Chapter 25 Niu Lao's high opinion
After returning to Yufu, Shi Ziling went back to his room alone to continue cultivating his "soul dementor".
Since waking up from a coma after a battle with Shen Tugang, his spiritual cultivation has made a breakthrough, and now he has successfully entered the realm of the sixth layer, but he has to make rapid progress like when he first practiced, but he feels a little powerless.
No matter how hard he tried, the growth of his spiritual power seemed to be getting slower and slower, and there seemed to be no sign of breaking through again in the short term.
However, Shi Ziling put his mind at ease, with the power of the "Outer Heaven Demon Sound", if his spiritual cultivation continued to advance by leaps and bounds as some time ago, he was very afraid that he would cause accidental damage to his body and even go mad.
The state of extreme thirst and sleepiness in his body after his mental power was exhausted last time, Shi Ziling was still a little afraid when he thought about it. Although there is no great progress now, the foundation is constantly being consolidated, and perhaps this is the right way to progress.
However, Yu Zhengtian, Niu Zhengying and others did not disperse to rest, everyone gathered in Yu Zhengmiao's room to talk about Shiziling.
At today's birthday banquet, Chen Zhongjian's temptation of "deputy general" really surprised them, although Shi Ziling rejected the Chen family's good intentions on the spot, it can be seen that he has been moved by this. And tomorrow he will go to Su Gongzi's banquet.
When the people of the Yu family want to come, they are afraid that there will be people who will continue to buy Shiziling, and in the long run, it will be difficult to ensure that Shiziling is not shaken.
The problem now is that Shi Ziling is just a guard identity of the Yu family, no matter how much the Yu family pays Shi Ziling, those big families will definitely be able to give it, and they can give more. The so-called "people go to higher places", Shi Ziling is so young, it is not easy to keep him for a long time to serve the Yu family.
Everyone in the Yu family talked about it, and they all felt that it was difficult to keep Shi Ziling for a long time to serve the Yu family.
Yu Detian sighed and said: "Our Yu family has finally recruited such a master as Ziling, if he can stay in the Yu family to serve, our Yu family may have a chance to develop and grow into a relatively strong family." ”
"Alas, in recent years, the government has been corrupt, the court has been crumbling, and most of the real masters have been monopolized by those big families. The major families are constantly expanding their power, and even the countryside like our Pan'an feels more and more unpeaceful, maybe one day our Yu family will be eaten by a big family. ”
Yu Zhengmiao and Yu Deping also felt the same way, and nodded again and again on the side.
Niu Zhengying didn't say anything at first, but then coughed lightly and said: "Zhengmiao, Zhengtian, I have always felt that Shiziling's character is very good, I don't think he will leave the Yu family casually." ”
"Of course, I also understand the truth of 'good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose masters and things', Shi Ziling is both young and powerful, and there are some condescending talents who stay in our Yu family. I have an idea, maybe I can let Ziling have room to develop, but also not break off the relationship with our Yu family. ”
Yu Zhengtian and Yu Zhengmiao were all in good spirits when they heard this, and hurriedly asked Niu Zhengying to understand.
Niu Zhengying stroked his beard, a smug smile appeared on his thin old face, and said slowly: "If Shi Ziling becomes the son-in-law of the Yu family, then no matter where he goes to develop in the future, he will always be a member of the Yu family, and he will definitely not care about the safety of the Yu family." ”
Yu Zhengtian patted his thigh and said: "Yes, why didn't I think of it, Ziling has amnesia, he can't remember where his own home is, if he becomes the son-in-law of our Yu family, then our Yu family is his own home." Even if he recovers his memory in the future, he will always be the son-in-law of our Yu family, and the son-in-law is half a son. ”
"Besides, maybe he will already be in the Yu family, and the affairs of our Yu family are also the affairs of Shiziling, and the two are one, sharing honor and disgrace. Wonderful, wonderful, or old cow, you are smart, ha, ha. But there are a lot of girls in our Yu family, who should be allowed to marry a mausoleum?"
Niu Zhengying smiled silently and set his eyes on Yu Zhengmiao.
Seeing this, Yu Zhengtian patted his thigh again and said: "Yes, Yulan's niece just turned eighteen this year, she has nothing to say about her beauty, she has a good character, and she is still a registered disciple of Master Jingxin of Huangshan Shuiyue Nunnery, and she is also a famous teacher." and Shi Ziling are talented and beautiful, a natural pair!"
"Alas, it's a pity that my eldest daughter is only fourteen years old, although she looks good, but she was spoiled by her mother, and she has been rude and willful since she was a child, even if I want to marry her to Ziling, I'm afraid Ziling may not be able to look down on it. Second brother, what do you think?"
Yu Zhengtian asked Yu Zhengmiao eagerly.
