Volume II, Chapter 39: The Marriage Contract
Suddenly, there was silence again, and Lin Weicheng spoke: "As far as I know, the Xiao family has not had a yin and yang pupil for more than a hundred years, and now another one has appeared, congratulations to Mr. Xiao." ”
"Indeed, I am indeed very happy. Xiao Changfeng's face was expressionless, and his voice was extremely calm. His eyes were dark gray, like those of a wolf. Nothing could be seen from his expression.
"Young Master Xiao, you have suffered all these years. Zhuge Yong smiled and raised his eyes to look at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen didn't move, he didn't speak, he had always felt that he had no relatives in this world before, this father, he had never seen since he could remember. He didn't know how to face this man who suddenly appeared in his life, and his world suddenly had a father, but he was not as happy as he imagined, and even had inexplicable feelings in his heart.
"The family will compensate you. Xiao Changfeng turned his head and said to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen was silent, his mind was blank, he wanted to ask this man in an expensive suit, since he was alive and well, why didn't he come to find their mother and son, why did he let his mother be killed by ghosts. But his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't open his mouth.
Zhuge Yong spoke again: "Young Master Xiao, how about you go to accompany Xiaoge first?"
"Qingzhou. Without waiting for Xiao Chen to speak, Lin Weicheng spoke, he called his wife, Du Qingzhou pushed the door open, "Take Xiao Gongzi around the Lin family." Lin Acropolis Road.
Xiao Chen followed Du Qingzhou out of the study. The sun outside the window was just right, and the bright sunlight sprinkled gold on the ground, and the shadows of the trees became shorter, and the sky and the earth seemed to turn golden. When he saw such a good sunshine, he was in a trance for a moment.
Du Qingzhou stood in golden yellow with a smile, the tips of her hair were also yellow, and her long skirt cast shadows on the ground, beautiful like a god.
"Xiao Gongzi, isn't it a surprise. Du Qingzhou asked. She smiled and looked at Xiao Chen, collecting her emotions little by little, and reining in the pain and shock in her eyes little by little.
"Definitely. Xiao Chen said lightly, "But I am not as happy as I imagined." ”
"How can you be unhappy when you suddenly find out that there are relatives in this world?" Du Qingzhou asked.
He didn't seem happy either. Xiao Chen said lightly.
Xiao Changfeng was really unhappy. Du Qingzhou smiled, "In the family, the rules are strict, only the eldest son can inherit the position of the head of the family, Xiao Gongzi, you are the oldest among Xiao Changfeng's sons, and you also have two half-brothers and a younger sister." ”
"I don't want to be the head of the Xiao family. Xiao Chen lowered his eyes slightly, and there was a haze in his eyes.
"The question is not whether you want to be a person or not, but what others think you want or not. Du Qingzhou smiled, "Xiao Changfeng's current heir is Xiao Yu, Xiao Changfeng has devoted the most effort to him, his mother is the daughter of the Huo family, although the Huo family is not very powerful, and the status in the family is below the Xiao family, but the Huo family is an active member in the political arena of the Qing country, whether it is the Qing Party or the Mo Party, there are people from the Huo family who are active. Xiao Yu must be the master of the writer in the future, and now that you appear, the Huo family will not agree to it in the first place. Maybe you can't return to the Xiao family and write it into the family tree. ”
"I don't care. Xiao Chen didn't speak.
"It's not a question of what you don't care about. Du Qingzhou said patiently, "The current family is like a balance, each family has its own position on the scale, if any family has a change, it will affect the entire family, and the power of each family may change greatly." Do you know who is behind the Huo family? It is the Ouyang family, the Huo family was subordinate to the Ouyang family at first, and then a series of changes occurred, and the Huo family turned to the Xiao family. But Huo Muyun, the head of the Huo family, is a villain with a big face, and he still maintains a close relationship with the Ouyang family. ”
"What do you want to say?" Xiao Chen raised his eyes and looked directly at Du Qingzhou.
"Xiao Gongzi, to put it mildly, that is, the family will not accept you, it is better to live in our Lin family for a while, teach in the Lin family, if Xiao Gongzi doesn't mind, you can marry a girl from the Lin family. Du Qingzhou smiled.
Xiao Chen didn't speak.
"There are not many girls in the Lin family, and only Xiaoge is the same age as Gongzi, Xiaoge said that she has been secretly in love with Gongzi for many years. Du Qingzhou didn't speak again, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen's gaze changed in an instant, and after he concealed the tenderness in his eyes, he raised his eyes, he glanced at Du Qingzhou, and did not speak.
Du Qingzhou also smiled, and Yingying turned to leave.
Inside, smoke has already swirled, Lin Weicheng's study is extremely dark, and the smoke in the hands of the two people makes the entire study real and illusory. Zhuge Yong turned on the yellow background gold-trimmed lamp on the table, and the light was dim.
Lin Weicheng took a puff of cigarette and spoke: "Long time no see, Uncle Xiao." ”
"Say it. Xiao Changfeng stretched out his hand to extinguish the cigarette and said lightly.
"How long has Uncle Xiao been under Ouyang Yin Zheng. Lin Weicheng spoke.
"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Changfeng asked.
"It's not interesting. Lin Weicheng said with a smile, "It's very simple, Ouyang Yin is the head of the family, he is trying his best to weaken the strength of the Lin Xiao family, and strengthen his own strength, if we continue like this, the two families will be annexed by the Ouyang family." He put away his smile and said.
"Something to say. Xiao Changfeng said.
"Uncle Xiao can join forces with our Lin clan to fight against the Ouyang clan together, and now that the real Xiao family is back, whether he can get rid of the control of the Ouyang clan depends on this move. Lin Weicheng's voice was cold.
"What are you going to do?" Xiao Changfeng asked.
"Marriage. Lin Weicheng said lightly, "Little sister Xiaoge and Xiao Gongzi are of the same age and can marry." ”
Xiao Yu is also the same age as Xiaoge. Xiao Changfeng's voice was cold.
"The Xiao family hasn't had yin and yang pupils for many years, and I still want more yin and yang pupils. Lin Weicheng said with a smile.
Xiao Changfeng didn't speak, he was silent for a moment, and slowly spoke: "Okay." ”
The corners of Zhuge Yong's mouth were imperceptibly raised. Lin Weicheng remained silent
"It's just that I will change the order of succession, and Xiao Chen will be the first heir. Xiao Changfeng said lightly.
Zhuge Yong's eyes changed suddenly, but Lin Weicheng smiled and said, "That's my uncle's own business." ”
The door opened, Xiao Changfeng left, and Du Qingzhou walked in.
"How's it going?" Lin Weicheng asked.
"He seemed willing. Du Qingzhou raised his eyes to look at Lin Weicheng, with a worried look in his eyes.
"Xiao Changfeng wants to change the order of inheritance. Lin Weicheng looked at it calmly.
"In this case, our plan ......" Du Qingzhou frowned slightly.
"It's business as usual. Lin Weicheng said lightly.
