Silly Scholar's Wife

"Mu Juren, shall we go to the restaurant now?"

Because of Wang Qingquan's invitation, Zhang Cheng asked Mu Chenxi to go there with him.

"Ah."

Mu Chenxi put away her contemplative face, stood up and said with a smile, "Wait a minute, I'll go and talk to my wife."

"Okay." Zhang Cheng smiled.

He is not surprised by Mu Chenxi's behavior. He has long seen that the husband and wife value each other very much, but now he can't tell who is more important to each other.

"Daughter-in-law, Brother Zhang and I went to the restaurant."

Mu Chenxi found Zhao Huan and told him his whereabouts.The smile on his face remained the same, without the deepness and distress just now.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

After Zhao Huan finished speaking, he put down his things and got up to accompany Mu Chenxi to the restaurant, as he had promised.

"Need not."

Mu Chenxi pressed his shoulders, did not let Zhao Huan get up, and said: "Daughter-in-law, I am not a child, so I don't need you to accompany me."

Zhao Huan was a little dumbfounded, it wasn't because he was pestering him and didn't want to be separated from him, that's why he coaxed him to go to the restaurant with him!

With a serious face, Mu Chenxi told Zhao Huan solemnly, "I'm very independent, I can do things by myself, just don't worry."

"Well, I don't worry, Chenxi is the best."

Zhao Huan carefully observed his expression to see if what happened this morning cast a shadow on him, and found that Mu Chenxi was not as active as before.

I couldn't help but asked worriedly: "What's the matter, are you unhappy? Are you uncomfortable?"

He stretched out his hand to touch, touch, Mu Chenxi's forehead, and he grabbed it, "Daughter-in-law, I'm fine, don't worry."

Speaking of which, Mu Chenxi gave him another big smile, her eyes were innocent and full of childishness, and she said to Zhao Huan coquettishly: "I don't want my wife to accompany me, you are too lonely waiting for me outside, my heart aches when I think about it."

As he said that, he put his face on Zhao Huan's hand, and said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, eat well at home, and when I come back, I will give you a back massage and bring you delicious food."

"That's what you would say."

These few words touched Zhao Huan's heart again, and he couldn't help sighing: Mu Chenxi can always touch his heart, and is warmed by him all the time, life and death are reincarnated, it is the luckiest thing for me to meet him.

He rubbed Mu Chenxi's cheeks a few times, and said softly: "Then you go, I'll wait for you at home. Remember to drink less wine, you won't get drunk easily, I'll make you hangover soup, come back and have a drink It doesn't hurt."

"Well, daughter-in-law is the best."

Mu Chenxi cheered, and suddenly approached Zhao Huan, lowered her head and said affectionately against Zhao Huan's forehead: "My wife is the best, no one can compare to her."

Zhao Huan was taken aback, he didn't expect Mu Chenxi to approach him suddenly, it was the first time for him to act so intimately, and he didn't react immediately.

Mu Chenxi looked at Zhao Huan with blushing cheeks. Seeing him staring blankly at her, she felt more and more good about him and wanted to get closer to him.

But he still has something to do, thinking of this, he shook Zhao Huan's hand and said, "Daughter-in-law, I'm leaving, I'll be back soon."

Seeing him go out, Zhao Huan stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, feeling hot on his face, as if Mu Chenxi's breath was still in front of his eyes, and the heat wave that touched his skin lingered for a long time.

"Brother Mu, Brother Zhang, you are here."

Wang Qingquan and the others had already arrived at the restaurant and were waiting for them in the box on the second floor. When they saw their arrival, they all stood up to greet them.

"Sorry, I'm late, I kept you waiting."

Mu Chenxi cupped her hands and said polite words, not as casual and unrestrained as before, with a serious expression on her face.

"It's not too late, we came early."

Liu Wenqing was not surprised by his attitude, and said with a smile: "This afternoon, I invited Brother Wang and Brother Li to go out for a walk, and when I came back, I went directly to the restaurant to wait for you, so it was earlier."

He invited Mu Chenxi and the others to sit down, poured tea himself, and politely asked them to order, "We have already ordered a few dishes, I wonder if you don't have so many tastes, you can order a few more."

Zhang Cheng handed this matter directly to Mu Chenxi. He had never even been to a small restaurant, so he didn't know the dishes in this restaurant.

Mu Chenxi ordered a few dishes at random. Now he doesn't have the heart to think about food and drink. He keeps thinking about the day's affairs, fearing that Zhao Huan will be retaliated by Na Luo Er Shao if he is not at home.

