Chapter 10: Marriage
Chu Yunxi was afraid that his father would speak too directly and offend King Yingchuan, and if there was something in the Chu family in the future, there would be no one to help.
Manhe got permission, and went happily and went to the front to spy on him.
Shui Cui originally wanted to go, but it was difficult to peek at the crowd, so he had to stay and accompany Chu Yunxi and the others to come back.
Manhe came back not slowly, he came all the way away, and said happily: "Miss, the lord and the prince are chatting, and they are talking very happily, some are talking and laughing." ”
When Chu Yunxi heard this, he said strangely: "Really have a good conversation?" ”
"That's right." Manhe nodded and said, "It seems that the lord is very optimistic about the prince, young lady, you can rest assured." ”
Chu Yunxi was a little confused, it stands to reason that Chu Jiutang has been prejudiced against King Yingchuan for a long time, and Chu Jiutang is not a person who can pretend, how can he have a good conversation with Li Mu?
Just some time ago, for the matter of the northern garrison, Chu Jiutang also had some small disputes with Li Mu, and the two had different opinions, and finally the emperor adopted Li Mu's opinion, which made Chu Jiutang quite dissatisfied, and felt that the emperor was messing around with Li Mu.
Chu Yunxi thought that when his father and Li Mu met this time, something unpleasant would happen, but they didn't expect to have a good conversation.
Manhe said very affirmatively: "It's really a good conversation, young lady, you can put a hundred and twenty hearts, the lord likes the appearance of the prince very much, maybe he has already seen it as half an aunt." ”
Manhe said and grinned, Chu Yunxi glanced at her sideways, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, be careful that others hear, I don't know how to arrange you." ”
Manhe hurriedly admitted his mistake and said, "Yes, Miss, I was wrong." ”
Shui Cui said: "Miss, why don't you let me explore again, maybe it is Manhe who doesn't care about her." ”
Chu Yunxi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't go and see, it's okay." ”
Shui Cui couldn't play, so she had to agree.
As soon as their words fell, a little maid hurriedly walked in and said, "Miss, my lord, please come over." ”
Chu Yunxi said: "Call me over?" ”
"Yes." The little maid said.
Manhe hurriedly asked, "Where is the prince, are you leaving?" How to call the lady over at this time. ”
The little maid replied: "The prince has already left, saying that someone in the palace has come to bring a message, and asked the prince to enter the palace quickly, so he left in a hurry." ”
When Shui Cui heard this, he said, "The prince will leave so soon." ”
Over there, Chu Jiutang sent away Li Mu, the king of Yingchuan, and asked the maid to come to Chu Yunxi, saying that he had something to talk to Chu Yunxi.
Chu Yunxi agreed, left Manhe and Shui Cui in the courtyard, and followed the little maid alone.
Chu Jiutang was in his courtyard at this time, he still looked dusty, he saw King Yingchuan as soon as he came back just now, and now that King Yingchuan was leaving, he didn't have time to change and rest, so he called Chu Yunxi first.
Chu Yunxi felt that it was estimated that it was an urgent matter, and it should be said that the Shen family regretted the marriage.
Chu Yunxi walked in in and said, "Daddy, are you looking for me?" ”
Chu Jiutang nodded, his face showed some embarrassment, asked Chu Yunxi to sit down, and said, "Xi'er, this matter was not supposed to be said for the father, but your mother hasn't come back yet, so ......"
When Chu Yunxi heard him speak, he was even more sure that eight or nine would not leave ten, it should be the matter of the Shen family's repentance of marriage.
Chu Yunxi said: "What's the matter, Daddy, please tell me directly." ”
Chu Jiutang said: "The Shen family is arrogant and rude, bullying me No one in the Chu family, and humiliating my daughter in public like this, this family decision cannot be continued......"
Chu Jiutang was halfway through speaking, and couldn't help but look at Chu Yunxi, his eyes full of worry. After all, Chu Yunxi was fascinated by Shen Haobo in the past, and he couldn't extricate himself from Shen Haobo's love. Chu Jiutang was afraid that his words would hurt his daughter's heart.
Chu Yunxi immediately said: "What Daddy said is that my daughter thinks so too, but Daddy and Mother are not in the house, and my daughter doesn't dare to make assertions, so I have to drag it out these days and do nothing." ”
Chu Jiutang was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect Chu Yunxi to echo him, and he thought that his daughter would have to cry sadly.
