: ☆Chapter 38 Zhu Xiangxiang's Engagement
On the way back, Aunt Yan seemed unintentional: "Taohua is a good girl. In my heart, she is the daughter-in-law of our Yan family. No matter what happens in the future, we can't treat her badly. We can't let her down."
Yan Yicheng clenched his fist, and after a long time, the clenched fist was slowly released, with a bitter tone: "I know."
But Bai Shi, who went to Bai's house, came back beaming.
Aren't you happy? The two hit it off.
When Zhu Xiangxiang heard Lanhua's report, she was astonished, but she didn't expect it, and panicked. She didn't want to marry her cousin.
"Is dad back?"
"Well, the master just came back, and he's in the wife's room."
"Go, now go."
She's going to go and see what's going on.
Seeing his daughter rushing over, County Magistrate Zhu smiled: "Xiangxiang is in such a hurry, maybe it's because of visiting Heniang?"
Zhu Xiangxiang didn't talk nonsense to them, and asked directly: "Father, are you going to marry your cousin? You don't like him."
Seeing her like this, County Magistrate Zhu gestured for her to sit down with his finger.
Zhu Xiangxiang pouted, not very happy.
"Father knows what he wants to say. However, some things are expedient. Don't think too much. Daddy will not forcefully marry someone he doesn't like. I'm only fourteen years old this year, and I've already got through with the Bai family. You can Let the two of you get engaged first, and I know that engagement is not guaranteed. I will have a good talk with my uncle and cousin later." County magistrate Zhu comforted his daughter.
"But why are you in such a hurry? Is it..." Zhu Xiangxiang stopped talking, and asked, "Is it because of Xiao Liu?"
"Prefect Liu doesn't want to marry our family. This is the best way. Don't worry, Dad will help with the planning."
Sure enough, it was the guy who caused the problem.
"En, I got it." No matter how I was, I was not as careful as my father. Moreover, a father would never harm his daughter.
County Magistrate Zhu is the one who acts resolutely. Now that his wife has communicated with them, it's his turn to play next.
By the time Zhu Xiangxiang was called to the study by County Magistrate Zhu, everything had been settled.
They got engaged first. After all, Zhu Xiangxiang was not very old. They agreed that they would get married three years after the engagement. Zhu Xiangxiang didn't know what Zhu County magistrate and Bai's father and son had promised. In short, everything went well.
"But, Daddy, I don't think my brother is very capable!" She knew that her brother, that idiot, was only optimistic about Xiao Liu in her marriage, and she didn't know if he had any brains.
"That's a lot, let's say that my brother is sick, don't let him go to the school, let him go out after the two companies have hired and settled down, so as to save him from causing trouble."
"Well, but Dad, is it really all right?" She was actually not at ease.
County magistrate Zhu smiled: "I talked to my cousin. This is just an external statement. Anyway, he is not in a hurry to marry a wife. Let me help you. If there is a suitable choice during this period, our two families will find a reason to divorce , there is absolutely no problem with my cousin. No matter what, we are all one family. "
"Oh, I see."
Now that County Magistrate Zhu was sure, she was relieved, yes, what Dad said was right, no matter how much she looked down on her cousin, Bai Pingyou was her cousin, and the Bai family and her family were on good terms.
At critical times, they will always help.
"Father, the old general will beat the two." She gave a thumbs up.
"However, if you don't meet a suitable one within these three years, you will have to marry your cousin in three years." This sentence was a joke.
"I know! Anyway, there are still three years." She also replied casually.
Even if it didn't happen this time. She will also face this problem a few years later.
Seeing that his girl can still think about it, County Magistrate Zhu smiled.
When Zhu Nannan heard about his younger sister's marriage to his cousin, he opened his mouth wide, looking puzzled. He couldn't figure out how his younger sister would agree.
Before he could do anything, though, his dad called him in sick.
However, he is obviously not sick.
He still has to tell Xiao Liu.
"Stay here honestly and ask for sick leave. I just don't want to go out and talk nonsense, so as not to delay my sister's marriage." Mrs. Bai was too lazy to tell him those useless things, and even more lazy to look at him, so she just pushed him away. in the room.
"Click" a big lock and a lock. Finished.
"Mother, what are you doing, mother, that dear mother..."
"Boom!" Bai kicked the door.
"I'm not dead yet, she's called a soul. Just stay here honestly, my younger sister agrees, if it's not for fear of making trouble, as for locking them, please be honest, otherwise don't say it's impolite."
Bai Shi spoke viciously.
Zhu Nannan became honest.
Xiangxiang, how could you agree?
Xiao Liu, what about Xiao Liu?
Hearing that Zhu Nannan was ill again, several of his cronies were puzzled.
"Didn't he be fine yesterday?" Xiao Liuzuo muttered.
"It must have been locked up for another mistake." Xiao Lin concluded.
The two laughed, but Xiao Song didn't think the same as them.
"Why do you think this is strange?"
"What's so strange?"
"It's not good to say, I just feel strange."
"Okay, okay, don't be suspicious. Let's go out and eat something together."
"Would you like to go and see Zhu Nannan..."
