"Brother, come in." Wu Mei pulled Wu Yuanming with her left hand, and Dai Yan with her right hand walked happily to her home, and said with a smile as she walked: "Brother, you are really here, it just so happens that today is the day of your niece Nacai, and Lord Ahsan, the general of Hangzhou, personally brought his son Saihe to our house to propose marriage, and wanted to marry your niece." ”

Wu Yuanming was taken aback, and said in his heart that Dai Zi fell in love with my niece at first sight, and if my niece married someone else, it would be troublesome, so he hurriedly asked Wu Mei: "County Lord, did you promise?" Dai Yan immediately understood what Wu Yuanming meant, and looked at Wu Mei nervously. And Wu Mei didn't think about it, so she smiled and agreed: "Of course I agreed, Lord Ahsan is a member of the first rank in the imperial court, and we are in charge of the Wu family. ”

"Oops." Wu Yuanming and Dai Yan both complained in their hearts at the same time, but Wu Yuanming was helpless, so he had to hold the idea of taking one step at a time to get Dai Zi out of the prison first, and followed Wu Mei into the courtyard of the county lord's mansion with a wry smile, and went straight into the main hall. Wu Mei and Wu Yuanming are sisters and brothers, they have nothing to do with each other, they haven't seen each other for many years and are extraordinarily affectionate, and there are many actions that exceed the relationship between ordinary friends, especially Wu Mei especially likes to pinch Wu Yuanming's handsome face, three sentences are not right, Wu Yuanming's face is pinched and pinched, coquettish and scolded, such actions are seen by people who don't know the inside story, and naturally give birth to a lot of suspicion - in short, the servants of the county lord's mansion and Ah Shan's father and son are peeking at the melon skin hat on Wang Yongyuan's head all the way - to see if it is a little dyed green?

"County Lord." When Wu Mei grabbed Wu Yuanming's ear again and scolded, Wang Yongyuan could no longer suppress the anger and suspicion in his heart, and rushed forward to whisper to Wu Mei - definitely not scolding or roaring, "County Lord, I know that you and Brother Wu have a good relationship, but everyone in the family is watching, do you pay a little attention to your words and deeds?" Wu Mei was told by her husband that she was first stunned, and then when she saw her hand holding Wu Yuanming's ear, she immediately understood that her husband had knocked over the vinegar jar, and couldn't help but be angry and funny, and complained: "You eat that men's vinegar?" He's mine....... ”

"County Lord——!" Wu Yuanming was afraid that his sister would leak his mouth, so he immediately reminded loudly. Wu Mei understood what her brother meant, so she had no choice but to let go of her hand, and said to Wang Yongyuan apologetically: "I'm sorry, I haven't seen Brother Wu for a long time, I'm so excited." ”

"County Lord, you said that Brother Wu is the most trusted personal entourage of the prince, but when Kangxi went to Yunnan in the third year, why didn't we see him? When did you meet Brother Wu? Wang Yongyuan didn't give up, and wanted Wu Mei to ask again. When did Wu Mei be asked by her husband like this, just wanted to be angry but saw Wu Yuanming's pleading eyes, Wu Mei swallowed her anger and said: "At that time, he happened to go to Guizhou on an errand, and I went back to Yunnan to visit my mother alone in the fifth year of Kangxi, and I met him at that time. ”

The second sister didn't betray herself when she was angry, Wu Yuanming finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Wu Mei's casual nonsense heard Wang Yongyuan's ears, which made Wang Yongyuan even more suspicious of the 'relationship' between Wu Yuanming and Wu Mei, especially when he saw Wu Yuanming's handsome little white face, Wang Yongyuan's taste was mentioned, it was like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, and the five flavors were full of sweet, sour, bitter and spicy. But in front of everyone, it was obviously not time to continue to ask, Wang Yongyuan had no choice but to swallow his anger and follow Wu Mei and Wu Yuanming into the main hall, seeing that Wu Mei pressed Wu Yuanming to the first place and sat down, and ordered his subordinates to Zhang Luo the best wine and food, and moved out of the jar of Moutai, which had been treasured for many years and was extremely valuable, to greet Wu Yuanming. And Ah Shan's father and son did not negotiate with Wang Yongyuan and Wu Mei because there were still some things, so they also cheekily entered the main hall of Wu Mei's house, waiting for the opportunity to discuss the family affairs of Sehe and Wang Ying'er.

