C52 It Was Actually a Beautiful Lady
"Weird, weird monster!" Ku Le's teeth were chattering and his screams were earth-shattering.
"What the f * ck!" Gongsun Xu looked at the monster that was chewing on a pile of jade-green branches. Even someone as calm as him couldn't help but curse and ask, "Where did this elephant come from?"
"Elephants?" Gongsun Rui covered her mouth and snickered, "This is called a long-nosed monster, not an elephant! Brother, you really have no experience! "
Liu Ninger, who was standing behind Gongsun Xu, lightly patted Gongsun Rui, blaming her for talking to her brother like that.
"Little sister Cui Er, where did this big guy come from?" Gongsun Xu was too lazy to argue with his sister, so he turned around and asked Le Cui Er.
The round-faced, large-eyed Le Cui Er said tenderly, "Big Brother Zi Min, I have a cousin who is trading with the barbarians in the far south. He was the one who sent me the gift."
"That cousin of yours is really a talent!" "Gongsun Xu was sincerely impressed. That guy dared to travel thousands of miles to do business with the South Vietnamese, and was also able to brainstorm an elephant to the north as a gift. Who wouldn't be considered a talent?
"That's right!" Le Cui Er nodded her head in agreement, puckered her lips and said: "Daddy often praises Brother Le Xiao, moreover, every time he praises little brother, he would scold little brother."
Gongsun Xu raised his head to take a look. A huge dome was built on top of his head with translucent cloth silk, completely covering the two-to-three-acre courtyard. There were still burning coals in the corners, seven or eight air vents in the walls, and large vats of warm water in the surroundings. No wonder this elephant was able to live so comfortably.
"This long-nosed monster won't eat people, right?" At this moment, Ku Le finally came back to his senses and asked while swallowing his saliva.
"Da Hui is very obedient, of course he doesn't eat people!" Gongsun Rui rolled her eyes at Ku Le and snorted coldly, "What a coward! "Watch!" He stepped forward and touched the elephant's long nose.
Da Hui! Gongsun Xu couldn't help rubbing his forehead. This was a really good name!
The elephant called Da Hui raised his long nose and lightly touched Gongsun Rui's face.
Gongsun Rui giggled and turned around to look at Ku Le. She looked like her nose was about to reach the sky, "See that? "Coward!"
Ku Le was stunned: "This big guy really doesn't eat people!"
"Aiya!" Gongsun Rui stomped her feet and shouted, "You're really annoying! Why is it that people always eat people when you open your mouth? "
Ku Le quickly shut his mouth. He didn't dare to anger this young miss.
Gongsun Xu suddenly reacted. He looked at Gongsun Rui in surprise and said, "Can't you blame this elephant for its long nose? Is Da Hui the interesting and novel thing you mentioned a while ago?" He remembered one time when he had almost bumped into Gongsun Rui, who was hurrying out of the house. His sister had said that she wanted to see Cui Er and see something new.
"That's right!" Gongsun Rui blinked, raised her eyebrows and chuckled: It's Da Hui! At that time, its hooves were injured. Cui'er, Ning'er and I personally wrapped it. "
"No wonder you are often away. You came to play at Uncle Le's house." Gongsun Xu was enlightened.
This was a normal sentence, but Gongsun Rui's face suddenly turned crimson as she looked down at her toes and stopped talking.
Yue Cui'er and Liu Ninger covered their mouths and snickered, looking at Gongsun Rui with a mischievous expression.
"Is there something I don't know?" Gongsun Xu asked Liu Ninger in surprise.
"Brother Xu, Rui Er."
"Don't say it!" Gongsun Rui jumped over and covered Liu Ninger's mouth.
"Ah! Pah! Pah! Pah!" Liu Ninger knocked her hand away and stomped her feet. You just touched Da Hui, and now you're trying to cover my mouth! "Damn it!"
"Hee hee, sorry." Gongsun Rui made a face and made a very unsincere apology.
Liu Ninger rolled her eyes, knowing that there was no point in arguing with her.
Gongsun Xu looked suspiciously at his sister and then at Liu Ninger. After some thought, he decided to not ask anymore.
"Haha, I heard that my son has come, so I came to take a look." At this moment, Le Hedang's laughter came from behind him.
Gongsun Xu looked back and saw Le Hedang, who was wearing a black robe, and two maids standing at the entrance of the yard.
