Chapter 152 Let’s see who will win
Tang Yuncang could see the reluctance from Tang Yixien's expression, but he just let it pass and didn't take it to heart at all.
When it comes to marriages between disciples of aristocratic families, it doesn't matter whether they are willing or not.
He took up the book and continued:
"The engagement letters and gifts from both families have arrived today. As a father, I don't need to explain the status of the Jin and Sheng families in the world of cultivation. Furthermore, the eldest sons of both families have reached the age to marry."
Tang Yuncang's tone of voice was filled with gentle dignity, which was very different from his previous coldness.
After this period of time, he became more patient and tolerant towards Tang Yixin.
But this marriage was inevitable for him.
"Father will give you two months to choose between the Jin and Sheng families. If you delay for too long, the harmony between the two families will be damaged."
After saying this, Tang Yuncang didn't say anything else, but just turned a page of the book coldly.
If an ordinary person heard what Tang Yuncang said, he would feel that there was no room for maneuver in this matter.
But Tang Yixin heard the key from these two sentences.
The main reason is that Sheng Qingye and Jin Xiaoxiao have reached the age of marriage. If he doesn't choose one, then the long run and many dreams may lead to the failure of the marriage.
Tang Yuncang also wanted to marry into these two families to consolidate the strength of the Tang family.
The key to the matter still lies with the Sheng family and the Jin family.
Things will be resolved if you take it slow. As long as the Sheng and Jin families refuse, Tang Yuncang will at least take it slow for a while.
"I understand, son." Tang Yixien saluted.
In the courtyard of Bilingfeng.
While Sheng Qingye was copying the Meditation Sutra that Tang Yixian had punished him with, he said to Jin Xiaoxiao beside him:
"Master Jin, don't tell me about the Jin family's betrothal proposal. You don't know."
This sounds light, but it carries a sharp edge.
"What's the matter? Master Sheng, do you think you don't have enough chances of winning? It's boring to have only one company dominate."
Jin Xiaoxiao knew Sheng Qingye's competitive spirit too well.
At this time, Xuan Yuran had already returned to the disciple's villa, and only the two of them were left in the pavilion.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Why do you have to compete with me for everything? Don't you have so many beauties? It's enough to change one a day. Why are you still thinking about Master?" Sheng Qingye wrote the stroke of the word "Jing" and said with a frown.
There is no such thing as a beautiful woman with him. Those are just rumors. Jin Xiaoxiao was too lazy to explain.
Jin Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, but just looked at the flowers and plants in the yard that were blown by the autumn wind with a calm and serious gaze.
He recalled a pendant that he and Sheng Qingye had both set their eyes on when they were little.
The pendant is carved into the shape of a sword and is a unique piece.
Both of them liked it very much. They argued for a long time about the pendant and even stopped talking for a while.
They were all young at that time, probably in their teens.
Later, the pendant eventually became their joint property.
She childishly carved both of their names on the small wooden pendant.
It has been kept in the Sheng family.
"I advise you not to waste your time. There are some things that cannot be accomplished with financial resources. You know, the disciples of the Sheng family have always valued martial arts."
Sheng Qingye did not stop copying the scriptures, and this was already the second time.
His handwriting is wild and bold, sharp and powerful enough to penetrate the paper.
This was the first time he heard Sheng Qingye talk about force.
Jin Xiaoxiao's heart couldn't help but move.
It seems that Sheng Qingye is extremely serious about his master.
Jin Xiaoxiao clenched her palms slightly, and said with a faint smile:
"A penny can make a hero fall. Don't underestimate the power of money. It can also kill people."
Fighting the war does not rely solely on the Sheng family.
Even if everyone in the Sheng family is made of iron, not everyone is made of iron.
The disciples need to eat, and their families also need to eat.
Pills and magic weapons also cost money.
When Sheng Qingye heard this, he paused his pen as he wrote the two words "don't fight".
He put down the pen in his hand and stood up.
On this autumn afternoon, the air exudes a bleak and restrained atmosphere. The autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves and whirls around in the yard.
Two tall, jade-like young men stood facing each other in the pavilion, staring at each other.
Calm and cold versus sharp and flamboyant.
It's like a low-key cheetah facing a powerful tiger.
"Okay, then let's see who wins." Sheng Qingye lowered his eyes and smiled, then sat back down and continued to write his punishment copy.
"Mr. Sheng, since your master has punished you, just take your time writing." Jin Xiaoxiao stood up, put away her fan, turned around and left.
The two began to compete secretly again.
This is something they have often performed since they were young. In the past, it was because they liked a small object or a magical instrument.
Now it’s Master.
In the evening, Jin Xiaoxiao sat alone in front of the window, drinking the oolong tea he brought from the Jin Mansion.
Autumn is the time to drink oolong tea.
He had just poured hot water into the teapot when there was a knock on the door.
His heart skipped a beat.
The person who came is Master.
He was very familiar with the sound of Tang Yixien knocking on the door.
There were three gentle knocks on the door, no more, no less.
Even at home, his father had never been so polite to him.
"Please come in." Jin Xiaoxiao stood up instinctively at this time.
Sure enough, in the afterglow, the master, dressed in a graceful white gown, pushed the door open and walked in.
As pure as jade, elegant and spotless.
The appearance of this master is so stunning that you never get tired of it. No matter when you see him, you will always be amazed.
"Master." Jin Xiaoxiao bowed slightly.
"Ah."
The two of them sat face to face at the Huanghuali wood table in front of the window.
This was the first time Tang Yixien walked into Jin Xiaoxiao's house. In his opinion, the furnishings in this room revealed one word everywhere: rich.
He is truly one of the richest second-generations in the book.
A rich second-generation playboy disciple like this should not be short of a Taoist partner, right?
He thought to himself.
So, the reason he came this time was, of course, to ask Jin Xiaoxiao to persuade his father to cancel the marriage.
According to the logic of the original book, his parents love him very much, so it should be feasible.
Tang Yixien's mind was calculating rapidly.
"Master, have some tea." Jin Xiaoxiao poured a cup of tea for Tang Yixien.
His heart was beating a little fast at this moment, and he suppressed his emotions.
He didn't understand why this happened.
Is it because he is alone with his master? This is too pathetic. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
"Thank you." Tang Yixin picked up the teacup with his fair fingers and took a sip slowly.
"The tea is good." He then put down the cup.
Jin Xiaoxiao immediately filled it up again.
Tang Yixin looked at the disciple opposite him who had a nonchalant expression on his face, and suddenly he didn't know how to start.
He asked his disciples not to marry him.
Is there anything more ridiculous in this world?
But fortunately, he has always been good at ideological work.
He said in a cold tone with a gentle tentativeness:
"Xiaoxiao, you didn't know about the Jin family's betrothal offer before, right?"
"Yes, disciple didn't know." Jin Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed and he said sincerely.
He guessed that his master came for this matter.
He had a faint smile on his lips that no one noticed.
If he hadn't been forced to marry his master, he wouldn't have come to him alone, right?
