After hearing what Mu Xingzhi said, Su Qingluan felt a little embarrassed and a little happy.
She felt embarrassed because, to put it bluntly, her awkward and unspeakable little thoughts were just her being upset with herself. There was no clear reason, and it made no sense at all. She herself felt that this "unpleasant" feeling came out of nowhere.
However, now it has been noticed by the other party. Obviously, Mu Xingzhi himself has done nothing wrong in this matter, but he is willing to use practical actions to "comfort" herself, which makes Su Qingluan secretly feel a kind of joy that she can hardly suppress.
"I... don't know why. Maybe it's the changing seasons. Don't we all say 'the autumn wind is bleak'? Maybe this kind of scene makes people feel sad and depressed, and their mood is not very good. It has nothing to do with you. You don't have to apologize..." Su Qingluan explained awkwardly.
Although it was not very kind to let Ji Ji take the blame, she herself could not find the reason for the awkwardness, so she could only talk about some natural metaphysics or something like that.
Although she said "it has nothing to do with Mu Xingzhi", Su Qingluan's mood improved visibly after he re-styled her hair. She even hummed a little tune on the way to Su Ji.
"Oh, the bride is really different. Look at her happy face!"
A smiling voice came from behind. Su Qingluan turned her head and looked behind her: "Yun Niang!"
"It's been a long time since we last met," Liu Yunniang glanced up and down at Su Qingluan, who had changed her hairstyle into a woman's. "You've been spending several days being intimate with your new husband, and now you're finally willing to come back to work, boss?"
As she spoke, Liu Yunniang reached out her hand and touched Su Qingluan's smooth and delicate cheek as if she were a playboy teasing a decent woman. "Tsk tsk tsk, you are indeed someone who is loved. I feel that you look much better after getting married."
...In fact, the real reason why she "looks much better" is that she has been staying in bed at home these days. Also, Song Bo is a good cook, so unless she feels like cooking, Su Qingluan doesn't have to worry about anyone at home going hungry. So she has to rack her brains to cook, work less and sleep more, so it would be strange if she doesn't look good.
However, this matter should not be told to outsiders, and Su Qingluan and Mu Xingzhi are not real husband and wife after all. Hearing her good friend's teasing, she somehow thought of the way Mu Xingzhi, with a gentle smile on his face, was tying her hair in front of the dressing table this morning. For a moment, her face felt a little hot, and her hand unconsciously touched the place where she had inserted the hairpin.
Su Qingluan herself was not aware of it, but Liu Yunniang who was standing next to her saw the whole scene clearly. She looked carefully at Su Qingluan's bun today and indeed discovered something.
As Su Qingluan's first right-hand man in "Su Ji" and also a rare good friend of Su Qingluan, Liu Yunniang understands Su Qingluan's temperament about 70% or so, if not 100%.
Su Qingluan usually wore men's clothing, and her hair was simply tied up with a headband. Even when she occasionally dressed as a woman, her hair was kept as simple as possible. Sometimes, because she was working overtime, she would not even bother with the simplest style and just hastily tied her hair into a ponytail at the back, which looked out of place.
Many times, Liu Yunniang or even Zhaodi couldn't stand Su Qingluan's careless character anymore, so they helped her comb her hair again, so that Su Qingluan could grumble and complain, isn't it the same no matter how you comb your hair? Why should you consider the age and gender differences? Isn't it enough to just comb your hair up?
There was even one time when Liu Yunniang heard Su Qingluan angrily say in the study: "It's so hot, just shave your head." She was so scared that she quickly covered Su Qingluan's mouth.
There was a reason why Liu Yunniang was so nervous. After all, the emperor of the time believed in Buddhism and respected all kinds of enlightened monks very much. Although Liu Yunniang, a commoner, did not understand why the enlightened monks watched the common people doing hard labor and built temples for them without stopping them.
Isn’t it said that monks are compassionate?
However, monks have a very high prestige in the imperial family, and anyone who disrespects monks will be arrested.
After Su Qingluan knew about this, she never mentioned it again, but she still complained about her long hair being difficult to manage.
For someone who is so impatient to comb her hair, her bun today is not only beautiful but also has two thin braids. They serve as decoration and can also stabilize the position of the entire bun and hairpin. It doesn't look like it was made by Su Qingluan's own hands at all.
Besides, who would blush when touching their hair? Like now, with their face red all the way to their neck!
Liu Yunniang said that it was simply unbearable to watch!
"I say, what's the story behind this bun?" Liu Yunniang looked at Su Qingluan speechlessly. "You've touched it two or three times in such a short while, and you're still blushing."
"How could I...how could I be blushing?" After being exposed, Su Qingluan quickly put her hand down in an attempt to cover up her mistake.
But today, it seemed like everyone was trying to expose her secrets. A moment later, Chen Zhi, who had come to discuss the takeover of the Liangzhou branch with her, asked curiously, "Shopkeeper Su, is your hair itchy? Why do you keep touching it?"
But Chen Zhi happened to be a straightforward person. Although his voice was not loud, it was full of energy and clear, so it seemed very loud. As a result, when he said this, everyone around him looked over and covered their mouths to laugh.
Su Qingluan felt like she wanted to carry a train and leave the earth - although there were only horse-drawn carriages here, no trains.
Sure enough, when she turned around, Liu Yunniang was winking at her.
...This life is unbearable.
After Liu Yunniang learned that the "hair bun" incident was caused by Mu Xingzhi, her expression reached a new peak. Coincidentally or not, Liu Yunniang's exclamation of "Mr. Mu tied your hair" was actually heard by a worker with sharp ears nearby.
Everyone usually works very hard, so gossip is their way of passing the time. Furthermore, "boss gossip" is always fodder for workers, and even though Su Qingluan isn't the black-hearted boss who's being secretly stabbed by employees at "Su Ji," the same thing applies.
As a result, the rumor spread from one person to another. At first, there were relatively reliable rumors such as "Mr. Mu and Shopkeeper Su are in perfect harmony, and Mr. Mu even draws eyebrows and does hair for Shopkeeper Su at home." Later, there was a rumor that "Mr. Mu loves his wife so much that he doesn't want her to do anything." This was not particularly outrageous.
But when rumors spread that "Shopkeeper Su may smile on the outside, but he is actually a Hedong lion who bullies Mr. Mu at home and acts tyrannically all day long", and some people even advised her openly and secretly that "the family should not go too far", Su Qingluan was a little amused: What does this have to do with anything?
