Chapter 114: The Beginning
"Okay, now the participants in the lantern riddle guessing competition have already handed in their tips, we will make statistics soon, and the results will be available soon, everyone wait a minute."
"What do you think we'll be first?" Juelin asked.
Mu Jinxi glanced at him, "What?" Of course it's number one, don't you think? β
Juelin smiled and didn't speak, but it was clear in his eyes that he was confident.
Mu Jinxi saw the smile on Juelin's lips, and cut it, pretend!
Although there were many groups to be counted, the participants in the lantern riddle guessing contest did not have to wait long, and the results were counted in less than a quarter of an hour.
What is the result of the other groups Mu Jinxi doesn't care, what she cares about is the group she joins, what the final result of the family group is.
"The winner of the individual category is Miss Qin Yonghe! The second place is Miss Qin Yongmei, and the third place is Miss Yang Hui! Hey, this Qin Yonghe and Qin Yongmei are twin sisters, both sisters are talented, congratulations to the three! β
Yang Hui?
Hearing this familiar name, Mu Jinxi was very surprised, and Hui'er also participated? Why didn't she see her just now, it was such a coincidence, I didn't expect to see Hui'er here.
However, don't recognize Hui'er for the time being, after all, cough cough, she is pretending to be a family with Juelin. Fortunately, Hui'er hasn't seen Xiaobao yet, otherwise she would definitely be able to recognize them, it's so dangerous.
"Now to announce the results of the family group, the winner is Mr. Shan's family, congratulations to them, the second place is ......"
Mu Jinxi smiled happily when she heard the result.
Mr. Shan, this is a surname they fabricated, and they can't use their real names, anyway, there is no ID card to check here, and it doesn't matter if you talk nonsense.
Sure enough, it was their family who won! What kind of prize will it be? She's really curious! I hope I won't let myself down, it's about her future plans!
"Happy, aren't you?" Juelin asked after hearing the results.
Mu Jinxi raised an eyebrow, "Half and a half." β
"Half and a half? What do you mean? "Didn't she want to win first place?
"I don't even know what the prize is, but if it surprises me, then I'm happy. I came for this mysterious prize. The man said it was a treasure, but I want to see what kind of thing can be called a treasure! β
"You don't look like you're the one to get these things around." Juelin said lightly.
"Who is not rare in treasures? It's just a matter of seeing what kind of treasure it is. Different treasures have different values. β
If the prize they offered seemed to her to be just an ordinary treasure, such as a gem or something, it would only have to be worth it in silver. But if the prizes they offer are really rare treasures that their owners have picked up from overseas, and those that Da Chu does not have or are rare, then it is called valuable.
I don't know what came to mind, Mu Jinxi's eyes flashed.
Juelin saw the glint in her eyes, she was a little puzzled at first, and then thought of what the person said just now, and quickly guessed Mu Jinxi's plan.
"You ......" Juelin looked at Mu Jinxi in surprise, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
If her guess is correct, she's so bold! She was a woman, did she know how bold and horrified her thoughts were at the moment?
Mu Jinxi's attention was all on the prize, and he didn't notice the incomprehensible look on Juelin's face.
"Alright, now let's announce our prizes, and the winners of each group are invited to come forward and pick their own prizes. According to our rules of the game, the first place is selected first, then the second place, and the rest is the third place. β
Someone on the stage brought out a long table, and there was something on the long table, covered with a red cloth, which looked really mysterious.
Mu Jinxi's eyes lit up, and Juelin quickly got on the round platform by himself. Juelin was helpless for a while, and had to take Xiaobao to follow slowly.
He'er also took the stage, but she looked a little stunned and surprised. The person in the family group actually won the woman's family? How can it be? She obviously saw that the woman didn't answer any questions at all!
But when she saw Juelin, she understood that it must be the man's fault, he knew at a glance that he was a very smart person, even if his wife was stupid, but he would definitely help, so it was not surprising that they won.
It's just that how could he marry such a wife? Look at her, she didn't make any effort, but when it came time to receive the prize, she walked faster than anyone else. Hmph, it looks like a dirt bun, I haven't seen the world! He'er scorned fiercely in her heart.
"He'er! Remember what I said, if you dare to talk nonsense, come nonsense, go back and I will sue sΓΉ daddy! He'er's sister was afraid that her sister would do something she shouldn't do again, so she whispered in her ear.
