Chapter 16: Uncle Jiang's Request
"Uncle Jiang!" the two shouted in unison.
The old man smiled and nodded at them, but he didn't see any movement, and in the next moment, the person had reached the edge of the stream.
"Little master, Miss Yan, the identity and cultivation of the old slave are more suitable for this, or let the old slave help the son wash the marrow, you can go to the other side of the hillside to rest, and after the son washes the marrow, the old slave will join you again. β
It was very appropriate for Uncle Jiang to do this, Yan'er and Xiao Hatfeng agreed and left the place happily.
At this moment, Mu Jinyun Yiran was delirious, and he had no perception of what was happening around him, he only knew that the pain of washing the marrow was really fucking, not only did he have diarrhea, but his whole body hurt everywhere.
The feeling of pain to the soul is really uncomfortable, I once said that the skin is cramped, the taste at this time, although it is not skin cramps, but it is not the same.
Fortunately, he was soaked in running water, otherwise he must have been lying in the dirt, and the disgusting alone would have disgusted him to death.
This is thanks to Xiao Hatfeng's reminder, but Mu Jinyun always feels that he seems to have fallen into the evil role of a little rabbit cub again.
He was repeatedly struggling with a question, is there a connection between washing the marrow and diarrhea? There may or may not be, forget it, whether he has it or not, he will never spare Xiao Hatfeng.
I don't know how long the chaos lasted, but during this period, he seemed to feel that someone was constantly giving him massage, so that the eight veins of the strange meridians on his body gradually became smooth.
When he came to his senses, he found the man lying on the bank of the stream, and his clothes were on.
Mu Jinyun turned over and sat up, looking down, this outfit was an adult version, and the only drawback was that it was black, not his favorite color.
"Childe woke up. An old voice rang in his ears.
Mu Jinyun followed the voice and looked over and saw that it was an old man in Xuanyi, with his hands behind his back, looking at him with a smile.
"Who are you?"
"The old man is the house slave of the eldest princess, surnamed Jiang, and the people in the house respect me and call me Uncle Jiang. The old man replied proudly.
"It turned out to be Uncle Jiang. Mu Jinyun wanted to stand up and salute, but his body was weak, and he struggled a few times, but he still gave up.
"Childe's body is weak after washing the marrow, and he needs to recuperate for a period of time to recover, the old man has a bottle of pills, Childe takes one pill in the morning and evening, and he can move freely after seven days. β
Uncle Jiang handed over a bottle of elixir, and Mu Jinyun took it in his hand, "Thank you Uncle Jiang for the gift." β
Speaking of this, he looked left and right, and found that there was only one old man, so he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Uncle Jiang, where did Yan'er and Xiao Hatfeng go?"
"They are all on the other side of the hillside, the son was naked when he washed the marrow, and it was inconvenient for the little lord and Miss Yan to stay here, it was the old man who helped the son wash the marrow. β
It turned out that Uncle Jiang helped him, and Xiaosheng was grateful. Mu Jinyun sat on the ground and hugged his fist at the old man.
"Childe is polite, the old man is the house slave of the young lady, and it is natural to help Childe, and Childe does not have to worry about it. β
The two of them exchanged a few words of greeting, and Mu Jinyun always felt that this old man seemed to have something to say, and his expression was quite hesitant, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Uncle Jiang, do you have something you want to tell me?" asked Mu Jinyun.
Uncle Jiang smiled unnaturally, and refused to say it clearly, Mu Jinyun strengthened his judgment, this old man must be hiding something.
"Uncle Jiang, I've always liked to go straight and don't like to go around the bend, if you have anything to say, you can tell me straight to my face, you don't have to hide. β
Uncle Jiang hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Okay, since the son said so, the old man will be blunt." β
Mu Jinyun didn't speak, just nodded at him.
"Childe, the old man wants to ask you for something, and I hope that Childe will fulfill it!"
Mu Jinyun felt a little incomprehensible, what did the old man want to say, what else did he need to fulfill, but he still responded politely: "Uncle Jiang is polite, you can say it!"
Uncle Jiang turned his head and glanced at the side of the hill, and saw that Yan'er and the others had not come, so he lowered his voice and said: "Son, the old man will tell the truth, you have been away for a long time, and the young lady once made a decision and promised a marriage."
Now that you are back, this marriage may be yellow, and the old man wants to ask the son for permission, don't ruin this family business, and hope that the son will be fulfilled. β
Mu Jinyun's eyes lit up, and he responded without hesitation: "No problem, I agree! Since your young lady has already chosen another son-in-law, I will definitely send my blessings, I don't need me to fulfill this matter, Uncle Jiang rest assured, I have no opinion on this." β
His words really startled Uncle Jiang, who hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously to Mu Jinyun.
"Childe is cautious, how dare the old slave talk about the marriage of the young lady, you must not say that, for the old slave, this is the sin of killing the soul and destroying the soul!"
"Why, it's not your young lady who chooses another son-in-law, whose marriage is it, Uncle Jiang, can you make it clearer. β
Uncle Jiang couldn't cry or laugh, and waved his hand at Mu Jinyun again and again, "Childe misunderstood, this matter has nothing to do with my young lady, Childe and Miss have made an eternal marriage contract, how can Miss choose someone else, Childe smiled, smiled." β
Damn, this white daughter-in-law can't get rid of it, and Mu Jinyun's heart is very depressed.