"Greetings, uncle!" Gongsun Xu came forward, cupped his hands, and bowed, then said with a smile, "I have come presumptuously, but I didn't expect to alarm uncle. I am very sorry."
"Aiya!" Le Hedang clapped his hands and pretended to be angry, "Don't you want to see me as one of you?"
Gongsun Xu pretended to be terrified and tried to defend himself: "How dare I! This nephew is extremely grateful and intimate to uncle! "
"Haha!" Le Hedang laughed heartily as he pulled Gongsun Xu's arm and eagerly said, "Since that's the case, nephew should come over and play more!"
"Definitely!"
"That's more like it!" Le Hedang nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Is nephew alright today?"
"About this" Gongsun Xu looked at his sister and nodded: "It should be fine, right?"
This morning, Gongsun Xu was about to leave for the barracks when he was forcefully dragged by Gongsun Rui to the Le Mansion. Gongsun Xu knew that although his sister was a bit of a prankster, she wasn't a person who talked nonsense. Thus, he wanted to spend half a day to see what exactly was going on. Coincidentally, Ku Le came to ask some questions, so Gongsun Xu decided that he might as well bring him along. On the way, he took care of a few small matters that Ku Le asked for. But as soon as he arrived, he saw the elephant and was scared half to death by Ku Le, who had never seen such a huge beast before.
"Haha, this is great!" Le Hedang was very happy to let go of Gongsun Xu. He turned around and ordered, "Tell the chef to prepare a few tables of banquet quickly. I want to have a hearty drink with my nephew!"
"Thank you, uncle."
Le Hedang's long sleeves danced as he turned around to look at Ku Le and smiled, "This is Ku Le, Academy Officer, right? One could tell at a glance that he was a courageous person! What this old man admires the most is a valiant general, I wonder if Ku Le, Academy Officer, would like to attend the banquet together with you? "
Ku Le was both surprised and surprised. He immediately cupped his hands together and thanked him, "Thank you for your invitation, Master Le. I was so surprised and spoiled so much. I will drink a few cups of wine to you."
Le Hedang's rich reputation had already spread throughout the entire prairie. Together with Li Yizi, they were called the 'Youzhou's Wealthy God' by the Hu people on the prairie. Ku Le was now just a little Academy Officer who had left the Wu Huan Clan and only had a thousand men. Le Hedang complimented him a few times and invited him to a feast. Ku Le immediately felt flattered.
"Great!" I would also like to have a few drinks with Ku Le and Academy Officer. " After Le Hedang dealt with Ku Le, he smiled and said to Gongsun Xu, "Son, it's not surprising for this long-nosed monster to take a few more glances. Why don't you go to the study room and have a chat with this old man?"
"Little nephew will listen to uncle." Gongsun Xu answered casually.
"Wait!" Gongsun Rui pulled Gongsun Xu and whispered in his ear, "Brother, it's really urgent. They should be here soon."
"Who's coming?" Gongsun Xu was confused.
Gongsun Rui was about to answer when she suddenly smiled and pouted behind Gongsun Xu.
Gongsun Xu turned around and saw two girls dressed in black floating over. Hua Chan was on the left side and a handsome woman on the right.
When they were near, Hua Chan bowed slightly, "I am Hua Chan, and I pay my respects to the old master Le, and to the young duke."
The woman in black beside him merely nodded her head in greeting.
"Haha, since this subject still has something to attend to, this old man will first go to the study room to wait." With Le Hedang's status, he naturally couldn't stand in the way. He laughed and left first.
Gongsun Rui pulled Gongsun Xu to the front of the woman in black and introduced her with a smile, "Brother, this is Sister Mo Bingmei. She has something to say to you."
'Mo Bingmeimo is a very rare surname, could it be someone from the Mo family? 'Gongsun Xu thought in his heart. He quickly bowed and said, "Oh, it's Miss Mo. I am Gongsun Xu, very polite."
Mo Bingmei dodged to the side and didn't accept his greeting, nor did she open her mouth to reply.
Gongsun Rui went close to Gongsun Xu's ear and whispered, "Brother, Sister Mo looks cold, but she's actually a good person. Don't be angry!"
Gongsun Xu smiled. 'Bing Mei' seemed to be a real name. What was there to be angry about with an iceberg lady?
Gongsun Rui pointed at an exquisite pavilion tens of steps away, smiled at Mo Bingmei and said, "Sister Mo, didn't you have something to tell your brother? Why don't we go over there and talk about it? "
Mo Bingmei nodded and took the lead as they walked towards the small pavilion.
