Chapter 110: Forced Marriage
The princess said that she turned around and looked at herself in the mirror, Sideburns are lined with beads, but her eyes are like stars and moons, her skin is like clotted fat, and she has a graceful demeanor.
While speaking, the city lord Sima Yi had already sat down next to the princess, looking at her daughter who was now a slim girl, the years were unforgiving, and in a blink of an eye, she was going to be someone else's little padded jacket.
"If you don't go and take a look, how do you know if Daddy has chosen someone you like?"
"Dad, as long as it is chosen by the father, the daughter listens to you. Princess Sima smiled slightly, and Sima Yi couldn't help but sigh, "Yan'er, Daddy is reluctant to marry you!"
"Then the daughter won't marry, and the father will recruit a son-in-law. Sima Lingyan is also very clever and flexible.
"Well, that's what Daddy wants, too. Sima Yi looked at his baby daughter with satisfaction, and the guards came to report that they had invited the young man outside the door to the tea house.
"Yan'er, Daddy will go back when he goes. ”
"Hmm!" Sima Lingyan nodded obediently, Sima Yi reluctantly stood up and left the courtyard under the escort of a group of guards.
"Princess, the city lord has released a word, saying that he wants to recruit a horse for the princess, princess, do you know how many people from the outer city have come here? ”
The maid relished behind Sima Lingyan, and Sima Lingyan smiled lightly, as if everything was expected.
"Wen Shuang, Wen Jing, let's go to the Star Picking Tower to have a look. ”
Sima Lingyan lifted the three-foot Ayaluo princess skirt, the three-inch golden lotus moved, and the two maids behind him looked at each other, their eyes were surprised, and they said quietly: "Princess, the guests received by the city lord in the lobby, why did the princess go to the Star Picking Tower?"
"Picking up the stars in the building, the building is high, you can hold the stars in your hand, I am not for a few young people, but for my husband. ”
The two maids were confused when they said this, Sima Ling said that they didn't know what she was talking about, so they just smiled, I heard that in the vast sea of people, the person I saw at first sight was the most fateful.
The Star Picking Building is not really how high, but it must be very gorgeous with other buildings, Sima Lingyan and the maid looked at the street outside the mansion at the Star Picking Building, and the pedestrians were different, and suddenly, they saw two clean-faced Xiaosheng staying outside the door, and after a while, the guard guarding the door entered the door to report.
During this period, one of the two men looked around, and when his eyes looked in the direction of Sima Lingyan, Sima Lingyan only felt that in front of him, the heavens and the earth were discolored, not to mention how graceful he looked, and the jade tree was in the wind, but it was very comfortable to look at.
Sima Lingyan just looked at him like this, and the man seemed to notice the people on the high-rise building inside the wall, and when they looked at each other, Sima Lingyan didn't know if he was smiling or if he was such a gentle face, which made her heart sprout, only to see that after the guard came, the two men followed the guard into the house.
"Wen Jing, the man on the left, ask around and see what his name is. ”
Sima Ling made a move, Wen Jing leaned over and listened carefully, and when she heard the princess's words, her eyebrows and eyes bloomed.
"Okay princess, I'll be right back. ”
Sima Lingyan watched Wen Jing walk away with hope, and the man had already entered the lobby.
At noon, the sun was unusually dazzling, Sima Lingyan was enjoying the shade under the eaves, and Wen Jingxing rushed back, "Princess, I heard about it." ”
Sima Lingyan immediately stood up when he heard this, and the flush on his face didn't know if it was because the sun was hot, or because he was thinking about it, it was just red.
"What's your last name and where is your home?"
"Look at the anxious look of the princess, this little face is flushed, and you have a place so soon. ”
Wen Shuang joked on the side, Sima Lingyan did not deny it, his delicate demeanor was fully revealed, and Wen Jing said: "Princess, that person's identity is very right with you." ”
"You're still selling Guanzi this time, say it soon" Sima Lingyan couldn't wait to urge again.
"The richest man in Liuyun City, Master Yang's son-in-law, Young Master Yang Han. How is it, is it a good match for the princess?" Wen Jing asked Wen Shuang after speaking, Wen Shuang's chicken pecked rice, this is a good son-in-law.
Sima Lingyan secretly rejoiced in his heart, his father would definitely not object to his identity.
