Chapter 302: People Are Old Relatives
When Tian Xing promised to marry Tian Yuanyuan to Chang'an to Wang Pu, the son of Wang Shuwen, to fill the house, Mrs. Zhu disagreed, but Tian Xing agreed to the old lady without consulting her, and she didn't dare to say anything.
After Wang Shuwen gained power, Wang Pu actually wanted to repent of his marriage, which made Wei Bozhen very angry, and some people advocated taking the initiative to send Tian Qian to Chang'an to force the Wang family to express their position.
Mrs. Zhu can't agree to this bad idea, her daughter is also from a family, and she has an innocent background, and she can't hang her face when she fills the house, and now she is even more shameless when she is rejected for marriage, and she has to put money on it and rush to give it to others, not to mention Tian Qi's little temper I don't know how much trouble she will cause, but this time she is obedient, and she can't agree, is it really that Lao Tian's family is good-tempered and easy to bully.
Knowing her daughter Mo Ruo's mother, Mrs. Zhu knows her daughter's thoughts very well, this child has a big heart since he was a child, and he will never marry a good man, give birth to a bunch of children, and teach her husband and children like ordinary women. Her heart is much bigger than that of the average man.
The person who came was called Li Mao, who Li Mao was, Mrs. Zhu didn't know, but she knew that the one who could make her daughter deign to greet her under the Yimen must be the one she could see, and there were really few such people in the whole of Hebei.
When he saw his daughter's face, he turned red, which showed that his heart was not clean and he had evil thoughts.
"Hateful bear child, saying half a little is equivalent to saying nothing."
Mrs. Zhu was angry when she thought of her youngest son, the same children, brothers and sisters are all heroes, but he also blushes when he sees a person, he is more shy than a girl, and his brain is old-fashioned, he is really angry.
Mrs. sent someone to call Tian Qingmo's maid Qingmo to ask Li Mao's origin, and when she asked, she couldn't help but be discouraged, this Li Mao is good at everything, but it's a pity that he is a married man, and his daughter is just a house-filler, after all, everything today is made by herself, but if she is asked to be a concubine, it is absolutely impossible.
Desperate for this thought, Mrs. Zhu decided to hurry up and talk to her daughter, if this girl made a mistake, it would be impossible for eight cows to pull it back. You have to do the foreshadowing.
What made Mrs. Zhu feel uneasy was that her daughter Tian Qian had already shown signs of sin, and her face was more serious than that of the prime minister, but at this moment, Fu Manfen was covered with yellow, and the simple Taoist bun had also become a complicated fallen horse bun, and the crewneck shirt she was wearing was replaced by a half-arm skirt with complex colors and gorgeous colors.
It was also rare to stay at home, not in the study, and rarely sat in front of the dresser and drew her eyebrows, pursed her lips, and hummed an unknown song that she was taught when she was a child.
"Oh no, damn Nizi."
Mrs. Zhu chuckled in her heart, they all came from this age, the little lady was in the spring, and she met someone who could subdue her.
"Ahem, cough ......," Mrs. Zhu coughed twice and walked into Tian Qi's boudoir.
"Mother." Tian Qian hurriedly stood up to greet him.
"Yo, when did I have a daughter?"
Tian Ying's makeup was too thick, and there were too many fragrant puffs, Mrs. Zhu really couldn't stand it, and while telling Qingmo to fetch water to remove her makeup, she also instructed her personal maid Xiaoling to go to her room to get another set of rouge gouache.
"There are no ugly women in this world, only lazy women who are unwilling to clean up themselves, look, my daughter is still quite peugeot, just too lazy."
Without waiting for Qingmo to come back, Mrs. Zhu began to remove her daughter's makeup, and Tian Qing's makeup really affected her mood.
"Women are the ones who please themselves, that's right, if you don't wear makeup, you can learn slowly, but some things are ...... if you step into the void"
"Mother, I have a sense of proportion." Tian Qian saw through her mother's intention and refused with a word.
"I have to remind you if you are measured, don't you don't like to listen to it, if something really happens......"
