Chapter 59: Unyielding
The Nine Princes waved his hand and said disapprerovingly: "I'll be in charge of this matter, where can she have any ideas?" ”
"But the person who is going to marry is her, and the younger generation thinks it's better to ask her opinion, so that she won't have resentment towards you in the future." Yan Jinxuan said in a serious tone.
The Ninth Prince thought about it and felt that it was right, so he asked people to call Zhu Qingmei.
Zhu Qingmei, who had just eaten early and was about to play in the garden, heard that her father had called her over, and her face turned blue with fright, and she rushed to Rupuju without saying a word.
Seeing Zhu Qingmei coming in, the Nine Princes smiled and said, "Qingmei, I'm going to let you marry Lord Yan at the end of next year, do you have any opinions?" ”
What, she's going to be married at the end of next year? Zhu Qingmei suddenly frowned.
She knew that after getting married, she would have to sleep with a man, have children, and honor her in-laws, and she would probably have no time to play if she wanted to. She always felt that she was still a child, and she was served by others on weekdays, so how could she know how to deal with these things? So when she heard her father say this, she felt a headache.
But she didn't dare to disobey her father, so she couldn't speak.
"Qingmei, just say what you think in your heart, not only will I not force you, but I will also help you speak." Yan Jinxuan said softly.
Zhu Qingmei raised her eyes and looked at Yan Jinxuan, and found that his expression was serious.
"You'll help me decide, won't you?" Zhu Qingmei asked him in a low voice.
When she learned that her father had called her over just now, she thought it was Yan Jinxuan who had complained to her father, so she came to her to admonish her, but now it doesn't seem to be the case.
Then he means he won't force her to marry when she doesn't want to, right?
"Yes." Yan Jinxuan said clearly.
Zhu Qingmei glanced at her father, and when she saw her father looking at her sternly, she unconsciously retreated in her heart.
The person she fears the most now is her father.
What to do?
The Ninth Prince snorted and said, "You just tell your thoughts." ”
"Yes, remember - don't force it!" Yan Jinxuan added another sentence.
He has already told her twice not to be reluctant, does he not want to marry yet? Zhu Qingmei was a little confused.
She lowered her head in contemplation.
Now it seems that this seems to be her father's meaning, not Yan Jinxuan's meaning, so what should she do?
The affairs in the prince's mansion have never required her to take an idea, so she doesn't know what the consequences will be if she takes this idea. But she also knew that this family affair would definitely be concluded, but she was not mentally prepared yet.
If you talk about your impression of Yan Jinxuan. She felt that he had at least respect for her, and he was quite patient, and she should be able to live with him. It's just that she hasn't been able to see through him, and she hasn't wanted to see through his mind. So what is known about him is extremely limited.
If she marries him next year, she feels that she is far from coping with it.
So she plucked up the courage to look up and say, "No, I'll be too young next year." ”
Yan Jinxuan breathed a sigh of relief. The Nine Princes' faces were gloomy.
"Then the beginning of the year." The Nine Princes said.
"Actually, there is not much difference between the end of next year and the beginning of the year after that, I mean I want to wait until she turns 16 before getting married, so that her psychological pressure is not so great." Yan Jinxuan said to the Nine Princes.
That is, at the end of the next year.
"Yes, yes, I will definitely study hard in the next two years." Zhu Qingmei said busily.
It is a year to be able to push a year. That's what she thinks anyway.
"Qingmei, it seems that our opinions coincide." Yan Jinxuan said with a smile.
Zhu Qingmei was a little embarrassed, she felt that Yan Jinxuan was quite interesting for the first time. But she didn't look at him, her eyes were still fixed on her father.
"It's been too long at the end of the year after tomorrow, think about this family affair you ordered, it's been ten years, how many decades can there be in your life?" The Nine Princes sighed.
Zhu Qingmei may not be able to understand this, but Yan Jinxuan can understand it, so he said: "Lord Wang, it is because of this that we don't live too reluctantly and too aggrieved." I know I'm not qualified to be too critical. But marriage is a big matter, happiness is the key, let's wait until each other is ready. ”
When the Nine Princes heard this, they suddenly felt depressed in their chests, and they didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Although Yan Jinxuan's words were not inappropriate, they vaguely seemed to be picky about Zhu Qingmei.
But even if he was picky in his heart, with his cleverness, he should have understood that this was an unchangeable thing, so the Nine Princes also decided to bite the bullet in this matter and not give him too much room for regret, so the Nine Princes said: "Jinxuan, don't worry, I will find someone to teach her." I promise to train her well within a year, which can be regarded as a little reward for your ten years of waiting for her. ”
Sure enough, the old ginger is spicy!
Yan Jinxuan was slightly stunned.
However he was not subdued, but he was also well aware that his leeway in this matter was extremely limited, then. Since the Ninth Prince has made concessions, he doesn't want to gain an inch anymore, so he said: "Okay, I also look forward to seeing the change of the county lord in a year, then, let's preliminarily set the date of marriage in the year after next." How about making a decision at the beginning of the year, the middle of the year, or the end of the year, depending on the situation at that time? ”
This is a building that people can't be more picky, so the Nine Princes nodded.
Zhu Qingmei also realized that she only had a year to prepare, and she suddenly panicked for no reason, she didn't want to stay here longer, as if she was afraid that they would change their minds at any time, so she said, "Then I'll go out first." After saying that, the two of them ran away as if they were blessed.
The Nine Princes looked at her back, quite hateful.
In fact, I don't know how much I can train her in a year, after all, it is difficult to change a person.
But her current appearance is indeed not suitable for being a wife and daughter-in-law.
So we have to do it anyway.
Yan Jinxuan talked to him about some inconsequential things again, and then left.
He might not come to see them until the end of the year, so he glanced back after leaving the gate of the Zongwang Mansion.
When they returned to the Yan Mansion, Mrs. Lu and Old Madam Lin immediately came over and asked, "What did the Ninth Prince say?" ”
"The final date will be determined for the year after next year, and the specific date will be determined at that time." Yan Jinxuan said.
"Uh-huh." They felt that this was an expected answer, so there was not much criticism. I asked him if he had lunch.
Because he ate a lot of snacks when he was drinking at the prince's house, and he didn't have much appetite now, he said, "I've eaten." ”
Then he went back to his study.
When he returned to the study, he took out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and began to draw.
Drawing and drawing, what appeared in my mind was Su Shanyun's voice and smile.
He put down his pen and looked out the window at the garden.
I don't know how she's doing over there these days.
He suddenly wanted to see her.
Thinking that he still had half a day to pass the time at will, he immediately panicked Old Madam Lin and Madam Lu, and rushed to Su Zizhao's house in a carriage with Gu Song. (To be continued.) )
