She wanted to find Xiao Mo, but she didn't dare to ask him.
In her heart, she longed for the answer, yet she was also terrified of it.
"So annoying, so annoying!" Bai Ruxue rolled around on the bed like a rolling pin. "I wasn't like this before!"
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
When Xiaoqing entered the room, she found her older sister rolling around on the bed.
"Xiaoqing."
Bai Ruxue hugged her pillow, sitting on the bed like a duck, her peach blossom eyes swaying.
"I feel like I'm not myself anymore, what should I do?"
In the room, Xiao Mo lit a candle and read a book.
In the past, Xiao Mo needed the moonlight to read at night; if the moonlight was poor, he couldn't read at night.
However, after passing the first level of the imperial examination, Xiao Mo no longer needed to do so.
Even if Ru Xue doesn't raise silkworms or catch pheasants and rabbits, Xiao Mo will still have plenty of money.
However, Ruxue continued to raise silkworms and occasionally caught pheasants and rabbits to sell, saying that every little bit of money she could make was a good thing.
Fifteen minutes later, Xiao Mo put down the book in his hand.
He felt he couldn't bear to watch anymore.
All I could think about was Ru Xue's figure.
Xiao Mo was truly surprised that Ru Xue would say such a thing.
Although Ru Xue had said "I like you" before.
But Xiao Mo knew that this time was completely different.
Ru Xue's affection for him was genuine romantic love.
Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment, and before he could answer Ru Xue, Ru Xue ran away.
"This girl," Xiao Mo smiled and shook his head, gently blowing out the candle.
It seems I'll have to go to town tomorrow.
We can't keep them waiting too long.
The next morning, Xiao Mo woke up and went to the courtyard.
Bai Ruxue was wiping the table when she saw Xiao Mo. Like a startled bird, she quickly went into the kitchen.
During breakfast, Bai Ruxue didn't say a word and didn't dare to look at Xiao Mo.
Whenever Xiao Mo got even a little closer to Bai Ruxue, she would blush and quickly walk away.
Xiaoqing sensed that something must have happened between her sister and Brother Xiao; there was an inexplicably strange atmosphere between them.
"No! I can't go on like this!"
In the afternoon, Bai Ruxue patted her little face.
She felt she couldn't keep hiding from Xiao Mo, and in her heart, she also wanted to know Xiao Mo's answer.
However, Bai Ruxue was too embarrassed to ask.
So in the afternoon, Bai Ruxue mustered up her courage to sweep the yard and took the initiative to approach Xiao Mo.
But Xiao Mo acted as if nothing had happened, as if yesterday's events had never occurred; he simply looked at the book in his hand.
Seeing Xiao Mo's calm demeanor, Bai Ruxue pouted her pink cheeks, feeling a little angry.
Bai Ruxue continued to walk around Xiao Mo, trying to attract his attention.
But Xiao Mo still didn't react, and Bai Ruxue even suspected that Xiao Mo had lost his memory of last night.
"You stinky Xiao Mo! You said those kinds of things last night, but you're acting like nothing happened today. Even though I ran away last night, you can still reply to me now."
"You stinky Xiao Mo! You clearly said you'd marry me, but now you haven't said a word! You stinky egg! I'm never talking to you again! You big stinky egg!"
In the room, Bai Ruxue's round and full legs were wrapped around a pillow, and she raised her pink fists and pounded them again and again, as if she were pounding Xiao Mo's chest.
"Sister, are you alright?" Xiaoqing walked into the room and saw her sister bullying the pillow, it looked like the cotton wadding was about to be knocked out.
"It's nothing!" Bai Ruxue pouted angrily, her chest heaving. "Is that brat Xiao Mo still in school?"
"No," Xiaoqing shook her head. "Brother Xiao went out."
"Huh? They went out?" Bai Ruxue blinked. "Where did that stinky Xiao Mo go?"
"We went to Qingshan Town."
Xiaoqing said.
"Brother Xiao said he went to get something and told you not to worry, sister, he'll be back in a couple of days."
Chapter 46 If you come to marry me, I will marry you.
It was the third day after Xiao Mo left Shiqiao Village.
The residence of the magistrate of Qingshan County.
Sun Siyuan, the magistrate of Qingshan County, strode towards the villa where Xiao Mo lived.
"Xiao Mo." Sun Siyuan walked into the courtyard, his face beaming with joy.
"Lord Sun." Xiao Mo put down the book in his hand, stood up and bowed to Sun Siyuan.
“Just now, Lei the blacksmith’s apprentice came over and said that what you wanted has been made. Do you want to go and pick it up now?” Sun Siyuan asked.
“Of course,” Xiao Mo’s eyes also lit up. “I have troubled Lord Sun these past two days. I will definitely repay you for the gold you borrowed.”
"Haha, no rush, no rush, it's just a little gold," Magistrate Sun said with a smile.
Two days ago, after arriving in Qingshan City, Xiao Mo found Magistrate Sun and expressed his desire to borrow some gold to forge something.
Sun Siyuan was originally worried about what to give Xiao Mo that would not be cliché but would also deepen their relationship.
After all, once Xiao Mo enters the court as an official, he will see him less often.
