The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 791 Episode [-]: We are not suitable

When Juelin returned to the room, Mu Jinxi didn't notice anything wrong with him at first, because she was still thinking about Xu Morou, when she heard the footsteps, she just looked up at him, and then said that you didn't pay attention when you came back him.I don't know how long it took for Xu Morou's incident, she had an idea in her mind before she came to her senses and realized something was wrong.

Hey, it seems that Jue Lin hasn't spoken since he came back... She thought he was thinking about something like her, but who knew that when she turned her head and looked at him, she couldn't help but be stunned All of a sudden, the neck is cold.

"Ahem, Jue Lin, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like this, it's so scary." I was almost frightened by him.

Jue Lin didn't say a word, just stared at her.

Mu Jinxi secretly wondered what stimulated him.I haven't done anything recently, I'm fine this morning, why do I look like a different person now that I came back from the study?

"Juelin? Are you alright?" Mu Jinxi stood up, walked towards him, stretched out her hand and stroked in front of him, but he grabbed one of her hands violently, and then pulled her away , she fell unsteadily and sat on his lap.

"Juelin, what are you doing!" She pushed him and stared at him.

"Are you hiding something from me?"

Mu Jinxi frowned and thought for a while, but she just didn't remember that she had something to hide from him, "No, I have nothing to hide from you. If you have something to say, just say it, don't be weird here."

Jue Lin's complexion suddenly darkened, "I am yin and yang? You are hiding such a big matter from me, and you don't reflect on it, but instead say that I am yin and yang?"

It was only then that Mu Jinxi realized that Juelin was angry, really angry, not just kidding.

But after she understood it, she was even more puzzled, okay, why is he angry with her.

She struggled to get off his legs, stood in front of him with her hands on her hips, and looked at him with a ferocious expression, "Juelin, if you have anything to do, just tell me, don't go around in circles. I really don't know I'm hiding something from you. We are husband and wife, if you hold your breath and don't say it, it will only affect the relationship between us!"

If she said that usually, Juelin would have given in immediately, but this time, she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart. In short, she was angry and panicked. These two emotions were fermenting in his heart, which almost made him lose his mind.Now there is only one instinctive thought, that is not to let Jin'er go to sea with the caravan no matter what!

Jue Lin felt that the most important thing for him at this time was to calm down, but he couldn't help but wanted to ask what was going on, whether Jin'er really planned to go to sea with the caravan.He knew that he was emotionally unstable now, and what he said might hurt Jin'er, or affect the relationship between the two couples.So he just pursed his lips tightly and didn't speak, his complexion was so gloomy.

Seeing him like this, Mu Jinxi couldn't help but feel angry, and just wanted to leave with Buddha's sleeves, feeling that Juelin's temper was really something she couldn't get used to.If you have something to say, just say it, so that it can be resolved. What is he trying to do with this face if he doesn't say anything?Cold War?Well, if he wants to fight coldly, she will accompany him at any time.However, the anger in her heart just rose, and she was ready to ignore Jue Lin, and then she thought that he went to the study today to meet Brother Mu...

Could it be that Brother Mu said something that made him like this?

At this time, Mu Jinxi really wished she had a mobile phone, so that she could immediately call Brother Mu and ask him what he said to Jue Lin. Turning a good person into this is not to destroy the relationship between their husband and wife ?
Thinking of this, the anger that just came out of her immediately dissipated, her eyes rolled, and she glanced at the dark-faced Jue Lin from the corner of her eyes.Looking at it this way, I suddenly saw something. Why does this person seem a little wronged?It's weird, could it be that she really did something wrong?Could it be that after being pregnant for three years, she even forgot what wrong she did?
The two were in a stalemate, and Jue Lin frowned into a mountain peak, hesitating whether he should give her some hints.

At this time, Mu Jinxi turned around and sat on another chair, covering her face and sobbing sadly.

"Okay, Juelin, hello, how long have we been married, and you have treated me like this. Before you took me out to relax and said that you would always love and love me, who knows how long it has been, you have changed Alright. Well, why are you losing your temper with me? You men are just unreliable! Tell me, are you tired of me and want to accept the side concubine! Let me tell you, if you want to accept the side concubine, I will immediately take three A child back to Xiao's house!"

