170. Chapter 169
The delicate flower bones seem to have bloomed overnight, and Acacia stands by the small flower bed outside the window with a kettle, carefully caring for these flowers that are about to bloom in summer. Suddenly, her waist tightened, and a pair of hands picked her up from behind her back.
"Let go! I'm watering the flowers here! Acacia patted Mo Li's arm and smiled.
Mo Li put her down and took the opportunity to kiss her on the cheek.
"It's summer!"
"Isn't it? The days go by so fast. Acacia packed up and went to the house, the sun was already a little hot in early summer.
Mo Liang followed behind Acacia, looking at the back of Acacia that had been drawn, the girl's graceful figure looked like it had faded from her childhood, becoming more and more feminine, relatively, and becoming more and more beautiful, just like what the old lady of Yongchang said, if they hadn't watched Acacia be born, maybe they would have believed that Acacia was the granddaughter of Princess Yang, because it was too similar.
"Big brother said you went out to run errands, and you came back early this time." Acacia poured a cup of tea for Mo Liang and said.
Mo Liang was slightly dissatisfied: "You don't want me to come back?" ”
Acacia actually thought about it seriously and said: "They all said that you are tired of my reputation, and if I marry into the Tianzong Sect in the future, I am afraid that my husband will not love me." ”
Mo Liang knew that she did it on purpose, but she still couldn't stop the panic and anger in her heart, and took Acacia's hand and said: "If that's the case, you just poison me, and you won't have to marry someone else, and I will kill the whole family!" ”
"You're going to scare me." Acacia pouted, pretending to be afraid.
Mo Li's anger was vented all of a sudden, and he looked at his little daughter-in-law helplessly, and sighed: "You always bully me like this, but it's funny?" ”
Acacia smiled and nodded vigorously: "Interesting! ”
Mo Liang gritted his teeth, got up and picked up Acacia from the chair, and then threw it up, and the Acacia screamed in surprise, Mo Liang ignored her, and just threw it three times in a row before catching it and asked, "Is it still interesting?" ”
Acacia hugged his neck, as if he was very scared and aggrieved: "You are a bad person!" ”
Mo Li felt her soft fist, as well as the dissatisfied accusation on his shoulder, his heart melted, where would he continue to bully, but he didn't see Acacia burying his head in his arms, showing a wicked smile, the fright just now was actually pretended.
"No more trouble!" Acacia cleaned up his expression and raised his head and said, "The eldest brother sent someone to send a post, and at the end of the month, I will marry the eldest girl of Zhenbeihou." ”
"So fast?" Mo Li remembered that he seemed to have only decided to marry last year.
"Isn't it so fast, it is said that the Marquis of Zhenbei is afraid of long nights and dreams, for fear that one day the emperor will go crazy and give away his daughter." Acacia sarcastically said.
"It's okay, as long as Huo Ran doesn't object." Mo Li held Acacia in his arms, and the two sat on the chair together.
Acacia turned his head, touched Mo Li's face and said, "Honestly, what have you been busy with lately?" ”
Mo Liang was about to open his mouth, and Acacia said again: "If you fool me, don't come to me in the future!" ”
Mo Liang smiled bitterly and said honestly: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just going to meet the young master of the Heavenly Sect for a while." ”
"Did you kill someone?" Acacia asked, wide-eyed.
Mo Liang took her hand and put it on his face and said, "In your heart, I just like to kill people so much?" ”
Acacia pouted.
"Okay, okay! Sometimes I do use extraordinary measures in extraordinary times, but this time, I want to negotiate terms with him. Mo Liang said with a smile: "They asked the emperor for marriage, but it was just a last resort, those pampered old men in the court looked down on these martial arts people at all, but they didn't know that people didn't necessarily look down on these 'dog officials', if the Tianzong Sect was not forced to retreat by the Prime Minister's Jianfeng Hall, how could they negotiate terms with the emperor and be willing to hand over the iron ore." ”
"That's right."
"The young master of the Heavenly Sect is an interesting person, even if he has insomnia and leg disease, he is still an open-minded and funny person, and it is precisely because he has a long-term view that he reacted as soon as possible regardless of the pain after the incident, otherwise the iron ore should still fall into the hands of the prime minister at this time." Mo Liang sighed: "It's rare to see such a person now, but the will to be disabled is very firm, and I can't find a trace of resentment." ”
"Is the marriage canceled?" Acacia cares more about this.
"Marriages cannot be cancelled." Mo Liang said unexpectedly: "If it is canceled, the emperor is suspicious and afraid that he will be a demon again, in case he is suspicious of the Tianzong Sect, it is not a good thing for them, so there must be a marriage." ”
"What did I marry?" Acacia raised his eyebrows.
Mo Liang said directly: "How is it possible? ”
Acacia chuckled.
Mo Liang bit Acacia's cheek as if punishing a little and said: "Anyway, I want to be a parent, as long as the bride is not you, if the emperor really wants that piece of iron ore, he will definitely not make an order immediately, I have already said to Li Jianshen, he will say a few words in the palace, and then the emperor will naturally ask Tianzongmen first, as long as Tianzongmen is too noble with the posture of the county lord, I am afraid that the future will not serve you well, and it will be the daughter of a small family in the past, and we will find a good person." ”
"The young master is willing?" Acacia asked again.
