Seeing the backs of Wei Rui and Liu Qing'er disappear, Wei Changan stood in place and thought for a long time before turning around and planning to leave.

Everyone has something difficult, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, and meritorious service and children's love for children always seem to be contrary to each other and cannot exist at the same time.

He raised his head with his hands up, the bright moon was in the sky, the streets were bustling, the red lights were lit up, and the laughter continued.

On one side is his people, and on the other is where his heart desires.

Boss Jia's words echoed in his ears, and he remembered Liu Qing'er's eyes just now, she seemed to know everything, and she didn't seem to know anything.

His preoccupation made him look small, but a few steps away, someone was sighing like him.

Wei Changan took a few steps forward, bowed and said, "Uncle Liu." ”

Liu Yan turned his head to look at him, his eyes were a little complicated, but he didn't respond.

"I ......" he opened his mouth to say something, but Liu Yan said: "It's too noisy here, let's change places if you want to say anything." ”

The two walked towards the secluded alley one after the other, Wei Chang'an was in a complicated mood, and even didn't know how to face the elder in front of him.

The alley was facing the wind, a little cool, and Liu Yan said: "The last time you came to talk to me about that incident, I was afraid that she would hear it, so I made this decision." ”

Wei Changan was stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "How could she hear it?" I thought...... I thought ......"

"You think I made her do this?" Liu Yan smiled bitterly, "No matter how vicious I am in your heart, I am not the one who pushes my daughter into the fire pit." ”

There was a suffocating silence all around, even if the wind blew, Wei Changan couldn't feel any sound at all. He knew that the father in front of him was making the same difficult choices as he was, and that he was disappointed in him.

"Do you know why I didn't agree to your marriage?" Liu Yan suddenly spoke.

Wei Changan was silent for a while before he said, "I vaguely know a little." ”

"Oh?" Liu Yan looked at him with some surprise and asked, "What do you know?" Oh, did Qing'er tell you? Say it's because of the old things? ”

Wei Changan shook his head: "You are not a person who holds grudges, and those old things can't make you ignore your daughter's happiness, you love Qing'er, not someone who will force her." ”

"You don't want her to marry me, probably because you're too scared, so you want her to live a more stable life." When Wei Changan said this, his tone was very light, and he continued, "As for why I know this, it is because I am not in a hurry to marry her, and it is also because of this." ”

Liu Yan let out a sigh of relief, and only said after a while: "Your side is too dangerous." Rather than happiness, I would rather let Qing'er live a more stable life. ”

"I understand." Wei Changan responded, "Qing'er is simple and is too well protected, when she enters the county government and comes to me, there are too many variables." I know all this, and I don't dare to forget for a moment that the former county magistrate was also killed by someone because of the bandits. ”

He clenched his fists tightly, his voice trembling a little.

"I didn't fulfill the promise I made with her quickly, I always thought she would complain about me, but ......"

"She thought I was in the way, so you couldn't be together, how could you think that you didn't plan to marry her at all?" Liu's grim tone was a little indescribably complicated, with some unwillingness, but there was no meaning to blame.

"How stupid." Wei Changan smiled bitterly and said, "How did she know about Boss Jia's affairs?" ”

Liu Yan seemed to think for a while before speaking: "She told me that because she rarely saw you come to me for something, she felt curious, so she eavesdropped. ”

"But I'm ......" Wei Changan was slightly excited, and said after a while: "But I, I said it at the time, I don't know why Boss Jia fell in love with Qing'er, let you be more careful, how could she ......?"

"I think I heard it from beginning to end." Liu grim's tone was a little helpless.

Liu Yan knows his daughter, although he looks stupid, he doesn't care about anything, and he doesn't take anything to heart. But after all, she has grown to sixteen years old, and many things, even if she don't know what they are, will not be the same as before.

Like Wei Changan, he always felt that the girl was still young, but he didn't know when, she actually understood and knew how to love someone.

"Why are you ......" Wei Changan's voice became lower and lower, with an uncontrollable trill, "Don't stop her?" ”

Liu Yan looked at Wei Changan, suddenly smiled, and then asked coldly, "What about you?" Why don't you stop it? She's the most obedient to you. ”

"I ......" Wei Changan was speechless for a while.

Liu Yan said: "You can't choose, in fact, you also agree, don't you?" You want to exchange her for Boss Jia's money to make up for the money you urgently need now that can't be made up, don't you? ”

"I'm ......" Wei Changan's lips trembled, his eyes fluttered, and even his body trembled.

That "no" can't be said at all.

Yes, he even had a little hope that Liu Qing'er could marry Jiafu, like that...... That way, maybe more people won't have to die.

As for the subsidy of neighboring countries, after he and the prince's vigorous fundraising, it is still quite a lot. As the richest man in the border city, Boss Jia's financial resources are enough to fill these holes.

It's just that what this person should pay and donate is not bad, and if he gives it now, it will be a favor.

Since it is a favor, it is also appropriate to put forward conditions.

Moreover, the border city is always turbulent, and the forces of various parts are uncertain, and this money cannot be forcibly collected, otherwise if the rich merchants unite to make trouble, they are afraid that it will backfire.

And if you can't meet even a few conditions, I'm afraid that it will be even more difficult to collect in the future.

The capital handed over this matter to the prince, obviously embarrassing the prince, but if the prince is angry, he is afraid that when the neighboring country dies, the next thing to fight is Minglang County.

Now Minglang County is fighting with the west, if the east also comes, two sides of the attack, I am afraid that this county will not be able to protect, and people will only be afraid of more.

Therefore, Wei Changan hesitated, and Boss Jia said that it was okay to ask for money, but his third son Jia Zhenzhen had not married for a long time, and he fell in love with the girl in the tofu workshop, and hoped that the adults would cut their love and become a dog.

Wei Changan was undecided, not knowing what to do.

He didn't know why love must be Liu Qing'er, and he didn't understand why Jia Zhenzhen was obviously blind, and he could accurately express that he had a good impression of Liu Qing'er, after all, the two of them had almost no formal meeting.

However, Boss Jia's conditions were too tempting, and in his panic, he didn't even know who to go to to discuss this matter.

Therefore, he tentatively went to Uncle Liu, who he thought would scold him to make him sober up and make him make a right decision.

However, he never expected that Uncle Liu was silent.

And Liu Qing'er also knew about it unexpectedly, so this transaction, which had not yet been decided by him sitting down, was completed under the promotion of the parties.

"Wei County's order, you can be weak, but you can't be hypocritical." Liu Yan finally said this sentence and turned to leave.

Leaving Wei Changan standing in place, he didn't leave for a long time.
