Chapter Seventy-Three: Proposing Marriage for Huan Yu
The wife of Commander Zheng had never seen Jiang Mo, but she heard that Huan Yi had bought a concubine from the Qinglou, and she couldn't help but look closely, but she was an extremely standard girl.
But thinking that now she came to ask for marriage and brought a concubine, which obviously didn't take her daughter to heart, she suddenly became more and more sad, thinking only of her as a woman, and she didn't know what to do.
And at this moment, I saw that the protector had already gotten off the sedan chair.
The Protector has been playing with power for many years, and he has his own momentum, just standing there, the wife of Commander Zheng can't help but feel a trace of fear in her heart.
She hurriedly ordered someone to invite the protector and others to the main room, and ordered someone to bring the prepared tea.
And Jiangmo's status is low, so naturally he can't sit down, just standing behind Huan Yi's chair, and sitting on the top of Huan Yi is Huan Yu, who is full of wind and clouds.
And Huan Yi was also sitting impatiently, only taking off a piece of ring around his waist, holding it in his hand and playing with it, obviously kissing him in a hurry, he seemed to be a person who had nothing to do.
The Protector glanced at Huan Yi, but thought that he was embarrassed, so he didn't care.
He took the tea from the maids, only lifted the lid and took a sip, and then said, "Today, the old man came to give Ah Yi a kiss, this child is infatuated in the mansion, and he is lovesick, and his wife should save his life, so he agreed to this family business." ”
When Mrs. Zheng heard this, her face was a little embarrassed, "I have only one daughter with the Grand Commander, and this marriage event naturally has to be decided by the Grand Commander."
The Protector said coldly: "The old master will send a letter to the commander, presumably he will not object, the old man only has this one grandson, this furniture must be all his, and in the future, Ling Ai will be noble and decent, and will not suffer the slightest grievance." ”
Mrs. Zheng knew that today's marriage could only be agreed, after all, they couldn't afford to offend the Protector Mansion, and since the Protector came to the door in person, it could be regarded as giving them dignity.
Aunt Wei also smiled and said: "Don't worry, madam, look at the appearance of my family, even in Shangjing, I can't find anything comparable to him, so that the love and gentleness are born, if they are placed together, others only think that it is the golden boy and jade girl under the seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva, this is not a good match and what is it." ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but look at Huan Yi, but saw that he was born handsome, and he was the all-round style, which no one could compare.
She thought that although Huan Yi was useless, but with this appearance, she was also worthy of her daughter, but she had to nod her head and agree, and barely squeezed out a smile, "The little girl doesn't know any rules, and when she enters the Protector's Mansion in the future, she asks the Lord of the Kingdom to take care of her more." ”
The Protector had long expected that she would agree, so he continued: "Tonight, the old man will use a sedan chair to take Ling Ai to the mansion, and wait for the day of the commander's triumphant return, he will hold a beautiful wedding, I don't know what Mrs. wants?" ”
Zheng Da's wife's face turned pale in an instant, how can there be such a reason in the world, her daughter went to the Protector's Mansion like this, and she is not a woman in the Qinglou, so they are doing this.
The Protector had already seen her thoughts, and laughed dryly: "Just to save Ah Yan's life, the old man will naturally come to the mansion to make amends to the commander in the future." ”
Mrs. Zheng had to hold back her tears and promised: "Since this is the case, then ask the maids to dress up the little girl and follow the grandfather of the country." ”
Jiang Mo has been standing behind Huan Yi, seeing that what she has in mind has been completed, she doesn't even have the slightest joy, even she doesn't know whether this matter is right or wrong, but she knows that she has completely ruined Zheng Qiang's life.
Just as she was pondering, she felt a cold gaze sweep over, but it was Huan Yi's eyes staring at her like a needle, and even her voice was full of coldness, "Now you can get your wish?" ”
His voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it clearly, and it seemed to others that he was speaking in private.
Jiang Mo's eyes were a little dim, and he was silent for a long time before he said lightly: "Young master, don't complain about the concubine, one day you will understand that the concubine is just a last resort today." ”
"It's a last resort." Huan Yi's eyes were full of coldness.
And at this moment, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and the noise of the maids, getting closer and closer, closer and closer.
Everyone hurriedly turned their heads to look, but saw that the door was pushed open suddenly, but it was Zheng Qiang who came in with a bright sword, and the cold blade of the sword seemed to be inlaid with a layer of frost, which clearly illuminated the shocked look on everyone's faces.
Zheng Qiang's eyes were filled with despair, and she only looked at Huan Yu, as if she had a lot to say, but she still turned her head and looked at the Lord Protector and her mother on the throne.