"Oh, look at my memory!" Commanding the servants to be busy for a long time, Wu Mei suddenly remembered a big event, and hurriedly greeted the maid in the hall: "Quick, go and call the young lady out, let her come to meet my brother Wu, and ask her to accompany my brother to dinner." Hesse next to him was overjoyed, and also said: "Great, I haven't seen Miss Wang today." However, Hesse was also very suspicious in his heart, and said that our father and son had been here for almost half a day and had not seen Wu Mei call her daughter out, and now as soon as this little white face appeared, why Wu Mei couldn't wait to call her daughter out to meet, could it be that my future mother-in-law has an inexplicable relationship with this little white face?

The maid went for a long time and didn't come back, Wu Mei guessed that her daughter must have lost her temper again, so she instructed Wang Yongyuan to invite her daughter, Wang Yongyuan went in a low voice, and after a long time, a brutal and fierce voice finally came from the corridor outside the hall, "No!" Missing! Except for Brother Dai Zi, I don't see anyone! Hearing this voice, the two black faces of Ah Shan and Hesse father and son immediately became black and blue, elongated a lot, and Wu Yuanming was overjoyed, knowing that Dai Zi and Wang Ying'er were originally in love, and things were much easier to handle now.

"I don't see anyone——!" With that crisp and fierce voice, a cardamom girl was dragged into the living room by Wang Yongyuan, the girl was the same age as Dai Yan, and she was born very touching - no wonder Dai Zi fell in love with her at first sight. However, the most rare thing is that this girl's appearance is completely inherited from the Wu family, not only very similar to her mother Wu Mei, but also similar to Wu Yuanming's own uncle, plus Wu Yuanming has always been pampered, and his appearance is much younger than his age, so when the girl and Wu Yuanming are face to face, the people next to them are all amazed and suspect that Wu Yuanming and the girl are brother and sister/ Even the struggling girl stopped shouting, staring at Wu Yuanming's face in a daze, and only after a while did a sentence come out, "Who are you?" Why do you look so much like me? ”

"Because I'm your own uncle, it's not strange that my niece and uncle are elephants." Wu Yuanming first muttered in his heart, and then smiled at Wang Ying'er: "You are Ying'er, right?" I am a relative of your Wai Pingxi King, also surnamed Wu, and I am related to your grandfather and your mother, so we are so similar. ”

"Then are you my elder or my junior?" Wang Ying'er asked Wu Yuanming with a gloomy and beautiful little face. Wu Mei, who was smiling so hard next to her, interjected: "Ying'er, he is your elder, you should call him uncle." Wu Yuanming was worried at first that Wang Ying'er, a troublesome little girl, would be furious because she was a generation shorter than herself, but Wang Ying'er was not only not angry when she heard this, but cheered and threw herself into Wu Yuanming's arms, "Uncle, uncle, Ying'er has an uncle." ”

"Hey, my niece isn't as rude as she imagined." Blood is thicker than water, Wu Yuanming smiled happily and hugged his niece, secretly sighing that people are not good-looking, but Wu Yuanming quickly understood why Wang Ying'er was so affectionate to him. Wang Ying'er pleaded with Wu Yuanming with a small mouth: "Uncle, you have to make the decision for me, I don't want to marry Sehe's black dog bear, I want to marry Brother Dai Zi, you persuade my father and mother, and then help me send a letter to my grandfather, and ask my grandfather to intervene." ”

"Sure enough, it's a raccoon dog." Wu Yuanming smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that my niece is really a virtue with Hui'er and Zheng Xin. But Wang Yongyuan and Wu Mei stretched their faces and shouted in unison: "Ying'er, don't talk nonsense, don't be rude to your brother Saihe." ”

"Am I talking nonsense? I'm telling the truth! Wang Ying'er jumped three feet high, pointed at Seh and shouted, "Do you think he looks like a bear?" His face and hands are covered with black hair, and if he walks down the street without clothes, others will definitely think that the black blind man in the circus class has run out! I don't even know what you parents think? You want me to marry such a black bear? Brother Dai Zi is a thousand times more handsome than him, why don't you allow me to be with him. ”

