Chapter 49: Parting Ways (Part I)
"Lord Xia..."Peng Yue waited outside the door of the room for a while, and when he saw Xia Yan coming out, he hurriedly greeted him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It turned out to be Zirui..."Xia Yan was expressionless, replied coldly, and walked forward quickly.
"Lord Xia's health is better?" Peng Yue hurriedly chased after him, since he married Ziling, Peng Yue knew that there was a rift between him and Xia Yan. Peng Yue has been trying to repair it, but Xia Yan has always been cold to himself. Just a few days ago, he made a special trip to Xia Yan's mansion to visit, but he was stopped at the door, saying that Lord Xia was infected with illness and it was inconvenient to see guests, his meaning was self-evident, but Peng Yue could only shake his head helplessly.
"It's very good, but Lord Li hasn't been in good health recently..."Xia Yan's footsteps did not slow down as Peng Yue chased after him.
When Peng Yue heard Xia Yan say this, he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart. He said that he was in good health, so why did he say that he was ill when he got married, and why did he say that he was unfortunately infected when he came to visit, isn't this obviously not giving himself a step?
In addition, Xia Yan said that Master Li Shili is not in good health, is this a demonstration to himself? It is nothing more than a matter of the cabinet, Li Shi has completely left it alone, and he has taken sole control of the cabinet.
Peng Yue couldn't help but be a little angry at Xia Yan's cautious eyes, thinking that he had been friends with Xia Yan for several years, but now he had a bad relationship with Xia Yan because of this matter, and it was really not worth it for Xia Yan to be angry about it. But thinking about his rejection of Xia Yan's proposal, and instead marrying a woman from a somewhat humble background in everyone's opinion, and this matter has spread throughout the entire court, it really makes Xia Yan very embarrassed.
I remember that when Zhang Xuan was in charge of the government before, in Zhang Zhang's party, Gui Cao, Fang Xianfu and others were divided and merged, and there were often contradictions. Peng Yue thought at that time whether he and Xia Yan would have a conflict or even a complete break because of something in the future, after all, in the face of interests, there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies. Unexpectedly, now that he has become a poke, he really has a conflict with Xia Yan, although it has not reached the point of breaking up, but it can also be said to be the biggest "relationship crisis" that he has encountered in the past few years of his relationship with Xia Yan. And the most ridiculous thing is that the contradiction between himself and Xia Yan is not because of interests, but because of his marriage, maybe there are so many things in the world that people don't expect.
So many thoughts flooded Peng Yue's mind, but they didn't make Peng Yue lose his mind. Peng Yue still decided to suppress the anger in his heart first, and repairing the relationship with Xia Yan was the most correct choice.
"It's good that Lord Xia is fine, I haven't seen Lord Xia much a few days ago, and I heard that Xia Yan is sick, and I've been worried about it all the time." Peng Yue put on a smile in front of Xia Yan again.
"Really?" Xia Yan smiled at Peng Yue, "You are newly married, and you are still thinking about me, I am really moved in my heart." ”
"Lord Xia..."Peng Yue frowned, and the anger in his heart gradually rose, "What happened before, it was me who was wrong, I didn't have a chance a few days ago, and today I am here to solemnly apologize to Lord Xia." Peng Yue said, bowed down and saluted Xia Yan.
"Zirui doesn't have to be like this..."Xia Yan turned his body back, his tone was still cold, "This kind of thing is reluctant, what kind of person do you like, I can't control you..."
"Lord Xia, don't say that, I'm really ashamed of this matter..."Peng Yue knew that although Xia Yan said that, his tone and his actions clearly told him that he still had a lot of resentment in his heart.
"It's useless for you to be ashamed to tell me, in this matter, what you really hurt is..."
"I know this..."Peng Yue had a sneering expression, "I will definitely visit the door in the coming day and personally apologize to Ling Qianjin..."
"You don't have to come over..."Xia Yan paused, "She doesn't want to see you now..."
