Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 132 Discussing Marriage

Duan Zhengchun picked up his wine glass and offered three glasses of water to the two of them to show his respect.

After three rounds of drinking, the polite words came in an endless stream. Zhao Mu and Qiao Feng nodded repeatedly.

He especially praised Qiao Feng, saying that meeting the famous Bei Qiao Feng today was truly a blessing.

Even though Qiao Feng had been around the world for a long time and was used to hearing flattery, Duan Zhengchun's words made even him feel a little numb.

Zhao Mu admired his father-in-law quite a lot. After all, his eloquent and versatile skills were very important in official circles, shopping malls, and even in love. It seems that I still need to study more.

After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Qiao Feng said: "Qiao came here today just because he was entrusted by the brother named Gu Ducheng, and he didn't want to happen to meet the good brother here. This time, we will eradicate the four evil villains and good people." My younger brother deserves the most credit, Qiao Feng is just a bystander, and the King of Zhennan praises Qiao Feng too much."

Qiao Feng glanced at Zhao Mu, and then said: "Brother Xian, I originally wanted to invite you to have a few drinks, but I am currently busy with official duties. Since the King of Zhennan is safe, I will take the first step." ”

Zhao Mu asked: "Brother, are you going back to Wuxi?"

Qiao Feng nodded and said: "That's right! Quan Guanqing died. In order to avoid future troubles, the law enforcement elders arrested and punished many of Quan Guanqing's old men. This completely ended the rebellion of Dazhi. But because of this, many people were afraid of being punished. The implication was gone, and now the Jiangnan Dazhi branch of our Beggar Clan has become a decoration in name only. Brother Wei personally went there to calm the hearts of the Jiangnan Beggar Clan disciples and prevent everyone from being in danger. Secondly, he was to supervise the reconstruction of the branch. There are really a lot of things going on.”

Zhao Mu said: "Since I met the prince and Miss Mu here, I don't need to go south to Dali. Brother, my next stop is to go to Jiangling. After that, I will transfer to Gusu to visit Murong Fu. Since the eldest brother is here, then the younger brother How about meeting my eldest brother Songhelou some other time?"

Qiao Feng smiled and said: "That's very good. If that's the case, then I will wait for you at Songhe Tower." After saying that, Qiao Feng picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it in one gulp, and then said to the two of them. , "Qiao Feng says goodbye!"

Then Zhao Mu and Duan Zhengchun sent Qiao Feng out of the door. After both parties saluted again, Qiao Feng strode away.

In fact, Qiao Feng left so quickly because he really had business matters to deal with and because he couldn't stand Duan Zhengchun's disgusting polite words. He is a straightforward and forthright man, and he is the least likely to get along with people like Duan Zhengchun. What's more, Qiao Feng always felt that Zhao Mu and Duan Zhengchun seemed to have something important to discuss.

In addition, Duan Zhengchun's daughter seems to be his brother's fiancée, so it feels a little uncomfortable to stay here as an outsider for a long time. So after Qiao Feng was full, he found an excuse and left.

Qiao Feng strode away, thinking about Zhao Mu and those little girls and couldn't help but chuckle. He was good at everything, but he didn't know how to please a girl. He was almost middle-aged in a flash, and sometimes he really envied young people like Zhao Mu.

After Qiao Feng left, Duan Zhengchun and Zhao Mu returned to the house again.

Duan Zhengchun poured Zhao Mu another glass of water and wine, and then asked: "I wonder if Mr. Zhao went to Dali to look for me this time for the purpose of marrying Wan'er?"

Zhao Mu also answered frankly: "Yes. But it would be better to call Miss Mu and Senior Qin together to discuss this matter." Duan Zhengchun waved his hand and said: "I don't think so. Mr. Zhao is a young and talented man. If my Wan'er can marry you, she has found a good son-in-law. Since ancient times, marriage has been a major matter, and the parents have ordered the matchmaker. My consent as the father is enough. "

Zhao Mu chuckled lightly when he heard this and said: "To be honest with you, the prince, I went to look for Miss Mu this time just because I didn't want to follow my parents' orders to be a matchmaker. I think it would be better for the prince to invite Senior Qin and Miss Mu here."

Duan Zhengchun couldn't resist Zhao Mu, so he had to smile and then went to call Qin Hongmian and Mu Wanqing in.

After Mu Wanqing and her daughter entered the door, several people sat down. Zhao Mu then said: "The thing is like this. This time I went south to Dali to find the prince and Miss Mu before we discussed the marriage. I still had to do countless things about the marriage with Miss Mu. After all, the incident in the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations was Zhao's fault. I am ashamed of Miss Mu. I have ruined Miss Mu’s reputation and ruined the family tradition of Dali. If I don’t ask, it will always be bad.”

Mu Wanqing stared into Zhao Mu's eyes and said, "Oh! Are you really here to inquire, not to force a marriage?"

Zhao Mu smiled and shook his head and said: "Of course not. Although this time is a discussion, the real decision-making power lies in the hands of Miss Mu. If Miss Mu is willing, then you and I will get married according to the previous arrangements of the emperor and the prince. . But if Miss Mu doesn’t want to, that’s okay. Then Zhao will accept his mother’s arrangement and marry the fourth princess of the Huyan family of Prince Zhongxiao’s palace as his wife.”

Hearing this, Qin Hongmian couldn't help but frown, then slapped the table and said: "Zhao! What do you think of my Wan'er! Since you already have a marriage contract, why bother bothering my Wan'er again! Although my Wan'er is not a prince, It’s coming out, but it’s not anyone else’s turn to pick and choose. If you want to marry someone else, go and marry yourself, why bother asking us again!”

Qin Hongmian took her daughter's hand and said, "Wan'er, let's go!"

Seeing Qin Hongmian suddenly getting angry, Zhao Mu quickly stood up and said, "Senior Qin, please calm down, please calm down and let me finish my speech."

Duan Zhengchun also grabbed Qin Hongmian at this time and said: "Hongmian, don't worry, let Mr. Zhao finish his words first. If he is really a man of Qin and Muchu, why would he travel thousands of miles from Yanmendai to Dali to find us? Woolen cloth."

When Mu Wanqing heard this, she rolled her eyes and said sarcastically: "Yes, there are many heartless men in the world, but it is really rare to see someone as heartless as my father, abandoning his wife and daughter, and turning a blind eye." He said. Zhumu Wanqing looked at Zhao Mu, "At least he is going to marry another woman, and he will travel thousands of miles to ask me. It's not like some people who hesitate even to see me."

Duan Zhengchun couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

Zhao Mu looked at Mu Wanqing's always sinister look, and he always felt like there was something going on here. Although Mu Wanqing is jealous and sometimes ruthless, she is the one who can't hide things in her heart. She is the most upright among Duan Zhengchun's daughters. Zhao Mu felt that there seemed to be some big melon that he didn't know he could eat.

Mu Wanqing said to Zhao Mu at this time: "Zhao! If you have anything to say, just say it! Stop beating around the bush! What I hate most are those men who are secretive about their mothers-in-law."

Zhao Mu let out a long breath, then sat down again. He looked at Mu Wanqing with a smile and said, "Okay! In that case, I'll keep the story short. But Miss Mu's straightforwardness is also what I like about you."
