Chapter 83 Chapter 76 Rivalry

"Is there anyone like you?" Li Yanxu shook his head and said helplessly.

"Then I wish you an early birth to a precious son," after a pause, Mengyu said again: "You talk, I'll go and see what dinner has been prepared for us in the kitchen today." When I'm ready, I'll have you called. With that, Mengyu waved his hand at the two of them and left.

"What does she mean by waving her hand?" Li Yanxu asked with a puzzled expression.

Lan Yucheng remembered the explanation that Mengyu had explained to her, and laughed: "She said, that means goodbye." If you stay with her for a long time, you will find that she not only has a lot of strange ideas, but also a lot of puzzling words and actions. ”

"Yu Cheng, do you feel that you are different from before?" Li Yanxu looked at Lan Yucheng's smile that was different from the past, and said with a little meaning. The two of them have known each other for a year and a half, no matter what their parents are now, they have always had a deep personal relationship. In front of people, it is natural to take care of the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and after people, they call each other by their own names. If they don't understand each other, I'm afraid they don't believe it themselves.

"Is there one? I feel like I've always been like you, always like you've always been my best friend. Lan Yucheng regained his usual gentle smile and looked at Li Yanxu and replied.

"You know, that's not what I'm talking about." Li Yanxu said seriously.

Of course, Lan Yucheng knew what he wanted to say, but he didn't mean to mention that incident at all: "What does that mean?" Could it be that you are really ready to obey your parents' orders, marry Miss Jiang Si of the Mighty Marquis Mansion, never get along with me for old age, and then follow in your father's footsteps and join Prince Cheng's camp? ”

Hearing Lan Yucheng's words, Li Yanxu naturally knew that he didn't want to mention that incident at all, and wanted to change the topic in a roundabout way. But he, Li Yanxu, was not a person who was interested in it, or who was willing to be "rare and confused", so he said: "The matter of marrying Miss Jiang Si or not, I won't mention this matter for the time being." The two of us have been friends for so many years, don't you know what I think? I just wanted to ask you, do you like Miss Lin San? ”

A simple question not only shocked Lan Yucheng's heart, but even Li Yanxu himself was afraid that he couldn't tell what kind of feeling he felt in his heart at this moment. Why is it so strange, doesn't he just want to know if Lan Yucheng likes Miss Lin San or not, why the tone of these words, the feeling in his heart, is so unclear and unclear.

"I ......" Lan Yucheng wanted to say that he didn't like it directly, but when the words reached his throat, he couldn't spit them out.

"How are you?" Li Yanxu didn't care what happened to him, he pressed step by step, looked at Lan Yucheng and asked.

Lan Yucheng avoided Li Yanxu's eyes looking at him, turned to look at the lake outside, and said, "Miss Lin San is lively by nature, which is different from other women. She wants 'a couple for a lifetime', I can't give it in this life, so I don't think I will like her. I just think of her as a confidante. Speaking of which, no matter whether Li Yanxu believed it or not, at least Lan Yucheng himself was still not sure about this answer. If he swore to the gods, he was afraid that he would lack such self-confidence.

"Is it really just a confidant? Don't forget, your wife is just as involuntary as I am. The person chosen by your mother is Xie Danniang of Xie University's Scholar's Mansion. And it is obvious that Xie Danniang has a love for you, which is something that everyone knows. If your mother spoke, Scholar Xie would definitely agree. "In the family of dignitaries, who can marry the woman he loves. After enjoying that supreme reverence, what you pay is a free choice that ordinary people cannot understand.

"That's just the mother's idea, and the father didn't say it at all. Therefore, Xie Danniang's matter is nonsense at all. What's more, she Xie Danniang is nothing at all except for having a first-class member as her father. In terms of talent, those who are one level higher than her abound; On appearance, it is easy to find the beauties of the world; On morality, there is no education, and evil words are spoken. How can such a person who is not superior in talent, appearance, and morality be my wife? If my father really has that day to sit in that seat, how can such a person stand by my side in the future and honor the world? It's just a hair of Miss Lin San, she can't compare. Prince Luo naturally told her son about this plan, but at that time, Lan Yucheng cleverly changed the topic. At that time, like his previous father, he wanted to marry the daughter of a military general, so that they could have a higher prestige in the military camp. But the matter of the two princes asking to marry the mighty marquis has always been a thorn in the heart of his mother, if he rashly proposed, his mother must be sad.

