Chapter 143 Ten Moves Rejected (Two Chapters in One)

The mother-in-law's words calmed the scene suddenly. Shen Mo and Jiang Hansu looked at each other and were both stunned.

After Bai Yingbo was stunned for a moment, he realized that the other person Chen was talking about was herself. After a "ah", he ran into the room and hid with his face that was already red like a burning cloud.

Three heads suddenly appeared at the kitchen door, with smoke at the bottom, and green bamboo and purple bamboo on it, respectively. The three of them also grew up with their mouths, showing a surprised expression of the people who were eating melons and not being too big.

Jiang Hansu came to her senses, looked at her biological mother with a angrily voice, and said, "Mom, you...", but she still didn't say the blame. She got up and ran back to the room to "please" Bai Yingbo.

Chen smiled at Shen Mo disagreed and said, "Every girl is so shameless. She is thinking about it all the time, but she is embarrassed. Brother Mo, if you are willing, Xiaobai's mother will tell you, she will definitely be happy. As for Xiaozhuzi, you don't have to worry. He and Xiaobai's two sisters are sympathetic, and they have long seen Xiaobai's thoughts about you. If it weren't for this, my mother wouldn't have said this."

Although Chen's idea was very exciting and Shen Mo was very moved, he finally refused.

"Mom, I understand that you are kind to me. But this matter cannot be so hasty. In my heart, no matter how many women I have around me in the future, Xiao Zhuzi will definitely be the first to enter the door, which is what she deserves. As for Miss Bai, we are not familiar with it yet, so let's talk about the future."

After hearing this, Chen was a little disappointed, but he was more relieved.

Although she also treated Bai Yingbo as her daughter in her heart, Jiang Hansu was her biological daughter after all, and Shen Mo's words just now established Jiang Hansu's status as the official wife.

Even if Bai Yingbo enters the house, he can only be a concubine.

Of course, the wife and the concubine cannot enter the house together.

From this point of view, Shen Mo respects Jiang Hansu and her mother-in-law.

Chen nodded and said, "You are still considering it carefully. It's my mother Meng Lang. My mother means Xiaobai is also a good girl. If you have that kind of intention to each other, it will naturally be the best."

Shen Mo nodded and said, "I naturally understand my mother's feelings. Let's go with the flow. It's getting late, so I'll go back first. Since I've decided to get married in three days, I'll go back early to prepare."

Chen smiled and said, "Good kids, don't pay too much attention to the pomp. At that time, invite some close people to come and everyone will be lively together and give a testimony. As long as you two live well, it is more important than paying attention to the pomp."

Shen Mo sincerely felt Chen's love for him, and his open-mindedness to the world after experiencing separation and death.

...

After returning to the small yard where the prefect's office lived, Shen Mo sat in the study and was stunned for a while.

How can I go to have a meal and become a married man when I come back?

This made him a little dazed and unreal. He was a human being in his two lives and suddenly got married, and he instinctively felt a little subtle panic.

Although he doesn't have to worry about houses, cars, tickets, and the difficulties of strange mother-in-law, which are common problems when ordinary men get married, and his fiancée is still very fond of, generous, cheerful, and understanding, he has inexplicably become a little afraid of marriage.

He thought about it and felt that this emotion should be based on the responsibility that a man has in his bones for marriage, such as supporting his family, glorifying his ancestors, passing on his family, protecting his wife and children, etc.

Think about my current health. Although I am eighteen years old, I am a human being in my two lives and my psychological age is nearly fifty years old. It is time to get married.

The body is at the peak of life, and you know how to get along with women psychologically, how to care about the fragrance and beauty, and how to run a family.

In terms of soul, he is a mature and wise uncle, but in terms of appearance, he is a lively handsome man. When combined, he looks the most attractive appearance of a man.

But thinking about Jiang Hansu, who is about to become his wife, is only eighteen years old. If she were to her own era, she would be a senior or freshman student.

When I think about it this way, I feel a bit beast.

But if it comes from, then he will be at ease. He has to change many things in this era, but some things have to follow the local customs and follow the guests.

To the indigenous people of this world, he is naturally a guest.

However, his goal is to turn the guest on the spot and eventually become the new owner of this land.

After a while, his emotions calmed down a lot. Shen Mo called his secretary Si Kun in.

"I'm going to get married in three days, I want to leave this matter to you." Shen Mo said straight to the point.

