Chapter 222 Climbing the Dragon and Attaching the Phoenix
Xuzhou, Xiapi, Mifu.
"Brother, big brother!"
A loud voice of excitement came from the doorway, causing the servants to retreat, especially those with their hands in their hands. They can't be more familiar with this voice, the second master of the Mi family, the famous demon king of the mixed world, whoever gets involved is unlucky.
Recently, the fun of the second master has shifted away from fighting horses and dogs, spending all day and drinking, and instead likes to rampage in the house. Every time it starts with a call to the master, and then, he is like a bull who is excited to see a cow, and he rushes into the house with red eyes, catching whatever he hits, and moving forward.
The only thing to be thankful for is that every time he enters this state, the second master will become very focused, whether it is being splashed with soup or rubbing a body of charcoal, he doesn't care, but continues to run to the master's study without turning a blind eye.
Hearing the familiar shout again, the servants naturally did not dare to slack off, and they all brushed their bodies against the wall, and raised the objects in their hands high, like well-trained honor guards.
Immediately, a gust of wind swept through the two columns of honor guards, blowing open the door of the study, and the door panel slammed against the wall with a loud bang.
"Zifang, do you remember what your father expected when he gave you the watchword?" Mi Zhu put down the brush in his hand, frowned and reprimanded: "The way of a gentleman, you should be upright, now you are not a young man, how can you act so recklessly and recklessly, and still don't close the door?" ”
"Okay, big brother, you want to teach me a lesson, and I'll wait until I hear the news."
Mi Fang shook her head nonchalantly, took her brother's words as the wind in her ears, and gasped and said, "Tai, Taishan has news, guess what?" ”
"So fast?" Mi Zhu's face was slightly moved, and when he sat up straight, the sleeves of his robe trembled violently, and when he raised his eyes to look at his younger brother, his eyes were full of shock.
"Faster than you think!"
Mi Fang stretched out a finger with a look of glory and dignity. "One day, no, one night!" The winner was decided in one night, and as soon as Taishan's army came out of the city gate, hundreds of thousands of yellow scarves ran away. Descend of fall. What is a True Hero? That's it! ”
“…… Could it be that what spell did the prince use? Mi Zhu was stunned for a moment and slowly sat down.
The news was incredible, but Mi Zhu didn't doubt it. Since he returned from his mission to Taishan and told his younger brother what Taishan had seen, Mi Fang has devoted himself to the battle of Fenggao.
Although the younger brother is not successful, he knows many friends who are crooked, and some of them are inextricably linked to Langya. Langya's attention to Qingzhou and Mount Tai is even higher than that of Xuzhou, and the news obtained from there will not be wrong.
"No!" Mi Fang replied as she turned around and closed the door.
Mi Fang focused on the Battle of Mount Tai, and Mi Zhu was not idle, he studied Wang Yu's past experience. Taking advantage of the convenience of the building near the water, even before Wang Yu became famous, his experience in Taishan's hometown was turned out by him.
The more you study. The more frightened he became.
Before becoming famous, Wang Yu was a very mysterious figure. With the status of Wangjia Taishan County, in the entire Fenggao City, few people have seen Wang Gongzi.
The family backgrounds of the Taishan Wang family and the Mi family of the East China Sea are very close, and they are all minor officials from the ancestors. With the accumulation of his ancestors, he has become a local tycoon after 100 years of operation.
Although such nouveau riche cannot be seen by wealthy families, they still have some status and prestige in the local area. Even if you don't go out, there are always people who come to visit. What's so hard about meeting each other?
But in Fenggaocheng, there are very few people who have seen Wang Gongzi, which greatly enhances his sense of mystery.
Mi Zhu's guess is quite similar to Jia Xu's, he also thinks that Wang Yu was cultivating in his early years, as for being timid or something, it is likely that he pretended to be a trick!
Kun is in the abyss, once it turns into Peng, if it doesn't sound, it's just a blockbuster!
That's right, it's the routine.
With such a preconceived judgment, Mi Zhu effortlessly guessed Wang Yu's means.
