The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 121 I Don't Recognize This Marriage.

Withered lotus, autumn wind, weeds, the joy of returning home is inadvertently washed away, Xiao Qinzhi sits in front of the desk, trying to hide the uneasiness in his heart, the tea slowly pours into his throat, the endless bitterness, this is also a young love one of the flavors.

Xiao Yunzhi's gentle eyes slowly flowed from brother's body, his memory was blurred, and he couldn't help but think of the first meeting with Hua Yanzhi at the Taihu Yaji, wasn't it just like what happened in front of him?

When an immature heart tries ignorant love for the first time, it will miss it out of hand, worry about gains and losses, can't help but think about it, look forward to the future, and have ruthless and endless worries.

Joy, pain, go hand in hand.

"Brother, no matter what happens, sister will support you." Xiao Yunzhi's gentle voice, like a dose of coolness poured into Xiao Qin's chest, the depression of the past few months gradually returned to silence with the coolness.

"Sister, I'm not a child anymore, I'll take care of it." Xiao Qinzhi got up and sat beside Xiao Yunzhi, leaning in his comfortable arms, smelling the faint fragrance of orchids, and unconsciously talked about The fun things with her, one after another, are still fresh in my memory, as if they just happened yesterday, and the memories are full of sweetness.

Xiao Yunzhi couldn't help stroking his younger brother's head, listening quietly, being amused from time to time, but every laugh was a continuation of sadness, and then he would say angrily: "You are really, she is a little lady, you And pretending to be a ghost to scare her."

"I didn't know at that time." Xiao Qinzhi's sweetness welled up in his heart, he smiled, he didn't notice anything strange about Ajie, and said again: "It was that time that I knew she was a woman."

"Meng Lang, don't allow it in the future." Xiao Yunzhi reprimanded softly, sliding his slender fingers over the black hair on Xiao Qin's head, every strand was pity.

"Hey, I carried her to the rice fields to watch fireflies." Xiao Qinzhi still recalled sweetly.

Xiao Yunzhi's beautiful eyes turned up, and she ran a glance.

"We. We were at Panasonic, and she kissed me." At this point, Xiao Qinzhi felt a little embarrassed.

"You must not tell others." Xiao Yunzhi hissed and reproached.

"Well, I'm not stupid." Xiao Qin said.

"Don't you look like a fool now?" Xiao Yunzhi covered his mouth and chuckled, hesitating, and then enlightened: "She obviously bid farewell to you that night, but it's a pity you couldn't see it in a daze, you What is it not to be a fool? I guess, maybe her family has urgent matters, and it’s hard to explain it for a while, but I haven’t written to you for only three or two months, and you are in a hurry, this is stupid again.”

"That's right! Look at my brain, why can't I see that she is saying goodbye?" Xiao Qinzhi rolled his eyes and patted his head in frustration.

"Now, just wait. If this marriage is predestined by heaven, then let it be predestined. What will happen tomorrow is unknown, so why worry about today's people?" Xiao Yunzhi thought.

Looking at brother immersed in fantasy, with happiness on his face, Xiao Yunzhi felt more and more distressed. There was one thing that he lingered in his mouth for a long time, but he couldn't explain it. He couldn't help thinking: "What a mistake, what if Brother, if you don't go to Wu County, you won't know that she is a woman, so that's fine."

Xiao Yunzhi was silent for a while, full of thoughts, without making a sound.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Qinzhi asked with his head raised.

"Brother, I have something that I need to tell you. After listening, don't be rash." Xiao Yunzhi said in a deep voice.

"En!" Xiao Qinzhi said.

"The Yan family wants to betroth Miss Yan to you." Xiao Yun said.

"Boom~" Xiao Qin's mind was filled with thunder and thunder, and he got up, with mixed emotions in his heart, and the irritability visible to the naked eye climbed up his face, and asked sternly: "Why don't I know? Who did it for me privately?" Lord, I deny this marriage."

"My mother and I know that you have your own ideas in your heart, so why would you go against your wishes and make decisions for you?" Xiao Yunzhi said in a daze.

"That's the patriarch, this old guy, I'll go argue with him, if his son doesn't want it, dare to force it to me, bully me when I'm young and dare not disobey his patriarch's name, right?" Xiao Qin's eyes were red with anger .

"Brother, don't be rude to the patriarch, and listen to me carefully." Xiao Yunzhi tugged at the lapel of his brother, preventing him from going out.

