Qin Hanzhen blinked and was silent for a while before he said: "That's not what I said, if the emperor and the crown prince choose a candidate for you, they will always ask you what you mean, right? They have always treated you very well, you tell them the name of the person you want to marry, and ask them to call the shots, isn't it? I think the emperor and the prince are always better to talk than Ling Zun." ”

Zhao Mo lowered his head and smiled: "Where is it so easy? That's the emperor and the crown prince." If they want me to marry the daughter of a certain family, even if I don't like it, how can I say a 'no'? That is not a protest? If my father chooses a candidate I don't like, there is still room for reversal, but if it is the emperor and the crown prince...... I'm afraid that I only have to obey orders, and I don't even dare to say who I want to marry, for fear of bringing trouble to the girl, ruining her reputation, and delaying her life's events. ”

Qin Hanzhen pursed her lips, how could she hear that Zhao Mo seemed to have such a favorite candidate? Who was it? Why hadn't she heard him mention it? Could it be that he had met him in Suning in the past few years? Was it the daughter of a local family in Suning? Could it be that the sentence he asked her back then had not happened? Then on the day he just returned to Beijing, he asked her if she still remembered that sentence, and what did it mean? Did he tell her not to take it to heart?

Sure enough, you're kidding her, right?!

Qin Hanzhen pursed his lips and turned his head to look at Zhao Mo. Zhao Mo even smiled at her!

She said with a smile: "I didn't expect Cousin Zhao to attach so much importance to his sweetheart, since this is the case, then you might as well make a move first? In the future, whether Ling Zun has taken a fancy to the daughter of which family, or what your stepmother plans to calculate against you, they will not be able to go beyond the holy decree, wouldn't they all be happy?"

Zhao Mo listened, and even the roots of his ears turned red, and he looked at his shy little appearance: "Cousin is really a good idea, but ...... I'm afraid that people won't be happy, and I don't know what her family thinks. If I had not first obtained her and her family's approval, I would have gone to the emperor's will, and if they were not pleased, would I not have been self-defeating? In my heart, she is a treasure-like figure, and I will never let her be wronged. If she can't say a word accurately, how dare you surprise her?"

Qin Hanzhen didn't feel even more uncomfortable in his heart: "Then you can ask." If you don't ask, how will people know what you mean, and how can they give you the right words?"

Zhao Mo glanced at her, and the blush at the root of her ears gradually spread to her face and neck, and her head was almost half red: "Is this...... Wouldn't it be too abrupt to say that? I'm a little afraid she'll be angry...... Actually, I used to give her a little bit of a tone to test her thoughts, but she didn't say anything at the time, and then it seemed like there was no such thing, and I was afraid that she would not be happy in her heart, but it was not good to refuse in person, so I pretended to be stupid with me. If I don't talk about it again, I'll be pretty fine when I meet her, and we'll be like good friends. But if I mention it in person...... I'm afraid she'll be annoyed, and we won't even be friends from now on. ”

Qin Hanzhen was actually a little annoyed: "Yo, have you ever tried to tell others? When did this happen? I haven't heard you mention it." Cousin Zhao, you're too good at concealing it, aren't you? You've never said anything like this in your letters to me!"

Zhao Mo blinked, his eyes glazed over: "What's that...... It was a few years ago. It's not that I'm too good at hiding it, it's ...... This kind of thing has to be said to the face, how can it fall on the letter? If others see it, it will not be clear. ”

Qin Han snorted coldly in his heart, this is something that even she can't believe? Anyway, when she is rare? When she was still so young, he deliberately teased her, telling her that she had been hanging on her heart all these years, and she couldn't be at peace, but when she turned around, she told her that her sweetheart was someone else, and she couldn't even tell her name and identity, for fear that she would show his letter to others and ruin the reputation of his sweetheart...... How considerate, how careful! Zhao Mo, a little boy, has grown up now.

What a debt of omission!

Qin Hanzhen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, only to feel that the brazier in this Fengwei Xuan had risen too much, and it made the room stuffy and panicked, so he stood up and said, "Cousin Zhao is such a careful person, I really underestimated you in the past." Anyway, since you have a sweetheart, and you can't know what she means, just ask in private. Since you had the courage to ask her the first time, why don't you have the courage to ask her again? After the New Year, you will be seventeen years old, and it is almost time to get engaged, but you can't delay. Otherwise, if you go back to your father and stepmother, you don't know what will happen, and if you tell you a family affair that is not in line with your wishes, can you still go and ask the emperor to dismiss your father for you? Naturally, you have to strike first. ”

Zhao Mo then stood up: "My cousin is right, and I have this intention." But I'm afraid that she doesn't want to, or has other concerns. If she rejects me, won't there be even a little room for maneuvering, and what will I do then?"

