urge Zhao to marry

Chapter 90
However, Su's face blushed rarely, and he made a blessing ceremony coyly: "Daughter-in-law is wrong."

Seeing her radiant face, Mrs. Meng knew that the husband and wife must be harmonious yesterday.

But she is also too unsteady, like herself, didn't my husband also be old and unruly last night?But do you show everything on your face like her?

Mrs. Meng didn't want the second daughter-in-law's gaffe to make Mu Zhaozhao, who was staying in her boudoir, see something: "Okay, you go with me, seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, you have to give the gift, and the house has to prepare it." list everything for me."

Now that the eldest daughter-in-law has also come in, she doesn't want to pressure the second daughter-in-law anymore, otherwise how can she manage the house after a hundred years between herself and her husband?Socializing?

You can't count on Jiahe's daughter-in-law for everything, right?

"Yes, mother, I'll go right away." Su Shi laughed even more happily, thinking that it would be good for her sister-in-law to leave, so that her mother-in-law could see that she was virtuous and sensible, and finally she was relieved to leave the affairs of the inner house to herself.

The Su family, who thought she had got her wish, now looked at Mu Zhaozhao much more pleasingly, and smiled at her specially: "Zhaozhao, your mother is not here, so just tell Second Aunt what you need."

Mu Zhaozhao really understood why the second aunt was so happy, but she shouldn't know these things, so she could only obediently agree.

Anyway, someone like Second Aunt who can show a happy expression is more at ease than someone who can't see the expression.

At this moment, Prince Qing was already outside the capital, and he was also sitting in the carriage, waiting for someone to come.

He was originally unwilling to help Mr. Meng. After all, if any clues were found about this matter, they would be in trouble.

And even if he did something against someone, he wanted Qin Mu's life even more, so that all the problems could be solved easily.

But what his mother said made sense, Qin Mu himself was good at martial arts, and they didn't dare to act rashly in the capital.

They were afraid that Qin Mu would not die, but instead they would startle the snake.

Even if he doesn't want to admit it, Qin Mu is still an official, even if he kills Qin Mu, he is afraid that they will be suspected.

After all, they are the biggest beneficiaries of Qin Mu's death.

In the end, it was Mrs. Qing who persuaded him that Meng Yu would pass through many remote places on the way to Anyang, even if something happened to them, it could be mistaken for the bandits nearby, and they would not be suspected.

Who told them to go to Anyang quietly?
And when something happened to Meng Yu, there would be turmoil in the Meng family, and they would have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

But now, the parents of both Prince Qing and Miss Wen have acquiesced in their affairs, and now they have not proposed to withdraw their marriage, they just want to wait for Qin Mu to speak first, so that the Wen family will not be offended.

And the marriage between them is not in a hurry, and they want to discuss it after a while after they retire.

Prince Qing felt in his heart that while Meng Yu was traveling far away, it would be better to send them on the road first. Maybe the old man of the Meng family would follow in a hurry when he heard the bad news, and then take the opportunity to cause civil strife in the Meng family, and then get rid of Master Meng. No one is helping Qin Mu with advice, so it's not difficult to deal with him.

Of course, Prince Qing would not let his own people do it, but through other channels, he pretended that he and Meng Yu were business enemies, and spent 3000 taels of silver to invite desperadoes in the world to do it.

In fact, most of the current people in Jianghu are recruited by the government. Generals, thousands of households, and white households are all good mixes. Those who are almost mixed can only go to Wucheng Bingmasi or Yamen to seek a fast arresting position. , anyway, it can be regarded as a public meal.

But there are also some Jianghu people who have committed crimes and are not accepted by the government, and they think they have martial arts skills, and they are not willing to do the hard life of ordinary people, so they simply use other people's money to do things for others. .

However, they didn't dare to do anything in the capital or in some famous big cities, they only dared to ambush outside.

If this is done, you can still go to the employer to get the rest of the money.

If it doesn't work, it's easier to escape without worrying about being caught by the officers and soldiers.

Prince Qing waited for more than half an hour before the guards beside him came to have a conversation: "My lord, they have been targeted by ghosts."

"Well, then let's go back." Prince Qing felt sorry for the 3000 taels he paid: "I hope they won't disappoint this prince."

They are sincere that the two generations of Anbo Mansion are not good at management, and now there is a shop facing the street that is rented out to others to open a restaurant, which can earn nearly 600 taels of silver every year.

In addition, there is a courtyard with two entrances in Dongcheng, which is now rented out for people to live in, and it can also collect nearly a hundred taels of silver every year.

There is also a small Zhuangzi with a hundred acres of land outside the capital, which raises some livestock such as cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, and can earn four or five hundred taels of silver every year.

These incomes are enough to maintain Cheng'anbo Mansion's expenditure for a year.

The other is the silver that the imperial court gives them to Cheng Anbo every year, 1000 taels per year.

Also, Uncle Qing in the Ministry of Punishment, after doing some errands for others, can earn thousands or even tens of thousands of taels from those invisible silver.

There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. Even if the current emperor hates the corruption and bribery of officials at the bottom, but when the water is clear, there are no fish, and sometimes he can only turn a blind eye.

