Chapter 48: The Abandonment of the Marriage Contract (1)

The autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves, the leaves quietly rotate with the wind, day after day, the coolness is suddenly thick, and the autumn with a deep attachment, with the wind and rain, quietly leaves. In the warm winter sun, the broken snowflakes fall slowly, shining brightly, and the former bustle is covered by this quiet pure white.

In the vast grassland, boundless, and the blue sky, in this piece of silence, a woman leads a white horse proudly independent of the grassland and snow, listening to the sound of snow falling, listening to the sound of the wilderness.

Xiao Xuan tightened the ermine fur on his body and looked in the direction of the south tower from the grassland.

At this moment, I saw the South Tower, as if it was right in front of me, but I couldn't find a way out of the grassland that day.

When I was a child, I got lost here when I came out with my sister, and then I met Yeluxian, and I couldn't find a way here, and in the days that followed, Xiao Xuan came to this grassland countless times, walked over and over again, and firmly engraved the route here into his mind, and firmly engraved those memories into his mind.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuan smiled indifferently, and frowned helplessly.

When will I be able to rebuild my old friendship with my sister? If everything is as ignorant as when I was young, with the protection of my sister, the love of my father and mother, and the company of childhood sweethearts like Han Derang, what if I don't grow up for the rest of my life?

If this is the case, then you will not be able to meet Jerod, who is like an elder brother, and then you will not be able to know what the peony is. How can you give all your heart to Jerexian?

Life is always full of contradictions and helplessness, if you want to gain, you must lose, if all the benefits in the world are taken by yourself, that is really unfair.

Xiao Xuan pursed her lips and sighed sadly, when did she become such a thoughtful woman?

She had to grow, she had to think, she had to think.

The snow was tight, the cold wind was about to blow, Xiao Xuan pulled the horse a little, jumped on the horse, whipped away, the horse's hooves rose and fell, and the snow left traces of her visit.

Hanfu.

"Father, why do you want to imprison me for more than a few months?" Han Derang was stopped at the door by the guards in the house, so he angrily went to find his father Han Kuangsi to theorize.

Han Kuangsi was calm, "If you don't go to Xiao Mansion but to meet your Uncle Li's family, your father will not be repeatedly obstructed." ”

Han Derang lost the demeanor of a humble gentleman in the past, endured the anger in his heart, and tried his best to remain calm, "Father, I agreed to Lord Xiao and Yan Yan's family affair that day, do you want me to be a hypocrite who has no word to believe?" ”

Han Kuangsi took the case and shouted, "If you don't advocate and agree to marriage, why should I hide from Xiao Siwen for a few months?" ”

He walked up to Han Derang, "You know that what Xiao Siwen and the Jin prince are going to do is to rebel, you know what the emperor will do when he deals with the rebellious ministers, and you still want to entangle with the daughter of the Xiao family, do you want the Han family to accompany you to die?" ”

Han Kuangsi vented all the anger that had been suppressed in his chest for months on Han Derang, his chest rising and falling, panting.

Han Derang was silent for a moment, with some disdain and disappointment in his eyes, "Father, don't you also support the King of Jin?" Aren't you one of the rebels? Didn't you have a good relationship with Lord Xiao? Could it be that all this is done by you? ”

Han Derang knew that his father was a person who sought peace and stability in his life, and had never offended the powerful, even if the official position was not low, he was also laughing at everyone, when he knew that his father was willing to follow the prince of Jin, Han Derang was taken aback, thinking that his father had changed his sex, and wanted to let go, but he never thought that all this made him see his father's cowardly, timid, and darkest side.

Han Kuangsi's body stiffened, he saw the disappointment in Han Derang's eyes, cold sweat broke out, even if his face didn't show anything unusual, but the slightly trembling fingers revealed his nervousness.

He didn't want anyone else to know his timid side, especially his son.

Han Kuangsi froze, and his wide eyebrows furrowed again, "The in-laws of the children, the orders of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker, this is the rule that the Han people must abide by, and the private family affairs between you and Xiao Siwen are not counted." ”

"Father!"

