Chapter Ninety-Six: The Lake God
"On the one hand, my brother's resentment, on the other hand, my father's expectations, and my mother's anguish as she watched the father and son grow apart, I couldn't help but wonder if I was the source of hope or destruction. So I made the same choice as you, wandering the rivers and lakes, until I met you, and I was finally no longer alone. β
Sister Yan buried half of her face in his chest, "It turns out that we are all cowards. β
"yes. β
People obviously have a lot of things, but they always want other things, and even regard these as more important than what they already have, and eventually become obsessions, unable to get out, and only love can make up for love.
Xie Yuan was by the window, looking at all this, there was a feeling that his beloved thing was snatched away before he could cover it, this person didn't know the details, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.
When Yan'er was young, she wore two pigtails, wore a red jacket, hugged her legs, and said "Daddy, Daddy" sweetly, which almost melted people's hearts, and in a blink of an eye, she was already an assertive girl.
Lunch is naturally gathered together, but unfortunately there is no atmosphere of pushing cups and changing lamps at all, but it is still harmonious.
After the meal, Xie Yuan called Sister Yan, who had already calmed down at this time and followed him back to the room.
"You sit first" Xie Yuan was obviously still a little at a loss, and he lost the demeanor of an elder in front of outsiders.
I saw him personally take out a few boxes from the cabinet, and hugged him carefully, "I have prepared a gift for you, see if you like it or not." β
Seeing that she didn't mean to open it, she rubbed her hands twice, like a flattering petty official who offered treasure to her superiors, but her sister couldn't laugh.
I saw the largest box, with a red neon dress, the color of the morning glow at the strongest, the most exquisite embroidery, and the precious texture.
"Since you were a child, you have liked red the most, and when I saw this scarlet cloud in Shangguo, I knew that only when you wear it, it is the most beautiful. β
Sister Yan's voice was as cold as the white clothes on her body, "Don't you know that I didn't like red many years ago?"
Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "If you don't like it, you don't like it, look at this, your favorite crescent candy when you were a child, it's a pity that you changed your teeth early, you can't eat more, you were hungry at the time." β
In a slightly smaller box, a chill hits you as soon as you open it, and it is a crystal clear crescent-shaped candy that has been preserved with cold ice.
Do you still think that I can be deceived by a candy when I was a child, looking at him and wanting to open the rest of the box, "I don't like candy anymore, you don't have to waste your mind anymore." β
"Yan'er, alas, it's all my fault. β
"Needless to say, what the hell are you looking for me?"
"I have already helped you find several great swordsmen who have retired to the rivers and lakes, you like to study swordsmanship, you can go to ask for advice at will, and achieve your wish as soon as possible. The matter here is not suitable for you, you can hand over the matter of the iron mine to the imperial court, and leave the matter of the person behind it to me, you just have to be free and comfortable, this matter, your seventh brother also agreed, you are obedient, okay?"
It turns out that sugar is still to be exchanged for a price, at ease? Don't listen to other people's voices, make decisions on your own, what kind of freedom is this, "Father, I respect you, so I call you father, why can't you respect me? Back then, you chose to evade again and again, and now you are out of what kind of hero, since I am involved, I will take care of it to the end." β
Xie Yuan turned his back and said fiercely, "The manpower here, Xiao Qi has been handed over to me, the important clues of the Shang Kingdom are all here, without my permission, they will not tell you, Seventeen Eighteen, they are only responsible for protecting your safety, you should leave the west early, stay here, just waste time." β
Sister Yan angrily left her seat, "You, you are too much." β
turned around and wanted to leave, but heard the man say, "I'm free, go back and see your mother, after all, she stays in Su Yue's old mansion alone." β
Sister Yan was almost angry, if it weren't for her father, she would have been unable to help but do it, "What are you telling me now? What did you do more than ten years ago, you should say this to yourself." β
Xie Yuan was much calmer, "Other people's families have to be separated, the three of us have no worries about food, clothing, and the future, but they have not been reunited for many years, and they can't say that it is evil or fate, but she is my wife, and she will never change, you are my favorite daughter, and this will never change, I just hope you don't punish yourself for other people's mistakes." β
Sister Yan sneered, pulled out her legs and walked out, and when she went out, she heard the people inside sigh slightly, "Actually, I still want to hear you call me 'Daddy'." β
The steps paused, but still walked out, missed, just missed.
