Chapter 17 Marry Me
Chapter 17 Marry Me
During the tea break, Liu Zhao hurried over to report to Shao Shi: "The Lord City Lord has arrived."
"So fast?" Shaw, who put down the teacup, couldn't help poking his face out, and asked, "Why didn't you see anyone?"
Liu Zhao smiled and replied: "Madam, don't be in a hurry. Chu Ji bumped into the city lord at the front door. He was afraid that Madam would be impatient, so he sent me to report first. I guess I'll be there in a while."
With half a smile and annoyance in Shao's eyes, he said, "This Chuji really deserves to be beaten. What nonsense are you talking about? Who is waiting impatiently?"
The eldest princess saw Shao's expression in her eyes, her eyes rolled, but she didn't say a word.It is said that Feishuang Zangxue is a high-quality tea, which is very sweet and refreshing. Why did I try it today, but I didn't wait for the sweetness, but I figured out a sour taste?
After a while, Chuji's voice came from the hall: "My lord is here—"
Hearing this, the princess straightened her body leaning on the armrest of the seat, and forced herself to look at the man who was walking towards her.
The man covered with gauze walked steadily, but made no sound, his deep and slender eyes showed no extra emotion, and he didn't even glance at the princess at all.
Seeing this, Shao hurriedly got up and gave up his seat, while he sat down next to him.
The eldest princess observed her words and expressions, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on her calm face:
"I heard that the city lord has been ill recently, and my father is busy with government affairs, so I will greet you on my own initiative, and I can express my sympathy for my father. If my father is free in the future, I will definitely come to express my condolences to the city lord in person. grown-ups."
Wuma really bowed his head, coughed a few times through the veil, and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you Princess and King Xijue for your compassion, Wuma really remembers this friendship in his heart."
After finishing speaking, he raised his eyes: "The princess is here today to discuss something, but it doesn't matter."
There was a trace of astonishment on Shuqi's face, and then quickly covered it up: "The city lord still saw it. It's just that it's inconvenient for too many people to know about it..."
Shao heard the meaning behind his words, got up just in time and said: "I will go and see if the medicine in the back kitchen is ready."
After all, he helped the servants out.
As soon as Shao's left, Wumazhen picked up the hot tea and twirled the cup with his fingers:
"The princess came here to make peace with Beijiang, right?"
As soon as this remark came out, Shuqi grabbed the armrest tightly and couldn't help but enlarge her eyes: "Does the city lord know?"
Of course I know.This news caused a sensation in Liangshuo, Wuma really covered the sky with one hand in Liangshuo, there is no reason not to know.She slowly let go of her hand, whose joints were white from excessive force, took a deep breath, and said:
"I came here this time to ask the city lord to help me."
"Oh?" Wumazhen had an unbelievable smile in his eyes, "I would like to hear more about it."
"This time, Xijue held a Buddhist meeting. On the surface, the monks from Northern Xinjiang were there, but in fact, the envoys from Northern Xinjiang were also mixed in. The emperor met the envoys from Northern Xinjiang overnight. I don't know who instigated it, and reached an agreement to marry the princess to each other. Looking at the entire harem, there are only me and Yao Qi who are of marriageable age. Therefore, it is not her who married far away, but me."
"Then what can I do for the princess?" Wuma really didn't tell the truth.
Shuqi gritted her teeth, and said, "Marry me."
As soon as these words came out, Chu Ji who was standing behind Wumazhen choked on his saliva and quickly covered his mouth.
Wumazhen gave him a sideways glance to signal him to go out, then said without changing expression: "I'm married, not a good match."
Shuqi said: "I can be small. No matter how bad it is, you just marry me back and raise me in the house for a while, and when this matter is over, you can just divorce me."
Hard enough.
Wuma really laughed, but her eyes were cold and cold: "Princess's move is to put my younger sister in danger of drowning Princess Qi."
Isn't it rumored that the two princesses and sisters are deeply in love?Why do they each make a fuss when rumors of a marriage get out?
"It's a lifelong event, not a trifling matter." Shu Qi leaned forward, her voice lowered, "I remember that a few days ago, the city lord had some feuds with my younger sister. I understand my younger sister's temperament, and she will definitely not let it go. If the city lord is willing, I will adjust from it and resolve the conflict."
Even know about rabbits?Wu Mazhen said: "It seems that the princess has done a lot of homework before coming. Just look at the Western Jue, there are many important officials in the court who are not married, the princess might as well think about them first."
"I have done enough consideration, you are the best choice, Lord City Lord." Shu Qi said eagerly.
Wuma really didn't answer, she just sipped tea.This tea exudes a faint milky aroma, which he is not used to.
The reason why Shuqi came to him was because of the Buddhist banquet a few days ago, when he announced the news that he would die soon.Marrying him means not only avoiding the turmoil of the marriage, but also having the power in Liangshuo after his death, isn't it the best choice?
"If the city lord is worried that Mrs. Zun does not agree, I can go and talk to her. I can satisfy whatever she asks, and I don't have to bother the city lord." Shuqi's eyes were affectionate, and her voice became charming, "If I can live for the city lord in the future A son and a half daughter can be regarded as repaying the kindness of the city lord..."
