On September 25, I had a good meal at Feng Zhong's house, and the next morning, the children of the Xiang family shouted that they would be invited to visit Yu Gong in Yanjiting, and then go to Yu's house to drink and eat meat.

Xiang Kang tried to continue to stop the Xiang brothers, planning to find a way to get some decent gifts before visiting Yu Gong, so as not to go to the empty gloves white wolf every time to make the Yu family look down on him, and once considered getting a flower chicken to take to Yu Gong as a gift. However, this time, even Xiang Zhuang, the eldest of the Xiang family's children, voted against, saying: "Xiang Kang, it's a bit too much to come to the door empty-handed every time, but what kind of Miyue chicken to give to the Yu family is exempt for me to see, the gentleman is far away from cooking, our Xiang family has been famous for generations, and it is more embarrassing and despised to take food as a gift." ”

Xiang Kang thought about it carefully and found that it was also, and the children of the Xiang family next to him urged one after another, saying that they couldn't get any decent gifts anyway, so it was better to go empty-handed, and keep the favor owed to the Yu family in their hearts, and wait for the future to return, and said that Duke Yu was sincerely invited, and if he didn't refuse, he wouldn't give him face. Xiang Kang had no choice but to nod with the intention of returning the favor in the future, and led the Xiang brothers out of the county again, and went to Yanji Pavilion in the neighboring county to visit Yu Gong - pay attention to the leader, several successful mixed eating and drinking, cheating, abduction and extortion, including the eldest Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Guan, have unconsciously regarded Xiang Kang as the temporary leader of their brothers.

Still in front of the Yu family in Yan Jiting, Xiang Kang realized that he should hold on a little longer and come to visit the Yu family another day, because there is a carriage painted with black and red paint parked in front of the Yu family today, pulled by two yellow horses with the same coat color, it is obvious that there are guests coming to visit the Yu family, and the identity of the person who came is not destined to be simple. But there was no way, they had already arrived at the gate and there was no way to turn back, Xiang Kang had no choice but to step forward surrounded by the Xiang family brothers, show his identity and intention to the old servant of the Yu family who was guarding the door, and ask the old servant to inform him on his behalf.

It was only after a while that Yu Jian, the current head of the Yu family, walked out of the door quickly, and confessed to Xiang Kang and the others: "Forgive me, my sons, there happened to be a guest at home, and I delayed for some time before I came out to greet him. ”

The brothers of the Xiang family are also quite reasonable, knowing that there will be guests in the Yu family, they didn't care about Yu Jian to let themselves wait outside the door for a long time, and they all returned the courtesy and said that they didn't have to mind, and Yu Jian respectfully invited the Xiang brothers into the door of his house. As a result, after entering the hall, there were indeed a few guests sitting in the living room of the Yu family, and the first one sitting was a middle-aged man, with a deep coat, very luxurious clothing, a flat face and a flat nose, and a somewhat ugly appearance, but his bearing was very proud.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you." Yu Jian introduced the middle-aged man to the children of the Xiang family and said, "This is our right lieutenant of Ling County (equivalent to the current director of the county public security bureau), Shan Chang Shan right lieutenant. ”

After that, Yu Jian introduced the children of the Xiang family to the Shan Right Lieutenant and said: "Shan Youwei, these sons are all surnamed Xiang, after the Xiang family of the famous family of Chu State." ”

For the sake of Yujian's face, the brothers of the Xiang family all bowed to the single right lieutenant and honored the right lieutenant, but the single right lieutenant was amazingly arrogant, not only did not return the salute, but also raised his head and said in a big way: "The famous Xiang family of the old Chu State? The surname of the old Chu State? Why can't I remember? ”

"Wu Xinjun Xiang Yan!" Xiang Zhuang said angrily: "Captain Shan can't even remember my eldest father's name, right?" ”

"Xiang Yan?" The right lieutenant pretended to think about it and said, "I remember, I lost the battle in Qi County and killed the entire Chu State, and wiped my neck to kill that Xiang Yan, right?" ”

