"When did Gongzi Chu change his career and become a matchmaker?"
Mu Xiaoluo interrupted him and raised her eyebrows sarcastically: "I have no plans to remarry at the moment, and when I want to marry, I will ask you for help, how about it?"
Chu looked at her with a maniacal smile: "The third young lady is so smart, she should know the truth that 'after this village, there will be no such shop'!"
"Chu Gongzi is not a stupid person, he is entrusted by others, shouldn't he be loyal to others?
Mu Xiaoluo looked at his face that changed color in an instant, felt that he had pulled back a game, and smiled and teased his chin with his index finger: "You are here for the painting, that is to move your heart, why don't we talk, I can let you earn more silver and be the richest man in the Wu family!"
At this time, there were footsteps from far and near, Chu Qingfang heard that it was Wu Mingzheng, his heart moved, and he sneered: "Who is more important, silver or Jiangshan? Third Miss, you underestimate yourself!"
When Mu Xiaoluo heard this, she also saw that Wu Ming was coming from outside the courtyard, and his walking posture was the same as Xu Zheng's, and the familiar feeling made her nose sour. Books.com ( . V o Dt . c o M)
Thinking of the tragic death of herself and the fetus in her womb, her eyes slowly turned cold, and for a moment, she couldn't tell whether it was impulsive or negative, she sneered: "Jiangshan, if you want it, what's the difficulty!"
Chu was stunned for a moment, his eyes hit her, Mu Xiaoluo immediately reacted and lost her words, but she also knew that it was too late, so she had to smile hard: "Put all the money that can be earned in the world into your pocket, the emperor and Lao Tzu have to rely on you for food, what is the difference between getting the country and the country?" ha!"
"Hahaha, the third lady is really good at telling jokes......"
Chu turned around with a smile, but when he saw Wu Mingzheng's solemn face, he subconsciously raised his eyebrows and asked, "What happened?"
Wu Mingzheng stretched out his hand and pointed to the gate: "Third Miss, the queen mother asked Gonggong Liu to pass the decree, and the birthday banquet the day after tomorrow invites you to participate!"
That disguised concubine selection banquet? Mu Xiaoluo still reacted when she saw Chu Qing's frowning eyebrows, and her face suddenly darkened......
Hongmen Banquet
The thing that Emperor Wu regretted most about the second emperor of the Wu family on his sick bed was that he scattered the ways of making money related to the fortune of the country, such as salt roads and mines, with a wave of his hand, so that he was subject to the control of all families, and even his own desire to establish a prince was also swayed.
A few years ago, Zhou Guogong asked him to make a prince, and the second emperor of Wu said in a casual conversation that the second prince was calm and calm, and his way of governing the country was opposed by different forces. In a fit of rage, he rejected the theory of establishing the prince on the grounds that the princes were young and needed to be cultivated and observed.
After this trouble, Emperor Wu Er became vigilant, and Caidao was already involuntarily, so he held the military power tightly in his hands, which was the only thing he could do for the future prince. With military power, are you still afraid that you won't be able to recover your wealth?
The Wu Dynasty has four elite soldiers, the largest is the Mu family army under the command of Mu Xiaoluo's father Mu Lide, this army is a sharp weapon for the country's rebellion against the enemy, and the military exploits are obvious to all, and it is a force that the second emperor of Wu particularly relies on.
The second elite army is the elite soldiers stationed at the border pass and belonging to General Hong. It is said that this is located in Hong is a general trained by the old Marquis Mu, who can be literate and martial, has participated in hundreds of battles, and has made great achievements. In order to entrap him, Emperor Wu Er married his own sister Princess Heisei to him, and she was also a relative of the emperor.
The third elite army is very small, it is the army that Jing Zhaoyin uses to maintain the safety of the imperial city, although there are few people, they are all good men who block a hundred.
The fourth elite soldier is the Guards personally cultivated by Emperor Wu Erdi, a legend, everyone can only speculate about his existence, but there is no public display.
No one knows who is in charge of it, and no one knows how many people there are! Some people speculate that whoever gets the power of this elite army will be the next emperor, but judging by the performance of the princes, no one looks like they have already obtained the power of this army.
There are many princes of Emperor Wuer, and the most powerful ones to compete for the throne are these five princes who have reached adulthood. Except for the four princes, who were weak and had not been trained in the army, the other four princes had been trained to varying degrees.
Among them, the five princes are a little loose and not very keen on the throne, while the other three princes are fighting openly and secretly, and they all have their own forces competing for the throne.
With financial support, if you get the military power again, you will be able to win, and the Mu family army will become the first candidate for the princes.
It's just that this Mu Lide, adhering to his father's uprightness, understands his heavy responsibility, and is not interested in forming gangs at all. declares that he is only loyal to the emperor, and whoever the emperor appoints as the crown prince, Mu Jiajun will swear allegiance to whomever he wants.
