Chapter 80: Warmth
Mrs. Ji, who had a full view of the small movements of the two of them, couldn't help but smile, gently pulled Ji Yuan's sleeve on the side, stood up and said to Mu Qiuhuang with a smile: "Okay, let's go to the kitchen to see how the meal is prepared, let Xue'er accompany you to take a walk around and have a look......"
"Yes......" Mu Qiuhuang heard this, and hurriedly stood up to send him off, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, and his good impression of his mother-in-law couldn't help but increase a few points.
After seeing the old father-in-law and mother-in-law step out of the threshold, Mu Qiuhuang felt that his body suddenly loosened, looked back at Ji Ruoxue, who had picturesque eyebrows, and couldn't help but move in his heart, and asked with a smile: "How is it?" I just behaved in front of my mother-in-law, and I said it in the past, right? ”
"Humph!" Ji Ruoxue pouted when she heard his words, and complained: "Stupid, it's not like you usually look like ...... at all."
"Ahh Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but touch his head, and said a little sneeringly: "Actually, I also think I'm a little nervous, but this nervousness, it's completely out of my control!" Again...... You say that pigs arch their cabbage in front of their masters, can they not be nervous? ”
When Ji Ruoxue saw him compare himself to a pig, she couldn't help but sneer and quipped, "How can anyone say that about himself?" ”
"Haha......" Mu Qiuhuang stepped forward and grabbed her hand and said, "What's wrong with comparing it to a pig?" As long as I can arch your good cabbage, even if I am a pig, I am willing......"
"Humph! Slippery. ”
"Hey......
"But judging by the mother's reaction just now, she should still be very satisfied with you." Ji Ruoxue said.
"Haha! I never doubted my mother-in-law's vision. Mu Qiuhuang said with a smile.
"Virtue ......" Ji Ruoxue rolled her eyes at him.
"By the way? Why didn't you see my mother-in-law appear when you were apprenticing a few days ago? Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"My mother went to the temple a few days ago, and she just came back yesterday." Ji Ruoxue explained.
"Oh."
"What about your master? Why don't you see your big brother? Mu Qiuhuang continued to ask, it stands to reason that he has been in the mansion for so long, Ji Yan should have come to him a long time ago.
"My master went to the Sword Forge House. As for my eldest brother's whereabouts, I don't know very well, I only know that he left Lucheng overnight yesterday......" Ji Ruoxue explained to him one by one.
Hearing that Ji Yan Temple left Lucheng overnight, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but move in his heart, guessing that something big should happen, if it wasn't a big event, I was afraid that Ji Yan would never leave at this time. However, he didn't continue to ask Ji Ruoxue why, firstly, he knew that Ji Ruoxue didn't care much about these things, and secondly, this was a matter of the Xiliehou Mansion after all.
"What are you thinking?" Ji Ruoxue saw that he was deep in thought, and asked.
"I'm wondering what your master is going to do in the Sword Forge Mansion?" Mu Qiuhuang replied casually.
"I don't know." Although Ji Ruoxue said this, there was a strange light flashing in her eyes when she looked at Mu Qiuhuang.
Actually, Li Taibai went to the Sword Casting House to give him the thousand-year-old cold iron. At Ji Ruoxue's apprenticeship banquet two days ago, Ou Yezi said that if Li Taibai was willing to take out that piece of cold iron, he was willing to go out of the mountain again to cast a sword for Ji Ruoxue. For Li Taibai, he already has the sword "Qinglian", and this piece of cold iron is naturally meaningless to him, not to mention that the purpose of bringing this piece of cold iron was originally for him as an apprentice, and now that the apprentice has received his name, this piece of cold iron is even more dispensable. In his imagination, it would be great for Ou Yezi to personally go out of the mountain to forge this piece of cold iron into a sword and give it to him. But she never thought that Ji Ruoxue had a plan for this piece of cold iron in her heart, and she wanted to use this piece of cold iron to forge a sword and give it to Mu Qiuhuang...... Ji Ruoxue didn't tell Mu Qiuhuang at this time, she just wanted to wait until the moment when the sword was cast to give him a surprise.
"That's right! Didn't you say before that you wanted to go to Miaojiang to practice? After a while, we set off for Miaojiang. Mu Qiuhuang said to Ji Ruoxue.
"Hmm." Ji Ruoxue nodded happily.
Mu Qiuhuang looked at Ji Ruoxue and continued: "This time we went to Miaojiang, not only the two of us, but also two of my friends with us. ”
"Well, it's all up to you." Ji Ruoxue said very obediently.
Seeing her appearance, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but gently hold her in his arms.
At this moment, there was a sound of broken footsteps at the door, and after Ji Ruoxue heard the sound, she hurriedly got out of Mu Qiuhuang's arms. Mu Qiuhuang was a little helpless when she saw this, and looked towards the door, wanting to see who was so annoying?
"Miss, Uncle. Madame asked me to tell you to eat in the dining room. The girl who woke up stood outside the threshold and whispered, but when her eyes touched Mu Qiuhuang's face, her own cheeks became red again.
"Hmm... We'll go over now. Ji Ruoxue said to Xing'er, but she noticed her red cheeks, and couldn't help but quip: "You Nizi, why are you so red today?" ”
"Ahh When Xing'er heard Ji Ruoxue say this, she subconsciously touched her cheek and excused: "The weather is a little hot today, and Xing'er may be suffering from heat stroke." ”
"Heat stroke?" Ji Ruoxue couldn't help but look at Xing'er with a smile.
