Chapter 33 Wooing
"This, Mother ......"
Wu Yunyang didn't expect that Old Madam Wu actually saw them all, he raised his head and glanced at Wu Tianrou and Wu Zixu, and then looked at Old Madam Wu.
"It's okay, Zixu is the future head of my Wu family, and Tilt Rou is the eldest daughter of this generation, they should all know what the family is facing now."
Just looking at Wu Yunyang's expression, Old Madam Wu understood what he meant, she nodded firmly, signaling that Wu Yunyang was okay.
"I see."
Wu Yunyang watched everyone stroke their beards, and finally nodded.
"Mother, at the banquet, the abbot Zhou Zichuan came to me and said that he wanted me to join the forces of the second prince."
"Oh? So how did you respond? ”
Hearing that Zhou Zichuan wanted to pull Wu Yunyang to stand in line, Mrs. Wu immediately straightened up.
This Zhou Zichuan is the father of Lan Guifei, that is, the grandfather of the second prince Situ Jingshuo, and he is the most staunch person who supports the second prince Situ Jingshuo as the crown prince. In the past, in the court, the one who disagreed with Wu Yunyang's politics the most was this abbot Zhou Zichuan.
I think they see that the Prime Minister's Mansion is now in full swing, and now it is a critical moment when the princes are becoming more and more nervous to compete for the crown prince, so they want to change their strategy and win over Wu Yunyang and the Wu family.
Wu Tianrou looked at Wu Yunyang and Mrs. Wu, and she listened very seriously.
She really didn't notice this incident in her previous life, and maybe it was because she wanted to marry Situ Jingshuo at that time, so her father and grandmother didn't tell her about it at that time.
"I turned him down. I said that the emperor is now in the prime of life, and it is too early to set up the crown prince, and there is no need to think about the long-term future, so I shirked the past. But I don't think they will rest on their laurels, and they will have to deal with their harassment in the future. ”
After Wu Yunyang finished speaking, he actually turned his head to look at Wu Tianrou who was sitting on the side.
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with Rou'er? ”
Puzzled by Wu Yunyang's actions, Mrs. Wu couldn't help asking.
"I listened to the meaning of Zhou Zichuan's words, it seems that he wants to promote the marriage of Tilt Rou and the second prince, and make Tilt Rou the princess, so as to forcibly tie my Wu family to their chariot."
Frowning and hesitating, Wu Yunyang still directly expressed his worries.
"Tendo, have you ever seen the second prince before today?"
"Father, the child has never seen the two princes before today, and today is the first time I have seen them."
Understanding what Wu Yunyang meant, Wu Tianrou hurriedly stood up and responded.
"Father, mother, grandmother, there is one thing I don't know whether to say or not."
Raising her head and glancing at the three of them, Wu Tianrou bit her lower lip slightly, and finally decided to talk to her parents and elders.
"During today's banquet, I drank some wine and felt a little uncomfortable, so I went out halfway and blew the wind in the garden, but I met the second prince who followed me. I didn't expect the second prince to speak obscenely, tease me, and say that he likes me and wants to marry me as a concubine. Fortunately, with the help of General Liu's children Liu Suifeng and Liu Ruyan, who happened to pass by, I was able to break the siege. ”
"Originally, my daughter shouldn't have said such a thing, but now that I think about it, it is very likely that they want to damage their daughter's reputation in this way, so they have to marry him."
In fact, when these words are said, Wu Tianrou also has her own intentions.
If his father in this life can make friends with General Liu and other powerful figures as early as possible, and he directly expresses his dislike for the so-called prince, then the fate of himself and his family in this life will definitely change.
made up her mind, Wu Tianrou was not afraid that saying these words would damage her reputation.
"What? Is there such a thing? As a prince, it is really insulting to the royal family to do such an act! ”
After listening to Wu Tianrou's words, Mrs. Wu, who was a close friend of the old lady, first patted the cushion and said angrily.
"Rou'er, come over and let grandmother see, you didn't suffer, did you? Why didn't you talk to your grandmother when you came back, you were really wronged today! ”
Grabbing Wu Tianrou's hand and patting it, Mrs. Wu squinted her eyes slightly.
"Yunyang, what do you think of Rou'er's words?"
"The children really didn't expect that they would use such a trick in order to force me to comply. Today is really fortunate to General Liu's children, otherwise what will happen, no one can predict. ”
Standing up and walking twice, Wu Yunyang paused.
"It seems that I must visit General Liu in person another day, it has been almost half a year since their family came back from the border pass, except for welcoming them back to Anjing to celebrate, I have not had time to visit again."
In fact, nowadays, there are not many interactions between Wenchen and military generals, so it is normal for Wu Yunyang and General Liu to have no contact in private.
In addition, Wu Yunyang has always maintained the posture of the royalist faction and never participated in factions and sides, so he didn't want to interact more with real power figures, so as not to be remembered by someone with a heart and then pull himself into the water.
"That's fine, and then it's to have a breath with them, don't spread this matter, otherwise it will have an impact on Rou'er."
Old Madam Wu nodded, which can be regarded as approving Wu Yunyang's arrangement.
"Then mother, husband, if these two princes come to harass my family again in the future, what should I do?"
Walking forward, Mrs. Wu took Wu Tianrou's shoulders with a worried face.
"These princes are fighting for power and power is their own business, why should they involve my family!"
"Madame, don't worry, this kind of thing won't happen again, and these two princes won't come to visit our Wu family, if you want to go out, I will send more people to protect Tilt Rou."
patted Mrs. Wu's hand soothingly, Wu Yunyang looked up at Mrs. Wu, and the mother and son nodded secretly.
"Tilt Rou, your mother is tired for a day, you can help her go back to rest first."
Smiled at Wu Tianrou, Old Madam Wu nodded at Mrs. Wu and asked her to go down and rest first.
"Okay, then the granddaughter and her mother will go back first, and the grandmother and father should not be too tired."
Knowing that Wu Yunyang and Mrs. Wu still had something to say, Wu Tianrou got up and saluted Mrs. Wu and Wu Yunyang, and then helped Mrs. Wu to walk towards Yunrong Courtyard.
Seeing Wu Tianrou and Mrs. Wu's figure walk out of the house, Mrs. Wu waved her hand around again, and everyone except for Mother Pei and Miss Begonia who were guarding Mrs. Wu's side, everyone else walked quietly.
"Yunyang, what do you think of this great prince Situ Sedum? ……”