"If something happens, what can you do? Secretly eloped with him, mother, you really think highly of your daughter. If your daughter had the ability, she wouldn't have to be divorced. ”
"Nonsense! What kind of divorce? Who said that he was going to withdraw from the marriage, he just felt a little sick and pushed the wedding date back slightly. Don't come up with any other ideas. ”
"Mother, when your daughter grows up, she won't do anything insulting, you put your heart in your stomach, sit and rest with peace of mind, and your daughter has said goodbye in advance."
Before Mrs. Zhu came back to her senses, Tian Qian had already floated out like a flower and butterfly, and Qingmo was about to float, but her wings were grabbed.
"In the past two days, you have followed her inch by inch, especially to see that Li Mao, report anything to me in time, if something goes wrong, be careful of your skin."
Qingmo shuddered, and suddenly felt that his skin was so itchy.
Wei Bo since the establishment of the town in the seventh year of the calendar, has been passed down to three generations of four people, now in charge of Wei Bo's military and political power in the seven states of the festival Tian Ji'an is the grandson of Tian Chenghe, good field hunting, love extravagance, excessive wine, moody, often kill people for pleasure after drinking.
Among the many murder methods, Tian Ji'an especially likes to skin people alive, in line with the idea of having fun with everyone, Tian Ji'an will call his cronies and related people to watch every time he skins people.
As Tian Qing's personal maid, Qingmo has witnessed the tragic situation of skinning people alive more than once, and that fear is deep in her heart.
Mrs. Zhu is kind-hearted, and the so-called skinning is just a threatening word, but these two words are still scary enough.
Li Mao returned to the public office after seeing Tian Xing, and Qingmo muttered: "Just drinking, don't say anything, this Tian Xing is cunning enough, I think his gentle appearance is simply pretending." ”
Zhang Qi also felt frustrated, and drank a stomach of wine, but he just talked about the art of war poems, and didn't say a word about the important words.
Li Mao was drinking tea, and when he saw that the two of them were depressed, he smiled and said, "He is not the person in charge of the house, so naturally it is difficult to say anything." ”
Qingmo looked over and over the invitation he had just received in his hand, and asked Li Mao: "The little lady of the Tian family invites you to a banquet in the suburbs, do you go or not?" ”
Zhang Qi smiled maliciously: "Then naturally I have to go." ”
Qingmo poured a cup of hot tea on Zhang Qi's lap, and the latter quickly closed his mouth when he knew that he was speechless.
Tian Qian invited, Li Mao naturally wanted to go, but the purpose was not what Zhang Qi thought. Tian Ji'an refused to see him not because he was not in Weizhou, but because he couldn't make up his mind whether he would see him or not.
The night is long and there are many dreams, and Li Mao has to put some pressure on him.
Tian Xing is only Tian Ji'an's uncle, Tian Xing's father Tian Tingyu and Tian Ji'an's grandfather Tian Chenghei are cousins, but the political ideas of the two are completely different, Tian Chenghei advocates separating the place to protect the family's wealth. Tian Tingjue advocated the dedication of Wei Bo's seven state editions to the imperial court to end the state of local secession.
Because of the different ideas, Tian Tingyu refused Tian Chenghei's employment several times, refused to serve in the shogunate, and worked in local states and counties all his life. As far as the family style reached, Tian Xing also advocated ending the secession and returning to the imperial court.
The Tao is different, and Tian Ji'an is sure that he is suspicious of his clan uncle, especially after he takes charge of Wei Boyan's internal army.
Li Mao is now burdened with the notoriety of devouring the lord, not to mention that this kind of person will not be treated anywhere in Hebei, which is self-contained. Seeing such a person, Tian Ji'an naturally needs to be cautious.
These days, he has been waiting for the envoys of Ziqing to see what conditions Li Shidao, the new commander of Ziqing, has given him, and judging from the thickness of the conditions offered, how credible the rumors about Li Mao's devouring lord are.
This determines whether he will see Li Mao or borrow him a prisoner car to send him back to Yunzhou.
