"Impossible!"

Steward Cao blurted out.

Isn't he still clear about the identity of the Taiyuan Wang family? It was the top clan of the entire New Tang Dynasty, and the Wang family's descendants were like stars in the sky, and they were not at all something that ordinary people could climb. is like the Chang'an Ling Cao family, the lady of their family wants to marry the children of the Wang family, it is tantamount to a fool's dream, if it is a concubine for the side branch of the Wang family, it is almost the same. And the Mu family, whose status is much lower than that of the Cao family, what qualifications do they have to say goodbye to the Wang family? Moreover, the young lady of the Wang family personally brought the official media over!

If there is an official media, it is a famous wife! How can the Mu family be able to win such an honor? He doesn't believe it!

The housekeeper can't get used to the Cao family who has been going to Mu's house to eat and get cards. Now hearing him say this, his heart was aroused a little resentful, so he said coldly: "It's impossible, I don't know." However, it is a fact that Mrs. Wang took the initiative to find her door today, and it is even more true that Mrs. Wang came with the official media. ”

This is the second time!

After Mu You treated him as nothing, didn't even a little housekeeper of the Mu family take him seriously? So, is the Mu family really going to climb the Wang family?

Steward Cao chuckled in his heart.

Mu You's mind was also dizzy when he heard this--marrying the Wang family? This is something he can't even think of. Thinking about it now, his heart suddenly raced, his hands and feet went limp, and he could barely step out of his feet......

Forget it, don't think about it yet. Maybe what's really going on, what is the identity of their Mu family, don't they know in their hearts? Even if the Wang family is the most humble concubine, it definitely doesn't look down on their family's lady. Maybe Mrs. Wang came here this time to invite the sixth lady to visit the doctor!

Well, the more I think about it, the more I think this idea is the most reliable. After all, the sixth lady had just cured Mrs. Cui's illness, didn't she? Mrs. Wang, as the daughter of the Cui family, must have known the news for the first time. If someone in the Wang family is sick, I am afraid that the sixth lady will be the first to think of it. It is reasonable for her to come forward to invite again.

As for the official media...... Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe the housekeeper is wrong, anyway, it must have nothing to do with the marriage of Wang Mu's family!

When all kinds of ideas were running at high speed in his head, Steward Cao also jumped out of countless possibilities in his heart. Like Mu You, he also refused to believe that the Wang family would have the heart to marry the Mu family. But it is also true that Mrs. Wang came to the door in person, which at least proves that the Mu family and the Cui family already have an inexplicable relationship. If one is not good, even the Wang family will be involved.

In this way, their attempt to use the power of the Cao family to force Mu You to agree to this family affair will not work. For now, the only way to do this is to find out what Mrs. Wang's real intention is to come to the door!

So, he grabbed Mu You: "Let's go, let's go and have a look!"

said that Gong had eaten several times in a row, and had been sulking in the room for a long time. It was easy to hear the news that the Gu family came to propose marriage early in the morning, and she was just in a good mood, when she heard that the Huang family and the Cao family had also sent people, and they were all rushing to marry Mu Jiaojiao!

Even the eldest lady of the Mu family, born to her eldest sister, has never been so sought-after! And the ninth lady she gave birth to, Mu Huiyi, I am afraid that she will not have such a popular treatment in the future.

But all this in front of her actually belongs to Mu Jiaojiao's girl!

Gong's stomach suddenly knocked over the vinegar jar, and he really wanted to bring Mu Jiaojiao up, and ask her if she secretly took ecstasy when she was treating people, so she asked these people to do such an unruly thing.

"Hmph, it must be. This girl is just like her mother, she is used to confusing people's minds, otherwise why would the master marry her mother as a stepmother without telling the family?"

Gong said to himself. When it comes to Mu Jiaojiao's mother, she doesn't feel good in her heart.

Still sulking, the housekeeper came in in a hurry, and said, "Madam, the third young lady of the Taiyuan Wang family is here, and the lord asks you to go out with the sixth lady to receive it." ”

Why is it the sixth lady again?

"No, don't go!" Gong blurted out.

As soon as she said that, she suddenly reacted - "Who are you talking about?

"Taiyuan Wang, the third young lady of the fourth room. The butler said word by word.

Gong's eyes immediately lit up. "Is it her? Is it really her? Are you lying to me? Why did someone from the Taiyuan Wang family come to our house? I'm not dreaming, right? Or are you wrong?"