She knelt on the ground, her eyes full of stubbornness, "My daughter admires the second young master wholeheartedly, and she will never marry someone else, that is, he refuses to marry another wife in his life, and I will never marry for the rest of my life. ”
After she finished speaking, she picked up the knife and pointed it at her neck, and the faces of the people in the room suddenly changed, but they heard her continue, "Since you have forced me like this today, I will go." ”
After saying that, she took the knife and asked me to wipe it on my neck, but fortunately, the maids who rushed over snatched the sword from her hand, so that the blood would not be splashed on the spot.
Commander Zheng's wife turned pale and was covered in cold sweat with fright.
Seeing such a situation, the eyes of the Protector couldn't help but sweep towards Huan Yu, like a needle, and then sneered, "Since the girl looks down on my family, then naturally no one will dare to come to the door to propose marriage in the future, and the person you have in mind, he will not dare to marry you." ”
His words are to tell everyone that Huan Yu will not be able to marry Zheng Qiang in this life.
Hearing this, the wife of Commander Zheng knelt on the ground, "Grandpa Guo, she is just a fool, you can spare her." ”
Jiang Mo subconsciously went to look at Huan Yi, but saw him lifting the tea bowl, drinking tea with his head down, and sighed softly in his mouth, "It's really pitiful." ”
Sure enough, hearing such words, the last trace of hope in Zheng Qiang's eyes was also shattered.
She had a strong temperament, but her eyes looked at the sword in the hand of the maid beside her again, and she stretched out her hand to grab it, but she said in a resolute voice, "You can stop me for a while, but you can't stop me for a lifetime, and I will go today, and it will not be in vain for my infatuation in the past few years." ”
But her eyes kept falling on Huan Yu's body, and she didn't get any response from him from beginning to end.
That kind of despair made the heart like a knife when I saw it. Jiangmo is not such a ruthless person, and she likes Zheng Qiang very much, and she can't watch her die because of herself.
But Huan Yi slowly turned his head, a pair of flowing eyes roamed over Jiang Mo's face, and said in a low voice: "Her life is also on your head, and Young Master Ben will not bear this crime." ”
Jiang Mo's hand trembled uncontrollably, and if it weren't for the back of the chair, she almost fell to the ground, and it seemed that she didn't even have the courage to look at Zheng Qiang.
"Let her go." Jiang Mo took a deep breath, her chest was so tight that she could almost suffocate, "You did the second request." ”
"Why bother? This young master came to beg his wife with great fanfare, could it be that he could not go back empty-handed like this? His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and he said indifferently, "Even if you carry her body back, it won't be in vain for Young Master Ben to go." ”
As he spoke, Zheng Qiang had already snatched the sword and almost wiped his neck.
At this time, the house was in a mess, and no one noticed the two of them at all. And Huan Yu still sat there with a flat face, and from beginning to end, he didn't say a word.
Finally, Jiang Mo knelt beside him, and his clear eyes were full of compromise, "It's all a concubine, you just spare her." ”
At the moment when Jiang Mo knelt down, Huan Yu's gaze finally swept over, his eyes were deep, and he seemed to have guessed the dark waves of the two people at this time.
Huan Yi couldn't help but sneer, only turned his head, grabbed her chin stiffly, and sneered, "Young Master Ben originally thought that you were very capable, but that's it." ”
After saying that, he let go of her, got up from the chair at once, grabbed the tea cup in his hand, and slammed it to the ground.
With a "pop", the chaotic room fell silent for a moment, and everyone's eyes fell on him, even Zheng Qiang, whose face was full of tears, stopped.
The face of the protector was ugly, and he also looked at Huan Yi, and only said very protectively: "Ah Yi, the humiliation you suffered today, the old man will remember it for you, let's go to the emperor to reason in front of him another day, it seems that Commander Zheng relies on his military exploits, and even the old man is not in his eyes." ”
When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she trembled with fright, and his Zheng family was only able to have today because of the support of the Protector, but he could never be offended.
"No, grandfather." Huan Yi didn't have the slightest humiliation on his face, but with a hint of a smile, "My grandson doesn't want to marry." ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and even Aunt Wei whispered, "Amitabha, this child is finally sensible once." ”
The face of the protector is still ugly, and he is very annoyed that the Zheng family does not know how to lift, and today he actually refuted his face, "That's it, go back to the house with the old man, and in the future, you will have someone with both talent and appearance to match you." ”
"Wait a minute, my grandson is really touched to see Miss Zheng's affection for her second uncle, since we have a while-"
As soon as he was halfway through his words, Jiangmo, who was kneeling under him, suddenly realized something, she grabbed the corner of his clothes, there was an irrepressible pain in her eyes, but her mouth kept repeating two words, "Don't, don't ......"
Seeing her like this, the softest place in his heart seemed to be pierced with a sharp knife, and he continued with a sneer: "Since we are here once, why don't you propose marriage for the second uncle?" ”
