The lights were dim and the breeze was starry. Master Ji Rong and three little guys were sitting around the fire, drinking light tea, and looking like they were walking up the steps until dawn.
Ji Rong was stunned for a moment. Thinking of the next story of Xu Yuanshu and Liu Yong, a sad feeling of helpless flowers falling suddenly emerged in his heart. He calmed down before continuing.
Xu Yuanshu and Liu Yong were created in heaven, a talented man and a beautiful woman.
But Liu Huan, the wealthy wife of Xu Cheng, the owner of Hushan Villa, did not agree to the marriage.
Just because Baihu Villa had promised a child marriage to the Zhou family in Huxiao County in the early years, and the people getting married were his eldest daughter Xu and Zhou's eldest son. Xu Yuanshu, Xu's eldest daughter, was naturally her.
Now, Xu's eldest daughter and Zhou's eldest son are both of marriageable age, and they are just short of three letters, six jobs, and ten miles of red beauties. To regret the marriage at this time is tantamount to a slap in the face of the Zhou family. Baihu Villa and the Zhou family came from Huxiao County together. The two officials were equally powerful and slapped the Zhou family in the face. He would not get any benefits from worshiping the Tiger Villa, and would also cause a lot of embarrassment.
Moreover, many wealthy families marry into each other, and the marriage must be from a well-matched family. This Liu Yong has neither fame nor family background. He is said to be from a wrong family. Why and what qualifications does he have to marry his own daughter?
Wouldn't it be better to join forces and compete with the Sun family in Sunjiang County, which is the dominant family in the north?
Therefore, not long after learning that his daughter and Liu Yong were flirting with each other, Liu Huan had a crush on Xu Cheng, hoping that Xu Cheng would take action to stop this 'evil relationship'.
Xu Cheng is not so serious about this. First of all, the Zhou family and the Xu family are incompatible with each other. It is the best choice to join forces. If not, it will not affect the status of Baihu Villa in the world. Secondly, Liu Yongshi’s real Zhiwu Realm is displayed there. The fact that a scholar can enter Zhiwu before the age of thirty shows Liu Yong’s talent. There is a great talent in the Zhiwu Realm sitting in the villa. For worshipers Tiger Villa is a good thing.
In Xu Cheng's view, marrying his daughter to Liu Yong is a real way of keeping strength in his pocket, rather than relying on marriage to obtain external forces that may betray him at any time.
Moreover, the children of Jianghu are originally about grudges and grudges, love and hate as they please, so why do they have so many worries and calculations!
But Xu Cheng, the owner of Hushan Villa, has a very common personality trait among Northeastern men. He is a strict wife, and Liu Huan basically makes the final decision on all matters in the family. Although he has various ideas, he can't stand his wife. A fierce face, sitting aside and saying nothing.
This is Xu Cheng's greatest support for his daughter.
Xu Yuanshu's mother Liu Huan also came from a well-known family and was very resolute in her work. After she made up her mind to break up the two, she immediately took action. First, she went to Xu Yuanshu again and again to express her attitude. Xu Yuanshu was also a strong and loyal woman, and she warned her mother a lot. refute.
After several final talks to no avail, in the end, Liu Huan even threatened Xu Yuanshu with severe family punishments such as being "expelled from the family, clearing out the family tree, and severing ties". Xu Yuanshu finally couldn't withstand her mother's offensive and found a suitable one. Taking the opportunity, after explaining the situation at home to Liu Yong, the two decided to complete the three years of work and enter the upper realm of immortality. In this way, the upper realm was in hand, and his mother Liu Huan was determined to look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face. Will agree.
Hard work paid off, Xu Yuanshu and Liu Yong studied hard behind closed doors, and with Xu Cheng's secret help, they took a large amount of elixirs that were beneficial to their cultivation. With the help of elixirs and understanding, they both successfully found the realm of immortality. That year, the popularity of Baihu Villa overwhelmed the entire northern Xinjiang, and wealthy squires came to pay their respects in an endless stream.
Everyone at that time agreed that as long as Xu Cheng, the owner of the village, worked a little, Baihu Villa would soon overwhelm the Zhou family and Sun family in the north and dominate the northern border.
It has to be said that although what Liu Yong has learned is not particularly suitable for politics, he is definitely a genius in certain fields. He can actually borrow words to enter Taoism and enter two realms in three years. When he found immortality, he was not yet 30 years old. He is eight or nine years younger than Liu Quansheng, who just sought immortality a few months ago. Judging from his age alone, he can be called a peerless genius.
I thought the love between the two was already certain, but her mother Liu Huan was still stubbornly unsure.
...
Liu Huan's reason is very simple and clear: Although officialdom and the world of politics are two completely different paths, in the final analysis they both have the same moral character. People born in both worlds attach great importance to face. You have torn my face away. That's like stabbing me in the ass with a knife, it's extremely humiliating!
Having said that, the Northern Territory has the final say whether the Han Dynasty is in chaos or not.
The territories of the Han Dynasty and Qin Dynasty are tens of millions of kilometers each. One-half of the long border between the two countries is an endless coastline, one-fourth is bordered by the Western Regions and the Pyu Yue countries, and the remaining one-quarter is nearly a thousand miles away. The border line is the area directly adjacent to the two countries.
Among the nine states of the Han Dynasty, Bozhou in the northeast, Muzhou in the north, and Fengzhou in the northwest, and the Qin Dynasty in the north, divided a quarter of the empire into three thirds.
Along the thousands of miles of border between the two countries, traps, fortresses, rivers, and the Great Wall are intertwined with spies, scouts, spies, and killers, and life-and-death duels are going on all the time.
