Fight the Giants

  Chapter 654 Kill two birds with one stone

  Duiba didn't expect that the Duke of Qian in the capital was already under the young master's control, and that Mrs. Tai could surpass the young master and secretly contact Yunnan to bring the Yu family's daughter here.

  Duiba, as Mu Yan's confidant, is in charge of all his general affairs and economy, so he naturally knows what the young master wants.

   What's more, Langguang Pavilion and Guangfengshui have cooperated well these years, and he can see Miss Huo's character.

  At the beginning, Miss Huo had no status, so he was willing to marry Miss Huo to his young master. What's more, Miss Huo's status is different now.

   Raise your hands and feet in favor.

   "My lady heard that your family made rumors that this Miss Yu was sent over there to marry Young Master Mu. Let me ask to clarify."

   "I knew you were coming to inquire about the news. If you don't come, I will come to visit the eldest lady. You are asking the right person."

   Afraid that Huo Xi might have misunderstood, Dui Bayuan also thought of making a visit.

  For Zhui Feng who came to inquire about the news, he immediately shook off the news he knew.

  Yu Wenying, sixteen years old this year, is the niece of the former Marquis Mu Chun's widow Yu Shi.

  The Yu family is well-known in Yunnan, and the family is huge. Over the years, their descendants have continued to marry with local chieftains and official clans, growing stronger and stronger.

  Mrs. Yu's mother is the daughter of Shen Wansan's family, a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River. After the Shen family was destroyed, it did not affect Yu Shen's family.

  Muying, the Marquis of Xiping, first took charge of the military administration in Yunnan. Due to the large number of ethnic minorities in the area, the forces are intertwined, and the border is complicated, there are often disputes, and the administration is not smooth.

  Later, thanks to the help of the Yu family, who contributed money and efforts, Xipinghou was able to pacify Yunnan.

  Later, after Mu Chun's original spouse passed away, Xiping Hou made the decision to hire Mu Chun's daughter from the Yu family as his step-wife. This Mrs. Yu is also the granddaughter of the Shen family.

  Old Lord Hou wanted to give his son the help of the Yu family, so that his future journey would be smoother.

  Unfortunately, Mu Chun passed away early, and Mrs. Yu did not have a son and a half daughter, and she refused to return to her natal family to remarry.

  Governor Mu Sheng of the State of Qian has received help from the Yu family over the years, so he is naturally grateful. I have a lot of respect for this elder sister-in-law. Although Mrs. Yu lives in a nunnery outside, she often sends people to take care of her everywhere.

  This Yu Wenying is the daughter of Mrs. Yu's eldest brother.

  The head of the Yu family is the head of the Yu family, Mrs. Yu's brother is the head of the Yu family, and Yu Wenying's brother Yu Changyang is the next head of the Yu family. Even at a young age, he already has outstanding abilities, and when he was young, he and his young master were considered good friends.

   "This brother Yu Wenying has outstanding abilities, and he is better at being a man than his father. The local prominent family has given this young master a lot of face. Now he speaks more effectively than his father."

   "Is there anyone in their family in officialdom?"

Dui Ba shook his head: "His family is very rich, and many of his descendants are educated, but I don't know if they all have a business mind, but none of them can pass the imperial examination to become an official. His family has donated some money over the years. Official positions. But the donated officials are all idlers and don’t have much authority. But his family has a lot of money, and he has attracted many people from the officialdom over the years, and with the help of the Duke of Qian, the business has grown bigger and bigger.”

  Of course, the Yu family's business is only doing big in the southwest, and it can't be compared with these wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan.

   "But Mrs. Yu's mother is from the Shen family. I'm afraid that all the connections of the Shen family fell into the hands of the Yu family." It should not be underestimated.

Seeing Zhufeng frowned, he said comfortingly: "Don't worry, your girl is now considered a rich man in the south of the Yangtze River. I'm afraid she doesn't pay attention to a Yu family. Besides, the Yu family is only a merchant, how can they be with the British government?" compared to."

