Chapter 169: Isn't it too direct?
"Hehe, it's good to come back, it's good to come back! Sit it all! The old man sat up and looked at Xia Qingge, "Finally figured it out?" ”
Xia Qingge hurriedly said, "Grandpa, I didn't ...... I came back this time ......"
Old Lady Xia's voice cooled down, "Light song, don't say it!" I know what you want to say, you should know that no one can change what I have set! ”
Xiao Yun cleared his throat, "Old man, can you listen to me?" ”
"This is ......" Old Lady Xia didn't really fall asleep, but kept squinting, and as soon as Xiao Yun came in, he noticed him.
"Dad! This is Qingge's friend, Xiao Yun! Xia Zhengling hurriedly introduced.
Old lady Xia said, "Xiao Yun? Whose son is it? Why haven't you heard of it? ”
Xia Qingge said: "Grandpa, Xiao Yun is not a child of a family, nor is he from our Yangcheng, he is a coastal person. ”
"Marina? I see! ”
Old Lady Xia did not hide her contemptuous tone, "Xiao Yun Xiaoyou, the old man advises you, Qingge is from my Xia family, not something you can have, you don't have to fight her idea." The marriage between Qingge and the Li family cannot be changed! You can die of this heart. If you are short of money, the Xia family can give it to you, as long as you leave Qingge, it doesn't matter how much money you have! ”
Binhai is the place where Xia Qingge became famous, and it is also the place where he lives now. At this time, bring an outsider from Binhai to see his old lady, what does this mean, Old Lady Xia is old and refined, how can there be a reason not to understand?
Xiao Yun smiled, "Old man, did you say the same thing to Qingge's first boyfriend back then?" ”
"So what?" Old Lady Xia glanced at Xia Qingge and asked coldly.
Xiao Yun didn't answer his question directly, but smiled: "If I'm not wrong!" Of all your grandchildren, the one you love the most is probably the light song! ”
"That's natural, Qingge has been well-behaved, smart and obedient since he was a child, no matter what he learns, he will learn it as soon as he learns, and no one else is more worry-free than Qingge." Although his position is different from Xiao Yun's, when it comes to this, Old Lady Xia still can't hide his loving color.
Xiao Yun said: "Yes! Qingge also understands this, I heard that your health is not very good, Qingge got off the plane, and the stool came to see you before it was hot. ”
"Good! Good! Or Qingge knows filial piety! "Old lady Xia is always happy.
Xiao Yun's words changed, "But, old man, do you really want to let your favorite granddaughter live in pain for the rest of your life?" ”
"What do you say? Am I doing it for my own selfishness? You say, "What do you mean me for my own selfishness?" Old lady Xia was furious when she heard this.
Xia Qingge's heart rose, how could Xiao Yun talk like this? What are the benefits of off the old man?
Xia Zhengling's heart relaxed slightly. It is not difficult to see that now that his old man's joy and anger have been mastered by Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun can make him happy with a word, and he can make him angry with a word, maybe he can really create a miracle.
Xiao Yun said: "Isn't it? The marriage of a big family should be based on interests, I understand. However, this does not mean that happiness must be abandoned. Only when interests and happiness cannot be obtained at the same time, it is necessary to sacrifice happiness for benefits. As far as I know, the Xia family has not reached the point where Qingge cannot be maintained without marrying into the Li family, and Qingge's marriage into the Li family can certainly make the Xia family more prosperous, but if he does not marry, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. In the final analysis, marrying the Li family is just dispensable, but you still insist on doing this, you must give up Qingge's happiness to ensure the interests of the Xia family, isn't this for your own selfishness? ”
Old Lady Xia said angrily: "What do you know about this kid? Governing a family is like governing a country, in history, which dynasty and generation did not have a relationship with relatives? Zhaojun is out of the plug, and Wencheng and his relatives are all rumored to be beautiful for the ages. Li Qingfeng is first-class in terms of talent and family background, why can't Qingge get married? Why do you say that light songs will not be happy? Could it be that she would be happy if she married a poor boy? ”
"But Qingge doesn't like it! How can you be happy living with someone you don't like? ”
Old Lady Xia said contemptuously: "Do you know what it means to like it or not? Even if you don't like it at first, after a long time, you will like it. Aren't Qingge's parents the same? At first, they didn't even know anyone, but now they are living well? Feelings are also good? ”
"If the old man said that......" Xiao Yun suddenly smiled, "It seems that the problem is not with Qingge, but with the Xia family!" And it's not a small problem! ”
Old Lady Xia's face changed obviously, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Xiao Yun smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Qingge has left home and hasn't returned for several years, there are some situations that you don't know, but you should know it." The Xia family is already in crisis, even if it is not in front of them, but the hidden dangers should not be underestimated. ”
As soon as he said this, Xia Zhengling and Old Lady Xia couldn't help but look at him together, and the shock in their eyes couldn't be concealed-this man, what did he know?
