71. Courage
"I heard that the adults have not yet decided to marry, I don't know the adults, what do you think of the little girl?"
Hearing this, Qin Yuan was stunned.
Making a private appointment and revealing his heart in front of a strange man like him is really not what a lady should do. But the girl in front of him was like a pink peach at the moment, but in her shyness, she made him feel something called courage.
As a man, the girl in front of him had already spoken, and he should not squirm. After he was stunned, he asked slowly: "I don't know why Miss said this, you and I have only met for the second time, and Miss asked like this, but she was terrified." β
Luo Shu was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and said softly: "Maybe in the hearts of adults, you and I will meet for the second time, but as far as I am concerned, I have seen adults many times." Every year on the birthday of the old lady of the Shen family, or other happy events of the Shen family, I will go, and I will also meet the adults, but the adults just didn't notice me. β
Today's matter has come to this point, and it is not easy to sneak out, Luo Shu mustered up the courage and decided to tell her heart and mind. She paused for a moment and continued: "Today's events, adults may think I am frivolous, but I can't hide it, I have actually admired adults for a long time. I know that the deep boudoir woman should not have said this, but I have no choice but to do it. β
"Miss Yan zhΓ²ng, in the lower district mediocre people, how can He De dare to win the heart of Miss ......"
Seeing that the girl had taken the initiative to come here, Qin Yuan had to open his mouth to respond, but before he finished speaking, he paused slightly, and was taken by the girl again.
Luo Shu frowned slightly, Xiumei's face was a little helpless, she said: "My lord may not know that in a few days, there are many ladies in the capital who have not yet been out of the cabinet and have not decided to marry will enter the palace, called flower appreciation, but in fact, it is a draft...... Although I am a woman, I also have some ambition, and the land of the deep palace is not what I want, and I don't want to be a concubine. That's why I had the courage to invite adults to a gathering today, and I still had a bit of luck in my heart, thinking that if adults could look at me, maybe, maybe they would be willing to help me. β
As soon as the girl's words came out, Qin Yuan finally completely understood the intention of today's invitation, although he still had a slight impression of the mind of the girl in front of him that his mother mentioned two years ago, but today's initiative did surprise him greatly at first, and now that the girl said this, he finally understood why the girl's initiative came from.
There is an inexplicable love in my heart.
When it comes to the draft and the deep palace, he naturally thinks of that girl, Wenwen.
Although Wenwen was still in his heart, he was sober-minded and knew that they were no longer possible. For more than a year, although he often thinks of her, he is full of worry and distress, this kind of concern is a kind of force that cannot be used, so that he has nowhere to blame himself, and he has nothing to do.
He always inevitably gets news of her, such as she gave birth to a daughter, was named a concubine, and was favored by the emperor, such as the harem is peaceful on the surface, but in fact the dark tide is surging, and the queen's party is instigating the ministers to ask the saint to choose a concubine, the purpose is to take away the favor of her and her mother's family......
When he knew that it was impossible, he was still worried, more distressed, distressed that she was involved in the storm undercurrent of the deep palace, but he couldn't help her at all.
Maybe he can also help, he is now Chu Lin's righteous son, her nominal brother-in-law, maybe one day in the future, she will need her own help.
Putting aside the chaos of thoughts, the current matter still needs his response.
The girl's honesty just now actually made him a little familiar, this is the second time in his life, the girl confessed to him face-to-face, although the first time was just the little girl's righteous words, but he believed that the current girl must have been well thought out.
It's another girl who may be buried in the deep palace, he knows what kind of place it is, and he can't bear it.
He has a heart to help, but this is not a simple help, this matter is related to the life of the two.
After a period of silence, he finally spoke, he raised his eyebrows and said seriously: "It is really a blessing in the next three lives to be able to get Miss Qing's eyes, but this matter is about you and me for life, Miss must not be rash." β
"I don't want to do things, I have been thinking about adults for a few years, I thought that as I got older, maybe this kind of thinking would fade away, but I didn't expect it to become stronger day by day."
Luo Shu spoke calmly. She had already said everything she wanted to say, and she was not afraid.
In the face of such a sincere girl, Qin Yuan couldn't say anything anymore, he was silent for a while, and said softly: "Today's events are a bit sudden, if Miss doesn't mind, please let me slow down." β
In fact, seeing Qin Yuan's previous reaction, Luo Shu had already expected that he didn't like her, but she had already taken this step bravely, and she didn't regret such a result.
Unlike the little girl two years ago, she is still shy, but she is brave enough. She told her that she believed that he was a gentleman, and even if she would not choose her, she would not spread the word.
has already won it, even if there is no result, then fate will be arranged for her others, and she will not regret it.
Luo Shu nodded, in response to Qin Yuan.
The matter has come to this, lonely men and widows, can not stay for a long time, Qin Yuan got up and said "farewell", and walked out of the door of the private room first.
When he saw his figure walking away from the window, Luo Shu slowly went downstairs and entered his carriage.
What the future holds, let it be fate.
~~
Unlike their daughter's straightforwardness, the Roche couple are in a dilemma at the moment.
Of course, they were reluctant to send their daughter to the palace, but even though her daughter was honest with them, they still hesitated slightly. Qin Yuan is a talent, and the Qin family is also good, as a parent, he has the heart to fulfill his daughter. Although there are precedents of women proposing marriage in this dynasty, it is actually very inappropriate to find a matchmaker at this time.
Most of the official eunuchs in Beijing already knew the news that the queen mother wanted to choose a concubine for the emperor, and if it was spread at this time that they were looking for a matchmaker to propose marriage to the Qin family, it would be obvious to avoid choosing a concubine, and it would be very disrespectful.
