975 This Life and Eternity, There is No One Else! (1/2)
Everyone was sticking their neck out in anticipation. Only Jun Mo Xie leaned on the chair in a half-sitting, half-lying position as he conversed with Miao Xiao Miao.
”Miss Miao, don't you find it inconvenient to be wearing this veil?” Jun Mo Xie asked.
”Inconvenient? No! Why do you ask?” Miao Xiao Miao looked at him oddly.
”I just thought that a veil shouldn't be worn for too long. You see, it is spring time now; sand and winds are strong, so it does have a beautifying effect on a girl wearing a veil. But you shouldn't be wearing it everyday, ah? This is extremely bad for the skin. The spring winds, summer rain, autumn frost, and winter snow are all blessings from the Heavens. Even our appearances have to be under the mercy of nature to be able to truly exhibit its beauty, ah…”
”Brother Mo's words do make sense, but the veil… it's a lot to explain.” Miao Xiao Miao sighed lightly.
”Oh… Haha, I just looking at Miss Miao's expressions is enough to make anyone feel intoxicated. If one day, I am lucky to see the beautiful face under the veil, what sort of great fortune would that be ah.” Jun Mo Xie rubbed his nose, noticing that the other party did not seem keen on continuing this topic of the veil. He was also just trying to find topics to waste time, so he just replied politely and put an end to it.
But the moment his sentence left his mouth, he noticed Miao Xiao Miao shunning his gaze bashfully! Through the layer of white silk, he could distinctly tell Miao Xiao Miao's porcelain skin turn red rapidly, to the point that even her neck was bright red!
And some people nearby who had overheard his sentence looked at Jun Mo Xie as if they had seen a monster. Some young men looked at Jun Mo Xie as if he had murdered their fathers, as if they were on the verge of pouncing on him to rip him to shreds!
”Um… what is wrong? Did I say something wrong?” Jun Mo Xie rubbed his head in confusion. I had only paid her a compliment; is there a need for you guys to be this agitated?
”Since your arrival in the Misty Illusory Manor, has Brother Mo met any other young ladies?” Miao Xiao Miao did not reply to his question. Instead, she asked him back. She still had an embarrassed look in her eyes, but she managed to calm herself.
Jun Mo Xie jolted, instantly remembering. He had always neglected this unusual phenomenon.
Since I arrived in Misty Illusory Manor, I don't think I have seen any young lady. It doesn't count if its in Cao Guo Feng's courtyard, but since I came to Heart Fantasy City, I did not see a single one either! If I really have to count, aside from Miao Xiao Miao here, there is only Little Beansprout!
What? Did the girls of the Misty Illusory Manor not go shopping on the streets?
Those few women I've met on the streets are also old aunties… Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
What's happening?
Seeing the confusion in Jun Mo Xie's eyes, Miao Xiao Miao giggled. ”Young Master does not hail from the Misty Illusory Manor, so it's understandable for you not know the reasons. In the Misty Illusory Manor, we are extremely strict in the segregation of males and females! Girls who have yet to be betrothed are generally not allowed to go out of their homes… Even if it's occasionally, they have to wear veils. Even if they are in their own homes, they have to wear their veils when meeting visitors they are unfamiliar with…
”In some families that are stricter, girls will have to don a veil after they turn thirteen. Even their own birth father cannot see her face. Only when she finds a life partner and gets married, the husband removes the veils and they can finally stop wearing it…”
”Um um um…” Young Master Jun was getting awkward, which was extremely rare. He had never expected that a random line he tossed out had directly concerned the privacy and lifelong happiness of women!
This is really…
”In the Misty Illusory Manor, there is a poem that goes like this.” A look of daze appeared in Miao Xiao Miao's eyes as she recited slowly. ”A sixteen year old daughter is beautiful,”
Like a snow white shawl of worldly affairs;
This life and eternity, there is no one else
Three eternities determined with the glance of her husband!”
Jun Mo Xie widened his eyes as his mouth hung open. He only felt like he was a pig head! If she wore a veil, that was her problem! It was her choice! Why must you run your mouth? And of all things, you just have to ask… Now great, you've asked for a huge trouble now, and you're really in trouble now…
Young Master Jun naturally understood the meaning of this poem. He was no stranger to this concept. Because there were some ethnic groups in the grasslands that were like this too…
It was a little similar to the meaning behind the husband unveiling the bride on their wedding night…
Miao Xiao Miao continued to speak softly. ”In the Misty Illusory Manor, almost all girls hope that the person unveiling their white veil is the one they are attracted to. If that is the case, then it is the most blissful moment of their lives… Otherwise, it will just be the beginning of a nightmare…”
