Chapter 74 Peach's Dilemma
After a few more days of recuperation, Chen Nuo went back to Jialan College to study.
Regarding Wang Shi, she did not reconcile with Qu Enliang, not because she was thinking about the old relationship, but after Li Shi and Qu Enliang discussed it, she felt that after Cuizhu's death, she would suddenly reconcile with Wang Shi after Cuizhu's death. The person behind who wanted to murder Qu Moting was another person.
But it is impossible for Mrs. Wang to continue to be her wife of the Qu family comfortably. Mrs. Li rearranged a small courtyard for her, let her stay in it to eat fast and chant Buddha, and all the people around her were changed. All the people rushed to Zhuangzi.
Nurse Yan and Nurse Zhou already knew that Qu Mo Ting was not perfect, and Mrs. Li asked them to serve Mrs. Wang. Although the food and clothing were the same as in the past, they completely cut off contact with the outside world.
Chen Nuo watched Mrs. Li complete a series of arrangements, and said to Qu Moting, "Xiao Ting, grandma's method is clean and merciful, you should remember it firmly."
"Is brother asking Ting'er to learn from grandma?"
Chen Nuo thought for a while and said, "It depends on the situation. If you have the right to make the decision, you can do this. If you are walking on the edge of a cliff or on a single-plank bridge, you should learn to be more ruthless."
Qu Moting looked at Chen Nuo half-understood, Chen Nuo suddenly smiled and said, "It's fine if you don't know how to learn, I'm supposed to protect you since I took the brother's position."
Qu Moting blushed slightly, "I'm supposed to belong to my elder brother, but I want you to take care of me everywhere."
"It's okay, I take care of you now, maybe you will take care of me in the future?"
In fact, Chen Nuo would rather be an older brother. After all, he has lived for nearly 30 years, but he can't call a 16-year-old boy an older brother calmly.
Jialan Academy is still very peaceful, Chen Nuo has only left the academy for a few days, but it seems like a long time has passed.
Chen Nuo walked into the classroom, saw Wu Tao but found that his expression was sluggish, and he couldn't lift his spirits. Chen Nuo smiled and asked, "What's wrong with you, have you lost your relationship?"
As soon as Wu Tao saw Chen Nuo, his eyes turned red immediately, and he was so wronged that he could hang an oil pot with his mouth pouted, Qi Qi Ai said: "Xiao Huai, what should I do, woo woo woo..."
"Oh, don't cry, what's the trouble?"
Wu Tao is not in the mood to go to class at all now, so he dragged Chen Nuo to escape before Mr. Xu came. Chen Nuo was full of doubts, and followed Wu Tao all the way to an empty gazebo in Lanyuan.
At this time, there are many snow-white jasmine flowers blooming in the orchid garden, and the faint fragrance of the flowers is refreshing.
Wu Tao pulled Chen Nuo to sit down on the bench in the gazebo, and cried, "Xiao Huai, grandma wants me to marry Prime Minister Gao's grandson, but I don't want to."
"Taozi, which grandson is Prime Minister Gao?" Chen Nuo asked nervously.
"It's the one whose nickname is Xiao Qi, who seems to be called Gao Min or something?"
Chen Nuo was shocked, it couldn't be such a coincidence! ?Wasn't that wretched fat man he met at Chunmanlou last time Gao Min?
"Xiao Huai, what should I do? Huh huh..."
"Has this matter been settled?" Chen Nuo lightly embraced Wu Tao's shoulders, feeling that life is like a play, it's so funny.
Wu Tao shook his head and said, "Not yet, it was my grandmother who told me in private that the Gao family intended to have this marriage."
"Taozi, that Gao Min is definitely not a good match. I heard that he is not only ugly, but also often hangs around Qinlou Chuguan. He is definitely not a good candidate for a husband-in-law." Chen Nuo couldn't tell Wu Tao that he had been in Chunmanlou I met Gao Min before, and was molested by the other party.
Wu Tao said: "Well, I've heard about this too, but grandma said it's because he hasn't married yet. After a man gets married, it will be better if a wife takes care of him."
"Hehe, I don't know how many men can get better after marriage, but if you really marry in the past, you will definitely suffer a lot." Chen Nuo thinks that he understands the nature of men. After thinking about getting married and having a baby, he was hurt by women so many times, and he has a shadow in his heart, so when facing Li Ci's confession, he can still maintain his rationality. Li Ci certainly likes him now, but this love can How long will it last?
Anyway, love is a luxury, and it's not as good as making a little money.
"Xiao Huai, what should I do then?"
"Taozi, there are so many young talents in Zhaoye City, why did your grandmother like Gao Min?" This is simply unreasonable. Could it be that the princess owes the Gao family a large sum of money and plans to use Wu Tao to pay off the debt?
Wu Tao was silent suddenly. He looked at the jasmine flowers in the garden, and said quietly: "Grandmother said, the matter between me and my cousin of the Yang family has been known by many people, and they don't want to let a shameless brother like me marry in."
Wu Tao's eyes turned red all of a sudden, tears slowly rolled down, his small mouth was stubbornly closed.
Chen Nuo didn't expect this to be the reason, and how did the news spread?
Wu Tao seemed to have seen through the doubts in Chen Nuo's heart, and said with a tear in his voice, "It was my cousin Wu Jun who told his friends and told them that I was going to rob his husband, but since I learned that my cousin is going to reconcile with Tang After my brother got married, I never saw my cousin again, Xiao Huai, why did my cousin hurt me like that?"
"Are they married?" Chen Nuo asked in surprise.
