(11) Wu'er proposed marriage

In June, Mu Chongwen and Yanran's wedding was held smoothly, Mu Zhongqing and Du Shi were finally promoted to father-in-law and mother-in-law, seeing that they were expected to hold their grandchildren, the two of them were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths together, and allocated several courtyards on the east road of Fuli to Wen'er and his wife, one for their husband and wife to live in now, and the rest was reserved for their unborn grandchildren.

His parents gave such an order, and Wu'er went happily, he was an easy-going person who didn't care much about anything. However, Li Sheng, who has been pestering him, is an outlier.

The guy couldn't afford to live, so he simply broke the jar and broke it, and ran to Yingtianfu with two invalid house deeds and title deeds to sue Chongwu's fur shop, saying that the fur shop was his property and was overpowered.

Chongwu was afraid that his parents would know about his business, so he had been the shopkeeper behind the scenes, and Ying Tianfu Yin didn't know the reason, so he really sent someone to detain the shopkeeper of the fur shop to confront him.

It was inconvenient for Chongwu to show up, but it didn't mean that he didn't speak, so a letterhead with his seal was passed into the court, and after Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin saw it, the case was about to be closed.

Li Sheng blackmailed money with the invalid deed of ownership, falsely accused others, teased the court officials, and punished several crimes, and after a snowflake-like meal, Li Sheng was beaten to death and couldn't even scream, and was dragged out like a dog by two officials and thrown into the street......

In this regard, Chongwu was very satisfied, but he was a kind man, and he did not beat the water dog, although Li Sheng did not make much noise about him during this time, but since he had been punished, Chongwen did not retaliate against him, but went to a more famous restaurant to dine.

In summer, the afternoon wind is quiet, people are lazy, he sits in the box, drinks slowly, and suddenly a song around the zither comes slowly, awakening people's minds. He got up and looked at the window, and saw a girl covered with tulle sitting in the lobby stroking the piano, and the song "Linjiang Fu" actually touched out the unyielding realm of the big waves and sand competing for the current.

This song is composed by Li Shangzhi, the prime minister of the previous dynasty, Li Shangzhi's background is slightly cold, he has worshiped the scholars and his family, and he has been degraded and dethroned, and he has been a county magistrate, and his life has been up and down, which is quite legendary. This song is when he was deposed when he took a boat to the south, after landing on the south bank of the river to look at the north of the river, when he made a poem of "Linjiang Fu", the song was composed later, its artistic conception can be heard far away from the sorrow of the north of the river, can be heard that the river wind and waves wash the hearts of the hearty, can be heard after the washing of the relief and calm, can hear the indomitable struggle for the stream, the whole piece of music inspires people to go upstream, is the favorite of the literati students.

He had never heard a woman touch this song, nor did he expect that there would be a woman in the world who could touch the artistic conception of this song, and the wonder of the song reminded him of the ups and downs of Li Shangzhi's life, as if he was in the scene.

After a song, he still didn't come back to his senses in that artistic conception, and suddenly heard a noise downstairs, and when he looked closely, it turned out that it was a few gentlemen who wanted to toast the woman who stroked the qin.

The woman covered her face with a thin veil, indicating that she was a woman from a good family, and it was inconvenient for her to show her face, let alone drink with a man. So, the woman politely refused.

I don't know that those few ointment children actually shouted: "Hey, the little slut who doesn't know how to lift, the lord toasts you because he can afford you, your special mother dares to toast without eating and drinking, and doesn't give the lord face, tell you honestly, the acquaintance of the hemp slips and drinks it, and the lord rewards you heavily, if you just don't give the lord face, beware that the lord doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, pinch your mouth and pour it down!" ”

Chongwu frowned, he knew these gentlemen downstairs, they were all sons of everyone in Beijing, but they were not very successful, they would only eat, drink, prostitute and gamble every day, bullying men and women, and he had not seen a few of them do anything serious for several years.

The woman who stroked the qin saw that she was surrounded and knew that it was difficult to get out, so she blessed her body and said respectfully: "Yes, the little woman thanked a few uncles for her face." ”

After speaking, he gave birth to a slender jade hand, took the wine glass in the hand of a oily and powdery boy, turned around, gently lifted the veil, and was about to drink the glass of wine. Unexpectedly, the boy who handed over the wine pulled her arm violently and turned her around.

The woman didn't expect that the oily-haired man would suddenly make a move on her, and one of them was careless, and hit the body of the boy's brother, and the wine in his hand was not bad at all, all of it was spilled on the son's brocade robe.

"Bold! Licentious! ”

The boy brother was annoyed: "The master kindly toasted you, and your special mother turned around to drink, obviously not giving the grandfather face, and the special mother sprinkled the wine on the master, what do you say?" ”

Brother Gongzi's voice just fell. The gentlemen who were with him cheered up.

"If you want me to say, stretch out your clove tongue, help Wu Gongzi lick the wine off his body, and then accompany Wu Gongzi well, and make him happy, forget it......"

"Or, go back to the house with Wu Gongzi and help Wu Gongzi wash his clothes, otherwise, you ......can't afford to pay for Wu Gongzi's Shu brocade silk clothes."