He'er's face changed, and she pursed her lips and said, "Sister, I know, don't worry, so many people are watching, I won't be stupid and lose my face." β
"It's good that you understand, that family and us are just meeting each other, you really don't have to care too much."
"yes, I see."
Mu Jinxi didn't care what kind of eyes this lotus was staring at her, she just wanted to know what was under the red cloth.
The red cloth slowly pulled away, and when all the things on the long table were revealed, some people were amazed and some people were disappointed.
The disappointed person is naturally Mu Jinxi.
Hey, there's nothing special, it's all jewelry or something, and I lied to her about how precious it is, and she was happy in vain.
Mu Jinxi suddenly became a little excited, but when he glanced at it inadvertently, he came back to life. Oops, there's finally something that attracts her.
Mu Jinxi saw something attractive to him, and immediately walked over and carefully picked up the object.
Juelin also walked over, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is this?" β
Mu Jinxi replied without looking back: "Clock! β
I didn't expect to see a clock here! It was so unexpected for her!
"Clocks?" Juelin didn't understand, it was the first time he had seen something like this.
Mu Jinxi held the thing in his hand was not large, and in the middle was a transparent round lens, under which was written...... It's numbers, right? And then there were a few bars of things that were slowly moving. Around the lenses, there are some delicate patterns and characters carved with something that looks like copper, and the chest is exposed, and at a glance, you can know that it is not a big Chu thing, and it is unethical!
Juelin quickly looked away after seeing the bare-chested and breast-baring figures, looking a little embarrassed, but Mu Jinxi didn't seem to see it, just staring at the object.
"What the hell is this?" Juelin couldn't accept it for a while, but there was something he didn't recognize.
Mu Jinxi finally took the time to look at him and said, "The clock is a time tool, which allows us to know the time accurately. In fact, it is similar to the function of the leaky pot that we commonly use in Da Chu. It's just that this one is a little more precise. β
She's also a little more familiar.
"Is this the object that this lady has her eye on? However, this is a prize for the individual group, not a prize for the family group. β
Ah, not a prize for the family group? Mu Jinxi was stunned, then remembered the rules of the game, and hurriedly asked, "Who is the winner of this group?" β
She didn't listen carefully just now.
The man pointed to the people on the stage and said, Mu Jinxi frowned when she saw He'er, why are they her two sisters, so unless the two sisters don't want this thing, she can change with the third place?
Mu Jinxi put down the delicate clock in her hand, silently hoping that the two sisters had not chosen the clock. They don't know the value of this clock, so they should choose something else, right?
Other things are not attractive to her, but to ordinary women, the attraction is still quite large. For example, there is a relatively simple music box, although it is not as delicate as modern ones, but it is enough for girls to like it in Da Chu.
There were also some gemstones, and she even saw a necklace with diamonds! Diamonds are valuable, women love diamonds, right? Then there were some very ingenious and delicate objects, which did not appeal much to her, but which were indeed treasures to others.
Maybe she can talk to the so-called owner behind it? After all, it was also an opportunity, albeit risky. I just don't know if the owner is willing to negotiate business with a woman, and now she doesn't have much money to invest in this area, the amount of money needed is too large, and to be honest, according to her current ability, she can't afford it.
Mu Jinxi's eyes fell on the prize on the stage, but his heart was churning.
"That's what I want!"
It was the sudden sound on the stage that pulled her back, but her brows were furrowed.
The prize chosen by He'er was the clock that Mu Jinxi had a crush on.
Unlucky! This man did it on purpose, right? Otherwise, they would have looked at her with triumphant eyes.
Idiot! She should choose something that she thinks is valuable, rather than a thing that she doesn't know or even know.
Mu Jinxi pursed the corners of her lips, feeling a little pity, she originally thought that if someone else chose this clock, then she would exchange her prize for it, who knew that it would be this woman. Looks like the clock is not to be thought of.
"What? Do you really like this so much...... Clock? Juelin noticed the look of disappointment on her face.
"Well, that's what appeals to me here." After saying this, she has not been very accustomed to the timekeeping method of this era, she is used to being accurate to the minutes and seconds, and suddenly she has reached an era where she only knows the hour in her daily life.
