Thinking of this, Liu Yan suddenly smiled: "Old man, are you looking for a son-in-law to find out the addiction? After Sister Yue'er got married, you set your sights on me again? What's the matter? You still want to find me a husband? Don't forget, Sister Yue'er's husband is still found by me!"

"Hahahaha, you girl is interesting, other girls don't talk about it like you even if they think about it. You're good, you're not ashamed......"

Hearing Huang Chengyan say this, Liu Yan's face didn't blush, but said happily: "Old man, others see me as a princess, even my teacher is not exempt from vulgarity, only you see that I am still a little girl, what can you say that I am a little girl who has no father and no mother?"

Huang Chengyan was stunned by what she said, and Pang Degong on the side hurriedly relieved the siege: "That's right! The girl is a dignified Jingzhou pastor, the princess of the Han Dynasty, this person has outstanding character and appearance, and there are many young talents who want to get close to you like a carp crossing the river, where do you need you, a bad old man, to find a husband for her? It's just a girl! If you want to find it, you must find our own people in Jingzhou! You must not find it outside!"

"I don't even have a choice, what else does Mr. say inside and outside, what young talents are as many as cattle, I'm afraid that there are more people who treat me like a tiger and wolf...... Luckily, I'm only twenty-eight, so I can wait, wait. Liu Yan said that she would wait a little longer, and her face was also casual, but she sighed again and again in her heart, and she couldn't afford to wait. Even if Cao Cao was busy, his advisors would remind him. With just one sentence, it is said that Jingzhou Mu is sixteen years old, and this sentence alone is enough.

Hearing her say this, Pang Degong exchanged a look with Huang Chengyan in private. Then Huang Chengyan said: "This is not your business alone, this is related to the future of Jingzhou, you have to think carefully, and you have to make a decision as much as possible." Because, you are sixteen years old, and time is running out. ”

"No way, who made me have no father and no mother?" Liu Yan sighed: "You only know how to urge me, but no one can make ideas for me." The two of you are well-connected with Mr. Shuijing, if you think you have a suitable candidate, go and tell my teacher, he is now in charge of me. Liu Yan said and looked in the direction of Xu Shu.

Xu Shu actually kept peeking at Liu Yan and looking at her cousin. At this time, the eyes of the two happened to meet, and the result was that they opened their eyes.

"Little girl, although the old man knows that this is not fair to you. However, since you are now the lord of Jingzhou, you must seek the welfare of the people of Jingzhou and put the well-being of the people first. Therefore, if the princess wants to choose his other half, he can only choose Jingzhou people, and he can't marry outside, and I hope the princess knows it. It's not difficult for strong people like us, it's really a reluctant request, please think twice about it. ”

Sima Hui's words were like a hammer hitting Liu Yan's heart, so that she couldn't help but look at this old man who had already had a gray beard with strange eyes. Whether it was Liu Biao, Liu Bei, or Cao Cao, these people wanted to ask him to go out of the mountain and serve them, but he was unwilling, preferring to live a hermit life without any quarrel with the world.

Shouldn't such a person not ask about the sufferings of the world and only know that he wants to live a leisurely life? Otherwise, he would have chosen a monarch who thinks he is wise and works for the welfare of the people of Jingzhou. I didn't stand up at that time, why did I stand up now? If you want me to be a little girl and take on such a big moral responsibility, are you fake, old man?

Receiving Liu Yan's strange eyes, Sima Hui immediately understood her thoughts. I saw him slowly stand up, and suddenly bent down to salute her: "In the name of the patriarch of the Sima clan, the villain is willing to take the Sima clan to show your allegiance!"

As soon as this sentence came out, Liu Yan only felt that her feet were shaking, and she didn't want to stand still at all, so she rushed straight in the direction of Sima Hui: "Mr. Shuijing, you, how are you, how can you say such strict words to me, I, I, I ......"