Yu Zhengmiao had already listened to it, and Niu Zhengying's idea that Shi Ziling could be the son-in-law of the Yu family was too reasonable. Although he himself has not been in contact with Shi Ziling for a long time, he still admires Shi Ziling's character and martial arts very much. If you can have such a son-in-law, it will be a great thing for both the Yu family and her daughter Yulan.
Looking at the meaning of the eldest brother Yu Zhengtian, if he didn't think that Yulan was the most suitable, he really wanted to marry his fourteen-year-old daughter to Shi Ziling. "This is not a joke, although the eldest brother's daughter is also very good to marry Shi Ziling, but isn't it impossible for me, a ready-made father-in-law, to do it?"
Thinking of this, Yu Zhengmiao hurriedly replied: "I also think Niu Lao's idea is very good, very good! This Shiziling character and martial arts are very good, although he has amnesia, it is not a big deal, of course it can be cured, and it doesn't matter if it can't be cured." Since the eldest brother also said that my magnolia is the most suitable, then it is according to the eldest brother's meaning. Everyone laughed happily.
Several of them discussed it and decided that Niu Zhengying would come forward early tomorrow morning to explore the tone of Shiziling. Niu Zhengying usually has a very good relationship with Shi Ziling, and his status in the Yu family is very high, but after all, he is not surnamed Yu, and if he is rejected by Shi Ziling, it will not be too embarrassing.
After everyone discussed it, they went back to their rooms to rest.
After everyone left, Yu Zhengmiao thought about it alone, although her baby daughter is usually very quiet, she has always been very assertive in her heart. Although Shiziling is very good, I don't know what her daughter will think in her heart. It's good for your parents to decide what your marriage is, but it's also good to listen to your baby daughter's thoughts.
Yu Zhengmiao immediately went to the backyard and went straight to her daughter Yu Yulan's room, at this time Yu Yulan and the maid Xiaohui had just finished practicing, and when they were talking and laughing, they saw Yu Zhengmiao coming in, and the two of them came over to say goodbye.
Yu Zhengmiao looked at her beautiful daughter with a smile, sighed slightly, and said solemnly: "Yulan, there is something I would like to hear your opinion on. ”
Yu Yulan knew that today, her father, uncle, cousin, Shi Ziling and a few others went to Chen Gongzhao's mansion to congratulate him on his birthday, and seeing his serious expression, he hurriedly sat down next to Yu Zhengmiao, and asked with concern: "Dad, did something happen when I went to Lord Chen Gongzhao's mansion to celebrate his birthday today?"
Yu Zhengmiao said with a smile: "The good daughter is really Bingxue smart, and she can guess it, if your brother Yuting is half as smart as you, he won't be able to read well and practice martial arts." ”
The Yu Yuting he said is Yu Yulan's own brother, twenty-five years old, and Yu Zhengmiao is very precious to this son and daughter.
Yu Yulan said with a smile: "Isn't it quite good for my eldest brother to go out to do business in the past few years, and he has also made a lot of money for the Yu family." ”
Yu Zhengmiao shook his head and said: "It's just a matter of making a little money, the main thing is to let him have a little more knowledge outside, and a few shops in Songhu City will be handed over to him in the future." He's a bit talented in business. ”
"That's not very good, eldest brother he is interested in doing business, and he will inherit the family business in the future, and he will definitely make the Yu family's business bigger and bigger. Yu Yulan said.
"But in today's world, if there is no big backer and a strong master to protect you, it is impossible to make a lot of money. ”
Yu Zhengmiao sighed lightly and said: "Although our family is a distant relative of Chen Gongzhao's family, Chen Gongzhao has always been above the top, and has never looked at our Yu family with a straight eye, and we can't find other ways. ”
"Now that there are many thieves outside, and the situation in various places is becoming more and more turbulent, when your eldest brother comes back from the north, I plan to let him watch the shop in the city. His martial arts are so poor, if something happens, it will be a big loss. ”
Yu Yulan hurriedly comforted her father: "Don't worry, the eldest brother is very clever and knows how to adapt to the situation." By the way, don't you have something to say, is there something wrong with the people of the Chen family?"
As soon as Yu Zhengmiao thought of the topic, she didn't feel refreshed, and immediately told her daughter about the temptation of the Chen family throwing the "post of deputy general" to Shiziling today.
Yu Yulan was also a little surprised when she heard this, although she had already heard her family talk about Shi Ziling's escort all the way to the congratulatory gifts, she had repeatedly retreated from strong enemies, showing strong strength, and she also specially asked him for palm skills yesterday, but she still didn't expect that the Chen family, who had never taken the Yu family seriously, would value Shi Ziling so much.
She is the eldest lady of the Yu family, although she rarely intervenes in family affairs, she also understands how precious it is for the future development of the Yu family to have a master of Shi Ziling's level.
