Chapter 38 I Don’t Want You to Marry Her
With light steps, Bai Rushue ran down Sheshan and returned to the village.
As a result, as soon as Bai Rushue entered the village, a group of aunts and grandmas surrounded her.
"Ruxue, congratulations, your Xiao Mo passed the imperial examination."
"Ruxue, you will be the wife of a successful candidate in the imperial examination in the future."
"When Xiao Mo becomes a high-ranking official, don't let him forget about us aunts and uncles."
The aunties and grandmas were talking to each other.
Bai Ruxue's eyes lit up and she said happily, "Did Xiao Mo really pass the exam?"
"Of course. Xiao Mo not only passed the exam, but he also won the title of Jieyuan. He was first. Even the county magistrate came."
"Ruxue, you didn't see how polite the county magistrate was to Xiao Mo. Usually, only other people are so polite to the county magistrate."
"Brother Mo really is the God of Literature descended to earth!"
Bai Ruxue felt happy listening to the aunts and uncles praising Xiao Mo.
Bai Rushue didn't know what passing the imperial examination meant.
But Bai Rushue knew that Xiao Mo had accomplished what he wanted to do, and he must be very happy.
If Xiao Mo is happy, I will be happy too.
Just as Bai Ruxue was about to run home to prepare a delicious meal for him and celebrate, Widow Wang from the north of the village saw Bai Ruxue and hurried over:
"Ruxue, it's not good. The county magistrate is arranging a marriage for Xiao Mo and wants to marry his daughter to Xiao Mo."
"Eh?" All the aunts and uncles were stunned at the same time.
Aunt Chen was the first to react. She turned to Widow Wang and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Where did you hear that rumor?"
"That's not a rumor at all!" Widow Wang slapped her thigh. "I just heard it when I passed by Mo Ge'er's courtyard!"
"this"
"Ruxue, don't worry. Maybe Wang Mei heard it wrongly."
"Yes, Ruxue, since you take such good care of Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo will definitely not let you down."
Everyone hurried to comfort Bai Rushue.
Everyone saw how Bai Ruxue took care of Xiao Mo.
"That's what she said, but she is the county magistrate's daughter after all. If I were Mo Ge'er..." At this moment, a young woman muttered.
But before she could finish her words, she was glared at by others.
"Aunt Chen, Aunt Wang, I'm fine." Bai Ruxue smiled faintly. "Xiao Mo passed the imperial examination. I should be happy. I'll go cook for him and celebrate."
Bai Ruxue smiled at everyone, then walked forward.
Just looking at the girl's somewhat lost back, everyone knew that there was no way Bai Ruxue could be okay.
But what can we do about this kind of thing?
Ruxue is indeed pretty, but she is just an ordinary girl after all.
How could any man reject the county magistrate's daughter?
Bai Ruxue was walking on the way home.
She didn't know what kind of feelings were in her heart.
My mind just feels confused.
She naturally knew what getting married meant.
Marriage means that a man and a woman are together and will never be separated.
"If Xiao Mo marries another woman, should I leave Xiao Mo?"
"Will Xiao Mo agree to that county magistrate?"
"Will Xiao Mo not want me anymore?"
The more Bai Ruxue thought about it, the more confused she became.
Just as Bai Ruxue was about to walk into the yard, she saw Xiao Mo saying goodbye to a man in official uniform.
Bai Ruxue quickly hid behind a rock.
Seeing the two people talking happily together, Bai Ruxue felt a pang in her heart.
Could it be that Xiao Mo has already agreed to marry his daughter?
After the county magistrate left, Bai Ruxue slowly stood up and returned to the yard.
"Ruxue, you're back."
"Um."
"I have good news for you. I passed the imperial examination."
"Hmm."
"Ruxue, what's wrong with you? What happened?" Xiao Mo couldn't help but ask when he saw Bai Ruxue keeping her head down.
"No. I'm fine. I'm going to cook for you and celebrate today." Bai Ruxue shook her head and ran into the kitchen.
Half an hour later, Bai Ruxue came out with food.
Xiao Mo looked at the mouth-watering chicken that was so delicious that he couldn't wait to take a bite, but he almost choked to death.
"Xiao Mo, what's wrong?" Bai Ruxue quickly poured Xiao Mo a glass of water.
"Try it yourself." Xiao Mo picked up a piece for her.
Bai Ruxue took a bite and her face turned pale instantly.
"Pah, pah, pah!"
Bai Ruxue quickly spat out the chicken.
"Well, my hand was shaking accidentally, and I put too much salt. Xiao Mo, you eat this." Bai Ruxue picked up a piece of vegetable for Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo took a bite of the vegetables, his expression complicated: "Ruxue, did you not put salt on your vegetables?"
"Ah? Then try this." Bai Ruxue added a piece of rabbit meat.
"This rabbit meat is too sour, isn't it?" Xiao Mo was a little overwhelmed. "How much vinegar did you put in it?"
"I'll make it for you again." Bai Ruxue ran to the kitchen again.
The meal Bai Ruxue cooked the second time was pretty good.
But when Bai Rushue was eating, she seemed to be in a trance. She shoveled the white rice into her mouth and forgot to pick up any vegetables.
While washing dishes, Bai Ruxue broke two plates.
When hanging clothes to dry, Bai Rushue picked up the clothes and put them on the clothesline, then took the clothes off the clothesline and put them in a basin.
Repeat this process.
When cleaning the yard, she swept the same spot over and over again.
Xiao Mo was sure that she must have something on her mind.
At night, after dinner, Bai Ruxue did not go back to her room to sleep, but just sat in the yard, looking up at the stars.
Xiao Mo walked out of the room, picked up a book, and patted Bai Rushue's head gently.
Bai Ruxue was startled, and glared at Xiao Mo with her peach blossom eyes: "You scared me to death, what are you doing?"
"I was asking you what you were doing. You seem listless all day. Tell me what happened." Xiao Mo asked in a serious tone.
"I didn't." Bai Ruxue turned her head away.
"Really?"
"Really not!"
"Forget it if you don't have it. Sigh," Xiao Mo sighed, "I thought I was very important to you and you would tell me everything. It seems that I was just being sentimental."
Just as Xiao Mo turned around and went back to his room in disappointment, Bai Ruxue gently pinched the corner of Xiao Mo's clothes.
The woman lowered her head and said softly, "No, it's not like that."
"Then why don't you tell me?"
"I, I." Bai Ruxue wanted to say something but stopped herself, almost burying her head in her chest.
Xiao Mo was not in a hurry, just waiting for her answer.
"Xiao Mo." The girl seemed to muster up all her courage, raised her head, and asked nervously, "The county magistrate wants to marry his daughter to you, right?"
"How do you know?" Xiao Mo was stunned.
"I heard it!" Bai Ruxue's eyes flickered, "Are you going to marry her?"
"Miss Bai, do you think I should marry her?"
Bai Ruxue lowered her head again and fell into silence, her small hands just gently rubbing the corner of his clothes.
After a long time, the woman's voice was as soft as the evening breeze: "I don't want you to marry her"
"fool."
Xiao Mo pinched the woman's fair and tender face.
"Then I won't marry."
