When Governor Lai heard what Song Mu said, he immediately frowned. He polished the tea bowl in his hand and said again after a moment.
"But this must not be such a thing, right?"
"Song Jieyuan is now eighteen years old. If my family can succeed, wouldn't it be a blessing?"
Governor Lai obviously didn't give up yet. Perhaps he admired Song Mu very much and didn't want to miss this opportunity.
When Song Mu heard these words, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat. The meaning of a Hanlin talking to him like this was very clear. Although it was not forced, in the eyes of ordinary people, if he did not agree, it was because he did not know what was good and what was good. .
A storm swept through Song Mu's mind crazily. At this moment, he gritted his teeth and thought carefully, but finally had to bite the bullet.
"I'm sorry that it's difficult for me to obey my order."
After saying this sentence, Song Mu saw a moment of dissatisfaction on Governor Lai's face, but it was soon replaced by a calm expression. Song Mu had already respectfully handed over his hand.
Song Mu is not the kind of person who agrees casually, and besides, it is a major event in his life. Even though the Song family has a humble background, Song Mu already has a choice in his heart.
There was another moment of silence.
After the silence, the governor Lai let out a long sigh. ,
"Well, it seems that we have no chance to be a family."
As Governor Lai said this, he stood up and spoke to Song Mu in a deep voice.
"Song Jieyuan is invited here this time, but it is because of the love between children. It is really a bit offensive. This thing should be regarded as my apology."
As he said this, the other party reached out and waved, and the paper scroll on the table with "Looking at the Sea Tide" immediately rose into the air, rolled up into a roll in the air, and flew towards Song Mu.
Song Mu immediately took it with both hands, but this time he also raised his head, with a sense of satisfaction on his face. However, the governor Lai's interest was already waning, and he immediately handed the guest away.
Lai Wan'er was still a little reluctant to give up, so she walked forward to look at Song Mu and whispered a few words to Song Mu.
Song Mu responded simply. Seeing Governor Lai drinking tea expressionlessly, he quickly handed over his hand and hurried out.
Stepping out of the door of the study, the boy came up to guide the way. Song Mu's brows were furrowed at this moment. The governor Lai was so enthusiastic just now, but now he immediately changed his attitude. After all, he had such a temperament. Man, I really pissed him off just now.
With this somewhat uneasy feeling, Song Mu was led out by the servant, but before he could completely walk out of the Lai residence, several figures suddenly appeared in front of him. They were the same figures that Song Mu saw when he came in just now. Several people in the cloister.
Among them, He Shengtu had already stepped forward with a smile on his face and held his hand towards Song Mu.
"Congratulations, Song Jieyuan."
He Shengtu said happily, contrary to his very hostile attitude toward Song Mu in the past few days, and the few young masters next to him also raised their hands to Song Mu with smiles on their faces and congratulations in their mouths. Song Mu.
And one of the well-dressed young masters stepped forward, saluted Song Mu respectfully, and spoke immediately.
"Song Jieyuan, I am Lai Guozhong, and Wan'er is my sister. From now on, we will be a family."
When Song Mu heard this, he immediately understood what these people meant, but he felt embarrassed at the moment, so he quickly handed over his hands, and then spoke.
"You have misunderstood, things are not what you think."
These words immediately made several people look at each other, and they looked at each other for a while. He Shengtu also looked at Song Mu with a bit of confusion and asked quickly.
"Isn't Jieyuan married to the crown jewel of the governor?"
Lai Guozhong next to him nodded in confusion at this moment, but Song Mu looked embarrassed. He handed over his hand again and said in a deep voice.
"But I disappoint you all. The governor did not have such intention, and I will not consider such things now."
Everyone who heard this was suddenly stunned, and Lai Guozhong took another step forward and said with confusion.
"Why did Song Jieyuan say this? Could it be that his father didn't allow it?"
Song Mu, however, handed over his hand and said guiltily.
"I am not worthy of it. I have really failed to live up to the expectations of the governor."
