179 Roll, roll, roll
The autumn scenery in the capital is still very beautiful, and naturally many people come to enjoy the scenery outside the city. Although the place Yu Zhi and Wen Jiuxiao chose is a bit remote, they still met more than one acquaintance.
"Hey, look, is that Mr. Xiaowen?" A young man touched his companion.
The companion narrowed his eyes, "It's true!"
The two looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Who hasn’t heard of Master Xiaowen’s illustrious reputation? It doesn’t matter that he went out of the city to enjoy the scenery. The key is that he actually brought a woman with him!
Master Xiaowen and a woman?! Who in the capital doesn’t know that Master Xiaowen is not a womanizer?
What's going on now?
Although they were far away, they could still clearly see Master Xiaowen holding a plate in his hand and handing the food on the plate to the woman...
The two looked at each other, and one of them swallowed hard, "Master Xiaowen is diligent and dedicated, and it's rare for him to go out to enjoy the scenery and relax, so let's not disturb him!"
The other person nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, let's change places."
The two of them turned around and left, very fast, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Another group of people came after them, and they turned around and walked away like them, as if there were wild beasts behind them.
Yu Zhi laughed so hard that tears flowed from his eyes, "Master Xiaowen has accumulated a lot of prestige!"
As long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed! Alas, my mental quality is not good!
Yu Zhi pretended to sigh, but when he saw that Jiuxiao still had a face that was neither sad nor happy, he couldn't help but said: "Are they all officials of your Dali Temple? Are you afraid that your privacy will be intruded upon?"
After glancing at Yu Zhi who was not too concerned about the excitement, Wen Jiuxiao said nothing.
"Tell me, tell me, it's quite interesting." Yu Zhi poked his arm.
Wen Jiuxiao then said helplessly: "Not entirely, two are from Dali Temple, one is from the Ministry of Punishment, and the rest look familiar."
Yu Zhi blinked, nodded, and said seriously: "I understand, they are afraid of being silenced by you. Look at you, you are so unpopular, tsk tsk, you are like a ghost."
Thinking of those people turning around and leaving in unison, oh no, running away, Yu Zhi wanted to laugh again.
"Isn't it a lot of prestige?" Wen Jiuxiao glanced at her.
Yu Zhi was choked and was silent for two seconds. She raised her pretty face and said, "Don't they all mean the same thing?" Don't they all scare people away? What's the big difference?
Wen Jiuxiao wanted to say that there was a big difference. Thinking that this woman was justified and confident, but not justified and had to quibble, she swallowed her words again.
Yu Zhi actually wants to bring up the topic of proposing marriage and stir it up. Tomorrow comes tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows? Haha!
No need to ask, Yu Zhi also knows the attitude of the Wu'an Houfu. Ha, have you hit a wall? You still have the nerve to say to her "proposing marriage tomorrow", but you will lose weight if you break your promise.
However, I haven’t seen him fat either, so this sentence is a lie.
I heard that this man came to her father every day to show his courtesy. Yu Zhi looked at Wen Jiuxiao and couldn't imagine that this man could stoop down to please others.
Forget it, for the sake of his sincerity, she won't laugh at him.
Where is Wen Jiuxiao? I wanted to explain a few words about the "proposing marriage", but I felt a little guilty and didn't know how to talk about it. I simply didn't say anything. I secretly decided to speed up the progress and urged them when I returned home. They really didn't want to.
Only if you agree with him can you take the next step. Anyway, he didn't hide it and told his family immediately. If his family doesn't agree, he can't find another way to do it.
His method is most familiar to Yu Zhi, isn't it just to follow the process? The process has to be completed, and I have the obligation to inform you. As for your reaction, I can't control it. After the process is completed, there is no missing link in the process. I informed you, and I
I have fulfilled my obligations, and if something happens to me, it will have nothing to do with me.
Due diligence is exempt from liability, understand?
All workers know this!
Wen Jiuxiao went back after dinner with her mother and son. He wanted to stay. Can Yu Zhi agree? Can Yiteng drag him to the Pacific Ocean?
Marquis Wu'an waited for a day and finally saw his son. "Where has he gone?" He held back his anger.
"Go out of the city and enjoy the scenery."
"Alone?" Marquis Wu An knew he was not, but still couldn't help but want to stab him, "As an old man, I didn't know you had such a leisurely mood."
Do you still know that you have neglected your duty? Wen Jiuxiao curled his lips, extremely sarcastic. Although he did not say it directly, Marquis Wu An saw the meaning and couldn't help but feel angry.
However, he soon remembered the business again and asked under pressure: "Have you found the Yu family?"
Wen Jiuxiao hummed.
"She gave you a son?"
Wen Jiuxiao hummed again.
"Are you sure it's yours?"
This time Wen Jiuxiao didn't agree and gave his father a mocking expression. The old man didn't wish him well at all, or did he think he was as stupid as him?
"What's that expression on your face?" Marquis Wu An raised his voice fiercely, with an angry look on his face.
