urge Zhao to marry

Chapter 93 Nightmare
Qin Mu was a little disappointed because he noticed that Zhao Zhao was avoiding him a bit.

Seeing her smiling like a flower to others, even if the other party was a girl, he felt a little unhappy.

However, he could only feel aggrieved and depressed in his heart, and he didn't dare to show it.

After they went back, they first brought the return gift from the Su family to Mrs. Meng, and conveyed the greetings from the people of the Su family, before going back to freshen up.

Mrs. Meng called to her grandson who was about to leave with her: "Ah Mu, please stay here for a while."

When Mu Zhaozhao heard this, his heart tightened, and he glanced at him nervously.

It's not that she didn't see the way he often looked at her, but today she deliberately snubbed him, just to make him dissatisfied with herself, and it's best to make him feel that he is taking Joe, disgusted in his heart, and unwilling to say anything If you marry yourself.

But she was also afraid that Qin Mu, who was young and energetic, would not be reconciled, and would take the opportunity to say something to Mrs. Meng.

It's a pity that she couldn't see the emotion on his face, and didn't dare to look too much, so she turned and left.

Qin Mu's mood improved a lot because of the look she gave her before leaving, and he hesitated whether to reveal something in front of her grandmother.

He went back to Mrs. Meng, lifted the corner of his robe and sat down: "Grandma, what do you want to say?"

"Have you seen Miss Su today?" Mrs. Meng waved her hand to signal the maids and women to back down, and then smiled lovingly at him: "I think that Miss Su is handsome and has a refreshing temper. What's rare is She came out of a women's school, and now she is helping Mrs. Su with housekeeping, look at her..."

When Qin Mu heard this, he immediately interrupted her: "Grandmother, Wen's mansion just withdrew the marriage, if I was in a hurry to say goodbye again, people who don't know would think I'm dissatisfied with Miss Wen, wait a minute. "

Of course, if the grandmother can choose someone he likes, he will definitely say: it's up to the grandmother to make the decision.

Mrs. Meng choked, but was still not reconciled: "I didn't say to marry now, but I just thought that the Wen Mansion was arranged by your grandfather and they didn't find out what Miss Wen was, but Miss Su knew the bottom line."

"Your child is becoming more and more thoughtful and taciturn. Grandma feels very distressed when she sees it, so she wants to find you someone with a brisk temper."

"Miss Su may not be as good as Miss Wen now, but among her three older brothers, two of them were Jinshi, and they are all working in the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Imperial Academy. Their future prospects are boundless. In addition, her cousins Either working as an errand in the yamen or as a teacher in the academy, the Su family will be different from now on."

Otherwise, she wouldn't be so tolerant towards Su Shi, let her domineeringly torment her son, Mrs. Meng felt that she would not be so tolerant towards her daughter.

Mrs. Meng felt that this marriage was not as good as Wenfu, but inside it was very affordable. After a few years or more, the Su family brothers might squeeze into the positions of third-rank and fourth-rank officials.

The third and fourth ranks don't sound good enough, but after all, there are only a few high-ranking officials of the first and second ranks, and even some uncles are only fourth-rank officials in the court.

Although Wen Shangshu is in a high position now, his two sons are not as full of economics and resourcefulness as Wen Shangshu, and his other sons are even supported by Mrs. Wen.

Wen's mansion has no successors, and Wen Shangshu's health is not too good.

According to my father-in-law, after he gave Wen Shangshu a pulse check last spring, he told them that Wen Shangshu suffered too much losses before. Even if he paid attention to his health these years, he could last for seven or eight years at most, and he might not have the energy to stand again after that. On the court.

When Qin Mu heard his grandmother analyze the secrets between Wenfu and Sufu with him, he was very grateful for her thoughtfulness in his affairs.

But because of the person who didn't know when he got into his heart, he still didn't want to just agree.

Besides, he is still young, no matter how calm he is usually, he is still full of vigor.

He felt in his heart that it was because he was not strong enough that he needed to secure his position through marriage.

Then he is willing to work harder for this, and be more ruthless and ruthless, so that the people in the Xuanping Hou Mansion dare not provoke him, then he does not need the powerful Yue family to add to the cake.

"Grandmother, I know you are doing it for my own good, but I want to wait for a while." Seeing her grandmother sighing at herself with a sad face, Qin Mu clenched her fists secretly, and added: "Wait for Miss Wen and the others to hear the news first." Good news, okay?"

Originally, he was going to ask his grandmother to persuade Zhaozhao to take over his shop, and he also wanted her to take the opportunity to suspect that he cared too much for Zhaozhao.

But now I dare not say it, let my grandmother know that I rejected Miss Su because of Zhao Zhao, I am afraid that I will feel that I am obsessed with ghosts and will anger Zhao Zhao.

So we can only delay for a while.

At this time, Mu Zhaozhao on the other side was always worried that Qin Mu would miss something in front of Mrs. Meng, so that the shrewd Mrs. Meng would notice something.

After Meng Yi came back from school, she hurriedly urged her younger brother to greet Mrs. Meng, and she went with her. She took the opportunity to observe Mrs. Meng's attitude towards her as usual, and she felt relieved.

