Chapter 23: Rumors

What made Yi Qi Wanxi realize was the joking words of the students in the class during the afternoon class: "The adults said that a few years ago, Yi Qi Mansion withdrew the marriage contract of the Qi family, which made the Qi family lose face, and now the Qi family is coming back with revenge." ”

"But in the end, this is the loss of the Qi family, after all, a family like Yiqi Mansion is also one of the best in the whole of Shanghai."

"Sir, it is rumored that you were divorced by the eldest young master of the Qi family, but no one dares to ask you anymore, after all, no matter how noble you are, you are just an abandoned woman, and the people who will pick up the people thrown away by the eldest young master of Qi will not be able to climb you, but those who are worthy of you will not pick up what others throw away."

"With your current reputation, sir, you came to teach us, I don't know what the school thinks."

Yi Qi Wanxi didn't pay much attention to the students' words, but when she heard this, she raised her head, looked at the students staring at her, and couldn't help but sneer, and after a long time, she slowly spoke: "At a young age, if you don't learn serious for a day, you only gossip about other people's affairs?" ”

The tone was cold, chilling, and incommensurate with the gentle-looking face. When the sound fell, the noisy classroom was silent for a moment, Yi Qi Wanxi looked coldly at the students who were scared in the audience, and said coldly: "What's wrong with my reputation?" My reputation is not for those of you who don't know anything about things and like to talk nonsense! Yi Qi Wanxi still had a lot to say, but she felt that she was about to cry, so she suppressed her emotions and softened her tone a little, "Let's continue the class." ”

At the same time, the Admiral's Palace.

"Father." Si Yu, who was wearing a military uniform, stood in the study, looked at the middle-aged man who was sitting on the chair in front of him and had just hung up the phone, and said, "I want to tell you about the ...... with Yiqi Mansion."

"Your marriage?" Si Jian raised his head, his eyebrows full of majesty.

Si Yu nodded thoughtfully and did not speak.

"Although the matter between the third lady of Yiqi Mansion and the eldest young master of the Qi family has some bad influence on Yiqi Mansion, there don't seem to be any rumors about the fourth lady." Si Jian said, searching for the papers on the table, "So you don't have to worry about anything. ”

"Father, the fourth lady doesn't seem to want to marry me." Si Yu said.

When Si Jian heard this, he was stunned for a second, looked up at him, and slowly pulled out a stack of papers from the pile of documents: "Didn't you say that she was quite willing to marry into the Si family?" Seeing that Si Yu didn't speak, he said again, "Didn't the fourth lady agree to this matter because she agreed to Yiqi Mansion?" ”

"It's Anan who went to propose." Si Yu reminded.

Si Jian thought carefully, was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly said, "She thought she was going to marry Anan?" ”

Si Yu didn't speak, nodding his head in agreement.

"But Anan and Ru are ......" Sinan and Chen Rutian are recognized as a natural pair in the army. Si Jian wanted to speak and stopped, and suddenly felt that things were a little difficult, so he frowned slightly, and then looked up at Si Yu, "I'll talk about this later, you don't have anything else to do, go down first." ”

"I don't want to marry Miss Fourth either." Si Yu's tone was soft but firm.

Si Jian put down the documents in his hand, looked at Si Yu with a straight face, his sword eyebrows were furrowed, and his tone was stern: "Who do you want to marry?" After a pause, he said, "As long as you have a woman you want to marry, the Si family will hold a marriage for you as soon as possible, so that you can marry the woman you like back to the Si family." ”

The reason why Si Jian said this was just that he calculated that Si Yu would not have anyone he wanted to marry. After all, about Si Yu's marriage, the Si family has worried about it more than once, and has looked for a lot of partners for Si Yu, but Si Yu can't look down on any of them. Si Jian's wife, Mo Wen, saw that the sons of her friends were getting married one after another, and Si Yu had no idea yet, so she couldn't help but be a little anxious. Mo Wen was in a hurry, and Si Jian followed suit, so after comprehensive consideration, he couldn't help but look for Si Yu to find the most suitable for him - the daughter of Yiqi Mansion. But Mo Wen and Si Jian knew that it was impossible for Si Yu to propose, so they asked Sinan to go for Si Yu.

"Is my father serious?" When Si Yu asked this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously smiled slightly.

Si Jian stared at Si Yu for a few seconds, and found that Si Yu didn't seem to be joking, and couldn't help but feel relieved that his son had an idea, and his tone was a little excited: "Seriously." ”

"You won't object?" Si Yu asked.

"Of course not!" Si Jian said, standing up. The reason why he would not object was not just because he believed in Si Yu too much, he knew the characters that Si Yu usually came into contact with, and he believed in Si Yu's vision. is also because Si Yu finally has the woman he wants to marry, how can he oppose it, and how dare he oppose it.

"Since I was a child, my father taught me that a gentleman is hard to chase." Si Yu said, "I think that my father said that he would hold a marriage for me as soon as possible, so he must have done that." ”

"yes, so who do you want to marry?" Seeing that Si Yu didn't speak for a long time, Si Jian couldn't help but be a little anxious, and asked again, "So who do you want to marry?" ”

Si Yu was silent for a few more seconds, Zhengse slowly spoke, his voice was not light or heavy, but firm and powerful, he said, "Yi Qi Wanxi." ”

Hearing the words "Yi Qi Wanxi", Si Jian was stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong for a while, and after slowing down for two seconds, he asked, "Who?" ”

"There are three thousand gold in Yiqi's mansion, and Yiqi is gentle." Si Yu said.

For a moment, Si Jian felt that Si Yu's voice was very soft and ethereal, right in his ears, but it seemed to come from afar. After a while, Si Jian came back to his senses, slowly sat down on the chair, and looked at Si Yu for a few seconds before he slowly spoke: "You...... Earnest? ”

"Yes." Si Yu replied simply.

