Chapter 203 [Visit at the door, bow down to others] under
Mu Linfeng turned around and held Zhong Nanping's hand tightly, and continued to say to Zhong Wannian: "If Master Zhong still insists on thinking that the path you have chosen for your daughter is a happy one, Mu has nothing to say. If Master Zhong thinks that your daughter is like this,
After several years of life, you still can't get back a word of love from your father, but what you get in exchange is indeed misunderstanding and even scolding from your father. Have you ever thought about how your daughter feels?"
Zhong Nanping stood beside Mu Linfeng, already sobbing. Mu Linfeng quickly tightened Zhong Nanping's hand and said to Zhong Wannian: "Since there is such a father in the world, it's okay if the father doesn't recognize him!"
Pull Zhong Nanping away.
Seeing this, Zhong Tian hurriedly said: "Wait a minute before the wind blows!"
Mu Linfeng stopped when he heard the words, turned around slightly and said: "My children have been wronged. I can't explain it. I can only bear it silently in my heart. It lasted for three years. My father didn't care for me. In the end, all I got was endless abuse."
, what else is there to miss about such a father?" With that said, he tried to pull Zhong Nanping away again.
Zhong Tian hurriedly walked to the desk, knelt down to Zhong Wannian and said, "Dad, Nanping has suffered such humiliation over the years, are you really so hard-hearted?"
At this moment, Zhong Wannian stood up slightly, put his hands on the desk, and shouted: "You...you guys stop..."
Mu Linfeng pulled Zhong Nanping to a halt, then turned around and said, "Master Zhong, if you have anything else to scold, please finish it today..."
Zhong Wannian pointed at Mu Linfeng and said: "Shut up..." Then he looked at Zhong Nanping for a long time and then said: "Are everything this kid said true?"
Zhong Nanping burst into tears at this time, and quickly ran to Zhong Tian's side, knelt down on the ground, and just said: "My daughter is unfilial and makes dad worry..."
When Zhong Wannian heard what Zhong Nanping said, he acquiesced. His body swayed and he almost fell. Zhong Nanping and Zhong Tian quickly got up and stepped forward to support Zhong Wannian, helping him sit down slowly.
After Zhong Wannian sat down, he picked up a cup of tea with trembling hands. After taking a sip slowly, he turned to look at Zhong Nanping and said, "Nanping, dad... I'm not worthy of being a father..."
Zhong Nanping quickly held Zhong Wannian's hand and cried: "Dad, don't say that, as long as you don't blame your daughter..."
Zhong Wannian said with tears on his face: "Dad, why should I blame you? Daddy is an old fool..."
Zhong Nanping quickly protected Zhong Wannian and cried: "Dad..."
Zhong Tian stood aside, with tears in his eyes.
Mu Linfeng stood at the door of the study, but the corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly.
Zhong Wannian and Zhong Nanping hugged each other and cried for a long time. Zhong Wannian slowly pushed Zhong Nanping away and said softly: "Daughter, go home, your mother is thinking of you day and night..."
Zhong Nanping couldn't help but nodded happily when he heard this, and said: "As long as the father doesn't blame the daughter, the daughter will go home right now!"
Zhong Wannian then glanced at Mu Linfeng at the door, and said to Zhong Nanping: "Nanping, go see your mother. I believe your mother will be happier when she sees you!"
Zhong Nanping said repeatedly: "Well, my daughter also misses her mother..." Zhong Nanping said, and then glanced at Mu Linfeng at the door and said: "Dad, where is Mr. Mu... Mr. Mu?"
Zhong Wannian said: "Go and see your mother. Dad has something to say to him!"
Zhong Nanping said quickly: "My daughter has never done anything against the etiquette and law with Mr. Mu. Dad must not embarrass Mr. Mu!"
Zhong Wannian nodded slightly and said: "Dad knows, you go ahead!"
Zhong Nanping then exited the study, and when he walked to Mu Linfeng, Mu Linfeng smiled slightly at Zhong Nanping, and Zhong Nanping also nodded slightly to Mu Linfeng, as if thanking him.
After Zhong Nanping left, Zhong Wannian said: "You... Mr. Mu, right? Come in!"
After hearing this, Mu Linfeng strode into the study. Zhong Wannian then said to Zhong Tian: "Show the guests a seat!"
