Chapter 12: The Giving of Marriage
A marriage contract was made at this grand feast. It seems to be a whim of the emperor, but those who have a heart can clearly see the subtleties in this marriage. The momentum of Shangguan's burning cooking oil is probably just around the corner.
Jing Chen was extremely annoyed and chased after Yin Jingyu and shouted angrily: "This is the good thing you said? ”
"Isn't it?" Yin Jingyu was unusually calm.
"Have you asked her if she is willing, this is a sheep in the mouth of a tiger." Yin Jingyu couldn't bear to look at her face that was flushed with anger, but who had room to turn around at this point.
He sighed: "Chen'er, our identity is envied by ordinary people, but how can those people know how much we live involuntarily. "In the face of rights and interests, we have to live on thin ice, do you know how much I envy those who can live freely......"
Jing Chen: "Then you can sacrifice other people's happiness for the sake of interests, Dong Yulin, he is no longer the same person he used to be, and you launched a Shangguan family in order to prevent the Dong family from joining forces with the emperor's uncle?" ”
"But, how can Ying'er fight against Dong Yulin, fight against Yin Jingning, Dong Yulin will not be at your mercy, in the end it is Shangguan Ying who suffers."
Hearing her say this, Yin Jingyu snorted and laughed: "Do you think Dong Yulin really likes Ning'er?" If it weren't for the Dong family's intention this time, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly. ”
Jing Chen's eyes widened in disbelief. "Chen'er, let me say something you don't like to hear, why do you think your father agreed to you and Shangguan Jun in the first place."
"If it weren't for the background behind Shangguan Jun, you thought that if you chased him to Pingcheng, even if you were looking for death and looking for life, your father would not agree, what about Shangguan Jun? He is also a man who understands. It's not that you don't understand these truths, I'm afraid you don't want to understand them. ”
Jing Chen looked at his brother and was speechless. Sitting on the ground......
Wutong wanted to help her up, but was coldly reprimanded by her. Wutong was anxious to shed tears, and he didn't dare to step forward, so he could only stand aside and accompany him. Yin Jingyu knew that he was serious, how much he didn't want to pull this innocent sister out of the fantasy happiness. However, it won't do her any good if she keeps deceiving herself.
He didn't know how sincere Shangguan Jun was for her. How many people can understand Shangguan Jun's thoughts? He never forms a party for personal gain, is decent, and always has a face that rejects people thousands of miles away. He was quite appreciative of the right-hand man beside his father. He woke up Jing Chen at this time to make her understand that even if she fell in love with Guan Jun again, she had to be calm. Because he didn't want her to get hurt.
Jing Chen sat for a long, long time, until she felt a trace of coldness sink into her bone marrow.....
After the day of Wanshou Day, Shangguan Ying lived back in Shangguan's mansion in Shangjing. This mansion was originally purchased by the Shangguan family for Shangguan Jun and Yin Jingchen to marry, but after they became married, the emperor gave them a new mansion. The house has been empty ever since. Because of this birthday banquet, Shangguan Xiongji and his party temporarily lived here. Jing Chen also came to this mansion for the first time. The design of the courtyard and the greenery are still designed according to Shangguan Jun's preferences. As soon as Jing Chen entered, he saw people coming in and out, busy carrying luggage. She was puzzled. Shangguan Han saw Jing Chen come in with the girl Wutong and hurriedly invited her into the inner hall and ordered someone to prepare tea.
"Second brother, what are you doing here?"
"My father is going to move to the Salt Division Bureau in the next few days, and we will return to Pingcheng in two days, so we will take care of our luggage in advance."
"Won't the second brother come with us?"
"Liren and I, my aunt will go first."
"Don't worry about the second sister-in-law."
Shangguan Han smiled and did not deny it: "In the past few days, the letter said that the joy is so bad that I can't eat, which makes my grandmother and mother also worried." Besides, Ying'er's marriage should also be prepared at home. ”
"Is the date set?"
Shangguan Han shook his head and said, "Prince Dong and his father are discussing. ”
While the two were talking, Shangguan Jun walked in. Sycamore saluted her. He nodded and glanced at Jing Chen. Shangguan Han walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll go out and have a look first, and you can pay Jingchen to talk." ”
Sycamore also went out, and she was the only one left in the house. Shangguan Jun didn't speak, picked up the tea bowl and took a few sips of tea. Jing Chen broke the silence and asked cautiously, "What about Ying'er?" ”
Shangguan Jun didn't look at her and lowered her head to fiddle with the tea set beside her, and said calmly, "I've gone to Dong's Mansion."
Jing Chen exploded: "Don't worry? He looked up at her, who blushed because he didn't know if he was in a hurry or because he was angry. The corners of the mouth are slightly hooked. She was still worried about Ying'er.
"Li Xingyun followed." Only then did she feel relieved. After a long time, "Shangguan Jun: Do you agree to this marriage?" Shangguan Jun was slightly stunned.
"What agreement have you reached with Dong Yulin, you are just this one sister...... My royal brother said that people like us are in the interests of the present...... I want to ask you, did you save it when you married me...... Something else....."
Shangguan Jun became more and more choked when he heard her words, so that he couldn't cry anymore. His heart also became uncomfortable, and his heart ached slightly. I don't know if it's for Shangguan Ying, or because of Yin Jingchen's words, which pierced my heart. He was stunned. was at a loss, neither replying to Jing Chen's words, nor comforting her. He knew he was supposed to do something about it. Wiping her tears, hugging her, coaxing her. But he just didn't do that, just looked at her like that, and his thoughts drifted away.
The atmosphere was at an awkward moment, and Shangguan Ying returned. When Shangguan Ying came in, he also smelled a strange atmosphere. Shangguan Jun silently picked up the tea bowl, and Jing Chen was hiding a handkerchief. It's just that the crying red eyes in the eye with Shangguan Ying leaked everything.
Shangguan Ying took Jing Chen's hand to break the embarrassing atmosphere: "Third sister-in-law, you are here." Not going back tonight? ”
"Yes," Jing Chen nodded.
"Great, third sister-in-law, I'll sleep with you tonight, okay." Jing Chen smiled and nodded when she saw her coquettish. That night, the two sisters-in-law were lying on the same bed. Jing Chen asked Shangguan Ying: "When you see Dong Yulin, did he embarrass you?" Shangguan Ying shook her head.
Early this morning, she and her aunt were taken to the Dong Mansion by the Dong family's sedan chair. At first, Dong Yulin was not there, but Princess Dong accompanied her alone and talked a lot to her. Later, because I was too tired, I came out to breathe, and overheard the conversation between Dong Yulin and Yin Jingning.
"Dong Yulin, what do you think of me, I don't believe that you are willing to be at the mercy of a holy decree, why do you agree?" Yin Jingning's words just asked what she was thinking, and at that moment she suddenly had the intention of listening. She didn't know why she didn't leave at that moment. I listened to the corners of other people's walls like that.
"You want me to resist the decree, in front of so many people, our Dong family has long been criticized, do you want the emperor Lao'er to directly punish me?" Yin Jingning was silent.
Then he asked: "Why do you want to join that "Song of Regret". ”
"Even if I don't agree, the emperor has that idea in his heart, and even if I don't agree with him, there is a way."
"Then do you like Shangguan Ying......" Shangguan Ying didn't want to listen to it anymore, and tiptoed away. So the latter words were not heard at all. She really didn't want to hear it anymore, after all, everyone knew her role in this marriage. So she doesn't need to know whether he likes it or not, whether it's true or not.
