Chapter 480: It's better to forget about each other than to be in the rivers and lakes
"What else is there to think about? Miss Elena is a talented girl with both talent and beauty, isn't she worthy of you? The Great Elder said impatiently.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime good thing, Xiaobao, what are you hesitating about? Whether it is from your personal point of view or from the interests of the family, this is a good deal that only makes money and does not lose money, so let the family arrange it. The second elder followed.
The opinions of several elders coincided with Dad's thoughts for the first time, and they all agreed that this was a once-in-a-lifetime joy.
Xiaobao hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say anything, slowly raised his head, looked at Wang Shichang who was sitting on the main seat in the hall, bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "Father, can I think about this matter again?" I know that this matter is related to the future of our Wang family, but it is also related to my future, and I want to think about it again. ”
When Wang Shichang heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he nodded slightly, "Okay, then you go back and think about it, don't tell other clansmen about this matter first." ”
"Yes, I see, father." After Xiaobao finished speaking, he turned around and exited the conference hall.
In the evening, Xiaobao returned to the room, tossing and turning and unable to sleep, thinking of what his father talked about in the afternoon, Xiaobao's heart was inexplicably panicked.
Elena is indeed a well-known talented woman, whether it is beauty or talent, even compared with Yu Yan, it is not much better, but, after all, she is not familiar with Elena, and she has not had any contact before, two men and women who have never known each other. I haven't even met once, do you want to be so confused?
This somewhat made Xiaobao feel like a victim of family interests. I felt a little unhappy.
And more importantly, Xiaobao is very worried about Yu Yan's thoughts, although when Yu Yan is with her, she rarely talks about emotional things, but, judging from her usual performance, this little girl still has some feelings for herself. Girls are naturally jealous, if she knows that she has a marriage contract with another girl, I wonder if she will be very sad? Will you hate yourself?
"Knock knock... Knock knock knock ......" There was a sudden knock on the door. Xiaobao quickly retracted his messy thoughts.
"Xiaobao, are you sleeping?" Outside the door came my father's voice.
Xiaobao sighed lightly, got up and opened the door.
Looking at Xiaobao's sad face, Wang Shichang touched Xiaobao's head distressedly. "Father knows that you are worried about Yu Yan's girl. Although you never said it, but your father is a person from the past, and you can see that you and Yu Yan's girl have no guesses, and they are very close, and it is really difficult for you to give up such a good girl. ”
Listen to Wang Shichang's words. Xiaobao was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect it. My father had known about these things for a long time, but he hadn't interfered with them.
"Seriously, Yu Yan's girl is really good, every time I hear her call me Uncle Wang, the sweetness in my heart is really indescribable in words, sometimes, I am thinking, if you grow up in the future, if this little girl can become my Wang Shichang's daughter-in-law, how good it would be, when I dream, I will wake up with a smile." Wang Shichang patted his thigh, unable to suppress the emotions in his heart, and couldn't help but say.
When Xiaobao heard this, his little face suddenly turned red, and he looked at his father with some embarrassment, but he didn't say anything.
Wang Shichang said that he was happy, and laughed heartily a few times, but soon, his face suddenly became solemn again, he sighed helplessly, and his eyes fell on Xiaobao again, "Although the idea is very good, but it is not your father who hits you, this girl Yu Yan is not suitable for you, although Elena may not be your favorite, but, for our Wang family, this is a choice without choice, you also know the influence of the Haruman family in the empire, even the emperor has to respect him for three points, What's more, what about our little royal family? ”
"Xiaobao, I know that it is really difficult for you to give up Yu Yan for you, but, in the world, nine times out of ten it will not be satisfactory, many things cannot be perfect, in the face of family and love, you must give up one, but no matter which one it is, as long as you choose the path, your father will support you without hesitation, you think about it yourself, if you really don't want to accept it, then tell your father, and your father will help you carry it." Wang Shichang patted Xiaobao's immature little shoulder as he spoke, and comforted.
"Father..."Xiaobao was moved to tears and muttered.
"Some people have lived a lifetime, but they have not lived a complete day, I can't let this regret fall on you again, the matter of the four elders, you don't have to worry, father and I will fight for you." Wang Shichang sighed lightly and squeezed Xiaobao's shoulder and comforted.
Xiaobao choked up and was speechless, and the emotion in his heart made his vision gradually blur.