The housekeeper looked helpless. "Mrs. Wang has already entered the door, Madam, you better hurry up and pick it up! ”

"Yes, yes, no matter what, I'm going to have to meet her first. Even if it's just a member of the Wang family, I should dress up to greet him. If you offend the Wang family, it will be a big deal! Come on, quickly take out my purple Shu brocade coat, comb my hair, and draw my eyebrows...... By the way, go and bring Jiu Niangzi and Eleven Langjun over. When a guest comes to the house, they must show their faces in front of them. If they can get the blue eyes of their guests, it will be of infinite use to them for the rest of their lives!" Gong was so busy for a while, directing this and pushing that, like a fluttering flower and butterfly, he was about to turn himself dizzy.

It was easy to pack up, and the ninth lady Mu Hao and the eleventh Lang Jun Mu Hao were also hugged over. Gong Shi held one in one hand and hurriedly walked out. When she got out of the courtyard gate, she remembered again: "There is also a second lady, you should also go and call her!"

"Madam, the master said that it was for you and the sixth lady to entertain Mrs. Wang together. The butler patiently reminded her.

Gong rolled his eyes: "Sixth lady, what rules does she know? People are very delicate, if Mrs. Wang sees her sick appearance, she may not know how angry she is! Or the second lady and my nine ladies and eleven lang are looking at the festive in vain, and they will entertain Mrs. Wang with me." ”

It's just that she thought of Mu Wanxuan's illness again, and her idea of wanting to take Mu Wanxuan to show her face in front of the nobles faded again, and in the end, she just took her own pair of children over.

Mrs. Wang entered the inner hall with the official matchmaker, and met Gong's bright smile.

smiled at her, and after the two briefly greeted her, Mrs. Wang said what she meant: "I'm ashamed to say it." A few days ago, my grandmother was seriously ill, and it was useless to ask famous doctors inside and outside Chang'an City for treatment. My parents, brothers and sisters are very grateful to the six ladies of your house, and so am I. My mother's family also has a sixth brother, who has always been stubborn and grotesque, but he is pure and filial by nature, and his grandmother has been sick for a long time, and he is also worried about it. A few days ago, he learned that his grandmother was well, and he went to visit, who knew that by chance, he had a glimpse of the six ladies of your mansion, and he liked it. cried and made trouble in front of the elders, saying that he just liked her, and he wanted to marry her in this life, and swore that as long as he achieved his wishes, he would change his ways in the future, be a good man, and be determined to make a career. The elders of the family were annoyed by him, and seeing that he was sincere, they couldn't bear to make him sad, so they cured him and obeyed him. So today, I have come to consult with you at the behest of my elders, and I wonder what Mrs. Mu thinks of this family business?"

I'm actually here to propose marriage again!

Gong's mind was empty, and everyone was stupid.

And as soon as Mrs. Wang's voice fell, several suppressed gasps sounded one after another behind the screen in the inner hall where they were - this was the person who was entangled by Steward Cao, and had no choice but to bring a group of people who proposed relatives to come over and secretly listen to Mu You and his party in the corner.

I heard the housekeeper mention that Mrs. Wang brought the official media over, and Mu You had a little expectation in her heart about the Wang family's proposal. Although I know that this matter is very, but there is no way, which father doesn't want his daughter to marry a wealthy family, and he can also share it with himself? But it's one thing to think so in his heart, he is a self-aware person, so he forced himself from the beginning not to think too much, and repeatedly told himself that he was thinking too much!

But now I find that where is he thinking too much? He clearly thinks less!

Where did Mrs. Wang come to propose marriage on behalf of the palace? She came to help the Cui family propose marriage!

The Cui family, the Cui family, who also belongs to the five surnames and Qiwang, and now the head of the family is still serving in Zhongshu Province, and is commonly known as the Zuo Xiang! And the sixth brother that Mrs. Wang is talking about now is her half-brother and Cui Gelao's biological son Cui Pu.

The so-called Cui family's retribution before Mu Jiaojiao, could it be this?

The reward was too great! He could barely bear it!

There are also Gu Yuan and others who can't bear it. Now their faces are white, and all kinds of thoughts are flying wildly in their minds, and there is a sentence that keeps flying in front of their eyes - Mu Liuniang is going to marry into the Cui family, and the Mu family is about to soar into the sky!

Seeing Gong's stunned face, Mrs. Wang was slightly stunned: "What, didn't Mu Liuniang mention this matter to you after she came back?"

