He Wei

What happened afterwards was as expected by Xue Chengyu, but Master Luo made some moves, and this move was not small.

In order not to let Xu Lang know the news, Xue Chengyu and Xue Chengyi's mouths have reached the strictest control state, and they have kept silent about Xu Lang's inquiries.

Compared with Xue Chengyu, Xue Chengyi can be more relaxed. Apart from dealing with inner anxiety, at least he doesn't need to act on the outside.

But Xue Chengyu is different, while maintaining his usual calm state, he must not show any sadness.

All of this is for Xu Lang, Xue Chengyu would not have suffered so much if he hadn't been worried that Xu Lang would be overwhelmed by it.

After an unhappy third year of junior high school, Xue Chengyu approached Master Xue to discuss the marriage between Xue Chengyi and Luo Shaoqing.

Master Xue still doesn't know about Master Luo's intention to marry his daughter to Xue Chengyu. He thinks that this matter should be settled as soon as possible. After reading the almanac, he found that the fifth and sixth days are good days. Since the fifth day still needs to go out, he simply set the date on the first day. six.

But just when Xue Chengyu thought that this matter could be settled smoothly, Master Luo on the other side also made his own calculations and took the first step. On the fifth day of the lunar new year, he brought a lot of gifts to the door to propose marriage.

At first, Master Xue thought it was Master Luo who was impatient to make an engagement for his daughter, but as they chatted, they felt more and more ambiguous about what they said.

Master Luo picked up the teacup on the table, sipped the tea, and said slowly: "The purpose of my visit this time is to find a good husband and son-in-law for Shaoqing. Brother Zhengyang's two young masters are both talented people. It's better to marry Shaoqing to Cheng Yu."

Master Xue was very surprised when he heard Master Luo say this: "What... what? Marrying Cheng Yu? Isn't that good?"

Seeing that Master Xue was so surprised that he seemed to disagree with this marriage, Master Luo couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, put down his teacup, and asked angrily, "Why, do you think my young master is not good enough for Cheng Yu?"

"It's not a question of whether you deserve it...this..." Master Xue was caught in a dilemma for a moment, he absolutely could not agree to this marriage.

"My family Chengyi's legs and feet are not good, and he always needs someone to take care of him. What's more, his legs have not recovered for almost four years. Although they have improved, they are not in a good condition. If he married Cheng Yu less, he would definitely suffer and suffer. Besides, Cheng Yi and Shao Qing are childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts, and have the same temperament, wouldn't it be better for Shao Qing to marry Cheng Yi?"

"I remember you once said that Cheng Yi's talent in business is higher than Cheng Yu's. I have taught and educated many children from rich families for so many years. People who are good at business have quick brains and spend a lot of time. There is no guarantee that Cheng Yi will only fall in love with one person in his life like you. Although it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, Shao Qing must be the main wife!"

Master Luo's words are well-founded, but these reasons are definitely not the reasons for Master Xue to agree to the marriage.

Luo Feng, the eldest son of the Luo family, originally had a happy life, but it was ruined because of Master Luo's hesitation.This time, Master Luo finally picked the wrong candidate when he was too fast, which is really ridiculous.

The quarrel in the front yard was clearly heard by Xue Chengyi who was hiding behind the screen, and he didn't know what to do at this moment.

He really wanted to rush out and kneel in front of Master Luo to tell his sincerity to Luo Shaoqing, and promise to be good to Luo Shaoqing for the rest of his life, but he was also worried that Master Luo would think that what he said was all jokes because of his young age.In desperation, he thought of Xue Chengyu, who had a delicate heart, and wanted to find some solutions from him.

Xue Chengyi hurriedly ran to Xue Chengyu's courtyard and yelled twice, but no one came out after waiting for a long time.

I thought it was because the voice was not loud enough and I didn't hear it, so I deliberately went to the door and knocked hard, but still no one responded, so Xue Chengyi pushed the door open and broke into the house in a fit of anger.

