Chapter 680: Receiving Apprentice Wu Zetian (Two in One)
After separating from Kong Yingda, Morton was silent all the way and went straight to Mofu, but before he returned to Mofu, suddenly there was a commotion in front of him, and the carriage suddenly stopped.
"Young Master, the front is blocked!" Tie An said in a low voice.
Merton waved his hand and said, "Go and see what's going on?" β
Tie An immediately went to investigate, and soon came back to report: "Back to the young master, Ying Guogong has died!" His son drove out his wife and daughter! That's when the roads were blocked. β
In the Tang Dynasty, the general male owner dies, his son inherits the family business, and most of the concubines who have no heirs are kicked out of the house, but it is rare to drive away the wife of the continuation string, no wonder so many people watch.
"Ying Guogong!"
Merton couldn't help frowning, he had been in Chang'an City for many years, but he didn't have any impression of the Duke of Guo, and he couldn't remember who it was for a while?
Tie An reminded: "Lord Yingguo Gongwu has been an official abroad for many years, and he is rarely in the capital. β
"Ying Guogong, Samurai Tong!"
Merton was suddenly startled, and looked at the Gaomen compound in front of him incredulously.
Ying Guogong Wushi Tong is a very low-key person in the Tang Dynasty, he was born as a businessman, but he funded Li Yuan to raise troops, which is simply a copy of LΓΌ Buwei, after Li Yuan ascended the throne, he naturally did not forget Wushi Tong and was named Ying Guogong.
Wushi Tong was extremely low-key after Huang Tengda, and his reputation in Chang'an City was not obvious, but it was his daughter, Wu Zetian, the first female emperor in Chinese history, who really made him famous.
Merton lifted the curtain and saw a thin girl of about ten years old stubbornly confronting her two sons outside the Ying Guo Mansion.
"Wu Yuanqing, Wu Yuanshuang, my father just passed away, and you just kicked me out of the house, aren't you afraid of people's jokes?" The girl opened her arms to protect her mother and sister, who were crying in their arms.
"Mei Niang, who dares to take care of the affairs of my martial family, besides, your mother gave birth to three daughters in a row, and did not leave incense for my martial family, and the family business of this martial family naturally does not have your share." Wu Yuanshuang sneered.
"Mei Niang!"
Merton's eyes suddenly shrank, and he couldn't help but stare at the girl Wu Zetian in front of him, and the noble lady behind him was probably the Yang family, the wife of Wu Shitong.
The surrounding people were suddenly angry, but after all, the martial arts family was the Guogong Mansion, even if everyone didn't like it, I am afraid it would be helpless.
"What about giving birth to a daughter, Princess Pingyang doesn't let her eyebrows, the same leader fights!" Wu Meiniang's immature voice retorted forcefully.
"It's pretty sharp. Unfortunately, there is no precedent for a daughter to inherit the family business in the samurai family. Wu Yuanshuang smiled shamefully.
Wu Meiniang suddenly bit her silver teeth, and her face turned red and said: "Now that it is cold in winter, we are penniless when we leave Wufu, how can we live." β
Wu Yuanqing snorted coldly when he heard this: "What does your life and death have to do with me, if you want to die, you will die far away, so as not to make us feel upset." β
The martial brothers themselves are full of contradictions with the Yang family, there were samurai Tong pressed before, and the contradiction has not intensified, now the samurai Tong has passed away, the inferior nature of the two samurai brothers is completely exposed, and the samurai Tong is not cold, so he directly drove the Yang mother and daughter away, and completely occupied the family property of Yingguofu.
"Come on, drive all three of them away, if you dare to appear in the Martial Mansion again, be careful to ask you!" Wu Yuanqing said angrily.
Suddenly, several subordinates of the Martial Mansion surrounded him and said in a low voice: "Madam, Miss, don't let the little one be embarrassed. β
"Although my father has passed away, my mother is still the heroine of the Martial Mansion, but you dare to commit it!" Wu Meiniang's face was stiff, and she scolded sharply.
