Chapter 437: Xiao Moke's Surprise
"I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch! I, Xiao Yao, are dedicated to the country and the people, and I have no regrets in doing things! Xiao Yao said stubbornly.
"Forget it, father-in-law, let's not talk about these unpleasant things! Anyway, I am already the assassin of Xuzhou now, far away from the party struggle above the imperial court, my main task now is to govern Xuzhou well, and not let the Qi State take Xuzhou away again, I don't care who will be the emperor in the future! And who knows what will happen in the future! Xiao Yao said domineeringly.
"Stay away from the party strife in the imperial court, I hope Shiro you really think so! Now that the Qi State has just been defeated, it is no longer able to counterattack Xuzhou, and the purpose of the second phase of our Chen State's Northern Expedition has also been achieved, so during this time, the three kingdoms of Chen, Zhou and Qi will indeed not provoke large-scale wars, and the situation here in Xuzhou is relatively stable! As long as you honestly govern Xuzhou and no longer do things that go against the way of the monarch and the ministers and stimulate the partisan dispute between the DPRK and China, then my task of coming to Xuzhou to supervise you will be much easier! Xiao Moke said with relief.
In fact, the father-in-law can also live more easily and faster! Although my father-in-law came to Xuzhou as the deputy commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, it was an official business, and it was normal for it to be inconvenient to bring relatives, but Aunt Ren is not married to my father-in-law now, she is now half of my Xiao Yao's mother-in-law, and she came to Xuzhou to visit my son as my Xiao Yao's aunt, which is a matter of course! And now the general firm is also constantly moving all kinds of industries to Xuzhou, Aunt Ren is the manager of the general casino, she can also use the identity of the second head of the general firm to come to Xuzhou for official business! Why didn't my father-in-law bring Aunt Ren to Xuzhou with him, and then my son would take care of you two elders! Xiao Yao asked curiously.
"Do you think we're all as cheeky as you are, and we don't know how to do things?" Xiao Moke deliberately scolded angrily, but then sighed and said helplessly: "I also mentioned this matter to Yuanyuan, but Yuanyuan is more knowledgeable than you and can take care of the overall situation!" I, Xiao Moke, have been idle at home since I was removed from office by Your Majesty, but now I was suddenly appointed by Your Majesty as the deputy commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army, although I don't have any real power, but it is also a high honor, which will inevitably attract the jealousy of many people! So in order to prevent me from being caught, Yuanyuan was caught and ridiculed at me Xiao Moke is a mediocre person who is addicted to beauty and greedy for pleasure, so she refused to come to Xuzhou with me! ”
"But that's okay, now our father and son are both in Xuzhou, and your eldest brother is following Wu Dudu to serve as the commander of the cavalry battalion in Shouyang, and the men of our Xiao family are not in Jinling City, but your mother is getting sicker and more sick and unable to handle family affairs, so now we can only rely on Yuanyuan alone to support our Xiao family! With her watching in Jinling, we are fighting for the country outside, and we are more at ease! And she also said that because your general trading house has a good relationship with the queens and concubines in the harem, it is very convenient for her to enter the palace, so she is ready to visit Wuhua in the East Palace! Xiao Moke said with a relieved face.
"Auntie is going to the East Palace to visit Wuhua? This, that's a bit out of place, right? Xiao Yao said knowingly, because he knew that Ren Yuanyuan was going to the East Palace, and it must be to complete the task he gave her, enter the East Palace, and take the opportunity to seduce Chen Shubao!
"What's out of place? Yuanyuan has already married me Xiao Moke, since she is your aunt, she is naturally also Wuhua's aunt! And now that I come to Xuzhou, I can be regarded as going out on official business, and my aunt will enter the palace to visit her daughter instead of our Xiao family, who dares to gossip! Xiao Moke said confidently and proudly.
Because Ren Yuanyuan became a celebrity in Jinling City after the poetry conference, many dignitaries, gentlemen and virtuous people are like getting this bewitching and sultry stunner! But now he was the first to be close to the water and the building, relying on his identity as the father of half of the young owner of the general firm, he successfully won Ren Yuanyuan, and married her into the Xiao family, and suddenly Xiao Moke became the object of envy and jealousy in Jinling City!
And Xiao Moke, who hugged the beauty, saw the envy, jealousy and hatred of those men in his eyes, which suddenly made his vanity explode, and he felt very satisfied, and the whole person seemed more confident and proud!
Xiao Moke suddenly showed a smug smile and said to Xiao Yao: "But speaking of Wuhua, my father-in-law still feels a little sorry for you in his heart, so when I set off to Jinling City, I went to Xu's Mansion on purpose, visited Xu Shangshu, and then proposed to their Xufu for you!" ”
"My father-in-law proposed to Xu Shangshu for me? Did Xu Shangshu promise to marry Miaomiao to me? Xiao Yao asked in surprise, Xiao Moke did succeed in giving him a surprise this time!
Of course he agreed! You must know that you Xiao Shilang is now our Da Chen's Xuzhou Thorn History, and you are no longer the little blacksmith who wandered the rivers and lakes back then! Xiao Moke smiled proudly, because he felt that the reason why Xiao Yao had today's achievements was all due to his discernment when he was in Jiangzhou, accepted Xiao Yao as his righteous son, and then brought him into the military circles, so that Xiao Yao could have the opportunity to be among the scholar class, so that those scholars who looked down on the children of the poor family could be impressed by Xiao Yao from a humble background!
"And you made a poem at the poetry conference, and your blockbuster performance has long made Xu Shangshu appreciate you very much, plus you and his granddaughter are in love, and you stay in the general casino every day, and even the world laughs at you for leaving Your Majesty aside in order to have fun with her, so he has long been looking forward to our Xiao family going to the Xu Mansion to propose marriage! I guess if we don't propose to him again, he'll have to send her granddaughter to you!" Haha, you don't know that since you successfully recovered the entire Xuzhou in just two months, and was appointed by His Majesty as the Assassin of Xuzhou, how many wealthy families in Jinling City have expressed to me that they want to marry our Xiao family, and they are all vying to marry their daughters to you! Xiao Moke said with a laugh.
"It's not because you are already His Majesty's in-laws, the prince's father-in-law, so those who tend to be inflammatory, naturally want to climb the promising tree of our Xiao family! I believe that with the current status of our Xiao family, let their daughters be the concubines of the eldest brother, they are all willing! Xiao Yao said with rare modesty.
"Now I'm talking about your life's events, don't go to your big brother!" Xiao Moke glared at Xiao Yao fiercely, and then continued: "I have already discussed with Xu Shangshu, it just so happens that I am also here in Xuzhou City, after all of you pick a good day and an auspicious day, you will send a team to pick up his granddaughter to Xuzhou in Jinling City, and then you can officially visit the church and get married!" ”
"Send a pick-up team? Can't I go back to Jinling City to marry Miaomiao in person? After all, this is also a wonderful lifelong event, she should hope to marry me ceremoniously in front of all her relatives! Xiao Yao said with a little regret.
"You are now the assassin of Xuzhou, without His Majesty's will, how can you leave Xuzhou at will! Xu Shangshu and the others all understand the difficulties of being an official in a foreign country, so they didn't ask for anything, but just asked you to treat his granddaughter well in the future! But now that your general firm has earned so much silver, the dowry is naturally indispensable, so I have asked Yuanyuan to prepare for you, and then you will obediently stay in Xuzhou City and prepare to be the groom's official, and when the Xu family girl comes, she will officially visit the church and get married! After getting married, you are a real manly husband, with the country and family on your shoulders, you can't do such nonsense anymore! Xiao Moke said excitedly.