"Xi'er, don't be sad." Chu Jiutang thought about it, I was afraid that his daughter was too sad, and he didn't want to worry about himself and her mother, so he pretended to be fine.
Chu Jiutang comforted and said: "That Shen Haobo is just a dignified appearance, he can't carry his hands on his shoulders, he has no merit on his body, and he has never been on the battlefield, so he has some friendship with the emperor with those two pieces of mouth, and he will show off his power in the capital, and sooner or later he will fall to the bottom." If you want your father, don't marry him. ”
When Chu Yunxi heard Chu Jiutang say this, he knew that he was not at ease, so he affirmed it again and again, nodded and said, "What Daddy said is exact, my daughter has thought about it carefully, and this is indeed the case." ”
"If only you could figure it out." Chu Jiutang was quite relieved, but there was a look of embarrassment on his face, and it seemed that he still had something to say to Chu Yunxi.
Chu Yunxi said, "Daddy, I'm afraid there is something else." ”
Chu Jiutang nodded in embarrassment and said, "It's indeed a little, it's the matter of the King of Yingchuan." ”
"What's wrong with the prince?" Chu Yunxi was a little worried, and said, "Daddy has had some dispute with the prince. ”
"No, no, there is no dispute." Chu Jiutang said: "It was the prince who proposed marriage to me just now, and he wanted to carry a sedan chair to marry you into the door, and he had already made it very clear." ”
When Chu Yunxi heard this, this Li Mu was really determined to marry him, I am afraid that he really fell in love with the power of the Chu family and wanted to spare no effort.
Chu Jiutang said: "There was just such a thing as Shen Haobo, Daddy shouldn't have said this so quickly." However, Xi'er, the king of Yingchuan is indeed a character, with a dignified appearance, a high position, and a heavy army, and he is also the emperor's own uncle, all of which are one in a million. ”
Chu Yunxi was taken aback, she thought that Chu Jiutang and Li Mu were wrong, but how did she know that her father suddenly became a lobbyist, and what he said was Li Mu's good words.
Chu Yunxi was a little confused, and said, "Dad, you are ......"
Chu Jiutang sighed and said, "Dad is not forcing you, Dad also wants you to marry someone you like, but Shen Haobo is indeed not a good son-in-law, besides, Shen Haobo already has someone else in his heart, and you will be wronged if you marry in the past." King Yingchuan doesn't have a concubine at the moment, and there is not even a concubine in the mansion, I don't know how many times stronger than Shen Haobo. In the future, the prince is also limitless, if you are willing to follow the king of Yingchuan, it is probably the best decision. ”
Chu Jiutang said a lot in one breath, praising Li Mu as if there was nothing in the sky or in the earth, but he was confused about what Chu Yunxi said.
Chu Jiutang saw that Chu Yunxi was silent, and thought that she was thinking of Shen Haobo in her heart, and she couldn't tolerate Li Mu, the king of Yingchuan, so she was relieved: "Xi'er, Dad is not forcing you, it's just that Dad is a person who has come over, and he can finally see it clearly, so it's all for your good." Lord Wang, you think about it, don't be busy refusing, is it done? ”
Chu Jiutang loves his daughter very much, after all, he and his wife are such a precious only daughter, although they are quite strict in discipline on weekdays, but when there is really something, they are reluctant to let their daughter cry sadly.
The matter of marriage, but it is a matter of the next life, especially for his daughter's family, so Chu Jiutang is not easy to say too hard, I only hope that Chu Yunxi can understand his hard work.
Over there, Chu Jiutang didn't know how to speak, he had already said so much, the words in his stomach were already empty, and he couldn't think of anything else to praise the prince.
Chu Yunxi said briskly: "Daddy doesn't need to say much, my daughter knows that my father's intentions are good, and my daughter just agrees." ”
"Xi'er, you ......"
Chu Jiutang subconsciously, he thought that Chu Yunxi would refuse, and thought about how to persuade and persuade again, but he was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said, "Xi'er, what did you just say?" But agreed? Dad's ears are useless. ”
Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "Dad, you heard it right, my daughter agreed, and she promised to marry King Yingchuan." ”
"This ......" Chu Jiutang was still unbelievable, the fear of danger on the battlefield was gone, and he couldn't react for a long time, and he didn't expect his daughter to agree to the marriage with Li Mu so happily.
Chu Yunxi said: "My daughter also saw it clearly. Besides, King Yingchuan is so good and one in a hundred, and his daughter has no reason to refuse. ”