Back in the room, my sister picked up the pen and wanted to write a letter to question Xie Ling, but she didn't know where to start, and wanted to ask him why he had to cooperate with his father, but compared with his father, it was obvious that he was more scheming and well-connected. Why, why. Yes, they are all worried about my safety for my good, but, but, who cares?
Xie Yuan called Xie Ming and made arrangements one by one, although Xie Ming was familiar with military books, he had to admit that Jiang was still old and spicy.
Sister Yan was suddenly idle, so she had to follow Hezhou out to drink, the wine in the west was really strong, a spicy word from throat to stomach, hot and spicy.
Tian Shen went to find Xie Yuan privately.
Xie Yuan treats each other with tea, and naturally knows what he wants to do.
"Uncle, Tian Shen came to visit rashly, please don't mind. β
"Nothing. β
"The younger generation has something to say, Tianshen understands that she only wants her to be smooth and safe, but this also requires her own willingness, using her own thoughts to arrange other people's lives, this is not love, it is selfishness. Why doesn't Uncle listen to Sister Yan's own thoughts?"
Xie Yuan waved his hand" Young man, I know what you think, I can also see your affection for her, you have similar interests, it is rare, but what you see is only Yan'er's side, and I, as her father, should be the man who knows her best, she looks good at talking, but in fact she is still a little pampered, although she has been in the rivers and lakes for several years, but she is still pure in nature, she thinks she has seen the sinister heart of the people, but she has never experienced the unpredictability of the human heart, I don't want her to experience this, whether you say I am selfish or arbitrary, I have made a decision, and I will not changeγ β
Tian Shen didn't expect to fail to persuade others, but he was almost persuaded, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It seems that the root of Sister Yan's temper is here with you." β
Somehow this pleases Xie Yuan, Xie Yuan smiled and said, "I appreciate your honesty and affection, but I won't recognize you as a son-in-law so easily, my daughter, unparalleled in the world." β
"If you are looking for a son-in-law who is unparalleled in the world, then I will definitely do it, you just wait. β
The time of the day is still fast, the sky is already dark, Sister Yan and Hezhou have been slightly drunk, and when they see the sky sinking, "Why did you come, I've been waiting for you for a long time." β
"I heard that there is a good place here, so I asked for directions, and I will take you there. β
Hearing this, of course He Zhou didn't do it, and took advantage of the wine, "I'm going too, I'm going too, you two don't want to leave me." β
"Take him with you. β
Tian Shen looked at the cheeky guy and had to say, "Okay"
Instructed Xiao Er to wrap a roast chicken and fill a few pots of wine, Tian Shen carried things in one hand and half carried Hezhou on the other, "This guy doesn't have a temperance to drink." β
The three of them staggered, and finally arrived at a place, it turned out to be a lake, countless fireflies flashed and flashed, I didn't expect to see this kind of scene in the west, no girl can resist such a beautiful scenery, especially a girl who is still half drunk, but also release her nature, her eyes are shining.
Only Hezhou muttered a few words, "Isn't it just a bug, what's so beautiful, I thought it was a baby." β
Then he was trampled by his sister Yan, Tianshen held the bag of roast chicken, drank half an afternoon's wine, and Hezhou, who had an empty stomach, was about to grab it, and was beaten again.
Tian Shen opened the paper package and said, "I heard that there is a lake god in this lake, as long as you give him a tribute and make a wish to him, you can fulfill your wish, why don't you try it." β
The indomitable Hezhou pounced again, grabbed a chicken leg and jumped away, "What kind of tribute to make a wish, why don't you give it to me, I'll make it happen for you." β
In fact, this place is Lover's Lake, and I heard that on the night when the fireflies are flying, if a lover comes here to make a wish, he will never be separated.
