    Chapter 147

    Madam Du was angry and anxious, did he know what he was talking about? "Husband, what do you mean?"

    Du Shuai looked at the indifferent Mu Wanqing, and felt a little more satisfied, "Choose a daughter-in-law for Ze'er. The head of Qingping County is excellent in everything, and she is very suitable to be the mistress of our Du family."

    Mu Wanqing's ability and talent can support Du Mansion and Du Si Mansion.

    "Daughter-in-law is chosen by the mother-in-law..." Doing so was slapped Mrs. Du's face, implying that her vision was not good.

    Du Shuai really did not trust Mrs. Du's ability and vision. She married into the Du family for so many years, and she didn't even clean up the backyard.

    This made him very disappointed.

    He will not intervene in the backyard, but the reality tells him that his wife has been used so thoroughly that he has not yet reacted.

    He remembered what his parents said at the time, and he still heard it.

    Parents have long said that love is nothing, the most important thing is fit.

    The hostess of Xiliang cannot be lacking in all means, ingenuity and ability, but his wife has nothing but kindness, generosity, gentleness and consideration.

    Marrying ordinary people and ordinary officials is fine, but marrying into the Du residence is not acceptable.

    However, the matter has come to this point, he can only help to make up for it.

    If the wife is not good, then find a shrewd and capable daughter-in-law to fill it.

    As soon as the daughter-in-law entered the door, let her take over everything and let Mrs. Du retire completely.

    "Without you."

    Mrs. Du has not found the man's dislike, "Husband, I can hold a grand banquet, invite all the noble ladies of Xiliang, and choose one with good looks..."

    She wants to choose a gentle and virtuous good woman she likes.

    They were discussing the marriage in public. One of the parties, Mu Wanqing, was extremely calm. She took out a bag of mung bean cake from nowhere and ate it slowly, like an unrelated person.

    Mrs. Mu was quite nervous at first, but seeing her daughter so calm... Forget it, she can't make up her mind.

    The other party was flushed, anxious and nervous, and secretly glanced at Mu Wanqing several times. "I don't want, father, mother, you don't have to worry about me, I have my own ideas."

    Knowing her son Mo Ruomu, Mrs. Du naturally saw that her son was interested in Mu Wanqing, but she strongly opposed it.

    Mu Wanqing was too assertive and capable, her son couldn't hold her back, and he might even be wronged.

    "Ze'er, you are the only male in the Du family, if there are three strengths and two weaknesses..."

    Du Shuai scolded coldly, "It's not bad luck to talk nonsense."

    Mrs. Du also knew that she had said something wrong, and it was good to understand some things in her heart. "I'm just saying, if it really doesn't work, choose two concubines to spread the branches first."

    She said this on purpose, to make Mu Wanqing retreat.

    However, as soon as her voice fell, everyone looked at her strangely, and she was a little uneasy. "What's wrong? What did I say wrong?"

    Du Shuai sighed silently. Back then, his parents opposed marriage, but now it's his wife's turn to oppose it, like a cycle of reincarnation.

    Du Shaoxuan couldn't help worrying, his mother was going too far, instead of helping him, he was holding him back.

    "I wish to have a single-minded person, the white head will not be separated, and I will only marry one wife in this life, and there will be no two colors."

    When he said this, he looked at Mu Wanqing without blinking, his expression extremely solemn.

    Everyone present saw the difference, and Mrs. Mu was speechless in shock.

    Mrs. Du couldn't help worrying, "Ze'er, you are not only the male of the Du family, but also the young commander of the Du family's army. It is your responsibility to have more children. The Du family needs many children."

    The more she was like this, the more aroused Du Shaoxuan's disgust, "Then, why don't you let your father take a few more concubines, and there is still time to have a few children."

    Madam Du exclaimed without hesitation, "How about that?"

    Yes, this is the famous double standard. The husband was not allowed to take a concubine, but he tried his best to give his son a woman.

    A trace of disappointment flashed in Du Shuai's eyes. He really regretted it a little.

    Du Shaoxuan was also very uncomfortable, "Wanqing, you didn't hear anything, just ignore it."

    Mu Wanqing didn't want to get involved in the first place, she could just watch the show on the side.

    However, Du Shuai asked, "Qingping County Lord, you haven't answered my words yet."

