Chapter 266: First Strike
Although Mu Yunche was unwilling to marry Wu Lijuan, the marriage of the two was undoubtedly decided, and the Huangfu family considered that Wu Liying was the daughter of the Wu family, and she was still waiting to be in the boudoir, so she and Wu Shunde proposed to postpone the marriage date of Mu Yunche and Wu Lijuan for half a year, that is, at the end of May next year.
Wu Shunde naturally readily agreed.
To be able to marry the Marquis of Yongding again, he naturally felt very excited in his heart, no matter what, the Marquis of Yongding Mansion is still rich, and it is enough for him to be free for a while.
For this reason, Xia also went to Yiqing Garden to cry, saying that she would live a good life with Da Lang in the future, as long as Wu Lijuan was not allowed to pass the door.
Su Shi sighed, and said helplessly: "Da Lang's daughter-in-law, if you had this consciousness and lived well with Da Lang in peace, there would be no such thing as today, and now that Mrs. Tai and the master have discussed the matter, there will definitely be no change, you still die of this heart!" ”
"Mother, no matter what, Da Lang is your biological son, and no matter how poor your daughter-in-law is, she is also your daughter-in-law." Xia Shi said angrily, "What is that Wu Lijuan, she is just the niece of the previous lady, and we will definitely not be of the same mind, I think she should be Erlang's aunt, they are cousins and cousins!" ”
"Confused, Wu Lijuan** gave Da Lang, how can she be an aunt to Erlang?" Su Shi glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "Anyway, there is still half a year to go, what are you anxious about?" Don't you know that a lot can happen in half a year? ”
Is she willing to watch her niece in the Frontrooms be her daughter-in-law?
Dream!
"Half a year has passed quickly, and she is not getting married soon." Xia obviously didn't hear Su's off-string sound. said unhappily, "At that time, my mother shouldn't have agreed to this family business, a woman like Wu Lijuan who loves vanity, wouldn't it be over if she gave more silver!" ”
"What's the use of me not agreeing? Didn't you see that even Erlang's daughter-in-law intended to promote this? Su Shi said in a deep voice, "She is now spoiled by Mrs. Tai, of course what she said works, what am I?" ”
"Mother, you are the head of the Yongding Marquis Mansion, what is she? It's just that because you're pregnant, you want to kick your nose and face to meddle with these things? "The more Xia said, the more angry he became." She's just the daughter of a down-and-out uncle. Why is it so arrogant? ”
It turns out that this qiē is all a ghost made by this concubine, and she is really angry!
"What do you think she's for? With that piece of meat in her belly, no matter what she does, she is more justified than you. Su Shi seemed to be deliberately stimulating her, and continued to add fuel and vinegar. Don't look at Erlang's daughter-in-law's tepid work on weekdays. In fact, it is very means. Not only did he envelop Erlang's heart, but he also got pregnant before you, if it was a few months away. She gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Mu family, so your eldest sister-in-law will not be able to raise her head in front of her from now on, instead of mourning and complaining here, it is better to think about it. ”
If people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed.
"Right now, she is the most expensive person in the house, and her food, clothing, housing and transportation are carefully arranged, so we can't start if we want to!" What Xia said is true, Qingxinyuan's side is really like an iron wall now, even if she has a heart, she doesn't have a chance!
You can't force yourself to go to Qingxin Garden to hurt her, right?
The last time I went to the garden party, I almost sold her.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What to do not start, we are a family, there are some contradictions with each other, just complain a few words behind your back, you must not have any other thoughts, if the East Window incident, you and I can't escape the involvement. Su Shi scolded lightly.
This daughter-in-law is not a very good ally, so forget it!
Xia Shi saw that Su's rhetoric was very contradictory, but he thought that he would be wrong, so he retreated stupidly, and waited for that Wu Lijuan to enter the door, and she still saw it.
The ancestral house of the Wu family is in the eastern district of the city, more than half an hour away from the Yongding Marquis Mansion, Mu Yunchao has never been here before, and it took a lot of trouble to inquire before he arrived at the door of Wu's house.
There is no majestic stone lion guarding the door at the door of Wu's house, but a lush green bamboo is planted, and two big characters are written in the middle of the horizontal plaque above the gate: Wu Mansion.
The handwriting is vigorous and powerful, and the atmosphere is magnificent.
It should be a scholarly family.
It's just that after the old man Wu retired, he completely ignored the world, but was determined to be in the landscape, often three and a half years without seeing anyone, since the last time he traveled away from home, he has not come back for two years, and a few days ago he gave Wu Shunde a letter, saying that he would come back for the New Year, but he is still missing.
