Wu family

Wan Yasu was surprised: "What did you say? Dali Temple Shaoqing's parents came to visit Wufu?"

"Yes, ma'am." The servant replied.

"Invite people in quickly." Wan Yasu ordered.

Hearing the words, the servants quickly withdrew, and after a while, they walked in with Xiao's father and Xiao's mother.

"I don't know if Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao are here, it's a long way to welcome them." Wan Yasu greeted them politely.

Mother Xiao replied with a smile: "We came here uninvited, and I hope Mrs. Wu will not be offended."

Wan Yasu beckoned the two to sit down, and the servants brought tea with a wink.

"I don't know what the two of you are talking about when you come to the Wu Mansion?" Wan Yasu asked doubtfully.

Xiao's father glanced at Xiao's mother, and Xiao's mother took the initiative to say: "That's right, we heard that there is a young brother in the family who is of marriageable age."

"That's right." Wan Yasu nodded.

"Excuse me, but I wonder if I could invite you to come out and see?" Mother Xiao said.

"I'm sorry, Brother Bai is out of the house today and is not at home for the time being." Wan Yasu reluctantly refused.

Hearing this, Xiao's mother frowned, but she thought about it again, this little brother was introduced by a genius doctor, so she couldn't miss it so easily, she said again: "I wonder if Brother Bai's marriage is settled? If not, we Do you want to win one or two for your kid?"

Wan Yasu looked at them in surprise, and said in her heart: Wu Bai is really lucky to have such a good marriage. As far as she knows, there is only one son in these two families, and that is Shaoqing himself of Dali Temple. .

"Brother Bai's marriage has not yet been decided, but I have to ask his opinion on this matter before I can give you an answer." Wan Yasu said in a low voice.

"This important matter of marriage has always been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. How can Mrs. Wu let him decide by himself?" Xiao's mother was a little puzzled.

She had inquired before she came here that Mrs. Wu is Wu Honglang's stepmother, not Wu Bai's biological mother. Logically speaking, the other party should not take Wu Bai's opinion seriously. Asking Wu Bai's opinion, could it be that she wanted to manipulate Wu Bai's marriage, but she couldn't say no to herself, so she said such evasive words?

Wan Yasu said: "Mrs. Xiao's words are reasonable, but the marriage between the two families achieves the best of both worlds. I always ask the child's opinion. If he agrees to this marriage, the two children will live happily ever after. some."

Mother Xiao nodded and said, "In that case, let's wait for the good news."

Mrs. Wu spoke beautifully, and Xiao's mother couldn't expose the other party's lies, so she had to agree.

On the street, Xiao Zimo led Xiao Dahai out of the bookstore.

Just when he was about to continue walking, the waiter from a nearby teahouse ran up to him and stopped him.

"My lord, someone invites you to drink tea." The waiter pointed to his own teahouse and said.

Xiao Zimo hesitated for a moment, followed the waiter into the store, and the waiter led him upstairs.

The three of them stopped outside a private room, the waiter opened the door and said, "Young master, please come inside."

"My lord, I'll go in and take a look." Xiao Dahai volunteered.

"No need." Xiao Zimo waved his hand.

After speaking, he walked in first, followed by Xiao Dahai. After they entered, the waiter closed the door and went downstairs.

The two of Xiao Zimo passed through the screen, only to see a little brother with bright eyes and bright teeth sitting inside.

Seeing this little brother, Xiao Zimo inexplicably felt that the other party was a little familiar, but he was sure that he had never met the other party.

"Young Master Xiao, please sit down." Wu Bai raised his hand and said.

"I don't know who the young master is, how do I call him?" Xiao Zimo cupped his hands.

"My surname is Wu and my name is Bai. I'm the younger brother of the general judge of the capital." Wu Bai introduced.

"It's you? You are the younger brother of the Wu family, the general judge of the capital?" Xiao Zimo was surprised.

Wu Bai nodded and said, "It's me."

Xiao Zimo inquired: "I don't know what is the relationship between my little brother and Doctor Bai?"

"I thought Master Xiao should be able to guess." Wu Bai blinked at him.

"It's you!" Xiao Zimo stood up from his chair with a bang, and looked at Wu Bai in disbelief.

"That's right, it's me, Mr. Xiao must have seen the letter I sent you?" Wu Bai asked.

"Yes, I saw it." Xiao Zimo said nah.

Wu Bai got up, walked towards Xiao Zimo slowly, parted his thin lips slightly, and said with a smile: "Master Xiao once promised to do me a favor, I don't know if Master Xiao is willing to help me with this favor?"

Looking at Wu Bai who was getting closer and closer, and thinking of what Wu Bai wrote in his letter, Xiao Zimo's face turned red suddenly, his voice was hoarse, and he was speechless for a long time.

"Lord Xiao seems to have regretted it, that's all, just pretend I didn't mention this!" Wu Bai turned around with a face full of disappointment.

Xiao Zimo involuntarily grabbed his hand and said, "I am willing."

Wu Bai turned to look at him with a smile all over his face, and asked with sparkling eyes, "Really?"

"...Mmm." Xiao Zimo nodded helplessly.

Xiao Dahai next to him didn't understand what kind of riddle they were playing, he asked, "Master, when did you meet this little brother?"

Xiao Zimo returned to his senses and said, "I met some time ago, and you happened to be away at that time."

"Oh, that's right!" Xiao Dahai nodded, without continuing to ask.

Next, Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo started to play in the capital. At noon, they found a restaurant for lunch, and then Wu Bai told Xiao Zimo about the group of men in black.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Zimo looked at Wu Bai worriedly.

