Volume 1: Above the Temple, Chapter 19: The Father and the Son (I)

"Huh?"

Mu Qiuhuang took the marriage letter in surprise, read it seriously twice from beginning to end, and learned that he had a marriage contract since he was a child, and the expression on his face became very exciting.

"Why didn't I know I was engaged?"

"You haven't asked me before?" Mu Qingen smiled strangely.

"Father, your answer is a bit irresponsible!" Mu Qiuhuang said dissatisfied.

Mu Qingen smiled and asked, "What?" Dissatisfied? ”

"What do you say?" Mu Qiuhuang said helplessly.

"If you want me to say it's a good match! You are the prince of Beiyu, and that girl is the daughter of the Marquis of Xilie, and she is very well-connected! Besides, I've seen that girl, she has been weird since she was a child, beautiful as a flower, generous and decent......" Mu Qingen kept praising her.

"By the way, father, when did you see this...... This Ji Ruoxue's? Mu Qiuhuang pointed to the marriage book.

Mu Qingen thought seriously for a moment and said, "When she was full moon." ”

"Then you can see that she is eccentric? Beautiful as a flower? Be generous and decent? Mu Qiuhuang's eyes stared at Mu Qingen.

"This ......" Mu Qingen's old face turned red but he didn't know how to answer, so he had to laugh.

Mu Qiuhuang looked at Mu Qingen's expression and rolled her eyes helplessly.

……

"I don't agree, I want to get out of the marriage." After a while, Mu Qiuhuang suddenly spoke.

Mu Qingen was not surprised by Mu Qiuhuang's decision, but asked calmly, "Have you thought about it?" ”

Mu Qiuhuang knew that the marriage contract was the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, but the parties were not qualified to decide, and once the marriage contract was married, then no matter which party violated the marriage contract, it would be a great shame for the other party......

But when I think that although it seems calm today, but the situation may change suddenly at any time, and I am a sea of qi that I can't use force, whether I can protect myself in the future is a question, let alone protect others? The most important thing is to let himself marry a woman he has never met, and Mu Qiuhuang has a trace of resistance in his heart.

Mu Qiuhuang didn't think about agreeing to this marriage, Mu Qiuhuang knew very well that this marriage was actually beneficial and harmless to him.

You must know that Ji Ruoxue is the daughter of Xiliehou, once the two get married, Mu Qiuhuang will be the son-in-law of Xiliehou, so that Xiliejun will fully support Mu Qiuhuang. The soil of Xilie Qinlu is fertile, the soldiers are strong, and the horses are strong, if this is cited as foreign aid, then everything can be done.

But as soon as this thought appeared in Mu Qiuhuang's mind, it was denied by Mu Qiuhuang.

Utilitarian marriage is irresponsible to each other, if there is no love simply for the sake of profit, then what happiness can there be?

If you get married like this, don't do it.

Mu Qiuhuang thought for a while, shook his head slightly, and said, "Yes, I have already decided." ”

"Do you know what this marriage means to you? Have you figured out the cost of your refusal to accept this marriage? Mu Qingen was worried that Mu Qiuhuang hadn't understood yet, so she asked again.

"Yes father, I have thought very clearly, you were able to refuse the holy decree for your mother's second time, I think you should understand my mind at this time." Mu Qiuhuang said seriously.

Mu Qingen looked at the son in front of him carefully, and after making sure that he really understood the benefits and losses in this marriage, he stopped persuading him.

Regarding Mu Qiuhuang's decision, Mu Qingen did not criticize her.

Because he has also experienced this age, he understands the persistence of this age.

He knows very well that his youth is the time when he is longing for love.

Love in this period is always so simple, far less than the gains and losses of interests in adult marriage.

Because it's pure, it's beautiful.

Because you understand, you understand.

……

Mu Qingen sighed and promised: "It's up to you, just to show my apologies to the Marquis of Beiyu, you need to go to the land of Qinlu in person to explain the reason for your divorce to the Marquis of Xilie, and personally find Miss Ji to return the marriage certificate." ”

"The child obeyed, thank you father for your understanding." Mu Qiuhuang nodded and agreed.

After the marriage contract was confirmed, the father and son did not speak for a long time.

Mu Qingen looked at Mu Qiuhuang and found that this son was as tall as himself, but his body was a little thin, and his eyebrows and eyes grew more and more like his mother...... Just this temper? Mu Qingen smiled bitterly, and said in his heart: "This stubborn temper is really ten out of ten with himself." ”

"Do you blame me for throwing you into the barracks when you were young?" Mu Qingen suddenly asked.

