Chapter 142 If Axue becomes your wife, would you be willing?
Su Yingxue walked out of the house. She had not been able to leave the west wing courtyard for a long time. Now when she walked out of the courtyard gate, she saw Mo Yunsheng waiting at the door in white clothes.
"Sister Axue," he was waiting outside the house, carrying a basket of cakes, with a beaming smile on his face.
"Sister Xue, these are some cakes made by my servant today. I thought you would go out early in the morning and would not have time to eat anything."
Mo Yunsheng smiled as he opened the food basket, showing her the pastries on the plate inside, and said with a smile, "It's still hot, try it quickly, see if there's anything that Sister Axue likes."
Qin Xue stretched her head and saw the cakes on the plate, she was very happy. She picked up a piece of her favorite pattern and tasted it, her mouth full of fragrance.
"Brother, you are so thoughtful." Su Yingxue said with a smile.
"Brother, did you wait for me here today?" Su Yingxue smiled and looked at Mo Yunsheng. Mo Yunsheng was like the white moonlight in the sky, as flawless and gentle as white jade. She was very fond of him.
For some reason, the moment she saw Mo Yunsheng's smile, she suddenly remembered the boy's paranoid and dark eyes under the candlelight last night, and the smile with a hint of evil and cunning in his delicate features.
Su Yingxue shook her head for no reason. Why did she think of him again?
According to Taxue, he had slipped out of the Plum Blossom Pavilion early in the morning. It seemed that the Qin family was making some moves, and he needed to go outside to make some arrangements.
It was best that he was not around now. At least, she was alone with Mo Yunsheng now, so she had to find ways to win his favor.
"Brother Mo," the two walked forward side by side, with Taxue and Mo Yunsheng's servants following behind. Everyone was excited for the first match after the ban was lifted, and they had almost rushed to the competition area long ago. How could they be like these two, lagging far behind?
There are still several hours before the game starts. Fortunately, the corridor is quiet and the scenery is beautiful, which is suitable for romance.
Su Yingxue dismissed Taxue, and Mo Yunsheng also dismissed the servant. The two sat in the pavilion in the middle of the lake and talked briefly.
"Sister Axue..." Mo Yunsheng turned around with a smile.
"Brother Mo," Su Yingxue looked at Mo Yunsheng and said softly, "Brother Mo, are you married?"
Su Yingxue looked at Mo Yunsheng with eyes filled with tenderness. Her voice was soft and sweet, like the most beautiful oriole's song.
Even if Mo Yunsheng was ignorant of the ways of the world, after hearing this, he somewhat understood what Sister Axue meant.
Qin Xue was extremely beautiful, gentle, generous, graceful, noble, kind, pure, and generous. Mo Yunsheng had known her for so long that he knew she was a good girl.
Although she was a concubine's daughter from a small family, he was just the son of a merchant. Compared with her, how noble was he?
"Yun Sheng, you are not married yet." Mo Yun Sheng understood that if Qin Xue had no interest in her, she would not ask this question.
Does this mean that Qin Xue is also in love with him? Does she share his feelings?
At first, Mo Yunsheng really only took care of her as his classmate's sister, but now after spending so much time together, he really had her pure white and lively figure and her every frown and smile in his heart and eyes.
Especially after seeing the young man who claimed to be her younger brother appear beside her, he felt uneasy, struggling, and unwilling for no reason in his heart.
But after hearing her words today, Mo Yunsheng felt that perhaps there could be further development between them.
"A man as charming and outstanding as Brother Mo, at his age now, doesn't he have a marriage contract?" Su Yingxue looked at Mo Yunsheng in front of her and couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, a good man can also be hidden.
Chu Xingchen's reckless advances last night had truly frightened her. She was truly terrified that one day, Chu Xingchen would forcefully possess her. She had seen the deep, possessive look in his eyes last night. It was like a nightmare, making her want to resist and escape for no apparent reason.
Su Yingxue thought deeply all night and still felt that special times require special treatment.
She was only forced to agree verbally last night, but if she and Mo Yunsheng were engaged, according to the laws of Dasheng, with the approval of her parents and the matchmaker, and with a marriage certificate with an official seal, the marriage would be confirmed.
Even if she married a few years later, no one else could marry an unmarried woman who had already been registered with the government. This could also be a reason to reject Chu Xingchen.
After all, when it comes to marriage certificates, it’s a first come first served basis.
If that didn't work out, she could also ask her brother to arrange a marriage. That would be faster, but the most urgent thing was that she had to know Mo Yunsheng's feelings.
Mo Yunsheng's ambitions were to serve the imperial court, and he was likely unintentionally seeking to become a consort. Qin Xue's current status was quite appropriate. But I didn't know what he thought.
"Originally, my parents hoped that Yunsheng would get married after passing the imperial examination." Mo Yunsheng smiled gently. He looked at the girl in front of him who was looking at him with hope, holding her chin and looking at him, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm.
"Firstly, Yunsheng has never met the person he likes before. Secondly, men all value fame and status. Yunsheng has been studying hard in the cold and cold classroom all these years and has never thought about these romantic things." Mo Yunsheng explained gently.
"Thirdly, Yun Sheng is actually the son of a merchant. Although his ancestors had some wealth, they were in an extremely awkward position in Kyoto."
"Merchant sons don't hold official positions, and they're ranked last among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans, so marriage isn't the best choice," Mo Yunsheng answered truthfully. In the eyes of the world, his background wasn't as good as that of Qin Xue, a son of a noble family with a illegitimate family background. After all, his ancestors held official positions, and he was considered the son of an official.
Therefore, even if he has decent looks and knowledge, in the eyes of ordinary noble ladies, even if he is the wife of a merchant's son, he may not be as good as the concubine of a noble family, who has a slightly higher status.
"It's a pity that such a romantic man like Brother Yunsheng has some people who are blind to his true potential and don't know how outstanding Brother Mo is..." Su Yingxue was secretly delighted when she heard this. So that's how it is. They are both unmarried. This might be the best news today.
"Brother Mo, what do you think of Axue?" Su Yingxue thought about it and thought, why not ask more directly?
Mo Yunsheng's fair face flushed slightly upon hearing this. Perhaps it was because Su Yingxue's question was too direct, or perhaps it was impolite, but for a moment, Mo Yunsheng threw away all propriety and felt a tinge of smug joy.
It seemed that deep down in his heart, he did not reject Qin Xue.
Or, to be frank, after spending these days together, he felt that Qin Xue was a good girl.
She never thought that his status as a merchant's son was inferior to others. She was kind and considerate, and her beauty was unforgettable.
Now that the beauty suddenly asked him this, he had never spoken to other women like this since he was a child, and he felt a little nervous.
"Sister Axue, it's very good." Mo Yunsheng blushed, and the white jade mixed with a little peach pink was also very pleasing to the eye.
"Then, if..." Su Yingxue looked at the shy man in front of her. For some reason, she suddenly wanted to tease him. "If it were so, would you be willing to let Ah Xue be your wife?"
