Beiyang new warlord

"So, thank you, Brother Chen! From now on, our two families will be in-laws! Haha!"

In this era, women are not allowed to show their faces, but it doesn't mean that there are no entertainment programs for women. It is also a fashion for a few young ladies to gather together, recite poems, enjoy flowers and embroider.Moreover, this kind of gathering is often mixed with some unexpected guests. The most famous one is Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng in "The Romance of the West Chamber". These Jiangnan talents are also masters of stealing jade and fragrance.

The more oppressive the society is, the more splendor is actually flowing underneath.

Unfortunately, Miss Chen Jiajiao has such a rich private life.

In the evening, in the rain-watching pavilion in the back garden of a typical Hangzhou gentry, a young lady in a white dress and skirt was holding an embroidered basket, and was fascinated to look at the tender buds of new lotus roots and a few small fishes in the pond. Wandering non-stop, but it can be seen that Miss Jiao seems to be absent-minded, her crooked black eyebrows are furrowed, and she occasionally sighs.

"Miss, Miss Wu is here!"

Suddenly, the corner of the emerald green skirt of the servant girl at the entrance of the garden popped out, and she greeted her with a smile, as if the real man had come, and the young lady of the Chen family woke up immediately, taking three quick steps in two. She ran to the entrance of the yard, but to her disappointment, there was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl bouncing around like a rabbit holding an embroidered basket. Suddenly, her little face collapsed again.

"Yue'er, are you really the only one here?"

"Jiao'er, are you too disrespectful? I can't do it?"

"No! But today"

She pursed her lips angrily, before Miss Chen's family could finish speaking, Wu Yue'er had already grabbed her sleeve, and ran inside quickly in small steps.

At the corner of the wall, seeing no one was there, she tapped with her small fist, and after a while, a similar melody came from the other side, followed by a white shadow on the wall. down.

"Brother Wu Yun!"

Excited and coquettish, Miss Chen hugged him directly and fiercely.

It's really a bit of a gifted scholar and beautiful woman. The little sister of the Wu family pouted angrily and went to the side to embroider. In the pavilion, the mink fur coat had a new owner. She was very gentle. Chen Jiaoer's big cloak Changed it to Wu Yun's body, and tied the belt for him with affectionate hands. Mao Jue's gift included a small glass mirror with sleeves on it. Young Master Wu compared it in front of the mirror in a chic way. He smiled in admiration.

"Jiaomei is still careful. I have been traveling with Mr. Gandu and the others in Huqiu these few days. I feel a little chilly. I am going to buy a cold coat. Jiaomei has already done it well!"

She didn't explain how the coat came, but Miss Chen sighed lonely, and sat down to the side with her head lowered. Mr. Wu was full of surprise, and followed him to the side.

"What's wrong with Jiaomei? You asked me to come today. Is there anything urgent?"

"This may be the last afternoon I spend with Brother Ang!"

Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, Chen Jiaoer lowered her head sobbing.

"Tomorrow, my family ancestor will arrange for me to go to Taiping Town to meet that vulgar martial artist!"

"Oh? After so many days, Mr. Chen still hasn't rejected Mr. Shen?"

He raised his voice in surprise, but without Miss Chen noticing, Wu Yun's eyes narrowed, with a hint of vicious ruthlessness flickering, and when he stretched out his hand, he grabbed Chen Jiao'er's shoulder again.

"and me!"

Chapter 184. Chapter 180

There is a saying that women are not allowed to go to graves. When worshiping ancestors, men usually go and women stay at home, so Mao Jue was no exception.

"Pack up your things well. After visiting the grave in the morning, let's go at noon. We will go back to Zhoushan first, and then back to the north!"

While tightening the collar and arranging the appearance of the remains in front of the mirror, Mao Jue gave casual instructions, and on the other end, Su Yi, who was in a panic, also answered sweetly.

"Don't worry, master!"

The luggage of the two of them is actually quite a lot. Su Yi looks fresh in everything, and Mao Jue is actually quite extravagant. Before crossing, he did not earn much, but spent a lot, basically less than a month. As far as the Guang family is concerned, fortunately, he has enough money now, so he bought a lot of things for Mao Wenlong, Wen Meng, Zhang, Wen Bo and the two of them.

This is a second-rank general, which is a good thing for the Mao family in Taiping Town. The last time Mao Wenlong’s father Mao Wei died and was buried decades ago, several families were reluctant to take out even a sacrificial chicken and duck. This time, in order to get involved with Mao Jue, these guys have spent a lot of money, two pigs, two sheep, two chickens, two ducks and two geese. If the cows are not allowed to kill the cows, they would have to buy one. The sacrifices to the valuable golden book tree Jinhua and Xiaoshan It seems that there are more than a dozen strong men in the clan, and the elders of the clan are also well-dressed.

Because it is going to worship the ancestors, swords and swords are unlucky. Mao Jue's twenty soldiers also put their flintlock guns in the special gun pouches they made before they came, and hung them directly on the side of the saddle, swinging around on horseback. follow behind.

But before going for a mile, from the direction of Hangzhou City, three fast horses galloped over in a hurry and stopped the procession going to worship the ancestors. The middle-aged man in the round cap jumped off his horse at the side of the road and came straight towards Mao Jue.

"I've seen Young Master Sun!"

Seeing this man bow down and bow down, Mao Jue was really confused, he was stunned for a while, and then asked in astonishment.

