Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 302 Seeking a vassal

Zhao Ji and Concubine Chai were waiting in the middle hall early, sitting on the left and right.

Zhao Mu also sat in the guest seat at the bottom, waiting for his wife's arrival.

After the three of them waited for a long time, Mu Wanqing walked slowly with the support of Mei Lan, Zhu Ju and others.

At the moment, Mu Wanqing's whole body was sore, especially her legs, which seemed to have just grown. Her legs would tremble even if she took half a step.

Fortunately, Qiu Shuang's makeup on Mu Wanqing's face covered the fatigue on her face.

But seeing Mu Wanqing still needing help, the two mothers understood instantly.

After that, the two of them looked at Zhao Mu with a playful look on their faces.

Looking at the burning eyes of the two mothers, Zhao Mu could only raise his head and glance around, not daring to look at them.

Seeing her son's reaction, Zhao Ji couldn't help hiding her face and laughing.

At this moment, Dongxue came to the door with a mysterious look on her face. She nodded to the two ladies sitting in the hall.

Then Ju Jian squatted next to Mu Wanqing with two cups of tea. Mu Wanqing took a cup of tea and said to Concubine Chai: "My daughter-in-law offers tea to her mother-in-law!"

After her daughter-in-law served tea to her mother-in-law, Mu Wanqing went back to her room to rest with the support of Sijian.

Sijian then lifted Mu Wanqing to a chair aside. Mu Wanqing looked at her husband sitting opposite, feeling shy and resentful.

Zhao Ji stood up, walked to Mu Wanqing and said, "Daughter-in-law, you have worked really hard. Hurry! Show your seat to the princess."

But in this kind of family, it no longer matters whether the gift is expensive or not. The dowry Mu Wanqing brought back alone was worth millions of taels of silver. The so-called drinking tea and giving gifts is just going through the red tape.

Originally, the gift Zhao Ji prepared for her daughter-in-law was her favorite hairpin, but she had already given that hairpin to A'Zhu. I can only prepare other gifts for Mu Wanqing.

Concubine Chai said at this time: "Haha, it seems that my wife is very unwell. If this is the case, I think the rules of serving tea will be waived."

Concubine Chai hurriedly took it, took a brief sip and put it aside. She smiled and said, "My wife is exempt from the gift." With that, Concubine Chai presented her gift.

The plum sword and bamboo sword held Mu Wanqing and asked her to kneel down slowly.

Lan Jian brought over a soft cushion.

At this time, Mu Wanqing supported the armrests of the chair with both hands, and stood up slowly regardless of her trembling legs. She said: "No! This rule is unavoidable. The child has just entered the house, how can he lose his etiquette."

Concubine Chai prepared a pair of jade bracelets for her new daughter-in-law. After Mu Wanqing took it, she thanked her mother-in-law.

Concubine Chai and Zhao Ji both understood it, and then a hint of joy appeared on their faces.

Afterwards, he served tea to Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji also took a small sip and put it aside. The wedding gift she prepared for Mu Wanqing was a pair of Dongzhu's earrings.

Seeing Mu Wanqing's strong look, the two mothers had no choice but to sit back and start the tea ceremony.

The two mothers wanted to give Zhao Mu a few words, but Zhao Mu said that there were still important things to do. Just when Zhao Mu came to the front yard, the concierge informed him that the emperor's brother had urgent matters and wanted to meet Zhao Mu and asked Zhao Mu to go to the post house to talk. And Duan Yu was asked to pick up Zhao Mu in person. Now Duan Yu is waiting in front of the door.

Zhao Mu asked the porter to tell Duan Yu that Mu Wanqing was serving tea and asked him to wait for a while.

After hearing what the concierge said, Duan Yu felt suddenly empty for some reason. Although he knew that it was impossible for him and Mu Wanqing, Mu Wanqing was his real first love. When he thought about his first love, he was already married. His heart felt like needles pricking him.

