He is worthy of being the leader of the young generation of Lishan Sword Sect, and he is worthy of the second law that Mr. Qiushan must rely on his wisdom. Gou Hanshi, who has never spoken, makes it difficult for his opponent to respond when he opens his mouth, because his words are between reasonable and unreasonable. But it is reasonable.
Chen Changsheng was silent for a moment, and he was ready to answer. However, just when he was about to speak, even if he had to endure the wind and rain that the whole world gave him, he still wanted to move forward. Like everyone else, he heard a voice coming from outside the hall. That sound of cranes.
Heming is generally called Heju.
The cry of cranes was clear and strong.
A white crane came out of the night, its body was as white as snow, and it landed on the ground of the main hall flutteringly, its neck turned slightly, its expression indifferent and arrogant.
Many people in the venue knew this crane, such as Xu Shiji, his face became even more ugly, such as the uncle and disciple of Shengnvfeng, they were a little nervous, such as Gou Hanshi and other disciples from Lishan, they I have seen this white crane several times outside my brother's hut.
Chen Changsheng also knew this white crane, but he hadn't seen it for several years. Looking at this white crane, he felt a little complicated.
This white crane came from the south and brought a letter from Xu Yourong.
…
…
After reading the letter, Mo Yu looked at the people in the hall, and saw that the place was completely quiet. She sighed softly and said, "That's it for tonight."
Discussions sounded in the hall, buzzing non-stop, a little disturbing, people were very surprised, they didn't know what was written in that letter, why Miss Mo Yu directly announced the end of the Ivy Banquet, Xiao Songgong said with a gloomy face: "This letter Is it inconvenient to disclose the content?"
Mo Yu raised her eyebrows slightly. She naturally supported the Southern Mission's marriage proposal, but after hearing the words of the elder Li Shan, she couldn't help feeling slightly annoyed. Anyway, that's all.
She handed the letter to King Chen Liu and ignored the matter.
King Chen Liu looked at the letter, and the expression on his face became a little exciting.
Then he began to read the letter in public, which was what the writer had requested.
The content of this letter is very simple, only a dozen or so lines, but the meaning to be expressed is very clear.
Contrary to what everyone in the hall imagined, although this letter came from the south, it did not come from the Holy Maiden Peak, because Xu Yourong was not at the Holy Maiden Peak. It turned out that she went to the South China Sea to practice hard in the South China Sea dozens of days ago. Calculating the time, it happened to be in the south Before the mission departs.
The words of Xu Yourong's letter were calm and indifferent. She respected everyone who participated in tonight's event, and expressed her gratitude to the elders of Shimen for going to the capital to propose marriage, because it represented the elders of Shimen's kind care for her. She sees it differently.
At the end of the first half of this letter, she didn't point out anything, but many people in the hall understood what she wanted to point out. She didn't know about the Southern Mission's coming to the capital to propose a marriage. In other words, the Southern Sect was doing Before this matter, she had not been consulted.
Many people's faces became a little ugly, some were relieved, in short, all kinds of wonderful things.
Yes, after all, marriage is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, the heaven and the earth, the relatives and the teachers, have nothing to do with the parties involved. It is true that ordinary people do not need a woman's consent to get engaged, but Xu Yourong is not an ordinary person, let alone someone said it before Such words.
People looked at Gou Hanshi with complicated eyes.
Tang Thirty-Six said mockingly: "So, this is what you call respect."
Gou Hanshi said earlier that Chen Changsheng should respect Xu Yourong's ideas, and should have a manly bearing.
However, the Southern sect sent someone to the capital to propose marriage without consulting Xu Yourong at all. Could this be respect
Gou Hanshi remained silent. He didn't know that Junior Sister Xu didn't know about the marriage proposal. He couldn't understand what the elders on the Saintess Peak were thinking, and he didn't understand why Junior Sister Xu sent Bai He to send such a letter. Could it be that she... really doesn't want to marry Senior Brother
No, that shouldn't be the case.
He wondered what was written in the second half of the letter.
