Chapter 49: A Wisp of Green Silk
Speaking of which, I have indeed reached the age of marriage, and my mother always says that my father and mother were married and gave birth to me when I was my age.
A few days ago, my mother always wanted Su Yan to attend various banquets recently, and introduced him to the school-age lady of the nobles of the family......
How is the county lord? What about the beauty of the fairy? In his heart, he has long been occupied by one person, and he will not tolerate others in this life.
Su Yan took out the strand of green silk from the inner pocket of his chest and held it in a trance, which was cut off from the end of her hair when he was fighting with Mu Yunyi on the battlefield back then, he wrapped it with a red ribbon and never left his body.
I don't know how long it took, the sound of Su Yan pushing open the door interrupted Su Yan's thoughts, and he hurriedly put away the strand of hair.
"Brother, are you looking for me?" Su Wan's delicate voice was a little weak at this time.
Su Yan knew that her sister and mother had entered the palace together the day before, and she had a very speculative chat with Na Chu at dinner today, so she naturally had met yesterday.
"You already knew that, didn't you?" Su Yan looked at Su Yan.
Su Wan lowered her eyes: "What did you know a long time ago?" ”
"You know what I'm talking about, you knew before this family banquet that your mother was going to bring this Chu Woman to see me, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Su Yan rarely used such a serious tone to his sister.
"But...... It's just a supper. Su Wan's voice became smaller and quieter.
"I don't want even if it's just dinner, thank you and your mother for your kindness." Su Yan said word by word.
"This is my mother's command, can I disobey her? What's more, the lord of Chu Wu County is knowledgeable, polite, quiet and generous, and there is nothing wrong with getting to know you. "My brother, who has never said anything heavy to himself, actually yelled at himself, and he couldn't help but feel very aggrieved.
"I won't accept the woman my mother introduced to me, because ......" Su Yan paused and continued: "That's it, anyway, I will decide my marriage myself." ”
"Because of what? Why don't you go on? Just because of that Princess Ann? Su Yan said Su Yan's thoughts unrelentingly.
"Don't talk nonsense." was told the secret hidden in his heart, Su Yan was shocked.
"Can you hide it from others, can you hide it from your sister and me? If I'm talking nonsense, what is this?! Su Wan stepped forward and questioned the tuft of black hair that Su Yan had hastily hidden in her sleeve.
"Give it back to me." Su Yan tried his best to control his emotions and keep his last calm.
"What is there about that Western Dome Demon Maiden that you like? As soon as she was born, she killed her biological mother, and then her father disappeared, and you should know better than anyone that she was brutal and ferocious on the battlefield, and she would do whatever it took to achieve her goals, and now she has become a proton, how many good girls in the world are you to choose from, do you want such an unbearable person? ”
Before she finished speaking, Su Yan stepped forward and grabbed her wrist and yelled, "Did you say enough?" ”
The room suddenly fell silent, and after a while, Su Yan also calmed down again, looking at his sister's moist and red eyes, he quickly let go of his hand, "I'm sorry, girl, I..."
My brother has held himself in the palm of his hand since he was a child, and he has never even said anything serious to himself, but today because of the daughter of an enemy country, his wrists were red, and she turned around and walked out.
"Girl, girl......" Su Yan grabbed her.
Su Wan stubbornly shook off her brother's hand and looked at him faintly: "Don't forget, she is from Xiqiong after all, and you are the eldest son of the Duke of Dongzhao Town." ”
Su Yan looked down at the strand of black hair and sighed, "How can I not know......"
"I heard that Mrs. Su brought the Chu county lord back to the house for you this time, you kid is very blessed!" The next day, after going down the court, Dongling Yi saw Su Yan teasing.
Su Yan shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly: "Ah Yi, don't make fun of me..."
Dongling Yi continued to joke with interest: "What kind of anger are you sighing, that Chu Wu is the dignified prince of Chu Domain, and when I saw it that day, she was indeed born with picturesque eyebrows, bright and moving, this beauty is a general, isn't it right?" ”
"If you like it, go and ask your father to marry her, and you can do me a favor."
"No, no, you and Shaoyang have never been married, and I, as a younger brother, are not in a hurry, not to mention that my marriage is decided by my father and mother." Seeing him like this, Dongling Yi asked: "Why are you so resistant, isn't it that you have another sweetheart?" Whose lady is it, tell me about it? ”
"If there is no thing, you don't have to guess, it's just that I am determined to start a career, and I really have no intention of having children."
Su Yan said goodbye to the prince, walked out of the Xuanming Palace, and saw Sikong Shaoyang standing outside the hall, as if he was waiting for Su Yan intentionally.
"You've heard that, too." Su Yan tried his best to hide his emotions.
"yes, word of this was spread early this morning."
"Actually, you guessed it that day, didn't you? The emperor's choice of marriage for this county lord is not Ah Yi, but me. ”
"I was just guessing back then, and I don't want you to accept her if it turns out to be true?"
"What do you say?"
"That's it, it's me who asks more, why don't I know you, three thousand weak water, only take one scoop." Sikong Shaoyang suddenly said solemnly behind him: "If this matter is just Mrs. Su's meaning, then there is still room for turnaround, but this should be the emperor's intention, I am afraid of ......"
"Why me?"
"If you think about it, you should know that if the emperor wants to stabilize the Chu Ministry, it is naturally a marriage, but if the woman of the Chu Department becomes the wife of the prince, then she is the future queen, the queen has always needed to have a family background but cannot have real power, the Chu Ministry has its own army in hand, not to mention that they are alien in the end, and it is impossible for the future emperor and grandson to have foreign blood."
"So, the emperor chose me."
"Yes, your father Zhenguo Gong and the emperor are brothers and sisters, and the status of your Su family in Dongzhao is not an exaggeration to say that it is a relative of the emperor, and looking at the court, the emperor trusts your Su family the most, if you want to marry and control the Chu department, you naturally have to find the most trusted person."
"I know all this, but this is my own marriage after all......"
"But you were born in the Zhenguo Mansion, and there are a few marriages of nobles that are not involuntary, not to mention that you are the son of Su Jin?" Sikong Shaoyang put away the joking tone before, and said: "You are different from me, Su Yan, I am alone, and you, carrying the hopes and responsibilities of your entire family, do not need to think about it, and know that your mother will definitely choose a woman for you to marry who will help you and the future of the entire family." Right now, Chu Wu is the most suitable person in her eyes. ”
Sikong Shaoyang looked at the silent Su Yan, and decided to continue to say the more cruel words: "Take 10,000 steps back, even if there is no Chu Yan, your future wife will not be Mu Yunyi." ”
