Jiangnan scenery is good, and every February the plum blossom on the plum blossom mountain is in full bloom, the scenery is particularly charming.

Aunt Ji, with her watery red forehead, leaned on the pillow of plum blossom embroidered in lilac color. Looking at the plum blossom Wu Kuo brought back, she said with regret: "it's a pity that I can't go to the plum blossom mountain to enjoy the plum blossom with you." Aunt Ji's grandfather worked as a minister of propriety in Sanpin. She also studied and practiced calligraphy since she was a child, but later her family fell apart. Wu Kuo took her as his concubine not only because she was beautiful, but also because she was intelligent and learned to write.

Wu Kuo's idea is very advanced. He thinks that if there is a stupid mother, the child will be affected. If there is a smart mother, the child will be no worse. In fact, as he expected, aunt Ji's children were very smart. Jinbo, in particular, is brilliant and savvy.

Wu Kuo said with a smile, "there will be opportunities in the future." Then he teased his newborn son.

Wu Kuo likes aunt Ji very much and loves her children very much. This is why Fang is so afraid of aunt Ji. Aunt Ji is young and beautiful, and her husband loves her. She also has intelligent children, and her son may inherit the family business, which has threatened her status.

At this time, Wu Xiaomao, a close follower, said: "master, someone from Ho City said that he had something important to report back."

Aunt Ji's eyes flashed with a faint light when she heard that someone was coming from Ho City. If it wasn't for her prudence, she was afraid that she would have gone back to the West now. What's hateful is that she didn't grasp the handle and couldn't complain in front of the master.

When Wu Kuo heard this, he immediately went out. Hearing that the messenger said there was something important, but he didn't say anything important, Wu Kuo couldn't help frowning. After a while, Wu Kuo said, "pack up and return to Ho City tomorrow." Since Fang said so, I'm afraid it's really a big deal.

Wu Kuo and fang had a conflict before because of their eldest son's marriage. Wu Kuo thinks that his eldest son is going to take an official career. It's good for him to marry a girl from an official family, but Fang wants his eldest son to marry his niece. Of course, Fang didn't want to pit her son to help her mother's family, but she promised the master of Fang's family that she would marry him. If she repented, how would she be a man in her mother's family. Although Wu Kuo finally gave in, he was very upset.

The next morning, as soon as Wu Kuo got up, he saw Wu Xiaomao leading a young man over.

Wu Kuo's face was a little dignified and asked, "Shu Mo, how did you come here?" This young man named Shumo is Wu Shun's eldest son. If it wasn't for something important, Wu Shun would not let his son come to Jiangnan.

After Wu Shumo saluted Wu Kuo, he looked at the people around him and said nothing.

Wu Kuo waved back the crowd, and then he asked, "what's the matter at home?"

Wu Shumo said in a low voice: "my wife said that the princess has a crush on the second young master. The prince and the princess have the intention to recruit the second young master as their son-in-law. The wife doesn't dare to judge, so she sends the younger one to let the master go back as soon as possible. "

When Aunt Ji got the news, Wu Kuo was already on the road. Aunt Ji frowned and asked, "what did you hear?"

Chen Xiang, the servant girl, shook her head and said, "at that time, Wu Shumo, the messenger, was in the study with the master, and Wu housekeeper didn't know anything." Aunt Ji spent several years grinding tofu with water to make Wu Xiaomao favor her. Although Wu Xiaomao was only a servant, his words also had a great influence on Wu Kuo.

Fang was also a shrewd man, who had been aware of Wu Xiaomao's change for a long time. But Fang also accepted Wu Shun. With Wu Shun's help, he could avoid Wu Xiaomao in many things.

Aunt Ji's face flashed a trace of anger, and said: "even Wu calligraphy and ink are sent out, it seems that there is something big happening in the city of Ho..." although she has avoided Fang's several calculations for more than ten years, she has never been able to bargain for any advantage in Fang's hands, and it is impossible to put a hand in the city of ho.

Also met Fang Shi, if change a mind shallow or the method is not enough, early by Ji aunt trample down.

Chenxiang said: "aunt, do you want housekeeper Wu to help you find out what happened?" They don't have their own people in Ho City. All they know depends on Wu Xiaomao.

Aunt Ji's eyes flashed disgust, but she still nodded: "send the Huanghua pear wooden box in the second cabinet to housekeeper Wu." These years, aunt Ji has spent a lot of money to win over Wu Xiaomao.

