Chapter Eighty-Five: Death
Mu Mingshu was only surprised at first glance, since she and Zhao Yiyi retreated, there were very few people who asked for marriage, let alone a man with a family background like Yang Jin.
Besides, she really didn't expect Yang Jin to be ...... to herself
For a while, I only felt that my face was hot, and it took a long time before I spoke: "Uncle, this matter, this matter is very important, and let Ming Shu think about it carefully." ”
It is a lifelong matter that must be considered clearly, and Liu did not force her, but said: "You should think about it carefully, and we don't need to worry." ”
Mu Mingshu nodded, his face was calm, but his eyes were open all night long. The fiery July day was already very hot, and only the cicadas could be heard in the half-moon sky.
As soon as she turned her head, she saw the window that had been pasted with green veil, and she was inexplicably lost, so she simply put on her clothes and got up, took out a red lacquer carved box, opened the lock on it, and took out two paintings written in thick ink from it.
One is a horse race, the other is the battlefield after the smoke of the war, and the flag of Dadu is fluttering in the wind on the city wall, which was just received a few days ago.
Mu Mingshu spread out the two pieces of drawing paper, rubbed them carefully, sighed and put them back into the box again, locked it, stuffed the box under the bed, and threw the key out of the window by the way, and no one knew where they were thrown into the night.
Mu Mingshu made a rational decision.
Yang Jin is on top of the top regardless of appearance, knowledge or family background, if it weren't for his weak body, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take his turn. In addition, he is gentle and considerate, and he is a good candidate as a husband.
Moreover, he is not a member of the royal family, and he will not bring the entire Mu family into a place of no turning because of his own marriage. Although the Yang family has a big business, although there are a lot of dirty things in it, if the Mu family really has something one day, they will definitely not stand idly by.
Mu Mingshu made a decision, but on the second day, he still met Yang Jin in private, and Yang Qinghe was not far away.
Yang Jin's face was flushed, obviously knowing that the Chen family had asked him to marry Mu Mingshu, he lowered his eyes, and he didn't even have the courage to look at Mu Mingshu.
Mu Mingshu didn't beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "Mingshu and Yang Gongzi are self-climbing." ”
When Yang Jin heard this, he thought he was going to reject himself, so he immediately raised his eyes, his eyes were full of loss, and he pulled out a bitter smile: "Mingshu said that I was not worthy of you." ”
The kind of inferiority complex brought about by his poor body emanated from the inside out, which made Mu Mingshu feel uncomfortable for a moment.
She said in a low voice, "I'm not as good as you think. Her eyes were clear, and she looked at Yang Jin quietly: "I dare to withdraw from King Chen's marriage in front of everyone, I will definitely not be a kind lord, if you marry me in the future, you will definitely hear a lot of gossip and strange eyes of others." ”
"I, I know it." Hearing this, Yang Jin was surprised and delighted, his eyes suddenly brightened, his face was ruddy, where could he see that he was a person who had been sick for a long time, and there was a bit of unspeakable joy in his voice: "I am not an impulsive person, the so-called marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, Yang is not such a superficial person, I know clearly how to be comfortable, eleven out of ten rumors outside can't be heard, and I am definitely not the kind of person who judges a person right and wrong after listening to the words of outsiders." ”
After a pause, Yang Jin took a deep breath, raised his eyes to Mu Mingshu's clear eyes, and said, "I don't care what those people outside think, as long as my heart is happy." There was a hint of loneliness in his voice: "I, Yang, can marry Ming Shu as a wife, and I am already convinced by Sansheng Xiu, but my body is weak, and I am afraid that it will affect you." ”
Yang Jin's every sentence is very sincere, it seems that people like Mu Mingshu who have experienced a trauma are a little moved, but they can be moved, and they will not be moved by Yang Jin's words, and they are irrational. She lowered her eyes and said softly, "I don't ask for much, as long as I want." After a pause, Mu Mingshu continued: "As long as you are tired of me in the future, I hope to give me a piece of paper and a letter of departure for the sake of today's feelings." ”
This was said without a beginning or an end, but it shocked Yang Jin fiercely, in this era, whether it is divorce or divorce, it is always a woman who makes people talk. If the mother's family is good, you can still find someone to remarry, but the person you want to marry is definitely not a good person; If the mother's family doesn't take it in, I'm afraid it will only end up being a green lantern ancient Buddha who is lonely and old.
He pursed his lips and tried to see something from Mu Mingshu's face, but to no avail.
I had to promise softly: "I promise you." ”
But there will never be a day.
After communicating with Yang Jin, Mu Mingshu also told Liu about his decision, and sent a letter to Mu Li by the way.
For this matter, the Liu family also scolded Zhao Yiyi: "It's the one who killed a thousand knives who did such a dirty thing, and it made us Mingshu suffer in vain." ”
scolded and scolded, but the business still had to be done, so when the Xu family came again, the Liu family also responded to this family business, and put forward a few requirements from the position of the girl's family, all of which were ordinary requirements for most of them to marry their daughters, and they were not out of line.
But when the Xu family told the Chen family about this happy event, the Chen family was a demon, and his heart became uncomfortable again, and he felt that the Mu Mansion agreed too easily, and put forward those requests, which must have been premeditated, and immediately regretted that his intestines were blue, and he thought about dragging the Xu family to return this family business.