"What did you say?" The Xiang brothers all jumped like thunder, Xiang Guan, Xiang Han and others subconsciously pulled out the sword at their waists, and several men sitting at the head of the single right lieutenant also immediately got up and pressed the sword, as if they were ready to protect the single right lieutenant at any time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, rest your anger, stop your anger." Yu Jian hurriedly bowed his hand to the Xiang family brothers, and said in a loud voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, please look at the thin face of the old man, temporarily calm the anger of thunder, and have something to say, something to say." ”

Persuading the Xiang brothers, Yu Jian bowed his hand to the Shan Right Lieutenant again, and said in a pleading tone: "Shan Right Lieutenant, these Xiang sons are all famous families, please look at my face and be polite to them." ”

The right lieutenant looked at the Xiang brothers with mostly white-eyed eyes, and saw that the Xiang brothers were many and powerful, all of them were armed with swords, and among them, Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Guan, Xiang Han and others were also tall and strong, and their arms were thick, obviously not easy to deal with, knowing that they might not be able to take advantage of their side if they really moved, so they reluctantly nodded and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't mind, I'm just making a harmless joke, don't be so excited, right?" ”

"I'm joking with your eldest father, don't you mind?" The crown roared.

The people brought by Shan Youwei went to press the sword again, Yu Jian hurriedly gave up his hands again, sweating profusely and begging the Xiang brothers to calm down, Xiang Kang also knew that this was not the place to do it, so he could only stand up and help Yu Jian persuade his brothers, and it took a lot of effort to reluctantly press his brothers and sit down, temporarily ending this turmoil.

It is true that he looks down on the children of the Xiang family from the bottom of his heart, after the brothers of the Xiang family sat down, the right lieutenant did not give Yu Jian and the Xiang brothers a polite time, and said directly to Yu Jian: "Gong Yu, let's talk about our affairs first, I have made it very clear just now, my son and your Yushu (daughter) are talented and beautiful, they are a natural pair, give me a face, and promise to marry your Yushu to my son." ”

Saying that, Captain Shan also patted the young man in Chinese clothes sitting next to him, it was obvious that the young man in Chinese clothes was his son, Xiang Kang hurriedly went to the young man in Chinese clothes carefully, and saw that his appearance was very similar to Captain Shan, both had a flat face and a collapsed nose, and his face was full of pimples, which was much uglier than Captain Shan. Then Xiang Kang couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and said secretly: "Ugly like this, if that little pepper of the Yu family marries such a person, he will be comfortable in the future." ”

Schadenfreude to schadenfreude, thinking that Yu Jiao's delicate little beauty might marry such an ugly boy, Xiang Kang's heart is still a little uncomfortable, and he inevitably feels some regrets - how good is it to marry himself?

It's okay for the little sister of the Yu family, her father Yu Jian obviously had embarrassment and helplessness on his face, and said in a low voice: "Captain Shan, let me think about it again, my daughter is still young, and she has no plans to marry for the time being, let me think about it again, think about it." ”

"What else do you have to think about?" Lieutenant Shan said very arrogantly: "In the entire Ling County, in addition to my son, can you find a second son who is more compatible with your Yushu?" Don't think about it, it's decided! Shan Fan, hurry, give your uncle (father-in-law) a gift. ”

Hearing this, Yu Jian's face suddenly turned a little pale, and Shan Fan, the ugly son of Shan Youwei, was unceremoniously, got up and bowed to Yu Jian, and opened his mouth to cook raw rice into rice......

"This is a good deal." Without thinking about it, Xiang Kang almost made up his mind in a flash of light, and opened his mouth to say, "Slow! Yu Gong, please wait. ”

Everyone turned their heads to look at Xiang Kang in surprise, but Xiang Kang got up without hesitation, and said to Yu Jian: "Yu Gong is slow, please allow the juniors to say, don't hide from Yu Gong, the juniors are also here to ask Ling Shu for marriage, please Yu Gong is gracious, and marry Ling Shu to the juniors." ”

The hall was in an uproar, and Yu Jian was even more dumbfounded, and asked in surprise: "Xiang Gongzi, you also came to ask my daughter for marriage?" ”

"Exactly." Xiang Kang nodded without blushing, and said quickly without blushing: "As the so-called male should get married, the female should get married, the younger generation has heard that Ling Shu is virtuous and virtuous, talented and beautiful, and he likes Ling Shu very much, it is simply love at first sight. ”

"What are you? Dare to ask Yushu's Yushu for marriage? "Finally, it was the turn of Captain Shan to thunder.

