Chapter 2040 Wu'er's Marriage Discussion (1)

In June, Mu Chongwen and Yanran's wedding was held smoothly. Mu Zhongqing and Du Shi were finally promoted to father-in-law and mother-in-law. Seeing that they could have grandchildren, the couple was so happy that they allocated several courtyards on the east road of the mansion to Wen'er and his wife. One was for them to live in now, and the rest were for their unborn grandchildren. Wu'er, who originally lived in the east courtyard, was also ruthlessly driven to live in the west courtyard.

After his parents gave such an order, Wu'er went there happily. He was an easy-going person and didn't care much about anything. However, Li Sheng, who had been pestering him, was an exception.

That guy couldn't afford to live anymore, so he simply broke the jar and ran to Yingtian Prefecture with two invalid house deeds to sue Chongwu's fur shop, saying that the fur shop was originally his property and was taken away by someone.

Chongwu was afraid that his parents would know about his business, so he was the shopkeeper behind the scenes. The prefect of Yingtian Prefecture didn't know the whole story, so he actually sent someone to arrest the shopkeeper of the fur shop to confront him.

Chongwu was not convenient to show up, but it didn't mean he didn't speak. Therefore, a letter with his seal was sent to the court. After seeing it, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture immediately closed the case.

Li Sheng used the invalid house deeds to extort money, falsely accused others, and teased the court officials. He was punished for multiple crimes. After a beating like snowflakes, Li Sheng was beaten unconscious and couldn't even scream. He was dragged out by two yamen runners like a dead dog and thrown into the street...

Chongwu was very satisfied with this, but he was a kind man and didn't beat the dog when he was down. Although Li Sheng had been nagging him a lot during this period, since he had been punished, Chongwen didn't retaliate against him, but went to a more famous restaurant for dinner leisurely.

In the summer, the afternoon breeze was gentle and quiet, and people were lazy and tired. He sat in the box, drinking slowly, and suddenly a lingering sound of a zither came, awakening his mind. He stood up and looked out the window, and saw a girl covered in gauze sitting in the lobby playing the zither. The song "Linjiang Fu" actually brought out the unyielding state of fighting against the waves and advancing bravely.

This song was composed by Li Shangzhi, the prime minister of the previous dynasty. Li Shangzhi was born in a humble family and was a disciple of the gentry. After he entered the officialdom, he was full of knowledge but no one recognized him. He was demoted and served as a county magistrate. His life was full of ups and downs, and quite legendary. This piece of music was composed when he was demoted and sailed south. He looked at the north bank of the river after landing on the south bank. At that time, he wrote a poem "Linjiang Fu". The music was composed later. The artistic conception can be heard from the sorrow of leaving the north bank of the river, the hearty feeling of the river wind and waves washing people's hearts, the relief and calmness after washing, and the unyielding vigor of fighting for the current. The whole piano music inspires people to go against the current and is the favorite of scholars.

He had never heard a woman play this song, and he didn't expect that there would be a woman in the world who could play the artistic conception of this song. The wonderful artistic conception of the song reminded him of the ups and downs of Li Shangzhi's life, as if he was there.

After playing the song, he was still in that artistic conception and didn't come back to his mind. Suddenly, he heard a noise coming from downstairs. When he looked closely, it turned out that several dandy young men wanted to toast the woman who played the piano.

The woman covered her face with a veil, indicating that she was a decent girl, and it was inconvenient for her to show her face, let alone drink with a man. So, the woman politely refused.

But those spoiled boys started to shout: "Hey, you ignorant little bitch, I toast you because I think highly of you, but you dare not drink the toast and give me face. I'm telling you honestly, drink it up if you know what's good for you, and I'll reward you heavily. If you just hold it up and don't give me face, be careful that I don't know how to cherish women and will force you to drink it down!"

Chongwu frowned. He knew these spoiled boys downstairs. They were all sons of the big families in Beijing, but they were not very capable. They only ate, drank, gambled, and bullied men and women every day. He hadn't seen them do anything serious in the past few years.
