Chapter 42: Meeting Loved Ones
Not long after Guiyi took Bai Jin out of Fengping Mountain, someone came to report that Guiyi's uncle had returned, and was waiting for them in the clan council hall.
Gui Yi looked at Bai Jin worriedly, she didn't understand why her uncle had to see Bai Jin in the council hall. In this way, it can show the respect of the Gui clan for the royal family, but it is more respectful than friendly.
When they arrived at the council hall, they saw a middle-aged man dressed in a black robe, waiting at the door for a long time.
This is Guiyi's uncle Guixun! Bai Jin hurriedly quickened his pace to catch up.
It's just that he just approached, but Gui Xun solemnly greeted him.
"Minister, return to Xun, meet His Highness."
Bai Jin's action was also very fast, and he stopped him from bowing down in time.
Helped up Gui Xun, and calmly performed the junior salute, "Bai Jin greeted the general." β
Gui Xun glanced at Bai Jin with scrutinizing eyes, and said indifferently, "In the next small people, how can they afford such a big gift from His Royal Highness!" β
Bai Jin did not change color because of his attitude, but spoke gently and calmly.
"Yu Gong, the general has made meritorious contributions in retreating from the enemy and defending the territory, and he can afford to pay a hundred courtesies. Yu privately ......" Bai Jin gently looked at Gui Yi who was standing beside him, "I have made a marriage contract with Yi Er, and the general is the elder of Yi Er, that is, Bai Jin's elder, and naturally he can afford Bai Jin's courtesy." β
His Royal Highness has always been calm and reasonable, and Gui Yi is relieved.
She was relieved, but Gui Xun's face on the opposite side did not look good because of Bai Jin's words, "I have long heard that His Royal Highness is eloquent, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." β
This seems to be a compliment, but even Gui Yi can hear that it is not good.
Bai Jin didn't seem to hear it, and saluted gently and calmly again, "The general has won the award!" β
Gui Xun looked at such a hundred treasures, and his heart was a little more solemn.
It seems that in the past, everyone underestimated this highness, who seemed to be gentle and elegant, calm and generous. But in fact, he used this gentle appearance to create a soft armor for himself, which is difficult to penetrate!
It seems that Wu'er is right, this highness is thoughtful, and he is not a good match!
Gui Yi saw that the situation was wrong, ran over and hugged Gui Xun's arm, and pulled him outside, "Uncle, it's time for dinner soon, let's go to dinner together, I'm hungry." β
Gui Xun grew up watching Gui Yi since she was a child, where would she not know her careful thoughts? It's just that she's afraid that he will bully her fiancΓ©!
He glared at Guiyi, but he had always had no majesty in Guiyi.
Gui Yi hugged his arm and shook it, "If there is anything, let's talk while eating, otherwise it's okay to chat after eating, why bother to come to this council hall so much?" β
Bai Zhen had never seen such a coquettish Guiyi, this was a side he had never seen. He watched Guiyi's maintenance of him, and his heart crossed a warm current, and there was a warm smile on his lips.
Bai Jin's gentle and shallow smile is very good-looking, it is really like jade in the sky, and the son is unparalleled in the world!
But seeing such a hundred jin, Gui Xun's face was not good-looking. He said to Guiyi: "Since Yi'er is hungry, let's go to the front to pass the meal first, my uncle and His Royal Highness still have important things to discuss." β
Seeing that he was resolute and left Bai Jin, she was not in a hurry to leave, "Uncle, what do you want to talk to Bai Jin?" Is there anything I can't listen to? β
"You go first, we'll come later." Guixun Road.
Gui Yi didn't move.
Bai Jin looked at Gui Yi, his eyes full of tenderness, "Since Ying'er is hungry, let's go to eat first, you don't have to wait for us." Be obedient, obedient, we'll come later. β
Bai Jin had never spoken to her like this, Gui Yi looked at him, and the whole person looked stunned like an ignorant deer. It's just that her cheeks secretly crept up with a blush, and then ...... And then she went away with a dizzy head!
After walking for a while, Gui Yi was annoyed.
Finished! Finished!
All the stupidity I just had was seen by His Highness!!
Also, she was so bewildered by the beauty of His Royal Highness that she just left??
After Gui Xun left, his face sank completely, "Please follow me into the main hall." β
"General, please."
In the council hall, the two sat down, and Gui Xun spoke first.
"I won't go around the bush, I'm talking to Your Highness about your marriage with Guiyi."
Bai Jin's heart tightened, and with the attitude of Gui Xun before, what he wanted to talk about should not be marriage.
I had some calculations in my heart, but Bai Jin didn't move at all, and said politely: "The marriage contract between me and Yi'er was made under the witness of my father and the goddess Mo Jun, and I signed the marriage letter on the spot. If there is anything wrong with it, please speak up to the general, and I will do my best to make up for it. β
"Humph! You don't have to play any tricks with me! I'm talking to you about divorce. Gui Xun said with a cold face.
Although Bai Jin guessed a few points in his heart, he still changed his expression when he heard this.
He got up and saluted solemnly, "The marriage contract between me and Yi'er was made by my father and Mo Jun, and I and Yi'er are in love, and it is absolutely impossible to withdraw from the marriage." β
"Your Highness, be careful! Yi'er has rarely gone out since she was a child, and she has never seen His Royal Highness, so in a short period of time, how can the two be happy? She just doesn't see you as a playmate to associate with! β
There was a trace of panic in Bai Jin's eyes, and although his face looked calm and composed, his hands behind his back were tightly grasping the cuffs.
He tried not to let himself be affected by Gui Xun's words, but he was very uncertain and worried that it was true. But no matter what, he won't let go!
A person who has lived in darkness for a long time suddenly feels light and warmth, so how can he let go?
Even if...... Even if Yi'er really doesn't have him in his heart, he is willing to wait!
There is no Gui Xun, and Gui Xun is also very polite to speak, "You don't have to ask Qing in front of me." I'll tell you the truth, although Yi'er is his only daughter, it is not from his beloved, and he has never come to see Yi'er once since he was born. So, don't think that you can rely on this marriage contract to get the support of Mozambique! β
The love-hate entanglement of the previous generation, Bai Jin is not too clear, at this time, when he heard about the relationship between Gui Yi and Mo Jun from Gui Xun's mouth, Bai Jin's first reaction was to feel distressed about Gui Yi.
He thought that she had grown up in thousands of favors, but he didn't expect to be so untreated by his biological father.
"So, are you willing to get out of the marriage?" Gui Xun saw Bai Jin's brows furrowed tightly, his expression was obviously displeased, and he didn't want to see him in his heart.
Bai Jin shook his head, "I just didn't expect Mo Jun to treat Yi'er like this. However, fortunately, with the love of the general, Yi'er can have today. Bai Jin could see that Yi'er was obviously much closer to the general. β
Gui Xun frowned slightly, why doesn't this sound a little wrong?
Bai Jin looked directly into Gui Xun's eyes, and said sincerely and firmly: "I never thought that I would gain the support of the Gui clan and the Mo State through this marriage contract. In fact, Yi'er has never shown up in these years, I thought that Gui and Mo Jun would withdraw from the marriage, and I was ready to be divorced. β