And old fritters like Uncle Qing don't dare to be too greedy for fear of attracting people's attention, but they can get some benefits.

The 6000 taels of silver that they hired to kill people this time was their income for more than half a year. Can Prince Qing not feel bad?
For example, he is not in a hurry to marry Miss Wen because the things to be hired are not ready yet.

After all, the betrothal gift he gave Miss Wen couldn't be much worse than that of Qin Mu. Mrs. Qing said that it was really costly for him to marry a daughter-in-law, and he used all the good things accumulated in the mansion over the years to get it.

Therefore, Prince Qing, who had never worried about money, now sincerely hoped that the people on Gui Jianchou's side would kill Meng Yu, and then they would not be ordered to come back to get the remaining 3000 taels of silver.

...

Qin Mu came to Meng Mansion on the afternoon of the third day of August.

He had been recovering from his injuries for more than ten days before he went to Xishan Camp again.

Now when you come to the Meng Mansion, even if the person you want to see the most is not your great-grandfather, you have to pay him a respect first.

When Old Master Meng saw him, he felt his pulse first, then stretched out his hand to support his gray beard and said, "You are young after all, and you are recovering well."

"How is grandfather?" Qin Mu also regards old man Meng as an elder he respects, and it is thanks to his great grandfather that he went to find old Xuan Pinghou that he can live until now.

He presented a wooden box he brought with him: "This time, the Holy One rewarded me with a painting and calligraphy of Mr. Wu, and I sent it to you."

Old Mr. Meng was delighted when he heard this. He actually doesn't like reading medical books very much now. Apart from writing his own experience in practicing medicine for the sake of future generations, his biggest hobby is appreciating calligraphy and painting.

In particular, Wu An's paintings are mostly majestic and majestic, giving people a visual shock.

Therefore, it is rare for him to urge his great-grandson who gave him a gift: "Then what are you still doing? Give it to me quickly?"

"Yes."

Qin Mu took the calligraphy and painting out of the wooden box for him, and when he was about to spread them out, the old man Meng became anxious again: "Oh, don't move, you don't know how precious this painting is? It was broken by rough hands But how come."

He himself took the painting in his hand at a speed that didn't meet his age, and then chased away people in disgust: "What are you doing here? Don't disturb the old man admiring the painting, hurry up! Hurry up!"

Qin Mu is also used to his great-grandfather's behavior of crossing rivers and tearing down bridges: "Yes, then I will come back next time to say hello to my great-grandfather."

When he was about to leave, old man Meng called to him again: "Don't tell your grandfather that you gave me the painting."

This is because he is deeply afraid that his son will come and rob him.

Therefore, sometimes it is not a good thing for father and son to have the same hobbies.

Qin Mu naturally complied obediently, and went to pay his respects to his grandfather and grandmother.

Mrs. Meng knew that he was coming when he entered the door, and now that she saw him, she was concerned about his health, and she wanted to examine him herself.

But at this time Mu Zhaozhao was also there, and Mrs. Meng was too embarrassed to let her grandson's clothes be disheveled.

Meng Yi, who just came back from the school, also came to Qin Mu's side, and asked with concern: "Cousin, are you really alright?"

"Yes, I'm fine. My great-grandfather has already checked my pulse." When Qin Mu was speaking, he glanced at his cousin and found that she still knew how to behave in front of her grandmother. On the other hand, he didn't look at himself with bright eyes like usual.

Mu Zhaozhao also noticed that he was looking at him, and he didn't dare to look at him randomly, so he saluted him very politely: "Hi, cousin!"

Qin Mu was also very polite: "Hi cousin, don't be too polite."

Worried that my grandmother saw something, I asked, "Why hasn't my grandfather come back yet?"

"It should be soon." Mrs. Meng looked at the eldest grandson lovingly: "If you are not in a hurry to go back, you can live here at night? Seeing how thin you are, I asked the kitchen to stew black chicken soup and mutton for you. Wait for you eat more."

After speaking, I felt that I should not be too partial to one another, and said to Mu Zhaozhao and Meng Yi: "Eat more, so that when your parents come back and see that your siblings have lost weight, you may think that I am abusing you while they are not around." Woolen cloth?"

Meng Yi nodded quickly, ordering quickly: "Grandma, I like to eat roast lamb, can you ask the kitchen to give us roast lamb skewers?"

Fearing that grandma would say that roasted lamb is easy to get angry again, she would refuse, so she hurried to find an alliance: "Cousin, sister, you also like to eat grilled lamb skewers, right?"

Mu Zhaozhao also nodded with a smile: "Grandmother, when my younger brother said it, it aroused all the gluttons in my stomach, so why don't you roast a few skewers of lamb for us?"

She felt in her heart that if she was too polite and out of touch, she wouldn't be like a family.

Besides, I didn't mention this kebab first, so Mrs. Meng won't be angry.

Qin Mu was also worried that his grandmother would not like it, so he said, "Grandma, I also want to eat kebabs."

"All right, all right," Mrs. Meng said happily today, and she didn't say that those dinners should not be too greasy, or that they would get angry if they couldn't eat barbecue. string."

"Su Ye, go and tell the second grandma and the third grandma, let them all come here for dinner today."