Many people in the hall also had the same thought, and they all looked at the thin paper in King Chen Liu's hand.
In the second half of this letter, Xu Yourong did not show any anger or hatred. As I said before, the elders of the Shimen and relatives in the family arranged the marriage for her. No matter how you look at it, it can be understood as caring with love.
She is the reincarnation of the true phoenix, and is the best candidate for the next generation of southern saints. She has the talent and potential that countless people admire and respect. She can have more freedom and deserve more respect. That's why Gou Hanshi said such words. , so when she vaguely stated in the letter that she didn't know about the marriage proposal, everyone in the hall would react like that. But before she really grows up, she is still the lady of the East Imperial General's Mansion and a disciple of the Holy Maiden Peak.
She can put forward her own opinions on the arrangement of her relatives and teachers, but her attitude must be calm and respectful in front of the world, so that she is perfect in the eyes of the world. The reason for her calm.
However, the second half of this letter tells everyone directly that they are wrong.
Xu Yourong wrote very clearly in the letter that between her and Mr. Qiu Shan, there is only the friendship of the same family, the relationship of brother and sister.
She respects her senior brother, but she never thought of being with him.
She also wrote in the letter that she didn't know if it was too late, but whether it was too late or not, in short...
She will not marry.
…
…
A dozen or so jargons are very simple, and the meaning is very clear, but there is still a little bit of reason.
The people in the hall looked at the letter paper in King Chen Liu's hand, shocked and speechless.
Why? What is all this about? Why did she speak so calmly, so surely
This marriage was a marriage between the southern sect and the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was the collective will of the Holy Empress, the Pope, the Southern Saintess, and the Lishan Sword Sect. In the face of such a terrifying will, even if she was Xu Yourong, she would not What is the reason for the refusal
Xu Yourong used the last sentence of this letter to explain the whole continent.
This explanation is simple but irrefutable.
It was very similar to Chen Changsheng's previous explanation of why he objected to her engagement with Mr. Qiu Shan.
"Because I already have an engagement, and my fiancé's name is Chen Changsheng."
…
…
There was silence in the hall, and there was no sound.
No one believed Chen Changsheng's words before, and even if his marriage letter was confirmed to be true, no one really agreed with it until Bai He brought this letter and brought Xu Yourong's attitude. The man was slapped across the face.
Mo Yu had read this letter before, and thought silently, what does this damn girl want to do
There were stars shining in Luoluo's eyes, and she exclaimed, "As expected, Xu Yourong is really handsome...so handsome."
Chen Changsheng lowered his head slightly, looking at his own reflection on the gold bricks in the hall. Earlier, when King Chen Liu read this letter in public, following those words, his expression became more and more calm, and his mood became more and more relaxed. But there is a sense of loss that cannot be explained.
You obviously don't want to marry me, yet you wrote such a letter tonight, why on earth is this
At this moment, the white crane slowly walked up to him, stretched its neck and touched him affectionately.
Chen Changsheng raised his head, looked at Bai He and smiled, stretched out his hand to wrap his thin neck in his arms, and patted it lightly.
Looking at this scene, the people in the hall became even more silent.
People knew that this white crane had always been inseparable from Xu Yourong except for sending books thousands of miles away, and was extremely lonely and arrogant, but now it was so close to Chen Changsheng, so it could only show that Chen Changsheng and this white crane were old acquaintances, and very familiar.
Cranes are like this, let alone people
It turned out that what was said in that letter was true, it was not an excuse, nor was it because Xu Yourong respected his grandfather's last wish and was forced to accept this marriage.
She and this boy named Chen Changsheng might be the real childhood sweethearts.
"Childhood sweetheart? Love is stronger than gold?"
Tang Thirty-Six looked at Gou Hanshi and the people from the Southern Mission and said.
These are the words that Gou Han used to describe the relationship between Mr. Qiushan and Xu Yourong before.
Tang Thirty-Six's seemingly indifferent smile hides a lot of sarcasm and ridicule.
"I think it's self-indulgent?"