Tian Ji'an refused to see Li Mao, but Tian Xing was willing to see him, not only that, but Tian Qi, who has always been known for his resourcefulness, also asked Li Mao to go out of the city for a banquet alone, which is very intriguing.
A person who bears the notoriety of devouring the Lord is mixed with the person he suspects is going to devour, what kind of fame can he make?
In the next step, he must make some moves, either to meet Li Mao and listen to his opinions, or to drive out the Tian Xing family and send Li Mao back to Yunzhou by the way, in order to please Li Shidao.
Between the two, Li Mao bet that Tian Ji'an would choose the former, for no other reason, Tian Xing is known as virtuous in Wei Bo's army, and he controls the Yanai army, for the time being, he can't afford to offend, it is easy to kill Li Mao, there will be a lot of troubles in the future, and he does not dare to act rashly before the accounts are clear.
As for why Tian Xing was willing to get involved with Li Mao, he had his own calculations.
Li Mao went to the appointment on time, the place of appointment was outside the city of Weibo, a grange by the mountains and rivers, Wei Bo is not better than Ziqing has the benefits of sea salt, the wealth depends on farming, and because the young and strong are mostly in the army, the fields are large and barren, the income is meager, even if the wealth is not handed over to the imperial court, it is only enough for the army, and the salary of the officials of the province is meager, so they can only buy a grange, store slaves and maids, and cultivate their own food.
This grange covers an area of hundreds of tilts, surrounded by earthen walls, and there are trenches dug inside and outside the walls, and willows are planted on the edge of the ditch, and the distance looks like a green dragon surrounding. The gate of the Grange is tall and sturdy, and more than a dozen elite bankers are guarding the gate with guns and knives, and there are rangers patrolling the walls, and the rangers carry bows and arrows.
At first glance, the entire Grange looks like a military fortress.
Zhuang Ke was fierce and rude, disdainful of the invitation card presented by Qingmo, and even blocked the door and refused to let him in.
Qingmo and Zhang Qi were both anxious, and they were about to have a seizure, but Li Mao smiled slightly, held out a golden-nosed insect in his hand and said, "Please hand this thing over to Miss Qingmo, there will be a response." Zhuang Ke snorted, took the golden-nosed worm in, and when he was young, a girl with a slender figure and a floral skirt with a bird pattern came to the door.
Qingmo's eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise: "You, you are, Qingmo?" ”
The girl glanced at him and snorted, "We only met yesterday, and you are a noble person." ”
Qingmo raised his forehead with his hand and laughed at himself: "Damn, I forgot that you are a woman, tsk, this transformation is really beautiful, haha, haha." ”
The female Qingmo explained to Li Mao: "These bankers are illiterate, they can't recognize the invitations, don't be surprised if they are lazy." ”
Li Mao smiled and said, "It's okay. ”
Dismounted and entered the village, on the way, the female Qingmo stretched out her slender jade hand, held the golden-nosed insect, and sighed: "I can't imagine that after so long, you still treasure this thing, and it is not in vain that our girl invites you here." ”
Li Mao said: "Clothes are not as good as new, people are not as good as old, and the friendship between people is like old wine, which will mellow over time." ”
When the female Qingmo heard this, she snorted, didn't say anything, walked a way, and threw the golden-nosed worm back to Qingmo, and her originally smiling face suddenly became cold.
Tian Ying's skirt is added, and she has a complicated bun, which is as stunning as a fairy.
Li Mao almost didn't dare to admit it, in her memory, she always wore short clothes, behaved chicly, and was more heroic than men, but now when she sees this dress, she is beautiful, but there is something missing.
Tian Qian met Li Mao in the lobby of the Grange, and when she met him, she called Brother Maohua, her dress and manners and words did not match very well, and it was very awkward to speak, Tian Qian also realized that it was a little awkward, after a cup of tea, she went out under the pretext, and when she came in again, she had changed into a plain crewneck shirt, pulled up her hair bun, and restored her former image.
The day's banquet was dispersed in the afternoon, and the two just talked about their respective trivial matters after parting, and did not mention a word about the important points. (Dissertation College)
