Let Me Pursue You Chapter 56

Yuan Yi raised his eyebrows straightly, took off his saber and put it on the table in front of him with a "snap", and said word by word: "Why do you ask for marriage?"

Lu Shiqing answered without hesitation: "Whatever she wants, I am willing and able to give. She first wants the Yuan family to be safe and sound, and I can deal with the court so that she can live a safe and secure life. Her second Second, I hope that the politics will be clear, and the world will be clean and clear. I would like to do my best to bring back a peaceful and prosperous world. Go back to the forest and be an idler in the mountains and rivers."

His tone was slow but solemn, and when he heard the end, Yuan Yizhi was slightly taken aback, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he slowly loosened his grip on the waist knife.

If the first two are what he believes that a man should do his best as a husband and minister, then the third is something that he never expected, and it seems absolutely unreasonable for Lu Shiqing to do it.

It has always been easy to hold power, difficult to keep power, and even more difficult to give up power.

At first, he thought that this young man who looked a little arrogant and arrogant might be planning to praise his daughter eloquently, express his love for him, and show off his self-cultivation and future, but he didn't expect him to say this Come on.

It seemed that all he wanted in his life was to give her everything she wanted.

And he really understood her, even as much as his father.

In this situation, it is impossible for Yuan Yizhi to remain unmoved. The burning anger in his heart gradually dissipated, and after a long time, he chose the upper seat and sat down, as if he was willing to give Lu Shiqing a chance to open his heart and talk, fisted his hands, propped his knees and said: "But if it is possible, I will I hope that the person she marries does not need to be rich or famous, but the simpler and more ordinary the better."

The implication is that Lu Shiqing obviously does not meet this point.

As if he had expected it long ago, he smiled lightly: "You also said 'if'. Just like the situation in the court today, the Yuan family can't be alone, and it's impossible for her to marry the so-called simple person in your mouth. Then, this Why can't people be me?"

It is true that Lu Shiqing is not simple, but at least he is not a member of the royal family.

Yuan Yizhi's eyes instantly became extremely sharp, and instead of answering, he asked: "The Yuan family can't be alone, and Lu Shilang is in a high position, so I'm afraid he can't get a swift retreat between the sage and the princes, right?"

"Of course." Lu Shiqing said without hesitation, "Lu doesn't plan to retire bravely. Whoever is worthy of the big job, I will support him. Looking at the royal family of the Great Zhou, you should see that such a person is the only one."

This is the old bottom that has been cleanly laid out.

Yuan Yi was silent for a long time after hearing this, and sighed: "Lu Shilang, I am grateful for your unreserved, and I have seen that you are bound to win. You are a politician who is good at words, knows how to read people's hearts, and is good at using reason. convincing, but I am a father."

"If today, you were talking to me about the grain harvest in southern Yunnan and the defense of the border, I might have already agreed to you. But this is not acceptable." He pointed to his ear, "It's about my little girl's life. As a father, I You can't listen, you have to see."

The corners of Lu Shiqing's lips were slightly curved, and he stood in front of him and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, His Highness the King of Nannan for your concession, today's words from you are my purpose."

Yuan Yizhi was taken aback by what he said, and seemed a little surprised.

He explained: "I want to marry her, but I'm not in a hurry. Here today, I won't spend a single soldier to convince you. It's enough to get a chance to prove it to you."

The reason why he was eager to tell Yuan Yi directly about his intention to marry was because he knew that the sage would definitely intervene in this marriage, and he was afraid that he would discuss it with the Yuan family soon. Once he explained one step later than the saint, even if he really wanted to marry Yuan Cixian, the Yuan family would find it hard to believe it.

He didn't like falling into that indefensible passivity.

While Lu Shiqing was thinking secretly in his heart, Yuan Yizhi was thinking, this young man is really amazing. This act of asking for relatives is like borrowing food from the army. Asking for a thousand stones, asking for a thousand stones, makes the food giver willing to give the food, but in turn feels owed to him.

Means, sincerity, courage, this person has everything.

Yuan Yi nodded straight, got up and lifted his saber, and said, "So, I hope Minister Lu will agree to my request."

"You say."

"I think, until the Yuan family is willing to accept this marriage, you should not meet with the little girl again. The little girl was inappropriate before, and it was because I, the father, couldn't discipline me well, but you should understand what I mean."

Lu Shiqing smiled: "I promise you."

"Farewell."

"I'll see you off."

Lu Shiqing sent Yuan Yi all the way out of the mansion, and when he came to the gate of the mansion, he saw Cao An rushing towards him, and asked him for instructions: "Mr. Lang, the Lord of Lancang County left some clothes on the mansion earlier, but by the way, please ask the King of Southern Dian to help him." She took it back?"

Yuan Yizhi's face turned cold suddenly.

Lu Shiqing acted as if suddenly realized, blinked twice quickly, and then replied: "No need, she said to stay here for her."

This is simply challenging the bottom line of a father.

After Lu Shiqing finished speaking, he acted as if nothing had happened, nodded and smiled at Yuan Yi, who was livid, and said, "Please go slowly."