An hour is equivalent to two modern hours, and there are one hundred and twenty minutes in two hours, and there are seven thousand two hundred seconds, unless she stares at the leaky pot all the time, otherwise time is a vague concept to her, and she can only know an approximate hour.
And the leaky pot was only obtained after the conditions of the family were improved, and it was something that only large families could afford.
It would be much better if she had this clock. Unfortunately, I didn't have a lot of luck today.
"If you like to trade with someone else later, just do it." In Juelin's opinion, this matter could not be simpler.
Mu Jinxi glanced at him helplessly and said, "Didn't you see who the first and second places in the individual group were?" β
Juelin frowned, "Who?" β
Is it someone you know? Wouldn't it be better to negotiate if it was someone you know?
Mu Jinxi raised her chin towards the stage and motioned for Juelin to take a look.
Juelin couldn't help frowning when he looked at it, how could it be them?
"Do you think they are still willing to change with me after what just happened?"
"It's not my fault, you don't have to look at me like that." Juelin looked down at Mu Jinxi and said.
Mu Jinxi blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "Of course it's your fault, if it weren't for the peach blossoms you provoked, how could such a thing happen." So as compensation, you go and tell the girl to exchange the prize with us! β
"I'm not going." Juelin refused.
If you want to count on Juelin to come out, Mu Jinxi is very doggy at this time.
"Juelin, you just go, ah, I really like this clock, Da Chu doesn't have such a thing, if you take it away from someone else, I guess I won't see it in the future." Just go talk to that girl, and she'll say yes. β
After a pause, he said, "And didn't you just love my wife?" Isn't it normal for you to make some sacrifices for your wife? Mu Jinxi bit the accent on the word wife.
Juelin choked and found that he couldn't find a rebuttal. I don't know if I really can't find it, or if I don't really want to find it.
"What's in it for me if I give you a swap?"
Mu Jinxi was stunned, benefits? What other benefits does he need?
"And what benefits do you say you want?" In order to get the clock, she gave it up!
Juelin thought about it and didn't think of what he wanted now, so he said: "Owe it first, and then I'll talk about it later!" β
I'll go, isn't this asking her to write a blank check, and the amount will be filled out by him?
Mu Jinxi thought about it and felt that Juelin's identity was not simple, so he should have nothing to ask for what he could give, so in the end, it was very likely that she would let her make him a crystal bayberry wine like last time, and forget it, in this case, he would suffer a loss, and she would take advantage.
"Okay, that's it, as long as you change the clock for me, I owe you a favor, if you wait for you to think of what you want, you say, as long as I can give it, I will definitely give it to you!"
As long as I can give it, I will definitely give it to you!
Juelin glanced at Mu Jinxi with a flickering gaze, and quickly retracted his gaze and said, "Remember, you said this." β
"Don't worry, since I have spoken it, I will naturally honor it in the future, and I am not a person who does not abide by my promises."
The most important thing for a businessman is to be honest, which is what she has always insisted on and her family has always insisted on. Everyone says that businessmen are treacherous, but in fact it is not necessarily, and treacherous also depends on what kind of treachery is and where treacherous.
"Okay, I'll talk about it later, and see if people are willing to change with us."
Mu Jinxi smiled maliciously: "You go, she will definitely be willing to change it, maybe she can give it to you." β
Juelin tugged at the corners of her mouth, too lazy to respond to her boring words.
When it came to the family group to choose the prizes, Mu Jinxi was a little absent-minded, but she had to choose carefully, after all, it was going to be used to change the clock later, so she had to choose a better one.
In the end, Mu Jinxi decided to choose the necklace with diamonds, and there was nothing more cost-effective than exchanging a diamond necklace for a clock. Mu Jinxi thought calmly, not considering that people didn't know any diamonds at all, maybe people here think that diamonds are just a stone, a beautiful stone.
Mu Jinxi was about to say that she would choose this, but her eyes caught a glimpse of a black cloth bag on the edge of the long table, which was flat and looked a bit like a medicine bag.
Pill packets? How can there be a medicine bag here? Looking at it on the side, I think it shouldn't be a precious thing, but since it's not a precious thing, why do you put it out?
Mu Jinxi was a little curious, walked over and asked, "What is this?" Is it also a prize? β
The person standing on the side was stunned, not expecting that Mu Jinxi was not interested in those precious things, but would notice these small things.
