Chapter 168: Behind the Wedding
There are naturally customs for marriage in China. If the groom wants to marry, he must show enough sincerity. This sincerity naturally requires the uncle to be sent away. The uncle has the responsibility to keep the door. If he says it cannot, the door will never be opened, and you can only wait outside.
This is also what makes the groom only know about the importance of the uncle. Knowing that the bride's family is powerful. The more violent the bride's family is, the thicker the back of the bride's family is. Let the groom consider it, and he will not be able to bully the bride's family in the future, otherwise the family will not let him go.
However, most of this custom is just a joke. However, in the Kyoto Military Region, the joke is infinitely magnified during the weddings of these senior officials. This is not just a joke, but seems to have risen to a political height. Most of this height is warning and power.
The Chen family is already strong enough, so the power shown in this way is not very important, but the pretext is still to be done, otherwise it will not be enough to make people alert. Especially for the old fox of the Song family and the words and deeds of Chen Yuyang, all have deep meanings, which make people understand.
Just as everyone was waiting to watch the fun, Chen Yuyang came to Chen Lingfeng's study. Chen Lingfeng sat silently, looking at the fun below, and couldn't help but feel a little sad and lonely. Chen Yuyang's arrival shocked him and blamed him: "You, the head of the Chen family, good brother, why did you appear here at this time? You should spend more time with Xinchen's room!"
Chen Yuyang smiled and said, "My sister is about to get married. She wants the boy from the Song family to accompany her. I'm not at ease with you, so come and have a look!"
"What's the matter with old man? You kid..." Chen Lingfeng cursed with a smile, but he had to admire his great-grandson in his heart that he was indeed as careful as dust. He nodded and said, "Sit down, I guess that boy Song Yuanshan would not have come in so quickly, and talk to the old man!"
"Okay!" Chen Yuyang sat opposite the old man without hesitation, waiting for the old man to speak.
The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "The marriage with the Song family was initially due to the needs of the Chen family. At the same time, the girl Xinchen liked the boy of the Song family, so she agreed. But..."
"But, you want to regret it now, right?" Chen Yuyang said with a smile.
"Where did you start with this? The old man has never said it!" Chen Lingfeng looked at Chen Yuyang with a playful smile.
Chen Yuyang kept tapping the table with one hand, very rhythmic. After a long time, he said, "You can't see things that I can see. In the two years since I was away, their marriages were delayed again and again, and I could see a little bit of it!"
The old man smiled, and did not hide it, nor could he hide it, and said, "It's true! The Chen family no longer needs the Song family. I didn't want such a marriage at the beginning, but I was afraid of hurting Xinchen's heart, so I agreed. If you are not here for two years, the future of the Chen family is not here, so I can't agree easily. Now that you are back, I have indeed regretted it.
Song Qingfeng is too hypocritical, and it seems to be true. I am afraid..."
"Are you afraid that one day he will do something that will make it difficult for me to do right?" Chen Yuyang said without waiting for the old man to finish his words.
Chen Lingfeng smiled and nodded and said, "It's true that the harmony of the Chen family will be controlled in the future. If Xinchen is for the Song family..., then you will be in a dilemma. But two years have passed, and I feel a little relieved. Your kid's power has already shocked the Song family, and they will not do anything, but they are afraid that they will do whatever they want to rely on your power and act nonsense!"
Chen Yuyang looked up and said: "The country is a country, and the family is a family. It's two things. If you don't offend the public, I can help you. If you commit the public's anger, you will have more than death. But Song Yuanshan, I must protect you. After all, I am my brother-in-law. As for the Song family, he will still let him go. The affairs of the country are not enough for anyone to rely on the power of his own. I have power, that's mine, not the Song family. I will explain this clearly to Song Qingfeng. He is a wise man. Although his spirit is too fake, he is not confused.
And he has two years left. The Song family has passed two years and there is no one else. His son is an incompetent waste, so there is no need to worry. With me protecting him, there is no possibility of something happening to the Song family. This is also an explanation to my sister. Protecting him, the Song family will be peaceful all their lives!”
"Okay, okay!" Chen Lingfeng sighed and said, "I'm afraid that you will still be so strong at that time, and the people in the family are incompatible. My old man is old and can't see these things. As long as you have a proper sense of justice, that's fine. You can't harm the country or hurt your sister. You can grasp this measure yourself!"
Chen Yuyang nodded and said, "I understand!"
"As for the matter between the girl from the Song family and the Bai family, you can let Bai Jingqi solve it himself, and he will know what to do! He is not a stupid person either. After the marriage between Yuanshan and Xinchen, he will represent the Bai family to the gate of the Song family. You can let go of this matter! Chen Lingfeng was still worried and explained.
Chen Yuyang smiled and said, "I have a proper sense!"
Chen Lingfeng sighed and looked at Chen Yuyang with a very strange look and sighed: "That girl from the Song family is pretty pretty, what a pity!"
Chen Yuyang smiled again. He naturally understood the old man's words, but he was not easy to speak and could not interrupt.
After a long time, Chen Lingfeng's patience seemed to be a little wiped out. He smacked his lips and said, "Yuyang, do you really don't want to put that girl in the room? If you take her away, the old man's concern for the Song family will be unnecessary. After all, these two marriages are reliable, and that old ghost Song Qingfeng can live a peaceful life with peace of mind, and there will be no big storm! The cunning rabbit has three holes, and if you give him two holes, he can't have any other thoughts!"
Chen Yuyang smiled awkwardly and said, "My thoughts are, Xin Chen has already told you. I have never been soft-hearted in Nuonuo and Ling'er, let alone Song Jia. There is no need to talk about this matter!"
"Is it really impossible?" Chen Lingfeng seemed unwilling to accept her: "Accept her, not violate the rules, not violate the ethics, why not?"
Chen Yuyang laughed, moved his fingers again, and said, "Don't you know the reason? Qingqing is deeply in love with me and dare not let it down. At the same time, three wives and four concubines cannot do it as my status as I do."
Chen Lingfeng nodded and said, "The world's example, the best is to do the best. What I understand is that it has only made you suffer. Everyone knows that you are in power, but they don't know that you are actually bound by the world. It seems that No. 1 is right, and you are forbearing as a public servant. You have done it. I have to say that you are a good leader, a good soldier, a good leader, and a good husband, but you are not a good man!"
"Maybe, that's it." Chen Yuyang nodded and said, "Everyone in the world has something that would rather give up life than give up. I am the same. My cultivation is high, and I am just a person, just a person! In fact, in fact, what I want to do, like no one can point fingers at today. Orthodox and convention are indeed one aspect of consideration, but Qingqing, the most important thing is Qingqing!"
