Chapter 502: Closing the Net (4K, with Pink 210+)
Mu Yelai really has no picky conditions now. Whether she believes in her eldest brother or not, the only person she can rely on now is him. Unless she goes to Gangneung on her own. It's a pity that the place is too far away, and she doesn't know the nature of water. If it wasn't for Xiao Shiji, she didn't want to go that far at all. The crown princess was grounded, and she had no choice but to settle for her eldest brother.
In any case, even if his eldest brother doesn't miss the love of brother and sister, he will never make a mistake when it comes to silver.
Mu Yelai responded with a smile and handed the letter to the eldest prince.
The eldest prince Muhou took the letter and opened the envelope in front of her to take a closer look.
Mu Yelai's face turned red suddenly, and he jumped up to snatch the letter back from the eldest prince's hand, and said angrily: "Big brother, how can you peek at my letter?!" β
While reading the letter, the eldest prince said with a straight face: "With such a large amount of 100,000 taels of silver, of course I have to be cautious." As he spoke, he raised his eyes from the envelope, looked at Mu Yelai and frowned, "What are you writing about?!" - Why didn't you mention a word about borrowing money?! You're chirping the whole paper, it's all nonsense! Throwing the letter back into Mu Yelai's arms, "Rewrite!" It is clearly written that you want to borrow 100,000 taels of silver, and it is better not to repay the interest! β
Mu Yelai held his letter and said dissatisfiedly: "What do you know? I didn't say a word, Brother Xiao took the initiative to send me money to spend, which proved that he really had me in his heart. β
The eldest prince sneered, pointed his finger at her head and said, "You have a bad brain, right?" - If you don't say a word, people can understand what you're talking about? Are you a man a roundworm in your stomach? If you fart, he will know if you are eating meat or fish today. β
"Big brother, you're getting more and more vulgar." Mu Yelai turned his face away disdainfully. Too lazy to talk to this big brother again.
The eldest prince of Mu Hou took off his robe, sat down at the desk of Mu Yelai, crossed Erlang's legs and said, "This is what you girls think, but you don't understand it." I'll tell you, if you don't say a word, he will never think of it. - If that's the kind of letter you have, uncle, I don't have to send it. Because if you go, you will go in vain, and you will not get back a penny. Do you know that I was going to risk my life to go, but I didn't get any benefit. What am I going to do? I'm not going to do this loss-making deal! "I'm going to get rid of it.
Mu Yelai couldn't. I think that what the eldest prince said still has some truth.
After bowing his head and muttering for a long time, Mu Yelai wrote another letter, this one, clearly proposing to borrow 50,000 taels of silver. said that he and his aunt were very poor. The mother-in-law at home is constantly persecuted. Life is extremely unbearable.
After writing it, I showed it to the eldest prince, but the eldest prince was still not satisfied, so he asked Mu Yelai to borrow 100,000 taels of silver.
Mu Yelai refused. said: "My aunt only lost 50,000 taels, why do you want 100,000 taels?" β
The eldest prince stiffened his neck and said, "Hey, aren't you going to try your position in his heart?" Isn't it true that the more silver, the higher the status? β
Mu Yelai was stunned for a long time, and found that she couldn't refute the words of the eldest prince, plus she had waited for too long, she wanted to know her position in Xiao Shihe's heart, so she sat back silently, tore up the letter that borrowed 50,000 taels of silver, and rewrote a letter borrowing 100,000 taels of silver.
Only then did the eldest prince smile and clapped his hands and said, "That's good!" Our family is going to make a fortune thanks to you. "The eldest prince has already made up his mind, as long as the 100,000 taels come smoothly, the one million taels of silver he owes will be repaid by his cheap brother-in-law......
Mu Yelai refused to give the letter directly to the eldest prince, and only asked him to swear that he must first take the first letter to express his lovesickness. If Xiao Shiji has been indifferent, when it is time to leave, let the eldest prince take out a second letter to borrow silver.
The eldest prince thought about it, and felt that this method was not bad, maybe there was so much hope in ten thousand, this Xiao Shi and the real love affair was hot, and when he saw the letter of the little lover's complaint, he immediately gave 100,000 taels of silver obediently. Wouldn't you like to take the opportunity to ask for more? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Xiao Shiji pretends to be deaf and dumb, he will take out the second letter that clearly borrowed silver, Xiao Shiji is thick-skinned, in front of himself, he will definitely not be stingy with a little silver, otherwise where will he put his big man's face? ! - Even if you don't have it at hand for the time being, you have to make it up for him!
