Chapter 13: Marriage

The three of them sat in the courtyard for a while, looking at the stars in the sky and the cool moonlight, and chatted casually.

Ling Yexue stood up and prepared to leave.

Li Chenguang also got up, "I'll send you." ”

"You can pull it down."

Ling Yexue glanced at him, "I won't walk next door for less than 100 meters, what are you polite to me." ”

Ling Yexue took a few steps and pointed at Li Chenguang again, "Remember to do your homework, read your notes, do you know or not." ”

"I know, I know, I must remember this time." Li Chenguang nodded hurriedly.

"And weeds."

"Be sure to cut it, cut it by all means."

It's a pity that Ling Yexue just gave him a completely distrustful look, and finally glanced at Li Diexi meaningfully and left.

This time instead of going through the bushes, I went around the side of the house and left through the front door.

The design of the two villas is basically the same.

Ling Yexue returned to her small villa, opened the door gently, and saw her father sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV.

"Dad, I'm back."

"Hmm."

Ling Yuanfeng faced a slightly old, serious face with signs of age, wearing a pair of small glasses, holding a newspaper in his hand, sitting on the couch in the middle, looking a little old-fashioned and majestic.

He first nodded at Ling Yexue, just turned his head, turned back again, and looked at Ling Yexue's skirt, "Why is the skirt broken?" ”

Ling Yexue sat on the low stool at the entrance of the entrance, and replied while taking off her shoes, "I was just accidentally scratched by a branch on the side of the road, I'll just sew it later, anyway, I only wear it at home." ”

"Well, be careful next time, don't break your skirt, don't rub it into the skin."

Ling Yuanfeng first cared about it, and then said earnestly, "Although you are directly recruited by the imperial martial arts, you don't need to take the exam, and you can't be negligent, take a look at the books in the university early, the imperial capital is the most powerful student in the country, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up with the progress." ”

"I know, Dad."

"Well, is there enough money to spend, what do you need to buy, tell Dad."

"I know."

As soon as Ling Yexue took off her sandals and stepped on her slippers, her mother Zhou Shuhan came out of the kitchen with a scarf.

Zhou Shuhan has a plump figure, with the plump of a mature woman, a graceful and delicate body, compared to a little old, she looks like Ling Yuanfeng in her fifties and sixties in her 40s, and she looks like a mature young woman, the heavy weight on her chest, you can vaguely see the direction of development after Ling Yexue.

Zhou Shuhan and Ling Yuanfeng went to that station together, giving people the feeling that Ling Yuanfeng seemed to be squeezed dry, with white hair, but Zhou Shuhan became more and more moisturized.

In the past, Ling Yuanfeng was also a well-known businessman, married an enviable beautiful wife, and even had a cute, smart and talented baby daughter, but it was a pity that his merchant ship was directly smashed by a storm.

Now I can only work as an editor in a newspaper office, with a salary of four or five thousand a month.

Zhou Shuhan walked out with a bowl of longan lotus seed soup, "The strawberries have been taken by Chenguang, come, try the longan lotus seed soup stewed by your mother for you, to replenish your brain." ”

"Hmm."

Zhou Shuhan put the longan lotus seed soup on the coffee table and beckoned Ling Yexue to come over.

Ling Yexue sat on the floor in front of the coffee table, bent her legs, scooped the spoon with a spoon, and leaned over her delicate little mouth to blow cold.

Zhou Shuhan also sat down on the sofa next to her, staring at the beautiful black hair behind Ling Yexue, which fell on the coffee table, the convex convex, the warped, the beautiful silhouette of the slender and elegant, and sighed, "It is worthy of being my daughter, with my demeanor back then, she is getting more and more beautiful, and it is time to talk about marriage." ”

When Ling Yexue heard this, she unconsciously sped up the speed of scooping the spoon.

In recent years, due to the sharp decline in the population of the war, the legal age of marriage has been adjusted to 18 years old.

The empire advocates that the average girl will talk about marriage at 18, and she can study while starting a family, as well as credit bonuses, and the main one is all-round development and having more children.

Zhou Shuhan said, looked in the direction of Li Chenguang's house next door, and sighed, "That Li Chenguang, most of his parents were eaten by dragons." ”

Ling Yuanfeng smacked his lips when he heard this, "tsk", and looked at Zhou Shuhan with a frown.

Zhou Shuhan also met his gaze unceremoniously, "What, what am I talking about, what kind of eyes do you have." ”

Ling Yuanfeng frowned, "Why are you here again, why are you cursing people." ”

"It's been 6 years, what parent will leave their children at home for 6 years and not come back, people must be gone, you look at his relatives, the old uncle and the second uncle ran to his house, don't you just see that the two children are easy to bully, and the real estate is left."

"Okay, okay, we can't take care of this, don't talk about it."

"I don't care, I mean, Xiaoxue don't care, for so many years, we have taken care of their family enough, and we often call those two little ones to eat, what, rely on our Xiaoxue for a lifetime, Xiaoxue is also going to get married, don't you get so close, people will gossip, do you understand."

"Look at what you said, the baby was kissed at that time, how can a manly man go back on his word."

"Can it be the same before and now?"

"A gentleman is hard to chase after a horse, how can he ......"

