Chapter 85: Complaining about the Crime
Mr. Cheng seems to be deliberately avoiding certain topics, and only talks to Mu Xiaoyun about some poems and songs.
Mu Xiaoyun couldn't hold it back, and put down the teacup: "Mr. Cheng, my father was an official in the same dynasty as you, and Xiaoyun is also your junior, Xiaoyun only hopes that you can speak freely." ”
"What do you want to tell you?" At a critical moment, Mr. Cheng suddenly pretended to be confused.
"Mr. Cheng, why did the emperor marry Xiaoyun Xu to Zheng Guangzong, Xiaoyun really can't figure it out." Mu Xiaoyun looked at Mr. Cheng with puzzlement in his eyes.
"Miss Mu, do you know that the princess is also in love with Zheng Gongzi, and the emperor is also forced to do this out of helplessness, the barbarians have repeatedly provoked, and the people at the border are always facing misery."
Mr. Cheng sighed, Huaili County was so bad, the emperor didn't pull out a dime, and the more reason was because the external troubles were too serious.
"Mr. Cheng, what does this have to do with Xiaoyun and Zheng Guangzong?" Mu Xiaoyun became more and more confused.
"That day, the barbarian prince accidentally saw the princess, so he wanted to take the princess as a concubine, but the princess pretended to be Zheng Gongzi in her heart,
The emperor had no choice but to make this decision to marry you to Zheng Guangzong, so that the princess could die, in fact, you can regret the marriage. ”
Mr. Cheng has made a solid relationship with Mu Xiaoyun at this time, and whether this marriage can be completed depends entirely on Mu Xiaoyun's original intentions.
"What does Mr. Cheng mean by this?" Mu Xiaoyun asked in a daze.
"In two months, the princess will marry the barbarian prince, and at that time, whether you agree to this family business or not is up to you.
It's just that in this way, it only hurt Zheng Gongzi and the princess, Zheng Gongzi still doesn't know that the old man protected him that day, but it was the daughter of the Mu family who was protected. ”
Mr. Cheng felt guilty, didn't he know that Gongzi Zheng had a deep love for Princess Murong Ling.
“……”
Mu Xiaoyun felt that this thing was too ridiculous.
"Miss Mu, if you don't agree, after the princess gets married, the old man will personally go to the Zheng family to withdraw from the marriage, Miss, you are also a golden branch and jade leaf, and you can't be wronged."
Mr. Cheng knew that this matter was not very close, so he tried his best to make up for Mu Xiaoyun.
"Mr. Cheng, who told you that you disagreed, Zheng Guangzong is courageous, knowledgeable, and intelligent, if Xiaoyun marries him, it can be regarded as a heaven-sent marriage."
Mu Xiaoyun had only been in contact with Zheng Guangzong once or twice, but he had already been impressed by Zheng Guangzong.
Zheng Guangzong is not afraid of the powerful, and is dedicated to doing practical things for the people, looking at the world, there are several people with such noble sentiments.
Mr. Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled slightly: "The old man is relieved, but the old man is still a little worried, the Zhang family of Huaili County is kind to the Mu family,
I don't know if you should resolve the conflict between the Zhang family and the Zheng family next, they seem to be as calm as water, but in fact, water and fire are difficult to melt. ”
"Xiaoyun will look at this matter from a fair and fair standpoint, so you can rest assured, but Xiaoyun's identity, please continue to help Mr. hide it."
Mu Xiaoyun's face was slightly red, but she vividly interpreted the little woman's shyness.
"Miss, why is that?" Mr. Cheng was surprised.
"Xiaoyun wants to see if Zheng Guangzong is full of sea talk and rhetoric." Mu Xiaoyun shook off the folding fan proudly and smiled ghostly.
"Hehehe, do you want to continue to investigate Zheng Gongzi's character?" Mr. Cheng finally realized that Mu Xiaoyun also had a lot of good feelings for Zheng Guangzong.
"Only Mr. knows a little woman." Mu Xiaoyun laughed heartily.
"Mr. Cheng, there is Boss Zhang of the Zhang family outside asking to see you." A subordinate came in and cautiously announced.
"Zhang Heng?" Mr. Cheng frowned, he had a lot of dealings with Zhang Heng, this Zhang Heng was an old fox.
"Exactly." The servant hurriedly replied.
"Then what are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and please." Mr. Cheng got up and reprimanded his subordinates.
Although Zhang Heng is cunning, he will donate silver taels to Yunlong Academy every year, and Mr. Cheng will sell him some affection.
Mu Xiaoyun also stood up: "Mr. Cheng, Boss Zhang came to look for you, so Xiaoyun will avoid it, so as not to be embarrassed when you meet." ”
"Miss Mu, please." Mr. Cheng's face was calm.
The subordinate hurriedly went down, and after a while, he brought in Zhang Heng, who was in a hurry, the owner of the largest grain shop in Huaili County.
"Come and disturb Mr. Cheng next night, and ask Mr. Cheng for forgiveness." Zhang Heng was polite, bowed to Mr. Cheng, and saluted.
"Boss Zhang is polite, I don't know if Boss Zhang is looking for the old man, what are you doing?" Mr. Cheng suspected that Zhang Heng's motives were impure and he was slightly displeased.
"Mr. Cheng, I came down to see the Mu family's son, the Mu family's envoy had already been to Zhang's house before, and I wanted to see Mu Gongzi and explain the reason.
It is now an eventful time in Huaili County, and some people cannot afford to act arbitrarily. "Zhang Heng really has another purpose, that is, to see the son of the Mu family.
"Boss Zhang, some of the people you are talking about won't be Zheng Gongzi and Lord Baili, right?" Mr. Cheng sneered.
"Mr. Cheng, you are now ignoring things outside the window, and only reading sage books, how do you know how many people in Huaili County are complaining now?
This Zheng Guangzong has no bottom line in doing things, and he has no way out at all, if he continues to toss, I don't know how many people will live on the streets. ”
Several granaries in Zhang Heng's house, in one day, almost all the grain was dispersed, and such a credit depends on Zheng Guangzong.
"Uncle Zhang, your words are too serious!" Mu Xiaoyun walked out from behind the screen, shaking the folding fan, looking as light as a breeze.
Zhang Heng looked over and was stunned.
Where is this Mu Gongzi, but it is Miss Mu: "Xiaoyun, you, why are you here, your brother?" ”
"My brother ordered something important and it was inconvenient to come, so my father asked my little daughter to come, and I hope Uncle Zhang will take care of him." Mu Xiaoyun took off the hairpin and shook his head vigorously.
In an instant, the hair is like a waterfall, and the wind is in full bloom.
"Xiaoyun, do you know what Zheng Guangzong has done, you can call me uncle, Uncle Yu is very pleased, Uncle Yu has the courage to beg you,
helped the Zhang family out of this evil breath, and when the matter is over, Uncle Yu will personally go to your house to thank you. Zhang Heng looked very humble, even though Mu Xiaoyun was just a junior.
"Uncle Zhang is referring to Zheng Guangzong's letting the squire giants of Huaili County open a warehouse to release grain, but from the niece's point of view, this is also for the stability and unity of the Great Qian Dynasty."
With a word, Mu Xiaoyun sealed Zhang Heng's retreat.
"Xiaoyun, don't you know, Zheng Guangzong seriously injured his foolish uncle and nephew, but instead of apologizing, he also tore up a lot of IOUs.
Uncle Yu actively cooperated with the food donation, but Zheng Guangzong should not have to make an inch and deliberately hurt people. Zhang Heng choked up, especially sad and angry.
