342 Asking for marriage

Mrs. Guo looked at Guo Lingsi, who was crying in a low voice, and did not say anything to comfort her, but said to Feng Qiao: "Before, Lingsi knew that the Wen family came to ask for marriage, so she said that she was going to leave the capital, you and Lingsi are the best, I originally wanted to ask you to come over and persuade one or two, but I didn't want you to see such a joke." ”

"There are still things to deal with now, you can take care of yourself for a while, and when you are done here, I will ask someone to make your favorite almond crisp for you." ”

Feng Qiao nodded when he heard this, and said obediently: "Okay." ”

Mrs. Guo turned around and entered the room behind her, without looking at Guo Lingsi, who was squatting on the side and crying in a low voice.

Feng Qiao stood in place for a while, and saw that her voice was hoarse when she cried, the low whimpering voice was like a little beast that had been cornered, obviously the voice was not loud, but it was crying that made people feel distressed, she stepped forward and squatted beside Guo Lingsi, stretching out her small arms to hold her.

Guo Lingsi found warmth, so he leaned his head on Feng Qiao's shoulder and cried, "I don't want to...... I don't want to hurt them...... I just don't want to drag them down, I just don't want them to bow their heads because of me......"

"Grandmother is going to be strong all her life, I don't want her to be soft for me, mother... Father... And my brother...... I didn't do anything, why did they force me like this......"

Guo Lingsi was trembling from crying, her hands were tightly curled up on herself, and she leaned on Feng Qiao's shoulder and cried exhaustedly.

"Qingqing, what did I do wrong... What the hell am I doing wrong......"

"How could he do this to me, how could he force me to do this......"

The past love, the past thoughts, all of them are mocking her for her eyes, Wen Luxian's slashing words stabbed her all over her body, making her heart feel as if she was being cut by a knife, dripping with blood, and the pain was about to suffocate.

Guo Lingsi clung to her heart and cried uncontrollably: "Why, why did he treat me like this... Why ......"

Feng Qiao stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Guo Lingsi, letting her tears fall on her neck, and the wet feeling made her eyes red.

She stretched out her hand, patted Guo Lingsi's back again and again, and softly reassured: "It's okay, it's okay..."

After Shao Jin followed Mrs. Guo inside, his eyes were still through the window, looking at the woman crying in the courtyard, watching her curl up in a ball, watching her cry and trembling, the intermittent whimpering sound made him clench his fists tightly.

Old Madam Guo had been paying attention to Shao Jin's expression, and seeing that he had been paying attention to the outside, she couldn't help coughing lightly.

Shao Jin turned his head and said in a low voice, "Old lady." ”

Old Madam Guo looked at Shao Jin and said: "Shao Jin, thank you for helping Ling Si solve the siege, I won't take your momentary words seriously, but don't be so impulsive next time, so as not to mistake yourself." ”

Hearing this, Shao Jin looked at Mrs. Guo and said in a deep voice: "Old lady, what I said just now is not to relieve Miss Guo, I really want to ask to marry Miss Guo." ”

Old Madam Guo frowned and looked at Shao Jin, but did not speak.

Shao Jin said: "I have had a relationship with Miss Guo before, I do have admiration for Miss Guo, Shao Jin is not a warm-hearted person, if it wasn't for Miss Guo who fell into the lake that day, Shao Jin would never save her." ”

Old Madam Guo couldn't help but be moved when she heard Shao Jin's straightforward words.

Shao Jin continued: "I have a skin-to-skin relationship with Miss Guo, I should have come to the door to ask for marriage earlier, but I was afraid of abrupt Miss Guo, so I waited until today, although there are some coincidences, but my heart to marry is true, if the old lady is willing to agree, after the New Year, I will show my parents at home, let them send a matchmaker to discuss marriage, and I will never wronged Miss Guo at all." ”

Old Madam Guo looked at Shao Jin tightly when she heard this, and Shao Jin didn't avoid it at all, just let her look at it, and the serious look in her eyes made Old Madam Guo and Mrs. Guo see it clearly.

They could see that the person in front of them was telling the truth, and his desire to marry Guo Lingsi was not fake at all.

With Wen Luxian in front of him, Shao Jin in front of him was thousands of times stronger than him.

Old Madam Guo softened her expression suddenly, and said softly: "You are a good boy, it is her blessing that Ling Si can get you to ask to marry, but you should also know Ling Si's reputation now, will your parents be willing to let you marry her?"

Shao Jin heard the words and said: "This old lady can rest assured, my family was originally a merchant family, just because I practiced martial arts, so I took the official career, my parents are enlightened people, my father's surname is Weng, only because my mother's family has only one daughter, so my father let me take my mother's surname." ”

"Don't tell the old lady that my family had suffered a lot of misfortune and suffered from rumors, and my father and mother would never reject people because of the words of others, and if they learned that I could marry such a knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous person as Miss Guo, they would be happier than anyone else. ”

Mrs. Guo listened to Shao Jin's self-destruction of "family ugliness", and when she heard that his father was willing to let his son take his mother's surname for the sake of his wife's relatives, her heart couldn't help but be shaken.

Mrs. Guo already liked Shao Jin, and she was even more excited at this time, with Guo Lingsi's current situation, if she could really marry Shao Jin, it would undoubtedly be the best choice.

She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Mrs. Guo and said in a low voice, "Mother..."

Mrs. Guo waved her hand, stopped her unfinished words, looked up at Shao Jin, and said: "I know your intentions, it is almost the New Year's Festival now, don't worry about the marriage, I will give you a period of time to think about it, if you don't change your mind after the New Year's Festival, let your family send someone to discuss your marriage." ”

"If you have remorse during this time, I will not embarrass you, and I have never said anything to this day. Either way, I would like to thank you for your kindness to Lingsi. ”

Shao Jin saw that Old Madam Guo had made up her mind, and she didn't chase her anymore to get her to agree, but just nodded and said, "Okay." ”

After the two made up their minds, Shao Jin hesitated for a moment and said, "Old lady, I want to meet Miss Guo." ”

Old Madam Guo showed a smile on her face, and said softly: "Go, go, Mama Zhou, take Shao Gongzi to see the third lady." ”

"Hey, Childe, please. ”

Mama Zhou hurriedly took the order and took Shao Jin out of the room.

After the two went out, when the curtain fell, Mrs. Guo couldn't wait to say: "Mother, why don't you agree directly, if he regrets it......"

"I have not said anything about it today. ”

Mrs. Guo said lightly: "How can the matter of marriage be child's play, if you can regret it in just half a month, how can you talk about the future?"

"Now that the New Year is only half a month away, I should give them a chance, let Shao Jin and Ling Si think about each other, I see that this Shao Jin is very responsible in talking and doing things, if after the New Year, he still does not change, I will personally undertake this marriage. ”