Zhou Shuhan's voice was amplified several times, and he heard it clearly outside the house, interrupting Ling Yuanfeng and said, "I used to see that his father Li Yu was also from the Li family, and I thought that he was related to the city lord, who would think that the two families were separated by eighteen generations, and her mother Feng Weixian had an unusual temperament, and later checked that none of the nobles in the 36 cities of our country had the surname Feng." ”

"Now that the person is dead, he is poor and white, and the remaining house is still remembered by his uncle and second uncle, and soon the house will be gone, do you still want our Xiaoxue to marry him?"

Zhou Shuhan pointed at Ling Yuanfeng's nose and scolded, "Why did you marry in the past?" Suffer along, don't you? You want your daughter to die. ”

"No, why are you like this, when you were begging for nothing, I said don't, do you have to say that you want to set a baby to see the two children fall in love, and the dowry has been accepted, and now you regret it?"

"What is that dowry called, it's just a bell."

"People have said it's a family heirloom, otherwise they wouldn't have worn it around Xiaoguang's neck all the time,"

"Phew, a broken pocket watch that can't be repaired for hundreds of years and won't move, why do you think it's rare, I asked my friends in the antique shop, this is not worth anything at all, throw it on the street and no one picks it up, I suspect that people are tricking us, and now there are many liars who pretend to be nobles and deceive people...... If you think about it, Li Chenguang has no car, no house, no repair, no future, and drags a sister who drags an oil bottle, do you want Xiaoxue to suffer for the rest of your life? Just for your promise of that man? ”

"It was you who said you wanted to marry, and now it's you who says you don't want to."

"It's not that you're useless, who takes care of the family, who pays the house loan, relying on your monthly salary of thousands of dollars, Xiaoxue and I have starved to death, Xiaoxue is so competitive and has opened three tricks, what about the crystallization of secret skills, what about the money......"

Ling Yexue has long been accustomed to this situation.

She didn't say a word from beginning to end, even though her mouth was still a little hot, she still raised her neck and quickly drank the lotus seed soup, then stood up and turned her back to Zhou Shuhan and said, "Mom, I'm done eating, go upstairs first." ”

After saying that, he walked briskly towards the stairs next door, as if he didn't want to stay for a moment.

Zhou Shuhan hurriedly followed, "Eh, Xiaoxue, I heard that Li Tianming, the son of the city lord, has been chasing you recently, and he is chasing you very closely, I think he is very good, he is still the eldest son of the city lord, and there is a high probability that he will inherit Yuhai City in the future, do you want to ......"

Zhou Shuhan had just walked to the top of the stairs, and Ling Yexue had disappeared into the corner of the second floor, and then there was a deafening sound of "bang" closing the door, which shook the floor as if it was shaking.

"This kid ...... Why do you close the door so hard, really, don't hurt your hands. ”

Zhou Shuhan came to the living room to clean up Ling Yexue's leftover bowls.

Ling Yuanfeng didn't have a good air, "In the future, can you not say this kind of thing in front of children, the impact will be bad." ”

Zhou Shuhan's voice immediately raised one hundred and eighty degrees, her hands on her hips, and she said, "It's not good, now you know it's not good?" You go to the newspaper office all day long and sit on your ass all day, you are relaxed, you care about your daughter, you will only have this salary, do you want to make a profit, I need to worry about it......"

As soon as Ling Yuanfeng mentioned his salary, he withered, muttering something "Only women and villains are difficult to raise", picked up the newspaper and covered his face, as if he didn't want to see Zhou Shuhan's face for a second.

But this didn't stop Zhou Shuhan's roaring voice and anger, as well as the mouth that output like a machine gun......

Just then, there was a slight knock on the door.

"Knock knock, knock knock".

Zhou Shuhan was stunned for a moment, finally stopped talking and finally glared at Ling Yuanfeng, came to the entrance, dragged a pair of pink slippers, and opened the door.

found that under the night, Li Chenguang was standing alone at the door.

Li Chenguang smiled at Zhou Shuhan, "Auntie, just after eating that strawberry, I forgot to bring it back from the basket, I washed it and brought it over, I don't know if I want it." ”

As he spoke, he handed over the small basket in his hand.

Zhou Shuhan's face change was as fast and efficient as the Saiyan transformation, and he immediately put on a smile, took the basket and said, "Xiaoguang, come on, come in and sit, come in and sit, haven't you had dinner?" ”

"Thank you, Auntie, I've eaten it."

That Ling Yuanfeng also put down the newspaper, looked at Li Chenguang as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile, "Xiaoguang, how are your recent results?" ”

"Still, okay."

"You have to study hard, you know."

"Well, I know, uncle."

"If you have nothing to do, you can go to my uncle's house to play, it's all a family."

"I will, it's late today, I'll go back first."

Zhou Shuhan invited with a smile on her face, "It's all here, if you don't come in and sit, come in and sit." ”

Li Chenguang excused himself, "No need, thank you, Auntie, Xixi is still waiting for me at home." ”

"Okay then, then next time, next time I come to my aunt's house to play."

"Hmm."

As Li Chenguang turned around with a smile, Zhou Shuhan immediately closed the door......
