Tang Songnian couldn't hide his surprise, he never thought he would say such a thing.
However, although he expressed his sincerity in asking for marriage, Baoya was his only daughter, and she had just turned fifteen. He was not happy to have her marriage arranged so early.
Furthermore, Baoya had just turned 15 years old, and the wedding ceremony had not even been held yet, so this kid went to the door to ask for marriage. It can be seen that without knowing it, this kid has already set his sights on Baoya, only I'm afraid I've been secretly counting the days until Baoya's fifteenth birthday arrives.
When he thought that someone had been eyeing his daughter for the past few years, and even he was still bringing wolves into the room, he felt a little blocked.
"Sir..." He Shaoting saw that he had been silent, his face was not very good-looking, and he was both uneasy and a little nervous.
"General He, the young girl's age..." Tang Songnian spoke slowly, and before he could express his rejection, Tang Junyao's voice came in.
"Dad, it's time to take a break after being busy with business for so long." Tang Junyao walked in with a smile and a tea.
"Huh? Brother Ting is there too?" She put the refreshments on the round table, as if she had just noticed He Shaoting in the room, and said in surprise.
"Baoya." He Shaoting's uneasy heart suddenly fell back to reality, and his eyes softly called.
Ever since He'an Mansion returned to Beijing, he has been busy preparing for the Eastern Expedition.
When he was busy, he didn't feel anything, but when he was free, the traces of thoughts were like thousands of ants gnawing at his heart.
Tang Junyao pursed his lips and smiled at him, and the sweet and alluring little pear vortex was deeply revealed.
Tang Songnian coughed heavily, then glared at He Shaoting displeased, and then looked at his daughter who came close to him with a smile on his face.
"I'll give Daddy something to eat! Look, it's the white sugar cake I made by myself! My brother and mother said that my craftsmanship is getting better and better, even better than the cook in the house." Tang Junyao replied innocently , Speaking of the back, his tone could not hide his smugness.
Now that her skill in making white sugar cakes is ranked second in the house, no one dares to be the first.
When she mentioned the words 'white sugar cake', she glanced at He Shaoting intentionally or unintentionally.
He Shaoting naturally thought of the meaning of these three words, his eyes became softer, and a faint smile appeared on his lips involuntarily.
The transformation of their relationship started with the sugar cake of the little liar.
Tang Songnian was sensitive to the unusual atmosphere between the two, his face condensed, he cleared his throat and said, "Okay, everything has been delivered, you should go back."
Tang Junyao was looking at He Shaoting secretly, and naturally he didn't miss the big brocade box beside him, but he just didn't know what was inside. Now, hearing Tang Songnian's words that he obviously didn't want her to be present, although he responded obediently on the surface, he was even more curious about He Shaoting's intentions in his heart.
The atmosphere was a little weird when they came in just now, they were not talking about business, and the old man in her family was obviously a little unhappy, which was really rare for him, who has never been moody in front of people.
Tang Junyao really wanted to stay and listen to what they were talking about, but he didn't dare to go against Tang Songnian's intentions.
After walking a long distance, I was a little unwilling, so I quietly turned back on the same path, leaned to the window, and listened to the movement inside.
"General He, I understand what you think about the little girl. But, please forgive me for not agreeing to your request. Two years is neither long nor short, but for the girl's family, fifteen to seventeen years old , it is the best time to discuss relatives."
"There are hundreds of women in a family, and I'm not afraid of the general's jokes. My daughter from Tang, not to mention the entire capital, is also the first in the entire Daqi. Naturally, she should be the best man in the world."
"Although the general is young and promising, with excellent talent and character, his origin is unknown..." Tang Songnian paused for a moment, his eyes were somewhat meaningful.
"If the general's surname is He, he will have no six relatives, and his fate will be very hard; if the general's surname is Du, his family will be restless, and it is not a good match. Besides, filial piety is the first, and although the kindness of upbringing is great, the kindness of life is not enough. Forget. Outside the male lead, the general can pretend to be deaf and mute and ignore the disturbance in the family house; but the woman lives in the inner house all her life, and the relationship between people and kinship will accompany her throughout her life, but she cannot ignore it."
He Shaoting immediately understood that he was disgusting his biological father, Du Chengzhong's family.
He calmed down, met his gaze, and said sincerely: "I dare not hide from your lord, my surname has been He since the day I was born, and I will only be surnamed He in this life. The kindness of life cannot be forgotten. However, since ancient times, my father's kindness Filial piety, if the father is not kind and the son blindly obeys, it is foolish filial piety.
