There was silence in the small flower hall, only Yu Wenhui's low choked voice.

After a long while, Wen An spoke first: "What do you mean by this?" His tone was so sharp that he even omitted the word "sister".

Wen Hui raised her head: "Don't you understand?" That's what it means, I must marry Zhu Jingcheng, otherwise...... No matter who you marry, as long as the slightest rumor reaches his ears, I don't want to have a good life in my life, don't you nagging in my ears all day long, reputation or something? My ears are calloused, I have been literate since I was a child, how can I not understand this truth? Everyone in the world is shallow, and I care most about these vainness that I am no longer careless, and I have suffered for a few months, and I don't want to experience such days again" She cried on the small table.

Jiang Shi was sad when he heard it: "Good Hui'er, no, my mother will not let you suffer like that again, whatever you want, it depends on you......"

Wen An's face originally showed a little sadness, but when he heard his mother say this, he couldn't help but look at her with wide eyes: "Mother, what are you talking about?" My sister is confused, are you also confused? ”

Jiang was stunned, but looking at his daughter, he couldn't bear to talk back.

Wen Yi was so frightened when she heard this, she took a deep breath before she said, "Sixth sister, since you are afraid that the incident will reach your husband's ears in the future, then why do you want to marry the prince of Dongping?" He is a person who knows the truth from the beginning, if he cares about that matter, you don't even have the possibility of marrying him, let alone the palace has other plans now. ”

Wen Hui raised her head, tears on her face: "How is this the same?" If I marry someone else, in the future, that person will know about the events of that day, and although he may dislike me, but with my father's support, he will also take care of his own reputation, and he will never take the initiative to spread the news. What I'm worried about is that the people outside know about it, and gossip will force that person to be cruel to me, but Zhu Jingcheng already knew that he saved me at the beginning, and in the future, the matter will be spread, and he can still say that I married him to repay the grace of saving my life. was originally an ugly thing in the eyes of others, but in the blink of an eye, it can become a good story of heroes saving beauty...... What's more......" her face flushed slightly, dyed a little shy, "When he rescued me, he treated me very caringly and considerately...... I guess it's not without affection for me......"

Wen An said leisurely: "The hero who saves the beauty seems to be the eldest cousin of the Liu family, right?" When did the prince of Dongping save you? He just slapped you in the face and told you to stop going crazy, he can be cheeky and treat himself as a hero, you cooperate closely" Although he fainted that day, he had already heard about it from Liu Dongxing afterwards.

Wen Hui changed color slightly, and her expression was a little unnatural. Wen Yi coughed lightly twice uncomfortably. Wen An reacted at this time, but he couldn't compensate, so he had to blink and turn his head away with some weakness.

Jiang frowned and scolded his youngest son: "What nonsense? The Liu family's brother and your ninth sister have already made a marriage, and besides, he is just a little martial artist, how can he be worthy of your sister? ”

Wen An was a little unhappy when he heard this: "Why is he not worthy of his sister?" I don't think my sister is worthy of him, I heard my grandmother talking to my mother a few days ago, and my grandmother also planned to marry my sister to Brother Mingmin, Brother Mingmin is still a white body, and my mother dislikes Brother Xing'er for being a martial artist" and then he shouted strangely: "Isn't it a hero to save the beauty?" The beauty promises each other, what a good story? Sister, you don't agree? Why is that? Could it be that this hero also wants to pick people? ”

Wen Hui trembled with anger, grabbed a teacup and threw it over: "Are you still not my own brother?" Actually say such things to me off? Jiang Shi hurriedly hugged her to comfort her, and then counted down his son: "Why don't you compensate your sister soon?" Wen An just sneered, his chin raised high. Wen Hui became even more angry when she saw this, crying and complaining to her mother: "Mother, look at Xiao Qi's appearance" Thinking that her younger brother had always been obedient to her in the past, but now she couldn't get along with her everywhere, as if she had completely changed as a person, she was even more aggrieved and cried louder.

Wen Yi didn't care about comfort and persuasion, she was so shocked by Wen An's words that she couldn't say a word. When did Old Madam Yu come up with the idea of marrying Wen Hui Xu to Luo Mingmin? This, this, this...... This is really ridiculous Wen Yi recalled Luo Mingmin's hearty smile, and the warm-blooded heart that always helped her and Liu Dongxing, and then thought of Wen Hui's temperament, and the man who walked with Wen Hui in the woods of Dabaoguo Temple, her heart gradually hardened.

How could she allow a loyal friend like a brother to suffer such a disgrace?

