Chapter 427: The most terrifying thing is the human heart
Before Mu Jiaojiao nodded, his own people jumped out first and began to dig into the corner of Zhang Sixteen Niangzi, which caused the Zhang family's military spirit to begin to slacken.
Then next, if they launch a charge against Mu Jiaojiao's side, the people's hearts will not be completely condensed - they are all daughters of the Zhang family, why do you want to promote the sixteen ladies? Mrs. Cui said that she doesn't want the daughters of the Zhang family! This means that the concubines of the Zhang family have a chance! All she wants is the daughter of the Zhang family!
No one is a foolish Lord. However, after a few glasses of wine, many people were enlightened, so they secretly asked someone to call the little lady of the right age in their room to look at Mu Jiaojiao.
Mu Jiaojiao naturally praised one by one, but never mentioned the matter of giving Cui Pu a concubine.
It's okay if she doesn't mention it, didn't she already make it clear enough just now? As long as she doesn't refuse, it means that there is hope!
This group of people who have over-supplemented their brains have split into several camps based on one room in a blink of an eye. Next, there is no need for Mu Jiaojiao to speak again, the verbal quarrel between these people is a good show presented in front of her eyes!
Mu Jiaojiao ate the dishes and tasted the tea safely, watching this group of women fight for a place as a concubine of the prefect of Guangzhou, and her heart was unconsciously sprinkled with bright sunshine.
Cui Pu's situation on the men's side was much more difficult.
Patriarch Zhang is also the head of the clan. Although he doesn't have any skills, because of Zhang Jiuling's relationship, he still looks a little bit like Qujiang over the years. In addition, he has been dealing with those people all the year round, and now he has begun to do everything to maintain the status of the Zhang family in Qujiang and even the entire Lingnan, so the means to deal with Cui Pu are much more powerful.
Cui Pu was struggling to cope. It's easy to wait for the banquet to disperse, and everyone else is about to be paralyzed.
"Woo woo, lady, it's so hard for your husband!"
After returning to the guest room arranged for him by Zhang's family, he hugged Mu Jiaojiao tightly and began to cry.
Mu Jiaojiao remained motionless and let him cry as much as he could.
Cui Pu cried a few times, and found that something seemed to be wrong, so he quickly raised his head: "What's wrong with you? But someone bullied you?"
"I have good news and bad news to tell you here, which one do you want to hear first?" Mu Jiaojiao smiled at him again and said softly.
Cui Pu couldn't help but stand on end.
"Can I listen to none of them?" he whispered.
"No, you can't. Mu Jiaojiao shook her head.
"Well, I'll listen to the bad ones first. ”
"The bad thing is that Zhang Sixteen Lady shouldn't be able to be your concubine. “
"Great!" Cui Pu hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief, and hugged Mu Jiaojiao tightly, "Thank you, lady! You are so good, you helped me solve a big problem!"
When he was in a good mood, he asked, "By the way, what's the good news?"
"The good news is that it seems that the Zhang family plans to replace Zhang Sixteenniang's concubine with a concubine. Perhaps, you can also choose from the Zhang family's daughters, and choose one or two of the types you like to bring home. Presumably from tomorrow, you will meet the little lady of the Zhang family by chance. Isn't that a great thing for you?"
Cui Pu's smiling face immediately collapsed.
When he didn't have her before, he also wondered if there would be a day when anyone in the family could release all the little ladies in the family, and he could pick whatever he wanted.
Of course, that's just imagination. How can he be virtuous, who would be so generous to let him choose his own little lady at will?
But now, this dream has finally become a reality, but why can't he laugh at all, but wants to cry even more?
"Lady save me!" he hurriedly hugged Mu Jiaojiao and didn't let go.
Mu Jiaojiao's tone was cold. "How many men can't ask for a good thing, why do you feel like you're being hunted down?"
This is worse than being hunted down and killed, isn't it? He can't even look down on any of the little ladies of the Zhang family! With a tutor like Patriarch Zhang, what kind of children can he teach? Don't you see that Zhang Dalangjun's family has been forced to live in a corner? They also used the excuse that they did not attend today's dinner, and it is clear that they have no intention of joining them again!
