Chapter 521: Growing Up (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"It's just that the emperor's grandson proposed marriage, and the Zhan family actually agreed!" Ying Sleeve heard the news and immediately went to find Xiao Lei.

"This is to see Zhan Suyue's reputation ruined, if I don't marry her and become a side concubine for my cousin, it is already the best way out." Xiao Lei stroked his chin and said thoughtfully.

His gaze was clear, and he sat behind the bookcase, his jaw square, and he did not look like a fifteen-year-old man.

Yingsleeve looked at Xiao Lei with emotion, and thought with satisfaction that this younger brother has really grown up, and he is no longer the "fool" who was full of fear of the outside world and refused to speak for a long time......

Looking at his broad shoulders and straight back, in a few years, he will be able to really be the backer of himself and his mother, and even put the burden of the entire Dongyuan Kingdom on his shoulders, he won't be unaffordable, right?

"Sister, what did my brother-in-law say?" Xiao Lei thought for a while, and raised his eyes to look at Yingsleeve.

Yingsleeve played with the ink jade paperweight on Xiao Lei's bookcase, smiled, and said, "Your brother-in-law reminded me that day, saying that the imperial grandson may have thoughts about the Zhan family. I thought what if he had an idea? Do you want the daughter of the Zhan family to be his concubine? ”

"Hehe, I didn't expect the Zhan family to really agree to let his concubine be his concubine, right?" Xiao Lei also smiled, leaned forward, and said in a low voice: "I thought of it, I still wanted to ......"

"What do you think?" Ying Sleeve raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Lei keenly, "Have you also made up your mind?" ”

Xiao Lei leaned back on the Taishi chair, stretched out a pair of long legs, put his arms on the back of the chair casually, and said calmly: "Sister, I'll be honest, don't blame me." ”

"You say. As long as it's the truth, my sister will not embarrass you. Yingsleeve also sat up straight, "What did you want?" ”

"I would have thought so. is also to marry Zhan Suyue as a side concubine. Xiao Lei lowered his eyes and looked at his hands.

He really thought about it, but he didn't know how to convince her sister, so he hesitated for two days, but he didn't expect the imperial grandson Yuan Yingjia to start immediately.

He is still a little tender, and he is not as decisive as Yuan Yingjia.

Xiao Lei clenched his fists and pursed his lips.

This is the last time. He lost to Yuan Yingjia.

"Do you want to marry Zhan Suyue as a side concubine?!" Yingsleeve's pupils shrank suddenly, "What do you mean?!" You don't know what she did, do you?! ”

"I know. So I didn't avoid her that day, but I didn't jump into the water to save her, because I didn't want her to be a concubine. Xiao Lei said calmly, "We need a fighter." So I think. It is most appropriate to let her be a side concubine. It's just that I didn't expect the imperial grandson to think of going with me. ”

Ying Sleeve became more and more angry when she heard this, glared at Xiao Lei and said, "Why do you think so?!" Marriage is a big event, how can you be so childish?! ”

"Sister, it's you who treat my marriage as a child's play." Xiao Lei looked at Yingsleeve for a while, and finally said it.

Yingsleeve's face became very ugly in an instant, as if his full of kindness was suddenly thrown back as a donkey's liver and lungs, and he was embarrassed by being slapped in the face.

She took a few deep breaths. His hands trembled and he looked at Xiao Lei, and his lips closed many times. Only then did he find his voice: "Xiao Lei, what do you mean?" Sister doesn't understand? Sister...... How can you take your marriage as a child's play? ”

Xiao Lei sighed, walked over from behind the bookcase, knelt down on one knee next to the circle chair where he sat with sleeves, held one of her hands, and said softly: "Sister, I know that you are good for me, and I also know what kind of wife you want me to marry, but have you thought about it, what are our identities?" What family background? What am I going to do, what am I going to be on, and what is my position? ”

Yingsleeve's hand was clenched into a fist, and he looked at the position in front of him where Xiao Lei was sitting just now, but now that position was empty, Xiao Lei was no longer sitting there.

