Chapter 225: Knowing the Difficulties and Not Retreating
"Mother, are you looking for me?" Fang Shuwei entered the side hall, and at a glance, she saw her cousin Chen Mingbao smiling at her, Fang Shuwei nodded, and then owed to her aunt, mother, and cousin in turn.
"Wei'er, Ah Bao said, you are pulling and pulling on the street with a businessman today, but is there such a thing?" Chen Ma said first.
Fang Shuwei was stunned for a moment, glanced at Chen Mingbao, who looked apologetic, and then turned to her aunt, her eyes suddenly became firm and said: "It's true, Wei'er likes him!" ”
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Fang slapped a picture on the desk, glared at Fang Shuwei and said: "Your marriage is decided by our elders, how can you come here, in the future, you are not allowed to meet him again, you can understand!" ”
Fang Shuwei only felt that her heart sank into the ice cave, but she was still not to be outdone, looking at her mother, and opened her mouth to say: "Brother Dong and I have already made a relationship, no matter what my mother says, Wei'er will not marry him, and I hope that my mother can fulfill it!" ”
"You!" Mrs. Fang didn't expect that a very obedient baby girl would dare to contradict her!
Chen Ma's eyes narrowed, and he said to Fang Shuwei before Mrs. Fang's seizure: "Wei'er, since you like this man so much, your aunt can promise you on your mother's behalf and marry you to him." ”
"Really!" Fang Shuwei didn't expect her aunt to be so open-minded, she should have come to Xuzhou to ask her for help earlier.
"Sister!" Mrs. Fang turned her head to look at Chen Mashi, and her dissatisfaction in her eyes was undisguised.
Chen Ma didn't explain to Mrs. Fang, and the other party Shuwei bowed slightly, and said with a light smile: "When did my aunt lie to you, but after all, you are the grandson of the Ma family, no matter what the Ma family says, you can be regarded as a scholar with a head and a face in Daning, and with your conditions, you can marry a county order at the very least." Only in this way will the reputation of the Ma family not be insulted! ”
"But ......" Fang Shuwei was in a hurry after hearing this, and was about to explain Dong Ce's situation, Chen Ma had already waved her hand to signal her to shut up, and said calmly: "Aunt Lang is clear there, you don't need to explain anymore, since I promised you." There will be no objections, not for officials, and there are many ways to go, just right, there are a gang of thieves in Huangsangyu, occupying the Taoist Temple, and coercing Kun Dao, which makes your uncle a headache, if you can let him go to your uncle's account to be a staff member for a few days. Explain this matter, and after success, I will personally act as a matchmaker for you! ”
The other three people in the hall were all taken aback when they heard this.
They all know how fierce the gang of thieves in Huang Sangyu is, but only a hundred people can escape from Luzhou all the way to Xuzhou, killing more than 200 guards and village soldiers along the way, and finally they are surrounded by the guards of Dapeng Mansion and killed Huang Sangyu. With the Daogu in the auspicious cloud view, the guards did not dare to enter the mountain.
Now Dapeng Mansion's handling of this matter is waiting for the imperial court's order. The main thing is the attitude of the national teacher, after all, it is his disciple who was kidnapped, if you want to save it, then send someone to negotiate with them, and this black cauldron does not need to be carried by Dapeng Mansion, on the contrary, it is simpler. Directly attack the Taoist temple, as for the life of the Taoist aunt, you can only resign yourself to fate!
Mrs. Fang also understood that her sister wanted her daughter to retreat in difficulty, and this strategy was very useful. If she says it from her sister's mouth, it will not make the mother-daughter relationship stiff, presumably Wei'er, this girl will definitely break her mind, even if she still wants to gamble, what about Dong Ce? Not to mention whether he dares to respond, let's just say that he has the ability?
However, Fang Shuwei's reaction was greatly beyond Mrs. Fang's expectations, and she was suddenly extremely excited, and said happily: "Is what Aunt said true? If Brother Dong can really solve the thief in Huang Sangyu, can you make the decision to let me marry him? ”
"Well, the premise is not to harm the life of Kun Dao in Guanzhong!" Chen Ma added a sentence.
