A farmer's daughter who traveled through time: Marrying a sickly man

Chapter 452: Beauty in the Eyes

"Who does Mu Chen like?" Xia Tian approached curiously.

This Muchen was injured in the earthquake and stayed in the mansion for more than a month. He often followed her around to help her and never told her that he had a crush on anyone.

Xia Tian thought about it and didn’t seem to see who he was circling around.

Muchen was a bit of a lively person, so it was not very convenient for him to move around during that period, so he was only active during meals.

"It's the girl who cooks next to you!" Shen Nian originally wanted Muchen to go directly to the girl to ask if she agreed, but Muchen shamelessly insisted that he go and talk to Xia Tian first.

"Cui Ling?" Xia Tian suddenly realized. Could it be that when the earthquake just happened, Muchen was injured, and Cui Ling liked to study food, so he fell in love with Cui Ling?

Shen Nian nodded!

Xia Tian knew about it, so he stopped disturbing Shen Nian from working and went back to his yard first.

Seeing Cuiling trying various ways to eat potatoes in the kitchen, I felt a little worried.

She had just asked them, and Cui Ling had clearly stated that she didn't want to get married, so she probably had no such thoughts about Muchen at all.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t want to get married!

Cuiyun saw her come back and quickly made tea and brought it in.

The tea bowl was placed on the table, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

I want to ask but I don’t dare to ask!

Xia Tian smiled and didn't let her worry too much. She said directly, "I went to find Ling Chuan. He was sent out by your prince to do something and he hasn't returned yet. But I have asked the prince to ask him when Ling Chuan returns. But one thing is certain, he doesn't have a girl he likes yet."

Cui Ling was delighted when she heard that Ling Chuan didn't have a girl he liked yet, because that meant she still had a chance.

But when I think about how he said he didn't have anyone he liked, it meant that he didn't have that kind of feeling for her either.

Cuiyun didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.

Xia Tian comforted her and let her go on with her work.

Cui Ling doesn’t know how to start the conversation.

She didn't find the opportunity until the afternoon when Cuiling figured out a new way to eat potatoes and excitedly brought them in for her to try.

"Cui Ling, this tastes good, very delicious." Xia Tian praised while eating something that looked like French fries.

Seeing Cuiling was very happy, Xia Tian pulled her aside and asked her quietly, "Cuiling, if someone likes you, do you want to hear it?"

Xia Tian held her hand tightly, fearing that the girl would run away before she could finish her words.

"Madam, I told you I don't want to get married!" Cui Ling stomped her feet in anger.

"Oh, I'm not asking you to get married right away, I just want you to listen to it. If you miss it, will you regret it?

"Can you at least listen to who I'm talking about? If you disagree with what I say, I won't force you." Xia Tian was helpless.

This girl's temper is like a firecracker. She gets angry before anything happens.

I don’t know if it would be compatible with Muchen’s eccentric personality if it really worked out?

Summer is a bit far away.

Cui Ling stopped struggling and said, "Then Madam, can you tell me who it is first?"

Cui Ling pouted, wondering who was causing trouble for her?

If she knew about this, she would definitely scold him to death!

"It's Muchen. It's Muchen who's attracted to you. He asked me to sound him out. Just tell me what you think and I'll reply to him."

Cui Ling blushed at what she said, but she still said bluntly, "Please help me to reject it, Madam. I don't want to get married. I just want to stay with you for the rest of my life."

After saying that, he took the tea tray and went out without waiting for Xia Tian to say anything.

Xia Tian sighed. It seemed that if Muchen wanted to get married, he still had a long way to go!

In fact, to her, Muchen is a nice person. He has a good personality, is optimistic, is good at martial arts, is handsome, loves to eat, and most importantly, he is sweet-mouthed and willing to provide emotional value.

But this is her idea. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There is nothing she can do if Cui Ling doesn't like it.

In the evening, Xia Tian conveyed Cui Ling's intention to Shen Nian. Shen Nian was stunned for a moment. He probably didn't expect that someone would refuse this.

The next day, not long after breakfast, Muchen came over.

Shen Niancai went to the governor's office. Xia Tian thought that Muchen was looking for him, so he said directly, "Your master has gone to the office."

Muchen smiled embarrassedly, "Madam, I'm not looking for the master, I'm looking for you. Please help me send this to Cui Ling. I know what she means, but I won't give up."

After saying that, he ran away like the wind without waiting for Xia Tian to speak.

When I was leaving, I almost bumped into Cui Ling who was coming in.

"How irritable!" Cui Ling muttered and glared at Muchen. Mu Chen said "sorry" and ran away.

Cui Ling stamped her feet in anger, "What are you rushing for?"

He said this angrily before entering the house.

Xia Tian was looking at the small box that Muchen placed on the table, wondering what was inside, when he saw Cui Ling walk in with a huffy look on her face.

"What's wrong? Who offended our little hot pepper?" Xia Tian joked.

"It's Muchen. He almost bumped into me when he went out just now. I don't know what he was doing in such a hurry?" Cui Ling complained.

I haven’t associated it with myself yet!

Mu Chen ran away quickly because he saw that she was embarrassed.

Xia Tian smiled and handed the box that Muchen had just brought to Cui Ling, "This is what Muchen asked me to give you."

After saying that, I won’t judge her. It all depends on Cui Ling’s own thoughts.

"For me?" Cui Ling opened it curiously. "A jade hairpin?"

Cui Ling didn’t understand for a moment what the meaning of giving her the jade hairpin was?

"Madam, this..." Cui Ling was speechless for a moment while holding the jade hairpin.

"You decide for yourself!" Xia Tian said directly, "But Muchen just asked me to convey a message to you. He knows what you mean, but he still doesn't want to give up."

Xia Tian quoted his words literally without any embellishment!

In fact, she quite admired Muchen's way of doing things. If you like someone, then go after him/her!

If you catch up, everyone is happy; if you don’t, there will be no regrets!

Cui Ling closed the box and said, "Madam, I will leave first."

She needs to go down and think about it carefully!

"Well, go ahead!" Xia Tian waved her hand to let her go.

She also took the box away.

As for whether Muchen can win the beauty in the future, it depends on how far he can go.

Anyway, she won't let Cui Ling suffer any loss.

At noon, she had lunch with Mrs. Xu, Shen Hui, her aunt, and Mrs. Cui.

Several people sat together on the kang in the warm room and talked.

"I heard that you are looking for partners for the maids around you?" Mrs. Xu asked curiously.

Xia Tian smiled and nodded. "What's the point of not being interested in each other? They're not young anymore. What I mean is that if you like someone, you should settle down first and get married sooner rather than later."

"The only capable girls around you are Ningxiang and the other four girls. You have sent them all away. What will happen to the people who serve you?" Shen Hui was a little worried.

His younger brother and Xia Tian only brought so many people with them when they came to Linzhou. If they all got married and the younger ones were not brought up yet, it would be a bit inconvenient.

"It's okay, they just got married and are still working by my side, so it won't affect anything." Xia Tian didn't care.

Anyway, she doesn't need anyone to be on duty at night, so they can just come and do the work during the day.

"Do you want me to find you a few little girls to let Ningxiang and the others take care of them first?" said my aunt.

"No, no!" Xia Tian quickly refused, "You can't ask me to bring someone with me, otherwise these girls won't want to get married."

If Cui Ling knew about this, she would definitely not agree.
