Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 24 The Little Husband
Wu Bai tentatively asked: "Then do you know a little brother named Su Li?"
Hearing Wu Bai ask the name, Xiao Zimo's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't answer right away.
On the contrary, Zhao Chengnan glanced at his cousin first, and then said to Wu Bai: "Brother, have you heard something about my cousin, but you have to trust my cousin, I can assure you, he The one he likes is definitely you, and he will not marry anyone else, if you don’t believe me, ask your cousin to swear to you?” Cousin, I can only help you with this.
"Yes, I swear, I will never marry anyone else, I will only marry you." Xiao Zimo naturally seized this opportunity to express his opinion.
Wu Bai's face was full of black lines, didn't he just ask them about someone?Why did you suddenly swear?
No, according to what they said, could it be that the man named Su Li has something to do with Xiao Zimo!
"Be honest and explain clearly, what is the relationship between you and Su Li?" Wu Bai smiled and said seriously.
Zhao Chengnan gave Xiao Zimo a look of helplessness, and stopped talking.
Xiao Zimo coughed twice and explained: "He is the one I mentioned to you before, the person my parents want me to marry, the younger brother of the Minister of Rites."
"Oh, so it's him!" Wu Bai nodded.
Seeing that Wu Bai didn't look angry at all, Xiao Zimo was worried that the other party would keep his anger in his heart, which would be bad for his health, so he comforted him: "Brother Bai, don't be like this, if you are angry, just speak out, you scold me!" me!"
"Or you can hit me." Xiao Zimo grabbed Wu Bai's hand and beat him on his chest.
Wu Bai was about to laugh angrily at him, withdrew his hand, and said angrily: "I'm really not angry, just like what your cousin said, I believe you will only marry me, and never marry anyone else. "Besides, even if you want to marry, you won't be able to. Su Li won't marry you at all. In the end, he married General Yu Hongyi. Even if Su Li married a small official halfway, that person made it clear Not you either!
Speaking of that little official, Wu Bai sympathized with him at the beginning, but he also sympathizes with him now, but the book he saw in the space did not describe much about that little official. It describes that the other party is on duty in the Imperial Academy, the official position is not high, there is only one mother and father in the family, and the others are not explained in detail, not even a name, which makes Wu Bai want to remind the other party in advance, but he can't do it .
In desperation, Wu Bai sighed.
"Brother, aren't you not angry? Why are you sighing again?" Zhao Chengnan asked.
"I just think it's a pity that an innocent person will be killed in the future."
"What's the pity? Brother, tell me who is going to be killed. Let's go and inform the other party." Zhao Chengnan replied.
"The problem is that I don't even know the other person's name or what he looks like, so it's a little difficult to deal with."
"It's not easy, brother, you tell me the characteristics of the other party, and I will keep it for you to find that person." Zhao Chengnan patted his chest and said to himself.
Xiao Zimo on the side also nodded in agreement.
"I only know that the other party should be on duty in the Imperial Academy. There is only one mother and father in the family. The family background is clean, the kind that can be manipulated by others. He should be around 20 years old. He should not be married yet. That's all." Wu Bai told himself speak out.
"There's so much information, just those people from the Imperial Academy. Don't worry, I'll find out soon." Zhao Chengnan said it's not a big deal, it's simple!
......
In the days that followed, Xiao Zimo often asked Wu Bai to go out for fun.
On this day, the two of them agreed to go on a boat trip by the lake.
The two sat on the boat, drank tea, and chatted. Recently, Wu Bai was very interested in Xiao Zimo's jade wares, so at this moment, he asked Xiao Zimo to give him some identification methods about jade wares.
While talking, Wu Bai suddenly felt a sharp gaze. He followed the gaze and found a little brother looking at him angrily.
Wu Bai was a little puzzled, and he didn't offend him, suddenly he remembered something, and asked Xiao Zimo: "Do you recognize the little brother on the opposite boat?"
Xiao Zimo turned his head and looked, he really wanted to say that he didn't know each other, he didn't know a few little brothers in total, but he really knew this little brother, because the other party had been to his house and was invited by his mother and father He was a guest at home.
But where is it really a guest, it's not just to show him a marriage partner.
Seeing that Xiao Zimo hadn't spoken for a while, Wu Bai teased, "So, do you really know each other?"
"Well, he is Su Li who I mentioned to you before, the younger brother of the Minister of Rites." Xiao Zimo said helplessly.
"I said, why does he look like he wants to eat me, so it's because of you!" Wu Bai laughed.
"Boatman, row to the right!" Xiao Zimo told the boatman, and then said to Wu Bai: "Let's go to the right and have a look, the scenery there is also very good, Cheng Nan mentioned it to me before. "
Seeing this, Wu Bai did not expose him, and acquiesced.
On the other hand, Su Li on the other boat was in a hurry. He didn't expect Xiao Zimo to take another little brother to swim in the lake while the two families were looking at each other. After driving him away, the other party asked the ship to change direction.
So he also asked the boatman to change direction and follow the boat.
Su Li has been following the boat not far or near. He watched Xiao Zimo bring tea and water to Wu Bai, taking care of a considerate person, and his heart was even more panicked.
