Chapter 121: Do it because you want to
Listening to Mu Jiaojiao's words of trust, Liu Nian felt inexplicably overwhelmed with emotion. As a man, he definitely wanted to achieve great things and become a noble or prime minister.
Now that Mu Jiaojiao asked him to go down this path, he also wanted to try how far he could go. Just like what his master said, do your best and leave the rest to fate!
"Liu Nian will definitely do his best to live up to the master's expectations!"
Liu Nian stood up, bowed to Mu Jiaojiao, and then with a firm look in his eyes, he solemnly made a promise to Mu Jiaojiao.
"Liu Nian, I hope that it is you who wants to take the imperial examination, to enter the imperial court, and to compete with the chosen ones of Dayu in the ups and downs of the court, rather than me expecting you to do it."
Mu Jiaojiao looked at the man who stood up in front of her and had become much thinner, with a gradually more handsome and upright figure, and said in a slightly stern tone.
After listening to Mu Jiaojiao's words word by word, Liu Nian stood there in silence for a long time. There was emotion in his eyes at first, and then it turned into determination.
"Master, Nian wants to take part in the imperial examination, enter the imperial court of Yudu, and stir up the storm."
As his eyes became firm, he looked at Mu Jiaojiao with a slightly excited expression on his face, and then said to Mu Jiaojiao, he did it because he wanted to.
"okay!"
Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao smiled slightly, her tone still lazy, but her expression was full of appreciation.
Seeing this, Liu Nian felt relaxed as if he had thought things through.
After so many years of drug torture, he actually became depressed and a bit self-degraded, but after this moment, he seemed to have gotten rid of this decadence and self-loathing from the bottom of his heart.
Jiang Jin kept his eyes on Mu Jiaojiao from beginning to end. He looked at his wife with sharp eyes and said to Liu Nian, "I hope you do it because you want to!"
His wife showed her unruly nature to the fullest. These words not only made Liu Nian want to do whatever he wanted, but also made him more devoted to his wife.
His wife, like the red plum blossoms ready to bloom in the snow, is gradually attracting attention.
Zhao Xiangyi, who was cheerful but didn't say much, looked at Mu Jiaojiao with his heart in turmoil.
He still remembers the scene when his master asked him to achieve great things and create his own world.
Just like how she let Liu Nian stir up trouble in the temple now, it shocked people, made people admire it, and made people... unable to help but feel a throbbing...
After listening to the conversation between Mu Jiaojiao and Liu Nian, Xi Yanzhi looked at Mu Jiaojiao again with undisguised admiration and praise in his eyes.
No wonder!
No wonder Jiang Huaizhi, a black-hearted fox, and the handsome young man Jiang Jin, whom the wealthy lady of Yudu wanted to marry before he was poisoned, could willingly care about a village woman like Mu Jiaojiao.
The woman who could make the famous Prince Jin complacently say that "he is henpecked" is indeed not simple.
How many men can match this breadth of mind, this courage, and this ability?
"Hahahaha...Shi Yan is really great!"
Then Xi Yanzhi turned his head to look at Liu Nian and praised him from the bottom of his heart. He knew that this man had been suffering from poison for many years. If he had not met Mu Jiaojiao, he would probably be dead.
But such a person was able to deal with the people who harmed him in an orderly manner, and was not destroyed by poison and emotions. He stood here and told everyone that he wanted to enter the government and become a superior person.
Xi Yanzhi admired her tenacity very much.
Shi Yan's pen name is Liu Nian. Xi Yanzhi investigated the family and not only did he look into the family's three generations of ancestors, he must have known everything he should know.
"Thank you for the compliment, Young Master Xi."
Liu Nian had calmed down by now, and suddenly became a little more peaceful. He thanked Xi Yanzhi.
"Shi Yan, we are all brothers from now on. We are following Huai Zhi and my sister-in-law to do things. There is no need to be so polite, right?"
Xi Yanzhi was very good at taking advantage of others. He immediately climbed onto Liu Nian's shoulders and said with a smile on his face.
"Well, Young Master Xi is right. Then I will be so arrogant as to call you Jin Ge."
Liu Nian's eyes flashed when he heard this, and then he stopped being polite and called Xi Yanzhi by his name.
"Hahahahahaha... Shi Yanshang said, when you are in the martial arts world, you don't care about those empty formalities."
Xi Yanzhi laughed loudly, and immediately went from the court to the underworld, his words were quite eccentric.
Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao felt inwardly that Xi Yanzhi was indeed an information collector and a frequent visitor to Qinlou and Chuguan.
Look at the ability and character of this Sheniu Benniu, one cannot help but admit defeat.
Afterwards, they drank tea and chatted, telling some lighthearted and funny stories. Jiang Jin and Zhao Xiangyi also told Mu Jiaojiao about the glorious deeds of Young Master Xi in Yudu from time to time.
For a while, there was laughter in the private room. Mu Jiaojiao also ate a lot of good melons. Young Master Xi also did not stop, but just expressed various emotions.
He felt sad that he had been hunting eagles for many years, but he didn't expect to be bitten by an eagle.
As the sun set, Mu Jiaojiao and her husband, along with the coachman Zhao Xiangyi, drove the carriage back to Lihua Village in the dusk.
Xi Yanzhi declared that he would be a storyteller in the No. 1 building in the world in the future, while Liu Nian settled down in Hexi Town. He was going to review his studies and prepare for the college entrance examination in March next year.
*
At night, the two boys hadn't seen Mu Jiaojiao for a whole day, so when they saw her back, they kept pestering her to tell them bedtime stories.
Last time we talked about the story of Sun Wukong’s three fights with the White Bone Demon, and we hadn’t finished yet, but the two children were so curious!
Of course, Jiang Mingzhao was mainly curious. After all, it was unrealistic for Jiang Mingxiao to understand what his mother was saying.
After coaxing the two children to sleep, Mu Jiaojiao went into the main house to change clothes and prepare for bed.
Jiang Jin got ready early and sat on the big bed that Mu Jiaojiao had ordered, staring at his wife without taking his eyes off her.
"My wife, you don't love your husband anymore!"
Seeing that Mu Jiaojiao kept ignoring him and didn't even look at him, Jiang Jin said aggrievedly, "But it doesn't have fox ears, otherwise you can see its ears drooping."
"Little troublemaker, why don't I love you?"
Jiaojiao was so upset after hearing this that she asked her trouble-making husband helplessly.
"You encourage your useless subordinates during the day, and coax your two kids at night, and you don't pay attention to your husband~"
After Jiang Jin finished speaking, she pouted and pretended to be quite aggrieved in her gentle voice.
Mu Jiaojiao: “…………”
Am I the one who is jealous again?
"Whose kid is this?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at Prince Jin, then walked to the bedside, bent down, reached out, and pinched her man's angry face.
Jiang Jin grabbed his wife's hand and hugged her. He turned over and pressed his wife on the bed, then whispered in Mu Jiaojiao's ear in a low voice.
"My lady, a night of spring is worth a thousand gold, let's take a break~"
"Jiang Jin, you... um..."
The hibiscus tent is warm, and we spend the night in silence...
