Chapter 416 Nemesis

The matchmaker's face turned red and white, as colorful as a palette. He stuffed the embroidered shoe into his arms and said goodbye quickly.

When the matchmaker left in a dirt, Mrs. Duan scolded Han: Being a mother, I don’t even know how big my daughter is. If I hadn’t called Wei'er to deal with it, wouldn’t Wei'er be tied to the basin for nothing.

Han was ashamed: It was his daughter's fault.

Mrs. Duan couldn't bear to say much and waved her hand to let Han go down.

The matchmaker went to Mu Enbo's mansion and presented the silk cloth wrapped in embroidered shoes: Madam, I can't do this matchmaker, please ask Gao Ming.

Mrs. Mu Enbo glanced at the silk cloth bag: What does my aunt mean? Is it because the Duke of Wei's Mansion did not agree?

The matchmaker raised his hand and wiped his forehead.

Just now, he came out of the Duke of Wei's Mansion and was in a hurry and had a cold sweat. If he caught a cold, he would have been bad for eight lifetimes.

I only heard that there was a scam in the common people's family, but they hadn't seen a wealthy family dare to come like this. She should stay away from Mu Enbo's mansion in the future.

Madam, you really made it difficult for me to do it. Today I was almost beaten up by someone.

Mrs. Mu Enbo's face turned cold: The Duke of Wei's Mansion is so tough, you didn't take out these shoes for them to show them.

The matchmaker felt contemptuous and felt aggrieved on his face. He pressed the corner of his eyes with a veil: Madam, don’t mention these shoes. These are not the embroidered shoes of his cousin. Today I saw that cousin with his own eyes. His little feet were only the size of a golden lotus, and these shoes were more than enough to fit his feet. I was exposed on the spot and I was really shameless for a moment.

The matchmaker put down his shoes and stood up: Madam, if your mansion really likes the cousin of Duke Wei’s mansion, you should invite someone else to go there. I have no shame to go there again.

The matchmaker's words made Mrs. Mu Enbo look extremely ugly. She ordered the maid to seal a red envelope and send it to the matchmaker out. She turned around and asked someone to invite the second wife.

Soon, the second wife came over: Sister-in-law is looking for me

Mrs. Mu Enbo pushed the silk bag over and sighed: Brother and sister, I know you love Liang'er. But no matter how much you feel, it is hard for us to follow his wishes to do the abducting matter. Do you think so?

What does the eldest sister-in-law mean? The second wife was stunned when she heard it.

Mrs. Mu Enbo took a sip of tea: Miss Cheng San is the cousin of the Duke of Wei's Mansion. She is also a disciple of the national master. If this marriage is done, the imperial concubine will be satisfied. But brother and sister. You shouldn't have taken these shoes and said that Liang'er got it from Miss Cheng San, they had already had an affair. So, I asked the matchmaker to propose marriage early this morning, and they almost beat the matchmaker out of sticks.

Yes, but these shoes are indeed from Miss Cheng San.

Mrs. Mu Enbo's mouth held the corners of her mouth. Her smile was very light: But the matchmaker saw Miss Cheng San's feet with her own eyes, which were smaller than these shoes. Brother and sister, you should talk to Liang'er carefully. He will have to take on heavy responsibilities in the future. Don't learn some habits that are not on the table.

After saying this, the second wife looked embarrassed and she didn't dare to talk back to Mrs. Mu Enbo, so she had to go back with a dark face.

When Mu Enbo came back, he saw Mrs. Mu Enbo was depressed. So he asked about the reason.

Mrs. Mu Enbo told the situation and finally turned around and cried: I am so poor. I gave it to my son.

Mu Enbo's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly interrupted her: Madam, you can't say this nonsense.

Mrs. Mu Enbo stopped and wiped her tears with a veil: But who can understand the pain in my heart except the master? I am not saying that Liang'er is not good, but my second brother and sister are his biological mother. She is too fond of her on weekdays. Look, now she dares to talk nonsense about such things. If this is spread, isn't it a big joke? Which family dares to marry her daughter to him in the future

Mu Enbo grabbed Mrs. Mu Enbo's hand and persuaded: Liang'er will inherit my title in the future. If you don't like it, just teach him a lesson. Your second brother and sister dare not disrespect you, your eldest sister-in-law.

Mrs. Mu Enbo pulled out her hand and sneered: Even if the second brother and sister respect me, what if my uncle is not unaware that Liang'er is the old lady's heart, how can I say a word?

Speaking of this, Mrs. Mu Enbo's eyes turned red: Until now, I can't raise my head in front of the old lady, and I will be charged with the crime of not being able to give birth to a son for the rest of my life.

Mu Enbo was afraid that she would continue to say anything, so he hurriedly comforted: Madam, I feel wronged. Your love concubine remembers it. It will be endless blessings.

Mrs. Mu Enbo sighed and stopped talking.

Mu Enbo thought that his nephew Hua Liang was too mean, so he turned around and called his brother to scold him.

Mr. Hua Er went to Hua Liang with a dark face because his son was scolded. Without saying a word, he used the branches he broke on the road to beat Hua Liang hard and scolded him: It's always the father's debt to pay off his son, and his son will live on behalf of his father. You are a prodigal son, and you are scolded by your uncle again. I warn you that it's not just a simple matter to get into trouble in the future. It's useless to stop your grandmother and mother.

Mr. Hua Er walked away. Hua Liang, who was whispered to a pig's head, cried in the corner. He hugged the table legs and murmured: Could it be that Cheng San is my natural nemesis? Why did he get a fat beating every time he attacked her?

Oh, I never want to love again

The farce of Mu Enbo’s mansion in the proposal for marriage was finally spread, and it became a joke for many people after dinner. However, when the winter solstice passed, news of a defeat came from the north, and everyone’s attention was all focused on this.

Emperor Changqing was so anxious that he couldn't eat. He learned that the main reason for the defeat was that the Daliang army could not withstand the severe cold in the north, especially the general who was frost-weary before the war was even more furious.

Emperor Changqing urgently recruited important officials to discuss matters in the study.

The Minister of War said: The northern part is cold, and the soldiers of Daliang are not accommodating. I think they should add clothes, medicinal materials and other items to keep warm, so as to overcome the difficulties of winter.

Didn’t the cold-resisting clothes have been shipped over long ago? Emperor Changqing asked.

Your Majesty, our soldiers cannot adapt to the coldness of the north and must wear animal leather jackets or thickened cotton jackets.

The Minister of Revenue hurriedly stood up: Emperor, there was a snow disaster in Jingzhou last year. The subsequent resettlement of victims and reconstruction of houses was spent a lot of money. The war in the north has lasted for several months, and the treasury is not full now.

Emperor Changqing looked at Zhang Shouguan with a dark face: Zhang Shouguan, what do you think

Shoufu Zhang said: Wars have always consumed the national treasury the most, and if the war in the north is lengthened, the national treasury will inevitably become more empty. Therefore, I believe that now is not a time to feel distressed. Even if I try my best to make the soldiers eat and wear warmth and strive to win in the shortest time. In addition, I believe that choosing a coach with experience in the north is the most important.

Emperor Changqing frowned.

If we talk about the experience of fighting in the north, who can compare to the Han army that once forced the Northern Qi army to retreat to the north of Lang'ashan.