Xing'er knew that he had said the wrong thing, and at this time, he was even more eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, and hurriedly said, "Miss, uncle, you two should go to the dining room by yourself!" I'll go back and feed Xiaohua first......"
Looking at the back of Xing'er leaving in a hurry, Ji Ruoxue couldn't help but smile at Mu Qiuhuang and said, "See? This Nizi has already started to think about spring now, and when she sees you, she starts to be nervous and can't even speak, so you can't treat her badly in the future......"
"I ......" Mu Qiuhuang thought for a while, looked at Ji Ruoxue and said, "Can I not marry her?" ”
"Okay!" Ji Ruoxue looked at him and smiled strangely: "Then the girl you told me last time is not allowed to marry." ”
"Marry, can't I marry?" Mu Qiuhuang hurriedly agreed.
Seeing this, Ji Ruoxue's heart couldn't help but move, and she suddenly raised her head and asked, "Who is more beautiful, me or that girl?" ”
"Of course it's you, do you need to talk about it?" Mu Qiuhuang replied without thinking.
"Phew!" Ji Ruoxue couldn't help but scoff at his answer, and said leisurely: "Xing'er is so beautiful, you can't even look at it, the one surnamed Su must be very beautiful......
"You will always be the most beautiful one in my heart." Mu Qiuhuang hurriedly laughed.
"I'm more and more eager to meet this girl." Ji Ruoxue muttered to herself.
Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and said to Ji Ruoxue: "Then after lunch, I'll take you to the inn!" I just happened to introduce Xiaoxiao and my two friends to you. ”
"Two friends? Wouldn't it be the two girls' family again? Ji Ruoxue said.
"Am I so attentive?" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but touch his nose.
"Yes, you're a big carrot." Ji Ruoxue replied righteously.
"This ......" Mu Qiuhuang knew that she was still angry before, and couldn't help but explain in a low voice: "One of them is a monk from Futu Temple, and the other is a Taoist priest from Wudang Mountain......"
……
……
I don't know what Mu Qiuhuang said along the way? But by the time the two of them walked through the courtyard to the dining room, Ji Ruoxue's face was already filled with endless smiles.
When I entered the dining room, I saw that Ji Yuan and Mrs. Ji were already inside.
"Daddy, mother."
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law."
Ji Yuan and Mrs. Ji looked at their appearance, and they couldn't help but feel relieved in their hearts, Mrs. Ji looked at Mu Qiuhuang with a smile and said, "Hurry up and sit down to eat!" It's a family feast today, so there's no need to be too polite. ”
"Yes." Mu Qiuhuang smiled at his mother-in-law.
Although it is a family banquet, in terms of its cuisine specifications, it is only a little worse than the imperial banquet. I think it should be the same as the reason why Mu Qingen invited Zhang Fuling to dinner in the first place, just to hide people's eyes, he deliberately removed a few dishes...... But even so, the dishes on the table are still varied, flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water...... Anything imaginable, it's on the table.
"Qiuhuang, this will be your home in the future, so you don't have to be cramped in your own home, how can you come as you like......" Mrs. Ji looked at Mu Qiuhuang and smiled.
"Thank you, mother-in-law." Mu Qiuhuang hurriedly thanked him.
Ji Yuan looked at Mu Qiuhuang and smiled slightly, picked up the wine cup on the table, and said, "Come, let's drink one first." ”
When Mu Qiuhuang heard this, he hurriedly stood up, picked up the wine cup with both hands, bent slightly at Ji Yuan and said, "Son-in-law respects Lord Yue's ......."
After Ji Yuan finished drinking the wine in the cup with him, he waved his hand at him and asked him to sit down.
Mrs. Ji pointed to the dishes on the table and smiled: "Huang'er, don't patronize and drink, come and eat some food......"
Ji Ruoxue instructed the maid to fill Mu Qiuhuang with a bowl of chicken soup, and said: "Hurry up and taste this chicken soup, this is the best thing in the world, and it is also specially simmered for you by my mother today, look at how good my mother is to you." ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Ji pointed at Ji Ruoxue and said with a smile: "You girl, you know how to shoot your mother's ass in one day, do you think everyone likes to drink chicken soup like you?" ”
"The chicken soup boiled by my mother is the best thing in the world, Xue'er is just stating the facts, not sycophants!"
Ji Ruoxue smiled and said: "If you don't believe it, mother, ask your father, let him evaluate whether Xue'er is patting her mother's ass?" ”
"No need to ask, Madame's simmering chicken soup is the best in the world." Ji Yuan said heartily.
"You father and daughter know how ......to make me happy," Mrs. Ji smiled.
Listening to the laughter and laughter between their family of three, Mu Qiuhuang's nose couldn't help but feel a little sour, and at this moment, he suddenly thought of his mother who didn't have the slightest impression in his mind...... How nice it would be if his mother was still alive.
"Qiu Huang, can you taste the chicken soup I boiled to see if it tastes good?" Mrs. Ji, who was delicate, felt Mu Qiuhuang's feelings burst out, so she deliberately opened her mouth and pulled Mu Qiuhuang out of her sadness.
Mu Qiuhuang took a sip of the chicken soup and drank it gently, and hurriedly praised it: "It's delicious, it's really delicious, this chicken soup can be better than the elixir and jade liquid that those immortals drink in legends......"
Mrs. Ji listened to his evaluation and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, Qiuhuang, you are also a big sycophant......
As soon as Mrs. Ji said this, several people at the dinner table couldn't help but laugh...... Mu Qiuhuang also smiled very happily, because he felt a kind of warmth in these laughter.