She thinks that she has considered all aspects, plus she is young, beautiful and powerful, Wuma really has no reason to refuse.
Unexpectedly, Wumazhen put down the tea in his hand and said without the slightest hesitation: "Forgive me for being difficult."
Shuqi's eyes widened, her face in disbelief: "Why?"
Wuma really said slowly: "Princess, please take a look at the city lord's mansion, besides madam, is there a second concubine room?"
Shu Qi shook her head.The City Lord's Mansion is deserted and deserted, not to mention the female relatives, she hasn't even seen a decent maid since she entered the door.The only two I saw were from Shaw's house.
She forcefully smiled: "Perhaps it is because the city lord and his wife are deeply in love with each other, so they don't want to marry a concubine?"
She was actually suspicious about this point, she had heard that Wuma really had a son, and it wasn't born in the main room, could it be born by a prostitute raised outside?
As if guessing what she was thinking, Wuma really didn't panic, and fanned the flames expressionlessly: "I am weak, and I have always been powerless in matters between men and women. If it weren't for the women outside who used some strange tricks, There will be no birth of my son."
Ah, this... Shuqi couldn't help covering her mouth with a silk handkerchief.
Although she didn't want to marry far away, she was even more unwilling to marry someone who couldn't do what she wanted.
She is still young, how can she stand this kind of torture?If they really got married, wouldn't it be possible for her majestic princess to learn some tricks from Huajianliushi?
must.
Seeing that her expression was loose, Wuma sneered inwardly, and took another dose of strong medicine:
"And in recent days, my illness has become more and more serious. I actually feel that there are only mediocre women in the world, but some young and strong men. They are drugged, tied and thrown on the bed, which can make me feel a little depressed. interest."
The white porcelain teacup in Shuqi's hand fell to the ground.
The maid who came with her hurriedly knelt down to pick them.
"I see it's going to rain, so I have to go back to the palace first." Shuqi got up, almost stepped on her skirt, and said goodbye in a stumbling manner.
Wumazhen followed suit, his tone remained unchanged: "I respectfully send off the eldest princess."
After the princess's sedan chair walked away, Shao Shi appeared behind the screen and slowly stood beside him.
"The days that the Cang Mansion promised me are numbered." Shao Wenxiang said, her tone was not as gentle as before, with a sense of determination.
"Yeah." Wuma really responded, looking at the dark clouds in the sky pressing down on the city, "The sky is about to change."
Sijin sneezed.
He was just about to turn over, but suddenly he heard a thunderclap, and then big raindrops hit the linden tree in the courtyard, crackling.
He had to get up, but found that it was dark.
After the peacock left, he just took a nap. Why did he sleep for so long?
Just as he was about to go out, a figure stopped him.
Si Jin raised her head and asked suspiciously, "Si Zhan?"
"Hush—" Si Zhan locked the door with his backhand mysteriously, "Hush down."
"What's wrong?" Sijin still had sleep marks on her face, a little confused.
"The city lord has come to Taihe Temple. The host told us not to go out in disorder now, so as not to make too much noise and make the city lord unhappy." Si Zhan said.
After speaking, he handed Sijin two perilla cakes, found a futon and sat cross-legged, looking at the rain hanging upside down from the eaves, with a sad face: "We probably can only have dinner here."
Sijin also sat down and asked
"You just said that the city lord is here? Which city lord?"
"Who else could it be, Wumazhen? He didn't know why he had a brainstorm, and he actually said that he wanted to move his family into the Taihe Temple for a while. The host and the head are talking to him. It may not be settled for a while. , anyway, no matter what the outcome is, we'll just wait."
Come to stay in Taihe Temple with your family?
Sijin put down the perilla cake and stood up without saying a word: "I'll go find the host."
"Hey," Si Zhan was taken aback, and quickly pulled him back, "Why are you going? If the city owner insists on staying, we can't help it. At worst, we can build a separate courtyard for him and his family. Is it possible? Can he still move to the west courtyard to share a room with us young monks?"
What he said seemed to make sense.
Sijin calmed down.
However, when he raised his eyes again, he saw Chu Ji not far away, braving the rain, coming towards his room.
"Why are you?" Sijin asked.Why did the followers around Peacock come to him?
A bad premonition arises spontaneously.
Si Zhan blinked his eyes and looked at Chu Ji curiously with the cake in his mouth.
Chu Ji shook the rain that fell on his body, and said out of breath: "The Lord City Master said that he has taken a fancy to your room, and if there is no accident, he will live here tonight, please let me come over and let you Clean it up early so it doesn't get messy."
Si Zhan's pancake rolled to the ground with a gurgling sound.
Sijin frowned and asked, "He lives with me, so where should I live?"
How can there be such a dove occupying a magpie's nest?
Chu Ji scratched his head, wondering: "This... the city lord didn't explain it. If it doesn't work, I'll ask the city lord for you?"
"Don't ask." Sijin said, "This is my meditation room, and I will never let it out."
The author has something to say:
Peacock: Don't they just live together?
