Chapter Eighteen
After hearing Ming Zhao's best of both worlds, Old General Nalan almost sprayed a mouthful of tea. Then he looked at Ming Zhao for a long time before nodding with satisfaction. This grandson was flexible and diverse in his work, and his methods were sharp and decisive but not too sinister and vicious. If he could successfully ascend the throne to the emperor, he would probably be a wise king.
"It's so whimsical! Do you think your good brother would be willing to give up the throne and give up those red-fed confidants to marry into our Nalan family?" Old General Nalan swore that he had never thought about letting the demon king marry into his wife. Should he have a good life?
"My good brother? Who?" Ming Zhao was stunned for a while, then asked in horror. Could it be that my grandfather and uncle already had a son-in-law?
The old general Nalan rolled his eyes as Nalan Wan, and said in disbelief: "Don't you know? Your good brother didn't tell you? He and the old man's granddaughter had a marriage that he had been a child, but because Wan's health was not good, your uncle and I wanted to stay with her for two more years, so we did not let them get married early."
Prince Mingzhao only felt that it was messy in the wind in the summer. As the prince, he had many ministers, few friends, and neither of his brothers were lukewarm. To be honest, it seemed that there was one more, but... it was too terrifying, okay!
"What my grandfather is talking about...Shu Rui?" Still couldn't believe his guess.
"Here, isn't it that devil king in the world? To be honest, old man, I'm really worried about marrying the girl to him..." Old General Nalan was still chattering, but Ming Zhao felt that the whole world was fantasy.
Ye Shurui, a romantic ghost, is the late cousin who will not be bullied by his swearings, and he may cry all day long! No wonder... On the day of his father's birthday party, that guy came to inquire about his cousin's situation!
——I am the shocking dividing line in the whistle and wind—
Glazed bells, thick amber, small-slot wine with real beads red.
In Qing'an Garden in King Jin's Mansion, Ye Shurui did not go out in a rare way. He directly called himself a soft couch and placed it under the sycamore tree in the garden. A jade strip was placed next to the soft couch. Even though the weather was hot, he set up a charcoal stove to warm a pot of old wine on the strip, and a fine amber wine was served in the glass. He leaned lazily on the soft couch and took a drink from time to time.
Not far away, there was a small circle of ice buckets that had just been lifted out of the ice cellar. The hot air around it immediately lowered a lot, and it was cool. Ye Shurui leaned under the tree, with an elegant posture, unparalleled manner, and indescribable nobleness and elegance in every move, and his domineering aura disappeared.
He picked up the glass wine glass again, took a sip, squinted his eyes and looked at the sunlight pouring down through the gaps of the leaves of the sycamore tree. However, his mind could not help but appear in his mind that nalanwan's furious face in the afterglow of yesterday's sunset.
His clearly thin body showed a sharp momentum in an instant, just like a superior who had been issuing orders for a long time. Although the momentum flashed by, Ye Shurui believed that he would never read it wrong.
"I can enjoy the summer wine, my nephew will enjoy it!" The calm and majestic voice came from far away, and Ye Shurui turned his head and indeed saw the master who was familiar with the sound.
Looking at the visitor, Ye Shurui did not get up, tilted his head slightly, raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile: "Why is Uncle Nalan coming?" The more confused he felt. His father's old friend would enter the Three Treasure Hall for nothing, and perhaps he had something to do with the girl in the Nalan family. Thinking of this, he became more and more curious.
General Nalan turned a blind eye to Ye Shurui's rude expression. This kid pretended to be arrogant on weekdays, but he was afraid that he could not get out of the show. I don't know how he offended his precious daughter. Now... hey, let's see how they made the two of them.
At this time, someone had already brought a round stool across the street and bought a wine glass. General Nalan ignored Ye Shurui and sat down to pour fine wine for himself. After tasting it, he looked up at the person who was still lying on the soft couch, and smiled and said, "The things in your hands are indeed excellent. Qiu Lubai, which only has two jars of Hele Tower a year, has also been obtained by you."
Ye Shurui touched his nose and smiled lazily: "Life is short, why did you treat yourself badly? If Uncle Nalan likes it, I will send you a jar."
"Is this bribery for me?" General Nalan did not refuse. Looking at Ye Shurui's breathless look, his eyes seemed to see a place far away, and his tone was a little sad, "In a blink of an eye, your parents have been away for four years."
The laughter froze on his face. How many years have anyone mentioned his father and mother in front of him? He has never let go of his parents' death, nor does he believe in the nonsense of assassins, rescue and sacrifice for love. Unfortunately, he was wandering away when the incident happened. When he came back after a few horses ran away and only left two coffins and coffins, there was no trace. After several years of investigation, he found nothing.
Looking at Ye Shurui's cold face, General Nalan felt a little relieved, "I know you don't believe the cause of Akun's death, and I don't believe it either. What a hero your father is, how can a few dozen assassins kill him? Even so, after four years, there is no way to investigate. What will you plan in the future?"
Ye Shurui sat up from the soft couch, and something came out of his eyes in the blink of an eye and took it back again. He gave General Nalan a gentleman's greeting, and then pursed his lips and said, "Of course I still have to investigate. If I can't find it for four years, I will check it for five years. If I can't find it for five years, I will check it for six years, ten years and twenty years. There will always be a time when the truth will be revealed."
After pausing, seeing that General Nalan only smiled and said, "Uncle Nalan came here just to say this, right?"
General Nalan cursed the little fox inwardly, and his face became more and more kind, "Xiao Rui, if I remember correctly, you are eighteen years old, right?"
His heart skipped a beat, and he asked his age very well. Could it be... He knew very well that the engagement between the Ye family and the Nalan family had been decided since Nalan was born late. However, before he had time to drink and celebrate, General Nalan received an imperial edict and moved his family to the border to guard the border. Therefore, almost no one in the Minglan Emperor knew about this.
It is undeniable that he was a little curious about the girl in the Nalan family, but whether to follow the engagement or marry her is another matter. How could he be bound by a marriage contract? But how should he refuse or whether to refuse... He didn't think about it, and suddenly realized that he was actually trying to refuse!
"Originally, you and Xiaowan made a marriage contract since childhood. You are both unfortunate people. Both of your parents died. Not long after that, Xiaowan also suffered a mother's death. In addition, Xiaowan's health was not good, so the marriage was naturally delayed. Now, your filial piety period has passed, and Xiaowan's health has improved slightly. It was supposed to be here to discuss the marriage with you to decide on a day, but I don't want to... Xiaorui, Uncle Nalan is afraid that he will be sorry for you." General Nalan said very emotionally. He knew that Ye Shurui's playboy style would definitely not win Xiaowan's heart, but he did not expect that he would eventually reach this point.
"Why did Uncle Nalan say this?" At the beginning, Ye Shurui thought to himself, but he didn't expect that the latter would change. Could it be that he would not have come to discuss the wedding date?
General Nalan sighed and looked at Ye Shuruili silently for a moment. His face was handsome and profound, his eyebrows were upright and deep, and his whole body was elegant and elegant. What a great son-in-law!
"Xiao Rui, among the younger generation, you can be considered outstanding and powerful. Although you are indeed a little erratic sometimes, you can make a decision. The daughter who likes you is probably able to line up from the west gate of the city to the east gate of the city. However, Xiaowan grew up in the border area since childhood, and her etiquette and upbringing are not as good as the lady in the capital, and her health is not good. I thought that Xiaowan is really not worthy of you. We should give up this marriage."

Ahem, will Xiaorui agree?
