Chapter 17 Strong Guest Pressure
Who says that Qiangbin does not overwhelm the master?
In the hall, Li Ke, Qin Mubai and Mrs. Yang co-starred in a play. The two brothers of the Wu family obviously became spectators. Although the eldest brother is like a father, and they are now in charge of the affairs of the Wu family, it is obvious that Li Ke is not ready to give them any face.
I can't decide my own things. Although the Wu brothers are quite uncomfortable, they don't dare to show a little disgust, and even a little joy. Anyway, it is also a good thing for them to send a half-brother girl who doesn't like it and get married into a family like the Qin family.
Qin Mubai and Mrs. Yang signed and signed the marriage contract respectively. Li Ke shook the marriage contract and laughed: "Today is a good day, let's have a banquet to celebrate. Come on, let me, the matchmaker, be the host and entertain the people of your two families to come to our house to celebrate.
As soon as the words fell, the Wu brothers trembled as neatly as they had been electrocuted, and fell down excitedly: "Thank you for your grace!"
It's so abrupt.
Everyone was stunned, and the Wu brothers' faces suddenly turned red to the root of their necks.
This flattered slave's face is really a little humiliating.
"Haha, get up, no gift!" Li Ke waved his hand and smiled, "Mrs. Yang, I want to hear your opinion about the wedding date first. I will meet Duke Yi later, and Xiao Wang can also reply."
The Wu brothers stood up in dismay, stood aside awkwardly, and listened obediently.
Mrs. Yang said, "My husband's new funeral will last for a year. According to the Tang Dynasty etiquette, the bride is married for three years. There is still more than a year to calculate the time. At that time, the little girl will be in the sixteenth year of the year... I don't know what your Highness is?
"Well, I, the Tang Dynasty, ruled the country with filial piety and mourned for my father. Well, let's wait until the three-year funeral period expires before we get married. Presumably, the Duke of Yi will also agree. Li Ke patted his thigh and stood up and laughed, "Today's adult beauty is a good thing. I am very happy. When you come to my house later, you can have a good drink and get drunk.
"I will obey your order and thank you for your grace." Everyone thanked everyone together, and Mrs. Yang said, "Sage's son-in-law, there is a saying in the Book of Rites • Qu Li. The woman is allowed to marry, and now Zhao'er has been betrothed to you. Since you are your husband's family, you should marry her."
"Huh? Mrs. Yang is reasonable. Xiao Wang was negligent for a moment, but he forgot about it. Li Ke slapped, "Mu Bai, why don't you respond to your mother-in-law's life?"
"It's better to obey than to obey..." Qin Mubai thought for a little, and said with a slight smile in his heart, "Your mother-in-law is on the top. The little son-in-law looks at the charm of the second lady. How about the word 'mei'?"
"Wu Mei? Mei Niang? Good words, good words. Mrs. Yang immediately smiled happily and said, "There is a custom in the Wu family. From the generation of my husband's family, the children of the descendants all use words. From now on, the name of Zhao'er will be changed to - Mei Niang!"
"Wu Mei Niang, what a good name!" Li Ke laughed cheerfully and waved his hand, "Mu Bai, I will go back to my house to arrange the banquet first. Just stay here and have a good chat with your mother-in-law and brother-in-law. When the banquet is ready, I will send someone to call you again.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Li Ke went away.
Qin Mubai was speechless for a long time. Thinking left and right, today should be Li Ke's way and hit his trick. Although it was a gentle trap and a trap of kindness, Qin Mubai's understanding of Li Ke instantly deepened several layers.
This person is only about 20 years old, but he is so smart, calculating and does things well.
People who were born in the royal family and grew up in conspiracy and power plotting are really not ordinary as ordinary people.
"Sin-law, what are you thinking about?" Mrs. Yang whispered with a smile on her face. The Wu Yuanqing brothers also came forward and arched their hands to him together: "The wise brother-in-law came to the door for the first time. Brother Fool and others have lost the friendship of the landlord. Please forgive me."
Mrs. Yang inadvertently stepped back a few steps, lowered her head and stood aside humbly.
Qin Mubai took this small detail in his heart and remembered what Wu Zhao had said before that their mother and daughter were bullied by the two brothers.
It's time to come to your heart.
"Two brothers, I have a suggestion. I don't know whether to say it or not." Qin Mubai said.
"Let me know if you are a good brother-in-law." The Wu brothers bowed their hands and asked carefully.
Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Since I have made a marriage contract with Mei Niang, then our two families are also a family. More than a year after the wedding, Mei Niang will still live in the Duke of Ying during this period. Since she is already a member of my Qin family and the wife of my Qin Mubai, there is no reason for my mother's family to raise her again. It's reasonable for me to say so, isn't it?"
The Wu brothers were stunned and said, "What is the virtuous brother-in-law talking about? Isn't it too much?"
"Otherwise." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Although my younger brother is new to the official career, at least he has a salary and farmland. My younger brother means to give her three hectares and fifty mu of farmland to Mei Niang, which also allows her to make a living. To avoid spreading that I don't know the Qin family. The two brothers should not send their mother and daughter back to their hometown, and give the younger brother a face to let them live in the Duke of Ying for the time being. I don't know what you think?"
"Ah?!" The Wu brothers were neatly stunned and were stunned.
How did he know these things? Isn't it obvious that it is going to take our army? He deliberately said that he would give his land and "begged" us to take them in, and it didn't mean that Sang scolded Huai that we bullied their mother and daughter and forced us to divide the property with him, otherwise he would definitely not give up! At such a young age, his mind is so powerful that he is silent and insinuation. Qiang Bin is about to deal with us... Hateful, he is the third son of the Qin family, and Li Ke's support!
"The virtuous brother-in-law is too worried. Brother Yu has never thought of sending them back to their hometown!" Wu Yuanqing said in a hurry, "Not only that, Brother Fool is discussing with his second brother to give half of the land allocated by the court to his mother to raise the second sister and the third sister. They also share half of the property in the government. They are all a family, so we should get along well and share wealth, haha!"
"Real? It turned out that the eldest brother was so deeply righteous, but the younger brother was a villain. Qin Mubai bowed his hand and smiled naturally with an apologetic smile, "That is to say, today, my mother-in-law, Mei Niang and the third sister can live in the main room instead of living in the backyard?"
"That's natural, that's for sure!" Wu Yuanqing's forehead was sweating coldly, but his face nodded frequently with a smile.
Mrs. Yang took a deep breath and slowly spit it out. The crow's feet at the corners of her eyes wrinkled deeper. Although her expression was indifferent, there were many gratifying smiles in her eyes.
This son-in-law, good job!
Wu Yuanshuang lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Qin Mubai. He muttered in his heart: This boy surnamed Qin is powerful. He wants to capture him, so he hides a knife in his smile. The soft knife kills without blood... He thought he could get along better in Chang'an after climbing a big branch, but he didn't think it was the mother-in-law surnamed Yang and the two little ones. The wild seed will have support in the future, and our brother's good days in the martial arts family are over.
"In this way, I thanked my eldest brother-in-law." Qin Mubai bowed his hand and worshipped Wu Yuanqing, but it made him feel a burst of fright.
The meat hurts!
This visit is really not cheap, and half of the family property is lost in vain! Hateful!
But it's not cheap, and you have to go back.
Wu Yuanqing couldn't wait to swallow Qin Mubai in one bite. Although his face was blue, he had to try to squeeze out a smile and pretended to return gifts to Qin Mubai easily and generously.
Look at this kind family. When outsiders see it, they may have to clap their hands and praise it.
Mrs. Yang stood aside, and her old face was smiling and her heart was happy.
That's called relieving hatred, and it's very happy! This son-in-law is not simple. He is a wonderful man!
"Sageous son-in-law, it must take some time for the banquet. When I cook for you, I will cook a few court dishes for you to taste." Mrs. Yang came forward to take Qin Mubai's hand and asked him to sit in the right position.
Dongbed Jiaoke, when my father-in-law came, there was no reason to sit in the right position. This Mrs. Yang clearly intended to let Qin Mubai suppress the two brothers, Yuanqing and Yuan Shuang.
Qin Mubai didn't know her intentions, and she didn't refuse. She swaggered down and sat down.
The Wu brothers widened their eyes and watched Qin Mubai sitting in the position where Li Ke had just sat, swallowing saliva together, and their faces turned red and white.
"Send son-in-law, sit down for a while, and come as soon as you go for your mother." Mrs. Yang smiled at Qin Mubai's grateful heart and went away. She walked lightly, as if she was 20 years younger in an instant.
Mrs. Yang left, and the Wu brothers were not easy to be stunned. He had to force Qin Mubai to sit down with a smile, drink tea with him, and chat with him.
Qin Mubai smiled in his heart when he saw that the two brothers were aggrieved and dared not say anything.
