Chapter 151: Marriage
As soon as Luo Qi'er left, only Zhang Wanru and Han Jiangxue were left in the whole room, and Han Jiangxue didn't go around much, and directly asked Zhang Wanru if she had anything to say if she was left alone.
With a wave of her hand, Zhang Wanru first signaled the servants in the house to retreat.
"Jiang Xue, you're not too young, but now you've considered your own marriage?" After there was no one else, Zhang Wanru didn't go around, looked at Han Jiangxue and asked with a relaxed expression.
Han Jiangxue was slightly surprised when she heard that her marriage was mentioned, but she didn't deliberately avoid it: "I really haven't thought about it, anyway, my father won't urge it, so there's no need to worry." ”
"What did your father not urge, did you not know that your father had already agreed to your own marriage and made his own decision?" Zhang Wanru smiled, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but blink twice, as if she knew that you weren't telling the truth.
Han Jiangxue was not uncomfortable, so she simply smiled and said, "Didn't I just start learning the piano with Mr. Chuan, so naturally I didn't think about thinking about marriage so early." A few days ago, the old man told me not to think nonsense all day long, and let me practice the piano first. ”
Hearing Han Jiangxue say this, Zhang Wanru was a little unconvinced, so she explained: "Jiang Xue, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean anything to ask you about this, and I didn't want to persuade you to marry into the Zhang family." I'm really thinking about you, if you have someone you like, it's best to book it in these two months. ”
"Why?" Seeing that Zhang Wanru didn't seem to be joking, Han Jiangxue didn't quite understand.
Zhang Wanru hesitated, but then did not hide it. narrowed the distance between him and Han Jiangxue, and whispered: "You don't know, next year the emperor will be a big draft girl!" ”
Hear this. Han Jiangxue was not surprised at all, because this did happen in the previous life, but she didn't expect the Zhang family to get the news so early, nor did she expect Zhang Wanru to tell her the news so solemnly.
"A re-election?" Although she already had a bottom in her heart, Han Jiangxue still showed some surprise: "It is true that the emperor has not chosen a newcomer to supplement the harem for several years, although it is a little unexpected, but it is also a reasonable thing." And. What does this draft girl have to do with me? ”
The focus is, of course, the last sentence, Han Jiangxue naturally knows that it is impossible for Zhang Wanru to remind herself for no reason.
"If you follow the rules of the past, this draft has nothing to do with you. Because you are over sixteen years old, but next year the rules will be changed, and it is said that among the famous families, anyone under the age of seventeen. A woman over the age of fourteen. They all have to enter the palace to run for election. So once the election is held next year, it's about you! ”
Zhang Wanru sighed and said: "Originally, I didn't have to marry to the south in such a hurry, although the family affair was not too satisfying, but it was still much better than entering the palace." ”
Hearing this, Han Jiangxue was really surprised, she said how Zhang Wanru got engaged to get married so quickly, she hadn't heard much about it before, it turned out that it was the Zhang family who wanted to avoid their daughter from entering the palace. That's what was done in advance.
The emperor's thoughts, the Zhang family had noticed it so early. This also shows the strength and uniqueness of the Zhang family, no wonder among the three kings and four families, the only Zhang family has suffered the least hidden losses over the years. Even Mo Li only learned early in the morning that the emperor would have a harem for next year's election, but he didn't expect the age of the draft to fluctuate by one year, so he didn't pay too much attention to this matter.
"What does the emperor want to do?" Han Jiangxue frowned, and suddenly said with some amusement: "Is he planning to catch all the daughters of the princely family in the palm of his hand?" ”
Seeing that Han Jiangxue was not in a hurry to laugh, Zhang Wanru asked with some worry: "Jiang Xue, why can you still laugh?" ”
No matter how you look at it, Zhang Wanru feels that Han Jiangxue is not the kind of person who wants to enter the palace, so it is incomprehensible to see that Han Jiangxue still has the heart to laugh out loud.
"It's okay, no matter how much this draft can't pick me." Han Jiangxue suppressed her smile, looked at Zhang Wanru and explained: "If it was before, I would have been so anxious that I didn't think about it, but now I don't have to worry about it." What I told you earlier was really not a joke, my master asked me to learn the piano with him honestly for the past three or five years, and don't think much about getting married or anything. You say that if I go to the palace, how can I still learn the piano with him every day? Before, I just talked casually as an old man, but now it seems that there is something in his words. ”
Han Jiangxue was sure that the emperor suddenly raised the age of the show girl by one year, and it was definitely not increased in order to let her enter the palace alone. Like the scourge she wants, it is estimated that the emperor never thought of getting her into the palace at all, nine times out of ten, as she said before, this is a big net, a big net that can be used by as many people as you want. And as long as the master said a word, the old imperial uncle opened his mouth, and of course the emperor would not come to grab this closed disciple with his old imperial uncle.
