Long Er didn't know Ju Muer's little thoughts, he was busy while looking forward to the arrival of the wedding.
Before getting married, there are still many things to do, such as ceremonial embroidery, wedding dresses for sedan chairs, wedding banquet dishes, house decorations, various purchases, etc.
Just the embroidered mascots and wedding clothes that need to be prepared have already filled three pages, plus other miscellaneous things, after the preparation of the whole wedding, the preparation matters have filled a booklet.
Long Er made up his mind that the wedding should be held in a big way, all items must be the best, and the guest list is full of ten pages, not to mention that Yuma Yu is too busy, the whole Long Mansion is about to turn upside down.
Why make a big deal? Because Long Er did not forget to make money when he got married.
The more guests you invite, the more gifts and money you will receive, and the larger the scale of the wedding banquet, the more decent the guests will be. After doing the math, you can make a profit without losing money.
These are all calculated by Long Er early on. He has to earn back the reward from the matchmaker and various expenses of the wedding, so that he can feel at ease.
While Long Er was busy thinking about money and silver, Ju Muer was thinking about her secret.
One day, Ju Muer found an excuse to go shopping and went into the city. She walked slowly past the gate of Xichuntang three times, then went shopping, and then ordered a bowl of tofu nao at the Kou Tofu shop on Xichuntang Street. She was sitting in a corner of the store eating, when a woman sat beside her and called her softly: "Miss Mu'er."
"Miss Yueyao."
Lin Yueyao looked left and right, but there was no one around, and people in the distance didn't pay attention to them, so she asked in a low voice, "Miss, is there any news for me?"
Hearing her question, Ju Muer knew that it was okay to speak at the moment, so she took out two piano scores from her bosom and handed them over: "I don't have much news, but I just want to ask the girl to help me keep these two piano scores."
Lin Yueyao took it: "What's in it?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I memorized some things, maybe I can use them in the future. But people often come and go to my place, and my eyesight is inconvenient, so I don't know if someone will dig it out and find it. It's safer to stay here with the girl."
"There is something about Mr. Shi and Yibai..." Before Lin Yueyao finished speaking, she saw the owner of the tofu shop approaching with a tofu brain, so she quickly shut up.
Ju Muer finished eating the tofu nao with a normal expression, and said to Lin Yueyao: "It's good for a girl to be determined to practice the piano well. There is no shortcut here, only practice more. I'll go first. You can come to me again with questions.”
The owner of the tofu shop hurriedly said, "Miss, go slowly."
Ju Muer nodded in agreement, and went out. Lin Yueyao ate the tofu nao calmly, and put the two piano scores in her arms as if nothing had happened.
Ju Muer had something on her mind, so she walked slowly and thought all the way, but she didn't want to but ran into Ding Yanshan on the way.
Ding Yanshan was furious when she saw Ju Muer. This blind woman not only confuses Second Master Long and robs Ding Yanshan of her favorite husband-in-law, but also makes her sister unable to hold her head up in front of her brother-in-law, causing her sister to cry behind her back countless times. Not only that, but my father also taught my sister a lesson for this matter.
Ding Yanshan remembered all these grievances on Ju Muer's head.
So seeing Ju Muer at this time, it was really an enemy meeting, and she was extremely jealous. Ding Yanshan's violent temper could not tolerate Ju Muer's safety. She rushed over and slapped Ju Muer head-on, snatched her bamboo stick, threw it far away, and pointed at Ju Muer's nose He yelled at her as a vixen, and said that her delusion to marry into the Long family was just a dream, so let her wait and see. Ding Yanshan finished cursing and walked away.
Ju Muer fell to the ground, got up and lost her way, and she didn't know where the bamboo stick was. She was insulted in full view, and she was very embarrassed. In the end, someone on the side of the road saw that she was blind, and kindly picked up the bamboo stick for her, and pointed her in the direction, so she was able to go home.
This incident reached Long Er's ears that night, and he was so angry that his seven orifices were smoked.
He was worried about Ju Muer's liver pain, so he didn't care about the late hour and the disagreement with the etiquette. He rode his horse and quietly went to the woods behind the wine shop, jumped in from the backyard wall, and went straight to Ju Muer's boudoir.
Ju Mu'er didn't sleep peacefully, like a dream but not a dream, her heart flustered badly, she suddenly felt someone beside the bed while staring in a daze, and she opened her eyes suddenly in fright. Before she could scream, a big palm covered her mouth: "It's me."
Ju Muer was stunned, and Long Er said again: "It's me, I heard that you were bullied on the street today, I'm here to see you."
"Second master?"
"right."
Ju Muer rushed over suddenly, Long Er was so frightened that he quickly caught her, and she would have to fall on the bed if she was a little slower.