I thought that she couldn't bear the loneliness and wanted to marry someone else, but she didn't expect that people were waiting for him with all their hearts, so it seems that the day when the quilt Ziyan dismantles is just around the corner.
Who the hell is this girl, why do you have to hang yourself under my crooked neck tree, could it be that there are a lot of hanging points on this broken tree, brother?
"It turns out that I misunderstood, so whose marriage does Uncle Jiang want me to fulfill?"
"Please forgive the son, it was the old slave's inappropriate words that caused the son to have a misunderstanding, the son, what the old slave wanted to say was Miss Yan's marriage. β
Mu Jinyun frowned slightly, this old man was condescending, and his personality really made him dislike.
At the beginning, he was first a senior, and then an old man's score, obviously he didn't take himself, a mortal with no power, no power, and no cultivation, in his eyes.
When it came to the eldest princess, the old man remembered that the one sitting was the fiancΓ© of the young lady, and he could not afford to offend a slave, and his attitude immediately became respectful.
Mu Jinyun hates such people, and feels that this kind of person is somewhat snobbish, and it is difficult to have sincere fellowship with him.
"Who is Miss Yan? Oh, could it be Yan'er?"
"Exactly, what the old slave said is Miss Yan'er, Childe, Miss once made the decision, and married Miss Yan to the dog, and now that Childe has returned, I'm afraid this marriage will..."
The meaning of the old man's words, Mu Jinyun didn't understand, Yan'er would marry if she wanted to marry, and it wasn't his daughter-in-law who wanted to remarry, and it had something to do with whether he could come back or not.
"Uncle Jiang, the more I listen, the more confused I become, does this matter have anything to do with me, since your young lady has already made the decision, so be it, why do you ask me to fulfill it?"
"It has something to do with Childe. Uncle Jiang explained with some embarrassment, "Childe, Miss Yan is Miss's personal attendant, and she is a woman of the royal family. This marriage needs to be approved by the son, otherwise, our Jiang family will never dare to marry Miss Yan. β
I understand, I understand everything, after all, Brother Mu is a college graduate, and he still knows some about ancient and modern Chinese and foreign history, and when Uncle Jiang said a few words, he will know what he means.
Yan'er is a woman of the royal family, the personal maid of the white daughter-in-law, to put it bluntly, it is his maid who is his maid, and she is his woman.
He didn't return for a long time, Xiao Xiangyi made the decision in private, and promised Yan'er to Uncle Jiang's son as his wife, there was no problem with such an arrangement, who made him always faceless.
Now that he is back, this matter needs to be renegotiated, after all, in name, it is a woman who belongs to him, and without his consent, this marriage will definitely be in vain.
After some pretentiousness, this old man turned out to be the idea, which was to ask him for his woman in front of him.
Mu Jinyun felt unhappy, very unhappy, not only suddenly a sense of humiliation, but also for Yan'er.
He is not a man of this world, and from birth to growth, he follows the rules of the mortal world.
In today's era, women in the mortal world are members of society with independent personalities, and theoretically speaking, everything is up to them.
Sending a woman around as a gift does exist, but it is rare in modern times, at least on the bright side, it is rare to see it.
"Old Jiang, I can't agree to this matter. Mu Jinyun said coldly, because he didn't like it in his heart, this Uncle Jiang was demoted to Lao Jiang.
Uncle Jiang looked stunned and sighed in disappointment.
Mu Jinyun said calmly: "I'm afraid you don't know me very well, no matter what kind of person I was in my previous life, I have my own principles of doing things in this life.
I Mu Jinyun has two refusals, the first will not give up my life, except for my loved ones, I can't do anything to sacrifice my life for righteousness, I can save everyone without hesitation, but I will never sacrifice for others, I don't care what the world thinks of me, in short, I can't do it.
Second, I will not let a woman, as long as it is my woman, even if I don't like her and don't love her, I will not give her as a gift to others, begging me to give away a woman, which is not only an insult to me, but also an insult to that woman. β
Uncle Jiang sighed in frustration, "The old slave understood, it was the old slave who was abrupt, and asked the son to punish him." β
Mu Jinyun shook his head, "Don't be in a hurry to apologize, I haven't finished yet." β
Facing Uncle Jiang's gaze, Mu Jinyun smiled and said: "I respect all women, I have always believed that a woman's marriage should be decided by herself. So if others beg me, I will definitely not agree, and if Yan'er begs me, I will definitely not stop it. β
Uncle Jiang's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on the old face, "What does Childe mean?"
Mu Jinyun nodded, "It's very simple, if Miss Yan'er agrees to this family matter, of course I won't have an opinion, her happiness is controlled by her, and her marriage is up to her." β
"The old slave understands, the old slave will find an opportunity to ask Miss Yan's attitude, my son and Miss Yan are childhood sweethearts, Miss Yan will definitely agree. β
"That's the best, you let her tell me personally, don't worry, I will definitely fulfill them. β
Uncle Jiang had a matter on his mind, and his mood suddenly improved, but Mu Jinyun didn't like this person and didn't bother to deal with him more.
"Lao Jiang, call them over, shouldn't we leave? β
