Chapter 945 Proposing marriage or taking advantage?
The person who came had a smile on his face, was wearing a green robe, with jade on his waist. He had a slender and straight figure, and showed arrogance and sharpness in his movements.
Chu Tianshu looked familiar to this man and remembered that he was the third son of the nine sons of the lord of Tianshui City, Ling Xiao.
He endured the pain in his chest and reluctantly bowed his hands, "It turns out Mr. Ling has arrived, and Mr. Chu lost his composure, making you laugh."
Ling Xiao took a step closer, smiling broadly. He looked at Chu Tianshu calmly, but there was a hint of joking in his eyes, "Brother Chu, it looks like he suffered internal injuries. Could it be that he went out for training and was attacked by a ferocious beast or a gangster raided him?"
"It's just that. There is something wrong with the flow of Qi, just rest a little." Chu Tianshu looked bad and made the people in Tianshui City laugh.
The position of city lord of Tianshui City has been passed down for hundreds of years and has been managed by the Ling family for generations. Hundreds of years ago, the Ling family was originally a disciple of Wuji Mountain and was ordered to go down to the mountain to govern Tianshui City.
Today, although Tianshui City is under the control of the Ling family, it is still a subordinate city under Wuji Mountain.
The children of the Ling family have been practicing Taoism in Wuji Mountain since they were young. After they have completed their studies, they can go down the mountain to inherit the responsibility of the city lord and manage the affairs of Tianshui City.
“Brother Ling took the trouble to come to Kunwu. What’s the important thing?”
Tianshui is to the north of Wuji Mountain, and Kunwu is to the south of Wuji Mountain. The two cities are separated by a mountain. He must have something in mind when he comes over the mountain.
Chu Tianshu narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately thought of Tang Yue seizing the position of Young City Master. Tianshui City is a subordinate of Wuji Mountain, could it be that he came to help Tang Yue?
Ling Xiao closed her fan, clapped her palms, and smiled calmly: "It's no big deal. I came here specifically to pay homage to Miss Tang Er—oh, no, I should say the Young City Master."
He deliberately emphasized the word "Young City Lord" with a sarcastic tone.
Now it seems that even though Chu Tianshu tried his best to get married, nothing came of it.
Chu Tianshu couldn't help but feel his heart sink after hearing this. On the surface, there was no reason for Tianshui City to get involved in the fight in the city.
But if the two cities are married, Tianshui City can send powerful people from the clan to help Tang Yue.
The Ling family has an ancestor who was only half a step away from being promoted.
"I'm afraid Brother Ling came here with other plans." He suppressed the anger in his heart and his tone was slightly stiff.
"Brother Chu is serious. Our Ling family will not be able to attend the young city lord's succession ceremony in the future, so now is the time to send a replacement gift."
The other aristocratic families are probably waiting and watching, waiting for the dust to settle before giving gifts.
Giving gifts at this time obviously has bad intentions!
“Hmph.” There was no point in talking. Chu Tianshu threw off his sleeves and walked away, heading towards the West Mansion.
The situation is urgent and he can no longer take care of his beloved, so Xiaoqing and Xiaoai will be put aside for now.
Ling Xiao handed over the greeting card and gift, and asked the concierge to pass it on, asking for an audience.
When Tang Yue received the invitation, he felt strange. He didn’t see anyone from Tianshui City in the competition yesterday, and he just came today. Could it be that he came to make friends with her, the new city lord?
Although everything is complicated, social interaction is also the responsibility of the young city lord.
When people come from afar, she can’t refuse to see them.
"Please invite Mr. Ling to the front hall for tea."
There are no servants in the East Mansion, but there are handyman disciples who work with spiritual stones.
After a while, the handyman disciples led Ling Xiao and the others into the front hall to wait.
Ling Xiao sat down on the wooden chair on the right. The folding fan in his hand swayed slightly. He looked around the hall and thought it was okay.
Although the layout of Dongfu is simple, it has a unique elegance due to Shui Yingrou's careful management. The layout is open and gives off a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
Hot tea has been prepared on the table, and the fragrance of tea is lingering. The discipline of the handyman disciples is quite good.
I heard that the city lord of Kunwu City was very happy about his achievements and spent a huge amount of money to achieve one or two achievements.
But Shui Yingrou and Tang Yue's mother and daughter are good at running the household and are good at increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. Not to mention making up for Kunwu City's shortfall, there is still a surplus every year.
For such a virtuous woman, it would be nice to live in IKEA and help Kunwu take care of the chores in the future.
Just don’t let her get too complacent, try to gain power, and harm her husband.
Not long after, Tang Yue was wearing a simple and elegant green shirt, with light gauze covering her face. She had a capable temperament, and her movements were calm and firm.
Seeing this situation, Ling Xiao was a little unhappy. It seemed that he was too strong and he had to ask his elders to suppress him more.
