The Shao family is noble. When Shao Jingyu was just a young master of the Shao family, he was already the ideal son-in-law in the eyes of many aristocratic families. Now he holds a high official rank and is loved by His Majesty. Now the military officers in the court all regard him as their leader. Even Prime Minister Jian, who used to look down on Shao Jingyu and thought that he could only live by relying on his clan, has changed his previous view.
Prime Minister Jian attached great importance to the marriage of his daughter Jian Yuer. At the beginning, Jian Yuer fell in love with the prince for some unknown reason, which made Prime Minister Jian worried for a long time. Later, the daughter of the Yan family intervened. Although his daughter was sad for a long time, Prime Minister Jian was very satisfied with the result.
But speaking of it, my daughter's love life is always a bit bumpy for some reason.
Of course, there is no need to mention the former crown prince. Prime Minister Jian admires Jiang Yi, who is now very famous. He was the top scholar in the imperial examination. He is not only knowledgeable but also has amazing strategies. He is also trusted and loved by His Majesty.
Prime Minister Jian was a civil servant, and he had also come this far through the imperial examinations, so compared to Jiang Yi and Shao Jingyu, Prime Minister Jian valued Jiang Yi more. He had concluded that this boy would be extraordinary in the future.
What surprised him even more was that his daughter actually had some affinity with Jiang Yi since childhood, so Prime Minister Jian was even more intent on winning over Jiang Yi, or perhaps had the idea of making Jiang Yi his husband.
But for some reason, Jiang Yi came to visit the mansion after he became the top scholar, but when he came back, he treated Yu'er like a stranger. When he saw him, he called him "Mr. Jian" coldly. For a moment, even Mr. Jian didn't know how to react.
Later, Prime Minister Jian heard that Jiang Yi's wife, who was not yet married, had died of illness. Now, several years have passed, and countless families have proposed marriage to Jiang Yi. Even the emperor had asked Jiang Yi if he was willing to help him find a marriage, but Jiang Yi decisively rejected them all.
Jiang Yi was an affectionate man, but his affection had been buried with his deceased wife. Prime Minister Jian lamented that his daughter and Jiang Yi were not destined to be together, and he gave up the idea of marrying Jiang Yi as his son-in-law.
Jian Yu'er is not young anymore, but Prime Minister Jian still can't find a son-in-law who can compare with Jiang Yi. The boy from the Shao family, whom Yu'er has known since childhood, has a noble family, but the nobility is just empty. Although Grand Tutor Shao was a first-rank official, he had no real power; although the imperial concubine was favored, she had no children, and none of the Shao family's children were particularly outstanding.
Prime Minister Jian never thought that Shao Jingyu would actually be so successful one day. In just two years, he has already reached a position equal to him.
For the first time, Jian Xiang lamented that there were days when he could make mistakes.
Looking at Shao Jingyu again, he holds military power and is favored by the emperor. Now he is no less capable than Jiang Yi. Prime Minister Jian can't help but have some ideas again.
But before Shao Jingyu could reply, Yu'er suddenly burst into tears for some reason. Neither he nor Mrs. Jian could find out what had happened. Later, when Prime Minister Jian mentioned Shao Jingyu, Jian Yu'er took the initiative to tell him that she no longer liked Shao Jingyu and did not want to marry him.
Jane was so angry that she threw her chopsticks.
Yan Yiming and Xiaopingguo witnessed the confrontation between father and daughter. Looking at Jian Yuer again, although there are many shortcomings and many things that make people dislike her, she is indeed very kind.
Yan Yiming recalled that when he was trying to capture Jian Yuyan, Jian Yuer had shown signs of turning evil, but in the end she was suppressed by her human nature and nothing happened. Now she has concealed Shao Jingyu's mistake and suffered the consequences alone.
Regardless of whether she liked him or not, she wrote a sincere letter and sent it from afar, but when she received it, it became a "breakup letter". Jian Yuer stared at the letter for a long time, wondering if Shao Jingyu had someone else in his heart, then she cried with red eyes, and then she burned the letter while no one else noticed.
Without telling Jian Xiang, because she was afraid that Jian Xiang would cause trouble for Shao Jingyu, Jian Yuer took the initiative to tell Jian Xiang that she no longer wanted to marry Shao Jingyu. After a big fight between father and daughter, Jian Xiang was so angry that he almost overturned the table in the study.
In the past, Jian Yuyan had a grudge against him because of an actor, and now his daughter has also gone against him. Jian Xiang was so angry that his heart ached.
Thinking of Jian Yuyan, Prime Minister Jian became more and more depressed. He heard from the servants in the mansion that Jian Yuyan had not returned home today.
Since the actor left, Jian Yuyan has been living in the house where the actor lived. He generally does not return home unless there is something important. Besides, what makes Prime Minister Jian most unacceptable is that since then, Jian Yuyan began to tell him directly that he had no intention of restoring the country.
He said that the current emperor was benevolent and wise, and that the world was now at peace, and he also tried to persuade him why he was so stubborn.
Stubborn? Prime Minister Jian slapped Jian Yuyan for the first time, and angrily asked him how he could be worthy of the ancestors who were exterminated by Nangong Yizu. Unexpectedly, Jian Yuyan mocked him calmly, "I will seek apology from them after I die."
It is because I wanted to live up to my ancestors that I lost the person I love the most.
A daughter, a lowly actor, could actually influence Jian Yuyan to this extent. Prime Minister Jian wished he could kill the actor with his own hands. After Jian Yuyan left, he smiled coldly.
