Chapter Ninety-Three: Trivia
Mrs. Li's face was obviously a little gloomy, Wu Qi found that he was speechless, and he knew his own affairs, not that his mother was jealous, but that his father insisted on it, and because he was injured in the early years, although he didn't find anything at the time, he was diagnosed afterwards that he no longer had reproductive function, so for so many years...... Otherwise, there would not be only two people now, myself and my brother, and what I said just now has obviously hurt my mother's sadness.
Wu Qi hurriedly changed the topic, looking elated: "Mother, you don't know, I met a girl when I went out this time, her name is Xiaofei, by the way, it is the young lady of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Xinfei, she is so beautiful, the elf is eccentric, she is really a very good girl, you must like it when you see it, I heard that the Ouyang family is very powerful in the capital, and last time my son had a big misunderstanding with them in the temporary camp." Saying this, Wu Qi's face was gloomy, and he really looked a little sad.
Mrs. Li was no longer sad, and said: "Of course Weiniang knows, that girl is a girl from the Ouyang family, and this Ouyang family does have some strength in Chaoge, but you don't have to be arrogant, although this time it is a political marriage, but what you like is the most important thing, and now I hear you say this, I am relieved to be a mother." ”
Wu Qi hated that he couldn't give himself a slap, what did he say.
Wu Qi was a little desperate: "Mother, Xiaofei is good, but she is also very proud, I'm afraid she won't take a fancy to me, I mean, do we need to think about it?"
Mrs. Li said with a smile: "Xiao Qi, don't say that, you let them go out to look for it, it's not that we brag, can we find young talents who are even more handsome than you in the whole Xiangyang City? You have to be confident, besides, this is a matter of two families, she is a girl, when will it be her turn to make irresponsible remarks about the marriage event? As long as you like it, she has to agree and disagree!" This is quite domineering.
Wu Qi had an idea, hesitated and said: "Mother, I'm afraid this is not very good, you see that the family is one of the three major families? I'm afraid it's not okay to offend too much? My brother is still in the capital! Wu Qi plans to start on the other side.
Mrs. Li said: "Don't worry, don't say that none of our Li family or the Wu family is a decoration, just say that your brother is still the national teacher of the Shang Kingdom, you can rest assured, not to mention a few girls from the three major families, it is the princess of the Shang Kingdom, as long as you want the old lady to marry you back." "That's a good thing, the emperor of the Great Shang Kingdom has no other skills, but the ability of this daughter is one of the best, there are dozens of registered title princesses at the moment, with Wu Kun's special status, it is really not difficult to open his mouth.
Wu Qi suddenly felt a little headache, and the long-lost meal was a little unfragrant, so he could only change the topic with a pitiful smile: "Who said that my mother is old? ”
Mrs. Li pretended to be angry: "Stinky boy, don't be rude, even dare to make jokes for your mother, be careful that your father cleans you up." With a smile on his face.
Wu Qi was eating, pretending to be casual: "Mother, has there been any news from Mengyuan during this time?"
Mrs. Li's face was stern: "Don't mention the white-eyed wolf, if you want to get up when you have a problem, you can get up, and when the problem is solved, you won't say hello and leave, you don't have any education at all, this kind of woman and son don't have to take it to heart, my mother will find you a better one." "Qin Mengyuan's ability to marry Wu Qi did have an ulterior purpose, this is a fact, after three days of marriage, it is also a fact that she disappeared from the portal silently, Wu Qi was confused and anxious at first, then angry, and a few days later it turned into nostalgia and concern. In Wu Qi's opinion, Qin Mengyuan is not the kind of ungrateful girl, although she married herself to save her father, but Wu Qi firmly believes that Qin Mengyuan still has feelings for herself, and she can't tell the truth, but Wu Qi just knows.
The atmosphere was a little depressing, and Wu Qi said slowly: "Mother, my son has been walking for several days, and he is really tired and wants to rest." Seeing that her son's face was a little gloomy, Mrs. Li was distressed, and said, "Alas, forget it, don't worry, you, don't worry, you have already said hello over there, and I told your brother that he will also help take care of the girl." "In the end, it was his own son, and Mrs. Li, who was arrogant and domineering to everyone, had to give in.