Jue Lin was stunned for a moment, then the veins on his forehead twitched, the muscles on his face tensed, and his eyes were full of helpless forbearance.

What's the matter? It's obviously her fault, but now it's his fault, right?She is getting more and more good at hitting back and forth!
Although he knew that she was probably pretending to scare him like this, but he still couldn't help but soften his heart and feel distressed.Thinking of her performance during the period after giving birth, the little anger in her heart dissipated immediately.The gloomy look on his face was also replaced by helpless pampering.

"What are you thinking nonsense again. Don't get involved in the matter of accepting the concubine. When did I say that I wanted to accept the concubine? You said it. Am I wronged?" Jue Lin ignored her struggle He forcefully pulled her over and sat on his lap, hugged her tightly with both hands, lowered his head and said in a funny and angry way.

Where Juelin couldn't see, Mu Jinxi twitched the corner of her mouth proudly, but when she raised her head, she had a different face, full of accusations: "Otherwise, what's going on? Come back and lose your temper with me." , How could such a thing happen before? You dislike me for getting old and my body getting worse, don't you?"

The corner of Jue Lin's mouth twitched uncontrollably, not knowing where she started talking?Where did he act as if he disliked her appearance and figure?Don't you still like to pester her to perform Zhou Gong's rituals at night?He hasn't even said that she despises him yet, so it's really a backlash.

"Okay, don't change the subject by talking nonsense! Since you can't remember, I'll remind you!" Jue Lin felt that it was better for her to say it directly, so that she wouldn't know where to drag the topic.

"you say!"

Jue Lin looked at her deeply, "Are you planning to go to sea with the caravan?"

"Ah?" Mu Jinxi heard him say this out of nowhere, she couldn't react, and after she realized it, she subconsciously said: "Yes, I plan to go to sea with the caravan—" Before finishing speaking, the second half of the sentence Just because of his suddenly gloomy complexion and the unconcealable loss in his eyes, he got stuck in his throat.She stared blankly at him and felt a sudden pain in her heart. She couldn't explain clearly, and felt that she seemed to have overlooked something.

Jue Lin's hands that were tightly embracing her body could not help but loosen, and looked at her disappointedly, "Jin'er, you have made a decision on such an important matter without discussing it with me. Have you ever thought about it?" Me, have you thought of three children? Little Treasure is already grown up, maybe he can understand, but what about two young ones? The second child is less than two years old, and the third child is only half a year old, but you have to leave the capital to go to sea to do business ? Is it true that in your heart, my three children and I are not as important as your business?"

Although Mu Jinxi didn't understand why Juelin reacted so strongly, she still denied it reflexively when she heard his words: "No! It's not like this Juelin! Of course you are the most important in my heart! Regarding the matter of going to sea, I didn't make a decision without discussing it with you, but I haven't really decided, I just have this idea!"

If she really went to sea with the caravan, she would of course discuss it with her family. Now that she has a family and a mother, it is impossible for her to make such a big decision without discussing it with her family. of!And why would he think they were less important than business?Could it be that she was too busy during this time and ignored them?But, but that's because she lost too much work during her postpartum depression, and now she's just making up for it!
Also, Brother Mu is back, since they are going to let the caravan go to sea, there is a lot to prepare and do.She is an imperial merchant personally appointed by the emperor, so she must not be slack and lazy, otherwise she will not only lose face of the Mu Palace, Xiao Palace, but also the royal family.

She always thought that Juelin understood her very well, and those who supported her had always been like this before. Why did Juelin react so strongly this time?
Mu Jinxi was a little confused.

Jue Lin looked at her silently, his gaze was incomprehensible.

"Jue Lin?" Mu Jinxi blinked and called softly.

Jue Lin hugged her into his arms, buried her head on his chest, and asked hoarsely, "Jin'er, don't go, don't go to sea, okay? You can do whatever you want, but go to sea No, I disagree."

