Although Su Qingluan was slightly sarcastic by Mu Xingzhi, she turned her head to look at the neat and beautiful bun in the bronze mirror on the dressing table, and the slight urge to complain about him faded away.
Moreover, Mu Xingzhi's hairstyle is very thoughtful. It is not as complicated as yesterday's hairstyle, which first braids the hair into small braids and then interweaves them with different hair accessories. Instead, it is really just fixed with a hairpin, and then supplemented with various simple but effective braiding methods to fix the hairpin and the overall hairstyle.
Today, in order to test the stability of Mu Xingzhi's braid, Su Qingluan even deliberately played shuttlecock in the yard for a while. This requires constant changing of vision direction because of the "shaking head" movement, but this braid of hair is not completely loose, and there is not even a mess.
Just when Su Qingluan gently pulled the hairpin out of her hair, her hair flowed down like a waterfall. Compared with the hairstyle she had to work hard to pull out yesterday, it was so much better!
Coach, I want to learn this hairstyle!
Su Qingluan turned to Mu Xingzhi and was about to ask if he could teach her something when she heard him ask first, "Do your father-in-law and mother-in-law have any hobbies?"
Su Qingluan was stunned for a moment before she realized that the "father-in-law and mother-in-law" Mu Xingzhi was referring to her own parents, Su Guangfu and Yang.
She asked in a low voice: "Do we have to be so...realistic when it's just the two of us together?" Su Qingluan felt a subtle sense of embarrassment when she suddenly called her parents like this, even though she knew it was just a casual act. After all, her parents were completely unaware of it.
This is equivalent to you and someone else plotting something, but doing it in public, which is completely different from doing it in private.
Mu Xingzhi nodded: "Habit becomes second nature. Qingluan should be treated as soon as possible so as to avoid mistakes."
Su Qingluan nodded, convinced by this question.
"So?" Mu Xingzhi asked as he removed his disguise at a leisurely pace, "What's the answer to your question?"
"Why do you suddenly want to ask this question?" Su Qingluan teased, "Even if you want to pretend to be a 'filial son-in-law', wouldn't it be fine if you just prepared some food, clothing, and daily necessities? My parents are not picky."
Mu Xingzhi looked at Su Qingluan with a subtle expression: "The preparations for the return visit in three days can't be too hasty, right?"
What's the big deal about returning to one's parents' home three days later? Su Qingluan was stunned for a moment before she realized that this was a "procedure" that should be included in traditional Chinese weddings.
In fact, it is no wonder that she didn't think about this matter for a while. In her previous life, she lived as a single mother for more than 20 years, and the thing of "marriage" had never appeared in her life plan.
What's more, although she had attended several weddings of friends or classmates, in the open and inclusive society of her previous life, everything pursued "personal customization", and weddings were no exception.
For example, Su Qingluan herself had attended unique wedding celebrations. Some of them involved the newlyweds traveling around the world and treating everyone to a buffet with gifts. Others turned the wedding into a cocktail reception or open-air party, accepting no gifts at all and simply wanting everyone to have a good time. Some newlyweds didn't hold a wedding at all, leaving it up to their friends to come and congratulate them.
What's more, "returning to the parents' home after three days" is just a custom after marriage, and Su Qingluan really had never paid attention to it - after all, no one would specifically ask the newlyweds what they did every day.
Recovering from her thoughts, Su Qingluan smiled and said, "Their hobbies shouldn't be of much help in choosing the gifts you give them—my father likes carpentry, and my mother likes sewing clothes."
You can't give your father a set of carpentry tools and your mother a set of tailoring tools, right?
Putting aside other things, no matter what kind of tool it is, it contains a sharp part. It is not a good sign no matter how you look at it for a newlywed couple to give a "weapon" to their parents' home when they return home.
Now it was Mu Xingzhi's turn to be stunned.
Su Qingluan rarely saw Mu Xingzhi looking so bewildered. She admired him with interest for a moment and said, "As long as we choose the people we usually choose, everyone will take them. The most important thing is that you are there. They will be very happy."
In fact, what Su Qingluan said was not wrong. Although Su Guangfu and Yang felt that Mu Xingzhi was too frail, and was so pale and thin all day long, as if he could be blown away by a gust of wind, apart from this point, in their hearts, there was really no better candidate for son-in-law than Mu Xingzhi.
Even later, Yang turned around to comfort Su Guangfu, "If it weren't for her weak body, our eldest daughter might not have had the chance to marry such an outstanding man."
Su Qingluan recalled the expressions on her father and mother's faces at that time, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"What is Qingluan laughing at?" Mu Xingzhi completely removed his disguise, restoring his original enchanting face that was flamboyant and gorgeous even when he wasn't smiling.
"After you reminded me, I realized that I could go home and see my parents in two days. Naturally, I was happy."
"There are not so many rules here. The two families are only a short distance away from each other. If Qingluan wants to go back, she can go back by herself. But if she doesn't want to come back, she needs to leave a letter." Mu Xingzhi didn't take such trivial matters to heart.
Su Qingluan shook her head, feeling very conscious of being paid for something. "After all, I've just gotten married. If I go back to my parents' house too often right away, not to mention the strange rumors that will spread around, my parents will also be worried."
Both Su Guangfu and Yang were very traditional people. They believed that after a woman got married, she should not go back to her parents' home unless there was something important.
Of course, these two people did not have the idea that "a daughter who is married off is like spilled water". They simply felt that if their daughter always ran back to her parents' home, how would she have the mind to manage her own family and raise children?
The most important thing is that this is not conducive to the harmony between husband and wife, so before getting married, Yang specifically reminded her that although Mu Xingzhi seemed to be a very easy-going person, she should not take the opportunity to be too willful and come home at every turn.
Su Qingluan didn't care about "taking care of her husband and children", but she also didn't want to cause too many strange rumors. This would not only involve herself and Mu Xingzhi in public pressure, but also make it difficult for her parents.
So she shook her head: "I understand your good intentions, but since we want to appear to be in harmony with each other, we naturally have to be closer. How can we go back to my parents' home every few days?" This action was simply giving the gossip of "marital discord" to those who were willing to spread gossip.
Before Su Qingluan finished speaking, she saw Mu Xingzhi carrying the wheelchair to the side of the dressing table, taking the horn comb and walking behind Su Qingluan.
"...What are you doing?" Su Qingluan turned her head back involuntarily, but because she was doing it forward, the action was very awkward.
Mu Xingzhi put her head back in place, and said in a low, pleasant voice with a slight smile: "Didn't you say that we should have 'harmonious music'?"
