Chapter 164. engagement

"Talking to you? Discuss a fart! The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker! Do you have a child to interject? ”

is really a typical patriarch of the feudal era, if his father said this to himself before the crossing, Mao Jue is quite happy, he has been single for more than 20 years, he is already hungry, but now, with Suyi and Adeliana, two best girls in one middle school and one ocean, the blessing of Qi is enough, Mao Jue is really not interested in what is not masked, even fat or thin, what if it is a big bucktooth, pockmarked face?

Even if he is beautiful and born in a scholarly family of civil officials, he has many rules and eyes! If you marry someone who can't do this or that, Shen is an example! What Mao Jue wants is to live as he wants, he doesn't want to have a harem Zhen Huan who cries, makes trouble and hangs himself.

Seeing Mao Wenlong's disdainful head resting on the cork backrest, Mao Jue was extremely sad.

"Daddy! The child is still young, didn't Huo Qubing say, why is the Hun Weiping home? Besides, plain clothes aren't very good......"

"Don't talk about the useless! There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great! That's what your father and I suffered back then! Just such a bastard! And then I got cold in the snow of the Battle of Golden State!"

"Fortunately, you kid can still fight for some anger in the past two years, otherwise you think that Shen Shikui and Chen Jisheng's old boys can be so honest, and they would have to have other thoughts a long time ago! Your lone seedling is too dangerous, you must give birth to a grandson as soon as possible!"

The spray was too urgent, and the splash was slapped by the old man, and after a sigh of relief, Mao Wenlong continued to gesture leisurely.

"Suyi, this girl is good, but her background is too low, our Mao family is an official eunuch, she can't be a side room, and the main room has to be looked down upon. Besides, why do the officials have two mouths, they have to open each other, this young lady is still your uncle Shen Guangzuo Shen Boss finally looked for you here, her grandfather is the criminal department to Chen Zanhua Chen, and is a close confidant of Wen Tiren Wen Gong of Shoufu University, and she is still from the main room, marrying her, your future career will be much easier!"

Mao Jue really didn't find out that Mao Wenlong, who was not angry and arrogant, actually had the talent to be a father and a mother, pulling his fingers, the old man analyzed everything to him for a while, and the analyzed Mao Jue's head was three points bigger, and then before he continued to speak, Mao Wenlong simply hugged his arm, leaned his head up again, closed his eyes, and slapped the board domineeringly.

"It's settled! In the past few days, you hurry up and clean up, and after this fifteenth, you will go south for Lao Tzu!"

If I say more, I'm afraid I'm going to be smoked, so I put the towel on my shoulder, and Mao Jue had to keep his mouth shut obediently.

Anyway, he is not poor now, at most he can't eat him with one more mouth, if that Miss Chen family has a wimply face and big buckteeth, he will buy a house in Jiangnan, put people there, and be out of sight and out of mind.

…………

It is very pleasant to take a warm bath in the winter, since the officer's club was built, this has not yet opened, the generals of all sizes in the Dongjiang River have come to visit, a total of three floors and 60 rooms, more than half of them live in people, the hot spring pool behind is also full of people every day, a row of entertainment rooms is also full of people, Phi Island is a bitter place, for many years, such enjoyment is really unprecedented.

"100,000 habits, confused, haha!"

Far away, you can hear this Wen Meng's excited shouting, this is an old gambler, in the past two years, Mao Jue has been trapping him in the barracks all day long, and he can only sneak around to take advantage of the rest, and a few pro-soldiers have a good time, this year, it can be regarded as making him like a fish in water, looking at the appearance of him scratching and breaking the silver, as well as the ugly faces of Li Yingyuan, Zhang Tao, and Zhao Yong at the same table, I know that this goods have won a lot.

Dan Wenmeng still has a place, no matter what the situation, as long as Mao Jue summons, he will definitely leave everything, regardless of the coming, suddenly saw Mao Jue at the door slightly waved his hand, Wen Meng immediately threw down the half-caught horse tag, turned around and was about to pass.

"Hey! Lao Wen, go there! ”

"That's it, winning money is like leaving!"

"Lao Tzu is a little something, na, these, please drink brothers!"

Casually shook off more than half of the broken silver, and Zhao Yong next to him also noticed it and followed suit.

"It's okay, it's better if he's gone! This white ghost! Brother, come on, let's keep playing!"

With a cigarette in his mouth, Dusi Zhao Cheng sat down at the card table, and the group continued to play, and things passed gently like a wave, and no one asked anything.

Mao Jue's descent to the south of the Yangtze River is a big event for Tieyi Town, and there is a great possibility of chaos without a commander in the army, and the fewer people who know it, the better.

It's been a few days since the New Year, Mao Jue seems to have found the otaku life of his previous life, this is the first time he walked out of this hot spring valley, the weather is still cold, the heat from the mouth immediately turned into a white smoke, but in the parking lot, there was already a team of Tieyi soldiers standing with guns, seeing Mao Jue coming, Mao Li, the leader of the personal soldiers who was transferred from Mao Wenlong's side, immediately opened the door of the four-wheeled carriage and welcomed Mao Jue up, and then a team of cavalry surrounded Mao Jue and went to the official road in the direction of Tieshan, and Wen Meng rode a horse to the front to hit the head.

