The next day, Mu Sheng took Yun'er to Zhao Chu's residence of Jiuqing Shaofu to discuss how to let Yun'er formally pass through. When he arrived at the door of Zhao's residence, he helped Yun'er get out of the carriage and went in with a gift.
This was Mu Sheng's first visit to Zhao Cu in several years. He couldn't help it. It was taboo for clan members to interact with important officials in the imperial court. Today was different from the past, so it was necessary to do so.
When Mu Sheng and Yun'er arrived at Zhao's house, a rather strong young man walked towards him. When he saw Yun'er, he cheered and said, "Sister Yun, you are here."
Yun'er also went up to say hello to him! Seeing the unfamiliar face of Mu Sheng, the young man said, "Sister Yun, this must be Lord Changping?"
Yun'er asked curiously, "How do you know he is Lord Changping?"
The young man said, "My father specially sent me here to greet Lord Changping."
Yun'er turned to Mu Sheng and introduced, "Sir, this is the godfather's youngest son, Zhao Chan."
Mu Shengxin said, Zhao Chan? So he's his cousin?
Mu Sheng looked at the young man in front of him who was about the same age as himself and smiled and said, "Hello, cousin, I'm here to visit my uncle today. Please let me know."
Zhao Chan quickly stepped forward to greet him and said, "Zhao Chan has met Lord Changping."
Mu Sheng nodded repeatedly and praised, "My cousin is a talented person and will definitely be the pillar of the country in the future..."
Zhao Chan quickly embarrassed himself and said, "Father already knows that Lord Changping is here. Your Majesty, please come with me."
Mu Sheng nodded and Yun'er followed Zhao Chan to the inner court and the inner hall. They saw Zhao Chu and his aunt Zou in the room.
Mu Sheng hurriedly stepped forward to greet me and said, "Uncle, aunt, and nephew are here to visit us."
Zhao Cu nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Changping, please take a seat."
At this time, Aunt Zou said with a kind face, "Sheng'er is here. She hasn't been here for many years. Auntie will prepare meals for you right now."
Mu Sheng bowed to Zou and said, "Aunt, I'm sorry, my nephew has only come to visit you two elders for so many years until today."
Zou quickly waved her hand and said, "You are so polite, Mr. Changping. Although I am a woman, I know that although we are a family, we are different from ordinary families. The king and his ministers are different and have their own difficulties. I understand."
Mu Sheng bowed to his aunt again, and her aunt withdrew knowingly when she saw that several people had something to talk about.
Mu Sheng was very grateful to his aunt for her understanding of righteousness. Although he had been born in two generations, he also longed for the whole family to get together in the dead of night and lively. However, being born in this imperial family made it clear that there could be no normal life. Human relations and family ties.
Mu Sheng pulled Yun'er forward and bowed to Zhao Chu, then straight to the point he said, "Uncle, Yun'er wrote a letter to you before coming here. Is it okay to tell you what happened between us?"
Yun'er also stepped forward to greet him and said, "My godfather, can you please help me get married to Mr. Changping?"
Zhao Chu took a long breath and said helplessly, "To be honest, I don't approve of Yun'er being with you. Yun'er is the daughter of my good friend. Although she is not my biological child, I always regard Yun'er as my own child." , Yun'er can only be a concubine with you, which is really wronging Yun'er. With my Zhao family's family background, Yun'er has to be the eldest wife of an official... Hey! Now... How can I afford to die? Old friend, hey!"
When Yun'er heard that Zhao Cu mentioned her father, she burst into tears. She kowtowed to Zhao Cu and said, "Godfather, Yun'er is unfilial and unworthy of her father's spirit in heaven. However, Lord Changping and I support each other in the palace, and we will grow stronger over time." Love in Yun'er's heart can no longer tolerate other men. Even if she becomes a concubine in Lord Changping's house, Yun'er is willing to do so. Please ask your godfather to make Yun'er happy!"
Mu Sheng saw Yun'er's face bursting with tears and was deeply moved when he heard her heartfelt words. He stepped forward and bowed to Zhao Chu and said, "Uncle, my nephew has indeed been in love with Yun'er for a long time. Please don't worry, uncle, I will be wholeheartedly devoted to you." Be good to Yun'er, and in my mind, Yun'er will always be my eldest wife."
Zhao Chu quickly helped Mu Sheng up and said, "You don't have to be polite, Mr. Changping. Let me think about it."
