Traveling through: The down-and-out beauty refuses to be cannon fodder

Fang Yuanzhi knelt on the ground and cried: "Father, after the new year, the Ministry of War will reschedule the appointment. Then you will find a position outside Beijing. Our whole family will leave the capital. My daughter must be honest and do her duty. What? Listen to the arrangement of parents!
The Xu family, let him go! "

Fang Li saw that Fang Yuanzhi, who was always smiling and bouncing around, was crying into tears, and he didn't know what to do.

With a long sigh, he asked Jiang to take Fang Yuanzhi back to his room to rest.

He had to take another look at his marriage with the Xu family.

……

As soon as Xu Chun returned home, he saw his parents preparing the bride price burden, and his heart warmed.

But Xu Xuan glared at him: "Evil barrier, don't come here!" He took Xu Chun to the study.

Xu Xuan made a speech about courtesy, integrity and shame, and scolded his head and face, but he didn't mention what he listened to in the corner last night.

This kind of embarrassing thing is rotten in the stomach, so save some face for the two juniors!
It's just that he still thinks that Xu Chun, who has always been steady, has lost his sense of proportion.

Xu Chun has a hard time.

It wasn't that he wanted to lose his sense of propriety, but the main reason was that he couldn't bear Fang Yuanzhi's sadness.

He also has some regrets.He knew that Yuan Zhi was too lively and enthusiastic, but he didn't calm down a bit and started messing around with her.

Seeing his father like this, he probably knew what happened last night.

It didn't matter to him, but after Yuan Zhi got married, she might be looked down upon for a while.

Xu Chun was scolded honestly, and planned to go to Fang's family to propose marriage after his old father had scolded enough.

It's just that before he could go out, Xu Pu, the lobby brother, came to the door.

He looked at the dowry burdens in the room, and asked knowingly, "What is this for?"

Huai'an replied respectfully: "Go to Fang's family to propose marriage."

Xu Pu's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly went to look for Xu Chun.

"Brother Chun, you can't marry a girl from the Fang family!"

Xu Chun's originally gentle face turned serious, and he stared at Xu Pu sharply: "Why did you say that, big brother?"

"Our family is attacking Hubu Shangshu Ma Ang in the court. If the Xu family and the Fang family marry, the Xu family will definitely become the focus of firepower for Huichang Hou's party! At that time, not only our Xu family, but also the elders of Shanglu Pavilion , will be implicated! Our layout over the years may all be in vain!"

Xu Chunman smiled nonchalantly: "If I don't marry her, the Xu family will not become a focus of firepower? The day our Jiangnan faction returns to court, there will be such a day! Why should we be afraid?!"

Xu Pu was a little angry at Xu Chun's indifference, and his voice was unavoidably high-pitched:
"Today is different! In the past, there was the Beiren faction rushing forward to be the leader! Now the Beiren faction is scattered, and the Jiangxi faction sits on the mountain to watch the tigers fight. Our Jiangnan faction has just returned to the court, and the strength is not enough to knock down the foreign relatives in one fell swoop. , at this time, it is really inappropriate to make more details and expose yourself!"

Xu Chun spread his hands and said, "Brother, you have a lot of children, and you have married a new sister-in-law again, which is enviable. I am very old, and it is time to marry a wife! You can't let me stay single forever! "

Xu Pu gritted his teeth: "Of course you can marry someone else. Even if you get married tomorrow, the elder brother will carry the sedan chair for you! It's just that this girl from the Fang family really can't do it! At least not right now!"

Xu Chun pulled his face: "How can it be possible? My son is on the way!"

This statement is of course a lie, but he also wanted to take this opportunity to express his opinion that the raw rice has been cooked, so he must marry him!
Xu Pu's face changed drastically, but he didn't say anything, but said to Xu Chun: "Come with me!"

Xu Chun is not afraid of Xu Pu making a fuss.In terms of black means, he knows much more than his cousin!

If the cousin is a white lotus that emerges from the mud but is not stained, he is the mud that provides nutrients to the lotus, removes obstacles for the lotus, and does all kinds of dirty work.

For so many years, he has never made any request to the family. He has been working hard and throwing his head and blood without hesitation. Now there is only a small and reasonable request of getting a wife, but the family does not agree? !
Xu Pu took Xu Chun out of the house, went up the street, turned seven turns and eight turns, walked for less than half an hour, and came to a bustling street market.

Because it is the first day of the new year, there are not too many pedestrians on the street.

Xu Pu took Xu Chun into a brush and ink book shop.

There were two people in the shop sorting out the goods, one was a woman in her forties, she still had a charm, and her clothes were plain.

The other one is a young man in his twenties, with a calm and quiet demeanor, holding a book and reading it intently.

When the woman saw Xu Pu coming in, she just nodded, "You're here" and went on her own.

Xu Pu just took Xu Chun around, picked up two books, paid the money, and left.

The two returned to Xu's house.

Xu Chun didn't say a word, and watched Xu Pu's performance with cold eyes.

Xu Pu waited for the servant to serve tea, took a long sip, sighed, and said: "Back then, I was as young and vigorous as you, and I would not marry unless she was the only one."

Xu Chun suddenly understood that the woman in the pen, ink and book shop was the "she" Xu Pu was talking about.

"As a result, her family was ruined, and she was sold into a brothel... Although I redeemed her, she refused to believe me anymore... Some things don't happen just because of your wishful thinking. Even if you love each other , if the general environment does not allow it, it will be difficult to become a married couple after all."

"You don't need to consider our Xu family, but have you ever thought about the Fang family? With the strength of the Fang family now, can it withstand the full blow of the relative party?"

"You married her and got what you wanted. But if something happens to the Fang family, can she make peace with you? Your parents have lived like enemies for more than [-] years, and you want to live like your parents for the rest of your life?"

Xu Chun's eyes darkened.

After a while, he said, "I won't be an official anymore, I'll take her far away!"

Xu Pu hated iron but steel: "Joke! You have so many enemies! If you break away from the family, once the enemies find out, what good fruit will you two have?!"

"It's a big deal to become a pair of desperate mandarin ducks, but it's better than being apart!"

Xu Pu didn't speak, but put his hands on his eyebrows to cover his eyes, but his fingers trembled slightly.

After a long while, Xu Pu said: "When your sister-in-law first left, I thought so too. But I have old parents, young children and orphans, and the Xu family. I am a man, and I should have my own family. Responsible. The daughters of the Li family and the daughters of the Sun family are just tools.

Only with complete power and absolute power can one be qualified to say no.

Our Xu family doesn't have the strength to say no. "

The first time Xu Chun saw his upright cousin crying, he felt a little emotional and didn't know what to say for a moment.

He is considered a serious person on weekdays, but compared to his cousin, he is a child.

As the eldest son of the family, my cousin looks very glorious, but in fact, he has a lot more burdens than others.

The art of politics lies in compromise.

Give up some, gain others.

He, Xu Chun, has given up a lot, and now the only thing he refuses to give up is the little girl who called his name while running along the river bank, the little girl who ignited his hope of life.

Xu Chun was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Brother, I can agree to marry later, but my wife can only be a girl from the Fang family."
