Zhuo Wenjun cried like a tearful person. He hid in his room and refused to go anywhere. He didn't even eat breakfast.
Dong Qian sighed: "What problem can you solve by crying like this? No matter what happens, eat a full meal first to have the strength to deal with it. Be obedient and eat a little."
Zhuo Wenjun shook his head: "Father has already gone to find Tang Meng. If Tang Meng sends troops here, there will be no room for maneuver on this matter."
"That's not something you have to worry about. Since you dare to do such a thing, they must have a plan. You should eat well. If it doesn't work, I will take you out. Your servants and nurses are like nothing in front of me.
.”
"Kill out?" Zhuo Wenjun was shocked.
"Yes! Fight out, your father will ruin your life just because of such a trivial matter. He is like a father. Listen to me, if you have made up your mind, you must never look back. No matter how difficult it is, don't be afraid.
As long as you back down, you will never see your Mr. Sima again."
Zhuo Wenjun blushed and buried his head.
"Okay, don't be shy, eat quickly, and then talk to your father after eating. If it still doesn't work, then you have to do this, but you have to be mentally prepared. At that time, there will be no turning back!"
"Yeah!" Zhuo Wenjun stopped crying, wiped his tears, and picked up his rice bowl.
The literary party entered the lobby, and several people saluted. Su Ren greeted Dong Zhongshu as his son-nephew, with a humble attitude and a smile on his face. Dong Zhongshu was a little uncomfortable with the respectful manner. Before he could say anything, Su Ren waved his hand, and Huang Shisan quickly handed over the silk
The silk was handed to Su Ren's hand.
Su Ren held the silk in both hands and presented it to Dong Zhongshu: "Angel above, I have prepared some small gifts, please accept them. This trip to Jiangdu is very dangerous, these small gifts may come in handy."
Dong Zhongshu didn't answer and only looked at Su Ren.
Chang Shi coughed and said, "Don't be offended, angel. This junior brother of mine is quite good at doing business. He is rich beyond comparison with other countries. It is absolutely true that he has a huge fortune. This thing is just a drop in the bucket. You are welcome."
Wen Dang stroked his beard: "If the angel is afraid of the censor, how about I bear witness for you?"
Only then did Dong Zhongshu take the gift list, unfold it gently and look at it carefully. They were really ordinary things. After reading until the end, Dong Zhongshu found a clue. The last line clearly said "two wild geese". He rubbed his eyes and looked carefully.
After taking a look, it was indeed two wild geese. As a representative of Confucianism, he must have a clear understanding of etiquette. Sending wild geese is not just a random gift. It only appears when receiving gifts, and it is a live wild goose.
"Prefect, what does this mean?" Dong Zhongshu pointed at the gift list.
Wen Dang smiled and said nothing, Chang Shi quickly said: "It doesn't mean anything. Su Xiaowei is grateful to the angels for their hard work for the country. Yesterday, he happened to catch two wild geese and sent them to the angels to replenish their bodies! Speaking of which, winter has already entered.
It’s really not easy to catch wild geese, and I don’t know how Su Xiaowei did it.”
"Don't try to trick me. I know very well what sending the wild geese means!" Dong Zhongshu's face turned ugly: "If you think I am also that Zhuo Wangsun, please take me back!"
Wen Dang waved his hand: "Angel, don't be angry. Since I sent it, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I had some misunderstandings with Miss Dong yesterday. I think Angel should know that things in this world are so strange. Just at this glance, I
The disciple fell in love with Miss Dong. As this boy’s teacher, I naturally have no choice but to bite the bullet and give it a try!"
"Humph! This is absolutely impossible!"
Several people did not expect Dong Zhongshu to refuse so simply.
Chang Shi laughed twice: "Angel, don't refuse so quickly. My junior brother is young and promising. He is already a school captain at a young age and has made many contributions to the court. His future future is limitless. Miss Dong will definitely marry my junior brother."
I won’t humiliate her!”
Dong Zhongshu waved his hand: "There is no need to say more about this matter. I will never agree to it. Please come back, please!" As he spoke, he threw the gift list in front of Su Ren.
Wen Dang really didn't know how delicious it was, but he agreed to Su Ren, so he could only force it: "Angels don't ask Miss Dong what she means? If Miss Dong also has this intention, this is definitely a great thing."
"When children get married, parents order a matchmaker. I don't agree with this marriage. It's useless to ask her. Come and see off the guests!"
Dong Zhongshu ignored everyone and got up and left. The three of them were left sitting in the lobby blankly. You look at me and I look at you. According to Wen Dang's thinking, this matter will not be so difficult. Su Renchang's
Fairly acceptable, with good facial features and no disabilities. Now he is still a school captain and a student of his literary party, and he has quite a lot of money. I am afraid that not many people in the world have such good conditions. How could Dong Zhongshu disagree?
Wen Dang looked at Su Ren: "Honestly, did you offend Angel somewhere? Why does he look down on you so much?"
Su Ren also felt baffled. If Dong Zhongshu was angry about what happened last night, he would not throw up his sleeves and walk away. Considering the relationship between Dong Zhongshu and the Wen Party, at least not mentioning it in terms of face, Su Ren felt strange to deny it so firmly.
He shook his head to show that he didn't know: "The student really didn't offend the angel in any way. He is respectful and polite and dare not make any mistakes. The last time he met with the angel was in the teacher's house, and today he didn't say a word!"
