of the phoenix scale fish is beautiful and noble, so it is very popular with the nobles in Beijing, everyone is trying to buy one or two to raise, and the market price of the phoenix scale fish has soared all the way to a pair of 1,000 taels of silver, but Rao is so, no one is still willing to sell their hard-won fish, so the phoenix scale fish is in the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, and it belongs to the rich nowhere to buy.

The Mu family was also fortunate to receive two gifts from Jian'an Hou and his wife, I heard that this fish is very delicate, it has to live under a constant temperature, it needs to burn charcoal in winter, and put ice in summer, for these two precious fish, at least two or three hundred taels of silver a year must be burned, and the couple felt that it was not cost-effective, so they transferred it to Han Zhangshi of Hanlin Academy.

Unexpectedly, the emperor and queen actually steamed and ate fish worth thousands of gold, which was really extravagant!

Wouldn't the cost of their meal cost thousands of taels of silver?

In fact, they didn't know that the cost of this meal was by no means worth thousands of taels of silver, and that the jar of fruit wine produced in the space alone was a priceless treasure, as well as those abalones, scallops, and some strange greens that they had never seen before, if they were taken out and sold, they would definitely be able to sell for a lot of money!

After a meal, Mu Zhongqing and his two sons-in-law went to the main hall to drink tea and chat, and when it was time for the three milk buns to take a nap, Cai Wei took them back to the courtyard when they were not married to sleep, and Du Shi also took Die'er back to sleep. Leaving Fei'er alone with nothing to do, he called Wen'er and Wu'er, took a ruler to measure them, and prepared to go back to make a set of clothes for each of them.

Although there is no shortage of needlework people at home, as an older sister, she still wants to make clothes for her younger brothers to wear, in the past two years, whether it is her father or Wen'er Wu'er, she has not worn the work she has done.

Wen'er is ten years old, looks like a half-sized child, and has a slight manly momentum on his body; Wu'er is also seven years old, a head taller than Wen'er when she was seven years old, maybe it's because the child's nutrition is keeping up now, or maybe it's because of practicing martial arts to strengthen the body.

As early as three years ago, Nangong Yi sent a hidden guard to teach his two brothers-in-law to practice martial arts, starting from the very beginning of Zama step, practicing internal skills, and starting to learn step by step, and now these two little guys can easily knock down one or two adults.

After measuring the measurements, Fei'er instructed Liuzhu to take a pen, wrote down their measurements, and asked them about their homework.

After getting married in the past two years, Mo Ziqi often asked Fei'er to read more, saying that reading makes people reasonable, and now Fei'er is quite literate.

She took a few questions for the two little brothers, and the two little guys answered them fluently, and gave them two pairs, and the two little guys also came out, and the battle was neat, and it rhymed evenly, Fei'er was very satisfied, and said to the two younger brothers with a smile: "The answers are very good, it seems that you have not wasted your time, in order to reward you, my sister will make each of you an extra set of clothes, plus a pair of shoes, how about it?" ”

Wu'er said: "Sister doesn't need to make clothes and shoes for Wu'er, just make a set of dirty clothes for Wu'er, my mother said, let Wu'er wear the clothes and shoes that my brother used to wear, don't let us waste it." ”

Now, although the Mu family is now rich and does not lack silver to live, but the Mo Ziqi couple has always maintained a hard and simple style, the family's dietary specifications are fixed with four dishes and one soup per meal, all of which are ordinary home-cooked dishes, and do not eat delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Especially Wen'er and Wu'er, after returning home, they either practiced martial arts with their masters, or ran to ride horses, practice riding and archery, and did not quiet down for a moment.

Later, I saw that Fei'er and Caiwei kept sending them clothes, but they were blind if they didn't wear them, so I dispelled the idea of making coarse cloth clothes for them. However, she has already told SΓΉ Caiwei and Fei'er that in the future, they will send them less clothes, children's homes, don't wear too good, as long as the clothes are clean and decent, enough to wear, don't let them develop the extravagant style of the children of the Beijing scholars.

Cai Wei and Fei'er also agree with their mother's point of view, so they don't always send them clothes, shoes or something like before, Du Shi even proposed to let Wu'er wear the old clothes that Wen'er wore before, and those clothes are also made of very good materials.

Seeing that Wu'er was so sensible, Fei'er touched his little head with relief, and said, "It's okay, it's a matter of time that my sister got a set of four treasures of the study room of Fat Yan Zhai before, and Ming'er sent someone to send it to you..." ”

After the children fell asleep, Cai Wei took them into the space, and quietly left the Mu Mansion and went to Chrysanthemum's house alone.

