After stopping in public, Chai Rong walked in front of everyone, suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Ouyang Kang, and said in an astonishing voice, "If you say that you are not qualified, then he is the most unqualified to marry Mu's daughter." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Guan Yaozu jumped out unconvinced, "My brother has a good character, good learning, and a first-class appearance!" Don't you go around talking about reasons if you lose, the Mu family's family affairs, it's not your turn to be an outsider to talk more! ”

Chai Rong glanced at him, raised his eyebrows and sneered, "I'm not qualified to take care of the Mu family's family affairs, but I didn't say this, but the Mu family's elders said it!" ”

Guan Yaozu's heart sank, could it be the Queen Mother?

Obviously, Ouyang Kang also thought of this possibility. and Mrs. Su Cheng looked at each other, if the Queen Mother insisted on going her own way and had to forcibly interfere with his marriage with Nianfu, what would she do?

But Mu Shaoqin said with a straight face, "Since the marriage of children is decided by their parents, I believe that no matter which elder it is, they will not oppose my decision." ”

Chai Rong took a half step forward, "Lord Wang, don't you even listen to Lord Lingtang's words?" ”

Your mother? Nian Fu choked, isn't that his grandmother? How could an old man who had already become an old man jump out to interfere in her family affairs?

Mu Shaoqin's expression changed, as if he suddenly remembered something.

I only listened to Chai Rong said, "In the eighth year of Yanguang, the third lady of Mu Mansion and Xu, the beauty is unparalleled, and she also has piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of which are refined, and they have poured countless princes and grandsons in the capital, and the posts of asking for relatives are said to be stacked as high as the courtyard wall, and Mrs. Mu once said publicly at that time, 'How can my Mu daughter be married for nothing?' Now, does the prince want to go against the will of his ancestors? ”

Mu Shaoqin choked. It was hard to refute for a while.

I don't know if I think about it, but some of the old people present have already remembered the old things.

Miss Mu San that Chai Rong said is indeed very famous. She was later favored by Emperor Zhou Cheng and forcibly accepted into the palace as a concubine, causing chaos.

She was originally the daughter of Mu Shaoqin's brother, and she was still his niece in terms of seniority, but in terms of age, she was several years older than him. Back then, Miss Mu San was indeed a smash hit beauty in the capital, and Mu Shaoqin vaguely remembered it. When this niece was just growing up. The matchmakers who came to the house to ask for relatives did not stop all day long.

But the Mu family had made an oral marriage contract with the Dou family for her as early as when Miss Mu San was young, but because the two families were separated from each other later, and the Dou family never left a token, it was not good to say it clearly.

One day. At a certain lady's birthday party. Someone else mentioned this matter in a roundabout way. proposed to an unsuccessful gentleman in the family, Mrs. Mu was annoyed, and threw out these words on a whim. It's just trying to gag those people's mouths.

But then, I didn't expect that someone would lead this Miss Mu San past Emperor Zhou Cheng's eyes because of jealousy and hatred, which led to the disaster of the country later.

And with the Mu family almost all gone, these past events have long been annihilated in the wind, and no one mentions them. But how did Chai Rong find out? He should have not been born when these events happened, and who told him about them?

Chai Rong swept over Ouyang Kang and smiled a little coldly, "Just for this sentence, before coming to the Ping Palace, I deliberately spent eight thousand taels of silver to donate the position of General Wupin Mingwei." If the prince thinks that my answer is not sincere enough, this is enough, right? ”

Of course, these eight thousand taels are just expenses on the surface, and in private, in the inconspicuous spice box given to Empress Dowager Mu, there is also a silver ticket of 30,000 taels, which is exchanged for a piece of news. and, the Queen Mother's henchmen who remained in her brother's mansion.

That's why Chai Rong guessed the exam questions of Pingwangfu.

Although I can't find out Mu Shaoqin's true intentions, the housekeeper wants to take people to prepare for the exam, so there are always some clues to be found. Therefore, except for the last question, Chai Rong coped with the first two questions with ease.

It's just that he didn't expect that Mu Shaoqin's intentions were so deep.

On the surface, Ouyang Kang is making things difficult everywhere, but in fact? I'm afraid Ouyang Kang is his only assessment object. Everyone else is just his foil.