But then he thought that the person Mu Wanqing married was Zhao Mu, and the cloud in his heart was instantly relieved. I also thought that although nothing happened between the two of them in the stone house, I still felt a little sorry for Zhao Mu.

After Duan Yu waited for a while, Zhao Mu walked out of the house.

Looking at Zhao Mu with a happy face, Duan Yu said: "Brother-in-law! I am here to congratulate you on your wedding!"

Hearing this title, Zhao Mu couldn't help but feel a little awkward, but then he said: "I'm going to give you a gift to my brother." After saying that, he also gave Duan Yu a gift in return.

Zhao Mu and Duan Yu looked at me and I looked at you. They both felt that the names assigned to each other were very awkward.

Although Duan Yu is a little older than Zhao Mu, Zhao Mu is far more mature than Duan Yu. Duan Yu always regards Zhao Mu as his brother in his heart.

Zhao Mu couldn't hold it in anymore. He smiled and said, "Ah! This title sounds really unpleasant to my ears."

Duan Yu also replied: "I think so too. By the way, Brother Zhao, my father and father-in-law have something urgent to see you, so they specially ordered me to pick you up and take you to Guanyi."

Zhao Mu smiled when he heard this: "Oh? But the prince and Gao Houye have figured it out?"

Duan Yu nodded and said, "Yes, after careful consideration, my father and father-in-law decided to act according to the original plan. However, the specific details still need to be discussed with Brother Zhao."

Zhao Mu said: "In that case, let's leave quickly!"

Then the two of them got into the carriage, and the carriage soon arrived at the post.

After Gao Mei saw Zhao Mu, he still didn't look good. After all, Mu Wanqing's dowry was regarded by Gao Mei as his own property. She always felt that Mu Wanqing, the sister-in-law, got married with her money. Naturally, she doesn't have any good feelings toward Zhao Mu and his wife.

However, Zhao Mu is not stingy enough to want to be like a woman. What's more, I won't have any entanglements with her in the future.

Seeing that the relationship between his wife and brother-in-law was still like this, Duan Yu also felt very helpless.

Soon the two came to the inner room of Guanyi, where Gao Shengtai and Duan Zhengchun were waiting. In addition to the Three Treasures of the Study, there were two other things placed in front of Duan Zhengchun. The same is a blank certificate of credence, and the other is the national seal of the Dali Emperor.

Seeing this posture, Zhao Mu said: "It seems that my father-in-law and Lord Gao have really figured it out. Very good! My father-in-law and Lord Marquis have chosen the most correct path. Since Dali is so sincere, I, the Song Dynasty, will naturally I will reciprocate the favor and will not let Dali down."

Duan Zhengchun said at this time: "Yes. What the wise son-in-law said is true. Instead of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, it would be better to provide help in the snow."

But at this time Gao Shengtai said: "Your Majesty! We are betting on the national destiny of Dali Kingdom with you. Please tell me the truth, if Song and Liao start a war, what is the winning rate of Song Dynasty?"

Zhao Mu knew that this was actually what Duan Zhengchun wanted to ask, but due to the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law, he could not say this directly, so he asked an outsider, Gao Shengtai, to say it.

Zhao Mu replied confidently: "Ten percent! In a short time, the whole world will see that Liao people are also raised by their parents. If they are stabbed, their heads will fall off directly."

Hearing this, Gao Shengtai took a deep breath, then he smoothed his beard and looked at Duan Zhengchun and said, "Okay, I have no problem." He then looked at Zhao Mu and said, "Then Gao Shengtai wishes the prince a triumphant victory." .”

Zhao Mu cupped his hands and said, "Actually, Lord Gao and my father-in-law can go out with me to watch the battle. Let's see how I can use three thousand soldiers and horses to turn the arrogant Liao soldiers into dead souls."

Gao Mei walked in with his arms folded and said, "Okay! I'll let you go and see if you are bragging."
