Chapter 12 Refusal of Marriage
"Tingxuan, do you know why grandfather set the time for the dissolution of the marriage to a year later?" Lu Xiaoqing glanced at Lu Shaoyun, who was silent, and asked himself: "Because grandfather wants to give you and the frost girl a chance." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Do you know, the reason why my grandfather was able to successfully set up your marriage with the frost girl seventeen years ago was entirely because of my grandfather's trick. You know, Xia Hanlin's wife is from the Rong tribe, and she doesn't care about her parents' orders and matchmakers, so if her grandfather hadn't taken advantage of the frost and cold to exchange tokens and make a marriage contract, and her mother was there, this marriage might not be finalized. Subsequently, in the years following the decision on this family affair, Yi An did ask me several times to dissolve the marriage contract, but I did not agree. It's just that, in fact, I know in my heart that when the frosty girl grows up, if she and Tingxuan can't be happy with each other, this marriage will eventually have to be abandoned. ”
"According to the current situation, grandfather, my guess has come true, now, it is impossible to let the frost girl marry into our family in a short period of time, so my grandfather plans to delay, and get a year by dragging. In this year's time, if Ting Xuan is interested in the frost girl, you will find a way to impress her and make her marry you willingly. But if you can't achieve the right result after a year, then this marriage will be stopped, and it should be my grandfather and I willful for my own selfishness. ”
"After all, I grew up watching the frosty girl, although she was educated by Han culture since she was a child, the stubbornness and fierceness in her bones are not inferior to the real Rong people. Frost girl, she is not a girl who can abide by the three obedience and four virtues and the female precept and female virtue, she obviously does not meet all the criteria of your mother in choosing a daughter-in-law. However, she is the most suitable candidate for Tingxuan's wife. If you look at your sisters-in-law, your younger siblings, and your sisters, do you want to find a woman like them to spend your life with? ”
"Ting Xuan doesn't want to!" Yes, after seeing the love between Xia Shuanghan and Liu Zirun, Lu Shaoyun really lost interest in those delicate and weak ladies who were bent on competing for favor and profit in the back house.
"Well, that's what I thought too." Lu Xiaoqing nodded approvingly, and continued: "The Xia family has a small business, and the mother of the frost girl is a member of the Rong clan, and the girl who grew up in such a family is the most spontaneous and pure, although frost and cold are not the material of the house in essence, and it is not suitable for a deep mansion compound like our Guogong Mansion, but Tingxuan, you are not the eldest son, and you don't need a scheming wife." A girl who knows the cold and the hot and is committed to the relationship is the most suitable wife for you. ”
"I believe that if Frost Cold really marries in the future, as long as you can protect her in the battle in the back house, you will definitely be able to live a happy life. That's why Grandfather and I are going to take it upon ourselves to create one last chance for you and her before breaking this engagement. Of course, if you don't like the frost girl, grandfather and I will never be strong. ”
"My grandson doesn't like it, it's just that Miss Xia already has a heart." Lu Shaoyun's attitude was a little depressed, recalling Xia Shuanghan's muttering in a high fever, and only after sighing did he realize what his speech meant.
"You don't need to worry about that." Lu Xiaoqing playfully looked at the regret, unwillingness, surprise and rare shyness that flashed on his grandson's face, and grinned: "I know the person of the Liu family that the frost girl misses in her heart. That Liu Zirun participated in the township examination three years ago, and he was only sixteen years old when he learned about the yuan, which did cause a big sensation that year, and the article that took the exam also won the blue eyes of the servant of the ministry at that time. ”
In the past three years, the servant of the Ministry of Officials has often corresponded with the Liu family because of his appreciation for Liu Zirun, and even, he expressed his attitude to Liu Zirun's father not long ago, saying that if Liu Zirun can enter high school in the spring of this year, he is willing to marry the Liu family. With a future in-law like the servant of the Ministry in front, the one who marries will be a young lady, and it is impossible for the frosty girl to marry Liu Zirun anyway. ”
Hearing this, Lu Shaoyun couldn't help but recall the conversation he had with Xia Shuanghan in Xiaoxiang Garden a few days ago in the early morning, no wonder, no wonder she said, "Even if I don't have a marriage contract, Zirun can't be with me"; No wonder she sighed, "What the Liu family needs is not my daughter-in-law like Xia Shuanghan."
"What's more, even if there is no intervention from the servants, the frost girl will not be willing to marry into the Liu family." didn't care about his grandson's slight distraction, Lu Xiaoqing still continued: "The marriage tradition of the Rong people is monogamous and unconcubineed, and the husband and wife only have each other, and no third party is allowed to interfere. Liu Zirun is the only seedling of the Liu family for nine generations, in order to reproduce heirs, no matter how good Liu Zirun's relationship with his future wife is, it is impossible not to accept concubines. A man who will definitely take a concubine, the frost girl will not marry. Of course, not marrying Liu Zirun does not mean that Yi An really accepts that his daughter will not marry, don't listen to what Yi An swore here just now that it doesn't matter if he doesn't marry for life, he is afraid that he still wants his daughter to find a young man from the Rong clan to marry. ”
In fact, Xia Jingzhi's plan really made Lu Xiaoqing right. On the night when he left the Guogong Mansion and returned to Xia's house, after Xia Jingzhi learned that his daughter was unwilling to marry Lu Shaoyun not because he fell in love with Liu Zirun, he respected Xia Shuanghan's opinion: Han men are indeed not suitable for Shuanghan, since Shuanghan wants to find a young man from the Rong clan to marry, then he, as a father, should fully support him. I believe that as long as my daughter can live happily, my deceased wife can also smile at Jiuquan.
"Tingxuan, although grandfather is optimistic about you and the frost girl, you still have to live your own life." Lu Xiaoqing said meaningfully and solemnly: "If you want to marry a frosty girl, you must be the only woman in your life, if you can't do it, you can go and talk to your mother yourself after a while, so that she can start to see your daughter-in-law in private in a few months, and prepare to get married after the marriage contract is dissolved next year." ”
"Grandfather doesn't need you to say anything now." Lu Xiaoqing noticed that his grandson wanted to express his attitude, so he preemptively interrupted Lu Shaoyun's words: "Tingxuan, everyone in Beijing knows that the prince is intelligent, virtuous, and has a stable status, and he will definitely inherit the great treasure in the future." You have been the prince's companion, and the relationship with the prince has never been estranged over the years, and you are also young and promising, and when the prince succeeds to the throne in the future, your future is limitless. When the time comes, will you really be able to resist those prosperous temptations and keep your promises? In one year, grandfather wants you to use this year to think about it, determine what you are willing to pay for frost and cold, and give up something, and after a year, grandfather will come back to listen to your answer. You go out first. ”
"Yes, grandfather." Lu Shaoyun held back his words, and after saying goodbye to his grandfather, he fell into deep thought again.
"There is only one woman in Xia Shuanghan's life", this point, Lu Shaoyun in his previous life did it, after Xia Shuanghan's death, with the assistance of Liu Zirun, Lu Shaoyun personally arrested the culprit who killed Xia Shuanghan, and mercilessly abandoned the initiator behind the case - Pei Huanting, his wife Pei Huanting, who was given to him by the Queen Mother. In the end, he even broke with his mother, who caused Xia Shuanghan to be infertile for life, and left the border alone, lonely and old. It's a pity that when he did this, Xia Shuanghan was already dead, and she couldn't know anything.
