Chapter 187、I also hope that this is my own overthinking
Since Yu Rong set out to hunt, Marriott has returned to Wanjiazhuang.
Although Yu Rong did not rush Marriott to leave before leaving, from Yu Rong's action, Marriott also knew that his goal had been achieved, so he naturally would not stay in Yuzhou for Yu Rong to continue to handle. Fortunately, Yu Rong did not have the idea of leaving Marriott behind, and Marriott did not dare to wait for the news of Yu Rong's return from hunting in Yuzhou.
Because whether Yu Rong's "hunt" is successful or not, it is not a good thing for Marriott.
Yu Rong's "hunting" was successful, and Marriott was inevitably killed by Yu Rong's unloading. And if Yu Rong's "hunting" fails, Marrail will not escape being held accountable by Yu Rongqian.
Finally returned to Wanjiazhuang, and after meeting Wanda once, Marriott honestly hid in the study. Because it was precisely because of this outing that Marriott knew what a book was when it was used.
"Those who have years in the past will have more than ......"
Holding a book in one hand and a half-naked Bao Sanniang in the other, pinching her chest in her arms, Marriott can't just stare at "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names" like those who have never read books. In order to increase his experience, Marriott knew that the only way to strengthen himself was to read books without being able to meet too many outsiders.
The mood fluctuated with the kneading of Marriott's hands, and the chest also flickered left and right with the kneading of Marriott, and after listening to Marriott's reading for a while, Bao Sanniang smiled in Marriott's arms: "Young master, why are you still reading these dead books!" Seeing that you came back this time, the lord and the gentleman praised you a lot! ”
"What's the use of boasting, I didn't make any real achievements, but I was also picked by Yizhi County for a young lady, and Yu Rong was also frightened back by Mu Yan's ghostly spirit."
"This is also something that can't be helped, who would have thought that Mu Yan would be so decisive and quietly gather an army of 10,000. Fortunately, Yu Rong reacted quickly enough, otherwise he would have been touched by Mu Yan. ”
"I don't think Mu Yan really dares to touch Yu Rong's hunting camp again."
Although he returned to Wanjiazhuang, the news about Xingcheng County was still reaching the ears of Marriott one after another. Knowing that Yu Rong had been scared away by Mu Yan with an army of 10,000, Yi Huan had already set off for the capital, although the rest of Wanjiazhuang didn't feel much, Marriott felt a kind of irritability in his heart, as if something was going to happen.
No matter what Marriott was thinking, Bao Sanniang said with a smile on her face: "Giggles, young master, what are you talking about!" Mu Yan didn't dare to touch Yu Rong's hunting camp, could he still come to touch our Wanjiazhuang? ”
"Touching Wanjiazhuang? Oh no, I'm going to find Daddy. ”
Suddenly pushed into Wanhao's arms, Bao Sanniang said with a stunned face: "Young master, what are you in a hurry here?" Does the young master really think that Mu Yan will come to touch our Wanjiazhuang? ”
"Otherwise, does Sanniang think that 10,000 soldiers and horses are really needed to suppress bandits? Perhaps it is not uncommon to use 10,000 soldiers and horses to chase down the Perineum Mountain Hulu, which has thousands of people. But in a hurry, how could Mu Yan gather 10,000 soldiers and horses so quickly? ”
"What's impossible about this, in order to prevent Yu Rong from sneaking up on Shenzhou, of course Mu Yan has to prepare early!"
I don't know how Marriott thought that Mu Yan might attack Wanjiazhuang, and Bao Sanniang was a little unbelievable when he was worried.
Marriott said eagerly while sorting out the clothes that had been messed up by Bao Sanniang before: "Preparing early is preparing early, but preparing soldiers and horses and preparing grain and grass are two different things." Now we know that Mu Yan's 10,000 soldiers and horses have disappeared for a full week. If it was just for the purpose of suppressing bandits, would Mu Yan need to travel with so much grain and grass? ”。
"Since Mu Yan hasn't returned to Shenzhou yet, he must have come to Wanjiazhuang."
"This, young master, don't be too smart, don't you know that saying this will frighten Sanniang?"
"I also hope it's my own overthinking."
When Marriott finished speaking, not only did Bao Sanniang show a look of panic, but Marriott who rushed out of the study also had a bitter face. …,
Compared with Wanfu in Xingcheng County, the area of Wanjiazhuang is farther away. But in addition to the large area, the rest of Wanjiazhuang is much worse than Wanfu. For example, the road from the study to the flower hall is not only covered by a covered bridge, but the bluestone slabs paving on the ground are as rough as they are.
Not to mention the location of the study, which is not only far away from the flower hall and inner courtyard, but also close to the servant's room where the subordinates live.
Seeing Marriott and Bao Sanniang running in the direction of the flower hall all the way, not only were the subordinates of Wanjiazhuang full of surprise and envy, but even looked at the two jade rabbits swaying on Bao Sanniang's chest, and many manservants also faintly showed a jealous look in their eyes.
"Daddy, Daddy......"
Not only in Wanjiazhuang, but even in Wanfu in Xingcheng County, Marriott does not need to report in advance if he wants to find Wanda households anywhere.
It's just that after rushing into the flower hall, Marriott didn't see Wan Dahu's figure, but the old man Qinghao, who was called "Mr." by Wan Dahu, was there slowly.