Ju Muer hugged him tightly, making Long Er's heart ache: "That shrew scared you, didn't she?"
Ju Muer didn't speak, and Long Er scolded her again: "Why did you go out secretly without a guard? Why didn't you come to me when you were bullied? You can still sleep like this?"
He couldn't sleep by himself, so he had to come and see her, but she slept like a pig. Long Er had a stomach to scold her, but before he finished speaking, Ju Muer asked, "It's already dawn?" But why did she feel as if she hadn't slept for long
Long Er choked back those words abruptly.
It was wonderful that they were once again talking about something and the other about something.
"It's not yet dawn." The answer was gritted.
"Oh." Ju Muer replied blankly, and buried her head in Long Er's arms. She had a nightmare just now, and it was good to have him by her side now. She felt relaxed and started to feel sleepy again.
Long Er frowned, doubting whether the silly girl was awake or not.
"who I am?"
"Second master." She replied in a daze.
"Really?" He deliberately played against the tune.
The words entered Ju Mu'er's mind a little too late, she sat up straight suddenly, and half woke up with fright: "Isn't it the second master?"
"Who is it if it's not me?" Long Er was so angry that his teeth itch, this girl could really be angry with him when she was awake, and she could also be angry with him when she was confused.
Ju Muer blinked, and was more than half awake: "Why did the second master come to my room before dawn?"
Long Er froze and didn't speak, thinking that if she dared to babble with him about something that was not in line with etiquette, he would be angry and show her.
But Ju Mu'er didn't say those things like Ju Daddy and Yu Nanny did. What she said was: "It's so cold. Second Master, can I wrap up a quilt and talk to you?"
Long Er's heart suddenly softened again: "Lie down quickly."
Ju Muer lay down quite obediently and quickly, and automatically and consciously wrapped herself tightly with the quilt.
"Don't close your eyes." Long Er leaned against the head of the bed, looked at her carefully by the moonlight, then pinched her face lightly, and asked, "Did you get beaten today?"
"Um."
"Which side did you hit?"
"It's the side you're pinching now."
Long Er's hand paused, and he took it back. After a while, he reached out again, stroked her face and said, "I will get it back for you."
"Hmm." Ju Muer didn't care much about this, what made her panic was something else.
"How to ask if you don't ask?"
"How?" She asked cooperatively, but in fact she wanted to sleep very much.
"I'll go and beat her father, and her father will teach her a lesson." He heard the report of the snatching marriage, and Ding Yanxiang was made to kneel and her father slapped her twice.
"Yeah." Ju Mu'er didn't have the consciousness of being a party at all, and her lack of effort made Long Er feel boring. He shook her, "Don't sleep, just say something that makes me happy."
In the middle of the night, did he come here specially to let her cheer him up
"Why is Second Master unhappy?"
"Two days ago, I got the news that the business of Maoping City and Ce City was robbed by other companies. No wonder those bosses didn't come this year."
Ju Muer reached out her hand from under the quilt, groped for his big palm, held it, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the second master will earn it back soon."
"Hmph." Long Er pinched her little palm. He is the Second Master Long, of course he can earn it back, but what he earns is not earned here, it is different.
"The second master sent them wedding invitations. They just gave up the second master's business, so they must be trembling in their hearts. The second master's marriage is a big event, and it's okay not to give gifts, and it's not okay to give gifts if they don't go well."
Long Er was taken aback for a moment, and finally laughed out loud, this cunning girl really understood him. He really sent someone to send out the wedding invitation yesterday, how could he be willing not to let those "renegade" guys spit out some good things
"The second master smiled, is the second master happy?"
Long Er curled his mouth: "Not yet."
Ju Muer frowned, looking distressed: "Then what should I do? Why don't the second master go back to bed early, and be happy when he falls asleep."
"Do you think everyone is like you?" Long Er saw that she was so sleepy that her eyes were closed, and couldn't help poking her on the head, "I just love to sleep, and I can sleep at night when I get angry during the day."
"I can't sleep well no matter what. I didn't sleep well before. I feel at ease now that you are here. Very sleepy, Second Master."
"Second Master is not sleepy." Long Er grinned, she said she could sleep soundly only when he was by his side, was she talking to him? "You are being silly, my master is kind, I will stay here with you, sleep well."
Ju Muer shrank her neck from being pinched, and buried half of her head in the quilt. After answering "OK", I really want to fall asleep.
Long Er leaned over and watched her sleeping with her eyes closed. Her long eyelashes are like small fans, and the moonlight reflects half of her small face exposed outside the quilt. He stretched out his hand to tuck the corner of the quilt for her, and she subconsciously turned her head and rubbed against his palm flatteringly.