"No!" Gong shook his head stupidly. Suddenly, her mind flashed, and she quickly shook her head a few more times, "Mrs. Wang, are you mistaken? As far as I know, the sixth lady of my family has been promised by my master to the Huang family, who is also a merchant." Although my lord is in business, he has always paid the most attention to the rules, and he can't do the trick of one woman and two families. ”

Mrs. Wang's eyes darkened when she heard this.

"Oh, there is such a thing, I haven't heard of Mu Liuniang's family affairs with the Huang family. However, how did I hear before that the sixth lady was originally married to Gu Jialangjun since childhood. But the Gu family suddenly repented, and was stunned to ruin the relationship with the sixth lady and change the second lady of your mansion? Dare to ask Mrs. Mu, what is going on?"

"Ah, this...... This is because the sixth lady is too weak to have children, and the Gu family has no choice, so they thought about replacing the candidate with a strong second lady. Speaking of which, my second lady is also a poor person, she is young, she has only been married for more than a year, and her husband has passed away! And the sixth lady, we have always been thinking about compensating her! The Gu family is now thinking about simply giving her a name and carrying her into the door with the second lady!" Gong Shi nodded at the corner of his eyes with a handkerchief, pretending to be sad.

The corners of Mrs. Wang's lips twitched slightly. "Didn't you say that you promised people to the Huang family, why do you say that it is the Gu family now? Who are you planning to marry the sixth lady?"

"Ah, I was wrong just now, it's the Gu family! Gu family! Madam, haven't you also heard, the sixth lady originally had a marriage contract with the Gu family Langjun, Gu Langjun is a person who values love, the sixth lady has a deep affection for her, how could he live up to her affection?" Gong immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly changed his words.

Mrs. Wang seized the flaw and continued to be aggressive: "Mrs. Mu, you say it again, is it the Huang family or the Gu family? If it is the Gu family, I would like to ask, since she promised the Gu family from the beginning, but now that the Gu family has clearly replaced the candidate with the second lady of your mansion, what kind of identity will the sixth lady marry? Doesn't the Gu family dislike her for not being able to have children, so even if she marries the past, how will the Gu family treat her?"

Gong had only been in a group of businessmen in the past. And because of Mu You's status as the richest man in Chang'an, most of those people flattered her, and only those who followed her words and helped her check and fill in the gaps with clever words, where had she ever been forced to be asked like this? So far, she can't even say a word.

"This, this...... The sixth lady and the second lady are sisters, and when they marry into the Gu family, the two sisters can also take care of each other, which is a good thing! And she can't give birth, isn't the second lady okay? In the future, the second lady's child will be her child, and it just saves her the trouble of not being able to have children. The Gu family has a grandson, so naturally they won't do anything to her. ”

"In other words, the second lady of your mansion is the main wife, and the sixth lady is only a concubine at most!" Mrs. Wang concisely summarized her words, and immediately let out a few sneers, "I don't know if the sixth lady knows about this matter?"

"Sooner or later, they will, will know. Gong whispered.

Madame Wang sneered again. Before he could speak, Mu You hurriedly ran out: "Mrs. Wang, please slow down! Since the little girl has dissolved the marriage contract with the Gu family, she will have nothing to do with the Gu family in the future." This matter of sisters serving a husband together is completely a joke, a non-existent thing! ”

I can't let the two women stay any longer, otherwise I don't know what stupid things Gong will say again. Although he knew that running out so rashly would expose the fact that he had just eavesdropped on the sidelines, he couldn't care about it anymore.

Seeing that it was him, Mrs. Wang finally put away the momentum she was full of, but her tone was still not very good: "Master Mu is a person who is rolling in the business sea, so he should know what to say and what not to say." Such a thing as retiring from relatives would have hurt the little lady enough, but now there are still rumors about sisters marrying together, sisters as wives and sisters as concubines, and the sixth lady may not be sad when she hears about it! She is already weak, and she is not sad to die when she learns about this? Even if you love other children again, she is also your daughter, and you should give her a meager favor or two. ”

"Mrs. Wang's lesson is that this matter is indeed our inconsiderate and let people with intentions take advantage of the loophole. But fortunately, the matter has not yet reached the ears of the sixth lady, and there is still room for redemption. We won't allow anything like that to happen again. Mu You hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistake, his ears red with shame.

Seeing that he had a good attitude, Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief. "That's it, this is your family affair, I shouldn't be in charge. It's just that Mu Liuniang is the benefactor of the Cui family, so I have to care more about her. By the way, I just listened to Mrs. Mu for a long time, but I still haven't figured it out - did the sixth lady promise someone? Listening to what she said that day, it was clear that after the Gu family withdrew from the family, the Mu family didn't say kiss to her anymore!"

