Chapter 843 The Family Response
Jiangzhou Minghou Mansion, backyard.

In the gazebo, Cai Yan and Zhang Ning are making tea and arranging flowers, chatting about girls' concerns.

"It's off!" Cai Yan saw that Zhang Ning was absent-minded, and said with a smile: "It's about to get married, are you so happy? Look at this flower, it's completely wrong!"

In this era, arranging flowers and making tea is also homework for women before they leave the court, and a lady from a famous family needs a little talent.

"My sister made fun of me again!"

Zhang Ning has been wandering with his father since he was a child. He is skilled in martial arts, but he seldom knows the talents of these famous ladies. It's just that he is about to marry, and he is unwilling to reconcile, so he pesters Cai Yan to learn, and Cai Yan has already teased him several times.

"You girl, if you want to learn flower arranging, don't you just show it to your husband!"

Cai Yan stretched out her jade finger and tapped her forehead: "Teach you, you don't study hard, and your mind is distracted all day, what are you thinking?"

"Sister, do you think I won't harm his future if I marry him so legitimately?"

These days, Zhang Ning has been in a state of anxiety. He is the male descendant of Zhang Jiao, a great virtuous teacher. This identity cannot be concealed.

"You Ji, you are now ready to marry with peace of mind, don't worry about these things!"

Cai Yan held Zhang Ning's hand, this girl also loved her husband badly, she always put her husband's interests into consideration, she got into the horns, how could her husband be such a pedantic person.

She comforted softly: "My husband is an upright man. He acts frankly, whether overtly or secretly, but he never shy away from fame. Since he wants to marry you openly, he should bear the burden of this world for you!"

"But in the final analysis, I am still the daughter of a traitor. My husband has a foothold in the great Han world and strives for hegemony. He needs a good reputation to deal with the scholars in the world!"

Zhang Ning sighed.

How can she feel at ease, maybe it's better now, if Mu Jing dared to marry a traitor's daughter in the early years, I'm afraid everyone in the world would stand up and attack him.

"He has already conquered the southwestern mountains and rivers. He is young and ambitious, and he should be the master of the world!"

Zhang Ning said: "If you get a good wife, like a sister, who has a reputation and support, it can help him capture the hearts of scholars in the world, but if you get a clumsy wife, like me, who was born as a traitor, how can you make people trust you!"

"You just look too much like you. Today's world is not what it used to be. The big man is famous but not real. Now even my father is such a pedantic person, and he praises my sister very much. Besides, my sister is so beautiful and beautiful. Husband, if you want to marry him, you must pay a price!"

Cai Yan made fun of it.

"My sister just knows to come and make fun of me!" Zhang Ning said with a blushing pretty face, "If you want to say that the country is beautiful and talented, only my sister is the only one. I am a vulgar person who only knows how to wield a knife and a gun!"

Even if she was worried, she was afraid, but she would not let go of this only chance to marry into the Mu family. She hoped that one day, after her death, the Mu Zhang family could be crowned on her tomb.

..............................

…………

The news of Mu Jing's wedding has already started to spread.

Everyone was happy at first.

Now in Southwest China, not to mention the State Shepherd's Mansion, the officials of all counties, even ordinary county government officials, can tell that the owner of Southwest China is not State Shepherd Liu Zhang, but Ming Hou Mujing.

Mujing's big wedding is equal to the big wedding of the lord of the Southwest, and the Southwest will celebrate it.

However, after the identity of the person Mu Jing wanted to marry was revealed, many people began to waver. Those who are loyal to Mu Jing have many opponents. There is a storm.

In addition, some people have already presented their pros and cons to Minghou's residence, hoping that the lord Minghou can take back his life and cancel the wedding.

In just a few days, Zhaoming Pavilion has already piled up a mountain of memorials.

Mu Jing just glanced at it, and became furious, and directly ordered people to burn all these memorials in front of people from all yamen of the Marquis of Ming Dynasty, and even ordered that no one who submitted the memorials would be let go.

Only then did it stop.

But the turmoil in the dark is not small.

In particular, the attitude of the Yizhou aristocratic family is also ambiguous. They seem to be in a position of binding support and not opposing.

They had no objection to Mu Jing's marriage, and even hoped that some of the girls who were waiting to be married could be sent to the backyard of the Marquis Ming's mansion.

Now everyone knows that the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty achieved great success at a young age and has yet to have any heirs. If anyone can give birth to a male from the Mu clan, he will be the heir of the future Lord of the Southwest. This is a relative.

……

Shu County.

Chengdu city.

Huang Quan was returning from the government office, looking a little tired. As the newly appointed prefect of Shu County, he was also the vanguard of the Marquis of Ming. He knew that too many eyes were staring at his position, so he didn't dare to make mistakes in every step. , Every day is conscientious and conscientious.

