(twenty-three)
It was as if the question just now had exhausted all her courage.
Be honest and aboveboard.
Li Bai was stunned not because of his appearance, but because of the strange feeling in his heart.
Like weeds growing wildly, the fields are instantly covered.
This feeling was very similar to when he faced the eloquent Ah Yue more than ten years ago.
Feeling guilty and short of breath.
There is also guilt and sourness.
There was no reason for this feeling, but it gripped his heart tightly, making him unable to look away.
Why?
First it was Ah Yue, and then the little lady of the Xu family.
The guilt that kept spreading in his heart was like a river, making him breathless.
If Sunge were here, he would definitely be able to clear up Li Bai's doubts.
Li Yueyuan's fiancé died when he went to Shu with Li Bai. Li Yueyuan remained unmarried and stayed at home to serve his parents and was lonely all his life.
The Xu family withstood the pressure from the Xu family and gave Li Bai, his son-in-law, the greatest freedom and support.
Li Bai traveled abroad for many years and rarely returned home.
Livelihood, money, children, and even the contempt of the people in the clan are all borne by the Xu family alone.
Ten years later, in the prime of life, Xu, who was born into a well-known family, passed away.
Even if Li Bai is free and easy again, he must be appreciated.
Li Bai fixedly looked at Mrs. Xu, his mind turning over and over again.
This debt seems to be slightly different from Ah Yue's back then.
Facing Xu, he subconsciously wanted to escape.
It seems that if you let it go unchecked, it will be an inevitable tragedy.
Whether it's to him or to Xu.
"Girl, Bai is not a good match."
"The girl is beautiful, talented and beautiful, and has a gentle temperament. She is a perfect match for the right person."
Li Bai held back the sourness in his heart, gritted his teeth, and refused.
Mrs. Xu paused, her bright eyes slightly red, half ashamed and angry, half sad.
"Why?"
There was a slight cry in Xu's voice, and her slender shoulders twitched slightly.
"Miss Xu, do you really not understand?"
Li Bai is cool and calm, with picturesque features and indescribable handsomeness.
If he had just responded, he would have truly humiliated himself.
The dissatisfaction and disgust in Xu Gong's words are beyond words, even if he recruits him as a son-in-law, let alone marrying Lady Xu to him.
The Xu family would not accept an uncle who was the son of a businessman and had no official position.
And he didn't want to become a son-in-law.
Xu Gong wanted to think about the Xu family, and he wanted to think about Ah Yue.
He can be free and arrogant, poetry and wine, but he can never turn a blind eye to Ah Yue's hard work.
All efforts should be two-way.
Under the influence of Ah Yue's words and deeds day after day, he finally changed somewhat.
You can be naive, but you can't be ridiculously naive.
Mrs. Xu froze on the spot, tears falling heavily, and allowed Li Bai's figure to disappear, but did not speak again.
How could a woman who grew up in a wealthy official family not know this?
Father Xu's expression was complicated and his lips moved.
Just reading the self-recommendation letter, he felt that Li Bai was an arrogant and conceited young man who didn't know the heights of the world.
Such a person would get burned if he made any mistakes as an official, so he did not intend to recommend him.
But that simple sentence just now caused a slight change in his perception.
This is a rare and transparent person.
Having seen through the world, he is still uninhibited and casual, uncompromising, stubborn and straightforward, magnanimous and unrestrained.
Ask yourself, this kind of temperament is worthy of praise.
However, it was this temperament that doomed Li Bai's career to failure.
Even if someone recommends it, it will be difficult.
Officialdom has no room for such sharp and transparent people.
It is absolutely impossible for a daughter of the Xu family to marry a businessman.
"As a father, I will carefully choose a marriage for you."
"Li Bai, it's not suitable for you, nor is it suitable for the Xu family."
This kind of heartache is as high as the sky, and being a son-in-law is not a good choice.
Unless he can use the power of the Xu family to stop Li Bai's official career and let Li Bai live in peace with his family, he will have to be in constant fear all day long.
Being a minister is never that easy.
"Aye."
She is very happy with Li Bai.
Once you see it, you will never forget it.
In Anlu, she had never seen a man as dazzling as Li Bai, who made people's hearts flutter.
Regardless of talent, appearance, or character, they are all impeccable.
Although it is sad to be rejected today, it just proves that although Li Bai is straightforward and arrogant, he is by no means stupid.
Even if Li Bai has no fame, she is willing.
"Aye, what if he can't afford to pay for it?" Mrs. Xu asked unwillingly.
Xu's father sneered. He was so trapped by love that he couldn't see clearly.
"It's not just in case, it's just something he can afford."
"He is a talented man who is famous all over the south of the Yangtze River. He also has a younger brother, who is known as Young Master Mingyue in the world. He is the only one in Jinling City."
"The fact that he didn't mention it shows that he really doesn't want to."
"Just give up on this idea. He is not a caged bird. The Xu family cannot trap him."
"Unless you want to become a bitter couple with him."
Everyone who comes here looks calm and rational.
Once the marriage is successful, either Li Bai will be as depressed as a bird with broken wings, or his daughter will spend all her efforts in the empty house alone.
No amount of youthful joy can withstand the torture of long years.
To put it bluntly, his daughter was attracted by this bright and dazzling talent.
If Li Bai loses his aura, shrinks back to his home, and disappears from everyone, then where will the two of them go?
After all, Li Bai decisively rejected the marriage, and he was relieved from the bottom of his heart.
He has been an official for many years and has met countless people.
He did not want to forcefully cover Li Bai's pearl with sand.
Not to mention, Li Bai's younger brother Li Mingyue is not easy to get along with.
The number one knight in the world, a rising star in Jinling City, and the guest of countless officials.
Nowadays, things are happening in Yangzhou City.
"Don't get into trouble, and don't be resentful."
"It's your choice that you fall in love with him. It's also his choice that he refuses."
"I, the Xu family, will not do anything embarrassing."
Hearing this, Xu hid her face and left.
She knew everything, so how could she feel resentful.
Little did she know that Li Bai was incompatible with the Xu family.
Unless, unless she is willing to give up her status as a noble girl.
But, can she leave it behind?
She fell in love with Li Bai at first sight, but she was not pure and thorough enough.
If the identity of the daughter of the Xu family were discarded, she would be just an ordinary businessman's wife. She has been surrounded by rich people since she was a child. Can she really accept this gap?
Maybe it's like what Aye said, they will become resentful couples in the end.
Even though she knew everything, she still couldn't help but suffer.
After being so amazed, how should I treat others in the future?
Xu's tear-stained face was full of tangles, and her expressions kept changing.
Sun Ge, who was far away in Yangzhou City, received Li Bai's letter.
The letter told her that his visit to the Xu family was fruitless, and that he planned to stay in Anzhou to travel and find another way out.
No result?
Sun Ge looked at the handwriting on the letter. It was indeed Li Bai's handwriting, but how could it be fruitless?
Where is Xu?
The destined marriage ended so unexpectedly?
Can she say that she is ready to pay for the escort?
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Well, I still prefer Li Bai.