It is estimated that he will be half angry when he comes back, because almost all that can be sold at home has been sold out by Wu Shunde, and the former scenery of the Wu family is no longer there, only the green bamboo in front of the door is swaying in the wind, as if singing about the prosperity of the year.
It's a two-way mansion.
Mu Yunchao gently stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Excited and apprehensive.
In the middle of the night, a head poked out of the door, and when Lian Sheng saw Mu Yunchao, a glimmer of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and he said respectfully: "The fourth young master is here, please come in." ”
"Is Miss Watch there?" Mu Yun entered the door with his robe.
"The second lady is taking a nap at home, and the eldest lady went to the temple to offer incense, and she hasn't come back yet." Liansheng replied with a low brow.
When Mu Yunchao heard this, he turned his head and walked out: "Which temple did you go to?" ”
There are many temples in the capital!
"It's the City God Temple on the east side of the city." As soon as the words fell, Mu Yunchao had already turned over and galloped away.
"Who?" A sleepy-eyed voice came from the bead curtain.
"Second Miss Hui, it's the fourth young master." Liansheng replied truthfully, "It's gone." ”
Wu Lijuan snorted and fell asleep again.
What is he here for?
I didn't see it when I came.
Wu Liying unveiled, put incense on her face reverently, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the statue of the city god, before she got up and took the veil and retreated.
Today is her mother's death day, so she endured the discomfort on her face and went out.
Two women came to meet them, it turned out to be Xia and Mama Xu, and when they saw Wu Liying wearing a veil, both of them had disdainful smiles on their faces. Because of Wu Lijuan, the Xia family naturally wouldn't take care of Wu Liying.
Wu Liying originally wanted to come forward to say hello, but when she saw the two of them walking over as if they didn't see her, she bit her lip and walked out silently.
Out of the City God's Temple, there is a meadow, dotted with a few red maple trees, like clusters of burning torches.
The carriage and the people who came with the nobles were waiting here.
Wu Liying walked towards her carriage and got closer, only to find a piece of bamboo-colored clothes appearing in her field of vision. Look up. His face turned red: "Fourth Young Master." She didn't expect to see him here, and her heart couldn't help but beat wildly.
Under the sun, his face looked more and more radiant, and his sword eyebrows were starry. It's a good look. I have to say. The Langjun of the Mu family are all radiant.
Mu Yunchao simply jumped off the horse, walked in front of her, and said casually: "Such a coincidence? ”
"Hmm. It's a coincidence. Wu Liying smiled reluctantly, feeling the different expressions of the eyes that came from all around, and hurriedly said, "Since the fourth young master wants to put incense, the little girl will not bother, and she will leave first." ”
Whether he intended it or not, this person was by no means a good match for her.
In front of everyone's eyes, it's better to just talk less.
"You're just leaving?" Mu Yunchao asked quietly.
Wu Liying didn't squeak, and got into the carriage without looking back.
Mu Yun was full of anger, took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and threw it over: "This is what my second sister-in-law asked me to give you, it is a traditional Chinese medicine for external use, and it is said that it can completely cure the spots on your face." ”
"Thank you for me, sister-in-law." Wu Liying took the medicine and lowered the curtain with a blank face.
The carriage moved slowly.
Mu Yunchao had a cold face and entered the City God Temple angrily.
Lord Chenghuang, the wish she made just now doesn't count, you come according to me, I want to marry this woman, if I can make my wish come true, I will definitely reshape your golden body. Just let me marry her!
Under the shade of a tree not far away, Xia sneered: "These two sisters are really foxes, one shamelessly climbed onto the bed of the eldest young master, and the other looks pitiful, but intends to seduce the fourth young master, they really know people and don't know their hearts!" ”
"Young lady, if Miss Ying marries the fourth young master, won't Miss Juan have a backer in the future, and you are afraid that you will not be able to move her." Mama Xu pouted and said, "At the beginning, you and the fifth young grandmother did not agree to let them enter the Yongding Marquis Mansion, but Mrs. Tai insisted on taking them in. ”
"Humph! How can I let this little slut get his wish again! Xia Shi smiled coldly, "I have a way." ”
Mama Xu frowned and didn't ask again.
She is not Mama Yang, no matter what, she is a member of the Su family, although the Xia family is the daughter-in-law of the Su family, but in the end, there is a layer of belly, and there is some room for everything.
