Chapter 20: Disaster (1)
Dan Zhuo pushed open the wooden door and saw a strange young man sitting straight on the edge of Ling'er's bed in the room, his face was flushed, and he didn't say a word. Dan Zhuo couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, but he was really worried that his daughter's injury was urgent, so he didn't ask who Wenxuan was, so he walked to Ling'er's couch and asked Ling'er about her injury with concern. "Ling'er, come on, dad take a look at your injuries. When Dan Zhuo approached the bed, Wen Xuan hurriedly got up and gave way. I saw that Dan Ling'er's face was also red, and her eyes were rolling and she didn't dare to look at herself, but she just said in a slight voice: "Dad, you are today... How did you come back so early.... I'm fine, don't worry. β
Dan Zhuo said eagerly on the side: "I heard that Uncle Chen said that you were injured, so I immediately rushed back from the palace, come, let my father take a look at your wounds." After speaking, he hugged Dan Ling'er and looked at the injury on her shoulder, after reading the injury, Dan Zhuo took a breath, his face calmed down a lot, and said: "Fortunately, the sword stab is not deep, and the treatment is relatively timely, so there is no major problem." β
Dan Zhuo let go of his anxious heart, and his tone gradually became calm: "Daughter! I thought about it, you can be a girl with the most basic martial arts self-defense, originally said that Wucheng is the best martial arts academy in the country, and the subject education in all aspects is top-notch, let you study in it for four or five years and then transfer, I didn't expect that your little girl is very talented, and she can reach the sixteenth level after only two years of study! Speaking of this, Dan Zhuo smiled from the heart, and his face was full of pride and appreciation for his daughter.
Dan Zhuo continued, "Ling'er, I will transfer you to another school when this spring begins, we won't do any brocade clothes or be a female warrior in the future, how about going to study medicine, you don't have to fight and kill every day to practice martial arts, just read books, and be a respected doctor." Besides, you'll be almost eleven years old next year, and you'll be married in a few years. The in-laws that my father found for you are the second prince of Shu Xianguo, and your flesh and blood will also be royal blood in the future. You can't still fight and kill every day. β
After listening to Danzhuo's words, Wen Xuan had mixed feelings in his heart, although he said that he and Ling'er were in the Shu Xianguo Hotel, and the two swore that they would never be separated, but today when he walked into the Spirit Clan's mansion, he saw the golden splendor in the hall, dazzling and colorful. found that the gap between himself and Ling'er was simply the world's south, and after hearing Dan Zhuo's words that Ling'er was going to marry into the palace in the future, it was even more deeply painful to his self-esteem, thinking that he was not worthy of Ling'er, and hating himself for not being able to change this fact.
Ling'er looked at Wen Xuan with her head down, there was a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth, she understood Wen Xuan's mood too well at this time. He said to Danzhuo, "Dad, there are some things I actually wanted to tell you a long time ago. Actually, I...."Before I could finish speaking, I heard a bang, bang at the door. It was Uncle Chen who stood at the mouth, and Uncle Chen was respectful and said with a smile, "Master, Madame is back, you can eat." β
Dandra said, "Okay, we'll come out right away." After speaking, Dan Zhuo noticed Wen Xuan standing next to him, saw that the young man was restrained and lowered his head, and pointed to Dan Ling'er: "This young man is ....."
Dan Ling'er hurriedly replied: "He is my classmate named Wen Xuan, and he sent me back" Dan Zhuo saw that Dan Ling'er had a different attitude towards Wen Xuan, and as soon as he entered the house, he wondered that the two of them behaved strangely, and then looked at the kid in front of him who was very concerned about Ling'er, and had already guessed the eight or nine minutes in his heart, so he deliberately said about Ling'er's marriage contract.
Dan Zhuo, who is already a person who has come over, certainly understands the feeling of children's love when the love of children is first opened. I thought that Wen Xuan was a guest at the moment, and this kid looked honest and not flamboyant, so it was too embarrassing to bombard him directly out of the Spirit Clan's mansion, and it also hurt Ling'er's heart. Treat him well at this time, and talk to him about it in a few days.
Then he said to Wen Xuan: "The visitor is a guest, thank you for helping to take care of your beloved daughter, the kitchen has prepared a meal, and we will eat together." β
Wen Xuan was very nervous when he saw Dan Zhuo's extraordinary momentum, and he didn't know how to answer, but when he looked at Dan Ling'er, he saw Dan Ling'er nodding lightly at him. Wen Xuancai nodded and said, "Okay, uncle"
At the time, Dan Ling'er's family and Wen Xuan came to the first floor pavilion in the Ling Clan's mansion, and the pavilion plaque read "Wuyuan".
