Strategies for Dormmates Falling Down

Chapter 40

Now that Su heard her father's words in the room, she felt a little overwhelmed, and said to herself, "Listen, listen to what my father said, when you see the dowry, you agree to marry your daughter, and you don't have any opinions." Titti, at least you have to put on a show, as if I won't be able to get married, and wish to throw me out of the house as soon as possible.

"If the elders have no objections, and Miss Su Xian doesn't object, then this marriage will be settled like this!" Mr. Cheng said without hesitation.

"It's settled? Could it be that he has already married his first wife, or is there another woman he likes more?" Su Xian's father felt a little hasty, for fear that Mr. Cheng would take his daughter as a concubine.

"No, absolutely not. The student keeps himself clean and has not had any affair with any woman. Please be careful with the elders." Mr. Cheng explained hastily.

"That's not what I mean, what I mean is, since you're not taking a concubine, why didn't you meet my little girl and make the marriage so hastily?" Su Xian's father asked calmly.

"To be honest, the student has met Miss Su Xian, from childhood to adulthood, the student has seen it all the time!" Mr. Cheng said with certainty.

"I've seen it all the time? Impossible, absolutely impossible! Although my little girl is naughty by nature, my tutoring has always been very strict, especially after she accidentally fell into the water when she was nine years old. I even restricted her freedom to go out. What's more, Mr. Cheng, you have been studying abroad all year round, and it is rare for us two elders to meet you. How could you have met, and it is even more impossible to have met since childhood." Su Xian's father felt that Mr. Cheng's words were a bit absurd.

"Speaking of it, the elders may not believe it, but the student tells the truth, if the elders insist on asking, the student will tell the elders one by one."

"Mr. Cheng, it's just what he said."

"Actually, students often see Miss Su Xian in their dreams."

"In a dream? How, how is this possible? The dream is not real, how can Mr. Cheng be sure that the person in the dream is my little girl Su Xian?"

"That's true. At the beginning, the students couldn't be sure that the woman they saw in their dreams was who. So, every once in a while, the students would draw the woman they saw in their dreams with a pen. I gave the portrait to my teacher. Father, ask him to find someone to help find this woman." As Mr. Cheng said, he motioned his attendants to take out the scroll, spread it out on the table, and continued:

"Father sent people all the way from Gutian to Fuzhou, and the hard work paid off in the end. We found out here that Miss Su Xian, the daughter of the second elder, is the girl in these paintings, the girl I saw in my dream. Student What I said is true, and I hope the two elders can learn from it."

Hearing this, the two elders found it strange and unbelievable. They couldn't wait to look at the scrolls of portraits, and they were stunned. They looked at each other, speechless.

It turned out that the women painted in those portraits were indeed their young daughter Su Xian, and the appearance of each portrait was different, showing the appearance of Su Xian at different ages.

Su Xian lived in her boudoir all year round, and even outsiders in this village could not draw her face in such detail, but now, a scholar far away in Gutian drew these portraits.In the eyes of the second elder, this matter is simply strange!

However, from Su Xian's point of view, she didn't appreciate it very much.Although he couldn't see how he was painted in the portrait, Su Xian, who had been hiding behind the window, quietly heard what happened in the living room just now.

This Mr. Cheng is really cunning, father and mother won't be deceived so easily!Su is now anxiously guessing in the room, what kind of encounter in a dream, what kind of portrait to find someone, to deceive the elderly and children, this girl does not believe it.

"There is such a chance, it can be called a good match from heaven! Mr. Cheng is sincere, and it is inconvenient for me, an old man, to refuse again and again. If your good marriage is ruined, I can't afford it!" Su Xian said her father cheerfully.

"What do you mean, are you willing to complete the marriage between the student and Miss Su Xian?" Mr. Cheng asked overjoyed.

"That's right, let's just settle this marriage, and let's forget about the important matter on our two old minds." Su Xian's father said arbitrarily.

When Su Xian in the house heard this, he was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, wishing he could rush to the living room immediately and make a scene.However, she can't do this, after all, she is still a filial child, she can't confront her father so directly.

Her father was old, and she couldn't understand what was going on in her daughter's heart, but Su Xian understood that her father was also doing it for her own good.In this way, she can only pin her hopes on her mother, hoping that her mother can stop her father from being arbitrary, from making such a marriage so abruptly, and from all the untimely things in front of her.

"But Su Xian's father, it's better to let Su Xian know about this matter! Su Xian has never intended to get married, if she decides to get married behind her back, I'm afraid that her good intentions will be self-defeating." Su Xian said to her Mother hastily tried to persuade her to stop her, but she didn't dare to speak out about Su Xian's desire to learn the Fa, for fear of offending her father.

"Men should get married in college, and girls should get married. What is unintentional marriage? Don't I know what this girl is thinking! Wanting to go to the Lushan Dharma Palace to learn from a master is simply wishful thinking. Why don't you go to heaven! This is learning from a teacher. It will take at least three years for Fa to come back, if I don't decide on this marriage arbitrarily, she won't really fly to the sky!" Her father's words of anxiety and helplessness made her mother speechless.

"If the two elders are in such a difficult situation, why don't you tell Miss Su Xian!" Mr. Cheng was considerate and mediated.

"No need, after Mr. Cheng goes back, choose an auspicious day and bring a sedan chair to marry Su Xian!" Su Xian's father urged her again and again, and said decisively.

