urge Zhao to marry

Chapter 25

Meng San finished all he could say, but found that Ms. Mu looked thoughtful, not as satisfied as he imagined.

Mu Zhaozhao felt that he was talking about the people and things of the Meng family now, which was too general. When he arrived in the capital, he would be able to find out those things.

Now she felt that there was no rush for her mother to remarry, she decided to correct her mistakes, and when Meng Yu saw Yu Wanniang again, there would be a big light bulb next to her.

Mu Zhaozhao clings to his mother and never leaves her.

Poor Meng Yu finally made a private agreement with Yu Wanniang, and now the two are in love with each other, wishing to stick together, but now that there is an extra Mu Zhaozhao, it really makes Meng Yu's teeth itch with hatred .

It's a pity that he can't keep a straight face yet, and he has to talk about some interesting things about the capital to coax the little girl.

However, he also took this opportunity to remind the mother and daughter that the capital is too big to live in.

Throwing a few stones at random in Sijiu City hits five people, and one is an official, three have relatives who are officials, and one is a businessman.

Even the uncles and aunts who set up stalls on the roadside, their sons may work in rich families, and their daughters may be the maids of a certain lady...

Mu Zhaozhao understood in no time, he just wanted to remind them that there are many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, and their roots are deep and leafy through marriage.

"Of course, both of you mother and daughter are well-educated and good-natured people, it is impossible to embarrass others." However, after he finished speaking, his tone changed: "If someone really bullies you, you don't have to bear it. If something goes wrong, I will do my best to protect you.”

After hearing this, Yu Wanniang glanced at him shyly and timidly. The man who would stand up for her really became more masculine the more he looked at him.

Meng Yu was swept away by her affectionate and beautiful eyes, and his heart thumped immediately, wishing to knock out the unsightly cheap daughter, so that he could have a flirt with her.

Mu Zhaozhao didn't want to look at their eyebrows anymore, so he pretended to be cute and asked, "Uncle Meng, are there many dudes in the capital? Are there many bullies?"

"..." Meng Yu really wanted to throw this spoiled little girl out to feed the fish, but he still withdrew his eyes and coughed softly: "There are dudes everywhere, but today's sages are wise, my Daqing Dynasty has produced many virtuous and good people over the years, and I will protect you." There are five city soldiers and horses in charge of law and order, as well as the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Dali Temple, and there is also Jing Zhaoyi who has dedicated himself, so the law and order in the capital has been very good these years."

Like the Meng family, his fifth uncle is the head of the Ministry of Punishment. Although he is only a fifth-rank official, he still has some power.

Mu Zhaozhao listened very carefully. She might marry in the capital and stay in the capital for the rest of her life. It is necessary to know more about the affairs of the capital.

And Yu Wanniang also thought about the same as her daughter, so she asked some questions about public security and prices.

Although she came to join Mo Ru, she may want to remarry now, so she also wants to buy a shop or a house or a small village first, so that not only can she be her daughter's dowry in the future, but also her husband's dowry is not allowed. meddling.

Then she would like to exchange money for visible property, which is more affordable.

...

When he finally arrived in the capital, Meng Yu asked Meng San to keep an eye on the matter of the medicinal materials. He hired three carriages first, took the luggage of Yu Wanniang's mother and daughter, and accompanied them to visit Jiang's house.

When Mo Ru wrote to Yu Wanniang before, she also gave her address in detail, which was in Baishun Hutong, Dongcheng.

Meng Yu lives in Qingyu Street in Xicheng. Although it is the same capital city, the distance is not too far, but it takes more than half an hour to get here by carriage.

However, he has been to Dongcheng a few times, and he has heard of Baishun Hutong.

Therefore, it would be reassuring for him to lead the way himself, and it would be convenient for him to visit next time.

In addition, I also want to see if the Jiang family is reliable.

If it's unreliable, he won't worry about keeping the woman he wants to marry.

Mu Zhaozhao sat for a long time, and when he heard the bustle outside, he couldn't help but quietly lifted a corner of the curtain curiously, looking at the spacious bluestone streets outside, the shops on both sides were mostly gray tiles, white walls and red doors, selling antiques Shops for calligraphy, brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, as well as various dim sum shops, fabric rouge shops, jewelry shops, restaurants, etc., really dazzled her.

She motioned for her mother to look out as well, and whispered in her ear: "Mother, this is much more lively than our hometown, do you think we look like country people coming to the city, and everything we see is new?"

"It's just you talking." When she came to the unfamiliar capital, Yu Wanniang was also very nervous, but now she heard her daughter's interruption, and she felt much calmer: "This is the place where our sage lives. Come, naturally it is the best place."

Otherwise, scholars everywhere would not consider coming to the capital to become an official as their goal in life.

She still remembered that when Mu Youde was young, he said with great ambition that he would come to the capital to take the exam in the future, maybe he would be able to win the exam, find an official position, and settle in the capital in the future.

As a result, he was still trying to climb up in the yamen, but he brought his daughter to the capital.

The carriage walked unhurriedly for more than an hour, and then the driver stopped and said to the guests inside: "Master, Baishun Hutong has arrived."

Meng Yu was sitting in another carriage. Hearing what the coachman said, he lifted the curtain and jumped down to the carriage where Yu Wanniang's mother and daughter were sitting. He opened the curtain and said with a smile, "You guys sit for a while, I'll go first." Ask about it."

When Yu Wanniang thought about being separated from him, she also looked at him with some reluctance, and said softly, "Then I will trouble you."

Wu Dagui also followed Meng Yu cleverly. Meng Yu handed him a purse, and then whispered a few words to him.

Wu Dagui kept nodding his head to accept the instruction, and according to what he said, he came to the door not far away, saw the two young men guarding the door talking, took out two silver peanuts and stuffed them into their hands, and asked with a smile: " Excuse me, two little brothers, we are here to visit distant relatives, may I ask where is Lord Jiang Qing's residence?"

In fact, he felt sorry for the Yinhuasheng he gave away.

You can tell that it is solid when you weigh it, and it costs about two renminbi.

If you ask for directions in your hometown, a few copper coins are enough. Asking for directions in this capital is almost half a tael of silver.

His Mandarin was learned with Meng San and the others on the road, and his speaking was not very standard, with a local accent.

However, the two young men still understood, and they reservedly backed down a few times before accepting Yin Huasheng. Among them, the older young man said enthusiastically: "Master Jiang's house is not far in front, let the young man Five will take you there."

The younger boy walked forward first, sat on the shaft of the chariot with winking eyes, and said to the driver: "Brother, just keep going."
