"Was it easy for my parents to raise me? My dad, my mom, and my brother...... Am I going to leave with you without saying a word, and turn a blind eye to them? Slim said a little angrily.

"But have you ever thought about my situation? Your parents want me to take out a bride price of 1.5 million, can I take it? Gu Qin shouted loudly.

Xian Xian was stunned by Gu Qin's roar.

Gu Qin seemed to be venting the depression in his heart for a long time, and it erupted like a volcanic eruption.

After a while, he suddenly said, "Xian Xian, I'm sorry, I was too excited, he shouldn't have done this to you." ”

"What one and a half million?" Slim was shocked.

"Sure enough, you don't know anything." Gu Qin laughed self-deprecatingly, shrugged her shoulders and stood in front of Xian Xian, took out an A4 paper, and handed it to her: "This is the condition that your parents put forward to me, I want to marry you, and nothing is missing from this!" ”

Gu Qin put the paper with dense words and numbers on the table, until now, he couldn't even afford a down payment on a house. But in the face of his beloved, the numbers on that piece of paper were like mountains pressing on his shoulders, and he couldn't breathe.

He didn't want to give up Xian Xian, and he didn't want to give up this relationship, but reality hit him to pieces. He really couldn't afford it, even if he was trying his best to get in that good direction. However, those numbers are still out of reach.

That's why he chose to escape and chose to let Xian Xian follow him to elope to other cities.

He admits that he is selfish and irresponsible...... But it was the only way he could think of it.

Xian Xian looked at the dense bride price statistics, and the final figure was close to 1.5 million, and she stayed in place in an instant.

"I remember the last time I went to my house, my parents didn't mention it." Xian Xian said in shock.

"They know you're going to protect me, so they won't mention it. Three months ago, your parents approached me and talked to me about this alone. You don't know, and neither do my parents. Because I can't tell you about it, and I can't tell my parents. Gu Qin said.

"It must be a mistake, my parents can't be so ruthless, I'll go to them." Xian Xian looked at Gu Qin very distressedly, but she couldn't understand the list of this sky-high bride price.

He knows Gu Qin's situation too well, both of them have just graduated for two years, and they are still crawling at the bottom of the city, which is good. How can you get this large sum of money, isn't this the same as asking for his life?

"It's useless." Gu Qin pulled Xian Xian.

"It's useless, it's unreasonable. Are they trying to ruin our marriage? Xian Xian said angrily.

"Slim, do you know what your parents told me...... Actually, I don't want to tell you this, it will make you think that it will be useless for me to be unresponsible...... But when it comes to this, marriage is a matter of two families, and if I don't talk about it, I will never be able to untie this knot. Gu Qin pulled Xian Xian to sit down.

Gu Qin has decided to tell the whole story, in the previous discussion with Xian Xian's parents, they have made their attitude clear, this matter is not negotiable, even if Xian Xian says it, it is useless.

"Xian Xian, you know my family background, I also know your family background, our family is rural, and I also know that your bride price is very high, I was mentally prepared at the beginning, but I didn't expect it to be so outrageous...... My family is not rich, and it is impossible to come up with such a large sum of money. Your parents told me that you have a younger brother who has just graduated from high school, and even if they don't consider your bride price, they have to consider your brother's marriage in the future. Gu Qin said with an extremely ugly face.

Xian Xian was stunned, she didn't know that her parents had even taken her brother's marriage into consideration.

"I'm marrying you, not your family!"

Gu Qin couldn't bear the depression in her heart, took her slender hand and said, "Do you know what mood I am in now, do you know how I came over these days, when I think of the sky-high bride price, I ...... I ......"

"Okay, don't talk about it, I'll talk to my parents about it. I can't let you take on this alone. Xian Xian said resolutely.

Gu Qin nodded, he was really tired and tired these days, he really wanted to be with Xian Xian...... But when she thought of her parents' resolute and iron-clad attitude, her heart was like ashes.

"You can rest first, and I'll go home later." Xian Xian said.

Gu Qin nodded, her nerves had finally relaxed a little bit in the past few months, she lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and fell asleep deeply.

Xian Xian glanced at Gu Qin, who was snoring slightly in the room, and her face was full of distress. She really didn't know that Gu Qin was silently bearing so much pressure alone.

Packing some luggage and getting the car keys, she was going home.

This matter must be made clear to the family, and this bride price must not be allowed to ruin her marriage.

……

Stick beating mandarin duck in the office.

The concubine floated in from the window, and saw Zhu Mingtong rubbing her temples on the chair, her face a little ugly.

"Nishito, I bought you Yonghe soy milk and fried dough sticks."

