Duanhui thought about how her brother had given her a good face when she mentioned these things to her brother a year ago. Now that he took the initiative to say that he wanted to marry a young lady, he has really made a lot of progress.

Since it was her brother who nodded and agreed, she should support it, but she was really uneasy in her heart.

It wasn't until ten days later that news came out from the palace: "The second master of the Rong family does not agree to this family business." ”

Duan Hui breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, she calmly told Mu Xuan about it, and comforted him: "It seems that you have no fate with Miss Rongjia, and it is not easy to force it." I'll just leave it at that. ”

Mu Xuan was very shocked, and asked again: "Second Master Rong really doesn't agree?" ”

"What do I coax you to do, if you don't believe it, you can ask the princess."

Mu Xuan had already planned to live a good life, but she didn't expect to wait for such a result. When the appearance of Rong Zheng appeared in his mind, he was a little unwilling.

"Sister, I want to go to Anyang!"

"What are you doing in Anyang?"

Mu Xuan said truthfully: "The second master of the Rong family is in office in Anyang. I want to go and talk to him in person. ”

Duan Hui was surprised: "You kid, it's really competitive." If the second master Rong still doesn't agree, aren't you begging yourself for being shameless, it's not good to spread out. ”

Mu Xuan said: "If I don't work hard, I may regret it for life." I don't want to have regrets when I'm old. ”

The younger brother's temper is stubborn, and if he makes a decision, no matter who he can't pull back. Duan Hui had no choice but to sigh and said, "It seems that you are not married to Miss Rongsan." ”

Mu Xuan showed a resolute gaze.

Duanhui felt a little annoyed, he couldn't stop his brother's decision, he was afraid that she would persecute herself too much, Mu Xuan plunged into the empty door again, and at that time, she couldn't cry even if she wanted to.

Mu Xuan decided on this matter, and only took the two little guys Pingkang and Baokang, and went all the way north to Anyang Mansion.

The three of them stayed overnight, and when they arrived in Anyang, it was already three days later.

finally rushed to Anyang. Mu Xuan was not in a hurry to go to the mansion to inquire about Rongjiang's residence, but found an inn in Anyang City and settled down first. After a little rest, I took the little girl to the street to buy a few gifts for the visit.

Then I had a good night's sleep, and the next day. He changed into new clothes and brought gifts before visiting.

said that Rong Jiang was on duty, but suddenly saw a tolerance come up to report: "Lord Tongzhi, there is a son who claims to be surnamed Mu who wants to see you!" ”

"The son surnamed Mu?" Rong Jiang was a little stunned for a while, and couldn't remember what he had a relationship with surnamed Mu. Then he said to the messenger, "Go and ask him what is the matter?" ”

He went and came back soon, and Rong Jiang said: "He claimed to be from Bianliang and wanted to come to see his father-in-law." ”

Rong Jiang said slightly angrily: "It's him who came, you sue him, I don't see him!" ”

Tolerance had to go back again.

Mu Xuan came from afar, and it was not surprising that Rong Jiang would not see him, he only said to the tolerance: "Please tell Lord Rong, and say that I will wait until the Lord goes down." If he doesn't see me, I won't go back. ”

This tolerance back and forth is also a headache.

Rong Jiang's temper came up, and he said in his heart that this Mu Xuan is so thick-skinned, he has clearly rejected this family business and can still come from Bianliang. He wants Mu Xuan to retreat. Therefore, no matter what he said, he didn't want to go out to see Mu Xuan.

Mu Xuan ordered Baokang to hold the gift, and he stood straight outside the door, this stop was half the morning. Seeing that the sun was getting higher and higher, he did not move at all.

Occasionally, passers-by saw such a handsome and elegant person outside the door, and they couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Mu Xuan went back when it was time for lunch, and just when Rong Jiang naturally thought that Mu Xuan had given up, he didn't know that he came again in the afternoon. This time he came alone, and it was another afternoon.

The more Mu Xuan insisted like this, the more disgusted Rong Jiang became, and he said in his heart that he would let me marry my daughter to you in this way. It's useless that you're the eldest son of a vassal king!

On the first day, Mu Xuan didn't see Rong Jiang at all. At the end of the day, I can't help but feel a little tired.

Pingkang couldn't look at it, and said in his heart that their grandfather was the eldest son of the prince, when did he suffer such a grievance, that Lord Rong took himself too seriously. So it was not worth it for Mu Xuan, so I had to persuade a few words. Bao Kang grabbed him and instructed: "Don't talk nonsense, be careful of making the uncle angry." ”

"Hmph, I don't think that Miss Rong is a fairy, and the uncle is degrading himself by doing this. Since people don't know how to lift, why should they wait stupidly. ”

"I said that you have been following the uncle for all these years and still don't know him. How many times have you seen him like this? Let him go, you will run into it rashly, and if you annoy him, I will not speak for you. ”

After all, Baokang is a few years older than Pingkang, and Pingkang has always listened to him, so he obediently shut up.

