Chapter 80 Warmth
Mrs. Ji, who had a clear view of their two little moves, couldn't help but smile knowingly. She gently pulled Ji Yuan's sleeve, stood up and said to Mu Qiuhuang with a smile: "Okay, let's go to the kitchen to take a look.
How is the meal prepared? Let Xue'er accompany you for a walk and see..."
"Yes..." Upon hearing this, Mu Qiuhuang quickly stood up and said goodbye. She couldn't help but feel a little joy in her heart, and her affection for her mother-in-law also increased a little.
After watching her father-in-law and mother-in-law cross the threshold, Mu Qiuhuang felt her whole body suddenly relax. She turned back to look at Ji Ruoxue, who had picturesque features, and couldn't help but ask with a smile: "How is it? I was just here
Is my behavior in front of my mother-in-law acceptable?"
"Humph!" Ji Ruoxue pouted after hearing what he said, complaining: "You're so silly, not like your usual self at all..."
"Ah!" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but touched his head and said sarcastically: "Actually, I also feel that I am a little nervous, but this nervousness is completely out of my control! Besides...you said that the pig is in front of the owner.
Can you not be nervous if you give them cabbage?"
When Ji Ruoxue saw him comparing herself to a pig, she couldn't help but laugh and joked: "How can I say that to myself?"
"Haha..." Mu Qiuhuang stepped forward and grabbed her hand and said, "What's wrong with being compared to a pig? As long as I can get a good cabbage like you, I am willing to be a pig..."
"Hmph! Smooth talk."
"hey-hey……"
"But judging from my mother's reaction just now, she should be very satisfied with you." Ji Ruoxue said.
"Haha! I have never doubted my mother-in-law's vision." Mu Qiuhuang said with a smile.
"Virtue..." Ji Ruoxue rolled her eyes at him.
"By the way? Why didn't my mother-in-law show up when you were apprenticed a few days ago?" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Mother went to the temple a few days ago and just came back yesterday." Ji Ruoxue explained.
"oh."
"What about your master? Why don't you see your elder brother?" Mu Qiuhuang continued to ask. Logically speaking, since he has been in the mansion for so long, Ji Yan should have come to see him long ago.
"My master went to Zhujianlu. As for my eldest brother's whereabouts, I don't know very well. I only know that he left Lucheng overnight yesterday..." Ji Ruoxue explained to him in detail.
Hearing that Ji Yansi left Lucheng overnight, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but feel something in his heart. He guessed that something big had happened. If it wasn't something big, Ji Yan would never leave at this time. However, he did not continue to ask.
Ji Ruoxue's reason: firstly, he knew that Ji Ruoxue didn't care much about these things, and secondly, this was a matter of the Xiliehou Mansion after all.
"What are you thinking about?" Ji Ruoxue saw that he was deep in thought and asked.
"I was wondering what your master was doing at the Sword Making House?" Mu Qiuhuang replied casually.
"I don't know either." Although Ji Ruoxue said this, her eyes looking at Mu Qiuhuang shone with a strange light.
In fact, Li Taibai went to the Sword Making House to give him the thousand-year-old piece of cold iron. At Ji Ruoxue's apprenticeship banquet two days ago, Ou Yezi once said that if Li Taibai was willing to take out the piece of cold iron, he would be willing to go out and cast it for Ji Ruoxue again.
A sword. For Li Taibai, he already had the sword "Qinglian", so this piece of cold iron was naturally meaningless to him. What's more, the purpose of bringing this piece of cold iron was for him, his disciple.
Son, now that his disciple has received his name, this piece of cold iron is even more dispensable. In his imagination, Ou Yezi can personally go out and cast this piece of cold iron into a sword, and it is natural for him to give it to his disciple.
Nothing could be better. But she never thought that Ji Ruoxue had already planned for this piece of cold iron. She wanted to use it
This piece of cold iron was forged into a sword and given to Mu Qiuhuang... Ji Ruoxue did not tell Mu Qiuhuang at this time, because she wanted to wait until the moment the sword was made to give him a surprise.
"By the way! Didn't you say before that you wanted to go to the Miao Territory for training? After a while, we will set off for the Miao Territory." Mu Qiuhuang said to Ji Ruoxue.
"Yes." Ji Ruoxue nodded happily.
Mu Qiuhuang looked at Ji Ruoxue and continued: "It's not just the two of us who are going to Miao territory this time, there are also two friends of mine accompanying us."
"Well, it's all up to you." Ji Ruoxue said very obediently.
Seeing her appearance, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but gently hugged her in his arms.
At this moment, there was a burst of soft footsteps at the door. After Ji Ruoxue heard the sound, she quickly got out of Mu Qiuhuang's arms. Seeing this, Mu Qiuhuang felt helpless and looked toward the door, wanting to take a look.
Who is so annoying?
"Miss, uncle. Madam asked me to tell you to go to the dining room for dinner." The girl who woke her up stood outside the threshold and said softly, but when her eyes touched Mu Qiuhuang's face, there was something on her own cheek.
became red.
"Well... let's go there now." Ji Ruoxue said to Xing'er, but she noticed her red cheeks and couldn't help but joked: "You girl, why are your faces so red today?"
"Ah!" When Xing'er heard what Ji Ruoxue said, he subconsciously touched his cheek and argued, "It's a bit hot today. Maybe Xing'er has a heat stroke."
"Heatstroke?" Ji Ruoxue couldn't help but look at Xing'er with a smile.