When Zhong Tian heard this, he immediately moved forward and moved a chair for Mu Linfeng. After Mu Linfeng sat down, he realized that Zhong Wannian had been looking at him. Mu Linfeng quickly stood up and held his hands in his hands and said: "Mr. Zhong, what did Mu just say?"
The words are a bit extreme, but..."
Zhong Wannian quickly waved his hand and said: "I know, Mr. Mu, please sit down!"
After Mu Linfeng sat down, Zhong Wannian pondered for a while, and then said to Mu Linfeng: "First of all, I would like to say thank you to Master Mu on behalf of Nan Ping, for taking care of Nan Ping..." Then he added:
"But it will be a waste of time. I want Nanping to move back to Zhongfu. Mr. Mu has no objection, right?"
Mu Linfeng said repeatedly: "Mu has long been looking forward to a family reunion in Nanping, how can he object!"
Zhong Wannian looked at Mu Linfeng and couldn't help but nodded slightly, and then said: "Although Mr. Mu now owns Yanghuai and is respected by everyone in the Yanghuai area, I also have something to say.
Sir, can you listen to me?"
Mu Linfeng quickly stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Zhong is a senior. If you have anything to do, just reprimand him. Mu also knows that there are many things in the Yanghuai land that are not done well enough!"
Zhong Wannian said: "I have also heard that Mu Shuai wholeheartedly cares for the people in Yangzhou and is loved by the people. But has Mr. Mu ever thought that people who have rebelled since ancient times have basically had no good results..."
Zhong Tian said from the side: "Dad, what you said is wrong. Linfeng is doing justice for heaven and asking for life for the people. How can it be treason? Didn't the Zhu family's country also be snatched back from the hands of the Mongolian Tatars?
Is that..."
Zhong Wannian shouted: "What do you know? Taizu is expelling the slaves to protect our Han family. This is the case at the same time!"
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly and then said: "What does Mr. Zhong think of Li Shimin?"
Zhong Wannian asked curiously: "Li Shimin? Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, he was naturally the master of the Ming Dynasty..."
Mu Linfeng didn't wait for Zhong Wannian to finish, and immediately said: "Does Mr. Zhong know that the Li family of the Tang Dynasty was just taken from the Yang family of the Sui Dynasty? The Sui Dynasty was a Han Dynasty, right? What's more, Li Shimin
He is not an orthodox Han, but Mr. Zhong praised him as a wise master..."
Zhong Wannian couldn't help being speechless when he heard the words, and quickly said: "Then Sui Yang Emperor was licentious and excessive in taxes. Why shouldn't Li replace him?"
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "How does Mr. Zhong think the world compares with the late Sui Dynasty? The difference is that the emperor is incompetent, the eunuchs are causing chaos, and the people are living in dire straits... So how does Mu Linfeng's request for life for the people become treason?"
Zhong Wannian couldn't help but be speechless for a while after hearing this. After hesitating for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "Of course there is a difference...this..."
Zhong Wannian spent a long time talking about this, but he didn't give any reason.
Mu Linfeng said: "The difference is that Tang Zong and Song Zu have already achieved success and become a generation of wise kings, while I, Mu Linfeng, have not yet achieved success and have not yet become a generation of wise kings. This is the difference!"
Zhong Wannian looked at Mu Linfeng and then said: "You... you want..."
Mu Linfeng knew that Zhong Wannian wanted to ask whether he wanted to be emperor, and immediately said: "I don't know, if the general trend is the trend, Mu will consider it. Mu actually wants to protect the Ming Dynasty, but in the Ming Dynasty, Mu is insignificant.
You can’t even say half a sentence. If you want to completely change the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty and establish a new governance, you must take the power into your own hands. If you have no power, who will listen to you?"
Zhong Tian listened to Mu Linfeng's words on the side, and couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart, thinking: "If Mu Linfeng really becomes the emperor, wouldn't I be the uncle of the country?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy, and then he thought in his heart.
He said to Zhong Wannian: "Dad, what Linfeng said is absolutely true. Now that the world is in chaos, how can the princes and generals be content with each other? It is said that times make heroes. Besides, Linfeng also has a pure heart that thinks about the people. It is better than Sichuan's.
Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng and others from the northwest, right? I heard that Zhang Xianzhong is massacring the city again..."
Mu Linfeng couldn't help but shudder when he heard this and looked at Zhong Wannian.