"Go and see? If he is really locked up, do you think we can see him?" Xiao Song rolled his eyes.
"That's true."
The Zhu family and the Bai family set up a date for the appointment, and wrote a letter to Liu Zhifu in advance.
The Liu family is also very happy about his being on the right track.
Koyanagi Shonan goes to school. Inevitably will hear the news.
Finding a reason to detain Xiao Liu at home, Liu Zhifu also felt worried.
As a parent, how can you not want your children to be well? How can he be the one who only cares about his status? What he is doing now is for the benefit of his son. It is absolutely beyond his imagination that a wife with a prominent family background can help him.
My son is young and doesn't understand these things. If I don't help him think more now, it is inevitable that he will blame himself in the future. What do you like, and what is unforgettable? When you have status and status in the future, aren't there many women you want? I'm afraid that when that time comes, Xiao Liu won't be thinking about Zhu Xiangxiang anymore.
But now, this matter still has to be kept a secret from him.
"Master, the old man is already holding you back with the excuse of being uncomfortable. Don't worry about it." The master is Liu Zhifu's confidant.
"Today the Bai family will go to the Zhu family to hire, so Xuaner must not let Xuan'er know. Otherwise, with his temperament, it would be strange if he didn't make trouble."
"Yes, but this county magistrate Zhu is also very knowledgeable. We just found him, and he got engaged to Zhu Xiangxiang. I didn't think of using his daughter to cling to him." The master has also been with Liu Zhifu for more than 20 years, otherwise he wouldn't have Talk like this.
"He is smart and knows how to do it, which is the best."
"What are you talking about!" The door was pushed open.
It was Xiao Liu standing at the door, his eyes were red, staring at his father.
"Xuan'er? Why are you here?" Prefect Liu didn't expect that Liu Wenxuan was standing at the door.
He stared closely at his father.
"What are you talking about? How could you do this?" He turned around and ran out. He wanted to stop it, he wanted to stop the Bai family from being hired, and he wanted to stop Xiangxiang from marrying Bie.
How could she, how could she marry someone else?
See him running out like crazy.
"Stop the young master quickly, stop the young master..." Liu Zhifu hurriedly shouted.
Seeing the master talking, the servants also rushed up, but Liu Wenxuan ran out desperately, afraid of hurting him, so he rushed to the door.
The porter quickly closed the door.
"Quick, stop him quickly, are you dead..."
The yard suddenly became chaotic, no matter how much he resisted, no matter how hard Liu Wenxuan tried, but in the end he couldn't withstand all the strength and was held down like this.
"Put him in the room." Prefect Liu was also sweating profusely.
"Father, let it go, let it go, I want to go to Xiangxiang, I want to go to Xiangxiang... don't want her to marry another, dad, isn't it the most painful? Dad, since childhood, what do you want? Give it all, as long as Xiangxiang, as long as Xiangxiang is good..."
"Quickly shut his mouth." Such a growl sounded like something.
In the end, Liu Wenxuan was covered and locked in the room.
"Let it go, let it go..." He kept banging on the door. Also hated myself for asking them why he didn't just go, why not?
Xiao Liu didn't understand why things turned out like this, he only knew that Xiangxiang was assigned to Bie by his father and county magistrate Zhu.
Why, why did things become like this.
Shonan.
The Bai family carried a generous dowry gift, and arrived at Zhu's house with a beating.
Everything went well.
It's normal for a cousin to marry a cousin.
Zhu Xiangxiang smiled and stood aside, looking virtuous.
Bai Pingyou also let the media praise him.
"The two of you have discussed it. Xiangxiang is still young, and Pingyou's career is not stable. We thought, let's make a decision today. Three years, three years later, we will definitely give our two children a big deal." Zhu County order to speak.
In this era, being engaged is almost the same as getting married. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he will never divorce. Zhu Xiangxiang doesn't know what kind of reasons his father can think of, but it is still too early to say about the divorce.
Let's fool Zhifu Liu first. It is precisely because of the importance of this engagement that Liu Zhifu will tolerate them not getting married for the time being.
This side is full of joy and reunion, everything seems to be perfect, but I don't know what kind of torment the Liu family and Xiao Liu are suffering.
Watching the sun go down, his voice was hoarse, and his mood fell into a trough. He knew that it was too late. Xiangxiang was already engaged, and she was engaged.
But he was not reconciled, he was really not reconciled, at this moment, he really wanted to see her, and wanted to ask her if she would wait for him.
"Brother..." came a small voice.
Liu Wenxuan looked up in surprise, and saw Liu Yining by the window.
She waved at him, "Quick, come out from here."
Liu Zhifu felt that the day had passed, and he also knew that Liu Wenxuan could not destroy the family's appointment, so the guards were relaxed.
Liu Yining is a young lady, and her husband's family is such a prominent family, so everyone is naturally afraid of her.
With some tricks, she wanted to rescue her brother.
Xiangxiang is her good friend. In fact, she hopes that she can be her sister-in-law, but the family members don't think so.
Seeing a ray of dawn, Liu Wenxuan crawled out with all his strength.
