There are many treasures in this country

"I'm engaged."

"She is the second young lady of Fu Jiashi's family. She is the first wife. The family has always been pampered. She is truly honorable."

"I heard that she is very beautiful, smart and capable. Although she has a bit of a temper, her flaws are not hidden. She is one of a kind."

As Shen Yan said this, Xiao Suo listened.

He said again: "The emperor can't find reason for such a person. I can only marry her and stop mentioning marriage. But don't worry, I won't really marry her. When the rumors pass, Princess Pingyang will marry her." If I get married, I will retire."

Xiao Suo let out an "um" and remained silent.Shen Yan couldn't help asking: "Are you angry, why don't you speak?"

"I was never angry." He said, "You are so thoughtful, I have nothing to live for. But according to you, such a person who can't even pick the emperor, why do you have a reason to divorce? If you offend Shi Don’t you make enemies? Besides, your repenting of the marriage will not make your daughter’s reputation tired, how can you live with your conscience!”

"You don't have to worry." Shen Yan pulled him up, held hands and said, "I know one secret, and I will be able to divorce the engagement in the future."

Xiao Suo winked at him, and listened to his explanation: "Before... the day you were thrown out of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, I went to Jingji Street to see you. At that time, Yan Jun was there, and there were many eyes and ears on the road, so I didn't dare to approach you .And, at that time, I had to pretend, endure, and deliberately alienate you."

When Xiao Suo heard about this for the first time today, he had mixed feelings in his heart.It turned out that Shen Yan was so kind to him, and he has been so kind to him since then.

He became more determined.

Shen Yan continued: "That day when Shi's family had a wedding, the west of the city was blocked. Later when I entered the palace, the emperor had doubts and asked me why I made a detour to Jingji Street. I just used this as an excuse."

"So what?" Xiao Suo didn't understand, what does this have to do with his divorce?

Shen Yan said: "Don't worry, listen to me slowly. The Shi family married a daughter that day, and the son-in-law is the grandson of the old man Zheng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites. This Shi family has two daughters, who are about the same age. The eldest daughter is a concubine, with an ordinary appearance. , who is cowardly and has little talent. The second daughter is the opposite, and everyone in Beijing knows her, and her reputation spreads all over the capital."

But the Zheng family chose not to have a second daughter, and instead married the eldest daughter from a concubine.

"It's reasonable for elder sister to get married first." Xiao Suo didn't think there was anything wrong.

"That's what you think!" Shen Yan sighed, and rubbed his fingers on his cheeks: "Everyone in this world worships the high and tramples the low, and they are extremely powerful. Two women of the same age, whoever cares about their sisters and sisters, are naturally the same. Pick Shu Zhenghe characters first."

Xiao Suo was not convinced, and murmured in a low voice: "Old Shangshu Zheng's family chose a concubine elder sister who was inferior in everything."

Shen Yan scratched the bridge of his nose with his index finger, and said: "This shows that there is something weird in it. After all, the marriage between the Zheng family and the Shi family is to take advantage of each other, so how could they give up the right and take the concubine! It is said that when we went to see each other, Zheng The family really has their eyes on Miss Shi Er."

"But later someone leaked the news, saying that the girl went to Samahan with her father to do business in the country when she was young. She encountered a heavy snowstorm and was frozen in the ice and snow for two days. She almost died. Although she was rescued later, she was rescued. One life, but because of the cold air invading the body, it will not be able to reproduce for the rest of its life."

Xiao Suo sighed: "This is really a fateful journey, the world's affairs are really uncertain."

"That's exactly what you said," Shen Yan nodded. "That's why the Zheng family didn't want her. The Shi family is rich and powerful, and they bribed all the insiders, so few people know the news. It's also a coincidence. Last time I went to old man Zheng's house to inquire about the fraud case in the examination room, I happened to eavesdrop on it, and I just overheard Old Man Zheng's son talking about this, and also said that he must never marry Miss Shi Er, otherwise he would not be able to pass on the family line."

Probably because of this, Shen Yan sent someone to Shi's house to discuss their marriage that day. Everyone like them didn't even have time to reply to such an important matter, so they agreed on the spot.

"So that's the case." Xiao Suo asked again: "Then do you want to use this as a reason to withdraw from the engagement? This reason violates the rule of seven, so naturally there is no reason why it cannot be withdrawn. But if this is the case, everyone in the capital will know Miss Shi Er She can't bear children, how should she deal with herself then? I'm afraid that in the future, no one will propose marriage again."

If this is the case, wouldn't Shen Yan be guilty!

"I have also considered this section, and I will not let this matter get out. At that time, I will talk to their family in private and ask them to propose a divorce to me. It is me who is so ashamed, and their family will at most be talked about once." If you are higher than the top, you can't see me as a warrior."

Even though he said that, he felt very sorry.Even though this matter does not hinder other people's reputation, how could one not be lonely if he was taken advantage of by others and liked for nothing, and it also involved privacy matters.

Xiao Suo understands Shen Yan, although he is aggressive, he is very clear in matters of human relationship, never willing to owe others half a penny, even when he was in the past, he would always say what you love and what you would like.

There is an abyss in the human heart, and Xiao Suo firmly believes that even if there are no consequences and no responsibility, bad things are absolutely unacceptable.Because I know who I am and what I have done.

