Chapter 130: Condescending
"Third brotherβ"
"Big brother, don't say that again. The fastest update visit wΓ¨n:. Mu Miao's brows tightened, very displeased, "Just because you think that the position of Zhongshu Chengzhi is nine out of ten for me, you will be extremely disrespectful to Wei Tuo after being disappointed, I persuaded you several times, but instead of listening to me, you think that I am cowardly, and you have become even more violent." Hmph, I don't think about mending the relationship, and I offended this genius of the world again and again. To put it mildly, there will never be a shortage of talented people in this world, if it weren't for my surname Mu, why would I be able to be a scholar in the first year, and I have been doing it for nearly ten years? The saint has taken care of our Mu family enough, how can we take the kindness of the saint as a necessity and keep asking for it from the saint? β
When Mu Xin heard this, he was so angry that he almost fainted: "What do you say, you say it again!" β
"The old man thinks that San'er is right." An old voice came from outside the 'door', the white-haired Zheng Guogong came in with a dragon cane, Mu Xin and Mu Miao hurriedly got up, supporting the old father left and right, and the 'color' of concern was overflowing, "Aya, why are you here?" β
Zheng Guogong slammed his crutches and snorted coldly: "If the old man doesn't come, won't the three of you be lawless?" β
Mu Miao has been favored since he was a child, the eldest brother and the second brother were frightened when they saw their father's eyebrows, but he could stick out his tongue with a hippie smile, and now the old man was angry, Mu Xin subconsciously lowered his head, but Mu Miao said with a smile: "Aya, don't use your strength, beware of 'breaking' the crutches!" β
Most of the generals are like this, when they are young, they rely on their physical fitness and fight on the battlefield, they don't take their bodies seriously, and they have all kinds of 'hair' problems when they are old, and Zheng Guogong is no exception. He suffers from a foot disease, and the older he gets, the worse he walks. The sage specially ordered someone to build a dragon head crutch for him, and gave him the name "Lingshou Staff" to show his honor.
I don't know if the sage hates King Wei, or if he is too lazy to think about it, in the same year, the 'daughter' of King Wei asked for the title, and the sage directly circled Lingshou County and named her the lord of Lingshou County.
Zheng Guogong wanted to knock on his head like before, but he found that he had a hard time raising his hand, and while feeling that the years were unforgiving, he also gasped and said: "You kid, you will be a Weng in a few years, and you are still so 'Mao' and 'Mao' irritable!" β
Mu Miao didn't care about her father's criticism at all, and said with a smile: "Even if I become Ah Weng, I am also your son, what can't I let go of in front of you." β
"Okay, don't think that if I 'plug' the subject, I can forget about it." Zheng Guogong didn't want to talk nonsense with his youngest son any longer, and after the two sons helped him sit down in the first seat, he said, "San'er, I heard that King Lu looked for you a few days ago?" β
Zheng Guogong broke this matter, Mu Xin was surprised, and at the same time, he couldn't help but complain that his old father refused to let go of power, looking at Chang'an, who has been a son for nearly fifty years like himself? It seems that the Mu family has great power in hand, but in fact? As soon as there is a disturbance, naturally someone with deaf ears and eyes will report to his father, even the third brother...... Thinking of this, Mu Xin secretly sympathized with his youngest brother.
said that it was his father's favorite son, but what happened? Aren't you 'inserting' someone into his house?
Compared with the imbalance of the eldest brother, Mu Miao didn't take this matter to heart, and said nonchalantly: "Oh, you said it a few days ago! King Lu came to find his son, and wanted to ask his second son to marry Sister Han, I said that I can't do this, I need to ask you for advice, at least for half a year. β
Mu Han is Mu Miao's little 'daughter', and she is also the youngest 'daughter' of the next generation of the Mu family, she is only five years old this year, and King Lu's second son is only more than six years old. It's just that in a top family like the Mu family, there are too few options for 'daughters' to marry, and it is not uncommon to order a baby.
Originally, Mu Miao said it, and there was no problem, but he added: "I don't think there is any need for us to marry the imperial family, if this continues, everyone expects the queen to come out of the clan every day, or support the children born of the 'girl' in the family to fight for the chair, and walk the crooked 'door' evil path all day long, and there is no need to practice martial arts, and I don't need to read anymore, so what hope is there?" β
"You shut up for me-" Even in front of the youngest son he has always loved, Zheng Guogong was angry, "Marriage to the imperial family? Why don't you say that our ancestors are not happy either? β
Mu Miao obediently shut up, but a hundred disagreed in her heart.
This history is not clear to outsiders, but the Mu family can understand it very well in their hearts - when Taizu started his family, there was a 'daughter' surnamed Jiang surnamed Miaoling, who was born in a family with a lot of wealth, and her father and ancestors were all famous, and she was the only 'daughter'. When the 'troubled' world came, she once led her family to defeat the robbers, but because of her 'daughter' identity, she had no way to develop her power too strongly, so she had no choice but to rely on one of the princes, and chose Qin Yan, the Xia Taizu who seemed to be a reckless hero, but was actually born in a family.
This young 'girl' surnamed Jiang was born beautifully, has an outstanding family background, has a rich marriage, and has a group of people under him, and her in-laws are old in the old business...... There's everything. As long as Qin Yan nodded, she would marry immediately, and the two families would become one.