"Let's go over the wall through the back door. It's on this side." Liu Yining said righteously.
"kindness."
He stumbled and ran towards the backyard, but when he ran to the backyard and was about to climb over the wall, he saw Zhifu Liu, standing there firmly.
The two just looked at each other.
Liu Wenxuan ignored him, turned around and continued to climb the wall.
"Why do I like Zhu Xiangxiang? Is it because I made a mistake and took kindness as love? Because she gave her life to save her, I like her and love her. But in fact, this is just an illusion."
With a cold snort: "When she kicked, she felt angry, but she also felt that this girl was real. When she knelt down, she felt shock, and felt that this girl made her heart pity. When she refused to let go, she knew that she was the best in the world. The best girl. Either to be grateful, not to repay her kindness, or to like her."
"I don't love her at all." Liu Zhifu continued.
Xiao Liu slid down again, this time, instead of continuing to climb, he rushed in front of him.
"This kind of person who only seeks profit and only clings to the powerful can't understand the sincerity of feelings. Whatever you say, I'm looking for Xiangxiang." Continue to climb.
"In my eyes, is this what my father looks like?" He also felt heartbroken, as his most beloved son looked at him like this.
Xiao Liu didn't answer this question: "Even if everyone is against it, I still want Zhu Xiangxiang. If you want her to be engaged, tell me now, just tell me, don't say she is engaged, even if she is married, you want her, just want her."
"Okay." Liu Zhifu also became angry: "You want her? Why? Tell me? Why do you think Bai Pingyou is not good? He Bai Pingyou is young and promising, elegant and handsome, and has grown up with her. What? Did Zhu Xiangxiang say that she likes it? If you want to grab it, what is it to grab? What have you done besides the name of the magistrate? What is there?"
Xiao Liu was stunned by his question, and just stood there blankly.
"Okay, let's leave the word here today. As long as you are promising and capable, if you want Zhu Xiangxiang, then go for it. Now, why not rely on it, rely on this father who thinks he is mercenary and clings to the powerful? Don't care now, love to leave Let's go. Don't worry about it. Think about it for yourself, why should the girl like it, why should I fight for it?"
The quarrel between the two has long attracted the crowd.
Seeing Liu Zhifu leave in a huff, Liu Yining hurried over to hold Liu Wenxuan.
"elder brother......"
He looked up blankly: "Yining, brother, is brother really useless?"
"No, how could it be?" Liu Yining looked at his brother distressedly.
The matter came to an end just like that, Liu Wenxuan didn't leave, but went back to his room quietly without saying anything.
A farce is over.
Maybe, he really listened to what Liu Zhifu said.
Liu Zhifu who returned to the bedroom directly pulled the cup on the table to the ground.
There was a sound of ping-pong-pong.
"What's wrong?" Liu Fu looked at his cut hand, and hurriedly shouted in distress.
"What is this for? Why are you so angry with the child? He's still young..." She almost cried.
Slumped on a chair.
Liu Zhifu sighed heavily.
"Now this good son knows the role played by Zhu and Bai in the marriage, and he already hates it to the core. Did you hear what he said? He said that he was only looking for profit, and he said he wanted to cling to the powerful. But he didn't want to think about it. If he didn't do these things, he would Can you live a good life like this now? In the officialdom, which one is not like this? But, how can you count your son?"
"Don't be like this, I know, it's not like this." Liu Fu comforted him while helping him bandage.
"It doesn't matter if he complains. If it's because of this, it can also make him forge ahead, stop eating, drinking and having fun, and live in a daze. Even if it's sad, it's worth it."
"Master, don't be like this, Xuan'er is still young, he will understand."
"well!"
When all the dust settled, Xiao Liu went to the school, and Zhu Nannan was also released.
The four little brothers sat together.
They were silent for a long time.
"Xiao Liu, it's not good, but the family is afraid of troubles, so they locked it up." He explained.
"It doesn't matter." Xiao Liu obviously didn't like talking very much today, and when he spoke, his voice became very hoarse.
"Your voice?" Kobayashi asked.
Looking at the caring eyes, Xiao Liu forced a smile: "It's okay. Don't worry."
As if unwilling to say more, Xiao Liu stood up and patted the dust off her body.
"I'm going in to review the books, do you want to go?" The others were a little surprised. This is Koyanagi? Usually he is lazy when he can.
"Well, okay, okay, let's go, let's review the book together." Xiao Song saw that he was not in the right state, so he dragged a few to review the book together.
Thus, such a terrifying scene appeared in the academy.
The four groups of well-known playboys actually study and study.
Yan Yicheng, who was so indifferent, looked at them many more times.
But then everyone discovered that in fact, only Xiao Liuyi was serious about reviewing books, and everyone else was watching him.
What's wrong with this guy? What stimulated you?
I don't look at them seriously, just observe myself.
Xiao Liu put the book down: "I really read the book with my heart, and I hope you will do the same. We can't live under the blessing of our elders forever. If we want to get something we want, we must become stronger. Not relying on anything."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the words that were sluggish because of his words, and then continued to review the book.