Yuan Yizhi was so angry that his nose fluttered, and he almost gritted his teeth, but what could he do, it was his daughter who refused to leave the mansion, and he couldn't beat Lu Shiqing unreasonably to vent his anger. After all, the person standing opposite was not a common man, but an official of the imperial court.

He finally held the saber at his waist, and said word by word: "Good boy, just wait for me!"

At the same moment, Yuan Cixian who was in the carriage responded, hugged Feng Shi's arm tightly, and said nervously: "Mother, I seem to have suddenly felt Dad's anger, why don't we look back Bar."

She had talked to A Niang just now, and when she learned that they had gone home first, and heard that she had gone to the Lu Mansion, she hurried to Yongxingfang without even getting off the carriage, simply to arrest her.

Feng couldn't help laughing, tapped her forehead with his index finger, and whispered softly: "Your father is not a gangster, when did you mess around, are you so worried about that Minister Lu?"

Yuan Cixian put his head on her shoulder and muttered, "Of course I'm worried." If Dad beat him badly, and he came to Jiang's house another day, who would help her fix it.

Feng frowned and thought about it: "It's a handsome appearance, no wonder it fascinates us so much."

Yuan Cixian grinned: "I knew that Auntie is a good person. If that's the case, how about asking him to be your son-in-law?"

"Then see if he can't pass your father's test."

Yuan Cixian returned to Yuan's Mansion, and waited with her heart full of hearts. Finally, Yuan Yi went straight in and saw his livid face.

In the end, the answer he got was that Lu Shiqing had no intention of marrying her, and he had already made a promise to his father that he would no longer associate with her in the future.

Yuan Cixian said nothing. Instead of telling her to believe that Lu Shiqing didn't have the slightest affection for her, it is better to say that Father must be bullying others and forcing him to submit.

But her beauty can't beat the fist?

Yuan Cixian felt very frustrated, and wanted to go to Lu Shiqing to ask for clarification, but was ordered by Yuan Yizhi not to allow it. For several days, walls were climbed, windows jumped, and doors were squeezed. . In the end, he could only accept the cruel fact: Lu Shiqing really succumbed to his father's despotic power.

Otherwise, how could so many days have passed without giving her any news.

Yuan Cixian's heart was roaring. It took her more than half a year to get the person, but she was scared away by her father. Still not a real father! Can you still be a good father and daughter!

She cried and mourned her face for several days in a row, and finally one day, she heard that the sage invited her father into the palace to discuss matters, and she came back to life. A black carriage came slowly and stopped in front of her.

Subconsciously, she felt that the carriage looked familiar, so she stopped, only to see an acquaintance who was not an acquaintance getting out of it.

It was Xu Shan who had never been seen again in Yongxingfang.

She was slightly taken aback, looked around a few times, and hurriedly welcomed him in to avoid being followed, and asked nervously, "Why is Mr. here?" In her impression, Xu Shan had never visited so suddenly, and she was afraid that he was in a hurry.

Lu Shiqing stared at her for a while, then sighed secretly. He didn't want Xu Shan to come, but he agreed to Yuan Yizhi and would not have any contact with her for a short time, so Xu Shan had to do what Lu Shiqing couldn't do. It's just that if you pick Yuan Yizhi's life in the mansion, there will be many risks. As soon as he heard that the sage had called him into the palace, he hurried to Shengyefang.

It didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to see her.

Yuan Cixian didn't know, but in January when the two of them hadn't seen each other, he would often deliberately go around Shengyefang, and when he arrived at the gate of Yuan Mansion, he would lift the curtain to see what kind of snow horse she and Yuan Yu had made. , and then draw it down. Those paintings are piled up in his study, and there is already a thick stack.

Lu Shiqing restrained his daydreams, made a false voice, and found an excuse to answer her words: "It was His Highness Six who ordered Xu to bring a message to the county magistrate."

As soon as Yuan Cixian heard that he really had something important to do, she ignored her schedule and hurriedly invited him to the study, sat down face to face with him, and beckoned him to talk.

Only then did Lu Shiqing slowly say: "Your Highness said, thank the county lord for reminding him to pay attention to the Jiang family at Wangji Temple last time."

Yuan Cixian was taken aback for a moment before remembering that there was such a thing. Seeing that he stopped talking, she asked anxiously, "And then?"

Then? Then there is no more.

Lu Shiqing shook his head: "It's just this sentence."

Yuan Cixian was almost fuming with anger. She missed the opportunity to find Lu Shiqing, just to hear Xu Shan say thank you for Zheng Zhuo? Who wants him to thank you!

She pulled her face together with her heart, looking like she wanted to cry but had no tears.

Lu Shiqing was stunned and panicked, and asked, "What's wrong with the county lord?"

Yuan Cixian pursed her mouth and said aggrievedly: "It's nothing, maybe it's God's will. I originally wanted to go to Lu Shilang while my father was away."

Lu Shiqing choked. She dared to think of going with him, she would have known that he would be honestly waiting in the Lu residence.

His heart was bleeding, but he restrained himself and said, "It's Xu who came at an inappropriate time. I'm really bothering you, so I'll take my leave."

Then hurry back to the house and wait for her.