Wen Jiuxiao's eyes became more sarcastic, "What did the father say about his son's expression?"
Marquis Wu'an...
I'm so angry that my teeth are itching! This third child, father and son could still talk to each other before, and he would listen to a few words of what he said no matter how reluctant he was.
Ever since that woman fell off a cliff five years ago, he seemed to have become a different person, with a strange attitude, stabbing whoever he saw.
Marquis Wu An expressed that he was unjustly accused, and the third child wanted to accept it, but he did not stop him. The woman fell off the cliff, and it had nothing to do with him. He was a majestic marquis, could he take action against a woman?
"You are so angry all day long, why can't you talk properly?" Marquis Wu An scolded him, "Since he is your son, then take him back to the house as soon as possible. You do the same, he is your own flesh and blood, how can you let him live outside?
"
"No!" Wen Jiuxiao refused.
"You don't want to admit it? No, the bloodline of the Marquis must not be left outside." Marquis Wu An frowned, "Even if you don't want to admit it, you can take it back and let your mother raise it."
Just now, he wants to steal his son? No wonder Zhizhi wants to hide far away.
"I don't know when he was born. He has grown so big and I haven't raised him for a day. How can I recognize him?" Wen Jiuxiao said with a stern face, "If he follows his mother, he will be the eldest son. If he is brought back to the house, he will be the one to count.
What? I haven’t raised him for a day, so I can’t hurt him, right?”
Marquis Wu'an's expression changed, "That's nonsense, you're following that woman, he, his origin is unknown. What do you want outsiders to think of a woman who is alone with a child? It's for the sake of the child that she should be taken back, so she said,
Just say that he is your concubine. Whether it is studying or practicing martial arts, his future is better than that of his mother."
Nice romance
"This doesn't bother father. Her mother is a widow, and his identity as the eldest son is firmly established." This was the first time Wen Jiuxiao acknowledged Yu Zhi's identity as a widow so happily.
"You, you..." Marquis Wu An was so angry that he couldn't speak. He had never seen someone curse himself.
Wen Jiuxiao continued: "With his mother, he can still practice martial arts. The child is smart. He has already read the Analects of Confucius at the age of five, so he can be successful."
"Where's the status? Where's the connections? Do you think having the ability is enough?" Wu'an Hou gritted his teeth, "Bring him back here, he is the prince of the marquis. Outside, he is just a kid from a poor family. How difficult is it to get ahead?"
Wen Jiuxiao admired his father's angry face and corrected him: "He is the concubine of the Marquis. Even the legitimate son has no resources. Can my concubine take the wheel?"
Even though Wu Anhou was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but feel angry. The third child could not climb to the high position today without his help.
"After all, you just want to marry that woman!" Marquis Wu An became furious.
"Yes, my son wants to marry her. He already married her five years ago, and now he is just compensating her with a grand wedding."
"That's a fake." Marquis Wu An thought of the marriage certificate and his hands were shaking with anger.
"Who said it was fake? It was archived by the government and witnessed by the eminent monks of Huguo Temple. It really can't be true anymore."
"What if I don't agree?" Marquis Wu An's face looked very ugly.
Wen Jiuxiao lowered his eyelids, then raised them again, "It's best if my father agrees. If he doesn't agree... then forget it. It's not his father's marriage anyway. The son thinks it's best if his father agrees. His father is already over 40 years old, and there's nothing in the house yet.
Can you sleep at night when your legitimate grandson is born? Your son is different from you. You only want your legitimate son, not those born from a concubine."
Marquis Wu'an's expression changed again. He was troubled by the fact that there was no legitimate grandson in the palace. Even if he loved his second son, he still looked forward to the legitimate grandson born by the eldest and third son. A concubine would have to be downgraded to inherit the title.
Seeing this, Wen Jiuxiao said again: "One more thing, Yu Zhi's background is not low..."
"What identity did you assign her? Who were you looking for?" Marquis Wu An glared at Wen Jiuxiao, thinking that his son had given her an identity for that woman.
This is a common method. If the woman's status is not high enough, she should find a family with high status to get her as a godmother. Of course, the marriage is not for nothing, and the benefits must be given.
"Prince!" Wen Jiuxiao knew that his father had misunderstood. Not only did he not explain, but he also followed his words, making his misunderstanding even deeper.
"You treacherous son!" Marquis Wu An was furious.
Who doesn't want to have a relationship with the prince? But this traitor wastes his favor on a woman, begs for the prince's favor, and puts his second son to the prince's side. How great!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, "Get out, get out, get out, don't let me see you again." He was almost mad at his son.
Wen Jiuxiao stood up, patted his butt and left directly. He had an old face, and it looked like he thought too much.
Marquis Wu'an...
His body swayed, his mind was confused, and he stood still with his hands on his knees.
My heart couldn't help but sink, and the prince was involved... This traitorous son would sooner or later bring huge disaster to the Marquis.
