MTL - Love Like the Galaxy-Chapter 74

After enough mouth addiction, Shao Shang Qiang pretended to be calm, washed and changed, and then suppressed the violent beating of his eyelids and decided to sleep.

But she is not a scheming veteran after all, she just spit out the gloom in her heart with her bravery and fearlessness, and then she quietly climbed up. . Being touched by the slightly painful bruises on her arms under the thin blanket, she was full of irritability, tangled in a bit of fear.

Ling Budo looks handsome and fair, but she has been very physically strong since she was a child. Sometimes he sees Shaoshang struggling to handle large pieces of wood, and he can help her break the piles with his hands. Therefore, he has always been very careful when getting along with Shao Shang, but when Ling Buxuan hugged her, he was obviously out of control, and almost squeezed the air out of her chest, not to mention the bruises left on her arms. .

So Shaoshang had a nightmare all night, like a replay of an old movie, repeatedly dreaming that Ling Budo held up the golden crow and red phoenix-like magic soldier and the gangster Split in half; then dreamed again that the corners of his beautiful pale red mouth were slightly curved, smiling as he took the sake from her—and then broke her wrist.

The next day, Ling Budo didn't come.

As a responsible troublemaker, Shaoshang dressed up and went to her parents' house that night to 'confess her crime'. All the words were spoken.

In fact, Cheng Shi and his wife heard Cheng Shun's old steward reporting the abnormality between his daughter and Ling Budo last night, but the couple didn't take it to heart, thinking it was just a flirtatious game between young lovers. Anyway, it ended with embracing in the end, and it's not a big deal if you think about it.

At this time, I heard the reason and knew what was important. The couple looked at each other with anxiety in their eyes.

"...Daughter made an assertion and proposed to Lord Ling to retire from her parents, and asked her parents to punish her." Shaoshang fell on the ground, his voice did not fluctuate.

& nbsp; If you want to, you must retreat! You are so ignorant, do you know how much trouble it will bring to your family?!"

Shao Shang stubbornly straightened his back: "Don't worry, Auntie, the family will not be involved. I have agreed with Master Ling, our Cheng family can't talk about this matter, we can only ask him to solve it on his own. "

"Be smart!" Mrs. Xiao was furious and slapped the case hard, "You don't even think about it, after you quit this marriage, what kind of good husband can you find! You have provoked a lot of enemies. Once you lose Ling Budo's protection, think about how many people will come to look for your bad luck in the future, won't you leave yourself a way out! You are a disobedient and unfilial obstacle, I saw it at the beginning That's right, you're going to cause big trouble for the family after all."

You can…”

"Okay!" Cheng Shi said solemnly, pressing his big palm on his wife's shoulder, indicating with his eyes, "You are in charge of the children in Su Ri, today's matter is up to me. Come on."

Mrs. Xiao turned her head angrily.

Cheng Shi looked at his daughter kneeling in the middle, with a cynical expression on his face, and sighed: "Curly, would you like to listen to your father?"

Shao Shang put down his pouting mouth and sat respectfully.

"There is nothing wrong with Ling Budo about this." Cheng Shi interrupted, "My father has seen you and him several times. Huan, you have expressed your admiration for him more than once - don't interrupt, no one is blind, even if it is not a relationship between a man and a woman, there is always admiration. You said that people's hearts are hot, and then people mention it to Wei father My dear, I also agreed. The marriage contract is ready, Ling Budoubt is wrong!"

Shao Shang couldn't sit still, and said anxiously: "I, I didn't say he was wrong, it's just that I'm really not a good match for him! The life I want to live is not like this! I want... want...

Cheng Shi waved his hand to stop his daughter from talking.

"When my father was young, I heard a story. There were three hunters who entered the mountain and met a spirit. He wants a lot of gold and silver jewelry to be the richest person in the world. Shan Ling said 'it's easy to manage'. The second hunter said that he wants supreme power and becomes the emperor of the world. Shan Ling said 'it's not difficult or difficult' The third hunter thought for a long time before saying that he hoped to do what he wanted to do in his lifetime, without being troubled by fetters, without being restrained by persecution. The mountain spirit was silent, and it took a long time to say, 'This matter is impossible to do'." Cheng Shi Finished in one breath.

Shao Shang slowly loosened his shoulders and thoughtfully.

Cheng Shi saw the change in her daughter's expression, and continued: "In this world, everyone wants to do what they want, but there are a few people who can do it. I'm afraid to give a big word to my father. It's a time when His Majesty, who is the most respected of the ninety-five, is powerless. Do you think you can be different? Even if you don't marry Ling Budo, will you be able to live the life you want?"

