urge Zhao to marry

Chapter 74 Gossip 3
It is said that being in the rivers and lakes is involuntary.

Although there are no swords and swords above the court, it is more thrilling than those above the rivers and lakes, and every step is calculated.

Although Wen Shangshu is only nearly forty years old, his temples are already turning white, and the wrinkles between his brows are even more obvious.

In fact, he is only six years older than Meng Yu, but standing with the young Meng Yu, he is almost like a father and son.

"When the honored guests come to the door, the humble house is full of brilliance."

At the beginning of the Xu Dynasty, Meng Yu saw Wen Shangshu who had been visiting overnight, and he was pleasantly surprised: "Wen Shangshu came this time because of the marriage between Amu and Miss Wen."

Meng Yu welcomed him to the study and sat down. After the servant served tea and left, Meng Yu began to praise him: "I heard that the young lady is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the housekeeper and director are also good at it. Come back, just boast that Miss Wen is beautiful, dignified and well-educated in front of me."

He wouldn't blush even when he lied, but instead had a sincere look on his face: "Amu, he's just not good at expressing, but he's following the mission now, just to make a contribution, and when he marries the young lady in the future, the reward from the sage will be the same. Can add more honor."

Even though Wen Shangshu had a thick skin, he blushed a little when he heard his words, but it was a pity that the matter had come to this point, and he had no choice but to say about the divorce anyway.

"...my little girl wanted to pick cherries in person to be filial to her elders, but she didn't expect to be targeted by someone who wanted to set her on fire and murder her. Prince Qing rushed into the sea of ​​fire to save Yi'er. Now that I have a skin-to-skin relationship, I can only do it with a thick skin. Retired."

Wen Shangshu also expressed his compensation: "The eldest daughter of my second brother's family is two years younger than my unfilial daughter, but her appearance and behavior are not inferior to my unfilial daughter. If you don't mind, I would like to marry Qin Jin again. ..."

Even though Wen Shangshu was indeed a scheming person, he never thought that the man behind the scenes was Meng Yu who was about to praise his daughter to the sky.

After he knew what had happened before, he immediately sent someone to ride a horse to investigate the accident place carefully, and then he went to discuss with his second brother himself, and then he came to Meng's house.

But what Mr. Meng and the others were looking at before was not only that Miss Wen was quite famous, but more importantly, they wanted to use the strong support of the Yue family to win the position of the son, and they could also compete with the two elders of the Xuanping Hou Mansion. The cowardly headed mistress.

What's more, Meng Yu and the others now know that Miss Wen has a fiancé and is clingy with other men, which makes them unwilling and unwilling to choose another Miss Wen for Qin Mu.

"Well, how could such a thing happen?" After hearing this, Meng Yu looked deeply shocked: "Ah Mu is not here now, I don't know what he thinks, I'm afraid I have to wait for him to come back. "

He sighed with regret again: "Hey, it really took a long time. Wen Shangshu, you also know the relationship between Prince Qing and Amu, and you can be regarded as cousins. Now that something like this happened, you said you will see each other more often in the future." Embarrassing!"

Wen Shangshu knew in his heart that Prince Qing's purpose of getting close to his daughter was not pure, but now that the deal is done, what else can he say?

All he can do is to let Meng Yu see his sincerity: "This is an unfilial daughter of the government who has let Qin Mu down, and she still looks to Haihan."

But even though my second brother is only a fifth-rank official, he is good-natured and kind, and his eldest niece is also extremely capable. I originally thought that Meng Yu would agree, but now I know from what he said that he is not willing.

Wen Shangshu could only speak again: "This official sees that Qin Mu is young and promising, and it is unreasonable for Xuan Ping Hou's delay in establishing a son. I will persuade Xuan Ping Hou to establish a son as soon as possible."

He looked at Meng Yu again and said, "I didn't mention this before, because I thought Qin Mu would soon be my son-in-law. If I mentioned it, it would appear that I'm partial to my son-in-law."

"I didn't expect my unfilial daughter to have no fate with Qin Mu. If I say a few words of justice for my nephew Qin, no one will think that I don't distinguish between public and private."

After finishing speaking, Wen Shangshu himself felt aggrieved.

If it wasn't for his daughter being dazed by Prince Qing and doing such a stupid thing, how could he be in this situation?
If his daughter marries Qin Mu, by helping Qin Mu secure the position of son, Qin Mu will treat his daughter with respect as a guest and be polite to him, his father-in-law.

But now I have to rush to help others.

What's more, Wen Shangshu really thinks that Qin Mu will be better than Prince Qing in the future.

Now that his daughter has lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame seeds, he feels very irritable when he thinks about it.

Hearing this, Meng Yu hesitated for a while, but he still didn't dare to agree, but his tone was much more gentle: "I think it's because the eldest lady and A Mu have no fate, but now that A Mu has grown up, I don't care about such a big event." This uncle can no longer agree on his behalf."