Some things cannot be given up easily just because he wants to. Jian Yuyan's identity destined him to be unable to stay out of it, and the final chapter was written since he was born.
The matter of Jian Yuyan is not urgent. The most pressing matter now is the matter between Yu'er and Shao Jingyu. However, Shao Jingyu is now in the limelight, and there are countless noble families in the capital waiting for Shao Jingyu to return to the capital. Even His Majesty may have the idea of marrying one of his princesses to Shao Jingyu.
In order to find out why Yu'er suddenly told him that she didn't want to marry Shao Jingyu, Prime Minister Jian called the maids around Jian Yu'er one by one to question them. After just a few words, he had guessed the general idea.
The maid said that Yu'er cried on the day she finished the whole thing, and happened to receive a letter from Shao Jingyu sent from the north. The maid said that she didn't know what was in the letter, but Yu'er burst into tears after reading it, and finally even burned the letter.
Prime Minister Jian understood immediately that the boy from the Shao family must have done something to offend Yu'er.
Although Prime Minister Jian had found a lot of husband candidates for Jian Yuer before Shao Jingyu became successful, he now does not feel sorry for Shao Jingyu at all. Instead, he can't help but blame Shao Jingyu after learning that Shao Jingyu has broken up with his daughter.
Shao Jingyu must have met someone else he liked outside the Great Wall. Jian Xiang could not think of any other possibility.
As expected, on the day Shao Jingyu returned to Beijing, news spread that Shao Jingyu brought a woman back to the Shao family.
In addition to the Shao family members, Mrs. Shao's niece also came to the Shao family that day to wait for Shao Jingyu to return home. However, she was turned away before she had the chance to say anything to Shao Jingyu.
The cousin said angrily that Shao Jingyu personally carried the woman into the house and specially sought out an imperial physician to treat her. After meeting the Shao family, she hurried back to visit the woman.
The deputy general beside Shao Jingyu said that that was Shao Jingyu's wife who had never married.
Shao Jingyu had been fighting outside for nearly two years, and without anyone noticing, he had found a wife, but she was an orphan with no background.
Before the Shao family could hide it, the talkative cousin dumped all the information out. Mr. Shao was so angry that he didn't allow the cousin to come to the house again. He turned around and looked at his grown-up son and tried to persuade him.
"If you want to take this girl as a concubine, that's fine, but you still have to wait until you officially marry her..."
But before he finished speaking, Shao Jingyu said seriously, "I brought her back because I wanted to marry her."
Mr. Shao choked on a mouthful of tea and stared at Shao Jingyu in astonishment. After a long moment, he decisively said, "I don't agree."
Without waiting for Shao Jingyu to speak, he continued, "I heard from the imperial physician that the girl was seriously injured and it is uncertain whether she can wake up. To put it bluntly, even if she wakes up, I don't know how long she can live. Moreover, her identity is unknown. How many noble ladies in the capital want to marry into the mansion? Could it be that she is not as good as a commoner?"
Shao Jingyu didn't like the first half of Master Shao's words, but because he was an elder, he didn't want to argue with him, so he simply responded to the second half, "How can they compare to her."
It took Mr. Shao a moment to realize what Shao Jingyu meant by "they" and "she". For a moment he was surprised at what possessed Shao Jingyu to be so bewitched by a woman.
Mr. Shao is the eldest son of Grand Tutor Shao, but he is not as steady and wise as Grand Tutor Shao. He is mediocre in talent but has a naturally bad temper.
Although his son's official position is much higher than his, in his eyes, his son is still his son. Now his son is contradicting his father for a woman brought back from outside. Mr. Shao was immediately furious, "Shao family does not welcome women of unknown origin. I am not discussing this with you. You have no right to speak on the orders of your parents and the matchmaker's words!"
The words "the source is unknown" completely turned Shao Jingyu's face black. He suppressed his anger and did not argue with Master Shao. He turned around and left without saying a word.
Mr. Shao thought he had heard it, but he didn't expect that the next day he was called by Master Shao and scolded and asked what he had said to Shao Jingyu.
Since Master Shao did not allow Yan Yiming to stay in the Shao Mansion, Shao Jingyu was unwilling to suffer this humiliation. His Majesty personally bestowed the General's Mansion on him and directly sent the personal guards to move his things to the General's Mansion.
Mrs. Shao was shocked when she heard the words. She didn't know what to do. She had no choice but to send someone to invite Master Shao.
Coincidentally, the girl who had been in a coma since she was brought back finally woke up. Shao Jingyu stopped and hurried to see the girl. Mrs. Shao followed him and saw from afar her extremely arrogant son squatting beside the bed, carefully tucking the quilt for the girl, and his tone was gentler than anyone had ever seen before.
Yan Yiming and Xiaopingguo had watched the show for so many days. Finally, they had enough of Go and regained consciousness. They slowly opened their eyes and saw Shao Jingyu crying with joy. As if they hadn't noticed anything, they asked him,
"Did you win?"
Shao Jingyu's expression suddenly froze, and a flash of panic flashed across his eyes, but it was fleeting. He smiled and said, "I won."
"What about General Chen?"
"General Chen...died for his country."
Yan Yiming closed his eyes for a long time without saying a word. Shao Jingyu sat gently beside the bed and said, "It's over. Let's not talk about the war, okay?"
"But what else can we talk about if not the war?" Yan Yiming laughed bitterly. When he moved slightly, he realized that his clothes and the quilt covering him were all gone. He said in amazement,
"You know it", and then I asked him after a long time,
"So, where is this?"