She closed her eyes, swallowed hard, and said, "I still don't understand, haven't I been helping you?" Have you been paving the way to that location? ”

"Yes, but this time for me to choose a wife, did my sister really do this?" Xiao Lei's voice is very calm, much more mature than his age, and the calm and heavy voice makes Ying Sleeve very unfamiliar to hear.

"For the sake of your courtesy and the interests of the Yuan royal family, I chose a wife for you, may I ask what I did wrong?" Yingsleeve also calmed down, trying her best to restrain the uneasiness and sadness in her heart.

This is the younger brother who gave her the hope of life in the previous life, and she would rather sink to the bottom of the river, and the younger brother she carefully protected in this life, and the younger brother who would rather give her life than exchange him for survival.

actually said that she took his marriage as a child's play?

Xiao Lei leaned her hand on his face and said in a deep voice: "Sister, tell me, what do you have in mind when you choose a wife for me?" After a pause, he added, "Tell the truth." ”

Ying Sleeve raised her head, and the tears in her eyes forced back again, she said: "I wish to have one heart, and the white head will not be separated." -- Shouldn't it be true for a woman to choose a husband and a man to choose a wife? ”

Xiao Lei smiled, looked up at her, and said, "Sister, even if a woman chooses a husband, this is not the most important thing." Only sister, you are so stupid, do you think so? ”

Yingsleeve angrily withdrew his hand and said angrily, "You are stupid! When you choose a wife, shouldn't you find someone who can devote yourself wholeheartedly to you and live with Meimei for a lifetime?! ”

"Nope." Xiao Lei stood up, his eyes were calm, and his face was solemn, "Sister, my family affairs should first look at the other party's family background, whether it can help us." Secondly, depending on how to behave in the world, whether it is sleek and old-fashioned. Finally, depending on the character and appearance, whether it has to be worthy of the Yuan royal family. ――As for my sister's affection for each other, it shouldn't be something I need to consider at all. ”

Ying Sleeve turned his head to look at Xiao Lei, he didn't expect this younger brother to have such a practical and ruthless test in this matter.

"How could you think that? Haven't you ever thought about really finding a girl you love to spend your life with? Ying Sleeve also felt that her question seemed to be very stupid at this time, because she married a man she liked and loved her as a wife, did she think that other men thought the same?

Xiao Lei smiled slightly, walked back to the bookcase and sat down, "Sister, I won't hide it from you, I've figured it out these days." I do have a girl I really love. But I also know very well that she can't be a princess, let alone walk with me to that position. So, I never thought about marrying her. ”

He can bury this feeling in his heart and remember it silently.

Ying Sleeve understood Xiao Lei's thoughts a little at this time, but she still felt unacceptable.

Maybe she is too greedy, she hopes that Xiao Lei can get to that position, and at the same time, she also hopes that he can spend his life with the person he really loves.

She never thought about whether they were capable or not. Let Xiao Lei make this choice.

"Sister, we were originally later, and my cousin is already the emperor's grandson. The deceased queen has been in business for many years. How many family gates in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom actually watched the Northern Qi Dynasty act, how can we compare? We want to fight for that position, how can we make enemies on all sides for the position of a princess at this time? Xiao Lei's smile was even bigger. My princess and side concubine position. and all of them will be married. Sister, I know you don't like to see men take concubines, but I'm in the royal family, and I'm going to fight for that position, do you think I might not take a concubine? ”

Yingsleeve's mood was very complicated, she looked at Xiao Lei fixedly, and found that without her knowing, Xiao Lei had grown up. Not only has he grown up, but he has behaved in the world. It's completely different from her.

It's not bad.

Ying Sleeve clearly knew that Xiao Lei's approach was correct, what he should do in his position, and the best choice for the Yuan royal family.