This is a restaurant specializing in the prefecture. Although the hall is small, it is delicately arranged, and there are curtains embroidered with hunting pictures with gold and silver silk threads, and the embroidery work can be regarded as exquisite. On the round table of golden silk nanmu there are four gold lampstands, lit with tall candles, which illuminate the whole room.
The table is already full of dishes, anchovy shark fin, red plum pearls, kung pao hare, golden silk sparrow, ruyi roll, candied apple, candied longan, candied fresh peach, candied green plum. Extremely hearty. Dan Zhuo took out a jar of daughter red and sat down and said to Wen Xuan: "Young man, how about we eat a pot of wine today, hahahaha" Dan Zhuo's wife Yang Na, who was sitting on the side, was wearing a white dress today, with her shoulders cut and her waist as such. Hurriedly waved his hand: "You are nonsense again, other people Wenxuan is still a child, how can he drink with you." Dan Zhuo waved his hand and said: "I can't say that, how many times have I been drunk in the barracks when he was so old, and the ancient sages were all lonely, only the drinker left his name! After speaking, he poured a large glass for Wen Xuan and put it in front of Wen Xuan.
At this time, Dan Ling'er looked at her father and thought, "What's wrong with Dad today, isn't this obviously going to get Wen Xuan drunk? Why are you pouring so much for Wen Xuan..."Before he finished speaking, Dan Zhuo hurriedly said: "Ling'er, this is my business with you, a manly friend, don't intervene when drinking between men." After speaking, he picked up the wine and said to Wen Xuan: "Come, young man, thank you for taking care of my daughter!" Wen Xuan had never experienced this kind of occasion, and he didn't know how to shirk it. He also raised his wine glass and said, "Uncle is serious." He drank all the wine in the bowl, and Wen Xuan only felt a burst of fire in his mouth, burning from his throat to his stomach.
After Dan Zhuo finished drinking, he saw that Wen Xuan also drank the wine, and laughed: "Hahahaha! good! good! My friend made by Dan Zhuo's daughter is also a hero! Come, I'll fill it up for you, let's have another bowl!" At this time, Dan Ling'er couldn't sit still anymore and stood up and shouted: "Dad, what are you doing, aren't you pouring Wen Xuan to death?" Dan Zhuo waved his hand and said, "Didn't Ling'er say it? Come to Wenxuan, let's have another bowl!" Wenxuan, who had just finished drinking a bowl of wine, only felt that his stomach was hot, but he was still very conscious, but there was an indescribable sense of excitement in his heart. At this time, I saw that my table was full of bowls, and I didn't think about serving it up and drinking it again.
Dan Zhuo originally wanted to get Wen Xuan drunk and talk to him about Dan Ling'er on the second day. At this time, seeing that Wen Xuan did it without hesitation, he couldn't help but secretly admire ordinary people for drinking my wine, and he had already fallen asleep after two bowls, this kid not only didn't get dizzy and fell asleep, but his face was calm and calm, and his face didn't change, but he had a little bit of energy to drink.
Dan Ling'er looked at Wen Xuan and was quite surprised, Daddy's wine is notoriously intoxicating, every time a guest comes to the house, don't say two big bowls, even a few small cups can make many people drunk, Wen Xuan drank two big bowls but his face did not change, no wonder he was drunk in the revolving restaurant last time Wen Xuan didn't do anything, could it be that Wen Xuan is not drunk with a thousand cups?
Dan Ling'er couldn't help laughing out loud when she thought of this: "Daddy, it seems that you have met an opponent today, don't be drunk when Wen Xuan is not drunk, Daddy is drunk." β
Dan Zhuo laughed and said, "Hahahaha, I'm still worried about whether I'm drunk! Wenxuan! Good boy, I remember you." Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and this wine can see a man's measurement, and how big the amount of wine is, how big a thing it can be! Come and drink another bowl of our grandfather." Seeing this scene, Yang Na on the side patted Dan Zhuo's shoulder and said, "Enough, enough, as soon as you sit down, start drinking, the dishes on this table haven't moved yet!" Dan Zhuo turned his head to Yang Na and winked at him and said with a smile: "The last bowl, the last bowl!" After speaking, the two clinked glasses and drained the wine.
