Chapter II: Conflict (II)
"The bride is out!"
Mu Zhixi wore a red hijab and walked out of the Mufu compound with the help of the maid Qin'er.
"Oops! Look at the satin finish of this wedding dress, how meticulous! At first glance, she is a lady from a big family! ”
"Isn't it? Miss Mufu is virtuous and virtuous, and she looks like a fairy! ”
"Who is the bridegroom? married such a beauty, but I don't know the blessings of several lifetimes! ”
"The groom is the young master of Nangong Mansion! is polite, but it is different from ordinary rich children! It's a well-read and handsome character! ”
"That's really a talented woman, a match made in heaven!"
"Oops! Look! The young master of Nangong Mansion is here! ”
The big guys looked forward together, and saw a tall white horse sitting on the horse, wearing a wedding dress, wearing a red crown, a tall figure, about eight feet tall, with a delicate appearance and an extraordinary temperament, walking towards Mufu with a smile on his face. Mu Zhixi had already walked out of the mansion and was about to step on the sedan chair, when he heard the shouts of the people, he involuntarily stopped and stood in the direction where Nangong Zishu came. Nangong Zishu drove the horse slowly in front of Mu Zhixi, dismounted, took Qin'er's place, and gently helped Mu Zhixi into the sedan chair.
"Get up! Play joy! ”
The scene was a jubilant scene. Everyone was boasting about the demeanor of the son of the Nangong family, how gentle the young lady of the Mu family was, how the children of the two families were matched, and how talented and beautiful they were.
The children on the road jumped and sang loudly: "The red lantern is hanging high, whose daughter is going to get married?" Miss Mufu painted her makeup and married Nangong like a flower. ”
"Miss! Did you just hear that? ”
"Listen...... Heard it. ”
"Miss! You're so happy you can't speak! ”
"Qin'er!"
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Second worship high hall!"
"Husband and wife worship each other!"
"Into the cave room!"
“……”
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations! Nangong-sama! ”
"Rejoice! Wood-sama! ”
"Hahaha! Brother Wei Ran! Zhixi married into your family, you have to treat her well! ”
"That's nature! Zhixi, this kid also grew up with me! I will treat her like my own daughter! ”
"Hahaha! Walk! Brother Wei Ran, let's go drink! ”
"Let's go!"
It was late at night, and the master and servant of the wooden mansion had also returned to the mansion.
"Jing Gong?"
"Mother?"
"Zhixi has married into Nangong Mansion, and Zishu and your sister have been friends since childhood. Now, all Mother cares about is you. ”
"Mother, Jing Gong is still young, why do you have to plan so early?"
"If you want to get married eventually, your mother will find you a good family."
Mu Jinggong lowered his head and stopped talking.
In the princess's mansion, Meng Sangongzi was upright and arched his hand: "The grass people visit Princess Su'an." I wonder what the princess summoned the grass people? ”
"Master Meng, don't be formal. I'm inviting you here today just for a small talk. I've long admired the name of Childe, and I want to see it today. I hope that the son will not dislike it. ”
"Why did the princess say this, it is the luck of the grass people to be summoned by the princess, how can they be disgusted?"
"Then sit down!"
Meng Sangongzi gave his hand again, walked into the princess's mansion, and sat opposite the princess. Meng Sangongzi wears a white jade hairpin, his hair is neatly combed, he is dressed in a white silk gown and a white silk hakama, and he has thin ink-colored fast boots on his feet. Princess Su'an wears a light blue silk veil on her face, wears light blue satin, ties emerald Hetian Baoyu at the waist, wears a golden hairpin on her head, has a slender figure, a peaceful face, small jasper, and does not lose the atmosphere.
"When I saw it today, Princess Su'an was really beautiful! Gentle and virtuous, comparable to Shih Tzu! ”
"Meng Gongzi is really eloquent, but he is very good at pleasing and appreciating the rich ladies!"
"Where's the princess? The grass people are true. Don't look at the princess wearing a veil, but you can still see from the veil that the princess is like a flower. ”
"Let the third prince smile, Yun Yi has been wearing this veil since he was a child, and I hope that the son will not be surprised."
"The princess is really tormenting the grass people. Even today's saint has never seen the dignity of the princess behind the veil, I only
How dare a grass folk have such delusions? ”
"Haha~ The third son is also a talent, he must be talented, right?"
