Xuanya came to her father angrily, just to argue with him, "Father! How could you do this! He came all the way to our house, but you have this attitude. Think about it, why don't you leave?" What? Have you forgotten the friendship of the old neighbors?"

Lao Xuan put down the busy work at hand, raised her head, looked at her daughter's angry expression, and said calmly: "My child! I don't think this matter is as simple as you said, right? Your mind, Can't dad figure it out? It is an indisputable fact that you and Zhan Rong have been close since childhood. You have feelings for him, but you want to take over their family first, and then tell me about your wedding. What about you, you little wishful thinking, can I not know?"

After saying that, Xuanya blushed, her thoughts were seen through by her father, and she felt a little embarrassed, "Daddy! Didn't you say it before? When we are a few years older, we will arrange our marriage! Aren't you right? Was Rong always satisfied? Why is he treating him like this now?"

"That's right! Zhan Rong is really a good kid. He is knowledgeable, sensible, and considerate. I used to like him very much, but have you ever thought about your father? Dad has studied hard for decades without success, and now he can finally be named on the gold list , Entering the court and becoming an official, this journey is not easy!

Now my father holds an important position in the imperial court, with no foundation and no connections, but this Nuoda imperial court is full of entanglements, forming cliques for selfish purposes, and offending others if I don't pay attention, a person like me with no background and no money In the end, I can only become a victim of various factions fighting openly and secretly, and intrigue. Am I the doomed lamb to sit and wait to be slaughtered?Of course not reconciled.

I have to find a way to occupy a place in this Nuo Da court!In the future, he will be able to rise to the top, step by step, and be like a fish in water in this imperial court! "Old Xuan expressed his thoughts to his daughter with all his heart.

Although she didn't say it very clearly, Xuanya is not stupid, she can hear her father's implication, and she must be disgusted with Zhan Rong's background and background. It seems that Zhan Rong's guess is correct, he has already expected When it came to my father's thoughts, he kept asking me this question again and again, and it seemed that I still ignored this matter.

However, what the father said is that he is on the rise, step by step, and like a fish in water. Could it be possible to realize his dream of being promoted and making a fortune by refusing her combination with Zhan Rong?She thought about it over and over again, and Fang suddenly realized that her father would not use her as a victim of his career advancement, right?Thinking about it, I don't feel sad. My father used to be so loving, and her daughter's happiness was once regarded as the most important thing by her. He used to respect her ideas so much, and asked his daughter's opinions in everything, but now, the father It has changed, it is no longer the respected and trusting father he used to be, and it has become unreasonable to her, making her feel so strange.

"Father! You are right. I just want to tell you that you know our relationship with Zhan Rong best. I don't need to say more. I have already recognized him in this life. It is impossible to marry someone else. I hope you can help us." Xuanya also aired her thoughts.

"Impossible! I will never agree to the marriage between the two of you. Now you are the daughter of the Minister of Rites and a family of officials. What is he? He is just a poor boy! The bottom of society, you two are not in the right family, it is not right at all. There is a world of difference, I will never allow my daughter to marry a poor boy, that would be unfair to you!
Liang Wang once came here, deliberately for the marriage of his son Yuanyu. When his son saw you that day, he was deeply attracted by you and fell in love with you at first sight.Want to marry you.

child!King Liang is the emperor's blood brother, and he is a relative of the emperor's relatives. Besides, he loves Yuanyu the most, if you marry his son, you will enjoy inexhaustible glory and wealth. My whole life is like being in that honeypot.That happiness is endless! "Old Xuan comforted her hard, hoping her daughter could think clearly.

After Xuanya heard this, she knew that her father was going to betroth her to the son of King Liang. That day when King Liang came to visit, his son Yuanyu was behind her, and her eyes were staring at her fiercely. The child is so wretched and disgusting that it is no different from that beast.

She felt that this man was a bit unbearable, he was a dandy, his speech and behavior were vulgar and indecent, as if it was extremely disproportionate to his noble status, she hated this kind of official children, and knew that he must be promiscuous, a wife and concubine In groups, feelings are not specific at all.

Her father's ordering her to marry this man was equivalent to pushing her daughter into the fire pit, which she never imagined in her dreams. Right on the number, the father is not thinking about the happiness of his daughter!It was as if she was using her daughter as a sacrifice to climb up the high branches of King Liang's relatives like a dragon and a phoenix, so as to lay a solid foundation for her to be able to call the wind and rain in the court in the future, and to be promoted to rank.He must be a little too selfish!
"Father! Let the King of Liang die! Even if I die, I won't be able to marry his naughty son!" Xuanya's attitude was very firm.

