Zongwu: Madam, please respect yourself.

Ning Zhong pretended not to see Wu Gong.

Wu Gong could only smile awkwardly, walked past him, and got into the carriage.

"Aning, has the letter been sent?"

"It has been sent." Ning Zhong nodded and had no intention of saying anything more.

Yue Lingshan entered the carriage first, holding the decoction in the gourd in her hand, and pressed close to Wu Gong to greet him.

Huang Rong took Ning Zongze to discuss the route, and the two sat on both sides of the carriage.

They drove the carriage together and left Jianning Mansion.

What neither of them noticed was.

A fiery red figure watched them leave.

He also slowly disappeared around the corner of the street.

"Master, this subordinate is incompetent!"

Fang Dongbai knelt in front of Zhao Min with a pale face.

Zhao Min didn't even look at him, but said calmly: "Where is the destination of that passenger ship?"

Fang Dongbai hesitated and said, "Most of the passenger ships here go to Fuzhou."

"Well, then we'll just sit back and wait for them in Fuzhou.

I've given you a chance once, but you didn't cherish it.

For the sake of your loyalty over the years, I hope you can seize this second chance I give you.

After all, I don’t often give others opportunities!”

Fang Dongbai nodded and stood aside.

at the same time.

Fuzhou.

Mantuo Villa

Mantuo Villa was originally located in the south of the Yangtze River. Later, in order to avoid the war, it took refuge in Fuzhou.

Fortunately, as maritime trade gradually developed, Fuzhou began to become prosperous, so it was no worse than Jiangnan.

When Mantuo Villa was in Jiangnan, few people could reach it.

Since the old owner died.

His wife automatically inherited the position of owner of the village.

The lady was moody.

As soon as he took over as the owner of the village, he cut off all contact between Mantuo Villa and the outside world.

And a new set of village rules were formulated.

As long as anyone enters the Mantuo Villa, the woman will be tortured. If she enters by mistake, she will be thrown out of the Villa without risking her life.

But men, regardless of whether they entered by mistake or not, will have their limbs chopped off, used as flower fertilizer, and planted among the flower fields.

Forcibly turning Mantuo Villa into a dangerous place isolated from the world.

This situation has not changed at all even after moving to Fuzhou.

However, in recent times, the contact between Mantuo Villa and the outside world has become very frequent.

A large number of fresh dishes were brought into the villa, and a variety of fine wines were brought in barrel after barrel.

The delicate flowers in the flower field have been replaced with seasonal vegetables.

The animal pens that had been vacant for a long time were also filled with various birds and beasts.

Even the cranes were caught a lot.

All the famous chefs in Fuzhou City were also invited.

Of course, considering that the dishes in Fuzhou may not be to the taste of the guests.

Mantuo Villa also specially hired many chefs from the Jiangnan area, which was a waste of money.

Moreover, the village rule that men are not allowed to enter the villa has been temporarily abolished.

All this is just a gift for the only heir of Mantuo Villa.

However, only the people in the village knew that this was not just a gift for getting haircuts.

What the village owner really wants to do now is a political marriage.

The reason why Mantuo Villa moved to Fuzhou was not only to avoid the war, but also for a long-lasting bet.

After all, everyone wants to live a richer life.

In the villa, everything is in Jiangnan style.

Pavilions, pools and lotus flowers.

The breeze blows in the willows, and the sound of the piano and harp slowly echoes.

Under the willow tree, the girl is wearing an elegant long skirt, with a somewhat sad look on her face, which is reminiscent of an ancient poem and painting.

Her manner was gentle, and there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

With a fresh and beautiful face, her slender fingers gently struck the magnificent strings, emitting a lingering and pathos melody.

At this moment, she seemed to be an ancient beauty forgotten by time, standing outside time and space, quietly watching the world.

Who would have thought that this was just a fifteen-year-old girl?

"Yan'er, why are you hiding here?

The clothes have been prepared for you, so hurry up and try them on.

There will be many guests coming, including many of my mother's close friends for many years. You must not embarrass your mother. "

Between words.

A woman who looked almost exactly like the girl walked out of the attic.

Although her age is different, and her face also shows signs of aging, it can still be seen that she is a gorgeous beauty.

"Mother! I don't want to get married so early!"

Gently holding the strings with her palms, the girl started acting coquettishly.

"Mom, I've said it many times, I like my cousin, and I won't marry anything but my cousin in this life!"

"That's enough, what's so good about that kid from the Murong family?

Just like his father, he thinks about restoring the country all day long!

It takes capital to have such a big spring and autumn dream.

Their army of hundreds of thousands back then was defeated by another's army of 70,000 to 80,000, so they should have known that their strength was exhausted.

How many years has it been?

He still dreamed of the spring and autumn dream of restoring the country and becoming an emperor all day long. "

"But, my cousin is good to me."

"Yan'er!" Li Qingluo couldn't bear it any longer. She was about to say something cruel, but suddenly she remembered the life-and-death love she had loved back then, which ended up being heartbreakingly painful. She was silent for a while: " You like Murong Fu, I know, but he may not like you.

What he was trying to figure out was just the secrets of my martial arts in Langhuan Paradise.

However, this time if he can arrive before the engagement ceremony.

Tell me that she likes you and is willing to marry you. If she gives you a large dowry, I will fulfill your wish. "

"Thank you, mother!"

The girl was ecstatic.

But Li Qingluo still kept a straight face.

"I hope you heard what I said clearly. What I said was not to ask him to come and marry you with empty words, but to come up with a sufficient dowry." Li Qingluo said coldly: "In addition, I also said ugly things. If he doesn't show up, you should attend the engagement ceremony obediently. Duke Wu is at the peak of his power, and his son is also a talented person. Although he doesn't know martial arts, he is a Confucian scholar who is well-read in poetry and books, and he does not have any bad character.

If you marry him, you will not suffer any disadvantages or be bullied.

Mothers can also rest assured! "

The girl was silent for a moment. She was not a messy person and understood that her mother had already made a lot of concessions.

If you push too far, it may be counterproductive.
