Chapter 41: Arranging a Marriage
Xuan Mi was about forty years old, with a baby face, tall and strong, like a majestic mountain, exuding majesty.
He was chatting with a pleasing face, with the corners of his mouth upturned and a smile on his face.
When Xuanmi saw Xuanni walking in, she quickly gave her a glance, and then said softly, "Nier, where did you go?" I couldn't find you in the earthquake just now, and I was about to die! ”
Xuanni didn't appreciate it, she snorted coldly: "Father, don't pull the topic away, I heard what you said just now!" You're going to marry me off to someone you don't know without my consent! ”
Xuan Mi was stunned, he knew that the paper couldn't hold the fire, so he had to sigh and say with a doting tone: "Nier, you are fifteen years old, and you are not too young, it's time to find a good family." Didn't my father care for you, so he arranged this for you?
Besides, if you don't know it now, you can also meet it and get married.
You see, I always look talented, I heard that his son is also very handsome, and he is already a local general at the age of seventeen. He's a pretty good young man. ”
Xuan Mi pointed at Xuan, trying to convince Xuanni.
Po Tan smiled kindly: "Xuanni, don't you know Uncle Po?" I held you when you were a baby.
My son is quite experienced, and you have seen it, maybe too much time has passed, and I have forgotten it. Another day, Uncle Po will find a chance to meet you. ”
Xuan Ni quickly and politely said, "Uncle Po is good", and then she continued to look at Xuan Mi and said, "Anyway, I don't agree!" ”
Xuan Mi saw that it was not good, and Xuan Ni's attitude made him lose face in front of outsiders, so he straightened his face and said sternly: "I am your father, if you don't agree, you have to agree!" ”
Xuanni didn't expect her father, who had been accommodating to her in the past, to be so authoritarian.
She bit her silver teeth, and seemed to have made up her mind, she pulled Shi Lihu behind her to the front, stood side by side with her, and said loudly: "I don't agree!" I already have someone I like! ”
When Shi Lihu heard this, his body was extremely stiff, he didn't expect Xuanni to say such a thing, so he was completely stunned.
Only then did Xuan Mi notice Shi Lihu's existence, and when he saw Shi Lihu wearing the clothes of an ordinary worker and his cramped and uneasy expression, he knew that Shi Lihu's background was not good.
He angrily reprimanded: "Don't think that you can perfunctory me by finding someone on the road!" ”
Xuanni smiled angrily: "Brother Lihu is my savior, I almost died in the earthquake just now, he saved me!"
You, as my father, don't save me, and you still have the leisure to discuss my marriage here!
If it weren't for Brother Lihu, I would have died a long time ago!
I just like Brother Lihu, don't marry someone else! ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Xuan Mi's eyes, but he was even more angry, he slapped the table hard, and said angrily: "Nonsense! Just because someone saved you, you have to make a promise?
You actually believe in this kind of thing that only happens in stories?
Xuanni, are you stupid? ”
"I'm just stupid! It's better than being sold by your father and having to count your money. ”
Xuanni said angrily.
"Yes, you! The wings are stiff, aren't they? You dare not listen to me! Dare me to love that my education for so many years has been in vain! ”
Xuan Mi was angry for a while.
Seeing the tension at the scene, Po Tan gently persuaded him: "Sect Master, you two are still angry, let's talk about it when you calm down." We can talk about that later. ”
Xuan Mi shook his head helplessly, and said to Po: "I'm sorry to make you laugh." You go back first, and I'll look for you later. ”
"Okay, then I'll take my leave."
He walked out, and before leaving, he swept Shi Lihu with a meaningful look in his eyes, as if to write down his appearance.
Xuanni and Shi Lihu glanced at each other, with some guilt in her eyes, she dragged Shi Lihu into the water in order to oppose the family affairs arranged for her by her father.
She knew that she was more grateful to Shi Lihu, and she didn't have that kind of relationship between men and women.
However, in Shi Lihu's eyes, her eyes were a kind of love for him. He had fallen in love with Xuanni at first sight, and when he heard her say that he liked himself too, the joy in his heart could not be concealed.
There is only one tricky question left, Xuanni is the daughter of the sect master, and his background is so ordinary, which is too wronged for her.
Xuan Mi said coldly: "Now that there is no one else, shouldn't you tell me the truth?" ”
Xuanni's eyes rolled quickly, she knew that Xuanmi was a very stubborn person, and he would not give up on arranging her marriage.
"That's what I said just now, I want to marry the person I like, and the marriage you arranged can be postponed."
Xuanni said forcefully, although her babydoll voice gave this toughness a touch of cuteness, but Xuanmi knew that she was not joking.
He's a stubborn person, and so is Xuanni.
Xuan Mi cast his eyes on Shi Lihu, and there was a hint of majesty in his voice.
"First of all, thank you for saving the little girl's life. I will be rewarded!
Secondly, you don't have to take what the little girl said to heart. She was just not satisfied with my marriage arrangement, and she said nonsense in a hurry. ”
Xuanni's eyes widened, and she protested: "Father, don't use your usual tricks to intimidate Brother Lihu!" He's my lifesaver! ”
At this time, Shi Lihu raised his head, looked at Xuan Mi, and said firmly: "Sect Master, I know that Xuan Ni's identity is noble, and I am not worthy of her.
However, the two of us truly love each other, please fulfill us!
I will definitely make good money in the future, improve my strength as soon as possible, and let Xuanni live a good life! ”
Hearing this, Xuanni was startled and instantly stunned.
Brother Lihu is helping her to say such a thing, right?
"Smack!"
Xuan Mi stared at Shi Lihu with an awe-inspiring face, his eyes became sharp, he slapped the table suddenly, and said angrily: "It's up to you? What power do you have to give my daughter happiness?
Don't talk in your dreams!
For the sake of you saving the little girl's life, I don't care about you.
After you've received your payment, leave quickly, and never see Xuanni again! ”
The expression on Shi Lihu's face was extremely resolute, he took a step forward, and said without humility or arrogance: "Sect Master, I don't want any reward!"
I know I can't give Xuanni happiness now, but please give me two years, and I will definitely make a difference! ”
Seeing Shi Lihu's serious look, Xuanni was a little flustered, which was beyond her expectations.
She hurriedly pulled his sleeve and said softly, "Brother Lihu, don't talk anymore, this will anger my father." ”
After that, she looked at Xuan Mi and said loudly: "Father, I will speak thoroughly today, and I will not accept the messy marriage you arranged for me." That's it, I went out first! ”
Seeing Xuan Mi standing up with an angry face, Xuanni hurriedly pulled Shi Lihu and walked out to the door.
