Chapter 979 Eat carrots and worry less
Mr. Tang drank the hangover soup and was not drunk at all now.
He endured it again and again, but still asked patiently, "Brother Jue, do you know what you are talking about? Everyone in the Mu family is dead now, only me, an old loser, and you are left.
“If I can marry a wife and have children, I don’t need to force you to do anything.
"But I am over fifty years old and my health is not good. I don't know when I will return to the west. The Mu family can only re-establish their family and prosper again, and it can only fall on you."
“Think about your dead grandfather, parents, uncles, how could you say such selfish words!”
Mu Jue, however, did not waver at all and said seriously, "Third uncle, I have been taught by my grandmother and parents since I was a child. They have never forced me to study and become an official or to shine on my family. They just hope that I can grow up safely and happily and live a free life. .
“Later, when the barbarians broke into the city, they tried their best to protect me and wanted me to survive. If they knew better, they definitely didn’t want me to live a life of humiliation and compromise!”
"That's not right!" Mr. Tang was anxious and tried to persuade him earnestly, "Since you know that you survived because of the protection of your whole family and your life in exchange for your life, you should support your family for them!
“My grandpa doesn’t want to harm you, but he just wants you to marry a dignified and virtuous woman who can wholeheartedly help you to prop up the Mu family and spread its branches.
“Twenty years from now, our Mu family will return to its previous prosperity!”
It's a pity that no matter what he said, Mu Jue just shook his head and refused to compromise.
In the end, Mr. Tang was so angry that he lost his mind and blurted out.
“Back then, I traveled far away from home because of a woman from the world. I thought I had found a good match for life, but in the end we parted ways. Women are all the same, and it’s not worth a man delaying their future for them!
"If I had listened to my family and married a good wife, I would have had many children and grandchildren now. How could I be begging you, an unworthy descendant, like this?"
Mu Jue straightened his sleeves and asked with a bit of surprise, "My uncle must have liked that woman very much back then? Since he liked her, no matter whether the outcome is good or bad, it is a rare experience in life.
“Uncle Grandpa, why should I insist on the result and then knock down all the women in the world with one stroke?
“Furthermore, the princess is extremely intelligent, filial and reasonable, and has a noble status. Why do you think that she will not be a good wife and support the family of the Mu family with me?
“I’m tempted now, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to move the Li family to part ways and allow the princess to marry. My uncle and grandpa should help me, so why are you blocking me like this?”
“You...you’re going to make me so angry!” Mr. Tang slammed the table and became even more angry when he saw that Mu Jue was not afraid and even had a bit of scorn on his face.
"Why did you fall in love with Princess Kangle? That girl has been pampered by the Li family and the Marquis since she was a child. Even though she has learned the rules and is sensible, she can't bear the grievances and hardships!
"How can I help you start a business from scratch and slowly build up the family together! Moreover, you are climbing high, while she is marrying down, and you will be suppressed by her as a woman for the rest of your life!"
“The Li family still has family rules, and they are not allowed to take concubines! You are the only one left in our Mu family. It is time for you to take more concubines, have more children, and continue your family life after marrying a wife!”
"The Li family is powerful. Are you willing to listen to people all your life that you rely on your father-in-law to live? You must listen to me! Even if you marry a legitimate daughter from a declining scholarly family, as long as you are generous and virtuous, you will be better than the coquettish one from the Li family. Women should be good!”
Hearing this, Mu Jue's face turned cold, and he stood up and said, "Third uncle, you can say something bad about me, but don't be disrespectful to Princess Kangle! If we don't talk about our marriage, and we don't even say a word about it, it's settled. , you can’t just talk to her like that!
“When my parents and people were slaughtered by the barbarians like cattle and sheep, it was the Marquis who avenged me, a young boy, and sent me to learn martial arts to strengthen my body!
“After I arrived at the Li family, the Li family treated me even more considerately. I had no worries about food and clothing, and never neglected me. Even though I am an animal, I still need to be grateful!
“Speaking of which, Third Uncle cared so much about the family, why didn’t he abandon the family and run away? When the family was slaughtered, where were you? When I was helpless, where were you?
“But now I have successfully grown into a man who is upright and upright, and you jumped out to tell me how to shine!
"If you have been so stubborn and can't correct your position, then just pretend that we haven't seen you today, and we can just live our lives in the future!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out, striding out of the door!
“Brother Jue!” Mr. Tang rushed to the door, tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground, still shouting, “Mu Jue, come back! Come back!”
It’s a pity that Mu Jue heard clearly but didn’t even look back. The two little book boys hurried forward to help and whispered, "Sir, don't be anxious. The young master may not have thought about it. He will definitely come back later!"
"This stubborn boy, why doesn't he understand my painstaking efforts?" Mr. Tang looked up to the sky and sighed, "I just made the wrong choice back then, so I don't want him to be like me. I will regret it in the future!"
At this time, the old servant guarding the door came in and asked, "Sir, why is the young master gone? Someone was sent from the cafeteria to ask, what dishes do you want for dinner?"
Mr. Tang's eyes lit up and he quickly ordered, "Wait for me to wash up. I'm going to the cafeteria."
Everyone couldn't help but get busy.
Soon, Mr. Tang changed into a brown silk gown and went directly to the canteen.
At this moment, the students have already started to eat.
Suddenly seeing Mr. Tang coming, they quickly saluted and said hello.
Li Laosan was surprised when he heard the commotion in the back kitchen. He stepped forward to salute and said with a smile, "Mr. Tang, why are you here in person? If you have anything to do, just ask the boy to come and give instructions."
Mr. Tang responded, "I have something to say to you. Can you find a secluded place?"
Li Laosan was even more confused, but he still led Mr. Tang to the room where he usually rested.
The room was kept very clean, and even when Bai Rijiayin came over, two pots of flowers were placed on the windowsill.
At this moment, the flowers are blooming well and the house is full of fragrance.
Li Laosan invited Mr. Tang to sit down, poured him tea with his own hands, and said with a smile, "Sir, today is your birthday. Are you satisfied with the banquet given to you?"
A flash of embarrassment flashed in Mr. Tang's eyes, and he quickly responded, "Satisfied, thank you for your hard work. In the past few years, I have troubled you and your family a lot about my food."
"What did you say, sir? My family's left-hand character needs your guidance. I don't have much else to do, so I can only cook more delicious meals for you. It's convenient to live near the water and the terrace." Woolen cloth."
Li Laosan smiled, looking very honest and honest.
Mr. Tang sighed inwardly, his mouth becoming increasingly unable to open.
He has taught many students over the years.
Although everyone is good and treats him with respect, there are only so many people who are as considerate and careful as the Li family and take care of everything.
Princess Kangle is the most cherished treasure of the Li family. As long as he opens his mouth today, his friendship with the Li family will probably come to an end.
But thinking about the family's re-emergence and the stubbornness of his great-nephew, he couldn't care less.