"Madam, these are all things that our host brought back from the sea, not the prizes of this lantern riddle guessing competition. Madame was referring to some seeds. β
Seed?
Mu Jinxi was stunned, but quickly reacted, and couldn't hide her excitement and asked, "What kind of seed?" Did your host bring it back from Nanyang? β
If it's a seed brought back from the South Seas, it's different!
The man was taken aback by Mu Jinxi's excited appearance, and said, "This, I don't know the specifics, it seems to be some seeds of flowers and vegetables." The owner said that these were given to him by the locals, and he didn't know how to plant them, and it was a pity to lose them, so it was better to take them out, maybe someone would take a fancy to them, so he ...... them."
Flowers and vegetables? Oh my God, this is literally for her!
Mu Jinxi was excited, not to mention the seeds of flowers and vegetables, the ones brought back from Nanyang were definitely not common in Da Chu, this alone was enough! She's taking a different route.
Without thinking about it for too long, Mu Jinxi said, "I want this!" β
Yes? Want this?
"Husband, madam, what do you mean ......"
"I'm going to have this as a prize for our group!"
"Madame, you have to think about it, these seeds are not valuable, but those prizes are treasured!" Is she really going to give up her treasures for these worthless things?
Mu Jinxi didn't care if people hadn't agreed, he directly picked up the cloth bag wrapped in seeds, grabbed it tightly like a baby, and said with a smile: "It may be worthless to you, but it may not be worth it to me." I've decided, that's it. β
If she's lucky, these seeds could bring her an unexpected fortune! Of course, it is much more valuable than those so-called treasures.
The man was stunned for a moment and then said, "If Madame really wants these worthless seeds, then give them to Madame, and Madame's prize can still be selected and taken." β
Give it to her?
Mu Jinxi was a little surprised, "Give it to me?" How does this work? Didn't you say that your host brought them back from the South Seas? How can you give it to me plainly? I'll use this instead of my prize to win the contest. β
She wasn't interested in the prizes anyway.
Who knew that the man still shook his head and said: "Madame doesn't have to care, our host said that these are worthless, and it is just a matter of bringing them back, and he is afraid that no one will waste them." The proprietor said that if anyone takes a fancy to these little things tonight, it should be a gift for today's holiday. So don't shirk Madame. β
"This ......"
Juelin said lightly at this time: "Since this is the case, thank you for your kindness." β
After speaking, he looked sideways at Mu Jinxi and said, "If you like it, take it, this is also the kindness of their host, and today is Shangyuan Festival again." β
Mu Jinxi nodded slowly, no longer pretentious, and said, "Then thank you for us." β
"Madame, please go and pick your own prize, and the rest of the family group is not picked."
In this way, Mu Jinxi did not choose the necklace, but chose a prize at random, a toy, or should I say a model decoration, a puppy that can move on its own decorated with various precious gems.
If you give this to Xiaobao, he will definitely like it.
After choosing the prize, Hibiscus and Juelin are ready to leave. Originally, Mu Jinxi was going to ask these people about their owners, but when she saw Juelin beside her, she silently suppressed this idea.
Juelin is here, she can only wait until tomorrow to inquire.
"Hey, wait!"
The two took Xiaobao and prepared to leave, but they were stopped.
As soon as she heard this voice, Mu Jinxi showed a smiling expression at Juelin, Juelin frowned, and his face sank.
It was Mu Jinxi, who was in a better mood because of the unexpected gain, even if he didn't get the clock he wanted at the beginning.
"Is there something wrong with the two girls?" Mu Jinxi asked with a smile.
He'er looked unwilling, but it was her sister, with a quiet smile on her face, who walked up to Mu Jinxi and Juelin and said politely, "Excuse me." It's just that I saw that Mrs. seemed to like this ornament very much, so I thought it would be better to give it to Mrs., and I should apologize for my little sister's rude to you just now. β
Mu Jinxi raised her eyebrows and said, "The girl is strict, it's not rude." Sister Ling...... It's just a little more straightforward. We're not very particular people, so girls don't have to care. So this apology is even more unspeakable. β
"Just now I saw that Madame stayed in front of this ornament for a long time, wasn't it because she liked it? In that case, why shirk? I can't say it, I'm not afraid of Mrs. making fun of it, our sisters don't understand this, the man said what kind of clock this is, it's to look at the time, but our sisters can't understand it at all. Besides, there is a leaky pot at home, so I really don't need this kind of ...... If Madame doesn't want it, we will also be dusty when we take it back, wouldn't it be a waste? β
Mu Jinxi smiled, and wanted to say that even if it was dusty, it was none of her business, but the girl who spoke seemed to see through her psychology and said, "If Madame thinks that it is not good to ask us for our ornaments, why don't you exchange the rabbit lamp in the little boy's hand?" I've always loved rabbits. The rabbit lamp in the little boy's hand is very cute. β
"Sister, this is not a rabbit lamp, it's a puppy! It's the same as my little white! Xiaobao opened her eyes to correct her beautiful sister's mistake.
