Chapter 137: Forced Marriage
One was Zhao Xiaolan, who looked a little excited, one was her sister Zhao Xiaotian, one was her father Zhao Shigang, and the other was an emaciated, but radiant old man, while the rest of the people were all bowing their heads, thinking about something.
"Ah Feng, you're here, let me introduce you!" Lan Lan got up and said to the energetic old man sitting on the top, "This is my grandfather!" β
"Hello Grandpa Zhao!" Nie Lingfeng glanced at the rest of the people in the room, then bowed respectfully to Old Man Zhao, handed over the jade bottle, and said, "Nie Lingfeng is meeting Grandpa Zhao for the first time, please take care of him in the future!" β
"Well said! Say! Old Man Zhao stood up, took the jade bottle in Nie Lingfeng's hand, handed it to his grandson Zhao Xiaoyang, and said with a smile: "Xiao Nie is really a dragon and phoenix among people, he has such an achievement at a young age, he is really envious of others!" β
"Grandpa Zhao has won the prize!" Nie Lingfeng smiled, and then greeted Zhao Shigang, "Hello Uncle Zhao!" β
"Hmmm! Have a seat! "Zhao Shigang was reprimanded by General Wang last time, and he hated and feared Nie Lingfeng in his heart, because after his old man knew about this matter, he scolded him again, and now, he still has to accompany him with a smile, which really makes him sit on pins and needles.
"Xiao Nie!" After Old Man Zhao saw Nie Lingfeng sitting down, he immediately smiled and said, "I asked you to come today to discuss something with you!" β
"yes!" A middle-aged woman raised her head, first looked at Lan Lan, and then at Nie Lingfeng, then nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "We have already discussed,......
"Xiaoru, I'll talk about this matter!" Old Man Zhao saw that his daughter-in-law suddenly interjected, and she spoke in a slurred manner, so he interrupted: "I grew up watching Lan Lan, Lan Lan doesn't say that it is a big beauty in case you pick one." It's also a top-notch pretty girl! And he is knowledgeable, and God is gentle and virtuous. Hehe...... It's not that I'm boasting, a girl like Lan Lan is hard to find in the whole of China! So, we've decided to marry Lan Lan to you! β
"Huh?" Nie Lingfeng listened to Old Man Zhao's boastful praise of Lan Lan at first, but after hearing the most eloquent sentence, "Promise to yourself!" Suddenly shocked, and hurriedly said, "Grandpa Zhao." But...... But I'm only nineteen! β
"Grandpa, the marriage is my own business, I think, let me make my own decisions!" Lan Lan saw that Nie Lingfeng was struggling and pushing, and couldn't help but stand up angrily and said loudly. But he was secretly scolding in his heart: "You bastard, dead fat, it's all over after stealing the fishy mouth?" β¦β¦β
"Lan Lan, sit down!" Old Man Zhao screamed solemnly, and Lan Lan was so frightened that he immediately sat back. However, the complexion is much more ugly! After all, Nie Lingfeng is clearly rejecting himself! "Humph! Only nineteen? The devil believes! Nineteen years old will have so many tricks? Bah! ......" Thinking of this, Lan Lan's pretty face couldn't help but turn red.
"Young?" Old Man Zhao suddenly smiled: "It's not a problem to be young, besides, this is just a marriage contract, you can get married in a few years!" β
"But? ...... "Nie Lingfeng couldn't imagine that he was forced to marry today!" I can't help but get big in my head, although Lan Lan is a good girl, but. I haven't decided to start a family on Earth yet! Moreover, there are so many women themselves. If you just marry Lan Lan, then it's too unfair to others! If you follow your own wishes, you can hold a group wedding in the Hades Continent at that time, and marry them all home at once!
"With your current ability, it's not a problem to change your age. Moreover, my Lan Lan also has a ,......deep affection for you," Lan Lan's mother, Sun Ru, said.
"Mom! Stop it! Lan Lan interrupted her mother a little annoyed.
"I want to think about it, and besides, there is no parental consent. I'm not good at making my own decisions! Nie Lingfeng finally remembered the words of his parents' matchmaker! So he changed the subject.