The next day, Mu Xuan got up early in the morning and used an extra bowl of rice. After eating, he still went to the government and stood.

Rong Jiang glanced at it from afar, and immediately turned around and walked away, and said in his heart, I will see how long you can grind. This incident later alarmed the prefect.

The prefect's surname is Qian, and he is a man of nearly fifty years. Rong Jiang has a lot of respect for him.

When Governor Qian heard about the situation, he came to talk to Rong Jiang: "A young man with such a good appearance, since he has insisted on standing for a day, even if you don't want to, you should call him in to meet people." ”

Rong Jiang rarely sang a duet with the prefect of Qian, and said: "Lord Prefect, this is the family matter of the lower officials, and please don't interfere with the prefect." ”

Qian Zhifu laughed after hearing this: "You are sometimes too old-fashioned, even more old-fashioned than an old man like me." ”

Rong Jiang is not afraid of other people's strange eyes, nor is he afraid of the criticism of his superiors. He has his own principles in Rong Zheng's marriage. feels that although Mu Xuan has a good background, he is not a good match for Rong Zheng. He doesn't value the other party's family very much, just be a little rich. The key is that young people are knowledgeable and courteous, and they are good young people who are motivated and promising. Putting aside the rumors he overheard, he thought that Mu Xuan, as the eldest son of the palace, was not a good young man, no different from ordinary gentlemen. Although Mu Xuan is the eldest son, he will not accept the title in the future, and the prince will not wait to see him. He doesn't have a half-official position, and he doesn't know how to do general affairs, can Rong Zheng rely on him in the future?

The next day, Mu Xuan stood all day, but still couldn't be accepted by Rong Jiang. On the third day, he still came, and Rong Jiang was even a little upset, and instructed the messenger around him: "You go to sue him, just say that no matter how long he stands, I won't see him." Let him die this heart. ”

Tolerance went to pass the word, but Mu Xuan was unmoved. If Rong Jiang still had such an attitude after seeing him, Mu Xuan would have given up. He didn't want to go back without saying a word.

It actually started to rain in the afternoon, and Rong Jiang looked at the rain that was getting heavier and heavier. Heart Dao Mu Xuan should go back now. Unexpectedly, Mu Xuan was still unmoved, and stood straight in the rain for two hours. Rong Jiang was a little flustered at this time, he heard that Mu Xuan's body was not solid, what if he fainted in front of the mansion. It's too big to make a fuss, and the impact is not good.

He looked at the rain curtain and called for someone: "You lead him to the back yard." I'll go over when I'm gone. ”

Rong Jiang later went down before he arrived. He did not bring his family with him. I was accompanied by no more than a few people who took care of daily life. The prefect of Qian took pity on his weak population, so he allocated a courtyard with two entrances behind the government office to him to use. It's very convenient to go back and forth every day.

Rong Jiang put on a hat and went home. He saw Mu Xuan standing under the eaves, with no dry place on his body, as if he had just been fished out of the water. Although it was already spring, it was still a little cool in the wind and rain. He frowned, and asked people to find a set of dry clothes for Mu Xuan. Here I went to change my clothes again.

It is the first time that Rong Jiang has seen Mu Xuan, and he is not picky about his appearance, and even feels that he is too good and unreliable.

Mu Xuan didn't say a word, and kowtowed to Rong Jiang first.

Rong Jiang sat on top and accepted his salute, and said, "I've never seen you toss people like this." Speak up! ”

Mu Xuan didn't say a word of nonsense, he fought for the hard-won opportunity. Therefore, he knelt on the ground and did not get up, his back was straight, and he said earnestly: "Please Lord Rong agree to the family affairs of the junior and Miss Rong San!" ”

Rong Jiang refused without frowning: "What I mean has been made very clear in the family letter, I don't approve of it!" ”

"Lord Rong! Where is the late student not worthy of Miss Rong San, and please give an explanation to Lord Rong in person. Otherwise, you won't be blind to life and death. ”

Rong Jiang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you a look." I don't care if you're the eldest son of a vassal king. I love Sister Zheng and don't want her to follow you. ”

"If you are not good in the late life, please ask Lord Rong for advice!" Mu Xuan is a little paranoid, he will never stop until he clarifies things!