    The scene was silent, and everyone looked at Mu Wanqing.

    Mrs. Du wanted to speak, but Du Shuai glared back coldly.

    Mu Wanqing picked up a piece of mung bean cake and nibbled it slowly, then took a sip from the teacup, and when everyone was in a hurry, she spoke slowly.

    "Rather than being the hostess of Xiliang, it is better to be the highest political officer of Xiliang, formulate all policies and decide the future direction of Xiliang."

    She is not interested in marriage, nor does she want to completely bind herself to the Du family.

    Once married, she became the Du Mu family in other people's eyes, looking at the beautiful Du Mu's mistress, but she didn't even deserve to have her own name.

    Her achievements are no longer unique to her, but the achievements of the Du family.

    The world will only think that everything about her belongs to her husband's family.

    No matter how much credit she made, she was in the light of the Du family, it was the Du family who held her up, and it was the Du family who made her face, she couldn't tell at all.

    She doesn't want this!

    She wants to do something vigorous, wants everyone to see her existence, wants everyone to know her name, Mu Wanqing.

    It is not someone's wife, someone's mother, someone's daughter-in-law.

    She said bluntly, "Shuai Du, you are an expert in leading troops to fight, but people's livelihood is not very good, and I, on the contrary, have unparalleled talents in managing people's livelihood and building cities, and I am a once in a century. Wizards."

    Du Shuai was stunned, she really dared to speak, and she really dared to brag.

    "Bold." Madam Du was a little annoyed.

    However, Du Shaoxuan laughed, and the laughter was extremely happy, and the reactions of the family of three were completely different.

    Mu Qing looked over and raised her eyebrows, "What are you laughing at? Is there something wrong?"

    Du Shaoxuan gave her a thumbs up, "Yes, that's right, that's right, you are a genius in the sky, you are extremely talented in writing and martial arts, and you are unparalleled in the world. You are the light of Xiliang."

    He blows the rainbow fart wildly, and Du Shuai's flattering look makes Du Shuai invisible. Is this really his cold and proud son?

    Mu Wanqing's brows and eyes curved, and have to say, Du Shaoxuan is very good at complimenting people.

    Du Shaoxuan looked at Du Shuai and said softly, "Father, don't you really think about it? Otherwise, let her try it."

    He has many shortcomings, but has a huge advantage, inclusive atmosphere.

    He did not demean women, nor did he have the pedantic idea that women should not participate in politics.

    As long as it can convince him, he will respect it.

    This was also one of the foundations for him to get along well with Mu Wanqing.

    Du Shuai shook his head slightly, "There is no such rule."

    "Rules are made by people, and they are used to break them." Du Shaoxuan knew that Mu Wanqing wanted to be an official. She was not an official fan, but wanted to have a bigger platform to display her talents.

    "Father, ask yourself, if Mu Wanqing was a man, would you recruit him?"

    meeting! This was Du Shuai's first reaction, Mu Wanqing was indeed very talented.

    "But she's a woman, son. No matter how much I can fight, I can't beat those civil servants in the DPRK and China. I can't afford to offend her."

    Once the civil service groups are united, even the most amazing and brilliant characters will be smashed to dust.

    What's more, a military general like him would not dare to offend the ministers in the court easily.

    Those civil servants are too insidious, and they have a lot of hearts. Just getting him on military expenses is enough for him to drink a pot.

    Du Shaoxuan frowned slightly, but it was still right to attack the emperor and let the emperor make an decree.

    Mu Wanqing also thought about it, "Shuai Du, you say, if I bribe the emperor, will he give me an official job?"

    Du Shuai: ... She is not an ordinary dare to think! Take money? Are all geniuses so imaginative?

    He wanted to say no, but his words changed, "You can give it a try."

    Mu Wanqing's eyes were rolling, and she was very agile, "Well, a million is probably not enough, how about a million?"

    Everything has a price, including a person's conscience.

    Du Shuai: ...

    He's all excited, okay? Tens of millions, more than ten years of military spending in the Xiliang region.

    "Thank you for your generous donation last time, and I thank you on behalf of the soldiers in Xiliang." Du Shuai was very fond of her atmosphere, definitely not because she gave too much.