"who are you?"

"Master Sun, the younger one is Shen An, the gatekeeper of the Shen residence! That day when you came to the door, it was the younger one who informed you!"

The corner of Mao Jue's mouth twitched subconsciously. He didn't pay attention to him for so many days. He came to the door when he was about to leave at the end of the term. Sure enough, nothing good happened! Sure enough, before Mao Jue asked, the door was already excited A series of baldness came out.

"Today, my master persuaded Mr. Chen to bring Miss Chen to meet Young Master Sun. It was at the bottom of Hangshan Mountain. My master told him to go straight to the bank of Qiantang River after offering sacrifices to his ancestors. Miss Chen will wait for you there." !"

"By the way, the master wants you to be more refined. Don't act like a vulgar warrior. You should memorize these words and phrases. You will talk to Ms. Chen later, and Mr. Chen will ask you something. Please choose some appropriate situations from the above. answer!"

Good guy, Mao Jue thought he was avoiding it, but he was forced to come at him again. As expected of his uncle, he even wrote a love poem for himself, so that Mao Jue couldn't even refuse. Just now he clasped his fist helplessly.

"Shen An, I'm going to worship my ancestors, and I'll go on a blind date when I go down the mountain, isn't it good?"

"Young Master Sun, this is also a joy. Besides, Young Master Sun is busy with military affairs, the sooner the marriage is married, the better. My master has already done it for you by adopting the etiquette of asking questions. Today, we only need to coax Master Chen and Miss Chen. It will be an auspicious day in three days, and the Shen residence will make preparations on the spot and arrange Young Master Sun's marriage!"

Why does this feel like a Lalang match?You have to rush to get married. Mao Jue really felt that his mouth was full of bitterness, but he really didn't dare not agree. Shen Guangzuo was with Mao Wenlong, and his position was even similar to his father. After all, Mao Wenlong was brought up by him. In order to save Shen Guangzuo's face, Mao Jue had no doubts at all. If Mao Wenlong didn't punch out his own shit, he would have done it clean!

In desperation, Mao Jue nodded sadly, reached out to take Shen's love poetry collection, and answered with a bitter face.

"Master Ben knows!"

Got it! I can’t leave today, and I have to go back with a headache. How can I tell Su Yi that Mao Jue was absent-minded in this ancestor worship ceremony? Fortunately, there are not many places that need him. The Xie family did all the chores for placing the sacrifices, and there was a special fire for the burning paper. Mao Jue only had to kowtow to the shouts.

Knocking to the east and knocking to the west is enough to toss people, but the trouble that Mr. Shen brought is not without benefits. After the midday memorial ceremony, Mao Qingyuan and the others wanted to arrange a banquet, and Mao Jue happened to take advantage of this matter It was pushed, so I can save myself from making false claims with these vain guys.

Coming down from the mountain at about twelve o'clock, Mao Jue had to go south again with the tossing and soiled soldiers. This place is far enough from the Qiantang River, and he needs to go in the direction of Hangzhou, which is more than [-] miles away. The road goes all the way to the edge of Linfu Mountain.

Not to mention, the heart of watching the excitement is really strong, and I don’t feel tired. The forty or so people in the eighth room of the Mao family also hung behind them far away, and they walked for another half an hour. to the place.

"General, it should be here!"

Mao Jue's blind date made the soldiers around him overjoyed. Far away, a soldier surnamed Shen beside him stretched out his hands and shouted excitedly.

It can be said that he lifted his head from the collection of love poems given by Shen Guangzuo, and glanced gloomily at Shen's relative Mao Jue, who looked like he was married to a wife, and then feebly raised his head, wanting to look ahead.

Not to mention, this place is beautiful enough, no wonder it was chosen by the ladies as a place to enjoy the spring. One side is next to Linfu Mountain, and a tributary of the Qiantang River is in the middle. Next to the dock pavilion on the north bank of the river, there is a large dense peach forest. It's more than April, and the peach blossoms here are already in full bloom. With the wind blowing in the river, the brilliant falling flowers are as romantic and unrestrained as flying snow, and the people watching are fascinated.

At the dock next to Taolin, a carriage had already parked there, several maids and servants placed wine and fruit on the ground, and there were a few boats tied to the river.

The blind date in this place didn't seem to be annoying, and I felt a lot happier. I jumped off the horse with the murderous soldier a dozen meters in front of the dock. Amidst the sound of laughter, he shook his head and led the two soldiers and dog legs, and walked in with air.

The servants on both sides should have been ready a long time ago. They greeted Mao Jue and went to the front of the carriage. Looking at the tightly covered curtain, they put the poetry collection given by Shen Guangzuo behind their buttocks. Mao Jue was also very literati. stand up.

"Peach Blossom Nunnery in Taohuawu, Peach Blossom Nunnery wrapped in peach blossom fairies. The sky is full of red snow and colorful falling, looking for the banks of the Huaxian River! Xiaosheng Dongjiang Mao Jue, meet Miss Chen!"

Not to mention, Miss Chen's voice is still very pleasant to hear, different from Su Yi's crisp and melodious, but similar to Qin Niang's Ru Ru Nuo Nuo Wu Nong's soft language, it is very comfortable to listen to, and she replied gently .

"The general is elegant, the little girl admires, admires, I would like to invite the general to talk about it in the car in person! Speak poetry with wine!"
