"Patriarch Wu is well-informed." Chen Mo knew that this matter was not a secret, and said with a smile: "Ben Hou did get a sailor from Fengzhou, but it was not an elite, it was just a rout. I wonder what your envoy is asking about this? ”

"It's true." Lu Tong arched his hand to Chen Mo again, and said: "Hou Ye has three states, strong soldiers, and a dock built in Qiantang, and now Hou Ye has an elite sailor, although my lord knows that we are friendly to each other, but the people of Jiangdong do not know."

Always afraid of the Hou Ye's soldiers, the heart is uneasy, every day to petition my lord, in order to completely appease the uneasiness of the people in Jiangdong, my lord sent a villain to tell the Hou Ye about family affairs. ”

"Oh." Seeing Lu Tong's cowering look, Chen Mo became interested, took a sip of hot tea from the teacup, and said.

"My lord has a little sister, beautiful and virtuous, worthy of a broom, and proficient in medical skills, the teacher of the imperial doctor Zhang Jingzhi, if he and the Hou Ye become in-laws, they are allies of each other. In this way, through this relationship, the people of Jiangdong will not worry about Hou Ye going to Jiangdong, so they will eliminate this uneasiness in their hearts. Lu Tong said.

Hearing this, Chen Mo suddenly showed a shocked expression, then put down the teacup, and said with a flattered look: "Ben Hou was born in a humble background, counting up to three generations, all dressed in pockmarks, relying on the sky to eat, how dare to climb the Wu family."

Lu Tong: "......"

He couldn't hear the yin and yang weirdness in Chen Mo's words.

Because Wu Changlin once told him that when he was looking for Chen Mo before, Chen Mo expressed his intention to marry the daughter of the Wu family, but was rejected by Wu Changlin, and after returning to Jiangdong, Wu Changlin mocked him that he also wanted to go to the daughter of the Wu family because of Chen Mo's background.

I didn't expect Chen Mo to see it, and now he is coming to this set.

"Hou Ye's words are different. Hou Ye is mighty, dignified, is a young hero, my young lady once said, if it is not a hero in the world, I will not do anything. Hou Ye is famous all over the world, the so-called beauty is a hero, Miss and Hou Ye are a perfect match, in addition, this is also the heart of the people of An Jiangdong, and I hope that Hou Ye will not shirk. Lu Tong said slowly.

"Da-da."

Chen Mo's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and then said: "The matter of marrying a wife is too involved, so Rong Gui will give Ben Hou a day to think about it." ”

"As it should be." Chen Mo said.

Chen Mo asked Sun Meng to arrange for someone to take Lu Tong down to rest.

When Sun Meng returned to Chen Mo's side again, Chen Mo drank all the tea in the teacup and said, "Sun Meng, what do you think about this matter?" ”

"Go back to the Hou Ye." Sun Meng arched his hand at Chen Mo, and said with a smile: "It seems that the Wu family knows that after Hou Ye got the water master, his strength has increased greatly, and they are worried that Hou Ye will beat them, so they are afraid, so they want to marry their daughter and make peace with Hou Ye, so Hou Ye will not be able to send troops to Jiangdong." ”

Saying that, Sun Meng couldn't help but feel a little complacent, and said: "Hou Ye is really a god, and even the Wu family, one of the seven famous families, is frightened by Hou Ye and bows his head at this moment. ”

But Chen Mo was not as optimistic as Sun Meng, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I'm afraid things are not so simple." ”

Having said that, Chen Mo still agreed to Lü Tong, sent Sun Meng and Zuo Lianglun as matchmakers, and returned to Jiangdong with Lü Tong to meet Wu Changlin.

Sun Meng said that his Hou Ye agreed to marry Wu Xiaomei, and the bride price would be sent to Jiangdong in a few days.

Zuo Lianglun then said: "Young Patriarch Wu, I don't know when my family's marquis will be able to marry Miss Wu?" ”

"When Chen Mo will come to Yongkang, when will he get married." Wu Changlin said.

Yongkang, equivalent to the "capital" of Jiangdong

As soon as these words came out, Sun Meng and Zuo Lianglun both frowned.

Sun Meng is a martial artist, obviously he can't speak, hearing Wu Changlin's words, he was just about to get angry, Zuo Lianglun hurriedly stopped it with his eyes, and immediately arched his hand to Wu Changlin, and said: "Miss wants to marry Yuzhou, and the Hou Ye can greet her relatives by the river, why do you want to come to Yongkang, this is not in line with etiquette." ”

Wu Changlin waved his hand and said with a smile: "The little sister is still young, the mother is old, and she is reluctant to marry the little sister far away, so I hope that the Hou Ye can come to Yongkang to marry and understand my mother's wishes."

In addition, the envoy also knows that the daughter of the Wu family is not married, and the Hou Ye will come to Yongkang to live for a long time, so that everyone can take a look, so that I can also let me all explain, and also keep the face of the Wu family, if the Hou Ye is not used to living, he can return to Yuzhou with his new wife at any time. ”

Hearing this, Zuo Lianglun frowned, he was not Sun Meng, and immediately realized that there was likely to be fraud in it, so he said: "The so-called parents' orders, the words of the matchmaker, can I meet the old patriarch and the old lady Wu next?" ”

"I'm sorry, it's really unfortunate, my father and mother are no longer in Yongkang, and I went to Jiangnan to buy a dowry for my little sister, but I said before I left that I have full control over my little sister's marriage." Wu Changlin said.

Zuo Lianglun couldn't agree directly, but said that he would wait until he went back to discuss with Hou Ye before deciding.

This time and again, when Chen Mo learned the news, it happened to be the first day of the fifth month.

"Go to Yongkang to get married" Chen Mo frowned.

"Master Hou, I'm afraid this matter is fraudulent, you can't agree." Zuo Lianglun reminded: "The so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, if this is really the conspiracy of the Wu family, the Hou Ye goes, I am afraid it will be difficult to come back." This time we went to Jiangdong, and we didn't even see the old patriarch of the Wu family. ”

"But Master Hou has already agreed to Lu Tong's proposal before, and we also went to Jiangdong, if we regret it at this time, it will be equivalent to humiliating the Wu family, I'm afraid it's not inappropriate." Sun Meng also reacted in hindsight and said.

Chen Mo smiled and said to Zuo Lianglun: "No, I'm going." ”

Zuo Lianglun: "??? ”

He didn't believe it, and with Chen Mo's ingenuity, he couldn't think of this.

Chen Mo said: "Maybe the Wu family is really afraid of my military might and worried that I will go to Jiangdong, so they use marriage to help us together, so it is not good for us to go down to Jiangdong again."

In addition, now that the Huai King is powerful, the next target is likely to be us, and we need a strong ally. Sun Meng is also right, we agreed to the Wu family's recruitment before, if we refuse now, it is equivalent to humiliating the Wu family, if the Wu family falls to the King of Huai, the consequences are unimaginable, for the sake of the overall situation, we must also agree. ”

"Then Master Hou doesn't need to go to danger in person." Zuo Lianglun said.

"It's very clear that if you go, you're going to your family, and if you don't go, you're going to be an enemy." Chen Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, he already had an idea in his heart, and smiled meaningfully: "I still wish they were cheating." ”

“？？？”

Zuo Lianglun didn't understand what Chen Mo meant.

Chen Mo chose to sell a pass, but he muttered in his heart, and said: "Ben Hou is ready for everything, just an excuse to send troops to Jiangdong, if there is really fraud, we will have righteousness." ”

There was a gleam in his eyes.
