Chapter 772 Do you know what it feels like to scratch your heart and lungs? (two in one)

He opened another brocade box, this one was for pearl flowers.

He smiled and said: "I saw these two pearl flowers in the Yinlou. Because it is so special, I rarely see this kind of purple pearl, so I bought it. Auntie, you know, my family doesn't have any pearls. Sister, I don’t know who to give it to, so I gave it to my aunt. If my aunt thinks it’s not suitable for her to wear, she can give it to anyone else.”

Chen took a look at the brocade box, and found that the purple bead flowers inside were indeed very beautiful, so beautiful that she couldn't take her eyes off it.And people at her age don't need to be dazzling when wearing jewelry, but pay attention to value and connotation.

The look that Qi Muyuan sent just now is very suitable for her.

And these two pearl flowers are quite suitable for young women, especially...

Thinking of this, her heart moved, she raised her eyes to look at Qi Muyuan, and met Qi Muyuan's deep eyes.

Her heart skipped a beat, thinking of a possibility.

Did Du Jinning tell Qi Muyuan that she was a woman?Telling him such important news, doesn't it mean that she has entrusted her life to Qi Muyuan?
But, such an important matter, why didn't the little girl tell her mother?
Chen was a little angry at this time, but more secretly happy.

She doesn't want much in this life, only Du Jinning can live in peace, someone who loves and takes care of her, has a warm home, and has a few children, these are her greatest wishes.

Now that Du Jinning is willing to tell Qi Muyuan her real gender, isn't it not too far before she regains her daughter's body?

Soon she will be 16 years old, if she can get married and have children at the age of 17...

Chen's thoughts suddenly drifted away.

Qi Muyuan didn't know what Chen was thinking.The jewelry he gave couldn't be clearly stated, but he knew that Du Jinning must know what he wanted.

He suddenly rubbed his stomach and said with a shy smile, "Auntie, when can I have breakfast? I'm already hungry."

The brocade box containing the sapphire had already been put in the luggage by Qi Muyuan, and he planned to give it to Du Jinning himself.

Originally, these two pearl flowers were also intended to be given to Du Jinning, but Qi Muyuan didn't dare to take the risk.

In case he guessed Du Jinning's gender wrongly, wouldn't Du Jining get angry by giving these two bead flowers?Sending it to Mrs. Chen will be much safer, and you can also test the truth of the matter.

His natural sensitivity and the special occupation he is now engaged in make him more sensitive to people's reactions than ordinary people.When Chen raised his head and looked at him just now, he could see that Chen was shocked and joyful, and his emotions fluctuated greatly.

A set of head and face jewelry couldn't move her, but the two bead flowers, which were beautiful but not suitable for her, made her react like this. If Du Jinning had no secrets, even Qi Muyuan would not believe it.

At this moment, his desire to see Du Jinning became urgent again.

But he had already said that he wanted to have breakfast with Mrs. Chen, and it was hard to say that he would leave now, so he had to urge him to eat quickly and go to Du Jinning after eating.

Fortunately, the servants of Du's family moved quickly, and the mother-in-law had already brought the food box over.At this time, as soon as Mrs. Chen ordered, they put them on the table one by one, and invited Mrs. Chen and Qi Muyuan to eat in the side hall.

"Where's the crystal bag?" Chen glanced at the food on the table and asked.

"Aunt Zhu said, we have to wait for a while." The old woman replied.

Only then did Chen shi say with a smile to Qi Muyuan: "You like that, I specially asked someone to make it for you, but it will take a while."

Although the Su family is hypocritical, she also cares about her son.But the warmth in Qi Muyuan's heart at this moment was something that he didn't have in front of Su Shi.

No matter what aspects of Chen's, they fit Qi Muyuan's fantasy about his mother very well.In front of Chen Shi, he felt what mother's love is.

Su's probably because of her beauty, whether she was in her natal family before or later married into Qi's family, she was always pampered and held in the palm of her hand.She can't be a mother at all.Even if she really cared about her son, the method was not right. It was more like she was acting like a baby and asking for comfort and pampering.

When she paid one point, she wanted to be rewarded with ten points, otherwise, she would feel hurt.

But Chen is not.Qi Muyuan can feel that she loves Du Jinning and is willing to give everything she has without asking for anything in return.

This is the real mother.

Because he felt this kind of maternal love, Qi Muyuan was very relaxed in front of Chen Shi, as if he really regarded himself as her child.Firstly, he was hungry, and secondly, he was in a hurry. Under Chen's frequent pickling of vegetables, he gorged himself and said he was full after a while.