Old Xuan said helplessly: "Son! I understand what you think in your heart. As we all know, this Yuanyu is indeed a playboy. He was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child. I don't want to be spoiled by the King of Liang!
However, have you ever thought about it, they are the royal family, what does King Liang want, is there anything he can't get?Do you think that if you reject him, our family will be fine?People must hold grudges, although my father is an official of the court, but in their eyes, he is nothing at all, as the saying goes, there is no excuse for crimes, people can find a reason to ruin our family.

At that time, it will not be a question of whether you want to, but a question of whether you can survive.Think about it, is this the truth? Do we have the right to refuse?As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes. After all, this arm can't twist the thigh, and he is under one person, but above ten thousand people!It's like the emperor chooses his concubine!Who dares not to obey the person whom the emperor likes, even if he borrows 1 guts!This round jade is no exception.Hope you figured this out. "

Xuan Ya said indignantly: "Is there no law in the imperial court?"

"My child! The law of the king is originally set by the court, the emperor. Do you still want to talk about the law with the emperor's relatives?" Old Xuan tried to persuade him.

After Xuanya listened, she pondered for a moment, her father's words were not unreasonable, Liang Wang Qiansui was too powerful!If someone wants to kill a person, it is as easy as crushing an ant.Looking at his father's almost begging expression, his white hair at the temples, and his slightly hunched waist, I thought about how much money my father earned by bowing and kowtowing to support his family in the past few decades.

I still don't forget that Han Chuang studied hard to gain fame. Could it be that all of this is for himself?Isn't it to let her daughter live a good life and get rid of the miserable life of poverty.But what have I done for this family these years?Now that his father's official career is on the rise, as he said, he has no foundation and no connections, so why does he survive in this court that is fighting openly and secretly?

If he could form a family with the King of Liang, then invisibly, he could find a huge foundation in the court.Then his father's official career will go smoothly, and the sacrifice he made will be very worthwhile.Thinking of this, her heart softened again.

"Father! Stop talking! I promise you! Just marry the son of King Liang!" Xuanya's tone was extremely peaceful.

This really surprised Lao Xuan. Originally, he thought that his daughter must be refusing to accept life and death. He never thought that he would agree so happily. He understood that his daughter felt wronged, but in the current situation, it is not too good Method.He had no choice but to marry his daughter to his son according to the wishes of King Liang.

With tears in her eyes, Lao Xuan choked and said to her daughter: "My child! I have wronged you! Daddy is sorry for you!"

Say it!The father and daughter just covered their faces and wept, heartbroken.

After Yuan Yu got the news that Xuanya, the lover of her dreams, agreed to marry her, the kid almost jumped up from the ground in displeasure, and asked eagerly, "Father! When will we get married?"

Seeing his son's excitement, King Liang knew that this kid had genuine feelings for Miss Xuanya, and such a beautiful woman had never seen her so excited before, "I'm so anxious! Look at how promising you are! Don't worry! I have arranged many people to specialize in this matter, and I am in full swing of preparations. The day of your wedding is scheduled to be on the eighth day of next month. I have ordered people to report to the Holy Majesty, and notified all civil and military officials. They will definitely come to congratulate them.”

After hearing this, Yuan Yu couldn't hide her excitement and joy, and said excitedly: "Thank you, Father, for making this matter possible! After my son gets married, I will definitely study at ease, practice martial arts hard, and live up to my father's hopes for my son!" King Liang was very moved when he heard this. He had never heard such sensible words from his son. He was always playing tricks, getting into trouble everywhere, messing around and making no sense. What he looked forward to most was his own baby. Pida is able to understand the book and reason, understand the inside and the outside, but it always backfires. I never thought that this child could talk about such a heart-warming topic today, proving that my efforts to worry about it during this period of time were not in vain.King Liang even expected that through this wedding, the child could truly become a responsible adult and get rid of the child's temper.If that's the case, then his move is right.

The father and son chatted happily.They chatted heartily.

That's the way things are, some are happy and some are sad, some are so happy that they can't close their mouths from ear to ear, and some are frowning with worry.Xuanya has already agreed to her father, which means she has accepted the marriage.Then the next question comes, how to tell Zhan Rong.

In her heart, she can't let him go. In other words, in her heart, there is no room for a second man. She has a deep relationship with Zhan Rong. In her heart, Zhan Rong is already her husband. , Whether or not this big marriage is just a formality.Even if she went to Liang Wangfu, she was in Cao Ying and her heart was in Han.

She was just worried that her lover would not be able to accept this reality, would not be able to bear this blow, would he understand her difficulties and situation?She couldn't imagine how Zhan Rong would react when she told him this matter, would she forgive herself?All these questions echoed in Xuanya's mind.While thinking about it, she ordered people to arrange carriages and horses, and then hurriedly took the carriage to the big tree at the entrance of the village. She could think that her lover Zhan Rong might be waiting for her under the big tree at this moment!
