"Uh, I don't know... I wonder if Ziling is married?"
Liu Xiu said: "Zi Ling is not married. As for whether there is an engagement, I really don't know, but I have never heard Zi Ling mention it before, so it should be no."
When Deng Feng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't help stroking his hands and said: "This is the best!"
Liu Xiuxiao asked: "Why did Yuan Zhi suddenly mention Zi Ling's marriage?"
Deng Feng coughed low and couldn't help but sigh secretly. He shouldn't be the one to talk about this matter, but there was no way. The matter of Zijun being kidnapped by Wang Jin had already caused a storm in the city. Although Wang Jin was dead, the rumors were still there.
The situation is getting worse and worse, and there are many things to say. Most people think that Zi Jun has been ruined by Wang Jin, and the matchmaker who used to often come to the house no longer comes these days.
It seems now that Zi Jun's reputation has been ruined. It is no longer possible to find a good husband in the future. The best candidate right now is Yan Guang. Firstly, Yan Guang knows the inside story. Secondly, the younger sister likes her very much.
he.
He pondered for a moment and said hesitantly: "Zijun was kidnapped by Wang Jin and taken to Zhuangzi outside the North City. Although he was scorned by Wang Jin, he was not ruined by Wang Jin. Uncle Wen, you know this."
Liu Xiu nodded inexplicably. Yes, he knew, but he didn't understand what Deng Feng meant.
Deng Feng continued: "Wang Jin who saw Zijun's body is already dead, but Ziling... also saw Zijun's body. He can't escape this matter, and he must be responsible for it to the end...
Bar?"
When he said this, Deng Feng himself felt a little lacking in confidence. After all, he had risked his life to save others, but by saying this now, he was forcibly relying on Yan Guang.
Furthermore, Yan Guang was not the only one who had seen Zijun's body. Liu Xiu was also present at the time. Liu Xiu couldn't be held responsible as well, right?
Liu Xiu finally understood what Deng Feng wanted to express. To put it bluntly, Deng Feng just hoped that Ziling could marry Deng Zijun.
Liu Xiu did not dare to make the decision for Yan Guang in major life events. He asked curiously: "Yuanzhi, is this your wish or your father's wish?"
In his impression, Deng Zhu and Deng Chen were different. Although they were two brothers from the same mother, Deng Zhu was a much better person than Deng Chen. With Deng Zhu's temperament, when it came to choosing a bride for Deng Zijun,
, you must find a well-matched family, and Ziling obviously does not meet this condition.
Deng Feng smiled bitterly and said: "Although my father has not mentioned this matter, I believe that he will agree to this marriage!"
The younger sister's reputation was ruined by Wang Jin. It was impossible for a wealthy family to ask the younger sister to be their official wife, and it was also impossible for the younger sister to be a concubine for others. Marrying Yan Guang was the most suitable thing in Deng Feng's opinion.
Moreover, Yan Guang was a rare young talent with both literary and martial skills. Deng Feng felt that Yan Guang was more than worthy of his own little sister.
Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "I have to ask Zi Ling for his opinion on this matter."
"Save people to the end! Uncle Wen, I will leave it to you for Zi Jun's life-long matter!" For the sake of his little sister's happiness in the rest of her life, Deng Feng is now willing to give up.
Liu Xiu held up his forehead and said, "Yuan Zhi's words are serious." He changed the topic and asked, "How is the lawsuit with the Wang family?"
Deng Feng shrugged, shook his head and said: "The county government is pushing the envelope. Neither side wants to offend. I guess this lawsuit will not be over for a while." At this point, he suddenly remembered something and called out to the servant standing at the door of the room.
beckoned.
A servant came in and handed a small wooden box to Deng Feng. Deng Feng took it and waved to the servant. When he went out, he pushed the wooden box in front of Liu Xiu and said: "Wen Feng
Uncle Wen saved my sister-in-law's life, so I won't say more words of gratitude. This is a little bit of my heart, and Uncle Wen must accept it!"
Liu Xiu took the wooden box and opened it. It contained as many as twenty or thirty dragon coins. He looked at Deng Feng in surprise and asked, "Yuanzhi, what are you doing?"
Deng Feng said seriously: "Although I don't know what you are doing now, I know that you are very short of money now!" Deng Feng did not know what Liu Xiu and the others were doing in Baishan, but Deng Chen was running around during this time.
He was running around raising money, he had heard about it.
He continued: "This 30,000 yuan is all my savings over the years. If I were asked to spend more, I would not have it."
Seeing that Liu Xiu was about to refuse, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "My family doesn't speak the same language. If I don't do anything at this time, when will I do it?"
Liu Xiu, Deng Chen and others were deeply moved by Deng Feng's words. It can be seen from Deng Feng's donation of all his property that he was indeed determined to follow the Liu brothers.
Liu Xiu and Deng Chen looked at each other and no longer concealed anything from Deng Feng. They told him everything about their secret manufacturing of weapons in Baishan.