"What are you?" Xiang Kang asked unceremoniously and said, "I am the queen of the famous family of the Chu State, and my ancestors are prominent, do you dare to compare your ancestors with my ancestors?" ”

Shan Youwei was speechless, and all the people he brought got up, and the Xiang family brothers, who had always been united, also stood up one by one, and Xiang Zhuang sneered and said, "What? Want to get your hands dirty? Don't be here, let's go out and talk, one to one, or one to one, our Xiang brothers will accompany you to the end! ”

Look at Xiang Zhuang, who is as strong as a bull, the people brought by Shan Youwei didn't dare to respond, and Yu Jian hurriedly continued to bow his hands and said: "Shan Youwei, Xiang Gongzi, if you have something to say, you have something to say, don't be rough, don't be rough." ”

"Don't worry, Duke Yu, our brother won't be rude." Xiang Kang smiled and said, "But Duke Yu, what the junior just said to you, can you think about it?" ”

Saying that, Xiang Kang also winked at Yu Jian, and Yu Jian finally suddenly realized that Xiang Kang was actually helping himself to relieve the siege, and hurriedly said: "Of course you can consider it, but the little girl is still young, and this matter can only be discussed in the long run, not in a hurry." ”

"Thank you, Duke Yu." Xiang Kang thanked him, turned to the Shan Right Lieutenant again, and said with a smile: "Shan Right Lieutenant, I'm sorry, I didn't hear it, Duke Yu has already agreed to consider me, your son-in-law, it seems that you can only find another good mate." ”

"You!"

Lieutenant Shan glared at Xiang Kang angrily, his ugly son Shan Fan looked at Xiang Kang as if he wanted to eat people, and Xiang Kang, who was surrounded by a large group of capable bodyguards, was not afraid and smiled calmly. Lieutenant Shan couldn't find a reason for the attack, so he could only turn to Yu Jian and ask, "Gong Yu, in this way, are you planning to marry your daughter to this poor boy?" ”

"Consider, just consider." Yu Jian didn't dare to say that he would completely offend Captain Shan, so he could only bow and say: "Xiang Gongzi's character and knowledge, although I appreciate it very much, but my daughter is too young, and I have no plans to marry her for the time being, so I have to think about it again, and think about it again." ”

Of course, the right lieutenant could see that Yu Jian was deliberately delaying, and he didn't want to marry his daughter to his son, let alone marry his daughter to Xiang Kang, who had patches sewn on his cuffs, so he simply said: "Then you should think about it now, whether to marry your daughter to my son, or marry this poor boy?!" ”

Yu Jian had no choice at all, so he could only hesitate to look at Xiang Kang and Shan Fan left and right, and Xiang Kang took the opportunity to give Yu Jian another look, and said in his heart: "Stupid! You can promise me first, and then you can get out of the marriage. ”

It's a pity that Yu Jian didn't pay attention to the meaning of Xiang Kang's eyes, and after hesitating for a long time, Yu Jian said in great embarrassment: "That's it, the old man will go and ask his daughter first, you wait a minute." ”

"Good!" The right lieutenant was not afraid of backfire, and sat down and said, "Please ask Duke Yu to ask now, I will wait for your reply!" ”

Yu Jian was helpless, so he could only go out to ask his daughter what he meant, Xiang Kang hurriedly wanted to catch up and whisper to Yu Jian, but the right lieutenant over there shouted: "Stop!" If you want to wait, you can wait here! Let Yushu of the Yu family decide for herself! ”

