Chapter 136: I'll Marry
After settling Bai Yichuan and his wife, Zhou Jianxiong and Zhou Guangxun came to Zhou Xiya's room, saw that their daughter was directing the slave maid in the house to arrange the food and lodging of a little doll, and walked over and touched the child's head, "Where is the child?" ”
"The child rescued by Li Mu and I has been regarded as our own child, call her Xian'er, come to Xian'er, and see my grandfather." Zhou Xiya held the child and held the child's little hand to her father.
The little doll smiled at Zhou Jianxiong, this child was raised by Zhou Xiya for nothing and was chubby, and he was no stranger to people at all, Zhou Xiya was now taking care of this child in addition to being busy with Li Mu's business.
"Since you like it, keep it." Zhou Jianxiong sighed, he didn't want to force his daughter, let her be, as long as she was happy.
Zhou Xiya asked the child to be taken down to sleep, so that she had time to talk to her father.
"Your complexion is not good, but your body is fine, since you have returned to the capital, everything is a father, you take good care of your body, don't leave any hidden dangers." Zhou Jianxiong glanced at his daughter's face distressedly.
"I know, don't worry, Dad, I know the severity."
"I won't say anything else, I know you're sad about Li Mu's matter, but he is dead, your life is still very long, Dad hopes that you can get out of this relationship as soon as possible, Dad hopes that your life will be fulfilled, so that your mother can rest assured." Zhou Jianxiong doesn't want his daughter to live like this for the rest of his life.
Zhou Xiya was silent.
"Xun'er, tell this girl what you just told me." Zhou Jianxiong suddenly spoke.
Zhou Guangxun looked at his second uncle and saw the second uncle nodding. I had to speak: "Li Mu died, the matter of his property being in charge of his sister has been known by several major families, they have united and begun to coerce the Zhou family to hand over a part of Li Mu's property, the people of the Zhou family did not agree, during this time they have begun to suppress the people of the Zhou family, many people in the clan have been suppressed by their official positions openly and secretly, the situation is not very good, the Zhou family can fight against one family, two or three, but they can't resist the pressure of several families." ”
Zhou Xiya looked at her father and brother, the situation was so serious?
"Daddy. What do you mean? Let me hand over Li Mu's property? Zhou Xiya asked.
"Naturally not. No one has ever been able to persecute me Zhou Jianxiong, they want to suppress my Zhou family, it's not so easy, the Zhou family has a hole card to settle down. No one wants to move the Zhou family. Otherwise, it will be a fish and a dead net. This time, in order to protect Li Mu's industry, the Zhou family spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and the patriarch passed the word. I hope you can hand over Li Mu's property to the clan. Zhou Jianxiong didn't hide it from his daughter, this matter still needs his daughter to make her own decisions, and he is also very helpless about the affairs of the clan, he can't let the clan contribute money and efforts, but the benefits are for them to get this house.
Zhou Xiya clenched her fingers, thinking in her heart, she knew that wealth was moving, but she didn't expect that there would be so much pressure at home.
"The murder of Li Mu has been investigated clearly, and it was Xiao Ruiqing, the eldest son of the Xiao family, and Xiao Yanqing, the third son, who joined forces with the Wang family to get rid of Li Mu and annex his property." Zhou Guangxun continued.
Zhou Xiya was full of resentment, and she wanted to kill those two, but what should she do.
"You have a good rest, Dad told you about this, just to let you thank you, as for how to decide, Dad respects your choice, don't put so much pressure on yourself." Xiao Jingqing patted his daughter's head and left with his nephew.
Zhou Xiya stood in front of the window, looking at the full moon outside, "Li Mu, is it true that I can't keep my hard work?" ”
Early in the morning of the second day, Zhou Xiya was going to go to the Bai family with her uncle, but when she walked to the gate of the mansion and listened to the little maid report that Xiao Houye and Xiao Jingqing were coming, she thought about it in her heart and decided not to go to the Bai family first to see what the two were doing.
Father and brother entertained Marquis Xiao, and Zhou Xiya listened to what they had to say at the back of the main hall.
"Brother Xiao, why did you come to my house early in the morning, but what's the matter?" Xiao Jingqing invited the two to sit down.
"I know that you are busy with military affairs, so I came over early in the morning, so as not to come to the house and walk away, I heard that my niece is back, on the way to the capital, I have seen my niece and I like her very much, you have raised your daughter very well, when I set off again, she was not very well, but now she is better." Marquis Xiao smiled heartily.
"It's much better, it's okay now, I haven't thanked you properly, if it weren't for your Xiao family, that girl in my family wouldn't know what would have happened?" Zhou Jianxiong has something to say.
"You have two baby daughters, one is now in the palace with unlimited scenery, this concubine is still famous and has no owner, don't blame me for being wide, my niece has reached the age of leaving the cabinet, I don't know what her marriage can do, it is better to recommend one for your brother." Marquis Xiao said the purpose of this time.