"He dared to make an engagement for me without my consent, and I have to salute him, what's the reason for that?" Xiao Qinzhi's stubborn temper came up, he gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, he would never bear this Tone.

"Listen to me, if you insist on going, I will never stop you." Xiao Yunzhi got up, opened his hands, and blocked the door, his face was determined, beyond doubt.

"Okay, Sister, tell me." Xiao Qinzhi was stopped and had no choice but to sit down angrily.

"It was proposed by the Yan family. Ten days ago, I asked the chief official Dai and the eighth aunt to tell, and the patriarch gave a reply a few days ago." Xiao Yunzhi said.

"If he refuses, it's over." Xiao Qinzhi said furiously.

"How can I refuse?" Xiao Yunzhi asked back with a cast of eyes.

"Naturally. Naturally, I used old-fashioned words to prevaricate, saying that I can't get married before my twenties. Isn't this an excuse ready?" Xiao Qinzhi said indignantly, his eyes widening.

Xiao Yunzhi shook his head, sighed, looked straight into Adi's eyes, and said: "This excuse can deceive yourself, but it can't deceive others, and it can't stop the good of the whole family. You should be very clear in your heart. .”

The theory of ghosts and gods, like this kind of tricks, the Yan family and other gentry people play it better than anyone else, and it is almost the same to deceive the low-level people. They only choose to believe when they need it, Xiao Qinzhi is silent.

"Brother, such things will happen sooner or later, don't you think about yourself?" Xiao Yun said.

"What should I reflect on? The eyes are on them, how can I stop them from seeing them?" Xiao Qinzhi retorted fiercely, his heart was very chaotic, and he tended to lose his calm thinking.

"The wood is beautiful in the forest, so it can't be wrong. You have changed your previous attitude this year, and the turning point is as big as Haiyan Heqing. It is enviable. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you outside, paying attention to your every move. You It can be seen that your literary fame has reached the first place in Wujin. If you go out and wave your arms now, I don’t know how many people who admire you will come to listen to you. When you have your current status, your marriage will not be up to you. Even if there is no Yan family today, there will be a Dai family in the future, maybe there will be a Diao family, can you reject them all outright?"

Faced with sister Du's soul questioning, Xiao Qinzhi was powerless to resist, the grievance in his heart was like a river that broke its embankment, filling his chest and continuing to fill his head, so that the whole person lost the courage to resist, slumped on the ground, dumbfounded. He asked in a daze, "Ke Ke. But isn't this what everyone wants to see?"

"Brother, you should know that when you become the hope of the family, you are no longer just yourself, you are the self in the heart of the whole family. The prosperity of a family requires constant sacrifices. It just so happens that this In a generation, you are the chosen one. Unless you can make up your mind, abandon some, and not be disturbed by the world, can you do it?" Xiao Yunzhi still hardened his heart no matter how much he couldn't bear it. Said.

How can this be done?

There are mothers, elder sisters, younger sisters, and brothers and uncles who grew up here. Xiao Qinzhi shook his head and fell into a painful entanglement.

"Don't blame the patriarch, he can't refuse. The matter of Jinling County's appointment has always been controlled by the Yan family. The Xiao family's children will have to rely on the Yan family in the future, and your younger brothers will have to rely on you. Which one?" I don't need to tell you which is more important, you know it."

"Then what should Ling Jiang and I do? We have agreed, what should I do? Sister, teach me, teach me quickly!" Xiao Qinzhi had never been so flustered before. The powerlessness of the family bond is a net under the rules of the whole society, so dense and thick that Xiao Qinzhi can't resist at all.

"Are you worth what she paid?" Xiao Yunzhi asked.

Xiao Qinzhi nodded heavily.

"Is she worth what you pay?" Xiao Yunzhi asked again
Xiao Qinzhi nodded without hesitation.

"Being engaged to Yan Shi on the fifteenth of next year, and getting married at the age of 20, you have five years to change your destiny. During these five years, the two of you will not be able to meet or communicate, but you will always be loyal and trust each other. Can you do it?"

"I can!" Xiao Qinzhi affirmed.

"What about her?" Xiao Yunzhi really couldn't bear to ask this question.

"She can definitely do it too." Xiao Qinzhi affirmed what he was completely unsure about.

"I really want to meet her, what kind of woman is she?" Xiao Yunzhi smiled wryly, helplessly, looking forward to