"Hmmm! All right! Old Lady Zhao knew that he couldn't force Nie Lingfeng to be anxious, so he had to nod his head and approve: "You are really a filial child!" I've got your parents here, though! Hehe, please let them in! β
"Huh? Grandpa Zhao......? Nie Lingfeng couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.
Sure enough, within a few minutes, his father and mother walked up together, with a satisfied smile on their faces.
"Daddy! Mother! How did you guys get here? Nie Lingfeng shouted, stood up and asked.
"It was Mr. Zhao who sent a car to pick us up! We've been here for a long time! Sun Xiufen said with a smile.
"What about Panpan?" Nie Lingfeng hurriedly asked.
"It's time to go to school!" Sun Xiufen smiled: "That girl is too smart, she can learn something as soon as she learns it...... Hehe! β
"That's right!" After Nie Jianguo sat down, he smiled at Old Man Zhao, and then said to his son with a straight face: "Xiaofeng, you are not small, Old Man Zhao is optimistic about you, and I also hope that you can think about your life's events as soon as possible!" Besides, this is also your chance! β
"That's it!" At this time, Sun Xiufen also sat next to Lan Lan, holding Lan Lan's little hand, and said: "Lan Lan, this child is well-behaved and polite, and he is also highly educated, and he is still the manager of Yanjing Hotel!" Behold! I will definitely help you in the future! Hehe, I have taken a fancy to this kid Lan Lan! β
"I'm a mother!" Nie Lingfeng's head is about to explode! It's good that I didn't say what my parents ordered the matchmaker, but now that my parents have given the order, what else can I say? Could it be that he could refuse Lan Lan mercilessly, and Tian shamelessly and shamelessly said: I still have several "women" who want to marry together?
At this time, Lan Lan, who was grabbed by Sun Xiufen's little hand, glanced at Nie Lingfeng proudly, and then scolded in her heart: "You bastard, I see what you have to say now!" β
"Humph!" At this time, Zhao Xiaotian, who was sitting on the side and flipping through the magazine without any scruples, saw that the scene was quiet, and suddenly snorted, but then lowered his head. She was really a little afraid of Nie Lingfeng now.
"Your mother is right!" As the saying goes, the hands of others are short, and the mouth of eating others is short, Nie Jianguo already knew the way, and the Zhao family decided to help transfer himself to the Banking Regulatory Bureau, and couldn't help but immediately help: "In terms of education, appearance, and family background, we can't match the Zhao family!" People Lan Lan can take a fancy to you, and it is also the creation of your rabbit cub! β¦β¦β
"Bunny?" Nie Lingfeng couldn't help but smile when he heard his father's mantra, didn't this short few decades on earth just make his family happy? What to marry and not to marry. That's all for later, if the most reluctant Lan Lan doesn't want to marry herself with so many women, then, let her go!
Thinking of this, Nie Lingfeng Huo Ran got up and said, "Thanks to Grandpa Zhao for looking down on Ling Feng, thank you for Sister Lan Lan's love." Ling Feng decided that if Sister Lan Lan could still agree to marry me in three years, then I would marry Sister Lan Lan immediately! β
"Good! Good! Old Man Zhao nodded again and again, and said approvingly: "Since you have your guarantee, then, everyone here is a witness, and of course our Zhao family will not go back on our word!" β
"That's right! Lan Lan will definitely agree! Lan Lan's mother, Sun Ru, immediately chimed in.
At this time. Only a trace of anger suddenly flashed in Zhao Xiaotian's eyes, of course, this couldn't escape Nie Lingfeng's eyes, but he didn't care!
"The two families happen to be together today, let's have dinner together!" Old Man Zhao suggested.
"Old man, then I'll pick up my little daughter and come back!" Nie Jianguo is naturally willing, if he really climbs into a relative with the Zhao family in Yanjing, he can be regarded as rising with the tide! It's just that he doesn't understand. Why is there such a good thing, but his precious son is not very willing? In fact. He didn't know what to say, if Nie Lingfeng really said that he was looking for a partner, I was afraid that the rest of the four major families would do everything they could to climb this golden beetle son-in-law! Others don't know the way, but who doesn't know the way of the well-informed families? Moreover, the Lin family was suddenly uprooted and all the glory of the family was erased. It's all thanks to this nineteen-year-old boy!