Chrysanthemum's house is located diagonally opposite the Mu Mansion, it takes more than ten minutes to walk, she hasn't seen Chrysanthemum for a long time, just take advantage of the opportunity to see her today, and by the way, tell Mrs. Shen about the plan of the Liguo Mansion, so that they can know it.

At this time, the Shen family was having lunch at home, and the family of three was sitting on the kang, chatting about homely things, drinking small wine, so happy, and the unexpected arrival of Cai Wei made the family both excited and a little overwhelmed.

In the New Year's Day, why did the queen mother suddenly come to their house in a good manner? But what's the matter?

Cai Wei saw the doubts of this family, so she smiled and said: "I originally went back to my mother's house to save my relatives, because our two families are close, so I stopped by to have a look." ”

Chrysanthemum took Cai Wei's hand and said, "Cai Wei, you came just in time, help me persuade my mother, she and my father forced me to marry!" ”

Cui Shi glared at her, and said angrily: "You child, a daughter's family, don't marry in front of people, and you don't panic!" ”

Chrysanthemum snorted, twisted her neck, and said, "It's not all forced by you, I have to let Cai Wei give you a decree today, and you want to send me away all day long." ”

"It's not to send you, it's to recruit you!" Lord Shen corrected on the side.

As soon as she heard that Chrysanthemum had a target for recruitment, Cai Wei's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "You have found the object of recruitment so quickly?" This is a good thing, men should get married, women should get married, what is there to resist this? Besides, you are recruiting, and you are not asked to marry, it is no different from being at home, it is nothing more than one more person in the family! ”

"Listen, the queen has said so, but you still turn your head and refuse to accept it!"

The queen is on their side, and the Cui family is more confident, and she counts her daughter and says, "Li Sheng is a little poor except for the poor family, what is wrong with the rest?" People are admitted to the show with their own ability, and they are also beautiful, a talent, not to mention their character and behavior, even your father is so picky that people are full of praise, such a good candidate is not something that can be met every day, if you miss it, next time you want to find such a satisfactory person, maybe you have to wait until the Year of the Monkey? ”

"Yes, yes, daughter, you can't miss the opportunity, you won't come again."

Lord Shen also joined the ranks of persuading his daughter, and said bitterly: "Besides, you are fat like this now, if Li Sheng's family is rich, people will not agree to join the family!" ”

"Poofβ€”"

Cai Wei was amused by Lord Shen's cold humor.

However, having said that, Chrysanthemum has indeed been a little fat in the past few months, her face was originally a little baby fat, and now when she is fat, it looks even rounder, like a round apple, and her body is also fleshy, and she is about 20 pounds heavier than before!

Chrysanthemum was hurt by her father's truth, her face darkened, and she said: "He doesn't want to be rich, I don't want him yet, hum, I won't marry anyway, whoever of you is going to pay attention to him, Caiwei, go, let's go in, ignore them!" ”

As he spoke, he took Cai Wei's hand and walked outside in a huff.

Cai Wei grabbed her with her backhand and said with a smile: "It's not a way to escape when you encounter a problem, you have to discuss it with your father and mother whether to marry or not, but, according to me, since your father and mother have taken a fancy to that Li Sheng, presumably that Li Sheng is also good, anyway, you don't have any crushes, so it's better to marry in accordance with the will of the second elder; However, if you have a crush on someone, you might as well say it now, and while I'm here, I can help you get an idea. ”

Cai Wei has heard about Mo Zili jumping off the cliff for the chrysanthemum, and she is really a little moved, there are not many men in the world who can jump off the cliff for the woman she loves, if Mo Zili really fell in love with the chrysanthemum, not because the chrysanthemum was like Xiangyun fell in love with her, she would hope that the chrysanthemum would also have feelings for Mo Zili, if that was the case, she would no longer have to be annoyed about going against the Liguo Mansion, and things would be much simpler!

However, Chrysanthemum said without hesitation: "No, I don't want to marry at all, so I won't be interested in someone!" ”

Hearing this, Cai Wei felt a little lost in her heart, but she was quickly relieved, no matter what, she would respect Chrysanthemum's decision.

Cai Wei saw that the family couldn't argue about anything, so she said to Lord Shen and Cui's family: "Uncle, aunt, you eat first, and then I will talk to her, maybe I can persuade her!" ”

Lord Shen and Cui's knew that Cai Wei had something to say to Chrysanthemum, so they hurriedly said, "Go and talk about it, hehe......"