After a while, Zhao Chu turned to Yun'er and said, "Yun'er, you go and talk to your godmother first. I have some private matters to discuss with Mr. Changping."
Yun'er gave Mu Sheng a stern look. Mu Sheng nodded to her, and Yun'er had no choice but to stand up and leave.
Mu Sheng asked, "My uncle, does he have anything to tell his nephew?"
Zhao Chu had a puzzled look on his face, "Hey! Mr. Chang Ping, I'm telling you the truth. It's not that I don't agree with your marriage to Yun'er. The old man who loves women here also understands that he doesn't have to do the evil thing of beating mandarin ducks, but Huo Xiang The Second Young Master Huo from my house has asked people to come to my house many times for matchmaking. During the Cold Food Festival, the Second Young Master Huo fell in love with Yun'er at first sight. You should also know this."
"The second son of the Huo family has sworn that he will not marry Yun'er if he is wrong, and even asked Huo Xiangguo to come to the door in person to talk to the matchmaker. You are also listening to the affairs of the Xuanzheng Yuan, and you also know that Huo Xiang is now very trusted by His Majesty, and is the first minister of the Xuanzheng Yuan. I really can't afford to offend me, so I have no choice but to agree to Huo Xiang's marriage request. The Huo family will beat gongs and drums tomorrow to deliver the betrothal gift to my house. Today, I am actually waiting for Yun'er to return to the house and choose a good and auspicious day to marry her. Huo Mansion, now you suddenly act like this, it’s really difficult for me!”
After listening to Zhao Chu's words, Mu Sheng's blood boiled and he stood up immediately, pacing back and forth in the room with confusion.
Mu Sheng stepped forward and held Zhao Chu's hand tightly, and said in a pleading tone, "Uncle! My good uncle, what should I do? How can you agree to that old man Huo Zheng? Think about it quickly. The solution is that Yun'er and I have the same heart, she has become my woman, and I will never allow her to marry someone else."
Seeing that Zhao Chu was unmoved, Mu Sheng glared at Zhao Chu with red eyes and said fiercely, "For Yun'er, I will definitely kill someone. No matter who he is, I am a cultivator. At worst, I will give up my current wealth." I also want to take Yun'er far away, uncle..."
The last uncle almost roared out. Zhao Chu was obviously a little frightened by Mu Sheng's performance, and he didn't expect that he would be so interested in Zeng Yun.
Zhao Chu obviously still wanted to try his best to persuade Mr. Changping, and said, "You... Hey Mr. Changping, please calm down. As the saying goes, there is no grass anywhere in the world, why should you..."
Zhao Chu was interrupted before he could finish his words to persuade Mu Sheng.
Mu Sheng calmed down, and with a thought in his heart, he said in a cold voice, "I know, uncle, you are doing it for my own good. Huo Xiangguo, forget about uncle, even I can't afford to offend him. I have thought about it, and I will go to Tai Chi today." I want to see my father for the last time. I will take Yun'er away tonight, and Yun'er will definitely accompany me."
"My child is unfilial. From now on, I will not be able to fulfill my filial piety to you. Uncle, you will treat me as if I have never been here today. This will cause you to be implicated. My nephew is very sorry, but I will never watch my woman marry. I absolutely cannot accept the indifference of other men... Then I have no choice but to feel sorry for you, uncle."
After saying that, Mu Sheng kowtowed heavily to Zhao Chu, then turned around and left to look for Yun'er in the back hall.
Zhao Chu was also shocked and dumbfounded. He didn't expect this stupid young man to be so stubborn and reckless. He quickly stood up and grabbed his sleeves and said, "Chang Pingjun, please be patient. Please allow me to think of a solution. How much grace can you give me?" Japan, there must be room for maneuver in things, there is no need to be so decisive..."
Mu Sheng turned back and stared at Zhao Chu like a cheetah and said, "Uncle, you are not going to delay me first, and then secretly meet with the father to ask for his orders. By then, I will be unable to fly, right?"
Zhao Chu was immediately shocked by Mu Sheng, as if he were meeting his nephew whom he had grown up with for the first time.
After coming back to his senses, Zhao Chu sighed repeatedly, "You...you..."
Mu Sheng's eyes were firm and he said, "What's wrong? My uncle is being talked about by me?"