"Thanks to the princess's praise, the grass people are flattered."
"Hehe~ Summoning the son here today is actually Yun Yi wanting to ask the third son about it. I wonder if Childe can solve his doubts? ”
"Princess, please say, the grass people must know everything, and there is no end to what they say."
"I don't know if the third prince can get acquainted with Shen Fan, Lord Shen?"
"Lord Shen?" Meng Sangongzi smiled and said, "Lord Shen is a popular person around the saint today, who doesn't know who doesn't know?" ”
"Hehe~ Nature is well known. It's just that I don't know if the third son is familiar? ”
The princess laughed. The villain is just a grass people, how can he climb to a high-ranking official like Lord Shen? ”
"Third son, I'm not a person who likes to go around and around. Heh~ I just don't know what the third prince thinks of Lord Shen? ”
"Haha~ The princess is really joking, the villain is just a grass man, how dare she judge the nobleman?"
Princess Su'an smiled, picked up the white jade wine jug in front of her and poured two glasses of wine, one in front of Meng Sangongzi and the other in front of herself.
"The third prince is really a cautious person, I salute you." With that, Princess Su'an picked up the wine glass in front of her.
"Princess! You've tormented me! It should be the grass people toasting the princess, how can it be adjusted? Meng Sangongzi hurriedly picked up the wine glass.
"Then I'll do it first." After that, Princess Su'an drank it all.
Meng Sangongzi hurriedly responded and drank it all.
"The princess is really a good drinker!"
"Third son, did Lord Shen look for you today?"
"Princess, where is that? The grass people have no relationship with Lord Shen, so how could Lord Shen look for me? ”
"Third Prince," Princess Su'an once again picked up the flask and poured wine for the two of them, "I should also toast you for your spirit." With that, he drank it all again. Meng Sangongzi was a little at a loss, so he hurriedly followed and drank it all.
"Third Prince, although your spirit is very admirable to me, I also said just now, Yun Yi doesn't like people who twist and turn, so what's the harm in being straightforward?"
"I really don't know what the princess wants to know?"
"Shen Fan asked Gongzi to assassinate Lord Mu Zeyu three days later?"
"Princess! That's unspeakable! Assassinating a court official is a serious crime! ”
"As far as I know, the third prince has also done a lot...... Something like that, right? ”
"What do you mean by a princess? Don't you want to impose a crime on Meng? ”
"On the surface, he is the third son of the Meng family, but in fact, he ......," Princess Su'an said in a low voice, "but he is also the killer of Yulongtai." ”
"Princess! You ......"
"Huh? Don't rush to defend yourself just yet. I didn't even think to report you. Princess Su'an picked up the flask again and filled it with wine.
"Third son, Yulongtai...... Father is tracking down tightly! I believe you know what kind of person Shen Fan is. But as the saying goes: take people's money and eliminate disasters for others. This is true, but have you ever wondered what the result will be after the disaster is eliminated? This princess also believes that you understand people, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and the dead can't say anything. ”
Meng Sangongzi said with a smile: "As the princess said, if I do such a thing, I think if the emperor inquires about this matter, Meng is not talented, thinking that it is also a good choice to find someone to be a companion before he dies, and Lord Shen must also be thoughtful." In comparison, I still have a chance of winning. ”
Princess Su'an also smiled: "The third prince is really cute!"
"What does the princess mean by that?"
Princess Su'an said with a smile: "Do you think Shen Fan will give you the opportunity to meet your father?"
Meng Sangongzi's face suddenly changed, his face was like ashes, his eyes were staring at Princess Su'an, and the corners of his mouth began to twitch unconsciously.
Princess Su'an ignored him and continued to say with emotion: "When the time comes, he can make up a paragraph: 'The murderer is afraid to meet the saint in person, and he deeply feels that the emperor's grace has done such an ugly thing, which has disgraced the ancestors and polluted the imperial land, and he feels ashamed and embarrassed, and commits suicide in fear of sin.'" exonerates himself. However, the murderer is dead, and everything is nothing but death without proof. ”
Meng Sangongzi suddenly got up from his seat and knelt down in front of Princess Su'an.