"Uh..." Peng Yue was a little speechless by Xia Yan, "Then please ask Lord Xia to convey an apology for me..."
"She doesn't want to hear anything about you now..."Xia Yan turned his whole body around, leaving only Peng Yue's back.
When Peng Yue heard this, he couldn't say a word, he didn't expect that this incident would cause so much harm to Xia Yan's daughter. Originally, Peng Yue always felt that Xia Yan's daughter was a typical lady, and there was not a lot of contact with each other, so in this matter, Peng Yue only considered Xia Yan's feelings, but never considered Xia Yan's daughter's feelings. It turns out that Xia Yan's daughter attaches so much importance to this family business, and everyone will hold grudges, no wonder Xia Yan has such a big conflict with herself.
"Zirui, you said that you didn't agree to this matter, why did you make this matter... Do you know it? From such a distance, Peng Yue could hear the anger in Xia Yan's words, "Everyone in the court and China know that you and I are on good terms, but you refused this family business, and you let me... Where is the face? ”
"Sure enough, the biggest problem in Xia Yan's heart is his face..."Peng Yue sighed helplessly in his heart.
"Lord Xia, I didn't tell anyone about this, in fact, I didn't mention it to Ling'er before..."Peng Yue explained in a low voice.
"So what's going on... How did it become like this? ”
"Lord Xia, this matter is... There is a villain who is making a stumbling block..."Peng Yue thought of Zhao Wenhua's incident that day at this time, and he didn't feel depressed in his heart, so it was better to put the responsibility on him, let Xia Yan also have opinions about him, and by the way, it was better to rectify him, "At my wedding banquet a few days ago, Zhao Wenhua preached this matter to others, and I heard it with my own ears..."
"Okay, there's no need to talk about this anymore..."Xia Yan frowned, and when he heard Peng Yue mention the wedding banquet, Xia Yan felt unhappy. And Peng Yue pushed the matter onto others, and he couldn't argue with it. Anyway, now I don't have the face to inquire about who played a role in this matter, but one thing is certain: the culprit of the whole thing is Peng Yue, if Peng Yue does not refuse to get married, there will be many things!
"Lord Xia, you have to believe me..."Peng Yue continued to explain, "and there is no impermeable wall in the world..."
"Alright, don't say any more!" Xia Yan glared at Peng Yue sternly, "I said, I can't control who you want to marry, since the matter has come to this point, it will end here, don't mention it again!" ”
"Okay, I won't say it..."Peng Yue saw that he had been talking for a long time, Xia Yan's mood did not improve, and the anger in his heart gradually became heavier, "Then I hope Lord Xia will not be because of this matter..."
"Don't worry..."Before Peng Yue could finish speaking, Xia Yan interrupted him, "I'm not such a stingy person..."
"That Zirui has thanked my lord here..."Peng Yue saluted Xia Yan, and he couldn't say anything more. In fact, he has always thought that in the matter of feelings, he is really reluctant, he has always believed in true feelings, in his previous life, in this life, and has never changed. Feelings can't be tied to anything else, such as interests, such as power, but I can't tell Xia Yan about the modern love theory, and even if I tell Xia Yan, Xia Yan will definitely not accept that kind of statement.
"You don't have to thank me, from now on, you will seriously carry out your reforms, and I will deal with the daily government affairs in a down-to-earth manner..."Xia Yan's tone changed, "I would never have thought that you would marry Ziling, others don't know her identity, but I know it clearly, it seems that our views on many things are really different, and we don't conspire with each other..."
"Lord Xia, what do you mean by this?" There was also a chill in Peng Yue's words. At this time, Xia Yan's threat of "parting ways" with him in political affairs did not make him feel much, but Xia Yan's faintly revealed contempt for Ziling's identity made him unbearable. In fact, since I got married to Ziling, I have heard a lot of this kind of rumors, and I have always been very concerned about this kind of words and very angry. He can't accept the ancients' statement that marriage should pay attention to the equality of the family, just as the ancients couldn't accept that his kind of marriage will only be the result of feelings, not because of something else.
