Chu Lingxi buried himself in Chu Junlan's arms again aggrievedly, and said with a sob: "I don't dare to say anything about this, I know that my father and mother will not allow it, don't say that my father and mother will not allow it, even the second uncle and grandfather will not allow it." I can only talk to Brother Zhan in private. ”

Chu Junlan was a little puzzled why she was willing to talk to her cousin about the little girl's emotional problems. Is it really just because there is only one girl in the family, Chu Lingxi?

Chu Junlan looked at Chu Zhan suspiciously.

Chu Zhan sighed: "Don't you ask who this little girl's sweetheart is?" ”

Chu Junlan looked at Chu Zhan, and suddenly felt a little abrupt and a little incredible: "Could it be ...... Wan Song? Looking down at Chu Lingxi, "Sister Xi, don't you like Lu Wansong, the prince of Dingguo?" ”

Chu Lingxi's pale face finally turned bloody, and he nodded sullenly.

Chu Junlan raised his forehead.

Chu Zhan said: "Now you know why I said that my business can't be done, and I can't do anything about her, right?" Ruohan and I are still secretly happy with each other, but the relationship between my parents and family has not been able to get a letter for a long time, and I can't even see each other every day. But Xiao Lingxi, this girl, is still a one-sided prince of Dingguo, what do you say about this? ”

Chu Lingxi's face blushed, and tears fell again: "It's true that I like him, but if he is careless about me, I won't bother with a shy face, and I'm not that kind of person." Besides, marriage is a major event, it has always been the words of the matchmaker at the behest of his parents, even if he doesn't like me, as long as there is a matchmaker's words, is he still worried about not being able to get married? How many couples in this world like each other before they get married? ”

"You girl, don't you see it quite clearly?" Chu Junlan sighed, "Since you know that you can't have the final say on marriage matters, you can only rely on your parents' orders, so why are you suffering yourself?" ”

"Even if I can only be my parents, I can fight, my father and grandfather love me so much, as long as I speak, they will definitely follow me. But I didn't say it directly, I only tested the attitude of my grandfather and my father and mother, and they had already refused. ”

Chu Lingxi covered his mouth and cried again aggrievedly: "I can't ask more, I can't figure it out, the Dingguo Mansion is right with our family, the son of the Dingguo Duke is young and talented, what a good family, what a good family, why are my father and grandfather not optimistic about his family?" ”

Chu Junlan touched Chu Lingxi's head and looked at Chu Zhan: "Brother Zhan, I believe you have already figured this out?" ”

Chu Zhan smiled bitterly: "I naturally understand." ”

Chu Junlan wiped Chu Lingxi's tears with a handkerchief, and coaxed: "Don't cry, my sister will tell you what's going on, help you find a way, don't let the third aunt see that you are like this, otherwise you will be scolded." ”

Chu Lingxi nodded, obediently wiped away his tears, and looked at Chu Junlan expectantly.

Chu Junlan said: "Since you already know that marriage is the order of your parents, then you should also know that liking each other is a matter of two people, but marriage is a matter of two families?" ”

Chu Lingxi looked at Chu Junlan with wide eyes.

"Whether the third aunt and the third uncle will nod or not, not only depends on whether the prince of Dingguo is the dragon and phoenix among the people, but more importantly, it depends on the relationship between the two families."

"But our two families are noble families."

Chu Junlan shook his head: "Silly girl, although they are all noble families, our family is different from the Dingguo Mansion, the Dingguo Duke now has a heavy army, and the son of the Dingguo Duke seems to have accumulated a certain prestige in the army, and the son will not be much worse in inheriting his father's business in the future." In our family, my grandfather lived in the grange, and only my father was still active in the court, still as a civil official. ”

When Chu Junlan said this, it made Chu Lingxi come back to his senses: "When you say this, it's really like this." ”

Chu Junlan glanced at Chu Zhan with a smile, and then pinched Chu Lingxi's face.

"You, if you want me to tell you what's good, don't you think about this when you interact with those daughters outside on weekdays?"

Chu Lingxi was stunned, where did she think about this? She came from a noble background, and she was the most favored granddaughter of Mao Guogong, and wherever she went, only someone would hold her and talk, and she was used to it.

Chu Zhan smiled bitterly: "Don't say it's Sister Xi, even I have never thought deeply about why my grandfather and father and mother did not allow me to have a relationship with Ruohan." It was only later that I slowly came to my senses. Now that I know what my father and mother are considering, I don't hate anyone or be angry with anyone, I just feel helpless, I think Ruohan is deeper than I think, she has long known these concerns. ”

Chu Junlan asked, "Have you seen Ruohan these days?" ”

Chu Zhan shook his head, and his smile became more and more bitter: "It is said that she was detained by her mother in the mansion to learn the rules of embroidery, and there were several flower appreciation banquets, but her mother didn't take her out." ”

Chu Junlan also sighed when she heard this, after she married Xiao Xu, she didn't have any chance to participate in these banquets, thinking of the past, and then thinking about the present, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in her heart.

Chu Lingxi looked at his cousin and cousin, and asked hesitantly: "So, if I tell this matter, I will be the same as Brother Zhan, and maybe I will be reprimanded by my mother, just because his father is in charge of the army, and our family has not been in contact with military affairs much?" ”

Chu Junlan saw that Chu Lingxi still didn't understand, so he had to lower his voice and say bluntly: "Silly sister, now that the world is peaceful, the emperor has long had the intention of weakening the power of the army, don't you remember the soldiers and horses in Huaijing Tuntian last year?" ”

Chu Lingxi's eyes widened and he froze, and after a long time, he seemed to have finally figured it out, and said with a pale face: "So, his family wants to keep the military power, and our family is in accordance with the emperor's wishes, because the two families have different choices, so they are not together?" ”

"I finally understand, you stupid girl," Chu Zhan bent down and pushed Chu Lingxi's forehead, "You just live too comfortably on weekdays, so you don't understand anything, and you still need your sister Lan to tell you through when something happens." ”

Chu Lingxi pursed his lips, looked at Chu Zhan for a long time, and suddenly sobbed: "What should I do, Brother Zhan, are we hopeless." It's not a gang, and my father won't allow it! ”

Chu Zhan looked at Chu Lingxi, who was crying and sobbing, and rubbed his forehead helplessly.

"You cry, I want to cry! Okay, put away your tears, what's the use of shedding them? ”

"But, but I...... This is too unwilling! Why should we be influenced by this bullshit! Chu Lingxi cried and beat the futon angrily.

Chu Junlan said with a straight face: "Lingxi, because you are the daughter of the Chu family, you have enjoyed the glory of the Chu family, and you have also enjoyed the protection of the Chu family, so you have to bear everything of the Chu family." Not everything in this world can make you happy, is it possible to cry when you encounter setbacks? If you want it, you will work hard to fight for it, and if you can't get it, you must learn to choose, learn to let go, you must have a bottom line in your heart, do you not care if you sacrifice your family, your grandfather and grandmother, and your father and mother for what you want? ”
