Chapter 402 Leaving Seclusion

"Mother."

"Son!"

As soon as Wen Shichang entered the door, his uncle's wife, Mrs. Yu, howled and threw herself into her son's arms: "Son, what's going on with that oiran in the brothel?"

"Yes..." Wen Shichang was speechless for a moment. In the eyes of his mother, he had always been a clean and upright young man. But Sister Nanxiang was different. She was definitely not an ordinary brothel girl, otherwise he would not like her so much.

"Son! Tell me, does the oiran have anything to do with you?"

"Mom, don't get excited. Sit down first and listen to your son slowly talking to you."

"How can we not be in a hurry? The oiran has already entered our house!"

Wen Shichang's heart skipped a beat: "Have you already entered?"

Mrs. Yu was so anxious that she almost shed tears: "My wife is not married yet, but my concubine has entered the house first, and she is still a prostitute in a brothel. How can you find a girl from a good family again in the future!"

"What...what do you mean? Mother, this matter is not difficult. My son will explain it to the Song family."

"Hey, what's the Song family? Don't you like that girl from the Song family? Yesterday, my mother went to the Song family to cancel the marriage! You should tell my mother when did you go to a brothel and have an affair with the courtesan?

Are you involved?"

"What?!" Wen Shichang was stunned, "What does it mean to cancel an engagement?"

"Don't you dislike the fourth girl of the Song family? Don't you think she is not good-looking?" Mrs. Yu tightly pulled her son's sleeves and looked at her with tears in her eyes, "She is a concubine, but that Master Song

Now he has resigned from office..."

Mr. Yu became more and more aggrieved as he spoke. Wen Shichang sighed deeply and helped his mother sit down: "Forget it, mother, just back off. My son... really doesn't like the fourth girl from Song Dynasty very much."

"That brothel prostitute, are you really going to let her in?"

"Mom, that Nanxiang girl from Yichun Tower, she... my son likes her very much. If you don't like her, your son can just keep her outside for the time being."

"You!" Mrs. Yu looked at her always upright son in disbelief. Sadness, disappointment, and discomfort all came to her heart.

My head felt dizzy and I almost fell down.

Mammy supported her, and Mrs. Yu sat down and took a few breaths, stroking her heart: "Forget it! Forget it. As long as you like it, Mom will not do anything to her, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get a wife in the future. Otherwise

, Mom, will you go to the Song family again to talk?"

"No, mother! Forget it, if you go to the Song family, you will be enmity. Mr. Song has resigned again. After all, the Song family is still the Yue family of His Highness. Our family has gone too far. We don't want to cause trouble." Wen Shichang

He was also a little confused. He felt that he needed to write a letter to his father and ask him what he meant. He always felt that there was something fishy about the whole thing.

Just when Wen Shichang was about to ask his mother what had happened in the past few days, the housekeeper suddenly ran in a little panicked and said: "Madam, Prince, there are rumors outside..."

"What are you spreading? Say it quickly!" Wen Shichang's eyelids twitched, and he had an intuition that something bad had happened.

"It was said that Governor Mu from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division brought gifts to the Song family. He said... he said he was going to propose marriage!"

Wen Shichang's breath froze, his head buzzed, and he looked at his mother helplessly. After seeing the astonishment and shock on his mother's face, his eyes fell on the grandmother beside his mother.

Mammy hesitated for a long time, and then said: "A few days ago, a few days after Mr. Song resigned, Madam sent a slave to the Song Mansion, saying that the eight characters were incompatible. For the sake of dignity, she wanted the Song Mansion to find a reason to marry her.

Retreat first... The Song family delayed the engagement until yesterday but they still didn’t come to cancel the engagement, so yesterday I went to the Song Mansion to say that I wanted to cancel the engagement."

Wen Shichang was stunned. He had an intuition that Nanxiang was not redeemed by Fourth Brother Ning, but that His Highness was dissatisfied with the Wen family's divorce.

I'm afraid this Nanxiang can't be kept outside anymore. He's riding a tiger and it's hard to get off. He has to be taken in even if he doesn't want to be accepted, otherwise there will be even worse messages waiting for him.

"Mother, don't think about it for now. Let Nan Xiang come in first."

In the Song family, Mr. Song still did not immediately agree to Mu Lei's request.

"Ahem! It's not that I think the general is not good enough, it's just that this important matter of marriage requires three matchmakers and six betrothals. Although Qianqian is a concubine, she is still my beloved daughter. If the general is sincere in asking for his hand in marriage, he should act according to the old rules.

"Song Jianming said deliberately with a straight face.

Mrs. Liang secretly tugged on Song Jianming's sleeve, "It's such a good marriage, so don't be pretentious! It's good if someone condescends to marry Qianqian, so hurry up and agree. Why are you showing off! You still think you are the second minister of the cabinet!"

Unexpectedly, Mu Lei nodded very seriously and said: "My father-in-law is right, my son-in-law was rude this time. My son-in-law will go back and make preparations now, and I will never let Qianqian be wronged!"

Not to mention Liang, even Song Jianming was surprised by Mu Lei's sincere proposal to marry him. He spoke of his father-in-law and his son-in-law, as if he was afraid that the matter would be blown away.