"You're not giving up, are you? I heard that you have been frail and sickly since you were a child, how can you be with our sister Zheng if your body is not strong? You can't let her marry and be widowed early within a few years, I'm a father. A hundred don't say yes! ”

Mu Xuan was not annoyed at all, and replied sincerely: "Late birth was indeed frail and sick when he was a child, and later his father sent him to Puci Temple for foster care. In his later years, he followed Master Yuankong in Puci Temple for more than ten years, and Master Yuankong not only improved Buddhism. The martial arts are profound, and the medical skills are good. Not only cured the illness of the late birth, but also gave the later birth a lot of swordsmanship to strengthen the body. If Lord Rong can't believe what the late student said, he can ask a doctor to see the late student to see if he still has a disease. ”

Rong Jiang saw that his words were clear and his coherence was clear. I also saw that although his physique was a little thinner, he was not sick and weak, and he looked very healthy, not like he was a sick man as rumored outside. He is also a little right, if he can't believe it, he can go and ask a doctor to check Mu Xuan's pulse to see if he has any serious illness that will be life-threatening.

Let's just count him as guò for the time being. Rong Jiang's dissatisfaction is still to come. He continued: "Okay, even if you have recovered from your illness over the years and your health is fine, I still don't look down on you! ”

Mu Xuan was still very respectful and said, "Please advise." ”

"Although our Rong family is not a noble family, I am also particular. I feel sorry for Sister Zheng, her family affairs have been delayed again and again, and many things have been unsatisfactory. I just want to find her a good young man who is knowledgeable and polite, generous and gentle. It seems to me that you are far from this 'good young man'. ”

Mu Xuan said unhurriedly: "Since the late birth was three years old, the mother concubine has enlightened the late child, and I have read kindergarten and thousands of poems. Later, the mother concubine died, and in her later life, she was fortunate to worship under the seat of Master Yuankong. Listen to the master explain Buddhism, teach late students chess skills, riding archery, and swordsmanship. The late born thought that he was a gentleman and the six arts, and the late born did not leave anything behind. If Rong thinks that the late students are exaggerating, they can put out questions to test the late students. ”

The question is out, Rong Jiang didn't like Mu Xuan because he didn't like it, so he didn't think about it at all. The children of the clan still have high requirements for talent and learning. It is not surprising that Mu Xuan knows all this. It's just that these are all tricks, and what will happen if he can't rely on his glory and zheng?

"Question? I don't need to see it. Let me ask you, if Sister Zheng really follows you, what kind of life will you bring her in the future? You don't have an official position, and although you are the eldest son of a vassal king, you don't have a lord. Are you planning to live your life in the future on the basis of some of the only money in the court? I have been the most motivated young man since ancient times, what about you? It's just a clan, but you live on that little money in the royal family, do you plan to follow you like this for the rest of your life? There is no way out for your children in the future? ”

Rong Jiang's words hit the nail on the head, and Mu Xuan lowered her head a little ashamedly.

He pondered for a long time before raising his head and said: "Because the mother died early, the stepmother entered the door, and because she was weak and sick since she was born late, although she was not the eldest son, she was not crowned the eldest son. In the past, the late life planned to escape into the empty door and stay away from the red dust. But things have changed a lot, and I have to come out and face reality. Now that you have taken the first step, you must take many steps steadily. As he spoke, he kowtowed to Rong Jiang and said, "Lord Rong, since I promised to marry in my later life, I will definitely not let my wife and children follow me to starve, freeze and be wronged in the future." As soon as they get married, they will split up, and they will have to live their own lives in the future. I had already thought about it before, as long as I waited for the days to settle down. Later students will work hard to start from the small flag first. ”

"Little flag? You're going to join the army? ”

Mu Xuan replied respectfully: "Since Kaibao, the northwest has never been peaceful. The late student is willing to take the initiative to invite Ying to go to the northwest for training. ”

Rong Jiang was a little surprised, and said in his heart that he was a royal nobleman, and he was willing to go to that bitter cold place, and this determination was not something ordinary people could make. Originally, he just wanted to sharpen Mu Xuan's sharpness and let him retreat, but he didn't know that Mu Xuan had stood outside for several days. If it weren't for this rain, he would have called Mu Xuan in, but he was afraid that Mu Xuan would have to stand down. It's a guy with perseverance.

Rong Jiang couldn't help but be a little impressed by Mu Xuan, but he said: "You know, Sister Zheng has no mother when she is young, and she is the eldest daughter who has lost her mother and is feared outside, so you are not taboo at all." ”

Mu Xuan said: "I lost my mother since I was a child. ”

Rong Jiang was speechless for a while. (To be continued.) )