For others, this is undoubtedly a pie from heaven, but Qin Yan said to her very solemnly, my father-in-law and wife have the grace of reinvention for me, without them, I can't even settle down, let alone create today's foundation. People can't forget their roots, so I won't abandon them, let alone degrade wives to concubines. If you are accepted, it will not only be an insult to you, but everyone will also think that you should be a wife compared to her, and the children you teach are smarter and smarter, even if I order everyone not to say it, my wife will think more. She was originally a small family 'jade', and she was also worried about her husband and sons, and she couldn't pretend to be a big family and country, let alone an opponent of gossip. If you are willing, I will accept you as a righteous sister and find you a good family to marry, if you are not willing, I will give you three months to find a family, and then I will see you on the battlefield!
After listening to Qin Yan's words, instead of being annoyed and angry, the young 'girl' surnamed Jiang was full of praise for Qin Yan, and even said that he was a "true husband", and immediately became a brother and sister with Qin Yan, and was the first princess of Great Xia - the eldest princess of Ru 'Yin'.
The eldest princess of Ru 'Yin' is good at mathematics, strategy, brilliant writing, and meticulous heart. Xia Taizu did not doubt the use of people, so she sat in the rear, was responsible for most of the trade and military supplies, and participated in the government affairs. Xia Taizu's 'milk' brother, the first Zheng Guogong Mu An, has mediocre fighting skills, but he is very good at defense, and he is also loyal to Xia Taizu, and he is sincere, but whenever Xia Taizu personally conquers, the imperial capital will be 'handed over' to Mu An to defend, it is Xia Taizu's most trusted, the second person in Great Xia, above Xia Taizu's brother-in-law. Because of this, when the eldest princess of Ru 'Yin' married Zheng Guogong, although many people talked about "slaves and maids can also marry the 'daughters' of the family", many people praised them as a match made in heaven.
In the eyes of the Mu family, Mu An was using marriage to pay for Xia Taizu's behavior of not accepting concubines, but Mu Miao felt that they were cheap and obedient - if it weren't for appeasing the heart of the family, tell everyone that letting Mu An, who was born in slave nationality, marry the eldest princess of Ru 'Yin', who was born with the surname of Huayu, is not a humiliation to the family, but a respect for the family, how could Empress Taizong come from the Mu family? If it weren't for the fact that Empress Taizong was from the Mu family, when the saint was the prince, in order to avoid the suspicion of the abolished prince, he voluntarily married his cousin, how could the Mu family have today's glory?
Zheng Guogong knew his son too well, and when he saw that one of them bowed his head and the other frowned, he knew what they were thinking, and said angrily: "King Wei can consider it, King Lu can also do it, and King Zhao will forget it." I didn't make friends with Wei Tuo before, but now it's too late to make friends, pick some unmarried, appropriate-age, and low-born 'girl' children from our family and relatives, find a matchmaker who can speak well, and then find a few officials who are kind to Wei Tuo, or he can't refuse. β
Mu Miao listened, and became more and more depressed, Xindao Weituo is not a muddy person, in the past, the nose was not a nose, and the eyes were not eyes, as soon as he saw that he was developed, he sent the little lady who had a close relationship with their family to be a concubine, who should you be! Why did Wei Tuo listen to you and obediently laugh at this 'woman'?
Mu Miao and Wei Tuo often meet, and they are still a little clear about the temper of this colleague, and just when they wanted to refute, they saw Zheng Guogong glaring at Mu Xin, and said sharply: "Don't send the 'girl' over, do you hear!" β
"Our 'girl' child ......"
"We want to make a good relationship with him, not a feud, there are so many beautiful and innocent 'women' in the world, and we have to pick my aunt to give birth to her?" Zheng Guogong leaned heavily on his crutches and said unhappily, "It's true that Wei Tuo has his own ability, do his children and grandchildren all have his ability?" Send a concubine 'daughter' to the past, even if you give birth to the eldest son, three generations can not marry the imperial family, if like the previous dynasty, this concubine 'daughter' is a concubine, the aunt will be corrected, the original wife is dead, crazy, into the temple, what are the rules of etiquette at all? β
Mu Xin secretly said that his father was so old that he was confused, and he couldn't help it, and whispered: "The children and grandchildren of the eldest son, the three generations can't marry the imperial family...... "They are all the eldest sons, and they still care if the biological mother is a concubine!"
Zheng Guogong was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe, and wanted to hit his eldest son with a cane: "Idiot! If it is a concubine, it naturally doesn't matter if it is a concubine, but what if it is a house? β
When Mu Xin heard this, his eyes lit up.
As we all know, Wei Tuo's wife Liao is talentless and unattractive, and the full 'door' has also been copied. It's easy to grab a life-saving straw, and it's inevitable to be honestly afraid, and it's easy to do if you can give birth! gave birth to ten or eight sons, so I don't have to worry about any status, but I have been married to Wei Tuo for seven years, and there is only one 'girl' who is less than five years old, and she is still a 'medicine' jar that can't leave her mouth. Wei Tuo and Shen Huai are the same, they are both from the long house, and they are the only son in the family, and now he is fifty-five in his twenties, and he has no son who inherits cigarettes under his knees. A few years ago, due to the regulations of the imperial court, his grade was not enough, and he himself did not mean to give birth to a concubine, so everyone had to sigh, but now he can justifiably put his wife, how can it not make people's eyes hot? He is not a nobleman, there is no problem of title inheritance, although the concubine can't inherit much family business, but such a young talent who is destined to be the prime minister for decades, being his concubine has too many political resources than being the concubine of many people, not to mention that he still has such a fairy-like appearance...... I'm afraid it's time for all the matchmakers in the city to get active, right?
