In the afternoon, after they came back from the Three Dogs Cemetery, Ming Cheng's father specially called a person guarding the city into the wing, and said things, just two people, after they sat down, Ming Cheng's father did not beat around the bush and got straight to the point:

"Guarding the city, I won't hide it from you, that night, Mingyue did pull the three dogs to escape from marriage; At the time, you were there, and then you went back. However, it didn't take long for Mingyue to chase Mingyue back. ”

"Well, I know." Defend the city and return to the road.

"This is our Wang family's sorry for you and your Zheng family, I will apologize to you on behalf of our Wang family." Ming Cheng's father said, stood up, and bowed to Shoucheng with his fists.

Shoucheng hurriedly got up and left his seat, stepped forward and bowed with his fists in his hands, and said:

"Long Taibo, I want to open this matter, it's all right; You are an elder, so you don't need to be so polite to my junior. ”

"This is not a polite thing, it is reasonable, and it must be."

Ming Cheng's father said, but he didn't continue to be polite, and after the two sat down again, they began to ask Shoucheng:

"Then when you come this time, what is your family's opinion of you and Mingyue?"

"Our family? Our family didn't know about it. ”

"Oh——?"

"I didn't tell my family."

"Oh, then what do you think about this marriage now?"

"I figured it out, I still want to marry Mingyue, and now I want to marry Mingyue." The defender of the city looked firm and replied categorically.

Mingcheng's father couldn't help but nod slightly, feeling that he had not mistaken this child, he was affectionate and righteous, and his daughter could rest assured that he would entrust him in the future.

At the same time, the heart that has been hanging for the past few months was finally put back into his stomach, and Mingcheng's father felt that his whole body was comfortable and comfortable, and he explained to the city:

"Then this matter, according to the original said, your wedding date remains the same, at the end of this year, you go back and talk to your parents, let them set a specific date, and the next cutscene, also take a walk, don't be too polite, just get by on the surface."

……

After dinner that day, Shoucheng went home and told his parents that he would hurry up and get married; The next day, I went to the school in the city with Mingcheng, cut off the work of the textile factory, and continued to study.

Ming Cheng's father's side, he told his wife about this that night, and his wife also smiled happily, in fact, this matter must not only be Ming Cheng's father's heart, why not everyone's heart in the Wang family, now that it has finally been solved, can you not be happy?

Although Madame was a little worried about whether there would be a problem on Mingyue's side, it was appropriate that she should have asked her first before confirming with the defenders; Mingcheng's father didn't think so, the children's marriage contract, the parents' orders, where are there so many questions to ask.

Besides, these three dogs are dead, there is no way out, and now Mingyue has only one way to marry the city, if she doesn't marry him, it is tantamount to self-defeat, it's child's play.

Early the next morning, Mrs. immediately went to find Mingyue and told Shoucheng to continue to marry her, but before she finished speaking, she was rejected by Mingyue.

In fact, Mingyue had already guessed yesterday that at this juncture, Shoucheng dared to come back to the Wang family, it must be for this matter, not just as simple as going to friends and relatives.

"Once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud; Take the second flower bush lazy review, half of the edge of the cultivation and half of the king. ”

Mingyue read the fourth poem of the Tang Dynasty poet Yuan Zhen's "Five Thoughts of Thought" to her mother, needless to say, her mother, who had read poetry since she was a child, must have been very clear about what it meant, so she had to ask Mingyue:

"Mingyue, I understand your feelings, but don't you think about your future? This Yuan Zhen, after the death of his wife, although sad, but after that, he didn't renew (remarry) again. ”

"Red beans are born in the south, and a few branches are sent in spring; May you pick more, this thing is the most lovely. ”

Mingyue read "Acacia" by another Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei to her mother, and her mother's heart was gloomy, but she couldn't help but smile bitterly on her face, and pretended to be relaxed and said:

"Dead girl, when is it, and you're still in the mood to fight poetry with me."

"After Wang Wei lost his wife, he was just in his early thirties, and he was in the prime of life, but he never married, wore colorful clothes, banned meat, and lived alone for 30 years." Mingyue seemed to be talking to herself, as if she was talking to herself.

"But you haven't been married, you can't compare with them." The mother argued weakly.

"For me, running away with Sangou that night is equivalent to marrying him; Now that the three dogs are dead, I was born as a person of the three dogs, and I am also a ghost of the three dogs when I die. Go and tell Shoucheng that I will not marry him, nor will I marry anyone. ”

Looking at the unusually resolute Mingyue, my mother was extremely distressed, but she still had to make a final effort and persuaded:

"If you don't get married like this, now you have parents to support you, and your father and I are gone (dead) in the future, what will you do? Who will feed you? ”

"I can go to the temple to be a nun when the time comes, and now I am with you for the sake of filial piety, and you two are my biggest concern for staying here."

"But, have you ever thought about your father, he is a very good-looking person, and there is an old girl at home who does not get married, where do you let him go?"

"......", "Since you want to force me to get married, then I have no choice but to leave home early; Here, you don't want to keep me, I can't keep me, I will recite the Buddha to you in the temple, which can be regarded as filial piety. ”

Mingyue sighed, lowered her head and didn't dare to look at her mother, and struggled to say such heartless words.

Such hurtful words made my mother teary-eyed, speechless for a long time, so I had to hold on to the back of the chair and get up, unable to get out of the room.

Looking at her mother's sad back, Mingyue felt a sour feeling in her heart, and seeing that a few tears were about to pop up, she turned her head and swallowed her tears back.

I repeatedly read the last sentence of Yuan Zhen's poem: "Half of the path of cultivation and half of the king's ......", isn't this like what it is now, half of it is for yourself to cultivate, and half of it is for you in your heart......

……

Mingyue's mother didn't dare to tell her husband about this situation, for fear of causing another runaway turmoil; But time is pressing, and you can't pretend not to know like a shrinking pheasant, and drag it down.

In the end, I really had no choice, so I had to go to Sangou's mother to find a way, although this matter is very unkind to Sangou's family, Sangou has just died, and his bones are not cold, so he wants to give his living Mingyue, who is about to become his fiancée, find a family to talk about marriage, even if Mingyue's object is still the original fiancé guarding the city.

This incident is estimated to make the Sangou family, especially the Sangou mother, very uncomfortable. What's even more uncomfortable is that the mother of the three dogs has to come up with a plan to marry off her son's prospective daughter-in-law before his death.

It is normal for a few families to be happy and a few to be sad, but it is not possible for a sad person to come to the happy house to give ideas and do joyful things; It's really hard to talk about this, it's too impersonal.

Fortunately, Mingyue is the goddaughter of Sangou's mother, and it is natural to give her goddaughter's marriage idea; It is precisely because of this that Mingyue's mother dared to be cheeky and went to the door to find the three dogs' mother.
