Three - The final arrangements

Chapter 3 (END)

The final arrangements

Dealing with her family and Jiheng

Now, Dong Hua had to meet her family. He knew that they would be angry or someway bothered, that he married her without their permission, but he didn't care so much. The main thing was that he was an honest man and wanted to make her happy. He didn't tell anything to Feng Jiu not to disturb her and arrived at the fox den. He found Bai Zhen.

Bai Zhen bowed and asked him if he had any news of her.

DH: Yes, I have. I found her in the mortal realm. She was quite well.

BZ: Alright, I am relieved she is well.... But have you solved your problems with her? I hope she didn't resist, because she is not at all obedient.

Dong Hua's face was expressionless as usually, but he replied.

DH: We solved them after a long discussion and now we are married.

BZ: Whaaat...?

DH: We married all alone, absolutely legally, but we want to make a marriage banquet for all the family and our friends. This happened yesterday.

BZ: Why did you do it like this?

DH: She preferred me to be straightforward, without going here and there, so, according to my character I acted first and then I spoke. As the matter of fact, I had fallen in love with her long ago and I was so impatient, that I didn't want any other misunderstandings to interfere in our relationship. I was searching for her for a long time, I had also sent some confidants of mine to search at the same time. Only after many months I was able to find her.

After Bai Zhen, he met Zhe Yan, who was laughing at the news.

ZY: I knew it, that you had fallen in love with her. I am very pleased that you married her. She is the suitable woman for you and you the suitable man for her. She is for you not of her beauty, but because of her character. You can rely on her for ever. You are for her, because you have inner power as a man and you are very reliable and faithful.... Ah... Even if her father says anything bitter, don't pay any attention... he will give in... anyway, now he can do nothing.

Dong Hua smirked, pleased that he had made quick steps and so he avoided the obstacles.

His conversation with her parents and her grandfather was a little more difficult, but only because he married her first and he announced the marriage after.

After he completed his mission, he left.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But behind, the Bai family with Zhe Yan, altogether, were discussing about the news. Bai Zhen and Zhe Yan were very pleased with the marriage and they said that it was very marvelous that Dong Hua, the emperor, had acted so quickly and determinedly for their daughter. This was a real love, because Dong Hua was a very difficult man and he never lived on the surface of the things.

The others protested that the formalities and the habits should have been kept.

ZY: Bai Zhi, you know Dong Hua for too long. You admired him for his ability to govern, to decide, to fight and to ignore the dangers, didn't you? You also respect his faith and honesty, don't you?

BZhi: Yes, I did and I still do.

ZY: But have you ever thought that such a strong and decisive character will be, inevitably, the same in every occasion and not only in the battles and the world affairs? I would say that, on the contrary, he has restrained himself too much for the benefit of Feng Jiu.