"If you don't bend your body again, forget it to Wu Gongzi, with Wu Gongzi, eating fragrant and drinking spicy food every day is much better than you taking advantage of a few pennies in this rush, Wu Gongzi is a ...... who can hurt women the most"

Everyone, you say a word to me, unscrupulously flirting with the woman who is performing arts, and talking uncleanly.

The woman who was performing lowered her eyes, held back her anger, and said: "The reason why the little woman spilled wine on the child's body was because the child pulled the little girl, not because the little woman did it intentionally, so this matter has nothing to do with the little girl, and you don't have to blame the little girl." ”

"Nothing to do with you? Do you say it again? ”

Wu Gongzi screamed in dissatisfaction, raised his hand and tore off the veil of the showwoman.

Suddenly, a beautiful and indifferent little face came into everyone's eyes, the woman's lips were red and her teeth were white, her eyebrows were thin, her eyes were thin, and her little face was fair and delicate.

A few gentlemen were accustomed to seeing the Qinglou woman with heavy makeup and the little concubine who threw them into their arms, and when they saw this indifferent and beautiful little jasper, they immediately became interested, surrounded her tightly, and shouted: "What do you mean that it has nothing to do with you?" If you don't turn around, how can Wu Gongzi pull you? ”

"Yes, it was you who despised Wu Gongzi first, so it should be you who apologized to Wu Gongzi......"

"Yes, apologize, apologize immediately......"

The crowd brazenly surrounded the woman and forced her to apologize to Wu Gongzi.

The woman was forced to retreat step by step, and had retreated to the corner, she leaned against the wall, looking around helplessly, her eyes were shining, although she was very afraid, she bit her lip tightly to prevent herself from crying.

Chongwu couldn't stand it anymore, supported the railing on the second floor with both hands, and said to the lobby below: "I will pay for Wu Gongzi's clothes!" ”

Hearing this, the crowd looked up and saw Chongwu upstairs staring at them coldly, his eyes were cold, and he was not angry.

Some of the few gentlemen recognized Chongwu and knew Chongwu's identity, so he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and whispered Chongwu's identity to several other people.

The other few people who heard that the man upstairs was actually the younger brother of the queen's mother, the emperor's brother-in-law, suddenly seemed to be beaten by frost, they all wilted, and one by one accompanied by a smile, nodded and said: "How dare you, it's just a robe, how can you use Mu Gongzi's money?" ”

Chongwen was also not polite, and said: "Since there is no need to pay, can this girl also go?" ”

"Yes, yes, girl, please, please ......"

A few people pecked the chicken on their heads, and cautiously peeked upstairs, where did they still have the mind to flirt with a woman from a good family, I just wished that they had never seen a woman playing the piano.

The woman who played the piano picked up the piano, bent her knees to Chongwen upstairs, and turned to leave.

"Waitβ€”"

Chongwen shook the folding fan in his hand lightly, and before the woman was about to go out, he called out again.

When a few gentlemen heard Chongwen's voice, as if they had heard a holy decree, they rushed over with a hula, surrounded the woman, and said, "Girl, you can't go, Mu Gongzi called you." ”

As he spoke, he also looked at Chongwu flatteringly and invited Chongwu to pet.

Chongwu said unhurriedly: "A few people have heard the music played by the girl, and they should be rewarded." ”

After speaking, he ordered the little servant next to him to take ten taels of silver down and reward it to the woman who played the piano.

When everyone heard Mu Gongzi say this, how dare they say a word, and they were all busy taking the silver out.

It's just that Mu Gongzi rewarded ten taels, they didn't dare to compare with Mu Gongzi, there were eight taels, there were five taels, and there were no silver pieces of silver with the right weight in the purse, and the girl was rewarded with jade pendants and jade wrenches.

In ancient times, silver was very valuable, and the living expenses of Caiwei's family were less than half a tael of silver a month, so the girl's forty or fifty taels of silver should be enough for her to entangle.

Chongwen saw that the girl's purse was full, nodded with satisfaction, turned around and went back to his private room to continue eating.

The gentlemen wanted to go up to toast, but when they arrived outside the private room, they were stopped by Chongwen's little guy, who said that his son didn't like to be disturbed, so he unceremoniously invited the gentlemen out.

A few gentlemen touched their noses, but they were helpless, they waited downstairs for an hour or two, but they didn't see Mu Gongzi come down, and when they saw Mu Gongzi insisting on not seeing them, they didn't dare to force it, so they had to leave in a gloomy ......

In fact, Chongwen didn't deliberately avoid it, his private room is the highest level in the restaurant, there are sleeping couches and clean rooms, etc., after lunch, because he drank a few glasses, it was very hot outside, he didn't want to go out, so he asked the little guy to send two basins of ice in, and he took a nap on the couch.

slept until sunset in the evening, then got up lazily and went out of the restaurant.

When I got outside, it was already full of sunshine, the sun had set, and many people who were working outside also called it a day and went home, Chongwen's little servant and led the horse over, and said attentively: "Son, let's go back, come out for an afternoon, and if you don't go back, Mrs. should look for you everywhere." ”

Thinking of his loving mother at home, the corners of Mu Chongwen's mouth picked up and said, "It's okay, go back!" So saying, he grabbed the bridle of the horse, turned over on the horse, and walked in the direction of the house.

