Quick travel: the leisurely life of cannon fodder

The next day, Mu Xi woke up to find a room full of gifts.

Mu Xi's relatives also came to the manor early!

Mu Xi looked at her four fathers, two older brothers, and two younger brothers walking around and chatting among the people in the room.

So busy!

Fortunately, the hall was big enough, otherwise there would not be enough people to sit down. There were more than a dozen cousins ​​from Mu Xi's biological father's side, and several other relatives from her other father's side.

Not to mention Mu Xi, even the original owner didn't recognize all of these cousins. After all, there were dozens of them in total, some of whom were much older than the original owner, and there were only a few opportunities to meet each other in a year. There were probably some that the original owner had never met.

But this was just an ordinary birthday party for Mu Xi. Although there were only five girls of Mu Xi's generation in the two big families, the Chu family and the Mu family, it was not worth making such a grand ceremony, right?

Mu Xi was slightly puzzled for a moment and guessed that most of the young people just came here to show their faces and get to know each other!

"Xiao Xi, why are you just standing there in a daze? Mommy will take you to get dressed up. Today is your coming-of-age ceremony, so you have to dress up nicely. If you see any boy you like at the party, remember to tell Mommy."

Mu's mother pulled Mu Xi into the room.

A little coming of age ceremony?

what is this?

Then Mu Xi sat obediently on the stool and let her mother and several professionals do the work!

While putting on makeup, Mu Xi finally figured out what was going on!

For women in this world, the two most important birthday parties are the minor coming-of-age ceremony at age 20 and the coming-of-age ceremony at age 30.

During the coming-of-age ceremony, women will select several candidate husbands. After nearly ten years of testing, the candidate for the legal husband will be officially confirmed before the coming-of-age ceremony!

Although women must have four husbands and their status are equal in name, the status of the legal husband, or the first husband, is relatively special and he has a lot of say.

The most obvious reflection is the issue of children's surname. The children of the principal husband can take their father's surname, while the children of other husbands, sons can take their father's surname, and daughters need to take their mother's surname. Of course, there are exceptions, which require negotiation between the two families!

There is also the issue of how the wife allocates her time, which is usually split between the first and the husband, with the other half allocated to the wife.

It’s like Mu’s mother married Mu’s father, and Mu’s father is the one in charge of the Mu family, so Mu’s mother is equivalent to the mistress of the Mu family!

Mu's mother's original surname was Chu, and her name was Chu Zhaoyan!

Most family heirs will only be the legal husband, after all, this is related to the allocation of family resources and long-term development.

Of course, as long as a woman is capable enough, she can be the mistress of several families, and it is not impossible for her to marry the family heir.

Therefore, the selection of the first wife is particularly important, as it is related to the marriage between the two families!

After understanding the situation, Mu Xi was extremely glad that she came a week earlier, otherwise the original owner would have chosen the wrong person. Mu Xi felt uneasy just thinking about it!

After all, the original owner was bewitched by a few people from small families and was determined to marry those people. In the end, Mu's mother and others could not persuade the original owner and had to agree.

Those people originally wanted to use the original owner's influence to take their family to a higher level, but who knew that Mu's father and others had already seen through it, and not only did they not help, they also secretly suppressed them, leaving those families with no choice but to rely on the original owner to maintain their precarious families.

The original owner knew nothing, and everything went smoothly for her. She was coaxed through her life. Her only regret was that she had not given birth to enough children, and that she did not live as well as those girls who traveled through time!

After learning about this inside story, Mu Xi was just glad that the original owner didn't have any obsession with her husband in her previous life, otherwise, if Mu Xi took over, it would be really fatal!

"In fact, the original owner thought that their genes were bad, so she didn't let her become the woman who gave birth to the most children! Otherwise, the host would have to continue the previous relationship!"

System Xiaotian spoke in a faint voice and revealed the inside story!

Mu Xi: ???

"So what's the necessary connection between the time-traveling woman's glory and having children?"

System Xiaotian: "The original owner thinks so, I can't do anything about it!"

Mu Xi: Um...

System Xiaotian: "Host, in fact, the original owner cannot be blamed. There are too many systems in this world, and they all have an aura of lowering intelligence. Although the original owner did not marry well, she had a good family background. Forces similar to the Mu and Chu families were all targeted by the pirated system host, so the original owner was also affected and her intelligence was forcibly lowered.

And it wasn't just the effect of a pirated system. The original owner was unlucky enough to be affected by more than a dozen pirated systems, and his intelligence was lowered to the bone marrow!"

After hearing this, Mu Xi was even more speechless!

"Is the Heavenly Dao here just for fun? Letting so many systems in? Do you want to destroy it?"

System Xiaotian: "Well, this can't be blamed on the Heavenly Dao. When the wormhole first appeared, the Earthly Dao thought it was an opportunity to upgrade the world, so it didn't control it. After waking up from sleep, it found that the world was indeed upgraded, but the situation was very bad.

Then Tiandao decided to go all out and took another gamble by releasing a bunch of systems. At first, things did develop in a good direction, and then Tiandao felt relieved. He dozed off again, and when he woke up, he found that the world was about to be destroyed by the system. The things brought by the pirated systems all concealed various destructive factors.

The Earth Star Heavenly Dao was almost in despair, so he simply used his origin to return to the past, but the Heavenly Dao overestimated himself and fell into a deep sleep after returning to the past, so the Heavenly Dao could not change anything! "

Mu Xi didn’t know how many times she had been speechless today!

"How come this Dixing Tiandao is also a gambler? Can't they just develop according to the plan? They have to take shortcuts and cause a lot of trouble."

System Xiaotian: "This... maybe!"

Mu Xi:........

Today's mother tongue is speechless!

System Xiaotian: "But it's a relief that Tiandao has fallen asleep. Otherwise, according to Dixing Tiandao's brain circuit, who knows what kind of task he would propose!"

Hearing this, Mu Xi asked in confusion, "Uh...! Xiaotian, are you sure that the Earth Star is gone, but our reward is still there?"

System Xiaotian said nonchalantly, "How can it be so easy to perish! It's just degeneration! Isn't all this the result of the Heaven's own choice? Who can be blamed?"

After hearing this, Mu Xi didn't plan to go to the trouble of saving the Earth for the time being. She just wanted to complete the mission and enjoy life!

"Okay, girl, stop being in a daze and change into your dress!"

When Mu Xi heard what her mother said, she came to her senses and put on the skirt that her family had carefully prepared!
