Chapter 382 Not Marrying
After Zhou and the wife of the Minister of Rites left, Su Qingqing asked Jixiang, "Where is His Majesty?"
Jixiang immediately said, "Just when I was dragging the old woman out, Minghe came over and said that His Majesty was talking to some adults in the Imperial Study, and asked when the Empress would finish here."
Rong Que asked this because he wanted her to go to the imperial study. Su Qingqing didn't delay and stood up and walked out.
It is already early winter, and the night wind blows at night, making people feel bone-chillingly cold.
Su Qingqing wrapped her cloak around herself, and suddenly remembered something. She turned to ask Jixiang, "Where did Minghe take you to play on the day we came back?"
Jixiang supported Su Qingqing and walked carefully. When she heard this, her face immediately became angry, "Oh, don't mention it. It's so cold. He said he would take me to eat grilled fish.
I thought he had discovered some delicious restaurant, so I followed him with great interest. But guess what, Your Majesty, that bastard took me to the river outside the city.
He asked the maid to wait by the side, and he made a hole in the river surface and caught two fish. He made a fire by the river and roasted them for the maid on the spot!
My God, I didn’t turn around and leave because of the harmony between the Emperor and Empress.”
Su Qingqing couldn't help laughing. Minghe finally took the initiative, but the result seemed not so ideal.
"What do you think of Minghe?" Su Qingqing asked indirectly.
Jixiang rolled his eyes. "His martial arts skills are quite good, but his brain is a bit problematic. Who would break ice and catch fish on the river bank in this cold weather and eat them right there? We are not starving, nor can we afford to eat in a restaurant."
Jixiang has a deep resentment.
Su Qingqing tried to probe: "Maybe he just wants to experience the atmosphere of eating grilled fish outdoors with you."
Jixiang rolled his eyes, "Is that the atmosphere? That's freezing. When I was eating, my teeth were chattering. That's by the river, it's colder than other places."
"You followed Minghe away at that time, and I saw that you were quite willing to do so." Su Qingqing said with a smile.
Jixiang turned around and looked at Su Qingqing with a sly smile, "At that time, you will still be able to see whether this servant is willing or not~~~~~~"
Su Qingqing: ...
Trying to play with Jixiang but end up being played with?
" Have you ever thought about what kind of person you want to marry in the future?" Su Qingqing glared at Jixiang and continued to act as a gossipy matchmaker.
Jixiang said, "Get married? I'm living well on my own, why would you want to get married?"
She said it sincerely.
Heartfelt confusion and doubt.
Su Qingqing was blocked by her.
"take things too hard?"
Jixiang nodded, "Yes, you see, I am alone now. As the most favored maid in front of the Queen, I have everything I want and I can be as happy as I want.
But what if I get married? I will have to face a man and his family.
It would be fine if his family was easy to cause trouble, but if not, I would have to fight with them like a black-eyed chicken every day and be angry all the time. Isn't this crazy?
As for this man, when two people talk about love, it is bound to be both sweet and abusive, which is something that ordinary people cannot avoid.
It’s okay when it’s sweet, but what about when it’s sad?
I eat and drink well every day and am happy, why should I endure that kind of abuse? Am I sick?
Speaking of having children, a woman will get pregnant after getting married. When she is pregnant, she cannot run or jump, and cannot eat whatever she wants. It will be inconvenient for her to walk when her belly is big. Moreover, it is said that giving birth is like going through the gates of hell. Why would I go there even though I know it is the gates of hell?
Besides, after the child is born, you have to take care of the child.
With our situation, it would be no problem to hire a wet nurse or something, but if the child gets sick, wouldn't I have to get anxious and upset? Why should I get anxious and upset and suffer the consequences when I'm happy alone?
Then, the child grows up. Boys have to study and take exams to find a career. Will I have to worry about his studies until my head becomes bald every day? Will I have to fight with him every day over a Nine-Chapter Algorithm? He may even have an irregular heartbeat and have to take heart-protecting pills at a young age. What am I doing for this?
If it's a girl, it would be even more worrying. What if she grows up and gets married? I would still have to worry about whether she marries well, lives well, and whether she will have a hard time giving birth to children in the future.
Oh my god!
Master, without mentioning anything else, just after all the calculations, I feel that the cost of getting married is too high. It is not suitable for someone like me who just wants to live a simple and happy life.
This process does not include the fact that I made a mistake and the man was a gigolo and wanted to kill me to take over my property.
Didn't you hear about it, Madam? Not long ago, the daughter of Mr. Zhu in the east of the city married a barber. Guess what? They had several children, but the barber burned Mr. Zhu's daughter to death along with her children. He took Mr. Zhu's daughter's money and ran away with his mistress.
My God, it’s a good thing that the government found out and brought him back, otherwise how could Mr. Zhu bear it? He was so heartbroken and angry that he fell seriously ill.
Alas, it’s not worth it, I’m fine living my own life, safe and happy.”
Su Qingqing left Jixiang speechless.
You actually think it makes sense?
After Jixiang finished speaking, he immediately added, "But the master and His Majesty are different. You two are in love with each other, a perfect match made in heaven..."
Su Qingqing looked at Jixiang with a wooden face, and Jixiang stuck out his tongue and shut up.
"Anyway, I won't marry, so don't plan on that, Master. I will follow you for a long time and enjoy a life of luxury and wealth."
Su Qingqing raised her hand and rubbed Jixiang's head, "I will give you wealth and honor."
The matter of marriage was put aside and never mentioned again.
Here, Su Qingqing and Jixiang, the master and servant, were talking as they walked towards the imperial study. On the other side, not far behind them, Minghe stood there with a pale face.
Minglu bumped Minghe's arm and said, "I can't believe that Jixiang, who looks so stupid, actually has such opinions. After hearing what she said, I don't even want to get married.
How happy I would be alone. If I get married, I will have to give all my earnings to her. I will no longer be able to drink when I want and sleep when I want. Moreover, I will definitely be worried when I go out to complete a mission.
Boring.
It's better to be alone, right Minghe? You definitely don't want to get married. You are so greedy. If you get married, your wife will definitely say that you can't eat this because it's unhealthy, and you can't eat that because it's not nutritious, and so on and so forth. It's so annoying.
We two brothers will live together from now on and do whatever we want."
Minghe's face turned pale. He shook off Minglu's hand on his shoulder, glared at him, turned around and ran away.
Ming Lu: Huh?
Run away?