"Sister, don't be sad. Brother-in-law will never take a concubine, you are the only one in your life, you can rest assured. If my brother-in-law has two hearts, even I won't agree. Xiao Lei saw that the expression on Yingsleeve's face was too stiff, and he also regretted it a little in his heart, he shouldn't have said these words to his sister so early, but it wouldn't work if he didn't say it.

For example, in the case of the Zhan family, if he had made his plans clear to his sister earlier, maybe they would not have lost this help early because of this.

The power of the fighters in the army should not be underestimated.

Xiao Lei knows that he is too young, his foundation is too shallow, Emperor Yuanhong is old, among the three marquis in the army, Tang Anhou must support the imperial grandson, Wanning Hou has remained neutral until now, and the imperial grandson must now have the support of the war, so the remaining Changxing Marquis Mansion is what he must strive for.

So even if Murong Zi is his stepdaughter, he must marry her.

It's an attitude, it's a guarantee.

Ying Sleeve slowly released the fist he was holding, put his fingers on the table one by one, looked at Xiao Lei's smiling face, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Lei, that position is very important, but is it worth it for your life of happiness?" ”

Xiao Lei raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "If I don't have that position, I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to live my life, so how can I say that I will be happy all my life?" ”

Yingsleeve stood up and was about to speak again, Xiao Lei also stood up, looked at Yingsleeve's back and said, "Brother-in-law, are you here to pick up my sister?" ”

Yingsleeve turned around and saw Xie Dongli standing at the door of Xiao Lei's study.

As soon as she saw Xie Dongxuan, Yingsleeve's grievances couldn't hold back any longer, she turned around and walked towards him, and when she walked to him, tears had already fallen.

Xie Dongli took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, glanced at Xiao Lei again, and said lightly: "Xiao Lei, what did you say to your sister?" ”

Xiao Lei hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law, I'll just tell the truth......"

Ying Sleeve woke up his nose, shook his head and said, "Don't blame him." ”

"You go back first. I have something to say to Xiao Lei. Xie Donglian's big hand pressed on Yingsleeve's shoulder, "I'll go back and have dinner with you in the evening." ”

Yingsleeve snorted, didn't look back, and left Xiao Lei's prince's mansion quickly.

Xie Dongli sat down where Yingsleeve was sitting just now, and beckoned to Xiao Lei, "Sit down, what happened just now?" He squinted at Xiao Lei, his expression was very unkind, "Can you make your sister cry, bold?" ”

Xiao Lei pursed his lips, returned to the bookcase and sat down, and said, "I'm telling my sister that she treats my family affairs as child's play......"

Xie Dongli smiled and shook his head, "Even if it is, you don't need to tell her." Men, you just have to take responsibility, why break your sister's heart? ”

Xiao Lei slammed his fist on the table, and said angrily: "It's just that imperial grandson who is to blame, he started so quickly!" ”

"For the sake of the Zhan family?" Xie Dongli looked back and said leisurely, "I'm also here to discuss this matter with you, your family affairs, what do you think." ”

"I originally wanted to marry Murong Zi as the main concubine, and Zhan Suyue and Tongde as the side concubines. Now Zhan Suyue is no longer good, as for Tongde, my sister will definitely oppose it vigorously after listening to what I just said, so it is imperative to set Murong Zi first. Xiao Lei said categorically, "We can't let the imperial grandson find an opportunity to marry Murong Zi as a side concubine." ”

Xie Dongli looked at Xiao Lei and thought deeply: "In your eyes, interests are the most important thing in your family affairs, right?" ”

Xiao Lei nodded heavily, "Exactly, because I'm not qualified to talk about anything else." ”

If he didn't have that position, his sister, his mother, including himself, and the people who were so attached to him, would all die without a place to bury.

So for him, he will take every opportunity and create conditions if there are no conditions.

As for family affairs, it is the easiest exchange of interests.

He doesn't give up what is most important to him for the sake of his own personal preferences.
