Chapter 42: Tell You a Story in the Moonlight

Although Ji Yan still wanted to fight for the happiness of his sister's marriage, looking at the situation in front of him, he also knew that he was willing but powerless, so he had to bow down and retire...... When he walked to the door of the study, Ji Yan glanced back at his father~ Ji Yuan, and finally sighed helplessly and left abruptly.

……

Ji Yan recalled the conversation between father and son just now as she walked, I don't know why? Ji Yan suddenly felt that the majestic figure of his father who could shelter himself and his sister from the wind and rain in his mind suddenly became a little blurred...... After walking some distance, he glanced back at the study, and then shook his head vigorously, as if trying to shake out all the nonsense that had just risen in his mind. After thinking about it just now, Ji Yan had to admit that if he were put in his father's shoes, he would make the same decision. He felt uncomfortable because the man was his own sister, but in the same way, he believed that his father must not have felt good in his heart, and he knew how much his father loved him as a sister...... However, for the sake of the future of the entire Xiliehou Mansion, his father was unwilling to do it.

Ji Yan still has an apology for his little sister Ji Ruoxue in his heart at this moment, because this marriage is more for the future of Xiliehou Mansion, and Xiliehou Mansion will be his in the future...... Ji Yan didn't know at the moment that his little sister was already fighting with the Mu Qiuhuang in the marriage contract, and he didn't know that her little sister already had an invincible master in the world, if his little sister was unwilling, then no one could force his little sister. However, in his heart, his impression of Mu Qiuhuang is not bad, and from the analysis of the data of the children of the major princes he has collected, if he asks him to choose his future brother-in-law, among the children of the princes, only Mu Qiuhuang can enter his eyes and match his little sister. It's just that this is just his opinion after all, after all, it involves his little sister's lifelong happiness, so he still hopes to respect his little sister's heart and find someone she really likes.

To tell the truth, Ji Yan's thoughts are very complicated, standing in the position of the son of Xilie and the future ruler of Qinlu Land, he should resolutely uphold and fulfill his father's decision, only sacrificing the happiness of her little sister's marriage contract, you can exchange Xilie for the world, no matter how you look at it, this matter is cost-effective, not to mention that he also agrees with Mu Qiuhuang. But when he thought that his marriage was not for his own reasons, and he was willing to sacrifice his marriage for the better development of the Xilie Marquis Mansion, he put all the freedom of his desire for love in his heart on his little sister Ji Ruoxue, hoping that his little sister could uphold her own heart in marriage.

……

In the end, Ji Yan stopped, sighed, looked around at the night in the dark, and said to herself: "Little sister, if you complain, blame yourself for your identity!" Big brother can't help you anymore......"

——————————————————————————————

Ji Ruoxue didn't know at this time that the eldest brother, who had respected his father well since he was a child and had the same heart as his father, would guess his true thoughts because of his run away from home, and he could also have a "dispute" with his father for him, although the final result was a bit unsatisfactory...... But if she knew, she would be happy to have such a brother for him!

However, Ji Ruoxue already felt happiness at this moment, and she was enjoying her own happiness to the fullest.

……

The night in the late autumn wilderness had a hint of chill, but the man and woman in the wilderness did not feel the cold at all, but had a trace of heat in their bodies. When the moonlight sprinkled on the ground, it drove away the boundless darkness, making the whole earth seem to be covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and under the moonlight, two shadows were tightly attached to each other, and a bonfire was burning in front of the shadows, and a little farther away, there was a horse and an elk munching on the grass...... If you zoom in closer, I saw Ji Ruoxue snuggling up to Mu Qiuhuang's body, pointing to the full moon in the sky and saying something? In the distance, the trickling of streams, the occasional snorting of horses, the occasional neighing of elk, the crackling of fires, all kinds of sounds are superimposed, some innumerable joy and indescribable tenderness.

……

"What do you think will be on the moon?" Ji Ruoxue pointed to the bright moon in the sky and asked Mu Qiuhuang.

"This ...... I really don't know. Mu Qiuhuang thought for a while, and added: "However, if you really want to know, when you return to Beiyu in the future, I will help you ask the stargazers in the Hou Mansion, they have studied the heavens all their lives, and they should know what will be on the moon, right?" ”

"Huh?"

Ji Ruoxue turned around when she heard this, glanced at Mu Qiuhuang, and said angrily: "You! It's stupid. ”

Mu Qiuhuang scratched his head innocently and explained, "I really don't know this......"