Now that you already know it, what are you doing with so many questions before?Mu You said secretly in his heart.

"Of course I mean—" Gong was about to open his mouth again, but was glared back by Mu You.

Hasn't she reacted yet? What Madame Wang said just now was clearly deliberate, and she was deliberately trying to find an excuse to teach her a lesson! What does this mean? It shows that Madame Wang already knew everything before she came, and she knew everything at all! She only asked so many questions, and she was just deliberately trying to probe her bottom. And this stupid woman is really stupid to hand over all the bottoms, so that now they are passive, and he can't say anything more.

"Of course not. However, a few days ago, the Huang family came to propose, and Mu also felt that the Huang family was a good choice. He laughed.

"Is it? Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, since you chose Master Mu for the sixth lady, it must be a good family. Mrs. Wang smiled.

"Don't dare, don't dare, the Cui family is the real big family, and we can't catch up with it in our lifetime. Mu You replied helplessly.

Mrs. Wang smiled lightly: "Master Mu said that we are laughing, we are actually just using the ancestors' Yu Ze to fool around." ”

Although she said this, she immediately took the opportunity to say the marriage again. At the end, she said: "We also know that things are presumptuous, but it is really my brother who has not been enterprising. It's easy to have a little bit of motivation now, and the family cherishes it very much, so I have no choice but to come to ask the old man to be kind and promise the sixth lady to my brother. Otherwise, I'm afraid that he will be drunk and dreaming and dying in chaos next. ”

said this, it seems that if he doesn't agree to this family business, it will ruin Cui Liulangjun's way to fly and Huang Tengda, and cut off his lifelong future!

How could he say this refusal?

Rao is shrewd and sophisticated, and it is rare to face such a scene.

From the bottom of his heart, he wanted to marry Mu Jiaojiao to the Huang family, who was the right person. It's just that now facing the forced marriage of the Gu family and the Cao family, the little Huang family is obviously not the opponent of these two families. Now add a Mujia ...... If he forcibly marries Mu Jiaojiao to the Huang family, it will harm the Huang family! And the Cui family, this is indeed a good family. As early as behind the screen, when he heard Mrs. Wang's words of marriage, he was very moved. That's the Cui family, as long as their daughter marries in, even if they don't marry the Cui family's son, it's just a small steward, that's enough! What's more, now they are still proposing to marry Lang Jun of the Cui family? Looking at Mrs. Wang's attitude of teaching the Gong family just now, it is clear that she is standing up for Mu Jiaojiao. Doesn't this just show that Mrs. Wang and even the entire Cui family value Mu Jiaojiao very much, and can't bear to let her suffer the slightest grievance? This attitude is completely different from that of the Cao family. In this case, if she marries her daughter, she should not suffer much.

Therefore, he was a little excited, but also a little scared. Xinding is that with the protection of the Cui family, Mu Jiaojiao's life will be better in the future, and he and the Mu family will also follow the chicken dog to ascend to heaven, which is a good thing for the whole family. Scared, he is still worried about Mu Jiaojiao - he is not worried about her marrying into the Cao family, not to mention the Cui family, which is now more complicated and strict? If she really marries in, will she be able to adapt to it? Will those shrewd people look at her stupidly and deliberately bully her?

Seeing that he was so entangled, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but whisper: "Otherwise, you invite the sixth lady out and ask her opinion?"

"This ...... It's good. ”

Although Mu Jiaojiao is not very old, she has had her own ideas since she was a child. And in the matter of marriage, he is also willing to give his daughter a certain choice. After all, he was ashamed of her in the Gu family's family affairs before, and now that he talks about it, he naturally hopes to set a family that his daughter likes.

But if Mu Jiaojiao didn't agree to marry into the Cui family, even if he was desperately at the risk of offending the old mansion, he would definitely not nod and agree!

Thinking so in his heart, he urged the housekeeper to invite Mu Jiaojiao to come.

Originally, the housekeeper had already sent someone to invite Mu Jiaojiao. It's just that because Ruan Xiangju, where Mu Jiaojiao lives, is far away from the inner hall, she walks slowly, so she didn't arrive until this time.

After meeting Mrs. Wang, Mu You told her about the current situation, and then said to her daughter: "Jiaojiao, what do you think about this matter? Say whatever you think in your heart, don't worry about anything, Daddy will take care of everything!"

"Daddy, I do. Mu Jiaojiao said.

Mu You was stunned. "What did you say?"

"The Cui family's family affairs, I am willing. Mu Jiaojiao said again.

