The Book of Heaven

Chapter 256 Chapter [-] The Courage of a Woman

"She, she is His Majesty's niece. Doesn't that mean that her mother is, yes?" Zhuge Xingxing was stunned, she would never believe that Ma Zheng's "fiancée" is a royal family!
Although the Zhuge family is already considered extremely powerful among the rich and noble families, second only to the five kings with different surnames, but compared with the royal family, it still lacks confidence. Even Zhuge Mingyue was so frightened by the news that he was speechless. It's no wonder that Zhuge Xingxing made such a messy slip of the tongue.

"Which princess is it?"

Fortunately, Zhuge Mingyue was still able to remain calm, and asked after a moment of silence.

"Princess Qingping Liu Xu, Miss Mingyue must have heard of it."

There are a lot of princesses in the Han Empire, but there are only a few famous princesses. Among them, Princess Qingping, the sister of His Majesty the Emperor, is the most famous. There are few legendary stories, but not many people know about the offspring of Princess Qingping.

Maybe someone knows it, but it's about royal family affairs, how many people are willing to speak out?

"It really is her."

Zhuge Ming also had a bitter smile on his face.If it was any other princess, Zhuge Mingyue might still have the intention to compete, but for a legendary woman like Princess Shangqingping, even Zhuge Mingyue could only bow down to her, and even now in Zhuge Mingyue's heart, Qing Princess Ping regards her as her idol, but she never imagined that one day she would compete with her idol's daughter for a husband.

Perhaps it is too early to say the word "husband-in-law", but for some reason Zhuge Mingyue always has a feeling that this matter will not become an obstacle between her and Ma Zheng.

Just as the room fell silent, Zhuge Mingxin's voice sounded outside.He came to see Ma Zheng to meet the Patriarch, but he was a little surprised to see Zhuge Mingyue present.

"Mingyue, why are you here? It can't be"

Of course Zhuge Mingxin thought that his arrogant younger sister was unwilling to marry Ma Zheng, so after hearing the news, he came to Ma Zheng for a showdown.If this is the case, Zhuge Mingxin feels that he will be very embarrassed. On the one hand, he feels that Ma Zheng is indeed a talent, and he is an indispensable talent for the Zhuge family. With Ma Zheng, the Zhuge family may not use it for ten years. Time will expand again and become an important part of the empire, not the current situation.

But at the same time, Zhuge Mingxin didn't want Zhuge Mingyue to suffer any grievances, especially in matters of marriage.For a woman, she can only have one marriage in her life. Who said that the imperial laws do not object to remarriage, but the rich and noble families who pay attention to the right family will never allow their widows to remarry to others.

This involves face, which is very important to the rich and noble families.

"Brother, I'm fine. Since Grandpa is looking for Young Master Ma, I'll take my leave first. See you later, Young Master."

Zhuge Mingyue stood up, leaving behind a smile that confused Zhuge Ming and made Ma Zheng smile wryly.

"What is Mingyue talking about?"

"It's nothing, just come here, why, what's the old man looking for me?" Ma Zheng didn't want to tell Zhuge Mingxin too much, if he still can't guess what will happen by now, then he is really a fool .

"Let's go, don't make grandpa wait too long."

Seeing that Ma Zheng refused to say more, Zhuge Mingxin led the way and went to the small courtyard of Zhuge Yashan.

Every time he comes to this small courtyard, Ma Zheng always has a new level of understanding in his heart. He doesn't know what it feels like, but he just feels that if he can live here for a while, it will definitely benefit his martial arts cultivation. .As for whether other people feel this way, Ma Zheng is really not sure.

Seeing Zhuge Yashan again, Ma Zheng found that the smile on the old man's face was much more sincere. It's not that the smile on Zhuge Yashan's last meeting was insincere, but there was something called "kindness" in his eyes.

That is to say, now Zhuge Yashan truly regards Ma Zheng as a junior, as his own family.After all, according to the agreement between the two parties, Ma Zheng already has three members of Zhuge's family workshop, and will soon become Zhuge Mingyue's fiancé, so of course he is his own.

Ma Zheng could understand the meaning in Zhuge Yashan's eyes, but he was worried that things would not go so smoothly.

"Boy, the things you made in the workshop are really good. I said clearly that the effect is remarkable. I also went to see the old man. I asked you to come here today. One thing is to tell you that our agreement has officially come into effect. From now on The profit of Zhuge's workshop is [-]% of yours, so nothing can be shaken."

What is the annual profit of Zhugejia Workshop?It would be scary to think about it, but there was no shock on Ma Zheng's face. After all, as a time traveler, if he is only greedy for money, there are plenty of ways, and he doesn't need to be attached to Zhuge's family at all.

It's just that his calmness has become a rare quality for young people in the eyes of Zhuge Yashan, and Zhuge Yashan appreciates it even more. He nodded and said: "The other thing is your marriage with Mingyue. Last time you said it was okay." It needs the order of your parents, but as far as we know, your parents seem to have passed away long ago, and you are just an orphan of the Ma family, right?"

It is true to say so, but Ma Zheng still has to remind Zhuge Yashan that he also has a godfather named Ma Daoming.

"The relationship with the godfather is not important in this matter. I know Ma Daoming. As long as the old man speaks, he won't say anything."

There may be some small conflicts and small disputes among the old-school rich and noble families. When there is really something to do, it is absolutely unanimous to the outside world. It is one level lower than Zhuge Yashan.

Just when Ma Zheng didn't know what to do next, a servant came to report that it was Zhuge Mingyue who asked to see him.

Zhuge Yashan seemed to be aware of it, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he nodded in agreement to let Zhuge Mingyue in.

"Boy, do you know why Mingyue came here?"

With a wry smile on Ma Zheng's face, he turned his head to look at Zhuge Mingxin who was beside him and said, "Brother Mingxin, can you accompany me to visit the old man's back garden, where drinking tea may be more enjoyable."

This is trying to avoid it, what a shrewd old fox Zhuge Yashan is, you can understand it as soon as you hear it.

"Mingxin, you accompany the boy to take a look, be careful not to damage the old man's flowers and plants, or you will look good!"

Ma Zheng didn't say much at the moment, he dragged Zhuge Mingxin and left, because he had already heard Zhuge Mingyue's footsteps.Meeting Zhuge Mingyue at this time must be a very embarrassing thing, it's better to hide for a while.

"What exactly did you tell Mingyue just now?"

If Zhuge Mingxin still can't react now, then he is really a fool!As soon as the two arrived in the backyard, he couldn't wait to attack Ma Zheng.

"Oh, what else can I say. The old man has made it clear that the chariots and horses are going to talk about the engagement, and there are some things that I can't do if I don't talk about it. Her Royal Highness Princess Qingping has long said that she will marry her daughter to me. If It’s not because I suddenly became a prisoner of the imperial court, this matter has already been done, do you think I should tell Mingyue?”

"this."

Zhuge Mingxin was also dumbfounded, it seemed that this matter really couldn't be hidden, otherwise the consequences would be even more serious if it erupted in the future.
