Chapter 23 Arranged Marriages

"Yes, it's your lifelong event. You have been engaged since childhood. The woman is Yu Wenwan, the eldest lady of the Yu family in Ningbo. This time, the Yu family sent a message saying that Mrs. Yu was seriously ill. The old lady passed on a message to see her granddaughter get married in her lifetime and wanted to get your marriage with Miss Yu. This time, she came, but a marriage for the old lady, and secondly, she could also be happy about the old lady's illness. This time she called you back to meet Miss Yu, and then the two families discussed it and booked this day."

Listening to the old man's nagging words, Chen Xiuwen's mind was blank at this moment. He recalled hard, and in the memories of his integration with Chen Xiuwen now, he could not find the existence of a fiancée who had been engaged in his early years. In addition, he, who had never experienced love, was really at a loss when facing the topic of marriage.

Seeing Chen Xiuwen looking confused, Mr. Shen sighed and continued, "I didn't tell you before, because you were not good at it. As long as the Yu family doesn't propose it, this marriage will be fine. It will save you from harming other girls by then. We are ashamed of others. Now, you have changed your past and performed well in the Central Military Academy, so I feel relieved."

"Dad, let's forget about this marriage." Chen Xiuwen said in a daze.

"What, forget it? Don't you want this marriage?" The old man was stunned.

After all, Chen Xiuwen is a young man from the 21st century. Although he hoped to find a girlfriend to start a family after graduating from college, he would rather find a girlfriend to start a family. But this does not mean that he agrees with this kind of marriage and marrying a woman he doesn't know. He doesn't know whether Yu Wenwan is beautiful or ugly, fat or thin. Although he is ready to stay in this era and cannot go back, marriage is a lifelong event after all, and he rejects this kind of emotional marriage from the bottom of his heart.

He ignored his sister Chen Xiuping's side and kept pulling the corner of his clothes, and plucked up the courage to say, "Dad, I, I don't want to get married so early. Besides, I am still studying in the military academy and it will take another year to graduate. Besides, my son has joined the army and will gallop on the battlefield in the future. If there is a mistake, wouldn't he be even more sorry for Miss Yu's family?"

"I have already told the Yu family that this has been explained to you. Master Yu is very grateful for your ability to join the army." The old man waved his hand and said, "Besides, you are not young anymore, and you should be at the age of starting a family and starting a business. The day after tomorrow, Master Yu and Miss Yu are coming, and you two will meet first."

"But, dad..."

Chen Xiuwen didn't want to accept such a marriage, and wanted to argue. But before he could finish speaking, Mr. Shen interrupted him sternly.

"Don't say anything more. The eldest lady of the Yu family comes from a scholarly family and is proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Humph, you still look down on others, and it would be quite good if they don't dislike you. Don't tell me that you are still thinking about your female classmate. Let me tell you that this marriage was made by you when you were alive, and you won't even be willing." After that, she stood up and went upstairs angrily.

"Xuwen, you are not right today." After the old man went upstairs, Chen Xiuping turned over Chen Xiuwen's body and said, "Look, you haven't been home for a year, and you make your father angry as soon as you come back."

"Sister, but I have never seen that young lady of the Yu family before and I don't know anything about it. How can I say that I get married? This is my own business." Chen Xiuwen said with a sad face.

"Hi, I said Xiuwen, I went out to military academy for a year. Have you become capable? Is your marriage your own business? This is a major event for our Shen family. It is the order of our parents and the words of the matchmaker. Besides, your marriage was made by our mother. If you want to regret the marriage, do you want our mother to keep her eyes closed in the underworld?" Chen Xiuping, who has always pampered his younger brother, was also a little angry and said without a good voice.

Chen's mother passed away as early as Shen Xiuwen's childhood. In Shen Xiuwen's memory, the image of this mother is very vague. However, Chen Xiude and Shen Xiuping always respect their mother very much. Moreover, from the fact that Chen Jingzong has not had a re-string for more than ten years, it can be seen that his feelings for Chen Xiuwen's mother are quite deep.

My father was angry. Now even his sister who usually loves him the most did not help him. Chen Xiuwen was very depressed and couldn't help but turn his attention to his brother-in-law Tang Wenbin, who was usually good to him. At the same time, Chen Xiuwen was also a little dissatisfied with Tang Wenbin. If Tang Wenbin could make it clear in the telegram, he would not be in a hurry to come back. Maybe he could still avoid it. Now there is no way.

Unexpectedly, when Tang Wenbin saw Chen Xiuwen looking at him, he smiled and said, "Xuwen, my father didn't say it two days ago. Your sister and I didn't know that you actually got engaged to the eldest lady of the Yu family. You can have nothing to do and have fun."

Hurry up and it turned out that this happened at home when he came back, which made Chen Xiuwen a little amused. He had no intention of having a meal and went back to his room.

The next morning, while having breakfast, Mr. Shen reiterated the position that Chen Xiuwen must marry Yu Wenwan, and also brought up the example of his eldest son Chen Xiude. Chen Xiude was more than Chen Xiuwen at that time. He went to Guangzhou alone to participate in the revolution despite his family's opposition. However, he obediently obediently obediently to the family's arrangements and married He Zhenru, and is still very happy now.

After the old man and his brother-in-law Tang Wenbin went to work, Chen Xiuping was busy preparing for the matter because he had to receive the Yu family's father and daughter tomorrow. Chen Xiuwen thought about it all night last night but didn't come up with any solutions, and he couldn't leave and sat alone in the garden in a daze.

"Second Young Master, you are back." Chen Yi ran in from outside happily, nodded and greeted Chen Xiuwen.

Since Chen Yi entered the Shen family, he has been following Chen Xiuwen. It was not until last year that Chen Xiuwen went to Nanjing to apply for the Central Military Academy. Chen Yi then went to the Shen family's business to become the head of the guard. Today, he heard that Chen Xiuwen came back and came to pay his respects.

"Chenyi is here, sit down, please sit down."

In the Shen family, Chen Yi was only Chen Xiuwen's confidant. In addition, Chen Yi not only saved Chen Xiuwen's life on the battlefield of the temple, but also half of Chen Xiuwen's master. Chen Xiuwen has always been polite to Chen Yi.

Chen Yi knew Chen Xiuwen's temper. When the two were alone, Chen Yi did not be polite to Chen Xiuwen, and sat down opposite him. He smiled and bowed to Chen Xiuwen, saying, "Congratulations to the Second Master, I heard that the Second Master is about to get married?"

"Why, have you heard of it?" Chen Xiuwen was also worried about this matter. When he heard Chen Yi speak, he asked listlessly.

Chen Yi didn't notice Chen Xiuwen's face and said with a smile: "It's spread everywhere below, and it's said that the second young master will come tomorrow. I heard that the second young master is still from the Yu family in Ningbo......"

"Stop it, what is the second young lady? There is not a single word yet." Chen Xiuwen heard that Chen Yi had called out the second young lady, and he was immediately angry. Before Chen Yi finished speaking, he interrupted the conversation without saying a good word.

Chen Yi then found that there were a hundred unwilling words on the second young master's face, and he grabbed his head awkwardly. However, he hesitated for a moment and said carefully: "Oh, by the way, Second Young Master, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"What's the matter, tell me."

"Second Young Master, your female classmate came once shortly after you left last year. She knew that you had gone to Nanjing to apply for the Central Military Academy. She asked me to tell you something that she was leaving Shanghai."

When Chen Xiuwen heard this, he quickly sat up and asked, "Did she say where she went?"

Chen Yi shook his head and said, "I asked at that time, but she didn't say it."
