Chapter 445 Forced Marriage
"Don't think that my Zhou family wants to take advantage of you. How much dowry your Xiao family prepares, my Zhou family will prepare as much dowry. This old man's words are here. The dowry prepared by my Zhou family is definitely more than the dowry prepared by your Xiao family. A lot." Zhou Ting curled his lips, "My Zhou family doesn't like the three melons and jujubes of your Xiao family!"
Xiao Yan smiled bitterly: "Yes, yes, senior is right."
After a pause, Xiao Yan said with a tangled expression: "But...the younger generation will not be successful or not, and he is not ready for marriage!"
Hearing this, Zhou Ting's face immediately turned cold: "What do you mean, kid? Do you want to go back on it? You better explain it clearly, otherwise, even if you are from the Sky Academy, the old man will definitely kill you! The daughter of the family, not everyone can bully!"
"Senior calm down, that's not what the kid meant." Xiao Yan suddenly dripped with cold sweat and quickly explained: "The kid just thinks that the kid is still young, Xiner is too young, far from the age of marriage, the most important thing is , The kid has not achieved any achievements. It is too unfair to Xiner to get married now. The kid thinks that it is far better to give Xiner a beautiful wedding after the kid becomes famous than to get married in a hurry now. Give the dowry first, get engaged to Xiner, and when the time is right, the kid will naturally marry Xiner."
After finished speaking, Xiao Yan said sternly: "Senior can rest assured, this junior will never marry Xiner in this life, and this junior is absolutely sincere to Xiner."
This is Xiao Yan's real thought. He will not deceive Zhou Ting in such an important matter.
Looking at Xiao Yan's sincere face, Zhou Ting's expression softened slightly, and said in a low voice, "I believe your words come from the heart, but your age is not too young. When you're older, you have children, so you don't have to worry about it. As for the wedding, if I marry a princess from the Zhou Dynasty royal family, even if I marry a beggar, the wedding will definitely be the most beautiful in the Zhou Dynasty!"
Zhou Xiner, the only princess in the Zhou Dynasty, is the jewel in the palm of the entire royal family. How could her wedding not be beautiful?
"The old man still said that, you must get married as soon as possible, and you don't need to worry about other things. Don't think that the old man really likes that little dowry. If you say something bad, even if you give your entire Xiao family to the royal family, The royal family is not willing to ask for it!" Zhou Ting is very stubborn, and he will not change his mind easily.
The more he knew about Xiao Yan, the more he was shocked by the talent of this young man. If such a genius was not tied to the royal family earlier, Zhou Ting would not be relieved.
He didn't doubt Xiao Yan's sincerity towards Zhou Xiner, but everything was just in case, if something happened in the middle, wouldn't the royal family lose a super genius?
The best way is to quickly get Xiao Yan and Zhou Xiner married to prevent all accidents from happening, so that the royal family can rest easy.
Zhou Ting thought too much and went too far. He not only had to consider Zhou Xiner's happiness, but also the interests of the royal family. Although he would not sacrifice Zhou Xiner's happiness for the interests of the Zhou Dynasty's royal family, in the case of both Next, he naturally has to think more, lest the bamboo basket be empty, not only get no benefits, but also lead to Zhou Xiner's unhappy life.
Hearing what Zhou Ting said, Xiao Yan couldn't help being silent. He didn't like that his marriage was decided by others. Even if this person was his father, he might not be obedient, let alone Zhou Ting.
But Zhou Ting is Zhou Xiner's ancestor after all, and the founding emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. If he refuses directly, it will undoubtedly anger Zhou Ting and cause things to develop in an unknown direction.
Xiao Yan did not agree, neither did he refuse, for a while he did not know how to answer.
Just when Xiao Yan was in a dilemma, Zhou Xiner, Xiao Ding, and Xiao Zhantian rushed from afar.
"Brother Xiao Yan!" Zhou Xiner saw Xiao Yan's swollen appearance like a pig's head from a distance, she couldn't help but exclaimed, rushed to Xiao Yan, and said distressedly, "Why is the old ancestor so cruel to beat you like this? Vice appearance. Brother Xiao Yan, does it hurt? Hurry up, take the Healing Pill."
Zhou Xiner completely ignored Zhou Ting next to her, and quickly took out a piece of silk cloth from her bosom, opened a jade bottle wrapped in it, and poured out an elixir with a faint fragrance.
Watching Xiao Yan swallow the Healing Pill, Zhou Xiner turned her head, looked at Zhou Ting, and pouted, "Old Ancestor, how could you give such a heavy hand to Brother Xiao Yan?"
Xiao Ding and Xiao Zhantian looked at Xiao Yan's miserable appearance, and they felt very distressed, but this injury was obviously caused by Zhou Ting, even if they were dissatisfied, they did not dare to show it.
"Girl, don't be nervous, your brother Xiao Yan just suffered a little skin trauma, so it's not in the way." Zhou Ting said helplessly: "When the old man is so young, injuries are commonplace, and there is no way to get a healing pill. What's the matter? What's more, my generation of cultivators, fighting for fate with the sky, is nothing to do with a little skin trauma, who can guarantee that they will not be injured in their lifetime?"
