It was already daybreak. Fourth Master Hu looked at the large group of soldiers and horses coming from the gate of the Hu family's courtyard, as well as the boxes and cages tied with bright red silk. His face turned purple, and his expression changed several times. He forced a smile towards the leader. He cupped his fists and said, "Jin Zhou Mu, Hu is stupid and doesn't know Zhou Mu... what does this mean?" He looked at the boxes and cages. Kim Changguo, the shepherd of Kishu Prefecture, was wearing a Hu suit with brilliant gold threads. He was sitting in a Hu chair with lifting poles on all sides. He was casually lowering his eyes and looking at the ring with ruby on his index finger. Turn lightly. Hearing Fourth Master Hu's question, he lightly raised his eyelids and replied with a smile, "It's in front of you, Brother Hu...oh no, it should be the father-in-law, so why pretend to be confused. These are naturally betrothal gifts. Today, I, I am here to propose marriage to your twelve mothers." No one thought that he would choose this time to come to the door with a betrothal gift, and no one thought that he would directly bring up the matter in front of everyone. Hu Jinyue's face changed with shock, and the hand holding Fourth Master Hu couldn't help but tremble slightly. Fourth Master Hu could barely hold on, but his expression was not good-looking, "Zhou Mu was joking, my wife passed away less than a year ago..." "It's a joke, you and I are both barbarians, so why should we abide by the stinky rules of the Han people? Besides, I came to propose marriage at this time because I love my wife. I met your twelve mothers before and she liked her very much. , before she left, she held my hand and told her again and again. After she left, she asked me to welcome Madam Hu Twelfth into the house. This is Madam’s last wish, and I must fulfill it no matter what!" "No, I heard that my father-in-law was going to betroth my twelve mothers to someone else. I couldn't sit still no matter what. I didn't care about being rude, so I immediately brought a betrothal gift to your door and asked your twelve mothers to be my wife. , the float has also arrived. We are all barbarians, so we don’t need to be so pretentious as the Han people. Please invite Twelve Niangs to come with me today. Don’t worry, father-in-law, I will treat Twelve Niangs well." At this time, the sky was bright. Fourth Master Hu and Hu Jinyue looked up and saw a carriage tied with colorful silk behind the dark soldiers. When they heard his words again, the faces of the Hu family's father and daughter changed drastically. He looked like this. Not only did he plan to propose marriage, he also planned to rob Hu Jinyue directly today. "Atta..." Hu Jinyue's face turned pale, and she pinched Fourth Master Hu's wrist tightly with one hand.
Jin Changguo squinted his eyes to the side, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you help Madam get in the car?" "Yes!" Two thick-shouldered Hu women came forward in response. "Atta!" Hu Jinyue screamed and shrank behind Fourth Master Hu. "Jinzhou Mu, what are you doing? There is no reason to marry by force like you. Although my Hu family is a merchant, we still have rules. There is absolutely no reason to wrong my daughter like this." Fourth Master Hu protected his daughter while , while roaring quickly. Inside the door, Mingyi heard something was wrong and couldn't stay any longer. She turned her toes outward and said, "I'll go!" Xue Lin reached out beside him and held her wrist through his sleeves. He looked deeply at her with a pair of black eyes, "Stay well. I'm here, so why do you need to step forward?" "But if you go out, he will definitely reveal your identity in public." Jin Changguo wanted to keep Hu Jinyue at this time, but he was so strong that he was bound to win. I am afraid he will not be kind today. Unless Xue Lin reveals his identity, what's the point of hiding their identity? Of course, it would have been possible if Jin Changguo hadn't revealed Xue Lin's identity. In his eyes, which one was more important, revealing Xue Lin's true identity as Master Rong or getting Hu Jinyue. The same is true for Xue Lin. No matter how you look at it, it's a dead end. "You and I are husband and wife. What difference does it make if you and I go out? How can there be so many ways to have the best of both worlds in this world? There must be a choice." Although Mingyi said nothing, Xue Lin seemed to follow her You could even see the sadness between the deep frowns. When he said softly, he couldn't help but raised his hand and gently stroked the crease between Mingyi's eyebrows. Mingyi stiffened subconsciously, and her expression changed accordingly, but Xue Lin only touched her, and he had already moved his hand away before she had a bigger reaction. Mingyi looked up at him blankly. One coincidence was a coincidence, but two, three, and so many times were certainly not. He left her at the touch of a button so many times, and he only held her through his sleeves so many times... Mingyi His heart felt heavy, did he already know? She should have known, he was so sharp, how long could she keep it a secret? She just deceived herself, thinking that he didn't ask or say anything, so she didn't know. She didn't know that she was the stupid person who was hiding her ears. Xue Lin didn't know what was going on in her heart. Listening to the movement outside the door, he frowned and said without further delay, "I'm going out." Leaving this sentence behind, he released the hand from her wrist. , turned around and left neatly. "Don't worry, father-in-law, I also love Madam Zhong, so I came here to ask for her hand in marriage at this time. I will not salute you immediately when I bring Madam back home. I just want to cultivate a good relationship with her. On the day of the wedding, I will definitely be in great glory." Do it, I will definitely not wrong her, father-in-law, you can rest assured!" Jin Changguo said, waving his hands, and the two Hu women did not hesitate and reached out to grab her. The Hu family's father and daughter immediately started fighting with the two Hu women. "What are you doing?" A cold voice sounded, but it carried an aura of calmness and authority. The Hu family father and daughter couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, and the two Hu women seemed to be shocked and stopped. Jin Changguo raised his eyes and looked over, and saw a man in a black robe striding out of the half-open door of the courtyard. He was strolling with his hands behind his hands, but he came towards him with a threatening look. However, the next moment, Jin Changguo squinted and said with a smile, "Who are you? Are you a guest of the Hu family?" After thinking about it, he smiled even more happily, "Looking at you, you are a Han. Why, do you want to be with me?" Why are you fighting for the twelfth mother of the Hu family?" Mingyi's brows furrowed when she heard this at the door. This Jin Changguo actually pretended to be confused and refused to recognize Xue Lin, which means he had made up his mind to keep the Hu Twelve Mother. But Xue Lin also said, people must be taken away! Mingyi pondered for a moment, gave the anxious Hu Qiniang a comforting look, turned on her heels, and turned away. When he came out of the door, he looked up and saw Xue Lin's back standing with his hands behind his back. The waist and back are tightened and the posture is relaxed.
"Jinzhou Mu!" Xue Lin didn't panic, but his tone dropped a bit, his eyebrows slightly raised, not showing off his authority, "If you look carefully again, do you really not recognize me as the governor?" In the vast Anxi, there is no one who dares to claim to be "the governor". Jin Changguo's face really showed a hint of surprise. He looked at Xue Lin intently, and after a moment he said in shock, "The governor? It's actually Xue Da. Governor? When did the Governor come to Jizhou? How come he didn’t even know how to greet me? I’m so sorry for not being able to welcome him from afar!" He said he was sorry, but he just moved forward slightly on the chair. He curled up and hugged Xue Lin, but never came down. What a big rack! Mingyi frowned lightly. Although she knew that Jin Changguo was a powerful person, she didn't expect him to be so perfunctory even in his superficial skills.
"Speaking of which, I only met the Grand Governor once. It was four years ago when the state pastors from various states came to Beiguan City to report on their duties. At that time, the Grand Governor was only leading the military affairs of Lanzhou. Later, he made rapid progress, and now The control over the fourteen prefectures of Anxi is really different from what it used to be. I was blind, so I didn’t recognize it. I hope the governor will not blame him!" (End of this chapter)