After hearing the words, Zhong Wannian couldn't help but fell into deep thought, and then he patted the table and said: "Well, I can't control you noisy people anymore. I am a man from the world. I don't read many books and I can't argue with you. Besides, even if you one day
Entering the Forbidden City in Beijing, I am afraid that I will die if I see it... Putting this matter aside for now, Mr. Mu, you said that you and my Nanping..."
Mu Linfeng said quickly: "Mu can guarantee with his head that he and Nanping have never done anything compromising at all!" Then he thought to himself: "If you think that just sleeping in the same bed is considered compromising, then I
This head can’t be saved!”
Zhong Tian said from the side: "In my opinion, Nanping should be married to Linfeng immediately regardless of whether this is the case or not. Although Linfeng and Nanping are innocent, what do outsiders think? They only know that Nanping is in Linfeng.
I have lived in your mansion, who cares if anything happens to you?"
When Mu Linfeng heard what Zhong Tian said, he couldn't help but thought to himself: "If you think so, I will naturally agree!" Thinking about it, he couldn't help but look at Zhong Wannian. After all, it was his decision.
Zhong Wannian looked at Mu Linfeng, listened to what Zhong Tian said, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Well, what Tian'er said makes sense!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Linfeng immediately stood up, knelt down in front of Zhong Wannian, cupped his hands and said, "Linfeng pays homage to my father-in-law!"
Zhong Wannian said quickly: "Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet..."
Mu Linfeng then stood up and said: "Mu is crazy about Nanping, and I hope my father-in-law will make it happen!"
Zhong Wannian said: "Don't be in a hurry to recognize your father-in-law. Until now, Nanping is still Zhu Yousong's princess. Since Nanping is still a wife, how can she get married again?"
When Mu Linfeng heard this, he couldn't help but thought to himself: "His grandfather, if he had known that day, he would have asked Zhu Yousong to write a letter of divorce!" But he said: "It doesn't matter, Linfeng can wait. As long as Linfeng returns to Jinling, let Zhu Yousong write it.
A piece of paper..." Then I thought about how I was going to write this divorce letter after Zhu Changxun went crazy that day in the Imperial City Prison.
Zhong Wannian and Zhong Tian saw Mu Linfeng hesitate and asked quickly: "How?"
Mu Linfeng looked at Zhong Wannian and Zhong Tian and thought: "Let's talk about it then. If it doesn't work out, I will have no choice but to kill him and make Nanping a true widow..." Thinking of this, Mu Linfeng said quickly:
"Nothing, just ask Zhu Yousong to write a letter of divorce!"
Zhong Wannian asked: "Is Zhu Yousong willing to write it?"
Mu Linfeng sneered and said, "I'm afraid he has no choice but to write it!"
Zhong Wannian and Zhong Tian couldn't help but take a breath when they saw Mu Linfeng talking like this. However, thinking of Zhong Nanping's lifelong happiness, they naturally hoped that Mu Linfeng would let Zhu Yousong write a letter of divorce.
Mu Linfeng said quickly: "Let Nan Ping live in Zhong Mansion these days. As long as Mu gets the divorce letter, he will marry Nan Ping immediately!"
When Zhong Tian heard this, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Linfeng, you and I will be in-laws in the future!"
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly, and quickly raised his hands to Zhong Tian and said: "Brother, Linfeng is polite!"
Zhong Tian quickly held Mu Linfeng's hand and said, "You're welcome, Linfeng!"
But they heard Zhong Wannian cough a few times. The two of them looked over quickly and saw Zhong Wannian slowly stood up and said: "This matter has been settled, but before Zhu Yousong's divorce letter comes out, I
It seems that Mr. Mu should have less contact with Nanping..."
Mu Linfeng said quickly: "Linfeng understands!" But he said in his heart: "Even if we have contact, I won't let you know!"
But I heard Zhong Tian interjecting from the side: "By the way, Dad, Tian'er has something he hasn't told you yet!"
Zhong Wannian asked curiously: "What's the matter?"
Zhong Tiandao: "Today Linfeng handed over a deal to our Zhenyuan Escort Bureau... and in the future, Linfeng will cooperate with our Zhenyuan Escort Bureau on military transportation matters... Linfeng and I have reached a verbal agreement..."
Hearing this, Zhong Wannian couldn't help but said: "Oh? Is this serious?" He looked at Mu Linfeng.