She was ordered to accompany the Xia family to the City God Temple to offer incense, not to listen to her twists and turns.
Xia Shi saw that Mama Xu was not interested, and it was rare to be smart, so he stopped his mouth stupidly.
After returning home, he couldn't help but mention to Mu Yunche: "If Cousin Sakura marries again, wouldn't Cousin Juan be even more fearless?" ”
Mu Yunche was worried about Wu Lijuan's affairs, and when he heard Xia Shi say this, his eyes darkened: "I have a way." ”
"What's the solution?" Without Mama Yang, the military advisor, the Xia family was like a headless fly, and now hearing Mu Yunche say this, he suddenly had a reassurance in his heart.
"A companion who used to follow the prince's side, recently got an errand in Bingzhou, more than twenty years old, and has not yet married a wife, a few days ago I begged me to find a good match for him in the capital, not to ask for a family, as long as the person is good, isn't Cousin Sakura just the most suitable person?" Mu Yunche smiled slyly, "That Cousin Sakura is not from our Hou Mansion, she just lived in the mansion before, but now that she has returned to her own home, the marriage matters are naturally decided by her parents, I don't believe that Wu Shunde is not moved." ”
A ready-made magistrate is always more attractive than a student of Guozijian.
"Wouldn't that be cheaper for her?" Xia was a little dissatisfied.
Why did she marry so well.
"You know only one thing, but you don't know the other." Mu Yunche snorted coldly and whispered a few words in Xia's ear, "With Cousin Sakura's temperament, she can only be patient, and it is impossible to be obvious to the world, I think, in a few years, she will die of depression, what are you eating." ”
"Da Lang, this matter should be done sooner rather than later, you have to hurry up." Xia Shi realized that he nodded vigorously.
"I'll go find Wu Shunde." Mu Yunche walked out of the house in a puff of smoke.
When Wu Shunde heard that he was a magistrate and Mu Yunchebao's matchmaker, he naturally agreed, and Mu Yunche was not ambiguous, so he immediately sent someone to Bingzhou to tell Cai Chuan, the magistrate of the prefecture, Cai Chuan, who responded and sent someone to discuss the matter of marriage.
The two families quickly reached an agreement and got engaged at the end of this month.
The marriage was completed on the eighth day of the lunar month.
With such a speed, not only did the people from the Yongding Marquis Mansion not react, but even Wu Liying was stunned, what is this!
Hurriedly looked for Wu Shunde: "Father, I don't agree with this family business, so I disdain to marry that magistrate!" The daughter wants to find a place to do her duty and live a peaceful and stable life. ”
"You're stupid! This family business is our high climb, you know? Wu Shunde persuaded, "Everyone says that you have a prosperous husband, and when Lord Cai rises to the top, he will definitely not forget you." ”
"Anyway, my daughter doesn't agree." Wu Li Sakura is extremely angry.
"If you don't agree, you have to agree." Wu Shunde was also angry, "From now on, you are not allowed to go out for me, give me a sedan chair." ”
When Mu Yunchao heard the news, he was naturally anxious.
couldn't help but run to Qingxinyuan to complain: "Second sister-in-law, dare to love me for working hard to buy medicine for her with silver, so that she can dress up and marry someone else!" You say I'm not wronged! ”
"Fourth brother, if you have a heart for your cousin, you can fight for it yourself, what kind of complaint do you come to me?" Shen Qingli said while sewing the embroidery work on his hands, "As the saying goes, if a family has a woman and a hundred families, you are already one step late, and now it is imperative to go to the Wu family to find out your mind with your cousin, instead of an ambiguous attitude all day long." ”
"But she's about to get married, what should I do?" Mu Yunchao couldn't help but grab his hair.
"Isn't it undecided!" Shen Qingli said disapprerovingly, "As long as you don't get married, everyone has the right to come to the door to propose." ”
"Then, then I will also let my mother go to the Wu family to propose marriage." Mu Yun ran towards his legs.
The Liu family was taken aback, and refused at the moment, saying that the Wu family's family background is low, and the door style is not good, just look at Wu Lijuan, Wu Liying is not easy to get along with, and persuade Mu Yunchao to die early.
Mu Yunchao said that the Liu family just didn't let go.
Helpless, Mu Yunchao had to ask for the Huangfu clan.
Huangfu didn't refuse, nor did he agree, but said indifferently: "What's yours is yours, it's not yours, and you can't ask for it, you have to come forward to ask the cherry girl yourself about it, if she is willing to follow you." (To be continued......)