Gongsun Rui whispered to Gongsun Xu not to be angry, then pushed him.
"What a cold girl." Ku Le suddenly shivered when he saw Mo Bingmei walk into the pavilion.
Gongsun Rui kicked him and said: "Hmph! You're such a blabbermouth! Sister Mo was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. It was much better than you! If you dare to speak ill of her again, be careful that I may tell my brother about you! "
Ku Le quickly smiled apologetically: "Hehe, I made a slip of the tongue. Please don't be angry, Miss. I promise you, I won't say a word. "
"At least you're sensible!" Gongsun Rui was incredibly proud of herself. She pointed at the large bundle of evergreen branches at the left corner and ordered, "If you're strong, go feed those branches to Da Hui!"
"Huh?" Ku Le was flabbergasted.
"Ah what? "Go quickly!" Gongsun Rui shouted coldly.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go right now!" Ku Le walked towards the corner with a bitter face.
"Hee hee, this guy is pretty easy to bully!" Gongsun Rui said to Liu Ninger with a chuckle.
When Ku Le heard this, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Inside the small pavilion, Gongsun Xu and Mo Bingmei stood facing each other. Neither of them had any intention of opening their mouths first.
After a while, Gongsun Xu couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Mo Bingmei asked coldly, "May I ask what is your ambition, Young Master?"
Why did this happen again? Gongsun Xu cursed silently. Guo Jia had asked and Mo Bingmei had asked. Did she want to rely on him too? If she was really a descendant of the Mo family, he could consider it.
"May I ask Young Master's ambition?" Mo Bingmei asked again impatiently.
Gongsun Xu knew the purpose of the Mo family very well, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense like how Guo Jia did that day, 'To establish the heart of heaven and earth, to make a living for the people'. After thinking for a while, he answered: "My ambition is very shallow, I want to let the people under my rule have clothes to wear and eat! "That's all!"
Mo Bingmei's eyes lit up as she nodded, "Young Master is wrong."
"Oh?" Gongsun Xu was slightly stunned: "Please enlighten me, my wife."
Mo Bingmei said firmly, "This is not a shallow ambition, but the greatest ambition in the world!"
"Hehe, my wife, you're exaggerating a bit, aren't you?" Gongsun Xu pretended to be surprised as he asked, but inside, he was overjoyed. This girl looked like she was someone who didn't know anything about the world, wouldn't it be easy for her to trick you?
"How can it be exaggerated?" Mo Bingmei's beautiful almond-shaped eyes widened as she solemnly said, "Ancestral ancestor was unable to achieve these two things his entire life, how could Young Master belittle himself?"
"How could I dare to compare with my wife's ancestors?" Gongsun Xu asked humbly while feigning confusion, "May I ask which sage was the ancestor of this young lady?"
Mo Bingmei said proudly, "Ancestor Mo Zhai!"
"What?" Gongsun Xu shouted exaggeratedly, which attracted the curious gazes of Gongsun Rui and the rest. He immediately saluted again with a face full of shock, "So it's the descendant of the late sages of the Mo family. My apologies!"
"I dare not accept it!" Mo Bingmei dodged again, but this time she managed to say something polite.
"Able to do so! He deserved it! Mo Zhai is the person I admire the most. Since I am his descendant, how could I dare to be careless? " Gongsun Xu bowed for the third time and said, "This salute is not to show respect to my wife. It is to pay respect to Mo Zhai and the disciples of the Mo family who have devoted hundreds of years to loving the whole world. Lady, please accept it."
"Thank you! The Mo Family disciples are extremely grateful! " Mo Bingmei thanked him solemnly, curtsied earnestly and bowed to return the courtesy.
"Haha, no need to be so courteous, little lady." Gongsun Xu Xu held her up and thought to himself, "This kind of person with a noble mind is easy to fool."
When Mo Bingmei stood up, Gongsun Xu asked again, "May I ask, what do you have to say to me?"
This time, Mo Bingmei didn't put on airs and asked softly, "Has young master ever heard of the son of the Mo family?"
"Of course!" Gongsun Xu quickly nodded his head and said with a face full of admiration: "The son of the Mo family is the leader of the Mo Sect, and also the most righteous person in the world.
"This …" Mo Bingmei's cold face suddenly blushed. She stuttered, "Actually, I'm not as good as you say!"