"Stupid." Ji Ruoxue repeated these three words again, but looking at Mu Qiuhuang with a blank face, she finally smiled and said, "I really don't understand how you are so stupid and how you made Miss Ben fall in love at first sight?" ”

"Hehe...... Mu Qiuhuang smiled and said quite proudly: "That's because love has its own providence!" Since God has decided to give us two this marriage, then, unless we have never met in our lives, once we meet, we will not be controlled by you and me. But... Then again, since God has already arranged everything, then, you and I will meet no matter what......"

"Phew!" Ji Ruoxue took a sip lightly, and said with a smile on the corner of her lips: "You! You! Sometimes it looks stupid like a pig, and sometimes it becomes extremely flamboyant. ”

"How can I have a flamboyant tongue?" Mu Qiuhuang defended himself: "What I said is the truth, and there is... Why am I stupid like a pig? ”

When Ji Ruoxue heard this, she smiled slightly, looked at Mu Qiuhuang and said, "You don't even know what's on the moon, aren't you still a pig?" Hee-hee......"

When Mu Qiuhuang heard this, he couldn't help but scratch the back of his head with some embarrassment, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Then what do you say is on the moon?" ”

Ji Ruoxue smiled slyly and said, "Then I told you, you have to remember it well, but... You are not allowed to say these things to other little girls. ”

"Huh?" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but be a little confused, and said stupidly: "...... After we get married, we will be together every day, and even if we talk in the future, we will only talk to you. ”

"Slightly ......" Ji Ruoxue pulled her eyes and said in a coquettish voice: "Who said that I want to marry you?" I'm not ashamed. ”

"So you don't want to!" Mu Qiuhuang pretended to sigh and said: "It seems that the two of us are destined, since you are not willing to marry me, then I have to go to your Xiliehou Mansion to dissolve the marriage contract this time according to your master's request......"

"Good! All right! Hurry up and break the engagement! Ji Ruoxue laughed, unashamed of this.

When Mu Qiuhuang saw Ji Ruoxue's expression, she couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly said: "I'll tease you, I won't break the marriage contract!" I'm going to propose marriage, and I'm going to marry you back to Beiyu as soon as possible......"

"Giggle......" Ji Ruoxue couldn't help but close her mouth happily when she saw his posture.

"Okay, you're deliberately teasing me?"

"Who told you to deliberately tease me first? You call lifting a stone and shooting yourself in the foot......" Ji Ruoxue laughed.

"That's it! All right! Count me wrong...... Mu Qiuhuang pretended to be helpless and said: "I can't fight you every time, it seems... This life is destined to be eaten by you. ”

"Haha...... It's good to know. Ji Ruoxue said triumphantly.

"That's right... You haven't told me what's on the moon? Mu Qiuhuang asked curiously.

Ji Ruoxue cleared her throat and said, "Since you are so curious, then I will tell you!" In fact, there is a moon palace, a laurel tree, a fairy and a jade rabbit before the moon. ”

"Really? I've never heard of this. Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but wonder.

"Of course you haven't heard of it, it's actually a sad story." Ji Ruoxue said slowly: "According to legend, there was a hero named Hou Yi for a long time, and he married a very beautiful and kind wife named Chang Gu. The two of them have always been very affectionate, and one day, when Hou Yi went to Kunlun Mountain to visit friends and seek Taoism, he happened to meet the queen mother who passed by, so he asked the queen mother for an elixir. It is said that if you take this elixir, you will be able to ascend to heaven and become an immortal immediately. However, Hou Yi was reluctant to leave his wife, so he handed over the immortal medicine to his wife for safekeeping. But this matter was known to a man named Grasshopper. Later, one day, when Hou Yi was not at home, Grasshopper went to threaten Chang Gu to hand over the elixir, and Chang Gu swallowed it himself in order not to be snatched away. Who knew that the moment Chang Gu swallowed the elixir, his entire body immediately floated off the ground and flew straight into the sky, she flew and flew, and when she forgot how long she had been flying, she finally stopped, and the place where she stopped was on the moon...... And later, because she missed her husband, she began to pound medicine on the moon, and she wanted to make another elixir for her husband, so that her husband could fly to the moon palace like her, but, later, she pounded and pounded, pounded and pounded, but never thought that the elixir was not pounded out, but instead became a little rabbit who only knew how to pound medicine......"

"Isn't it pitiful that Chang Gu and his husband are separated from each other?" As the story ended, Ji Ruoxue's mood also became depressed.

After Mu Qiuhuang felt the change in her mood, she comforted softly: "This is just a mythical story, it can't be really ......."

"Then if one day, we don't see each other again, will you miss me?" Ji Ruoxue raised her head and looked at Mu Qiuhuang's eyes, and suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then hugged Ji Ruoxue tightly and said, "No, I will never allow this kind of thing to happen......"

"Hehe......" After Ji Ruoxue felt Mu Qiuhuang's strong arms, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