When she saw Ling Xiao, she nodded slightly and said politely: "I have heard about Ling Xiao's name in Tianshui City for a long time, and I met him today. He is indeed well-deserved."
In fact, she had never seen this person, and she had forgotten it after hearing it before. .
I only remember the famous deeds of the Lord of Tianshui City. Ling Ji, the city lord, strongly believes in the saying that many children bring blessings. He thinks that if other people's families only have one or two sons, and his own family has more sons, isn't it better than them?
So he devoted himself to having children, married a wife and added dozens of concubines.
A monk has a hard time having children, and he wants a son. How can he have enough concubines with dozens of rooms?
So he raised hundreds of slightly talented female disciples, saying that he wanted to use the yin of women to reconcile the yang energy in Tianshui City, and the yin and yang were reconciled.
In fact, the way to reconcile yin and yang is for him to have children with his "female disciples".
However, he did not treat these female disciples harshly. He allowed them to practice as usual, distributed spiritual stone pills every month, and taught them Taoism.
Except for having to have children with the city lord, these women have a better life than the female disciples of some small sects.
Therefore, many female cultivators have the resources to become the female disciples of the city lord.
Because of his kindness, he did not suffer much criticism for this matter.
His nine sons were born through the hard work of hundreds of people.
The female nun who gives birth to a child will be given the position of "Mrs." and the support will be more abundant.
This Ling Xiao seems to be the son of "Mrs. Jiujiang".
Although Madam Jiujiang is not the principal wife, her name suggests that she has some power and status among the ladies, so she should be greeted with caution.
"Miss Tang Er is joking." Ling Xiao stood up and saw her figure clearly, and her heart moved.
The second young lady has such a charming figure, and her face must be good. You should also put in more effort.
A faint smile appeared on Tang Yue's face, "I wonder if Mr. Ling is here today. What's the important thing?"
Ling Xiao took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "The first thing Of course, I would like to congratulate Miss Tang on assuming the post of Young City Master.”
"The second thing is that my father, the Lord of Tianshui City, knows that city affairs are complicated and some people are dissatisfied, so he sent me here to see if I can do my best." His tone was meaningful.
He paused for a moment, closed the folding fan, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, "My Ling family and the Tang family have been close friends for generations. My mother came from Wuji Mountain, and our friendship is even deeper. Now, it is a close relationship. "It's a good time to form a marriage."
After hearing what he meant, Tang Yue couldn't help laughing. She had become the Young City Lord at this time, and he just came over. What's the use?
Tianshui City has a good plan and wants to make a big mistake, right?
Not to mention whether she is willing or not, the powerful experts from Tianshui City will come to take charge. From now on, will Kunwu belong to Tianshui or her Tang family?
After knowing the purpose of his visit, Tang Yue suddenly felt bored. He had a lot of things to do and did not want to engage in confrontation with him.
Holding the tea ceremony: "Mr. Ling, everything in Kunwu City is busy, and I have no plans to talk about marriage, engagement, marriage or falling in love."
"As for Kunwu, I can handle the affairs of my city so far, and there is no need to ask for help from outsiders."
"I accepted the gift from Tianshui City today, and I will come to express my gratitude in the future. However, the affairs of Kunwu City are complicated. "I'm sorry I don't have time to entertain you."
Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment. He had been favored since he was a child and had never heard such a direct rejection.
Moreover, he just walked in and said a few words, and was rejected. He couldn't believe what he heard.
"What you just said was that you directly rejected Tianshui City's marriage? Your mother was poisoned and unconscious, and your grandfather is missing. Do you really think you can secure Kunwu City by yourself?" He frowned. He frowned.
Tang Yue knew in his heart that this was something he couldn't understand, so he stood up and said coldly: "Even if my grandpa is not here now, his friends will stand behind me and will not let others bully me. , including Master Xu of Wuji Mountain. "
"I have lived with my grandpa on the main peak in the past few years. I often bother the Master and listen to his teachings. With this friendship, no matter what happens, the Master will be taken care of. He will not ignore it, such as the matter in Kunwu City."
She looked directly at Ling Xiao, "There is also the matter of my marriage. He will never let anyone forcefully marry me."
The person in front of me is just a golden elixir, and he is still confident in facing her as a Nascent Soul. Do you really think that as the son of the city lord, he can dominate the world?
She is still young as a city lord.
Cheng Xiao was angry, was he relying on the power of the leader of Wuji Mountain?
Before any more words could be said, a servant disciple came in and announced, "Young City Lord, the City Lord insists that I hand this letter into your hands. I dare not disobey."
Tang Yue took the letter and said, "Master Ling, if you see that I have something to do here, I won't accompany you anymore. Please."
Mr. Ling snorted coldly and left.
Tang Yue was afraid that he would cause trouble in the city, so he told his adoptive father and Master Ruan about the matter, and asked them to talk to Mr. Ling.
Lest he feel unhappy and defect to Tang Wenhua.