However, after passing the imperial examination, Xiao Mo was not short of money, and he seemed to have no desires.
Many wealthy men offered him gifts, but he refused them all.
Therefore, Magistrate Sun really didn't know where to start.
Therefore, when Xiao Mo took the initiative to ask him for a favor, Magistrate Sun almost burst out laughing.
Magistrate Sun generously took out a gold ingot and introduced Xiao Mo to the best blacksmith in Qingshan County.
Xiao Mo gave the blacksmith the blueprints.
Because it's a small item and doesn't require any inlays, just a few carvings, it can be finished in two days.
Therefore, Xiao Mo wanted to stay in Qingshan County.
But how could Magistrate Sun possibly allow Xiao Mo to stay at an inn?
He brought Xiao Mo to live in his mansion, and they have been there ever since.
In fact, Magistrate Sun wished that Xiao Mo would never return that little bit of gold.
In this way, Xiao Mo would owe him a favor.
Sometimes, when both parties are willing to owe each other something, their relationship can become deeper.
The only two things that made Magistrate Sun feel regretful.
Firstly, the item Xiao Mo wanted to create was a small object, requiring little gold, so the favor couldn't be made larger.
Magistrate Sun wanted to give the remaining gold to Xiao Mo, but Xiao Mo politely declined and refused to accept it no matter what.
Secondly, Xiao Mo still has no interest in his own daughter.
Magistrate Sun insisted on having Xiao Mo stay in his residence, not only to deepen his relationship with Xiao Mo, but also to allow his daughter to spend more time with Xiao Mo.
Magistrate Sun was quite confident in his daughter's appearance.
Although Xiao Mo declined his offer last time, this time, they could try to make contact.
What if Xiao Mo thinks "this woman is not bad" and changes his mind?
Xiao Mo met Miss Sun several times during the meal.
When Xiao Mo was studying, Magistrate Sun deliberately sent his daughter to deliver tea.
After spending the last two days together, it turns out that Miss Sun has really fallen for Xiao Mo.
However, Xiao Mo never even glanced at Miss Sun.
Miss Sun even asked her father to find a way for her to marry Xiao Mo.
But what solutions could Magistrate Sun come up with?
Magistrate Sun has done his own investigation.
Xiao Mo's sweetheart should be that white girl from Shiqiao Village, regardless of her appearance.
The young woman in white took care of Xiao Mo, weaving cloth and collecting herbs to earn money for his studies.
If I were to use any means necessary, not only would Xiao Mo hold a grudge, but if word got out, my reputation would be completely ruined.
It can only be said that Xiao Mo and his daughter were not destined to be together.
After a stick of incense had burned, Xiao Mo and Magistrate Sun arrived at the entrance of Lei's blacksmith shop.
"Magistrate, Mr. Xiao." The blacksmith Sun, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and shirtless, hurriedly came out and bowed to them in the manner of a scholar.
"Blacksmith Lei, is what Mr. Xiao wanted ready?" Magistrate Sun asked.
"Alright, alright, please wait a moment, gentlemen."
Lei the blacksmith washed his hands in a bucket of water, dried them with a clean towel, and then took out a brocade box from the cabinet: "Please take a look, gentlemen."
"Thank you for your hard work, Blacksmith Lei." Xiao Mo accepted the brocade box with both hands and opened it.
A golden object appeared before Xiao Mo and Lord Sun.
Lord Sun took a closer look and couldn't help but nod in approval; the blacksmith Lei's craftsmanship was indeed excellent.
Of course, it's also because Xiao Mo's drawings are beautifully designed.
Looking at this top scholar and future high-ranking official, Lei the blacksmith asked somewhat nervously, "Is Mr. Xiao satisfied?"
Xiao Mo nodded: "Satisfied."
Lei the blacksmith breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad you're satisfied, Mr. Xiao."
"Blacksmith Lei, keep your change." Seeing that Xiao Mo was satisfied, Magistrate Sun tossed a small piece of silver to Blacksmith Lei.
Xiao Mo could afford the wages, but precisely because Xiao Mo could afford them, Magistrate Sun paid him quickly, fearing that Xiao Mo would pay first.
"Thank you, Magistrate, thank you, Mr. Xiao," Lei the blacksmith said hurriedly, as this was almost four times his usual wage.
"Xiao Mo, now that things are settled, shall we go for a drink?" Magistrate Sun invited.
Xiao Mo quickly bowed and said apologetically, "I am grateful for Lord Sun's kindness, but Lord Sun, I am afraid I must return first."
"So eager?" Lord Sun asked in surprise.
“There is someone who has been waiting for me for a long time.” Xiao Mo looked at the brocade box. “I don’t want her to wait any longer.”
"Sister, have something to eat."
"I'm not hungry."
"But sister, you haven't eaten for two or three days."
"It's alright, I can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, I don't need to eat anything."
"Sister." Xiaoqing sighed.
Ever since Brother Xiao left, my sister has been like a lost soul, sitting in the courtyard every day waiting for him to return.
Last night, my sister heard some noise and ran out excitedly, thinking that Brother Xiao had returned. It turned out that a weasel was trying to steal the chickens in the yard.
In a fit of anger, the older sister threw all the mice into the river.