"Princess, Jingzhou is in your hands, it's only been a few years, but I see everything you have done for the people of Jingzhou, you are really thinking about the people and their well-being. Sima Hui sat back in his place with Liu Yan's support, but he grabbed Liu Yan's hand with his backhand: "If Her Royal Highness the Princess can keep this original intention unchanged, I am willing to support the family, I believe that you can rely on this people-oriented heart, start from Jingzhou, and bring your blessings to all the places you have been." ”

Seeing that everyone's eyes were once again focused on him because Sima Hui suddenly expressed his allegiance. Liu Yan's heart was unprecedentedly cold. She only felt a cold aura spreading from the soles of her feet to the tips of her hair, so cold that she felt shiver from the depths of her heart: "Mr. Shuijing has expressed his allegiance to me at this moment, but I am afraid that the price will not be small. And you say, "What do you want me to do?" Or what am I going to do to accept your allegiance?"

"The princess Bingxue is smart, and what the old man thinks in his heart has long been known by the princess. The princess is loved by the people of Jingzhou, and she should think about the people of Jingzhou and take the people of Jingzhou as the first consideration. Sima Hui still has this set of rhetoric.

But Liu Yan was clear at this time, and he already knew the meaning of his words, and the real meaning he wanted to express was that you are the pastor of Jingzhou, the princess of the Han Dynasty, and Jingzhou has given you supreme glory, so you have to be a screw tied to the big wheel of Jingzhou, just for the stability of Jingzhou, and you can't have an outside heart.

And the so-called interests of the people of Jingzhou, to put it bluntly, are actually just a pretext, and the real interests should be the interests of these real Dashi people in Jingzhou. As an invisible giant clan in Jingzhou, although no one serves in Jingzhou, there are countless protégés and former officials, and scholars can have a relationship with Sima clan, so in fact, Sima Hui said that he expressed his allegiance to Liu Yan, in fact, he was afraid that Liu Yan would leave in order to resist marriage, or fight with Cao Cao, which would affect the interests of Sima.

No wonder when Cai Mao sold Xiangyang, you didn't stand up and speak at all, when Liu Bei came to ask for talents, you didn't refuse, you are simply long-sleeved and good at dancing, you can't be offended on both sides, you have a hermit's score at home, as long as you can make a smooth transition, you are everyone's friend.

Now, I am the pastor of Jingzhou, although the defense line has been built on the Nanyang side, but if Cao Cao goes south, the geographical location of Xiangyang is too close to the front line, and the danger factor is very great, you are afraid that I will die and Cao Cao because of personal problems, and then damage the interests of your Sima clan. You simply used the allegiance of the clan as bait, tied me to death in Jingzhou, and made cattle and horses for you. First of all, my personal problems must be solved according to your wishes, otherwise it will not work.

Liu Yan thinks about the only advantage of her life compared to her previous life is that she will live longer in this life, but the quality of her life is like this. Those who like it don't like to be themselves, those who want to marry dare not marry, they can't get what they want, and they have to be tied to a huge carriage to do coolies. This day, no matter how you live, is bitter, and it has never been sweet. "Mr. Shuijing doesn't need to praise me like this, I can't afford to be praised. Liu Yan pretended not to understand.

Sima Hui pledged allegiance, and this influence was truly astonishing. The people present were all Jingzhou celebrities, people in the same circle. As soon as Sima Hui expressed his position, Pang Clan, Huang Clan, Yicheng Xiang Clan and other people who couldn't be named, and Liu Yan didn't know at all, came up one after another to show goodwill. Liu Yan waved her hand at them: "Today is an appointment with Mr. Shuijing, I thought I could relax and discuss some things, but I never thought that it was a job in the princess's mansion, and when I arrived at Mr. Sima's house, I was still entangled in business, it was really a luxury to relax for a moment." ”

"Your Royal Highness the Princess......" Sima Hui's old face was so embarrassed and embarrassed. Liu Yan had already seen through his selfishness, and lost his trust and respect for him: "What I can do for Jingzhou is not to marry outside, right? Okay, I agreed, you tell my teacher about the person you want me to marry, and he will find a way to communicate."

The three old men were really relieved, and they really secretly checked the young man who was suitable for marrying Liu Yan, and this young man must meet the following criteria, first, he must be a native of Jingzhou. Second, you must have your own reputation, not white. Third, this person must be recognized by Huang Chengyan, Sima Hui, and all the celebrities in Jingzhou who are here today, otherwise they have a thousand ways to force her to replace the candidate with someone they approve.

Come to think of it, what is the difference between this and being their puppets? No wonder it is said that the families are all cancers in the hearts of the rulers, and no matter how much benefit they have received from them, they will want to go back tenfold and hundredfold, and they will never suffer losses.