"Why! Is it because you think it's too dangerous? It's okay. Brother Mu said that it's actually not that dangerous. The waves in the sea area we passed are actually quite calm. As long as we avoid the bad weather season, we'll be fine!" Mu Jin Xi thought he was worried that he would encounter danger when he went out to sea.

Jue Lin pursed his lips, and a glint flashed in his eyes, but he said word by word: "This is just one of the reasons. The children are still young, and it's not three or two days, not ten days for you to go to sea. You can come back in half a month. You don't have to worry about what to do if something happens in the mansion while you are out at sea. Although there are servants in the mansion, they are just servants and cannot replace you. Are you really Don't worry about leaving our third son behind and go to sea by yourself?"

Mu Jinxi was blocked by his words.

To be honest, she has thought about all the questions Jue Lin said.The child is still young, but there are servants in the mansion, there is him as the father, and there are people from Xiao's mansion.If she is worried that the servants in the mansion can't take good care of her, she can send the child back to Xiao's mansion and ask her mother to take care of it.Besides, even if she goes to sea, she won't go for too long. This trip is just to test the waters and explore the way, and it won't take too long on the journey.

It will be back in about three months at most.

Three months is not a long time, no matter how fast a child grows up, he will not grow up in three months, don't you know her?It's not that she insists on running out, but that this matter is so important that she doesn't trust others, and they are not as familiar with the situation at sea as she is, so it would be safer for her to go.You can also get more information to facilitate future planning.

After thinking about it, Mu Jinxi felt that Juelin's mood was not right now, and he probably wouldn't listen to him if he tried to reason with him.Since this is the case, let's talk about it later, anyway, the matter of going to sea will not be settled for a while, and there are still many things to deal with.

"Let's not talk about this matter for now. After all, it hasn't been decided yet, and variables may appear at any time. Actually, I haven't decided whether to go or not. You don't have to worry too much."

Jue Lin's eyes changed, he didn't know what he thought of, but in the end he didn't say anything, and followed her and stopped talking about this topic.

Mu Jinxi thought that this incident was over, but soon she became distressed.Because she always saw Jue Lin staring at her with weird eyes when she didn't expect it, as if to prevent her from disappearing.But when she asked him if he had anything to say, he said no with a natural expression, and then turned around to do other things.As soon as her attention was gone, her eyes suddenly appeared out of nowhere, staring straight at her.

This made her very distressed, and she didn't know what to do.It's clear that there is something wrong with Jue Lin like this, but if he doesn't tell her, she can't force him to say it!While she was busy with outside affairs, she had to face Juelin's ubiquitous and strange gaze when she returned to the mansion, which almost drove her into another episode of postpartum depression.

But even so, she did not forget about Xu Morou.A few days later, she finally found a chance to have a good talk with Brother Mu.

She intentionally or unintentionally talked about Mo'er's current situation. Of course, she found out about the affairs of Mo'er's sister-in-law's cousin. It really is not a good family. If Mo'er married, the rest of her life would definitely be very boring. .Her sister-in-law's cousin, in modern terms, is straight male cancer, and it's the advanced type. Apart from this, he is still a mother's baby!
Tsk tsk tsk, it's no wonder that he doesn't get married at such an old age. It's not because he is demanding, but because his mother is demanding!Not only must the appearance be outstanding, but also the family background must not be bad, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, female celebrities and female skills must not be bad in everything, but also be gentle and obedient. Those who make up their own minds should listen to their family members.

Listen to this request, just marry a puppet.His younger brother got married, but when he got married, he would quarrel every three days. The old lady insisted on controlling the family and was unwilling to let go of power. They even had to intervene in the house... If Mo'er married, where would there be? Happiness to speak of.

While she was talking, she tried her best to exaggerate the situation and made the situation as serious as possible, while secretly observing the changes in Brother Mu's expression.But she was a little disappointed, except that after she noticed the twitching of Brother Mu's brow at the beginning, no matter what she said next, he was still an outsider, and he didn't show the slightest difference.

She couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.Could it be that Brother Mu really doesn't mean anything to Mo'er?If so, it will be difficult.

