It was a long time before Yu Jian returned to Xiang Kang and the Xiang brothers - a man in his forties was carried back to the living room by his son Yu Zhi, his face was more gray and more discouraged, and his expression was more depressed and depressed, even if he was hugged by his son, he was almost tripped by his own threshold when he entered the door.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, after saluting, Xiang Kang asked Yu Jian separately, "Yu Gong, how is it?" Did the lieutenant with the surname Shan say something to intimidate you? ”

"Xiang Kang, can you speak?!" Xiang Guan, who is usually more stupid and clumsy, was unusual, and scolded Xiang Kang: "If you want to call your uncle (father-in-law), Duke Yu has promised to marry his daughter to you, and you have to call him uncle." ”

After that, Xiang Guan didn't give Xiang Kang a chance to distinguish, and immediately bowed his hand to Yu Jian and said: "Duke Yu, please rest assured, since we are already a family, then the affairs of your family will be the affairs of our Xiang family brothers in the future!" What tricks does the surnamed Shan want to play, our Xiang brothers will accompany him to the end! ”

"That's right!" Xiang Han also shouted: "No matter how powerful and powerful the surname Shan is, he is not afraid, if he dares not to know each other, it is a big deal that our Xiang family will have another murder fugitive!" ”

"That's right, our Xiang brothers care about everything, they just don't care about this life! It's a big deal to take this life with him! See what he can do to us! ”

Except for Xiang You, who had a complicated expression, the children of the Xiang family, including Xiang of the younger generation, were all rushing to shout, cheering for Yu Jian, who seemed to know that the situation was not good. The result is not to mention, because he knew that the brothers of the Xiang family really dared to fight, Yu Jian really recovered a little spirit, and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you Xiang Gongzi, if that single right lieutenant really refuses to let go of the old man and our Yu family in the future, I am afraid that there will be a lot of things to trouble you." ”

"Gong Yu, I was in a hurry just now, and I haven't had time to ask you for advice." Xiang Kang said: "You are resolutely unwilling to marry your daughter to that single son, and Ling Ai is also resolutely unwilling to marry that single son, what is it for?" Could it be that the surname Shan has a bad reputation? ”

"Isn't it just a bad reputation?" Yu Jian smiled bitterly, and said in a difficult tone: "In Lingxian City, that Shan Gongzi is simply notorious, relying on his father's power to do things everywhere, bullying men and women, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, doing all kinds of evil, returning ......, and having already married, he likes to beat his wife. ”

"Already married? Like to spank your wife? Xiang Guan next to him interrupted Yu Jian and asked in surprise: "Then he still came to ask your daughter for marriage?" ”

"His wife died half a year ago." Yu Jian didn't dare to say it too clearly-because Yu Jian also heard that Shan Fan's wife died a little unclear, and then he also shook his head and said: "Anyway, the old man doesn't want to marry his daughter to him, that is to push the old man's daughter into the fire pit." ”

"No wonder Yu Jian is worried like this, it is really troublesome to be entangled by such a person."

probably understood the reason why Yu Jian insisted on refusing to marry his daughter to the son of the single right lieutenant, Xiang Kanggang wanted to open his mouth to comfort Yu Jian, but Xiang Zhuang on the other side rushed to say: "Yu Gong, you are doing the right thing, how can a father marry his daughter to such a beast and rat?" Yu Gong, you can rest assured, my brother Xiang Kang is not only smart and talented, but also has a good temper and a good personality, you promised my daughter to my brother, you are definitely looking for the right person! Xiang Kang, what are you pulling me for? When a man gets married and a woman gets married, why don't you pay a salute to your uncle? ”

Scolding Xiang Kang, who had been pulling his sleeves behind his back, Xiang Zhuang also pulled Xiang Kang forward, pressed Xiang Kang's head and forced Xiang Kang to give Yu Jian a gift of son-in-law, Xiang Kang struggled, Yu Jian sighed, waved his hand and said: "Xiang Zhuang Gongzi, no need, this matter will be talked about later, the old man is now in a state of confusion, I don't want to talk about other things, let's talk about it later, let's talk about it later." ”