"Okay," Han Kuangsi interrupted Han Derang, who was about to refute, "Your Uncle Li and the Han family are both Han Chinese, although they are a family of merchants, but his daughter Zhi'an is knowledgeable and reasonable, and she is the best candidate for daughter-in-law in my father's heart." ”

Han Derang was not half surprised in his heart, his father had been friends with Li Zhi'an's family for many years, and he always praised Li Zhi'an, he naturally knew his father's thoughts, but what was Xiao Xuan's thoughts?

Han Derang looked outside the window at the heavy snow falling, and was silent for a moment, "I haven't let Yan Yan know about what I agreed with Master Xiao, I always have to ask Yan Yan before I can make a conclusion, and I don't want to be a trustworthy and unrighteous person." If Yanyan doesn't have this intention for me, I won't force her, and I'm willing to obey my father's orders. "I wish to obey my father's orders, but I am helpless and powerless.

Filial piety comes first, Han Derang is unwilling to disobey his father's wishes, and he is unwilling, so he has to retreat to the second, if not, at least he must get Xiao Xuan's answer before he is willing to die.

Han Kuangsi thought for a moment, nodded and let him leave.

Han De let the green shirt and thin clothes, spur the horse, fearless of the wind and snow, and went straight to the Xiao Mansion.

Shaw House.

"Yanyan, I still ran out on a snowy day, so I froze my body." Xiao Siwen felt sorry for her daughter, and couldn't help blaming, and her tone was full of love.

Xiao Yu took off his mink fur and handed it to Ah Yu to dry by the stove. She stood at the door of the main hall, lifted the thick felt curtain, stood on the felt mat, stomped her feet vigorously, and shook off the melting snow before entering.

Xiao Xuan covered her red cheeks, walked to the warm stove and sat down, and said angrily, "On a snowy day, Brother Yelu didn't know where he was sent by you, and he didn't come back for several days, and no one accompanied me to practice whipping." ”

Xiao Siwen smiled, looked at Xiao Xuan rubbing her hands, and listened to her complain again, "Brother Derang seems to have disappeared, he hasn't come to play with me for months, and his life is really boring..."

Xiao Siwen's face returned to a bit of his former seriousness, "Yanyan, what do you think of Han De's letting this person?" ”

"Brother Derang? Humility and courtesy, gentlemanly bearing, naturally good. Xiao Xuan replied nonchalantly.

The door creaked, the felt curtain was slightly rolled up by the howling wind, scattered snowflakes drifted in, and there was a faint reflection of people on the snow outside, and the wind blew, and the felt curtain fell again.

Xiao Xuan looked strange, got up and wanted to find out, Xiao Siwen said again, "Then Yanyan thinks, how is he worthy of you?" ”

Xiao Xuan sat down on the chair, "Huh? ”

Xiao Siwen ignored Xiao Xuan's surprise, he seemed to have expected it, "Yanyan, you have grown up, and your father will not hide it from you, a few months ago, for your father, he agreed to marry you to him, what do you think?" ”

Xiao Xuan came to his senses at this time, and his ruddy face was slightly angry, "Father, you decided a few months ago, and you still don't want to hide it from me?" So how can it be considered deception? Didn't you ask me if I wanted to, and just let me go to someone else? ”

Xiao Siwen was a little angry, "Yanyan, being a father is for your good!" ”

Xiao Xuan stood up, her lips trembled a little, and tears were falling, "Father, you married your eldest sister to the dying old prince in the far northwest barbarian land, are you for her good?" If you try your best to stop it, the second sister will not marry Zhao Wangye, whom you have always hated, are you for her good? ”

Xiao Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped a handful of tears, and said slowly, "You promised me to someone I don't like today, who are you for..."

All she likes is the Yeluxian who gave her the peony, the Yeluxian who tied the acacia eternal silk thread for her, the Yeluxian who made herself think that 'he was in his fate', and the Yeluxian who made an appointment in the future...

Xiao Siwen sighed deeply, once for his political ambitions, he gave up his eldest daughter to marry the old prince, for Ye Luxian's plan, he had selfish intentions, and acquiesced to the second daughter marrying the powerful Zhao Wangye, and the daughter in front of him was what he really wanted to protect, but she denied it. If it weren't for their own ambitions, how could their daughters be unhappy?

The blame is self-inflicted, and the blame is unbearable.