After speaking, both of them fell silent.Mu Jinxi couldn't figure out what was going on in his heart for a while, Ling Muhua felt that what he said rashly might cause some misunderstanding, so he shut up cleverly and remained silent.

Mu Jinxi looked at him silently after a while, "Brother Mu, don't you have anything to say?"

Ling Muhua looked innocent and bewildered, "Uh, what should I say?"

Mu Jinxi gritted her teeth, thinking that he was clearly pretending to be crazy!She couldn't believe that he really didn't understand what she meant.

Well, if he wanted to pretend, she just wanted to expose him.Time is limited, and this matter won't last long, otherwise, if Mo'er's marriage is really decided by her sister-in-law, it will be irreversible.

"Brother Mu, don't pretend to me. I know you understand what I mean. I'll make it clear today. Don't you really mean anything to Mo'er? Mo'er is a beautiful woman, and she is very talented. I don't lack everything, I believe you have seen what kind of person she is. Let me say something that may make you unhappy, Mo'er is enough for you, don't despise her." Mu Jinxi said seriously.

Ling Muhua's brows twitched, and a strange light flashed across a pair of bright eyes, so fast that Mu Jinxi couldn't catch it.

He was sitting on a rose chair, with his thumb, index finger and middle finger gracefully supporting his forehead, and his slightly raised ring finger and little finger were long and straight. In modern times, they are a pair of perfect hands for playing the piano.The thick black eyebrows, which are neat without trimming, seem to be thinner than those of ordinary men, and the eyelashes are long. At this time, the eyelids are slightly drooping, covering the brilliance in the eyes.The bridge of the nose is straight, the lips are bright red, the jaw line is not as rigid as Jue Lin's, but rather soft, and the skin is fair and delicate, comparable to a woman.

Mu Jinxi looked at it, and a poem suddenly popped up in her mind: red lips and white teeth, born with beautiful eyes and clear eyebrows.Brother Mu is a man who becomes more attractive the more he looks at him. Although he is not as stunning as Ah Xiao, he has a different flavor.

Ling Muhua noticed her gaze, looked up, saw her staring at him in a daze, couldn't help laughing, "Xiao Xi, I said that even if Jue Lin spoils you again, you should restrain yourself, staring at you so blatantly Isn't it right to look at a man?" If Jue Lin were here, his handsome face would be blackened into charcoal.

Mu Jinxi blinked her eyes, curled her lips, "Everyone has a love for beauty, so what if I see beautiful things?"

The corner of Ling Muhua's mouth twitched.It's really not a happy thing for a man to be called beautiful.

But Mu Jinxi became interested, "Brother Mu, do you know? When I first saw you, I wondered if you were disguised as a man!"

Ling Muhua's complexion suddenly turned dark, and he squinted at her coldly, "How does this young man look like a woman?"

Mu Jinxi is very innocent, "It looks like everywhere."

"..." Ling Muhua was so angry that he pointed at her with trembling fingers and was speechless for a long time, and finally had to bring up the topic that he had avoided before. "Hurry up and get down to business!"

"Oh, I was so fascinated by your beauty that I almost forgot my business!" Mu Jinxi patted her head.

Ling Muhua suddenly felt a little pain in his head.

"Brother Mu, do you have any interest in Mo'er? Answer me honestly, this is related to Mo'er's life's happiness!" Mu Jinxi said with a serious expression.

It's also about Xu Morou's lifelong happiness, is it that exaggerated.Ling Muhua complained silently in his heart.

"Xiaoxi, I don't believe you don't understand, Miss Xu is a delicate flower that grows in a flower shed, but I am not the person who can take care of flowers. We are not suitable. According to what you just said, if her sister-in-law's cousin is not If she is a good match, then she can tell her parents honestly. If her parents love her, they will not marry her. Why are you so worried? "

"Brother Mu, you don't understand! Because Mo'er is seventeen now, she is already an old girl in the eyes of many people, and she doesn't have the qualifications to pick and choose. Her parents may not think so, so they treat her Sister-in-law's proposal is heart-warming. Maybe her parents will really marry her over, if so, her life will really be ruined." Mu Jinxi said worriedly.