……
In the following days, Xiaobao's mood was very dull, he knew how much pressure this matter had on the family, the Haruman family was one of the three major families in the empire, far from being comparable to the Wang family, if the Haruman family was angry, if they wanted to destroy the Wang family, it would be an easy matter.
It's as simple as an elephant trying to trample an ant to death.
Thinking that the whole family might be wiped out because of himself, Xiaobao's heart was very uncomfortable, he didn't care about the life and death of other clansmen, after all, he was not a royal family in the real sense, but when he thought that his father and Yu Yan would also be implicated because of this matter, Xiaobao's heart was very sad.
In the evening, on the big bluestone in the mountain behind Wang's house, Xiaobao sat listlessly on it, sighed helplessly, and spit out the bitter dogtail grass in his mouth.
"It's better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes, little doll, you have to be ruthless when you should be ruthless!" At this time, the old man's voice came faintly from the ring, and the figure of the old man appeared in front of him ethereally.
"Teacher, what do you mean that it is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes?" Xiaobao looked at the elder pavilion puzzled and asked.
That is to say, two fish were washed up on the mudflat, and each other kept each other alive by spitting, but the saliva soon dried up, and gradually the two fish became more and more powerless, and finally died together on the mudflat.
It means that instead of dying helplessly together, it is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes at the beginning and live their own lives. Ge Lao raised his chin slightly, looked at the sky at forty-five degrees, and said as he looked at the bright crescent moon.
When Xiaobao heard this, he felt a burst of depression in his heart, it is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes, this sentence is simple to say, but how difficult is it to really do it?
"That little girl is empathetic, Bing Xue is smart, even when the whole family loses confidence in you, she still stays by your side, it can be seen that she understands you very well, you might as well tell her about this matter, I believe she will definitely understand your hardships and will not resent you." Ge Lao's gaze fell on Xiaobao's body again, and he persuaded patiently.
"But how can I tell her?" Xiaobao pursed his lips helplessly, and thought with a gloomy face.
……
In the conference hall, Wang Shichang's face was a little embarrassed, his eyes swept over the four elders on the side, and the faces of the four old guys were also extremely cold.
"Wang Shichang, you're not kidding, are you? Is this kind of thing a child's play? Not to mention the big clans, even ordinary civilians will not easily regret their marriage, let alone the Haruman family? If you do this, you will bring disaster to the Wang family. The Great Elder shouted emotionally.
"As the head of the clan, if you don't put the interests of the family in the most important position, then you should hand over the position of the patriarch as soon as possible, lest the Wang family be wiped out in your hands." The second elder also rebuked unceremoniously.
"Wang Shichang, you are not a two- or three-year-old child anymore, as the head of a clan, how can you go back on your word? Since you have agreed to Miss Sophia's request to talk to the media, how can you go back on it now? At that time, I am afraid that it will not only be the Harruman family that will be offended, but even the Wal-Mart family, you will also be offended, and you will offend the two big families at once, do you want to put our Wang family in a situation from which you will never recover? The third elder gritted his teeth and said, isn't this for his grandson to vent his evil anger.
"This matter is related to the rise and fall of our Wang family as a whole, and it is definitely not your Wang Shichang's business alone, this matter, you yourself say it and don't do it, our four elders have the right to reject your decision." The four elders followed.
According to the clan rules, although the patriarch is the highest decision-maker in the family, in order to prevent the patriarch from abusing his power, supervising and balancing the patriarch's authority, he set up the positions of the four elders under the patriarch, and when the patriarch's opinions are contrary to the four elders and are detrimental to the interests of the family, the four elders have the right to reject the patriarch's order.
Facing the collective attack of the four elders, Wang Shichang didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to snort coldly with hatred, got up and walked into the back hall.
……
A month later, the imperial capital of Françaine received a grand welcome ceremony.
The Imperial Army, which had just returned triumphantly from the northern Far Eastern steppe, ended a hundred years of suffering from the raids and invading of the northern barbarians.
In the Battle of the Far Eastern Prairie, the 300,000 Imperial Army, under the command of Generalissimo Belen, broke 150,000 barbarian cavalry, captured hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, and captured tens of thousands, including some young and beautiful barbarian girls.
The procession entered from the east gate of the city of France, along the Champs-Elysées, the most prosperous avenue in France, from east to west, through the Arc de Triomphe, towards the Place de la Victory.
The team with bright armor marched in unison, and amid the crazy screams of countless girls in the imperial capital and the whistles and cheers of the men, they took sonorous and powerful steps to accept the most glorious review. (To be continued......)
