Chapter 17: Strong guests over the master

Who said that strong guests do not oppress the master.

In the hall, Li Ke, Qin Mubai and Mrs. Yang co-starred in a play, and the two brothers of the martial family obviously became spectators. Although the eldest brother is like a father, and the affairs of the martial arts family are now in charge of them, it is obvious that Li Ke is not ready to give them any face.

They can't do their own things, and although the martial brothers don't have a good taste in their hearts, they don't dare to show the slightest disgust, and they even have a little joy. No matter what, it is also a good thing for them to send a half-sister who does not like them and marry such a family as the Qin family.

Qin Mubai and Mrs. Yang signed and drew the marriage contract respectively, Li Ke shook the marriage contract, and laughed: "Today's good day should be celebrated with a banquet." Come on, let this king, the matchmaker, be the east, and invite the people of your two families to come to our house to celebrate. ”

As soon as the words fell, the martial brothers trembled as if they had been electrocuted, and they fell down excitedly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace!" ”

So abrupt.

Everyone was stunned, and the faces of the martial brothers suddenly turned red to the base of their necks.

This flattered minion is really a bit embarrassed to get home.

"Haha, get up, excuse me!" Li Ke waved his hand and said with a smile, "Mrs. Yang, about the wedding date, I want to listen to your opinion first, and I will see Yiguo Gong later, and Xiao Wang will also talk back." ”

The Wu brothers stood up in a gloomy manner, stood awkwardly awkwardly, and listened obediently with their hands down.

Mrs. Yang said: "My husband's new funeral is not too old. According to the Tang Dynasty ritual system, the bride will not be married for three years. Counting the time, there is still more than a year to go. At that time, the little girl Zhao'er will also be sixteen years old...... I wonder what His Highness thinks? ”

"Well, my Datang governs the country with filial piety, and it is as it should be to mourn for my father. Okay, just wait for the expiration of the three-year mourning period of Ying Guogong before getting married. Presumably, the prince of the wing will also agree. Li Ke patted his thigh and stood up, laughing, "The beauty of adults today is a good thing." The king is very happy. Later, when you come to our house, you can have a drink and get drunk. ”

"I am very obedient and thank Your Highness for your grace." Everyone thanked them together, and at the end Mrs. Yang said, "Virtuous son-in-law, there are clouds in "The Book of Rites, Qu Li", a woman is allowed to marry, and she is a word-now Zhao'er has promised to you, since you are a husband, you should marry her a table." ”

"Huh? Mrs. Yang is right. Xiao Wang was negligent for a while, but he forgot about it. Li Ke slapped his face, "Mu Bai, are you still going to answer your mother-in-law's life?" ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey ......your fate," Qin Mubai pondered for a moment, and his heart lit up and smiled slightly, "The mother-in-law is on top, and the son-in-law looks at the second lady's charming color, how about just the word 'charming'?" ”

"Wu Mei? Mei Niang? Good words, good words. Mrs. Yang suddenly smiled, "The martial family has a custom, starting from the husband's generation, the children of the descendants are all in words. From now on, Zhao'er's title will be changed to - Mei Niang! ”

"Wu Meiniang, what a name!" Li Ke laughed heartily and waved his hand, "Mu Bai, this king will go back to the house to arrange a banquet first." You just stay here and have a good chat with your mother-in-law and uncles. When the feast is ready, the king will send for you. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Li Ke walked away.

Qin Mubai was speechless for a long time. Thinking about it, today should be Li Ke's way and fall for his plan. Although it was a gentle trap and a trap of kindness, Qin Mubai's understanding of Li Ke instantly deepened several layers.

This person is only about twenty years old, but he is so smart, scheming, and does things in a disciplined manner.

Born in the royal family, people who grew up in intrigue and power tricks are really different from ordinary people.

"Son-in-law, what are you thinking?" Mrs. Yang said softly with a smile on her face. Brother Wu Yuanqing also stepped forward and bowed his hand to him together: "Brother-in-law Xian came to the door for the first time, and the foolish brother and others have lost the friendship of the landlord, please forgive me." ”

Mrs. Yang inadvertently took a few steps back, lowered her head and stood aside humbly.

Qin Mubai took this small detail to his chest, and remembered what Wu Zhao had said before, about their mother and daughter being bullied by these two brothers.

Think about it for a while.

"Two uncles, the younger brother has a suggestion, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." Qin Mubai said.

"Brother-in-law Xian, just show it." The Wu brothers bowed their hands and asked cautiously.

