Chapter 22/6 Chapter 3 of the Covenant
If you want to know the truth and repay the debts owed to her by everyone in the mansion, then there is no other way but to marry in.
Thinking like this, Liu Ruoxi couldn't help but ponder.
"Mother, I need to think about it." Liu Ruoji said a word to Mrs. Liu, then stood up and went straight back to her bedroom.
Second Mrs. Liu did not stop Liu Ruoxi, but went to tell the news to Second Master Liu.
"I said I had to think about it, I think there was a door." Mrs. Liu said to Mr. Liu.
Second Master Liu nodded, he thought the same as Second Mrs. Liu.
Rong Chenghan still stayed to eat, and Mrs. Liu sent someone to call Liu Ruoxi, but the little girl came back and only said that Liu Ruoxi was not very comfortable, and Mrs. Liu was not reluctant. During the banquet, Rong Chenghan seemed to be a little uneasy, but it was not easy to ask Mrs. Liu Er. But Mrs. Liu saw it and said a few words to Rong Chenghan. Rong Chenghan heard some meaning from Mrs. Liu's words, and his uneasiness suddenly turned into joy.
After eating, Rong Chenghan did not stay as usual. Since Liu Ruoxi is about to nod here, then he should also go back and prepare things earlier. When walking out of the courtyard of Second Mrs. Liu, Rong Chenghan couldn't help but glance in the direction of the backyard.
Although Xinxi was delighted, but at that time in the small study, Liu Ruoxi's abnormal performance still made Rong Chenghan pay attention. He just asked Liu Ruoxi about his beard, in fact, he also wanted to know what Liu Ruoxi thought of him as a person. Liu Ruoxi was originally fine, why was she so sad later?
In front of him, Liu Ruoxi was annoyed and even had various other emotions, but where did this sadness come from. Rong Chenghan couldn't help but think about it, it seemed that after mentioning Su Qingnuan, Liu Ruoxi suddenly became excited.
Yes, Liu Ruoxi also specially mentioned Su Qingnuan to him. It seems that there is something on his mind that wants to be said and stopped.
Rong Chenghan retracted his gaze and walked out as usual, but his face became solemn. Su Qingnuan's hand was stretched too long, and she didn't know what she had said nonsense in front of Liu Ruoxi. Although it is not good to ask Liu Ruoxi now, after the two of them get married, he can always ask.
Liu Ruoxi may not understand that woman now, but in the future, with Liu Ruoxi's cleverness, she should be able to understand it quickly.
Anyway. He still had to be careful. That woman's mind can't let her succeed after all.
……
In the embroidery building in the backyard, Liu Ruoxi came back from the small study in front of her, and sat on the kang in contemplation. Mama Chang and the others knew that Liu Ruoxi was thinking about something, so they didn't dare to come over and disturb her. After Rong Chenghan left, Mrs. Liu couldn't rest assured and came over to see Liu Ruoxi.
"Have you eaten?" Outside, Second Mrs. Liu listened to Mama Chang's report and asked in a low voice.
"I sent a few snacks up. I didn't eat anything, but I drank two cups of tea. Mama Chang reported to Mrs. Liu.
"This kid, haven't you figured it out after thinking about it for so long?" Mrs. Liu shook her head and walked into Liu Ruoxi's bedroom.
“…… There is no rush either. It's better to eat something first, don't go hungry. Seeing Liu Ruoxi in a daze on the kang, Second Mrs. Liu walked over and said softly.
I heard Mrs. Liu speak. Liu Ruoxi slowly raised her head. When Mrs. Liu saw that Liu Ruoxi's face was calm and her eyes were clear, she knew that Liu Ruoxi must have thought clearly and made a decision. With Mrs. Liu's understanding of Liu Ruoxi. With such an expression on Liu Ruoxi's face, then no one can change the decision she made.
Mrs. Liu couldn't help but be a little nervous, hoping to hear Liu Ruoxi's consent to the marriage as soon as possible, but also a little worried, afraid that Liu Ruoxi's refusal this time would be irretrievable. Therefore, Mrs. Liu didn't ask Liu Ruoxi what she was thinking, but only persuaded Liu Ruoxi to eat something first.
"I'm a little hungry." Liu Ruoxi smiled and said.
Mrs. Liu was busy and beckoned Mama Chang to set the meal, and after a while, the meal was put on the table, and Liu Ruoxi sat at the kang table and used it quietly. Second Mrs. Liu was very relieved to see that Liu Ruoxi ate extremely sweet and had a good appetite.
When Liu Ruoxi was full, Mama Chang brought someone up to collect the kang table, and brought fragrant tea, and then Mrs. Liu slowly asked.
