Chapter 366: A Painful Decision
Xuanya came to her father angrily, just to reason with her father, "Dad! How can you be like this! People come all the way to our house, but you have this attitude, do you think that people can not leave? Have you forgotten the affection of your old neighbor?"
Lao Xuan put down the busy business at hand, raised his head, looked at his daughter's angry expression, and said calmly: "Child! I don't think this matter will be as simple as you say, right? If you have feelings for him, you have to take over the family first, and then mention to me about your wedding, can I not know about your little wishful thinking?"
Xuanya's face turned red, and her own thoughts made her father see through it, and she didn't feel a little embarrassed, "Daddy, didn't you say it before? When we are a few years older, we will handle our marriage? Haven't you always been very satisfied with Zhanrong? Why do you have such an attitude towards others now?"
"That's good! Zhanrong is really good, knowledgeable and understanding. I used to be very optimistic about him, but have you ever thought about your father? Daddy has been studying hard for decades without a future, and now he can finally be named on the gold list and become an official in the court, how easy it is to talk about this way!
Now my father holds an important position in the imperial court, with no foundation and no connections, but this big court is intertwined, forming parties for personal gain, and offending others if I don't pay attention to it, and people like me who have no background and no money can only become the victim of various factions, open and secret fights, and intrigues, am I the destined lamb, sitting back and waiting to be slaughtered? Of course, I am not reconciled?
I have to find a way to occupy a place in this great court! In the future, I can rise to the top step by step, and I will be like a fish in water in this court!" Lao Xuan poured out his heart and lungs to tell his daughter what he thought.
Although she didn't say it very clearly, she was obedient and listened to the sound, Xuanya was not stupid, of course she could hear her father's voice, she must have disliked Zhanrong's background and background, it seems that Zhanrong's guess is correct, he has already expected his father's thoughts, but people have repeatedly asked him this question, and it seems that he still ignores this matter.
However, what is in her father's words, she is rising step by step, like a fish in water, can she realize her dream of being promoted to an official and making a fortune by refusing her combination with Zhanrong? She thought about it repeatedly, and suddenly realized that her father would not use her as a victim of his career progress, right? I don't feel sad when I think about it, my father used to be so loving, and my daughter's happiness used to be the most important thing she regarded, and he used to respect her ideas so much, and asked her daughter's opinion on everything, but now, my father has changed, and he is no longer the father he respected and trusted, and he has become unreasonable to her, and makes her feel so strange.
"Dad, you are not false at all, I just want to tell you that you know best about my marriage with Zhanrong, and your feelings between the two of us, so I don't need to say more. I have already decided that he is impossible to marry someone else in this life, and I hope you can fulfill us. Xuanya also aired out her own thoughts.
"Impossible! I will never agree to the marriage of the two of you, now your identity is the daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and it is the family of the eunuch, what is he, he is just a poor boy! At the bottom of society, you two are not in the right household, there is a world of difference at all, I will never allow my daughter to marry a poor boy, that would be unfair to you!
King Liang once came, deliberately for the marriage of his son Yuanyu, and his son saw you that day
, I was deeply attracted to you and fell in love with you at first sight. I want to marry you.
The king of Liang is the emperor's own brother, the body of the emperor's relatives, and he can be a son of Yuanyu, and he is very fond of him, if you marry his son, then you will enjoy endless glory and wealth, and your life will be like being in that honey pot. Then there is no end to happiness!" Lao Xuan comforted hard, hoping that her daughter could think clearly.
After hearing this, Xuan Ya knew that her father was going to marry him to the son of the king of Liang, and that day the king of Liang came to visit, and his son Yuanyu was behind him, and his eyes were staring at him fiercely, so obscene, disgusting, just like the beast.
She felt that this person was a little unbearable, he was a gentleman, his speech and demeanor were vulgar and indecent, as if he was extremely incommensurate with his noble status, she was extremely disgusted with this kind of official eunuch children, knowing that he must be a flower and grass, with a group of wives and concubines, and no single-mindedness in his feelings.
Her father asked her to marry this person, which was equivalent to pushing her daughter into the fire pit, which she never dreamed of, she recalled what she had just said about what she had just said, rising step by step, like a fish in water, and so on. He's a little too selfish!
"Father, you let the king of Liang die! I can't marry his playful son even if I die!" Xuanya's attitude was very resolute.
Lao Xuan said helplessly: "Child, I understand what you think in your heart, as we all know, this round jade is indeed a gentleman, pampered since childhood, so that King Liang is not good-looking, from my heart I don't want to!"