"But her father, if Su Xian doesn't want to dress up and get on the sedan chair, then what should I do!" Su Xian's mother anxiously urged her again and again.

"When the time comes, the day when the bridal sedan chair comes to the door, the firecrackers and drums will be played in front of the door! The second elder of Liu's family, Pan'er, is getting married, and the three engagements and six ceremonies have already been fully prepared! Congratulations! The sedan chair in the Liu residence has been waiting in front of the door for a long time, and the neighbors have already talked about their merits! The young master of the Liu residence waited respectfully in the front hall, hesitantly! At that time, if this girl really dared to get on the sedan chair without dressing up, I would interrupt her. broke her leg!" Su found that her father was finally angry, so her mother had no choice but to retreat three steps and keep silent.

Su Xian in the room couldn't hide anymore, she knew that if she didn't come forward to defend herself, then her life's major events would be hastily decided, and more importantly, her dream of learning immortal arts would be completely shattered.

Even if her father is unwilling to accommodate and considerate, and is going to push her to a dead end, Su Xian can only fight back and fight desperately. For her own dream, for her lifelong happiness, even if she suffers a reputation of being selfish and unfilial No complaints or regrets.

After being determined, Su Xian clenched his fists, rushed out of the boudoir, ran to the outside hall, and shouted, saying:

"Don't marry, don't marry, I won't marry, if I don't marry, I just won't marry!"

"Presumptuous! Who told you to run out!" Her father scolded angrily with cold eyebrows.

"If I don't come out again, I won't be sold by you quietly. Besides, didn't you just say, let me meet with this Mr. Cheng to see if I can see it?" Su Xian said mercilessly Talking back, how to get back your dream without arguing about the momentum.

"Huh! You girl hid in the room and eavesdropped a lot. What's the matter? You came to lie to me with your mother! Didn't you say that you were uncomfortable? Huh? I think you are quite arrogant and energetic!" Su found that her father was still in a fit of anger, and the anger was obviously not small.

"Miss Su Xian, the student Cheng Fan is being polite. I asked Miss Su Xian to forgive me for being abrupt when I came to the door today." Mr. Cheng seemed a little embarrassed by Su Xian's trouble, but he still greeted Su Xian very politely.

It was only now that Su Xian noticed Mr. Cheng in the hall. Although she had been peeping at him in the room just now, but now that she was facing each other at such a close distance, she could see his appearance clearly.Suddenly, Su Xian's heart fluctuated.

I thought he was a bookish and weak scholar, but now he looks good, rich and handsome, and imposing.If it wasn't for the fact that she didn't get close to men because of studying immortality, maybe she would let go of her reserve and throw herself into her arms!

But what's the use of looking good!It is absolutely unforgivable to cheat marriage with such indecent lies as meeting in a dream and looking for someone in a portrait!Su Xian began to warn himself: Calm down, calm down, you must calm down, and teach this cheater a lesson!

"Courteous? I haven't even met, and you just want to get married, but you know how to be abrupt! You are complacent after passing the exam, and you feel great and spread it everywhere? In today's chaotic world, there are many evils and monsters everywhere, and the people of the country can't live in peace. In this eventful autumn and the world is in crisis, Mr. Cheng is not looking for an official and half-noble to benefit the common people, but he is only thinking about his own private affairs of marriage and marriage. Is this the only ambition you scholars have?" Su Xian didn't restrain himself On my own impulse, I said what I wanted to say in one breath.

"Daughter, daughter, even though your father made a mistake in making the marriage, he is still thinking about your life! Besides, Mr. Cheng is really sincere. How can you say those hurtful words? Hurry up!" Sorry to Mr. Cheng!" Su Xian's mother also felt that she was too reckless this time, and severely reprimanded her.

"He is sincere? If he is sincere..." Su Xian wanted to ask why he used such obscene means, but felt that he couldn't speak in front of his parents, so he gave up and turned to look at the portraits.

I don't know if I don't see it, but I was shocked when I saw it!What kind of portraits are these? It's like looking at yourself in a mirror!Each portrait is different, and she is paradoxical at different ages. There is even a portrait of her when she was a child, and she almost doesn't remember what she looked like at that time.

How can this be!Even if you find the best painters to paint in person, it is impossible to draw these lifelike portraits full of the sense of time passing!But how did Mr. Cheng draw it? Is everything he said just now true?

"Miss Su Xian is right. The people of today's world are struggling to make ends meet, and we scholars are duty-bound! Don't blame Miss Su Xian for the two elders. The students will leave now and go back to continue their examinations for fame. When they wear an official position, they will work for the common people. At the time of blessing, if Miss Su Xian and I are still destined to be married, the students will prepare three betrothals and six gifts, and carry a sedan chair to the door to marry!" Mr. Cheng thought of retreating as an advance, with a well-thought-out plan.

Seeing Mr. Cheng signaling his followers and preparing to go back home, Su Xian's father and mother panicked. They didn't know how to keep Mr. Cheng, so they could only stare at Su Xian with his crooked nose and signaled her to have a good word with Mr. Cheng.

"Mr. Cheng, wait a minute. Although my Su family is not as good as your Cheng family and is not a high-class family, at least it needs face in this countryside. You can't just come and leave when you say it!" Su Xian said It's not that Shi was forced to be helpless, but that he really had something to say to Mr. Cheng, but he just couldn't change his carefree temper.