“…… Thinking about it slowly, there is still half a year, and Cheng Han's kid said that he would definitely wait. ”
"Mother, I've already thought about it." Liu Ruoxi took a sip of fragrant tea lightly, and said in a brisk tone.
"Oh?" Second Mrs. Liu looked at Liu Ruoxi.
"I agreed to this family business." Liu Ruoxi said clearly.
Second Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment, and then she was sure that what she heard was right, Liu Ruoxi had agreed to marry Rong Chenghan. Mrs. Liu couldn't help but smile happily.
"Okay, okay." Mrs. Liu said a few good words, "I'll just say, you will always figure it out." It's good now......"
Mrs. Liu was happy, Liu Ruoxi lowered her eyes slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Rong Chenghan owes her a debt, if he doesn't marry Rong Chenghan, how can he let him pay off his debts for a lifetime. Marry Rong Chenghan, eat him, drink him, live in him, use him, and let him serve himself and his family. If she's upset, she can be angry with him. She will still be the mother of his children, and everything about him will be hers.
There are also those people and things in the palace, and only by marrying Rong Chenghan and living in the palace can she have the opportunity to find out, understand, and recover the debts that everyone owes her.
If you owe her love, you will repay her love, and if you owe her life, you can only repay it with your life.
Liu Ruoxi finally made such a decision because she already had enough confidence in herself at this moment. She is confident that she will step into the palace again, she will never follow the tragic path of the previous life, she will live well. Not only that, but she will also make those who are sorry for her completely tragic.
Thinking like this, how could Liu Ruoxi not be happy. Moreover, if you think about it carefully, you must also be grateful to Rong Chenghan. It was Rong Chenghan who gave her such an opportunity. If it weren't for Rong Chenghan's insistence on marrying her like this, and showing a deep affection, she would have planned that she would never be entangled with these people again in this life.
Perhaps, this is the so-called karma. Liu Ruoxi gently flipped through the "Diamond Sutra" in her hand, and a smile appeared on her face again.
"However, if he wants to marry me, he must promise me a few conditions." Liu Ruoxi said to Mrs. Liu again.
Second Mrs. Liu was happily talking about something, and she didn't fully hear what Liu Ruoxi suddenly said.
"Ahma. What conditions do you want? Mrs. Liu asked with a smile.
"Well, I'm going to tell him myself." Liu Ruoxi said, looking at Mrs. Liu with a smile, "Mother, you and your father will help me, right......?"
The next day, Rong Chenghan came to Liu's house, and as soon as he sat down and took a sip of tea after entering the door, the second master Liu told him with a smile. Liu Ruoxi was finally moved by his sincerity, and finally nodded and agreed to this family business. I only knew yesterday that there was hope, and today I learned that Liu Ruoxi had agreed. Rong Chenghan was overjoyed.
“…… Your sister and I also persuaded her. Of course, she figured it out herself. Cheng Han, Auntie to you, um......" Second Master Liu signaled to Rong Chenghan, Liu Ruoxi was also affectionate to him, "Auntie is a little younger, and she is still a little childish, Cheng Han, you have to bear with her more." After a long time, you will know how good she is. ”
Rong Chenghan nodded.
"We're not blind and dumb. Grandma will come over in a moment and let you talk. Mrs. Liu also said on the side, "You may not know much about the girl's family, when it comes to getting married." After all, I was a little scared. After a while, what Grandma says, you try to follow her as much as possible. What's there, tell us later, we'll persuade her. ”
I heard that Liu Ruoxi would come over to talk to her. Rong Chenghan was naturally happier in his heart.
Sure enough, Second Mrs. Liu went out for a while and brought Liu Ruoxi with her.
Liu Ruoxi wore an orange narrow jacket today. On the outside, she wore a tea-blue silver rat vest, and underneath was a silver rat skin skirt with orange-red embroidered green calyx. She didn't apply any fat powder to her face, but she was still radiant, and when she sat down on the kang, she only glanced at Rong Chenghan quickly and lowered her eyes.
In Rong Chenghan's eyes, today's Liu Ruoxi is a little shy, especially delicate.
Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu said a few words, and then went to sit on the kang in the outer room. The door curtain was not lowered, so that the two could see the inner room from the outhouse, and they could vaguely hear Rong Chenghan and Liu Ruoxi talking in the house.
Liu Ruoxi sat on the kang, fiddling with the pen and ink inkstone in her hand, and didn't speak for a long time. Rong Chenghan only thinks that Liu Ruoxi is shy, he is a man after all, and he is better than Liu Ruoxi.