Mu Qiuhuang looked at Mu Qingen, and didn't know why he suddenly asked about this, but he still said honestly: "I complained before, but then I didn't complain when I figured it out." ”

"Hmm."

Mu Qiuhuang saw that Mu Qingen was in a bad mood, and continued to explain: "At that time, I thought that my father would only send me to the barracks if my aunt and second brother didn't want to see me, so I complained about my father at that time. But then I realized that my father was all for my good, and my father didn't have much time in the Hou Mansion at that time, and throwing me into the barracks was undoubtedly the safest for me, not to mention that if I grew up in the barracks, the soldiers in the army would definitely be more biased towards me in their hearts......"

"You know, why do you want to ruin your reputation?" Mu Qingen wondered.

Mu Qiuhuang knew that he was referring to the fact that he stepped on the red carpet to the green building, and smiled and laughed at himself: "Father, this time is different from the past?" ”

Mu Qingen's face sank when he heard this, and he comforted: "I have ordered people to go to Wudang Mountain and Longhu Mountain respectively to ask for Xiao Huang Dan and Da Huan Dan, both of which are Taoist holy places, and their pills may have an effect." ”

"Father, don't worry, I've accepted the reality. Besides, there's nothing wrong with that, it's just that you can't use force. Mu Qiuhuang smiled seemingly indifferently.

"Although he is a sword immortal, he is actually a rat, if he is not hiding like this, people can't find him, is it true that I can't slaughter the sword immortal in the Beiyu Marquis Mansion?" Mu Qingen said indignantly.

Thinking that the sword fairy was still at large after hurting his son, Mu Qingen was very depressed, knowing who the enemy was, but he couldn't find revenge, when did the Beiyu Marquis Mansion be so aggrieved?

"Father, don't be angry, if a generation of sword immortals wants to hide, who can find it?"

Seeing that Mu Qiuhuang persuaded himself in turn, Mu Qingen couldn't show anything more.

"By the way, father, the second brother wants to go to the military camp to ask me to tell you, don't you want to inconvenience with him?" Mu Qiuhuang suddenly spoke.

Mu Qingen looked at Mu Qiuhuang suspiciously, but found that he couldn't guess what this son thought.

"Do you know what the people below will think if I allow him to enter the barracks?"

"Isn't that bad?" Mu Qiuhuang tilted his head.

"You want me to allow him to enter the barracks?" Mu Qingen wondered.

"Yes father, I know that my father never allowed my second brother to get involved in the army, just to let him know his position and prevent our brothers from killing each other in the future.

But now is different from the past, such as today's unpredictable situation, and I am so angry that I can't use force, my father needs a successor who can convince the public, not a successor who is questioned.

The second brother is both civil and military, although he is young, he has six grades of martial arts cultivation, and if he is the successor, no one dares to have different intentions. ”

"Is this what you mean?" Mu Qingen stared at Mu Qiuhuang and asked seriously.

"The child's words are sincere, and even the child hopes that the father will correct the aunt and set up the second brother as the heir." Mu Qiuhuang said word by word.

"That's one of the reasons why you've stigmatized yourself?" Mu Qingen asked.

Mu Qiuhuang nodded.

"Bastard, if you think so, how can you be my son? ......" Mu Qingen scolded angrily.

Immediately, Mu Qingen seemed to think of something, pointed at Mu Qiuhuang and laughed: "You kid, you still come to be a father?" It seems that you have not only learned ten out of ten the stubbornness of your father, but even the cunning of your father has been learned by you...... You can treat your father like this, it seems that you don't need to worry about your father in the future? ”

"Hey......

Mu Qiuhuang was not embarrassed to see that his mind was seen through by his father, and he smirked.

Yes, Mu Qiuhuang was indeed testing just now, testing whether his father had the intention of changing the heir.

And Mu Qingen didn't guess Mu Qiuhuang's true thoughts at first, thinking that he was really disheartened, so he was furious and angry. But then Mu Qingen thought of Mu Qiuhuang's going to go to the ghost rain, and the matter of inviting the border army to the Qinglou, including the matter of subduing Yanzu...... If you really don't care, how can you cultivate your own power?

And Mu Qiuhuang naturally knew that he couldn't hide anything he did from his father, and of course he never thought of hiding it.

Don't forget that Mu Qingen is the heaven of Beiyu, and every grass and tree in Beiyu can't hide it from him.

As long as he wants to know, he must know.

Father and son both got the answers they wanted, looking at each other and laughing, with relief in each other's eyes.

It's like an old fox and a little fox.