Xue Chengyi looked left and right, but no one was there, and finally found Xu Lang who was sleeping in the bedroom.

Xue Chengyi patted Xu Lang's face to wake him up, but Xu Lang didn't open his eyes after a long time, sleeping like a dead pig without even responding.

Such an abnormal Xu Lang aroused Xue Chengyi's curiosity. Usually Xu Lang would always get up early to take care of Xue Chengyu.

He woke up so late unless he had tossed and tossed again last night, but even if he was tired, he couldn't sleep like this to death. Could it be that he was drugged?

However, at this time, Xue Chengyi didn't care to think about who drugged Xu Lang. Since Xue Chengyu was not in his house, nor in the front yard and garden, he could only be in the kitchen now. When Xue Chengyi rushed to the kitchen, Xue Chengyu was really there. There.

At this time, Xue Chengyu was making dumplings calmly, as if the things in the front yard had nothing to do with him, with a look of tranquility.

"Brother, things have reached the point of imminent danger, why do you still have the time to make dumplings, think of a way!"

Xue Chengyu just raised his eyes to look at Xue Chengyi, the movement of his hands did not stop, and said while wrapping: "Today, on the fifth day of the lunar new year, according to the northern tradition, I want to eat dumplings. Xu Lang is greedy, so I will make them for him."

Xue Chengyi does not have Xue Chengyu's composure, and now he is about to go crazy. Facing such a brother, he can't help being a little angry, "Our father is about to tear himself apart with Master Luo because he refuses the marriage. Good! What's more, the incident is such a big mess, if the incident spreads, it will be bad for you and me, so you should quickly think of a way."

Xue Chengyu put down the rolled dough, and said seriously: "Master Luo's decision was wrong from the beginning, no matter whether he refused or agreed, the Xue family will not make any money, it is a loss-making business.

Master Luo's persistence is also bewitched by others, and the only plan for now is to procrastinate. If he can procrastinate for a day, it doesn't matter if he procrastinates after the first month and there are no so many taboos. "

Although Xue Chengyi also supported Xue Chengyu's procrastination method, he was a little worried after all, and asked: "But what if Shaoqing can't think about it? Shaoqing is not a submissive character. What if she hurts herself by looking for life and death?"

Xue Chengyu smiled slightly, the plan was already in his mind, and he said calmly: "I will write a letter to tell her my plan at that time, and then let her cooperate with my plan."

Speaking of this, Xue Chengyu paused, seemed to think of something again, and continued to comfort Xue Chengyi, "Chengyi, don't worry, sister Shaoqing is the one you love, and the elder brother will help you solve this matter no matter what method you use. Believe that your brother is right."

Xue Chengyi rubbed his hands together, and said very worriedly: "Let me believe that you are fine, but I am worried that Brother Hong will be unhappy if he finds out about this. It is difficult for Brother Hong not to know if the matter is such a big deal."

"Xiaohong, he..." Xue Chengyu lowered his eyes, his eyes were full of guilt, "I drugged him, and he won't wake up for at least five hours, in order to make up for him..."

Hearing this, Xue Chengyi burst out laughing, patted Xue Chengyu on the shoulder while laughing, and said: "To compensate him, you are making dumplings for him, right? Brother is an expert in elegance and taste, and I am ashamed of myself." .”

Xue Chengyu ignored Xue Chengyi's unscrupulous appearance, picked up the dough and continued to make dumplings, got up after making a plate of dumplings, picked up the crutches that were placed aside, and limped towards the front yard.

Seeing that Xue Chengyu was limping again, Xue Chengyi immediately rushed up to help him, and asked in surprise: "Brother, your leg is not sick again, is it?"

Xue Chengyu looked at Xue Chengyi with deep meaning, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "At the beginning, everyone avoided me because of my lameness, but now it is rumored that my legs and feet have recovered, so I will let them know that my legs will last forever. It's not going to get better." After speaking, he brushed off Xue Chengyi's hand, and went to the front yard alone.