Ling Muhua sighed softly, and said realistically: "Then what do you want to do? Let me marry her? It's not okay to talk about our two wishes, but our identities. The Luo family has fallen, and we They are also in business, what kind of family is the Xu family? There is absolutely no possibility of marrying Miss Yi to a businessman! Don't waste your efforts!"

Mu Jinxi frowned, as if she had only thought of this at this time.

I have to admit that what Brother Mu said makes sense.The Xu family is a family of officials and officials, a century-old family, Mo'er is the daughter-in-law, and although Brother Mu is a member of the Luo family, he was kicked out early, and the Luo family has long since fallen.In Dachu, Brother Mu is just a businessman.

but……

"No, Brother Mu, although you are just a businessman in Dachu, you are still the nephew of the king of Haiguo. You are like a prince. Why can't you be worthy of Mo'er?" Mu Jinxi clapped her hands together, His eyes lit up and he said happily.

Ling Muhua's expression froze, indicating that she couldn't answer these words by herself.

Even if he is the prince of the Hai Kingdom, he still belongs to the Hai Kingdom, not Da Chu, so what's the use?In Dachu, he is a businessman, a businessman who can't get on the stage!Not to mention the Xu family, even ordinary court officials may not be willing to marry their daughter-in-law to him.

Of course, those who are willing to sell their daughters in exchange for benefits are another matter.

Probably the meaning expressed by Ling Muhua's expression was too obvious, Mu Jinxi stretched out her slender index finger and shook it, "Brother Mu, you don't understand that. Although your prince status is the prince of Haiguo, that is also Royal family and nobles! Besides, Haiguo and Dachu are friendly allies. As the prince of Haiguo, you are also of the blood of Dachu, and you married the daughter of an official of Dachu as your wife. Isn’t this more intimate? I think as long as you let go of this matter, I will let Jue Lin find a chance to talk about it in front of the emperor, and it will definitely happen!"

Ling Muhua was speechless again.

I don't know how long it took before I shook my head and said: "Even if you are right, this matter will not work. If Ms. Xu marries me, she may not be happy, and she may suffer a lot. You are her friend , you probably don't want to see her live a miserable life for the rest of her life?"

Mu Jinxi was a little disapproving of his words, "Why is it hard to follow you? Although you are not an official, it doesn't mean that only an official's wife can be happy, have no worries about food and clothing, and be cared for by someone, so protection is enough. According to me, being an official's wife may not lead to happiness, and no one can say for sure about official affairs, offending people at any time, and being imprisoned is also a common thing. You might as well be a businessman for peace of mind."

Besides, Brother Mu's current situation doesn't require him to do many things himself, he can just order the people below to go, and there is no danger.She feels fine.

Ling Muhua squinted at her, "This is just your opinion, and it doesn't mean that Miss Xu thinks the same way. Don't worry about it so much. I found that you have changed a little since you gave birth to your second child. , you like to worry about everything, and you don't feel tired."

There are already so many things to worry about, and she still doesn't think it's enough to worry about other people's marriages and what to do.Everyone has their own way to go. Although they are friends, there are some things that he thinks she shouldn't interfere too much, so as not to cause trouble in the end.Don't talk about Xu Morou, just talk about the people of the Xu family, would they think that her hand was stretched too far, and if it was involved in Jue Lin's body or the affairs of the court, the loss outweighed the gain.

In fact, it's not that Mu Jinxi doesn't understand this truth, but Xu Morou is her friend, she can't just watch her jump into the fire pit and ignore it, can she?No matter what the final result is, at least she has tried her best to help, she has a clear conscience and is worthy of her own conscience.

"Hmph, you think I'm willing, but it's not all of you, everyone is not worried!" Mu Jinxi complained.If they took the initiative themselves, she wouldn't need to worry about it.

The corner of Ling Muhua's mouth twitched, and he was speechless again.

After all this matter, there was still no result. Although Mu Jinxi was a little impatient, she couldn't force him to make a choice, so she had to give up in the end.I thought I would find a chance to ask in the future, and Mo'er's side should be delayed for a while.