"The purpose of marrying a wife is to join hands with her and be with her for the rest of her life. Since she loves her and respects her, the husband and wife advance and retreat together. How can she be left alone to face difficulties? How can she be worried about other people's affairs."
"What's more, the grievances have already been cleared, and naturally there will be no more entanglements."
Tang Songnian heard that Du Chengzhong had been classified as 'another person' in his words, and heard him say that he was clear of both grievances and grievances. He knew that he was not a person without a target, and he understood that he had no intention of recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors. Although he shouldn't, he still secretly He breathed a sigh of relief, but his face didn't show at all.
"I understand what you mean. It's just a matter of the little girl's life, so you must be more cautious. You go back first, and only wait for me and Zhuojing to think about it." Tang Songnian didn't say it to death, but he didn't want to be so easy. Let him do it.
He Shaoting didn't think that he would agree at once. Hearing that, he got up and respectfully bowed to him as a junior, and then he left.
"Come in! It's been like a day, but there are no rules at all. It's not as sensible as when I was a child." After his figure completely disappeared, Tang Songnian said angrily.
Tang Junyao was stunned, knowing that he must have found out that he was eavesdropping, and suddenly felt a little guilty, but he quickly covered it up and pushed the door open with a smile.
"Daddy is getting smarter every day, and there is nothing in the world that can hide from you."
"Girl's house, what does it look like!" Tang Songnian glared at her.
Tang Junyao was not afraid of him at all, and leaned closer to him with a more drooling smile: "Dad, did Brother Ting come to ask for marriage?"
"You already know what else to ask? If I say no, do you believe it?" Tang Songnian's tone was somewhat helpless.
Without waiting for Tang Junyao to say anything, he couldn't help but tap her on the forehead: "You are not ashamed if you ask for one at a time!"
"There is nothing to be ashamed of when a man is married and a woman is married. Besides, it is a very shameful thing for a woman to have a man as good as Ting'er begging for marriage. Tuck it?" Tang Junyao was noncommittal, and her tone sounded a little smug.
Brother Ting said on the same day that he would come to the house to ask for her when she was married. Now, although her wedding ceremony has been postponed, he still came to the door when she was fifteen years old. It can be seen that he has been looking forward to the early arrival of this day, and it can be seen that he has a deep heart for himself.
Tang Songnian was annoyed: "It really is an outgoing girl, and my father is thinking about everything for you. I never thought that you girl would be hooked up early in the morning."
Seeing that he was really annoyed, Tang Junyao hurriedly smoothed his hair and refilled tea for him to please: "Don't be annoyed, Daddy, it's easy to hurt yourself when you get angry."
Facing such a pretty lady's smiling face, Tang Songnian couldn't let out his anger, but he was still a little unwilling: "Tell daddy honestly, is Brother Ting seducing you while you're ignorant?"
"Daddy said the opposite, I seduced him." Tang Junyao pursed his lips and smiled, a little smug.
Tang Songnian was choked up by her words and was speechless for a while.
"Dad, I know what you're worried about. But you don't even think about it, who am I? I'm the daughter of Tang Xiangye, how could I make myself suffer? Those things in the General Zhenyuan Mansion are not a big deal at all. Son! Whether Brother Ting recognizes Du Chengzhong in the future, it will not affect me in the slightest."
"Besides, there is nothing perfect in the world, if it is too perfect, even the gods will be jealous. Brother Ting's appearance is handsome, his character is good, his martial arts is high, and his future is still bright, which is enough to make people hate it. Rather than saying that his life experience was a drag on him, it was better to say that it fulfilled him, fulfilled his tranquility, and fulfilled his imperfection."
Tang Junyao grabbed his cuff and shook it coquettishly, speaking righteously.
Tang Songnian didn't lift his eyelids, he didn't even remember his eyes, and his heart was even more sour.
This girl hasn't married yet, and she has already started to help that He Shaoting to speak. When she does get married in the future, will her heart not completely go to that side
"But..." Tang Junyao changed her words, "but no matter how good Brother Ting is, he can't be as good as my father. It's not as good as my father's ability, nor as smart as my father, nor as good as my father's treatment of me."
Tang Songnian laughed angrily at her hypocritical words, and couldn't help but glared at her again.
Tang Junyao smiled and grabbed his cuff again and shook it straight: "Dad, you promise! Although these two years are the best period for girls to discuss relatives, these are all expensive and not too expensive, and there are already The best Tinger, what's the use of having more?"
"It's true that women's colleges don't stay, there is no girl like you in the world!" Tang Songnian sighed.