"Why her?" Si Jian frowned, his tone stern but puzzled.

Si Yu obviously didn't want to explain, and he didn't explain, and said: "My father said that he would not object, and he would hold a marriage for me as soon as possible, so that I could marry the woman I liked back to the Si family." Seeing that Si Jian was a little hesitant, he said, "Since I was a child, my father taught me that a gentleman's word is difficult to chase a horse, and what my father promised to his son will not go back on his word, right?" ”

The tone that seemed to ask but not asked made Si Jian uncomfortable for a while. But the words are said by themselves, and the pit they dug by themselves will be jumped no matter what. So there was a helpless smile on Si Jian's serious face: "I won't." Seeing that Si Yu was a little happy, he said, "Did the third lady agree?" This matter must be agreed by the third lady herself, right? ”

"Nature." Si Yu smiled lightly, and then retired and left.

Si Jian watched Si Yu leave and close the door, and couldn't help leaning back on the back of the seat, raising his hand and pressing his slightly aching temples, with a lot of emotions in his eyes.

Si Jian is not against Si Yu marrying Yi Qi Wanxi, Yi Qi Wanxi is a good woman, if it weren't for the fact that she had a marriage contract with Qi Tianyu, Si Jian would want Yi Qi Wanxi to be his daughter-in-law more than Yi Qi Mancao.

Yi Qi Wanxi, Yi Qi Mansion has 3,000 gold, how many noble children in Shanghai have pursued women, but Qi Tianyu's kid is cheaper. In this regard, Si Jian actually regretted it for a while, and he thought that maybe he should go to Yiqi Mansion to propose marriage before Qi Tianyu. But Si Jian was not anxious about Si Yu's marriage before, he thought that Si Yu should marry a woman in the army, but Si Yu reached the marriageable age, and Si Jian had no way to hurry.

Si Yu said, I won't marry a woman in the army, it's too hard. After all, not everyone is Chen Rutian, although her father is a soldier, she has also been in the army since she was a child, but her mother is a very gentle and intellectual beautiful woman. So Chen Ru not only has the fortitude of a soldier, but also the gentleness and beauty that women should have but most women do not have.

After hearing about the marriage between the eldest young master of the Qi family and the three thousand gold of Yiqi Mansion, he knew that Yi Qi Wanxi was obsessed with the children of many famous nobles, so he was slightly interested in this girl, so he specially asked Yi Qi Wanxi when he went to Yiqi Mansion later.

When he saw Yi Qi Wanxi, Si Jian only said "the fiancΓ©e of the eldest young master of the Qi family", but it was just to remind himself that this girl was already famous. At that moment, Si Jian understood why "Yi Qi Wanxi" would make the children of the nobility in Shanghai so obsessed, if he hadn't reminded himself like this, Si Jian would have wanted her to be his daughter-in-law.

But how crazy Yi Qi Wanxi was in the past, how contemptible it is now.

"Unexpectedly, the three thousand gold of the dignified Yiqi Mansion was abandoned by the eldest young master of the Qi family, and I thought that they would grow old." The person who said this to Si Jian a few days ago was his wife Mo Wen, her tone was calm, but she vaguely revealed a little disdain, "Sure enough, even if it is the third lady, does it become casual to stay abroad alone for a few years and come back?" ”

Like most others, Mo Wen doesn't have a good impression of Yi Qi Wanxi today, and what Mo Wen said about Yi Qi Wanxi is a casual woman, but also because someone else doesn't know who said, "The eldest young master of the Qi family quit the marriage because Yi Qi Mansion has three thousand gold and is a casual woman." That's why Si Jian felt a headache.

Si Yu wants to marry Yi Qi Wanxi, Si Jian will not object, but what he is afraid of is that Si Yu's biological mother, Mo Wen, will object. Si Yu is a very tough person, and so is Mo Wen, what the two of them believe will not be easily changed, and the marriage between Si Yu and Yi Qi Wanxi, Mo Wen must know. Si Jian's headache is that the two of them will have an unpleasant quarrel because of Yi Qi's grace, and the most painful thing is actually Si Jian himself. Si Yu didn't need him to coax, but Mo Wen did, and he had to adjust the relationship between the two......

"It seems that ......" Si Jian suddenly thought of Sinan, and only then did he relax a little, and muttered to himself, "Anan has to be busy again." ”

In the Si family, Si Nan's existence is a regulator, mainly to regulate the relationship between Mo Wen and Si Yu. Si Yu has his own ideas, and he is reluctant to do what Mo Wen thinks, but Mo Wen feels that Si Yu is the best only if he says it, so the two often clash. Si Jian was very busy, and he really didn't want to worry about family affairs anymore, because it would make him more annoying, so Si Jian asked Si Nan to comfort Mo Wen for him.

Sinan is a dutiful son, he listens to Mo Wen very much, and he has a good temper and is very patient, so Mo Wen told Si Nan all the things she wanted to say to Si Yu but Si Yu didn't listen. Sinan listened to it all silently, and then Mo Wen's mood improved, and she didn't bother with Si Yu anymore.

Si Jian found that Si Nan was actually a good tool, so there was an unpleasant relationship between Mo Wen and Si Yu, and Si Jian asked Si Nan to appease Mo Wen well. Obviously, Sinan likes Mo Wen very much, and every time Mo Wen's mood can quickly improve.

But Mo Wen is a woman who attaches great importance to honor, and this time the matter is not trivial. Mo Wen thinks that Yi Qi Wanxi is a casual woman, so Si Jian doesn't know if this time, Mo Wen will be like before, coaxing.

The more Si Jian thought about it, the more his head hurt, he looked at the papers on the table, sighed, and forced himself not to think about it, so that he could devote himself to his work.