"Good! Then I'll go to Brother Dong now. Saying that, Fang Shuwei smiled and was about to leave, but suddenly, Mrs. Fang patted the case and snorted coldly: "What kind of body does it take for a woman to have a private meeting with a man in the middle of the night?" Besides, this is Xuzhou, not Jiangnan, go back to your room, and tomorrow I will send someone to inform him. ”
Fang Shuwei then remembered that it was forbidden to go out at night in Dapeng Mansion, and her mother didn't let her see Brother Dong again, which was undoubtedly a bucket of ice water poured down from her head, making her cold.
But thinking of Brother Dong's resourcefulness, Fang Shuwei was relieved, she just waited quietly and waited for the news of Brother Dong's triumphant return!
When Fang Shuwei left, her cousin Chen Mingbao was anxious, looked at her mother-in-law Chen Ma and said, "Mother, why did you agree to your cousin?" ”
"Go back to your room." Chen Ma's can't see this son's careful thinking, she will never agree to this, not to mention the problem of close relatives, because in these years, the world thinks that the blood of the children is to inherit the father, as long as they are not cousins and sisters, but whether it is the Ma family or the Chen family's sons, they are all martial artists, and the daughters-in-law they marry are mostly the daughters of Jiangmen, and they can only dance with knives and sticks.
And Fang Shuwei has done fast catching, and it is indispensable to do things with men, how good can that reputation be? If it is in the northwest, it is okay, because at the beginning of the founding of Daning and the Turkic war, too many men died, many women and children were captured, and at the same time, Yunzhou was also attacked by the Turks, which can be described as a two-sided attack, so that Daning, which was not stable at that time, was crumbling, Ning Taizu was angry, and ordered the frontier regardless of men, women, old and young, to die in battle, not to be humiliated, once one person reluctantly surrendered to the enemy, some of his clan were destroyed, and no one dug the ancestral grave!
The king of a country was actually forced to the point of openly digging people's ancestral graves, which shows how dangerous the situation was at that time, although this holy decree made many people dissatisfied, and even some people directly went to the Turks, but more were tempted by the reward of victory, as long as there was an enemy military head, adding officials to knighthoods, and rewarding fiefs was not a problem, so at that time, regardless of men, women, and children, as long as they could afford to hold a flat firewood knife, even if you didn't dare to start at first, but when you saw your own men, fathers, and sons, one by one, fall under the butcher's knife of the Turks, Fear will turn to anger, fear will be replaced by revenge, and the whole people will be formed!
Can Biao be fierce in troubled times, but can he be the enemy in the Taiping world? I don't know how many generals in the northwest are because of their arrogance and arrogance, and they are written to death by a pen, so Chen Mashi naturally hopes that there will be more scholars among the heirs in the next generation, especially her future grandchildren, if Fang Shuwei is allowed to raise her, what will she grow as a result, Chen Mashi can't think about it!
Early the next morning, Dong Ce was dressed neatly and was about to discuss business with a medicinal herb merchant who had been discussed yesterday, but as soon as he went out, he almost bumped into the innkeeper head-on.
"Alas, yes, I almost touched you, and it was just right for you to come out, the steward of the Chen Mansion said that he had something to talk to you about, if the two of you don't have any instructions, the villain will be busy here." The shopkeeper nodded and said.
"Chen Mansion?" When Dong Ce first arrived, he naturally didn't know about the Chen Mansion.
"What is the matter with Your Excellency looking for Dong?" Dong Ce said curiously.
The person who came was over forty years old, with a square face and short beard, wearing a robe, looking very elegant, but in fact, his temperament did not have an elegant taste at all, but a bit of a martial artist's temperament that was not angry and self-prestigious, which made Dong Ce have a very bad guess in his heart!
"You are Dong Ce?" The person who came recognized Dong Ce's feelings in a word, and said it simply, and even the etiquette was omitted.
"Exactly, I don't know if Your Excellency wants to talk to Dong about business? Or is there something else going on? Dong Ce frowned.
"Come with me." As he spoke, the middle-aged square-faced man turned around and walked downstairs.
Dong Ce was really annoyed now, but after thinking about it, since the other party could find him, his connections in Dapeng Mansion must be very strong, and he couldn't provoke him, and it would be up to him to see what tricks he was going to play, if it was yesterday, why not explain it clearly.