These words are simply deafening, and Shao Shang seems to be hit hard in the chest. She opened her mouth and closed it again. She couldn't argue, so she could only say with great effort, "I know what Father means. But things may not be so serious! Master Ling is so talented, he will definitely find a better match..."

Mrs. Xiao snorted coldly, Cheng Shi patted his wife to show consolation, and continued to his daughter: "Huo's loyalty is unparalleled, tragic and tragic than the He family, not to mention that Huo Hou is still His Majesty since he was a child. The righteous brother who grew up together, your majesty's full of guilt and comfort will eventually fall on Ling Wuxuan. Ling Budo is twenty-one this year, and he is still standing alone with his knees empty. Before you, there was no intention of marriage, Your Majesty How enthusiastic you are about this marriage now, can't you think of such a smart child?"

Shao Shang was anxious but unable to say: "Lord Ling will not put the blame on my family..." In fact, she herself is not sure.

Cheng Shi gave a wry smile, looked at her daughter's innocent and confident face, and said, "One, even if Ling Budo said he wanted to break off the marriage, last night he scolded the whole room for you. My guests, I’m covering you up in every possible way. Now that the guests haven’t sobered up, Ling Budo said that they want to break off the marriage, what do you think others will think!”

Shao Shang was in a panic, and there was a thin sweat on his forehead.

"Secondly, even if Ling does not doubt his words and conceals it properly. Curly, for my father, I will tell you that the most unreasonable thing in this world is parental love, and the most irresistible is Holy will. No matter how Ling Budo explains it, His Majesty will blame you in the end. Blame you for not being able to hold Ling Budo's heart, blame you for not being considerate and docile, blame you for making him feel lonely and widowed again. Do you still feel that you can't be involved at home now?"

Shao Shang was stunned, and rubbed his sleeves into a ball in a panic.

"Thirdly, you must be very proud of your remarks last night, forcing Ling Budo to break off the marriage on his own, but you don't have to worry about it. But you dare to manipulate Ling Budo so that he will break off the marriage. All the reasons are taken away, what is the reason, isn't it just because Ling Budo likes you! You are not a gentleman. If Ling Budo is generous, it's okay to let it go; but if he is very resentful Hate, simply make things clear to Your Majesty, and then walk away, leaving you alone, will Your Majesty let our family go..." Comrade Old Cheng's voice trembled a little when he said this.

Shaoshang's hands trembled as she squeezed the sleeves of her robe tightly. She finally knew why she had a nightmare last night. Deep down in her heart, she vaguely knew that this matter was very dangerous, but she didn't want to admit it.

"How can a father not understand your intentions." Cheng Shi looked at his trembling daughter, and looked pity, "When a father is as old as you, I think day and night that I can be a The name is a ranger who is happy in the rivers and lakes. But if I leave home, I will be happy, but my parents are old, my younger brothers and sisters are young, and I am afraid that I will starve to death under the chaos of the army. In life, there is something to do and not to do. . So I can't go, and then just go all the way down..."

Shao Shang bit his lip, tears welling in his eyes.

Cheng Shi sighed: "It's not your fault either. As a father that day, you shouldn't be dazzled by grace and wealth, and with all the joy, he opened his mouth and agreed to the marriage..."

"How can you blame you for this!" Mrs. Xiao patted her knees and said heavily, "We just resigned from the Lou family, what excuse did you use to refuse Your Majesty?! Your daughter has no marriage contract. There is no filial piety in the family, and the Lingcheng family has no grudges in the past. You father and daughter have to talk about it. Your Majesty's words are sincere. How can we as ministers evade this marriage?! I'm used to being alone, and I don't like being controlled by Ling Busu, so I prefer Lou Yao, who can be pointed to by her!"

"Then it's your fault." Cheng Shi stroked his wife's back and said softly, "It was we who left Coil and slack in the role of discipline. She grew up alone for the past ten years. Da, no one has taught me well, and I have developed such a loner temperament, naturally I don’t care about my parents and brothers, it’s all our fault!”

Shao Shang’s tears were hazy, and he looked at Father Cheng vaguely, at a loss.

Cheng Shi reassured: "You don't need to worry too much, Your Majesty is a generous person, and he will not sack our family and exterminate our family just because the marriage of our adopted son is not successful..."

Shao Shang was startled, and hurriedly went to see Father Cheng. Seeing him bowing his head and sighing, he seemed to have suddenly aged a few years. She felt sad and cried, "But my father is talented..."