What his son did, he naturally knew that putting pressure on the Zhou family might turn bad things into good things, and he still hoped that he could connect with the Zhou family, so that his big things would be more hopeful.
"I don't know who Brother Xiao recommends?" Zhou Jianxiong asked rhetorically.
"Hahaha...... We don't talk darkly, what do you think of this son of mine? This child is infatuated with his niece, there are others in his niece's heart in the previous life, my son is not good at forcing it, and now that Li Mu is dead, it can be seen that the niece and my son still have fate. Xiao Houye glanced at Xiao Jingqing.
"Uncle Zhou, I am sincere to Xiya, I will treat her well, be good to her for the rest of my life, please Uncle Zhou rest assured to hand over Xiya to me." Xiao Jingqing stood up and promised.
Zhou Jianxiong picked up the teacup and looked at the tea leaves floating inside, "Are you forcing me?" ”
"How could Brother Xian say such a thing, how dare Brother Brother force you?" Marquis Xiao snorted haha.
"Don't you dare? Then what do you mean by the Xiao family killing my son-in-law, robbing my son-in-law's property, and suppressing my Zhou family? Zhou Jianxiong put the teacup on the table heavily, he was not afraid of tearing his face.
"Brother Xian misunderstood, Li Mu's matter, I won't hide it from you, it is indeed my eldest son who did something wrong, my father apologizes to you on his behalf, but this matter is different, as long as the niece marries Jing Qing, so the two families become in-laws, and they speak the same voice. There won't be so much trouble. Marquis Xiao's expression remained unchanged, not afraid of Zhou Jianxiong's anger at all.
"Don't think about this matter, if I, Zhou Jianxiong, don't come and be persecuted by others, I will never marry my daughter into your family." Zhou Jianxiong stood up and flicked his sleeves, he was very annoyed, he hated others for calculating his daughter the most.
"Zhou Jianxiong, I tell you in a good voice, don't think I'm afraid of you, okay, I'll say it here, except for my son. I'll see who can marry your daughter. "Marquis Xiao's anger has also risen. This Zhou Jianxiong really doesn't know what to do.
"What's the matter, Marquis Xiao wants to meet me in battle, yes, I want to see. Your soldiers are strong. It's still my fierceness. Zhou Jianhe and Marquis Xiao looked at each other. The eyes of the two burst with fire.
Zhou Guangxun and Xiao Jingqing hurriedly persuaded to fight, or the two people who were about to be 100 years old together would really fight.
Zhou Xiya, who was standing behind, clenched her fists, she didn't want to receive reproach from others because of her father. I don't want to affect the family, and she wants to avenge Li Mu, okay, don't you want to marry her, then she will marry the Xiao family and turn the Xiao family upside down.
"Don't quarrel, I'll marry" Zhou Xiya walked out from behind.
"Xiya...... Little sister" Zhou Jianxiong and Zhou Guangxun looked at Zhou Xiya in disbelief, why did she come out.
"Dad, my daughter has decided, marry Xiao Jingqing, please ask my father to agree." Zhou Xiya walked to her father's side, looked at her father, and said solemnly.
"I don't agree, Xiya, Dad told you, no one can force you to marry, you don't have to marry them because of the Xiao family, if you don't do it, Dad will fight to the death." Zhou Jianxiong stopped his daughter behind him and looked at Marquis Xiao, "Please leave, the Zhou family does not welcome you"
"Daddy... Dad, since you said to respect my choice, then this is my choice, I know that you are for my good, I know what I should do, please Dad fulfill his daughter. Zhou Xiya grabbed Zhou Jianxiong's clothes and knelt on the ground.
"Xiya, you won't be happy if you are forced to marry like this." Zhou Jianxiong was very distressed, his daughter was going to jump into the fire pit.
"Please believe that my daughter can live a good life, this is my own choice, I will not regret it." Zhou Xiya looked at her father very firmly.
Zhou Jianxiong looked at his daughter, and felt in his heart, this is his most precious daughter, how could he be willing to force her, but now......
Zhou Xiya got up and looked at Marquis Xiao's father and son, "Uncle Xiao, Young Master Xiao, didn't you let me enter the Xiao family, yes, but I have three requirements, as long as you can promise me, I will marry Xiao Jingqing." ”
"My niece is happy, you said, as long as the Xiao family can do it, we will definitely agree." Marquis Xiao touched his beard, he was very proud, he didn't expect today's matter to be so easy.
"First, no one is allowed to move Li Mu's industry, and I will continue to operate it in the future, his industry has nothing to do with the Xiao family, second, I have a child with Li Mu, I want to marry into the Xiao family with the child, and I hope that the people of the Xiao family will treat her well, third, although I did not enter the Li family, but I also made a marriage contract with Li Mu, he is dead now, I, the surviving person, will give him filial piety for three years, these three years I and Xiao Jingqing are only nominal husband and wife, I will do what a wife should do, but it is not the same room, just these three, if I can agree, I will marry, If you can't agree, the marriage will not be discussed. ”
"Niece of the world, your request is a bit excessive" Marquis Xiao was dissatisfied, what kind of request is this, is it possible that his son wants to marry back a furnishing.
