Countryside Romance

After saying this, Ji Ge began to laugh.

He thought back to the past when Bai Yunqing would always receive a large number of gifts at the seventh night. That scented bag, handkerchief, jade pendant, and other things they loved. In these past few years, they would probably be able to fill the entire room.

Unsatisfied with Ji Ge's heartless attitude, Bai Yunqing recalled the rumors about Ji Ge and the lady in the capital and laughed.

"Hmph, that's right. I am someone who is free from worry, pursuing nature, magnanimous in my heart. I will not worry about the matters of the world just because my beloved girl is too far away from me, but you are different. Sigh, before I fall into that kind of situation, I want to properly appreciate my life and work hard to get into that kind of situation. You must not allow yourself to take a fancy to a certain lady, and yet, because you cannot compare to her, you retreat. "

Bai Yunqing's words had ridiculed Ji Ge from beginning to end.

How could Ziggy not recognize it?

However, he knew that his heart and that young lady's heart were one and the same. The only reason he couldn't be together was because of his status, so he didn't worry too much, because he believed that he would definitely be able to unafraid and marry her!

Ji Ge ignored Baiyun Qing's sarcastic remarks and turned to serious matters.

He asked:

"The situation in the capital seems to be very different from before I left. Do you know the reason?"

While the two of them were discussing political matters, Muyun also received Lin Jinyan's forgiveness.

The two of them spoke a few intimate words to each other.

A servant came forward and said:

"Lunch has been prepared. Two esteemed guests, please move to the hall and prepare to eat."

After the servant said this, he gestured for the two of them to follow him.

When the two of them reached heaven, sure enough, food was already laid out on the table.

With only four of them, they had to finish these ten dishes. Mu Yun couldn't help but sigh at the Bai Residence's extravagant waste of food.

At this moment, Bai Yunqing and Ji Ge came in from the other door.

The four of them sat down at the table.

Bai Yunqing had spent quite a bit of effort thinking about Mu Yun. It was only after asking Ji Ge about this meal that he was able to figure out what it was.

When Lin Jinyan saw Mu Yun's favorite dishes on the table, her face became serious.

Then, as if he thought of something, he smiled. He first picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork and put it into Mu Yun's bowl. Then, he picked up all the dishes Mu Yun liked and put them into her bowl.

Mu Yun somewhat shyly refused.

"Do you want to give me another pinch? Eat it yourself."

As Mu Yun spoke, she also gave Lin Jinyan a few chopsticks.

Bai Yunqing unintentionally saw Lin Jinyan's provocative gaze and couldn't help but laugh. She secretly thought that she had already given up on Mu Yun, but this brat still continued to target her.

Mu Yun didn't know Lin Jinyan's thoughts. She had unintentionally showed the affection on the faces of others.

Ji Ge already had someone he loved in his heart, so he naturally wouldn't care about it.

Bai Yunqing, on the other hand, had eaten a ton of dog food.

By the time Mu Yun realized that the way she and Lin Jinyan fed each other was somewhat ambiguous, it was already too late.

She first glanced at Bai Yunqing and then slightly scolded Lin Jinyan, hinting him not to do such an embarrassing thing anymore.

Lin Jinyan, on the other hand, did what she wanted to do the most.

After the meal, Bai Yunqing brought the three of them to visit the Bai Clan.

At the beginning, Mu Yun was even able to follow Bai Yunqing's speed and picture part of the Bai residence's structure into her mind. However, after they passed by several of the walkways, Mu Yun felt dizzy and unable to distinguish which direction was which and which direction was which.

She also had the general layout of the Gu Residence in the town in her head. When she visited the Bai Residence, she realized the difference between the two: the Gu Residence was a large three-way house with three courtyards, divided into the small courtyard that Gu Lingbo's mother had lived in alone — now that Madam Gu had separated, she occupied this small courtyard; the courtyard where Gu Lingbo lived; and the small courtyard where the other wives lived in the west.

The Bai Clan was similar in structure, but because Bai Yunqing lived alone, the west and east courtyards were transformed into guest areas and places for books and poems respectively.

This was only the address of Bai Yunqing's personal residence.

Although she felt a little dizzy, if she followed the route from her memories and returned, she would definitely be able to distinguish it. Because the scenery next to every veranda in the Bai Clan was different, she was able to clearly depict the scenery next to each veranda.

This was a difference between the Gu Residence and the Bai Residence. Every single scenery on the Gu Residence's veranda was constructed from layers of huge trees, shrubs, and grass. Therefore, every single scenery was similar and it was easy to get lost.

The scenery of the Bai Clan was based on the changes of the four seasons. The selection of trees, shrubs and grass was matched with the four seasons, which allowed each landscape to display a different style in the four seasons. However, there were faults in the four seasons in some of the Gu Residence's scenes. Sometimes, there would be an unpleasant scene of decline.

The Bai Clan's main house was not here.

It seemed that Bai Yunqing was not on good terms with her own uncle. After a heated argument, Bai Yunqing left the house angrily and bought a house for himself to live in alone.

What was surprising was that Bai Yunqing, who was known for her talent, did not fall. Even if he left the family and lost the family's support, he would still be able to create his own world in the capital.

Although his experience was different from Jago's, Jago had also broken away from his father's support and had started his own family. Therefore, the two of them understood each other very well.

Ji Ge had secretly told Mu Yun about these things when he was in the middle of a fight.

After strolling around the Bai residence, the few of them discussed the matter of Mu Yun opening a tailor shop for a while.

At this moment, Lin Jinyan felt that what Mu Yun said about her and Bai Yunqing's conversation was very speculative.