Guilt suddenly appeared on the faces of the subordinates, but when they saw Brother Wu Yuanqing's expressionless face, they couldn't help but feel a chord in their hearts, and stepped forward and said, "The little one is also acting on orders, and he is offended!" β
A group of subordinates pressed forward step by step, forcing Wu Meiniang to keep retreating.
"Humph! The little girl, who relied on her father's favor on weekdays, now lets you know that you are nothing after leaving the martial arts family! Wu Yuanshuang said hatefully.
"If it weren't for the imperial court's order that you should not be married under the age of fourteen, you would have been designated as a family member a long time ago, and maybe you could still receive some dowry?" Wu Yuanqing said coldly.
"You guys!"
Wu Meiniang was forced to retreat again and again, but she gritted her teeth and stubbornly glared at the Wu brothers and refused to be convinced.
"Since the martial arts family doesn't want you, why don't you join the Mo family?" Suddenly, a crisp voice came from the crowd, and it immediately reached everyone's ears.
"Who is it? Dare to meddle with the affairs of the Duke of the Kingdom! The martial brothers shouted suddenly, the two of them were usually used to being domineering, and when they heard that someone was helping the Yang family mother and daughter, they were immediately furious.
Seeing that the crowd was divided, Merton, under the escort of Tie'an, walked in.
"The Mo family, it's the Mo family!" Naturally, there were many people in the crowd who knew Merton, and they were shocked when they heard this.
"Mo Jiazi didn't just return from a hot air balloon, it is estimated that he was about to go home and just happened to meet him."
"The Mo family claims to have love, and they must not be used to seeing the martial arts brothers, so they came out to fight injustice."
"Why does Mojia Village want a girl to join the Mo family?"
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the crowd, the people immediately talked about it, looking like they were watching a good show.
Wu Meiniang, who had been forced into a corner, couldn't help but feel a move in her heart, who in Chang'an City could not know the name of the Mo family, even if she had just returned to Chang'an City, she was familiar with the Mo family, seeing the Mo family standing up for herself, her originally stubborn eyes couldn't help but moisten, but she hurriedly covered up the past.
"Mo Jiazi, what do you mean by this! This is a family matter of my martial family, and please don't get involved. Wu Yuanqing stepped forward and said vigilantly.
Wu Yuanqing is very similar to Merton at the moment, both of them are the titles inherited by their fathers, and even Wu Yuanqing's title is above Merton, but everyone knows that Merton is in full swing at this moment, and it is not comparable to the martial arts brothers of idle people.
Mo Dun shook his head and said: "The family affairs of the martial family, I am naturally not interested, Mo Mou today is just seeing the good talent and beautiful jade of the descendants of Ying Guogong, and he is just happy to hunt his heart, and on a whim, he wants to accept a disciple!" β
"Accept disciples!"
For a while, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, their eyes couldn't help but look back and forth between Modon and Wu Meiniang, even Wu Meiniang couldn't help but be stunned, she didn't expect that Morton wanted her to join the Mo family and accept her as an apprentice.
"Good talent and beautiful jade! Mo Hou don't laugh, it's just a little girl, she can't resist her shoulders and can't lift it, and she is incompetent to be a maid for others. Wu Yuanqing laughed and laughed, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
Merton lamented in his heart, of course the empress Wu Zetian was incompetent as a maid, if the martial brothers could be kind to Wu Zetian, they would not be exiled to death, and sneered at the moment: "There is Bole and then there are Maxima, Thousandmar often has, and Bole is not often, the Martial Maxima is here, but you have no eyes, it is sad and lamentable." β
"Samurai Maxima!" The martial brothers' faces were gloomy, and Merton used his own "Horse Talk" as a metaphor, so wouldn't they be slaves who humiliated Maxima and didn't know Taishan
Merton walked straight up to Wu Meiniang and asked urgently: "Your name is Wu Meiniang!" Ying Guogong's second daughter! β
"Yes!" Wu Meiniang nodded.