When passing by a pharmacy on Surabaya Street, I suddenly saw the woman who was playing the qin in the restaurant at noon, walking out of the pharmacy with a few packets of medicine, and happened to meet Mu Chongwu.

Seeing Mu Chongwu, the woman who stroked the qin stood still, bowed down with deep blessings, and said: "The talented son rescued the little girl from being bullied, and the little woman was grateful, so thank you again." ”

Chongwu was on the horse, condescendingly looking at the woman who said ten thousand blessings, and said: "Some small things are not enough to worry about, but the people's hearts are sinister, and the girl is a young woman, so it is better to go to the tavern and tea shop less." ”

The woman's expression stiffened slightly, and said: "Thank you Childe for reminding me, thanks to Childe for helping the little girl, the little girl has a lot of silver by her side now, and for a while, she probably doesn't have to go to those places to show up." ”

She didn't say that she wouldn't go from now on, but said that she didn't have to go for a while, it seemed that there was something unspeakable, Mu Chongwu was a kind-hearted person, seeing the woman's words flickering, her face was embarrassed, and she said: "If you have any difficulties, you can go to the nearby Mu Ji Fur Store to find the shopkeeper Sun to help you, but you can't go to the restaurant and tea shop anymore to get into danger, where the dragons and snakes are mixed, in case you meet the prodigal son again, you may not be lucky to meet someone to relieve you every time......"

When the woman heard this, she raised her head and said gratefully: "Yes, the little woman knows!" ”

After separating from this girl, Chongwu quickly forgot about it, because the two princes were about to marry, and he, as an uncle, also helped the two nephews get busy......

Chongwen married Yanran, and the two nephews are also about to marry, and he is now left with a single person in the family, Du has been worried about his son over the years, and he can't be idle, and soon his eyes are on Chongwu's body, Chongwu is twenty-two years old this year, and he is still a big boy, but he is already an older young man in ancient times.

In the past, he was not sure of his marriage, and he could always use his brother's unmarried marriage as an excuse to resist, but now that his brother has married, he has undoubtedly become the object of his mother's greatest attention. That night, not long after he returned home, he saw Mama Liu, who was beside his mother, coming to invite him.

"Second son, Madame sent a slave and maid to ask you to come over and talk."

The corners of Chongwu's mouth twitched twice, and said, "Sister-in-law Liu, you tell me the truth, is it where did my mother find out where is the right lady for me?" ”

Mama Liu is the former sister-in-law of Liu, because she has been serving the Du family since she was in Qingyun Town, so she has a very high status in the Mu family, and even Chongwen Chongwu has to call you when he sees her.

Mama Liu smiled: "Tell you that your daughter-in-law is not good?" There is a confidant who loves you, how good, you see that Wen Gongzi is now, and the young lady is like mixing with honey, if you also find such a person, will the lord and the lady be relieved soon? Wait until next year, and have a big fat boy......"

Mama Liu chattered endlessly, describing the bright future, but Wu'er had a headache when she heard it, these words, my mother didn't know how many times she had told him, but his thoughts were the same as his brother's, and he always hoped to find a woman he liked, and he was in love with him, that woman didn't need to be beautiful, as long as she could be like-minded with him, but the official ladies mentioned in her mother's mouth, which one didn't dream of being able to use her husband's position to get the title of the court in the future, and be a beautiful lady, Who would want their husband to be a wealthy businessman's wife with a low status?

……

went to the Zizhuyuan where the Du family lived, the eldest brother and sister-in-law happened to be there, and the eldest brother after marriage loved to smile more than before, with a smile on his face, and he talked more than before, but his eyes were always glued to his sister-in-law's body, as if they were sticked, and they looked sweet and tired.

After greeting his mother, Chongwu sat down on the chair he usually sat on, and Du Shi said happily: "Wu'er, my mother saw the second lady of Zhang Shangshu's family at Zhang Shangshu's mother's birthday banquet today, she is really a rare good girl, born with the posture of a sinking fish and a wild goose, the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and a female red needle chisel..." ”

"Mother!"

Chongwu interrupted her and said with a smile: "Right now, the prince and King Fu are about to marry a concubine, and the family is busy. ”

Chongwen understood his younger brother's thoughts, and said: "What Wu'er said is also true, mother, the daughter of Zhang Shangshu's family will hold off for a while, and then discuss it after the prince and King Fu get married!" ”

Du Shi hesitated: "It's just a matter of changing Geng posts, and it doesn't take any trouble, so why do you have to wait?" The young lady of the Zhang family is so good, if she is given to someone else's family, it will not be good. ”

Yanran said with a smile: "If you really haven't waited for these days, then Miss Zhang has no relationship with her uncle, and there is nothing to regret, the world is big, there are many good girls, and my mother doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Du Shi liked this eldest daughter-in-law very much, and when he heard her say this, he said: "That's it, then let's wait until Jin'er and Yu'er get married, but after they get married, they are not allowed to shirk it." ”
