Chapter XVI: The Marriage Contract
In the southeast corner of the bamboo garden, there is a quiet small building, which emits a faint candlelight, and here is the inexplicable study. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
At this time, he was inexplicably sitting by the window on the first floor, holding a booklet with a blue cover in his hand, reading with relish, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth from time to time.
"Father, what are you looking at?" Mo Fei suddenly pushed the door in, and looked inexplicably curious.
Inexplicably, he seemed to be taken aback, stood up with a swish, and closed the booklet in his hand with a panicked expression, raised his head and scolded angrily: "Rude, don't knock when you come in!" β
Mo Fei's eyes widened: "I didn't knock on the door before, and I haven't seen you get angry." Hey? Father! Why is there a trace of uneasiness in your eyes, did you just do something bad, and you were almost bumped into by me? β
"Nonsense!" With an inexplicable wave of his hand, he said, "Father is reading a confidential piece of information that is very important!" β
"The child is not an outsider, please tell my father to come and hear it!" Mo Fei continued to ask.
He coughed inexplicably, and then said: "The 300,000 troops of the Xihudong Royal Court are about to move, intending to go south!" β
Mo Fei raised his eyebrows when he heard this, revealing a puzzled expression.
Just because after the great change in Kyoto that year, in addition to Wan Qianying fleeing back to Fengzhou to establish the Great Qi regime, Jiang Qing returned to Yizhou to guard, and at the same time ordered no longer to obey the orders of the imperial court. The Xihu tribe also made a comeback, established the Usha Khanate, and invaded the two major capitals of Anxi and Anbei. However, soon the internal strife of the Wusha Khan was divided into two parts, the east and the west, among which the chief of the Western Wusha led the ten tribes, built a royal court in the Sanmi Mountain north of the Western Regions, and had 300,000 people who controlled the strings; The commander of the five tribes of Dongwusha built the royal court in Yudu Jin Mountain in Mobei, and had 100,000 people who controlled the strings. So, herein lies the problem.
"Father, as far as I know, there are only 100,000 iron horsemen in the Xihudong Royal Court." Mo Fei asked.
"Oh, is it? That is, the father is wrong, it is the 300,000 army of the Western Royal Court that is ready to move, intending to go south! β
"Father Qiqi, even if it is the Western Royal Court, it will be 200,000 soldiers and horses at most!"
"Oh, yes - I guess my father is wrong, I'll see... Huh" Mo Fei reopened the booklet, only glanced at it and hurriedly closed it: "It turned out that the 300,000 troops of the Eastern and Western Royal Courts were about to move, intending to go south!" β
Mo Fei suddenly laughed when he heard this: "Not to mention these common-sense mistakes, even the most ordinary soldiers in Qinglong Pass will not make them." And since the division of the Western Husha Khanate for many years, they have been fighting each other for many years, and they have fought happily, and it is impossible to reconcile easily, you know this better than me! The most important thing is that His Royal Highness the King of Qin is now leading a force to fight in the Western Regions, and if the Western Royal Court does not defend, how can he still have the mind to go south. Father, you must have a ghost in your heart, come quickly and truthfully, and the child will listen to it. β
Inexplicably, his face became embarrassed, and then he sighed, and said seriously: "Since this is the case, my father won't hide it from you, this booklet was sent by Yizhou, so... Do you understand? β
Mo Fei suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning, and said in shock: "It can't be..."
Inexplicably smiled: "Well, you and your cousin Qingyuan have been married since childhood, and now your marriage date has been set by your Uncle Jiang Qing, and after the year, my father also intends to agree." β
Mo Fei was furious when he heard this: "Father, the child is resolutely opposed, if necessary-"
Inexplicably, he took the words: "Strongly condemn it if necessary, right!" Xiao Fei, as far as I know, aren't you still shouting in Qingcheng Road today, 'Marry a wife and go into the cave room'! β
"But Jiang Qingyuan is my cousin, it's ****** to do this, and if you give birth to a child, you will probably be an idiot, you are a careless person!" It is not a matter of reasoning.
