Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Five The Grand Speeches of the Old Country
Xiao Bi and Mr. Xiao have not seen each other for more than a year.
But he remembered very clearly that Xiao Jiu once said that the Lord of Chunyu City was a middle-aged man with white beard and hair and a handsome appearance, several years younger than his eldest son.
But Old Ding's beard and hair are only gray, his face has more wrinkles than him, and his appearance is just average. It is actually far different from the description of his granddaughter.
Lord Chunyu said with a smile: "In order to hide this from the eyes and ears of the old prince, both my father and daughter have put on disguises."
Xiao Laoguo said: "As the city lord said just now, you and Xiaojiu have been friends for many years.
But in my opinion, you have given her the position of city lord, and you have considered her a member of the family."
City Lord Chunyu said: "Yes, I have already regarded Xiaojiu as my own child, and even accepted Xiaohan as my adopted daughter."
Old Duke Xiao said with a smile: "In that case, the city lord has come all the way to visit relatives in Yanmen County, why should he be so secretive?"
After getting along with him for nearly a month, City Lord Chunyu had a very good understanding of his temperament.
The great Duke Ding of the Wei Dynasty, who had a noble status and a large number of soldiers, was really a man with a straightforward personality who was worth getting to know.
He smiled and said: "It seems that I feel the same pain as you."
"You mean..." Mr. Xiao seemed to be unable to believe what he said.
Although Ruoshui City is a small place, it is independent from the Three Kingdoms after all.
Moreover, Lord Chunyu only has one daughter, who is no worse than a princess of a country.
In terms of status, my Xiao Wu is certainly worthy of it.
But Xiao Wu is going to inherit the military power of the Xiao family, and is destined to have nothing to do with a stable and leisurely life in this life.
If he does not get His Majesty's permission, he and his wife may even be separated for decades.
Weoshui City is rich and never easily conflicts with other countries. The lord of Chunyu City only needs to choose a young man in the city who has good conditions in all aspects as his son-in-law. It is not difficult for Chunyu to live a stable life for the eldest daughter.
But why did he sacrifice the near for the distant and send his daughter into the "pit of fire"?
Could it be that...this matter is related to that girl Xiaojiu?
Girls all love handsome young men. Miss Chunyu heard Xiao Jiu’s praise of Xiao Wu, so what kind of thoughts did she have?
"Old Ding, do you still remember the playbook I told you that day?" Mr. Xiao couldn't help but make a joke.
City Lord Chunyu said: "To be honest, this matter has nothing to do with Yi'er, that is, Ding Xiaomu. It's all my intention."
"Oh?" Old Duke Xiao couldn't help laughing.
It turns out that Xiaowu was attracted by the girl's father, and the girl seemed a little reluctant?
No wonder they use drugs...
wrong!
Why would such a good girl use drugs to deal with Xiao Wu?
Could it be that Xiaowu did something untoward to others?
Old Duke Xiao had mixed feelings in his heart.
The brat is finally attracted to a woman, which should be a good thing no matter how you look at it.
But Ding Xiaomu’s appearance…
Well, he doesn't know what Miss Chunyu's true face is.
But her appearance after dressing up is really not that good. How can this brat like her?
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the boy went to the kitchen to get food, he couldn't help but attack. He was really hungry...
Old Duke Xiao tried his best to smile.
"Old Ding... no, City Lord, now that the matter is over, should we start thinking about the marriage of our children?"
I really can't blame him for being so impatient.
It took twenty years for that brat Xiaowu to fall in love with such a girl. If he misses her again this time, he might really be a bachelor in this life.
And he has done that kind of thing to other girls, so he has to be responsible, right?
City Lord Chunyu was a little confused by his awkward smile.
"Old Duke, the customs in Ruoshui City are somewhat different from those in the Wei Dynasty.
What young men and women in our country focus on when getting married is mutual love. Parents can give some suggestions, but young people have to come up with the big ideas themselves.
So I still need to ask my little girl what she means in this matter.
In addition, if the young marshal does not really love his daughter and wants to have a good relationship with her, this marriage will not work."
Old Duke Xiao said with a smile: "There must be no problem with this. I raised Xiaowu by myself. If he really likes a girl, can I still not see it?
I stopped interfering in my children's marriages a long time ago, and Xiao Wu will be no exception.
There is also my third daughter-in-law, she is also a very liberal woman.
As long as Xiao Wu likes a girl, she will definitely treat her as her own daughter.
My daughter-in-law will definitely not be wronged when she marries into the Xiao family, and the city lord can rest assured about this."
Lord Chunyu really didn't know what to say.
The Xiao family will not treat Yi'er lightly. This does not need to be guaranteed by the old man, because that is what he originally thought. Otherwise, how could he have taken a fancy to Xiao Xuan.
But Xiao Xuan really likes Yi'er?
Forgive his blindness, he really hasn't seen it so far.
Yi'er is a simple-minded girl who never speaks harshly to others.
But every time she meets him alone, she always scolds Xiao Xuan.
Putting aside some of the subtle feelings between men and women, if Xiao Xuan hadn't always had trouble with Yi'er, why would she be like this?
City Lord Chunyu could not pour cold water on Old Duke Xiao, so he could only say: "Old Duke, I actually have another concern about this marriage."
"City Lord, please speak."
"Since ancient times, emperors have never suspected whether their illness was serious.
The Xiao family holds a high position and is the mother of the queen. Not long ago, they were married to the Huan family, which also has a heavy military. Your eldest grandson-in-law must be very unhappy.
Although Ruoshui City is a small place, it is not without any strength.
If our two families get married again, will he still be able to sleep?"
Old Duke Xiao laughed heartily.
Chun Yulan is really an interesting person.
If he really had this concern, how could he choose Xiaowu as his son-in-law?
In the eyes of emperors of various countries, Weoshui City is a piece of fragrant fat.
Even if you can't take it back, you still want to have a good relationship, and it would be better if you can get married.
Last year, the princes of the Jin and Li Kingdoms went to Ruoshui City to propose marriage. Isn't this the reason?
Although His Majesty has never entertained the idea of marriage, he does not want this benefit unless proven.
Of course, there will definitely be suspicion.
"City Lord, I have been cautious and practical all my life, but today I want to be arrogant.
If even the marriage of my most beloved grandson depends on people’s faces, what’s the point of all my hard work over the past few decades?!”
Lord Chunyu was a man of temperament. After hearing his bold words, he felt his heart was filled with excitement.
"The old man said it well! If you work hard all your life and your children and grandchildren have to endure hardships, what's the point of your life!"
Old Duke Xiao came closer to him: "Old Ding, you abducted my granddaughter to Ruoshui City. You should give me a granddaughter-in-law in return, right?"