Xiao Yun said: "A big family, if you talk about long-term worries, it is better than having no successor. If that's the case, old man, I can tell you unequivocally that your path won't work! Even if Qingge marries into the Li family, it will not bring a way out for the Xia family! ”
Old lady Xia said angrily: "My Xia family Ding is prosperous, why do you say that my Xia family has no successor?" ”
Xiao Yun said: "Someone does not mean that there are talents!"
As you said, in history, there were indeed Wen Cheng and Qin, and Zhaojun went out of the fortress. Under what circumstances was that? It was a strategy that was come up when there was no talent and no strength to resist the opponent's attack. Moreover, what about the results of harmony?
Princess Wencheng and her pro-Tubo brought a large number of retinues, advanced technology and culture, but they raised a group of white-eyed wolves back! Zhaojun came out of the fortress, and the ending was just the soul of the moon and night, and the Han nation and the Xiongnu could not coexist after all. And who among them has really considered the happiness of Princess Wencheng and Zhaojun?
How similar is the situation of the Xia family now to that time? Since the old man down, although there are many Xia families, but none of them are talented, the Xia family has a big business, if no one has enough talent to control this qiē, the consequences are not difficult to imagine. This is the big trouble in your heart, old man!
But now, instead of trying to improve himself, the old man expects his most beloved granddaughter to sacrifice her body to save the future of the entire family!
In my opinion, the reason why you insist on doing this is just because you have been disappointed in your children and grandchildren, thinking that the men of the Xia family are no longer able to support this family and have to rely on this method to maintain it, I really feel a little sad for the men of the Xia family! ”
Xia Zhengling's heart was beating suddenly, he was the head of the Xia family, so he naturally understood that Xiao Yun's words were to the point, but was it too direct to say it to the old man so bluntly?
Unexpectedly, instead of getting angry, Old Lady Xia suddenly smiled, "So, you came this time not to pursue Qingge, but to persuade me to break the marriage contract for her?" ”
Xiao Yun was stunned, he originally despised this old lady a little, although this old lady controlled such a big family, but compared to Tang Jun, it was too far behind. If nothing else, at least Xiao Yun could see his thoughts at a glance, otherwise he wouldn't be able to say the words just now.
But after this old lady smiled lightly, Xiao Yun's thoughts suddenly couldn't be seen clearly.
I can see the idea clearly, but I can't see it clearly. What's going on?
However, despite such a change, Xiao Yun did not show the slightest expression on his face, and said, "Not bad! ”
Old Lady Xia asked, "What's in it for you?" ”
"The advantage is that it can ensure the safety of Qingge!"
"Safety? I don't understand. ”
Xiao Yun said: "As a southern clan, you must have heard that Hongmen's dragon head staff is gone!" ”
"Yes, I know about this, but what does this have to do with Qingge?"
Xiao Yun said: "Hongmen's dragon head staff is gone, and there will definitely be a dirty conflict with the Qing faction in the near future, so the coastal sea, which is the dividing line between the north and the south, will definitely be mixed with dragons and snakes." And Qingge is going to hold a concert in Binhai because of the marriage contract in this case, so do you think Qingge's safety will be guaranteed? ”
Old Lady Xia looked at Xiao Yun and asked with a smile, "So you're here?" ”
Xiao Yun said: "I agreed with Qingge that as long as I can break the marriage contract for her, she will not hold a concert." She went back to Yangcheng because of the agreement with me, and I will do it for her! ”
"What if I don't say yes?"
"I'll take her away, and I'll help her do her concert!"
