Chapter 53: Shi Weitao
This year's New Year, Chu Yulong, they didn't go back to Yizhongtian, mainly because Chu Xiaoyue wanted them to stay. Chu Xiaoyue still loves this grandson of her eldest brother very much, before Chu Yulong and the others went to Ye Feng Academy in a hurry, and they haven't come back for a few years. This year's Chinese New Year, Chu Xiaoyue still hopes to spend time with Chu Yulong.
In fact, Chu Yulong is still a little restrained, after all, although Chu Xiaoyue is his second grandfather, it is the first time for him to celebrate the New Year together, and even the two have not seen each other much. Chu Xiaoyue laughed a few times when she saw this, and she thought it was funny.
This year, Chu Xiaoyue rarely spent a full year with her family, until she left after the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth. According to Chu Xue'er, this is the first time that Chu Xiaoyue has spent the New Year at home for such a long time except for the year when she was an adult.
Lantern lanterns have always been a feature of this day, and people of all kinds come to the streets to enjoy the lanterns on this day. Although some wealthy families have their own lights, how can they compare to the liveliness of the street.
Before Chu Xue'er and the others went out to enjoy the lanterns, Chu Xiaoyue called Chu Xue'er to her book. I don't know what the two of them said, but I just know that Chu Xue'er's originally high interest has become a little gloomy.
"Knock, knock. Shi Yifu gently knocked on Chu Xue'er's door, and after getting permission, pushed the door and entered. The flickering light shone on Chu Xue'er's face, and it was unbelievably beautiful. Shi Yi was a little stupid for a while, forgetting the purpose of his coming, and just stood at the door and looked at Chu Xue'er blankly.
Chu Xue'er also looked up at Shi Yi angrily, tender as water. Both looked at each other like this, without words, but worth a thousand words.
Chu Xue'er knew that Shi Yinu would definitely come back tonight, because Shi Yinu was a man who would never ignore the troubles of his beloved girl. She had prepared a lot of prevarication stones, but at this moment she didn't want to say anything, just to look at him quietly.
Shi Yinu finally spoke: "Xue'er, rest early." "Shi Yifu not only asked Chu Xue'er about her troubles, but anyway, they will bear everything together, isn't it good?
After a night of silence, the hustle and bustle of the Lantern Festival gradually calmed down.
Early in the morning, Shi Yifu was called to Chu Xiaoyue's study, where there were Chu Tian and Chu Kong. Chu Tian was still calm, but Chu Kong had an angry look on his face.
"Did Xue'er tell you?" Chu Xiaoyue said slowly.
Cher didn't say anything, but I could tell she was overwhelmed. Shi Yifu paused and continued, "So, what exactly did you tell her?" As he spoke, Shi Yinu's eyes stared at Chu Xiaoyue, as if he wanted to see something from his eyes.
Chu Xiaoyue turned a blind eye to Shi Yi's almost presumptuous behavior, and continued: "Since Xue'er is at a loss, then I will leave the choice of the problem to you." ”
Chu Xiaoyue didn't rush to speak again, as if she was digesting her words in Shi Yi's anger. After a few minutes, he continued, "The last time Cher came back, she told me that she wanted to marry you. Chu Xiaoyue looked at Shi Yi angrily for the first time in this conversation, and said slowly: "But I didn't agree. ”
Chu Xiaoyue said that there was no follow-up here, and Shi Yi angrily pondered Chu Xiaoyue's words a few times before asking, "Why?"
"Because Cher didn't agree to my request. ”
"What request?" Shi Yi's angry voice couldn't help but become heavier, suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart to death, after all, this is Chu Xiaoyue, Chu Xue'er's father.
"I want you and your father to help me take the position of head of the family. But Cher says you don't like power struggles, so she won't say yes. But she is reluctant to leave you, so she has been persuading me and worrying. ”
"That's good. Shi Yi said angrily, a smile on his face.
"Okay?" Chu Xiaoyue seemed to be asking in confusion.
"Yes, that's good. Isn't it nice that Xue'er put me on the same level as you?" Shi Yi said angrily.
"Don't you think Xue'er should drop everything and elope with you?"
"No, I'll be angry that way. Because you are her father, she also has two older brothers. Shi Yi said angrily. In his opinion, Chu Xueer's overwhelmed choice is the best choice, because there are always feelings that can be compared to love.
"I can only agree to half of your conditions. I'm willing to serve you, but my father is my father, and I can't say yes. ”
Chu Xiaoyue looked at the young man in front of her and didn't speak. Shi Yinu also looked at the old man in front of him, waiting for his decision.
I don't know how long it took, it seemed like a second or two, it seemed like a few minutes, a few hours, or even longer. Chu Xiaoyue suddenly laughed, her face full of relief. It made Shi Yi angry and Chu Kong, who didn't speak on the side, confused.
Regarding the doubts of the two, Chu Tian smiled and said, "This is Uncle Wei Tao's idea. Shi Yifu suddenly became enlightened when he heard this, he still knew his father very well.
Sure enough, Chu Xiaoyue opened her mouth and said, "Your father wants to test his daughter-in-law, and I also want to see my son-in-law's conduct, so let's be embarrassed." Chu Xiaoyue also knew that she was not doing this properly, so she smiled self-deprecatingly.
Only then did Chu Kong react that this was just a test, originally he really thought that Chu Xiaoyue was going to use Chu Xue'er's marriage to pull Shi Weitao and Shi Yifu into his camp, and quarreled with his father and brother more than once for this. Even he came up with the idea of persuading Chu Xue'er to elope with Shi Yifu.
The door of the "Peng" room was suddenly pushed open, and Chu Xue'er walked in and looked at her father with an angry face. Chu Xiaoyue knew that she was wrong, laughed a few times, and said to the woman behind Chu Xue'er: "Gillian, you take Xue'er first.........."
Without waiting for Chu Xiaoyue to finish speaking, Chu Xue'er shouted directly: "Father." "On weekdays, Chu Xue'er has always respected her father, but this time Chu Xue'er has been embarrassed for a long time, and even has the will to die, so she is a little presumptuous in a hurry.
Chu Xiaoyue has always doted on Chu Xue'er, but now she has no choice but to look at the woman he called Gillian with the eyes of help. Unexpectedly, the woman said directly: "Solve the trouble you caused by yourself." In desperation, the two sons had to hint with their eyes.
Chu Kong didn't know if he really didn't understand or was dissatisfied with this, so he said directly: "Father, are your eyes uncomfortable?" It was Chu Tian who was exquisite, touched Chu Kong slightly behind him, signaled him not to speak, and said to the woman behind Chu Xue'er: "Mother, you and Xue'er go to rest, we have something to say with Yifu." ”
That's right, that woman is Chu Xiaoyue's wife, Chu Xue'er's mother. Today, Chu Xiaoyue told her to bring Chu Xue'er to the door of the book, but she didn't tell her what it was. After listening to it at the door for a while, she also knew the general situation of the matter, and she had always been hiding it from Chu Xiaoyue, and she was angry in her heart at this moment, how could she cooperate to take Chu Xue'er away.