"Yes, Xiang Zhuang, let's talk about it later." Xiang Kang also struggled and said: "You don't see that Duke Yu is like this now, let's talk about other things later, now Duke Yu needs to rest, needs to rest." ”

Xiang Kang, who resolutely refused to salute, could only let go, and quietly pushed Xiang Kang with his knee and scolded in a low voice: "Stupid! Big brother is helping you! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have also seen today's incident, the old man is really confused now, he has a terrible headache, and he wants to go back to the room to rest." Yu Jian groaned and said, "So I'm sorry, the old man can't accompany you today." Yu Zhi, you treat all Xiang Gongzi for your father, remember, you have to treat you well. ”

Yu Jian said to this point, and saw the tragic scene of Yu Jian's headache with his own eyes, the children of the Xiang family are embarrassed to continue to eat and drink no matter how thick-skinned they are, without Xiang Kang opening his mouth, Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Guan and others have already said: "Yu Gong, then you go and rest, take care of your body, we won't bother, just say goodbye first, and come to visit in a few days." ”

Yu Jian and Yu Zhi pretended to stay, and the Xiang brothers, who were still a little faced, insisted on saying goodbye, and Yu Jian was not reluctant, so he asked Yu Zhi to send the Xiang brothers out of the door on his behalf, and the Xiang brothers thanked him, and when they said goodbye to Yu Zhi outside the door, they patted Yu Zhi's shoulder and said: "Brother Yu Zhi, if you have something, send someone to Shiling Pavilion to find us immediately, and be on call." We're a family, don't you need to be polite? ”

"Who wants to be a family with you?" Yu Zhi sighed in his heart, but he didn't dare to say what was in his heart in front of him, and he had to keep thanking him, and when he saw Xiang Kang occasionally, his face was full of desire to speak and stopped, and his expression was hesitant.

Although they couldn't even drink the wine and went home on an empty stomach, on the way home from Yan Jiting, the emotions of the Xiang brothers were generally more excited than the last time they came to the Yu family and returned with a full load, constantly pushing Xiang Kang around, and even congratulating Xiang Kang with scolding, all of them envied Xiang Kang's auspicious star, and in a few words, they actually chose a wife for nothing - a beautiful wife who is rich and good-looking.

Unwilling to be heard by passers-by, or after walking to a no-man's land, Xiang Kang whispered the truth to his brother and said: "Brothers, brother, you don't need to be so happy for me, can't you see that I asked Yu Gong to help him, and gave him an excuse to reject the right lieutenant surnamed Shan, it was a joke, and it shouldn't be taken seriously." That Duke Yu would never marry his daughter to a poor boy like me. ”

"Xiang Kang, we're not as stupid as you think." Xiang Zhuang also told the truth and said: "You are helping that Yu Gong delay time, we have long understood, you gave him a look and we also saw it, that Yu Gong agreed to marry his daughter to you in order to block the mouth of that single right lieutenant, and we all saw it, and we understood it ruthlessly!" ”

"Then you're still making such a fuss? Do you have to force me to salute Gong Yu right away? Xiang Kang asked suspiciously.

"Silly brother, we're here to help you!" Xiang Han strangled Xiang Kang's neck, and said with a hippie smile: "Whether that Duke Yu is willing or not, anyway, he has already agreed in front of so many people, the gentleman is hard to chase after him, does he want to take it back?" We help you talk to death, we hope to help you marry that beautiful little sister of the Yu family! ”

Xiang Kang was stunned, and looked at Xiang Han, who was usually a little muscular and simple-minded, and Xiang Han knocked on Xiang Kang's forehead with a violent shudder, and scolded with a smile: "Silly brother, let's make it clear first, eldest brother, I am not helping you for nothing, I have become the son-in-law of the Yu family and have money, eldest brother, I have to go to your house every day to eat and drink for nothing!" ”

"Xiang Han is right, we are not helping you for nothing, you and the little sister of the Yu family have become relatives, big brother, we have to go to your house every day to eat and drink for nothing! When the time comes, if you dare to be ungrateful, you will want to throw us matchmakers over the wall when you, and we will beat you so that you can't go to bed! ”

