Ye Zhan was silent for a while, then plucked up his courage and said, "Mr. Xu, my mother and I don't know what to do about this, my mother asked me to ask what you mean." Ye Jie fell in love with Gao Chen. ”

Xu Lang had already known about this from Cheng Yiyi and Zhao Zhiruo's mouths, and he didn't show any surprise: "Ye Zhan, I won't tell you, the last time you three brothers brought Ye Jie to eat with me, you Sister Yiyi and Sister Zhiruo saw it, but we didn't say it, and I didn't ask Gao Chen." You also know Gao Chen's current situation, I think your mother must mean that she will not let your sister be Gao Chen's concubine. ”

"Mr. Xu, that's why it's not easy to do." Ye Zhan was a little happy when he heard Xu Lang say that he already knew, since Mr. Xu knew, there would definitely be a solution, "My mother said, you can do anything, but you can't be a concubine." Ye Jie is also strong, and told my mother that no one will marry except Gao Chen. ”

Xu Lang poured Ye Zhan a glass of wine: "Who do you say your sister's temper is like, how can she be so tough." ”

Ye Zhan didn't hear that Xu Lang was joking, and replied seriously: "Like my mother, my mother has always been very tough. ”

"Huh." Xu Lang laughed twice and raised his glass at Ye Zhan, "Ye Zhan, you and Gao Chen, including Ye Yan, Ye Li, Bihe, and Ziyun, I have always treated you as my own children. I've been thinking about this for a long time, and it's time to solve it. Gao Chen is the same age as you, he is 23 years old this year, and it is a bit late not to get married. You see if this will work, you go back and talk to your mother, so that she doesn't have to worry first. I know the situation on Gao Chen's side, his parents are in Yazhou, and they are not from a wealthy family, and there is a brother at home. The people over there are also well-off families, and they seem to be in business. I took the time to go to Yazhou to meet Gao Chen's parents and listen to what they meant first. If they can't go to see the family that is married again, and say everything thoroughly, I think they should be able to understand, after all, we can withdraw from the marriage in Yulin Bay now. ”

Ye Zhan still felt very uneasy: "Mr. Xu, what if you come out and still don't agree to withdraw from the marriage." ”

"If my portion isn't enough." Xu Lang thought for a while, "Then I'll invite Lu Lao out, or go to Zhou Chongde, or go directly to Yazhou Zhizhou, the weight of Zhizhou should be enough." ”

Ye Zhan felt even more inappropriate: "Mr. Xu, isn't that what we are doing with power, it's not good." ”

"Ye Zhan, this matter has to be seen from two sides, we will never force them." Xu Lang explained, "The twisted melon is not sweet, no matter who comes forward, the key is that Gao Chen himself is unwilling." He doesn't want to, and he can't be regarded as overwhelming. ”

Ye Zhan didn't have a good solution: "Then thank you Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu will help ask first." ”

"But Ye Zhan." Xu Lang smiled again, "You and Gao Chen are also good friends, does he have any feelings for your sister?" I'm not going to ask about that, but you have a chance to ask him. If Gao Chen also likes your sister, then this matter will be much easier. ”

"Okay, Mr. Xu." Ye Zhan stood up, "The students are leaving, and Mr. Xu is also resting early." ”

"Well, don't go, drink with me again." Xu Lang grabbed Ye Zhan, thought about it and let go of his hand, "Forget it, I won't keep you." You're about to pull it out again, go back and accompany Bihe, and try to plant another one before leaving. ”

Ye Zhan was a little embarrassed and saluted: "The student said goodbye." ”

Ye Zhan left, Cheng Yiyi and Zhao Zhiruo returned to the restaurant: "Xu Lang, I haven't finished eating yet." No matter how Ye Zhan left, he didn't accompany you to have a few more drinks. ”

Xu Lang said with a smile: "People have someone's business, and they have to go to the plough to sow seeds before they start plucking." ”

Cheng Yiyi poked Xu Lang's finger: "Can you pay attention to what you say, this is the military affairs you are talking about?" ”

"It's really not a militaristic thing." Xu Lang pulled the two of them to sit on the chair and told Ye Jie and Gao Chen in detail.

