Zhan Zhumen

Chapter 654 Killing two birds with one stone

Dui Ba didn't expect that the Duke of Qian in the capital city was already under the control of the young master, and that Mrs. Tai could bypass the young master and secretly contact Yunnan to bring the Yu family's daughter here.

As Mu Yan's confidant, Dui Ba is in charge of all his general affairs and economy, so he naturally knows what the young master wants.

What's more, Langguang Pavilion and Guangfengshui have cooperated well these years, and he can see Miss Huo's character.

Back then Miss Huo had no status, so he was willing to marry Miss Huo to his young master, not to mention that Miss Huo's status is different now, and the young master is a match made in heaven.

Raise your hands and feet in favor.

"My lady heard that your family made rumors that this Miss Yu's was sent over there to marry Young Master Mu, let me find out."

"I knew you were coming to inquire about the news. If you don't come, I will visit Missy at home. If you come to ask me, you are asking the right person."

Fearing that Huo Xi might have misunderstood, Dui Bayuan also thought of making a visit.

For Zhuifeng who came to inquire about the news, he immediately shook off all the news he knew.

Yu Wenying, sixteen years old this year, is the niece of the former Marquis Mu Chun's widow Yu Shi.

The Yu family is well-known in Yunnan, and the family is huge. Over the years, their descendants have continued to marry local chieftains and official clans, growing stronger and stronger.

Mrs. Yu's mother was the daughter of Shen Wansan's family, a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River. After the Shen family was destroyed, it did not affect Yu Shen's family.

Back then, Hou Muying of Xiping was in charge of Yunnan's military administration. Due to the large number of ethnic minorities in the area, the forces were intertwined, and the borders were complicated, there were often disputes, and the administration was not smooth.

Later, thanks to the help of Yu's family, money and effort, Hou Xiping was able to pacify Yunnan.

Later, after Mu Chun's original spouse passed away, Marquis Xiping made the decision to hire the daughter of the Yu family as his step-wife for Mu Chun. This Mrs. Yu was also the granddaughter of the Shen family.

Old Hou Ye wanted to give his son the help of the Yu family, so that his future journey would be smoother.

Unexpectedly, Mu Chun passed away early, and Mrs. Yu did not have a son and a half daughter, and she refused to return to her natal family to remarry.

The Duke of Qian, Mu Sheng, has been helped by the Yu family all these years, so he is naturally grateful.I have a lot of respect for this elder sister-in-law.Although Mrs. Yu lives in a nunnery outside, she often sends people to take care of her everywhere.

This Yu Wenying is the daughter of Mrs. Yu's eldest brother.

The head of the Yu family is the speaker of the Yu family, Madam Yu's brother is the head of the Yu family, and Yu Wenying's brother Yu Changyang is the next head of the Yu family.Even at a young age, he already has outstanding abilities, and when he was young, he and his young master were considered good friends.

"Yu Wenying's older brother has outstanding abilities and is better at being a man than his father. The local prominent family has given this young master a lot of face. Now he speaks more effectively than his father."

"Is there anyone in their family in the officialdom?"

Dui Ba shook his head: "His family is very rich, and many of his descendants are educated, but I don't know if they all have a business mind, but none of them can pass the imperial examination to become an official. His family has donated some money over the years. Official positions. But the donated officials are all idlers and don’t have much authority. But his family has a lot of money, and he has attracted many people from the officialdom over the years, and with the help of the Duke of Qian, the business has grown bigger and bigger.”

Of course, the Yu family's business is only doing big in the southwest, and it can't be compared with these wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River.

"But Mrs. Yu's mother is from the Shen family. I'm afraid that all the connections of the Shen family fell into the hands of the Yu family." It should not be underestimated.

Seeing Zhufeng frowned, he comforted him: "Don't worry, your girl is now considered a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. I'm afraid she doesn't pay attention to a Yu family. Besides, the Yu family is only a businessman, how can they be with the British government?" compared to."