The two masters in the front yard were surprised to see Xue Chengyu limping over, but it was Master Xue who reacted the most.Master Xue winked at Uncle Fu, wanting him to help Xue Chengyu, but Xue Chengyu refused.

Master Luo saw that Xue Chengyu's walking posture didn't seem to be pretending, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried, and asked with concern, "Is your nephew feeling unwell?"

Xue Chengyu bowed to the two of them, and replied apologetically: "Father, Uncle Luo, the weather is cold, the old illness has recurred, and the action is slow and I can't come to say hello to you in time. It is really the younger generation's fault. Please forgive me for spying on the two It's just that I absolutely cannot agree to this marriage."

When Master Luo heard this, he became even more angry, and asked scoldingly, "Why not? Don't you think my family is not good enough for you?"

"Uncle Luo, please listen to my advice. Xue Luo and his family are family friends, and Shaoqing comes from a famous family and is a lady of every family. I am the one who is not good enough for him."

Since the hard ones are not easy to use, then use soft ones, and Xue Chengyu is the best at persuading people with emotion and reason.

"To be honest, Uncle Luo, you have also seen my legs. When the weather is cold, I will get sick. The reason why I didn't visit your house on the first day of the Lunar New Year was because I thought my legs and feet were not good and I was embarrassed to drag my sick body to the door to provoke Uncle Luo. Unlucky, secondly, when Cheng Yi yearns for a long time, his sincerity can be learned from heaven and earth.

There is an old saying that it is better to demolish ten temples than to break a marriage. She has wronged her if she married me less. Besides, Cheng Yi will take over the Xue Family Chamber of Commerce in the future, not me. Now I just have the name of a patriarch No, the real power is in my father's hands. "

Master Luo seemed to be swayed by Xue Chengyu's words. At this time, Xue Chengyu decided to add more firewood to make the fire more prosperous. Let Shaoqing be widowed in the future, then I am willing to marry!"

"You!" Master Luo was so angry that he couldn't speak. He never thought that Xue Chengyu would say such a thing. In order to refuse the marriage and celebrate the New Year, he cursed himself and was not afraid of getting bad luck. Even though his decision was wrong, he It's also for the good of my daughter.

But Master Luo thought something was wrong after thinking about it. Xue Chengyu's health had always been bad, and there were rumors that he was good at Nanfeng.

If it is true that he doesn't live long as he said, wouldn't it be more harmful to his daughter to leave Luo Shaoqing to live alone one day?

Due to his face, Master Luo didn't directly express his thoughts, and walked away in a state of rage, leaving Master Xue and Xue Chengyu looking at each other in blank dismay.

Master Xue was worried about Xue Chengyu's body, so he hurriedly pulled Xue Chengyu into the back hall to feel his pulse.

Xue Chengyu's pulse condition was very stable, without any sign of weakness. When Master Xue saw Xue Chengyu's slightly upturned mouth, he knew that things were not that simple.

"You pretended to be quite like a kid, and almost fooled your father."

Xue Chengyu lowered his head and smiled, and said sternly: "Now it's just a tactic to slow down the army. Now it's the Chinese New Year and everyone doesn't want to hurt their peace. Now that Uncle Luo is angry, he won't mention the matter of marriage for a while, and he won't be sure when the year comes. But I have a complete plan, and I ask Dad to forgive me a lot."

"As long as you don't lift the roof of our house, you'll be fine. You can take care of yourself." Speaking of this, Master Xue sighed helplessly, and found that Xu Hong, who had always been behind Xue Chengyu, was gone. He asked curiously, "Why didn't you see me today?" Oh? Is he not feeling well?"

"He's been quite tired these days. I'm afraid he'll be overtired and let him sleep more. I made some dumplings in the kitchen, and I'll try my cooking in the evening?"

Master Xue knew that this dumpling was not specially made for him, but because Xu Lang took advantage of it, so he nodded in agreement.

Xue Chengyu was too nice to Xu Hong, which made him even a father feel jealous.