The brothers of the Xiang family echoed one after another, scrambling to book the guest position at home after Xiang Kang and the daughter of the Yu family got married, Xiang Kang suddenly realized, but Xiang You next to him had a sad expression and complained in his heart, "This Xiang Kang, why didn't you think of me as a big brother when you had the opportunity?" If I can marry the little sister of the Yu family, no matter which little sister it is, I am willing to let you go to my house every day to eat and drink for nothing, and keep the best wine and the best dishes to entertain you! ”

Quietly complaining here, Xiang You suddenly thought of something, and found that there seemed to be something wrong there, but before Xiang You could think carefully about what was wrong, the girl's delicate shout suddenly came from behind the Xiang brothers, "Wait!" The surname, Xiang Kang, you wait for me! Xiang Kang, you wait for me! ”

Hearing this voice, Xiang Kang and the Xiang brothers of course turned back quickly, but saw a beautiful girl in a green shirt and long hair rushing from behind, the girl was none other than Yu Jian's daughter Yu Jiao, who had a relationship with the Xiang family brothers-Of course, because of the customs of this era, Xiang Kang didn't know her name.

Rushing quickly to a distance of more than ten steps away from the Xiang brothers, Yu Ji stopped, panting and shouting loudly with an unkind expression: "Xiang Kang, come here, I have something to say to you alone!" ”

Before Yu Jiao's words were finished, of course the Xiang brothers had already pushed Xiang Kang to her, Xiang Kang had no choice but to step forward in the laughter of his brothers, and walked in front of Yu Jiao, Yu Yao pointed to the grove next to the road, and said, "Go in and say!" ”

With a little expectation in his heart, Xiang Kang honestly followed Yu Ji into the woods and stood opposite him far away from his brother. Then Yu Ji didn't rush to speak, a pair of beautiful eyes stared at Xiang Kang tightly, until Xiang Kang was furious in his heart, and then suddenly said: "My father was forced by the surname Shan to have no choice, so he had to agree to you!" ”

"I know." Xiang Kang nodded, and said, "Don't worry, I ......." ”

"Shut up! Listen to me! Yu Ji rudely interrupted Xiang Kang and said viciously: "I don't want to!" ”

"Don't worry, Yushu, I know very well that you don't want to." Xiang Kang explained: "The reason why I asked your father for marriage is because I could see just now that your father was unwilling to agree to the Shan family's proposal, but it was inconvenient to resolutely refuse, and the person surnamed Shan forced your father to agree immediately, so I had to stand up to help your father out of the siege, pretending to ask for marriage, and give your father an excuse to reject the surname Shan." I just didn't expect that the guy with the surname Shan would force your father to do expedient and pretend to promise me. ”

"What then?" Yu Ji's tone was still very vicious.

"You decide, you say what to do, do it."

Xiang Kang's refreshing answer surprised Yu Ji very much, and looked at Xiang Kang again in surprise, seeing that Xiang Kang's expression did not look like a fake, Yu Ji was also a little relieved, and said: "That's it, in order to block the mouth of the surnamed Shan, let's pretend to be ...... first, pretend to be like this, and after this limelight, you will retire the family, how about this?" ”

"Please ask your father to step back." Xiang Kang took the initiative to say: "This is better for the reputation of your Yu family, after all, I am a poor boy, if I take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, it will hurt the face of your Yu family too much." Don't worry, I won't care. ”

Yu Ji's expression finally really relaxed, and a moving smile appeared on her cute and pretty little face, and said, "I don't see it, you are quite good at thinking about others." ”

"That's probably my only strength." Xiang Kang shrugged his shoulders, but he felt a little regretful in his heart, forced out a smile, and said: "Little Sister Yu, if there is nothing else, let's go out, my eldest brothers and brothers are rough people, they like to joke around, and after a long delay, they can say anything strange." ”

Yu Jiao was even more relieved to hear this, and immediately nodded in agreement, and the two of them immediately walked out of the forest one after the other, and the result was just as Xiang Kang expected, seeing himself and Yu Ji coming out of the woods, the Xiang brothers who were probing their brains outside the forest were really laughing, Xiang It and Xiang Yang also put their fingers to their mouths and whistled sharply.

