Chapter 241: Family Affairs (1)
Murong Mansion at night is brightly lit and lively tonight.
There are more than a dozen clansmen who went to Jizhou with General Murong this time. Gather at Murong Mansion tonight. The elders of the Murong clan were also invited, and the five family banquets were full.
This is not counting the Murong clan's sons who are on an errand in the palace, otherwise, they may not be able to sit down for another five seats.
Descendants of children and nephews, talents are numerous. This is the foundation of a strong family.
General Murong looked at this scene, his heart was very happy, and he was in a good mood, so he couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.
Murong Shen, who is the future head of the Murong family, is also in everyone's attention tonight. Everyone took turns to come forward to toast.
Murong Shen ran all the way, but he couldn't recover from his injuries well, and the scars on his back were painful, and he couldn't drink alcohol at all. He took the glass, dipped his lips and put it down.
The peers didn't dare to say anything, and they thought that the older elders couldn't look at it, so they opened their mouths and said: "The big guy toasts, why doesn't the big guy drink?" ”
Without waiting for Murong Shen to speak, General Murong opened his mouth on his behalf: "He will enter the palace on an errand tomorrow, and it is not appropriate to drink." ”
That elder is a generation older than General Murong, and he loves to rely on the old and sell the old on weekdays, but at this time, I don't know what kind of wind he smoked, so he said in public: "It's just to be an errand, and it's also tomorrow." Drink less tonight, that's all. How can there be a reason not to stick to a drop of wine. ”
Boom!
Not light, not heavy, a muffled sound.
Everyone at the table was shocked.
Murong Shen put down the wine glass in his hand heavily.
"I'm running all the way, I'm a little tired, so I'll leave the table and go back to rest." After Murong Shen finished speaking, he bowed his hand to everyone and left the table.
The elder who was ignored was so angry that he put down his wine glass: "Who is he throwing a tantrum at?" ”
General Murong had to raise a glass in person and toast the elders three times, and the banquet became lively again. However, the people do not say anything in their mouths, and they also have their own plans in their hearts.
This Murong Shen has all the ability and ability, and his temper is really too big.
Murong Ke looked at the direction of his brother's departure, and his heart was a little unsure. After waiting for a while, he quietly left the table under the pretext of convenience.
"Big brother!" Murong Ke happily pushed open the door of his brother's room, stepped forward and was about to speak, his gaze swept over Murong Shen's back, and his face changed: "Big brother! Why do you have so many injuries on your body? ”
A faint flame flashed in Murong Shen's eyes, and he motioned for his soldiers to continue taking the medicine, obviously without explanation.
Murong Ke knew his brother's temper very well, so he had to keep his mouth shut, take the wound medicine from his own soldiers, and apply the medicine for Murong Shen.
On closer inspection, the bruises all over the body are even more shocking.
No wonder the eldest brother refused to drink just now. There are traumatic injuries, and it is true that you can't drink alcohol. But how did this injury come about? Who would dare to give such a heavy hand to the eldest brother?
After applying the medicine, Murong Shen got dressed. Murong Ke finally couldn't help but ask, "Big brother, did your father punish you?" ”
Murong Shen didn't want to explain, so he replied succinctly: "My father asked me to marry a wife and start a family as soon as possible, and I have already complied." ”
Murong Ke was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Is it because of family affairs that my father did it?" ”
Murong Shen glanced at Murong Ke coldly. Murong Ke didn't dare to ask any more, and said in a low voice: "The eldest brother is already twenty-three this year, and it is indeed time to start a family." ”
"The prince of Beihai has returned to Beijing, and his wedding date with Miss Zhao Liu is approaching, so don't worry about Miss Zhao Liu anymore eldest brother......"
Big brother's eyes are so scary!
Murong Ke's will to survive was very strong, and he decisively immediately changed the topic: "Which family does my father want to marry for my eldest brother?" ”
Murong Shen's expression was indifferent: "I don't know." ”
Murong Ke: "......"
Murong Ke had to try to continue to change the topic: "Big brother should take a few days off, heal the injuries on his body and enter the palace again!" ”
Murong Shen said lightly: "No need, I can hold it." ”
……
After the family banquet was dispersed, General Murong was full of wine, and his eyes were quite clear.
Mrs. Murong finally found an opportunity and wiped her tears in front of her husband: "The master is back." In the past six months, the lord was not in the capital, and the concubine body was like losing her soul, and she had no backbone to live her life. ”
cried again: "After the master came back, he hasn't seen Yan'er yet." Yan'er fell seriously ill and lost a lot of weight, so she hasn't been able to stay until today. ”
"She is a girl's family, pampered since she was a child, how can she ever suffer such a sin. The personal maid was killed with a living cane, and she was so frightened that she had nightmares for half a month, and she washed her face with tears all day long. The concubine is really afraid that a shadow will fall in her heart. ”
didn't mention Murong Shen at all, but he pointed to it in every word.
General Murong wrinkled his brows, looked at his tearful wife, and said slowly: "I have already reprimanded Da Lang for this matter. Yan'er is indeed a little willful and must be strictly disciplined. ”
Mrs. Murong failed to file a complaint, and was choked back, feeling bitter and uneven: "The master doesn't support Yan'er, my poor daughter!" was frightened and seriously ill in vain. ”
General Murong straightened his face: "Don't cry!" This is the end of the matter, and it is not allowed to be mentioned in the future. Also, you immediately prepare for the dowry. ”
Dowry?
Mrs. Murong was stunned for a moment, didn't care about wiping away her tears, and asked hurriedly, "Which girl did the master fall in love with?" Will Da Lang marry? ”
"I can't help but marry him." General Murong spit out a sentence coldly, but he didn't want to say more, he only said: "The dowry will be prepared according to the previous list." ”
Murong Fu's mouth responded, but his heart throbbed.
How much the Murong family's family business is, she, the housemother, doesn't know it. This huge family business will be Murong Shen's in the future. Her pair of children can't share much at all. Murong Yan has at most a dowry, and Murong Ke will marry a wife and marry in the future, and what he can share is limited.
This is the rule of the Murong family. In order to prevent the family business from being scattered, most of it had to be passed on to the eldest son.
General Murong fell asleep with a heart full of concern.
Early the next morning, General Murong and Murong Shen's father and son entered the palace together to meet them.
Those who were summoned into the palace also included the prince of Dingguo and the Marquis of Zhongyong.
No matter how mediocre Emperor Yongming is, he is also the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, and he knows very well the importance of military power. The Guards' cavalry battalion and the Iron Guard Battalion formed the three most elite armies of the Great Jin Dynasty. These three armies, in fact, are also directly under the orders of the Son of Heaven.
The Marquis of Zhongyong knelt down first and pleaded guilty: "It was all the incompetence of the last general, who failed to quickly pacify Jizhou and lost the battle." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been involved in an expedition, and the last general is really ashamed of his love for the emperor. ”
Emperor Yongming was indeed quite dissatisfied with the Marquis of Zhongyong, and said with a straight face: "You have already made the merit for the crime, and I will not pursue it this time." Get up! ”
Then he praised the prince of Dingguo and General Murong.
The Marquis of Zhongyong was pale and listened cheekily.
An hour later, the three of them retired together.
General Murong caught up with the Marquis of Zhongyong and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, please stay, I have something to discuss." ”