Merton suddenly felt happy in his heart, sure enough, it was her, and Annai was excited at the moment, and said solemnly: "I don't know if you are willing to worship me as a teacher and join the Mo family!" β
The onlookers suddenly gasped, Mo Jiazi's talent is recognized, Mo Dun has always been young and people have no idea of apprenticeship, if someone knows that Mojia Village wants to accept apprentices, I am afraid that the people in line from the Suzaku Gate to the South City Gate will not be enough! , but who would have thought that Merton would fall in love with a girl and want to take her as an apprentice.
The martial brother's face suddenly darkened, he didn't expect that the Mo family really wanted to accept Wu Meiniang as an apprentice.
The Yang family, who was crying, suddenly turned happy, she has now lost her position and been driven out of the price, if she climbs to the Mo family, then their mother and mother will have a fall, and it may not be impossible to return to the martial family.
However, Wu Meiniang ignored Yang's crazy hints, and instead looked up at Merton and asked, "Why do I want to worship you as a teacher, and what are the benefits of joining the Mo family." β
Merton laughed and said: "Worship me as a teacher, you are the senior sister of the next generation of the Mo family, no one dares to bully you anymore, if you really have the talent of Maxima, it is not impossible to be in charge of the Mo family in the future, there is no saying that a woman in my Mo family cannot be in charge." β
"In charge of the Mo family?"
Wu Meiniang's eyes lit up suddenly, and then she respectfully kowtowed to Mo Dun and said, "The master is above, please accept the apprentice!" β
"Good!"
Merton was overjoyed when he saw this.
Because of him, Zheng Chonghua, who should not have entered the palace, was allowed to enter the palace, and after a drink and a peck, he met the young Wu Zetian again and took him under the door, and there was one less martial artist in the palace.
In this way, Li Shimin got his wish, and the Mo family had an additional successor.
Yang's face suddenly turned happy, this is the promise of the Mo family in public, Wu Meiniang is apprenticed in public, naturally it is impossible to have the slightest remorse, and his daughter, as the first disciple of the Mo family, her status is self-evident.
The martial brothers suddenly felt a burst of regret in their hearts, they never thought that Wu Meiniang would turn over and worship under the door of the Mo family.
"Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, Mei Niang, you can go to the Mo family to learn art with peace of mind, and your mother and sister will be relieved to put them in the martial arts!" Wu Yuanqing said respectfully.
"Big brother! You ......" Wu Yuanshuang said hurriedly, they finally brought the Yang family out of the house, why did they suddenly welcome the Yang family back.
Wu Yuanqing said in a low voice: "You idiot, as long as Mei Niang becomes the eldest disciple of the Mo family, and a little bit of ink skills is revealed, it is enough for my martial arts family to eat and drink, compared with these benefits, what is a CCTV?" β
Even if he doesn't have ink skills, with this relationship with Mojia Village, his martial arts family will definitely rise, the martial arts family is originally a businessman, with a deep-rooted psychology of profit-seeking, with the inherent narrow-mindedness of a businessman, when the father's bones are not cold, the Yang mother and daughter who have no interests will be driven away, and at the same time, once they see the interests of the Yang mother and daughter, they will immediately greet each other with a smile.
Wu Yuanshuang suddenly realized at this time, and echoed in a loud voice.
Yang Shi was suddenly pleasantly surprised, as a woman, she was kicked out of the house, her reputation can be said to be extremely bad, if she can return to the martial family, she can naturally save face.
When the martial brothers saw Yang's expression, they couldn't help but feel happy in their hearts, but before he could be happy, they saw a young body blocking Yang's face.
"We won't go back to the martial arts family, but the family property and other mothers and daughters must also get their due share." Wu Meiniang once again reiterated her claim.
"You ......" Wu Yuanshuang was furious when he heard this, and was about to scold, but when he saw Mo Dun on the side, he wisely closed his mouth, Wu Meiniang became a disciple of the Mo family, and it was no longer something he could scold at will.
