258. Suzhou looking for Wan'er
After a while, Shao Yuanjie began to order a small Taoist priest to add water to the paper basin, and he lit a fire.
Zhu Houxi saw that after the fire had been burning for a long time, the water in the basin had boiled, and the paper had not leaked, so he said to Mingxi on the side:
"The national teacher is amazing!"
Mingxi smiled slightly and didn't reply.
After a while, Shao Yuanjie came over and said to Emperor Zhu Houxi:
"Your Majesty, do you look at the purple microstar like today?"
Zhu Houxi glanced at the purple microstar in the sky, and it was really dim, so he asked:
"Could it be that Ziwei Emperor Star is really in trouble?"
Shao Yuanjie replied:
"Yes!"
Then he pointed to a star with a slight flash on the side of Zi Weixing and said:
"Your Majesty, that bright star is the Buddha star I said will affect the purple micro star!"
Zhu Houxi asked:
"Why does the national teacher say that this heart is the heart of a Buddha?"
Shao Yuanjie said:
"Your Majesty, you see that star sometimes flashes and sometimes turns yellow, doesn't it look very much like a Buddhist relic?"
Zhu Houxi replied:
"It's a bit like that!"
Shao Yuanjie said:
"Your Majesty, you see that this Buddha star lives in the Northwest Realm, and there may be people in the Northwest Realm who are in the Northwest Realm!"
Zhu Houxi hurriedly asked:
"Then, according to the opinion of the national teacher, could it be that the monks of Wutai Mountain in the northwest will make trouble?"
Shao Yuanjie shook his head.
Zhu Houxi asked again:
"Who could it be?"
Shao Yuanjie said:
"Your Majesty, take a closer look at whether the Buddha Star is like a white lotus again?"
Zhu Houxi immediately said:
"Could it be that the national teacher is talking about the White Lotus Sect?"
Shao Yuanjie replied:
"That's what I'm guessing!"
Then he said:
"Your Majesty should have heard of it, the White Lotus Sect has now been transformed into the Maitreya Sect, and it has already spread all over our Great Heaven!"
Zhu Houxi suddenly clenched his fists at this time and said:
"Indeed, I almost forgot about this Maitreya Sect, they did help me defend against foreign enemies at the beginning, I tolerated them, they actually dare to create a position that threatens me now, I must find a way to get rid of this Maitreya Sect!"
At this time, Mingxi came over and took Zhu Houxi's hand and said:
"I hope the emperor will calm down, the national teacher does have some ways, but the concubine feels that the national teacher is a little exaggerated tonight!"
Zhu Houxi said to Mingxi:
"Aifei, this is the will of heaven, the national teacher is a god descending from heaven, how can you slander him at will!"
After hearing this, Shao Yuanjie walked over with a somewhat unhappy face and said to Zhu Houxi:
"Your Majesty, I think the concubine may have a fetus in her womb, and she likes to think nonsense, so the emperor should take the concubine back to rest earlier!"
Zhu Houxi said:
"Then the national teacher, you are busy!"
Then he took Mingxi back to the Qianqing Palace where he lived.
After Mingxi and Zhu Houyu returned to the palace together, Mingxi closed the palace door and said to Zhu Houxi:
"Your Majesty, I will also do the things of the National Teachers Association!"
Zhu Houxi smiled and said:
"Concubine, you don't need to say that I know everything, in fact, I will too!"
Then he himself put a piece of paper filled with water on the candle and roasted it, and said:
"Aifei, you see that I won't leak it like this!"
Then he made a cloud of smoke to block the light, causing the light to blur instantly.
Zhu Houxi asked:
"Aifei, you must know what the reason is, right?"
Mingxi replied:
"It's just that the dew and smoke at night make the starlight naturally dim, and there is a possibility that it is about to rain from the sky!"
Zhu Houxi replied:
"Aifei, you know so much!"
Mingxi asked:
"Since you know the emperor's tricks, why don't you expose them?"
Zhu Houxi replied:
"Some things don't have to be said to be broken, besides, I trust the national teacher and I also have my intentions, you don't have to be overhearted, I know these things!"