"The crystal bag hasn't arrived yet." Mrs. Chen was very regretful.

Qi Muyuan was about to speak, when he saw a little maid running in quickly carrying a food box, and shouted, "Madam, the crystal is wrapped." Mama Tao, who was standing on the porch, scolded her .

"Come here, eat two more." Chen said happily, and wanted to order his servants to open the food box.

Qi Muyuan reached out and pressed the food box, and smiled at Chen Shi: "Auntie, let me take this to Zhuangzi to eat. I really can't eat it now."

Chen Shi hardly ate anything just now, so she watched Qi Muyuan eat.She didn't have a son, and seeing Qi Muyuan devouring so much, not only did she not feel disgusted, but she was very satisfied and happy.

She has always been from a farming family, and in her bones, she feels that "it is a blessing to be able to eat".

After hearing this, she nodded and said, "Okay." She ordered the servants to wrap up the food box.

Treating Qi Muyuan to breakfast, Mrs. Chen naturally would not forget his two followers, and had already ordered someone to set up a table in the wing room for the two watching chess to eat.And they are not like Qi Muyuan, they have to deal with Chen Shi while eating, they eat faster than Qi Muyuan.

Now that Qi Muyuan was about to leave, the two of them who had enough to eat and drink could follow immediately, bid farewell to Mrs. Chen together with their master, went out, got on their horses, and went straight to Zhuangzi.

It was Chen time, almost eight o'clock in modern times. When Qi Muyuan and his party arrived at Zhuangzi, they saw a group of people harvesting rice in the field in full swing—they harvested from the inside out, today's harvest Beside the main road, there are the last dozens of acres of fields, which can be irrigated tomorrow.

"Steward Yao." Qi Muyuan sharp-eyed saw a man standing on a field stalk, reined in his horse and let out a cry.

Yao Shuqi was talking to Song Zhuangtou, when he turned his head to look, he said pleasantly, "Master Qi."

"Where's your young master?"

"It's in the small courtyard on Zhuangzi." Yao Shuqi ran over holding the front of his coat, "Just now I went to look around and saw that there was nothing to do, so I went back."

Qi Muyuan nodded, crossed his legs and lifted the reins, and said, "I'll go find her." As soon as the words fell, the man rushed far away.

Yao Shuqi was worried, and was about to tell Song Zhuang the first sentence to go back, when he heard Qi Muyuan's words from afar: "You don't need to come back, the business is important. I'm only looking for your young master."

Yao Shuqi thought for a while, then stopped.

When the two young masters were together, they never asked them to serve them very much, even if the two young servants were only guarding at the gate of the yard, he would have nothing to do when he went back, so it would be better to watch them work here, which would be regarded as helping the young master with his work.

Du Jinning likes to be quiet, and what he is doing is a major event, no one dares to disturb him, only Aoki is sitting in the small room by the door, holding a book and reading.

Hearing the movement, he went out, and saw Qi Muyuan and his party riding over.

"Master Qi, are you here?" Aoki called happily.

While speaking, Qi Muyuan's horse had already ridden in front of him, he got off the horse, threw the rope into his hand, and asked, "Is Jin Ning in there?"

"Here." Qing Mu replied two words, saw Qi Muyuan had pushed the door and entered, said, "The emperor has a secret decree for her, you stay here and don't let anyone in." He tied the door with his backhand up.

After entering the yard, Qi Muyuan's heartbeat quickened, and he took three steps at a time and went up the steps to the main room with the door open.

"Jinning." He called out.

Du Jinning was looking at her cultivation bowl, and when she heard this familiar voice, she turned her head in surprise, and saw Qi Muyuan smiling at her with his white teeth showing.

"Why are you free?" She put down the cultivation bowl in her hand, grabbed the clean cloth next to her to wipe her hands, and was wrapped into a warm and firm embrace.

The two hugged each other for a long time before Qi Muyuan let go of Du Jinning and said, "I went to your house first. Your mother said that you just went out, so I had breakfast with her there, and then I came over."

Du Jinning gave him a strange look and said "Oh".

Qi Muyuan smiled again: "On the way I came here just now, I saw that the rice in your field was growing well. I heard from Yao Shuqi that it was almost finished harvesting. How about it, how many catties per mu? Are Wu Shangshu and the others satisfied?"

Du Jinning blinked, and said: "It's okay, they are satisfied with the yield of three or four stones per mu."