Zhao Chu pointed at Mu Sheng tremblingly, and said in anger, "You kid, who do you look like? You are just a stubborn donkey... Forget it, I will try my best to offend Huo Xiang and help you, Mr. Changping, to control this door." The Huo family's marriage was called off, hey! You! You! I don't know what to say to you. You abandoned your country and your family for a woman. It's simply lawless..."
When Mu Sheng heard this, Zhao Chu's tone seemed to be relieved, and he quickly stepped forward to prostrate himself in front of Zhao Chu and said, "Thank you, uncle, for helping me and Yun'er. No matter what you say in the future, uncle, I will listen to you. If Huo Xiangguo dares to embarrass you, You, Sheng'er must stand with you. I don't dare to do it openly, but I still have ways to do it secretly. Is he the only popular person in front of my father? Me too. Since I want to offend Huo Xiang, then I and your uncle will If we offend him together, I will never let my uncle take the responsibility alone..."
Hearing this, Zhao Chu felt comforted in his heart. He quickly stepped forward to help Mu Sheng up and said, "Hey! My dear nephew, it is better for my uncle to do this evil thing. You have no foundation in the court. There is no need to fight against Huo. You Don't worry and go home with Yun'er. The relationship between Huo Xiang and me is pretty good. I will help you to the end of this marriage even if I fight against Huo Xiang in the future..."
Mu Sheng's face was full of emotion and he said, "Uncle..."
After Mu Sheng and Zhao Chu chatted for a long time in the lobby, Yun'er also came out of the back hall with a happy face. She didn't know what they talked about with her aunt.
Seeing Yun'er coming to the lobby, Zhao Chu called Yun'er over and said, "Yun'er, I agree to your marriage."
Yun'er suddenly beamed with joy, and she was so attentive to Zhao Chu. Mu Sheng smiled bitterly in his heart. She didn't see the situation just now, and almost abducted her and turned her into a bandit.
Mu Sheng really thought this just now, but he realized later that the old uncle Zhao Chu might be forcing him to express his position. He wanted to test Yun'er's status in the eyes of his Lord Chang Ping to judge whether he was related to the Huo family. Whether it is more cost-effective to marry or to marry Lord Changping, Mu Sheng simply plays it out to the end. Of course, there is also a side of him that reveals his true feelings. He really can't let go of Yun'er.
After leaving the Zhao Mansion, Mu Sheng naturally felt deeply guilty for Zhao Chu breaking off the engagement and not giving face to the Huo family. He would definitely have to support him when discussing politics in the Tai Chi Palace in the future.
Zhao Chu saw Chang Pingjun and his party standing at the door thoughtfully after they left.
At this time, Ms. Zou walked up to Zhao Chu and said, "Husband, do you have to torment Yun'er like this? Yun'er is your friend's widow and your goddaughter. Since Sheng'er cares so much about Yun'er, why don't you do it?" Wouldn’t it be great if they just go along with the flow of favor?”
Zhao Chu glanced sideways at Mr. Zou and said, "What do you know? I tried my best to offend Huo Xiangcheng, Quan Yun'er and Chang Pingjun. This favor is big enough. Only when this favor is big enough can I be so good." When my nephew ascends to the throne in the future, he will be grateful to me as a good uncle, and he can also ensure peace for my Zhao family for several generations, do you understand?"
When Mrs. Zou heard this, she was so shocked that she trembled and said, "Husband, what kind of high position is it? Do you want to promote Sheng'er to the position? But the prince is still here, is this rebellion? Are you willing to die?"
Zhao Chu smiled slightly and said, "You have actually understood my thoughts for a long time, but you didn't dare to say it out. So what if the prince is here? You don't have to be there! If anyone blocks Sheng'er's way to heaven, it's me, Zhao Chu." Someone’s enemy, today’s words are known to heaven and earth, to you and to me, and you must know the pros and cons.”
Zou nodded with a pale face and said, "Husband, I know the pros and cons."
At this time, Mrs. Zou said to Zhao Chu again in a begging tone, "Husband, for the sake of my two children, can you stop? Don't you always like Chan'er? Are you willing to watch him die with us? Landing?"
Zhao Chu comforted Zou and said, "Madam, don't worry, I have already arranged a way out for Chan'er. If I can't succeed, Chan'er will definitely be safe."
Zhao Chu smiled and said to Zou in a relaxed tone, "Do you think Yun'er is destined to be a queen?"
Zou thought for a while and shook his head blankly...
