Chapter 66: Those Things (3)
As Su Xiaoxiao entered the courtyard where she lived, Mu Qiuhuang found that what she came to was not a courtyard, but a huge zoo.
From the gate of the courtyard, you can see that there are tall sandalwood trees, lush shrubs, and countless other exotic grasses. All the way through the courtyard across the bridge, the fish under the bridge are swimming freely, occasionally turtles show their heads out of the water, and on the other side of the pond there is the sound of cranes chirping...... There are so many precious birds and beasts, and the elk that followed Ji Ruoxue at the beginning was like a king in this animal paradise, leaning up its proud head, walking leisurely in the courtyard, like a king patrolling the territory, and those animals bowed their heads surprisingly when they met this elk.
"Little Flower." Ji Ruoxue called softly.
The elk looked left and right at the sound, and when he had seen where they were, he finished his inspection and ran towards them as fast as he could. After arriving in front of the two, the elk lowered his head affectionately and rubbed on Ji Ruoxue's head, while Mu Qiuhuang beside him was directly ignored by him.
Ji Ruoxue touched its neck and said, "Xiaohua, look who is coming?" ”
"Little flower, long time no see." Mu Qiuhuang greeted warmly, he knew the status of this elk in Ji Ruoxue's heart, so he also deliberately flattered.
Elk Xiaohua didn't want to deal with Mu Qiuhuang, but when she saw her master's grand introduction, she reluctantly turned her head and glanced at Mu Qiuhuang, and then snorted and said hello.
"Okay, Xiaohua, let's go play!" Ji Ruoxue patted the elk's neck.
After the elk glanced at Mu Qiuhuang, he turned around and left, continuing to inspect its territory.
"Why do you feel that Xiaohua just can't get close to you?" Ji Ruoxue couldn't help but wonder.
"Maybe it's because it likes women and doesn't like men to be close?" Mu Qiuhuang laughed, and couldn't help but think that this girl really held a grudge, isn't it just because she intimidated you at the beginning! I can't forget it.
"Nonsense, Xiaohua is a little girl, maybe it's because you are distracted, so it won't be close to you." Ji Ruoxue said casually.
Listening to the word "flower heart", Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, and cautiously peeked at Ji Ruoxue, but found that she was unintentional at all.
The two walked a little further along the path in the courtyard and came to the room.
"Miss, why did you come back?" A little girl asked, and at the same time secretly glanced at Mu Qiuhuang.
"It's nothing, wake up, you can get busy first!" Ji Ruoxue waved her hand and said.
"Yes." The girl who woke her up saluted, then turned away.
"Sit down!" Ji Ruoxue sat on the chair, pointed to the chair next to her, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why haven't I seen you for a day or two, but I feel that you don't seem to be like you anymore?" ”
"Ahh Didn't you? Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but touch his nose, and the innate premonition of a woman in his heart began to be convinced.
"By the way, why is there such a big yard, just that girl?" Mu Qiuhuang sat on the chair and began to divert the topic, he wanted to divert Ji Ruoxue's attention, and at the same time think about how to tell Ji Ruoxue about it.
"Are you waking up?" Ji Ruoxue looked out of the door and explained: "You have also seen that Xiaohua does not allow outsiders to step into its 'territory' at all, of course, I don't like outsiders to step into my yard very much, and Xing'er is different, although she is a maid, but she grew up with me, I have always treated her as a sister, and what is even more powerful is that Xiaohua does not reject her, so my daily life has always been taken care of by her alone......"
"Oh." Mu Qiuhuang nodded, and glanced at Ji Ruoxue with a somewhat evasive look. If he was like sitting on pins and needles when he was sitting in the carriage just now, then sitting in front of Ji Ruoxue at this time, in addition to sitting on pins and needles, it was like a thorn in his back, in a word, it didn't feel very comfortable.
"Cher, I have something to say to you." Finally, Mu Qiuhuang mustered up the courage to speak to Ji Ruoxue.
"What's the matter?" Ji Ruoxue couldn't help but be curious, and then suddenly said, "By the way, I also have something to say to you." ”
"Let's talk first!" Mu Qiuhuang's courage that she had just mustered suddenly disappeared the moment Ji Ruoxue spoke.
"Okay!" Ji Ruoxue looked up at the direction where the girl who woke up had just left, and when she turned around and looked at Mu Qiuhuang again, her face couldn't help but flush a little, and then said in a low voice: "When you and I get married, Xing'er will be a dowry girl, and then you must not treat her badly, she and I are like sisters!" ”
"Huh?" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but open her mouth wide, and looked at Ji Ruoxue in surprise, how could she not have thought that what Ji Ruoxue said would be this?
Ji Ruoxue looked at Mu Qiuhuang, who was stunned, and couldn't help but comfort: "Okay!" I know that you are the only one in your heart, but your identity is also destined that you will not be able to marry me only in the future? What's more, Xing'er was originally meant to be used as a dowry girl, and you can't refuse it at this point......"
Seeing Ji Ruoxue gushing a lot of words to convince herself, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but pat her head, and even pinched herself, he actually had an unreal feeling.
"You mean... Do you want me to marry her together? Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but be confused.
"yes!" Ji Ruoxue looked at Mu Qiuhuang and continued: "Anyway, you won't marry more than one of me in the future, what's wrong with one more awake?" ”
"You... Do you mean to allow me to marry another woman? And marry many? Mu Qiuhuang opened his mouth, a little difficult to describe his mood.
"Think beautifully? Unless with my permission. Ji Ruoxue said seriously: "So far, you are only allowed to marry me and Xing'er, and in the future... You'll have to get me to agree to it first. ”
"Huh?"
Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but be taken aback, he was a little overwhelmed by Ji Ruoxue's words. Before coming here, he had imagined countless results, but he never thought that before he was ready to confess to Ji Ruoxue about his little matter with Su, Ji Ruoxue would take the initiative to find him another woman, and he seemed to be afraid that he would not agree. Moreover, according to her intentions, she can remarry after her consent.
In fact, what Mu Qiuhuang didn't know was that Ji Ruoxue's reactions and thoughts were the most real and in line with the status quo. As Su Xiaoxiao said before, she felt that Mu Qiuhuang's love values transcended the entire era. In this era, not to mention that it is normal for him to have three wives and four concubines of this status, even those businessmen who have a little bit of power and property are very rich, and there is far more than one wife in the family, in addition to the wife, they will have a few more concubines. And although their wives will also compete with the concubines in the house, and sometimes they will burst out of the excitement of the family's fierce women, but outside, among these legitimate ladies, they will even compare their husbands with a few concubines, not only do they feel that there is anything wrong, but they will be proud of their own ability to manage the entire backyard.
And the reason why Mu Qiuhuang came up with this idea that is different and beyond this era is actually directly related to his father Mu Qingen. It is precisely because he has seen it with his own eyes since he was a child, and he has often heard about his father's deep affection for his mother, that he thinks that only love like his father and his mother is true love, and he will feel sorry for Ji Ruoxue because of his little things with Su, and he will feel endless guilt, and even fantasize that Ji Ruoxue will leave her...... However, looking at the whole world, I am afraid that there is only Mu Qingen who can be different from the ordinary with such an identity and status.
In the same way, Ji Ruoxue's growth environment and the education she received since she was a child also determined that she did not have the kind of ideas that transcended the times like Mu Qiuhuang. Far from it, his father didn't marry her mother alone. And although her brother has not yet married, as far as she knows, there is definitely more than one woman raised by his brother outside...... In this era, a woman with a bit of an identity background never cares about whether her husband will marry her alone, but whether she occupies the position of the main wife.
Mu Qiuhuang looked at Ji Ruoxue, and her mood couldn't help but be a little complicated. It stands to reason that Ji Ruoxue should be glad that he has this kind of thought. But I don't know why? He always felt a sense of loss in his heart.
"By the way, what did you just want to tell me?" Ji Ruoxue asked softly.
"Xue'er, I'm ......" Mu Qiuhuang thought about it, and still truthfully told Ji Ruoxue about the little things he and Su.
"Good! You are a big radish, I will say why Xiaohua is not willing to get close to you? So you're like this? Ji Ruoxue screamed, and when she was done, she stepped on Mu Qiuhuang a few times, and then sat there with a face of autumn frost, and the whole atmosphere instantly became cold.
Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but look at Ji Ruoxue with a confused expression, didn't you just say that I can marry a few more in the future? Why are you like this now? However, Ji Ruoxue was so angry with him, he felt down-to-earth in his heart, in his opinion, the more angry Ji Ruoxue was, the more he had him in his heart...... So, he cautiously tried to say, "You weren't ...... just now"
"What I just said is that it can only be done with my permission, did I give you permission to do things with that girl?" Ji Ruoxue couldn't help but ask angrily.
"I'm sorry, I ......" Mu Qiuhuang had to explain.
told Ji Ruoxue truthfully about his acquaintance with Su Xiaoxiao, and later going all the way to Kyoto. After admitting his mistake again and again, and under repeated assurances, the frost on Ji Ruoxue's face gradually disappeared. looked at Mu Qiuhuang, and said in his heart that he was actually no wonder of him, after all, at that time, he was dissatisfied with the marriage contract and wanted to escape from the marriage...... But Ji Ruoxue thought so, but she didn't intend to forgive Mu Qiuhuang so easily, so she deliberately put on a straight face and counted Mu Qiuhuang for a good time.
……
……
Finally, when Ji Ruoxue felt that she was a little too much, she ended her anger at Mu Qiuhuang and said softly, "What time?" Introduce me to that girl. ”
"Cher, you're so nice." Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but feel relieved when she saw that Ji Ruoxue didn't want to break the marriage contract and leave him...... At this moment, he only felt that he was the happiest person in the world.
"Arms outstretched." Ji Ruoxue walked up to him and spoke.
"Oh." Although Mu Qiuhuang didn't know what was going on, he also obediently stretched out his arm.
Ji Ruoxue smiled at him, grabbed his arm and bit him hard.
"Oops!" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but scream, the bite just now was really ruthless.
Ji Ruoxue said viciously: "This is a punishment for you, but next time you dare to mess with flowers and grass behind my back, I will tell my master to ......"
"Don't dare, don't dare, definitely don't dare to ......" Mu Qiuhuang hurriedly patted his chest and reassured, and couldn't help but reach out and want to tentatively hug Ji Ruoxue.
Seeing that Ji Ruoxue did not avoid his embrace, Mu Qiuhuang completely put his heart back into his stomach, and couldn't help but feel extremely happy in his heart......
At this moment, who knew that the awake man suddenly ran in and reported: "Miss, it's almost time to apprentice, the young master asked me to come over and urge you." ”
"Oh, I'll go right away." Ji Ruoxue broke into Mu Qiuhuang's arms, and her face showed a little flustered and shy.
Seeing this, Mu Qiuhuang felt a little funny, thinking that just now you were still persuading yourself to marry both of you, but why are you so shy at this point?
As Ji Ruoxue walked out of the door, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but glance back at this girl called Xing'er, after all, she was going to marry in the future, he still thought it was good to take a look first......
Xing'er looked at the backs of the two of them leaving, and couldn't help touching his already hot cheeks, and whispered, "So this is my uncle?" ”