    "Is there anything you want?" This is a courtesy exchange.

    Mu Wanqing's eyes lit up, is there such a good thing? Not bad, Du Shuai is a very particular person.

    She pondered for a while, and there was. "I want a plaque written by Shuai Du, Mu's Academy and Mu's Kindergarten, I want two!"

    Not to mention the snack street, not to mention Shuimu Farm, but to mention these two, has her own deep meaning.

    Du Shuai never expected her to make such a request. This girl... will always exceed his expectations. She knows the world but not the world.

    "My words are not as beautiful as those of literati. You can ask the emperor for help and ask the ministers in the court to write one for you."

    Mu Wanqing rudely and categorically refused, "No, I don't know them, so it's better to ask for their words than the emperor's."

    "Besides, can the things I ask for can be bad? I have a good eye, and I have never missed a beat, so please help me write two."

    She patted her ass gently, and the always serious Du Shuai couldn't help showing a hint of a smile. Ordinary people praised him as a philistine, but Mu Wanqing praised him, um, smart people have vision.

    "Why don't you ask the emperor to write? He should give you this face."

    Mu Wanqing shook her head slightly, "I want to ask him for another thing."

    Du Shaoxuan looked at her with concern, "What's the matter?"

    Mu Wanqing's red lips curled slightly, and she spit out five clear words, "Marriage autonomy."

    The scene was silent, and Du Shaoxuan was stunned. In fact, she knew everything.

    Mrs. Mu snorted out of control, what is this poor child talking about?

    Mu Wanqing's face was sad, "I can't do anything about it, I'm too good, as time goes on, the light on my body becomes less and less cover, and sooner or later I will be stared at by a large number of people, I have to ask for it beforehand. Holy decree."

    Her boasting words and exaggerated expressions are extremely joyful, which makes people laugh.

    It was obvious that she refused to marry, but Du Shuai had no ill will towards her.

    "You might as well settle the marriage earlier, then no one will hit you, and you can do your business with peace of mind."

    Mu Wanqing said generously, "I haven't grown up yet, so I won't think about marriage until I turn eighteen."

    Du Shaoxuan asked anxiously, "Why eighteen years old?"

    Others would be ashamed to talk about their marriage, but Mu Wanqing talked very generously, like discussing a most ordinary thing.

    Anyway, as long as she's not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

    "I've read medical books. A woman's body is not mature until she is 18 years old. Early marriage is not good for her health. I am a person who cherishes my life."

    Du Shaoxuan was silent, it turned out that she was not rejecting him, but rejecting everyone, which made him feel a lot better, "Then you can get engaged."

    "No, I'm someone who does big things. Men will only hinder my speed in drawing my sword."

    Du Shaoxuan: ...? ? ?

    Du Shuai: ...! ! !

    When the wallflower's Mrs. Du looked suspicious of life, what did she hear?

    The capital, the imperial study of the imperial palace

    Du Shuai's memorial and letters were sent to the emperor's case. After he was busy with business, he opened the memorial and read it, "Huh?"

    "Father, what's the matter?" The prince looked concerned, Du Shuai was his uncle.

    The emperor looked very strange, "Someone donated two million silver to the government of Xiliang as military expenses in my name."

    Prince: ... strange things happen every year, and this year is the most.

    "Didn't say who?"

    The emperor shook his head slightly, picked up Du Shuai's letter next to him and opened it. There was also a letter inside, and the envelope was written by the emperor himself.

    Seeing this familiar tone, the emperor was stunned for a moment, Mu Wanqing?

    Isn't it Du Shaoxuan's business to help Mu Wanqing with private goods?Why did Du Shuai also do this?Is it...

    He opened Mu Wanqing's letter and smiled after reading it for a while. It was Mu Wanqing's usual style, brisk and easy-going.

    "As expected, it was donated by Mu Wanqing. She didn't keep any money from selling the waterwheel, she donated it all in Zhen's name. Her loyalty is commendable."

    I have to say that this coaxing emperor is very happy.

    The maid came in with a pile of memorials, "Your Majesty, these are the accusations by the imperial censor of Qingping County's smuggling of waterwheels to the enemy country, and the crime cannot be punished."

    The emperor and the prince looked at each other with complicated expressions. Is this just a coincidence?