Wen Xuan felt more and more excited in his heart after drinking three bowls, and he became bold and said: "Uncle, Chen Meng's love, I have been an orphan since I was a child, I have no father and no mother, I have a hard time every day, and I am often bullied at school. Only Ling'er was good to me, and Ling'er was my best friend at school. With tears in his eyes, Wen Xuan stood up and lifted the wine jar on the table, poured himself a full bowl, held it with both hands, and said, "I salute you with this bowl of wine!" and drank all the wine in the bowl
Dan Zhuo looked at Wen Xuan with tears in his eyes, and sighed in his heart that although this kid was young, his demeanor was a little naΓ―ve. Although he looks introverted and shy on the surface, he has a ruthlessness in his heart. It should be formed by being bullied for a long time, and this person's resilience will end up in the future, either to achieve something great, or to die without hatred, and definitely not to be content with ordinary life. Then he patted Wen Xuan on the shoulder and said: "Good man, remember that no matter where the heroes of the world come from, people living in this world have to go through all kinds of hardships to become talents, and only mediocre people will not have the glory of great suffering." Don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon, I am born to be useful. No matter how great the difficulties Wen Xuan experienced, he had to grit his teeth and persevere! One day you will see the light of day. β
Yang Na couldn't help but ease the atmosphere when she saw the scene in front of her: "Okay, eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables." Sit down and drink wherever you are, how can you entertain guests like this, come to Wenxuan to eat, taste our master's craftsmanship" Dan Zhuo smiled and said to Wenxuan: "Come to Wenxuan, eat vegetables, eat vegetables." β
Ling'er said on the side: "Dad, Wen Xuan has drunk so much wine today, our school will start the second round of martial arts competition in two days, can you let Wen Xuan live in our mansion for two days?"
Dan Zhuo was trying to take advantage of these days to tell Wen Xuan about Dan Ling'er, just let Wen Xuan stay here for a few days, and then choose the opportunity to talk to Wen Xuan about this and let him leave his daughter. He replied, "No problem! Wenxuan has been living here for the past two days, and I will ask Uncle Chen to arrange a room for you." That's it. β
Wen Xuan wanted to refuse, but looked at Dan Ling'er and nodded in agreement
When the child was young, Yang Na and Dan Zhuo were in the bedroom, and Yang Na was quite dissatisfied with Dan Zhuo's wine pouring into Wenxuan today, and said: "What's wrong with you today, how can you pour so much wine into a child." Dan Zhuo was changing clothes in front of the bronze mirror at this time, turned around and buttoned his pajamas and said, "Our daughter likes this kid." β
Yang Na shook her head: "So what, do you think you are the only one who can see it? As soon as I entered the door and saw the two of them today, I felt it at first glance, and you didn't have it before? Who escaped from the marriage contract of my parents and ran from Xiping to my father's house to see me. Besides, I think Wenxuan, this kid is also very good, he looks beautiful and down-to-earth. Don't you think so?"
Dan Zhuo couldn't help but be embarrassed when he saw Yang Na mention the past when he was young, and said with a smile: "It's worthy of being my wife, I know everything I'm thinking, Wenxuan, this kid is really good, he has a chivalrous spirit and ruthlessness." The key is that he can drink a thousand glasses without pouring, and the two of us drank a full five jars of daughter red, and he didn't have anything to do! I like this very much" Yang Na slapped Danzhuo on Danzhuo's stomach and said, "You!
Dan Zhuo covered his stomach that was slapped by Yang Na just now and laughed and said, "Hahaha, you can't even drink wine, so what's the point of living." But one yard to one yard Wen Xuan, this kid is not bad, I still have to find a time to talk to Wen Xuan and let him leave Ling'er. β
Yang Na sat on the board, looked at the moon outside the window, her face was sad, and she read: "Do you have to let Ling'er marry, the second prince? That second prince is in his thirties, and our Ling'er is only 11 years old." And Ling'er can only be the fourth room when she marries, she is still so young, I am afraid that she will be bullied. β
Dan Zhuo approached Yang Na at this time, and held Yang Na's shoulders with both hands: "Didn't we say that we wouldn't talk about this matter?" Ling'er will understand. β
Yang Na turned her head and hugged Dan Zhuo, crying and shouting: "I beg you not to send my daughter away, okay? I can't stand it when I think that I won't see him in the future, our father hasn't seen each other in the palace for five years, and I don't want Ling'er to be like this." β
Dan Zhuo looked at Yang Na in front of him and felt pity in his heart, and then said: "I don't hope that Ling'er can choose her future husband by herself, but at the moment there is no way to do it, the current situation in the entire Xiping is chaotic, and many spirit clan personnel have the intention of rebelling." There are many villains in the court who have advised to weaken the power of our spirit clan, only by relying on the big ship of the second prince can we stand in the court, thousands of people in the spirit clan are looking at me, if our family's power is cut, I am afraid that the entire Xiping will be in chaos, and then there will be a lot of life, and there will be war for many years. The second prince has many eyes and ears in the court, and his influence is quite large. As long as we can marry the second prince, no one will dare to pay attention to our family, and only by gaining a foothold in the court can we stabilize Xiping and prevent war. β
After listening to Danzhuo's words, Yang Na knew that it was useless to say anything, so she only sighed, is this Ling'er's fate!
