Chapter 109: Commitment
In Rong Jiang's opinion, there may be various rumors about Mu Xuan outside, but it is undeniable that Mu Xuan's background, his talent and appearance, all enable him to marry the daughter of a powerful and noble family. Although he loves Rong Zheng, he also knows that his daughter's appearance is not so outstanding, and her family background is not prominent.
Mu Xuan's current situation should find a prominent wife in the future, which will be of greater help to him in the future.
Why did he fall in love with their Rong family's daughter, Rong Jiang was puzzled, he pondered for a long time before saying: "I'm not arrogant, I know very well what my own daughter is like as a father." Why did you fall in love with her? There are so many outstanding women in the world, and it is not difficult for you to find one that matches you very well. ”
Mu Xuan paused for a moment before answering Rong Jiang's words and said, "Lord Rong, there are thousands of women in the world, but there is only one Miss Rong San!" ”
Rong Jiang was suddenly annoyed after hearing this, and said sharply: "Hmph, rhetoric." Do you think that with your sharp mouth, I will promise you my daughter? ”
Mu Xuan hurriedly saluted and said, "I don't dare to think about it late." ”
The two were speechless for a while, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.
Rong Jiang sent out a nameless fire, and drank half a cup of tea before calming down. He couldn't help but look at Mu Xuan. Although the young man in front of him was dressed in a blue cloth robe, he still couldn't hide his temperament. Yes, what kind of woman does a character like Mu Xuan want, why did he fall in love with his baby daughter? How sincere is Mu Xuan, are the promises he made earlier a deliberate thought about the path he intends to take, or are they just words to coax himself for a while?
This is the first time Rong Jiang has seen Mu Xuan, he is not familiar with this young man! It is even more impossible to give his daughter to Mu Xuan so lightly with a sharp mouth of rhetoric. As the saying goes, men are afraid of getting into the wrong business, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. In his daughter's marriage, he can't be confused.
"Go back!"
"Lord Rong!" Mu Xuan looked at Rong Jiang anxiously, and said in his heart, isn't all the things he has worked hard worth mentioning? No matter what kind of determination he comes up with, he is destined to have no fate with Rong Zheng? What should be said, what should be done. He's obviously done it all, but he's still unwilling!
"No one can say beautiful words, and everyone can say empty words. If you want me to trust you, you have to take some real action. ”
Mu Xuan understood what Rong Jiang meant. I was overjoyed in my heart, and I was busy thanking Rong Jiang.
Rong Jiang saw that the point was almost dialed, so he brought tea and sent it to the guest.
The rain outside had stopped, and Rong Jiang stood under the window, looking at a plantain in the yard. The rain washed the plantain leaves very green. He watched the water droplets on the banana leaves roll down one by one, and naturally remembered Rong Zheng. Mu Xuan's appearance just now had a bit of his youthful stubbornness. If what Mu Xuan said is not empty promises, then he is a very outstanding person. He thought of his daughter's life, and remembered the trouble caused by Ma's stinky mouth before, and he couldn't sit still anymore. He ordered someone to bring pen and paper, and he was to write a letter to his family.
Mu Xuan didn't delay much in Anyang, and left the room early the next morning, and returned to Bianliang with the two little guys.
"You ran this trip in person, it should be a success, right?" Duan Hui looked at her brother with a smile.
Mu Xuan said, "No, Lord Rong, he didn't say that he promised to marry Miss Rong San to me. ”
Duan Hui was surprised: "What." Does he look down on our family? ”
"No, he doesn't look down on me."
"What I said before, you're going to humiliate yourself. It's okay now, you're dead to this heart, and I'll pick a proper family for you. I don't believe that there are no other girls in this world except the Rong family. Duan Hui was a little annoyed.
Mu Xuan said: "Sister, don't worry about me anymore in this matter." Although Lord Rong did not agree, he did not say no. He deserves to look down on me. Don't blame him, if I were him, I would say something like that. Sister, I may have to go to Beijing in a few days. ”
Duanhui raised his eyebrows and hurriedly asked, "You want to go to the capital?" Is it to go to the palace to say goodbye? ”
Mu Xuan remembered her sister's worries over the years, and he didn't tell the truth to Duan Hui. Then he said, "Yes, I should also go into the palace to see it." ”
Duan Hui breathed a sigh of relief, and was very relieved to see that his younger brother had finally stepped out of the Buddhist gate completely. Yueyue said: "It's time to go and see it." In any case, our Yu King is also very favored among many vassal kings. It's time to walk around. I won't accompany you this time, and I can't stand the toss back and forth. When the time comes, you will ask the emperor, the queen mother, and the queen for me. ”
Mu Xuan nodded and said, "I know." ”
In the more than a year since returning from Fujian, Duanhui likes it like this for the first time. She looked at Mu Xuan and said with a smile: "That's good." In the future, you will follow the right path and live your life with peace of mind. Stronger than anything else. It's really not good, you let the old people point you to a family business, and it is impossible for the princess to meddle at that time, and she can still be beautiful. ”
Mu Xuan said: "I understand. ”
Su Su said outside the door: "County Lord Niangniang, uncle, Cui Qiye is here." ”
Duanhui smiled and nodded: "Please come over." She said to Mu Xuan again: "It seems that Xiao Qi is looking for you for something." I came here once the day before yesterday, and I asked you to go back when you weren't at home. ”
Mu Xuan said in her heart, could it be that she has already brought Mama Lei back?
