At the beginning, Su Qingluan actually didn't have the naïve idea of "being able to find a heart-to-heart partner to spend his life in an era far away from his own growth".

Her idea is very simple, that is, to find a tool person to live with a partner.

This person doesn't need to be very capable, as long as he is worry-free enough to be able to live in peace - although she later thought about it, isn't her idea a sexually converted version of "virtuous patronage, filial piety to parents, and stable work"?

However, thinking that his ability to make money must be higher than that of most ordinary people, Su Qingluan felt that it was not too much of a problem for the female protagonist to be outside the male protagonist.

But before the blind date, she was still too optimistic, to be precise, although intellectually speaking, Su Qingluan understands that marriage in this era and modern times are definitely not the same concept, but before she really comes into contact with the "man of the right age", it is still difficult for her thinking to get rid of the inertia of modern people.

For example, she will subconsciously think that marriage is first and foremost a matter of two people, and this idea and concept is not applicable in this era.

In Su Qingluan's previous life, once a husband and wife got married, it was normal for two people to move out of their respective families and buy a house and renovate in a third place to form a new small family.

Not to mention that they are not in the same community as their parents, even if they are not in the same city or even in the same country with both parents, there are many people, and it is not unusual.

However, in this era, "marriage" is not first of all "the connection between two people", but the "cooperation" of two families, and the so-called "good of two surnames" is like this. In this word, the most important thing is not the "two people" but the "surnames" of both parties, that is, the families represented behind the two people.

Small families naturally do not have an intertwined relationship network of big families, but clans are also prevalent in small villages, and even sometimes if there is a feud between two clans or villages, it is forbidden for these two families to intermarry.

In this social context, the two newcomers are more like a "part of the connector" issued by the two families, responsible for connecting the two families, and the attributes of "tools" are greater than the attributes of "people".

Mu Xingzhi heard Su Qingluan say this, and smiled slightly: "In this case, I have a proposal, Qingluan might as well consider one or two?" ”

When Su Qingluan heard the man say this, his attention was drawn from the storm in his brain: "What advice?" ”

"What if you marry me?" Mu Xingzhi looked at Su Qingluan and restrained his casual smile, which made his expression look a little solemn.

After two years of getting along, Su Qingluan understood that when Mu Xingzhi restrained his smile, in addition to indicating the seriousness of the situation, it meant that he was not joking, but seriously discussing something with her. So this "marry me" proposal is not that the other party is making fun of her.

Su Qingluan was stunned at first, she was not narcissistic enough to feel that Mu Xingzhi suddenly fell in love with her as a yellow-haired girl—at least in appearance, a fifteen-year-old girl was a yellow-haired girl. But obviously, the other side is not a joke, and judging by the tone, it is likely that this is a suggestion that the other party has thought about for a long time.

To confirm this speculation, Su Qingluan asked, "How long have you been thinking about this 'proposal'?" ”

"It's been a while." It was probably when he felt it was almost time to leave for the capital.

Su Qingluan nodded to show that he understood: Mu Xingzhi's "for a while" can basically be roughly equivalent to the meaning of "I have been thinking about it for a long time".

Knowing that the other party was not on a whim, Su Qingluan eliminated all kinds of unreliable conjectures from his mind one by one, thought more carefully for a moment, and thought of a possibility: "You mean, suggesting that I marry 'Mu Xingzhi'?" ”

The man opposite showed a slight smile: "Qingluan is a smart person. ”

She guessed right.

Although Su Qingluan has always called the person opposite "Mu Xingzhi", it means that both Su Qingluan and the person opposite understand that this name, as well as the current identity of this "poor scholar cultivating in a remote mountain village", are fake.

Mu Xingzhi's opinion is not to let Su Qingluan really marry him, but to marry the identity of "Mu Xingzhi".

Of course, Su Qingluan is confident that although the identity of "Mu Xingzhi" is fake, the identity certificate of "Mu Xingzhi" must be the same, otherwise he will definitely not be able to stay in peace and security for more than ten years in this kind of small village where almost all the villagers have a little kinship.

Compared with the "proposal scene" that was surprising and even terrifying for a moment just now, when she knew that the man opposite was just having another "cooperative transaction" with her, Su Qingluan didn't know why, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief—both physically and psychologically.

"According to the past practice, the price must be set before cooperation." Since it is cooperation, it is business, perhaps because he has been walking in this world as a "businessman" since he crossed over, Su Qingluan is now speaking more and more "businessmanly".

However, she really liked this way of talking in person. Even if Su Qingluan admits that Mu Xingzhi is a very good friend, she herself admires the other party's ability, but since it is a business, she still can't do anything to lose money.

Mu Xingzhi was also obviously accustomed to Su Qingluan's way of "talking about business", so he nodded: "Considering that the time span of this 'cooperation' is very long, and I can't determine a clear deadline, I can't give a date for the 'contract termination' for the time being." ”

Ugly words come first, this is the way the two have always talked about things - if there are any potential risks, they must declare in advance, otherwise they will not have to cooperate next time.

Su Qingluan thought for a while and nodded: "However, the deadline can not be known, but there must also be a clear sign, right?" For example, after you have achieved something, 'Mu Xingzhi' will receive a boxed lunch. ”

"Get a boxed lunch?" Mu Xingzhi raised his eyebrows: Another word he hadn't heard before.

Su Qingluan pursed her lips: Is she a little floating, knowing that the other party has understood that there are some problems with her origin, but obviously she will not pursue it, but instead adopts a "laissez-faire" attitude, Su Qingluan is here in Mu Xingzhi, especially now when the two of them get along alone, they will be more and more self-free, and there is nothing too strict about the door, and the idioms of the previous life will collapse one after another.

Silently let himself grow a little longer, Su Qingluan explained: "That's it...... It means to disappear from this world. Su Qingluan originally wanted to explain, but when he thought that the origin of the word "box lunch" was related to the film and television crew in his previous life, it would trigger a lot of explanations, so he could only give up.

"'Mu Xingzhi' disappeared from the world?" Mu Xingzhi raised his eyebrows, "Why?" ”
