Liu Yu was suddenly startled, turned around, and looked at the beautiful woman opposite. He saw a faint smile on her face, like a spring breeze, but the look in her eyes that looked at him was completely gone.
The contempt and condescending arrogance gave him an indescribable sense of intimacy. This kind of feeling has only been seen in Xiao Wenshou's eyes. It is a kind of maternal love.
Liu Yu said in disbelief: "What, what does this mean? Madam, you?"
Xie Daoyun said seriously: "Yes, Xiaoyu, these words just now are just to test you. Since you want to marry Miaoyin, then I, the future mother-in-law, must see with my own eyes what my future uncle is like."
Xie Xuan's laughter sounded from behind the wall. Following the sound of a mechanism, the wall on the opposite side suddenly flipped over. He was dressed in scholar's casual clothes, just like when he first came to Jingkou. He had a long beard and chest, plump and handsome.
Like an immortal.
"How's it going, eldest sister? I'm right, is my brother-in-law Liu Yu satisfied with you?"
Liu Yu understood everything now and sighed: "Damn fat man, you didn't tell me in advance. Mrs. Wang, Marshal Xuan, you are testing me."
Xie Xuan smiled slightly and pointed to his casual clothes: "I am not wearing a handsome robe, but a casual suit, just because this is our family matter, Xiaoyu, now there is no Liu Duizheng and Marshal Xie, only you and Miaoyin's uncle,
We can sit down and talk about some things."
Liu Yu nodded and said: "What I just said is the voice of this junior. From the beginning to the end, this junior has never had any intention of relying on the power of the Wang family and the Xie family to climb up. That is not the junior's life goal. The junior just wants to rely on himself.
With your own abilities, you can create a world of your own.”
"Shuai Xuan, when you persuaded me to join the army that day, you made it very clear that there are no aristocratic families or Jingkou heroes. I am just an ordinary soldier. And since the army, the juniors have always done this. To the juniors
For me, expelling the barbarians and recovering the mountains and rivers are the top priority, and other things can be put aside."
Xie Daoyun nodded: "If you are really the kind of sentimental person who loves children, Miaoyin will not fall in love with you. I know my daughter. She likes heroes. But do you want to be Huan Wen or Huan Wen?"
If we want to be Zuti, this is what we have to figure out. That’s why we have today’s conversation.”
Liu Yu shook his head: "I am a citizen of the Jin Dynasty. I only want to expel the barbarians. I have no desire for wealth and glory. My ancestor Yuzhou (Zu Ti, who became the governor of Yuzhou) is my real life goal."
Xie Xuan sighed: "Xiao Yu, you have no power, no status, and no one attached to you. It's not strange to say that. Even Huan Wen, at your age, didn't even think about his future plans.
Let's usurp the throne. People change. After you gain power, subordinates, and status, many of your thoughts will change. You are indeed a very pure person now, but in the future, even if you don't think so,
Your people may force you to take that step."
Liu Yu said seriously: "Juniors have their own principles of life and will never be forced to do anything. Seniors can rest assured on this."
Xie Daoyun smiled slightly: "Xiaoyu, actually before I tested you today, I already had a basic understanding of you. Do you know what impresses me most about you?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "I don't know, junior."
Xie Daoyun looked at Xie Xuan and said: "Your bravery, chivalry, and boldness are what Youdu and Miaoyin admire, but in my opinion, they are not enough for me to marry my daughter to you, because the careerists of the past generations have
In other words, heroes all have this kind of character. Our Xie family only wants to be loyal to the Jin Dynasty and does not want our son-in-law to become someone like Huan Wen."
"But what really impressed me was the last exercise. That exercise determined your future in the army. You could sacrifice your own future regardless of the outcome of the exercise, but you could leave the command position.
Going to save your brother proves that you are not the kind of person who gives up family ties and morality for the sake of power, and this is what touches me the most."
Xie Xuan sighed: "Others think that you, Liu Yu, don't know the importance of things, but in the eyes of us siblings, this kind of trivial matter just reflects the truest human nature. A person can deliberately hide his personality, but in this case
When making a critical choice, it can be exposed."
Liu Yu curled his lips: "If I were really on the battlefield, I would not leave the command position, because I have more brothers to protect, but this is an exercise, and the outcome depends on the lives of my brothers.
In comparison, it’s nothing. In the dust of the world, horses and cavalry can’t do it without bumping into people. I have to bring my brothers back. I only thought about so much at the time. As for the future, fame and fortune, victory or defeat, I
I really didn’t think about it.”
Xie Daoyun smiled slightly: "So with today's test, we are convinced that you, Liu Yu, do not want to use the family as a way to get ahead. Through your performance today, no matter what the Wang family thinks, but the matter between you and Miaoyin,
We, the Xie Family Association, will give our full support.”
Liu Yu's face was filled with joy and he bowed: "Thank you two seniors for your help."
But he soon frowned again: "But, does Wang Taishou really object to me being with Miaoyin?"
Xie Daoyun sighed: "Xiaoyu, originally these things were regarded as family scandals and it was inconvenient for me to disclose them to you, but now we regard you as family and there is no need to hide anything from you. Your future father-in-law is actually right
Miaoyin doesn't have much emotion. To him, his daughter is just a tool for marriage. This time he came to take Miaoyin away mainly because the news about you and Miaoyin made him feel that he had lost the Wang family.
Face, nothing more."
Liu Yu's heart suddenly sank: "Then, he will marry Miaoyin to someone else?"
Xie Daoyun smiled slightly: "Xiaoyu, you can rest assured on this. Miaoyin is not only the daughter of the Wang family, but also the granddaughter of the Xie family. Who to marry requires the unanimous consent of both families. Since we agreed to marry Miaoyin to you,
I will not agree with him casually marrying Miaoyin to a member of any aristocratic family. My husband may disobey me, but he will never dare to offend my husband."
Liu Yu's brows widened, and he thought to himself, after all, it was because Xie Xianggong was in office and was the pillar of the country. No matter the Wang family, the King of Kuaiji, or the Huan family, they did not dare to offend easily. It seemed like this
Power really determines everything. If it falls into the hands of bad people, it will be a disaster for the country. If it falls into the hands of people like Xie Xianggong, it will be a blessing for all people.
