Chapter 36: Decision

In the following period, Han Xin had an excuse to go to Yufu often. In the first few days, Xiang Yu also followed with great interest, it can be seen that the two of them just practiced sword dance with a clear eye, and did not smile, and gradually felt bored. In addition, how could he be an idler like Han Xin, and there were endless things to deal with every day, so he would no longer follow.

Yu Miaoyi was just looking for an excuse to get close to Han Xin at first, but because of Xiang Yu's presence, she had to pretend to be very serious and learn sword dance with Han Xin. But unexpectedly, after a long time, I actually liked sword dance, and I also looked good when I learned it. Han Xin saw that her body was already very weak, and learning sword dance could also strengthen her muscles and bones, which was beneficial and harmless, so she also taught her very seriously.

Yu Qi was a little relieved at first, and always told the maid and maid to follow and pay more attention, Han Xin and Yu Miaoyi would never let them have a chance to be alone when they were together. Later, he heard the news that Han Xin and Yu Ji were just practicing sword dancing in a proper manner, and they did not do anything that he was worried about. Only then was he relieved, but he blamed himself for being too suspicious.

The corresponding supervision is also much lax, although there are still people waiting on the side, but they will not leave an inch.

On this day, Han Xin was accompanying Yu Miaoyi to practice the most difficult part of the sword dance, the 'Phoenix Dance Nine Days', which required the dancer to have a strong spirituality in kendo. Although Yu Miaoyi is smart and can understand it at all, after all, she has not been in contact with swordsmanship for a long time, and her body itself is weak. I've been practicing this paragraph hard for a few days, but I still can't understand it.

Han Xin saw that her forehead was drenched with sweat, and Jiao~ still gritted her teeth and continued to practice, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed, so she handed over the wet wipes and comforted her: "Miao Yi, this kind of thing is not something that can be understood in three days and two ends, you have done a good job during this time, don't force it." ”

Yu Miaoyi turned out wet wipes, wiped the sweat on her face, and pouted with some annoyance; "Hmph, I don't believe it, I won't be able to learn this paragraph."

Han Xin looked at her puffing up and felt very cute, so he reached out and gently scraped her nose, and said with a smile; "Then I'll demonstrate it again, you have to see it clearly."

Yu Miaoyi clapped her hands and laughed; "Okay, okay, I'll learn this time."

Because Xue Yan, who was waiting on the side, had just made an excuse to leave deliberately, the movements between the two came casually and were not restrained.

Han Xin pulled out the fish intestine and held his hand to conjure a sword flower, this time in order to let Yu Miaoyi see clearly, he doubled down his movements. Yu Miaoyi stared wide-eyed on the side, but she couldn't take her eyes off it. Suddenly, he seemed to have an understanding, danced the light sword in his hand, and stepped forward to dance with Han Xin.

Han Xin smiled slightly, and adjusted his body to match the rhythm of Shangyu Miaoyi. The two danced together in the garden like a fairy couple. I saw Han Xin dancing faster and faster, floating around Yu Miaoyi's body like a glimpse, and the strong wind puffed up the white clothes on Yu Miaoyi's body, fluttering like a nine-day fairy falling into the world.

It may be because of a day of practice, Yu Miaoyi's body is a little tired. Her feet slipped, her body toppled over, and Han Xin held her body.

With four eyes docked, Han Xin couldn't help the restlessness in his heart, and hugged Yu Miaoyi tightly into his arms. Yu Miaoyi's body was shocked, and she also stretched out her hand to return tightly.

After a long time, Yu Miaoyi said faintly in Han Xin's ear; "Brother Han, when do you say we will be together, will my father agree?"

Han Xin was silent for a while, gently lifted Yu Miaoyi's body away, looked into her eyes and said; "Miaoyi, you believe me, I'm thinking about how to be with you all the time."

"I know that your father cares a lot about the family, and he will never agree to marry you off to me like me. But you have to believe me, I will definitely work hard to get ahead, for you, for our future. ”

"One day, I will marry you with a gift of ten thousand times and a ten-mile-long frame, you believe me."

Yu Miaoyi burst into tears and laughed, and said angrily: "It's still a ten-mile-long frame, how luxurious it is, the emperor can't use such a big pomp to marry the queen, you want to be beheaded." ”

Han Xin grinned: "It depends on whether you are reluctant or not, if you don't want to be a widow as soon as you pass the door of my Han family, then you will elope with me honestly." ”

The two frolicked for a while, but they didn't notice an angry gaze on the balcony in the distance.

Yu Qiqiang held back his anger, withdrew his gaze from the two of them, and snorted coldly: "You already knew, right." ”

"Say, when did the two of them have an affair?"

Yu Zi lowered his head; "I don't know the specifics, the first time I met Xiaomei in Yan County, I noticed that the two were no longer right."