"Patriarch, many Patriarchs have come to visit in person, and they are already waiting in the side hall!"

The butler came up, took his official hat and robe, and reported in a low voice.

"Come so fast?"

Huang Quan squinted his eyes, he naturally knew why these people came to the door.

"I've been waiting for half a day!"

"Please serve tea, and I will meet with you after I take a shower and change my clothes!" Huang Quan said calmly.

"promise!"

The butler nodded.

After a while, Huang Quan changed into a light-colored robe and walked to the side hall of the mansion. In the side hall, there were many people sitting on the left and right. When they saw Huang Quan coming in, they quickly got up to greet him.

"Brother Huang!"

"Patriarch Huang!"

"Master Prefect!"

There are different titles and different relatives. Some families have good friends with the Huang family, and some patriarchs have not very deep friendship with the Huang family, which can be seen at a glance.

"Everyone, please sit down!"

Huang Quan pressed his hand and asked these people to sit down.

After drinking for three rounds, we got to the point. Huang Quan glanced over and asked, "I'm afraid it's because of the Marquis Ming's wedding that you are in such a hurry to come to the door!"

"Patriarch Huang, Marquis Ming is a young hero in today's world. He is talented in both civil and military affairs. He originally has a bright future, but now he wants to marry the daughter of a traitor. Wouldn't that ruin his future!" A patriarch stroked the beautiful beard on his chin, He said in a deep voice: "Now he is in the southwest of the town and decides the world, and I have lost the same prosperity as Yizhou. I don't want to see this happen, why not..."

"Patriarch Xu's meaning is that he hopes to present the Marquis of Ming Dynasty and reject the second proposal!"

Huang Quan smiled slightly.

"No!"

This quite old patriarch can be regarded as a relatively capable weed in the Yizhou family. Where the wind blows, people will go there. He said in a deep voice: "The Minghou is like this. He is sensible and loves sex, so why don't we satisfy him!"

"Then what do you guys mean?" Huang Quan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, his eyes swept across, looking at the faces, and asked indifferently.

"We also have some daughters who are waiting to be married. If you can make Marquis Ming love you, that's fine!"

Everyone said in unison.

"Everyone, do you know the difference between Marquis Ming and Lord Xianshi?" Huang Quan sighed, and his eyes swept away. Fortunately, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhang were not among these people, otherwise this would be a big problem. Knock it off.

"Patriarch Huang, please speak!"

A patriarch cupped his hands and said: "Among all the people, only Patriarch Huang has been with Marquis Ming for a long time. We also hope that knowing Marquis Ming's temperament will prevent him from offending Marquis Ming in the future!"

"It's true that Marquis Ming is young, and he loves fishing, but he is not someone we can control!" Huang Quan said in a low voice: "Master Xianshi does not have our support, and he cannot sit firmly in Yizhou." Well, of course, without our support, the Marquis of Ming would be a little more difficult at best, but he wouldn't be able to move a single step. You wouldn't think that Marquis of Ming left Shu County to open his mansion in Jiangzhou because he was afraid of our power. It's a big mistake to think so. wrong!"

"Is not it?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Mujing went down to Ba County in the south, and established a government to govern Yizhou, but he did not choose Shu County, which is more affluent. This gave many people the illusion that he handed Shu County over to Yizhou's aristocratic family, as a compromise.

"Humph!"

Huang Quan snorted coldly: "If you think so, you will soon encounter a catastrophe, ranging from losing your official position to destroying your children, or even destroying your family!"

"No way!"

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.

"The youth of Minghou is courageous and resolute like a tiger. How can he be a hostage? If he doesn't get it, he would rather destroy it. The first envoy may not destroy the courage to rebuild. However, Minghou has it. Because he is young, even if he raises troops Copying our family, causing civil strife in Yizhou, and making Yizhou people miserable, he can spend ten or eight years rebuilding order in Yizhou!"

Huang Quan said in a cold voice: "It is very wrong for you to use this matter to hold Marquis Ming hostage. If you think about it yourself, or if it is justifiable, I will treat you as confused. Provocation, this person has bad intentions, intending to harm our family of nobles!"

He waved his hand and said: "Go back and think about it. In the past, we all advanced and retreated together, honored and humiliated, and Huang did not forget this, so I would like to tell you that today is different from the past. It is the continuation of the family. Be careful, don't be tempted by others to do things you regret!"

A group of Patriarchs came here with great enthusiasm, but returned disappointed.

"Gongheng, is this really impossible!" After sending away these aristocratic family members, the Huang family became an elder, but he was a little reconciled and wanted to ask Huang Quan: "You are now an official of the Marquis of Ming Dynasty. When Hou gets married, it's better to get married!"