Before Captain Shan's words were finished, the people he brought had already stopped Xiang Kang, and the Xiang brothers hurriedly jumped up and prepared to do it, and Yu Jian was afraid of seeing blood at home, so he could only cry and say with a sad face: "Xiang Gongzi, please wait a minute, the old man will come when he goes, and he will come when he goes." ”

Yu Jian opened this mouth, of course Xiang Kang didn't want to say anything, so he could only sit back obediently, and the people of Shan Youwei also retreated, and the two groups of people were tense in the living room, looking at each other. Yu Jian didn't dare to delay, so he could only go out quickly, while calling Yu Zhi, who was hiding outside the door and didn't dare to speak, to come in and greet the guests, and at the same time quickly went to the backyard to discuss with his daughter.

After a tense confrontation for an unknown amount of time, Yu Jian finally stumbled in from outside the door, nodded and said to Shan Youwei: "Shan Youwei, I'm really sorry, my daughter said that she is only willing to marry Xiang Gongzi." ”

"What?" The brothers of the Xiang family all suspected that they had misheard, and they couldn't believe their ears when they looked at Yu Jian, but Xiang Kang himself looked calm, and secretly said that Yu Jiao's little girl was not stupid, and she knew that she would use me as a shield first, and it would not be in vain for me to offend the right lieutenant of the neighboring county.

Contrary to the surprised children of the Xiang family, hearing Yu Jian's reply, Shan Youwei's face was of course how ugly and ugly it was, and he said with a pale face after a while: "So, Duke Yu, are you planning to marry your daughter to this kid with the surname?" ”

"My daughter insists on getting married, and I can't help it as a father." Yu Ma replied with a trembling face.

"Farewell!" Lieutenant Shan got up and left, while dragging his son, whose face had already turned black, and said to Xiang Kang: "Little shaft, wait and see!" ”

Throwing down the cruel words, Shan Right Lieutenant dragged his son and rushed out quickly, and the servant he brought picked up the dowry placed in the living room and hurriedly followed, Yu Jian chased him out quickly, nodding and only apologizing to the Shan Right Lieutenant, but the Shan Right Lieutenant did not listen at all.

After Captain Shan went out, the Xiang family brothers, of course, hammered Xiang Kang's shoulder with one punch and one punch, and congratulated Xiang Kang with a smile on his face. Only Xiang You had a sad expression, and said to Xiang Kang in a low voice: "Brother, why didn't you propose marriage for me just now?" ”

"Brother forgive me, I really didn't think about it just now." Xiang Kang rarely told the truth, and only then did he realize that he had completely forgotten Xiang You, who had always been secretly in love with Yu Jiao, and opened his mouth to be a matchmaker for himself first.

"Little guy, it's not shallow!" Xiang Zhuang strangled Xiang Kang's neck and said with a wicked smile on his face: "I didn't expect that little sister of the Yu family to be able to take a fancy to you!" Quick, strike while the iron is hot, and hurry up and set the date. ”

"Yanfu is not a shallow fart! Don't see that? That single right lieutenant won't let me go! Xiang Kang scolded in a low voice, not only understanding that Shan Youwei would definitely not give up, but also extremely confused about the future - if Yu Ji is really the Yu Ji in history, how will he get along with Xiang Yu, the best in the Xiang family, in the future?

"Don't be afraid!" Xiang Zhuang also knew that the right lieutenant Shan would definitely not end this matter like this, so he strangled Xiang Kang's neck and said: "Don't worry, we are here, the person surnamed Shan dares to mess around, we will help you accompany you to the end!" ”

Xiang Kang's biggest reliance now is his own brother who dares to fight and dare to die, and after listening to Xiang Zhuang's words, he can only nod quickly, during which Xiang Kang glanced out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly saw Yu Jiao, a beautiful little girl who had a relationship with him, appeared next to the door at some point, and snorted at himself, and disappeared quickly with disdain. Xiang Kang also suddenly understood in his heart, and said secretly: "Sure enough, they are using me as a shield." But it's okay, the world is about to be in chaos, I first have to think about how to save my life, and I really don't dare to enjoy the life of my wife and children. ”