"Master, I don't know if as a disciple of the Mo family can use the ink magazine, the apprentice wants to publish his experience in the ink magazine." Wu Meiniang arched her hand towards Merton.
"It is worthy of the famous Wu Zetian in later generations, and it is fatal as soon as he makes a move!" Merton said secretly in his heart.
Of course, the disciples he had just received naturally had to be maintained with all his might, and Mo Dun said without hesitation at the moment. "Of course you can, the Mo family's resources are at your disposal."
The martial brothers suddenly panicked, they are naturally familiar with the ink magazine, once Wu Meiniang publishes the experience of their mother and daughter being kicked out of the ink magazine, I am afraid that the world will immediately know about it, and at that time, when his father's bones are not cold, he will drive his stepmother and sister out of the house, and it will immediately become a scandal in the world.
When the time comes, not to mention keeping their family business, even whether they can keep their title is two different things.
"Mei Niang! The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, what good is it for you to do this to yourself? Wu Yuanqing said with a gloomy face.
Mo Dun shook his head and said: "Wu Meiniang worshiped the Mo family and called me a disciple, I'm afraid it won't be long before it spreads throughout Chang'an City, even if Wu Meiniang doesn't say it, how long can you hide it?" β
When Wu Meiniang worships under the Mo family, she is destined to be exposed to the eyes of the world, and at that time, all of Wu Meiniang's past will be picked up one by one, and the matter of being kicked out of the house will be destined to be hidden.
Wu Yuanqing smiled dryly: "Don't say it, I forgot, when my father was alive, in order to buy a dowry, I sent someone to send it for my brother." β
Wu Meiniang shook her head and said, "In addition to my dowry, there is also my little sister's dowry, and my mother must have all the money she deserves." β
The martial brothers glanced at each other, and suddenly said with a painful face: "A word is a certainty, but this matter cannot be mentioned." β
"A word is a certainty, rest assured! I will never step into this martial door again. Wu Meiniang said resolutely.
The martial brothers suddenly looked bitter, this time they moved a stone and smashed their own feet, not only did they have to make a big deal of blood, but the line that could have been set up with Mojia Village was completely broken.
Merton looked at the martial arts brothers with a look of remorse, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, and said in his heart, I can be regarded as saving your brother, compared to the ending of your previous life, at least you have no worries about your life in this life. β
With Merton by his side, the martial brothers did not play tricks this time, and soon, a cart full of property was placed in front of the Yang mother and daughter.
"Thank you, Mohou!" Yang said gratefully.
With these belongings, their mother and daughter will never live a hard life of turbulence and displacement again, and the treatment is much better than the previous treatment of being kicked out of the house.
"Since Mei Niang worshiped under the door of the Mo family, Mo naturally tried her best to help, Mrs. Wu just took care of herself, if you don't dislike it, you can go to the foot of the Mo family village, everything has its own Mojia Village arrangements, and Mei Niang will go back in the future, so she can take care of it." Merton's positive color channel.
"Then there is Lao Mojia Village, Mei Niang will ask Mo Hou to teach him wholeheartedly." The Yang family is not modest, she is a weak woman, and it is not easy for a lonely mother and widow to live in Chang'an City, and with the identity of Wu Meiniang, a big disciple in Mojia Village, everything is naturally much better. Moreover, Mojia Village is the first village in the world, and its reputation is not much worse than Chang'an City.
"Mrs. Wu rest assured!" Merton said solemnly, and then arranged for the children of the Mo family to send the Yang family mother and daughter to Mojia Village.
Watching Yang's carriage leave, Merton turned around and greeted Wu Meiniang and said, "Let's go!" Let's go back to Mofu! β
Wu Meiniang looked at the familiar and unfamiliar Yingguo Mansion in front of her, nodded, and followed Merton away without hesitation, leaving only the dejected Wu brothers.
Not long after Mo Dun left, the news of Mo Jiazi's acceptance of apprentices quickly spread throughout Chang'an City.
