Chapter 739: Each according to his ability
Lin Yueji still disliked him a little, but he didn't say anything more except for letting her eat breakfast, and she didn't want to drive him away with bad words, so she simply didn't see it.
If he was ignored by Lin Yueji like this before, Mu Hongli would have been furious a long time ago, but now he feels that at least this is a good start for Lin Yueji's attitude to change, and he is very happy.
When he arrived at the medical hall, Mu Hongli was still sitting in his original position, staring at every young man who came in like a falcon with a pair of eyes, as if all men in the world were rivals.
Lin Yueji was made to laugh and cry by his behavior, but it was okay to do this, lest some young men want to take advantage of her.
In this way, she found that it seemed that Mu Hongli was not useless.
The medical hall was open for a while, Xia Zhiping came, and the smile like the spring breeze in March made him look more easy-going, and he had nothing to do with the meticulous Lord Xia in the Ministry of Rites, just a humble son.
When he entered the door, Mu Hongli was like a male lion whose territory had been encroached upon, and he was on guard.
Xia Zhiping also saw Mu Hongli when he came in, and also smiled at him, "Brother Manulife is also here, what a coincidence." ”
"The grass people see Lord Xia." Mu Hongli gave his hand, and the etiquette that should have been done was sufficient.
"No need to be polite." Xia Zhiping was very peaceful, "That's the case, I wanted to ask Dr. Lin some questions yesterday, seeing that Dr. Lin was busy, I happened to have something to leave, so I'll come back today." ”
As his words fell, a smiling girl came out from behind him, the girl's eyes were big and very aura, and she smiled at Mu Hongli, "Mu Gongzi is also there." ”
"Sister-in-law...... Hello Miss Xia. Mu Hongli almost made a mistake.
Sun Zeyun was too pitiful, and Xia Xue Lao asked him to call his sister-in-law behind his back.
Xia Xue smiled at Mu Hongli again, and walked in front of Lin Yueji, "That's the case, in fact, the question my brother wants to ask is about me......"
He stopped talking and looked at Mu Hongli.
Lin Yueji nodded at Xia Xue and said clearly, "Follow me." Then he took Xia Xue into the backyard.
Mu Hongli: "......"
What does this do?
However, seeing that Xia Zhiping was also outside, his heart was finally balanced, but he inevitably scolded Xia Zhiping in his heart for being insidious, and brought his sister here in order to achieve his goal.
Lin Yueji had just left, and Xia Zhiping's smiling face suddenly turned cloudy, "Brother Manulife, you can't compete with me." ”
"There is no absolute thing, don't be sneering first, we grew up together since childhood, and the two of us have no guesses." Now that Xia Zhiping showed his minions, Mu Hongli also showed his armor, "Lord Xia doesn't know, we have slept in a quilt since we were children." ”
Mu Hongli admits that he is despicable when he says this, but for the sake of his daughter-in-law, despicable is despicable, and holding a beautiful woman is the king.
I thought that Xia Zhiping would be so angry that he ran wild, but who knew that he just snorted coldly, "That was when I was a child, I can't count it, if she likes you, you still use it here to guard against me and stimulate me?" ”
Mu Hongli almost ran away, Xia Zhiping was completely accurate!
Xia Zhiping was calm, "Brother Manulife, your conditions are good, but if you think about it carefully, how can the identity of a businessman be comparable to that of an official?" What's more, I am still the Xia family, although I am not noble, but my identity is there, if Yueji follows me, the future is bright, and no one dares to give her grievances. ”
Mu Hongli was compared, unconvinced, "What is it to be Meng Yin by your ancestors, you have real skills to attract Yueji!" ”
Xia Zhiping raised his eyebrows, "Real skills?" Why don't we have a competition? ”
Mu Hongli was about to say that he would go, who was afraid of whom, but he thought about it wrongly, "What do you want to try?" ”
"Take your pick." Xia Zhiping is confident.
That's even more wrong, Mu Hongli looked Xia Zhiping up and down, and snorted, "Let's fight, you definitely can't beat me, and when the time comes, I will deliberately let me hurt you, you have an excuse to contact Yueji, and by the way, let me lose a notoriety in Yueji's heart."
I can't compare to you, if you lose, you can laugh at me openly for not being as good as you, this is a sure deal, Lord Xia can really do it, but ...... I don't compare! ”
Xia Zhiping didn't seem to be surprised at all that Mu Hongli could see through his thoughts, and laughed twice, "It is worthy of being the younger brother of Mu Yuanshou, you can see this, but so what, you can't stop me, I have a younger sister, do you dare to ask your sister to help you marry Yueji?" ”
"Of course, but I won't, I hope to impress her with my love and care, and not to force her with all kinds of means."
Xia Zhiping smiled silently, Mu Hongli was a little annoyed, what do you mean!
He knew that his sister would not interfere in his and Yueji's affairs? I know what, "Yuejicai is not the kind of superficial woman, she doesn't look at the family's money, but her character." ”
Xia Zhiping said, "Are you weak-hearted?" ”
"Cut, Lord Xia, will Mrs. Ying agree to marry only one at a time? My sister stipulated that the boy in my family can only marry one in his life, and he must be single-minded, and Yueji was influenced by my sister, and since she was a child, she was determined to find a husband like my brother-in-law in the future, and you can go home if you can't do it. ”
When the words fell, Lin Yueji and Xia Xue came out of the backyard, and the two whispered something, Xia Xue's face turned red.
