Chapter 0022: Patriarch Shen's Choice
Today is the annual temple fair in the county, but for people like Patriarch Shen, who are older, there is no longer too much excitement in their hearts.
Patriarch Shen looked at the crowd of people talking and laughing on the street, the laughing children shuttling back and forth, and the vendors shouting hard one after another, and then sighed and walked home. Maybe you're still worried about the lack of water!
As soon as Patriarch Shen arrived in the living room, Shen Feng and Shen Yun walked in with a serious face.
Looking at the silent eldest son and the second son who was still angry, Patriarch Shen frowned and asked in surprise: "What's the matter, is there a fight on the street again?" ”
Shen Yun remembered the little sister and Jiang Xiaoyan hugging on the street again, glanced at Shen Feng and muttered, "Big brother, let's talk about it." ”
"What the hell is going on?"
Patriarch Shen was even more surprised when he saw that his second son, who was usually reckless, was now spitting and spitting.
Shen Feng, who was silent on the side, sighed and said in a deep voice: "I came here to fight, but I didn't succeed, but I was a little sister." ”
"Xiao Wu? What's wrong with Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu has made me worry a lot more than the two of you! Patriarch Shen looked puzzled, but he didn't look like the two of them were pretending, and then grabbed Shen Feng's sleeve and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with Xiao Wu?" ”
"Little sister, little sister has a private relationship with a man, and let everyone see it at the temple fair!"
"What! Private, emotional? Xiao Wu? ”
Hearing Shen Feng's words, Old Man Shen glared at Shen Feng incredulously.
Shen Feng didn't dare to look at his father anymore, and lowered his head heavily.
You must know that people pay the most attention to honor, and girls must know how to abide by women's morals, private affairs, and affection, and this kind of moral thing is even more intolerable by people.
Although Shen Feng didn't say anything more, that expression was acquiescing! The sweltering air in the room was steaming Shen Patriarch a little irritable, so he naturally tightened Shen Feng's sleeves, stared at Shen Feng and asked tremblingly, "Tell me quickly, what's going on!" ”
Shen Feng looked at his father's powerless appearance, and then thought about his little sister who had been under the care of him and his second brother since childhood. With a long exhale, he told me everything about what happened on the street today.
After listening to Shen Feng's words, Old Man Shen's face was blank, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back, and laughed angrily: "Hehe, don't worry, don't worry!" ”
Seeing their father like this, the two brothers were heartbroken, and the second Shen Yun roared with red eyes: "Dad, the little sister is not a person who does not abide by women's morals!" It must be Jiang Xiaoyan's plan, I'm going to kill him! After saying that, he wanted to go out with red eyes.
"Get the hell out of here! It's not messy enough, isn't it? ”
Patriarch Shen roared at Shen Yun, who was about to go out, and then calmed down, as if he felt that anger could not solve any problems, and couldn't help but say to Shen Feng: "What about the little dancer? Let her come and see me! ”
"Father, I also believe that the little sister will do such a bad thing, after all, after all, the little sister is what we grew up watching!" The silent Shen Feng looked at his sad father and said in a deep voice.
"Don't say it, go and call Xiao Wu, I'll ask her properly."
Shen Feng knew that his father was angry now, so he glanced at Shen Yun, sighed and slowly exited the room.
Xiao Wu and the others naturally heard Old Man Shen's roaring voice outside the door, and saw the two brothers coming weakly.
Before everyone could speak, Shen Feng reluctantly smiled at everyone, and then looked at Xiao Wu sincerely and said softly: "Little sister, my father asked you to have a good talk with him." No matter what, you're the little sister of the eldest brother and the second brother! ”
Hearing the words of the eldest brother, Xiao Wu seemed to think of the situation when the eldest brother and the second brother took him to play when he was a child, his big eyes turned red again, and the two brothers saw the little sister like this, but they couldn't do anything, this is a matter of honor, not to mention that she is still a girl!
"Sister Yingying."
Xiao Wu looked at the silent two brothers, and couldn't help but grab Zhang Yingying's arm, at this time, she trusted Zhang Yingying the most.
Zhang Yingying patted Xiao Wu and encouraged: "Go ahead, tell your father everything, everyone knows your difficulties, and your father won't blame you!" ”
Xiao Wu had a little courage at this time, lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong, and slowly walked into the room.
Seeing Xiao Wu walking with his head down, Patriarch Shen felt unusually bored in his heart, is this still the little girl who is jumping around in front of me! Patriarch Shen kept asking himself in his heart.
"Daddy."
When Xiao Wu saw her father, the grievances in her heart came to her heart, and as soon as she shouted out, she couldn't help crying. She's bitter, she's afraid! Seeing the person closest to him, all the grievances couldn't help but flow out with tears.
Looking at his daughter who was crying, Patriarch Shen instinctively pulled Xiao Wu down to his side, gently stroked Xiao Wu's head and said kindly: "Don't cry, there is a daddy!" It's okay, it's okay. ”
Listening to her father's loving voice, Xiao Wu was like a bird in a storm that had found a home, and suddenly threw herself into her father's arms and cried even more fiercely.
Patriarch Shen looked at his daughter who was crying aggrievedly in his arms, and comforted him vigorously. Probably tired of crying, Xiao Wu hid in his father's arms and began to whisper the story of him and Jiang Xiaoyan.
After Xiao Wu finished speaking, Old Man Shen was also a little moved, a year, not long, not short. The two can still remember each other.