Anyway, his sister is his savior, and the two have been in and out of Chang'an for a while, and everyone knows that his sister is already Xiao Shiji's person, Xiao Shiji doesn't want her, no one will marry her. Such a guy who eats idle food is kept at home, doesn't he have to pay silver?
Thinking about it like this, the eldest prince felt that everything was safe, and immediately packed his luggage, planning to go to Jiangling to see Xiao Shihe in person.
Before leaving, he secretly went to the outer room Chunniang who was raised for two nights before leaving.
Chun Niang took advantage of the time when he was living in her house, searched out his two letters, secretly opened them, and sent a copy of each honor to her own people.
Of course, these two letters of honor fell into Du Hengshuang's hands the most.
It was a beautiful spring afternoon, and Du Hengshuang and Zhu Susu were sitting under the grape trellis in the courtyard eating tea and chatting.
Du Hengshuang slowly finished reading Mu Yelai's letter, smiled, let out a long sigh, and said, "It turns out that she is just this kind of paragraph. If such a trick can also make the soldier tempted, he is not worth what I do. - I just packed up my things and took the children away. β
Zhu Susu said curiously, "Can you show me?" β
Du Hengshuang smiled and handed the letter to Zhu Susu.
Zhu Susu read it silently and said, "Except for the second one, which is a little too straightforward, the lethality of the first one is still quite great. I don't think the average man can resist this paper-filled tenderness. As he spoke, he shook the letter twice at Du Hengshuang.
Du Hengshuang picked up the teacup and took a sip, twisted a piece of rose glutinous rice and red bean cake and ate it, and said with a smile: "You are right, that is generally speaking." But nothing can be divorced from reality. Sometimes you think it's moving, but in the eyes of others, you feel bored or even stressful. Instead, it will backfire. - This would be a counterproductive example. She gestured to the letter in Zhu Susu's hand.
"Won't it?" Zhu Susu was stunned, and looked at Mu Yelai's first letter again, "How could it backfire?" I watched it, and to be honest, I was a little tempted. β
Du Hengshuang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Su Su, do you know what the battle situation is in Jiangling?" β
Zhu Susu rolled his eyes, suddenly leaned on the small stone table under the grape trellis, and said weakly: "Don't ask me about these things. I don't understand anything. Not interested, okay? β
Du Hengshuang smiled: "You see, Mu Yelai has lived in your hospital for a few months, just like you. It's long been out of touch with the outside. She probably didn't know what to do. Gangneung is now in the midst of a war. Shi Ji was anxious to clean up the mess left by Wang Qi Xiaogong of Nanning County, and he was definitely not in the mood to taste her euphemistic and complaining wind and snow. - I think her calculation is wrong, this second letter directly asking for money. You have to take it out. β
Only then did Zhu Susu understand, and he pounded the stone table with a smile and said, "Tut...... As soon as this second letter is taken out, her holy and generous image of not eating the fireworks of the world will be stained with the smell of copper! β
Du Hengshuang nodded, "Exactly." β
Zhu Susu asked Du Hengshuang, "People have made a move, what should you do?" Just sit at home and wait? - Tut, you are also really ruthless, the Marquis of Zhu Guohou has been gone for more than five months, and you can bear it, and you haven't written a word to him. I've heard that he sends you letters and things every once in a while. β
Du Hengshuang smiled leisurely and said, "I've almost dried him too, and now it's time to slowly close the net." This time, I also prepared a letter for him. As he spoke, he took Zhu Susu into the inner room and showed her the things and letters he had prepared.
Zhu Susu opened it, only to see the snow-white rice paper, only written "everything is fine at home, don't read" these eight words, but below these eight words, there are "Ping, An" two crooked words, at first glance it is written by a child, and then after the word "peace", there is also a chubby little foot pattern, printed on the back of the word "peace", connected, is the meaning of "safe return".
Du Hengshuang pointed to the chubby ink feet and said, "These are Brother Yang'er's little footprints." The first two words were written by Brother Ping and Sister An. β
In addition to the letter, there was also a large baggage, which contained two pairs of cloth shoes with mille-feuille soles, two pairs of cowhide boots, a few newly made tenzhu cotton underwear, and a pair of child-sized red gold foot bells.
