Chapter 121
Xue Xuran said Shi Shiran: “I haven’t thought about it yet.”
An Ruoxi thought carefully, so should she persuade him now? She looked at Xue Xuran, and Xue Xuran looked back at her.
It seems that is exactly what it means.
An Ruoxi cleared his throat. Xue Xuran glanced at her, what is this for?
An Ruoxi began to persuade: “Actually, thinking too much may not be a good thing.” After saying this sentence, she paused, it sounded like she was picking and blaming him, so she quickly made amends. “What I mean is that thinking too much makes you tired and hurts your body.” It seemed that he was disgusted with his poor health again, so he hurried to make up for it. “Actually, I want to say that when you encounter a good opportunity, you should seize it.”
Xue Xuran glared at her.
An Ruoxi looked down at the table, she didn’t speak well, let her think again.
Good timing, should we grasp it well? This girl can secretly praise herself. Xue Xuran said: “Tell me, what’s the benefit of me marrying you?”
“There are quite a lot, let me sort them out.” An Ruoxi bought himself time.
Xue Xuran ignored her, and said to himself: “I have thought of several disadvantages. For example, if you get caught up with a father-in-law like Mr. An, you will be entangled in the future to gain benefits, which is really annoying. Another example is to offend Qian Pei and cause trouble. Then there is Your family has a good reputation…” He paused, and emphasized, “I’m talking about a bad reputation.” After a pause, he continued to add, “Of course, your family doesn’t seem to have a good reputation.”
An Ruoxi continued to hang her head and said nothing, what he said was not wrong, so she couldn’t refute it.
“In short, your family has too many things to talk about. My family is married to your family, and I have to hire a gossip woman to make up all kinds of gossip. How will I gain a foothold in Zhonglan City in the future?”
“Women are not the only ones making up gossip.” An Ruoxi realized that she had made a slip of the tongue after speaking, “I mean, you can’t say things like that, it’s not right.”
“How is it wrong?”
“If gossip makes people unable to gain a foothold, wouldn’t the city be empty by now?”
Xue Xuran didn’t say a word, just glared at her, his back-talking was quite level.
An Ruoxi bowed her head again after being stared at, and said: “It will be beneficial for you to marry me.”
She waited for Xue Xuran to ask what the benefits were, but Xue Xuran didn’t answer the question. An Ruoxi pursed her lips, and said it herself if she didn’t answer. “Mr. Xue, think about it. If you marry me, you can make Mrs. Xue happy.”
Xue Xuran was choked, which is no good.
An Ruoxi couldn’t wait for a reply, so she couldn’t help but look up at Xue Xuran. Seeing his expression, she felt that he was not convinced by this benefit, so she continued to add. “What’s more, I can promise my son that I will not remarry.”
Xue Xuran almost couldn’t come up with a breath: “Before we get married, no, before we get engaged, are you thinking about what will happen after me?”
An Ruoxi frowned, and said seriously: “I’m not cursing you, everyone will die, I mean, even if you are gone, I will still be here, and I will be filial for you, and take good care of Mrs. Xue and Master Xue. ”
Xue Xuran was taken aback. The answer was something he never expected.
An Ruoxi continued: “I used to be a little ignorant. Before my sister ran away, my situation at home was not like this. After the situation changed, I also understood many things. So Mr. Xue can’t just listen to the reputation outside Judge me.”
She used to think that she was the most favored, but she was not. Do not pet or love, just to see if it is useful. Many people are like this. The same is true for her eldest sister, she was not pleasing to the eye in every way before, but now that she has gained power and can help her, she is also pleasing to the eye. If Xue’s family came to propose marriage in the past, she would definitely think that Xue Xuran was weak and short-lived, but marrying Xue Xuran would be able to escape Qian Pei’s clutches, so she was determined to marry him. Of course, this matter cannot be said, otherwise Mr. Xue will be angry. In short, now she is no longer naive and coquettish, and understands many things.