Inexplicably smiled slightly: "Xiao Fei, you were picked up by me and your mother on the side of the road, even if you have a hundred dolls with Qingyuan, it's fine, and don't worry." β
Mo Fei was stunned at first when he heard this, and forgot about this stubble when he was excited just now, but he still replied unwillingly: "Father, although I am not your biological son, I am better than my own son, you can't cheat me like this!" β
"Son, although I am not your biological father, I am better than my biological father, you can't blame me so much!" said inexplicably lightly, and then asked with a smile: "You know, your cousin Qingyuan was not very reluctant to get married, and even ran away from home in anger two years ago, and after returning home a few days ago, she finally reluctantly agreed." Now that you're here, you're starting to regret it again, tell me, why don't you want to? β
"Damn, she's a fat earth, and she doesn't like me!" Mo Fei said secretly in his heart, and then replied: "Father, I really don't hide it! I don't think I'm a good fit with my cousin. β
"What's not right? Be specific. β
"Look at the child is tall and thin, handsome and dashing, suave... You are looking at the round cousin, you have the impression that she is not tall, her body is very round, and her face is covered with pockmarks..."
"Father understands, it turns out that you don't like your cousin Qingyuan, so you should have explained it earlier."
"Yes, father, but if you say it too clearly, won't it hurt my cousin's heart very much."
"Hah! What you just said is very clear! He smiled inexplicably, and then said: "It's just that you seem to have forgotten that the last time you saw your cousin Qingyuan was ten years ago." At that time, Qingyuan's mother, who was your aunt, took her to Qinglong Mountain, when the two of you were only seven years old, and your aunt recognized you at a glance, and set a baby kiss for the two of you on the spot, and said that it was a kiss and a kiss. It's a pity that not long after, your aunt passed away unexpectedly, and Qingyuan never came again, so your impression of Qingyuan is still only when she was seven years old. Now ten years have passed, Qingyuan has grown up, but he is slim and beautiful like a flower. β
"It's conclusive, could it be that my father has already seen my cousin Qingyuan? It can't be - she's up the mountain, right? β
"Not really, but your uncle sent me a clear portrait, and after I saw it with your mother, I liked it very much." After saying it inexplicably, he immediately took out a painting and handed it over: "You can also take a look." β
When he saw what his father said, he couldn't help but look forward to it, and thought to himself, 'Could it be that the eighteenth change of the female college has really become so beautiful?' However, when Mo Fei fixed his eyes on the portrait, his whole body trembled, and he couldn't help but rub his eyes again and continue to look at it.
I saw a bloated, unattractive woman standing serenely on the paper, her round and fat face with some faint black spots, and a basket full of eggs in her hand......
Holy! Was it because I was blind, or was my father clumsyβthis was called slim? Is this called beautiful as a flower? The whole grows up and upgrades the soil fat round.
"Isn't it beautiful like a person in a painting?" Inexplicably squinted his eyes and asked.
"Heaven, earth, this is not the person in the painting!" Mo Fei said bitterly: "Father, please spare me!" β
"Looks like you're satisfied! Then the matter is decided, and the marriage will be made after the year. He smiled inexplicably.
"Father, let's talk about it again?" It's a dying struggle.
"Not negotiable!"
"Father, if it's not like this, my mother's sister Aunt Lan and her daughter, Cousin Summer, have often come to the mountains to visit relatives since she was a child, and compared to Cousin Qingyuan, we are childhood sweethearts, and we have no guesses, or-"
"No, my father is just a sister like your aunt, it's a pity that she went early, but her wish, my father must fulfill it, Qingyuan, you are married." Inexplicably said resolutely.
Could it be that when he saw that his father had made up his mind, he wanted to cry without tears in his heart......
