Yan Mu got up early today, so it was extremely rare that he caught up with Yu Yuan to go to work.
She hurriedly put on her clothes, with her black hair loose, she happily wanted to ask Yu Yuan for a good morning kiss.
As a result, as soon as he got to the yard, he saw a group of people surrounding Yu Yuan asking questions non-stop.
It seems that with yesterday's adjustment and lubrication, Yu Yuan got along well with the people in the bookstore.
Yan Mu was happy from the bottom of his heart.
"Amu." Seeing Yan Mu, Yu Yuan felt like seeing a savior.
"Good morning, what are you talking about?" Yan Mu came to Yu Yuan's side with a smile.
Yan Mu is the boss, everyone felt a little embarrassed when she came.
"It's nothing, I'm just asking Mr. Yu about some official affairs." Xiaoqing said with a haha.
Yan Mu and Yu Yuan are an unmarried couple, and everyone in the bookstore knows it.
Seeing Yan Mu approaching, they avoided them consciously, leaving only Yan Mu and Yu Yuan behind.
Yu Yuan led Yan Mu into the room.
"Aren't you going to work?" Yan Mu asked.
"No rush." Yu Yuan asked Yan Mu to sit in front of the mirror, and picked up a comb to comb Yan Mu's hair.
As he recalled carefully, he quickly pulled up a beautiful bun with his hands.
"It's amazing." Yan Mu admired.
Ashamed to say, she is handicapped, even if she wears books for a long time, she still only can wear a bun.
"Yesterday Qi Er gave me a book, and I learned from that." After hearing Yan Mu's compliment, Yu Yuan's eyes were dyed with warmth.
"What book?" Yan Mu was curious.
"It seems to be called..." Yu Yuan recalled it for a while, and said honestly: "The title of the book is "100 Things Men Must Learn Before Marriage"."
"...Is there such a good book?" Yan Mu's expression was dull, and his red lips were slightly parted.
"I only read the first fifty, and haven't read the last fifty." Yu Yuan felt his heart beat faster when he thought of the last fifty in the book.
But Yu Yuan's face is still calm and composed.
Fortunately, Yan Mu didn't ask him the difference between the first fifty and the last fifty.
Yu Yuan inserted the hairpin for Yan Mu, and picked up the eyebrow pencil to draw his eyebrows.
Yan Mu was afraid that Yu Yuan would be late for work, so he stopped him.
"After marriage, I have plenty of time to paint." She whispered.
"... Mmm." Thinking of the approaching wedding, the corners of Yu Yuan's mouth could not stop rising.
After sending Yu Yuan away, Yan Mu couldn't wait to borrow the book "100 Things Men Must Learn Before Marriage".
This book should also be a derivative of the world, which sounds quite interesting.
However, when Yan Mu turned the first page, the smile on the corner of his mouth froze.
On the first page, there is a big line: As a husband, you must never spoil your concubine or destroy your wife.
Considering the background of the times, there is nothing wrong with this sentence.
But the word "concubine" pierced deeply into Yan Mu's heart.
The lack of self-confidence surged up again, and Yan Mu put down the book sullenly. The mood suddenly fell.
Probably because of her parents' divorce, Yan Mu has never had much confidence in love.
Now that it is an era when taking concubines is legal, she will inevitably feel a little worried.
Yan Mu sighed, and returned the book.
It was a big brother in the bookstore who lent her books. Seeing that she was depressed, the big brother was a little worried.
"Shopkeeper Yan, what's the matter with you?" The eldest brother asked cautiously.
"You... How many wives do you have?" Yan Mu hesitated.
"I only have one wife!" The elder brother scratched his head.
Yan Mu was overjoyed, and was about to speak when he heard his elder brother add another sentence.
"But I still have a concubine and a housemate." The eldest brother said.
"...Then isn't your wife jealous?" Yan Mu couldn't help but ask.
"No." The eldest brother said honestly, "If the concubine Tong Fang gave birth to a child, it will be recorded under the eldest Fang's name."
"Is that so..." Yan Mu walked into the room a little disappointed.
She looked at the pink curtain and let out a long breath.
If Yu Yuan takes a concubine in the future, what should she do
Yan Mu closed his eyes.
… unimaginable.
Yan Mu buried his head in the quilt a little depressed.
She got up early today and was sleepy when she was lying on the bed.
In the haze, Yan Mu had a dream.
In the dream, she seemed to return to her childhood.