Huxiao County and Sunjiang County, which are affiliated to Bozhou, are the two northernmost counties in Bozhou and share the border with the Qin Dynasty. As the first barrier for the Han Empire to defend the northeast, the marriage of the Xu family and the Zhou family shocked the entire country. Bozhou, even Bozhou Mu Changxia and the Jiang family that dominated Quzhou at the time sent special envoys to congratulate him, and the Xu family was in the limelight for a time.
It was precisely because of the strong alliance between the Zhou and Xu families and their complementary advantages that Sun Xiucheng, who was eyeing him in Sunjiang County, did not dare to eat the fat piece of Huxiao County in one go. The three families lived in peace for many years.
If I, the Xu family, cancel this engagement today, it will be equivalent to a slap in the face of the Zhou family. The next day, the Zhou family will definitely find an opportunity to stir up trouble with the Xu family.
If the Zhou family had not been engaged to break the contract, everything would have been easy to deal with. But now, people are about to give betrothal gifts, and my Xu family suddenly regrets it. Where can I put the face of the Zhou family?
The interest alliance between the two families will also fall apart with the breach of contract, and the three-legged situation of 'Wei, Shu, and Wu' will no longer exist.
What's even more fatal is that once the Zhou, Sun, and Xu families are at odds in the north and fall into civil strife, they will give the Great Qin Empire, which is eyeing the north, an opportunity to take advantage of it, and even let the Great Qin Empire directly send troops to attack Bozhou, causing Bozhou to The state fell.
According to Liu Huan's words: if the family is gone, then we are called family sinners; if the country is ruined because of the affair between children, we are called eternal sinners!
Liu Huan was born into an official family and has always been extremely sensitive to official affairs. Her analysis of the three forces in the northern border of the empire, her own strength, and internal and external situations is not without thoroughness.
At that time, if someone could have predicted the shocking storm between the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty thirty years later, perhaps everyone would admire Liu Huan's foresight, but at least, it was not then.
There is no regret medicine that can be bought in life and work.
...
In this world, there are many people who want to understand you, but very few people really understand you.
When Liu Huan prevented the handsome couple from getting married, all the Xu clan members, including her husband Xu Cheng, did not understand Liu Huan's various obstructions. They all felt that Liu Huan was too much. Unkind, insisting on breaking up a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water.
Liu Huan still insisted on his opinion. In desperation, he made a fool of himself and tried every means to lure Xu Yuanshu out. He secretly fed Xu Yuanshu some firewood and firewood, and sent Xu Yuanshu to the Zhou Mansion in a package.
Young Master Zhou was also extremely fierce and had no taboos. No one knew about this kid, so he took advantage of Xu Yuanshu's unconsciousness to attack Xu Yuanshu hard.
In order to make Liu Yong completely give up, Liu Huan went to the end, and when Zhou Dagongzi insisted on bowing, he specially compiled a farewell letter and sent someone to solemnly tell Liu Yong: Xu Yuanshu had secretly promised her heart and was dating Zhou. The eldest son is hooked and coupled.
Liu Yong believed that he and Xu Yuanshu were more in love than Jin. After receiving the letter, he naturally did not believe it and secretly went to Zhou Mansion to investigate. This played into Liu Huan's plan.
When Liu Yong saw the red gauze tent in the Zhou Mansion and heard the sound of jade breaking melons in the house, this romantic talent from the south of the Yangtze River thought he had been humiliated. He was so ashamed and angry that he abandoned his sword and ran away, never to return.
Speaking of this, Ji Rong sighed and said sadly, "Those who are in love have two minds, and those who love each other must decide. I am talking about Liu Yong and Xu Yuanshu!"
"I only heard that a married girl throws water away. This girl has not yet been married, so why is her mother already bent at the elbow? I have never seen such a mother!"
Qiao Miaoqing was the most temperamental. When she heard this, her eyebrows were narrowed, her lips were pursed tightly, and she burst into tears.
Liu Yi sensed this and came over, putting his arms around Qiao Miaoqing's shoulders. Perhaps it was a matter of course, and the little girl slipped into Liu Yi's arms and cried non-stop.
Hearing such a story that brought tears to the eyes, Yi Xian couldn't help but sob a little. He hugged Ji Rong and twitched slightly.
Ji Rong narrowed his eyes and smiled, patting Yi Xian's back with his big hand, his expression was very funny.
Dew white frost cold, the story continues.
Master Ji Rong calmed down and continued.
Liu Huan thought that after the rice was cooked, everything would be safe.
Unexpectedly, after waking up, Xu Yuanshu felt ashamed and angry. Chastity was a big deal. She raised her sword and went to find Zhou's eldest son to settle accounts. Liu Huan was unable to stop him and threatened to die before he stopped.
Xu Yuanshu was extremely strong-willed and wanted to make her own decision to reward Liu Yong, but Xu Cheng stopped her again.
Only the most intense and painful love can bring about the darkest shadow.
Her mother refused to take revenge, and her father refused to commit suicide. In desperation, Xu Yuanshu decided to travel thousands of miles to find her husband. She stole some precious secrets from Baihu Villa at night, and then went south to search for Liu Yong. At the Chuxiang Spring Festival Gala, the two finally met in Liuzhou Meet at Poyang Lake.
The woman has a golden hairpin and a pink face. The man understands her intention and feels pity for her. He asked the sky about his feelings. Liu Yongyong could not bear to watch Fang Chen go. Under the corridor of Toad Moon, the two got married, entangled with each other, and vowed to never be separated. .
After some planning, Xu Yuanshu and Liu Yong jointly established the Butterfly Chrysalis Gang, with Xu Yuanshu as the leader and Liu Yong as the chief of the Keqing Courtyard. The two agreed to stay together by the Poyang Lake until the end of their lives and spend their golden years together.
Some people died, but not completely...