“Mrs. Xue and Mr. Xue have only the son and the only son. I think they are very fond of you. It is well known that the son is filial. If I have the opportunity, I will also be filial to my parents-in-law and not let my husband be here. Worry about things.”
Xue Xuran pursed her lips, An Ruoxi’s move was really a bit cunning, quite like her eldest sister. He intentionally said: “Being filial to your parents-in-law, caring for your husband and raising your children is what a woman should do. Why should I talk about it. If I marry someone else, others will do the same.”
An Ruoxi choked, continued to work hard, and said: “Even if the filial piety is the same, other aspects may not be as good as mine. Think about it, young master, at least you know what I am now, you have seen what I look like, It’s better than those who don’t know what to do and who don’t know what to look like in the future. If you miss me, next time you meet someone who is even more unsatisfactory, you will regret it.”
Worse? Xue Xuran simply didn’t know how to comment. “Miss An really knows how to comfort and explain.”
“It’s just stating the facts.” An Ruoxi squeezed her fingers nervously, and after waiting for a while, Xue Xuran didn’t speak again. An Ruoxi asked cautiously: “Then how is Mr. Xue thinking now?” While asking, he continued to think of words in his mind, and he must fight for it without being discouraged.
“Okay.” Xue Xuran said suddenly.
An Ruoxi was stunned. What does “okay” mean, what does it mean? Or is it just a modal particle with words behind it?
Xue Xuran couldn’t help but glared at her again, “Since you’ve been persuading me for a long time, I agreed, you should always be jubilant. You put on such a stupid look to let me not wait later, and you will regret it now, right?” ?”
An Ruoxi opened his mouth wide, then jumped up suddenly, “Ah, you mean to agree to the marriage, right?”
Xue Xuran was angry: “Could it be that the word ‘okay’ means rejection?”
An Ruoxi quickly turned around and ran out the door: “I’ll tell my mother!”
Xue Xuran stared at her back, and just about to call her to stop, An Ruoxi stopped at the door in time. She turned around and saluted Xue Xuran: “I forgot to ask you if you have anything else to say.”
“Yes.” Xue Xuran really wanted to shake the table, “Girl must remember, if you want to enter my Xue family, you must be reserved and dignified.”
An Ruoxi nodded vigorously: “I just want to remind young master, I shouldn’t have told my mother about this, I should have asked the matchmaker to tell my mother.”
Xue Xuran gritted her teeth: “Do you still need to remind me?”
An Ruoxi couldn’t hide her joy, she smiled like a flower, and skipped away: “Then I’ll go home and wait for the young master.” Everyone had already jumped outside the door, and she still didn’t forget to correct her, “Wrong, I’m waiting for the matchmaker. I’ll go back It’s gone.” Like a rabbit, he hopped away.
Xue Xuran caressed his forehead, he almost didn’t see the jumping back. Who in the world is spreading the word that Miss An is domineering and powerful? Who! How could she be so domineering when she was so stupid? !
Xue Xuran suddenly felt that he had been fooled, he must have been tricked by An Ruochen. The scheming girl used aggressive tactics against An and used tricks to lure him. She must have guessed that he was very curious and abducted him with an old case seventeen years ago. He wanted to investigate further, to find out what the **** An Ruochen was up to, so he had to find a way to keep in touch with her secretly. Otherwise, if there is nothing wrong with him, and there is no reason for him to meet her, he will arouse suspicion. But if he was engaged to An Ruoxi and had the cover of An’s relationship, then things would be much easier.
The more Xue Xuran thought about it, the more unconvinced he became, and even more unconvinced when he thought of An Ruoxi’s stupid appearance, but he was not angry, he just felt that he had to get it back, and he couldn’t be led by the nose by An Ruochen, and he couldn’t let An Ruoxi The fool Ruoxi was led by the nose by An Ruochen.
Since she wants to get engaged, and she will be Xue Xuran’s wife in the future, then An Ruoxi has to understand that there is only one person in this world who can lead her, and she has to dictate where to go. It’s him, only him Xue Xuran can do it.
