Chapter 200: Guarantees
He couldn't get used to the relationship between Li Xiaoran and Xiang Shijie here, and while talking to her, Xiang Shijie observed him with the corner of his eye, and an unprecedented crisis arose in his heart, feeling that this old man must have bad intentions towards Ran'er, otherwise, why would he stay by his side and refuse to leave.
If Wu Chen knew that he was crowned an old man by Xiang Shijie, I don't know if he would shoot the case, and then beat him up. In his heart, he is only twenty-two years old, which is a good time, and he is old before he gets married.
The beauties in his backyard have long been automatically ignored by him, but they are just playthings, and they are two concepts with his wife.
After a while, Li Xuesi came back, he went to inquire about the news of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the news he got was very bad, he returned to the inn with a solemn face, and saw Xiang Shijie talking happily with his sister, looking at Ran Er with tender eyes, the fire in his heart rose suddenly, walked a few steps quickly, stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar, picked him up, gritted his teeth and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Xiang Shijie was originally sitting facing the door, but when he looked up and saw Li Xuesi coming in, he smiled and said, "Your little brother is back." Before he could finish speaking, he saw Li Xuesi's face change and pulled him up, he only said "Xuesi...... and swallowed back the rest of the words, and exclaimed: "Xuesi, what's wrong with you...... We, we just met, I didn't offend you! ”
Li Xiaoran knew in his heart that the things that could make the little brother so angry must have something to do with their family affairs. The purpose of her coming to Shengjing is to break this marriage contract, if the Xiang family has other arrangements for Xiang Shijie's family affairs. Wouldn't it be much easier to do that?
She thought to herself in her heart, but her face was a little flustered, "Little brother, what are you doing here, let go quickly, if you have something to say." ”
She didn't know that her trance just now was only for a moment, but she was seen by Wu Chen, who had been staring at him, and there was interest in his eyes. I think this girl is getting more and more interesting.
Li Xuesi snorted coldly. Letting go of his hand, Xiang Shijie staggered back a few steps and stood firm, looking at him with a complicated face, "Xuesi." No see for so long. You're just not happy with me. You have to make it clear to me, you are like this, I really don't know what I did wrong. I've offended you! ”
Li Xuesi ignored him, sat down and said to his sister: "Sister, I went out today and heard that there was talk of the marriage between the Prime Minister and the Sun family of the Anning Hou Mansion everywhere in this city. He knew his sister's thoughts, and he originally disapproved of it, but now, he is glad that his sister didn't like Xiang Shijie, otherwise this news would have hit her hard!
He said and glanced at Xiang Shijie with contemptuous eyes, and when he saw that his face had changed, he snorted heavily, and sneered in a weird manner: "Yo, isn't this Uncle Xiang who is about to marry, you are not preparing to marry Mei Jiao Niang at home, what are you doing here?" ”
Li Xiaoran knew more when she heard this, and she said with a smile: "Little brother, I met Brother Xiang on the street today, don't talk like that, how rude!" ”
But there was no mention of his wife.
Xiang Shijie's face was red and white for a while, but he didn't expect that the family had just said that they would show him others, and there were rumors outside that he was going to marry a wife, and even knew who the other party was, his heart was tight, his fists were clenched, and he knew in his heart that this qiē was arranged by his father, and the purpose was to cut off his mind to marry Ran'er.
His heart hurt terribly, but he had to defend himself with a smile, "Xuesi, you misunderstood, these are rumors, and they are not accurate." ”
Li Xuesi snorted coldly: "Rumors? Do you dare to say that you don't have such a plan in your house? Do you dare to say that they agree with you and Ran'er? ”
Xiang Shijie was stunned, glanced at Li Xiaoran, and saw that her face was as usual, without Li Xuesi's anger, nor was she ashamed and anxious, and her heart was bitter and abnormal, and he said: "The house really does not agree with this family business," he said in a low voice and eagerly raised his voice: "However, but I will find a way to convince them, Xuesi, Ran'er, believe me, I will definitely persuade them, I will definitely marry you." ”
Li Xiaoran smiled and didn't answer his words, "Brother Xiang, it's not early, you should go home early, if you have something, I'll talk about it tomorrow, okay?" ”
Xiang Shijie just ran out of the mansion, and he just saw them, where would he like to go back, not to mention, the attitude of the two brothers and sisters towards him was too cold, he thought about it and said: "I haven't seen Xuesi for a long time, let's have a candle night talk tonight." Saying that, for fear that they would refuse, he hurriedly walked out, and said in his mouth: "I'll go and ask the guy to arrange dinner, you don't know, in this Shengjing City, there is no restaurant, this fish is the most delicious, you just came, you must taste it......"
Li Xuesi's brother and sister glanced at each other, and he snorted: "Feel free to do so, I don't care!" This is a tacit acquiescence to her idea of withdrawing from her family.
Li Xiaoran stepped forward with a smile and hugged his arm coquettishly, "Thank you, little brother, little brother, after this is done, let's go back, it's been half a year, I miss my mother, my second brother and Tong'er." ”
"Okay, let's go back after we get this done." A hint of gloom flashed in Li Xuesi's eyes, why is his beautiful sister so unhappy in marriage?