Unexpectedly, in the end, I still made a high-end decoration in the study, and became a marionette controlled by the family. I have personally experienced it, and I know that the reason why Sun is so hateful is not because he himself is not good, but because behind him is the Jiangdong Dashi clan, they praised him, of course, they also accused him, he wanted to reform, they didn't allow it, he ran away from the war, he wanted to dig a well to facilitate the people, but he needed their nod.

If she could, she would rather have her own free body than the joining of so many scholars, after all, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and when the casino is big, there will naturally be characters of three religions and nine streams. It's not what she wants to see, and it's not the life she wants. It's a pity that she is now also a fish on someone else's chopping board, to be slaughtered.

In this independent day, Liu Yan simply didn't want to stay here for a minute. Regardless of Sima Hui's repeated retention, he didn't care about all kinds of greetings from the enthusiastic brothers and sisters, and he didn't care about asking the teacher to go together, Liu Yan hurriedly arched her hand, saying that I still have something to do, and the soles of my feet were oiled, and the people had already arrived at the gate.

Sima Hui and the others saw that they had achieved their goal, so they naturally didn't say anything, Liu Yan almost ran away and returned home, leaving Xu Shu to talk to them, and he slipped away without saying a word, Xu Shu saw it in his eyes, but this time he didn't chase her, but let her leave.

Back at the princess's mansion, Liu Yan rushed into the study and sat in her place, she only felt the cold sweat on her forehead, and hurriedly ordered Yaoqin to prepare hot water for her to bathe. The person was immersed in the warm water, and he felt better, closed his eyes, and Sima Hui's words, Huang Chengyan's words, and Pang Degong's words scrolled repeatedly in her mind.

I really didn't expect that I thought that Ji Lu was just my own private matter, as long as I found the necessary characters according to the ancient etiquette, the others should not be important.

So, what kind of person does the other half of himself choose? Liu Yan was immersed in her own world for a long time and couldn't come back to her senses. She almost ranked the sons of a famous family like Jingzhou today, and transferred them over, but later found that it was not suitable for her to be with anyone.

Liu Yan was thinking about it, and Yaoqin's voice came outside: "Princess, this water is about to flood the house, what do you have to spend time thinking about, can you put it down first, the slave maid will change your clothes for you, clean up the bucket, serve you to rest, and then you can have no distractions." ”

Liu Yan didn't blush when she talked about personal problems, but when Yaoqin said this, she blushed: "Come in, I've finished washing." Yaoqin came in with a basin and her feet: "Be careful, the princess is careful, the ground is slippery, wait for the slave maid to clean up." ”

While speaking, she put down the things in her hand, wiped Liu Yan with a cloth towel to dry the water stains, put on her robe, and helped her to sit outside first. She went inside to clean up the mess.

Liu Yan rarely asks to be served so carefully, and usually she does things like bathing and dressing herself. Today, because of the confusion of thoughts and the time spent in the bath for too long, the guide is still a little vain and unfocused.

Being served so carefully by Yaoqin, Liu Yan's thoughts wandered. If you really want to work for the welfare of the people and the well-being of the people of Jingzhou, you can't be fooled by a family head like Sima Hui, you must insist on your own heart unwaveringly, and you can't forget how you originally sat in the position of Jingzhou pastor just to do things for them.

Liu Yan made up her mind, and she was grateful to Xu Shu in her heart. If he hadn't said that he hoped that they would go to the tea party organized by Sima Hui as a master and apprentice today, she would not have had a chance to see through these many things, and she would always think that Sima Hui was her great benefactor and a good person who fulfilled her wish to apprentice.

In fact, the leaders of these families are all the same, and they will do whatever it takes to protect the interests of their families. Therefore, the world's corporal clan is generally black, and a father like Huang Chengyan who is willing to treat his family as his daughter's marriage is simply cherishing animals, and for the sake of family interests, regardless of his daughter's lifelong happiness, it is normal to match his daughter to the powerful as a concubine and a flat wife.

Liu Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and muttered to herself in her heart, it turns out that what my father did in my previous life is in line with common sense, and it is the most normal decision in the eyes of others. It's no wonder that I didn't have a way to live in my last life! It's not that I was blind when I was reincarnated, people in this circle basically have such values, how do you tell me to polish my eyes, how can I have a way to live? )