According to the uncle butcher, Luo Ershao often bully men and women, and if he likes him, he will come to the house to accept someone as a concubine, and if he refuses, he will pester him endlessly.

If it weren't for his eldest brother Luo Dashao who needed fame in the imperial examination, he might have come to snatch people directly.That's it, and there is no shortage of intimidating things behind the scenes.

"Brother Mu, why don't you speak?"

Seeing that he was silent and acting differently than usual, Li Shaojie asked strangely.

When he said this, Wang Qingquan and Liu Wenqing, who were chatting happily, also looked over, wondering why he was so quiet today, and even that bright smile was gone forever.

Mu Chenxi met their eyes, his eyes gradually became darker, and said: "Some private matters should not be opened, but living in this small town, the source of information is relatively closed, so I want to ask Brother Li and Brother Wang."

"Brother Mu, what news do you want to know?" Wang Qingquan asked curiously.

He didn't know much about the affairs of the county seat. If he knew, he would definitely not hide it. He just hoped that what Mu Chenxi was inquiring into was not the secrets of other people's homes, or some official affairs, which would be very embarrassing for him.

"I want to know how the county lieutenant is like, how is his reputation as an official?"

Mu Chenxi looked at Wang Qingquan and Li Shaojie indifferently, his face was so calm that it was impossible to figure out his intentions, but there was little seriousness in his eyes.

"this."

Wang Qingquan couldn't help looking at Li Shaojie, it's not impossible to say these words, Mu Chenxi can find out from others, of course they are all superficial.

He just didn't know whether to tell more details, whether to spread the news on the surface, or to dig deeper and tell Mu Chenxi some concealment.

"Why is Brother Mu interested in the county captain? Is there anything related to it?"

Li Shaojie received Wang Qingquan's eyes, and looked at Mu Chenxi with a slight smile, as if he was caring like an ordinary friend.

Mu Chenxi thought there was no need to hide this matter, so she immediately told what happened today, especially Luo Ershao's nature and reputation.

"This matter could have passed, but with his nature and past style, he will definitely not let it go. I can't passively wait for him to make trouble and put my daughter-in-law in danger."

Mu Chenxi glanced at Li Shaojie and Wang Qingquan, and said, "There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. Since he is a hidden danger, we must find a way to eliminate it, and we cannot be in a passive position."

"Hi!"

Wang Qingquan shook his head and sighed, looking at Mu Chenxi with a trace of regret, "If anyone says that Brother Mu was injured and became stupid, I will have to slap my mouth."

Because of the rumors, he didn't look like Mu Chenxi, which caused him to be embarrassed in front of Mu Chenxi again and again. He had never been so embarrassed before.

"Is the county lieutenant related to Second Young Master Luo?" Li Shaojie asked.

"It's his uncle. Usually he used his status as a county lieutenant to show off his might, and even the town yamen servants didn't dare to take care of his affairs."

Mu Chenxi explained the relationship thoroughly, "If the county lieutenant really shields him and helps the evildoers, I will definitely sue him and not give up. I can't watch this villain continue to roam free, causing people in the town to panic when they see him."

"In the beginning, he really acted mischievously relying on the county lieutenant and his family background, but after the two lawsuits, the county lieutenant suppressed him, and the family strictly prohibited him from doing anything wrong again."

At this time, Liu Wenqing said weakly: "But his grandmother, because his eldest brother is studying abroad all the year round, dotes on his ignorant baby Gada who stays at home. Come to the door to accept marriage, if you don't agree, you will not stop pestering, let out the wind to ruin people's reputation."

"Hey!" Liu Wenqing sighed: "Who dares to oppose him, come to ask him to marry him. They are all honest common people, and they can only marry far away in mountain villages. It is difficult to talk about marriage in the town. The men leave their homes or leave their homes. Ask someone to make peace, otherwise it will be difficult to get married."

"The county captain's reputation is not bad, and I haven't heard of any violations of law and discipline."

Hearing this, Li Shaojie briefly introduced the county lieutenant, but there was no notoriety, and they didn't know about his nephew Luo Ershao.

"Some things, of course, will not be passed on."

Liu Wenqing didn't take it seriously and said: "He has done bad things or shielded his nephew, can it be spread to the outside world? Although Luo Er Shao didn't do anything serious, but the behavior of this toad, toad, and toad is really a headache. The town Several families were victimized, and their sons and daughters left the town. There is no way to appeal, and there is no evidence of actual victimization, so they can only suffer from silence.”