Yu Qi's gaze at his son was full of anger, "Then why did you only tell me now." ”

Yu Ziqi was silent for a while before speaking; "I was very opposed to marrying my little sister when I heard Brother Yu's meaning, and I thought that Han Xin was a talent, so I didn't interfere."

Yu Qi waved his hand categorically and said: "It is absolutely impossible, even if Xiang Yu has no intention of marrying Miaoyi, our dignified Yu family, six generations of high-ranking officials, how can we marry a cloth cloth, and if it is passed out, it will not become a laughing stock of people in the world." ”

"Besides, Xiang Yu's heart for Miao Yi, haven't you seen it that day? Let me tell you, Xiang Gong has already mentioned to me yesterday that his family Xiang Yu is interested in Miaoyi. ”

Yu Ziqi was silent for a while, and then bowed his head and said for a long time; "But father, you have also seen that the little sister has already moved her feelings for Han Xin. You should know the temperament of the little sister, although she looks delicate, but she is a fierce character. ”

"I'm afraid that if I push my little sister, she will do something drastic. Instead of forcing the little sister to death, it is better to fulfill them. That Han Xin, Brother Yu also praised him very much, I also think he is a character, he will become a great weapon one day, it is better to ......."

'Hmph', Yu Qi snorted coldly, interrupting Yu Ziqi's words, "Ziqi, you have been with Xiang Yu since you were a child, why didn't you learn his heroism, but learned his woman's kindness." ”

"I have made up my mind, my daughter must not marry Han Xin, she can only marry a hero like Xiang Yu."

Yu Ziqi opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all.

Yu Qi saw his son's gloomy expression, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he only had such a son after all.

patted him on the shoulder and said slowly; "In the sub-period, a family like ours that is burdened with national hatred and family hatred should not have too many personal feelings, and everything must be in the interests of the family first. Not to mention sacrificing a relationship, even if you sacrifice your life, you shouldn't have any complaints. ”

"You weren't the same at the beginning, you didn't even meet without makeup before marriage. I know you must have been reluctant at the time, but now, you husband and wife are not the same in love. So even if Miao Yi doesn't like Xiang Yu now, with Xiang Yu's courage, she will fall in love sooner or later. ”

"And the most important thing is that marrying the Xiang family is what my Yu family needs for a hundred generations. You have been close to Xiang Yu since you were a child, what do you think of Xiang Yu? ”

The Yuzi period is almost a thoughtless return; "Be a masterpiece in the world, don't be a two."

"So where do you think he's going to end up?"

Yu Ziqi showed a thoughtful look, and said after a while; "I think Brother Yu should become the first person after the restoration of Great Chu."

Unexpectedly, Yu Qi shook his head slowly, "You're wrong, sub-period." ”

"If you say that about Xiang Liang, I would think it's very right. Xiang Liang's ambition is just the Ling Yin of the Chu State. But you all saw Xiang Yu wrong, I saw something in his eyes, something that you don't have. ”

"That is desire, the desire for territorial rights, and he will never be willing to be subordinate to others."

Yu Qi looked at his son and said slowly, word by word; "Xiang Yu is determined to be in the world, how could the little Chu State let him stop. What he wants is the whole country, and what he wants to do is Qin Shihuang second. ”

Yu Zi's face was full of surprise, and his heart was like numbness. "Father, what should we do?"

"You should have heard a dialect that says, 'Rich and virtuous are only three generations'. Since the king of Chu mourning, my Yu family has gone through eight generations, experienced many ups and downs, and almost wiped out several times. Therefore, for the sake of our descendants, our Yu family must find a strong backer. ”

"And this person is Xiang Yu, if he becomes the king and becomes the emperor, our Yu family is a relative, why worry about the glory and disgrace of a hundred generations?"

Yu Ziqi took a deep breath and nodded: "Father, I understand your intentions, so what should we do?" ”

"The day after tomorrow, in my name, I invite the leaders of all families to come together, and I will say that I haven't seen you for a long time, and it should be time to gather together, so as not to be unfamiliar. Xiang Gong, you specially went over to send an invitation and explained to him what I meant. ”

Yu Qi's sudden invitation surprised everyone, for more than ten years, it has been the Xiang family that has led the Chu Di Qunhao, and the Yu family is just willing to play a supporting role, this time it was suddenly so showy, it couldn't help but make everyone guess what it was for.

This banquet is very different from the last family banquet, and it looks much more formal and heavy. Although the small hall on the island in the middle of the lake is chic, the layout is too small to accommodate so many people, and this time it was changed to the main hall of the Yu family.

When it was time for the dinner, the guests arrived. This time, Yu Qi invited not only the deacons of various families, but also young talents, including Ji Bu, Zhong Liwei, Long Ji and others, and of course, Xiang Yu and Han Xin. It's all together, and it's very lively.