Similar to Yizhou, Tieshan is also immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year's Festival, only the soldiers on duty at the handle checkpoint are helpless but firm to stand in the observation positions of various fortresses, after all, it is still the era of war, when Mao Jue's carriage passes, they salute one after another.

Although Mao Wenlong meant to let him go back to Mao's house to worship his ancestors and marry his relatives by the way, it was a rare opportunity, and Mao Jue had to do a few important things together, which required a lot more preparations, and Mao Jue also needed some local snakes to lead the way.

"Meet the general! Garrison Lord!"

The Iron Mountain Mine and the nearby weapon workshops were all turned into military restricted areas, and the first regiment of Wen Meng was responsible for guarding here, with this direct commander, Mao Jue was the green light all the way, and in the meeting of the two teams of patrol sentries, he took a carriage directly from the foot of the mountain to the halfway up the mountain.

It is also a small valley sheltered from the wind, and the valley is densely packed with wooden houses, which were previously locked up by those Li Dynasty routs, but these people were also absorbed by various tun farms, and the place was vacated to the Japanese coolies who Mao Jue returned from Nagasaki, in short, it was a big prison.

A maxim from Mao Jue's later life, where is the most genius? In prison!

Although the place is a little broken, but Tieyi Town is still humane, these laborers do not lack warm clothes, and they can also eat well, compared to the coolies who were captured by the Japanese army during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in later generations, I don't know how much, especially, there are cigarettes, and it is also foggy here.

Seeing that Mao Jue rarely got out of the carriage handsomely, and waved his hand in front of his nose in annoyance, Wen Meng was very discerning and shouted in a raised voice.

"Listen to the Japanese inside, my family will be gracious, and I want to choose a group of maids to serve in the hot spring valley, and those who have beautiful daughters in the family can be exempted from labor and enter the iron righteous register, in addition, if any of you have done business in Jiangnan, also stand up for Lao Tzu!"

A labor camp, which was originally still dull, boiled directly with Wen Meng's throat, and I don't know how many people spit out the cigarette butts in their mouths, and desperately squeezed to the front to raise their hands.

"I have it at home! I have it at home!"

Now the Hot Spring Valley Officers' Club is serving all the subordinates of the Governor's Mansion, and after fifteen Mao Wenlong will return to Phi Island, you can't leave the carefully built hot spring club empty, right? This kind of thing is not easy to recruit people's girls, after all, Mao Jue can't say what happens, so these widows have become the best choice.

It's really a bit like a draft in later generations, but it's a lot rougher, more than a dozen pro-soldiers are judges, the faces are round and the body is good, and the flaws are directly taken out, and the old and ugly ones are directly pushed back, and there are a lot of people who have done business in Jiangnan, and even many are simply Han people, two strokes and pulls, and five or six hundred were also selected among the ten thousand people, most of whom are the families of the maids, and there are only about fifty shopkeepers who can do business.

Although it is a short widow, but more than a hundred Loli level girls, who also saw Wen Meng's color, the evil ghost drooled, making Mao Jue turn his face like a shame, and the number selected by the clerical master in Jiangnan is about the same, Mao Jue nodded at Mao Jue, and the conscientious captain of the pro-soldier immediately shouted, blocking the crowd that was still pouring out.

But just as Mao Jue turned around to leave, a pig-like scream sounded behind him.

"General, don't go! And the small ones! ”

The voice is really a little familiar, looking back at the past in amazement, Mao Jue suddenly itched the root of his teeth, squeezed on the edge of the fence, the meat on his body was almost squeezed into sausages, and a fat man jumped up and down and cried wolf endlessly, wasn't it the night of the Nagasaki riots, which caused the Ming army to get involved inexplicably and lose more than ten watermelons?

"Didn't Lao Tzu order you to be thrown into the sea to feed the fish?"

Seeing that the general of the Ming Kingdom turned back with an unkind face, one by one the ghost-like townspeople dispersed in a hula, revealing the watermelon, which was still full of flattering smiling faces there, and the words of the cold Ding Mao Jue came out, almost scaring his soul.

But I really can't stand the life of the coolies who are mining in the underground every day, and this thing is kneeling on the ground and banging his fat head desperately on the stone.

"Master Mingguo, aren't you going to do business in Jiangnan? The small shop is perennial tea and silk, all over the south of the Yangtze River is clear, the small one in the south of the Yangtze River and the same sect, the old man told that any small one can be done, give the small one a chance! ”

Mao Jue opened his mouth and wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back, this product is an absolute money obsession, but it is indeed a clever environment, he can actually use his Ming army as a kind of capital, to blackmail other Nagasaki merchants, bring him, maybe it may really be useful, as soon as the thought turned, Mao Jue waved his hand.

"Take him and his family with you!"

"Thank you, Master!"

It's not that a family doesn't enter a door, this is as fat as a watermelon, his family is about the same, the two wives are all succulents, and the three who don't know whether their son or daughter are also fat balls, no wonder the maid was not selected, seeing that the ball family was also out of this cage, the widows behind suddenly made a commotion again, but unfortunately, this time, whether it was a girl screaming or an old fan shouting, Mao Jue never looked back.