Such warmth and atmosphere set off Ai Ai's thoughts and grievances in Mu Ye's later period very narrow and unbearable.
Zhu Susu didn't care about anything else, only the red gold foot bell attracted her idea, picked it up and played with it for a while, and asked Du Hengshuang: "Did you bring it when you were a child?" β
Du Hengshuang nodded with a smile.
That year, when their Du family moved back to Luoyang from Chang'an, she gave it to Xiao Shiji in the car as a souvenir. At that time, she went on a hunger strike to protest, and she would not divorce Xiao Shihe if she died.
Xiao Shiji ran to see her off, in the shaking carriage, with tears in his eyes, he heard her breath faintly say to him: "I wanted to learn Hu Xuan Dance and dance it for my brother to see." It's too late now. And my brother kept this pair of footbells, and when I learned it, I came to Chang'an to wear this pair of footbells and jump to my brother to see, okay? β
Young Xiao Shiji's eyes were as bright as stars in the sky in the dim carriage, and she remembered him nodding solemnly, "I'll wait for you to dance a whirlwind dance for me." β
β¦β¦
Where are the boys and girls who would rather die than be together now?
Zhu Susu listened to Du Hengshuang talk about the things of the year in a daze, tears couldn't help but welling up in her eyes, she hurriedly turned around and wiped it with the back of her hand, turned around and said with a smile: "This hand is really amazing!" Brother Xiao will never escape the palm of your hand! β
They are childhood sweethearts in the end, they have gone through so many ups and downs together, and have shared so many hearts and memories together. The good, the bad, the wonderful, the unbearable, they are in front of each other, there are no secrets.
Du Hengshuang seemed to be smiling, looking at the azure window curtain that was already a little old, and said in a trance: "...... If you really want to compare men's methods and compare Shiji's understanding, Mu Yelai will not be my opponent for a hundred lifetimes. I've just been reluctant to do it. I didn't know what to do, but it turned out that between me and Shiji, I had to use such a means to make him understand the bond between us. As he spoke, he looked back at Zhu Susu, his black and white eyes did not contain the slightest affection and emotion, "Since these methods have been used, it proves that I have forgotten all the affection we once had." From this moment on, he has left my heart. β
Zhu Susu looked at Du Hengshuang, and at this moment, she understood what kind of pain she had in her heart. Du Hengshuang, who had no reservations about Xiao Shihe and directly revealed his heart to him, is dead. Now in front of her, she is just a mature woman like a phoenix nirvana. ββAlthough mature, he is not as beautiful and touching as the young and unpretentious Du Hengshuang before.
When she scolded Du Hengshuang for not holding out her heart to Xiao Shiji and trampling on it, she still didn't understand how happy and difficult it was to be cherished by a person like this without reservation and wholeheartedly.
It's a pity that most people in this world are oscillating between missing out and being missed.
Zhu Susu couldn't help but burst into tears.
Du Hengshuang handed over a handkerchief and said softly: "Don't be sad, Susu." I am not doing this to save the hearts of the soldiers. If his heart has changed, I don't care to restore it. I have my pride. - The only reason why I did this was just to compare Mu Yelai. What I want to do is to uncover Mu Yelai's true face step by step in front of Shi Ji, and let him see what kind of character this 'generous' woman is. I can't be a little low like Mu Yelai, because that's not my strength, and I can't attack his strengths with my own shortcomings. Besides, I am not asking for mercy or favor from the people. β
What she wants is for him to truly treat her as a wife who is one with him, not his pet, nor the eternal little girl in his mind. Even if she was, she's grown up now. No one can stay in their infancy for the rest of their lives. If there is, it is a mentally retarded child with a brain problem, not a normal person.
Zhu Susu woke up with the handkerchief handed over by Du Hengshuang, and choked up with a thick nasal voice: "Okay, Shuang'er, even if that stinky man changes his mind, you still have our friends." Without Xiao Shiji, we have other men, so who, that little prince, isn't he very interested in you? Don't be too evasive......"
Du Hengshuang tilted his head, and his eyes flashed with a smile, "Okay, I'll think about it carefully." β
Zhu Susu said goodbye in the afternoon, and Du Hengshuang went out with her and went to the Haixi Palace, hinting that these two letters could be sent by the eldest prince of Muhou as they were.