"Xie Danniang may not be qualified enough, since you think she can't even compare to Miss Lin San's hair, is it possible that Miss Lin San can stand by your side and be the mother of the world?" Li Yanxu didn't let Lan Yucheng go at all, trying to get an answer from his mouth that would make him contradict himself.

"You're wrong, I just meant to appreciate that." Lan Yucheng turned around and said lightly. The smile on his face began to fade.

"Is it really just appreciation?" Li Yanxu repeated in disbelief.

"Seriously!" Lan Yucheng replied in the affirmative.

"I just hope you're really sure you're like that." Li Yanxu sighed and said. He felt a sense of relief at the moment. Perhaps, he already knew exactly how he felt about Miss Lin San.

"Of course I know what I want, but do you know what you're doing? Don't forget, it was you who proposed to withdraw from the marriage in the first place, which made the Lin Mansion and Miss Lin San completely disgraced in Kyoto. Lan Yucheng was not to be outdone, why did he get close to Miss Lin San, and he had to be questioned by him Li Yanxu.

"I don't need to be reminded of it, I know what I've done. If I had known that Miss Lin San was such a woman, and that I would have had so many indissoluble bonds with Miss Lin San, then I would never have chosen as I did at the beginning. "Since he, Lan Yucheng, has already expressed his attitude, he just appreciates Miss Lin San. He didn't want to know if it was true or not, but he just wanted to tell Lan Yucheng that he liked Lin Mengyu, and Lin Mengyu was destined to be his Li Yanxu's wife in this life, whether it was in the past or in the future.

"You'd better let go of the feelings in your heart, because that's impossible." Lan Yucheng looked at the man in front of him who had always been his good brother, and said with a complicated and contradictory expression.

"Why can't it be? Now that I have figured it out, I will naturally go back to my parents, personally go to the Lin Mansion to apologize, and ask for marriage again. Li Yanxu said firmly.

"Hehe, you're thinking too simply." Lan Yucheng smiled faintly and continued: "First of all, regardless of whether your father will agree to you or not, for the sake of you offending the Mighty Marquis Mansion, once again refuse the family affairs mentioned by the two families. Just the Lin Mansion pass, you can't pass it. Think about Lin Zhijie's attitude towards you, how can he rest assured that he would marry his most precious sister to someone who had ruined his sister's reputation? Think about it again, will Mrs. Lin still agree to a man who once resolutely asked to withdraw from the marriage without listening to advice and ignoring the relationship between the two families, and asked to marry her Miss Lin Mansion? "He, Li Yanxu, thinks everything is too simple, can't he help himself, hasn't he fully realized it?

"This ......" Thinking of Mrs. Lin's attitude of ignoring him, and thinking of the fight between Lin Zhijie and him, Li Yanxu felt a little difficult, and said in a slightly reluctant tone: "As long as I treat Miss Lin San sincerely, I think Brother Lin should be able to ignore the past suspicions." What's more, Shangshu Mansion and Lin Bachelor's Mansion are married, and the old lady should be happy to see it. ”

"You are too whimsical, even if it is true that everyone can act according to your wishes, what about Miss Lin San? Will she accept you? Lan Yucheng really wanted to bring a basin of cold water and pour it over Li Yanxu's head.

"She ......" to Miss Lin San's mind, Li Yanxu was really not at all sure. If it is about closeness, Lan Yucheng and Miss Lin San stay in this villa these days, talking and laughing every day, naturally they spend more time together than him. But he believes that she will never choose Lan Yucheng: "She will definitely be willing to marry me, because I can give her the promise of 'one couple for a lifetime'!" ”

No matter what Lin Mengyu's choice was, Lan Yucheng was silent at this moment.