"Kyaukjiao, do you know what kind of family the Cui family is? and the Cui family's Liulangjun......

"I know. He's very good-looking, I've seen him. ”

Mu You was stunned, and she didn't seem to be able to figure out what the connection between her words and agreeing to the family affair was.

But Mrs. Wang laughed: "Since the sixth lady is willing, then can you nod your head Master Mu?" It's rare that my brother likes the sixth lady, and the sixth lady can also look down on him. The rarest thing in this world is that a pair of children have affection for each other, and we must not be the executioners who cut off their love threads, what do you say?"

"This ...... Madame Wang was right. Mu You was helpless, so he could only nod yes.

Mrs. Wang struck while the iron was hot: "Since Master Mu also thinks so, can we talk about marriage?" She smiled again, "Don't blame us for being anxious, it's really my brother who likes the sixth lady too much, and he has been thinking about it since he met the sixth lady, and he can't even sleep at night." If I can settle the family affairs today, he will definitely be very happy, and the elders of my mother's family will also be very happy. Especially her grandmother, she also wishes that the sixth lady would marry into the Cui family as soon as possible to be her granddaughter-in-law!"

What else can he say now? Actually, from the very beginning, things were not under his control, right? Mrs. Wang said that she was a guest at the door, but in fact, from the moment she stepped into this door, she had firmly grasped everything in the palm of her hand, step by step, step by step, so that all of them could only obediently follow the pace she had arranged.

The woman of the big family, the means are really extraordinary, and he, the richest man in Chang'an, has to be admired.

With a little helplessness, a little joy, and a little excitement in his heart, Mu You was about to nod, when someone came outside again.

"Master, Doctor Qiu is here, not to mention that there is something important to see your sixth lady, and now she is outside!"

Hearing the report from the little girl, Mu You's heart immediately raised again--why is it the sixth lady again! His sixth lady has been mentioned so many times today that his little heart begins to tremble when he casually hears it mentioned to him!

Just thinking about Doctor Qiu's personality, he breathed a sigh of relief again.

That person is his best friend, and the two have been friends for more than ten years. It's just that Dr. Qiu has an indifferent temperament, and he only pursues medical improvement all his life, and he is either treating people in Zhenri, or fiddling with his own medical books, or going up the mountain to collect medicine and study medicinal properties, and he has not come to see him for a long time, but the two often exchange letters. Otherwise, he would not have been able to ask Doctor Qiu to see Cao Shu with a letter.

Such a person, even if he really came to them, he must have something right, not someone like Gu Yuan and the Cao family. By the way, I can also take advantage of the arrival of Doctor Qiu to buffer things for the time being and see if there is a turnaround. Anyway, he still didn't want Mu Jiaojiao to marry the Cui family.

Thinking so, he nodded and asked someone to invite someone in.

It's just that after all, Mrs. Wang is a distinguished guest and a female dependent, so he left the Gong family and the housekeeper to entertain Mrs. Wang, and he took Mu Jiaojiao to see Doctor Qiu.

If he could, he also wanted to take the time to persuade Mu Jiaojiao to dispel that thought. Now the best way is not to marry anyone, Mu Jiaojiao simply pretended to be sick, he sent her to Yangzhou to recuperate for a period of time, and then took her back to discuss marriage when the limelight passed. Otherwise, it's okay to marry her directly to the south.

As soon as they met, Doctor Qiu caught up with him in three steps and two steps. "Brother Mu, Mu Liuniang, you're here, that's great! I have something important to tell you!"

As he spoke, he pushed a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy to Mu Jiaojiao: "Brother Mu, Mu Liuniang, how about you look at my son?"

Mu You didn't know why. "Brother Qiu, what do you mean by this?"

Mu Jiaojiao looked at the young man carefully. "His facial features are very exquisite, his demeanor is outstanding, and he is a rare beautiful boy. What's even more rare is that he has an extraordinary bearing, and he must be a good man with both talent and appearance in the future. ”

Divine Doctor Qiu heard this, and his face glowed red. "Then, Mu Liuniang, how do you think he compares to Cui Liulangjun?"

In terms of temperament and talent, he is far superior to Cui Liulangjun. ”

"In that case, Mu Liuniang, why don't you consider considering the puppy, he is the most suitable husband for you!"

Rumble!

When Mu You heard this, a thunderclap exploded in his head, and he was almost torn to pieces.

He hurriedly stepped forward to separate Mu Jiaojiao from the young man, and protected his daughter behind him. "Wait, Brother Qiu, you make it clear to me first, what do you mean?"