Just when Old Man Zhao nodded in agreement, suddenly, the people in the living room were pushed away, a very handsome, but. The young man who was a little gloomy hurried in.
Since the gate of the Zhao family's villa was damaged by Nie Lingfeng last time, the remaining guards were all taken away, so except for the one who is in charge of guarding the door now, there are no more personnel such as nursing homes patrolling, so after outsiders enter the door, no one comes in to report.
"Hello Grandpa Zhao!" After the young man entered the door, he first glanced at Lan Lan, then glared at Nie Lingfeng hatefully, and then said to Old Man Zhao: "I'm here to give a dowry today!" After speaking, he immediately waved his hand, and saw an old man in a Taoist robe walking in with two middle-aged men. The two men each held a silver platter in their hands, which was covered with a red cloth.
"Shi Gang! I said, how did you do that? The doorman has been chased away, can't you just find a few more? When Old Man Zhao saw the comer, he didn't pay attention to it, but scolded his son: "Wouldn't our Zhao family become a place where others can enter and exit at will?" It's just nonsense! β
"Grandpa Zhao!" The young man shouted again, still standing on the spot, looking at Old Man Zhao with a calm face.
"Oh! It turned out to be the little son of the Lin family! Old Man Zhao smiled, then waved his hand and said, "Since you're here, let's sit!" β
"Old man Zhao, although my Lin family is defeated now, as long as I Lin Shaojie is here, then sooner or later, the Lin family will return to the six major families in Yanjing again! So, I think Mr. Zhao can fulfill the promise he made with my grandfather back then! β
"Promise? What promises? Old Man Zhao said knowingly.
"Back then, you and my grandfather privately promised to marry Lan Lan to me, so today, Shaojie dared to come and propose! I hope you see it in ......"
"Why didn't I remember this?" Old Man Zhao shook his head and interrupted: "Could it be that you have any evidence?" β
"Grandpa Zhao is joking, you are ......"
Before Lin Shaojie's words were finished, he was interrupted by Old Man Zhao again, "How could I be joking?" You can go and inquire, when did I, Zhao Xiyang, talk and not count? When have you ever joked with a junior? β
"Don't dare!" Lin Shaojie hurriedly bowed down and said, "It was Shaojie who said the wrong thing just now, and I hope Grandpa Zhao will be angry!" β
"Humph!" At this moment, the Taoist priest who was following Lin Shaojie suddenly snorted coldly, and said slowly: "Old Man Zhao is really majestic!" Lao Dao admires, admires! β
"Oh! It turned out to be the head of the Ri'an Road of Xingyi Gate! As if he had just discovered this Taoist priest, Old Man Zhao said politely: "Daoist Ri'an came to the Humble House today, I don't know what advice Lu Dao has to offer?" β
"Something big happened to my closed disciple's family, of course I, as a master, want to come and see it!" Daoist Ri'an glanced at everyone, and then said coldly, "By the way, help my disciple fulfill his family's wish!" β
"Is the chief of the day an Taoist coming to ask for the apprentice?" Old Man Zhao asked.
"Yes!" The Taoist priest nodded.
"I'm sorry about that!" Old Man Zhao smiled: "My granddaughter has already been married to someone else, and you are too late." Why don't you wait for my granddaughter's wedding celebration and come for a drink? β
"What?" When the chief of the Ri'an Daoist heard this, he immediately said coldly: "Is your Zhao family bullying the Lin family and no one to support you?" β
"The head of the Ri'an Dao also wants to know that our Zhao family also has the Kongtong faction to support it!" Suddenly, Sun Ru stood up and said.
"Humph!" Ri'an Daoist snorted coldly and said to Sun Ru: "You are the daughter of the Sun family, right?" β
"So what?" Sun Ru replied unceremoniously.
"If it's the Sun family's business, I naturally have to take care of the Kongtong faction. However, a daughter who married out of the Sun family, do you also want to cause trouble for the Sun family? Ri'an Daoist suddenly said coldly.
"This! ......" Sun Ru couldn't help but pause when she heard this, and immediately closed her mouth, indeed, if you get into trouble for the Kongtong faction because of a daughter who marries outside, not to mention that the Sun family can't explain, maybe the Kongtong faction will blame it, then the gains outweigh the losses!