Even the cheeky Xiang Kang couldn't resist such a scene, of course, not to mention the thin-skinned little girl Yu Jiao, but it turned out that something should have happened, and when she turned her head in embarrassment, Yu Yao suddenly tripped over the roots of the tree, and fell forward with a stumble, Xiang Kang's eyes were bright and quickly opened his arms to block it, and Yu Yao's soft delicate body also fell into Xiang Kang's arms with a gust of fragrant wind, which made Xiang Kang can't help but feel a wave in his heart, and said secretly: "Little girl, it's so soft, it's really fragrant." ”

"Good! Terrible! The applause and applause of the Xiang brothers were loud, and Yu Jiao's face was flushed, and Xiang Kang rushed out of the woods without looking back, leaving Xiang Kang standing at the edge of the woods with a complicated mood, full of contradictions in his heart, knowing that it was almost impossible for this little girl to take a fancy to herself, and she was somewhat reluctant to miss this chance opportunity.

Next, on the way home, of course, Xiang Kang was almost not bullied to death by his own brother, and the Xiang family brothers, who were crazy with jealousy, punched me and kicked me, and forced Xiang Kang to explain what he said to Yu Ji in the woods and did something that the people liked to see, Xiang Kang smiled bitterly, wanting to explain the truth but not wanting to disappoint his own brothers who were actually well-intentioned, he gritted his teeth and resolutely refused to move, and suffered countless punches and kicks for this.

The matter is not over, after returning to the Shiling Pavilion on an empty stomach, of course, the Xiang brothers are scrambling to report the happy event of Xiang Kang's marriage to the two uncles, and although Xiang Kang told the truth to the two uncles behind his back and honestly confessed all the truth, but the two uncles almost poked Xiang Kang's forehead with their fingers, and they both scolded: "Silly child, such a good thing, can it be said that if you miss it, you will miss it?" Don't retreat, resolutely don't retreat! After the New Year, the uncles and mothers will invite the matchmaker to come to Yu's house to officially propose marriage for you and set your day! ”

"But the little sister of the Yu family is unwilling, what can I do?" Xiang Kang said with a sad face.

"It doesn't matter if she wants it or not!" The second uncle poked a finger at Xiang Kang's head again, and said very imposingly: "Since ancient times, the daughter's marriage has been decided by the father, and if her father agrees, she will marry you!" If you don't marry, you can't do it! ”

"Silly boy, is it okay to grow a little bit?" The third uncle, who is usually very gentle, poked harder and harder than the second uncle this time, and scolded: "If you are wrong, you will be wrong, you will be wrong, you should marry!" You are so smart and talkative, and you look so handsome, my uncle doesn't believe that the little sister of the Yu family really doesn't care about you at all! That's it! After the New Year, your second uncle and I will find you a matchmaker and go to Yu's house to officially book your day! ”

After that, the two uncles and aunts immediately discussed whether to take the pearl jade left by their ancestors and survived as a dowry, and when to go to the Yu family to officially replace Xiang Kangding. Xiang Kang was full of words, worried that things would not end, but also somewhat expecting - after all, if there was a chance, Xiang Kang would never mind carrying the little girl of the Bai Fu Meiyu family to bed.

…………

At the same time, in the backyard of Yan Jiting Yu's house, a beautiful and moving girl was looking at the waning moon outside the window in a daze, with all kinds of feelings in her heart, complicated feelings, and secretly said: "I didn't expect that Xiang Kang Gongzi to be so reasonable, in order to save me, he was not only willing to fire the powerful Shan You, but also willing to sacrifice his own reputation, and took the initiative to promise to let my family come forward to withdraw from my family, such a good person ......." Alas, take one step at a time, if you really can't do it...... he is better than the wicked man with the surname Shan. ”

…………

At the same time, although Xiang Kang's brother Xiang You was already lying on the bed, he was always turning over and falling asleep, and he always felt that something was wrong in his heart, but what was wrong, Xiang You couldn't remember it, so he could only complain to himself in his heart over and over again, "At that time today, why didn't I have Xiang Kang's brain, and stood up in time to ask the Yu family for marriage?" If it was me who was courting at that time, maybe it would be me, maybe it would be me! ”