Wu Chen looked at the deep love between the two brothers and sisters, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, people in the world say that power is good, but who knows, born in a family like theirs, any family affection is empty, where is there such a brother and sister relationship.
The dinner at night was light and tasteless, and in the evening, Xiang Shijie and Li Xuesi repeatedly promised that he would persuade his father to marry Ran Er, and he would definitely not disappoint Ran Er," ...... Xuesi, let's grow up together, you know what kind of person I am, don't worry, I will definitely do this and give you an explanation. ”
Looking at his anxious look, eager to swear to the sky, Li Xuesi was silent, "I'll give you half a month, if this matter is not done after half a month, you and Ran'er's family affairs will be stopped!" ”
Half a month is not much, but Xiang Shijie already has an idea in his heart, if his father can't do what he wants this time, then he doesn't stay in this prime minister's house. For so many years before, he could grow up in a poor and remote village, not to mention that now, he is successful in studying, even if he does not have the support of the prime minister's government, he will not starve his wife and children to death.
made up his mind, he left the inn and went home as soon as it was dawn, and said that he would write to Li Xuesi in half a month at the latest.
It's just that this time I left, there was no news.
After Xiang Shijie left, Wu Chen came out of the room, stood behind Li Xuesi, and said with Xiang Shijie's back: "He is a young man who has no achievements, and it is impossible to refute the words of the family." Ran'er is such a good girl, she should marry someone who can give her a better life. ”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Xuesi with blazing eyes.
Li Xuesi was irritable, glanced at him, and sneered: "Oh, tell me, if she doesn't marry Brother Xiang, who should she marry?" ”
Marry you?
A man of unknown origin?
For Ran Er in his mouth, he didn't hear it, this person is so thick-skinned that he can be called the first in the world, I don't know how many times they have corrected it, how many times they have been cold-faced, this person still does his own thing.
Wu Chen laughed, worthy of being a thick-skinned person, there was no embarrassment on his face, he laughed a few times, smiled, and said: "Brother Li, my name is Yong Wuchen, I am twenty-two years old this year, and I haven't married a wife yet, I don't know if I can marry Ling Mei as a wife?" ”
Li Xuesi's face changed suddenly, Yong Wuchen, isn't he the young master of the Yongwang Mansion in the North? No wonder you have the confidence and ability to marry Ran'er.
He was stunned, Li Xiaoran came over, her marriage contract was about to be dissolved, he was happy, and said happily: "Little brother, let's go to the lake today, I heard that the scenery of Nanhu Lake is very beautiful, and it is ......."
Before she finished speaking, she saw that there was something wrong with the situation between the two of them, Wu Chen changed his previous cynicism, and the little brother's expression was obviously shocked.
“…… What's wrong with you guys? She stopped and asked, confused.
Li Xuesi came back to his senses and said busily: "It's okay, aren't you going shopping today?" ”
"If I don't go, I don't want to go shopping with Tu Zhi, so I won't be a light bulb!"
Li Xuesi had long been accustomed to her words, but Yong Wuchen was stunned when he heard this, looked at her carefully, and said with a smile, "You talk to my brother sometimes." ”
The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Li Xiaoran only reacted after speaking, there were outsiders here, but she comforted herself in her heart, Wu Chen didn't understand, but she didn't expect him to say such a sentence.
She feigned curiosity and asked, "Really?" Who is your brother? ”
Yong Wuchen looked at her with a smile, "What, are you interested in my brother?" Then I thought about it again, when he said his identity just now, Ran Er didn't hear it, and he shouldn't be interested in him because of his brother's identity.
Thinking about it like this, he secretly blamed himself for making a fuss, that is, what could he do if he knew his brother's identity, and outsiders knew that it was impossible for the prince of the north to inherit the Yongwang Mansion, and the real heirs of the Yongwang Mansion were all in the north, holding great power, and staring at the throne!
Li Xiaoran nodded heavily, and said seriously: "Interested, where is he now, can I get to know him?" "The person who can speak the modern language is either an elder brother or a fellow countryman, and she can't miss the slightest opportunity to find him.
Yong Wuchen said with a smile: "I'm afraid my brother is not interested in meeting you little girl." ”
Li Xiaoran pouted, "How do you know without asking, maybe he wants to know me too!" ”
Yong Wuchen was just about to speak, but Li Xuesi, who had been thoughtful, interrupted the two of them: "Ran'er, aren't you going out, it's not early, let's go!" The shock in his heart was indescribable, he really didn't expect that the man who had been following them and always being courteous to his sister would have such a noble status.
But he understands the truth of Qi Dafei.
A prefect, a powerful mansion all look down on them, the lord in the north is equivalent to the prince of the Great Zhou, how can such a person marry his sister as a wife!
As for being a concubine, he didn't even think about it, so he hurriedly interrupted the two of them and pulled his sister out in a hurry. (To be continued......)
