Chapter 137: Ridiculous
The capital of Qiufu.
On the stone pavement of the deep courtyard, Qiu Zhuang, who sat on the elegant pavilion, stared at and fiddled with a bottle of teacup in front of the stone table, and hesitated about the marriage between the Qiu family and the Mu family.
Qiu Jingcheng stood on the side, looking at Qiu Zhuang with thoughtful eyes, this family affair between the Qiu family and the Mu family must be canceled, and the difficulty is how to say it.
Now it is the Qiu family who wants to withdraw from their relatives, in this complicated place of the capital, it is difficult to guarantee that those idlers will not have any troubles, if they don't make it clear to the Mu family, they will retreat from their relatives arrogantly. When this news came out, people who didn't know the inside story would think that the Qiu family didn't keep their promises.
But if the reason for the resignation is explained to the Mu family, outsiders inadvertently know the truth, and for the Mu family, the Mu family's family history will be implicated, even the popular Qiu family will become the laughing stock of those idlers, which will also damage the prestige of the Qiu family.
Qiu Jingcheng pondered for a long time, looking at Qiu Zhuang's eyes full of helplessness, and he had to be absent-minded, looking at the deep pond not far from the pavilion to hide his depression.
Just when the two of them were bored, even if they didn't even care about a maid walking quickly outside the pavilion.
Until a crisp voice lingered in the ears of the two, "Master, the master of the Mu family brought Miss Mu family here, saying that he had something important to discuss with the master." ”
When Qiu Zhu'an and Qiu Jingcheng heard this, they looked at each other, and in their hearts, it was self-evident, but they were also deeply angry, this Mu Ling'er actually dared to enter the Qiu Mansion.
However, it doesn't matter if the people of the Mu family come, make it clear in the Qiu Mansion on this matter, the people of the Qiu family will definitely keep silent, as long as the Mu family does not threaten at will outside and does not deliberately smear the Qiu family, then the two families will be fine.
"Oh? Did the old man of the Mu family say what he came to do? Qiu Zhu'an pretended to be deep and said this indifferently.
Qiu Zhuang's sound fell, and the maid was already deeply stunned, in the past, everyone from the Mu family entered the house directly and brought it to the master.
But right now, for some reason, the old man of the Mu family has to ask someone to come and ask for instructions, looking at the look of the old man Mu, it seems that he has a request for the master, and then looks at his own master, the eyes are awe-inspiring, and the tone seems to be unkind to the old man of the Mu family, no, it will definitely not be unkind, but at least it is a look of boredom.
Seeing that the maid was stunned for a while, Qiu Jingcheng also pretended to 'cough cough' and fell, as a sign that the maid was sober.
When the maid heard Steward Qiu's voice, she also came to her senses and said, "Back to the master, it is related to the marriage between the young master and Miss Mu, and the old man Mu said that he wants to discuss with you, not only the master of the Mu family is here, but even the young lady of the Mu family, Mu..."
Before the maid's words fell, Qiu Jingcheng peeked at Qiu Zhu's dark expression, and also fell with an awe-inspiring voice: "In this case, knowing that the master is here, why don't you bring the two of them here?" ”
"The slave maid has brought the master of the Mu family here, and it is in the deep pond opposite." The maid also stared at the deep pond not far away, and Qiu Zhuang and Qiu Jingcheng also looked at it, but saw the shadows of the two people.
The maid also fell helplessly, and said: "Master, you have ordered before, as long as the people of the Mu family come to the house, they can directly enter the house and bring you to come, but this time, the master of the Mu family said that he brought his own daughter, and he had to come and greet you, and with your consent, the two of them came." ”
Qiu Zhu'an was originally deeply depressed when he thought of the Mu family's marriage, and at this time, he was also angry when he heard that Mu Ling'er had also come to the house.
Qiu Zhu'an and Qiu Jingcheng are also between each other, looking at each other, they all understand, it goes without saying that Mu Ling'er actually dared to come to Qiu Mansion, which is really ridiculous.
"Invite them to come, I will meet this future daughter-in-law again." At this time, Qiu Zhuang had no intention of dealing with the people of the Mu family, and he also fell this voice deeply, turned around indifferently, and sat on the bluestone bench.
The maid listened to her master's deep voice, and she was also stunned, and just wanted to open her mouth to say something, but was reprimanded by Steward Qiu.
"Don't go yet, invite them."
The maid raised her feet and walked towards the deep pond, also thinking secretly: What's the matter, just before she finished her words, the old man seemed to regard this Mu Yuesu as the young lady Mu Ling'er who married the Mu family. That's not right, the young master's admiration for Mu Ling'er of the Mu family is obvious to all, this family business is still proposed by the master, and on weekdays, he also likes Mu Ling'er a lot, but now, he is indifferent and alienated, and even angry.
The two people in front of her, Mu Linsheng and Mu Yuesu, also talked happily, they looked like a father and a son, but they felt that something was wrong, by the way, Mu Ling'er and the Mu family didn't get along so warmly, in the end, they were concubines, but the difference between them was too big, right?
The maid also shook off her inexplicable thoughts, pretending to smile, and walked in front of the Mu family's master, Mu Yuesu: "Mu family's master, Miss Mu, let you wait for a long time, our family master is invited." ”
Mu Linsheng and Mu Yuesu only nodded in a pretended gesture and followed behind the maid.