"Wenshuang, Wenjing, let's go out for a walk. ”
Sima Lingyan had a whim, Wen Shuang and Wen Jing were confused, Wen Jing was puzzled: "Princess, the sun is blazing outside, why do you want to go out at this time?"
"Doesn't the princess want to meet people?" Wen Shuang half guessed, half teased, Sima Lingyan said unabashedly: "I really want to go to the meeting." ”
But he had already returned. Wen Jing undoubtedly poured a basin of cold water on Sima Lingyan, seeing that Sima Lingyan had a trace of loss, Wen Jing said again: "But it should come again tomorrow, I just heard them talk to the city lord about water demons, and immortal bottles or something, princess, what are these?"
Facing Wen Jing's doubts, Sima Lingyan's delicate brows furrowed slightly, his face was solemn, and he muttered, "Immortal Bottle?
"Princess, what's wrong?" Wen Jing shook her hand and called Sima Lingyan's mind back, only to see her smile and say, "The treasure of the town in the city, Daddy will definitely not hand over the Immortal Bottle." ”
The two maids don't seem to understand, but they don't need to know too much about this, they just need to take care of the princess.
Coming out of the city lord's mansion, Yang Han and the priest were dressed as ordinary people, which would not attract attention, so the two of them had nothing to worry about, and they were very leisurely walking on the streets.
Today, the people from the outer city seem to have settled down, and the streets are not so crowded, not to mention the scorching sun, but people don't often go out, and the streets are very clean.
"Senior brother, when you mentioned the Immortal Vial intentionally or unintentionally today, looking at the city lord's reaction, he was very vigilant. Yang Han lamented faintly, and the sacrifice was just as melancholy,
He didn't want to mention more about the water demon, it seemed that he was determined to hide it. ”
"The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, but this hidden danger must be eliminated eventually, and the people in the city are panicked, and he does not dare to relax to trust anyone at this juncture. ”
This is also human nature, so the priest didn't say much, and asked, "Did you notice the man in Tsing Yi today?"
"National teacher?"
"This person is not ordinary. Saixian's tone was very affirmative, although the national teacher had been silent, like a deaf and mute man, after sitting for a morning, neither Yang Han nor Saixian had noticed any changes in his mood.
"Go back and discuss it with Senior Brother. As soon as Yang Han said, the two quickened their pace. I didn't want to have lunch just now, but at that time, the red-clothed guards of the city lord's mansion came to the Tianbin Inn, saying that the city wanted to see Yang Han.
"Young Master Yang, the city lord said that inviting you to the mansion this time is just some private matters. "The red-clothed guard only said that it was a private matter, and he didn't know what was going on.
Yang Han followed the guards to the city lord's mansion, the guards guided Yang Han all the way to the study, saw Sima Yi writing in the study, the guards reported, Sima Yi looked up and saw that Yang Han had come, immediately smiled, put down the pen and ink in his hand.
Yang Han took the lead and said: "I've seen the city lord, but I don't know what private matter the city lord called to enter your mansion today?"
Sima Yi smiled: "Don't worry, Yang Shaoxia, please take a seat!"
Yang Han sat down with Sima Yi, and suddenly praised him: "This city has always heard that Yang Shaoxia, the son of the old man Yang of Liuyun City, is the dragon among people. ”
"The city lord praised falsely, and Yang Han deserved it. Sima Yi suddenly greeted him with a smile, which really made Yang Han feel uneasy.
"Yang Shaoxia is humble, let Yang Shaoxia come over today, it is abrupt in the city, just because there is a good thing in the city and I am happy to fulfill the young man. ”
What good things will be? It is impossible to give away the vial of eternal life.
"Yang Han thanked the city lord first, I don't know what the city lord said?"
Sima Yi smiled and instructed the guards, "Princess, please." ”
When the guards received the order, Yang Han chuckled in his heart, guessed eight or nine times out of ten, and stood up in a panic.
"The good things that the city lord said are not ......"
Yang Han guessed, and Sima Yi interrupted: "Do you know that there is a baby daughter Sima Lingyan in this city?"
"The princess is both talented and beautiful, and her reputation is far and wide, and Yang Han knows it. ”
"Well, Yan'er is the treasure of my palm, but ah, the girl is not staying, I, as a father, just want to find a good husband for her now. ”
Having said that, Yang Han could only think about how to refuse this princess.