After listening to Liu Xiu's words, Deng Feng could not help but feel his heart beat faster. The uprising had already reached the stage of forging weapons, which indicated that the day of the uprising was not far away.
Deng Feng took a deep breath, stood up immediately, bowed respectfully to Liu Xiu, and said: "Yuan Zhi is willing to work for Bo Sheng and Uncle Wen to do the work of dogs and horses!"
Liu Xiu hurriedly stood up, stretched out his hand to help him, and said with a smile: "Yuan Zhi is willing to join us in the cause, and we will be even more powerful!"
After everyone had lunch, it was not until dusk that Deng Feng took Deng Zijun and left the Deng Mansion.
After the two of them left, Liu Xiu, Deng Yu and others went to Yan Guang's room.
In the past few days, Yan Guang's injuries have recovered a lot, and he can now get out of bed and walk around slowly. Liu Xiu and Yan Guang chatted for a while, then got to the point and asked, "Ziling, what do you think of Zijun?"
Yan Guang was stunned for a moment, cleared his throat subconsciously, and said: "It's... pretty good!"
Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "Yuan Zhi wants to propose marriage to Zi Jun, what do you think?"
"What?" Yan Guang raised his eyebrows.
Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Yuan Zhi means that he wants you, Zi Ling, to marry Zi Jun!"
Yan Guang blinked his eyes, shook his head immediately, and said, "My lord, you know me. I am a Taoist, so how can I get married?"
Before Liu Xiu could answer, Zhu You said dissatisfiedly: "Ziling, who said that people who practice Taoism can't get married? No matter how deep your Taoism is, can you be as good as Li Er (I)? Li Er can get married."
Finally, what are you missing?!"
"Be careful, Mr. Zhong!" Yan Guang glared at Zhu You dissatisfied.
Liu Xiu said: "What Yuan Zhi means is that you looked at Zijun's body, and you must be responsible for it."
"I..." Speaking of this, Yan Guang's face turned red and he hesitated for a long time without speaking.
Liu Xiu stood up, walked up to Yan Guang, patted him on the shoulder, and said meaningfully: "Marriage matters ultimately depend on your own preferences. No one can force you to get married. If you really don't like Zijun, I can
I will come forward on your behalf to talk to Yuan Zhi and refuse this marriage; if... you like her to some extent in your heart, even just a little bit, I think you should think about it carefully. Cultivation is about cultivating one's character, not about people's emotions and desires.
It’s all gone. You and I are good friends, and I don’t want you to be alone and alone for the rest of your life.”
He never thought of using Yan Guang to win over Deng Feng or please Deng Feng. Even if he didn't get Deng Feng's support and help, he didn't want Yan Guang to be wronged.
But having said that, he doesn't want to see Yan Guang alone all his life. Such a life is a missing life and an incomplete life. As a good friend, he only hopes that Yan Guang can live a happy and comfortable life.
His words moved not only Yan Guang, but also Deng Yu, Zhu You and others.
Liu Xiu really had nothing to say to his friends and was heart-to-heart. It was precisely because of this that even one-in-a-million talents like Deng Yu, Yan Guang, and Zhu You chose to stand beside him without hesitation. side, and gave him great help.
Yan Guang's eyes warmed up, and he smiled at Liu Xiu. He thought for a while and said: "First, Zijun is still young and has not yet been determined. Secondly, the master's great cause has not been completed, and Ziling does not want to discuss marriage yet. marry."
His words were a temporary rejection of Deng Feng's marriage proposal, but he did not put the matter to death.
First, Deng Zijun is too young and has not seen much of the world. At this time, her liking for Yan Guang may not be a true love, but may just be a kind of admiration for her savior. Second, an incident is imminent. , in this sensitive period, it is indeed not suitable for Yan Guang to be distracted by talking about his children's personal affairs.
Later, when Deng Zijun got older, she was sure that she really loved Yan Guang. By then, Liu Yan and Liu Xiu had already accomplished their great careers, and Yan Guang did not reject the marriage.
After hearing his answer, Liu Xiu smiled, happy for Yan Guang and happy for himself. He smiled and asked: "Ziling, then... let's not mention marriage for the time being, how about an engagement?"
Yan Guang coughed, lowered his head, rubbed his chin and said nothing.
Zhu You on the side came over, bumped him with his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Ziling, stop pretending to be serious! I am a rich lady, a delicate and beautiful girl, but you are just a penniless half-assed person. , if people can take a fancy to you, you should be secretly happy in your heart!"
His words made Yan Guang blush. Of course, only with such a deep friendship between them could he speak so freely without any worries.
Yan Guang looked at Liu Xiu and nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Liu Xiu laughed loudly, clapped his hands and said, "In this case, I will reply to Yuan Zhi!"
Yan Guang agreed to be engaged to Deng Zijun, and the collateral effect of this incident was that the relationship between Liu Xiu and Deng Feng took a big step forward.
But the forces are mutual. The relationship between Liu Xiu and Deng Feng directly affects Yan Guang and Deng Zijun to a large extent. This is a story for another day.