The two returned to Chrysanthemum's yard, and as soon as they entered the house, Cai Wei asked solemnly: "Chrysanthemum, there is a question I want to ask you, can you answer me truthfully?" ”

Seeing that she said solemnly, Chrysanthemum also followed Yan SΓΉ and said, "You ask, I will answer you honestly." ”

"Okay, tell me there, if you have to marry someone, who do you want to marry?"

Cai Wei felt that Mo Zili had a life-saving grace for her after all, she didn't believe that there would be no ripples in Chrysanthemum's heart at all, and she was a woman with high emotional intelligence.

However, even if she has low emotional intelligence, she will never attribute Mo Zili's actions to sacrificing herself to save others and helping others, as long as she says the three words Mo Zili at this time, even if she hesitates about her question, she will know what to do!

However, Chrysanthemum disappointed her once again.

She sat on her embroidered couch dejectedly, and said dejectedly: "If you have to marry, you can only marry the person my father said, you know, my father and mother are only one of my children, and they can't do without me!" ”

Cai Wei was puzzled and said, "Then why do you refuse your father and mother to join you for you?" ”

Chrysanthemum pursed her lips and said, "Let's see if I can refuse, if I can push off buying this life and not marrying is the best, I can't retreat, so I have to marry!" As he spoke, his face became even more depressed.

Cai Wei couldn't help but say: "Mo Zili once sacrificed his life to jump off the cliff for you, aren't you moved at all?" You don't think he saved you just to do good, I know him a little, he's not a warm-hearted person! ”

After speaking, Cai Wei's eyes stared at her tightly, not missing any of her expressions.

Chrysanthemum said blankly: "But, what is he not doing good for?" You don't think he likes me, do you? ”

After speaking, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Look at your expression, don't you really think he likes me, haha, no, I have neither outstanding appearance, nor a prominent family background, and I don't even have the gentle and virtuous lady that Miss Beijing should have, and he is not a fool, so how can he fall in love with me?" ”

Because you're like his predecessor! Cai Wei said in her heart.

However, it is not good for anyone to say this sentence, Cai Wei thinks it is better not to say it, since Chrysanthemum's EQ has returned to zero, and she has decided to follow her parents' choice, she has no intention of saying more.

Besides, she couldn't figure out what Mo Zili's attitude towards Chrysanthemum was, did she regard her as a stand-in for Xiangyun? Or really in love with her, before she figured it out, she decided not to act rashly.

The man was still waiting for her at her mother's house, and the child in the space woke up, and Cai Wei couldn't stay here for a long time, so she said goodbye to the chrysanthemum and wanted to go back to her mother's house.

Chrysanthemum sent her to the door, and when they broke up, Chrysanthemum suddenly remembered what Liu Xi had said to ask her to ask Cai Wei what Wei Chrysanthemum meant, so she stopped Cai Wei and said, "Liu Xi asked me to ask you, what does Chrysanthemum mean?" Why does he laugh like he smokes every time he hears my name? ”

Cai Wei choked when she heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched wildly, and she held her forehead and said, "This, you can understand it but you can't say it!" ”

"Ah......h

Chrysanthemum shouted: "What can be understood but not spoken, he said the same thing!" No, you have to make it clear to me, or I won't let you go. ”

As she spoke, she took Cai Wei's hand, looking like she would never give up if she didn't figure it out.

Cai Wei was so entangled by her that she couldn't get out, and Yu'er in the space wanted to pull the poop again, so in a hurry, she had to lean into the ear of the chrysanthemum and whispered to her to explain the other meaning of the chrysanthemum.

So, in the crazy roar of the chrysanthemum, Cai Wei finally got out.

As for what happened to Chrysanthemum and when the love calmed down, she doesn't know......

……

Five days later, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, news came out from the Shen family that the shopkeeper in Shen Juhua's house thought that the shopkeeper was engaged, because he could not get married during the national filial piety, so the wedding date was set at the end of the year.

After the news came out, Cai Wei didn't feel any surprises, but the Liguo Mansion seemed to explode.

The old lady couldn't accept the news of Chrysanthemum's engagement anyway, she never dreamed that Chrysanthemum would get engaged so soon, she knew that this would be the case, she would have asked the emperor to give marriage, but now, the Shen family has spread the news of the engagement throughout the capital, and it is too late for them to have other ideas!

Duke Li and his wife sighed, remorseful, and remorseful, but also a little more complaining.

"This Miss Shen is really ruthless and unrighteous, we sacrificed our lives to save her, but she turned around and married someone else, how can she be so unkind?"