Therefore, if you want to fulfill your daughter, you need Lord Luo to come forward in person.
Lord Luo doesn't care about face, but about his daughter.
If he takes the initiative to come forward and succeed in this family business, what does it matter if he fights for his daughter? It's just that the woman takes the initiative and always seems less reserved.
Why doesn't Mrs. Luo think so? She is also worried that if her daughter marries into the Qin Mansion in the future, she will be looked down upon by her in-laws, and her daughter is pampered and knowledgeable, so she should not be despised and wronged.
The husband and wife discussed for two days, and in the end, it was still the heart of their daughter that overcame those unknown worries, and Lord Luo decided to find an opportunity to get together with General Qin Mu in private and take this step for his daughter first.
~~
Since meeting Luo Shu, Qin Yuan has never been able to calm down in his heart.
He didn't know if he should help the girl or not.
Ask yourself, he knows very well that there is Wenwen in his heart, and he can't let go of her, but he actually knows very well that he and Wenwen are no longer possible. Even if it is no longer possible, he thinks he will continue to keep her in his heart, but always remembering her, does it mean that he will always be alone in this life and will never start a family again?
He is the only son in the family, if he doesn't marry, how can he keep the incense of the Qin family?
As far as filial piety is concerned, he also knows that he cannot do this. But he doesn't know if he will fall in love with someone else again, if he marries a woman and asks her to honor her parents for her own lineage, and he respects her like a guest, but can't give love, will it be a little cruel?
The girl who took the initiative to confess her heart to him was actually really beautiful, and he couldn't bear to delay her.
But if she doesn't agree, if she hurts her heart, she may enter the deep palace and bury her beautiful youth, she obviously doesn't want to!
For a moment, I suddenly thought of Wenwen again, I wonder if she had been in pain in her heart when she was favored by the emperor and was about to marry into the palace?
There was a tingling in his heart, and it seemed as if a light suddenly came, and he seemed to have figured out something.
He figured it out, since he had missed Wenwen and couldn't rescue her from the deep palace, causing lifelong regrets, then now, don't let another girl bury her youth.
The left and right mothers are also very satisfied with this girl named Luo Shu, since she always wants to marry and start a family, it is better to choose this one.
Qin Yuan was relieved, pushed open the door and went to his parents.
Qin Mu was still puzzled by the sudden receipt of a private invitation from Luo Shizhen, the head of the household, who had little contact with this civil official, and the usual meeting in the court was only a polite greeting between colleagues, but this adult suddenly invited him to meet in private, which made him a little confused.
Just as he was pinching the invitation from Luofu and thinking to himself, he saw Qin Yuan knocking on his door.
Seeing his son's strict face, he thought that this was some kind of problem encountered in official affairs, so he temporarily put down the invitation in his hand and said, "Is it official business?" Go to the study and talk. β
Just about to raise his feet, but was stopped by Qin Yuan, Qin Yuan bowed his head slightly, and said, "Dad, let's just say it here, it's okay if my mother is there." β
When Mrs. Qin heard her son mention herself, she got up from the couch, came to the front, and asked, "You are so strict, but what happened?" β
Qin Yuan coughed lightly and said, "Father, mother, my son was unfilial in the past, and he missed a major event in his life, which worries your second elder very much...... Now, the son wants to start a family. β
At first glance, Qin Mu and his wife were stunned, and when they reacted, Mrs. Qin immediately looked happy, approached her son and asked, "Good boy, you have finally figured it out!" Tell sΓΉ Niang, but which girl did you fall in love with? β
Qin Yuan didn't twist, but said softly: "My son thinks that the young lady from Lord Luo's family that my mother mentioned last time is very good, I don't know what my father thinks?" β
Mrs. Qin's eyes lit up, she had long liked that girl, otherwise she would not have matched the two to meet two years ago, although it had been so long, she would still inquire from time to time if someone had a fixed relationship. Now that the girl has not yet decided to marry, her son has also moved her mind, and most of the worries in her mother's heart have been relieved immediately.
Mrs. Qin said: "Nian Xiu's vision is good, and I think that young lady is good!" β
Seeing his mother happy, Qin Yuan's heart was finally a little more relaxed, although it was not the person he dreamed of, but it was a good thing to be able to make his parents happy. He said: "Then please ask your father and mother to call the shots, and go to the Luo family to propose marriage on behalf of your son, I heard that the queen mother is going to take a concubine for the emperor, and Miss Luo is probably among the candidates, and my son hopes that he will not miss this good relationship again." β
Qin Mu was still wondering about Luo Shizhen's intention of private invitation, and now when he heard the concubine selection, he suddenly had a guess in his heart, could it be that the Luo family didn't want their daughter to enter the palace, so they wanted to marry him? After all, he had also heard from his wife that Miss Luo Shu seemed to be interested in her son.
But no matter what, since the son spoke first, this is a good thing. The person that my son thought in his heart was no longer possible, now choose another girl with a good upbringing, and live a good life.
So on the second day, Luo Qin's private gathering between the two adults should have been Luo Shizhen who spoke first, but after meeting, it became Qin Mu who took the initiative to propose marriage, Luo Shizhen was surprised and secretly happy, in this way, it was really a good thing that his daughter's thoughts were all over and he did not lose the reserveliness of the woman's family.
Because they were satisfied with each other's children and family background, the two parents didn't talk too much nonsense, and quickly discussed the family affairs orally, and after the Qin family discussed, they decided to invite Qin Yuan's aunt to be the matchmaker and go through the motions of changing Geng posts.
As a common relative of the two families, Mrs. Shen was very happy to see this, so ten days after receiving the flower viewing post in the palace, the two important ministers of the court, Qin Mu and Luo Shizhen, formed an in-law in a low-key manner.