"Even if there is no Kongtong faction. Could it be that my Zhao family is still afraid that you will not be an elder of the Xingyi Sect? Old Man Zhao suddenly said coldly.
"Oh? It seems that Old Man Zhao is confident! Ri'an Daoist sneered, and then said: "Today, I have already offered the dowry for the apprentice, and tomorrow, I will send a wedding card for the apprentice, and the wedding time is set for ten days!" When the time comes, the upper echelons of the major families and sects will come, I hope that Old Man Zhao will not embarrass me Xingyimen! β¦β¦ Hahaha! β¦β¦β
"Oh?" Nie Lingfeng heard this. I can't sit still anymore, after all, this matter has something to do with me. Not to mention that Lan Lan is already her own woman, even the fall of the Lin family has a lot to do with herself, and the two bodyguards sent to Lin Kainan by the Xingyi Sect, several first-class masters, were also killed by themselves. Therefore, when I heard this, I saw that Old Man Zhao was a little weak and didn't dare to answer, so he stood up happily. walked up to the Ri'an Daoist and said with a smile: "Ri'an Daoist wants to give a dowry gift?" β
"Yes!" Daoist Ri'an didn't know Nie Lingfeng, but when he saw him sitting next to Old Man Zhao, he thought he was the heir of the Zhao family, so he gave him a face and nodded.
"That's great!" Nie Lingfeng smiled, and then said, "Then why don't you uncover the red cloth and see what good things are inside?" β
"Good! As you wish! In order to show off in front of everyone, the chief of the day turned around and opened two pieces of red sermon and said: "This is a pair of jasper lions, which were the treasures of the palace back then, and were later obtained by me by accident, and they are priceless treasures!" As the governor finished speaking, the two pieces of red cloth were uncovered.
Uncovering the red cloth, two delicate jasper lions sat on a silver platter, looking not only lifelike, but also the emerald green color made the surrounding air a little halo.
"Something looks really good!" Nie Lingfeng smiled, then shook his head and said, "However, this little thing ...... Gee! β¦β¦ I'm afraid it's not enough, right? β
"Not enough?" Ri'an Daoist was surprised: "Could it be that someone else can come up with a more precious treasure than this?" β
"Huh!" Nie Lingfeng reached out and touched the two little lions as if he was very sorry, then covered the red cloth and said, "Actually, I am Lan Lan's fiancΓ©, and besides, I also brought a dowry today!" Get ready to propose to Lanlan! β¦β¦β
"You?" Ri'an Dao Chief's eyes suddenly turned cold, and then he said coldly: "If you can come up with something more precious than this pair of jade lions, then I will turn around and leave!" β
"Good!" As soon as Nie Lingfeng agreed, Nie Jianguo panicked, and hurriedly glanced at Nie Lingfeng, "Niangdi, you know that you are a ghost, you are a beggar in front of a predator like the Zhao family, how dare you compare yourself with others?" β
"Huh!" Nie Lingfeng gave his father a reassuring look, then took out a huge diamond from his pocket, and finally took out a huge diamond, this diamond was still obtained from Suharto's treasure house, although it cannot be said to be priceless, but there are not many diamonds in the world that are bigger than this diamond.
"Huh! That's it? Ri'an Dao snorted coldly, "This thing has value to follow, and my jasper lion is a priceless treasure!" β
"Priceless? Hahaha! Fart! Nie Lingfeng immediately laughed and said, "Your broken jade lion is not even a fast marble, it's just a broken stone that is about to be dyed!" β
"Shaft! Do you dare to talk nonsense? "Don't you know your own baby? This is a treasure with a great history, how can the head of the Ri'an Dao allow Nie Lingfeng to talk nonsense? Therefore, immediately said angrily.
"Am I talking nonsense, you wipe it with your fingers yourself, if yours is really a jasper lion, then, it will definitely not lose color!" Nie Lingfeng said seriously.
"Good! I'll give you an appraisal! When the chief heard this, he gritted his teeth in anger, but in order to prove that his jasper lion was a treasure, he still lifted the red cloth, took out one of them, and then wiped it with his hand, and suddenly, where he touched it with his hand, the emerald green color was gone, and the white stone inside was revealed.