"I'm talking about it." Cheng Yiyi said with a smile, "You have to worry about Gao Chen's affairs. ”

Zhao Zhiruo suddenly said thoughtfully: "It seems that I am still very lucky." ”

Cheng Yiyi turned her head and asked, "Zhiruo, why did you suddenly say that, this matter has nothing to do with us." ”

"Sister Yiyi, I didn't mean this." Zhao Zhiruo lowered her head and said, "I also made up my mind at the beginning, unless Xu Lang does not marry." Heaven has blessed me with what I want. ”

"Zhiruo, Yiyi." Xu Lang took the hands of the two people, "Let me ask you a question, when did you start not marrying me?" ”

Before Zhao Zhiruo could answer, Cheng Yiyi preemptively said: "What do you think, if you don't marry, let's have a sweet dream." If you hadn't begged me in vain, I would have gotten married. You don't know how many love letters I received when we first came to Yulin Bay. ”

"Who dares to write a love letter to my wife, I don't want to mess up." Xu Lang slapped the table and smiled, "I don't know how powerful the chief of the general staff is, but he is also a brigadier general, so he transferred a regiment to destroy him." ”

"Forget it." Cheng Yiyi and Zhao Zhiruo laughed together, "As far as the number of people in your General Staff is concerned, you can count them with five fingers, and you can kill anyone." ”

Xu Lang hugged the two of them in his arms with the intention of drinking, "Seriously, when did you all marry me when you didn't marry." ”

Zhao Zhiruo said first: "It was when you carried me out in Yun Gui Fang. I was carried by you, and suddenly I felt a sense of security, feeling that as long as I could be with you, I was not afraid of anything. From then on, I decided that I would follow you in my life, whatever I wanted, whether I could be a maid. ”

"Yiyi, what about you." Xu Lang tilted his head again and asked.

"You really want to know?" Cheng Yiyi asked rhetorically, "Don't regret it." ”

"What can I regret?" Xu Lang smiled, "It's too late to regret it." ”

Cheng Yiyi pursed her lips: "Although I have had a good impression of you since we came to Yulin Bay, and it can be said that I have liked you, but your attitude towards me has made me hesitate all the time." Until that time, you were angry with me for the woman you will never see again, and then you went out drinking with Shi Xianyang and Liu Guannan, and you got drunk. It was that time that I felt that you were a truly affectionate and righteous person, and as long as I followed you, your heart would never betray me. ”

After listening to Cheng Yiyi, Xu Lang let go of the two of them, tears flowed from his eyes: "It's been ten years, I have let go of everything, but I can't let go of her." It's been ten years, and I rarely think of her anymore, but she has always been in my heart and can never be erased. Yiyi, thank you for understanding me. ”

Zhao Zhiruo couldn't understand the words of the two people: "Xu Lang, Sister Yiyi, who are you talking about, who makes Xu Lang unable to let go for ten years." ”

"Zhiruo." Cheng Yiyi took Zhao Zhiruo's hand, "I haven't told you about this matter, so you don't know." When we were in our homeland, Xu Lang was married, and his first wife is still staying in his homeland, I don't know if she is still waiting for him. But we can't go back, and it's impossible to see each other again in this life. ”

"No, Sister Yiyi." Zhao Zhiruo said, "How can we not see each other again." We now have so many ships in Yulin Bay, we can go to Annam, Nanyang, and North Korea, and we can't go anywhere. Xu Lang, you go to find a boat, and I will accompany you to pick up the eldest lady tomorrow, she is your wife. ”

Xu Lang hugged the two of them in his arms again: "Zhiruo, you are right, Sister Yiyi is right, our homeland is too far away, and we can't go back in this life." ”

Zhao Zhiruo still didn't understand, but didn't ask any more why she couldn't go back: "Xu Lang, what is the name of the eldest lady and what does she look like?" ”

"Her name is Tan Xue." Xu Lang replied truthfully, "She looks a little like you, but her eyebrows are a little longer and the bridge of her nose is higher." ”

"Oh." Zhao Zhiruo nodded silently.