It was thousands of miles from Jinling to the city, but it took Wu Kuo only six days to get back to the city.

Back at home, Wu Kuo immediately went to the backyard to find Fang's family. After shaking back the crowd, he asked, "what's the matter with you that the prince and the princess want to recruit Jinyu as their son-in-law?"

Fang told Wu Kuo exactly what Yuxi had said to her, but she hid Yuxi's indecisive attitude towards zaozao's son-in-law. Fang also told Wu Jinyu about Jujube's meeting with Wu Jinyu twice. After that, he said, "master, although the princess didn't make it clear, the meaning is very obvious."

Wu Kuo opened his mouth and asked, "during this period of time, does the princess still summon you?"

Fang shook his head and said, "no, the princess has not summoned me since then. I think, the princess is afraid to know that I can't be the master, waiting for the master to come back. " Such a big thing, she's a woman. I'm sure she can't judge it without permission.

Wu Kuo said in silence“ We can't refuse that the prince and the princess have this idea. In addition, the princess is also a dragon and Phoenix among the people. It's Jinyu's blessing that she can see Jinyu and recruit him as her husband. "

Fang's red eyes said: "I know, the prince and the princess have a crush on Jinyu, and we can't refuse it." This was in her expectation, but Wu Kuo didn't fight for it, which made Fang feel a little cold.

Seeing Fang's general knowledge, Wu Kuo was very satisfied: "did you tell him something from Jinyu?"

Fang shook his head“ No, These are all my guesses. I can't tell the child. When things are settled, I'll tell him. " After a pause, Fang said, "that child is filial. I believe he will understand our difficulties."

Wu Kuo nodded his head and said, "then I'll write a post." At the beginning, I had high hopes for Wu Jinyu. Unfortunately, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Mother he came into the room and saw Fang's handkerchief wrinkling. She asked softly, "madam, what does the master say?"

Fang's heart a little chilly, said: "he said that the prince and princess can see the gold jade is his blessing. I'd rather not be a son-in-law. "

Mother he said in a mosquito like voice, "does that lady have room to tell the master about this?"

Fang shook his head and said, "no, it's not time to say that." If we say that now, Wu Kuo may not agree, so we must wait for the right opportunity to talk about her plans.

After receiving Wu Kuo's post, Yuxi said with a smile, "I'm back so soon." After only 11 days, Wu Kuo would like to come back after receiving the news.

Cloud engine said: "tomorrow called him to come, will this matter settle down. In this way, the girl can go to Guizhou earlier. " It's been delayed for nearly half a month.

Yuxi said jokingly, "do you think this is shopping? Pay for the food and go? Although engagement is not complicated, lottery, name asking and Naji are also indispensable. "

Yunqing thought about it and said, "then exchange keepsake. When she comes back from suppressing bandits in Guizhou, she can go through these procedures." Yunqing thinks it's very troublesome, but he also knows that marriage can't be careless. When he married Yuxi, it was not grand, which always made him feel guilty.

Yuxi did not object: "there are priorities, I believe the people of Wu family can understand."

Yunqing was not worried that Wu's family would oppose him. He just said, "let's meet Wu Kuo tomorrow." It's settled earlier, and he won't be bothered for a day.

Yuxi sat on the right side of the top seat and saw Wu Kuo come in. He couldn't help looking at him more. After a close look, I found that Wu Jinyu and Wu Kuo's face contour were very similar to their eyebrows and eyes. However, Wu Jinyu's temperament is simple and her eyes are clear, while Wu Kuo's eyes are too deep to see.

Cloud Qing is the first to open his mouth and say: "this time I call you, you must know why?" Cloud engine doesn't like beating around the Bush all the time. If you have something to say, it hasn't changed.

Wu Kuo listen to cloud Qing tone is not good, lowered his head and said: "the prince and princess can take a fancy to the dog, is the dog's blessing."

Yun Qing was satisfied with Wu Kuo's attitude and said, "I mean the two children are still young. I'll get engaged after my date and hairpin ceremony."

Of course, Wu Kuo had no other words.

Yuxi then asked: "don't you know this? Does Jinyu know that child?"

Wu Kuo shook his head and said, "no, I'll tell him about it when I get back. But it's a marriage affair, the order of parents, the words of matchmakers. He knows and dare not disagree. "

Cloud Qing hears this words, think of the origin of this marriage, the facial expression is not good-looking immediately.