"The yellow scarf over there in Laiwu has also fallen, and Qingzhou is just around the corner," Turning around, Mi Fang rubbed her hands excitedly, and asked eagerly: "Big brother, is it time to put Zhen'er's matter on the agenda?" If you don't have time, how about I go to Mount Tai? ”
"Mess around!"
Mi Zhu turned his face and reprimanded: "Marriage is a big event, and there are etiquette rules, how can there be a reason for the woman to take the initiative to come to the door to propose marriage?" Besides, whether the prince and the prince mean this or not, it is not yet known, it is all your wishful thinking, if you guess wrong, wouldn't it be embarrassing for both families, inappropriate, inappropriate. ”
"Big brother, you're thinking too much, aren't you?" Mi Fang shook her head disapprerovingly, stared at her brother directly, and asked, "The prince personally said that he wanted to visit him on a certain day, right?" ”
Mi Zhu couldn't stir him, so he had to nod.
"Who is the prince? The champion of the Han Dynasty, Hou, was a hussar general, sitting on the land of a state, and there were countless tigers under his command! What about our family? The East China Sea is hugely rich? Got a fart? Counting Xuzhou, how many are looking at us? Poor sour Chen Yuanlong? Divine Stick Fusion? Or Zhao Yu, Zhang Zhao, and Xiao Jian? ”
The more Mi Fang spoke, the more energetic she became, her hands dancing, and the spit stars splashed Mi Zhu's face.
"Nope! When these people look at our family, they are all squinting, the last time the Chen family came to propose, I thought that Chen Yuanlong's kid had finally opened his mind, but as a result, he actually wanted Zhen'er to be small! Or the concubine of the ninth room! Is it tolerable or intolerable? ”
"Okay, okay, what are you doing with all these old things?" Mi Zhu knew the knot in his precious brother's heart, he wiped his face, and gently persuaded: "Say the right thing, say the right thing." ”
The trench between the family and the Hanmen was huge, and Mi Zhu had a clear understanding of this, so when Tao Qian assigned him the opportunity to send Taishan, he would rather pay for the food himself than take the risk.
"I just can't get angry......"
Mi Fang hummed dissatisfiedly for a while, and then turned back to the previous topic: "Even these hillbillies in Xuzhou look down on us, what do you want to do with the identity of Wang Junhou?" Isn't it Zhen'er? Wang Junhou was proud
, like Huo Hussar back then, he also has a reputation for romance, and the only one in our family who can do it is Zhen'er. ”
"Not necessarily." Mi Zhu shook his head noncommittally.
"Big brother, you mean the prince...... Want money? "Mi Fang is not stupid, although the sister is beautiful, but the Mi family is more famous for being rich, and the brother's concerns are indeed reasonable.
"On the same day, the yellow scarves broke through Linzi, and all the civil and military forces in the tent changed color. The only prince is not surprised, and he talks and laughs freely......"
Mi Zhu was deeply impressed by the scene at that time, and while recalling the details at that time, he said slowly: "I've been thinking about it afterwards, it's not just a matter of bearing. But the prince has already been successful. Sub-square. After the great victory, how did the prince behave? ”
"Uh," Mi Fang paused, then scratched the back of her head. replied: "Laiwu is dredging the mound and the cailu, and the iliac retort is resistant to swallowing, and the stool is playing tricks and tricks?
Although others are reckless, they have a good memory. Gather together the information obtained from several quarters and bring it together one by one.
"Zifang, can't you see it yet? The prince had no intention of expanding immediately, but wanted to recuperate in Qingzhou. His background is similar to that of you and me, and he has no view of the door, maybe he just wants to recruit someone as an official; Or they are worried about the lack of money and food, and want to get some help from my family; Or just plain politeness. ”
Mi Zhu sighed and said, "What I thought at the time was similar to yours, but the more I learned." The more I feel that something is wrong. Wang Junhou is an ambitious person, how can he take beauty to heart? ”
"That's hard to say, isn't that what people outside say?"
Brother's words were like a basin of ice water pouring over his head, and most of Mi Fang's enthusiasm was extinguished at once, but. He is also a stubborn character, only to hear him mutter: "Besides, it's all small anyway, why not marry Wang Junhou." Needless to say, such a heroic sister-in-law is quite old. I can't find it even with a lantern. ”
"Oh, Zifang, what does Brother Rang say about you?"