"He just came to ask for a marriage. He didn't rob, beat or hurt anyone. How could he sue him?"

Mu Chenxi sneered and said, "I don't know if it's Luo Ershao or their family who came up with such a way to make people feel helpless and unable to sue him for his evil deeds. We can only bear the consequences and let Luo Ershao Happy, let people know how unprovoked he is."

"that."

After Wang Qingquan heard these words, he thought for a moment and said to Mu Chenxi: "If that Second Young Master Luo is really looking for trouble, I can talk to my father and ask him to make peace with the county captain."

"That's it."

Mu Chenxi smiled, "I originally wanted to sue the government, but I thought my wife's reputation would be bad, so he wouldn't be willing to do so. I also wanted to go directly to the Luo family to ask for an explanation, but listen to Liu Brother said so, with the protection of his grandmother, whether it is really possible to stop and not take revenge is another matter."

Mu Chenxi didn't want to talk about this matter anymore. Like Liu Wenqing said, it's impossible for the county magistrate not to protect her.

He keenly felt that the attitudes of Li Shaojie and Wang Qingquan were different for a moment, although he didn't know why, he didn't want to plead with them.

"Listening to what you said, Second Young Master Luo is indeed a dandy, but he hasn't reached the point of being vicious. Let his family strictly control him, and maybe it will change slowly."

Li Shaojie said slowly: "This kind of lustful person usually doesn't have any great skills, but he relies on his family and his grandmother's favor, and he just takes a chance and doesn't know how to repent."

"right."

At this moment, Xiao Er brought up the dishes one by one, and Mu Chenxi changed the subject and said, "Brother Zhang and I are not good at drinking, let's have a slow drink, and you can enjoy yourself."

"Alcohol is developed through practice. Brother Mu and Brother Zhang are not good at drinking, so let's get together a few more times and gradually develop it."

Wang Qingquan's eyes were complicated, and he glanced at Li Shaojie with some disapproval on his expression, and his attitude towards Mu Chenxi was more enthusiastic, as if he wanted to make up for something.

Li Shaojie shook his head slightly, turning a blind eye to Wang Qingquan's complaints, just continued to laugh with everyone as if there were no such things just now.

Although the atmosphere was warm, Liu Wenqing and Zhang Cheng still felt different. The scene was awkward for a moment, but Mu Chenxi showed nothing unusual, her expression was light and she occasionally chuckled to participate in their conversation, and she became inexplicably calmer.

…………

"young married woman."

The party ended, Mu Chenxi and the others went downstairs, and before they reached the door, he saw Zhao Huan standing not far from the restaurant.

He suddenly smiled, ran to Zhao Huan, and said with a gentle smile while holding his sign: "Daughter-in-law, I knew you would come to pick me up."

"Ah."

Zhao Huan saw that his cheeks were flushed and his eyes were misty and intoxicated, knowing that he was a bit drunk, so he took his hand and said with a smile: "I know you don't like drinking, and you don't have a lot of alcohol, so I came here specially to see if you are drunk."

"Not drunk, not drunk."

At this time, Mu Chenxi's eyes were clear with a hint of haze, but his mind was clear but his emotions were out of control, a little excited and a little uncontrollable.

He didn't admit that he was drunk, he was very sober and understood everything, how could he get drunk after just drinking such a small cup!

Mu Chenxi didn't like to drink, and promised Zhao Huan not to drink too much, so she didn't refill after one glass, and only drank some out of politeness and socializing needs.

Mu Chenxi scoffed at the argument that how can a man not drink a sip of wine, he should be full of pride and never get drunk. If he doesn't drink, he is not a man?

Just now he hated Wang Qingquan and the others, who of you can say that I am not a man?Even if I don't drink a sip of wine, even if I look more handsome than you, which eye can tell that I am not a man?

I have what you have, and apart from drinking, there is nothing better than you.Conversely, apart from this, what point are you much better than me?

If it is really a comparison of who is worthy of being a man, you guys talk about what are the advantages, and see where you are better than me?Apart from drinking and having fun, I really don't find any difference compared to you guys.

"Yes, you are not drunk, shall we go home?" Zhao Huan said softly.

"Well, go home, let's go home."

Mu Chenxi shook her head, turned around and waved to Wang Qingquan and the others, leaving two words: "Let's go." Then she took Zhao Huan and walked home.

The two stood side by side, their figures dragged for a long time under the moonlight, slowly blending together, cuddling each other as if turning into one person.

Wang Qingquan and the others could only hear a sentence from the wind, "Daughter-in-law, I'll go home and beat your back."
