The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 792 Part [-]: The man who enters menopause early
Back at the mansion, Mu Jinxi and Jue Lin were going to bed at night, she remembered this incident, so she sighed casually.

Jue Lin was silent for a while before he said coldly: "Since he didn't deny it, then he admitted it."

Mu Jinxi was thinking about something, but she didn't understand all of a sudden, she was a little confused, "Ah? What do you mean?"

Jue Lin glanced at her sideways, pinched her nose a little amusingly, and said with a smile: "You, you, you usually look shrewd, but it doesn't work at critical times. Since Ling Muhua didn't deny that he treats Miss Xu If you have a good impression, from another point of view, you admit that you have a good impression. As for why he rejected your proposal, I think he has too many worries."

His background and growth environment were different from theirs, which also caused their thinking directions to be different.From their point of view, it was a very common thing, but it might not be that simple to him.As a man, especially a responsible man, he absolutely does not want to see his wife suffer and suffer with him.

The troubles of the Luo family back then were well known to everyone, although in the end Ling Muhua broke free from the matter of the eldest prince because of Hai Guo's relationship, but people's words are scary.Xu Morou is the eldest daughter of the Xu family, if she marries him, the Xu family's reputation will inevitably be cast a shadow.Xu Morou might not mind, but the rest of the Xu family might not.

"Worries? What worries does he have?" Mu Jinxi was a little confused.

Jue Lin looked at her amusedly, shook his head, and shared his thoughts.When he said that, Mu Jinxi suddenly realized.

She frowned and thought about it, and after a while she had to admit that it was indeed possible.Although she disagreed, Brother Mu and the Xu family... hey, what should we do now?
Seeing her distressed look, Jue Lin said in a low voice: "Why do you worry too much about this kind of thing. Xu Morou is the daughter of the Xu family. If her relatives can't choose a good marriage for her, how can you be a friend?" How much can you do? I know you are worried about Ms. Xu, but she is not a child, she knows how to deal with major events in her life. If you are worried, just give some advice, don't interfere too much, so as not to fall People talk."

The most important thing, if Jin'er intervenes and Xu Morou is still unhappy in the end, then whose responsibility should it be?To put it bluntly, this is a thankless task, and what you get accidentally is not gratitude but complaints.He didn't want Jin'er's kindness to be misunderstood in the end, and she would definitely be sad by then.

"But Mo'er..." Mo'er is not herself, with a character like her, she can only obey her parents' arrangements, right?All women in this world are like this.

Seeing this, Jue Lin reached out and rubbed her head, persuading her: "You are just Miss Xu's friend, she still has relatives, how can you meddle in her marriage? Unless her family has gone too far, you can take care of her." It's reasonable to think about it, but now, you'd better wait and see what happens. Don't think Miss Xu is too weak. Don't think too much, go to bed early. "

After a pause, I couldn't help asking: "If you have such idle thoughts, why don't you think about what I told you before, how do you think about going to sea?"

The expression on Mu Jinxi's face froze immediately, Jue Lin had been watching her all the time, seeing that she still didn't understand something like this, she couldn't help but feel a little angry, but also a little helpless.

"Jin'er, I hope you will think about this matter carefully. I don't want you to go to sea. I want you to stay in the capital." Jue Lin looked at her and said bluntly.

Mu Jinxi met his dark eyes, and felt that there seemed to be something in his eyes, but she couldn't see clearly for a while, so she just looked at him blankly and said nothing.

After a while, Jue Lin sighed softly, without saying anything more, went straight to the bed and lay down, closing his eyes.

Mu Jinxi sensitively sensed that he seemed to be a little unhappy, looking at the person lying motionless on the bed, exuding indifference, she suddenly became a little at a loss.

Juelin, what happened?Angry again?She found that he seemed to be always angry recently, always angry about going to sea.But she has already said that the matter of going to sea has not been decided yet. She does not mean that she will definitely go to sea, and she may not go.But why does Juelin still insist on this problem?She couldn't figure out what was wrong with him.

After standing in front of the bed for a while, she took off her coat and went to bed.As soon as she lay down, the people around her stretched out their hands and pulled her into their arms, in the same posture as before, with a familiar body temperature.This made her restless heart slowly settle down, leaning against his arms, she closed her eyes.