But then Patriarch Shen sighed again, stroked Xiao Wu's head and said softly to Xiao Wu: "Daddy knows your suffering, but let's not talk about the two of us fighting for water, you are an unmarried girl who casually lets people hold her, what will the neighborhood think of you!" ”
"I don't care what others think, I really like Brother Xiaoyan, I like to be with him." Xiao Wu said coquettishly in her father's arms like an angry child.
"Alas!"
Old Man Shen sighed, looked at the empty roof, patted Xiao Wu in his arms, and muttered: "Your mother left early, and your father is the head of the family, so he doesn't have much time to take care of your brothers and sisters." But after all, I am your father, and if my father doesn't help you, will he still let me stand on that understandable moral honor? Wife, I don't know if I did the right thing this time. ”
Xiao Wu may be tired of crying, or maybe she is too tired today and falls asleep quietly like a cat in her father's arms.
At this time, Zhang Yingying, who was standing outside the door, looked at Liu Chan, who was also silent, and asked worriedly: "Brother Adou, Xiao Wu will be fine, right?" ”。
Everyone may have been silent for a long time, and when Zhang Yingying suddenly asked, they couldn't help but look at Liu Chan.
Liu Chan now doesn't have the lazy appearance of the past, and he doesn't blink back to answer Yingying's questions. looked at Shen Feng and Ma Dai, and said in a deep voice: "I know that you two also want to help Xiao Wu, but there is a big gap between the two of you, or the gap between your two clans!" ”
Before Liu Chan could say anything, the silent Shen Feng pondered for a moment and said, "You mean water!" ”
Liu Chan nodded, and then said: "That's right, it's because of the lack of water, if it weren't for the lack of water, the two clans wouldn't be so stiff!" ”
Shen Yun on the side said disdainfully: "This is not nonsense, if there is water, who is idle and has nothing to trouble with that group of Qiang people." ”
Shen Feng also nodded in agreement. And Liu Chan didn't argue with Shen Yun about anything, looked at Ma Dai and said in a deep voice: "General Ma, I don't know if you can convince the Qiang people not to store water first, after all, they live by hunting, and they are afraid of running out of water so they rush to store water." Let the Han people water the crops first, but the Han people rely on these lands. ”
Ma Dai knew Liu Chan's identity, and since Liu Chan said so, he must have done it himself.
Originally, he was not very sure at first, after all, the patriarch of the Qiang tribe was his uncle. But after what happened to Xiao Wu and Xiao Yan, he was even more sure. With his own understanding of his uncle, he would definitely not let his prospective daughter-in-law's clansmen starve to death due to lack of water.
Ma Dai nodded seriously and assured Liu Chan: "I will definitely be able to convince the Qiang people." ”
Liu Chan was not surprised, squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "This is not enough, the people value the name and honor so much. Today, so many people Xiao Yan and Xiao Wu are embracing each other on the street, and it is inevitable that they will make irresponsible remarks. ”
"Don't sell it, hurry up! So what else to do? Zhang Yingying looked at Liu Chan with a mysterious look, and couldn't help but urge with rolled her eyes.
Liu Chan looked up to the sky and laughed, then squinted at everyone and said with a smile: "The Son of Heaven gives marriage."
"The Son of Heaven gives marriage!"
When Liu Chan said this, the two brothers of the Shen family were taken aback. Who is the Son of Heaven, that is a high-ranking person, let such a high-ranking figure marry a people's daughter. It's something they can't even think of.
Even Shen Feng, who has always been thoughtful, was amused by Liu Chan's words: "Brother Liu, don't be joking, we are all the same people, how can we expect the Son of Heaven to give you a marriage!" ”
"Haha, don't the people value the name festival the most, then let the Son of Heaven give him a marriage and give Xiao Wu a great name! Let's see who else can talk nonsense. After Liu Chan finished speaking, he then looked at Ma Dai and squinted and smiled: "I remember that General Ma is a big celebrity around the Son of Heaven, I want General Ma Dai to say, it shouldn't be difficult!" ”
"Uh...... This, it's not difficult, it's not difficult. Hearing Liu Chan say this, Ma Dai smiled awkwardly and waved his hand, thinking that you have said so, what else is it difficult for me.
"Can you really let the Son of Heaven marry your little sister?" Shen Yun subconsciously looked at Ma Dai excitedly, and then suddenly saluted Ma Dai gratefully: "That's really thank you General Ma for becoming a little sister, and the great kindness is speechless!" ”
"Don't, thank your majesty for your wisdom."
"Yes, yes, thank you, thank you, thank you." The reckless Shen Yun said and did not forget to bow to the sky.
Seeing that Xiao Wu's matter was finally resolved, and then looking at Shen Yunhan's appearance, Zhang Yingying couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker, and didn't forget to look at Liu Chan who looked cheap on the side while laughing. This is the first time she feels that Brother Adou's cheap appearance is actually quite handsome.
Just after everyone had just put down Xiao Wu's matter, the housekeeper hurriedly ran over, and said in a panic: "The eldest young master and the second young master, go and take a look, a group of Qiang people are coming to the door!" ”
Hearing what the housekeeper said, Shen Yun's bear temper came up again, pulled up his sleeves, and roared angrily: "His grandmother's, I haven't gone to settle accounts with them yet, but I came to the door by myself, this time the old accounts and old accounts will be settled together!" As he spoke, he picked up a wooden stick and rushed out.