"What?" Wu Tie was truly shocked. Mo Bingmei was the son of the Mo family? Isn't this way too exaggerated! Mo Sect Disciple, how could you let a beautiful lady be the leader?
"Young Master is surprised?" Mo Bingmei's face turned scarlet for a moment, as though she was trying to explain, but at the same time, she seemed to not be satisfied with Gongsun Xu's shock, and she said softly: "Before the new son of the Mo Sect takes office, he has to go through layers upon layers of examinations, with regards to military strategy, martial arts, spies, assassinations, there are more than a dozen different types, this little girl is the best, and this is the only one my father has ever given to me!"
It turned out to be a super female straight-A student! Furthermore, she was an iceberg female bookworm! Gongsun Xu sighed in his heart. This kind of person coming to find him was definitely not something simple!
"This little girl wants to ask Young Master for a favor." Mo Bingmei looked at Gongsun Xu expectantly.
Gongsun Xu sighed and said, "Please give me a big word, I won't refuse anything that I can help!"
"If you don't dare to call me young master by the name of a son, then you and I can discuss our relationship on equal footing." Mo Bingmei modestly said. Her face suddenly turned red again as she said softly, "Young Master's words from the military camp a few days ago were so impressive that I couldn't help but admire you. At that time, I decided that Young Master was someone from the same side as me, so I invited Miss Gongsun to help me. Young Master, can you accept three hundred thousand refugees this winter? "
Three hundred thousand refugees! Gongsun Xu was so scared that he almost gasped for breath and said in astonishment, "May I ask, little lady, where did these three hundred thousand refugees come from?"
"The chaos in Dong Zhuo has just subsided, and Li Que and Guo Si have once again started a riot in the fortress. Right now, there are people everywhere in the fortress, and no less than a thousand of them are frozen and starved every day! This little girl has no other requests, I only hope that Young Master can allow them to enter the He Prefecture, and then transfer from the He Prefecture to the Youzhou. Even if Young Master can only give me some clothes, and only give me two bowls of porridge every day, as long as I don't starve anyone to death! " Mo Bingmei spoke with confidence, her face filled with a pure and holy radiance.
"This …" Gongsun Xu couldn't wait to control the increasing population, but he showed an extremely troubled expression on his face.
"Young master, is there anything that you find difficult to talk about?" Mo Bingmei hurriedly asked with a bit of anxiety in her eyes. If Gongsun Xu, this' Daoist ', was unwilling to accept those pitiful refugees, who in the world would be willing to do such a thing?
Gongsun Xu sighed, "I know that the Youzhou is a cold and bitter place, and now, I have become mortal enemies with Yuan Shao and Wu Huan. At the same time, the Xianbei People in the north is always eyeing me covetously, so the pressure on the Youzhou is just too great! This humble one will not hide the truth from my wife that there will be a great battle between Yuan Shao and me next spring. At this time, to actually accept three hundred thousand refugees is truly a bit too much for me to do anything about it! "
"Then what should we do?" Mo Bingmei immediately became flustered. Without caring about being reserved, she grabbed Gongsun Xu's arm and pleaded, "Young master must have a way, right?"
"Hehe, you have a big problem. I need to have a good discussion with my father and the others. After three days, I will tell you the answer. Is that alright?"
"Good!" Three days later, this little girl will pay a visit, I hope Young Master will consider the fact that there are so many innocent lives, and do not lay down this little girl as you please! "
"Definitely! I have just said that I admire Mo Zhai the most. Furthermore, this little lady can be so merciful. How could I dare to fall behind so easily? "
"Good!" This little girl will take her leave first! " Mo Bingmei clasped her hands and bowed before turning around and walking out of the pavilion.
Gongsun Xu quickly asked, "Does my wife have a place to stay? If not, why don't we stay with Rui Er for the time being?"
"There's no need to trouble Young Master. I'm staying at Junior Sister Hua Chan's house." After Mo Bingmei finished speaking, she quickly walked out of the small pavilion.
Gongsun Xu suddenly realized something, 'So Master Hua Chan is from the Mo family. No wonder she has such a high level of martial arts!'
Mo Bingmei walked up to Gongsun Rui and the others, greeted them, and left.
Gongsun Rui skipped into the small pavilion, grabbed Gongsun Xu, and asked excitedly, "Brother! Brother! What did Sister Mo say to you? Is she in love with you? "
Clang!
"Aiyo, you bad guy! I said don't knock your head! "Let's watch the fight!"
