Chapter 21: Memories of the Past (17)
Xun Dai'er pursed her lips and said: "I think you also know that my father has always disliked people in the martial arts, so when he knows the relationship between the two of us, he will definitely do his best to stop it, but he is also unwilling to negotiate with you and the Lord of the Lin League, so he set up a plan to make you completely dead to me."
"Father knows that you are a person who abides by the law of benevolence, righteousness and propriety, so as long as you know that I have made a marriage contract with someone else, you will probably leave. After having this idea, his father acted in that play himself, and even his mother was kept in the dark by him. Sure enough, my father's judgment was right, and you did as he expected, and left that day. ”
Mu Beiting hurriedly said: "I was also suspicious at the time, but after the news of Mr. Ma's death came, the heartbroken appearance of Director Xun really didn't seem to be cozy, so I believed most of the matter." ”
Xun Dai'er said: "My father has been up and down in the business world for many years, and he has the most thorough understanding of people's temperament, but you are a frank man, and you are naturally weak in scheming, so my father only needs a little trick to invite you into the urn... Alas, it's only my fault that I have hidden from you, otherwise you wouldn't have been fooled easily. ”
Mu Beiting Qi said: "You... What are you hiding from me?"
Xun Dai'er said: "In fact, when my father was preparing for this celebration, he still had a selfish intention, and he wanted to take this opportunity to find a husband for me, a husband who could satisfy him. ”
Mu Beiting exclaimed, "Ah, there is such a thing, but why don't you tell me?"
Xun Dai'er lowered her head, sighed softly, and said: "My mind is like a blank sheet of paper in front of my father, he knows that I will not tell you this news, so he dares to set up this plan to deceive you, and I didn't tell you this news, just because I was afraid that you would stop it... That's it..."
Mu Beiting saw that she couldn't say the last sentence for a long time, so he asked, "What do you want to say is the word 'retreat'?"
Xun Dai'er nodded slowly, signaling that what Mu Beiting said was good.
Mu Beiting smiled helplessly and sighed: "I didn't expect it! Your father's prejudice against people in my generation is so deep. After a pause, he said solemnly: "But don't worry, if you treat me like this, I will definitely live up to you." From now on, no matter what kind of conspiracy and trickery there is, no one will be able to make me retreat!"
What he said was categorical, and he couldn't tolerate Xun Dai'er not believing it. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Alas, it seems that I am too careful. ”
Mu Beiting shook his head and said: "You can't say that, thinking about it at this time, if it weren't for this episode, we wouldn't be so sure of each other." ”
Xun Dai'er thought about it, thought deeply, and suddenly smiled, and said "um" softly.
Mu Beiting asked again: "Then who is Ma Li in your father's mouth, or is there no such person?"
Xun Dai'er smiled: "There is such a person, but it is not my fiancé, but it is my good sister, she is one year older than me, and she is my good sister." ”
Mu Beiting was puzzled, and his hanging heart finally landed peacefully, but he couldn't help but smile, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I see, I also went to look for you later, but I only met Cuiyu." After I asked, she also told me that Ma Li was your fiancé, so far, I was finally convinced, but now it seems that Jade has already been bought by your father in advance. ”
Xun Dai'er nodded and said, "Father knows that you will definitely go to me for verification, so he calculated the time, and when you go, I have already been summoned by my mother to her house, so I will be staggered from you." Then he asked Jade to pretend to help me get my clothes, but in fact he was going to meet you so that he could confirm to you that I did have a fiancé. ”
When she said this, she suddenly paused, and then showed a wry smile, and continued: "Originally, that girl had a heart for me, but she has always been timid, and after all, she still succumbed to her father's majesty, and she had to lie to you. But then she saw that you were disheartened and left, and wanted to tell you the truth, but unfortunately you were far away by then, and you could not hear her again. ”
Mu Beiting thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered that when he left, he did hear Cuiyu shouting to himself, but he was upset at that time, so he didn't turn back, so he missed the truth.