The Xu family is also the wife of the Baiguo Mansion, and she is happy to help when she says that these are happy events, but this family affair is about to be said to be good, and the Chen family regrets telling her to retreat, feeling that the Chen family is obviously playing her like a monkey, so she is so angry that she brushes her sleeves and doesn't care anymore.
When the eldest princess heard this, the eldest princess of Yuhe sneered: "My second sister-in-law is specially trying to embarrass the county lord of Xianhui." ”
It's not embarrassing, it's just a matter of looking down on others, this time I hurriedly invited someone to talk to the matchmaker, and I wanted to quit after saying that I was good, which is a few meanings, which is more embarrassing than expressing my unwillingness to accept Mu Mingshu in person.
This matter did not need to be specially passed on and flew to Yang Jin's ears, and immediately made him change his face, and rushed to Chen's courtyard with red eyes, but asked the maid to stop him: "Fourth master, Madame's body is not good, and the general will invite the imperial doctor to come and see, what do you have to wait for her to come back when she is better." ”
Yang Jin couldn't see Chen, but he had to burn his eyebrows to find Mrs. Yang and tell him about it carefully.
Mrs. Yang turned around with the Buddha beads in her hand, smiled very kindly, and comforted Yang Jin: "Brother Jin, don't worry, your mother's body is not good, and let her have a good life and cultivation, this matter, grandmother will definitely handle it for you, and keep it so that you can happily marry your daughter-in-law." ”
Yang Jin thanked Mrs. Yang again and again, and then retreated.
As soon as Yang Jin left, a sneer appeared on Mrs. Yang's face: "It seems that the second daughter-in-law is really old, and she can do even embarrassing things." He also instructed Duchess Yang to invite Duchess Xu of Baiguo over.
Sun Shi responded respectfully on his face, turned around and sneered: "Die, do it a few more times, and see how the old lady cleans her up this time." ”
When Xu heard that it was Mrs. Yang who invited her over for tea, she also knew that it must be for Yang Jin's marriage, so she cleaned up and went. But in front of Mrs. Yang, she sued the Chen family fiercely, she is also the Duchess of the country, but she asked the Chen family to be a monkey this time, but she was not so angry that she died.
Mrs. Yang listened patiently to Xu's words, and then said with a smile: "The second daughter-in-law has not been very good recently, so she said some nonsense, which made the Duchess laugh." He added: "If there is any offense, the old body is here to compensate for her." ”
Frightened, Xu hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't dare, don't dare, Taijun really tormented me." ”
This time, Yang Taijun came forward in person, and Yang Jin's marriage still asked the Xu family to mediate from it, and the two sides ran a few times before reaching a consensus.
Now that the northwest border is in a hurry, it is not easy for them to do happy events in a grand manner, especially Mu Li is still at the border pass.
After weighing the two sides, it was agreed that this time the token would be exchanged first, and the official decision would be made when the northwest war was victorious, and the marriage would be held when De Muli returned from the border pass.
Therefore, Mu Mingshu is now going to start embroidering the wedding dress and preparing the dowry.
On the day of the exchange of tokens, it was the Duchess of Yang Guo who went with the Xu family, and saw Mu Mingshu wearing a real red snow sprinkling skirt, combing a spirit snake bun, obliquely inserting a gold silk ruby Bu Yao, and hanging a pair of white jade gourd earrings between her ears, which made her more and more white and beautiful.
He pulled her and praised her very much, but saw that she was neither humble nor arrogant, dignified and generous, treated people very decently, and learned the rules very well.
turned around and praised: "It's a nice girl." He sneered again: "I don't know if the ancestor of the Chen family burned high incense, and he is not satisfied with having such a daughter-in-law." ”
And Chen's illness, a disease is more than a month, Yang Taijun is not easy to sympathize with her, every morning and dusk to save her, every day to call the doctor to take her pulse, personally sent her mother-in-law to serve her, until she recovers.
But where is Chen's really sick, she just pretended to be sick and fell to Mu Mingshu, but she never wanted to make Mrs. Yang angry, and specially rectified her. After drinking the bitter medicine for more than a month, I finally couldn't bear it, so I knelt down in front of Mrs. Yang, and said that I was wrong with a handful of snot and tears, so that I could be relieved and see the light of day.
And Zhao Yiheng, who was far away on the battlefield, had already taken back a city belonging to Dadu with the army that went to the northwest earlier, and now he was still fighting with the Mongolian soldiers, but he suddenly heard that Mu Mingshu was going to be engaged to the second son of the Yang family, so he was so angry that he destroyed a team of Mongolian soldiers alone, turned around and sneaked into the Mongolian barracks, and burned the grain and grass of several tents before calming down.
He instructed his subordinates: "You go back and keep an eye on it, if there is any progress, you will directly mess with this family business, if there is no progress, you will wait for the king to go back." ”
Zhao Yiheng's people hurried back to Kyoto, and before they were about to enter the city gate, they heard one thing being discussed in the streets and alleys, that is, the death of the eldest girl of the Hou Mansion in Ningbei.