"Dad" Xiao Jingqing stopped his father and looked at Zhou Xiya, "I promise, I agree to your conditions." ”
"Jingqing!" Xiao Houye glared at his own life, what kind of breaking conditions, how could he agree.
"I like Xiya, I will naturally accept everything about her, I respect her choice, please agree with my father." Xiao Jingqing asked his father to agree.
"Okay" Marquis Xiao was a little reluctant, but after thinking about it, now that the money is in Zhou Xiya's hands, in the future, if his son suffers, can Zhou Xiya really not take it out? And who inherits the money in the future, it is not a child for his son, as long as it falls into the hands of his own child, he doesn't care about anything else, as for that child, he still knows something, it doesn't matter if he is an orphan, as for the last one, there is a long-term love between men and women, his son is so good, Zhou Xiya can really not look down on his son for the rest of his life.
"Uncle Zhou, this matter should be sooner rather than later, it just so happens that my father and I are in the capital, this marriage is scheduled for a month later, I will marry Xiya and enter the door, and I will take her to Yingtian after marriage." Xiao Jingqing decided on the wedding date.
"No, I don't worry about Xiya, it's okay to get married, but after marriage, Xiya wants to stay in the capital, so I'll ask for this one." Zhou Jianxiong blocked.
"This?" Xiao Jingqing looked at Zhou Xiya in embarrassment, he couldn't always stay in the capital, if he was separated from the two places, how could he cultivate feelings.
"Dad, the daughter also wants to be filial by her father's side, so the daughter assures her father that every two years, I will go home and live for half a year, how about staying by my father's side." Zhou Xiya thought about it and said, she still wants to avenge Li Mu, and when she takes revenge, she will return to the capital to fulfill her filial piety.
"Uncle Zhou, I will accompany Xiya back" Xiao Jingqing also helped to speak.
"Okay," Zhou Jianxiong had no choice but to nod.
After the Xiao family's father and son left, Zhou Jianxiong directly grabbed his daughter, "Tell my father, why do you want to marry Xiao Jingqing?" ”
"I want to avenge Li Mu, and I want to turn the Xiao family upside down" Zhou Xiya's eyes were full of hatred.
"Dad doesn't agree, Dad doesn't want you to marry with hatred, Dad wants you to be happy." Zhou Jianxiong's eyes were full of pain.
"Dad, no matter what purpose I am marrying, you have to believe in my daughter, my daughter can live a good life, and Xiao Jingqing likes me, he will treat me well, maybe my daughter will never find someone better than him in her life, marrying you is not marrying, my daughter will marry sooner or later, this may be my daughter's life, please don't worry, I will try my best to make myself happy." Zhou Xiya is not only persuading her father, but also persuading herself.
said that it was easy to marry Xiao Jingqing, but she was also sad in her heart, she was sorry for Li Mu and Xiao Jingqing.
"Alas", Zhou Jianxiong didn't know how to persuade his daughter.
After watching his daughter go out, Zhou Jianxiong said to Zhou Guangxun: "Xiaoya has a good relationship with your daughter-in-law, let your daughter-in-law persuade her that getting married is a major event in a lifetime, and you can't make a decision so hastily." ”
Zhou Guangxun nodded, he didn't think that Xiaomei's decision was right.
The marriage between the Xiao family and the Zhou family was quickly worn out, and it can be said that the marriage of these two families will be even more unstoppable in the future.
Because the wedding was to be held in the capital, the people of the Xiao family went around buying valuable things to prepare for the dowry.
Time is tight, many rules are directly saved, do not get engaged and get married directly, Nacai, ask for names, Najib, Najib, Nazheng, and ask for time are all stepped up, and it is good to welcome relatives after a month.
Ten days later, on the day when the Xiao family gave a big gift, at this time, it was seen that the Xiao family's family was at home, two people carried a dowry, a hundred people came, and fifty boxes of dowry came, which shocked the entire capital, that is, to take a queen, and that's it.
The Zhou family gathered a lot of people to come to see the dowry, and the people of the Zhou family's clan and mother family came to help with the marriage, and the entire capital was paying attention to the wedding.
In the palace, Zhou Xiwan threw the teacup in her hand on the ground, "It's really hateful"
"Don't be angry, the slave maid has heard that His Majesty is very unhappy about the marriage of Xiao Zhou's two families, look at it, this marriage is good, this is not a good thing in the future, it will make them happy and sad." Mama said with a smile.
"Huh, huh? Then Bengong is waiting to see, by the way, what has Dugu Jin been doing lately? Zhou Xiwan thought of someone.
"You said General Dugu, since General Dugu was reactivated by His Majesty, he went to the army, and he should be training the army."
"Send him a message, happy events, naturally the more people there are, the more lively they are, and this palace is not afraid of big things." Zhou Xiwan smiled evilly.
"Yes, slave and maid will send someone" (to be continued......