Qin Hanzhen glanced at him impatiently: "How can you be afraid to pursue your sweetheart? Since you have known her for more than a year, and you are quite familiar with her tone, don't you usually put in a little bit of water grinding effort to please her?" Send flowers and grass, be diligent and careful, she will give whatever she likes, accompany her more when she goes out, help solve difficulties when she encounters difficulties, and show more performance in front of her family elders. As long as she thinks you are good, and her family thinks you are good, just by virtue of your identity, this net worth, this figure, and this appearance, Cousin Zhao!

Zhao Mo's spirit suddenly perked up: "Is my cousin thinking like this......?" Am I really that good?" he touched his nose a little embarrassedly, "and my father said that I was born too dark, like a farmer, and although I was born tall, I was too thin, and I was full of bones. He still thinks I'm rude, not soft enough to speak, not as polite as he is. ”

Qin Hanzhen wanted to roll his eyes again: "What kind of eyes is Ling Zun? What's wrong with being born black? You are exposed to the sun! It is a symbol of health! Your hands and feet are thicker, and it is also because you practice martial arts diligently and often go to the ground to do experiments." You are a doer, you don't have an empty mouth, you can only talk on paper, and you are better than many officials in the DPRK and China! This black skin, hands and feet are proof of your ability. White-faced scholars with fine skin and tender flesh can't endure hardship at all, and it's even worse in the capital, so what's so rare? As for being tall and thin, isn't it good to be tall? Thin, eat more meat, and you can get fat. Besides, I see that you have wide shoulders and long legs, a full hanger, and you look better than others in whatever clothes you wear, and your temperament is a hundred times stronger than others! If you stand out wearing the same clothes as your father, do you see if those big girls and little daughters-in-law like you like your figure, or do you prefer your father's so-called blessed figure?!"

Zhao Mo smiled when he heard this: "Really, Cousin Qin really thinks I look good?"

"Really, pearls aren't that real!" Qin Hanzhen gave him a categorical affirmative answer, "So, you don't have to feel inferior at all, don't listen to what your father says." Your present conditions, whether in the capital or in other provinces, are full of golden bachelors! Unless you belong to something else in your heart, or for some reason you really don't call a girl, no one is willing to marry you. You just have to go for it with confidence and boldness. Of course, this pursuit of girls also requires a little bit of demeanor. You have done everything you can, and you have made her understand your mind, and if there are any obstacles, try to solve them. If you get to that point, the girl still wants to reject you, you don't have to stalk you, you should wish the girl to find a satisfactory marriage as soon as possible. As for yourself, just pack up your mood and find the next person you like. But don't go to extremes and do anything excessive, harming others and yourself. ”

Zhao Mo was silent for a moment before he said, "If she really doesn't want to, I naturally won't force it." In my heart, she is a treasure. Even if I don't become a husband and wife, but only a brother and sister, I ......" he paused before he finished with difficulty, "I will protect her for the rest of my life, how can I be willing to let her be wronged? ”

Qin Hanzhen looked at his serious appearance and sighed faintly in his heart.

Forget it, this kid really put his sweetheart on the tip of his heart, and he has reached this point with affection, what kind of anger is she still having here? When they were separated in Cangzhou, the words he said to her were probably just the beginning of juvenile love, a joke for a while, or even he couldn't figure out his own thoughts, just because he had been with her for a long time, and suddenly said that he was going to separate, and he was reluctant to give up, so he would mistake his mind and confuse friendship and love, right?

Thinking about the fact that she is an adult in her soul, she has lived so much in two lifetimes, if she really fell in love with Zhao Mo at this age, is it her old cow eating tender grass, or is she playing with him The early love between elementary school students and junior high school students? Zhao Mo is a real teenager, but she is not a real girl, why bother with the past here? Since he has found someone he really likes, she will fulfill him. In the end, it is the boy she watched grow up, and she always hoped that he would be happy.

Thinking of this, Qin Hanzhen said softly to Zhao Mo: "Your sincerity, no matter who knows it, will not be moved." In that case, be bold and tell the girl how you feel. Without the words spoken, you will never know her answer. Why don't you give it a try, and maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised?"

Zhao Mo looked at her, and even he didn't know how gentle he was smiling: "So...... I'll just try it once, cousin Qin, do you remember that year...... Did I tell you anything when we were separated in Cangzhou?"

Qin Hanzhen was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted, and he was annoyed in his heart, and subconsciously reached out and grabbed his arm: "Are you going to play tricks again?!"

Zhao Mo didn't expect her to react like this, and asked in a daze, "Cousin Qin, what's wrong with you? Why are you holding me like this?"

"Why are you still asking me?!" Qin Hanzhen was so angry that he jumped to his feet, "This is not the first time, twice in a row, you are like this, and after asking this sentence, you ran away, so that I can't catch it if I want to." What the hell do you mean? Didn't you say that you liked other girls? Why did you mention what you said at the beginning? You're clearly playing tricks on me!"

"But......" Zhao Mo pursed his lips and smiled at her, "I didn't like other girls." From four years ago to now, my mind has not changed. What I like is only you from beginning to end. ”
