Chapter 302 Still thinking about the Wu family daughter

Chen Mo had little contact with the Wu family in Jiangdong, so he could vaguely guess something about Wu Changlin's arrival.

Wu Changlin was not surprised by Chen Mo's attitude, nor did he feel flattered. Instead, he felt that he should be like this.

Of course, it was one thing to be afraid of Chen Mo's weapons. From the bottom of his heart, Wu Changlin despised Chen Mo.

For a truly aristocratic family, it all comes down to family background.

At that time, the Heavenly Master Army swept across the Northland and caused a great uproar, but none of the seven famous families were close to the Heavenly Master Army.

Not just the seven famous families, but none of the established families looked up to the Heavenly Master Army.

In Wu Changlin's heart, Chen Mo was just a bastard, a country man, a vulgar person. He only got to where he was now because of his good fortune, which was nothing.

The Wu family is a thousand-year-old family that has gone through several dynasties and has a profound culture and a long history.

(During the Tang Dynasty, the five surnames and seven families did not even look down upon the royal family.)

Of course, he looked down upon him, and his own cultivation told him that he did not show a look of contempt on the surface, but bowed and said: "I met Marquis Pingting in Wu Changlin of the Wu family in the east of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River."

After some courtesy, Chen Mo invited Wu Changlin to sit down, but the latter tended to bow his head. Chen Mo did not force himself and let the people below him serve tea.

After Wu Changlin took a sip of tea, Chen Mo said with a smile: "I wonder if the Wu clan has come all the way to do something important?"

"I have long heard that Marquis Pingting is a young hero. Now that I have seen him, he is indeed a well-deserved talent." Wu Changlin also shot a bunch of rainbow farts before getting to the point:

"After I entered Yuzhou, I saw that the order in Yuzhou was stable, the people were harmonious and healthy, and it looked like a prosperous and lively scene. It is not easy in these troubled times.

I know that the Marquis does not want to think about the war, but only wants to rule the people to be happy, healthy and recuperative. As for my Wu family, I have always been peace-loving, and now I happen to be a neighbor of the Marquis’s Linzhou. For the sake of peace, stability and prosperity for the people on both sides, on behalf of the millions of people in Jiangdong, I have come here to become friendly with the Marquis and do business with each other."

I don’t understand. Don’t hit me, and I won’t mess with you. Let’s all live in peace.

But Chen Mo deliberately pretended not to understand and said, "Chief Wu, is there any misunderstanding between us?"

Wu Changlin: "???"

"Jiangdong has always been an important tax-paying area for the imperial court, and it has never failed to pay taxes. The Wu family has never colluded with traitors and rebels. They are the pillars of our loyal ministers in the Song Dynasty. And I am the imperial general who conquers the west, and both the young patriarch and the young patriarch are the same. The ministers of the Song Dynasty served the imperial court and served His Majesty.

So, we are already friendly neighbors, so why bother? Isn’t this unnecessary…”

Wu Changlin: "..."

He's not very old, and he's very good at talking.

According to what you said, why do you think that my Wu family is in the same group as you?

Stop trying to build relationships here.

Wu Changlin was silent for a while and said with a smile: "Isn't it? I think so too, but the people in Jiangdong are afraid. The Wu family trusts you, Mr. Hou, but the people don't understand you, Mr. Hou. In these troubled times, the people are afraid The Marquis's troops were at the forefront, and he felt uneasy.

As the representative of the people of Jiangdong, I, the Wu family, naturally want to help them eliminate this uneasiness in their hearts. I hope the Marquis will understand. "

"Oh--"

Hearing this, Chen Mo deliberately lengthened his tone, frowned and said, "Is this still happening?"

"Isn't it?" Wu Changlin sighed, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, but his attention was always on Chen Mo, wanting to see how he would solve the problem.

But seeing him drinking tea, Chen Mo also took a sip of tea, brushed the tea surface from the cup, and said: "They all say that Jiangnan tea is good, especially that tea. It is tender, fragrant, sweet in the mouth, and has a long aftertaste. It's a pity that I I can't get it no matter what." "If the Marquis likes it, and the clan happened to buy some, they will be given to the Marquis." Wu Changlin said.

"Hey, how can this be done?" Chen Mo put down the tea cup and said, "No reward for no merit, and the price of this tea is not low."

Seeing Chen Mo rambling, Wu Changlin knew that Chen Mo was a man who did not see rabbits and did not let go of hawks. He said: "Master Hou, what are you talking about? Master Hou serves the country and the people, let alone To drink first tea, even if you give me a mountain of tea, it’s not an exaggeration.”

"Young Patriarch praises me too much."

"I am sincerely speaking." Wu Changlin also put down his tea cup and said: "The Marquis has worked hard for the country, and for the sake of the peace and stability of the people in our two places, I have made the decision for the Wu family and donated 300,000 yuan to the Marquis for his improvement. people’s livelihood.”

Chen Mo pretended to be surprised, and then his expression became serious: "Young Patriarch, what do you mean? I, Chen Mo, have been given an official title by His Majesty, and I am a salary from the imperial court. How can I accept money from your Wu family? What have I become?" .”

Later, he also criticized Wu Changlin.

Wu Changlin: "..."

You should have a little face.

"Master Marquis has misunderstood. This money is a reflection of my feelings, not respect, and it is for the people." Wu Changlin said.

After refusing twice more, Chen Mo "reluctantly" accepted and said: "Since it is the young patriarch's wish, then I will thank the young patriarch on behalf of the people of Linzhou."

Wu Changlin smiled and nodded, just when he thought the matter could be discussed.

Chen Mo continued: "It is said that Jiangdong women are gentle and charming, quiet and calm, and they can also speak the soft language of Wu Nong. I think I am already nineteen years old, and will soon be in my weakest years. I have not yet married a wife, alas..."

Wu Changlin: "..."

He still doesn't understand what this means.

This is too shameless. The money collected is not enough, and he is still thinking about the Wu family daughter.

Wu Changlin pretended not to understand.

If a woman from the Wu family were to marry him, she would be completely bound to him.

He just wants peace, but doesn't want to get involved in the conflicts in this world.

And you are not qualified yet.

Wu Changlin said with a smile: "The girls from Jiangnan are better, but if the Marquis really likes her, there are several well-trained and good sons in the family, and they can be given to the Marquis as well."

The good family here refers to the maids trained by the Wu family since childhood.

Seeing Wu Changlin pretending to be confused, Chen Mo's heart sank slightly. He really wanted to marry the daughter of the Wu family. If he wanted to develop, it would be difficult without the help of a wealthy family.

But he couldn't say it directly, otherwise he would be inferior, and if the other party still refused, it would be a loss of face.

"It's enough to have one wife, not how many." Chen Mo smiled and refused, and immediately said: "Since the young patriarch has come to Yuzhou, he must have heard of Fuze Hot Pot. It's getting late, I'll invite you The young patriarch is going to have a meal at Fuze Hot Pot Restaurant."

Wu Changlin knew that Chen Mo was expressing his dissatisfaction, but he would definitely not agree to marrying the daughter of the Wu family.

So, he expressed his willingness to give Chen Mo another 500,000 shi of food.

Chen Mo then smiled and said that Wu Changlin was really his good friend.