The little girl huddled under the quilt, tremblingly listening to the man and woman accusing each other.
She was trembling, tears dripping from her eyes.
After the insults and accusations, there was the sound of throwing things.
Then there was a "bang", and the door was slammed hard.
Yan Mu hesitated for a moment before crawling out of the bed with her short legs.
She is still a little meat dumpling at this time, and she can't even walk steadily.
Yan Mu struggled to maintain his balance, tiptoed to open the door, and walked unsteadily to his mother.
The mother sat on the ground decadently, her hair messed up.
Yan Mu opened her small hands and hugged her mother.
"Mom, don't cry." The immature childish voice comforted clumsily.
"Mumu, Dad doesn't want us anymore." Mother hugged Yan Mu, choked up and said, "Dad fell in love with other women."
After all, the mother couldn't help crying anymore.
"Mom don't cry, Mumu will stay with her." Yan Mu patted her mother's back with her small hands.
Her eyes were full of helplessness, but she still pretended to be a little adult to comfort her mother.
"Mumu, mom only has you."
In the intermittent sobbing, Yan Mu heard her mother say this in her ear.
It seemed that her mother's words were still lingering in her ears, and Yan Mu woke up instantly.
"Mom..." Yan Mu looked at the tent and murmured.
There seemed to be some commotion in the yard, and then Xiaoqing came and knocked on her door.
"Miss Yan..."
Xiaoqing hesitated to speak, but Yan Mu was still immersed in his own thoughts, so he didn't notice Xiaoqing's abnormality.
"What's wrong?" Yan Mu adjusted his emotions, then rolled over and got out of bed.
"Someone is coming from the palace, and I want you to receive the order." Xiaoqing gritted her teeth.
When he remembered that Yan Mu didn't know what happened, he felt a dull pain in his heart.
"Okay." Yan Mu tidied up quickly and came to the yard.
The moment he stepped into the yard, Yan Mu felt something was wrong with the atmosphere.
The face of the eunuch delivering the decree was beaming, but the guys in the small courtyard lowered their heads with complicated expressions.
"Miss Yan is overjoyed." Eunuch Li smiled and said, "Your Majesty Yu did a great job in rescuing the Empress on her birthday. The Emperor ordered me to bring a reward."
After all, Eunuch Li ordered people to carry a pile of gold, silver, jewelry, jade and antiques.
Yan Mu was about to thank her, but saw that Eunuch Li brought out another very iconic girl.
Yan Mu froze in place for a moment.
She seemed to have expected something, her pink lips suddenly lost their color and trembled a little.
Sure enough, Eunuch Li's next sentence was: "This is one of the beauties in the south of the Yangtze River. The emperor specially rewarded Mr. Yu as a concubine."
The world seemed to be paused, and even the wind stopped blowing.
Yan Mu only felt the blood rushing up.
She thanked her in a daze, and sat on the wicker chair blankly.
She didn't know when Eunuch Li left, and she couldn't feel the cold of winter anymore.
She remembered the dream she had just had.
Her mother's sobs were still lingering in her ears, which made her even more headache.
Yan Mu stood up tremblingly, wanting to go back to the room to be quiet by herself, but found that the guys in the courtyard were all looking at her worriedly.
"Miss Yan... are you okay?" Xiao Qing worried.
"Me?" Yan Mu was stunned, then raised his head and showed a pale smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"But..." Xiaoqing wanted to say more, but seeing Yan Muqiang's spirited state, he couldn't speak again.
Yan Mu looked at the beauty beside her.
The beauty is tall and slim, with a charming face.
Yan Mu looked down at his flat chest.
She seems to be a completely different type of beauty.
Yan Mu has no enmity with her, and even admires the beauty's beauty.
But when Yan Mu thought that the beauty in front of him was a concubine bestowed to Yu Yuan by the emperor, Yan Mu felt trembling all over.
Yan Mu didn't want to talk to her, and was going to go directly to the side room to be quiet.
"Ah Choo." The sound of a small sneeze came to Yan Mu's ears following the sound of the wind.
Yan Mu stopped involuntarily.
She turns around.
Although the beauty's clothes are not thin, but standing in the wind, it is inevitable that she will catch a little cold.
Yan Mu pursed her lips, staring at the beauty without speaking.
The beauty hugged her body pitifully, and looked at Yan Mu timidly.
Yan Mu couldn't hold back after all.
She took off her fox fur cloak without a word, and walked over to the beauty.