When the wine was drunk and everyone was in high spirits, Yu Qi suddenly clapped his hands and said loudly; "Everyone, everyone, please listen to Yu's words."

Everyone quieted down, and they all turned their eyes to Yu Qi with a smile, curious about what he wanted to say.

Yu Qi smiled, "What's the point of everyone just drinking wine and eating meat, a few days ago, the little girl Miaoyi just learned a sword dance, you might as well let her come up and give everyone a dance, how about it." ”

The crowd laughed and shouted loudly. Yu Qi clapped his hands lightly a few times, and several maids stepped forward to blow out the lights, and the hall suddenly fell into darkness.

I heard the sound of the sheng flute again, and a girl in white slowly paced into the hall with the music, the light sword in her hand was slowly waved, accompanied by the long sleeves that flowed down like flowing water, and she danced with a light veil on her face, which made people yearn for it in a hazy way. The sound of the sheng flute flickered and suppressed, and the girl was whispering and sobbing to tell the girl's longing, and the person who missed was chosen to be on the edge of the sky.

Suddenly, the sound of the sheng flute turned, the tune became intense, and the girl's posture also rotated rapidly, and the sword in her hand struggled forward, with a sense of no return. Although it is only a women's sword dance, it makes people feel the cold color of the battlefield. The sound of the flute suddenly turned again, and returned to the original gentleness and softness, and the girl's dancing posture slowed down, the long sword pointed to the sky, and the music suddenly stopped.

After a long silence, I saw the light yarn slowly falling down, revealing the girl's peerless face.

"Okay." I don't know who took the lead in applauding loudly, the whole hall was boiling, and there was a lot of applause, especially Xiang Yu and other young people, who applauded the most.

Yu Qi sat down and took her daughter's hand with a smile, and suddenly raised her hand to press it, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"I invited everyone to the banquet today, in fact, because Xiang Gong and I have something to announce." Xiang Liang also stood up at this time, walked forward with a smile, and also held Yu Miaoyi's hand.

Han Xin only felt a tightness in his heart when he saw this scene, and he already felt bad in his heart, and sure enough, he heard Xiang Liang say with a smile: "Today, Xiang Yu, the child of my Xiang family, will make a marriage contract with Yu Miaoyi, the daughter of Duke Yu. Xiang Yu's two families will always be good for Qin and Jin. ”

Xiang Yu, who was on the seat, was stunned for a moment, and then was overjoyed. He just said something to his uncle that he regretted and pushed away his relatives, but he didn't expect his uncle and Yu Gong to move so fast, and his heart suddenly burst into joy, and he left his seat and rushed forward, bowing to Yu Gong to the ground:

"Thank you Duke Yu for your love, Xiang Yu will definitely do his best for his life and will not let Miss suffer the slightest grievance." The others also coaxed, and the people in the entire hall stood up and stepped forward to congratulate Xiang Liang and Yu Qi.

Yu Qi smiled and was about to answer, but Yu Miaoyi's somewhat trembling voice sounded beside him:

"Father, I don't want to marry Brother Xiang."

Although the sound was small, it was like a thunderbolt that stunned the people around him, and the hall that was still noisy just now suddenly fell silent.

Yu Qi glared at Yu Miaoyi angrily: "What did you say?" ”

Yu Miaoyi's face was pale, and her eyelashes trembled slightly, but she raised her head hard: "I said I don't want to, I don't want to marry Brother Xiang." ”

"You ......" Yu Qi was so angry that she raised her finger and pointed at her daughter angrily, "Since ancient times, weddings have been the orders of parents and matchmakers, so why do you say no." “

Yu Miaoyi didn't say anything, just shook her head stubbornly, her eyes full of tears. Seeing this, Yu Qi was furious, and raised his palm high, but his hand was tight, but it was Xiang Yu who held his arm.

"Uncle, don't be impatient." Xiang Yu confessed to Yu Qi, turned around and looked straight at Yu Miaoyi, his face calm.

"Miss Yu, Xiang is really so unbearable, can't he get into your eyes, Miss?"

Yu Miaoyi bit her lower lip and shook her head.

"Brother Xiang, you are very good. You saved me, you were so kind to me, you ran around for my birthday present for so long, I know all this. ”

"Brother Xiang, I also know that you are a big hero who stands up to the sky, many girls want to marry a hero like you, I am really honored to be loved by you, I am very honored."

"It's just that I already have a sweetheart, and we swore together that we want to live up to it in this life."

A hint of fierceness flashed in Xiang Yu's eyes, Yu Miaoyi's words hurt his self-esteem unprecedentedly, and he asked Yu Miaoyi in a low voice and half roared; "Who's that man?"

"It's me."
