Chapter Twenty-Three: The Owner
And Emperor Wuding didn't know what was happening in the palace, he didn't know that he had lost a loyal minister, and that Suo Bofan, whom he had always trusted, was in two different worlds from him. Emperor Wuding continued to hurry, and when they arrived, the owner Xiao Ke was worried.
Xiao Ke is obsessed with carriage design, he has overturned his designs again and again, and it is because of his perfectionist spirit that he can always design unique carriages. Because Xiao Ke is rich and rivals the country, there are countless women who like him, but the person he likes is in a foreign snow side, although his status is noble, he is the princess of the snow side, but after all, it is far away. Distance has undoubtedly become a bond between the two, but he always has illusions - sometimes feelings can also break the spell of distance.
Until the years passed, and four years passed, the king of the snow side still did not agree to marry the princess Tiona to him, and he began to get anxious. His family has a big business and a lot of wealth, and his family power is not much lower than that of Princess Xuefang, why does King Xuefang just not like Xiao Ke? Xiao Ke is often annoyed and sad about this, why not Tiaona? If it weren't for her stubbornness and insistence on her feelings for Xiao Ke, her father and mother would have already married her to other people in the Xue Fang who were either powerful, rich or powerful.
Tiaona's insistence made her parents just want to have one more test for this exotic car-making prince, and sometimes this test would make Xiao Ke retreat, and for various reasons, this relationship dragged on for four years. The king's requirements are too high, and he is always reluctant to marry his daughter easily, and Xiao Ke himself is always tired of coping with this kind of test, so his performance undoubtedly makes the king a little more doubtful, so the tests are always born one after another, and he is also living up to the time in dealing with one test after another.
Xiao Ke has his own hobby - building cars, anesthetizing himself in car building, and looking for a sense of accomplishment and sustenance in car building. In his heart, only building a car is completely his, under his control. Compared with an uncertain love, he regards building a car as the most important. Of course, he only designed, and as for the construction of the car, the workers in his workshop had to work together to complete it.
There are many young workers in the workshop who are devoted to Xiao Ke, but Xiao Ke is a person of taste, and the girls of ordinary families are not eye-catching, just as he has done business, he does not want to become an ordinary man, so he will carry forward his father's family business and become a car workshop belonging to the first and second of the Great Yin Merchants, which is also very compatible with his ambitions. Tianna took a fancy to his ambition and his diligence and intelligence, and she felt that there was no man in her country who could make her heart more attractive than Xiao Ke.
She will always remember the first time they met, when he boldly came to their country alone to negotiate, he seemed not afraid at all, not stage fright, he gushed to all the officials present how good the carriage made in his workshop, the high-quality and inexpensive products, it is really rare, with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, the carriage he built was continuously transported to the snow side, and at the same time, the wealth was continuously imported into his own treasury. The two of them unconsciously looked at each other like this, but Tianna's father and mother meant that they had to look again. First, because of the large land plot of the Great Yin Shang, it aroused the jealousy and coveting of many neighboring tribes, so that there were too many wars, and they were not very relieved. Second, Xiao Ke has to take another look, there are too many men in the world who only care about their careers and don't know how to take into account their wives' feelings.
In the snow, Xiao Ke rode a horse and carried Tiaona to the open field to play, and suddenly it rained heavily, and Xiao Ke clearly remembered that he had brought two raincoats, but found that only one was left, and the other raincoat was missing. He was wondering when the rain crackled and fell heavier. He didn't have time to think about it, so he handed the raincoat to Tiaona, who was embarrassed and a little prevaricated, but Xiao Ke insisted that she wear it on his body. She is a princess, and if she catches a cold in the rain, her father and queen mother will blame him.
Xiao Ke saw that the weather was a little gloomy today, and he was reluctant to come out, but Tiaona clamored that the palace was too stuffy, and Xiao Ke must take her out to play, but Xiao Ke was deadlocked, so he had to take her out. Before leaving, he clearly remembered that he had brought two raincoats, and they were put in the burden on horseback, how could one be missing, it was really strange. He looked around and saw that there were no suspicious people around.
But it was true that he did bring two raincoats, and it was impossible to remember wrong. Either one of the raincoats was stolen from behind them as they galloped forward on their horses, or they quietly took the raincoats from their horsebacks in the short time they dismounted. This person is elusive, he must be a master. Seeing Xiao Ke's unyielding appearance, Tiao Na asked him what he was thinking? Xiao Ke said that he was a little stupid to be drenched in the rain, look at these four barren mountains and mountains, except for the ancient trees, there are some farmlands, and there is no place to shelter from the rain.
"Otherwise, I'll take off this raincoat for you." Jona said.
"No, you're a daughter, and it's not good if your body is drenched." Xiao Ke excused himself, and when he saw Xiao Ke being drenched in soup, Tiao Na burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Ke looked at her in surprise, suddenly his horse let out a long neighing sound, Xiao Ke began to worry about his horse, in this wilderness, if it gets wet, can they still ride back? Now it was raining heavily, and it was impossible for them to ride their horses back, for the horses could not find their way or listen to their commands on this rainy day. Seeing that Tiao Na's expression was a little weird, Xiao Ke began to wonder if this was the idea of her father and queen mother again?
Her father, king, and queen mother's recent tests on Xiao Ke have reached an unreasonable and unacceptable level. "Did you hide that raincoat?" Xiao Ke asked. Hearing this, Tianna shook her head nervously and nodded.
"Are you crazy? What are you hiding your raincoat for? Xiao Ke roared.
This is what the father and the queen mother mean. They want to test you. Tianna said with some guilt.
"You're just too obedient to your parents!" Xiao Ke yelled at her, threw her in the rain, and left without looking back, disappearing into the rain curtain, Tiaona looked at his back, stunned. From childhood to adulthood, she will not disobey her parents, and if her parents let her go east, she will not dare to go west. The parents just wanted to test whether he was sincere about their daughter. Of course, her parents were just testing him, and they didn't want to hurt him. And thoughtful, worried about goofs, accidents. In addition, a few men were sent to follow far behind. Those subordinates were fully equipped with raincoats, rushed forward and put a raincoat on Xiao Ke's body, and persuaded him not to be angry.
How could Xiao Ke not be angry? As he paced in the rain and thought back to the unpleasant things in the past, he felt dizzy. The deepest impression was when he was busy in the workshop, dealing with difficult affairs, when suddenly Yukikata sent a messenger to inform him that Tiona had suddenly become seriously ill and asked him to go as fast as possible. He was surprised and worried about how Jona suddenly became seriously ill at such a young age. Sickness can only be trusted, not not. Xiao Ke had no choice but to stop what he was doing and follow the messenger to the snow side. Once there, Jona was in good shape. Xiao Ke looked at her and asked her what was uncomfortable? Tianna said that she didn't say that she was uncomfortable, and looked at him inexplicably, and blamed him: "Haven't you only been away from the snow for a few days, why did you come here again?" ”
Xiao Ke was so angry that he beat his chest, he was very busy, Tiaona's parents were the monarchs of a country, and they actually made such a joke and summoned him. Is this to make him retreat?
