Chapter 319: Forty-one before marrying
"And what about when I'm old? The face is not there, the face is full of wrinkles, will you dislike me at that time? Mo Li raised her head and asked uncertainly.
"No matter what you become, I won't dislike it. I'm nine years older than you, and before you get old, I'm already too old, so don't dislike me when the time comes. Murong Chu kissed her lightly on the forehead.
"I won't dislike you either." Mo Li couldn't help but laugh out loud when she thought of Murong Chu's white hair, wrinkled face, and a cane.
Murong Chu frowned slightly: "What are you laughing at?" β
"I was thinking that one day in the future, you will have a wrinkled face and a cane, a mouth with a few teeth in it." The more Mo Li thought about it, the more interesting she felt, and her shoulders kept shaking.
"The lady is laughing at her husband, she should be punished ......" Murong Chu couldn't help but say, lowered his head and kissed it.
The two pieces of softness covered it, and Mo Li writhed a few times before he stopped struggling. The slanting sunlight shines through the window lattice on a pair of hugging figures, and the warmth dilutes the cold of winter, making the whole room filled with the breath of spring.
β¦β¦
The days are passing day by day, and the new year is coming in a blink of an eye, and the capital is becoming more and more lively, whether it is the nobles and rich armor or the common people are busy preparing for the New Year.
Mo Li, who was trapped in Moyuan Pavilion all day, couldn't sit still, since she found out that she was pregnant, Murong Chu didn't let her go out, the last time she went out was when she entered the palace at the beginning of the month, and it has been almost twenty days now.
During this period, except for my sister-in-law Duan, who came to visit once at the beginning of the month, everyone else was ruthlessly blocked back. Sun Xiaoxue sent someone to send a few posts, but Mo Li refused because he was busy with affairs. It's not that she doesn't want to see Xiaoxiao, but she also knows that she is in an extraordinary period, so it's better to be careful.
Now that she is three months pregnant, she is past the dangerous period, and Mo Li's mind has begun to live. On this day, Sun Xiaoxue sent someone to send a post again, wanting to ask her to go shopping on Dongshi Street together. Mo Li said that Murong Chu agreed to let her go to the appointment.
Mo Lisi went out at the moment, and the carriage went all the way to Dongshi Street. At three o'clock, she arrived at a teahouse on Dongshi Street, and Ruoping helped her get out of the carriage.
When I entered the teahouse, I explained to the guy that I was here to find Miss Sun. The guy said enthusiastically: "Is it Mrs. Murong?" Miss Sun is in the private room upstairs, and Madame, please come with the little one. β
As soon as I went up to the second floor, a few people walked by at the end of the hallway. Originally, Mo Li didn't pay much attention, and was led to the door of the second private room by the guy, and didn't wait to enter, but heard a soft call: "Cousin! β
Mo Li stopped, only to see that it was Mo Jinning and a middle-aged man who came over, followed by the maid and the maid.
Looking at each other, Mo Li lightly hooked the corners of his lips: "Jinning, why are you here?" β
I haven't seen it for a long time, Mo Jinning seems to have lost some weight, her originally round cheeks are now small, and her chin has become pointy. But the dress is much better than before. The fine brocade moire dress is covered with a goose-yellow fox fur cloak, and the head is even more beaded and jade, in contrast, Mo Li looks much more plain.
"I came to tea with Master Ji, and I didn't want to have urgent business in the yamen for Lord Ji to deal with. I was also about to go back, but I happened to run into my cousin. Mo Jinning said, glancing at the man beside him with affection in his eyes.
When Lord Ji heard this, he gave a deep salute: "It turned out to be my cousin, Yuqing is polite." β
Being called cousin by a man who looked to be at least forty years old, Mo Li felt a chill, glanced at Mo Jinning and asked, "Who is this ......?" β
Mo Jinning helped the golden hairpin on his head, and said with a smile: "Look at me, I forgot to introduce it to my cousin." This is Lord Shiji, the Imperial Emperor of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, and it's me...... The future husband. β
Mo Lizhi felt a flock of crows flying overhead, the future husband? looks like it's almost catching up with Mo Jinning's father's age.
Thinking so in his heart, his face still bowed slightly: "Since Master Ji has official business, please do it." β
"Sister Xi'er, why haven't you come in yet?" Sun Xiaoxue in the private room heard Mo Li's voice, opened the door, and was slightly stunned when she saw Mo Jinning outside the door.
"Yo, Xiaoxue is also there! What a coincidence today. Mo Jinning's face was full of surprise, and he turned his head to Ji Yuqing and said, "Master Ji, this is Miss Nine from Qingyuan Houfu, and she is my cousin's fiancΓ©e. β
"It turned out to be Miss Sun Jiu, who has been famous for a long time." Ji Yuqing gave another salute, Sun Xiaoxue was a lady after all, and hurriedly blessed her body as a gift.
"Master Ji, my cousin and I haven't seen each other for a few days, and I thought that I would visit the Bac Ninh Royal Mansion in the past few days, but I happened to meet it today." Mo Jinning affectionately took Mo Li's arm, as if the two were sisters.
Ji Yuqing nodded and smiled: "I often hear Miss Jinning mention Mrs. Murong, it seems that Miss Jinning and Mrs. Jinning are really very affectionate. β
Mo Li coughed lightly: "Doesn't Lord Ji still have official business, we won't delay your time." β
"yes, Yuqing." Mo Jinning suddenly changed her affectionate title, "You go get busy first, you don't have to send me." I'll just go back by myself in a moment. β
"It's okay, then I'll leave now, and I'll visit General Murong and Mrs. Murong with Miss Jinning another day." Ji Yuqing shook his head, and then said to Mo Jinning, "I'll go back to the yamen first, although you sisters are reminiscing, I'll ask the coachman to come and pick you up when I go back." β
"That's fine." Mo Jinning nodded, turned around and instructed the maid, "Ning'er, send Master Ji for Miss Ben." β
"Yes, miss." The little maid who was called Ning'er lowered her head and followed Ji Yuqing and the little maid downstairs.
Seeing a few people leave, before Mo Li and Sun Xiaoxue could speak, Mo Jinning said, "Let's stop standing here, let's go in and sit." β
Helplessly, the three of them entered the private room, Mo Jinning glanced at the refreshments on the table, and ordered a pot of tea and a few snacks for the main guest.
After the guy went out, Sun Xiaoxue looked at Mo Jinning and asked, "That person was your fiancΓ© just now?" β
"Yes, he is the imperial history of the Imperial Palace, we just got married at the beginning of the month, and we haven't had time to tell our relatives yet." Mo Jinning held a handkerchief and covered her lips and smiled, her eyebrows and eyes full of pride.
He ...... How old is it? As soon as Sun Xiaoxue spoke, Mo Jinning's face changed slightly, and instantly returned to normal: "But just forty one." But now it is already the official position of Zhengsipin, and the future is limitless. β
"Forty-one before marrying?" Sun Xiaoxue is a straight person, and she asks whatever comes to mind. Besides, her impression of Mo Jinning was not very good, and she would not care about her feelings.
Mo Jinning's face sank slightly: "What do you mean by this?" What about being older? It's better than those insignificant hairy boys, right? β
The implication is that Mo Jinyu, whom Sun Xiaoxue wants to marry, is just a small captain, and her husband is already a fourth-grade member. I completely forgot that there was also the wife of a general of Yipin Town.