Hearing Meng Yi asked about his cousin again, Mrs. Meng said that he had already returned to Xishan Daying, and Mu Zhaozhao became even more relaxed.

But that night she had a nightmare.

The night is dark and the wind is high, there are a few men in black appearing in the inn like ghosts, familiar with the angle that the night watchman can't see, with a dagger to kill the night watchman, making him open his eyes unwillingly before warning fell down.

They continued to pour tung oil on the wooden doors and windows on the ground floor before leaving quickly. Everyone scattered in all directions and threw the fire pockets over at the same time.

The small inn was instantly engulfed in flames. She saw her father and mother running out in disheveled clothes, but they didn't find the men in black who were hiding in the dark and aimed their crossbow arrows at them...

"No..." Mu Zhaozhao woke up sweating profusely, looked at the familiar boudoir, and then patted his chest: "Fortunately, it was a dream."

But everything in the dream was so clear that she was horrified when she recalled it now.

She could only comfort herself: "Don't be afraid, not afraid, dreams are always reversed."

At this moment, everything was silent outside, and thinking of her own ominous nightmare, she panicked.

It's not that she didn't have nightmares in the past, but when she woke up, she had almost forgotten them, and she had never had such a clear time like now.

It was as if she was there, but couldn't remind them.

She felt a little cold for no reason, but forced herself to close her eyes and continue to sleep.

She wanted to get herself to sleep so she wouldn't be afraid.

But after finally falling asleep, she dreamed of them again.

She dreamed that Meng Yu was shot by an arrow in the shoulder in order to protect her mother. She saw young guards fall down one by one, and saw Meng San swinging his sword at a critical moment to cut off the arrow that was about to hit Meng Yu's chest. Meng San shouted at Meng Yu: "Master, you go!"

At this time, the people near the inn all woke up, shouted and ran out to fight the fire, the men in black didn't dare to fight, as if they had never come out, they quietly disappeared into the night.

No matter how anxious Mu Zhaozhao was watching from the sidelines, there was nothing he could do. When he saw Meng Yu Feiyue leaving with his mother in his arms, he wanted to continue to follow, but found that he couldn't keep up.

In the end, many people were heard shouting anxiously: "Hurry up, the Four Seas Inn is on fire."

"Come and put out the fire, my shop is also on fire, my God, my shop is full of newly bought cloth and satin... woo woo woo..."

"Oh, it's terrible, the fire has spread to Lao Zhao's shop..."

When Mu Zhaozhao woke up again, his whole body trembled uncontrollably. This dream was too scary.

But is this really a dream?

...

After hearing the noise, Mrs. Meng woke up and saw that Mr. Meng had washed up, so she also got up and changed.

Su Ye brought a few maidservants in to help her wash up, and said in a low voice when she tied her hair in a bun, "Ma'am, it's been almost two quarters of an hour since Missy went to the Small Buddha Hall."

Mrs. Meng was taken aback when she heard the words: "It's so early?"

She wondered if Mu Zhaozhao had been wronged in some way, so she went to the Small Buddha Hall.

Mrs. Meng was a little puzzled, a little bit suspicious that she was waiting for me to ask her on purpose, because she would go to burn incense every morning.

After packing up, she still went to the Small Buddha Hall.

The flowers and fruits in the Small Buddha Hall are changed every day, and the incense candle curtains are also very clean and tidy, and there is a benevolent Guanyin Bodhisattva enshrined in it.

When she went in, she saw Mu Zhaozhao was still kneeling on the futon in front of her.

Mrs. Meng didn't say much, she first took out three sticks of incense from the box on the incense table, lit them, and knelt on the futon beside Mu Zhaozhao. Then I got up and put the incense in the incense burner.

And when Mu Zhaozhao came in to kneel down, he put his hands on the ground and stood up with his teeth gritted.

She knelt for too long and her knees hurt, but at the moment she didn't care about anything else, she just wanted to ask clearly.

"Grandmother." Mu Zhaozhao reached out to support Mrs. Meng when she was about to get up, and then left the Buddhist hall with her, before asking with difficulty: "Has grandfather gone to the medical center?"

Seeing that her clear and bright eyes were now red and swollen, Mrs. Meng said gently, "Your grandfather should be eating breakfast now, but you, who made you feel wronged, told grandma, grandma gave You decide."

"Grandma, I had a nightmare." Mu Zhaozhao followed her with his head down: "I want to ask my grandfather."

Up to now, she can still clearly remember everything in the dream, and she still remembers that the inn where her parents stayed was called the Four Seas Inn.

Master Meng has also been to Anyang many times, so he should know if there is a Four Seas Inn there.

Mrs. Meng originally imagined that she would cry when she was wronged in the Su family, or because the second daughter-in-law mocked her again.

But unexpectedly, she was crying because of a nightmare.

This answer made her a little dumbfounded. She felt that she was too delicate, so she comforted her with a smile: "Silly girl, dreams are always reversed, how can you take it seriously?"

Mu Zhaozhao couldn't laugh at all, so he could only pull the corners of his mouth reluctantly: "I also hope that the dream will be reversed."

She also hoped that Master Meng could tell herself that there was no Four Seas Inn over there.