The concubine still nibbled on a bean paste bun in her mouth and put a bag of breakfast on the table.

"Hey, Nishito, don't you eat it?" The concubine asked.

Zhu Mingtong has no appetite at all, he is a fairy body, what does it matter if he eats it or not.

His headache was the matter of Le Xian's mortal body, and after they learned that the two were actually lovers yesterday, they didn't continue to track this matter, and they didn't know what the matter would turn out in the end. What he has a headache now is that he doesn't know how to explain to Le Xian Changqin.

Tomorrow is the Ascension Conference, and the cowhide has been blown out, and he has nothing to do about it now.

Changqin is also one of the examiners of the Ascension Conference, and the matter of handing in the blank paper will naturally leave a bad impression on him, and his ascension is also a little hanging.

"Concubine, as a teacher, I really envy you for being so cute when you eat." Zhu Mingtong rubbed his temples and said.

"People aren't cute all the time, right...... No, Nishito, you're not praising others, you must hurt others, right? The concubine suddenly realized that every time Zhu Mingtong praised her in the first half of the sentence, there was always one sentence in the back that had not been finished. And Zhu Mingtong looks like this, obviously there is still the second half of the sentence that has not been finished.

"Uh...... As a teacher, you can't praise your subordinates, am I so careful? Zhu Mingtong looked embarrassed.

In fact, he really didn't finish half of the sentence: How can you be so heartless?

"." The concubine didn't care about Zhu Mingtong, obviously she saw through it, and she had to keep her mouth shut.

"Xihu, you must still be thinking about Gu Qin and Xian Xian, people can still see it, the two of them cherish their feelings very much." The concubine took a small bite of bean paste and said.

"The attachment to love, on the contrary, the more painful, because separation is inevitable." Zhu Mingtong said suddenly.

The concubine and the little fairy looked at Zhu Mingtong with a puzzled expression, not understanding why the master suddenly mentioned this.

The two of them, does it have anything to do with this?

"Concubine, do you know what this sentence means?" Zhu Mingtong asked.

"I don't understand very much, but I seem to understand a little bit. It's just that I don't really understand why people who love each other end up separating. Isn't it true that the more you love each other, the more you can break through difficulties and obstacles and achieve positive results? The concubine and the little fairy said very seriously.

"Life, there will always be a lot of unexpected, never time to think, there is no room for thinking, those scattered in the scenery of life, always come in a hurry, and go in a hurry, in this short period of coming and going, we have not had time to experience it carefully, but we have to learn more parting, bear more rubbing shoulders, face more impermanence, accept that we are waiting for too much loss but can not always have, no matter how smart people can not arrange properly, or, can only use open-mindedness to modify themselves, comfort their own loss and loneliness, It is enough to tell yourself that it has all been there, that it has been obtained, that it has been had. You can have love, but don't cling to it, because separation is inevitable. Zhu Mingtong said.

"Wow, Nishito, you're so philosophical?" The concubine looked amazed, but shook her head: "However, people still don't understand much." ”

"Actually, I didn't say these words, I saw them on the Internet, and I think there is some truth. In fact, the same is true of feelings, just like the winter when you can't see the snow, why not treat it as spring, and why bother with it. Zhu Mingtong said seriously.

"Nishito, do you want to say that Lexian's mortal body can not be so attached, maybe letting go is the best result for both?" The concubine said.

"This is not something we can control, in fact, after understanding the woman's family background, you will understand that her persistence, her family's attachment, is not something that the man can control. There is nothing wrong with the two of them themselves, the problem lies in the woman's family, which is a fact that cannot be changed, and it is not within the man's power. Therefore, I hope that the man can wake up soon, and he doesn't have to cling to the snowy winter, maybe what awaits him is spring. Zhu Mingtong said very seriously.

"People still don't understand."

"The reason why this matter is complicated is not complicated, the fundamental reason is in the woman's family, I have seen the growth process of Xian Xian with my lying pupils, too much accompanied by jealousy, care, and envy, and the reason is his younger brother."

"Could it be that her family is patriarchal?" The concubine was surprised.

What kind of society is there now, and there is still a patriarchal phenomenon, she doesn't understand.

"Although equality between men and women is now well known in the metropolis, some rural and local customs still continue to perpetuate the idea of patriarchy. Therefore, the Xian Xian family proposed such a high bride price, first for their son, and then for the marriage of Gu Qin and Xian Xian. Zhu Mingtong said.

"Why impose my son's future on my brother-in-law, this is simply unreasonable, is it possible that Xian Xian thinks the same way." The concubine said.