"Those impossible things don't need to be noisy here," she heard herself say, "The key now is that even if the sixth sister makes up her mind, will the prince of Dongping be willing?" In fact, what has happened in the past few days can already make people understand the meaning of the palace, if the prince really has affection for his sister, why let the elders humiliate the Gu family? In fact, the eldest uncle and the eldest aunt love their sister so much, and they will never wronged their sister in marriage, why should my sister insist on going her own way? ”

Jiang Shi, Wen Hui and Wen An listened to her words, and they all turned their eyes around, Wen Hui stopped crying, with a little dazed and panicked on her face, and said with some hesitation: "Don't talk nonsense...... He had affection for me that day...... But because I haven't seen him for half a year, I ...... Inevitably a little cold......" she bit her lip, "that's why I want to see him, why I have to let me see him, talk to him, maybe...... When he sees me, he remembers his old feelings......"

Wen Yi listened, she was angry and funny, and she couldn't help but feel tired in her heart. Wen Hui, how could she be so confident in herself?

Wen An must not have heard it: "Then what if he can't remember?" Or maybe he doesn't have the slightest affection for you at all, I don't think he likes you at all, when he came to Pingyang, Cousin Liu Zhenri said to him how close he is to you, if he is a shameful person, it is impossible to take a fancy to you, if Cousin Liu is like that, he still shows favor to you, this character can't be believed, according to me, you might as well die early."

Jiang Shi also looked at Wen Hui with tears: "Yes, Hui'er, listen to my mother's advice, just forget him." My mother will tell your father to find a good family for you, and to find someone who is decent, capable, has a good family background, and has a good character, and will not abandon you no matter what."

Wen Hui was angry when she heard this: "Mother, are you helping me or am you angry with me?" Didn't you say that whatever I loved? ”

Jiang Shi snorted and whispered: "Even if my mother wants to help you, there is nothing I can do, the princess has slapped us in the face like this, it can be seen that she doesn't want you to marry the prince, the palace is high and powerful, what can we do about it?" ”

Wen Hui pursed her lips: "Then I will go and ask Lijun to help ask Concubine Zheng to come forward, as long as the concubine is willing to help, the saint has made a decree, even if the princess is not happy, it will be in vain."

Wen An disagreed: "Why does the concubine want to help you?" Didn't you listen to Sister Nine? The princess of the palace is the daughter of the Huguo Mansion and the Dongyang Hou Mansion, where can you compare with them? ”

Wen Hui raised her head unconvinced: "I'm more beautiful than them" paused, "Besides, don't you often mention that the Holy Lord is planning to cut the domain?" Then how could he let Zhu Jingcheng marry the daughter of that kind of family? In contrast, I am the best candidate, with a noble background, but not conspicuous, good looks and talents, and the Queen Mother can't fault Uncle Liu has always been favored by the saint, just by his face, the saint will be more optimistic about me"

Wen Yi stared straight at her, only feeling that she was looking at a hopelessly stupid person.

Jiang Shi also felt a little inappropriate when he heard this: "This ...... Can it really be done? I'm afraid that the palace will insist on refusing to ...... In the end, if you don't get married, you become enemies."

Wen Hui snorted coldly: "The holy decree is greater than the sky, how dare the palace disobey the order?" ”

Wen An said coolly: "They don't dare to disobey the order, they just need to obediently marry you, and in March or May, they will poison you to death, report a sudden illness and die, and then they can happily marry the daughter-in-law they like."

Jiang's face changed, and Wen Hui was so angry that she dropped another teacup: "Xiao Qi, what's the matter with you?" I'm your own sister, but you are against me everywhere, where is the clever and caring little Qi before? ”

Wen An sank his face: "As early as when I was scolded by you and left the house, I died at the hands of the bandits"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang and Wen Hui's faces turned white. The latter quickly turned red: "You...... Didn't you say you wouldn't bother me anymore? Is it to coax my ......?"

Jiang Shi hurriedly comforted her a few times, and then looked at his son with complicated eyes: "Xiao Qi, you were also at fault that day, and now that you are safe, don't say that kind of thing again......"

Wen An looked at his mother coldly, and his eyes were slightly red: "Mother really continues to connive at my sister like this?" When she got married, she didn't look forward to the harmony between husband and wife in the future, but she would rather offend people than marry her, what good did this marriage do to her? The son was only worried that if she did, she would end up ...... Not only is it difficult to save her life, but she also has to compensate our whole family, although my mother continues to be confused, it's just that one day, when the sixth sister finally tastes the consequences and can't go back, don't regret it"

After saying this, he turned his head, opened the door and strode out, listening to the footsteps, it seemed to be on the deck, and after a while, the voice of his family came: "Seventh Young Master, it's getting dark, where are you going?" ”

"Long-winded"

Jiang Shi listened uneasily, and wanted to get up to find his son, but his daughter hugged her waist and cried non-stop: "Mother, you listen to Xiao Qi's words, it's so annoying, you must not listen to him" She was so worried: "Your brother's words are also reasonable, you are young and don't know the danger here, how can my mother watch you jump into the fire pit?" ”

"How can that be a fire pit? Mother, don't listen to Xiao Qi, he complains about me in his heart, and he would rather watch his sister suffer than help. Mother, do you want to watch your daughter get married to someone you don't like and be angry for the rest of your life? You just follow me, I will let Zhu Jingcheng like me, even if I really lost my life, I will never regret it......"