Yuxi said with a smile: "that's what I said, but they will live the rest of the life. If they are not willing, they will not live well. Therefore, I'd better ask your son before deciding on this matter. If he agrees, we'll exchange tokens. If he doesn't promise, we won't force people with force. We'll take it as if we didn't mention it. "

Wu Kuo's heart jumped and said, "don't worry, princess. The dog will agree." Previously, I heard that Yuxi wanted Wu Jinyu to be a member of the family, because he didn't get much profit, so he didn't think it was a happy event. But now Yuxi's indifferent attitude made his heart rise.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "nothing can be forced. You'd better ask the child's advice." If Wu Jinyu doesn't like it, no matter how much she likes Wu Jinyu, she won't agree with it.

Wu Kuo saw Yuxi's resolute attitude, so he had to nod his head and say, "good." In Wu Kuo's mind, it's best for Wu Jinyu to agree on this matter. If she doesn't agree, she has to agree.

Back home, Wu Kuo calls Wu Jinyu to the study, and tells Yuxi and Yunqing that they intend to let him go to the palace. Wu Kuo said, "I have promised the prince and the princess about this." This is not to consult Wu Jinyu, but to inform him.

Hearing this, Wu Jinyu frowned and asked, "Dad, as far as I know, the prince and the princess have four legitimate sons. Why do they want me to be a part of them?"

Wu Kuo didn't understand the meaning of Yun Qing and Yu Xi, and said, "I don't know that. But since the prince spoke to the princess, we can't refuse either. "

Hearing this, Wu Jinyu immediately said, "Dad, I'm not a burden.".

Wu Kuo said angrily, "it's not something you say you don't want to do." Wu Kuo was a businessman, who was the most profitable. Before, Wu Kuo thought that Wu Jinyu could not study and do business, so he wanted to give him an industry so that he could have a good life. But now she is favored by the princess. Even if she is a member of the family, it's good for the Wu family. For example, the eldest son's official career is the most dangerous, so if he can find the eldest princess as a backer, the eldest son's official career will be more stable. Moreover, the princess will not ignore the Wu family's affairs in the future.

Of course, Wu Kuo also had regrets. It would be better if the princess could marry his son. Unfortunately, the idea just flashed through his mind.

Wu Jinyu was also stubborn and determined that things would not change: "Dad, I've met the prince and the princess. They are very reasonable people. If I knew I didn't want to be a burden, I don't think they would blame me

Wu Kuo said coldly, "marriage matters, parents' orders, matchmaker's words. I have promised this marriage, and you can't object to it. " Wu Jinyu's opposition is a challenge to his authority as the head of the family.

Wu Jinyu's obstinacy also came up: "even if I die, I won't be my son-in-law."

Wu Kuo was so angry that the veins on his forehead were all up: "rebellious son, do you say it again?"

Wu Jinyu repeated the previous words: "Dad, even if I die, I won't be admitted to the palace."

In his anger, Wu Kuo carried out family law on Wu Jinyu. The whip was whipped on her body, and Wu Jinyu's face was sweating with pain, and she still cried out that she didn't want to be a burden.

When Fang got the news and arrived, Wu Jinyu had been knocked unconscious. Looking at his son who was beaten to flesh and blood and had been in a coma, Fang cried out: "master, even if Jinyu doesn't like you, it's also your own flesh and blood. How can you be so cruel?"

Wu Kuo threw down the whip and said angrily, "you are used to it."

Make so big noise, nature can't hide cloud Qing with jade Xi. Cloud engine immediately let people call jujube, said: "Wu Jinyu don't want to, you go back to pick up next to Guizhou tomorrow."

Jujube stunned, said: "why not?"

Yun Qing said with a cold face: "how many? Why? Hurry up and go to Guizhou tomorrow. " See daughter for a man so anxious, cloud engine heart is really fire very big.

Yuxi said: "jujube, since people don't want to, we can't force people, and try to make things worse, it's OK."

Zaozao lowered her head and did not speak.

Jade Xi see jujube so also some distressed, but since people don't want to, they also can't catch up: "quickly back to the yard to pack things!" With that, Yuxi patted the shoulder of jujube and said, "don't be sad, jujube. My mother will find a satisfactory husband for you in the future."

Jujube answered absently and went out.