After Wu Qi came out, he immediately asked Ouyang Xinfei and the others where they were placed, and the result was that after entering Xiangyang City, they were picked up by some people, but they didn't know where they were now, Wu Qi was on fire on the spot, why did he not know how to do things? Lao Tzu left for a while, and there was such a big mess, and he scolded hatefully: "A group of waste, can't even a few women look at it?"
A few stewards also had a headache, the warrant was signed by the master, but this kind of thing can't be said to the young master, so there is a suspicion of intimacy, it is a big taboo, and he can only make amends repeatedly.
The matter has come to this, Wu Qi has no choice, these people are all old people in the family, they can't make a big deal for a little thing, then there is no need, he was silent for a while with a gloomy face, and then he could only order people to inquire about the whereabouts of these people quickly.
Wu Qi always felt that there was a heavy stone in his heart that was overwhelming, and he always felt that he had taken things for granted in advance, and he always felt that something bad would happen.
Sure enough, things came right away. A slave girl hurried over, but she couldn't say a word for a long time.
Wu Qi was in a bad mood, but he still said patiently: "If there is anything, just say it, don't spit it out." ”
The slave girl said: "Young master, Mrs. Yin's body is serious again, but Madame won't let me tell the young master......"
Wu Qi didn't want to get angry, but he couldn't help it at this time, what kind of thing was this? When did a lady Yin pop up again? Wu Qi really wanted to get angry, but it was not Wu Qi's style to get angry with women, Wu Qi stared at her and said slowly: "Raise your head and look at me." Well, who are you? New here, aren't you?"
Wu Qi knew that although the family no longer organized slave hunting teams, there were still high-end slave traders, and it was estimated that she should be too. Wu Qi sighed in his heart, it's very beautiful, what does this father and mother think, this girl is so beautiful, she can't bear to sell it and let others practice it at will, just for a few silver coins?
Wu Qi is also from a rich family, of course he will not understand the hardships of the poor, just like the slave girls in front of him and the thousands of women who came from the temporary camp, survival is the first thing, compared to the temptation of food and clothing, everything else can be accepted.
The slave girl stammered and didn't know what to say, and her smooth forehead was covered with beads of sweat in just a few seconds, and the beads of sweat shone intoxicatingly in the candlelight.
Wu Qi said, "Okay, let's go down." ”
Wave after wave of unsettled, and someone said: "Young master, the prisoner opened his mouth and scolded, this ......"
Wu Qi said: "Why do you still want me to deal with such a trivial matter? How did you deal with it before, but can't you just do it this time? Aren't you very good at this? What's wrong with today, why are you bothering me with some!"
The person who came was resigned: "Young master, this time the person is different, he is from the Wang family of Pingyang County." ”
Wu Qi frowned: "Pingyang County, Wang family, you mean Wang Ping?"
The person who came secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said continuously: "Yes, yes, Pingyang Wang family, it was Wang Ping's son who was brought back by the young master, young master?"
Wu Qi was silent, secretly thinking, and said: "Well, it's a little interesting, so let's put him in the dungeon, go with him tonight, and I'll meet him in person tomorrow." Also, don't worry about other things yet, find the specific place of the three major families as soon as possible tonight, Xiangyang City is so big, you focus on finding relatively large hotels like Xiaojia Restaurant and Zhangjia Restaurant, remember that I want exact news tomorrow, the more detailed the better, go. Just as the person was about to leave, Wu Qi said again: "By the way, go to the account room to withdraw ten gold coins, everyone will work hard tonight, and the stewards will have two silver coins each, and they will work overtime tonight, do you know?"
The steward went down, and Wu Qi also knew that it was unrealistic to want the horse to run and not eat grass again, so he used his greatest authority, believing that the problem should be solved if ten gold coins were smashed out.