"But don't worry, my lord. When he comes back, I will persuade him well."

Meng Yu knew that the officials would be suspicious, if he agreed immediately, he might wonder if he didn't want to continue this marriage long ago.

Now he has shown that he is very moved by his proposal, but when he heard the news all of a sudden, he didn't dare to agree immediately.

Whether it's attitude or tone, it's just right.

After the two exchanged a few more polite greetings, Meng Yu sent Wen Shangshu off in person.

At this time, the bookshelf against the wall in his study turned around, and Master Meng and Mrs. Meng also came out of the secret room inside.

Mrs. Meng was very angry: "Just Miss Wenfu dares to say that she is a scholarly family, knowledgeable and sensible? This person who is not comfortable in the house dares to say that she is quite famous? And the Qing family is also deceiving people too much!"

Master Meng comforted her calmly: "You don't have to be angry, you know people and face but don't know what you're thinking. It's better to know Miss Wen's shortcomings now than to find out after they got married."

"You have to give your grandson a cuckold, don't you?"

Mrs. Meng glared at him angrily: "Didn't you think that Miss Wen was good at the beginning to facilitate such a marriage?"

Wen Shangshu agreed to this marriage because when he was just a small official, his life was accidentally saved by Mrs. Meng.

But Mr. Meng also knew that his wife was being unreasonable, so he confessed his mistake very skillfully: "It's just my blindness. Don't be angry, let your son see the joke."

Anyway, it's better for the wife to scold herself to vent her anger than to be unhappy in her heart.

It's a pity that at this age, I still have to take the blame for my father.

It's okay to be a scapegoat, but my father is not here now, and I don't know how filial I am, so I always scold myself, saying that I am not a filial son.

He was really wronged.

"You still know it's a joke, so you don't want to be laughed at by your son, but my poor grandson will be laughed at by others..."

When Meng Yu sent Wen Shangshu back into the carriage, he heard his mother's voice admonishing his father, and he instantly felt in his heart that it was better to be his own mother Wan, when he was never so unreasonable.

To save face for his father, he coughed lightly outside... Unfortunately, the people inside didn't hear it, so he could only cough hard twice.

Now, it was quiet inside, and Meng Yu went in: "Father and Mother, it's getting late, you go back and rest first?"

Master Meng didn't want his son to see his jokes in vain, so he said calmly: "I heard about the family, you can go and talk to your grandfather tomorrow."

Anyway, this is definitely not a good thing, the old man must be in a bad mood after hearing this.

I don't want to go to the training again.

...

The secret mission that Qin Mu and his colleagues set out with their boss this time is to encircle and suppress the spies of the enemy country.

But the other party is indeed a master, and is good at hiding. It took more than 20 days to track down the other party's lair.

After a fight, Qin Mu and the others still wiped out most of the opponent's people by relying on their numbers.

However, the leader of the opponent was very vigilant, and at the last moment he even ran away from the secret passage with a few henchmen.

Qin Mu and the others also pursued closely, all the way to a small village near the cliff.

It's already the scorching heat of June. Everyone's clothes are soaked in sweat and they can wring out water.

Especially the mountain roads in the village here are narrow and the terrain is steep. They were about to catch up with them. The other party took the opportunity to kidnap two women who came out to wash clothes and forced them to retreat.

Commander Zhao narrowed his eyes, and said expressionlessly: "If you can't capture him alive, then kill him without mercy!"

Qin Mu took a deep breath, heard the desperate cries of the two women, and saw them trembling, he couldn't bear to do it.

If it was on the battlefield, he would not show mercy to the enemy, but those two women were helpless women, and they were still citizens of Daqing, so he couldn't ignore their safety.

The other two colleagues also couldn't bear to strike for a while, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, hoping that someone else would strike first.

Commander Zhao looked at his three most elite confidantes and sneered coldly: "If you hesitate any longer, when they enter the village, many innocent people will die because of it! Do it!"

"Yes!" Qin Mu agreed first, and rushed forward holding the sword. Seeing that the knife in the opponent's hand was about to wipe the woman's neck, he threw the sword in his hand forcefully, forcing the opponent to use the knife to separate his own sword, He has rushed over like a flying eagle.

The four of them were able to catch up, naturally because their lightness skills and stamina were very good, so they could keep up with the three in front.

Qin Mu drew out the soft sword at his waist and wrestled with others again.

In the end, it was Qin Mu who was slightly better. He cut off the opponent's arm holding the knife with his sword. When he wanted to step forward to restrain the opponent, the opponent gave him a fierce look, and then took out the dagger with his other hand to kill himself.

Qin Mu saw that his colleagues were about to win, so he didn't step forward. He took advantage of the situation and tore off the belt of the dead man on the ground, trying to wrap it around the wound on his waist.

"Big, my lord!" The woman he rescued said timidly: "The little girl has herbs at home, should my lord go over there and treat the wound?"

Qin Mu continued to treat his wound, but refused without raising his head: "No, you can go back!"
