Chapter 37 Bodhisattvas still want incense
"That maid just now, Jin Yu, is my grandmother's sidekick. You asked her to follow you because you were afraid that I would incite you to do something." Pei Shaorong said sarcastically.
"Grandma like you is someone who can't handle things clearly. She's so far behind my grandmother!"
Thinking of the old lady from Duke Cheng's Mansion, Pei Shaorong nodded in agreement: "That's true, there's no comparison."
"So, marrying the right wife is very important to the family!" Xu Muhua sighed.
Pei Shaorong reached out and pinched her cheek, and said with a smile: "Yes, I don't know who will be lucky enough to marry us Mu Hua back in the future. We Mu Hua will definitely be a good wife and mother!"
Xu Muhua was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head: "No, no, no, no, I'm not a good wife and mother!"
Is she grateful?
"What? You don't want to be a good wife and mother?" Pei Shaorong asked curiously.
Xu Muhua felt that it was time for him to instill some good and enlightened thoughts into his friends.
She looked at Pei Shaorong and asked seriously: "Arong, let me ask you, what are those good wives and mothers like?"
Pei Shaorong frowned, thought for a while and said: "Well, take good care of your husband and parents-in-law, take care of the housework, give birth to children, raise children, handle the interpersonal relationships with various families, and take in concubines for your husband." , help her husband spread the branches and leaves..."
After she finished speaking, Xu Muhua said: "Yes, this is a good wife and mother. But when a woman achieves this level, do you think this woman is really happy? Is she really happy? She spends all her time When I'm with others, I don't have any time to do the things I want to do and like to do for myself."
"You still have to watch your husband sleep with other women, have children with other women, and treat children born by other women as your own. Ah Rong, don't you think this is aggrieved?"
"More than that, like aunt, do you think aunt is bad? She is not good enough? But do you think she is happy? I think aunt was too virtuous in the beginning, so she was bullied like this by your father and your grandmother!"
"Look at Aunt Zhao again. Is she a virtuous woman? She is not, but she lives so happily and freely!"
"So, if being a good wife and mother means sacrificing yourself, then what's the problem if this good wife and mother doesn't do it!"
Pei Shaorong was stunned, and her brain became a little dull because of what she said!
"Mu Hua, what you said... seems to make sense..."
"What does it seem like? It's obviously very reasonable! So Ah Rong, women can be virtuous and virtuous, but there must be prerequisites! That is, you must first protect your own interests, otherwise what is the difference between this and a saint? Don't all Bodhisattvas still return the favor? Do you want incense? Can a person be more selfless and noble than a Bodhisattva?"
Pei Shaorong gave her a slight look, "You are becoming more and more unconcealable, and you dare to make fun of Bodhisattva."
"I was just making an analogy. I respect the Bodhisattva!"
"Okay, why should I discuss this with you? You are still two years away from getting married, and it's still too early to get married!"
"You too, you haven't even got haircut yet, Ah Rong, you have to promise me not to look for a man so early."
Pei Shaorong was so embarrassed that her face turned red. He stretched out his hand and lightly hit her shoulder: "You are still talking nonsense. How can a girl shout such words as looking for a man? Let people listen to your reputation. Do you want more?"
"Yes, yes, I'll shut up now!" Xu Muhua covered his mouth, leaving a pair of starry eyes wide open.
Pei Shaorong looked at her being so angry and funny, and said casually: "You fell from the attic, and your temper changed."
Xu Muhua swallowed uncontrollably, "Ah, really? Maybe he died once and looked away?"
Pei Shaorong did not doubt that he was there and said: "It would be a good thing if you can really look away. I know that you always mind that you are not a flesh and blood of Duke Chengguo, but for so many years, they have treated you as their own child, and there is no difference anymore. Sorry. If you care too much, you are just making trouble!"
Xu Muhua was stunned for a moment.
Ah, did the original owner actually care about this all along? But it’s not mentioned in the book! The book only wrote about how favored she was in the Chengguo Palace. Even Xu Jinyu was overpowered, and she never showed that she cared about this matter.
Why is Ah Rong saying this now?
Although she was confused in her heart, she still nodded obediently and said: "Well, I know, I have already figured it out this time. They are very good to me, and they do even better than some of my biological children. I shouldn't worry about my biological children at all. It’s not your own business. Living your life well is the serious thing.”
Pei Shaorong reached out and tapped her forehead in a funny way: "Look at what you said, you are as mature as someone who is decades old."
Xu Muhua chuckled.
She is really several decades old.
It wasn't until the sky began to darken at Pei Shaorong's place that Xu Muhua got up and left.
Back at Duke Cheng's Mansion, Xu's mother was already numb to her daughter's schedule. She didn't even worry about whether she would be tortured by Concubine Zhang. She seemed to have a mysterious confidence in her.
After a few days of this, someone came to the palace again this morning! But this time it’s a reward!
After they left, Xu's mother couldn't help but asked curiously: "The reward given by Concubine Zhang is so generous. Mu Hua, what did you do to Concubine Zhang?"
Others looked at her curiously.
Xu Muhua used the same trick he used to deal with Concubine Li again, and said seriously, "Mom, it's actually nothing. It's just that Concubine Zhang couldn't sleep well at night for some reason. And I happened to know a way, so I dedicated it to her. Concubine Zhang cured her insomnia. That’s why she rewarded me!"
Mother Xu frowned and opened her mouth. Xu Muhua had quick eyes and quick hands and knew what she wanted to say. He quickly pulled her aside and lowered his voice: "Mom, the less people know about the things in Yikun Palace, the better. Otherwise, Concubine Zhang will be lost. If you lose face, aren't you going to cause trouble for us? From now on, we will pretend that we don't know about this and nothing happened!"
Xu's mother glanced at the other people not far away and nodded: "Since the matter has been resolved, we won't mention it anymore."
Xu Muhua was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Xu's mother say again: "But you must tell me clearly what happened! Tomorrow, you can find an opportunity to come to my yard and explain it carefully. Make it clear!"
Xu Muhua agreed quickly, "No problem, I will definitely be there!"
Xu's mother looked at her suspiciously.
She doesn't know why, but she always feels that her eldest daughter seems to be a lot more naughty now!