In the dead of night, alone, your heart will consume you.

Now, in order to reject the emperor's proposed marriage, and especially for him, Shen Yan has to bear a lifetime of guilt. From now on, he can no longer look directly at himself, and there will always be a shadow in his heart.

How could Xiao Suo be willing to let him fall into the abyss, because he said with a smile: "Even so, the Shi family may not necessarily not annoy you, but they will still offend them. Actually, why do you bother? The princess has a noble status. If you marry her, you will have a bright future. There must be no limit. When the emperor chooses a match for the princess, the first thing he thinks of is you, what a great kindness this is!"

"In your life, without them, you must have others. You can't really not have a family. We are just comforting each other. There is no man in the world who doesn't have a group of wives and concubines and keeps a clean husband. This is nothing, The emperor likes you so much, so I don't want to propose marriage to you. The princess has a demeanor of heaven, she must be virtuous and virtuous, and she won't arrest you if she wants to come here."

Not to mention forcing the emperor to make concessions, how could he bear the consequences!

"I don't care, you really don't have to." Xiao Suo said again, "Besides, even if you don't start a family, I still want to start a family. There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and having no offspring is the biggest. I have to marry a wife and have children, otherwise I will be ashamed of Jiuquan. parents, even after a hundred years, they will have no face to face them."

Shen Yan's face became darker the more he heard it, he stood up "squeaky", and asked him in disbelief: "Are you serious?"

He really thinks so?

Xiao Suoyun smiled lightly: "How can this be a joke, it is naturally serious."

"You're lying!" Shen Yan sternly reprimanded, and then held his shoulders and confessed eagerly: "Before you said that you wanted to raise a child with me, why did you say that again today? Why are you not calling me?" Disobey the emperor's order? I'm not afraid, I'm really not afraid! Listen to me, it's really all right, the emperor won't do anything to me!"

"It's not for this." Xiao Suo avoided him lightly, and said with a smile: "What you said before was just a joke, why are you serious? I thought you knew that we were going to get married after all. But what's the matter It's important, as long as you and I have feelings, we can meet from time to time, just like now. Even if the relationship fades in the future, we will be separated without embarrassment or trouble, isn't it great? "

Shen Yan's face turned pale, and he staggered back two steps, his face full of ashes: "I didn't know, so you have such thoughts. So good, so chic, so thoughtful!"

Seeing his painful expression, Xiao Suo hurriedly pinched his leg, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with you, why are you angry? Isn't this well known, why is it hard to accept?"

"I don't know!" Shen Yan pushed him away and roared hoarsely, "I don't know, I don't accept it!"

He stepped forward, excitedly picked up Xiao Suo's collar: "What the hell, you—" But he had no choice but to loosen his fingers slowly.

Xiao Suo clearly saw the despair and anger in his eyes, but he only said: "Don't worry, think about what I said, it's actually not unreasonable. I will also consider what you said, okay?"

Hearing this, Shen Yan grabbed his hand suddenly, and immediately ignited hope again: "Okay, okay. You think about it carefully, think about it carefully, and definitely think about it! I don't want to just be friends with you, I want to marry you——No, I It means, I want to live with you in a fair and honest way, and we will never leave!"

After finally waiting for these words, he was not qualified to promise.

Xiao Suo's eyes couldn't help sour, and he said with all his might: "Okay, I will think about it. But it's not just me who thinks, you also think about it. In fact, there is nothing wrong with living the same way as the world. Most people choose the day, It's the easiest."

Shen Yan was afraid, and although he disagreed in his heart, he had to compromise on the surface, and said sullenly: "Okay, I think... think about it."

He sat back silently and remained silent for a while.Baoyu jumped onto the couch, walked back and forth between the two of them, calling out occasionally, but never got any response.

Xiao Suo got up and went to read the file in front of the desk to prepare for the test in a few days. He quietly followed Shen Yan from the corner of his eye, and saw that he was still sitting there slumped, lost in spirit, very careless.

But it turned out that it was so difficult.

Back then when he was forced to leave him, it was much more difficult than it is now.

During dinner at night, the atmosphere between the two suddenly changed. Usually, Shen Yan served Xiao Suo with food, but today it was the opposite.Every time Xiao Suo pinches, Shen Yan bows his head to take it, and keeps thanking him.

After dinner, the two of them still did their own thing, occasionally meeting their eyes, but they hurriedly avoided it.Shen Yan was a little uncomfortable going in and out, dodging around, for fear of embarrassing him again.

Finally, until bedtime, Shen Yan still stayed in the front hall drinking tea, touching this and looking at that for a while, it was clear that nothing happened, but it seemed that he was entangled in thousands of mundane things, and he didn't even care about sleeping up.

Xiao Suo waited for a while, and seeing that he didn't come, he undressed himself, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.Shen Yan didn't know if he heard the movement, so he stepped in immediately, looked at him who was "sleeping" quietly, and then lay softly outside.

As soon as Fang lay down, he heard the people around him say, "I thought you were still busy?"

"Ah, no, no..." Shen Yan was taken aback, and said falteringly: "I'm just, um... busy at random. I'm sleepy now, go to sleep."

"Sleep."

When you wake up, it's another day.