"What do I mean?" Xia Yan obviously didn't expect Peng Yue to ask himself like this, "You should know what I mean very well, and there are some things that I can't say clearly..."
"Lord Xia, the reason why I have come to you repeatedly to reconcile is not because I am afraid of your position, but... It's because of the deep friendship I have had with you over the past few years, and because of my respect for your official character and character..."
"Zirui, you..."Xia Yan was also slightly moved when he heard Peng Yue say this, "Don't worry, I won't be because of this... And do something despicable, as long as you do something that benefits the country and the people in the future, I will... Full support..."
"I'm glad that Lord Xia can say this..."Peng Yue's tone changed, staring straight at Xia Yan, "But there are a few words, I want to say to Lord Xia, my wife Ziling is indeed not from a noble background, but I like her, this is enough, and it can be completely a reason for me to marry her, I don't want to hear any more discussions about her identity in the future..."
Peng Yue didn't know why everyone was always entangled in the issue of status, if he took Ziling as a concubine, no one would say anything. If he married Ziling before he entered the office, no one would say anything, and if he wanted to take a break from Ziling after becoming an official, he would definitely be poked in the back. But he is now an official, and he has a large identity gap with Ziling, marrying Ziling as his wife at this time and making her the main room, but he has to bear so many rumors.
"You... You like her... There are more beautiful women in the world, why are you... Alas..."Xia Yan obviously didn't expect Peng Yue to say such a thing.
"I don't just like her because she's pretty, anyway, I don't regret the choice I made." Peng Yue said firmly.
In fact, before Peng Yue and Ziling got married, Peng Yue was not sure whether he really loved Ziling, because he and Ziling had a great coincidence, there were misunderstandings, there were facilitation, there were many reasons why Peng Yue couldn't say clearly, in short, it was complicated, but after getting married, Peng Yue understood that the reason why he married Ziling was because he loved her.
First of all, the relationship between himself and Ziling over the years cannot be replaced by anything, this kind of relationship is not love, beyond love, it is a kind of family affection condensed by time, and the generation of this family affection, in addition to love, will not be because of anything else. In fact, when the two get married, the relationship will eventually transform from love to affection, isn't it?
Secondly, Ziling has lived with herself for many years, and her values and temperament must have been greatly influenced by herself, and this is what she values the most. Peng Yue has always believed that if the two "three views" are not in harmony, they will not be able to be together at all, but he cannot guarantee that he will coincide with any woman in ancient times in terms of values, in fact, in Peng Yue's view, most ancient women will definitely not be able to accept their own set of values.
Finally, for a man, when a woman loves him enough and knows to cherish him everywhere, Peng Yue believes that most men will respond with passionate love. And he is like this, Ziling's love for herself is very clear, and it can be said that it is beyond words. Her subtle concern for herself and her spirit of never giving up will always move and shock her heart. And when I calm down and re-examine my relationship with Ziling, I can clearly admit that I love Ziling. Is this what "love because of love" means?
"Since you don't regret it, then what are you talking to me about here!" Xia Yan flicked his sleeves, and his face was a little indignant, "Forget it, I don't want to entangle with you in this matter again, and you don't want to mention this matter to me in the future!" ”
"Okay, it's come to this, it seems that it's useless for me to say anything..."Peng Yue couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart at this time, but this kind of thought could only be suppressed in his heart. Perhaps there are many things in the world that cannot be solved by a few words of explanation and an apology, but more needs to be baptized and repaired by time.
Peng Yue stood there a little dazed, and suddenly a familiar figure came into his eyes, only to see that the person walked farther and farther, and gradually came out of Peng Yue's sight, but Peng Yue recognized that person at a glance, it would definitely not be wrong, he was really back!
"Lord Xia... Lord Xia..."Peng Yue came back to his senses, and saw that Xia Yan hadn't gone too far, so he hurriedly chased after him, without further ado, he must explain this matter as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late to regret it!"
