Be a paranoid boss in Tianwen

Chapter 161 Zhu Yu Wushuang (2)

"Well, women's footbinding is a bad habit, so it's natural."

Nan Xing was very happy.

To be honest, she can't appreciate her little feet, they are ugly and deformed, how can anyone have a soft spot for them.

Men's minds are really weird sometimes.

"Young master, let me lead the horse."

Seeing Nan Xing happy, Zhu Yu's nervous mood relaxed a little, and he stretched out his hand, wanting to take the rein in Nan Xing's hand.

Nan Xing raised his other hand, with a dry and warm palm, and took advantage of the situation to hold the hand she extended:
"You can hold me."

The young man's voice was clear and warm, and there was a faint smile flowing from the corners of his eyes and brows.

But Zhu Yu seemed to have happened something terrible, and suddenly shook off the young man's hand, with a look of panic and anxiety:
"My lord, whether a man or a woman can kiss each other!"

This is what her father taught.

The father also said that although the new emperor was wise and said that women can also enter the official career as officials, women are women after all, and the most important thing in this life is to care for their husbands and teach their children, and they must abide by the three obediences and four virtues.

Even if it is my husband-in-law, he has to avoid it in front of others.

Especially, she and Nan Xing are not married yet.

Nan Xing frowned slightly after looking at the empty palms and Zhu Yu who was nervously looking around.

Why did she suddenly feel that she hadn't changed at all, she seemed to be no different from when he left Beijing three years ago.

But, after all, I didn't say anything, maybe I was too sensitive:

"Go home first."

"Well, then I will lead the horse."

Lowering her head to her chest vigorously, Zhu Yu quickly grabbed the rein, as if she was afraid of touching Nan Xing again.

He just glanced at her, and Nan Xing followed beside him.

Zhu Yu was in front, with a short and thin body, like an old lady, timidly hunched over, in stark contrast to the laughing and beating girls walking by her.

Soon, Nan Fu will arrive.

The members of the Nan family knew that Nan Xing was arriving today, and everyone was waiting at the gate early. When they saw Nan Xing, they were all excited.

Including the old lady Nan who is on crutches.

Nan Xing's frown, which had been frowning all along, became even tighter.

Glancing at Zhu Yu who was silent in front of him, and then at the excited and happy old lady Nan, she clenched her fists slightly.

When he got closer, he saw the ruddy face of old lady Nan, and finally confirmed that she was not sick at all. Nan Xing's face was slightly angry, and he looked at Nan Xirou with a slightly cold gaze:

"Sister, didn't you write that your mother was seriously ill?"

The younger brother's question made Nan Xirou's eyes flicker with guilt, and he hesitated and couldn't answer.

"I asked your sister to say that. If I didn't say that, would you come back?"

Leaning on crutches, Nan Mu approached and blamed:
"What's the matter, do you still blame me?"

"My mother misses me, so I will definitely come back day and night, but I don't have to use those reasons."

His face softened a little, Nan Xing didn't look so cold anymore, he reached out and hugged her.

"Then I don't see you coming back to see me on your own initiative."

Mother Nan continued to complain, but she always had a smile on her face.

Knowing that she just blamed herself for not taking the initiative to write a letter or come back, Nan Xing could only patiently explain:

"The college has a lot of homework, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth, so I never came back."

Nan Xing was telling the truth.

He came back this time with great speed.

According to the normal speed of carriages and horses, the back and forth will be delayed for almost two months.

Mother Nan couldn't understand, she just missed her son too much, after complaining a few words, she began to care about his situation in Yingzhou.

Knowing that he has made many friends and lived a good life there, I feel a little relieved.

The servants in the mansion have prepared meals.

When a large group of people enter the mansion, dinner can be served soon.

When eating, Zhu Yu consciously stood behind Nanmu, serving her meals, with a low eyebrow and a pleasing look, not like the future young wife of the Nan family, but more like Nanmu's personal maid.

After the meal, everyone left, Nan Xing and Zhu Yu were left behind.

"Mom, do you have something to say to me?"

Seeing that Nan's mother kept holding the tea and didn't drink it, she deliberately waited for him to take the initiative to ask, so Nan Xing had no choice but to ask.

Hearing Nan Xing took the initiative to speak, Nan's mother pretended to be passive, looked at Zhu Yu who was waiting beside her, and sighed:

"You are seventeen now, young masters at your age have already married wives and had children."

After finishing speaking, he gave Zhu Yu a wink, and the latter winked, hurriedly carrying the teapot, and poured tea for Nan Xing shyly.

Mother Nan continued to say:

"Since you have a marriage contract with Zhu Yu, why don't you hurry up and get this marriage done while I'm still in good health."

The tone is full of urging.

After she finished speaking, Zhu Yu's face turned even redder.

However, her skin was not fair, so she couldn't see clearly, but the hand that poured tea for Nan Xing kept shaking.

"My mother lied to me to come back for this matter?"

Withdrawing his gaze, Nan Xing looked at Nan Mu with a half-smile, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

Nan's mother likes Zhu Yu very much, because she is different from many girls nowadays.

Since the emperor promulgated the new policy, many girls have bravely let go and entered the Royal Academy to study. They are like the sunflowers that have gradually grown up, bright and cheerful.

But this is different from the daughter-in-law that Nan's mother wants. In her mind, women should be restrained and reserved, and a woman's lack of talent is virtue.

As a woman, her main task in life is to support her husband and teach her children.

Apart from men, apart from husband's family, women's virtuous qualities are more important than talents and learning.

If a man is a big tree, a woman is a vine that clings to the tree.

Nan Xing's wording, as well as his seemingly non-existent sarcasm, made Nan's mother extremely unhappy:
"You have been studying abroad for three years, and you have learned to talk to your mother like this?"

"It was my mother who lied to me first."

From coming back, at the gate of the city until now, Nan Xing has always been angry in his heart.

When he left three years ago, he told Zhu Yu to let her relax, let her study more in her spare time, and even go to a college in Huizhou to study.

If she came to the Nan family, she would come as the future daughter-in-law of the Nan family.

Therefore, for Nanmu, you only need to be filial, and you don't have to serve her like a servant.

As for Nan Mu, he also said similar things.

But for now, nothing seems to have changed.

Rather than saying that Zhu Yu is like his wife, it is better to say that he is Nanmu's servant.

Nan Xing's blunt and forceful rebuttal made Nan's mother choke on her chest, unable to get up or down, so she could only stare at Nan Xing angrily, panting heavily:
"Are you going to piss me off?"

Seeing this, Zhu Yu hurried over to caress her back, comforting her, and at the same time frowned, persuading her in an uneasy voice:

"Mother, don't be angry. It's because I can't please you that I offend you. If mother wants to be angry, just be angry with me."

She lives in Nan's house now. What Nan's mother means is to get used to the life of Nan's house in advance.

Therefore, she has always been called Nanmu's mother.

Seeing that Nan's mother seemed really angry, Nan Xing also had a sullen face and did not speak, and the two of them were in a stalemate.

The atmosphere was extremely depressing for a while.