As long as it was an idea that Mu Yun suddenly thought of, Bai Yunqing would be able to immediately feel the beauty of it. Moreover, she would be able to optimize, expand, and increase Mu Yun's idea's selling point or interest.

The more they chatted, the more engrossed they became.

Lin Jinyan could not help but have an unsightly expression on her face.

When Ji Ge noticed this, he touched Mu Yun's arm. Only then did Mu Yun realize that she had ignored Lin Jinyan.

She gave an embarrassed smile and said:

"Today at the Bai Clan, I benefited quite a bit. Since it's time for dinner, I'll show my hand and offer my disgrace to everyone. Jinyan, come to the kitchen and help me."

Lin Jinyan actually didn't know a thing about the kitchen. Even when she was helping Mu Yun in the snack shop, she knew a lot about the skill in making snacks, but that was just talk on paper. In actual practice, Lin Jinyan was simply a novice.

However, he was still quite good at slaughtering chickens and peeling off their skin when it came to handling meat and the like.

After Mu Yun had served three meat, two vegetables, and a soup, Bai Yunqing looked at the rich dishes on the table and couldn't help but exclaim:

"Mu Yun, you're just too talented! They were not flexible and were extremely skilled in combat. Sigh, I am truly envious of your husband. "

As Bai Yunqing spoke, she secretly glanced at Lin Jinyan.

Since he already knew that Mu Yun had married someone, he could be considered a gentleman and wouldn't try to rob someone of their love. Furthermore, since he was on good terms with Mu Yun, he naturally couldn't go against Mu Yun's husband. Thus, he wanted to please Lin Jinyan and get along with him.

Lin Jinyan saw Bai Yunqing's gaze from the corner of her eyes, but pretended not to notice it. She only looked at Mu Yun, who was sitting beside her.

Ji Ge swept a glance at the dishes cooked by Mu Yun, then calmly looked at Lin Jinyan, whose lips were constantly smirking.

Although Bai Yunqing didn't see anything wrong with the dishes, he knew that there must be something behind them the moment he saw Ji Ge and Lin Jinyan's reactions. However, he was a sensible person and didn't fully explain it.

After the three of them had their fill, they all felt that the sky had no choice but to leave. Other than Lin Jinyan, the other three were reluctant to part with their food.

Bai Yunqing even sent the three of them to the door. He did not turn around even when the three of them were five meters away.

He looked at Mu Yun's figure and shook his head.

From his point of view, Mu Yun was a woman that suited his taste. If he could choose this woman to spend his life with, he wouldn't have any regrets in this life.

He broke up with his family because of a marriage.

At the age of marriage, his eldest uncle had chosen a marriage for her. On the surface, it seemed that the marriage was indeed very good. But at one of the feasting parties, he met the woman by chance and met her. Although he admired the woman's talent, he did not appreciate his thoughts.

This woman was too conservative. She firmly believed that her son was the eldest and filial piety was the first. In her eyes, there was nothing more important than family.

Bai Yunqing did not agree with him. He felt that if a person was blindly loyal to his father and was filial, but if the Sovereign and the Father were to make a mistake, would they also continue to be so ignorant?

The girl listened to his rhetorical question, then after a moment of silence, she said:

"Yes."

Bai Yunqing only felt a sense of disgust.

When he returned home, he firmly opposed the marriage.

While Eldest Uncle had hinted that this marriage was very good for the family, and his father had strongly supported Eldest Uncle's decision.

He was very frustrated and felt that if he married this girl, he would have to give up everything for the family in the future. If his father or any of his elders made a mistake, this girl wouldn't stand by his side to oppose them.

Such a woman was not what he wanted the most.

The woman he wanted was like Mu Yun, who could take charge of herself.

Without him, she would not immediately be unable to survive as if she had lost her pillar of support. And with him, she would not be able to completely hide her talents, but would instead contribute her talents and abilities to him. This kind of woman was commonly known as Wangfu.

It wasn't an idea he was born with.

He had also thought that no matter what had happened, his wife should obey her husband's orders regardless of whether she was right or wrong.

This thought changed when he met a woman while traveling at the age of ten.

At that time, all of them had gone to a place in the south where they could stay for the summer.

At that time, he was young and liked to follow a group of wild children from the village. They often came to the entrance of the village to act like generals and bandits.

At noon, he could see a beautiful woman carrying a basket to the village entrance, and he could see them smiling.

From what those wild children said, this woman was the village flower, and also the fairy that they should not offend.

Thus, even though it was noon and they were so hungry that they were about to collapse on the ground, they still had to persevere and wait for that woman. They would not leave until she had waited for her husband to hand the meal to the man and smile at them again.

At that time, he had just learned about matters of love. He had a deep impression of that woman, and he especially liked her smile.

However, not long after, he no longer saw that woman. Only after asking that group of wild children did he find out that the woman's husband had an accident when he was out and died. That girl had been washing her face with tears all day long, not eating a single meal every day. Afterwards, she had even accidentally lost the child she was carrying for less than three months.

This time she was completely crazy.

Half a month after that, when he and his child were playing in front of the village gate, he could see the woman wandering around the village frantically over a dirty food box, her hair disheveled and her face unkempt.

Whenever she saw a man coming over, she would grab his sleeve and ask:

"Master, is that you? Are you back? "You finally came to find me …"

Most of the time, the men would shake their heads and wave away, avoiding her touch as if it were a plague. Sometimes, there were also men who would gently comfort her and take her home.

The last time he had seen the woman, she seemed to have returned to normal and was waiting at the entrance to the village with a food box on her shoulder. But she did not wait a day for her husband to come. When night fell, the hot food fell to the ground and the woman left without a second thought.