Uh, puppy...... It's obviously a white rabbit!
The two sisters were stunned.
Mu Jinxi coughed lightly with some embarrassment and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the girl, this pendulum is a valuable object, and my son's little lantern is just a few pennies, how can it be compared?" β
Juelin, who had been silent, suddenly said: "That's it, my lady really likes this clock, if the two of you are interested in giving in, then let's buy it with silver, and you can make a price." β
Juelin's words made everyone stunned, and then Mu Jinxi laughed, thinking that this idea was feasible, and it was okay to buy it with money, but it would not work if she accepted something from a stranger for no reason.
He'er's sister was stunned and came back to her senses, quickly grabbed her sister's hand, stopped her, secretly gave her a warning look, and then smiled at Mu Jinxi and Juelin: "That's good, if you think it's more appropriate, then follow the meaning of the two." It's just that this kind of thing was also won by us in a guessing competition, and we didn't spend money to buy it, so if we sell it to you, we won't pay a high price, just a hundred taels of silver, what do you think? β
One hundred taels!
Mu Jinxi's lowered eyes flashed with a fine light, and she had a different opinion of the young lady in front of her.
One hundred taels is undoubtedly an astronomical amount for ordinary people, but this clock is not a hundred taels that can be bought, this girl offered one hundred taels not only to consider the value of the clock itself, but also to take into account their identity, the price is not high but not low.
If she is asking too high, they may not be able to afford it, and if she is asking too low, it will make them feel that she is belittling them. One hundred taels is a drop in the bucket for the aristocracy, and an astronomical amount for the common people, they are sandwiched in the middle, neither high nor low, just right.
She can sell it, and they can afford it.
Without saying a word, Juelin took out a silver ticket from his sleeve, "This is five hundred taels." β
"Childe, it's a hundred taels ......"
"The value of this clock is more than five hundred taels, you and I know it, so there is no need to say more. We don't want to take advantage of you, so if you accept it, you will take the money ticket and give us the clock, and if you don't want us to leave, don't waste time. Juelin said impatiently.
He'er's face flashed with a look of injury, but her sister quickly reacted and took the silver ticket handed over by Juelin, put it in her sleeve after looking at it, and then nodded to the people around her, and the people around her took the clock and wanted to hand it to Juelin.
But halfway through, he was stopped by He'er, who took the clock, ignored her sister's sinking face for a moment, and walked towards Juelin step by step with the clock. His eyebrows were lightly locked, his eyes were watery, and he looked at Juelin sadly.
Juelin frowned tightly in disgust, and was about to turn his head as if he hadn't seen it, but Mu Jinxi stepped forward first, blocked in front of Juelin, and looked at his sister who had a frozen face with a smile.
"Thank you, two girls."
Mu Jinxi reached out to take the clock from He'er's hand.
He'er gritted her teeth, and with a ruthless heart, she wanted to let go of her hand.
Mu Jinxi noticed He'er's movements, and a cold light flashed in her eyes and whispered, "Girl, you have to be calm, don't do anything you shouldn't do." We gave us the silver, and this thing is supposed to be ours, but if you break it......"
Madame laughed. He'er pulled out a stiff smile, and her face was a little unbearable.
"No, then give me something!"
Who said that women in ancient times were reserved, is this called reserve? It's much more open and bold than modern women!
"He'er! Don't be willful! β
He'er bit her lip and looked at the person who had never looked at her, and handed over the clock aggrievedly.
Mu Jinxi took it steadily, with a pure happy smile on her face.
Juelin couldn't help but smile when he looked at it, although it was very shallow, but He'er went to see it. I couldn't help but feel sour.