Qin Mubai smiled to himself and said, "Since I have made a marriage contract with Mei Niang, then our two families can be regarded as a family." The wedding date is more than a year later, and during this time, Mei Niang still has to live in Yingguo Mansion. Since she is already a member of my Qin family and my Qin Mubai's wife, I have no reason to let my mother's family support her anymore. The younger brother said that, right? ”

The Wu brothers were stunned with suspicion on their faces, and said, "What is the good brother-in-law talking about, isn't it too much to see outsiders?" ”

"Not really." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Although the younger brother has just entered the official career, he has a lot of money and land. The younger brother meant that he would give his three acres and fifty acres of land to Mei Niang, and let her have a livelihood. lest it be spread out and say that my Qin family does not know the system. The two uncles should not send their mother and daughter back to their hometown, and give the younger brother a face so that they can temporarily live in the Yingguo Mansion. I wonder what you think? ”

"Huh?!" The two Wu brothers were stunned for a moment, and they were stunned.

These things...... How did he know? Isn't this a clear indication that we are in general? He deliberately said that he would give up his land and property, and "begged" us to take them in, not that Sang scolded Huai and said that we had bullied their mother and daughter and forced us to divide the family property among him, otherwise he would definitely not give up! At such a young age, the mind is so powerful, and he insinuates quietly, and the strong guest is about to clean us up...... It's hateful, but he is the third son of the Qin family, and Li Ke supports him!

"Brother-in-law Xian is too worried, the foolish brother never thought of sending them back to his hometown!" Wu Yuanqing hurriedly said, "Not only that, Brother Yu is discussing with the second brother to set aside half of the land allocated by the imperial court and give it to his mother, so that she can raise the second and third sisters." and half of the property in the mansion of this kingdom was divided among them. It's all a family, so we should live in harmony and share wealth, haha! ”

"Really? It turns out that the eldest brother is so deeply aware of the righteousness, but the younger brother is a villain. Qin Mubai bowed his hand and smiled apologetically, "That means that today, my mother-in-law, Mei Niang and the third sister can live in the main house, instead of living in the backyard miscellaneous room?" ”

"That's nature, that's for sure!" Wu Yuanqing's forehead was covered with cold sweat, but with a smile on his face, he nodded his head frequently.

Mrs. Yang took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes wrinkled deeper, and although her expression was indifferent, there were many relieved smiles in her eyes.

This son-in-law, well done!

Wu Yuanshuang lowered his head, didn't dare to look at Qin Mubai with his eyes, and muttered in his heart: This kid surnamed Qin is amazing, he wants to capture the knife, and he hides a knife in his laughter, and the soft knife kills people without seeing blood...... I thought that after climbing a big branch, I could mix better in Chang'an, but I didn't think that this mother-in-law surnamed Yang and the two small wild seeds would have support in the future, and our brother's good life in the martial arts family was over.

"In this way, the younger brother thanked the eldest brother." Qin Mubai bowed to Wu Yuanqing with his hand, but it made him feel a heartbeat.

The flesh hurts!

This worship is really not cheap, and half of the family property is lost in vain! Hateful!

But this is not cheap, and I have to bow back.

Wu Yuanqing couldn't wait to swallow Qin Mubai alive, although his face was blue, he had to try to squeeze out a smile, pretending to be relaxed and generous to Qin Mubai in return.

Look at this family's kindness, outsiders may clap their hands and praise when they see it.

Mrs. Yang stood aside, her old face smiling, and her heart blossomed.

That's called a resentment, and it's dripping with joy! This son-in-law is not simple, he is a wonderful person!

"Virtuous son-in-law, the banquet must take some time, and I will cook a few palace snacks for you to taste." Mrs. Yang stepped forward and took Qin Mubai's hand, and asked him to sit in the right seat.

East bed Jiaoke, how can there be a lady who sits in the right position when he comes to the old man's house, this Mrs. Yang clearly intends to let Qin Mubai suppress the two brothers Yuanqing and Yuanshuang.

Qin Mubai didn't know her intentions, and she didn't excuse herself, and sat down swaggeringly.

The Wu brothers' eyes widened, and they watched Qin Mubai sit in the right seat where Li Ke had just sat in a dignified manner, swallowing saliva together, their faces red and white.

"Virtuous son-in-law, sit down for a while, and come when you go for your mother." Mrs. Yang smiled gratefully at Qin Mubai and flew away. Look at her light steps, as if she was twenty years younger in an instant.

Mrs. Yang is gone, and the Wu brothers are not easy to be stunned. I had to force a smile and sit down obediently under Qin Mubai, drink tea with him, and chat with him.

Qin Mubai laughed in his heart when he saw the two brothers who were aggrieved and dared not speak out.

