77: C77 You're Not Married yet

C77 You're Not Married yet

Looking at the cute little fellow, Xu Yanlin immediately lost his temper. Holding the little fellow in his arms, he started to run and play high up in the game.

When Mu Chen returned from the outside, what he saw was his son pestering Xu Yanlin to play, while Shen Jingli sat at the side, eating melon seeds like a bunch of people.

"What is he doing here?" Mu Chen sat down beside Shen Jingli and accepted the tea from him. Waves of warmth emerged from his heart, the feeling of someone waiting at home was something only someone who had truly experienced it would know how intoxicating a person was.

"To complain that I betrayed him." However, before he could even get angry, he was abducted by his family's brat.

"What's going on?"

"He was beaten up by Young Master Zhao. He blamed me for revealing his return to the capital." Even if he didn't say it, Zhao Wenrui would have known sooner or later.

"You've met Zhao Wenrui?" Mu Chen took the wet towel that Lee Qi passed to him, wiped his face and hands, then picked up the fruit on the table and started to eat.

"We've met once at Blue Moon Lake. He looks really heroic …" With regards to Shen Jingli who was completely unable to resist beauty, he had accidentally become infatuated with his.

"Oh, really?" The tone was a bit weird.

Without hearing the change in Mu Chen's tone, Shen Jingli's mind was filled with memories of that day when Zhao Wenrui, dressed in a white robe and holding a spear, walked into the pavilion with large strides.

"That's right. Such a handsome man with such temperament. Other than you, this is the first time I've seen such a man. The capital is indeed a great place to be in, handsome …"

Realizing that he had said too much, Shen Jingli suddenly stopped, feeling that his entire body was wrapped in a black Qi, as though his body was surrounded by people who had gone berserk, and could explode at any time, he laughed awkwardly, picked up a grape and stuffed it into his mouth, purposely changing the topic, "This grape is pretty sweet, a rich family's life is great, such an expensive fruit, you can eat it anytime you want."

"Don't change the subject."

"…" Mu Shisi was not cute at all.

Shen Jingli's expression was bitter, he only admired and admired beautiful girls, why did he have such big opinions? Was he jealous?

Eh, jealous?

Shen Jingli seemed to have discovered something extraordinary as his eyes stared at Mu Chen slyly, the corners of his mouth bent upwards, and he was laughing non-stop.

Mu Chen was completely unsettled by his stare, and did not know what kind of evil scheme he was playing.

"Fourteen, are you jealous?" was jealous, what did this mean? He must have fallen in love with him.

"You're thinking too much." Mu Chen rejected the acknowledgement with a straight face.

"…" Shen Jingli was immediately overjoyed that he was actually so arrogant and spoiled.

"What are you guys talking about? Why are you guys so happy?" Xu Yanlin, who had enough fun in his arms, walked over. Seeing Shen Jingli's crooked smile, he was a little curious.

It was only until now that Mu Chen had noticed his pig-headed face, and it was obvious that Zhao Wenrui had purposely done this with all his might. Xu Yanlin's face was swollen and bruised, and if they were to return to the Xu Family together, the two elders would probably not be able to recognize their son.

"Nothing." Shen Jingli answered, and casually carried Xun Er away from his embrace. A little kid loved to sleep, so once he got tired of playing with his, he simply curled up into Xu Yanlin's embrace, dozing off.

Xu Yanlin also did not mind it too much. He sat down and said to Mu Chen: "What have you been doing these past few days? All day long, you can't even see your head or your tail. "

"Buy a store." Promise Shen Jingli to open a medicinal restaurant, he cannot go back on his words.

"Open a restaurant." Xu Yanlin's interest was immediately piqued, but whenhe thought about how Mu Chen actually didn't greet him in advance when doing things, she was a little unhappy, "We agreed to cooperate, why didn't you come and discuss it with me?"

Alone.

Mu Chen raised his head and looked at him, as if he was weighing his worth. After a while, he finally said: "That's fine too, if you appear, it won't be easy for people to investigate me."

Xu Yanlin knew who the person he was talking about was. It was simply Old Lady Mu and Marquis Mu.

"I want four parts red." It wouldn't be a problem for him to step in, but he would get half of the money.

This was not considered an outrageous thing, because as long as Xu Yanlin made a decision, he would definitely do everything personally. He was more intelligent with regards to money, so he was very confident that he would be able to take care of the business.

immediately started to discuss about the restaurant with Mu Chen. When Shen Jingli came back, he saw that they were discussing about the restaurant, so he occasionally added in a few sentences, giving some pointers on the restaurant's layout, the table and chairs, and very quickly, a general idea was discussed.

Xu Yanlin stared at Shen Jingli suspiciously, as if he was the fox demon who had turned into the shape of a human and confused the humans.

"Do you know a lot?" If he didn't know of his background, he would have thought that he came from some reputable merchant family, and some business ideas were simply easy to come by.