"If my girl doesn't go back to the British government, will she be inferior?" Zhufeng looked at him coldly.

Dui Ba waved his hands in fright.

"No, no, that's not what I meant. Can't you understand what my young master is thinking? When your girl was not as high as the table, he followed her. Don't worry, I know my young master. He is a tough person. No The kind of person who compromises for money, for a certain purpose, or to inherit the title. He only listens to his heart. I wrote to my young master when I first heard the news. You put your girl at ease. "

Chasing the wind raised her eyebrows: "What care should my girl have? She is the eldest daughter of the British government, so why don't all the men in the capital let her choose?"

"Yes, yes, I said something wrong. It should be my young master who is anxious to get angry. I will send someone to watch the house."

"Oh, by the way, tell your lady that the boat to Nanyang may have already returned to Ningbo Port, and it will be half a month at the latest before returning to the capital!"

This is great news!
The ships to Nanyang have been going for a year and a half.Although the girl didn't say anything on the face, she was anxious in her heart, afraid that something might happen.

The loss is small, but there are quite a few people who followed this time. If it is broken, not to mention the families of these boatmen, even the girls will not be able to slow down.

"Okay, then I'll report back to my girl."

After hearing the news, Huo Xi was really happy.Finally came back.

Qiushuang on the side also wept with joy.Dad has been gone for more than a year, and there is no news at all. Now that he finally got accurate news, this news is so happy.

"This girl is still crying." Everyone laughed at her.

"Go, go home and tell your mother and family members." Huo Xi said with a smile.

"Well! Girl, I'll go back and tell you, I'll be back soon, no need to ask for leave!"

"Girl, are you afraid that the girl asking for leave will deduct your monthly money?"

"That's not true! I'll just go back and say something, and I'll come back to serve the girl!"

"Go ahead. You won't be deducted from your monthly payment. Stay at home and talk to your mother and sister, and come back tomorrow morning."

"Thank you girl!" He ran away in a hurry.

Everyone was very happy that the boat to Nanyang returned to the court smoothly, but thinking of Miss Yu, everyone fell silent again.

"Girl, Miss Yu is Mrs. Yu's niece, I'm afraid she still wants to get married. If she uses her identity to suppress Young Master Mu, it may be difficult."

Mother Ma was very worried, filial piety is more important than anything these days.

Just like the Mrs. Tai in their mansion, although she knew that she had harmed her, the girl could do nothing to her.

"Yes, girl, it sounds like the Yu family also helped the old Hou Ye and the Mu family, which is a bit difficult. It takes up benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and filial piety. If Master Mu refuses, I'm afraid his reputation will not be very good."

This Mrs. Tai of the Duke of Qian's Mansion is really tall, and she kills two birds with one stone.

If Young Master Mu and Huo Xi failed to make a marriage, then he would not be able to threaten Mu Zhan's status.

Or insisting on marrying Huo Xi would violate loyalty, filial piety, kindness and righteousness, and would be criticized by others.I'm afraid that if he gets the title, he will also lose the support of the noble family in Yunnan.

Huo Xi had a headache, she thought it would be difficult for Mu Yan to choose.

Seeing Mother Ma and the other girls looking at me worriedly, they smiled and comforted me: "Why are you making such an expression? I'm afraid your girl won't be able to get married. People lining up outside who want to marry your girl are all in line. The gate of the outer city is closed!"

Vanilla and the others stomped their feet: "Girl, I can't wait to make fun of you!"

"It's okay, don't worry, soldiers will block you, and water will cover you."

After speaking, he looked at Vanilla, "Do you think that the weather during this time is not normal?"

　Those who have read ancient Chinese novels may often see such plots, that is, when F burns, use high-grade B wine to wipe the forehead, palms, feet, armpit, etc. to cool down.I haven't tried it, I'm thinking, I don't know if it is more effective than diapers~ Do you think I should stock up on a bottle of B wine?Then nothing can be bought.It’s Chinese New Year soon, so the price of B wine won’t go up~