She had to think about it, and think about what happened to Jue Lin.Could it be that he was relieved when she let him know that she would not go to sea?If that's the case... Well, then let's not go to sea for now, she is still young, and there will be opportunities in the future.At most, this time I will trouble Brother Mu to worry more.

What Jue Lin said made sense, the two children were still young, if she went to sea, it would take more than three months to come back.Three months is not long, but it is not short. For children, it is long enough.Maybe when she comes back from the sea, the two little ones probably won't recognize her as a mother. If some uneasy and well-intentioned people take the opportunity to provoke the relationship between their mother and child, then she will be at a loss.

Forget it, let's go to sea later!When I get up tomorrow, I will tell Jue Lin that he should be happy now, and he should be relieved, right?
When Mu Jinxi opened her eyes the next day, that was what Mu Jinxi was thinking about.Naturally, there was no one around, Jue Lin always got up earlier than her, and he had never seen him get up later than her, no matter whether he wanted to go to court or not.But at this time, he should have returned from the palace, right?
The color screens walked in quickly, and waited on her to wash and change her clothes.

"Where's the little prince?" Mu Jinxi asked.

"Little princess, after the little prince came back, he went to the yard where the little masters lived." Shi Hua replied while dressing her.

"That's right, the little lord feels sorry for the little masters. No matter how busy he is, he will go to the courtyard to see them every day after returning from court, and then come back to have breakfast." Cai Qing also said with a smile.

Mu Jinxi nodded while listening, and a smile could not help showing on her face.That's right, Jue Lin is a good father. He has always cared about his three children. If he can do things by himself, he will not leave them to his servants, unlike some men in this era who only talk in plain language.She also knew that every day when he returned home, he would never forget to go to the yard to accompany the two little ones and ask Xiaobao about his homework.

Maybe he missed Xiaobao's growth. For the two little ones, he tried to participate in everything. Even if he couldn't participate, he would ask about the process and understand clearly, and he would never be vague about it.She knows his intentions, and she is very happy in her heart. The process of children's growth requires the participation of both parents. She hopes that the growth process of several children will be joyful.

Mu Jinxi originally wanted to instruct Caiping to take the three children to Jinglanyuan for breakfast together. Although the two young ones can't eat rice and other food, it's okay to sit together for breakfast. happy.But before she had time to give orders, Jue Lin came back and said that the three little ones had already been eaten, and Xiao Bao would come over to say good morning to her later, and then go to school.

In this case, only two people ate it.

"Juelin, after thinking about it, I think what you said makes sense. The two children are still so young. It's not convenient for me to go to sea, and it's not good for them. So I decided not to go to sea!" Mu Jinxi ate and ate. She said suddenly, and looked at him with bright eyes after speaking, waiting for his reaction.

Jue Lin stopped the movement of his hands, and looked at her in surprise, and surprise flashed in his eyes after a while.

Mu Jinxi noticed the surprise and joy in his eyes, she felt relieved, and the last trace of regret dissipated.

Forget it, although you can't go to sea with the caravan, you still have a chance in the future.Seeing Jue Lin like this, he must have been troubled by this matter for a long time.If it hurts the couple's feelings, it's not worth it.Business is important, but family is even more important.Jue Lin has been very tolerant towards her, she can't just take care of herself, and can't ignore her responsibilities just because of Jue Lin's connivance to her.

Now she is a wife and mother, responsible for her husband and children.

Hearing what she said, Juelin had to admit that he was very happy, as if the things that had been worrying and fearing in his heart disappeared all of a sudden.

"You really decided not to go to sea with the caravan?" He still asked a little uncertainly.

Mu Jinxi smiled, "Of course, since I said it, it's a decision, and I won't go back on it. Now that the two children are still young, I should be by their side. It does take a little longer to go to sea, like this If I don’t, I might miss their growth. Actually, this matter is not urgent, and there will be opportunities in the future. When they are older, I will go to sea again if I have the opportunity.”

Mu Jinxi thought that Juelin would be happier after hearing this, but she didn't expect that just after she finished speaking, she saw Juelin's complexion suddenly darkened, and the joy and surprise in her eyes disappeared all of a sudden.

"You mean you will still go to sea with the caravan?" Jue Lin asked in a deep voice.

Mu Jinxi was a little dazed by his sudden change, didn't understand for a while, and nodded reflexively, "Of course, I set up the caravan and the fleet, and I also understand this aspect." It can be said that I understand it, and following it will also be of great help to the caravan. Of course, I will follow it when I have the opportunity in the future, and it’s good to see the world, isn’t it?”

