readx(); Chen Ji was sure that Mrs. Qin would definitely not agree to the marriage, so he dared to fool the two parties in order to stabilize the two people and buy time for George. He looked for an opportunity to have lunch and invited George to the corner door, and his tone was a little anxious: "You didn't settle your parents, why did you rush to ask for marriage?"

George knew that the matter had been revealed, and sighed long: "If I don't come, won't she be promised to the Zheng family?"

Chen Ji said: "You have to thank Mrs. for not understanding foreign language, I fooled you on both sides, what to do next is to make your own decision." ”

George said: "I have made up my mind not to return to Britain, and I am willing to stay in China forever." ”

Chen Ji looked at him with a smile: "Are you willing to lose your knighthood?"

George shrugged, "I wasn't a knight in the first place. ”

Chen Ji said: "Then do you think a commoner can marry Miss Xie?"

Only then did George understand the meaning of his successive questions, and looked at him in surprise: "Are you a noble?"

Chen Ji laughed: "Your Chinese has indeed improved a lot. He paused for a moment, and then said: "I'm not a noble, but my father is famous, and if it weren't for the Chen family behind me, I wouldn't be able to marry Miss Xie." I think you may not know that Ah Lan and I are the first to discuss marriage and the last to fall in love. ”

George said: "I seem to understand what you mean, are you saying that if I give up the identity of the Spencer family, I will not be worthy of marrying Miss Xie?

Chen Ji knocked on his temple: "In the eyes of us Chinese, the door represents the family style, and the son cultivated by a decent family will obviously be more worthy of being a gentleman than the descendants of the family of chicken and dog thieves, they want to recruit a gentleman as a son-in-law, of course, in addition, they also hope that the son-in-law can have the corresponding financial resources to ensure that the daughter can still eat and wear after marriage." ”

George shook his head: "I have known the Xie family and his wife for some years, I don't believe they can't tell what kind of person I am from my words and deeds, what they oppose is my bloodline, because I am not Chinese, so they are reluctant." ”

Chen Ji laughed: "Then what are your parents against?" dudu1();

George opened his mouth, stunned for a moment, and hung his head in despair: "They are not against her because of Tian's bloodline, they are just against everyone except the woman they have their eye on. ”

Chen Ji was taken aback: "You are already engaged?"

George immediately waved his hand: "No, no! My second brother Andre is not engaged yet, and it will not be my turn anyway." ”

He still wanted to say something, but the girl had already found it and invited the two of them to Santang for dinner, and the male and female guests ate separately as usual, and Mrs. Qin invited Winnie to the flower hall in the inner courtyard, and called Wan Tian over.

This was the first time Wan Tian had met George's family, and she found that Winnie did not look very similar to George, Winnie was very thin, and the cheekbones around her cheeks were high and raised, making her whole face look a little mean when she was expressionless. Wanlan watched them greet each other with trepidation, for fear that Winnie would say something that she shouldn't have said.

Fortunately, she didn't, not only did not, but also deliberately praised Wantian's demeanor and her fluent English, and said: "I finally understand why George loves China so much that he is reluctant to go back, and if I were a man, I would also be fascinated by such a girl." ”

Wan Tian politely thanked her, saying that he also admired the British flavor of Britain, and said that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would like to go to the UK to stay for a while, so that he could more deeply feel the customs and customs of another country.

Xie Huai'an deliberately took care of the kitchen, allowing them to prepare knives, forks and separate plates of food, but Winnie insisted on following the local customs and learning how to use chopsticks to pick vegetables from the plate. She is a noble lady after all, and she is well versed in the rules of the social field, and since she has already explained her intentions and truths, there is no need to put on a cold face to embarrass people now. Wanlan didn't have to be deceived like Chen Ji, but she breathed a sigh of relief.

Wan Tian treats Winnie very attentively, more carefully than Wan Lan, always paying attention to her movements, and being careful to make her courteous behavior seem less deliberate to please, she took over Chen Ji as the translator between Mrs. Qin and Winnie, and at this time Wan Lan found that her sister is really a rare talent, she can actually adapt the original words of the two of them properly, so that they are easier to understand and accept by another person.

When the food came up, a girl came over to salute Mrs. Qin, and whispered a few words in her ear, but she didn't know what it was, but Mrs. Qin's face immediately changed: "Ah, I actually forgot about it." ”

Wan Tian immediately said, "Is it the matter of Mrs. Zheng?"