Mrs. Xiao snorted coldly: "According to her birth status, Your Majesty has a wealth of aristocratic families on the left, and Wu General Yanghou Jizun on the right. In the past, there were fellow villagers and clansmen who swore to follow him, and later the Daliao who was cast by heavy-lifting soldiers. Your father is talented, and His Majesty is willing to use it, but one more of him is not much, and one less of him is not much!”

Cheng Shi saw that her daughter was crying so much, and smiled: "Don't cry. Your mother and I are not people who are greedy for fame and wealth. At the beginning of the rebellion, I just wanted to keep the country safe and keep the family small. Wenzu. For more than 20 years, we have been fighting in blood and fire, and we have not died, and we have made some famous names, so we should be satisfied. The big deal is that we don't do this official, let's go back to our hometown and become Tian Sheweng. "

Shao Shang couldn't cry anymore, he was full of apologies.

She herself is not afraid to leave the capital, just go to the poor mountainous area to experience life. With Dad Cheng's prestige in the village, she can always transform into better living conditions. But these days, the Cheng family provides food and drink to herself and cares everywhere, and her return is to cut off the future of her father and brother?

"Yuyou, don't cry. You have said everything you want to say, and I'll see what Ling Budo has to say later." Cheng Shi sighed, "Aqing, you send the curl back, don't Made her cry. My wife and I have something to discuss."

Qing Li, who was guarding the door, nodded, stepped forward to help up the dazed Shaoshang, and walked out slowly.

When the two of them walked away, the angry Mrs. Xiao suddenly changed her face, beat her husband hard, and said angrily: "Why am I doing something wrong again, do it well! If I don't Come out first to scold Ling Ling, and you have been pretending to be stunned by the side?"

Cheng Shi no longer sighed and worried, he smiled and said: "Madam is majestic, she is not angry and majestic, and her aura is like a rainbow, how can I compare it... Besides, we are telling the truth. , there is no falsehood!" That is to add to the jealousy.

Mrs. Xiao nodded: "If you try to call your daughter and hate me, you have to scare her, so that she won't know the importance of it for the rest of her life, and she really thinks it's like a god!"

"Exactly!" Cheng Shi sighed, "I can't care whether Ling Budo can be your son-in-law or not, I just hope that he will restrain his temperament, and he will be so dictatorial in the future. It's hard to suffer."

After a while, Mrs. Xiao suddenly said: "You said, Ling Budoubt will really go to find His Majesty to withdraw from the relatives because of her reluctance."

Cheng Shi had a great headache: "Don't worry about it, wait for tomorrow. Just the temperament of curling and Ling Budoubt, if you really break off the marriage, it is not a bad thing, it is better than breaking off the marriage in the future!"

"Barrier?!" Mrs. Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. I can't imagine the days ahead.

…

Shao Shang returned to his residence, in a daze with tears in his eyes, and lay down to rest after washing and dressing like a wooden man.

Lying on the bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep, she groped and took out her beloved green bamboo flute from under the pillow, put on a thin silk satin pajama, and walked slowly to the window to sit down, blowing the air The music sounded, the flute sound was as thin as a breeze, hesitant and sad.

A few cicadas can be heard on the slightly chilly early summer night, and spring is finally over.

—No one proposed to her, but the marriage contract was established; she had to find a way to break up without officially starting a relationship. In a trance, she admitted with great difficulty that everything was different after all.

The ivory tower can't live for a lifetime, she can no longer be stubborn and self-righteous, there are a few people who can really live the life they want according to their own mind, not even gods.

Such as condensed fat, curling and bright, but containing and not letting go, cautious and clumsy.

Then, she sat in the room with big red and swollen eyes and waited quietly - before without an alarm clock, she could get up on time and never be late. Only petted children dare to act recklessly. These days, Cheng's family is too tolerant and comfortable towards her, which makes her lose her original vigilance. Different worlds have different rules of the game, she not only has to adapt, but also learn to use them without hindrance.

When the young merchant heard the report in the room, he laughed softly at himself, and was supported by his maid to board the vermilion and splendid palace carriage.

Cheng Shi and Mrs. Xiao led their servants and stood at the door to watch their daughter go on a long journey, until the distance was no longer visible, Cheng Shi snorted softly: "It's fine. This precious man-in-law, you and I still You have to continue to suffer."

Mrs. Xiao frowned without saying a word, always staring at the alley where the palace chariots disappeared, always feeling that she sent her daughter to a very inappropriate place. But she had no choice.