Mu Linfeng looked at Zhong Wannian and couldn't help but thought to himself: "After all, he is still a businessman. If I had known I wouldn't have to waste my time talking!" Thinking of this, he quickly handed over to Zhong Wannian and said, "Yes, this matter will wait until Linfeng goes back to make a plan.
After that, immediately sign a contract with Big Brother!"
Hearing this, Zhong Wannian laughed and said, "Okay! Okay!" He patted Mu Linfeng's shoulder repeatedly.
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly and thought: "OK, this matter is settled!"
Zhong Wannian smiled and shouted quickly outside the study: "Old Pan, tell the kitchen immediately, Mu Shuai will have dinner in my house today..."
Pan Guofan, who had been waiting outside the study, immediately said: "Yes, sir!"
Zhong Wannian looked at Mu Linfeng with a smile on his face, and then shouted outside the study: "By the way, let Bin'er come back today... This kid has been fooling around outside all day..."
When Mu Linfeng heard this, he couldn't help but trembled in his heart: "Zhong Bin? I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while!"
But I heard Pan Guofan say outside the study: "Master, the young master went to Shandong with his friends yesterday, saying that he was going to Mount Tai to worship heaven!"
Zhong Wannian's face changed greatly during the dinner, and he shouted quickly: "Sacrifice to heaven? Is he the one who sacrificed this day? Does he think he is the emperor? This little bastard is getting more and more presumptuous... Send someone to intercept him quickly."
return!"
Pan Guofan outside the study said repeatedly: "Yes, yes..."
Mu Linfeng naturally knew that in this era, offering sacrifices to heaven was what the emperor did, but Zhong Bin might still be lying on the hospital bed at this moment, and would not say these words at all. This must be a lie made up by Pan Guofan on his own initiative.
, I couldn’t help but feel funny thinking about it.
At noon, the entire Zhong family attended. In addition to Zhong Wannian, Zhong Tian, and Zhong Nanping, there was also Mrs. Zhong. Mrs. Zhong was very fat, with a face full of fat and a look of good fortune, but there was nothing else about her.
She saw that Zhong Nanping was her daughter, but she was kind and kind, and she had a good impression of Mu Linfeng. She kept asking Mu Linfeng about her at the dinner table.
In addition to Mrs. Zhong, there is also a concubine who is young, very charming, and has a good figure. After meeting Mu Linfeng, she kept chatting with Mu Linfeng. Mu Linfeng thought to himself: "If it weren't for my father-in-law's horse, I would be the same." I want to give it a try." Aunt Zhong also has a young son, who is young, only ten years old, but he is very naughty.
The girl who served the concubine was quite good-looking, and she didn't look like a maid at all. When Mu Linfeng saw her lovely appearance and sparkling eyes, he couldn't help but secretly sighed: "So there is such beauty in the Zhong Mansion?" But no. Knowing his name, Mu Linfeng wouldn't be able to ask him in person.
Mu Linfeng only saw some bruises on her arms and couldn't help but frown. Then he saw how cautiously she served Mrs. Ying. He already knew the general idea and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
After the meal, Zhong Wannian had a long chat with Mu Linfeng, which was nothing more than some matters about their escort agency and the cooperation matters Zhong Tian mentioned to him. Mu Linfeng answered them one by one with a respectful attitude, which made Zhong Wannian feel more confident. He looked at her with a different eye, and was even more certain about Mu Linfeng as his prospective son-in-law.
Then Mu Linfeng claimed that he still had important things to do, and then left Zhong Mansion. Zhong Wannian quickly ordered Zhong Tian to see Mu Linfeng off in person. When Mu Linfeng came out of the gate of Zhong Mansion, he heard Zhong Nanping shouting behind him: "Mu Young Master…”
Mu Linfeng turned around and saw Zhong Nanping standing at the gate of Mu Mansion. He looked at Mu Linfeng, hesitated to speak, and finally said two words: "Thank you!"
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "Go back, Mu Mansion will ask someone to bring your clothes as a gift!" After saying that, he walked forward.
Zhong Tian was more sensible and said quickly: "Zhong's bodyguard agency still has matters to attend to, so we're leaving for now. We'll meet again in Linfeng later!"
Mu Linfeng nodded slightly, then took Zhong Nanping's hand and said softly: "Just wait for me, Linfeng will definitely come to marry you!"
When Zhong Nanping heard this, his face turned red and he ran into the Zhong Mansion. Then he turned around and said, "Nanping is waiting for you!"