"Here you are!" Yan Mu's tone was a little aggressive.
However, due to the height difference between her and the beauty, looking down on Yan Mu from the beauty's point of view, it looks a bit cute.
Yan Mu stuffed the fox fur cloak into nobody's arms, then turned around and walked into the house.
She was very angry.
Yan Mu walked quickly into the wing room, really ready to close the door and be quiet for a while, but found that the beauty followed closely.
"What are you doing?" Yan Mu's attitude was a little offended.
"... cold." The beauty looked at Yan Mu pitifully.
Yan Mu almost couldn't get up in one breath.
She stared at the beauty.
The beauty twisted her veil, raised her head from time to time and looked at Yan Mu nervously.
The face of the beauty is indeed born well.
If he saw this kind of beauty on the street, Yan Mu might sneak a few more peeks at her.
It's a pity that this beauty is a rival in love.
Yan Mu stared at the beauty, but the beauty seemed unaware.
Seeing that Yan Mu didn't speak, she thought Yan Mu had acquiesced, so she moved in step by step.
She also turned around and closed the door.
"Miss Yan, your room smells so good." The beauty sniffled and smiled nicely.
Yan Mu was defeated.
She is a dog, so she can't be cruel to a beauty.
Yan Mu became even more angry.
She was sitting on the table and was about to drink water, but the beauty poured her a glass ahead of time with great insight.
Yan Mu didn't answer.
The beauty put the tea back on the table a little disappointed.
"Also ask Miss Yan to give this slave a name." The beauty suddenly knelt down and said.
"...?"
Yan Mu didn't react for a moment.
"What are you doing?" Yan Mu panicked.
This was the first time someone knelt down to her.
Yan Mu subconsciously went to help.
The two held hands together, each trembling.
"Why are your hands so cold?" Yan Mu frowned.
Her hands were cold enough, but the beauty's hands were colder than hers.
"I have been cold since I was a child." The beauty stood up coquettishly.
The corners of her eyes raised slightly, revealing a charm.
With such a pair of beautiful eyes, any look in a casual way looks very charming.
Yan Mu almost couldn't hold back.
Such a beauty, even she finds it all charming, so what about Yu Yuan
What will happen when Yu Yuan sees him
While thinking wildly, Yan Mu handed the stove to the beauty.
The beauty was very happy holding the hand stove.
"Miss Yan, you haven't given your slave a name yet," the beauty said softly.
"You are not allowed to call yourself a slave." Yan Mu sounded awkward.
With such a self-proclaimed beauty, Yan Mu always has the illusion that he is a vicious slave owner.
"Oh..." The beauty was stunned for a moment, then nodded obediently: "Slave... I'll listen to Miss Yan."
"I don't have a name, so please ask Miss Yan to give me a name." The beauty insisted.
"Why do you want me to give you a name?" Yan Mu was puzzled.
The beauty lowered her head shyly, and said: "Originally, according to the rules, Master Yu gave the name."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Yan Mu's body froze.
The beauty quickly said again: "But I want Miss Yan to give her a name."
After the beauty finished speaking, seeing that Yan Mu still looked confused, she said shyly, "Because I like Miss Yan more."
Yan Mu was taken aback by the beauty's sudden confession.
"Why do you like me..." Yan Mu asked in a low voice.
She regarded the beauty as a rival in love, but the beauty regarded her as a friend.
Yan Mu felt even more awkward.
"Because Miss Yan is a woman, but she has been reused by His Highness the Second Highness." The beauty said seriously: "In the past, everyone thought that women only need to support their husbands and children at home, but Miss Yan let us know that women can also be changed. way of living."
The beauty's eyes lit up: "Miss Yan is a role model for contemporary women."
"Don't..." Yan Mu's cheeks were flushed from the praise, "You're talking too highly of me."
"Miss Yan, do you know how happy I was when I found out that I was given to Mrs. Yu?" The beauty started to talk more, "When I think of being able to spend time with Miss Yan day and night, I am so happy that I can't sleep."
"... So, you like me more than Yu Yuan?" Yan Mu was stunned for a moment before asking.
The beauty nodded without hesitation.
Good guy, it turns out that the beauty is her fan girl.
Yan Mu was in a complicated mood.
However, since the beauty likes her more, Yan Mu thought of a solution.
The author has something to say:
This chapter reminded me of something from my childhood, it was sad and difficult to write...
When I was writing, I was thinking, if I also had "Yu Yuan", I wouldn't be so sad at that time.