In all honesty, he did think that He Shaoting was a good candidate for a son-in-law. This child can be considered as he has grown up. Over the years, he has grown into an outstanding general who can stand alone step by step. Naturally, he knows what his temperament is.
On another level, this child and his pair of children have known each other since childhood, and their affection for each other is no less than that of others. In particular, his love for his daughter has been like this since he was a child. He sees all these things in his eyes, otherwise he will not let them communicate with each other.
Tang Junyao smiled at him more and more obediently. Out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the brocade box brought by He Shaoting, and finally couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is it?"
Tang Songnian slapped his forehead, oops, he forgot to ask that kid to take the things away.
He glanced at his daughter and saw her curious face, so he answered unhurriedly, "It may be a dowry or a dowry."
Maybe a dowry, maybe a dowry
Tang Junyao didn't know why, but he quickly grasped an important point of information, and immediately pursed his lips, and a happy and bright smile appeared on his face.
"Did Brother Ting bring it? Did Daddy agree?"
It's a dowry and a dowry. The old man is hard-mouthed, and he clearly agrees with it...
She covered her mouth and smiled secretly, her big eyes flickered and her eyes were extremely bright.
Tang Songnian couldn't see her being so happy that she was about to lose sight of Bei, and said with a stern face: "He said this himself, I don't agree."
Tang Junyao's brows and eyes curved, and he didn't take his words to heart.
Anyway, the old man is just tough.
But looking at Tang Songnian's unhappy face, she suddenly felt something, the smile on her face gradually faded, her forehead rested on his shoulder, and she whispered, "Daddy..."
"It's useless to call my father again, Tang Junyao, let me tell you, the girl's family is very expensive, and the marriage should not be hasty, once..." Tang Songnian was chattering endlessly, but when he heard her next words, he immediately dismissed it. The unfinished words were swallowed back.
"It's nice to be your daughter..." Tang Junyao whispered.
There was a warm current in Tang Songnian's heart that spread rapidly, it was warm and even had a sweet taste.
He worked hard to press the corners of his mouth that kept turning upwards, deliberately stern, and said loudly: "It's no use flattering!"
Tang Junyao was helpless, and seeing that he clearly used it a lot, but he was still stubborn, a little funny, and he just patted it more and more sweetly.
For example, 'Daddy is the best', 'Daddy is the best daddy in the world' and the like are insincere flattering remarks.
Tang Songnian still tried his best to maintain a serious appearance, but gradually he couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth that were turning upwards.
It's very good, talk more, talk more, although it's clumsy, but it's good words and true words.
When he returned to the main courtyard in the evening, Tang Songnian informed Nguyen of He Shaoting's visit.
Nguyen's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she clapped her palms like she woke up from a dream: "Yes! I can't think of it! Brother Ting is the perfect candidate."
Tang Songnian's face suddenly turned a bit ugly.
Ruan shi didn't pay attention and said happily, "Brother Ting and Baoya have known each other since childhood. When they were very young, they were able to take care of Baoya like a little adult, and their patience with Baoya was even more excellent. Baoya. She also likes to be with him when she urinates, she is obviously the most naughty little girl, no one will listen to her when she is crazy, but sometimes she can listen to Brother Jinting."
The more Nguyen said, the more she felt that this was really a perfect marriage. The two children were childhood sweethearts. They knew each other, but they were able to accommodate each other. Isn't that how husband and wife get along
"What is even more rare is Brother Ting's affection for Baoya. This time, he is also worried that while he is away from Beijing, we will book Baoya's marriage, so he is not at ease, so he will have today's move."
"But he was worried that if he had an emergency on the battlefield... He thought of everything comprehensively and thought about Baoya everywhere. This kind of intention is really rare."
Tang Song Young snorted, but was still stubborn: "If you want to marry my daughter, how can you do it without a lot of heart!"
Ruan looked at him with a smile in her eyes: "If you embarrass Brother Ting again, I'm afraid that the first one who doesn't depend on him will be Baoya."
When she didn't think about it earlier, she didn't realize anything, but now He Shaoting made it clear, and when she thought about her daughter's usual words and deeds, she realized that these little sons and daughters would only meet in the morning.
Tang Songnian felt quite uncomfortable.
Nguyen sighed and said, "If you come back alive, you will do everything you can to be hired; if something goes wrong, you will give your entire family fortune as a dowry. How many men in the world can think so well for their sweetheart?"
"Presumably even if we agree to him this time, he does not intend to make the marriage between the two families public."
Tang Songnian snorted again, but didn't say anything.
The so-called fan of the authorities, but He Shaoting never thought that with Tang Songnian's prudence and shrewdness, he did not ask him to take the things back on the spot, in fact, he had acquiesced in this marriage.