As soon as Wang Ying'er's words fell, Sehe's inch-long black hairy face immediately pulled down, and his father Ah Shan suppressed his anger and smiled at Wang Ying'er: "Miss Ying'er said that she laughed, that Dai Zi is just a poor scholar and a sour talent, is that comparable to my son?" "Speaking of which, Ah Shan is also low for his son's marriage this time, and he wants to be replaced by the daughter of an ordinary people's family, Ah Shan also came to ask for his name and go six ceremonies to ask for relatives - just send the army to grab it. Wang Yongyuan and Wu Mei were so angry that their faces turned blue, and they roared together: "Ying'er, stop it!" That broken scholar surnamed Dai is not the right person, so he is worthy of you? ”

"I think I'm worthy of it." Wang Ying'er's voice was even more violent and sharp than her parents', and the sound was so loud that the dust fell on the beams of the house. Wang Ying'er turned to Wu Yuanming, who was already stunned, and pleaded softly: "Uncle, you can help me, please hurry up and inform my grandfather, please come forward to discipline my father and mother; Help me inform Dai Zi from Daijia Village outside the city, and ask him to come to my house as soon as possible, otherwise I will be forced to marry this black bear. ”

"What? Miss Wang, don't you know that my eldest brother has been arrested and put in prison by the government? Dai Yan blurted out. Wang Ying'er was stunned at first, and then shouted to Dai Yan in surprise: "You are Dai Zi's brother's sister?" No wonder I think you look like him. You said that Brother Dai Zi was arrested by the government, what is going on? Dai Yan was eager to save her brother, and hurriedly leaned into Wang Ying'er's ear and muttered in a low voice. And Ah Shan, father and son, and Wang Yongyuan, husband and wife, immediately understood Wu Yuanming's intention, and Ah Shan's father and son snorted coldly together: "It turns out that Wu Gongzi is here to come out for Dai Ziqiang." Wu Mei also waved her hand to Wu Yuanming and said, "Brother, don't worry about this matter, the person surnamed Dai is far from your niece's identity, even my father will not agree." ”

Wu Yuanming, who was suffering and had no chance to speak, had an idea, so he said seriously: "Who said that King Pingxi didn't agree to this family business?" County Lord, I came to Hangzhou this time to bring a message from King Pingxi to you and Jun Ma, King Pingxi likes Dai Zi very much and wants to recruit him as his grandson-in-law, so you must not disagree with the marriage between Ying'er and Dai Zi. Wu Yuanming turned to Ahsan and Sehe again and said: "General Ahshan, I'm really sorry, this is all what King Pingxi meant, if the general doesn't believe it, you can send someone to ask the prince of Pingxi directly." ”

"Uncle, are you telling the truth?" Wang Ying'er was overjoyed, took Wu Yuanming's hand and asked repeatedly. Wu Yuanming calculated that his father would definitely stand aside, so he simply opened his mouth: "Of course, the prince is full of praise for Dai Zi, a young man, and has been praising Dai Zi for being a once-in-a-century genius, and he is not only generally satisfied with his grandson-in-law." Speaking of this, Wu Yuanming touched his niece's hair lovingly, and said with a smile: "So the prince opened the golden mouth, except for Dai Zi, no one is allowed to marry this little girl." ”

"Grandpa is so good, and so are you, uncle." Wang Ying'er was overjoyed, and thanked Wu Yuanming shyly. Wu Mei was suspicious of Wu Yuanming's words, and when she was about to ask, she saw Wu Yuanming swiping her neck with a look, and kept talking back. Wu Mei understood, and regardless of the fact that this would arouse more suspicion from her husband, she stood up and said to Wu Yuanming: "Brother, you and your sister go to the back hall to talk." Yongyuan, you are here to entertain guests. "His wife wants to be alone with a little white face who suddenly appeared, Wang Yongyuan is naturally angry in his heart, but he has always been afraid of his wife like a tiger, and he doesn't dare to say anything.

Entering the back hall alone with Wu Yuanming, Wu Mei first drove away all the servants and maids, and then asked Wu Yuanming in a low voice, "Ying Xiong, what the hell are you doing?" Ying'er and the surnamed Dai have only known each other for a month, how could their father know about them? Also, there was news from the capital that you were poisoned to death, and my sister cried for you dozens of times, why did you come back to life? ”

"Second sister, my father doesn't know about Dai Zi, but I dare to bet with Dai Zi's head that if my father knows about Dai Zi's situation, he will definitely agree to Ying'er's marriage." Wu Yuanming quickly told Wu Mei about Dai Zi's skills, and then told him about how he pretended to be dead and escaped from Beijing, and finally Wu Yuanming threatened the second sister: "Second sister, what our family is going to do, I think you are also very clear, when your father makes a move, you should know what will happen to Ying'er who marries a Manchurian, do you want to kill your only daughter?" ”

