Chapter 112: Married Life
In the following days, Jiang Ning and Mu Jingzhao got along like this, as calm as an ordinary couple born in the countryside.
Because he rented all the land in his palace to Mu Jingzhao, and his storytelling career was abandoned, Jiang Ning seemed to have nothing to do.
At the beginning, she comforted herself that she had experienced so many ups and downs, and now it was time to rest and recuperate.
So she began to try to enjoy life, eat more and sleep enough every day, and when she was free, she went to the Shuanghua Palace to chat and drink tea with Liu Jinfu.
Such days lasted for a few days, and Jiang Ning did not feel that life was better because of this, but the whole person was empty and weak, and he gained several pounds one after another.
Jiang Ning, who felt that such a day should not continue, found a new pastime for himself.
Mu Jingzhao bent down to plow the land and weed every day, and Jiang Ning squatted on the edge of the vegetable furrow and stared at him idlely.
"No, no, you're pulling the weeds right." Seeing that Mu Jingzhao was about to reach out and pull up a weed, Jiang Ning hurriedly spoke out to stop him, "Look at me, two fingers grasp the part of the root system, and then twist it from side to side twice, and exert force upward, so that the grass can be cut and rooted, and the weeds will not grow back soon, have you learned?" β
Under the scorching sun, Mu Jingzhao's cheeks and forehead glowed red, and the broken hair on his forehead was soaked with sweat and sticky on the top of his head, looking a little embarrassed.
Now that it is summer, the sun is becoming more and more poisonous, and Mu Jingzhao's time to go down to the dynasty is too late, so he has no choice but to farm under the scorching sun every day.
In just a few days, the whole person's skin has been sunburned into a healthy wheat color.
After a long period of exposure to the sun and farming, he sweated like rain, and a few drops of sweat dripped down the edges of his eyelashes, Mu Jingzhao wiped the sweat from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and turned his head to look at Jiang Ning on the side.
"I see that you have nothing to do all day long, so you might as well help me with farming." The prolonged thirst made his voice hoarse, and the rough voice, coupled with the well-defined wheat-colored arms that naturally hung down at his side, added a bit of rough beauty to his whole person.
Originally, Mu Jingzhao specially tried to find a way to separate Zheliu and Li Zinian, and he just wanted to experience the pastoral life of common farming with Jiang Ning.
Unexpectedly, he ended up in a situation where no one helped with the farming, let alone handed him a glass of water.
Jiang Ning squatted under the shade of the tree, wearing a straw hat on her head that she had made out of boredom two days ago, she was fanning the wind with both hands, but there was still a little fine sweat on her forehead.
"You didn't give me any money, why should I help you?" Jiang Ning said it rightly, she glanced at Mu Jingzhao, and her expression was inexplicable.
Mu Jingzhao was inexplicably choked by her words, and his lips spurted for a long time, but he still couldn't say half a sentence.
If he hadn't been accustomed to Jiang Ning talking like this, he would probably have been hurt by this woman's emotionless words and his mood would fall to the bottom.
"If you don't help, don't help, anyway, it's not me who has nothing to do all day and can only watch others pull weeds to pass the time."
Mu Jingzhao glanced at her, and then the thief's lips hooked and smiled, "Let's discuss, otherwise, you return the silver to me, and I will give you the land." β
Jiang Ning was shocked, and hurriedly covered his pocket, looking like he was at home, "Impossible, I can't return a cent of the money that went into my pocket." β
The other party seemed to have expected her to say this, not only did he not mean to be angry, but he shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"Whatever you want, it's not me who is bored every day anyway."
Jiang Ning glared at Mu Jingzhao fiercely, grabbed a piece of soil and threw it towards Mu Jingzhao's leg.
Mu Jingzhao couldn't dodge, and the clod of soil exploded at the leg of his pants in an instant, forming a dirty trace of earth-colored.
Mu Jingzhao frowned, and turned his head to look at Jiang Ning, "This dress of mine was made by dozens of Suzhou ladies who spent full-term effort, if I have the heart to make you pay-"
Seeing that the threat in Mu Jingzhao's words was growing, Jiang Ning casually grabbed a clod of soil and threw it towards his trouser leg again.
The two earth-colored marks on the calves of Mu Jingzhao's trousers complemented each other.
He was annoyed by Jiang Ning's appearance, anyway, he was now farming every day, and his trousers were more or less stained with mud every day, and there was not much difference between one more and one less.
It is impossible for him to really make Jiang Ning lose money because of this matter.
Seeing that Jiang Ning's eyebrows were lowered, his eyes were blank, and his two hands were weakly playing with the soil in his hands, he no longer had the radiant appearance of the past.
He turned his head to look at Jiang Ning and sighed secretly, "Are you really that boring?" β
Jiang Ning nodded like pounding garlic, she understood why the mothers in those palace fighting dramas had to fight to the death, and the world was turned upside down.
Maybe it's not for fame and fortune, it's just that it's too boring and has nothing to do, so find something to pass the time.
Mu Jingzhao tilted his head to look at her, and said with some hesitation, "If you are given a chance to do whatever you want, what do you want to do?" β
Jiang Ning's tone was sincere, "Get rich." β
"Can it be done right away?"
She thought seriously, "Be the emperor." β
The corners of Mu Jingzhao's mouth twitched, "Let's talk about being realistic." β
"Let's go catch rabbits in the mountains."
Mu Jingzhao took a deep breath, "Why catch rabbits." β
"I can't catch anything else."
Mu Jingzhao's eyelids jumped suddenly, "Is there anything else besides catching rabbits?" β
"Climbing trees, fishing."
Mu Jingzhao held his forehead, I don't know if it was because the sun was too scorching, he felt a slight pain in his head.
Jiang Ning didn't seem to feel Mu Jingzhao's pain, she did nothing to stir with the soil on the ground, lamenting in her heart that the soil quality was really not very good, otherwise she could study the pottery burning process, and maybe she could make a fortune again.
Mu Jingzhao rubbed his temples, and after a long time, he slowly spoke to Jiang Ning with a hoarse voice, "It just so happens that this day is getting hotter day by day, let's go hunting in the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing in a few days." β
Jiang Ning nodded slightly, and a little brilliance finally appeared in those tired eyes, "We, me and you, who else?" β
Without waiting for Mu Jingzhao to answer, Jiang Ning asked himself again, "Do you want to be together?" β
Mu Jingzhao felt that his chest was blocked, and he was a little out of breath for a while.
She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then spoke again in a sincere tone, "If you go out hunting, it should be more interesting to wait for Commander Lin to come back, he is so strong in martial arts, he will definitely be able to fight a bunch of prey, hehe, when the time comes, I will be able to take it back and make a handicraft, and then make a lot of moneyββ"
Her expression was intoxicated, and she seemed to see the white silver fall into her pocket.
"What do you think, Emperor, Emperor?" She looked up, but saw that Mu Jingzhao, who was originally weeding, was no longer there.