Not long after, the guard returned, Wen Jing and Wen Shuang helped Sima Lingyan into the study, and Yang Han was surprised to find that the princess was actually the one who rode a horse yesterday.
I saw that this princess was petite and exquisite, with gentle and elegant manners, and she was a rare delicate beauty.
Sima Lingyan saw Yang Han, the shy girl's heart was surging, her face turned crimson all of a sudden, and the shy girl's appearance was a little more gentle and beautiful. Sima Lingyan went to the city lord's side to respectfully greet her, his voice was like a jade ring, beautiful and pleasant, if it was someone else, it was estimated that he would have been staring at her with straight eyes.
Sima Yi unexpectedly found that Yang Han's gaze did not stay on Sima Lingyan for too long, seeing that he seemed to be still a little lonely and unhappy, he wondered in his heart, is his daughter not good-looking enough?
But on the side, he joked with Sima Lingyan: "Yan'er, why do you only see your father? Don't you say hello to Yang Shaoxia?"
Sima Lingyan smiled shyly at Yang Han, smiling beautifully, "I've seen Yang Shaoxia." ”
"The princess is gracious. Yang Han was respectful, and he was already thinking about how to make Sima Yi retract his mind.
"I've said what this city should say, I don't know what Yang Shaoxia thinks?"
Yang Han's head shook, his thoughts were all confused, and his heart was entangled tightly, this marriage must not be agreed, promised, it is not what he thinks about disappointing Ning Hui, no, this princess is still a girl who does not understand the world, how cruel it should be to be rejected in person.
"City Lord, can you take a step to speak?" Yang Han just wanted to avoid the princess, and the clinker princess smiled: "No need, Yang Shaoxia can say it directly if he has something to say, I can bear it." ”
Yang Han thought about it, after all, he wanted to let him know, since this is the case, then he said, "The good intentions of the city lord, Yang Han has received it, but the marriage is a major event, without the order of his parents, and the words of the matchmaker, how can he say that it will be successful?"
It's more appropriate to move the rites out, at least it makes sense, but Sima Yi is hard-hearted, and said: "It's easy, this city has a discussion with Lingzun Lingtang, and Lingzun Lingtang will not refuse a good daughter-in-law like Yan'er." ”
"This ......" Yang Han still hesitated, he had to hesitate.
"Why not?"
Thanks to the wrong love between the city lord and the princess, Yang Han was flattered, but Yang Han's family had a wife, and he would only wronged the princess. ”
"What?"
When Yang Han told the truth, not only Sima's father and daughter were shocked, but Wen Jing and Wen Shuang were also very surprised.
"Do you have a family?" Sima Yi was obviously displeased, Yang Han should have expected it.
"Yes. ”
"When will you start a family?"
Although Yang Han was surprised by his question, he answered truthfully, "I have been tying the knot with Hui'er for more than nine months. ”
"More than nine months, no children?" Sima Lingyan looked high, which made Yang Han extremely disliked, and responded: "Why does the city lord care if I have children under my knees?"
"Oh, that's gone? Then take a break, a woman, married into her husband's family for more than half a year, and don't have a son and a half daughter, is she still a woman? Why not take a break and marry again?"
Sima Yi said sharply, but it made Yang Han disgusted, Sima Lingyan also realized that his father was serious, and immediately persuaded: "Dad, how can you influence Yang Shaoxia?"
"City Lord, in this case, do you want me to marry the princess?"
"What's wrong with my family's words, how can your wife be compared?" Sima Yi said more and more intensely, and Wen Jing and Wen Shuang on the side were afraid that the city lord would put Yang Han in prison in the next moment.
Ning Hui and Sima Lingyan must not be compared, one is in my heart, the other has just met, how can I compare?
"Hui'er and the princess really can't be compared, but the city lord knows what feelings are? If you think that I will divorce Hui'er and marry the princess because the princess is more beautiful than Hui'er, then one day, when I meet someone who is more beautiful than the princess, I can also see the change of thought, do you hope so?"
"You ......"
Yang Han's confrontation pushed Sima Yi's anger to a peak, and even Sima Yi showed a worried look.
