Chapter VII The Marriage Contract

In the room, Mo and Usami sat opposite each other, and the hot tea on the table was evaporating wisps of heat, but the two of them didn't have the slightest intention of tasting it.

Mo raised his head and looked at the man in front of him, his biological father in this life. In fact, if you really have to count it by age, Usamiaki is not very old. But at this time, there are already traces of gray hair on his forehead, and with his specially grown short beard, it looks like he has a unique middle-aged man's majestic temperament.

In fact, Mo's parents treated him well in this life.

Although because of Mo's own consciousness, there is always a layer of estrangement and a faint sense of distance between them. But neither of his parents seemed to pay much attention to it. Since he was a child, although his parents have not spoiled him much, they have never been short of the care that parents should have.

But maybe this son is too sensible, and from childhood to adulthood, there is basically nothing for them to worry about, which makes them a little shy in the face of this indifferent son. Coupled with Mo's own intentional or unintentional distancing, the exchanges between the two sides have decreased more and more as the years have grown.

But even so, Mo also cherishes his parents in this world. At least in the face of their own son, who can be called an 'outlier', they have always been unreservedly trusting and caring. It is precisely because of this that he has always adhered to the identity of Mo to this day.

Mo picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip, and said slowly: "Father, you suddenly called me, but you refused to speak out, what happened to make you so embarrassed?" ”

Today, Usamiaki suddenly sent someone to call him here to ask about his current situation, and after a few small talks, the two fell into complete silence. And Mo also saw that Usami had something to say, but it seemed a little difficult to speak. So I just took the initiative to speak.

Usami, who was sitting opposite Mo, frowned, and seemed to be a little entangled, but finally exhaled lightly and said slowly: "Mo, do you remember what I once told you, about your marriage contract." ”

As soon as these words came out, Mo's brows couldn't help but raise slightly, and then he returned to his composure, nodded and replied: "I naturally remember this matter." It was a verbal covenant that my grandfather made with other parents when I was not yet born, right? But why did you suddenly mention it at this time? ”

Ahem...... Usami coughed twice before he spoke, "Exactly...... Actually, the other party recently suddenly came to visit in person and mentioned this matter, so ......"

Sure enough...... Mo couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.

And, A-Li, you crow's mouth!!

"Obviously, since my grandfather passed away, there has been no contact between the two sides for more than ten years, why is it suddenly ...... now?"

Halfway through his words, Mo stopped. Why? Well, I'm actually a bit stupid to ask this question......

After a pause, Mo said lightly again: "I already know this matter, so my father, what do you ......mean?"

"Uh...... This ......", Usa saw Ming pause, then thought for a while, and said, "If you don't want to, I can also go and reject them." Although it was indeed an agreement made by your grandfather back then, it was just a small talk during the banquet, and there was neither a marriage letter nor a dowry, this ......"

Mo shook his head, "Father, I'm asking about your wishes. And I, there is no so-called. ”

"This ......", Usami was speechless for a while. looked Mo up and down, the face that was somewhat similar to his own, there were no ups and downs from beginning to end, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart. This son of mine is good at everything, but he has always had a faint sense of separation from everyone around him, even himself.

It's like being separated by a layer of water, even though they can reflect each other's appearance, it is difficult to really embrace each other.

In the end, he shook his head, swept away these thoughts, and slowly spoke: "Mo, to be honest, I have known that you are different from other children since I was a child. You're so sensible that even I can't ask for more from you. That's why I've never been willing to interfere too much with your will. ”

"But no matter what, now that you've passed the rite of passage, it's time to start a family. So I ...... Well, and what your mother meant, she hopes that you can think about your life's events......"

Mo nodded, "I see, then everything will be done according to your wishes." ”

Usa opened his mouth when he saw it, but looked at Mo with a calm face, and finally swallowed his words back. Maybe even he doesn't know what to say......

"Then, father, it's almost time for me to go and say hello to my mother." Mo bowed slightly, then stood up and turned to leave.

Looking at the teacup on the table, which was still slightly hot, Usami was silent for a long time, and finally turned into a soft sigh.

In the quiet room, everything is silent......