A pair of villain brothers, what if they are angry, they can't make any big waves. In comparison, the Qin family is much more harmonious than this martial family.

Mrs. Yang went for a long time before she came back with a few stacks of snacks, and seeing her face full of spring breeze, her mood was really good. I'm afraid that since the death of Samurai Yan, she has never been so happy as she is today.

"The virtuous son-in-law must eat more." When Mrs. Yang said this, she looked at Qin Mubai's eyes as if she was looking at her own son.

As the saying goes, the mother-in-law feels sorry for her son-in-law, but it is sincere, which is equivalent to feeling sorry for her daughter, which is really true.

For Mrs. Yang, this son-in-law is not only distressed, but also worth relying on. In the future, they were orphaned and widowed, but they all relied on him to support them.

At this moment, Mrs. Yang had a feeling that she had grasped a life-saving straw in a desperate situation. Qin Mubai was like a shining savior to her, and she appeared too timely.

After drinking tea and eating snacks, Qin Mubai and these people really didn't have anything to talk about, so they got up and said goodbye.

Mrs. Yang and the martial brothers sent him out of the hall, and Qin Mubai invited them to stay and went out by himself.

Today's incident is really full of twists and turns, full of drama. Originally, it was two disciples who came to hunt for beauty, but they didn't succeed in a marriage.

From now on, isn't there one less Lori and one more wife?

Qin Mubai was thinking about the bad taste, and a coquettish voice came from Leng Buding's side: "Hey! ”

There is no need to look back, who else can make such a breathtaking voice like a magic bell, except for the little demon Wu Meiniang.

"What did you call me, Mei Niang?" Qin Mubai stood still, looked at her and smiled.

Wu Meiniang crossed her hands on her full chest, leaning on a dry peach tree, and seemed to breathe sharply with anger, so a pair of plump and slight ups and downs. The ditch squeezed out of the deep is seductive at the end.

"Who told you to marry me?" Wu Meiniang spread her hands and walked over in two steps. With a small mouth, he stared at Qin Mubai with wide eyes.

A woman who doesn't bind her feet looks good when she walks.

Qin Mubai innocently pursed his face and lifted his hand: "Mei Niang, I am also a victim, I was forced!" ”

"What do you say? You, you, you! ......" Wu Meiniang suddenly became angry, and pointed at Qin Mubai so angry that she jumped to her feet, "You scoundrel, you are still good if you get cheap!" Dare to marry me, do you still feel very wronged? ”

"Also, don't call me Mei Niang - my name is Zhao!"

Qin Mubai laughed. Interesting.

"Keep jumping, I'm ecstasy." His unhappy pair of eyes fell on Wu Meiniang's full chest, hugged her elbows, and said with a teasing smile: "In the future, you will be my woman." Whoever dares to bully me, tell me. I killed him to the slag as soon as possible. ”

"It's going to brag! Hum! Wu Meiniang pursed her lips angrily, turned her face away and said in an urn voice, "I don't follow the words of my parents." I don't want to marry you. ”

"You're lying." Qin Mubai smiled, "Your eyes tell me how happy you are now." Marry me, and you are very satisfied. ”

"You...... What cheeky! Wu Meiniang's face turned red all of a sudden, and she scolded angrily and funny, "I've never seen a more brazen guy than you!" Don't dream, I'm sure I won't marry you! ”

"Really?" Qin Mubai smiled disappreciatively, paced lightly with his hands on his back, and said leisurely, "But, I'm afraid I can't help you!" In my Tang Dynasty, whether it is the law or customs, it is determined that you will not marry me. Except for me, no one in the world can marry you anymore. You can't doubt that. ”

Wu Meiniang's little face trembled slightly, and she snorted sullenly and pouted and turned her face away.

Although the Tang Dynasty is open, it is still a typical patriarchal society. Both the law and secular morality allow only the man to repent of his marriage and divorce his wife. The woman is absolutely not allowed to regret the marriage contract or file for divorce. Otherwise, just like a woman who went out of the wall to steal a man and was caught raping in bed, she will be scolded by the world, and she will be punished by the law.

"But, having said that, I'd like to hear why you won't marry me?" Qin Mubai turned his words and asked.

can be regarded as asking Wu Meiniang's heart.

"After talking for a long time, this is like a human saying." Wu Meiniang snorted twice, and said in an urn voice, "Although you are from a wealthy family, you are the son of a concubine, and your official position is only seven grades. In the future, there must be more princes and nobles who want to marry me, why should I marry you? ”

"I like to have confidence." Qin Mubai smiled lightly, "Then tell me, what kind of person do you want to marry you to be qualified?" ”