In the evening, after Xiao Zimo sent Wu Bai back to the inn, he returned to his home.
As soon as he entered the mansion, he heard a summons from his servants, saying that it was his master and Laojun who were looking for him.
Helpless, he had to go to his parents.
"What do you want from me?" Xiao Zimo asked directly.
"I heard that you went to swim in the lake with a little brother today?" Xiao Zimo's mother and father said indifferently.
"How do you know? Could it be that you have bought another young man next to me? Tell me, who is the one who bought this time, and I will transfer him to you directly, so that I don't have to wait until I find out by myself. They don't even look good!" Xiao Zimo said with a sarcasm on his face.
Hearing the words, the Xiao family's husband and wife were stunned. They really wanted to buy them off, but the person who bought them off was discovered by their son, and they lost their temper at home. After a beating, he was sold off, and now these young servants in the mansion have tightened their skins, and they can't buy him at all.
"It's not the boy in the mansion, it was the Su family who sent someone to tell us that our family was discussing marriage with the Su family, but you took a little brother to swim in the lake, and was seen by the Su family, you Tell me about you, what kind of talk is that!" Father Xiao looked as if he hated iron but steel.
"Hmph, I told you a long time ago that I won't marry the younger brother of the Su family. If they see it, they will see it!" Xiao Zimo said firmly.
"Then who do you want to marry! The little brother who went swimming with you today?" Xiao Zimo's mother and father were a little angry.
Xiao Zimo just hummed and stopped talking.
Although he didn't speak, the Xiao family couple still saw a trace of shyness on Xiao Zimo's face, which frightened the Xiao family couple. The two of them had never seen their son like this before. .
After Xiao Zimo left, the couple discussed whether they would not marry the Su family. Anyway, the son now has someone he likes and is willing to marry him, so why don't they satisfy his son's wishes? , They can also hug their grandchildren as soon as possible, and they don't have to covet the grandchildren of the second and third bedrooms.
They did it when they thought of it, and the next day, they sent someone to inquire about Wu Bai first, wanting to know which family the other party was from, but they were able to impress the wooden son of his family.
But unfortunately, the results they heard were not satisfactory. The other party turned out to be just a country boy, and this time he came to the capital with his second brother and his wife, because his second brother was going to take the Qiuwei exam this year.
Not to mention whether his second elder brother could pass the exam this year, even if he could, he would only be a small official in the Imperial Academy in the future, and he would not be a good match for his son at all.
Don't say that their Xiao family is just a merchant family. You must know that Xiao's father's younger brother is Xiao Guijun, who has a strong family, and there is a fifth prince under his knees. Comparable, if the fifth prince is lucky enough to reach the summit in the future, their family's glory will be more than that. Otherwise, why would the Minister of Rites want to propose marriage to his family?
Of course, what worries them even more is that Wu Bai, a little brother who has only entered Beijing for a short time, has easily confused their son Xiao Zimo, which has to make them awe of Wu Bai. If the other party entered the mansion, wouldn't his son be tightly controlled by Wu Bai? By that time, the couple would no longer have the place to talk to each other in the family.
After some discussion, the two of them decided not to let Wu Bai in.
So the husband and wife sent the servants around to send a letter to Wu Bai, saying that they wanted to see him.
After Wu Bai received the letter, he also guessed what the other party was going to say to him, but he didn't worry about such a scene at all, it was a trivial matter to him, so he went to the restaurant mentioned in the letter the next day as promised .
Unexpectedly, when he passed the restaurant counter, he ran into Zhao Chengnan.
Zhao Chengnan was also surprised to see him, and seeing that Wu Bai didn't follow his cousin, he felt a little strange, so he stopped him and asked: "Brother, why did you come to the restaurant alone, and your cousin didn't accompany you? "
Wu Bai didn't want to reveal to Zhao Chengnan that the Xiao family couple wanted to see him, so he lied: "Your cousin booked a room upstairs, and I'm going upstairs to meet him! Why, you want to meet him together him?"
Zhao Chengnan thought of his cousin's black face, and instantly didn't want to see him. He quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, I won't go. I have something to do and I'll go first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Chengnan ran out of the restaurant with oil on the soles of his feet.
After he left the restaurant, he breathed a sigh of relief, and when he was about to go back home, he suddenly felt that something was wrong?
ah!I remembered!My cousin usually goes directly to the inn to pick up my brother, why would I let my brother come to the restaurant by himself!So brother just lied!
But why did brother lie to himself?
Could it be that something happened to my brother?
No, I have to keep an eye on it. If something happens to my brother, my cousin will definitely not let me go!
Yes, it is like that!
So Zhao Chengnan went back to the restaurant again, asked the waiter where Wu Bai was, quietly came to the door, put his ear on the door, and wanted to hear what Wu Bai was doing?
Hearing Wu Bai ask the name, Xiao Zimo's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't answer right away.
On the contrary, Zhao Chengnan glanced at his cousin first, and then said to Wu Bai: "Brother, have you heard something about my cousin, but you have to trust my cousin, I can assure you, he The one he likes is definitely you, and he will not marry anyone else, if you don’t believe me, ask your cousin to swear to you?” Cousin, I can only help you with this.