Fortunately, Chai Rong had already taken precautions, and now, he wanted to see how Mu Shaoqin would justify himself and conclude this marriage. And as long as Ouyang Kang can be driven out, then next, his chances of winning will be much greater.

With the pride of the Gongsun family, after Mu Shaoqin clearly refused, I believe that he will never go back to end this family business. So who else can there be besides him?

Although Nianfu didn't know exactly what was going on, she would never let an old lady who had become an old woman interfere with her marriage. Even if it's her own grandmother, it's not good!

"Chai Gongzi, could it be that you know how to do psychics?"

Chai Rong raised his eyebrows slightly, and didn't answer her words, but said, "County Lord, this is what your grandmother meant, I believe many people still have memories." Do you bear to disobey and bear the name of unfilial piety? ”

Nianfu laughed ridiculously, "Who dares to recite the name of unfilial piety?" Thinking of it, even a businessman like Chai Gongzi would not dare to ruin his reputation easily. But so much time has passed, who knows if their minds have changed? It's like I've known Chai Gongzi for so long, and you never said that you wanted to marry me, until I became the county lord, and you came to propose. Chai Gongzi, do you dare to point to the sky and say a word, your mind has not changed? ”

"That's right!" Hui Niang immediately supported her daughter and said, "How many years ago did what you said, Chai Gongzi, the world has changed dynasties, if my mother-in-law was alive, maybe my mind would have changed a long time ago." You don't know how to be psychic, so how can you say that my mother-in-law's words in the past represent what she means now? ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded, time has passed, how can you use a person's words before her death to ask her children and grandchildren after death? It's not a family motto engraved on the wall, how can there be a reason that must be followed?

Chai Rong's eyes were a little cold, "Although I can't be psychic, at least I know that I respect my elders." But in this matter, it is also a family matter of the Mu family. If the county lord insists on going his own way and must go against the will of his ancestors, then I have nothing to say, but just a few words of emotion. ”

That's a cruel statement!

Sometimes, trumped-up charges are the blades of murder without seeing blood.

Nian Fu was speechless, Mu Shaoqin had a calm face as if he was about to say something, and suddenly Ouyang Kang stood up with a calm face. "Chai Gongzi, I think you misunderstood. Not to mention that the county lord will not violate the will of the ancestors, even I, the person who asks for relatives, will not dare to disobey it. ”

What does this mean?

Guan Yaozu was taken aback, "Don't be fooled!" fell for someone else's agitation. ”

Mu Shaoqin glanced at him, and suddenly knelt down and bowed to Mu Shaoqin, "Shibo, before Xiao Ke came to ask for marriage today, I had already made up my mind, even if I won your favor, before I had no fame for a day." He will never marry the lord of the county. ”

As soon as this statement came out. The crowd was amazed.

Nian Fu's eyes widened in astonishment, what does Ouyang Kang mean by this? She had never disliked him for having no fame, so how could he dislike himself?

Su Cheng stepped forward quickly and bowed. "Lord and Princess. I'm a student who can't speak. Let me tell you. Hearing that the imperial court was about to open a department again, he wanted to take the exam first, and then ask for a marriage when he had a more suitable identity. This also means that you don't want the county lord to be wronged, so please be considerate. ”

It's scared to death!

Guan Yaozu breathed a sigh of relief, and Mu Shaoqin's slightly frowning brows finally relaxed, and smiled faintly, "Actually, this king also means this." ”

He glanced at his daughter again, then looked at Ouyang Kang who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "In today's three competitions, I won you, and I can also let you get engaged to my daughter, but it doesn't mean that I will definitely marry her to you." I still need more time from you to prove that you are worthy of the trust I have entrusted my daughter with for the rest of my life, are you willing? ”

"I do!" Finally got the approval of his father-in-law, Ouyang Kang was not as excited as he imagined, but felt a heavy burden on his shoulders, as if some heavy burden was pressing on his body, making him instantly become serious and rational. It seems to have grown up two years in vain, adding a calm temperament.

Chai Rong had nothing to say anymore, but the look in his eyes showed that he was still unwilling in his heart.