It didn't take long for Choi Sang-ju to stride over.
As for the front, Cui Shangzhou respectfully bowed to the lord of Duanhui County. Duan Hui sat on the chair on the east side and said, "Every time you come, you talk about etiquette like this, and you are not a bystander, get up quickly." ”
Duan Hui said and smiled at Mu Xuan and said: "Xiao Qi is really not kind, the three of us have been playing together since childhood, but he is becoming more and more estranged from us, and now we meet in private with such politeness." It can be seen that the friendship when I was a child was fake. ”
Cui Shangzhou blushed and wanted to defend himself, but Mu Xuan said for him: "How can friendship be fake, how can you still be as unscrupulous as when you were a child." ”
Cui Shangzhou said with a smile: "In the end, Junhua understands me." ”
Duan Hui said to Cui Shangzhou again: "I heard that your future daughter-in-law is the young lady of the Li cabinet, but I don't know what kind of young lady she is." One day I will post and invite her to visit our villa, do you have no opinion? ”
Cui Shangzhou said: "Thanks to the promotion of the county lord, she has not passed through the door, and the county lord does not need to ask the next words." ”
Duan Hui smiled: "You are a bit interesting. ”
When I was a child, I heard such hearty laughter, since Duanhui married to Fujian and she came back from Fujian, he almost never saw her smile.
Cui Shangzhou couldn't help but look at her secretly, and in the smile like a flower, she was really happy. Completely undisguised joy rose from the corners of her lips. The corners of his eyes widened, as if he felt like he was back in his childhood. His heart trembled slightly, and he quickly concealed his feelings again, and stood there with his head down. I don't see the slightest bit of anything unusual.
Mu Xuan was also in a rare good mood, and he asked Cui Shangzhou: "You have something to do with me?" ”
Choi Sang-ju nodded in agreement.
Mu Xuan turned around and said to Duan Hui: "Sister, I will go to the study with Shangzhou to talk." ”
Duan Hui said: "Go, Xiao Qi will go back after eating." ”
Cui Shangzhou respectfully agreed. retreated all the way to the door, and then turned around and followed Mu Xuan out.
The flowering period of the pear tree in the Tang pear study has passed. There are many new leaves on the branches before they spit out, and it is a scene full of life.
The two poured out the study, and the maid took the tea and withdrew. Mu Xuan sat on the back chair he often sat on, and Cui Shangzhou sat in front of him. He was slightly settled in his heart, and suddenly asked: "Is there anything happy today, the county lord likes it so much?" ”
Mu Xuan said: "Maybe, maybe it's because she likes it very much when you come." ”
Cui Shangzhou's heart was like a stormy wave, and he looked at Mu Xuan in surprise.
Mu Xuan didn't care, and said: "She is in a rare good mood, so it's okay." Anyway, she has been lonely since she came back. Another day, I really want to bring Miss Li 15 to talk to her. ”
Cui Shangzhou reorganized his feelings, he was already very calm, and he said calmly: "Mama Lei arrived in Bianliang early in the morning. As soon as she came, I came to the villa to look for you, how do I know that you are not there, I heard that you went to Anyang? ”
Mu Xuan nodded and said, "I went to visit Lord Rong." ”
"Rong-sama?" Cui Shangzhou was a little surprised.
Mu Xuan said again: "Yes, it was delayed for a few days. Didn't you think that someone had already received it, and she now lives in Xinghua Lane? ”
"Yes, settle her there for the time being, as you command."
"Very well, I'll go see her in the afternoon."
Cui Shangzhou was stunned for a while. Mu Xuan said in front of him: "I have to go to Beijing in some time, do you want to go with me?" ”
Cui Shangzhou was stunned and said, "Go to the capital? What am I going to do in the capital? ”
"What to do. Paving the way for you, of course. What do you think? ”
Cui Shangzhou had completely come back to his senses and said, "I'll think about this matter carefully before replying to you." ”
"Cheng, it's a bit sudden to tell you about this. Make a decision as much as you can, and I'll wait for your answer. It may be about ten days before I leave. ”
Cui Shangzhou said in his heart, why did Mu Xuan suddenly want to go to the capital. I hadn't heard any wind before, so I couldn't help but be curious: "What are you doing in the capital?" ”
Mu Xuan hid it from his sister, but he didn't plan to hide it from his friend.