"Princess! Lord Shen did look for me today, he ordered me to slaughter Mu Mansion in three days, and he was bound to kill Lord Mu Zeyu with his own hands, and the rest of the people were left to me. ”
"Why three days later?"
"Lord Shen said that today is the marriage of Miss Mufu, and it will be the time to return to the door in three days, and you can catch it all."
Humph! The heart of a villain! You just said that the rest of the people are waiting for you to dispose of? Is that Tufu what Shen Fan said or is it your own decision? ”
"It was Lord Shen who said it. At first, he asked me to deal with it myself, but then he said that cutting the grass and eradicating the roots was the most necessary, so he ordered me to slaughter Mufu. ”
"Aren't you afraid that the Meng family will be affected after the incident? Although your father is a wealthy businessman, the murder at the feet of the Son of Heaven cannot be solved with money, not to mention that this is not an ordinary homicide. This thing you have done alone is enough to punish the Nine Clans! ”
"Lord Shen said he would take care of me."
"Humph! I'm afraid that he will leave himself clean at that time. ”
"Princess! Princess, please save me. ”
"Summoning you today is naturally to save you, the third son, please get up."
"What's the princess's plan?"
"What Shen Fan wants you to do will be done as originally planned, but you can rest assured that you will definitely be safe and sound."
"Doesn't the princess want to save Lord Mu Zeyu?"
"Mu Zeyu? The affairs of Mufu have nothing to do with me, and I don't like to meddle in things. Besides, Shen Fan? Hum! Princess Ben didn't want anything to do with him. ”
"Then why did the princess save me?"
"Saving you was just a matter of incident. What I have is not just Shen Fan's little belly. ”
"Yes! Princess, you have a wide range of knowledge and a broad mind, so naturally you can't compare with ordinary people. ”
"Third son, after this glass of wine, we will temporarily reach a reunification." Princess Su'an picked up the wine glass and waited for Meng Sangongzi. Meng Sangongzi hurried to catch up.
"Do as the princess commands!" The two drank it all.
After Meng Sangongzi retreated, the maidservant Xiao Nai stepped forward and asked, "Princess! Is this third son credible? Will you tell the plan? ”
"He? Just a person who does things for people. He was afraid that he would no longer believe in Shen Fan now. Since Shen Fan can't believe it, and he can't return the honoraria he received, he can only believe me. ”
"Princess, the slave and maid still have a clue."
"What?"
"Is Shen Fan really going to slaughter Mu Mansion because Lord Mu collided with him above the court?"
"Of course not. It's just a trigger point. Above the lobby, only Mu Zeyu dared to admonish directly, and the others were afraid of getting into trouble on the one hand, and on the other hand, they were all benefited by Shen Fan. Why did Shen Fan try his best to prevent the state treasury from helping Lanqi County, and how could a rainstorm reach the point of starving to death? ”
"It's because of the heavy rain, so there is no grain harvest."
"This is one of the reasons, but the main one is that the local officials are heavy on excessive taxes. Life is already not easy on weekdays, and with natural disasters, it will only be more difficult. ”
"Then what does this have to do with Shen Fan?"
"Shen Fan is just a eunuch, how can he get so much money to bribe the powerful and the ministers of the court. Do you think he's favored now because of his slick skills? It's more of a good word inside and out. A person who has been sitting in one seat for a long time will inevitably have some other thoughts. Even if you don't have an idea, you want to protect what you have. What's more, this is still a group of ambitious people? Xiao Nai, let me ask you, at that time, it was Shen Fan who put forward the common people? ”
"He brought it up, when the emperor was angry, Shen Fan said that the common people were not enough to make the emperor angry and hurt."
As soon as he said this, he also expected that Lord Mu would continue to admonish directly, thus angering his father. Then everything went naturally, and the officials of Lanqi County were heavily punished, and the mouths of the living were blocked. ”
"I see. It's just a pity that Lord Mu will eventually destroy his sincere heart to serve the country. Princess, we really ......."
“…… Save the two sisters of the Mu family, they will be of some use to me. ”
"Yes!" Xiao Nai was a little happy in her heart, and the joy was not that there were still survivors in Mufu, but that Her Royal Highness the princess still had compassion. Although the princess's words were full of scheming and exploitation, Xiao Nai thought in her heart that the princess was just ruthless on the surface.