However, Mu Shaoqin didn't give him a chance to speak again, as a previous promise, he generously asked the housekeeper to open the treasure house, and took all the losers in to choose any treasure to leave.

The good brother finally set a lifelong event, Guan Yaozu was not polite, in order to liven up the atmosphere, he also stepped forward with a smile and joked with Mu Shaoqin, "Shibo, then we can take it, don't feel distressed when you turn around." ”

Guan Tianxiao kicked his son's buttocks, "If you want to take it, you can take it, so much less nonsense!" When they are happy, won't you give it back? ”

Guan Yaozu quickly avoided his father's big feet, and beckoned a group of fox friends to come in and pick and choose. However, they are very measured, and they will not take anything that is extremely valuable, but only bring out some novel and delicate gadgets.

Only Chai Rong picked a pair of unusually valuable night pearls.

He has spent too much silver for the sake of courtship, and if he doesn't take anything expensive, he feels sorry for himself.

Mu Shaoqin didn't care at all, and only asked Gongsun Hong, "Why don't you go in and get it?" Do you think my things are bad? ”

Gongsun Hong glanced at Nianfu and shook his head, "The general of the defeated army, how can he be brave?" Even if you take it back, you will feel ashamed. ”

Mu Shaoqin smiled gently, "You, say something you don't like to hear, your temper is too impulsive." If it weren't, I'd really like to choose you. Anyway, you don't pay attention to these mundane things. Butler, go to my study and fetch that bow from the wall. ”

When the housekeeper walked over with the bow in his hand, Gongsun Hong was already like seeing a peerless beauty, and he couldn't help but step forward, and even people like Gongsun Shu Guan Tianxiao were also bright.

When Gongsun Hong mentioned the dark iron bow and touched the quaint pattern on the bow, he couldn't help but praise, "Good bow!" Just how is there no strings? ”

Mu Shaoqin's smile was a little sentimental, "This is the bow left by the ancestors of our Mu family, hundreds of years of time, the string has long been broken, you can take it yourself." It is said that if this bow can be matched with the right string, it can have the power of a ten-stone strong bow, so you cherish it. ”

Gongsun Hong changed color when he heard this, "That's too precious, I can't accept it!" ”

People who practice martial arts, of course, know that the stronger the bow is, the more difficult it is to build, and the strong bow that can reach nine stones is already considered to be the best, and what he is using at the moment is only a seven-stone bow, which is already a very high-level existence, which makes countless people envious, but the black iron bow of the Mu family, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, can actually reach the strength of ten stones, which is simply like a Chengying cadre, and can be called a famous weapon in the bow.

It is easy to get money, but it is hard to find famous weapons.

If this bow were to be sold, it would be difficult to say what kind of high price it would have sold. But Gongsun Hongzhi Dao is definitely more precious than the pair of night pearls that Chai Rong took away.

But Mu Shaoqin sighed, "Such a good bow and arrow, in our house, can only wait for the string to break and ashes, it is better to give it to you, and it can be regarded as finding a good place for it." ”

Gongsun Hong choked up, remembering that when the Mu family first started, not only did they have a daughter to offer beauty schemes, but there were also people who followed the founding emperor of the previous dynasty to pacify the country.

It's a pity that the curse on his family's back makes the descendants of the Mu family only be elegant nobles for generations, but who still remembers that the Mu family also had a hero who could pull a ten-stone bow?

Even if there were descendants of the Mu family who had great ambitions and talents, I am afraid that they could only be buried in the long river of history in obscurity. And the world can only see the glory and prominence of the Mu family, and who can see the blood and tears that his family has paid?

Gongsun Hong's heart was a little heavy for a while, and he suddenly respected this thin King Ping, and even the entire Mu family.

No glory can be easily obtained, and the Mu family can have today, and it is also the blood and tears of countless descendants who have paid blood and tears to stick to this lintel.

Glancing at Mu Shaoqin again, he accepted the Xuantie bow with respect. I couldn't help but have a subtle emotion for the Mu family in my heart, but I felt that this bow seemed to be using an invisible silk thread, so that he also had a subtle connection with the Mu family.

And this is exactly Mu Shaoqin's purpose.

(Well, Fukang's family affairs have finally been decided, and he has a name.) Congratulations~~~ You can lose pink...... (To be continued......)