Ironclad, although the princes are helpless, they are also relieved, as long as they become the prince in the right name, they are afraid that the Mu family army will not be put under the tent!
But this kind of reassurance is only temporary, as Emperor Wu's illness becomes more and more serious, the race for the position of the crown prince has also entered a white heat, Mu Jiajun is not in his hands, who can sleep!
As soon as Mu Xiaoluo crossed by, her leg was broken when she passed through, and she was busy recuperating from her injuries, so she didn't hear anything outside the window. Hearing that the queen summoned her to the palace, of course, she would not think that her cripple could still make the queen compassionate, did some homework on current affairs, and judged the situation: This is definitely a Hongmen banquet!
You're an enigma
Before Mu Xiaoluo went to the queen's banquet, she was invited by Chu Qingmad first.
In an eventful autumn, she should have been wise to protect herself, but she also had the strength to protect herself, since she felt that Chu Qingyan was the partner of choice, she couldn't help but go to this banquet.
On the way, Chunxiang muttered: "Xiaoluo, his deed hasn't been given to us yet, but the painting has been taken away, will it be a repayment?"
"No, you can rest assured that the painting is in his hand, no one will come to catch us!"
Although Mu Xiaoluo didn't know what the Yu family's compound had to do with Chu Qingfang, she just saw that the Yu family's compound, which had always been rumored to be haunted, had been calm since they moved in, so she guessed that there must be a hidden secret, and people didn't embarrass her, so she naturally wouldn't dig out other people's secrets, and it was best to be safe!
When the sedan chair arrived at Xiyuan, Chu greeted him in person, with a moon-white robe, looking handsome and extraordinary.
Mu Xiaoluo looked at the cuttlefish behind him, and thought about being carried up in a wheelchair like the last time, but he didn't expect Chu to step forward lightly, bend down and pick her up, and said to the cuttlefish without looking back: "You greet Miss Chunxiang well, and the third lady will be handed over to me!"
"Xiaoluo......" Haruka exclaimed worriedly.
"Don't worry! Young Master Chu will take care of me!"
Mu Xiaoluo was startled and then crossed Chu Qingfang's shoulder and gave Chunxiang a reassuring smile, turned her head, and smelled Chu Qingfang's smell in her nose again. This time he was mentally prepared, no longer distracted, but subconsciously sniffed, confused by the clean smell on his body.
He is a businessman, a speculator, who should be covered with the smell of copper, how did he make this spotless elegance?
I didn't go upstairs, turned into the garden behind the West Garden, and walked forward along the shade of the trees, full of greenery, birds and flowers. was easily held in the arms of a super handsome guy and walked leisurely, even if Mu Xiaoluo was calm, she was a little bit ape-like, did Chu Qingyan take her to the garden?
Glancing up at him, but met his thoughtful eyes, looking at her intently, her face suddenly turned red uncontrollably, and she subconsciously said rudely: "What are you looking at? Didn't you invite me to dinner, how did it become a garden?"
Chu was not annoyed, he was still thoughtful, but the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he smiled faintly: "Third Miss, you are a mystery!"
Mu Xiaoluo raised her eyebrows and sarcastically: "Then you invited me here today to solve the mystery?"
Chu replied lightly: "Before you married the Third Highness, it was rumored that you had no talent, no virtue, and were rude and willful; when you were beaten, it was rumored that you were jealous and had a lot of stomachs; after the old marquis took you back, it was rumored that you loved and hated clearly, and dared to love and hate...... In fact, you are very talented and generous, so why do you give people those impressions?"
Mu Xiaoluo was stunned for a moment, and raised her lips with a wry smile for a long time: "How unreliable the rumors are, why should Chu Gongzi believe them! What kind of person I am, you must have made up your mind in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't have invited me to dinner, right? After all, I have a bad reputation, and others are afraid to avoid it......
Chu Qingyan suddenly turned around, hugged her with one hand, and pulled her clothes with the other, Mu Xiaoluo was shocked, and raised her hand to hit him......
Forcing me to offend people
Chu Qingfang's head turned over Mu Xiaoluo's palm, his hand grabbed her arm, and with a push, the sleeve slipped off, and the sand on her arm was exposed in bright red.
Chu smiled lightly and evilly: "The rumors are really not credible, I didn't expect that the third lady is still a virgin, but it's a pity that she has borne so many false names in vain!"
Chu Qing's tone changed for a moment, and he said: "Who would have thought that the third young lady who is shameless and willing to fall in order to achieve her goals...... If you hug it, you'll blush!"