"Home? Brother, didn't you say you wanted to take me to have a good time? Why go home so early? ”
Xia Zhiping walked up to Xia Xue's side, "I'm joking with Brother Manulife, I won't go back for the time being, I'll go out for a walk with Manulife, you can have a good chat with Dr. Lin." ”
"Well, then you guys stay safe."
Mu Hongli didn't give any face, "I didn't say I wanted to go out with you, you said it yourself, I have to stay here and watch my family Yueji, so as not to be taken advantage of by others." ”
The people in this circle are all masters of whitewashing the peace, Xia Zhiping was not embarrassed to be exposed by Mu Hongli, and covered everything with a faint smile, "It's your family that can't run away, unless you have a weak heart, it's not your family, it's useless for you to stay here, sooner or later it will become my family, but are you sure you want to stay here and listen to them talk about the topic between girls?" ”
Lin Yueji glared at Mu Hongli and straightened her face.
What else can Mu Hongli say, if he continues to rely on it, he is afraid that Lin Yueji's image will finally change a little bit, and it will become bad again.
followed Xia Zhiping out of the medical hall, and the two went to the opposite teahouse to sit down.
Xia Zhiping showed that indifferent look again, "Mu Hongli, you can quit." ”
Mu Hongli was even more surprised, he thought that Xia Zhiping's scheming character would not say such things first, he preferred to calculate rather than come clearly, let alone offensive words like this.
"Why should I quit, the wheel queue is also your later."
"But emotional things don't pay attention to first come, first come, if Yueji likes you, you would have been engaged a long time ago, it can be seen that she doesn't like you, and even hates you very much, you better not embarrass her."
Mu Hongli's fists tightened, if he hadn't been Brother Yun's friend, he would have beaten him a long time ago.
Xia Zhiping saw Mu Hongli's movements and smiled, "Want to beat me?" Manulife, brother, I want to beat you too, I heard that you used to bully Yueji, why do you say you don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade? ”
poked his heart, Mu Hongli also wanted to ask himself, was his brain in the water at that time or what, and now it is too late to regret it, so he can only make up for it.
But in front of Xia Zhiping, the aura can't be lost, "I'm a little rude, but I'll be single-minded, at least from the age of six to now, I've been single-minded for almost ten years, but it's you, you can't be single-minded, so you don't have a role." ”
This time it was Xia Zhiping's turn not to speak, it is true that Mrs. Ying likes Lin Yueji, but how can the heir of their Hou Mansion only marry one wife, at least a few concubines.
Mu Hongli finally grasped Xia Zhiping's weakness, and smiled proudly, "Lord Xia, you better be sober, if you really like Yueji, don't come to provoke her, and it is impossible for my sister to let her marry a man who can marry a concubine." ”
Xia Zhiping was silent for a while, "I can give it a try, as long as Yueji can give birth to a son, it is not impossible to convince my mother." ”
"Shame on you!" Mu Hongli was immediately angry, "Yueji ......"
He couldn't say the next words, at least now the Great Xia Kingdom is like this, and he can't gain a foothold in his in-law's family without a son.
But Yueji doesn't need such a foothold, Yueji has the ability to support herself and achieve a career like her sister.
There is no need for a mother to be expensive for a child!
Hearing Xia Zhiping say this, he was very uncomfortable, but what could he do?
Xia Zhiping: "Let's not say that the Xiaoyao Mansion needs an heir, just talk about the basic idea, don't tell me that you don't want to have a son after marrying a wife, teach him martial arts, and let him inherit your family business."
But you gave birth to a delicate daughter, are you willing to let her suffer so much? Anyway, I can't bear it, my sister and I can't bear to let her suffer, if I give birth to a daughter, pampered to raise her, and have to watch her get married, how distressed I am! It's better to have a son, and you don't have to worry about it when you raise it. ”
This is said without jumping out of the way, "Who is willing to do it!" Mu Hongli was depressed, "I won't tell you, just imagine that my little fish grows up and marries me, I can't stand it as an uncle, if my daughter gets married, then I can't stand it, but it's not like that, think about it, if everyone gives birth to a son, where will I marry a daughter-in-law in the future?" Besides, when my daughter grows up, I guess I'll be old, and there's nothing wrong with finding a man to take over from me to take care of her. ”
Xia Zhiping became interested, "I seem to be a little more comfortable when you say that......"
The two of them, who were originally gearing up, put their heads together at once, and chatted endlessly about whether they would have sons or daughters in the future, and then naturally talked about the education of their sons and daughters, and expressed their opinions, especially Mu Hongli, who relied on himself to bring Qiuqiu and Xiaoyuer, and persuaded Xia Zhiping in various ways.
The two chatted vigorously, but they didn't realize that they hadn't married yet.
Sun Zeyun, who had been standing at the door for a while, was dumbfounded when he heard it, and said that he didn't expect such an in-depth question, and finally waited for the two to have a tea break for a while, he walked to the other side of the table and sat down, "I said you can, I decided, in the future, Xue'er and I will also have a cute girl like Xiaoyuer, and she will be hurt in the palm of my hand, and my son-in-law will be trained well since childhood, so as not to meet people unladylike in the future." ”
