Chapter Seventy-Two: Recruiting a Son-in-law
Chapter 72 Recruiting Sons-in-law
Walking out of the Yunju, my chaotic mind has calmed down a lot, maybe I have seen too much of Dugu Hao's deviant appearance, and I don't take it so seriously. And because Li Xuan's confession came first, it diluted the annoyance that Dugu Hao brought me.
I have a different position from him, and I can't think of going anywhere, and I don't blame him. Anyway, I grew up together (情qíng) points, I heard him say that he had murderous intentions towards me, and I knew that he was interested in me, and I couldn't accept this turn of events for a while. If he hadn't stopped me from saving my father, I wouldn't have happened to me today, and if he had insisted on obstructing me, I would have cut him off.
The Qin Mansion is under the control of Qi Ao, and there has never been a mess, except for a few people who are close (身shēn) who serve my father, most of them do not know the inner (情qíng) of my father's injury, and what should the people do is no different from the past (日rì).
I shook into the Xi Garden, changed into my clothes, and prepared to go over to see my father's (情qíng) shape. When I walked out of the garden, I happened to meet Qi Ao, and I looked at his appearance, as if he wanted to go with me. He was accustomed to a (body shēn) dark colored clothes, very calm, he slowed down his pace and waited for me: "I heard people say, you two (day rì) are looking for people everywhere, can you make progress?" ”
There is no need to avoid him too much, I have always treated him as my own: "It is Emperor Qi Long Xiao who wants to kill my father, and he is still in Qinzhou at the moment, I just have to find him, except for him." ”
Qi Ao was startled, his brows were deeply locked, he rarely showed such a (love qíng) emotion, he should be worried that my sword would go off the rails and fall into uncontrollable situations: "You want to kill him?" ”
His reaction was in the (情qíng) reason, where is it so easy to kill the emperor of Daqi, I comforted him: "You don't have to be nervous, killing him is a last resort, if he can give up and secretly leave Qinzhou, I won't rush to kill him, I want to repel him and keep my father." ”
"I respect everything you do, remember only one thing, don't put yourself in danger, there is me behind you (body shēn)."
Listen, this is the statement that a childhood sweetheart should have, which is like Dugu Hao's villain, the light will threaten me.
"Hmm. I remember. It's good for you to help my dad deal with the big and small things in Qinzhou, you know, I'm not good at these. ”
He raised his eyes: "Sooner or later, you will have to take this burden, with your talent, if you take the time (日rì), you will not do worse than me." ”
When I was a child, I felt a headache when I heard that I was going to take over a bunch of tedious official duties, and my thoughts have not changed at this age: "Of course I understand the truth that practice makes perfect, but I am lazy and used to enjoying it." ”
"By the way, the housekeeper sent someone to say that my father had something to discuss with me, and the person who sent the message looked very serious, I guess, it wouldn't be a good thing." I don't know if my father's body has only recovered a little, what do you want to explain to me, and I also called Qi Ao together, and it is not good news to guess the past.
Qi Ao's expression was as usual: "Master's heart is like a mirror, you will know when you go." ”
When he entered the house, his father sat on the floor, and his haggard face finally had a little more blood, so that it would not be so pale as to be terrible. Seeing the two of us coming, he smiled, and seemed to have a good heart, and finally he didn't breathe much when he spoke.
"Xi'er, come and sit down. Ao'er, you sit down together. ”
This opening statement is a little cautious, I picked up a heart and sat down at the table, my heart raised my throat, isn't it that my father found out about tracking down Emperor Qi, and I want to ask the teacher for guilt? I clearly explained to the people in the house with Qi Ao, and I was not allowed to reveal the slightest rumor outside.
"My father called you over this time to talk about Xi'er's marriage."
When I was almost fifteen years old, my father, who had been so busy all day that he couldn't see anyone, finally realized that I hadn't married yet.
I was confused and blurted out: "Dad wants me to marry? ”
It's a matter of time before I get married, so why do you choose to mention it at this juncture? Or in front of the pride, no matter how I say that I am also a daughter's family, is it inappropriate for my father to choose such an occasion? The most important thing is that I haven't had time to mention Li Xuan to my father.
I stabilized my mind and said angrily: "My marriage father told me in private, why bother in front of the pride that the daughter seems to be difficult to marry. ”
Dad looked at me, and then looked at Qi Ao, Qi Ao was calmer than me, there was no extra table (love qíng), it seemed that he had no opinion on what Dad said, and listened patiently.
"Since my father was injured, I have thought about it a lot. In the past, my father was selfish, and he wanted to keep you by my side for a few more years, grinding your spleen, so that your future in-laws would not dislike you, and you would suffer less grievances. At the moment, it seems that it has delayed you. ”
"You might as well take advantage of this time to handle your marriage well, and find a wishful husband for you, so that your father can entrust you with peace of mind, and your mother will be very pleased if she knows about it."
I laughed: "Listening to my father's meaning, he dislikes me for not being able to get married, and wants to learn from the shops on the street to discount and clear the warehouse, so that my future in-laws will be cheaper." Dad still remembers, when I was a child, you said that you would marry me to a hero in the world. When I'm older, won't my father count this? ”
It's not so simple for my dad to push me far away, but my kung fu is first-class: "My daughter doesn't want to get married so early, and she wants to stay with her dad for a few more years." ”
"It's because your father spoiled you and developed this sharp tooth problem, at your age, any girl in Qinzhou should have a child. Do you still think of yourself as a three-year-old child? ”
When my father talked to me so kindly, I knew that he hadn't heard me do those foolish things, and I heard him sigh with emotion: "If your mother is still alive, I should blame me for not raising you properly, blame me for not caring about your marriage, she (sex xìng) is soft, and she will definitely cry when she sees you wronged." ”
Dad Jin (日rì) is weird, keep mentioning Niang, maybe seriously injured in (body shēn) sanity is a little more fragile, I followed his words and said: "If Dad hurriedly marries me to someone I don't like, Dad really has to blame Dad for not care." ”
I originally wanted to dispel the idea of my father choosing a son-in-law, but he understood another point.