"Uncle Qi, this matter may be possible in the future, but it is impossible now!"

Huang Quan shook his head: "Anyone who makes a fuss about this matter will be considered by Minghou as abducting him. Minghou's marriage to the Zhang family has no benefits, only feelings. He is young and hot-blooded and has a strong temper. At this time, he has angered him." , there is no benefit!"

He looked at the elder and asked, "Uncle Qi, is there someone lobbying you?"

"That's not true!"

The elders of the Huang family said: "It's just a granddaughter of my family. She has a gentle and virtuous temperament, and is both talented and beautiful. If Minghou is from a good family, she can be regarded as someone who has entrusted her!"

"Don't think about it!" Huang Quan shook his head: "Even if Marquis Ming is married, it won't be at this time. He has a big plan, and at least he will beat us up before he can appease us. Maybe at that time, there is still a chance. !"

He raised his head and looked at the sky: "I hope Zhao Wei and Zhang Song can see it clearly, and don't drag Yizhou into a situation where it is being used!"

................................................

………………

Jiangzhou City, Zhao Mansion.

"Get out of here!"

Zhao Wei was like an erupting lion, shouting angrily at the person who came to the door.

"Patriarch Zhao, what do you mean?"

"We came to the door with good intentions, but why Patriarch Zhao is discussing important matters, so rude, it is useless to read the number of sages!"

Many people felt very ashamed and cursed.

"Get out!"

Zhao Wei stared angrily.

A group of government soldiers quickly drove these people out directly.

Zhao Wei didn't calm down for a long time, he gritted his teeth and scolded angrily: "A bunch of bastards, you're a rat!"

"Husband, don't be angry!"

A beautiful concubine served tea and comforted her softly.

"Can you not be angry?" Zhao Wei said in a cold voice, "They actually asked me to send Qing'er up to befriend the Marquis of Ming!"

"Isn't this a good thing?"

The concubine said in a daze: "Mr. Ming can be regarded as a hero, and he is still a young man. Qing'er is the pearl of Yizhou. She is as beautiful as a flower and has extraordinary talents. She should be a match!"

Zhao Qing, Zhao Wei's younger sister, daughter of the Zhao family, a well-known talented woman in Yizhou, was just about to marry, and there was an endless stream of people who came to propose marriage.

"Fart!" Zhao Wei yelled: "At this time, whoever dares to propose marriage with Minghou is to fight against Minghou. Why does Minghou need people? I have seen with my own eyes that he acted vigorously and resolutely. He is a rare hero. , At this time, we have sinned against Marquis Ming, will the Zhao family still have a way out?"

"But people outside say that the Zhang family that Marquis Ming is going to marry is after rebelling against the bandits. If the husband expresses his objection and proposes a marriage with Qinger, wouldn't it be a show of loyalty!"

Concubine Mei pinched his shoulder and said softly.

"You do not understand!"

Zhao Wei calmed down, and said: "Minghou is determined to marry Zhang, regardless of the benefits and consequences. At this time, let alone marrying him, anyone who hinders him will become his enemy. Although Minghou is a male Lord, but he is also a young boy, not those old guys who completely care about gains and losses, he can be desperate!"

It's not in vain for him to work in the Minghou Mansion, at least with the understanding of Mu Jing, he has some confidence, so he also understands the direction of future actions.

Zhao Wei is not an ambitious man.

But he worships the strong, and he will obey those who are stronger than him, and those who are weaker than him are not allowed to ride on his head.

If it was Liu Zhang, he wouldn't mind scheming, but Mu Jing, frankly speaking, he didn't dare to go, just from the matter of reorganizing the armaments, he could see that Mu Jing had an iron fist, and the matter of disarmament was full of trouble. Tang Tang even caused a mutiny or two, but Mu Jing remained consistent and insisted on disarmament and rectification.

......................................................

The third force of the Yizhou family is based on the Zhang family.

The owner is Zhang Song.

The Zhang family is not considered a family with a profound heritage, but it is also a family with appeal. The Zhang family has operated for several generations, and Guanghan has become uniform. Most of the Guanghan families follow their lead.

"Patriarch, there is also a daughter with extraordinary talent and appearance in the family. This is a great opportunity, let's let it go!"

Some family staff wanted to persuade Zhang Song not to let go of this opportunity.

"This matter cannot be mixed!"

Zhang Song is short in stature and has a strange face, but he occupies a high position and has an extraordinary aura. Ever since his elder brother died, Zhang has been the only one to look after him. He said in a deep voice: "Please go ahead and support Minghou's wedding with all your strength, and don't make troubles , at this time, whoever dislikes Marquis Ming will be the first to be eliminated, Yizhou is such a big place, it may not be able to accommodate too many aristocratic families!"