"Of course the second sister knows about the affairs of the family." A hint of shrewdness flashed in Wu Mei's eyes, and she said gloomily: "It is precisely because of this that my sister agreed to marry Ying'er to the Ilgen Jueluo family. If his father does not fail or fails, the Ilgen Jueluo family and the Aixin Jueluo family have been friends for generations, and Sehe naturally has the ability to protect Ying'er, and she still enjoys endless wealth. Second sister's good intentions, can you understand? ”

"Second sister, you are confused." Wu Yuanming beat his chest and said: "If our father and the king cause an incident, it will be an unforgivable crime to destroy the nine clans, and no matter how good the relationship between his Ilgen Jueluo family and the Aixin Jueluo family is, he will not be able to protect Ying'er!" Besides, that Sech is interested in Ying'er's beauty, and after getting Ying'er, he will find a new love sooner or later, and when the time comes, he may take the initiative to hand Ying'er over to the court, so as not to implicate Ying'er. ”

Wu Mei stopped talking, as a woman, Wu Mei certainly understands the lustful temper of men - Wang Yongyuan is afraid that she is afraid to the bones, but because Wu Mei has never given birth to a son, Wang Yongyuan still accepted two concubines in order to inherit the lineage, and Sehe relied on the power of Ahsan, and was a well-known lecherous and lewd person in Hangzhou City, Wang Ying'er married in the past It is not difficult for Sehe to be spoiled for the time being, but it is difficult to say later. Wu Yuanming observed the words and saw that the second sister was shaken, and said hurriedly and bewilderably: "Second sister, I also told you about Dai Zi's skills, if his skills are used by our Wu family, whether his father's great cause can succeed will be at least thirty percent more certain." At that time, second sister, you will not be a mere Pingxi Wang County Lord, and others will have to call you a princess! ”

Wu Mei pondered for a long time, and finally relented and said, "Then according to your meaning, brother, what should you do for your sister?" Your brother-in-law has agreed to Ying'er and Seh's marriage, and the words have been spoken, how can my sister regret it? ”

"Second sister, let's do this...... Wu Yuanming leaned into Wu Mei's ear and muttered about his treacherous plan, Wu Mei was overjoyed when she heard this, pinched Wu Yuanming's face fiercely, and said coquettishly: "You bastard boy, how can you come up with such a lack of moral idea?" But you have to promise your sister one thing first, you are the son of your father, and the world will be yours after your father, and the second sister sacrificed her daughter for you, you can't treat the second sister's family badly. ”

……

After the sister and brother bargained and spent most of the hour alone, Wu Yuanming and Wu Mei returned to the hall hand in hand, at this moment it was already evening, Wang Yongyuan's face in the hall was black and blue, and a pair of eyes did not stop spinning on his wife, observing whether his wife's dress was abnormal; Dai Yan and Wang Ying'er, sisters with a messy relationship, were muttering on the side, not knowing what they were talking about; But Hangzhou General Ahsan's father and son did not know where to go. Wu Mei, who was about to refuse her family's affairs, couldn't help but be surprised, and asked Wang Yongyuan: "Yongyuan, where are General A and General Sai?" ”

"They said that they had to do military affairs with them, and they had just left." Wang Yongyuan replied with a blushing face. Without waiting for Wang Yongyuan to ask his wife what he had talked about with Wu Yuanming, Wu Yuanming had already patted his thigh and exclaimed: "It's not good, Ah Shan and Saihe, the two Wang Eight Lambs, must have gone to the Hangzhou Mansion Prison, and they will definitely kill Dai Zi to get rid of future troubles just in case!" Shouting, Wu Yuanming picked up Wu Mei and left, exclaiming: "County Lord, let's go to Hangzhou Prison immediately, and we must rescue Dai Zi before Ah Shan's father and son make a move." ”

"County Lord, you stop for me!" When Wu Yuanming took the initiative to take his wife's hand, Wang Yongyuan could no longer contain the doubt and anger in his heart, jumped in front of Wu Mei and pointed at Wu Yuanming and asked, "County Lord, let me ask you, what is your relationship with him?" Why do you two look so alike? Why does Ying'er look so similar to him? Could it be that Ying'er is his daughter? ”