Qiu Zhu'an turned his back to Mu Linsheng and Mu Yuesu who came over, and pretended to fall in a chic voice: "This day of marriage has not yet arrived, how can the master of the Mu family have the heart to bring Miss Mu family to come with him, isn't it..."
Qiu Zhu'an turned his head indifferently, but was stunned by the scene in front of him, Qiu Jingcheng was the same, the two of them saw that it was Mu Yuesu, the eldest lady of the Mu family, and the tired face calmed down a little.
Qiu Jingcheng pulled the maid over, and fell down with a low roar: "Didn't you say that it was Miss Mu Jiamu?" How is Mu Yuesu of the Mu family? ”
"What I want to say is Miss Mu Jia, Mu Yuesu, but Steward Qiu, you don't listen, you still murder me, let me invite them quickly." The maid also retorted, and the further back it went, the quieter it became.
"Okay, it's none of your business here, you can go down first." Qiu Jingcheng knew that this was his sake, and the matter had come to this point, so he couldn't say anything, and waved his hand to the maid as a gesture.
"I wonder if my father and daughter came to disturb my in-laws?" That Mu Linsheng pretended to fall indifferently, although he didn't know what the reason was, it must have something to do with the arrival of the two of them.
"As long as it's not Mu Ling'er, it's fine." Qiu Jingcheng may have been too angry, and actually muttered this softly in secret.
That Qiu Zhu'an secretly took a deep breath when he saw that it was not Mu Ling'er, even if he was going to withdraw from his relatives at this time, but if he saw Mu Ling'er, he would still be uncontrollable and angry, but when he heard the word 'in-laws', his face darkened.
Qiu Zhuang heard Steward Qiu's indifferent voice, and before he understood the intention of the two of them, he also pretended to fall loudly, covering up Qiu Jingcheng's muttering: "How can Master Mu be disturbed when he comes?" I wonder what you came here for? ”
Qiu Zhu'an fell indifferently, because of Mu Ling'er's matter, he didn't care about the purpose of these two people's coming, but also looked at Mu Linsheng indifferently, and saw Mu Linsheng's hesitant appearance, and the shyness that swept through the depths of Mu Yuesu's eyes, Qiu Zhu'an and Qiu Jingcheng glanced at each other, and suddenly, they were deeply interested in it.
"That's the case, it's about the family affairs of Qiu's nephew and the little daughter Mu Ling'er..."Mu Linsheng didn't know how to continue.
If this matter is said, if it is done, it is fine, if it is not, I am afraid that the Qiu Mansion will look down on the Mu family, but if this matter is not resolved, he still has to guard against Mu Ling'er day and night, Mu Ling'er is a concubine after all, and he has not been in the Mu Mansion for a long time, he really doesn't like this daughter, if she is the head mother of the Qiu family, how can she be as good as the Mu family?
"Master Mu, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Qiu Zhuang also pretended to speak softly, which sounded like a soothing, but in fact he didn't think so.
Mu Linsheng heard this sound falling, and his heart was also stunned, but it was only for a moment, although he didn't know where he went wrong, he was relieved to hear Qiu Zhuang's soft words.
"In this case, I will say it bluntly, Mu Fu wants to cancel this family affair between Qiu nephew and Mu Ling'er..."Mu Linsheng's voice did not fall, and the depths of Qiu Zhu'ang and Qiu Jingcheng's two pairs of eyes were also filled with surprise, although there was a trace of waves, in the eyes of these two outsiders, it was shock and anger.
Mu Linsheng also spoke softly, and the lobbying fell: "This is another daughter Mu Yuesu in the next place, Master Qiu, you must know, the same age as Qiu's nephew, I want to marry my beloved daughter to Qiu's nephew, I don't know what you think?" ”
"I wonder if your other daughter knows about this?" Qiu Zhuang also pretended to fall this sound deeply.
Mu Linsheng and Mu Yuesu glanced at each other, it was self-evident, it seemed that the master of the Qiu family still recognized Mu Ling'er, but he felt that there was something wrong with Qiu Zhu'an's words, but he couldn't find the reason, so he had to make his own reverie in his heart.
"Since ancient times, the marriage of children has been ordered by their parents and the words of the matchmaker, I think that at the beginning, this family affair was mentioned by the Qiu family, but now it is just a change of candidate, Mu Linger and the little girl Mu Yuesu are slightly inferior to each other, and Ziyu will definitely form a happy relationship." Mu Linsheng also pretended to be relaxed, as if this matter was just a transaction in the market.
Qiu Zhu'an and Qiu Jingcheng also looked at each other, both helplessly, what is this, Mu Ling'er's behavior is absurd, however, Mu Linsheng's side actually treats such a big thing as child's play, which is really ridiculous, worthy of being a father and daughter.
At the beginning, Qiu Zhuang knew that Qiu Ziyu and Mu Ling'er were two childhood sweethearts, and they had no guesses, so they mentioned family affairs to the Mu family and named Mu Ling'er.
Although this matter is the order of his parents, the words of the matchmaker, this family matter is mentioned by him, but it is approved by Qiu Ziyu, if it is not approved by Qiu Ziyu, I am afraid that in terms of Qiu Ziyu's temperament, it will definitely be a restless house, but who knows that in the end it will still be a farce after all.
"According to what you said, Mu Ling'er and Qiu Ziyu's family affair is canceled." Qiu Zhuang also shouted and fell, and the depths of his eyes pretended to be helpless.