She also knew that she shouldn't do this, but she was like she had fallen into an evil spirit, and she couldn't control herself at all. Seeing him smile so gently at this woman who had no merit at all, she felt very uncomfortable.
Stomping her feet, He'er turned around angrily, ignoring her sister's call, and left quickly.
"He'er!"
He'er's sister looked at her evil sister, a little annoyed, and helpless, and said to Mu Jinxi and Juelin: "Little sister is gone, please forgive me, I'm sorry for today's facts." β
After saying that, he got up and hurried to chase his sister.
"Mother, what is this?" Xiaobao looked at it curiously.
"Watches, watch the time. You see, this short is the hour hand, this long one is the minute hand, this one is the second hand that has been moving, every time the second hand walks, it means that a second has passed, and it goes 60 times means that a minute has passed. β
Mu Jinxi, who got the clock, was happy for a while, and when he saw that his son asked, he patiently said to his son. He didn't realize that what he said would arouse Juelin's suspicions.
Juelin looked at Mu Jinxi with a vague gaze, pursed her lips, and wanted to ask her why she knew so much. Isn't she a village woman? Hasn't she ever been out of Peach Blossom Town? So how did she know these things, even he didn't know.
He thought he had read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles, but he never knew this. If it weren't for her today, he wouldn't have known that this thing was called a clock, a tool for measuring time.
Xiaobao's face was full of curiosity, and he listened seriously, but he didn't understand.
"Mother, what is the hour hand, what is the minute hand, and what is the second hand? Why is it a second instead of three seconds to walk a little? Why do you need to go so many times to get a point? Can't it be three points? β
β¦β¦
Son, my mother doesn't know, this time is not set by her!
Xiaobao's words made Mu Jinxi speechless.
Forget it, Xiaobao is still so young, he doesn't understand such an esoteric thing to tell him, so let's talk about it slowly in the future.
Mu Jinxi happily hugged the clock, Xiaobao held the gem puppy, led by Juelin, and the three of them continued to shop.
It's just that although the clock is not big, it is heavy, and Mu Jinxi found that he couldn't do it after walking for a while. But thinking about it, there is no one around her who can help her except Juelin, she can't let Juelin help her, right? So I gritted my teeth and held on for a while, but in the end I really couldn't do it.
"That Juelin, you still have this one! No matter how you say it, it's also your money, and I'll pay you back when I get to the Peach Blossom Restaurant. β
Juelin glanced at Mu Jinxi, he had already seen through her in his heart, but he didn't expose her, took the clock, easily took it in his hand and said lightly: "No need, just take it as a gift from me to Xiaobao." β
"How can this work? It's so precious! Mu Jinxi was unwilling.
"If you're embarrassed, then you owe me another favor."
Debt to the people! Think beautifully!
Mu Jinxi glared at Juelin, and glared at Juelin very innocently.
"Aren't you too precious? It's not expensive to use a favor to pay, so that Xiaobao can accept my gift. β
Juelin is very cunning, he doesn't say that Mu Jinxi accepted his gift, but Xiaobao, so that Mu Jinxi has nothing to say.
"Remember, you owe me two favors, remember to pay it back later." Juelin reminded.
Mu Jinxi stood in place and stared at Juelin's tall back angrily, grinding his teeth for a while.
People really can't just look at appearances! When she first met Juelin, she thought that this man must be a cold and noble person, what about the facts? He is indeed a noble person, because he can't hide his temperament, but he is cold...... No!
He's almost like a scoundrel!
Juelin walked a few steps and looked back, and when he looked back, he saw Mu Jinxi standing in place and glaring at him angrily, and that look made him feel cute!
Juelin was startled by the thought that came to his mind. cough cough cough, how could he think she was cute, and she was already a mother of a few years old, so she shouldn't be said to be cute.
"What are you doing standing there? Don't you be frightened by what I just said? It's just a favor, even if you owe it, it won't be good. I promise I won't sell you or Xiaobao. Juelin made a rare joke.
Mu Jinxi rolled her eyes, and said without any cheers: "Even if you can't make much money by selling it, there may be anyone who wants it." β
β¦β¦
"Mother, who are you going to sell? Xiaobao? Xiaobao pointed at himself and stared at him in horror.