Mingxi asked again:
"Then how are you going to deal with the Maitreya Sect that the national teacher said tonight?"
Zhu Houxi replied:
"It's time for the Maitreya Sect to suppress and suppress, Concubine Ai, let's rest first, I'm tired. ”
After Du Buyi and Fu Tianchen left the palace, they simply went to Suzhou together.
Although Du Bu has not fully let go of his feelings for Mingxi, he has to try his best to keep it in the depths of his heart now.
After arriving in Suzhou, Du Bu did not rush back to his former house to have a look, but came to Wan'er's home in Suzhou with Fu Tianchen, after all, he also promised Wan'er that he would come to her when he returned to Suzhou.
After inquiring about the people in Murong Mansion, they learned from the mouth of the subordinates that Wan'er's father, Murong Chi and Wan'er, were meeting guests in the mansion at this time, so the two of them could only wait in the garden first.
After a while, Wan'er and his father walked to the garden, and after Du Yiyi and Fu Tianchen saw the two of them, they hurriedly came to greet and salute.
I saw Murong Chi come over and take a closer look at Du Yiyi, and said to Wan'er on the side:
"Daughter, is this the one you told me about Du Forget?"
Wan'er lowered her head, and suddenly replied a little shyly:
"Yes, Daddy!"
At this time, Murong Chi asked Du Yiyi:
"I heard, do you want to come to propose to my daughter Wan'er today?"
Du was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Wan'er on the side, and didn't know how to reply for a while.
At this time, Murong Chi said again:
"I think Du Gongzi, you don't have any conditions in your family now, if you really want to marry us Wan'er, you must join our Murong family, think about it, I still have something to do!"
Then walked back.
Wan'er came over at this time, glared at Du Yiyi, and said:
"Brother Du, you should understand what my father means, right?"
Du didn't forget to think in his heart, he just agreed to Wan'er to see him, but now suddenly Wan'er and his father said that he would let him come to the door, and he didn't know what to do, he couldn't be this door-to-door son-in-law, and he was afraid of Wan'er's heart if he refused.
At this time, Fu Tianchen on the side said:
"Miss Wan'er, I think you can talk about these things later!"
Wan'er replied:
"But I told my father, if it drags on any longer, my father will probably have to marry me to someone else!"
Du did not forget to ask:
"Why did Wan'er say that?"
Wan'er said angrily:
"Brother Du, do you know who the guest who came to my house today?"
Du did not forget to ask:
"Who is it?"
Wan'er replied:
"The guests who came to my house today are Zhu Jiangnan, the leader of the Salt Gang, and Zhu Qingmang, his bastard son, and they also brought a bunch of dowry gifts today, saying that they came to my father to propose marriage!"
Du did not forget to ask again:
"Then your father agreed?"
Wan'er replied:
"With me on the side, how can my father agree, but if my father doesn't agree to Zhu Jiangnan to propose marriage to his son Zhu Qingmang, I'm afraid that there will be an accident in the future for the transportation of goods from all over our country, after all, Zhu Jiangnan's salt gang has a monopoly on the entire Jiangnan Cao Yun!"
Du did not forget to say:
"This Zhu Jiangnan is not here to propose, but to force marriage, right?"
Wan'er replied:
"So I think you can go and temporarily promise my father to join my family now, so that I can let my father refuse Zhu Jiangnan and tell him that I have a marriage match, so that they will also know the difficulty and retreat!"
At this time, Fu Tianchen said:
"Wan'er, you're too naïve to think about, with Zhu Qingmang's rogue character, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out if you stick to it!"
Wan'er hurriedly said again:
"How do you know if you don't try, Brother Du, I just want you to pretend to marry me, after Zhu Jiangnan and the others leave, you are at will, are you not willing to help me?"
Du didn't forget to look at Wan'er, who seemed to have a pleading expression, and said:
"Okay, but I'm just helping Wan'er, I'm not really in your house!"
Wan'er's face changed suddenly, and she said with a little joy:
"That's it, I'll go tell my dad to go!"
After a while, Wan'er ran back again, and said to Du Buyi and Fu Tianchen:
"My dad asked me to take you there!"
Then he took Du Zhiyi's arm and went to the guest hall.