The next day, when Xu Lang came home from work, he saw Cheng Yiyi and all the maids in the family standing in the courtyard, including Lu Tianxiang and his wife and Chen.

"Why are you all standing here?" Xu Lang asked puzzled, "What about Zhiruo." Lu Lao, Aunt He, why don't you enter the house. ”

"Zhiruo's virtuous is too much." Cheng Yiyi's words were a little annoyed, "I don't listen to anyone, not even Lu Lao and Aunt He's words, you hurry up and go in and take a look, Xiaoyan and Xiaoyong are also inside." ”

Xu Lang walked into the main hall quickly, and at a glance, he saw a painting hanging on the wall of the main hall, and the portrait was a graceful and elegant lady, with a slight resemblance to Tan Xue between her eyebrows. A few words were written in the upper right corner of the portrait: "Lady Tan Xue." ”

Xiaoyan and Xiaoyong were kneeling in front of the portrait, and Zhao Zhiruo also knelt beside the two children and said: "Xiaoyan, Xiaoyong, from today onwards, you remember that this is your eldest mother and your father's real wife." ”

Xiaoyan asked, "Erniang, who is she and why do we call her Auntie." ”

"Because she's your aunt." Zhao Zhiruo replied, "In the future, you will call me Sanniang, and Sister Yiyi Erniang." ”

Xu Lang couldn't cry or laugh a little, and stepped forward to take off the portrait on the wall. Zhao Zhiruo hurriedly got up and stopped: "Xu Lang, I didn't know before, but now I know." This is what I just painted today, I don't know if it looks like Sister Tan's face, but I will hang her here. I want everyone in the Xu family to know that this is the real lady. ”

"Zhiruo, you really painted it like that." Xu Lang still took off the portrait and said to Xiaoyan and Xiaoyong, "Grandparents are in the yard, and Chen's mother and aunt are also there, they call you, hurry up and go out to have a look." ”

"Okay, Dad." The two children were very tired from kneeling, and when they heard Xu Lang say this, they hurriedly got up and ran out.

Xu Lang pulled Zhao Zhiruo to sit down: "Zhiruo, let me ask you a word, now that you are with me and Sister Yiyi, are you happy?" ”

"Of course I'm happy, it's the life I've always dreamed of."

"Then would you like someone else to break into our lives?" Xu Lang continued to ask, "For example, are you willing to marry another one?" ”

"Xu Lang, this is different."

"I know it's different." Xu Lang interrupted Zhao Zhiruo's words, pulled up Zhao Zhiruo's hand and put it on his chest, "Just put it here." I put everything I had before, all my feelings, my parents, and my family in my homeland. I will not forget them, never will, but life must go on, and I can't stop living because I can't let go. Whether it's Lu Lao and Aunt He, or Sister Yiyi, all of us, the remnants of the Song Dynasty, we have put everything in our hearts, but we still have to look forward, we can't stop because we can't forget, can you understand what I mean? ”

"But Xu Lang." Zhao Zhiruo said, "I also want to put Sister Tan in my heart, and I don't want you to forget her, let alone let the children forget her." ”

Xu Lang knew that he couldn't explain clearly to Zhao Zhiruo: "Zhiruo, listen to me." You keep this portrait first, and when it comes to your sister Tan's birthday, I will join you, just the two of us, and wish her birthday together. But now, don't let this incident bring any waves to our family, I am already very happy and satisfied in this family. ”

Zhao Zhiruo nodded as if she didn't understand: "Xu Lang, I listen to you." ”