Qi Muyuan's attention seemed to be attracted by the rows of cultivation pots again, he took a closer look, pointed to a rice plant growing inside, and asked, "What kind of rice is this?"

"Female rice with degenerated males but normal pistils."

Qi Muyuan has also read many agricultural books with Du Jinning, and usually listens to her talk about some of them, but he knows that plants are divided into male and female.

He became more and more interested: "The hybrid rice you mentioned is cultivated in this way? Tell me how to do it."

Du Jinning looked at him again, and then said: "Because the pollen of this kind of mother rice is weak to live, it cannot self-pollinate and bear fruit. Only by relying on foreign pollen can it be fertilized and bear fruit. Therefore, using this kind of mother rice as a genetic tool, through artificially assisted pollination In this way, hybrid seeds can be mass-produced.

Qi Muyuan didn't quite understand it, but this didn't stop him from admiring: "I didn't expect the seeds to be cultivated in this way, it's interesting."

Du Jinning was noncommittal.

Qi Muyuan straightened up: "I have read your "Tea Ceremony Collection", but unfortunately I was not able to be here at that time to participate in the grand occasion." He looked at Du Jinning, "Is it still possible to do tea ceremony now? I want to see it."

"Okay." Du Jinning said.

She looked at Qi Muyuan fixedly, and asked tentatively, "Now the past?"

Qi Muyuan nodded affirmatively: "It's over now."

"..."

Du Jinning walked out the door silently, saying, "Let's go."

She was very depressed.

When she stepped forward to leave, she revealed such a big secret, she thought that even if Qi Muyuan hadn't guessed that she was a woman, he would still be eager to know the answer.Because it is not easy to write it in black and white in the letter to be known, so he will hold back and ask her when they meet.And he took time out of his busy schedule to come here, it must be for this answer.

But looking at Qi Muyuan's current state, it seems that this is not the case at all.

Did he not understand what she meant at all, or did he simply forget about it?He is so smart, thoughtful and keen, it is impossible not to understand her meaning!And such a big thing, such an important thing, he can forget, does he still have himself in his heart?
But if he didn't have himself in his heart, he traveled thousands of miles, why did he have to work so hard to come here?
Thinking of this, she asked, "How do you have time to come?"

"To investigate a case in Mizhou, according to the normal time, it would take at least five days to investigate. I completed the investigation in three days. Then I came over."

Hearing this, the depression in Du Jinning's heart dissipated a little, and a little sweetness surged up.

She asked again: "Then how long can you stay here?"

"I'm going back to Beijing early in the morning the day after tomorrow."

"Oh." Du Jinning turned his head and looked at Qi Muyuan.

"What's the matter? Qi Muyuan touched his face in surprise, "Is it true that I've been in a bad mood all the way? "

Speaking of this, he hurriedly said: "No, I can't go to see Mr. Lu and the others like this. Where can you take a bath? I'll take a shower first."

Du Jinning withdrew his gaze, pointed to a nearby room and said, "There." Then he said, "My name is Aoki Boiling Water."

"No need." Qi Muyuan waved his hand, "It's a hot day, what kind of hot water should I wash in? Cold water will do."

"There is cold water." Du Jinning said.

When Qi Muyuan heard this, he went into the bathroom without saying a word, and shouted outside: "Guanqi, find out my clothes, I want to take a bath."

"Okay." The chess watchers outside were also very depressed.

Although the young master of his family has a cleanliness freak, it is under conditional circumstances.Like investigating a case outside, sometimes they squat in a certain corner for a whole day for information. As for whether this corner is not clean, they have no choice but to stay facing the gutter.

But from last night to today, he has taken a bath twice.

Seeing this, Du Jinning had no choice but to turn around depressedly and go back to the house first.

After Guanqi took his clothes and put them away, Qi Muyuan took off his clothes, poured cold water on his body, and smiled like a fox.

He is very impatient, he really wants to know the answer immediately, but he wants to know what kind of reaction Du Jinning will have if he doesn't ask.And just now Du Jinning's mood of being depressed and hesitant to speak made him feel happy watching.

Who told her to know that the charades she played would make him scratch his heart and make him sleepless, but she didn't tell him directly, but let him guess, and made him endure for so long before he knew the answer?She is so bad, why should he let her have a taste of this?

And, needless to say, judging from Du Jinning's reaction just now, he was already [-]% sure that he guessed right, Du Jinning was a woman.When he held her in his arms, he could feel the softness of her body which was different from that of a man.