Song Mu said this, naturally to protect the face of the governor. After all, if others knew, when a governor recruited a son-in-law and a Jie Yuan, he was rejected by Jie Yuan.
If you tell such things, others will laugh at you.
Sure enough, after hearing this, several people's faces were surprised, and Lai Guozhong was even more puzzled. ,
"It's impossible. My father has a very good impression of Jie Yuan. When he learned that Jie Yuan was in Jinling, he specifically said that he would invite him to a banquet during the Shangyuan Festival."
Song Mu just held his hand, while He Shengtu next to him looked a little dazed at the moment. He even couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, and his eyes were a little divergent.
Suddenly he took a step forward and spoke to Song Mu again.
"Jie Yuan must be joking with us. There is no reason for Jie Yuan to refuse such a thing."
Song Mu looked at the other party, looked at He Shengtu slightly, and asked in a deep voice.
"Why are you so anxious? Could it be that you also admire my lord's daughter?"
Everyone also turned their gazes, and Lai Guozhong also looked at He Shengtu, frowning slightly.
He Shengtu paused, waved his hands and said.
"I don't dare to have such thoughts. I really appreciate Jieyuan's talents and think these two men are talented men and beautiful women, so this incident is a bit unexpected for me."
He Shengtu said this with a somewhat guilty expression on his face.
The decision to ask Song Mu to recruit a son-in-law was made by the He family after they left the Gu family that day.
A Jie Yuan has long been a favorite in the eyes of countless high-ranking officials. Every Jie Yuan in various places would not immediately cling to the powerful, and their success in the future is already in front of their eyes.
But Song Mu was the exception.
It stands to reason that Song Mu was in his prime, and he was so tall and handsome. It was really hard to find a good son-in-law.
It was just that Song Mu was already a benefactor to countless families in Yuzhang City, so he really didn't dare to do anything randomly. Although Shiyang County and Jizhou Prefecture had their own intentions, they didn't dare to ask too much.
As for the Lin'an City behind, Song Mu left as soon as he came and really didn't give these people a chance to make a move. Only when he arrived at Jinling did he gradually attract the attention of many people.
Especially in the past few days, Song Mu's lectures at the government school caused a stir in the entire Jinling City, and every family couldn't help it. The He family knew that the time was ripe, and immediately sent He Shengtu to visit the governor. The young master took the opportunity to push forward.
Although He Shengtu and the governor's son were just acquaintances, they mentioned this matter intentionally or unintentionally, which immediately attracted the other's attention.
Sure enough, the governor soon found out about this and made a special visit to Song Mu.
He Shengtu thought that if things went like this, Song Mu would definitely nod. After all, he had no reason not to accept the offer from a governor of Jiangnan East Road.
And now, no matter what happened to the young lady from the Gu family, the Gu family would definitely not want her to be Song Mu's concubine.
When everything falls into place, I can go to propose marriage again.
He Shengtu felt that this plan was really wonderful and a complete conspiracy.
I had just been chatting with a few young masters, talking about the same situation, and even congratulated them. However, I didn't expect that at this time, I learned from Song Mu that all this had not happened.
He Shengtu was a little flustered for a while, and even looked at Song Mu with a bit of anger.
I gave him such an opportunity to rise to prominence, how could he not cherish it?
Song Mu, however, had already recovered from the whole incident. He just looked at He Shengtu, then raised his hands and said.
"I appreciate your kindness, but some things cannot be obtained this way."
After Song Mu finished speaking, He Shengtu's face turned pale. The meaning of this could not be clearer.
The people next to him all looked over at this moment. Song Mu immediately raised his hands and walked away, leaving a few people in shock.
The governor's son's low voice asked behind him, and He Shengtu might be feeling a little uncomfortable at this moment.
When Song Mu walked to the street and looked at the paper in his hand, he sighed slightly.
But I don't know if this move will bring anything bad to the Gu family.
But it seems that some things cannot be delayed.