After Marriott was stunned for a moment, the old man Qinghao looked at the long line of jade pendants flying out from the hem of Marriott's clothes, and even looked at Yun Sanniang's scattered sideburns who followed Marriott: "Wan Gongzi, what makes Gongzi so anxious, he doesn't have time to tidy up his clothes." ”
For the Qinghao old man who suddenly appeared in Wanjiazhuang, Marriott has always had a kind of fear of war. This is not only because Marriott doesn't know the exact origin of the old man Qinghao, but also doubts how the old man Qinghao got the trust of Wan Dahu, and even Bao Sanniang and others.
It seems that Marriott himself has not seen anything trustworthy about the old man Qinghao yet, so naturally he will not ask the exact origin of the old man Qinghao, and he does not think that he can get a real answer.
Therefore, in the face of the old man's question, Marriott only nodded slightly and said, "Mr. is fine, does Mr. know where the late father has gone?" ”。
"It turns out that the son wants to find Master Wan, and Master Wan said that he went to the fifth aunt in the West Chamber."
"Thank you, sir."
Still said a word respectfully, and left the flower hall backwards, and Marriott left quickly.
Although everyone knows that it is not strange to be polite, being too polite is also tantamount to a deliberate rustiness. Looking at the back of Marriott flashing out of the flower hall, the old man shook his head and said, "Sanniang, where is Wan Gongzi playing?" ”
Bao Sanniang also knew that Marriott did not trust the old man Qinghao, shook his head and smiled: "Sir, don't blame the young master, if it weren't for the fact that the young master was unwilling to show his identity and talent in front of the young master, how could the young master be so wary of the young master." But when it comes to why the young master is like this today, it was the young master who had a sudden idea before. ”
Sudden thoughts? Was it just a sudden thought?
As Bao Sanniang told Marriott's inferences one by one, the eyes of the old man couldn't help but light up.
Perhaps many people can see from Mu Yan's actions of leading troops to suppress bandits that he intends to deter Yu Rong, but not everyone can find his hidden thoughts from Mu Yan's preparation of grain and grass.
Knowing that now is not the time to praise Marriott, Master Qinghao immediately stood up from his chair and said, "Sanniang, the young master's inference does have some truth, let's go to the master's side to have a look!" ”
"What? Does Mr. also think that Mu Yan is likely to attack Wanjiazhuang? ”。
I didn't expect the old man to have such a reaction, and in surprise, Bao Sanniang also had some faint admiration for Marriott. Because although Marriott has not made any big gains so far, it has proved that Marriott's insight is not low in many ways. At least what Marriott can think of, many Bao Sanniang can't think of herself.
"Maybe Mu Yan may not attack Wanjiazhuang, but if he really finds Wanjiazhuang for Mu Yan, he will definitely send troops to test it."
As the old man walked out of the flower hall, a few words popped out of his mouth. …,
Catching up with the footsteps of the old man Qingmiao, Bao Sanniang asked, "Temptation? Why is it a temptation? ”
"Sanniang, just think about it, who is Mu Yan's real enemy? Looking at Wanjiazhuang's defense, it is strange that he is really willing to waste his troops in such a place. If he really does this, let's wait and see how Yu Rong occupies Shenzhou! ”
Listening to the old man talking to himself confidently, Bao Sanniang didn't say anything more, and the two chased the direction where Marriott disappeared and rushed towards the West Chamber.
Since Wanjiazhuang is mainly used to prepare for war, although Wanjiazhuang also has an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard, almost all the subordinates live in the inner courtyard. The outer courtyard is reserved for those who specialize in fighting, but there are not many rules for entering and leaving.
In order to save accommodation, the West Chamber has a total of five aunts and six aunts, which is also the arrangement of the third aunt Fangcui and the seventh aunt Liu Hong after they ran away, in order to take care of each other.
It is not for nothing that Wan Dahu will run to the West Chamber at this time, not because of how popular the fifth aunt is, but because the old tree has new branches, and the fifth aunt is actually pregnant here. So Wan Dahu is not so much to see his own woman, but to see his unborn child.
And after being inspected by the old man Qinghao, the fifth aunt seems to be pregnant with a dragon and phoenix fetus, which makes Wan Dahu even more worried.
When he came to the outside of the West Chamber, Marriott saw two maids standing in front of the door, and he was not in a hurry to break in, Marriott asked directly: "Is the master inside?" ”。
"Back to the young master, the master is talking to the two aunts inside!" The two maids bowed respectfully to Marriott.
In another place, Marriott may not have to know the rules so well. But after knowing that Wan Dahu finally had a child again, and he finally wanted to add a pair of younger brothers and sisters, Marriott would not be too reckless in the West Chamber. Because if Marriott can really add a younger brother, presumably Wan Dahu will not be so strict with him, and many things that he can't do, dare not do, and are not allowed to do before will no longer be obstacles.
Just thinking of this, Marriott patted his head again, because now not only is Wandahu again, but the identity of Wandahu is also very different.
is no longer a big family in the world, but a rebel household.
Rebellion can be done, what can't be done, and what needs to be scrupulous.
As for whether Marriott will worry about having another brother, the family property will not be divided in the future. But this kind of thing may have been very important in the past, but now, after repeated confrontations with Jiao Xuan and Yu Rong, Marriott is no longer rare to sit back and enjoy it.
And with the current situation of tens of thousands of large households, it is difficult to say what property they can leave in ......the future.
