"Master Hou!"
The butler had sharp eyes, and when he saw Mr. Hou, he felt like he had seen a savior. But then he thought of Miss Wu's identity, and he didn't want Mr. Hou to get into trouble.
So, he pulled his neck and shouted: "Master Marquis, come into the house quickly, there is a little something here, I can handle it."
Before the Marquis could speak, Miss Wu also noticed the Marquis.
She quickly let go of the housekeeper and hurriedly arranged her clothes and hair, trying to restore herself to her former beauty.
The Marquis glanced at her, his brows furrowed even deeper, but he didn't say anything and walked in with Li Laoer.
Miss Wu didn't expect that the Marquis would really ignore her, so she became anxious and shouted loudly: "Master Marquis, I'm here to find you!"
The Marquis stopped and asked with a calm expression: "What do you want from me? "
The butler still stopped me. Miss Wu was afraid that she would not have a chance to speak, so she blurted out: "I want to ask you why you don't want to marry me!
"If you are willing to marry me, there will be no gift of marriage, and I won't have to." Married to someone else! "
The Marquis raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl in front of him carefully. Although she was in a sorry state, her dress was very delicate, and the red treasure on her ear reflected the light of the setting sun, which was also very dazzling.
He also remembered whose girl this was. Needless to say, I have been raised as a child and do not know the sufferings of the world.
Then think about the soldiers with mutilated limbs in the sick camp, those cold corpses who committed suicide in despair.
They are just like the girl in front of me, they are all human beings . .
But after one person sheds tears and dies for the country, the other person is full of vanity and love, wearing gold and silver, enjoying all the glory!
How ridiculous
!
He can't suppress the irritability and violence for no reason! !
"What's so good about you, why should I marry you? ! "The Marquis asked with a sneer.
Miss Wu was stunned for a moment by the question, and replied anxiously: "I am the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Jiangning, and the Queen is my cousin. I...I am beautiful and gentle..."
"Humph! The Marquis snorted coldly and asked sharply: "What about the Jiangning Marquis Mansion?" Tianwu lost half of his country, and he was still able to survive in the south of the Yangtze River. Everyone in Jiangninghou Mansion counted them. Apart from living in a dream and dying every day, did they ever contribute anything to Tianwu?
"The Queen is your cousin? So what! She is the Queen, not you?"
As the Marquis spoke, his eyes became more disdainful and sarcastic, "Beautiful and gentle? This is even more useless! Could it be that Jiangbei barbarians Charge over, and if you stand in front of the formation, they will stop attacking because of your beauty and gentleness. What a joke!"
Miss Wu seemed to have been stripped of her gorgeous coat layer by layer, and she was criticized for being useless.
There was a severe blockage in her throat, and her heart felt as if there was a lump of charcoal in her heart. She was anxious and painful, and tears finally fell with thunderbolts.
Seeing her like this, the Marquis finally found some sense, took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and finally said, "Don't say that I don't want to marry a wife. Even if I want to marry one day, she can fly with me in the sky." An eagle fights against the wind and rain, not a canary like you who just chirps and shows off its beautiful feathers!"
After that, he turned around and entered the Hou Mansion.
Miss Wu's face was covered with tears, and she shouted with all her strength, "But, I really like you! I have liked you since I was ten years old. I am not greedy for vanity, I just like you!"
Unfortunately, Mr. Hou's The footsteps didn't stop at all. I don't know if I didn't hear it, or if I heard it, I didn't care.
Li Laoer followed Mr. Hou, but looked back and sighed slightly in his heart.
This girl is really unlucky. She was born in the Wu family, and she chose to express her true feelings at such a juncture. Isn't this an initiative to seek abuse?
The Jiangning Marquis Mansion wanted to marry their daughter into the Marquis Mansion. They wanted to see the Marquis' military power and the Emperor's reliance on him! Jiangning Houfu wanted to win over a backer for his family and also give the queen some help.
It's a pity that the idea is good, but it is the lice on the bald man's head, and everyone can see it clearly.
No matter the emperor or the marquis, no one will let them get what they want!
Today, the Marquis is worried about the wounded soldiers, and this Miss Wu comes to block the door again. It's strange that it ends well.
If this girl is really vain and her plan fails, she will be disappointed and angry at most, but now it seems that this girl actually has some real feelings.
This is terrible...
The housekeeper stretched out his arms to stop Miss Wu who was about to rush in. She had a huge headache.
There are many girls in Kyoto who like the Marquis. If all of them come to visit, he really doesn't have to do anything else. Guarding the door every day is not enough.
Fortunately, the people from Jiangninghou Mansion finally arrived.
I don't know which master of the Hou Mansion was leading the group. Perhaps he saw that there were too many people watching and didn't get out of the car at all. He directly ordered the nanny and maids to rush forward, helped the crying young lady and left.
Miss Wu didn't know whether she gave up or was too sad. She didn't struggle anymore and let them help her get into the carriage, and soon she disappeared.
The idle people watching looked satisfied and quickly turned around and ran away.
The butler was left pulling at his messy clothes, sighing and cursing, "What a world, women, stop being reserved!"
In the backyard academy, the Marquis took off his gown and threw it aside, and then sat by the window with Li Laoer. While drinking tea.
The tea was light and his brows furrowed even more tightly.
Fortunately, the butler came in later and brought two glasses of passion fruit drink with ice.
After drinking a glass of cold and sweet fruit drink, the two of them took a long breath and felt much more relaxed.
Li Laoer thought for a while and said: "Master Hou, the girl just said that she has known Mr. Hou since she was a child. Maybe she was sincere..."
Mr. Hou waved his hand and said: "I must have met him a few times before when I came in and out of the palace. , She was just a child and didn't pay much attention. Her sincerity and falsehood didn't matter. What mattered was the plans of Jiangning Houfu. The emperor would definitely not allow it. Her wishes as a girl could not change anything.
"What's more, even though I don't want to . Being entangled in Jiangning Houfu's schemes would not ruin a girl's rest of her life. Although the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo is incompetent and mediocre, he can live a safe life after marrying him, which is a good place for a woman to settle down.
"As for Jiangning Houfu, if you don't know how to restrain yourself, you will definitely not end up well in the future. If this girl gets married, she can save herself."
After that, he changed his topic, "I plan to open a few workshops to deal with injured people. Soldiers, let them fend for themselves, but I haven't figured out what to produce yet."
Li Laoer's eyes lit up, "I was thinking about this just now. That kid Fu Niu'er has a very sharp mind and knows a lot of new things. For example, this fruit drink looks very simple, but no one else can figure it out.
"Don't underestimate this thing. Just one Luo'an Academy can make more than ten taels a month, and there are Cyclamen there, too. Selling hundreds of cups a day!
"If Fu Niu'er really has a good idea, it shouldn't be difficult to open a workshop without expecting to be rich and powerful, just for food and clothing."
The Marquis was enthusiastic after hearing this. He stood up and put on his clothes again and said, "Let's go home. Let's eat!"
Li Laoer also stood up with a smile, "I originally wanted to try the chef's cooking, but I was disappointed again!"
The butler just went to the kitchen to arrange dinner, but when he came back, he saw the master walking out, his face looked worse than that of a bitter gourd. Still bitter.
But he couldn't stop him. He could only send his master away and cursed in a low voice: "It's all the fault of that dead girl from the Wu family. If she hadn't come to make a fuss, the Marquis would have stayed in the house."
But now , the Wu family is also scolding the Hou Mansion!