"Well, cousin Wu Jun is pregnant with a baby, and the Yang family agreed that cousin should marry him."
Chen Nuo was made dizzy by some cousin, "They are really fast, but you can't let you marry that scumbag in Gaomin just because of this, what did your grandmother think, by the way, Tao Zi, You have been in the academy for so long, but have you ever met a man who you think is not bad?"
Wu Tao blinked, thought for a while but shook his head, "No."
"Why not? In the Imperial College, there are always some good-looking, well-educated, or gentle-tempered and courteous people who can pass it?" Chen Nuo also thought about it by the way, as if he knew the Imperial College There are really too few students. After thinking about it, there are only those four bullies.
Wu Tao frowned and said, "I used to only like my cousin, I didn't pay attention to other men."
"Hehe, you are so dedicated... Tao Zi, this is related to your life's happiness, can you discuss this matter with your friends, like Zhou Fen, who has a lot of connections, maybe he knows a good man who can be introduced to you? "Chen Nuo had a serious face, he felt uncomfortable just thinking of Tao Zi marrying a tall fat man, that's really white and tender Chinese cabbage being bullied by a pig.
Wu Tao felt uneasy, but still chose to trust Chen Nuo, and said, "Xiao Huai, I have no one else to discuss with, so please help me find a way, I will listen to you."
Chen Nuo immediately shook his head and denied, "No, this is a major event related to your life's happiness. You must learn to make up your own mind, and I can only provide you with some solutions. As for whether to do it or not, you must learn to do it yourself. Think, understand?"
Wu Tao nodded in a daze, "Xiao Huai, in the past, my grandmother and parents always told me to obey their orders, saying that they were right, and I just need to be obedient, but Xiao Huai, you are different, you are the first A person who taught me to learn to think for myself and make up my own mind, thank you, Xiao Huai."
"You're welcome, I can't help much..."
They still had classes in the morning, and they waited until after class. Chen Nuo took Wu Tao back to the No. [-] courtyard, and it happened that Zhou Fenfen and Zhu Yubao were also there.
He didn't see Xu Mubai, but he heard that he was called home by his servant.
"Taozi, are you okay?" Zhou Fenfen noticed that Wu Tao's eyes were very red and swollen, and then thought of the news he heard recently, and immediately guessed the reason.
Wu Tao smiled wryly, "Fenfen, do you also know?"
Zhou Fenfen said helplessly: "Who gave me a cousin who loves gossip?"
After listening for a long time, Zhu Yubao couldn't figure out what was going on, so he asked anxiously, "What's the matter? Are you playing charades?"
Chen Nuo told Zhu Yubao about Wu Tao, Zhu Yubao complained after hearing it: "How could Princess Pingzhao let your grandson marry a scum like Gao Min? Taozi, go tell your father about it. , just say that you don't want to marry, you want to recruit a son-in-law!"
"Hey, I almost forgot if you didn't tell me, baby, what happened between you and Lin Cang?"
Zhu Yubao didn't mind Chen Nuo asking about his marriage in front of Wu Tao at all, instead he said proudly: "Everything went well, my father directly asked a matchmaker to go to Lin's mansion to propose marriage, originally Uncle Lin didn't agree with Lin Cang getting married, but Father promised him that in the future, he could choose one of Lin Cang's and mine's children he likes and record it in Lin Cang's name, and he also promised to give a dowry gift of 3 taels, and Uncle Lin agreed."
"Uh, you have even discussed how many children you will have in the future?" Chen Nuo was secretly speechless, Zhu Shangshu is really generous!
Zhu Yubao raised his chin and said proudly: "Well, I want to have more children, so that the Zhu family's wealth will not be inherited."
"Then what if they fight over the family property?" Chen Nuo teased him with a smile.
Zhu Yubao seemed to have really thought about this problem, and said seriously: "My parents have also mentioned this to me. The solution I have thought of so far is to let all the boys go to the examinations, and whoever is more knowledgeable will get more points. Or daughter, whoever marries well will give more dowry, but they must help each other..."
"That's all right, all right, I'll wait for your wedding wine, hey, it looks like I'm going to prepare a lot of red envelopes for your big family in the future." Chen Nuo pretended to be distressed and stared at Zhu Yubao.
Zhu Yubao grinned, "Of course, my descendants of the Zhu family have never traded at a loss. Since Lin Cang has received so many betrothal gifts, he must not have more babies with me."
Chen Nuo was speechless for a while, feeling that Zhu Yubao regarded Lin Cang as a baby tool.
Wu Tao was envious when he heard it, but he still had doubts: "Is recruiting a son-in-law really that good? Baby, I heard they said that the Lin family has fallen, and Mr. Lin has no fame. He is the son of the uncle's mansion but he wants to show his face to do business. It's a lot of trouble." People can't see Mr. Lin clearly."
But Zhu Yubao didn't care and said, "It doesn't matter, Lin Cang is quick-witted, diligent and capable, filial to his father, and friendly to his younger siblings, which is already very good, and he can also sing. Didn't you all hear him sing that day? After we get married, I will definitely let him sing to me often."
Chen Nuo couldn't help smiling. Zhu Yubao was cheerful and optimistic by nature. Although he was a bit arrogant, he could find the shining points in others. Once he made up his mind, he would act immediately. He liked the bright and cheerful temperament of the baby.
"Taozi, recruiting a son-in-law is also a good way. Remember, you are the one who wants to get married. Whether you will live well in the future is up to you. Instead of worrying too much about the feelings of others, it is better to take the initiative and seize the opportunity in front of you." and happiness."
Wu Tao looked at Chen Nuo thoughtfully, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