"Hey! Think about it carefully!" Chang Shi shook his head and sighed, helping Wen Dang to walk out. He was happy but came back disappointed, feeling particularly uncomfortable.
After leaving the Meng Family Courtyard, Su Ren beckoned Huang Shisan over: "Ask Liu Gao to send someone to investigate immediately to see what went wrong. I still don't believe it. Someone must be causing trouble in this matter!"
"promise!"
Dong Qian didn't know about this. She watched Zhuo Wenjun finish a bowl of rice and waved to the servants to clean up. There were only two of them left in the room, and there were many things they could say at this time.
Holding Zhuo Wenjun's hand: "Go and talk to your father after dinner. Don't be afraid. I promise to help you and I will do it!"
Zhuo Wenjun nodded, but hesitated: "I'm still worried that my father won't agree. You don't know that Su Ren's Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce is about to push my father to a dead end. Is it right to talk at this time..."
"I just ask you, do you like Sima Xiangru?"
"I……"
"to be honest!"
"Master Sima has outstanding literary talent and superb piano skills. He is a good match."
"Okay! Since you agree, this matter will be taken care of by me. No matter whether it works or not, I will wait for you in your room. Go ahead! If it really doesn't work, I have to make a last resort!"
"this……"
"If you are still hesitant now, then I will not care about this matter. You can stay here for the rest of your life!"
Dong Qian stood up to leave, but Zhuo Wenjun quickly stopped her: "Okay, don't be angry. I know you are doing it for my own good. I will go find my father right now."
Soon, Zhuo Wenjun came back with red eyes and obvious traces of tears on his cheeks. As soon as he entered the house, he threw himself into Dong Qian's arms and choked with sobs: "Father told me to give up and never think about marrying again in this life! Woo woo woo.
…”
Dong Qian's eyebrows rose: "He is really a heartless person. In this case, you can't blame us. You should pack up now. Don't bring too many things. We will take action tonight."
"Ah! Isn't it too fast?"
"Now that you've decided, just do it. How many more days will your father agree?"
Zhuo Wenjun shook his head. Dong Qian said: "It's over now! Go quickly!"
It was a dark night, and Su Ren was sitting in the lobby. The door of the hall was wide open, and the cold wind blew in. The whole room was like an ice cellar. The flame of the oil lamp was floating back and forth, fighting against the night wind. Liu Gao had been out for a long time, but there was no
A bit of news. Su Ren thought of A Xun. If he were here, this matter would be much easier to handle.
The Twelfth Mother and the Thirteenth Mother came hand in hand. When they met, the Twelfth Mother sat down with Su Ren and said, "You haven't figured it out yet? Hehe, give me five hundred dollars and I will tell you the truth!"
Su Ren stood up quickly: "You know?"
"Give me five hundred dollars and you will know whether I know or not."
"Give me money!" Su Ren winked at Huang Shisan. Huang Shisan took out the money bag from his arms, weighed it twice in his hand, and threw it to Twelve Niangs.
Twelve Niang laughed and poured all the coins on the table, making a loud clatter. Su Ren asked anxiously: "Tell me, why?"
"One, two, three..." Twelve Niang ignored Su Ren and began to concentrate on counting the money.
Thirteenth Mother smiled helplessly: "Actually, this root is still with Zhuo Wangsun. Do you still remember the discussion you made on the Three Strategies of Heaven and Man in Shiliting when we welcomed the angels a few days ago?"
"What's going on?"
"What else is going on? What a fool!" Twelve Niang stopped counting the money, turned to Su Ren and said: "The Three Strategies of Heaven and Man were proposed by Dong Zhongshu. You criticized other people's theories as worthless. Yesterday Zhuo
Wang Sun told Dong Zhongshu about this, what do you think Dong Zhongshu would think?"
"Ah! Just for this?"
"What? You think it's less?"
Su Ren returned to his seat, holding his head with regret. Liu Gao stepped in the door and was about to open his mouth. However, Su Ren reached out to stop him. Liu Gao looked at Huang Shisan and then at Twelfth Niang inexplicably.
and Thirteenth Niang were a little at a loss.
"It's this Zhuo Wangsun again, it seems he is going to fight me to the death!" Su Ren suddenly stood up and strode out the door, looking like a man.
The Thirteenth Mother looked at the Twelfth Mother who was concentrating on counting money: "Sister, do you think your husband will take revenge on Zhuo Wangsun? Zhuo Wangsun's daughter is Mr. Sima's future wife!"
Twelve Niangs counted the money and put it into the purse, one by one carefully: "Then it doesn't matter. He knows exactly what to do. You and I don't have to worry about it. Look at how beautiful the stars are in the sky. Do you like it?"
You can look at more stars."
Thirteenth Niang shook her head and smiled bitterly. She didn't have any share of the five hundred dollars extorted from Su Ren tonight.
It was a sunny day tonight, and the stars in the sky were very bright, and there were many, twinkling beautifully. Dong Qian opened the door gently, and a few servants came out of the outer room. They came out quietly, and stepped forward to take a look.
With a smile on his face, he turned around and waved. Zhuo Wenjun followed Dong Qian and walked gently out the door carrying a small baggage. The two of them walked in unison, and the moonlight stretched their shadows very long, which looked very funny. (To be continued)
