Chapter 396: Mind
The aroma of the fritters went straight to the nose, if it was usual, Zhang Qing would have grabbed a big chew unceremoniously, but now he was in no mood, sat down at the table, and said dejectedly: "What if my father settles down the family affairs?" As he spoke, he couldn't help but say hatefully: "That Donglu clan is too hateful, and it has delayed a lot of time in vain." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
If he is unwilling to marry, he does not directly refuse, and he has to mention the condition that he is willing to marry, which makes his father want him to be a marquis.
It's good that he didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, Cheng Mo was somewhat ashamed, as a condition to persuade the old man to retire, the old man did not retreat, and this matter was over.
"Twelve Lang, it is all up to you to manage the craftsmen, the palace can quickly install the pipeline, you have a great merit, I will go to the General's Mansion now and ask for credit for you." Cheng Mo said, putting down the half-eaten fritters.
No matter how bad the girl from the Donglu family is, she will not be worse than Su Miaohua. Cheng Mo wanted to persuade Huo Guang to allow Zhang Qing to be the marquis, even if he couldn't be the marquis, he could be a low-level marquis. Zhang Qing's matter of sealing the marquis, Liu Xun agreed early in the morning, and only Huo Guang would obstruct it, so Cheng Mo wanted to fight for it.
"Fifth brother, it's just to manage five or six hundred craftsmen, what kind of credit is it?" Zhang Qing smiled bitterly and said: "I follow you, it is a matter of time before the marquis is sealed, the girl of his Donglu family is snobbish, and if he doesn't marry, how can he cause the fifth brother to be disliked by the general for this kind of snobbish girl?" ”
Huo Guang has always had a bottom line in appointing officials, let alone such a major event as a feudal marquis? Cheng Mo just wanted to try his best, but he was not sure that he would be able to convince Huo Guang, so he frowned and did not insist.
"If my uncle must ask for you to marry Miss Su, I will definitely persuade you." Cheng Mo said firmly. If you can't be convinced, you will threaten with non-alignment, although it is boring to do that, but for Zhang Qing's lifelong happiness, Cheng Mo thinks it is worth it.
Zhang Qing wants this sentence, and only Cheng Mo can convince his father. He said movingly: "Fifth Brother Xie." ”
Cheng Mo finished breakfast, it was almost noon. The weather is sunny, and it is a good weather to go out to visit relatives and friends. At the same time, An Guogong and Su Zhi talked more and more about the deed, and Su Zhi ignored the ancient practice of not eating at noon and held a banquet to entertain An Guogong.
An Guogong returned home drunk and smoky. Being able to be in-laws with Su Zhi, he was so happy in his heart that he asked when he entered the door: "What about Twelve Lang?" ”
He got up early in the morning and was thinking about the meeting with Su Zhi, how could he have time to care about Zhang Qing? Now that the family affair has been completed, it is natural to talk to Zhang Qing. He had already made up his mind, as long as Su Miaohua's eight characters would not kill his son, he would settle this family business.
The little servant replied: "Twelve Langjun went out early in the morning and hasn't come back yet. ”
"I don't have a home all day." An Guogong muttered, and the housekeeper helped him back to his room to sleep.
Zhang Qing didn't want to go back to his house, so he sent someone to call Wukong, Zhu Sange, He Yu, Qi Kang and other brothers to come over to drink, gamble, and play cards. I wish that there are guests in the third brother's house, and after receiving the message, he hurriedly served tea to send off the guests, Pegasus came, and shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Have you all arrived?" ”
It's been a long time since the brothers have drank/gambled/played cards together, and I miss such days so much.
As soon as the table opened, the brothers, who had been busy for several months, finally sat together, gambled in the dark. Cheng Mo was a villager, killing all sides, and killing Zhang Qing, Zhu Sange and others into a wail.
"Good luck for the guard." Zhu Sange shook the dice and said, "If I lose this one again, I will have to be a pants." ”
One sentence caused the brothers to laugh, and Qi Kang smiled: "Tell your little guy to go home and get the silver ticket, or you will have to go home bare-assed." ”
He Yu smiled: "That's not necessary, if you really lose your pants, borrow her skirt to cover it, and go back to the house first to change your pants and come back to fight again." ”
He said and pointed to the maid who was pouring tea and water in the corner of the house, the maid was slender, and when she saw He Yu making fun of her, she also pursed her lips and laughed.
Zhu Third Brother was not angry, and said, "Could it be that the dignified Yongchang Marquis Mansion doesn't have a pair of extra pants?" You're underestimating the Captain too much. ”
Cheng Mo also smiled when he said this, and said: "If you really lose like pants, why am I embarrassed not to borrow it?" It's hard to say about the new pants, but the old pants are. ”
He has been mixed for two lives, how can he not see that the brothers are deliberately losing money at the gambling/table? Especially Zhu Sange, who brought a lot of silver tickets and lost desperately. It's just that I didn't say it.
The brothers all laughed and said, "That's it, there is more or less one pair of old pants, don't worry." ”
In the laughter, the third brother asked the little guy to go back to the house to get the silver ticket, and said, "I have to have fun today." ”
I don't know how long I gambled, the light in the house gradually dimmed, and the maidservant girl just now lit the lamp. Cheng Mo just took the deck of cards, and the elm tree came in quietly and whispered in his ear: "I have inquired clearly, there are five little ladies in the Pingyang Hou family, two are out, three are out, and the remaining four are married, only the youngest concubine is left, ranking tenth." Cai Shixiao is fourteen years old this year and has not yet been married. ”
After the elm tree finished reporting, he quietly retreated, Cheng Mo finished playing the game, and said with a smile: "I've been holding it for a day, I'm about to suffocate, I'll go to the toilet." ”
As he spoke, he threw a look at Zhang Qing.
Zhang Qing had something on his mind, playing cards listlessly, and received the signal that Cheng Mo asked him to go out together, so he also stood up and said, "I have to go too." ”
Third Brother Zhu smiled: "Wei Wei, the brothers are going to bother tonight." ”
It's going to be a bet.
He Yu smiled: "Aren't you afraid of losing all your private treasury?" It won't be a matter of running out of pants then. ”
Everyone tacitly agrees, only the third brother is the hardest, he has recently been promoted, and it is also appropriate to vote for peaches and plums, but with him in front of Zhuyu, they are not enough to see. The two thousand taels of silver brought by He Yu have almost lost, and if he continues to gamble, he will have to learn from the third brother and let the little guy go back to the house to get the silver ticket.
Cheng Mo had a lot of silver tickets in front of him, and he was afraid that it would be more than 10,000 silver, so he smiled and said, "Let's eat first, and then continue after eating." Then he pointed to the pile of silver and said, "Divide it." ”
They are interesting enough, he can't not say nothing, otherwise how can they follow him with all their hearts?
He Yu, Qi Kang and the other brothers were surprised, and Zhu Third Brother sneered: "How can this be? ”
He lost three or four thousand, to say that it is not painful to be fake, but if he really takes it back, will this intention of borrowing gambling and giving away silver tickets be in vain?
Cheng Mo said: "My brothers have been busy with me for a year, and these silver tickets should be regarded as a flower bar for my brothers." ”
This is to treat them, Wu Kong said: "Then how can it be done?" ”
He didn't take the opportunity to send money, and he didn't lose much, roughly calculated, he probably lost more than two hundred taels.
Zhang Qing hurriedly went out with Cheng Mo, and said impatiently: "Fourth brother, fifth brother has said so, what's wrong?" ”
He didn't lose much, and now the big thing on his head is a family affair, and it doesn't matter if he loses more or less.