It can be seen that he really loves Zhou Xiner. For another person, he would have slapped the other person into the sky long ago. How could he have the patience to explain to the other person?
Xiao Ding and Xiao Zhantian breathed a sigh of relief, if it was just some skin trauma, it was barely acceptable.
"Then you can't use such a heavy hand!" Zhou Xiner still pouted, looking unhappy.
Zhou Ting couldn't help laughing bitterly and coaxed in a low voice: "Okay, girl, the ancestors listen to you, next time you must be gentle, okay?"
Xiao Yan's body stiffened, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "Is there a next time?"
But Zhou Xiner didn't hear the sinister intentions hidden in Zhou Ting's words, and thought that Zhou Ting was really mistaken, and suddenly smiled: "It's almost the same."
"Front..." Xiao Yan just wanted to say something, but Zhou Ting gave him a bad look, and he shivered suddenly, and when it came to his mouth, he swallowed it back.
"Brother Xiao Yan, what did you just say?" Zhou Xiner looked at Xiao Yan suspiciously.
Under Zhou Ting's threatening gaze, Xiao Yan only felt his scalp tingling, swallowed hard, and immediately shook his head: "No, I didn't say anything."
Zhou Ting immediately smiled with satisfaction, and secretly said in his heart, "Forget about your acquaintance!"
"Okay, Xiao Yan boy, this old man is too lazy to talk nonsense with you, so I will ask you, what did you think about the old man's proposal just now?" Zhou Ting kept thinking about Xiao Yan and Zhou Xiner's marriage. He was diverted from the topic just now, but he quickly brought the topic back, "Old man, put the ugly first, you only have this chance, if you miss it, no one will give you another chance!"
These words are already a threat, using Zhou Xiner to threaten Xiao Yan.
But, Xiao Yan had nothing to do.
"Old Ancestor, Brother Xiao Yan, what are you talking about?" Zhou Xiner keenly sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and couldn't help asking.
Zhou Ting frowned and said solemnly, "Girl, shut up and let Xiao Yan speak!"
Hearing this, Zhou Xiner opened her mouth, but she still didn't dare to speak again. Normally, she can make a fuss at will, even pulling Zhou Ting's beard, there is no problem, but when Zhou Ting is serious, she is still a little nervous. Alas, the founding emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, once he got serious, no one in the entire Zhou Dynasty royal family could resist his majesty.
Xiao Yan moved his gaze to Zhou Xiner, recalling every bit of being with Zhou Xiner in his mind, a smile gradually appeared on his face, the smile was very gentle and full of love.
Although he knew that Zhou Ting was intimidating himself, even if he really refused, Zhou Ting would not stop him from being with Xiner, but Xiao Yan still did not dare to gamble, even if there was only a 1% chance of losing, he would still dare not try.
In this world, there are three people who he absolutely cannot give up, occupying an important position in his heart, one is his father Xiao Ding, one is his teacher Ou Shenfeng, and the other is Zhou Xiner!
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan retracted his gaze, raised his head, looked directly at Zhou Ting, and said calmly: "Senior, I promise you. Within a month, the junior will go to the imperial capital to be hired, and within a year, the junior will marry Xiner. After speaking, Xiao Yan turned to look at Zhou Xiner with a dull face, and asked gently, "Xiner, are you willing to marry me?"
Zhou Xiner was confused by this sudden scene, and she couldn't believe it.
She suddenly covered her mouth, a mist filled her eyes, and murmured, "Brother Xiao Yan..."
Happiness came so suddenly, she wasn't ready for it at all.
Zhou Xiner never thought that this day would come so quickly and so suddenly, she was also unprepared for Xiao Yan's confession, her mind was instantly lost, and her brain suffered a brief downtime.
Seeing that Zhou Xiner didn't speak, Xiao Yan suddenly became a little nervous: "Xiner."
Although he was very sure that Zhou Xiner loved him, when he really made a bold confession, he still couldn't help worrying about gains and losses.
I saw Zhou Xiner gradually wake up, her beautiful lips were slightly raised, and her eyes narrowed into a crescent with a smile, she said crisply: "Yes! Brother Xiao Yan, Xiner is willing!"
"Thank you, thank you, Xiner." Xiao Yan held Zhou Xiner's palm, the smile on his face was very bright, as if he had harvested the whole world.
Xiao Ding and Xiao Zhantian couldn't help but smile with relief, their eyes full of sighs.
"In a blink of an eye, Yan'er has reached the age of marrying a wife, time is not forgiving!" Xiao Ding couldn't help but sigh, "Ya Jing, have you seen that our children will also enter the palace of marriage, and, This child has the same vision as me, and will definitely be happier than us in the future!"
For Zhou Xiner, Xiao Ding was so satisfied that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. The former was good to Xiao Yan, and he had seen it all these years.
Whether it is character, talent, or family background, Zhou Xiner is not bad, especially her family background, as Zhou Xiner is the princess of the Zhou Dynasty, the baby of the royal family, Xiao Yan can marry Zhou Xiner, in Xiao Ding's opinion, it is definitely Xiao Yan's honor. The Xiao family can be regarded as climbing high branches.