Old Lady Xia sneered: "I'm afraid she won't be able to leave, don't forget, now she is in Yangcheng!" In Yangcheng, there is nothing that our Xia family can't do! ”
Xiao Yun said: "Please don't forget, old man, I'm Xiao Yun!" If I want to do it, there's nothing I Xiao Yun can't do! ”
Xia Qingge was excited in his heart, there were a few people who dared to speak to his grandfather like this, even if it was his father, the head of the Xia family, he was also cautious when he saw his grandfather.
Xia Zhengling and his wife looked at the two with worried faces, for fear that the two would really quarrel.
Old lady Xia looked at Xiao Yun, but suddenly smiled, and said to Xia Zhengling and his wife: "You two, as well as Xiao Yun's boy, go out, I have a few words, I want to say it to Qingge alone!" ”
Seeing that Xiao Yun was a little puzzled, Old Lady Xia smiled and said, "If I say a word to my granddaughter alone, you won't object, right?" ”
What is he trying to do? However, he couldn't see through his thoughts, but he had no other way, so he had to walk out with Xia Zhengling and his wife.
Seeing Xiao Yun and the others walk out of the room, Old Lady Xia pointed to the seat next to him, "Come, Qingge, sit here." ”
Xia Qingge sat down and called out with an aggrieved face, "Grandpa." ”
Old lady Xia looked at Xia Qingge and stroked her long hair lovingly, "Qingge, you must be quite resentful of me, an old man!" Back then, the two of you were torn apart. ”
Xia Qingge lowered his head and said softly: "No! ”
Old lady Xia smiled bitterly and said, "Don't lie to me, your expression tells me what you think!" That's your first love! First love is hard to forget. But I can sue you that if I had to do it again, I would still do it, and that the man who was willing to abandon you for money was not worthy of you. ”
Xia Qingge didn't speak, but he had mixed feelings in his heart.
Old Lady Xia smiled and said, "Do you see it?" This young man named Xiao Yun reacted completely differently from the one you had when facing the same problem! ”
Xia Qingge looked at his grandfather and didn't understand what he wanted to say.
"Son, you say, he's from the sea? Are you really just regular friends? ”
"Hmm!" Xia Qingge nodded vigorously.
Old lady Xia glanced at her with some confusion, he knew his granddaughter too well, how could he take such a big risk to return to Yangcheng because of an ordinary friend? "Really? ...... between you and him"
Xia Qingge hurriedly said: "Grandpa, there is really nothing between me and him!" ”
Old Lady Xia glanced at her meaningfully, no longer pursued this question, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Child, do you know? That's right, although our Xia family seems to be prosperous on the surface, it is actually really in crisis. ”
"Huh?" Xia Qingge glanced at his grandfather. When Mrs. Xia was talking here, she seemed to be ten years old, which made Xia Qingge's heart sour-grandpa was the pillar of the family, how much pressure did he bear in order to support this family?
Old Lady Xia sighed: "Your father is more than successful, but not enough to pioneer, not to mention your uncles, typical gentlemen." In your generation, Xia Mingyang, who has high hopes, is a typical playboy and can't become a big deal. Your personality is good, but you're a girl...... If there is a big Xia family, there is not even a talent who can take the lead, sad!
People have no foresight, but there must be near-term worries, let alone a family? Therefore, for the sake of the family's long-term plans, I determined that the development direction of the Xia family in the next few decades is to unite with the Li family. You are the eldest daughter of the third generation of the Xia family, and Li Qingfeng is the eldest son of the three generations of the Li family. For decades, the Xia family will not even have a talent! That's what I was going to do back then.
Maybe I used too drastic tactics in that incident, but it's over. It is pointless to pursue who is right and who is wrong.
At that time, you ran away alone in a fit of rage, swearing never to be involved with the Xia family again, although I was also very angry, but I didn't stop you stiffly. The edge of the sword is sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. At that time, you were still young, and it might not be a bad thing to suffer a little, you know? I have always pinned the future and hope of the Xia family on you, and over the years, you have matured a lot, and I am very happy.
I'm old, and I don't have a few years to live. When I was here, I could still hold down your uncles and aunts, but once I was gone...... With their temperament, our family may really be torn apart.
Today, I left you behind for the sake of the future of the Xia family, and I propose this matter to you again, can you really bear to watch our Xia family split step by step?
I won't force you, anyway, there are still a few days to go, you should think about it!
If you agree, then things will continue at the same pace, and if you still don't...... Then the Xia family, just leave it to fate! ”