Mi Zhu pointed at his younger brother with a crying and laughing expression: "Don't you understand it now?" I mean, other princes may not look down on our family at all! If you will be wrong and your door-to-door proposal will be rejected, how will you let Zhen'er behave in the future? Even if it is for the sake of money and food, I reluctantly agreed, do you want to let Zhen'er stay alone? ”
Mi Fang was dumbfounded, "How can you not look down on it, didn't he accept a singer in Luoyang?" ”
"Is that just a normal singer?"
Mi Zhu hated iron and said with no steel: "For that singer, Lu Wenhou and Wang Junhou fought a bloody battle on the long street, and the killing and injury were not counted, and then they rebelled out of the Xiliang Army!" What does it mean to be alluring to the country and the city? That's it! Zhen'er is talented and good-looking, and has a good reputation in Xuzhou, may she be compared with the two around Junhou? ”
"Think about it again, Cai Zhonglang's daughter hasn't even passed the door yet, you will go to the door to propose marriage now, and where will Cai Zhonglang be placed? If you want to climb the prince, how easy is it, not to mention, Zhen'er, Zhen'er, alas! ”
Mi Zhu sighed again: "You don't know Zhen'er's temper, she is usually soft and weak, but she has a stubborn temperament, if you know that we are like this...... I don't know what kind of mess is going to happen. ”
"So, what now?" The dream fell through, and Mi Fang was completely dumbfounded.
Mi Zhu stalled his hands: "What else can I do?" Wait, if there is really that blessing......"
Regarding all these things, these days also plague Mi Zhu, he only has a general idea now, far from mature. I wanted to discuss it with my younger brother to improve it, but before he could organize the language in his stomach, suddenly, a crisp sound came from outside the door.
"Smack!" A plate, a few bowls, shattered all over the ground in the cold wind.
"Who?" Hearing the sound outside, Mi Zhu shouted angrily.
The Mi family has no status in the officialdom, but it is a pivotal role in the shopping mall, and the most afraid of doing business is leaking the news, and the business intelligence is stolen by the opponent.
When their brothers were discussing confidential topics, except for a few henchmen, the other stewards were not qualified to participate at all, and ordinary people were strictly forbidden to come within twenty steps of the study.
Therefore, all the secret discussions of the Mi family, outsiders have no chance to eavesdrop, let alone the mistake of breaking the vessel in fright.
No one responded outside the study, only a howling cold wind swept through the door.
"Who's out there, get in here!"
Mi Fang was much more impulsive than his brother, and he jumped to the door with one arrow step, pushing the door with one hand, and pressing the handle of the knife on his waist with the other. His martial arts are not very good, but he has often fought since he was a child, and his experience is also extremely rich, and it is no problem to deal with the siege of three or five ordinary people.
"Master, second master, it's a slave maid...... a weak voice sounded, and the Mi brothers recognized it as the maid Cui'er beside her sister.
"Cui'er, why are you here?" Mi Fang pushed open the door, and Mi Zhu also stood up.
"Back to the master, slave maid, no, it was the young lady who heard that the second master was back, so I went to the kitchen with the slave maid and brought some ginseng soup!" The little girl was very timid, holding back the tears in her eyes, and replied in a trembling voice.
"Slave maid, young lady and slave maid have just arrived here, and then young lady takes the ginseng soup from the slave maid and prepares to enter the door herself. Then, and then the slave saw the tray, and the tray fell from the lady's hand to the ground, and then, and then the lady ran away crying! Cui'er's voice was intermittent, but it was like a needle, stabbing the two big men without embarrassment.
In an instant, the gloom on Mi Zhu's face disappeared, leaving only deep tiredness, weighing the pros and cons and considering the family business, but he didn't expect what kind of impact these words would have on his sister who was soft and strong.
He waved his hand and commanded in a low voice: "You go down, accompany the young lady well, tell her, and I will go to see her when I turn back." ”
"Yes." Cui'er squatted down and left, leaving the two brothers looking at each other.
"Big brother, this ......"
"That's it, I'll go to see Tao Envoy Jun tomorrow, Wang Junhou is victorious, and it is impossible for Xuzhou to ignore it, and I will go to Mount Tai again."