"I'm going to go into the palace to run a run, and if I go along the way, I may have to go to the camp in the northwest in the future."
"Northwest? Are you crazy, can you stay in that place? ”
Mu Xuan said: "You can't be stupid, how did those soldiers survive." I'm not here to be happy. Instead, I want to be able to make contributions in the future and break into a world. Even if you go to make a small flag first, it doesn't matter. ”
Cui Shangzhou was extremely shocked, is this person in front of him still Mu Xuan, whom he has known for more than 20 years? Or is it Mu Junhua, who has been sick since he was a child, and then went to the temple, with a pure heart and few desires, and is dedicated to seeking Buddha?
He felt that he didn't know Mu Xuan, what could make a person who had no desires and no desires have such a big change?
"Okay, why do you want to go to the Northwest Camp?"
"I can't rely on my sister and rely on your little rice in the court for the rest of my life. In the future, we still have to rely on ourselves to go step by step. As a man, I hope that I will be able to protect my wife and children in the future. As a big tree can give them something to rely on. ”
Mu Xuan's sudden change made Cui Shangzhou a little uncomfortable, he only said: "The county lord also agrees?" ”
"How can I tell her this, I don't plan to sue her for the time being."
"That's right, the county lord feels sorry for you, and she definitely doesn't want you to suffer."
"Well, would you like to follow me on your adventure?"
Although Cui Shangzhou's uncle is a long history in the palace, and his father is just a small official, he has been clothed and fed since he was a child, and he has never been short of food and clothing, and he has never suffered hardship. The family has a field and a shop, and the family also does business. He didn't even want to go on a career in office, let alone join the army. He didn't think he had the courage and determination like Mu Xuan, so he shook his head and said, "No, I'd better forget it." ”
Mu Xuan naturally knew him, and he was not reluctant.
"Before I decide, please help me hide it from my sister, I don't want her to be sad."
"I know."
Mu Xuanguaner.
Cui Shangzhou asked again: "Then what are you going to do about this now?" ”
Mu Xuan frowned and said: "Since I can hide it for so many years, I'm afraid that I won't be able to find out for a while, and it's too late to let it go for the time being." Besides, you can help me even if you're still in Bianliang. ”
Cui Shangzhou was naturally willing to help him. As soon as Mu Xuan said a word, he immediately stepped forward. Never questioned the slightest.
He looked at Mu Xuan, who was different from the past, and said with some doubts: "I heard that people in the palace proposed to the Rong family, and said that they fell in love with the third lady of the Rong family. Is there such a thing? ”
Mu Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, I went to Anyang for this matter." However, I still haven't been taken seriously, but I am more clear about what the future path should be. ”
Cui Shangzhou was a little curious about the ins and outs of this matter, and couldn't help asking, "Did you go to Anyang to find Second Master Rong to talk to Xiang?" ”
Mu Xuan smiled bitterly: "Yes." It's a pity that I'm still a little worse. ”
Mu Xuan made such a big move, which made Cui Shangzhou puzzled, and he couldn't help asking: "You really want to marry Miss Rongsan, don't you?" ”
"It's not sincere, but it's not dead yet. I might as well take the opportunity to move forward, and maybe I can impress Lord Rong. "Mu Xuan is a serious person, as long as he believes in something, he will do it well and never back down.
In the afternoon, Mu Xuan and Cui Shangzhou went to Xinghua Lane together. Mama Lei has been here for three days, and she is completely used to it. What's more, with her son by her side, she is very satisfied.
When Mama Lei saw Mu Xuan, she couldn't help but get up and salute him.
Mu Xuan stepped forward to reassure her: "Mama sit still." ”
Mama Lei looks two points older than the last time she came, could it be that she is not doing well in Nanyang? Mu Xuan was suspicious, and couldn't help but care about her: "Is Mama used to living here?" ”
Mama Lei said: "Very good, I am very happy to live with Bogoer." ”
Mu Xuan asked again: "Then you will stay in Bianliang and not return to Xingyang, will it be successful?" ”
Mama Lei looked a little flustered and said, "No, no, the old slave still has to go back." ”
Mu Xuan looked at Mama Lei's flustered eyes, his heart sank, and sure enough, Mama Lei still had something to do with him and didn't completely tell him. Come on, she doesn't want to say it, just let her be. Mu Xuan respects this nurse very much, if Mama Lei doesn't want to speak, forget it. He is not willing to force people. (To be continued.) )