"Oh—for the Father, listen to you, do you have someone you like? Which young talent is it, let's talk to my father. ”
His old man teased that he didn't tighten a word, and his arrogant face was tense, and his face was very ugly, he probably felt very uncomfortable staying here and listening to our father and daughter say some useless words.
I was sloppy, this is not a good time to talk about Li Xuan, it was really my own father, who caught me off guard.
"How can my daughter have a sweetheart, Dad, you are too worried."
Although I often run out of the house to play and make some friends, there are only a few who can play in one place, and my father generally knows that I am far away from the knack of men and women, after all, I always look naughty that I haven't fooled around enough.
"A year or two ago, a matchmaker came to the door to propose marriage, and asked you for your father, you said that you are young and don't want to marry so early, two years have passed, this reason doesn't make sense, you should always grow up, so as to save worry for your father. Arranged for the Father's Meeting, the matter was decided. ”
Me: "......"
was put on the spot by my father, and I immediately lost my part in speaking. Isn't it wrong for me not to want to get married early?
Dad blocked my words, and then asked Qi Ao: "Ao'er, what do you think about choosing a son-in-law for Xi'er?" ”
Dad asked, what can Qi Ao think, the person who married me is not him, what does it have to do with him? Qi Ao was stunned for a moment and did not answer. He seemed to be unwell, and his face was even more ugly than just now.
"Although I want to leave you in the friendship with your mother, you have grown up with Xi'er over the years, like a brother, you are calm and thoughtful, and her marriage is entrusted to you, I am very relieved."
The sip of tea I drank was stuck in my throat, and my father was embarrassed for me or Qi Ao: "Dad, it doesn't matter if it's easy for you to let go, Qi Ao himself hasn't married yet, isn't it too child's play for you to let him do my marriage?" ”
Dad glared at me, and I shut my mouth in amusement and laughed dryly.
So I was kicked out by my father like this, but it was Qi Ao, who actually left him behind and explained a lot of details about choosing a son-in-law for me, it seems that he wanted Qi Ao to play the role of my brother. The future emperor of the southern kingdom will arrange the marriage for me ((cāo)cāo), and it is still a very face-saving thing to think about.
Dad is determined to do something, and he can't refuse, even my precious daughter can't touch his mind. As soon as the news that the Qin Mansion was going to recruit a son-in-law was released, the matchmaker immediately broke through the threshold, but all matchmakers who were a little famous wanted to pull this red line for me. With my (身shēn) position, if this order is completed, this is the most powerful first-class matchmaker in Qinzhou City, and it is a good deal with all profits.
Dozens of hundreds of portraits and life histories of young and middle-aged men flew in like snowflakes, piled up in my Xi Garden, how high they were, the maids waiting in the Xi Garden were at the age of Si (Chun chūn), I didn't care, but they were more attentive than me, and read them to me one by one like reading books, Zhao Qiansun, Li Zhou, Wu Zhengwang, and the chatter was endless.
Every time they chose someone who was good-looking and a little talented, they would smile and show me a few portraits with a portrait, as if they were choosing a man by themselves. I don't know where they got such good interest, but just a glance at it.
A few of them are about the same age as me, immersed in the two beautiful faces of Qi Ao and Dugu Hao, and ordinary people can't look down on them: "These portraits of slaves and maids have seen a lot, and they feel more and more that compared with Young Master Dugu and our Young Master Qi, they are like pheasants and phoenixes, which are really not in the same gear." ”
Another responded, "Isn't it?" It's just a heaven and a low, the difference between clouds and mud. ”
A few people joked about me without skin and face: "The master asked Young Master Qi to help ((cāo)cāo) to handle Miss's marriage, it seems that he doesn't plan to let Miss marry Young Master Qi, according to the slave maid, Young Master Qi is good, but (sex xìng) is colder, it is not as kind as Young Master Dugu, Young Master Dugu has been sticking to Miss since he was a child, and Miss is not the slightest bit tempted?" ”
"It's good for the young lady to marry the young master Dugu, she knows the roots, and she will never let her mother-in-law's family bully her."
"It's just—"
I listened to a few of them chewing their tongues, and sneered twice from the bottom of my heart, Miss Ben is going to get married, they are so happy, is it because my master does not exist?
I Shi Shiran opened the golden mouth, and smiled brighter than the flowers in the garden: "Catch up with Ming'er, I will ask my father to find you a good family to marry, preferably a family of cousins, so that you can still get together and have a short family in the east and the west, what do you say?" ”
Then a group of people were scattered as birds and beasts, and their ears were purified.
What do you mean that I have no better choice than Dugu Hao? There is not only Dugu Hao left in the world, an unmarried man. That's because they don't know that there is already a person in my heart who has taken root and can't move his seat.
Li Xuan, Li Xuan, will you hear the news that I am going to get married in Yunju? If you heard, would you be half worried that I would marry someone else? Do you know that when my father mentions my marriage, I want you to be by my side, so that I can introduce you to my father with joy, and tell me that my father will have your care in the future, and I will be the happiest woman in this world.