He only knew that Master Tang did not answer his request, so he was not at ease in betrothing his daughter to him. But he didn't know what else to do to reassure him. He only ran to Tang Mansion when he had time to ask him for permission to marry.
He is a person who is not good at words, let alone say good things. When he came to the door for the first time, he had already told his true words, and naturally he couldn't say anything else. He could only stare at Tang Songnian. , followed him closely.
Seeing that his tea was empty, he consciously helped him to refill it; when he noticed that he was about to take a seat, he easily wiped the dust off the stone bench. is silent.
Tang Songnian looked angry and funny, how did this clumsy and clumsy boy, the shrewd girl in his family like him
He Shaoting's foolish behavior fell into the eyes of Tang Huaizhou, Tang Huaimian and his brothers, and taught them to laugh so hard.
Tang Huaimian said while rubbing his stomach: "I never knew that General He had such a stupid side. I'm afraid that there will be no second one in the world who is begging for marriage like him."
Tang Huaizhou rubbed his cheeks, which hurt a little from laughing, and nodded in agreement.
"I'm a little worried. If they get married in the future, won't Brother Ting be bullied to death by the third sister?"
"No." Tang Huaizhou shook his head.
That bad girl is used to pretending, and the best thing is to deceive people, and to deceive people willingly, Mingli's bullying is impossible.
Although Tang Songnian had never clearly agreed to the marriage, and he couldn't help laughing at He Shaoting's silly behavior, he was more and more satisfied in his heart.
Originally a fierce tiger, now it will become a docile cat, but it is because he really moved his heart.
Tang Junyao took everything in his eyes, seeing someone who was obviously quite smart, but at this moment he became stupid, everyone could see that his old man had agreed to the marriage, but he couldn't see it, so he was empty. He came over and turned around the old man, which made people laugh when they saw it.
Finally, when Tang Songnian was not at home today, and when General He, who didn't know about it, came to the door again, she secretly pulled him aside and said angrily, "Fool, why are you here again?"
He Shaoting smiled, looking at the charming face that seemed to be both happy and resentful, and his heart was full of tenderness, but now he is still in the stage of investigation, and he understands Tang Songnian's love for his daughter, and he does not dare to get too close, just Said: "Bao Ya, I don't have much time to stay in the capital, and I will lead the army to go out on the third day of next month."
Before leaving, he must find a way to book the girl in front of him, and this is the only thing he can't worry about.
Tang Junyao was a little happy when he understood what he meant, but also a little worried.
After all, in his last life, he 'died from illness' on the way to the Eastern Expedition. What about this lifetime
Thinking of this, her heart suddenly twitched, and she subconsciously grabbed his cuff, even her face turned pale: "You must return safely!"
"Let me tell you, if you can't come back alive, I will marry you with all your property, and in the future, I will be my husband in my heart, and I will never think of you at all. The property that originally belonged to you will also be all in the future. It belongs to the son born to me and another man!"
He Shaoting's expression changed.
Obviously this is what he hopes, if he is gone, he hopes that another person will treat her well instead of him.
But at this moment, he really heard such words from her mouth, and when he thought about the scenes of her marrying another person and having children and loving him for a lifetime, he felt a heart-wrenching pain.
At this moment, he finally understood that in this matter, he was far from being as generous as he thought.
"How is it? You must know that I have always been a person who can say what I can do. If you think I'm like an infatuated woman, it's absolutely impossible to live in the memory of one person for the rest of your life. I'll find someone right away. The person who treats me better will give him everything I have, and I will never defend myself like a jade for you. I will treat him as my only one, I will wash my hands and make soup for him, and I will serve him... "
"Enough, don't say this anymore!" He Shaoting interrupted her in a low voice with a gloomy face.
Every word of hers was like a needle, stabbing him in his heart again and again, causing him to feel cold all over his body, and even more intense pain in his heart.
She handed it over to other men, washed her hands and made soup for other men, bore children for other men, and regarded other men as the only one...
It's so annoying! It got to the point where he doubted he would jump out of the grave with envy.
Tang Junyao kept his mouth shut, but his eyes were full of provocation, clearly showing a stubborn look of 'I will do it even if I don't say it'.
The veins on He Shaoting's forehead were beating frequently, and finally he could not hold back the anger in his heart. He grabbed her wrist and said in a hoarse voice, "Tang Junyao, you are my person in this life, and you are my ghost in death. Zheng, even if there is only one last breath left, I will climb back and marry you back!"
Tang Junyao smiled and nodded. What she wanted was his assurance that she would always put her life first.
