Chapter 1 Refusal of Marriage
March is like a song, and everything sings in unison. Everything, from scratch.
The weather is clear and the warm spring breeze blows away the cold of winter. The plants that had been silent for a season began to be active in their respective fields with a new attitude, and the swallows that had gone south also returned in flocks to find land to build nests.
He Wanci was making the bed and preparing to take a nap, and sighed in her heart that the so-called "lack of spring and autumn sleepiness" really made sense, and it was better to sleep honestly. At this time, the maid Xiaotong rushed into the room and said to her in a panic: "Miss, the eldest lady is going to marry you!"
He Wanci was very surprised, and suddenly fell asleep: "What? Didn't I just get divorced? Didn't everyone on the street say that such a person can't get married?" She didn't want to get married, let alone someone she didn't know, she stepped forward and grabbed Xiaotong's arm, still lucky, "Did you hear it wrong? misheard Zhining's sister's name as mine?"
"Miss, I've confirmed, that's right. said that it was yesterday that Master Zhang Cheng Zhang came to propose marriage for his son, and the eldest lady said that this matter should be discussed with the master, and she should go down this morning. Xiaotong didn't believe it when she first heard it, so she went to the housekeeper to confirm it and hurried over. quickly reacted that the young lady had lost her memory, and added, "Zhang Jin, the son of Zhang Cheng, is a well-known filial son and talented person, and he has two in his twenties this year. The Zhang family is considered to be everyone, but Zhang Cheng is addicted to gambling and lust, but fortunately, his son Zhang Jin has the ability to keep this family. ”
Such a promising young man is indeed rare, but this is not the reason why He Wanci wants to marry him. He Wanci didn't have time to think about it, so she ran to her mother to discuss a solution. But the mother was not in the room, and when she asked the maid, she learned that she had just heard about her marriage and had gone to the eldest lady alone. He Wanci walked briskly to the eldest lady's room again.
As soon as he arrived outside the room, the voice of the eldest lady came out, "This is true. Before the master left, I specially reported to him, and the master said that there was nothing wrong with this, and if Wanci didn't marry this time, she might not be able to marry in this life. Let me do it. ”
"It's also good. Zhang Jin is a good person and a worthy candidate. is that Wanci will have a father-in-law like Zhang Cheng in the future, and he will be somewhat angry. The second lady heard that the eldest lady should marry her daughter and Zhang Cheng, but she said that Wanci wanted to marry her son Zhang Jin, but she still seemed to be looking forward to the temptation.
"I don't think the second lady has heard everything. I want to marry Wanci into Zhang's mansion, but her future husband will be Zhang Cheng, not his son. Through the door, He Wanci could feel the pride of the eldest lady. She really couldn't think of any benefit to marrying herself to a discredited middle-aged man. Moreover, why did Xiaotong hear the version of Zhang Jin? Doubts are doubts, but the top priority is to find a way to push off the marriage contract.
The second lady didn't expect the eldest lady to be so unconcealed, the last glimmer of hope in her heart was extinguished, and she stood speechless in a daze.
He Wanci simply pushed the door in, and after saluting, she stood beside her mother, put on a smiling face, and said, "Mrs., my father went to Kyoto to do business, and you are responsible for the affairs of this big family, it is too hard." Why don't I put this marriage on hold for a while, and wait for my father to come back, if you are tired of your body, then it will not be worth it?"
"What are the words? This man should get married, and the woman should get married, how can parents put their children's marriages on hold because they are tired?" The eldest lady looked contemptuous, and only felt that He Wanci's statement was naïve and ridiculous.
