298 Marriage events
He then continued: "Your aunt and I are feeling happy. After all, Yun'er has also taken classes at the Yan clan school and met San Lang of the Yan clan. We know everything about it, so we can rest assured."
"The second brother and the second sister-in-law also took care of the etiquette and came here to ask our opinions. The elders all thought this marriage was a good one, so it was decided yesterday."
"Who would have thought that as soon as I told this girl the good news, she would make a fuss about breaking off the engagement. This morning, she and Bao'er stole two horses and were about to go to Yan's house. Your aunt and I heard the news
, I was scared to death, and I was busy preparing a carriage to chase him!"
"Okay!" Gongsun Yu spread his hands and said angrily: "In pursuit of these two unfilial descendants, I turned the tables and made your aunt suffer this crime at her age and almost lost half her life!"
Hearing her grandfather say this, Gongsun Yun felt sorry for her grandmother and felt so guilty that she couldn't hold back her tears and choked with tears.
Gongsun Yi raised his eyes, patted his sister to comfort him with one hand, clenched his other hand into a fist, and retorted loudly:
"Grandpa, that Sanlang of the Yan family is three years younger than my sister. He is only a little kid and can't speak clearly. How can he be my sister's husband? He is not worthy of Yun'er. Yun'er will marry her in the future.
Will endure hardship!"
Xu Yue was still digesting her little cousin's bravery, and when she heard her little cousin's words again, she suddenly understood.
This marriage is nothing more than political cooperation between adults.
Gongsun Yun is only twelve years old now. In modern times, she has just entered junior high school. She is about to get married, and she is marrying a strange boy who is three years younger than herself.
Xu Yue thought this was outrageous.
In fact, after Gongsun Yun turned ten, she stopped taking classes at the clan academy. The only person Xu Yue saw in the academy was Gongsun Yi.
Her little cousin would come to her from time to time and ask her to borrow some books, saying that he was taking them back to Gongsun Yun to read.
Xu Yue borrowed it every time, and also brought personal items with her. She mixed the enlightenment book on modern thought that was supposed to be shown to Boya and others among the miscellaneous notes and asked her little cousin to take it back.
Therefore, when she saw Gongsun Yun crying with tears streaming down her face, conflicting and preparing to compromise on the marriage, Xu Yue instantly realized that her cousin's actions today might have something to do with her.
Xu Yue remembered that the eldest sister of the second wife, Gongsun Ying, also got engaged, and it happened just a few months ago.
Cousin Gongsun An is now regarded as Gongsun Yue's younger brother. As an uncle, he was also involved in the marriage of his niece Gongsun Ying, and was deeply involved.
When Gongsun An arrived at Zhuangzi, he mentioned to Xu Yue that Gongsun Ying's betrothed was the second son of his elder brother's family, Su Ci, the prefect.
Xu Yue had met this second son in the academy. Not to mention his character, his talent and learning were just average, and he was just hanging around in the academy.
The most important thing is that he is not young anymore, in his mid-twenties, and is nine years older than Gongsun Ying. Xu Yue calls her uncle when she sees him, so there is a gap in seniority between the two.
But in this era, there seems to be less entanglement about seniority, and both parents can just think it’s appropriate.
As for Gongsun Ying, he had never met her fiancé before, so he calmly accepted her marriage.
With her in front, and looking at Gongsun Yun'er's courage to break off the engagement, the two girls have obviously different thoughts on their marriage issues.
Xu Yue has also met Sanlang of the Yan family, and she has seen all the children of the Yan family in the academy. Because she wears a man's attire and is a disciple of Yan Daru, she can come and go freely in the academy.
Occasionally she would visit the Yan family's Wubao, and the Yan family would treat her well.
Yan Jiasanlang is the youngest brother of Yan Min's mother. He is only nine years old now. When he met her while playing in the mud on the edge of the field, he even called her "Brother Xu."
The child is a good boy, but according to his generation, he is actually the uncle of his cousin Gongsun Yun!
Xu Yue shook her head fiercely, waved away the association brought by this terrible relationship, turned sideways and tentatively asked Gongsun Yu:
"Master Gu, is there any room for change in this marriage?"
Gongsun Yu looked solemn, "How can you joke about the important matter of marriage!"
Gongsun Yun was stunned, her tears stopped flowing, the sparkle in her eyes dimmed, and her whole person revealed a sense of despair.
When Gongsun Yi saw his sister's expression, he was unconvinced and wanted to stand up and fight for his sister. However, his mother Liu slapped him and shouted angrily:
"Are you really going to destroy your sister?"
Are you going to destroy your sister? Gongsun Yi heard this sentence no less than dozens of times, Grandma Yan and Grandma mentioned it repeatedly, and now even his mother said the same thing?
He helped his sister find a horse to get out of a marriage that her sister didn't like. How could he end up ruining her?
Gongsun Yi couldn't understand. The young man clenched his fists stubbornly and stared at his mother motionless, as if he wanted to eat someone, angrily expressing his incomprehension.
Xu Yue felt that the atmosphere was getting worse and worse, so she quickly got up and came to Mrs. Liu, grabbed the brother and sister, and took them to see her aunt.
The old man had already fallen asleep. Because the injured leg was on his calf, he could only sleep on his stomach. His sleep was not stable and he moved from time to time.
The brother and sister didn't dare to say anything, and squatted silently beside the bed for a long time, then followed Xu Yue out with guilt.
As soon as she left her aunt's courtyard, Gongsun Yun hugged Xu Yue, lay on her shoulders, and cried loudly. Her whole body was twitching, as if she had countless grievances that she wanted to vent.
Gongsun Yi had a slap on his face, and his eyes were red.
At this moment, the two young men felt that the only person in the world who could understand them was Xu Yue in front of them.
"Young lady, I don't want to get married..." Gongsun Yun said sadly with a cry in her voice.
Gongsun Yi: "If you don't want to, don't. Brother, let's run away with you. Let's go to Xu You's mother's house and let Xu Dalang guard the door. Even my father won't dare to break in!"
The corner of Xu Yue's mouth twitched slightly, and she thought to herself, have you ever asked me, the master, my opinion? Then you have to run to my house to hide.
As a mentally mature adult, Xu Yue couldn't really care about Gongsun Yi. She reminded him to get a basin of cold water to wipe his face, dug the crying Gongsun Yun out of his arms, and asked softly:
"Does my cousin not want to get married now, or does she not want to marry Yan Sanlang?"
Gongsun Yun sniffed, and in front of Xu Yue, she had no scruples like a lady, and choked up: "I don't even want to."
"I've seen Yan Saburo. He's not as tall as me. He's like a child. And... the husband I want is not like him. At least he must be like an older brother, tall and brave.
, is extraordinarily intelligent, can know what I think, and take into account what I think."
Xu Yue sighed helplessly, "The only one who can do this to my cousin is my younger cousin. Other men do not have such conditions to get along with my cousin and understand her. I know what you think and take into account what you think."
"The reality is that the marriage has been decided and the betrothal gift has been collected. My aunt, my aunt, and the two elders of the second wife, including your parents, will not change the result because of your disapproval, cousin."