Jiang Shi raised his handkerchief to wipe away his tears: "You kid...... It's really an obstacle to my life."

Wen Yi walked out of the small flower hall with a wooden face and closed the door with his backhand. She shouldn't have come here to watch a ridiculous scene, but she was so angry that she couldn't speak, and it was embarrassing for Wen An, a former gentleman, to see it so clearly, so she had to put such a mother and sister on the table

She turned and walked again to the old lady's cabin. This time, even if the old lady slept for a day, she would wait at the door of the room until the other party woke up, she didn't believe it, and no one could stop Wen Hui's rhapsody

A quarter of an hour later, Wen An sat on a small wine stall under the dock, poured a full glass of wine into his mouth, and immediately choked and coughed for a long time, and simply dropped the glass to vent.

When the people around him saw that he was richly dressed, they knew that he had an extraordinary background, and when they saw that he was angry, they didn't dare to touch his tiger beard, so they whispered far away.

Wen An was upset when he heard this, and slapped the table vigorously: "Get out of me if it's noisy" casually took out a handful of silver beads and threw them on the ground, "Reward you, hurry up, return the master to a quiet"

The people at the stalls, all coolies on the docks, saw these silver beads, their eyes straightened, and they snatched them one after another, and scattered in a hurry, but two people paced unhurriedly across the street, looking at them from a distance, and occasionally exchanging a few glances.

Wen An didn't pay attention to it, and only asked the boss to serve good wine. The boss has always only sold inferior rice wine, where to find good wine? I had to send the strongest one up, and said: "This is the best wine here in Xiaoxiao, ordinary people can't drink it, the prince has to take it easy, don't get drunk, you can't even pay for the wine." ”

"Long-winded" Wen An threw a silver bill over, "What good wine?" I can't drink it? Is that enough? ”

"Enough" The boss happily took the silver bill, weighed the weight, rolled his eyes, and saw that the two people on the other side of the street were still staring at this side, he grinned, knew it in his heart, and didn't say anything, just turned around and went to the stove to work hard, and gave Wen An a plate of peanuts and a plate of pig's head meat, and said in his heart: "Son, even if this is a small filial piety to you, it is not in vain that you let the small one make a fortune." Don't come to find small troubles on your Huangquan Road."

Wen An took a sip of the spirits, and suddenly choked on tears and snot, so uncomfortable that he wanted to scold the boss, but he couldn't say a word, so he had to get up hurriedly to pour tea.

At this time, a hand crossed in front of him and handed over a cup of tea, he was busy grabbing the tea and pouring it, and it was easy to take a breath, but suddenly it occurred to him that he didn't even see who handed the tea and drank it. Startled, he hurriedly looked up, was stunned, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "It turned out to be you, Brother Xing...... Why are you here? ”

Liu Dongxing patted him on the shoulder with a smile on his face, and glanced back without a trace, and after a while, the two people on the other side of the street were covered by several big men, and they disappeared without making a sound. The owner of the stall was sweating profusely, and his hands were constantly wiping the stove as if he hadn't seen anything.

Liu Dongxing ignored him, sat down opposite Wen'an, and said with a smile: "I happened to come to Dongping to see an old friend, and I was looking for a boat to return to Beijing, and I didn't want to see you here." How did you get to drink in a place like this? Don't take a closer look at what's going on around you, if someone sees you richly dressed and generous, and robs you to the wilderness? Your family doesn't send someone to follow, so don't worry."

Wen An sneered: "I'm such a big person, can't I live without people?" You also underestimate me too much, I have practiced martial arts for a few years, and a few people can't get close to my family? They are busy coaxing my sixth sister, where can they take care of me? ”

Liu Dongxing smiled: "What's wrong with this?" Who made you angry? He said such sour words. ”

Wen An looked at him sneeringly: "Don't laugh at me, if you know, you won't be able to laugh."

"Oh?" Liu Dongxing blinked, "Then you can tell me about it, maybe...... What else can I give you? ”

(Wen Yi is not an opponent, so she has to ...... Close the door and let the willow go east)