……

On the carriage, with the slight shaking of the body, the figure of the person inside also shook slightly. At this moment, Mo is holding his chin with one hand, looking at the scenery outside the car window, slightly distracted.

"To be honest, I'm a little surprised......", suddenly, a voice sounded, breaking the silence of the moment.

"Huh?" , Mo turned his head and looked at Huiyin who spoke out.

"I can't imagine that you really just agreed to this family business, this is really a bit different from your style......"

Mo blinked, then chuckled, "Doesn't that seem strange to you?" ”

Huiyin thought about it sideways, "Isn't it, it's just a person you've never met, I think it should be difficult for you to have any obsession with her." Why should such a political marriage be made? ”

"Hehe......", Mo shook his head, "I think you've misunderstood." Although I believe in doing what I want, it doesn't mean that I will leave all the constraints of the world behind. ”

Indeed, as you say, this is just a political marriage with no emotional basis, only a bargain of interests. And in terms of my current status, status, and strength, I can completely refuse it willfully, but ......"

"After all, it didn't touch my bottom line, did it. As far as I'm concerned, I really can't completely ignore the years of the Usami family, and I can't go against my parents' wishes just because of this kind of thing......"

As Mo had said before, he had always been just a layman. will be bound by worldly feelings, and will be concerned about the relationships of those around you. Even though he has an identity that can override the world, most of the time he will still abide by the rules and etiquette of the world.

After all, if there were no parents in this body, there would be no birth of him. So at all times, he still considers himself ink, not some 'other person'.

And in the same way, without the protection and support of the Usami family, he may not be able to grow up safely in this absurd and dangerous world. Therefore, no matter what calculations or attempts those clan elders had against him at the beginning, he did not really shout and kill those clan elders, even though he could already override everything with his strength......

And now, he can naturally ignore the interests of the family, but where does this put the parents who raised him carefully. As he said, if he doesn't touch his bottom line after all, then he should go.

And I'm afraid that in the eyes of his parents, the son who has been indifferent is like almost abandoning human feelings, and it will be a good thing to have a home and bonds.

Speaking of this, Merge paused, and then chuckled: "And, as far as we are concerned, a mere hundred years of life is just a fleeting moment. Let me use a hundred years of my life to do my duty as Usamimo, and forget about this cause and effect and feelings, isn't it......"

"As for the betrothed man whom he has never met......"

Mo smiled and shook his head, "If she is willing to be the wife of 'Usami Mo', I will try my best to be a good husband, and accompany her for a hundred years." If she really doesn't want to accept such an arranged marriage, then, let's talk about it......"

After hearing Mo's words, Huiyin and Ah Li both fell silent. Mo shook his head, sighed lightly, and said, "What, do you think I'm ruthless in doing this?" ”

"No......," Ah Li looked up at Mo, and then showed a wry smile, "I, I think I understand a little bit about what you said to me now. A hundred years of life pass in a hurry, and for the immortals, perhaps this is the best choice. ”

Mo leaned his head lightly against the side of the window, "Maybe ......," and then chuckled again, "But you, you don't need to think too much." At least even after a hundred years, you and I, as well as Huiyin, are still there, aren't they? ”

Hearing this, Ah Li was stunned, then lowered his head, and said with a twisted face, "That, Your Highness Mo, although I am very happy about your intentions, but, that, you are also a person who has a fiancΓ©e now, this is not good, you can't be sorry for your future wife......"

Seeing Ah Li like this, Mo was speechless for a while, and then raised his hand and 'angrily reprimanded': "Begging for you, you actually dare to make a joke about me!" ”

"Ah, Teacher Huiyin, save me!"

"Still looking for helpers?! Just with the two of you shrimp soldiers and crab generals, it's not enough for me to fight with one hand! ”

……

After some laughter, the dull atmosphere that had been accumulated before seemed to dissipate a lot, and suddenly, Huiyin seemed to remember something, raised her head and looked at Mo, "Having said so much, you haven't made it clear who is the family and who made the marriage contract with you this time." ”

"Uh......", Mo was stunned, "Ahaha...... It was my mistake. Well, in fact, this time my parents and even the clan basically agree with this family business, and it is not without reason. The other party is actually the same as our Usami family, and it is also a family of cultivation inheritance, and the family of Xixing Temple. ”