“…… must live up to Auntie. Rong Chenghan said solemnly, this sentence is naturally for Liu Ruoxi, and it also has the meaning of promising to the second master and second wife Liu outside.
"Hmm." Liu Ruoxi only spoke up at this time, and finally slowly raised her head and looked at Rong Chenghan.
"Since you marry me sincerely, there are some things that need to be clarified in advance." Liu Ruoxi said.
"Okay." Rong Chenghan didn't quite understand what Liu Ruoxi meant, but when Liu Ruoxi wanted to speak, he put on a posture of listening carefully.
"What do you think of my father's mother?" Liu Ruoxi asked Rong Chenghan.
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law are naturally good." Rong Chenghan hurriedly said.
"So, can you treat me like my father did to my mother?" Liu Ruoxi asked, "There are no other women in my father's house, so they have been married for decades, and they still have no trouble." ”
"If you want to marry me, the first thing you have to do is ...... There can be no other woman. Liu Ruoxi's voice is not high, but the words she said are extremely clear and firm. That's right, the first condition she asked Rong Chenghan to agree to her was not to accept concubines, including intercourse. If you want to marry her, then you will be the two of them in the future, and Rong Chenghan will not be allowed to have other women around her!
Although Rong Chenghan was a little mentally prepared, he was still slightly surprised to hear Liu Ruoxi say it directly. Women are three from four virtues, the first standard of a virtuous woman is not jealous, even if there is jealousy in her heart, she must pretend to be generous on the surface, be able to tolerate other women around her husband, and even take the initiative to arrange sex and concubines for her husband, and take care of and discipline the children born to her and concubines without discrimination.
Liu Ruoxi has not yet married, so she put forward such a condition first, and first took up a jealousy word, and she did not hide it, so she said it clearly, it can be said that this is a bit shocking. Even if the second master Liu and the second wife Liu were two/love/phase/joy, they did not put this topic on the bright side.
However, Liu Ruoxi has her reasons, she and Rong Chenghan cannot be compared with Second Mrs. Liu and Second Master Liu. Second Master Liu loves Second Mrs. Liu deeply, and would rather disobey Old Mrs. Liu's will than solicit other women for the sake of Second Mrs. Liu. And can Rong Chenghan do this?
Even if he can't do it, Liu Ruoxi wants him to do it, so there is this first condition.
"It's okay if you don't agree, don't mention marriage again." Liu Ruoxi saw that Rong Chenghan did not immediately agree, so she immediately said.
"I promise." Rong Chenghan nodded immediately.
"Really?" Liu Ruoxi asked.
"Naturally, it's sincere." Rong Chenghan nodded solemnly again, "Mr. and Shi Niang fairy couple, I have always admired it very much, and I am naturally willing to follow suit." …… There will be no other woman. ”
"The big husband ...... a word"
"It's hard to chase a horse." Rong Chenghan said.
Liu Ruoxi looked at Rong Chenghan and saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, so she nodded.
“…… I also grew up in the palm of my father's hand, and I never scolded me. After you get married, no matter what happens, you must not lose your temper with me. Liu Ruoxi said again.
"Yes." Rong Chenghan replied very happily this time. How could he lose his temper with Liu Ruoxi, he was reluctant at all. Liu Ruoxi's worries are superfluous.
"There is another ......, after getting married, husband and wife will be one, and all your property will be handed over to me to take care of." Saying this, Liu Ruoxi added, "...... My mom and dad are like that, too. Although Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu will definitely give her a rich dowry, she should not use her dowry to support a large group of people in her in-laws' family like Second Mrs. Liu. said okay, she wants to eat Rong Chenghan, drink Rong Chenghan, live in Rong Chenghan, use Rong Chenghan's, of course, hold Rong Chenghan's money bag in her hands!
"Yes, too." Rong Chenghan didn't hesitate, so he nodded again. married his daughter-in-law and went home, naturally he was asked to provide for him, and Liu Ruoxi wanted to take charge of his money, so it was up to Liu Ruoxi.
"There is no basis for talking...... Liu Ruoxi picked up a piece of paper in her hand, gently blew the ink on it, and beckoned Rong Chenghan to come over, "Let's draw it." ”
Rong Chenghan stood up and walked over, only then did he understand that Liu Ruoxi had written down these three agreements between them, which was to ask him to sign and draw the pledge.
"Oh......" Rong Chenghan had already stretched out his hand, but he groaned and paused again.
"What, this is going to be reversed?" Liu Ruoxi raised her eyebrows.
"Not really." Rong Chenghan said, "Auntie, you put forward three conditions. I also have a covenant. (To be continued......)