After entering the guest hall, Zhu Qingmang clenched his fists and stood up as soon as he saw Du Forgetful, and then saw that Wan'er was actually holding Du Forgetful's hand, and directly rushed over angrily and punched Du Forgetful, Du Forgetfulness immediately pushed Wan'er away, slapped Zhu Qingmang, and beat Zhu Qingmang back several steps.
At this time, Zhu Jiangnan on the side hurriedly got up and grabbed his son Zhu Qingmang, and then said:
"Qingmang must not be rude to Brother Du Xian!"
Then he walked over and said to Du Yi:
"Who is the person I said Murong old friend is talking about, it turns out to be Du Tanhua!"
Du Buyi also smiled and replied:
"I wish the helper, we haven't seen each other in years!"
Zhu Jiangnan smiled, and reached over to shake hands with Du Buxing, and Du Buyi also stretched out his hand.
Unexpectedly, this Zhu Jiangnan took advantage of the handshake to exert his internal force on himself, Du did not forget to feel that he was also lucky to fight against Zhu Jiangnan, and the result was that the internal strength of the two was equal at this time, and Zhu Jiangnan saw that it was difficult to win for a while, so he first took his hand back and said to Du Yifu:
"Du Tanhua, I didn't expect that after so many years, your internal strength has grown a lot!"
Du did not forget to laugh and replied:
"I wish you the helper, you might as well let it go!"
At this time, Murong Chi said:
"Since the two of you are chatting so happily, then the little girl and I will go to the kitchen first to order some wine and food, and we will entertain a few distinguished guests together!"
Zhu Jiangnan replied:
"Okay, Du Tanhua and I are also old acquaintances!"
After Murong Chi and Wan'er went out, Zhu Jiangnan asked Du Yiyi:
"Didn't you hear that Du Tanhua you have married the daughter of the two ministers of the current dynasty, Shangshu Xishu and Xia Yan, why did Du Tanhua fall in love with Miss Wan'er of the Murong family again?"
Du did not forget to reply:
"I used to marry some wives and concubines, but now they are all gone, and I don't forget that although I am down, I am still less than thirty and have no children, so it is reasonable to have another wife at this time!"
Zhu Jiangnan said:
"Yes, but my son Qingmang has never been married, and now he happens to fall in love with Miss Wan'er, so I came to propose to my old friend Murong on his behalf!"
Then he said to Zhu Qingmang on the side:
"Don't come here to apologize to Du Tanhua!"
Zhu Qingmang lowered his head, with a reluctant expression on his face, and said to Du Yi:
"Brother Du, I was impulsive just now!"
At this time, Zhu Jiangnan said to Zhu Qingmang:
"You are not qualified to be called Brother Du, you should be called Uncle Du, do you know?"
Zhu Qingmang immediately shouted again in frustration:
"Uncle Du!"
Du Yi smiled and replied:
"It's okay, people will be impulsive for a while, I don't blame you!"
Then he said to Zhu Jiangnan:
"I wish the helper, if you let Qingmang call me uncle, it will make me look old!"
Zhu Jiangnan replied:
"Du Tanhua, you and the old man have been through hardships together in Wudang several times, of course you are Qingmang's elders in terms of seniority, and it is not an exaggeration to let him call you uncle!"
Then he said to his son Zhu Qingmang:
"Since I apologized to your Uncle Du, let's sit back!"
Fu Tianchen didn't know when he had quietly left the guest hall and slept in the garden pavilion.
Just as Wan'er passed by, she came over, woke up Fu Tianchen, and asked:
"Fu Gongzi, why didn't you tell me when you were sleepy, you fell asleep in the garden alone?"
At this time, Fu Tianchen was suddenly startled and said:
"What you talk about has nothing to do with me, of course I have to find a clean place to sleep!"
Wan'er then said:
"Won't you help your brother Du?"
Fu Tianchen replied:
"I can help with other things, how can I help with such things as marriage?"
Wan'er then said:
"I just inquired, my father seems to want to stay here to live in our house for a few days, you want to find a way to help me cure him in the next few days, you Brother Du, I don't think I can count on him!"