Is there anything wrong with this?

Jue Lin pursed his lips tightly and remained silent, his face was tense and cold, and he did not see the joy and relaxation before.

"Juelin, what's the matter with you? Is there any problem?" Mu Jinxi felt that her brain was not enough recently, and she couldn't understand what was going on in the mind of the person next to her pillow.I feel that he is more difficult to deal with than a woman who is menstruating during this time.

Jue Lin had already put down the bowls and chopsticks, wiped his mouth expressionlessly before standing up and said softly: "No problem, I'm glad you didn't choose to go to sea with the caravan this time, the children will be very happy to know Yes. I'm going out first, and I may come back later today, so don't wait for me to eat."

Before Mu Jinxi could react, he had already left.

She frowned and looked at the direction he left, thinking about it and couldn't help getting angry.

What, what happened to Jue Lin, why are you so angry!Didn't she already promise not to go to sea?He was obviously very happy just now, why did he change his face in a blink of an eye?Turning faces is faster than flipping books! He, isn't he entering menopause early at such a young age?

Although she was a little annoyed in her heart, she still thought about what happened just now carefully, and finally found a turning point.

Jue Lin seemed to change his face just now when he heard that he had the opportunity to go to sea again in the future... It means that he doesn't want to go to sea by himself, whether it is now or in the future?
Thinking of this, she was a little uncertain.Jue Lin has always supported what she did and never obstructed her. Why is there such a big reaction this time?Was it because she thought it was dangerous to go to sea or was it for some other reason that she hadn't thought of?
This was the first time she encountered such a thing, and Mu Jinxi couldn't help feeling distressed.

Family conflicts, if they are not handled carefully, it will affect their family happiness and peace!So she had to think about how to solve it. After all, she really had no way to guarantee that she would not go to sea in the future.

When she was in the mansion, she occasionally muttered a few times, and the color screens knew about it, but no matter how clever the maids were usually, they couldn't give any good ideas at this time.That's the little prince, and if the little princess doesn't know it herself, the maids don't even know it.However, they felt that the little prince must be doing this because he was worried about the little princess, but they didn't know what they were worried about.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed. Although there were troubles in the mansion, Mu Jinxi still did not settle for things outside.She has already discussed with Brother Mu that besides some daily necessities, they plan to bring some local unique things of Dachu, such as silk and porcelain, which must be indispensable. In addition, she thinks it is very It is necessary to bring things from Fangrong Pavilion and Hengfuxuan.

After all, no matter where they are, women have to dress themselves up, and Brother Mu also said that Haiguo's economy is not bad.They do have money, but there is nothing good worth spending money on.

Now that the plan has been finalized, the next preparatory work is indispensable.Fangrong Pavilion and Hengfuxuan itself are very popular in the capital, and the new products are often sold out within a few days, and those who are slow can't even get what they want.

When she returned to Xiao's house, she heard from her aunt that many wives complained to her that they often couldn't buy the desired balm and powder. She wanted to ask her through her aunt if she could increase the quantity, so don't just show it. It sold out in a few days, and it will take some time to wait for the next batch.It's not that she hasn't thought about increasing the number, but reality doesn't allow it.

This is ancient times, not modern times with mechanization. She has to ensure the quality of her products. If there is no way to improve efficiency, there is naturally no way to increase output.She didn't want to ruin the reputation she had built so hard for the sake of short-term interests.So for those ladies who couldn't buy anything, she could only say sorry.

So now, in addition to the daily output required by the shop, another batch has to be produced to be taken to Haiguo. The tension can be imagined.In order to be able to produce it smoothly, Mu Jinxi also called the stewards of the two shops and several planting bases dedicated to supplying raw materials, and explained the matter solemnly, asking them to cooperate fully, but the quality On the other hand, the requirements cannot be lowered.

Of course, rewards are indispensable.

She has always been very clear about rewards and punishments. If she does well, she will not be stingy with giving rewards, and if she does not do well, she will not be easily fooled.She brought the current methods of managing employees of large companies to ancient times, and combined them according to the actual situation, the effect was excellent.At least no one has caused any major incidents in these years, and she has a good eye for choosing people. Several important managers are loyal to her and reliable in their work.

