Chapter 695 Chapter 695
During the ten days Huang Zhi stayed at the Mu family, apart from paying his respects to the elders, he rarely saw Mu Yunzhi.
After the engagement was cancelled, Huang Zhi also noticed that his cousin was cold towards him.
The embroidery work that I used to do myself is no longer seen.
Extra care was rarely seen. Every day, Huang Zhi could only recite poems and write couplets with Mu's son, or go out for fun.
Occasionally when they asked about Mu Yunzhi, Mu Yunzhi's brothers began to tease him.
"Why, you missed me after not seeing me for a few days?"
Huang Zhi shook his head, his face flushed, but he still asked the question in his heart, "Is sister Yunzhi accompanying aunt in the inner courtyard?"
The Mu brothers threw their heads back and laughed.
"Of course not."
Huang Zhi looked at his cousins with a puzzled look on his face.
One of the younger ones spoke honestly, "My eldest sister is in charge of the greenery of the two courtyards. She has to finish the planting before the cold winter. These days, she has been working with my father from morning till night, working day and night. It's very hard."
The end of a sentence.
Huang Zhi suddenly realized.
It was Mu Yunzhi's cousin who looked at him with a little surprise and patted his shoulder. "Third cousin, you are now a Jinshi, you should not be such a pedantic person. Yunzhi has made some achievements in planting green plants and gardening, so you won't be disgusted by this, right?"
"of course not!"
Huang Zhi immediately cupped his hands and denied it, "I admire your ability so much, how can I hate you? You are joking, cousin."
"It's a pity that Yunzhi is a girl, otherwise she wouldn't need to get married. She has some skills in this area, better than us brothers."
Huang Zhi was stunned for a moment.
He thought that many women in this world grew up in the boudoir until they reached marriageable age, and then moved from one backyard to another.
Start a life of being filial to parents-in-law, supporting husband and raising children.
But now it seems that among the women he meets, there seem to be fewer traditional women like his mother and sister-in-law.
The funeral of Prince An was scheduled for the twenty-second day of the twelfth lunar month, and after that day, there would be another three months of mourning.
Ordinary people obeyed, but the marriage between the Huang and Mu families must not take place until after February in the spring.
The date set by the Huang family was February 26th.
On this day, an auspicious date was written on the almanac, and a master was asked to write a comment. The birth dates of Huang Zhi and Mu Yunzhi, as well as the zodiac signs of their closest relatives, were also reported.
We chose the auspicious day of February 26th.
He just said that if there were any brothers or sisters whose zodiac sign was tiger, Mu Yunzhi would just avoid them when she went out.
Huang Zhi brought the imperial edict requesting a date and went to the Mu family together with the elders of the Huang family to report.
The Mu family seemed satisfied and confirmed the date. The two families set the wedding date again, and everyone was filled with joy.
Except Mu Yunzhi.
She and her uncle were busy decorating the new courtyard, working in wind and rain, and even her sister and sister-in-law in the house were stunned.
"Take a good rest. Although it is winter, it is not cold here. It is sunny, so don't get sunburned."
Mu Yunzhi didn't take it seriously, smiled and continued eating.
She hadn't had a proper hot meal during the day, so she was eating anxiously at this moment in the evening.
Looking at a house full of girls, I feel so distressed.
"How can a woman do a man's job every day? It's so hard and not worth it."
After hearing this, Mu Yunzhi put down her bowl and chopsticks, paused for a moment, thought of Song Guanzhou, and talked about it with her sisters-in-law.
This was the first time that everyone heard about Song Guanzhou's story and they immediately became interested.
"Is it so powerful?"
Can swim to save people, and can also do math——
"That young lady, if my sisters-in-law and sisters are lucky enough to meet her, they will definitely be amazed. Not only is she extremely beautiful, but her demeanor is also something that people will envy, yet it is so far away."
"Uh..., would her husband mind?"
Do you mind?
Mu Yunzhi recalled that on the day of her uncle's birthday, the uncles went to the house but not to the inner courtyard, so she did not see the young lady's elegance.
"The fourth young master is the youngest Jinshi in Dalong. He is handsome and has a promising future. But he dotes on the fourth young lady very much. But now the young lady has no children, and he doesn't even have a maid or concubine in his house."
These words caused the woman from the Mu family to be a little surprised.
"If you don't have children, no matter how much you love them, it won't work. Sister, you must not learn from the fourth young master's wife, who married in February and had a baby at the end of the year. That's the most important thing."
Mu Yunzhi picked up the bowl and chopsticks again, biting the rice, but she couldn't say anything perfunctorily.
She and Huang Zhi are now separated by mountains and seas, and I'm afraid they will never be at peace in their lifetime.
As for children, she believed that under the care of her uncle and aunt, no matter how cruel Huang Zhi was, he would give her a son or a daughter.
That's it.
When others get married, the young girl feels shy.
She didn't dare tell her sisters at home about the pain she went through during those darkest hours at her uncle's house. Now looking back at Huang Zhi, he was just like that.
After dinner, the sisters had tea together.
Suddenly, Mu Yunzhi smiled faintly, "I see that young lady is not troubled by this. Wherever she goes, she is like a beam of bright and warm sunshine, shining on everyone. No matter how big the problem is, I will forget it when I see her."
Hey!
"Sister, you are so fond of that young lady. When you marry to the capital in the future, your sister-in-law and sisters will go and see her for themselves."
Mu Yunzhi had a smile on her lips, as if she was very happy when she thought of Song Guanzhou calling her Sister Mu all the time.
"Sister-in-law and sisters are coming to the mansion. I will send a letter to invite the young lady to come. She has an easy-going personality, is lively and intelligent, and sister-in-law and sisters will definitely like her."
Huang Zhi and his cousin from the Mu family stood at the door together and listened to Mu Yunzhi's words.
Mu Yunshen of the Mu family became curious and whispered to Huang Zhi, "Don't look at Yunzhi's usual dignified appearance, but she has her own pride. Does my cousin know someone who can get her praise?"
A smile appeared on Huang Zhi's lips.
He nodded slightly, "She is the fourth young lady of the Zhenguogong family and the only daughter of the former Song Dynasty scholar."
Hey!
When Mu Yunshen heard this story, he immediately shook his head and laughed, "With such a family background, and being the only daughter of Grand Secretary Song, it's no wonder that she gets along well with Yunzhi."
Huang Zhi shook his head.
"She has a wild personality, bold behavior, and is quite controversial. However, I was a little surprised that I became close friends with Sister Yunzhi after meeting her for the first time."
But when he thought about the woman asking him to lead the way to Full Moon Tower, he suddenly felt it was not surprising.
Zhu Baoyue, a prostitute who was widely talked about in the capital, had her gate smashed by her in the first month of the year. People thought that the two of them were incompatible.
Who would have thought…
On that full-moon night, in the backyard of the Man Yue Tower, Zhu Baoyue treated this fairy woman with such reverence.
The maid came to report that the eldest son and the cousin had arrived.
Mu Yunzhi put down the teacup and stood up with her sisters-in-law. Everyone looked towards the door, but she kept her head down and remained silent.
In this world, women have no right to shout: I don’t want to marry you anymore.