Si Kun grew up and said speechless for a while. Why is the lord going out for a meal and going to get married when he comes back?

I want to get married so suddenly, can I be forced to get married? Why is it because the lord and Miss Jiang have been secretly in Chen Cang, and something happened that had to get married earlier?

But why don’t I know when the lord did it? Don’t the lord stay in the prefect’s office every day?

If Miss Jiang had it, would she give birth to a son or a daughter to her lord?

Si Kun's mind suddenly had a bunch of gossip problems, so he looked strange and didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing his appearance, Shen Mo easily smashed a ball of waste paper on Si Kun's forehead and said with a dark face: "There is no secret of Chen Cang, and no marriage with a child. He just suddenly wants to get married. You are thinking about it, so you will be sent to Xinning County as the chief clerk."

Si Kun was startled and knew what he thought of. He hurriedly said seriously: "I don't dare. It's a big deal for the lord to get married, so I have to prepare well. Although it took a little hurry to make a request for me, I will do my best to do it."

Shen Mo said: "It's not that particular. You can help me find an empty house, not too big. Then draw up a guest list, without too many people, just our own people. In addition, prepare a sedan chair, wedding clothes and a bunch of wedding supplies. You can go to Lou Xiaoru for help, she is a woman and has a more detailed heart. In short, you don't need to be extravagant, but you want to be lively and festive. Remember to try not to publicize and not disturb the people."

Si Kun took out his small notebook and recorded it quickly with a charcoal pen, and finally said, "I have remembered it all, lord, don't worry, I will definitely do it."

Shen Mo waved his hand and asked Si Kun to go busy.

I sat alone in the study for a while, although I kept trying to calm myself down, all kinds of thoughts and inexplicable thoughts kept running around in my mind, such as my body being strengthened so hard that Jiang Hansu could not bear it.

How long does it take to have a baby after getting married? What if Jiang Hansu gets pregnant too early? What if she has difficulty giving birth when giving birth? In this era, a woman is as dangerous as passing the gates of hell.

If you have a child, you will be a daughter or a boy. If you are a daughter, what name is better...

But when Shen Mo felt uncomfortable when he thought that his daughter would be urged away by someone else's pig in the future, he felt that it was better for a boy to get rid of the cabbage that would harm others' homes.

Even thinking of Chen's previous proposal, he felt a little regretful.

If I agree, can I be the groom twice in a row in three days...

It seems to be very exciting to think about it.

He slapped himself gently, and Shen Mo sniffed and said, "Shameless."

...

The news that Shen Mo was about to get married in three days quickly spread among the top leaders of the bandit army. When Li Zhiyuan and others heard this, they didn't believe it first, and then they all came to ask Shen Mo if it was true.

The key is that everyone is gossipy when they come, and the expression on their faces is so rich that Shen Mo knows what they are thinking without saying anything.

But he couldn't be angry, he could only explain with a smile on his face that it was not what they thought.

I explained it over and over again, and it was not until Zheng Yunlong came to ask, that he was kicked out of the house by the unbearable Shen Mo.

Now, it finally became quiet, and everyone knew that the lord was really going to get married.

Everyone suddenly became excited and ran around to tell each other.

As the lord of a force, Shen Mo's marriage spread like wildfire. Not to mention the senior leaders of the bandit army, all counties from Yongzhou to Qiyang, Lingling, Shuangpai and even Xinning in Dong'an knew about this news.

In addition, the envoys sent by various forces in southern Hunan to Yongzhou City also learned about the news one after another.

Although Shen Mo said first and asked to control the scale, it was enough for internal personnel to celebrate and witness it, and no outsiders were invited to participate.

But from noon the next day after the news spread, people began to come to the door to give gifts.

The first person to give gifts was Zhou’s family on the east bank of Xiangjiang River outside Yongzhou City.

Zhou's family is also a landlord. They have thousands of acres of land in their family, but they mainly focus on doing business. There are more than a dozen shops in Yongzhou City alone.

When Jackie Chan brought 10,000 Qing troops to attack, Zhou, like most gentry landlords, believed that Shen Mo would definitely lose this time, so he ignored the policies announced by Shen Mo, gave up his home and shops in the city, fled back to the countryside manor to watch, and even organized the village warriors to guard against the possible defeat.

Unexpectedly, in a big battle, the entire Qing army was wiped out, and the commander Yu Chenglong was captured.

