Chapter 246 Life is slow, and there are answers
Mu Yao stared at the middle-aged couple in the room, and her small hands unconsciously clenched slightly under her wide sleeves.
The man was dressed in a green shirt, with a full forehead and prominent eyebrows. His temples were slightly gray, but it could not hide his handsome appearance.
She has a prominent Adam's apple, a slender neck, and a temperament as elegant as a chrysanthemum, exuding a majestic and righteous aura.
The faint smile on the corners of his lips was 80% similar to Yu Heng's.
She tilted her head slightly and looked to his side.
The woman was also dressed in a green gown, and looked dignified and elegant. Her black hair was tied up high, without a single white hair. The tassels on the green hairpin swayed slightly with the slight movement, adding a touch of agility to her face. At this moment, she was staring at Mu Yao with a smile, not willing to blink.
"Miss, what's your name?" Zhu Jixiang asked gently. She had a series of questions in her mind, which were being sorted automatically according to importance.
Yu Heng took Mu Yao's hand, took her forward and said, "Dad, Mom, this is my wife, Mu Yao."
"Uncle and aunt are doing well." Mu Yao quickly glanced at Yu Heng and obediently performed a standard bow.
Yu Wanzhou said yes repeatedly. The girl was very pretty and had a gentle personality, which pleased him very much.
I was woken up by Yu Jiu's shouting in the morning, saying that she was a fairy from heaven. Now I see that this beauty is not only comparable to a fairy from heaven, but even better than that.
Zhu Jixiang waved to Mu Yao kindly, motioning her to sit next to him.
Mu Yao was a little reserved, her beautiful eyes flickered twice, and she was pulled over by Yu Heng to sit down.
Ten breaths passed and the room was so quiet that even the sound of one's own breathing could be heard clearly.
Yu Guanxiong could no longer sit still, fearing that his daughter-in-law's focused eyes would scare the little girl, so he turned to look at Yu Jiu and asked, "Where's the lotus leaf soup?"
"Yes, yes, yes, look at my memory!" Yu Jiu retracted his gaze, turned around and walked out of the house.
Mu Yao narrowed her eyes slightly and looked around secretly, but she didn't see any servants, which made her feel puzzled.
Seeing his daughter-in-law's humble and submissive look, Zhu Jixiang couldn't help but joked, "You are too docile, I'm afraid you will suffer. Did Jiyun bully you?"
"Mom, what are you talking about!" Yu Heng raised his voice instantly, his ears slightly red. His mother seemed to have thought about the question the other way around.
"No, no, Jiyun is very nice to me and doesn't bully me." Mu Yao quickly spoke up to defend him.
"Oh? What's the good idea?" Zhu Jixiang asked in a lively manner.
Mu Yao paused for a moment, and quickly organized her words in her mind.
"Jixiang, is it normal for you to ask a child like this?" Yu Wanzhou said speechlessly.
So my mother-in-law's name is Jixiang? This is a good name, elegant and simple. Mu Yao secretly memorized it.
"What can't be asked?" Zhu Jixiang was dissatisfied.
Didn't her mother-in-law ask the same question when she came to the house? Why is it that it's not okay now that it's her turn? Why?
Zhu Jixiang had imagined the appearance of his future daughter-in-law many times, but he had never thought she would be so beautiful. He took off the white jade from his waist and put it in Mu Yao's hand and said with a smile: "Three linked white jade rings, blessed by the ancestors. You can take it for protection."
The jade pendant is of high quality, delicate and lustrous, with three interlocking rings, exquisite design and unique shape. It can also be disassembled and changed, which is very interesting. Mu Yao held the warm white jade, her eyes filled with surprise. It was so beautiful that she fell in love with it at first sight.
"Aunt, it's too expensive! I can't accept it!" Mu Yao really wanted it, but she felt embarrassed to accept such an expensive gift on her first visit.
Zhu Jixiang clapped his hands and laughed heartily: "Take it. No matter how expensive it is, your aunt will not give it away."
Yu Heng looked at the jade pendant and said with a smile, "Yaoyao, my mother gave it to you, so just keep it. The three linked rings on this piece of white jade represent heaven, earth, and man. Wearing it can increase your luck and drive away evil spirits. It is an excellent piece of jade for protection."
After hearing this, Mu Yao felt it was too hot to handle and dared not take it.
"Aunt, what will you do with the amulet jade you gave me? You should take it back."
At this time, Yu Wanzhou spoke up: "Yaoyao, your aunt doesn't need this. You are Jiyun's wife, there is nothing you can't get."
"Your uncle is right. The thing our family has the most is spiritual jade. You don't have to feel any psychological burden." Yu Guanxiong said with a smile on his face.
