Chapter 175 Father's Wish

"You are so hesitant, do you still have secrets that you dare not tell?" Xu Huan glanced over.

Xu Yin hurriedly said: "No, my sister has already said everything, I have nothing to say."

"Oh." Xu Huan nodded, and asked again: "Are you sure?"

Xu Yin: "..." Suddenly, he became uncertain when asked.

While talking here, Xu Si came over to deliver soup.

She listened to the end of the sentence, and teased: "So you don't put Erzi Yan at ease so much. If he knows, he will be sad."

Surrounded by his father and sister making jokes, Xu Yin's face was a little hot: "It's obviously about my sister, why did it get around to me? I didn't avoid people about the second son of Yan, my sister knows everything about it."

"I don't know." Xu Si categorically denied, "You play together and kill thieves together, and I'm not there."

Xu Yin was speechless.

After Xu Huan finished drinking the soup, he said solemnly: "Ayin, the matter between you and Young Master Yan is not only related to yourself, but also to your sister, and even more to Nan Yuan, so father wants to ask clearly."

Hearing this, Xu Yin had no choice but to be serious, and replied: "Father, I know it in my heart. He said that this time he went out to inform his parents, so Duke Zhao should have given him a chance, but...we formed a partnership with Dongjiang. If we signed the alliance, I'm afraid there will be no follow-up."

"I'm not asking that."

Xu Yin was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, but saw his father looking at him with a smile: "Are you willing? If you choose, are you willing to marry far away in Tongyang?"

What this means... Her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help shouting: "Father!"

Xu Huan stretched out his hand, caressed the top of her head, and sighed: "My Ah Yin has grown so big!"

Xu Yin's heart ached when he heard that, his father in his previous life never had a chance to say these words.

She heard her father whispering softly: "You don't have to worry about alliances or non-alignments. You don't have to take it seriously when you are left to take over the family business. Since my father escaped from death this time, I have taken a dim view of inheritance. Our Xu family has been prosperous for only two generations. How can we have such a large family business? Who must inherit it? As a father, he is still young and strong, and it will not be a problem to work for another 20 years. After [-] years, who knows what will happen? It will be chaotic for a long time, and when the day is when the mountains and rivers are cleaned up, I am afraid there will be no family business that can be passed on."

Xu Yin was surprised when he heard that: "Father, you..."

After the demise of the Great Zhou, the situation was indeed different.The power was returned to the imperial court, and there were no more private soldiers and territories.It's just that the current accumulation still affects the redistribution of power. Some aristocratic families will decline, and some poor families will rise.

Xu Yin knows this, but it is difficult for someone who has not experienced it to see the future trend. She did not expect her father to be so transparent and see the future trend at a glance.

Xu Huan smiled: "So, it's not a big deal for all of you sisters to get married. Although A Ze is mediocre in intelligence, he has a simple and honest nature. He is enough for the Xu family to inherit."

"Father……"

Xu Huan paused for a moment, with a pensive expression on his face: "Of course, it's a troubled time, and we still need to strengthen our strength as much as possible in order to protect ourselves. In this way, in the future, we will have confidence. On the Dongjiang side, we must form an alliance. There, even if you are a father, you don’t want to be against each other. In this way, even if your sister is married to Dongjiang, the marriage in Zhaoguo’s mansion can still be discussed.”

Unexpectedly, his father thought so, Xu Yin was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Xu Si, and found that she was looking at him with a smile, and suddenly understood: "Sister, did you know what father thinks?"

Xu Si pursed her lips and smiled: "Father didn't say it clearly, but he knew about you and Young Master Yan, and he asked me to go to Dongjiang for a blind date, so I knew it."

Xu Yin turned his head and saw his father nodding his head with satisfaction. He couldn't help being a little angry: "You guys have a good understanding, but you kept it from me!"

Xu Huan laughed out loud, and said: "I didn't mean to hide it from you. It was indeed forced by the situation at that time, and I had to let Ah Si go to Dongjiang for a blind date. What's more, the king of Dongjiang and Duke Zhao didn't necessarily think so when he was a father. There is no need to say it in advance."

As I said before, Dongjiang wanted an ally, not a slap in the face, so why not Duke Zhao?If Yanling hadn't pursued Dongjiang, the matter would have been left alone, then Xu Huan would not have mentioned it.

But Yan Ling went, and Xu Si's blind date went well, so he wanted to work hard for his daughter.

Recruiting a son-in-law to inherit the family business, he can give up this.If you want both marriages to be successful, you need to communicate carefully with both parties to find a balance of interests.

"A Si, do you think the prince of Dongjiang has a chance to win the world?" Xu Huan turned his head and asked.

Xu Si thought about it seriously, and said: "Li's family is weak, and Dongjiang is too happy, he should not have such thoughts."

Xu Huan nodded slowly, and then looked at his second daughter: "I remember, father, you said that Duke Zhao has the ambition to be a green cloud."

Xu Yin should say: "The Yan family has both favorable geographical location and friendly people. When the time comes, they will be able to soar up the clouds."

"That's it." Xu Huan clapped his hands, "The Li family's seeking an alliance this time is for self-protection. If Nanyuan is used as a link to help each other in Guanzhong, they must be able to ask for it. As for Zhao Guogong..."

As long as Mrs. Li doesn't fight for the world with them, why wouldn't she be happy to have such an ally?

"But father, what about yourself?" Xu Yin raised his head and asked, "You don't need an heir, and don't you need to pursue your ambition?"

Xu Huan laughed and looked at his daughter lovingly: "The biggest wish of a father is that you sisters live happily ever after. As for the other things, there is no conflict with this. For example, being a qualified administrative officer, protecting the people of one side, or looking for Know the Lord, calm down the troubled times. So, don’t feel sorry, father is not sacrificing, he just put in a little more effort for each of us to be happy.”

However, how could Xu Yin not know that his father had to put in more effort than just a little.

"Father……"

Xu Si stretched out her arms to hug her younger sister, and said softly, "Ayin, you have to trust your father, and you have to trust your sister. Our family is one heart, and we can overcome any difficulties. You don't have to face it alone."

Xu Yin was shocked and looked up at her sister.

Xu Si returned her a comforting smile.

She blinked, almost crying.

Until this moment, after carrying the weight of two lifetimes, he finally let go.

"Sister..." she murmured, and buried herself in her sister's arms.

Yes, she is not alone now, she doesn't have to plan alone, she doesn't have to be tense all the time, shut herself in the memory, and taste loss and loneliness day and night.

The people she wants to protect will also do their best for her happiness.

"So, what's your answer?" Before Xu Yin could get out of the emotion, he saw his father looking at him narrowly, "Do you want to or not?"

　Think about the plot behind it.