Juelin hurriedly reached out and patted Xiaobao's head and said, "How could my mother sell you?" Xiaobao is so cute and so well-behaved. Your mother wants to sell her uncle, hey! Uncle doesn't know where he offended your mother. Juelin said with a distressed look.
"Mother!" Xiao Baoyi said sternly: "Mother, it's not right for you to do this, uncle is a good person, you can't sell him!" β
Mu Jinxi: "......"
Who said he was going to sell him, who said it, it was he who said it, okay, son!
"Mother!"
"Alright, alright, alright! I didn't say I was going to sell him, besides, he's such a big person, and no one wants to sell him! Mu Jinxi looked devastated.
Xiaobao tilted his head seriously and thought about something, and after half a sound, he actually said very solemnly: "Mother, no, she looked ...... that sister just now" Xiaobao tried very hard to find a word to describe, thought about it, and finally came up with one he thought was suitable.
"She looked like she was going to eat her uncle! If you were to sell her uncle to her, she would be so hungry, she would definitely want it! But my uncle is a human being, so he can't eat it! Xiaobao said worriedly, for fear that the beautiful sister just now would really eat her favorite uncle.
Mu Jinxi was stunned for a moment, rolled her eyes, and finally couldn't help laughing when she looked at Juelin's frozen face for a moment.
"Hahaha...... Eat, hahaha...... Juelin, you're going to be eaten......"
Oh my God, Xiaobao really hit the right and said the purpose of the girl just now. Isn't it, that look is like I want to swallow Juelin into my stomach.
It's just that Xiaobao said it like this, it feels really ...... Burst! It's so funny, she can't help it, hahaha, especially when she sees Juelin's embarrassed look, it's even funnier.
Juelin himself never expected to eat Xiaobao's suffocation, but Xiaobao didn't understand anything, very simple, not a simple person is Mu Jinxi! But he couldn't say anything, otherwise wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if Xiaobao asked after him?
"Alright, stop laughing!" Juelin was rarely embarrassed.
It's okay if he doesn't say it, but as soon as he says it, Mu Jinxi laughs even more cheerfully, which makes Juelin a little angry.
Xiaobao was even more depressed, and she didn't know why her mother suddenly laughed, and she laughed so exaggeratedly.
"Mother, what are you laughing at? Is it funny that uncle is going to be eaten? Xiaobao's clear and simple eyes looked at the smiling mother who leaned forward and closed her back in confusion.
"Ahem, Xiaobao, huh...... Didn't my mother laugh at this...... Poof, hahaha......" Halfway through the words, Mu Jinxi saw that Juelin was becoming more and more embarrassed, and even his ears were slightly red, and he couldn't help laughing.
"Shut up!" Juelin couldn't help but whisper.
At this time, Mu Jinxi was not afraid of him, and completely took his warning as air, and laughed to himself.
It's no wonder that Mu Jinxi couldn't stop laughing. It was the first time she had smiled so purely, so unburdened, in the long time since she had been here.
Such a smile seemed to dissipate some of the depression in her heart, and her heart was relaxed. That's why the more she laughs, the happier she becomes, and the more she laughs, the more uncontrollable she becomes.
She was happy, Juelin was miserable, and being teased by her like this was simply unprecedented.
Jue Lin was annoyed, so he strode forward directly, reached out to cover Mu Jinxi's mouth, and forced her laughter to stop.
"Hmm!" laughed happily, and was forced to stop, almost not letting Mu Jinxi choke on his own saliva.
She glared at Juelin fiercely with her eyes, motioning for him to let go.
Juelin was a head and a half taller than Mu Jinxi, and Mu Jinxi was not yet his shoulder, and at this time he raised his head slightly, and his apricot eyes glared at him angrily.
Since he met her, he had only seen indifference, calmness, and worry about Xiaobao in her eyes, nothing else. So now instead of making him feel angry, Mu Jinxi's angry glare at him made him tease, and he suddenly wanted to see what would happen if this almond eye appeared in other ways.
In order to realize this idea in his heart, he made a hot head and did something that made him feel very unbelievable to Mu Jinxi.

Wonton: Juelin, what do you want to do?!
Juelin: Don't you know exactly what I want to do? What garlic to pack? Hum! Don't think you can hide your impure nature by pretending!
Wonton: ...... I'm going to be a stepmother!