   "If my girl doesn't return to the British government, will she be inferior?" Zhufeng looked at him coldly.

  Dui Ba waved his hands in fright.

"No, no, that's not what I meant. Can't you understand what my young master is thinking? When your girl was not as high as the table, he followed her. Don't worry, I know my young master. He is a tough person. No The kind of person who compromises for money, for a certain purpose, or to inherit the title. He only listens to his heart. I wrote to my young master when I first heard the news. You put your girl at ease. "

  Zhufeng raised her eyebrows: "What should my girl worry about? She is the eldest daughter of the British government, so why don't all the men in the capital let her choose?"

   "Yes, yes, I said something wrong. It should be my young master who is anxious to get angry. I will send someone to watch the house."

   "Oh, by the way, you told your lady that the boat to Nanyang may have returned to Ningbo Port by now, and it will be back to the capital in half a month at the latest!"

   This is great news!

  The ships to Nanyang have been going for a year and a half. Although the girl didn't say anything on the face, she was anxious in her heart, afraid that something might happen.

  The loss is small, but there are quite a few people who followed this time. If it is broken, not to mention the families of these boatmen, even the girls will not be able to slow down.

   "Okay, then I'll report back to my girl."

   After hearing the news, Huo Xi was really happy. Finally came back.

   Qiushuang on the side also wept with joy. Dad has been gone for more than a year, and there is no news at all. Now that he finally got accurate news, this news is so happy.

   "This girl is still crying." Everyone laughed at her.

   "Go, go home and tell your mother and family members." Huo Xi said with a smile.

   "Well! Girl, I'll go back and tell you, I'll be back soon, no need to ask for leave!"

   "Girl, are you afraid that the girl asking for leave will deduct your monthly money?"

   "That's not true! I'll just go back and say something, and I'll come back to serve the girl!"

   "Go. You won't be deducted from your monthly payment. You can talk to your mother and sister at home and come back tomorrow morning."

   "Thank you girl!" She ran away in a hurry.

  The ship to Nanyang returned to the court smoothly, everyone was very happy, but thinking of Miss Yu, everyone fell silent again.

   "Girl, this Miss Yu is Mrs. Yu's niece, I'm afraid she still wants to get closer. If she uses her identity to suppress Young Master Mu, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

  Nurse Ma is very worried, filial piety is more important than anything these days.

  It's like the wife in their mansion. Although she knows that she has harmed the wife, the girl can't help her.

   "Yes, girl, after hearing it this way, the Yu family also helped the old Hou Ye and the Mu family, which is a bit difficult. It takes up benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and filial piety. If Master Mu refuses, I'm afraid his reputation will not be very good."

   This Mrs. Tai of Qian State Duke's Mansion is really tall, and she kills two birds with one stone.

  If Young Master Mu and Huo Xi can't get married, and fail to marry a noble family, then Mu Zhan's status cannot be threatened.

  Or if she insists on marrying Huo Xi, it will violate loyalty, filial piety, kindness and righteousness, and will be criticized by others. I'm afraid that if he gets the title, he will also lose the support of the noble family in Yunnan.

  Huo Xi had a headache, she thought it would be difficult for Mu Yan to choose.

Seeing Mother Ma and the other girls looking at me worriedly, they comforted me with a smile: "Why are you making such an expression? I'm afraid your girl won't be able to get married. People lining up outside who want to marry your girl are all in line. The gate of the outer city is closed!"

  Vanilla and the others stamped their feet: "Girl, I can't wait to make fun of you!"

   "It's okay, don't worry, the soldiers will block you, and the water will cover you."

   After speaking, he looked at Vanilla, "Do you think that the weather during this time is not normal?"

   Those who have read ancient Chinese novels may often see such scenes, that is, when F burns, use high-grade B wine to wipe the forehead, palms, feet, armpit, etc. to cool down. I haven't tried it, I'm thinking, I don't know if it is more effective than diapers~ Do you think I should stock up on a bottle of B wine? Then nothing can be bought. It’s the Chinese New Year soon, so the price of B wine won’t go up~