"This is also true, what kind of identity Mr. Chuan is, since he accepted you as a closed disciple, it is naturally impossible to give up halfway like this. He personally said that in the past three or five years, you should not think about it, but I am afraid that I already know about next year's draft, so I will let you feel at ease as soon as possible. In this way, Zhang Wanru couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Uncle Huang's temper is also very tight, the emperor knows that you are his new disciple, so naturally he will not turn his face with Uncle Huang for such a thing." ”
"Sister Wanru, thank you!" Han Jiangxue thanked Zhang Wanru sincerely, she could see that Zhang Wanru was really thinking about her, not just pretending to be on her face.
"Thank you, in fact, I should have told you about this earlier, but at that time we weren't sure if we were ready to readjust the age." Zhang Wanru didn't hesitate to speak, and explained a few more words: "In addition, at that time, I also thought that you and my eldest brother could have some fate, thinking that if the two families got married, you didn't have to worry about entering the palace." It's just that I didn't expect many things to change from outside, so I went all the way to this time to talk to you. Fortunately, you now have such a good master, but you have saved a big trouble. ”
Zhang Wanru's words carried a little subconscious pity. Speaking from her heart, she really likes Han Jiangxue now, plus she knows her brother's mind best, if she can, of course, she hopes that her brother can get his wish, hopes that Han and Zhang's two families will become in-laws, and hopes that Han Jiangxue can become her sister-in-law.
It's just that this kind of thing is really not something that any person can barely make, especially a woman with a heart like Han Jiangxue, after so many things, it is reasonable to finally reject the Zhang family and her brother.
"Actually, to be honest, if possible, I still hope you can consider my eldest brother." After a while, Zhang Wanru finally couldn't help but speak for her brother: "Jiang Xue, you don't know that my eldest brother really likes you now, and those things before were not his intention, and he is not willing to regret his marriage contract with you and get engaged to Han Yajing, at that time he also had a cold war with my father and mother for a long time, but after all, he still had to obey the arrangement of the entire family." Perhaps, you can reconsider, if you are willing to give him another chance, I believe that my eldest brother will be the best husband in the future, and will be very good to you. ”
Seeing Zhang Wanru's expectant eyes, Han Jiangxue had to break her hope: "Sister Wanru, I understand what you mean, and I also understand that Brother Zhang is good to me." Actually, from beginning to end, I didn't blame Brother Zhang for giving up the first marriage contract, I can understand his situation, so naturally there is nothing to blame. It's just that I've always thought of him as a brother, and I don't have any other thoughts after that. Therefore, I hope that in the future he will be able to find a wife who is really good to him, and I hope that no matter what, our two families can continue to have a relationship between the two families no matter what the circumstances. ”
didn't say more, but Han Jiangxue had already made her meaning thorough, Zhang Wanru originally just wanted to speak for her brother for a while, to see if there was any possibility of recovery, but now seeing that Han Jiangxue's attitude is so clear, some of the words she had prepared before, and some things related to her brother and Han Jiangxue were not necessary to say more.
"Okay, actually, I just can't help but want to try again, don't worry about it, I won't mention it in the future." She smiled, and sure enough, didn't say anything more, and quickly moved on to something else.
Although she is a member of the Zhang family, she will soon marry into another family, and many things are really not something she can take care of. Turning her head and thinking about it, such a thing couldn't be forced in the first place, and she was a little confused at the beginning.
The two talked for a short time, there was nothing to do, and Han Jiangxue got up to say goodbye. Zhang Wanru didn't stay long, got up and personally sent people out.
When he passed by the water pavilion in the garden, he saw Zhang Haocheng standing there thoughtfully, and after seeing Han Jiangxue, he quickly walked over.
"Sister, I just want to ask Jiang Xue about something, I'll send her out for you in a while." Zhang Haocheng looked at his sister, and there was nothing unusual in his expression, calm and calm.
Seeing this, Zhang Wanru glanced at Han Jiangxue first, and saw that Han Jiangxue did not show any objection, so she looked at her brother again and nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back to the room first, and I'll bother my eldest brother to send Jiang Xue to the car for me in a while." ”
After that, Zhang Wanru didn't stay any longer, and soon turned around and left first. (To be continued......)