Xing'er knew that he had said the wrong thing, and now he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in, and said quickly: "Miss, uncle, you two go to the dining room by yourself! I will go back to feed Xiaohua..."
Looking at Xing'er's hurried away figure, Ji Ruoxue couldn't help but smile at Mu Qiuhuang and said, "Did you see that? This girl has already begun to miss spring. As soon as she saw you, she became so nervous that she couldn't even speak.
You must not treat her badly in the future..."
"I..." Mu Qiuhuang thought for a while, looked at Ji Ruoxue and said, "Is it okay if I don't marry her?"
"Okay!" Ji Ruoxue looked at him and said with a strange smile: "Then the girl Su you told me last time is not allowed to marry either."
"Marry, why don't you marry me?" Mu Qiuhuang quickly agreed.
When Ji Ruoxue saw this, her heart couldn't help but she suddenly raised her head and asked, "Who is more beautiful, me or that girl Su?"
"Of course it's you, do you need to say that?" Mu Qiuhuang replied without hesitation.
"Bah!" Ji Ruoxue couldn't help but sneer at his answer, and said leisurely: "You can't even look down on someone as beautiful as Xing'er. The one named Su must be very beautiful..."
"In my heart, you will always be the most beautiful one." Mu Qiuhuang said with a smile.
"I want to meet this girl Su more and more." Ji Ruoxue murmured to herself.
Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said to Ji Ruoxue: "Then after lunch, I will take you to the inn! I just want to introduce Xiaoxiao and my two friends to you."
"Two friends? Could it be that they are two girls again?" Ji Ruoxue said.
"Am I so carefree?" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but touch her nose.
"Yes, you are just a playboy." Ji Ruoxue replied righteously.
"This..." Mu Qiuhuang knew that she was still angry from before, so she couldn't help but explain in a low voice: "One of them is a monk from Futu Temple, and the other is a Taoist priest from Wudang Mountain..."
…
…
I wonder what Mu Qiuhuang said along the way? But by the time the two of them crossed the courtyard and arrived at the dining room, Ji Ruoxue's face was already filled with endless smiles.
Entering the dining room, I saw Ji Yuan and Mrs. Ji already inside.
"Dad, mother."
"My father-in-law, my mother-in-law."
Ji Yuan and Mrs. Ji looked at their appearance and couldn't help but feel happy in their hearts. Mrs. Ji looked at Mu Qiuhuang with a smile and said: "Hurry up and sit down to eat! Today is a family banquet, so there is no need to be too polite.
.”
"Yes." Mu Qiuhuang smiled slightly at his mother-in-law.
Although it is a family banquet, judging from the specifications of the cuisine, it is only a little worse than the imperial banquet. Presumably, it is the same reason why Mu Qingen invited Zhang Fuling to dinner, but a few dishes were deliberately removed to deceive others.
...But even so, there are still a wide variety of dishes on the table, including those that fly in the sky, those that run on the ground, those that swim in the water... Everything you can imagine is on the table.
"Qiuhuang, this will be your home from now on, so you don't have to be cramped in your own home. You can come and go as you please..." Mrs. Ji looked at Mu Qiuhuang and smiled.
"Thank you, mother-in-law." Mu Qiuhuang thanked her quickly.
Ji Yuan looked at Mu Qiuhuang and smiled slightly, picked up the wine cup on the table and said, "Come on, let us have a drink first."
When Mu Qiuhuang heard this, she quickly stood up, picked up the wine cup with both hands, bent slightly towards Ji Yuan and said, "My son-in-law respects my father-in-law..."
After Ji Yuan finished drinking the wine with him, he waved his hand to him and asked him to sit down.
Mrs. Ji pointed to the dishes on the table and said with a smile: "Huang'er, don't just drink wine, come and have some food..."
Ji Ruoxue ordered her maid to serve a bowl of chicken soup to Mu Qiuhuang and said, "Hurry up and try this chicken soup. This is the most delicious thing in the world. My mother specially simmered it for you today. Look at my mother."
My kiss is so kind to you."
After hearing this, Mrs. Ji pointed at Ji Ruoxue and said with a smile: "You girl, you know how to flatter your mother in one day. Do you think everyone likes to drink chicken soup as much as you do?"
"The chicken soup made by my mother is the best thing in the world. Xueer is just stating the facts and not flattering!"
Ji Ruoxue said with a smile: "If you don't believe me, mom, ask dad and let him comment on whether Xue'er is flattering mom?"
"No need to ask, the chicken soup made by Madam is the best in the world." Ji Yuan said cheerfully.
"You two, father and daughter, know how to make me happy..." Mrs. Ji smiled.
Listening to the laughter among the three members of their family, Mu Qiuhuang's nose couldn't help but feel a little sour. At this moment, he suddenly thought of his mother who had no memory in his mind...if his mother was still alive.
How good it would be.
"Qiuhuang, come and try the chicken soup I made. Is it good?" Mrs. Ji, who was delicate and thoughtful, felt Mu Qiuhuang's burst of emotions, so she deliberately spoke to pull Mu Qiuhuang out of her sadness.
Mu Qiuhuang picked up the chicken soup and took a sip. He praised it and said: "It tastes good. It tastes so good. This chicken soup is even better than the jade liquid that the immortals drank in the legend..."
Mrs. Ji listened to his evaluation and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Qiuhuang, you are also a big sycophant..."