However, have you ever thought about it, people are royalty, what does King Liang want, and what can't he get? Do you think that if you reject him, our family will be fine? People must hold a grudge, although my father is an official of the imperial court, but in the eyes of others, he is nothing at all, and there is no excuse for the so-called crime that wants to be added, and people can find a reason to let our family die.
At that point, it will not be a question of whether you want to, but whether you will survive. Do we have the right to refuse? As the saying goes, those who know the times are those who are handsome, after all, this arm cannot twist the thigh, but the family is below one person and above ten thousand! This is just like the emperor choosing a concubine! Whoever dares to disobey the person who the emperor likes will not dare to borrow 10,000 guts! This round jade is no exception. I hope you can think this through. ”
Xuan Ya said indignantly: "Isn't there a royal law in the imperial court?"
"Child, the royal law was originally set by the imperial court and the emperor, do you still want to talk to the emperor's relatives about the royal law?" Lao Xuan persuaded bitterly.
After hearing this, Xuan Ya pondered for a moment, what her father said was not unreasonable, the power of Liang Wang Chitose was too great! If people want to kill a person, it is as easy as crushing an ant to death. Looking at his father's almost pleading expression, the white hair on his temples, and his waist a little hunchbacked, he thought about how much money his father had kowtowed to others in the past few decades in order to support his family.
Isn't it all for himself? Isn't it so that his daughter can live a good life and get rid of that miserable and poor life? But what have I done for this family over the years? Now my father's career is on the rise, as he said, there is no foundation and no connections, that
Why did he survive in this court of open and secret fighting, intrigue?
If he can marry a family with King Liang, then invisibly, he can find a huge foundation in the court. Then my father's career will be smooth sailing, and the sacrifices he made will be very worthwhile. Thinking of this, her heart softened again.
"Dad, don't say it again! I promise you! Just marry the son of King Naliang!" Xuan Ya's tone was extremely calm.
This was a big surprise to Lao Xuan, originally he thought that his daughter would definitely not allow it, but he never thought that he would agree so happily, he understood that his daughter was wronged, but there was no good way in the current situation. had to follow the wishes of King Liang and let his daughter marry his son.
With tears in her eyes, Lao Xuan choked up and said to her daughter: "Child, I have wronged you! Daddy is sorry for you!"
The father and daughter hid their faces and wept, their hearts aching.
After Yuanyu got the news that her dream lover Xuanya had agreed to marry her, the kid almost jumped up from the ground with no joy, and asked eagerly, "Father, when will you get married?"
King Liang saw that his son was so excited, and knew that this kid had real feelings for that Xuanya girl, and no beautiful woman had ever seen her so excited, "Look at you in a hurry! Look at your kid's point! Don't worry! I have arranged for many people to work on this matter, and I am in full swing of preparations." Your wedding day is scheduled for the eighth day of the next month. I have sent someone to the Holy Shrine, and I have informed the civil and military officials, and they will come to congratulate them one after another. ”
After hearing this, Yuan Yu could not hide his excitement and joy, and said excitedly: "Thank you father for accomplishing this! After the eldest marriage, the son will definitely study with peace of mind, practice martial arts, and live up to his father's hope for the child!" King Liang listened, but also greatly moved, he has never heard his son say such sensible words, he is always a little unbearable on weekdays, causing trouble everywhere, messing around, unreasonable, what he hopes most is that his baby bump can know the book and reason, understand the table, but it always backfires, never thought that this child today can say such a heart-warming topic, proving that his efforts to worry about it for this period of time are not in vain. King Liang even looked forward to that through this big wedding, the child could really become a responsible adult and change the child's temper. If that's the case, then you're on the right move.
The father and son chatted happily. Heart-to-heart chatting passionately.
That's the way it is, a few families are happy and a few are sad, some are so happy that they can't keep their mouths together, and some have to be frowning with sorrow. Xuanya has already agreed to her father, that is, she has recognized the marriage. Then the next question comes, how to talk to Zhanrong.
From her heart, she can't let go of him at all, in other words, in her mind, she can't tolerate a second man at all, she has a deep relationship with Zhanrong, in her heart, Zhanrong is already her husband, this big wedding or not is just a formality. Even if she goes to the Liang Palace, she is still in Cao Ying's heart in Han.
She was just worried that her lover would not be able to accept this reality and bear this blow, would he understand her difficulties and situation? She didn't dare to imagine what kind of reaction Zhanrong would have when she told him about this, and would she forgive herself? All these questions echoed in Xuanya's mind. While she was thinking, she ordered someone to arrange the carriage and horses, and hurriedly took the carriage to the big tree at the entrance of the village, she could think that her lover Zhanrong might be waiting for her under the big tree at this moment!