Haiguo was her first battle against the Great Chu, so of course she couldn't play it lightly.Although she can't do everything herself, she still tries her best to personally supervise and check some important procedures, and try her best to make sure there are no problems.But in this way, she became more and more busy, because of her status as an imperial merchant, if she wanted to go to sea, there were still many procedures that needed to be done, and dealing with the government was also indispensable.

The emperor also summoned her into the palace for questioning, and reminded her vaguely not to focus on the outside affairs and forget about the affairs in the mansion.

What the emperor said reminded her of Juelin's abnormality recently.She couldn't figure out why he opposed her going to sea so much.It's not that she didn't want to have a good talk with him, but every time she talked well at the beginning, but after talking about it, he turned black.A few times, she almost couldn't help but wanted to try to see if he would be relieved if she promised that she would never have the idea of ​​going to sea in the future.

It's just that when she thinks that if she says it out loud, if Jue Lin takes it seriously, it will be difficult for her to do it in the future.She has always said that she will fulfill what she says, and now she really has no way to promise anything to Jue Lin about going to sea.

And so the situation stalled.

In the end, she couldn't help complaining when she sat with Brother Mu to discuss the progress of the sea trip.

After hearing her words, Ling Muhua didn't speak at first, he was thoughtful, and finally said with some uncertainty: "Xiaoxi, I have an idea, but I don't know how likely it is, you listened, and it might not be possible to try it. No."

Mu Jinxi was a little surprised, but she nodded, "Tell me."

Brother Mu is a man, maybe he will understand that Juelin might as well.

Ling Muhua thought for a while and said slowly: "I think maybe Juelin is afraid."

Mu Jinxi was startled, then shook her head with a wry smile, "Brother Mu, I've thought of this a long time ago, but I've already explained it to him and analyzed to him that going out to sea isn't too dangerous, it's just useless .”

Ling Muhua also shook his head, "The fear I'm talking about doesn't mean the danger you will encounter when you go out to sea, he is worried about your fear, but another kind of fear."

"Ah? What do you mean?" Mu Jinxi admitted that she didn't understand.

Not this kind of fear, what kind of fear is that?
Ling Muhua thought about it again, as if he was a little uncertain and couldn't explain clearly, "I can't say the specifics. Just hearing what you said, I have a feeling in my heart that Juelin seems to be uneasy, but this uneasiness Not only because of the dangers you will encounter when going out to sea, there is another thing that makes him more concerned and afraid than this. As for what it is, I think you are his wife, and you should know it better than anyone else. yes."

After he finished speaking, he paused, looked at her and said, "Xiao Xi, you... have you been neglecting Jue Lin recently because you're too busy? Although Jue Lin is a man, sometimes to a man, a woman's neglect is more important than a man's. The difficulties he encountered in the officialdom made him even more sad. You'd better not put the cart before the horse."

Hearing this, Mu Jinxi really felt wronged and wronged.

Although she is very busy during this period and her feet don't touch the ground, she has tried her best not to neglect her family. Every day, she will take time to sit with her family, talk to a few children, and have fun.And Jue Lin, is he actually busier than her?But even so, she asked herself that she hadn't ignored him!
"Brother Mu, do you think I look like that kind of person?"

Ling Muhua stared at her for a while, then nodded seriously, and said honestly: "Actually, you really look like this kind of person."

Sometimes he was very puzzled why the honest Mu couple raised a daughter like Xiaoxi?It is correct and common sense to raise talents like Mu Jinhua!Cough cough, but, now Mu Jinhua is not the same Mu Jinhua as before, probably because of Xiao Xi's influence.So speaking of it, who did Xiao Xi learn from with such a temper?How did you develop it?
Looking at the whole Dachu, he dare not say that she is absolutely unique, but it is really difficult to find another woman like her.

Mu Jinxi stared at him: "..."

Ling Muhua shrugged, "I've already given you my advice, think about it yourself. You are his wife, if you don't even know what he's thinking, do you expect others to find out? If so, then you This wife is too dereliction of duty."

Mu Jinxi couldn't refute this, and had to admit that it was indeed the case.If another person knew what Jue Lin was thinking, wouldn't she be a failure as a wife?

She frowned and thought about what Brother Mu said just now, and carefully recalled all the things during this period of time in her mind, but in the end she still had no clue.

After thinking about it again after returning home, she still couldn't come up with a reason, so she had to make a decision!She couldn't believe that the reason could not be found out from Jue Lin's mouth!
