Chapter 383: This is How a Good Husband is Raised
Ye Xiaoman asked Yue Mushan: "Jiaying still doesn't want to go out?"
Yue Mushan interpreted Jiaying's motives from his perspective, and guessed that this was just Jiaying's trick of playing hard to get, to entice Ye Xiaoman to visit him on her own initiative.
He opened his mouth and wanted to make a sarcastic remark at first, but then he suddenly remembered his father's teachings.
The great demon Shan Cui Gu is a man with a rough appearance and a very heroic character. The demon king Yue Qing has a high status, and there are many outstanding men among the ministers and guests surrounding him. There are many people with many gossips, and occasionally some rumors will spread.
Shan Cui Gu never asked about this and never took any action to force his partner's loyalty.
Young Yue Mushan was puzzled by this. He believed that some ministers should keep a distance from their mothers as is their duty, and the excessive behavior of some people who try to gain power should also be punished appropriately.
In response, Shan Cui Gu smiled, picked up Xiao Yue Mu Shan, let him sit on his shoulders, and took him to play on the street.
Shan Cui Gu walked among all kinds of tribesmen. The demon cultivators had good genes and most of them had outstanding looks. From time to time, young and handsome men passed by them.
"Father, you haven't answered my question yet."
Shan Cui Gu pointed at the male demons that came and went beside him and asked with a smile, "If they all come to harass your mother, and I drive away A, will B, C, or D come?"
"If I go to your mother and make a scene every day, saying bad things about someone today and framing someone else tomorrow, your mother, who is so busy with her affairs, might appease me once or twice out of consideration for the sake of our relationship, but what about ten or twenty times?"
"Amu, when you grow up, you will realize that you will be freer if you loosen your fists. If you desperately try to hold on to something, it's like clenching your fist to try to hold on to water; you'll never be able to catch it."
"In relationships, this is the same strategy used by both men and women. Everyone likes to be with someone they feel comfortable with, and no one likes to be in an environment where they feel suffocated by being watched closely."
Shan Cuigu put Yue Mushan down and watched him lovingly as he tried to stand up and learn to walk on his two furry legs. As parents, they would teach their children all the survival wisdom they knew, including hunting and finding a mate.
"If you meet a girl in the future who is very popular, even if you really want to hold her tightly, you should pretend to give her full freedom. This will give you a great chance of winning."
It was from this moment that Yue Mushan realized that his father Zhang Fei's embroidery was rough but meticulous, and he was very thoughtful, worthy of being a candidate who had the strength to compete for the Demon King.
Yue Mushan grew up with a smart father, and was influenced by him since childhood, so he was born with a strong emotional intelligence. The words criticizing Jiaying rolled around in his mouth, and when they were spoken out, they were coated with sugar and became sweet.
"Master Jiaying is kindhearted. He probably couldn't bear to see the suffering of the living beings here, so he hid away and chanted sutras to pray for blessings."
Yue Mushan had already seen that Ye Xiaoman wanted to find Jiaying, so he simply went along with it.
"The last time I visited him, he no longer harbored any resentment towards me. If you're worried, please go visit him. If you can discuss the plan to liberate the Ghost Prison with him, it might also help resolve a knot in his heart."
Help Jiaying wear his hat high, otherwise he will be in trouble if he falls.
Ye Xiaoman was indeed very impressed by Yue Mushan's understanding. She was surprised and asked, "You didn't seem to like him very much before. Do you have any objection to me meeting him?"
Yue Mushan said, "That's a personal grudge between him and me. I don't like him because he always ignores me, and I'm just angry... It doesn't matter. I can't stand in the way of my sister's career."
He gently pushed Ye Xiaoman towards Jiaying and said, "Go, sister, come back early. I'm busy in the kitchen and will wait for you to eat together."
Ye Xiaoman felt a little embarrassed by Yue Mushan's magnanimity. Xiao Chujing and Sikong Qing would care about their absolute position in her heart, Ji Wenyi would separate her and Ji Weiming, and Jiaying just wanted to kill everyone indiscriminately. Only Yue Mushan did not make assumptions, did not ask questions, and did not interfere.
She declared that cats are always humans’ best friends.
She clung to Yue Mushan for a long time before going to find Jiaying.
In the simple room, Jiaying stood in front of the window in a daze.
The house is located in a low-lying area of Guizhu. The window faces a stone wall diagonally, on which hangs a blood-red waterfall. The sound of water falling to the ground sounds like rain.
Yue Mushan's arrangement was simply to disturb his meditation, but he didn't hate the sound of rain.
He was at his wit's end.
In recent days, he has tried methods such as using purified water to exorcise evil spirits, using talismans to eliminate disasters, and blocking meridians, but his abnormalities have not improved at all, as if he has a terminal illness.
There was a small storage space on the inside of the sleeve. He thought he would find some medicinal pills, but he only pulled out half a string of candied haws.
There is no spiritual fluctuation, it is just an ordinary folk thing.
Carefully wrapped in candy paper with a preservation magic circle drawn on the paper to keep it fresh, there are only two candied haws left on the bamboo stick. It seems that the person eating it cherishes it very much and only bites off one at a time.
He couldn't remember when he put it in there. Was it the little monk who helped him take care of his appearance who put it in his sleeve on purpose out of mischief?
For some unknown reason, Jiaying peeled off the candy wrapper and ate the candied haws.
He couldn't resist the sweet taste.
He held up the empty bamboo stick of the candied haws, feeling somewhat lost.
The wooden door was pushed open and someone walked in.
Jiaying collected his thoughts and wrapped his wrist, which was covered with snake scales, with white silk.
The visitor did not rush into his room, but wandered around in the yard outside.
Jiaying remained motionless, when he suddenly smelled the sweet aroma of caramel.
The fragrance kept coming in from the crack in the door, and Jiaying pushed the door open.
He stood under the eaves and saw Ye Xiaoman coming over with a clay stove and a small iron pot.
There was firewood burning in the stove. She moved a small stool and sat in front of the stove, making sugar.
The firelight shone on her face. She wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve and stirred the sugar water with a long chopstick.
Ye Xiaoman heard Jiaying coming out and turned to smile at him with a blatant flattery, "I'll make you your favorite candied haws."
Only then did Jiaying notice that there was a bamboo basket at her feet, with half a basket of wild hawthorns and half a basket of strawberries. The fruits were thin and small, as if they were malnourished.
Normal fruits and vegetables cannot grow in the ghost prison environment. These fruits may not look very good, but they are rare treasures here. Usually, only the landlords are lucky enough to eat a few of them.
The basket that Ye Xiaoman put up was all tribute from the surrendered landlords.
Yue Mushan gave her a few, she ate a few to satisfy her craving, and used the rest to make snacks for Jiaying.
Jiaying originally wanted to say coldly that he didn't like sweets, but the words were on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't say them in the end. He just watched Ye Xiaoman busy herself.
Ye Xiaoman came here specifically to apologize to Jiaying and improve their relationship.
Cater to his preferences and use the same old tricks again.
Jiaying didn't chase her away with a broom, which was a good sign.
When she saw Jiaying looking at her iron pot where sugar juice was bubbling, she knew that he was interested in various folk trinkets.