Zhou was completely panicked and urgently convened a family meeting to discuss countermeasures.

There were many different opinions. Some people said they simply fled to Changsha with gold and silver, while others said they didn’t have to do anything and waited for the change. Some even suggested that they simply apologize for the crime and ask Shen Mo for his understanding.

Anyway, there were all kinds of things to say, and it was so messy that it couldn't be settled. In the end, some people even started to cry, thinking that Zhou was going to be finished now.

Zhou Chuqi, the leader of the Zhou clan, was still a little decisive. After scolding everyone, he decided to give up the land and cooperate with all the requirements of the bandits, and try his best to retain food, property and commercial channels.

In order to be passive and take the initiative, Zhou Chuqi specially arranged someone to inquire about Shen Mo in Yongzhou City, hoping to get in touch with Shen Mo.

As a result, the sent people asked for inquiries for a few days and found that Shen Mo did not value female sex, did not like money, did not be greedy for cups, and did not like a traitor. He was just addicted to official business every day, and was simply impeccable. He was perfect and didn't look like a traitor leader at all.

This spy from Zhou was so anxious that he saw that the bandits' post-war work was completed, and he was about to think about vigorously promoting the countryside.

Once that time comes, Zhou loses the initiative.

Just at this moment, while walking around the street, Zhou's spies met Lou Xiaoru and Yan Ruyu and other women who were purchasing various silk red cloths, red paper and red candles for marriage. From their conversation, they learned that Shen Mo was going to get married. They immediately felt like they had a treasure and hurried back to Zhou's manor to inform the news.

Zhou Chuqi, the leader of the Zhou clan, thought this was an extremely rare opportunity to show goodwill to Shen Mo, so he personally made a gift list and came to Yongzhou City to give gifts.

When Shen Mo saw the gift list, he couldn't help but like the wit of the Zhou clan leader.

Although this person came for himself, the gift list stated that it was donated to the nursing home that took in and raised the elderly and widowed people and orphans. Among them, there were 5,000 stones of grain, 300 pieces of coarse cloth, and silk, ingots, salt and other items, all of which were quite considerable.

At the end, he also said that he admired Shen Mo's sincere love for the people, so he also wanted to do his best to make some contributions to the people of Yongzhou. He also hoped that General Shen Town could accept his wishes.

The whole article did not reveal the slightest intention of giving gifts to Shen Mo, nor did it make any requests.

Shen Mo stared at the gift list for a long time and smiled and said, "This patriarch Zhou is a smart person. OK, tell him, just tell him what he wants. I will thank him for the widowed and widowed people and orphans. Let him live a peaceful life. Our bandit army has its own scale when doing things."

After Si Kun passed this to Zhou Chuqi, he felt like he was amnesty and felt much more relaxed in an instant. He bowed to Si Kun and thanked him before leaving.

Since the Zhou family, all kinds of gift-giving people lined up in a long queue at the back door of the government office. Although Si Kun kept telling them that General Shen Town would not accept gifts, these people always had various reasons.

Some people, like Zhou, were under the guise of donating money, food and property to the Jinyangyuan, some were under the guise of rewarding the army, and some even under the banner of widening the moat and repairing the Yongzhou city wall. In short, there are all kinds of reasons.

As for the gifts he gave, he also gave food and grass like Zhou's family, some gave gold and silver, some gave houses, and some even sent his daughter to Shen Mo as a maid.

The above are mainly local gentry and merchants in Yongzhou, who mainly want to repair their relationship with Shen Mo and ultimately protect their own property.

The envoys sent by "King of Chu" Zhu Chengping to "enthrone" Shen Mo have long been sent away, but the envoys from the 36 villages in southern Hunan are still in the city.

Liuzhai, the 30th village in southern Hunan, stayed in the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare with the Qing army all year round. He was not very rich and had no money on the messengers.

This guy was so anxious that he scratched his head, knowing that if he didn't give gifts to his important joint, the mission sent by his general leader would have failed.

Fortunately, this person is also a scholar. He has good writing skills and is still as thin as Song Huizong's style. In the end, he had no choice but to write a banner titled "Expel the Tartars and Restore China", which was pasted and given to Shen Mo.

After three urgent and tense preparations, it was finally time for the wedding to be welcomed.

Shen Mo got up early in the morning and was put on a chair by Lou Xiaoru and a group of girls.