Song Jianming's heart calmed down a little and he said in a deep voice: "In this case, we will wait for news from the general."

Within two days, Mu Lei invited the most qualified official media in Beijing to propose marriage to the Song Dynasty.

The preparation of the betrothal gift also became known throughout the city, and even Li Zhao was alarmed. It was shopkeeper Liu of the Zhenbao Pavilion. He said that Governor Mu had placed an order of 100,000 taels of silver at the Zhenbao Pavilion, and bought a lot of headgear and jewelry.

There is a statue of Guanyin holding a child, and he also likes a large rough stone, saying that he wants to carve it into a landscape ornament with an Antarctic fairy. The shopkeeper is afraid that this fool will empty out his family in order to get married, so he comes to the Qiandi to meet Li Zhao.

Said something.

Li Zhao laughed out loud, shook his head and said: "Let him go, Mr. Song will not withhold the betrothal gift. If the betrothal gift is added to the dowry, won't it return to Mu Lei's hands? Just do as he is told,

Show your true ability and do it well."

Shopkeeper Liu must have said that after talking about General Mu, he took out a box with a smile, saying that it was a new product recently released by Baoyue Tower, and he wanted to let the princess have a look.

Li Zhao waved his hand: "Come back in a while, she has something busy recently."

Shopkeeper Liu was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said yes again, and left with the lacquered wooden box.

Song Qingyue went to the small courtyard next to the cabinet for grading imperial examination papers to mark the mathematics competition papers.

In order to facilitate the feeding of the little cub, I took the little cub and its wet nurse away together.

Song Qingyue took ten maids from Wufangzhai to correct the 11,269 mathematics competition papers for five days. After that, it took three days to check, and another two days to sort out the rankings. In other words, the results

The rankings will be released on the first day of August.

When he was released from the small courtyard next to the cabinet, Li Zhao felt that his baby's eyes were out of focus.

After squinting for a while, he seemed to be sure that the person who came to take him home was Li Zhao.

"Hug!" Song Qingyue stretched out her hands, and Li Zhao put his arms around her waist. With a gentle push, Song Qingyue jumped up, then hung on Li Zhao like a koala, rubbing his cheek against his stubble.

Later, the little boy was held in Wang Gu's arms and was sleeping soundly. Li Zhao was so busy kissing his wife that he even forgot to take a look at his little boy.

"Are you tired?" Li Zhao asked.

Song Qingyue rested her head on Li Zhao's shoulder and hummed softly, then buried her face in his collar, took a deep breath, and said delicately: "My husband smells so good, I really like the smell of Brother Azhao."

Li Zhao tightened his arms and bit the little woman's ear threateningly: "Don't you want to live tonight?"

The irritating woman immediately hugged her husband's neck and acted coquettishly: "Don't be so fierce, he is so scared."

This is a new word. Once Song Qingyue starts acting coquettishly, Li Zhao always feels that he has no defense ability at all and can't do anything to her. His heart softens to the point of water, so he just carries her all the way to the carriage.

The road in the capital was relatively smooth. Song Qingyue leaned in Li Zhao's arms and was about to fall asleep. Li Zhao bent down and kissed her on the cheek: "Your fourth sister's marriage has been decided."

The words were spoken a bit suddenly, and Song Qingyue suddenly stopped feeling sleepy. She opened her eyes roundly, straightened up and stared at Li Zhao: "Who?"

"The Commander-in-Chief of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, Mu Lei."

Li Zhao spoke so eloquently that Song Qingyue frowned instantly: "My surname is Mu? What is your relationship with the concubine Shun in the palace?"

Li Zhao was speechless for a moment.

Just thinking about Mu Lei's ability, good character, decent appearance, young and promising, he became the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division in less than thirty years old. From all aspects, he is the best.

candidate, but he forgot that this was Concubine Shun’s biological brother!

That shun concubine is not a contented master.

Song Qingyue was thoughtful: "I heard that that man was very capable and won the top prize in martial arts at the age of eighteen. What does he look like?"

"Of course he is not as good as your husband, but he is still square and handsome."

"Is he also a good person?"

Li Zhao hummed: "Of course, my brother."

Song Qingyue rolled her eyes at him, and Li Zhao looked innocent: "Why are you looking at your husband like this? Isn't your husband not enough of a god? Not clean enough?"

"No, I just asked, don't worry... After all, she is my biological sister. She was a little willful when she was young, but now that she has grown up, she is also a good and sensible child. I don't want her to have a bad life."

"Don't worry, Mu Lei is just a stupid boy. As long as your sister has even the slightest bit of coquettishness from you, that guy's life will be guaranteed."

Song Qingyue blinked, why are these words so weird?

That night, Li Zhao was obsessed with the newlyweds until late in the night. He listened to Song Qingyue crying so pitifully that he gave up. But when the beautiful woman with snowy skin in his arms looked at her with tearful eyes, his thoughts that had just stopped returned.

Ready to move...

The next day, Song Qingyue, who was in a state of disarray, decided to do nothing and lie in bed for a day to recuperate.

She was lying on the bed, eating iced grapes, and thinking about when to invite Mu Lei out for an inspection. Song Quan hurriedly came to Qiandi and said that the concubine Shun in the palace had recruited Qianqian to the palace!