Xun Dai'er continued: "After you left, my father came to the house and told my mother and me the truth. When I heard this, I was angry and sad in my heart, and I quarreled with my father at that time, but my father angrily scolded me for not knowing what to do, and wanted to confine me to the house. I had nothing to do in the face of my angry father, but suddenly I remembered that you had saved my life, so I hurriedly told me about it, hoping to persuade my father to agree with you and me. Who would have thought that when my father heard this, he was furious, insisting that my words were made up, and finally locked me in the house, and sent people to guard the door day and night, even my mother and Jade were not allowed to see me. Alas, I was on the verge of crying for the past few days. ”
Mu Beiting was full of tenderness in his heart, and immediately stretched out his hands to hold Xun Dai'er's soft and boneless little hands tightly, and said gently: "Dai'er, it's really difficult for you, but how did you find it here?"
Xun Daier said: "My mother let me out." That night, I was lying in bed in a daze, dazed and about to fall asleep, when I suddenly heard a sharp knock at the door, and when I got up and went to open the door, I saw my mother standing outside the door, and the servants who were guarding the door did not know where they had gone. My mother held up her finger at me, motioned for me to be silent, and quietly led me out of the courtyard to the gate.
At that time, the carriage and coachman were already prepared outside the door, and Jade was already sitting in the carriage. At this time, my mother said to me: 'Dai'er, my mother knows that you are really in love with Mu Beiting, watching you gradually become thin and haggard for him, my mother's heart is so sad, poor mother is only such a daughter as you, at this time my mother will not fulfill you, who will fulfill you? I have followed your father for so many years, and I have learned some skills in seeing people, I think this person has an upright temperament and a good temper, so he must not treat you badly, as for your father, I will find an opportunity to persuade him slowly, just wait for his mind to change, I will send you a letter again, and then you will come back with Mu Beiting. ’
"I wanted to leave my family, I was very unwilling, but when I thought of you again, I began to hesitate again, and finally my mother drove me into the carriage, and after a few days of driving, I finally arrived in Ningbo this morning..."
When she said this, she suddenly felt uneasy, and began to whimper and cry again.
Mu Beiting saw her treating her so affectionately, his heart was both excited and guilty, and his blood surged into his heart for a while, and he said loudly: "Please rest assured, I will live up to you in this life, if I violate my oath, there will be such a chair!"
Xun Dai'er looked at Mu Beiting, her eyes fluttered, and she said softly: "I know that you are a man who values love and righteousness, otherwise I wouldn't have come to look for you!" After a pause, she said: "It's not good to break things, but the store wants you to compensate." ”
Sure enough, as soon as she stopped talking, the previous guy who ran the hall immediately rushed in from outside the house, and when he saw the chair that was broken on the ground, the whole person couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled and said: "Uncle Mu is angry, but where is the little one not taken care of?" Or is the food unappetizing?"
Mu Beiting was slightly embarrassed, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "No, no." It's all good, I'm just... I just saw a fly fall on this chair, and I wanted to slap it to death, but I blamed me for not mastering the strength well, so I broke the chair, and I am really sorry. Well, you go and convert this chair into cash, and add it to the meal, and I'll pay for it when I settle the bill. ”
The guy stuck out his tongue, shocked in his heart, but said busily: "No, no, the culprit is the headless fly, how can it be counted on Uncle Mu's head, the small one will clean up the chair, so as not to hinder the two of you." Then he turned and went out, and shouted to two men to come into the house and clean up all the debris of the broken chairs.
After some previous telling and the current episode, the lovers' hearts were untied, and each other's mood became relaxed, and then the two complained to each other about tenderness, while eating and drinking, and spent a happy time. At the end, when Mu Beiting went to settle the meal money, the store refused to accept the chair money, where was Mu Beiting willing to follow, insisted on giving, and after some pushing, the store finally lost, and had to reach out and take the silver.