Besides, if he really dares to take a concubine, Mu Jiaojiao won't ignore him in the future? He has long been used to sleeping with her fragrant and soft body every night, and he can't sleep at all without her by his side!
Therefore, he was firm in his mind and shouted: "I swear, I will never take a concubine in this life! I only have you alone, and you believe me, lady." If I violate this oath in this life, let me thunder five times in the sky!"
"But I have only bore you two sons. Mu Jiaojiao said again.
"Two is enough! I'm almost annoyed by them!" Speaking of the two sons, Cui Pu was even more forbearing, "The children are not very good." We are both busy to death, who is in the mood to give birth to so much? It's not pig breeding, litter by litter, and when we give birth, we throw it there and feed a few bites of food, and in the end we all grow into the virtue outside, and that's why we dig a hole and bury ourselves! I'm not so stupid!"
But speaking of this, he couldn't help but rub Mu Jiaojiao's cheeks: "If you can, I still hope that you will give me a little lady in two years." ”
It's just that since the eldest lady, Mu Jiaojiao gave birth to two sons in a row, which really scared him. I am afraid that another son will be born, especially Mu Jiaojiao will give birth to one every two years, which will not cause much damage to the body. He really couldn't bear it, so he decided not to give birth for the time being.
In this way, the people outside had to accuse Mu Jiaojiao of not being able to give birth to a few, but they still blocked him from taking concubines and passing on the ancestry. Even if he went out to explain, those people wouldn't believe it, but felt that Mu Jiaojiao was domineering and bullied him indecently. Even if those people at the banquet today were openly and secretly saying bad things about Mu Jiaojiao, in a vain attempt to destroy their relationship between husband and wife, fortunately, they were all blocked by him.
Hey, anyway, it's her who suffers.
It was precisely because of this that why was he willing to make her so angry?
After a little flattery, coquettish rolling, it was easy for him to let the frost on Mu Jiaojiao's face fade.
"It's just that the Zhang family's intentions are too obvious now. If we don't let them achieve their goal, they won't let us go for a while. Mu Jiaojiao said again.
"I know, so now we can't lose our temper, we have to hurry up and discuss countermeasures!" Cui Pu whispered, and took her hand, "Lady, let's go inside to discuss and discuss, huh?"
"I don't believe you have no idea. Mu Jiaojiao only said.
Cui Pu smirked. "I have, but I have to get your consent before I can take action! Now that Mr. Zhuang is not here, I can only rely on you to check for me. ”
After saying that, he dragged Mu Jiaojiao to the inside.
The next day, the couple woke up and learned that something had happened to the Zhang family last night.
The seventeenth lady and the eighteenth lady didn't know how to fight, and the seventeenth lady cut the eighteenth lady's face with a hairpin. Of course, the seventeenth lady didn't get any benefits. Because when the two were arguing, the eighteenth lady also scratched the little face of the seventeenth lady with her sharp nails.
The two poor little ladies were disfigured like this.
Mu Jiaojiao couldn't help but exclaim in amazement after hearing this: "This is too ruthless!"
"So, such a woman must not be touched. Otherwise, what if they are in a bad mood and ruin my face? I have to rely on this face to go out to meet people!" Cui Pu quickly held his face and whispered.
He's really glad now.
I used to think that Mu Jiaojiao's medical skills were too terrible. But now he has completely understood that the human heart is the most terrible thing in the world! As long as you have a heart to harm others, anything can be turned into a tool to harm others. He rose all the way from the county order to the prefect, and tried countless strange cases in ten years. Now, he is not afraid of anything, just the hearts of the people who are hidden under that layer of flesh and skin!
And now, the group of people in the Zhang family has refreshed his cognition - the little ladies are fighting so fiercely, you can imagine what has been torn between adults!
Pity Zhang Jiuling, who left this group of family members after his death. If this group of people is allowed to go on like this, his good reputation will be ruined.
The unhealthy tendencies in the Zhang family must be curbed! Cui Pu said secretly in his heart.
And Mu Jiaojiao quickly counted the ointment on hand, then pulled him up and said, "Let's go, let's see a doctor for the two little ladies!"