"I'm fine, they are all locked up in the cave on the mountain by me now, you take someone to bring them back!" Wu Bai waved his hand.

Xiao Zimo nodded and said, "Okay." Then he left the restaurant, went to Dali Temple to bring his men together, and then successfully found the assassins in the cave according to the address Wu Bai gave, and brought them all back to Dali Temple to lock them up.

Wu Bai walked into Wu's mansion with a bunch of candied haws.

Seeing him coming back, Wan Yasu hurried over.

"Brother Bai, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."

Wu Bai stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Today someone came to propose marriage to you, I..."

"Push it for me!" Wu Bai finished speaking casually and was about to leave, but he stopped again when he thought of the letter he sent to Xiao Zimo yesterday, and continued to ask: "Who is here? Who are you proposing marriage to?"

Wan Yasu was a little uncertain about Wu Bai's meaning, but she still said truthfully: "It's the parents of Master Xiao, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and they came to propose marriage to you for Master Xiao."

"It's them?" Wu Bai's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Then agree!"

"Ah?" Wan Yasu asked in surprise, "You agree?"

"Yes, Mr. Xiao is young and promising, it's not a loss to marry him." Wu Bai nodded.

"That's true." Wan Yasu agreed.

"By the way, you seem to be taking care of my mother's dowry, right? You sort out those things some other day and show them to me." Wu Bai ordered.

Hearing this, Wan Yasu's complexion changed slightly, she hesitated and said: "Brother Bai, after so many years, some things in your mother's dowry may not be found."

"Can't find it?" Wu Bai frowned, and said, "They don't have long legs, they can't run, how could they not find it? Forget it, if you can't find it, you can fold it into silver and add it in."

"...Yes." Wan Yasu gritted her teeth and agreed.

"If you satisfy me with my marriage, I'll give you the antidote so that you don't have to suffer from poison in the future." Wu Bai is well versed in the principle of giving a candied haws with a stick.

As soon as these words came out, all the distortions on Wan Yasu's face dissipated, and she asked happily: "Is what you said true?"

"Of course it's true." After finishing speaking, Wu Bai bit the candied haws in his hand and left here.

Wan Yasu stood there for a while, then she turned and told the servant girl, "Go to the Xiao Mansion now and tell Mrs. Xiao that the Wu Mansion has agreed to this marriage, and let them come to propose marriage as soon as possible."

The servant girl blessed herself slightly and said, "Yes, ma'am."

Xiao Mansion

After Xiao Zimo finished dealing with the assassins, he returned to the mansion again. When Xiao's father and Xiao mother learned that he was back, they walked towards him with a happy face.

"Zimo, mother told you about the marriage today, and he just sent someone to reply, saying that he agreed." Mother Xiao said cheerfully.

"What?" Xiao Zimo's face changed drastically, and he asked quickly, "Mother, which one are you talking about?"

"It's the little brother from the Wu family that the genius doctor introduced to you." Mother Xiao said truthfully.

"That's good." Xiao Zimo secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Your father and I are waiting for you to come back. Look, these three days are auspicious days. When do you think it is better to set the wedding?" Mother Xiao discussed.

"Which three days?" Xiao Zimo asked.

"The closest day to now is the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, but this is a bit rushed. There is only one month to prepare for your wedding, and a little further will be the [-]th of February next year. This day is also an auspicious day, and there is plenty of time. It's time to prepare for your wedding, and next May [-]th..." Mother Xiao said eloquently.

"Let's choose the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month!" Xiao Zimo said.

"Is this too hasty?" Mother Xiao hesitated.

Father Xiao made a final decision: "Since Zimo thinks the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month is good, then choose this day!"

"Okay then, I'll go to the dental shop tomorrow to buy a few more servants, and speed up the preparations for the marriage." Mother Xiao agreed.

"Thank you, Mom and Dad, for taking your troubles." Xiao Zimo cupped his hands.

In the twinkling of an eye, half a month later, the Xiao Mansion and the Wu Mansion were all hung up with red lanterns and red silk.

When Wu Honglang went to the Yamen these two days, he always had a smile on his face.

His colleague asked: "Master Wu, what happened to make you so happy recently?"

"Hahaha, my little brother is going to get married in half a month. If you have time, come and have a wedding!" Wu Honglang explained with a laugh.

"Of course, when the time comes, I will definitely come to enjoy Mr. Wu's happiness. I wonder which family this marriage is talking about?" The colleague continued to ask.

"It's Master Xiao, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple." Wu Honglang said with a smile on his face.

As soon as these words came out, the colleagues were stunned.

"Hey! But Lord Xiao himself?" asked the colleague.

"Exactly." Wu Honglang nodded with a smile on his face.

The colleague immediately complimented: "Congratulations to Mr. Wu, you actually found a son-in-law like Mr. Xiao. If Mr. Wu is promoted in the future, don't forget us!"

Wu Honglang said with a red face: "It's easy to say, easy to say."

"Master Xiao just made great achievements not long ago, he must be promoted again."

"That's right, Duke Qi is too courageous. When he found a silver mine, he didn't even report it to the court, and even sent someone to mine it privately."

"It's all right now, the century-old foundation of the Duke of Qi's mansion has now been destroyed."

"I heard that he even sent people to chase and kill Lord Xiao. Fortunately, Lord Xiao was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe and successfully presented the evidence to His Majesty."

Wu Honglang agreed: "Fortunately, Duke Qi's subordinates did not succeed in hunting down, otherwise my good brother and son-in-law would be gone."