It was getting late when Tian Qing returned to Ziyun Tower, and Lu was practicing boxing in the yard. Seeing him come back, he asked, “Where have you been? I haven’t seen you for most of the day.”
“What’s the matter?” Tian Qing threw the sweat towel hanging on the tree stump to Lu Zheng, “Didn’t the girl say that she would not go out today, so I went to Zhaofu Restaurant and taught Qi Zheng some boxing skills. I left it at Jubao Casino There may be more than one trouble, and if he encounters danger again in the future, he must be able to protect himself.”
“Does he really not know the identity of that person?” Lu Zheng asked.
“What clues have been found on the prefect’s side?” Tian Qing asked back.
Lu Zheng shook his head: “It is said that someone was sent to check the inn where Qi Zheng lived and the restaurant where he ate. There is no news so soon.”
“Where are the people from Jubao Casino in the prison? Don’t you recognize that person?”
“I haven’t heard of it.” Lu Zheng wiped off his sweat and looked at Tian Qing: “You really hit it off with that child. If you hadn’t arrived in time that day, the child would have been in trouble. When he met you, I also met a nobleman.”
Tian Qing’s face was ugly: “It’s a pity that he was killed. It would be good if he was left alive.” He stopped talking and waved his hand, “Forget it, forget it. What did the girl do today?”
“She chatted with Lieutenant Gu for a long time, and I asked. Lieutenant Gu said that the girl asked him for advice on frontline warfare and borrowed some military books.”
Tian Qing’s face was broken: “The girl really has great ambitions.”
Lu Zheng laughed: “Don’t make fun of him. I see that the girl is very thoughtful, and the front line is fighting. She probably has no idea in her mind, and she will worry about the general.”
Tian Qing collected his expression, and asked seriously: “Tell me, why didn’t she come to ask us? In the past, she asked us for advice on these things.”
Lu Zheng was taken aback.
Tian Qing asked: “Does the girl have any ideas?”
“What idea?”
Tian Qing shrugged: “It’s a bad idea, I’m afraid we will sue the general, so I’m thinking about it secretly.”
Lu Zheng frowned.
Tian Qing said: “Let’s keep an eye on her more, and don’t let her get into trouble.”
An Ruoxi returned home, copied the scriptures once, and couldn’t help laughing when she saw her improved calligraphy. Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, she is about to marry Mr. Xue, Bodhisattva, you are also happy for me, right? No, I couldn’t help it anymore, I jumped to the garden to pick some flowers, decorate my boudoir, and then draw an embroidery pattern, female reds have to practice hard. Later, she will embroider a sachet for Mr. Xue.
Met An Ruolan in the garden. An Ruolan didn’t smile or avoid her when she saw her. Since the last time An Ruoxi caught the third sister and arranged for her to viciously kill the old nanny, after a fight, the two sisters met privately and it seemed as if they hadn’t seen each other.
But this time An Ruoxi was in a good mood, she raised her chin at An Ruolan, picked the flowers and left proudly. Hmph, what’s so good about marrying in another county, no one is as good as her Young Master Xue.
An Ruolan looked at her like a lunatic, and replied “Humph”, feeling puzzled.
On the second day, Matchmaker Chen, who An Ruoxi had been looking forward to for a whole day, finally came to her door. An Ruoxi really wanted to sprinkle flower petals on her draped silk. Full of joy and fear of accidents, so secretly peeping outside the window.
Matchmaker Chen really came to discuss an engagement for the Xue family. She brought the betrothal gift list that Mrs. Xue had made, and wanted to discuss the wedding date and details.
Tan took a look and found that the dowry was quite a lot, but it was less than what she and An Zhifu had imagined. When the Xue family came back to propose marriage for the first time, they said that the conditions were open, as long as the second girl was married, they could agree to anything. It’s really different now.
An Ruoxi’s ears almost reached the window frame, before Tan Shi could hear her answer, her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