"He's ......" Mo Liang shook his head with a smile and said: "He really doesn't want to marry the county lord, as for whether it is suitable or not, as long as he is virtuous." In fact, if he is not good at talking, or is cunning and greedy, I don't mind giving Shu Wanxuan to him, it's a pity! This man is a gentleman, and he still doesn't harm others. ”
Acacia slapped him, leaning back and forth with a smile, Mo Liang was afraid that she would fall, so he held her firmly in his arms.
The two of them were talking about the Tianzong Sect, and before they could have lunch, someone from Chengpingbo's Mansion suddenly came.
When Acacia saw someone coming, he said strangely: "Why did Brother Boliang come?" ”
Meng Boliang looked very haggard, and said with a tired face: "I came to ask the county lord for help." ”
Mo Liang stood behind Acacia, and he had a good relationship with Meng Boliang on weekdays, so he said, "But what happened to the house?" ”
"Little sister in the family...... Ay! The county lord will know when he goes, and a few days ago, Ning Huai sent a return gift. Meng Boliang said with some regret, if he hadn't been lazy and put things on the bookcase, Qizhen would not have seen it.
Acacia glanced at Mo Li, and was also very melancholy, the couple that everyone was optimistic about was now, but now one of them has become married.
"How is she now?" Acacia cared.
Meng Boliang's expression was extremely strange, and he held back for a long time before he said, "It's normal." ”
"Then what are you going to do with lovesickness?" Mo Liang said angrily.
"But it's not normal!" Meng Boliang knew that it was strange for him to say this, but he still said anxiously: "She didn't react when she saw it, she didn't make a big fuss, or she didn't think about tea and dinner, she looked no different from usual, but early this morning, she suddenly told her grandfather that she was going to marry the young master of the Tianzong Sect!" ”
"What?"
Meng Boliang scratched his scalp, his face was hot and said: "I know that there are some bastards who came to the county lord for this matter, and maybe it will add a blockage to the county lord's heart, but I really can't do it, my family persuaded and persuaded and scolded, and in the end she didn't say anything." Princess...... It should be her only friend. ”
If Acacia has to marry the young master, I'm afraid this matter is really a bit embarrassing, but Mo Li solved this problem before, she knew it in her heart, and of course she wouldn't really have any resentment with a young man who cherished his sister, and besides, Meng Qizhen was also her cousin, except for being confused and unclear, she was not a bad person. Acacia also felt that Meng Qizhen was afraid that Meng Qizhen was stimulated by Fu Ninghuai's wife, so he came up with the idea of marrying the young master.
Since there is no harm to herself, Acacia will not shirk it, Mo Liang saw her go out, according to the old example of the previous times when she went out alone, and strongly persuaded Acacia to go together.
Of course, Meng Boliang didn't mind his friends coming to the door, so the three of them quickly went to Chengpingbo's mansion.
As soon as Acacia came to the door, she saw several elders frowning, but fortunately, she would not be angry with her. She hurriedly followed the girl to Meng Qizhen's room, but found that the girl was sitting behind the desk and honestly learning Danqing.
"I knew my brother would call you." Putting the brush on the pen holder, Meng Qizhen got up with his hands and said with a faint smile.
I can't say what I feel, Acacia Goodbye Meng Qizhen knocked over her original thoughts with just one glance, maybe she would really be sad about Fu Ninghuai's marriage, but she would definitely not make an unwise choice for the sake of impulsiveness at this time.
"I'm just a lobbyist, but I don't think you need me to enlighten you." Acacia followed Meng Qizhen to sit at the round table on the side.
Meng Qizhen let people serve tea, and said a little embarrassedly: "My family is too nervous about me, either because I feel that I am impulsive for Fu Ningzhun's matter, or because I want to marry you for you." No one thinks that I really want to marry the Heavenly Sect. ”
"Why?" Lovesick asked, she really didn't understand that such a girl who was attached to the family wanted to marry so far away, and even broke away from the family and went to Wulin.
"Kyoto is a mess." Meng Qizhen thought for a while and said: "Grandfather, father and several uncles are worried about these, they all feel that a careless family is about to collapse, my mother is worried about my marriage until her hair is gray, the eldest brother is a boy, if there is a case in the family, they don't want to harm other people's daughters, so I ...... It is possible to marry out and be free from harm. ”
Although the fourth uncle's family is sometimes cunning, they are really not bad people, on the contrary, they still maintain the kindness of ordinary people sometimes, just like when the He family begged for help.
Acacia also hopes that Meng Qizhen will leave here before the chaos in Kyoto.
"But my marriage is nothing more than jumping into one pit and another." Meng Qizhen let out a long sigh, looked at Acacia and said, "The ones they found for me are all families from far away, or Jiangmen, and the worst ones are also half-political and half-businessmen." I'm tired of it. ”
"That day, the sect ......" Acacia hadn't asked yet, in fact, she had already understood Meng Qizhen.
Sure enough, Meng Qizhen said: "I like to practice martial arts, I like to ride horses, and I also like to play around freely, but because I am a daughter of a family, I want to be dignified and virtuous, I want to be a woman like all my mothers, and serve my in-laws and husbands after getting married, and help him raise a yard of concubines." ”
Acacia suddenly remembered what she thought when she was just reborn, she was also tired of this qiē, but what she chose was to find a family with good rules and be a rich and powerful housewife, as for the concubine or something, she didn't care if she didn't have love. But Meng Qizhen seemed to be choosing another path that she had never thought of.