"Of course. It is said that I have outstanding talent and wisdom." One of his sisters opened a medicinal cuisine restaurant, while the other was in finance. He could still speak of some simple business ideas.

Looking at Shen Jingli's complacent look, Xu Yanlin's teeth were itching. Shen Jingli really overflowed with hatred just by giving him a little water, he didn't know how to be reserved at all.

"Aren't you going to get married yet?" Shen Jingli had a very good impression of Zhao Wenrui and knew that he had been waiting for Xu Yanlin the entire time, so he couldn't help but ask.

Xu Yanlin's ears suddenly turned red. He hid his embarrassment and drank a cup of tea before saying: "I'm still young, there's no need to get married so early."

"Other people at your age have kids running all over the place." He was a man, and he was not afraid of being delayed. However, Zhao Wenrui was a pair, if he did not quickly get married, he would be sent to the temple by his family, since everyone in this era valued his reputation, and having an unmarried pair would more or less have some effect on the marriage of his other brothers and sisters.

"What does the people from other families have to do with me?" He just didn't want to get married.

"…"

Seeing that he was not interested, Shen Jingli did not bother to persuade him anymore. After all, it was someone else's business, how could he care about that? He only cared about Zhao Wenrui a little.

Xu Yanlin continued to discuss matters of the court with Mu Chen, and then left.

When the lights were on and Shen Jingli was preparing to go to bed, Mu Chen mentioned about the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Me too?" Why would the Emperor invite a hundred officials to a banquet?

"Yes, you are my wife." He wanted everyone to know that he, Shen Jingli, was Mu Chen's wife, his only and most precious wife.

It was probably because he had watched too many palace games, when he mentioned the palace feast, a scene of a bunch of girls killing each other surfaced in Shen Jingli's mind, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Then what gift do I need to prepare?" Upon mentioning this, Shen Jingli seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly jumped off the bed, taking out all the things that had brought from the Jiang City, and finally found the few boxes of Screw Dai that he had received from Liu Hsingzu previously.

As Mu Chen watched him rummage through the boxes, he knew that Yun Che must have hidden good stuff. Without saying more, he sat on the side and watched, and as expected, Shen Jingli dragged a box out.

"What are these?"

In Shen Jingli's impression, it was from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and was paid for by the Persian Kingdom. Each pellet was worth ten gold, and was extremely rare, but in this dynasty, it was even rarer and more precious.

Mu Chen was a man, so he naturally didn't understand these women's things.

"This is Screw Dai. It's used for thrashing." Shen Jingli did not need to draw his eyebrows, so these things were very suitable for giving gifts.

Shen Jingli felt that this was a little too much, making it seem as if he was a rich man. He divided it up again and split it into six boxes, which meant that there was an increase in the quantity by half.

"..."

The next morning, all the women in Yang Family except for Old Lady Yang and Aunt Ying received a Screw Dai.

When Doctor Yang received the Screw Dress, she was simply dumbfounded. It was a Screw Dai that only imperial concubines could use, she was shocked for a moment, but then she returned the item to Jinglee, "Jinglee, this thing is too precious, Aunt cannot take it."

The price of a Screw Dai was ten gold taels, which was ten thousand taels of silver. Even the families of officials who had a good reputation spent three to four thousand taels of silver a month on them, so they had absolutely no money to afford such expensive items. Even if they had money to buy them, they had no place to sell them.

Hearing her mother's words, Yang Ningxin hurriedly took out the thing that was already hidden in her sleeves, and put it back on the table with a face full of reluctance.

"That's right, cousin. This Screw Dai is too valuable. We can't accept it." Yang Ningxi said with a pained face. Her eyes were still fixated on the Screw Dell, the Screw Dell she had only heard people talk about before. Now that it was right in front of her, how could she not be moved?2

Shen Jingli looked at them all, who were rejecting at one side and looking reluctant at the other, he couldn't help but smile and took Yang Ningxin's pill and stuffed it back into her hands, "Here, take this."

"But …" Yang Ningxin wanted to say something but hesitated and turned to look at her mother.

"But what 'but'? It's just a few spirals, what's there to refuse?"

A few spirals?

Yang Ningxin opened her eyes wide, feeling that her cousin was truly rich. He didn't know that his family's five daughters, four Daughter-in-law s and two madams, had a total of eleven Screw Dai, which was one hundred and ten thousand silvers, enough for dozens of people to use their Yang Family for a few years.

"Jinglee..."

"Aunty, don't refuse anymore. I got this from a Persian. It didn't cost too much money. I still have several boxes in my room."

Shen Jingli's tone was very tough, Doctor Yang knew that he could not reject it, and could only accept it.

Upon hearing that they could accept it, the three ladies gathered together and started chattering happily.

"If we send it over to Big Sister Fu and Elder Sister Xiu another day, they would definitely be shocked." Yang Ningxin was so happy that she could not wait to grab someone to show off.

He was so happy about just one screw. What a promising future.