Although Shi Ziling rejected the Chen family this time, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be any Zhang family or Wang family to continue to woo him next time, and in the long run, it is difficult to say whether Shi Ziling will leave the Yu family, after all, there are families with better strength and conditions than the Yu family.
Xiao Hui on the side couldn't help but interject: "Shi Gongzi is so capable, there must be many big families outside who want to invite him to go." ”
Yu Zhengmiao knew that Xiaohui had grown up with Yulan since she was a child, and the two were like sisters, so she didn't feel sorry for her interjection, and said with a smile: "Xiaohui is right, the son of Lord Su of the city guard has sent an invitation to Ziling to go to the banquet alone tomorrow, and I think that someone will definitely try to win over Ziling by then." ”
"What's so good?" Xiao Hui said hurriedly, she tugged at Yu Yulan's sleeve, as if she wanted Yu Yulan to help with some ideas.
"I was discussing this matter with my eldest brother and Niu Lao just now, and I also want to hear what good ideas you have for your baby daughter, so isn't this coming? Yu Zhengmiao said.
Yu Yulan saw that her father looked unhurried, and seemed to have made up her mind, she couldn't help but move in her heart, and said lightly: "How can my daughter have any good ideas, the so-called 'people go to high places, water flows to low places', Shi Gongzi is young and promising, and it is inevitable to be dug up by those big families, who makes our Yu family just an ordinary small family." ”
However, Xiaohui was a little anxious, pulled Yu Yulan's arm and said, "Miss, you are so smart, there will definitely be a way, you should think about it." ”
Yu Yulan slapped Xiao Hui's hand lightly, and said angrily: "My sleeves are about to be torn by you, why are you in a hurry, my father and uncle must already have an idea." ”
Yu Zhengmiao smiled and said, "You're still a good daughter, you are smart, a few of us did discuss an idea, I just came to hear what you mean." ”
Yu Yulan's pretty face turned red inexplicably, and said: "Where do I understand these things, what's the use of asking me." ”
Xiao Hui said disagreeingly on the side: "Miss, you have always been very assertive, why don't you care so much about Shi Gongzi's affairs this time." ”
Yu Zhengmiao is also a little strange, although Yu Yulan is dignified and quiet, but she has always been smart and assertive, why does she seem a little indifferent this time, could it be that she has guessed our thoughts?
Yu Zhengmiao hesitated for a moment, and saw that Yu Yulan always bowed her head and remained silent, so she had to speak: "Yulan, I don't want to hide it from you, the result of our discussion is ...... It is to marry you to Shi Ziling and let him be the son-in-law of our Yu family. ”
Xiao Hui let out a soft cry of "ah", grabbed Yu Yulan's arm tightly and was speechless. Yu Yulan's face was already flushed, and she quickly turned her head, not daring to look at her father.
Yu Zhengmiao couldn't understand her daughter's mind for a while, so she said: "Shiziling has a good character and martial arts, and you are very good with Yulan." According to Niu Lao's analysis, his strength should be able to enter the top 100 of the current 'Dominant List', and the two of you can be regarded as a talented and beautiful woman, born as a pair. ”
"If he becomes the son-in-law of our Yu family, no matter where he develops in the future, he will always be a part of our Yu family, and it will be very beneficial to the development and growth of our family. Would you like it, good girl?"
Yu Yulan buried her head in Xiao Hui's arms, her delicate body trembled slightly, and she didn't say a word.
Yu Zhengmiao looked at Xiao Hui helplessly, thinking that your little sisters have a deep relationship, maybe you will know the mind of your daughter.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Hui was so ashamed that her face was flushed, and she hugged Yu Yulan tightly and didn't dare to look at him at all.
Yu Zhengmiao couldn't help but get a little anxious, and said: "Good daughter, although this matter is related to the future development of our Yu family, I do think that Shi Ziling is your lifelong match, and I am very relieved to have him as my son-in-law." Do you want you to say something! Since I was a child, my father has never forced you, and you are going to kill me......"
After a long time, Yu Yulan, who was still burying her head in Xiao Hui's arms, whispered: "That Shi Gongzi must be willing?"
Yu Zhengmiao was stunned for a long time, and finally understood his daughter's intentions, he took a long breath, although he was very satisfied with Shi Ziling, but if this baby daughter insisted on refusing, he was really a little embarrassed.
Yu Yulan has been soft on the outside and rigid on the inside since she was a child, and she is really awkward, and she is really stubborn that nine cows can't pull back. Fortunately, it seems that she is still very satisfied with Shi Ziling in her heart, and the rest depends on the result of Niu Lao's proposal tomorrow.
"Although her daughter is kind and virtuous, that Shiziling sometimes looks stupid and stupid, and she doesn't know what she is thinking. His strength is so strong, even the son of Lord Castle Shou sent a special invitation to invite him to the banquet, will he agree to be his good son-in-law?"
Yu Zhengmiao was also a little apprehensive for a while.
