132.Chapter 132: The Marriage Contract of the Year
Xie Zhao pulled his hair with a hosta, flipped over the medical skills in his hand, and when he heard the words, his fingers paused slightly, "Living in Leping Village?" Angelica, can you inquire clearly, what is her father's name? ”
Angelica thought for a while, and replied in a proper manner: "Young master, the little one asked, it seems to be called Mu, Mu Erlang, yes, that's the name." That Miss Mu's father seems to have gone up the mountain to hunt with someone before, and then rolled down the cliff, and then there was no news, this has been several years, and he must be dead. ”
"Mu Erlang?" Xie Zhao's eyes darkened slightly, and he hooked his lips, "It turned out to be him." ”
"Does the young master know him?" Angelica stared at Xie Zhao curiously.
Although he has been serving by Xie Zhao's side, he is always a little medicine boy and occasionally fights, but he has no impression of the name Mu Erlang.
But Xie Zhao treats his subordinates quite well, Angelica can not only learn things, but he is quite knowledgeable, and he has never been harshly criticized, so he dared to ask out loud at this time.
"Well, I know. I once heard my dad mention that it seems that he and he are good friends, and there used to be some contacts, but my dad went early and ...... later. There is no intersection. Xie Zhao lowered his eyes slightly, covering the emotions under his eyes.
At this moment, I saw a dignified woman walk in, wearing a cotton dress with a dark pattern of elastic flowers, covered with a dark red jacket, and her posture was quite slender, which showed that she was also a very good beauty when she was young.
Behind him was a maid, who hung her head and held her breath, and followed her into the study, with a small bowl on the tray in her hand, standing respectfully behind the woman.
Angelica knelt down smartly and said goodbye crisply. "Madame auspicious."
"Mother, it's cold this day, how did you give birth? You haven't had a good cold lately, so you should rest in bed a lot. Xie Zhao put down his hand and medicine, hurriedly stepped forward to support the noble lady, and placed her on a chair covered with brocade futons on one side and sat down.
"It's okay, I've been lying down for days, my bones are weak, it's time to come out and walk. Look at you, you don't take good care of yourself, and you've lost weight again this time. I asked someone to make some bird's nest for you, and you should eat some first to replenish your body. Mrs. Xie tidied up Xie Zhao's clothes.
The maid next to her was very eye-catching, and immediately stepped forward, placed the tray in front of the table, and then respectfully stepped aside.
"Lao Niang bothered, my son will pay more attention in the future." Xie Zhao smiled gently, raised his hand to pick up the bird's nest, and took two sips, he seemed to think of something, and said with a smile: "By the way, mother, I remember that my father used to have a friend, who seemed to be called Uncle Mu Erlang, right?" ”
Mrs. Xie smiled slightly, "How many years ago did this happen, why are you asking this?" It's just a dilapidated farmer, your father used to be bold and informal, but then your father went, and there was no contact. That kind of mud-legged person, if it weren't for the good luck that saved your father, it would be impossible for him to associate with someone like us for the rest of his life. ”
Mrs. Xie has always looked down on farmers, and if it weren't for the fact that Master Xie and Mu Erlang had a similar temperament and often talked about wine, she wouldn't have wanted to have any contact with Mu Erlang's family at all.
Thinking that in the end, Master Xie actually helped outsiders calculate his son, she was indignant in her heart, so she immediately broke off contact with Mu Erlang's family after Master Xie went.
"I think that Uncle Mu is a hero, I was young at the time, and I don't remember much, but I vaguely remember that Uncle Mu seems to have two daughters, both of whom are well-behaved and sensible, gentle and graceful." Xie Zhao continued.
Mrs. Xie was stunned for a moment, and then a touch of disdain flashed in her eyes, "Where did the mud-legged daughters come from to be gentle and graceful, but they are all lowly peasant girls." Speaking of which, Zhao'er, you are not young anymore, my mother gave you the portraits of several girls last time, those families are solid, and they are beautiful and gentle, which one do you like? ”
Xie Zhao put down the bowl in his hand, "Mother, you listen to me first, although Uncle Mu was born in a peasant family, I used to see that Uncle Mu was extraordinary, and the two younger sisters were even more smart and clever. I still remember that my father set up a relationship between me and that sister Mu......"
"Zhao'er." Mrs. Xie stood up suddenly, and said in a low voice: "You are the only male member of our Xie family, and in the future, we will revitalize our Xie family medicine hall." The Mu family girl is just a lowly peasant girl, where is she worthy of you, I gave up the marriage contract early, and I told you back then. Now, when you come to mention this matter again, isn't it that the Mu family still shamelessly came to the door? ”
"Mother, no, you listen to me......" Xie Zhao saw that Mrs. Xie was angry, and hurriedly got up to explain.
His father died early, and he was raised by Mrs. Xie at a very young age, and he attached great importance to Mrs. Xie in his heart.
"Enough. Zhao'er, listen, the marriage contract between you and the daughter of the Mu family, I have made it clear to that Mu Erlang back then, and it is absolutely impossible. Just because her Mu family is not worthy of marrying into our family, even if she is a heavenly immortal, you don't have to think about it! Mrs. Xie said angrily, and then brushed her sleeves out.
Mrs. Xie walked quickly, and the maid behind her only had time to salute Xie Zhao before hurriedly following out. Mrs. Xie was furious in her heart, she didn't expect that after so many years, Xie Zhao would actually mention it, someone must have chewed his tongue in front of Xie Zhao, or the Mu family came to the door shamelessly.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xie was very annoyed, she clenched her palms, and thought about it again and again, it was absolutely impossible for her to let Xie Zhao marry the daughter of the Mu family.
Her eyes were full of anger, it seemed that it was necessary to investigate the Mu family and see what kind of fairy beauty came out of their family, and she was able to make Xie Zhao mention the marriage again.
Xie Zhao didn't expect Mrs. Xie to be so angry, and he was shocked at the moment.
Angelica shrunk his neck and said in a low voice: "Madam, Madame looks so angry!" ”
Xie Zhao raised his hand and pressed the corner of his forehead, and sighed: "It seems that my mother seems to be extremely resentful of the Mu family. But that Miss Mu is a gentle and polite person, I thought that I would let my mother meet her first, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating. Moreover, I actually have other things to do, but my mother may not be able to listen to my explanation at this time. ”
Angelica secretly glanced at his young master, "You fell in love with Miss Mu at first sight, but Miss Mu doesn't like you, young master." ”
"Love at first sight?" When Xie Zhao heard this, he smiled lowly, and a dark glint flashed under his eyes, "Maybe!" However, I was more interested in her healing skills...... but the latter words were as low as gnats, and only he could hear them.
"Young Master, there is something I forgot to tell you." Angelica saw that Xie Zhao actually annoyed his wife for Mu Lingluo, and only thought that he had a deep affection.
When Xie Zhao heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What's the matter? ”
Angelica hurriedly said: "Actually, the little one also inquired, that, our Anyu Cheng Gongzi also seems to like Miss Mu very much." ”