It's just a pair of little brothers. What if they are angry? They can't turn over any big waves. In comparison, the Qin family is much more harmonious than this martial arts family.
Mrs. Yang went there for a long time before she came back with a few piles of snacks. Looking at her face full of spring breeze, she was really in a good mood. I'm afraid that since the death of the samurai Yu, she has never been as happy as she is today.
"The good son-in-law must eat more." When Mrs. Yang said this, she looked at Qin Mubai as if she were looking at her son.
As the saying goes, it is true that the mother-in-law loves her son-in-law, which is equivalent to loving her daughter. It is true.
For Mrs. Yang, this son-in-law is not only distressed, but also worthy of relying on. From now on, they will rely on him to support their orphans and widows.
At this moment, Mrs. Yang has a feeling of catching a life-saving straw in a desperate situation. Qin Mubai was like a flashing savior to her, appearing too timely.
After drinking tea and eating snacks, Qin Mubai and these people really had nothing to talk about, so they got up and said goodbye.
Mrs. Yang and the Wu brothers sent him out of the hall. Qin Mubai invited them and went out by themselves.
Today's event is really tortuous and dramatic. Originally, it was two apprentices who came to hunt for sex, but they didn't want to get married.
From now on, isn't there less Lori and more wife in the world?
Qin Mubai was thinking with a bad taste, and suddenly a coquettish rebuke came from his side: "Hey!"
You don't have to look back. There is no one who can make such a heart-catching voice like a magic bell, except the little evil Wu Mei Niang.
"What's the matter with calling me, Mei Niang?" Qin Mubai stood up and looked at her smile.
Wu Mei Niang put her hands on her full chest and leaned against a dry peach tree. She seemed to breathe a little angrily, so a pair of full and slight ups and downs. The deep squeezed ditch is enchanting.
"Who asked you to marry me?" Wu Mei Niang sprinkled her hands and took two quick steps to come over. The little mouth curled, and his eyes widened angrily at Qin Mubai.
A woman who doesn't wrap her feet looks good when she walks.
Qin Mubai turned his face innocently and turned away his hand: "Mei Niang, I'm also a victim. I'm forced!"
"What did you say? You, you, you! ..." Wu Mei Niang was immediately angry. She pointed to Qin Mubai and jumped angrily, "You bad guy, you still sell well if you get a bargain! Do you still feel very wronged if you dare to marry me?"
"Also, don't call me Mei Niang - my name is Zhao!"
Qin Mubai smiled. Interesting.
"Then jump, it's really ecstatic." His unpleasant eyes fell on Wu Mei Niang's full chest, hugged his elbows, and said with a joking smile, "From now on, you will be my woman. Whoever dares to bully me, tell me. I killed him as soon as possible.
"I will brag! Humph!" Wu Mei Niang curled her lips anly and turned her face away and said, "I don't follow the words of my parents. I don't want to marry you."
"You lie." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Your eyes tell me how happy you are now. Marry me, you are very satisfied with your peace of mind.
"You... are so cheeky!" Wu Mei Niang's face suddenly turned red, and she scolded angrily and funny, "I've never seen a brazen guy than you! Stop dreaming. I'm sure I won't marry you!"
"Is that right?" Qin Mubai smiled carelessly, cut his back with his hands for a few steps, and said leisurely, "But I'm afraid you can't help it!" In my Tang Dynasty, whether it was the law or customs, it was decided that you should not marry me. No one in the world can marry you again except me. You must have no doubt about this.
Wu Mei Niang's little face trembled slightly, and she pouted and turned her face.
Although the people of the Tang Dynasty are open, it is still a typical patriarchal society. Whether it is the law or secular morality, only the man is allowed to have the right to repent and divorce his wife. The woman absolutely can't regret the marriage contract or file for divorce. Otherwise, just like a woman who stole a man from the wall and was raped in bed, she will be scolded by the secular world and punished by law.
"However, that being said, I would like to hear why you don't want to marry me?" Qin Mubai turned around and asked.
It can be regarded as asking about Wu Mei Niang's heart.
"It's been a long time, and it's like a human word." Wu Mei Niang hummed twice and said, "Although you are from a rich family, you are the son of a commoner, and the official position is only seven grades. There must be more princes and nobles who want to marry me in the future. Why should I marry you?
"I'm confident, I like it." Qin Mubai smiled relaxedly, "Then tell me, what kind of person should marry you?"