The girl is young, but her words are measured and her actions are sufficient. She has ambition in her eyes, a pure heart and a gentle demeanor, which is rare. The ancestor's preference for Yu Heng is not a little bit!
It was hard to refuse such a kind offer, so Mu Yao had to accept it with a blushing face.
Yu Heng took the jade pendant and hung it on her, and there was an extra touch of contentment in his every move.
At this moment, three servants came steadily over carrying lotus leaf soup, and Yu Jiu followed behind.
Yu Guanxiong glared at Yu Jiu, then turned to look at Mu Yao with a smile and said, "Try it quickly, we picked it ourselves. The water in the lake is connected to the spring in the back mountain. I grow blue ice chrysanthemums upstream. Eating lotus pods grown in this water is good for your body."
"Blue Ice Chrysanthemum? Is it the Blue Ice Chrysanthemum known as the Yunqi Divine Grass?" Mu Yao was shocked and was a little reluctant to eat it.
This magical herb has the effect of clearing the eyes, refreshing the brain and relieving summer heat, and it is very delicate and difficult to raise. She once analyzed the ingredients of the Bamboo Dew Pill. If her guess was correct, one of the important ingredients in refining this pill was blue ice chrysanthemum.
"Yaoyao is knowledgeable and well-informed, worthy of being Li Changan's daughter!" Yu Guanxiong praised.
"Li Changan? The current Li Taifu?" Yu Wanzhou paused with the silver spoon in his hand and looked up at Mu Yao. Suddenly, something flashed through his mind, but it was so fast that he couldn't catch it.
Zhu Jixiang reacted quickly. She was stunned for a moment, looked at Mu Yao in disbelief, and then glanced at her father-in-law. When she saw Yu Guanxiong smiling and nodding at her, her mind buzzed. The first thing she thought of was not Mr. Wu Liu's identity, but Mu Yao's title of "Yunqi's No. 1 Beauty".
I heard that she has had several husbands.
Zhu Jixiang's face turned pale, he crossed his fingers and squeezed them tightly, then asked in a calm tone as much as possible: "Yaoyao, how many husbands do you have?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly became quiet again.
Yu Guanxiong, Yu Jiu and Yu Wanzhou suddenly stopped moving and looked towards Mu Yao with different expressions.
Yu Heng's face tensed, and just as he was about to speak, he saw his mother raised her left hand and pressed it down.
The sudden question came with such force that Mu Yao's heartbeat suddenly sank.
She knew what her mother-in-law was worried about, and after a struggle in her heart, she told the truth: "I have ten husbands."
The atmosphere in the room became strange. The elders present would never have thought that Yu Heng would have chosen so many wives and husbands.
Especially Yu Wanzhou. He thought Zhu Jixiang had three husbands, which was too many. Now his daughter-in-law has several times more husbands. How should he feel about this?
Seeing that his parents' faces looked a little stiff, Yu Heng quickly asked someone to present the gift that Mu Yao had brought.
But at this moment, their minds were all on Yu Heng's marriage. Yu Wanzhou's eyes were empty, and his thoughts were drifting farther and farther in the air.
Although wishing for good luck is understandable, it is inevitable to feel distressed and melancholy as it concerns her son's lifelong happiness. With Mu Yao's looks, her nine husbands must be the best among people. The determination and protection in her son's eyes made her fall into deep entanglement.
Yu Guanxiong stroked his white beard fiercely, calmed down and said with blessing: "Every step you take is a joy, and every little thing in life is a blessing. Live a good life. Grandpa is counting on you!"
He liked his grandson's wife. It was almost impossible to find someone better than Mu Yao even if he traveled all over the world.
Upon hearing this, Yu Wanzhou and Zhu Jixiang looked at each other for a few moments, and finally swallowed their concerns.
Mu Yao felt bitter in her heart. She had forced her relationship with Yu Heng. She felt a strong sense of guilt rising from the bottom of her heart, wave after wave, endless. Yu Guanxiong's words moved her even more.
My thoughts fell into silence, and I had no idea how I left Qingnang Manor.
On the way back, Yu Heng still had a smile on his face, and his big hand held her small hand tightly from beginning to end.
"Jiyun, I know you have no intention of reveling in the secular world, but I was the one who dragged you into it. Do you blame me?" Mu Yao stared at Yu Heng, with countless emotions surging in her eyes.
"Mountains and seas will have their own time to return, wind and rain will have their own reunion, everything is fate, it just arrives as expected. I have never blamed you, nor have I ever regretted it. Just like grandpa said, Xiaoman is a blessing, we just need to live a good and stable life, you don't need to worry about other things." Yu Hengjun's face was calm and his eyes were firm.
Once the lamp of the heart is lit, there will be no regrets.
Whether it is fire or smoke, just do your best.
Life is slow and has its own answers.