Mu Xiaoluo's face was black, and only then did she know what he meant. Meng Lang, who hated him, didn't open his mouth to scold, but he heard Chu Qing's long howl, jumped up, and flew to the tree with her in his arms, on tiptoe, jumped upstairs with his strength, and landed on the eaves stretched out on the second floor, and swept into the window on the third floor.
The whole set of actions is smooth and chic, Mu Xiaoluo was shocked, it is really a matter of daring to love the light skills in martial arts!
"Third Miss, don't be frightened!" Chu lightly put her on the soft couch next to the dining table, the table was already full of dishes, and there was still hot air, and the calculation was just right.
Mu Xiaoluo's eyes quickly swept over the room, this room was more elegantly arranged than the back of the West Garden, and the area was also larger. In the south corner of the wall, a huge ornate bed is curtained, and the paintings hanging on the four walls feel valuable just by looking at the color......
"What do you think of this room?Oh, I'll tell you, you're the first woman to go up to the Rain Tower......"
Chu said as if unintentionally, walked over and took a beautiful glass bottle, and said lightly: "This is a wine given to me by a Persian merchant, made from grapes, I have always liked the soft taste!
"Wine?" must have been the preserve of the court in this era!...... Mu Xiaoluo was a little moved when she saw that he brought the exquisite glass cup again, Chu Qingyan should value her with such a grand treatment!
Chu poured her wine and handed over the glass, Mu Xiaoluo obviously saw his sly smile, but she still took it.
Sure enough, both the hand and the cup were held in Chu Qing's hand, he restrained his smile a little, and said slowly: "Third Miss, you show me the side that is easy to show to others, force me to offend people, and show my martial arts in front of people...... Now it's just the two of us, why don't you open the window and say something, what do you want from me?"
"Young Master Chu is rich, I believe there will be no shortage of women! I am an abandoned woman who has a broken leg and is disliked, I don't expect the favor of my son, can you please be more restrained, don't make a look of interest to me, I think our conversation will be more open!"
Mu Xiaoluo finished smiling, and then withdrew her hand, and Chu let go lightly.
Mu Xiaoluo didn't look at his face, and naturally raised her glass and took a sip, the taste of wine is not very mellow like tea due to the process, if it is further processed, it will definitely be better than this. And the glass cup, from a modern point of view, is too rough!
These energetic words can be improved, provided that she is in a good mood, and her good mood is ...... Don't blame her for being short-sighted, it doesn't matter who is the emperor before her leg is healed, it can be seen what is most important!
Comparable
"Young Master Chu, before I speak, I want to confirm one thing, does it prove that you have passed your test by inviting me to your place where you don't easily entertain guests?"
Mu Xiaoluo stared at Chu Qingfang and asked seriously.
Chu smiled lightly: "What do you say?"
Mu Xiaoluo sighed in her heart, there was nothing she could do about this man's cunning, and now she was at a disadvantage, so she had to take risks.
"I'll just leave it at that! Master Chu, if you let me open the skylight and say something, I also feel that we can't communicate without sincerity. Since Gongzi Chu still has precautions against me, then let me state my purpose first, and then let Gongzi Chu choose whether he is willing to cooperate or not!"
She clasped her hands in the glass cup, looked at Chu lightly and said seriously: "I don't know if Gongzi Chu chose to pay attention to me because of the military power of the Mu family, if so, Gongzi Chu will be disappointed! When the Mu family drove me out, I swore that I would not let the people of the Mu family look down on me again! Unless the people of the Mu family came to beg me, I would never return to the Mu family." You probably have heard of my father's temper, and it is impossible for him to bow his head, so anyone who wants to gain his favor through me can break this thought!"
Chu smiled lightly and added wine to her, but did not say a word.
Mu Xiaoluo couldn't guess what he was thinking, so she had to pour out the prepared words together: "Except for the identity of the Mu family's daughter, Mu Xiaoluo can be regarded as nothing! I know that there is nothing on my body that can impress Chu Gongzi, and the only thing I fight is my mind...... If Gongzi Chu doesn't dislike it, please give me a chance to be your business partner, I can let you earn more money and be the richest man in the Wu family!"
This was the second time Mu Xiaoluo said this, and Chu couldn't help but laugh lightly: "Third Miss, this is your purpose, be my business partner?"
He shook his head and seemed to hear a very funny joke: "Do you know what it means to do business? Do you know what is the most profitable? Do you know who the richest man of the Wu family is? Can you imagine how much property their family has?...... Do you think you can make a fortune by drawing a few fakes? Hahaha, Miss Three, are you too naïve or am I mistakenly thinking highly of you?"
Mu Xiaoluo was not annoyed, she looked at him calmly and stopped laughing before saying slowly: "Young Master Chu, I thought that your observations these days have made you understand me a little, it seems that it is not that you think highly of me, but that I think highly of you by mistake!"