Mrs. Qin nodded, got up and said, "Madam, please forgive me for the crime of neglecting to accompany me, there are some family matters that need to be dealt with urgently." ”dudu2();

Wanlan went out after Mrs. Qin, and inquired about Mrs. Qin's attitude towards Sister George's presumptuous courtship. The latter hurried to the inner study to write a letter to Mrs. Zheng, and wanted to send her away in a few words: "I dare not say anything to you, I have to wait for your father to come up with an idea." ”

Wanlan was a little disappointed, and was about to open her mouth, Mrs. Qin said again: "But if that foreigner sincerely asks to marry the girl of our family, he should follow the rules of our family.

She said, and glanced at Wanlan again: "I don't have to marry your sister to the young master of the Zheng family, but I can't marry someone who doesn't know how to be polite, especially this person is still a foreigner, you don't have to do anything out of it, in the future, Ah Tian will follow him across the ocean to a foreign country, in case of being bullied, can you help her?"

Wanlan opened her mouth, completely speechless. It is true that George has promised him to stay in China for a long time, but this is just his wishful thinking, and the days ahead are so long, how can he guarantee that his idea will never change?

Madame Qin said again: "Besides, I see that the countess is not sincerely asking for marriage, although I can't understand her words, but I can understand the meaning of her expression, and people who sincerely ask for marriage should not have her expression." ”

Her real eyes were like torches, and even Wanlan couldn't help but be surprised, but it's no wonder that Wanlan's attention was on Chen Jisa's big lie at that time, how could she have the heart to pay attention to Winnie's expression?

Mrs. Qin walked to the door of the inner study, pushed the door and said: "You go back, although our family has no intention of marrying him, but it is always inappropriate to neglect the guests, and I can't let Ah Tian stay there to deal with it by himself, I will only write a short note, and I will be able to go back soon." ”

Wanlan lowered her head and turned back to the flower hall. The pre-dinner appetizer was served, and Winnie was tasting it, raving as she tasted it.

Wanlan came in from outside the hall and asked Winnie, "I have something to ask Madame, please be sure to answer truthfully." ”

Wan Tian and Winnie stopped their movements and looked at Wan Lan together, the latter's gaze paused on Wan Tian's face, and quickly moved away: "What is the reason why Lord Spencer opposes this marriage?"

Wan Tian gasped and immediately wanted to open her mouth to say something, but before she could spit out the first word, she saw a cold and warning look cast by Wan Lan, and she held back her words vividly, only to slowly spit out that breath.

Winnie expected that she was going to ask this question, so she had already prepared a set of high-sounding words, and although she refused, she would not hurt the Xie family's face with polite answers. Wanlan listened to her words and laughed coldly: "I want to hear the truth, madam, the real reason, if you tell me that the reason for their opposition is that I am not good enough to marry an English earl, it will be more convincing than what you just said." ”dudu3();

However, Winnie insisted that those polite words were the real reason, she was not familiar with Wanlan, so she didn't want to tell a stranger the real reason, Wanlan repeatedly asked her several times, but she blocked it back with a firm tone.

The blood on Wan Tian's face faded, but she had not lost her demeanor, and she still acted as her and Winnie's translator after Mrs. Qin returned, so that the luncheon could end happily for the guests and hosts. Wanlan looked at her sister's face, felt distressed, and was also anxious for her, so she was anxious to find an opportunity to see George after the meal, so as to ask him about his plans.

Chen Ji was really in touch with her, so he came from Yitang after the meal and called Wanlan out, while George waited at the corner gate and apologized to her for Winnie's words.

Wanlan waved her hand in frustration: "What's the use of your apology, it's not up to you to decide, let me ask you, why are your parents against you?"

George smiled bitterly: "The current lady of Earl Spencer is not my biological mother, my biological mother died very early, she is just a continuation, she wants me to marry the young lady she chose, and my father has been persuaded by her." ”

Wanlan frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "What if you can't convince your father all the time?"

George sank his face and looked determined: "Then I will never see him again." ”

Wanlan waved her hand again: "Don't be angry, if you want to use this method to marry Ah Tian, then I will never agree, I will not let my sister become a disaster that separates your father and son family." ”

George cried out: "Don't do this, God, Lan, you are my old friend, you have to help me, don't you understand my heart, I really want to marry your sister as a wife, I am willing to swear before God." ”

Wanlan said: "I know that you are resolute at the moment, but who can say for sure what the future holds? When I first met you in the capital, you even said that you would not want to get married for the rest of your life, don't you also change your mind now? You also have to understand what I mean, I am afraid that my sister will become an enemy of your family." ”
