100 Asking for marriage
Although the conversation was not pleasant, He Yuanfang still maintained a perfect smile when he went out, wearing it on his face like a mask, silently announcing his victory to others. As if Lan Qi's humiliation and Li Shuhua's refusal did not exist, she was the one who won the most.
Maintaining a perfect smile, He Yuanfang walked out of the business with her head held high, her pace became faster, and when she got into the carriage, she could no longer hold back the shame and despair in her heart, leaning against the wall of the car weakly, tears coming out of her eyes.
If she hadn't been cornered, she wouldn't have found Li Shuhua at all! But what she didn't expect was that Li Shuhua refused to agree to such a simple thing! She just wanted to buy some seeds, as long as Li Shuhua was willing to sell them to her, she didn't need to ......
Thinking of what He Liushi said, He Yuanfang felt a chill again. Since she was abandoned by Shang Shixun, she has become disheartened and no longer wants to get married. In the past three years, she has been helping to manage the He family's business, she thinks she is doing a good job, she thought that this life would always pass like this, but she didn't expect that He Liu's family wanted her to ......
She pinched her palms fiercely, thinking of what she would face when she returned to the He family, and her hatred for Li Shuhua deepened in her heart.
In the past three years, she has been reminded of the humiliation she has received at the business. Thinking of Li Shuhua's bloated body, she hated it, she was unwilling! Where is Li Shuhua better than her? Shang Shigong abandoned her, but he had a deep affection for Li Shuhua, what is this for!
It's just that no matter how unwilling she is in her heart, she also knows that it is impossible for her to work with Shang Shigong. So she deliberately forgot about Shang Shigong and only focused on managing the He family's industry. Until a few days ago, He Liushi suddenly told her. Someone asked the He family to marry her.
The man's surname was Gu, and he was mainly engaged in the trading of medicinal herbs and grain. He is the richest man in Qingzhou, and he can be described as a big business. His original wife had gone two years earlier. Now I want to marry He Yuanfang as my stepfamily. As long as He Liu's family agrees, he will help take care of the He family's business, and he can also help 'Xiangmanlou' suppress 'Yipinxian' and provide the spices needed for 'Xiangmanlou'.
He Yuanfang could see that He Liu's family was very tempted, but she didn't want to! What if the surname Gu is rich? It's just a lowly businessman! If she marries him, won't she be self-inferior? When the time comes, what qualifications does she have to laugh at Li Shuhua?
She got angry and quarreled with He Liu. She regretted the quarrel.
He Liu's family is no longer the mother who indulged her infinitely at the beginning. He Liushi directly told her that unless she could get vegetables and spices from the merchants, she would have to marry into the Gu family obediently.
After hesitating for a day, she really couldn't think of any other way, so she had to write an invitation and send it to Li Shuhua to ask her to meet. Who knew that Li Shuhua directly refused to meet, she had no choice, so she came to the door in person with a cheeky face. even stayed at the door, just to see Li Shuhua and ask her to cooperate with him.
It's just that when I went, I thought that Li Shuhua was the wife of Shang Shigong. Thinking of her bloated and ugly figure, she couldn't help but have the idea of comparison, and dressed up carefully. Even when walking into a business. She also deliberately wore a perfect smile, just to compare Li Shuhua. Shame her on herself.
As a result, this comparison thought became more and more out of control in his life, and even made things develop to the point of irreversibility.
Sit in a carriage. Thinking of all this, He Yuanfang regretted and despaired. If she bowed her head to Li Shuhua, would the result be different? However, how could she bow her head to Li Shuhua?
She simply couldn't do it!
He Yuanfang pinched his palms hard, feeling the slow swaying of the carriage, but he was very dazed in his heart. Is she really going to marry a merchant?
She was in a daze when the carriage suddenly stopped. At this time, Xuerui, the maid who had been kneeling in the corner of the carriage and acting as a wooden man, reminded in a low voice: "Miss, you have arrived home." ”
He Yuanfang glanced at her coldly, lowered his voice and asked, "What did you see just now?" ”
Xue Rui's body trembled, and her head was buried lower: "The slave didn't see anything!" ”
He Yuanfang provoked a sneer with satisfaction: "That's good, today's matter, if you dare to say half a word, I will let people gouge out your eyeballs and pull out your tongue!" ”
Ever since Xue Ying's incident, He Yuanfang has understood that he must not be too merciful to deal with the maids around him, and he must let them control their mouths and know what to say and what not to say!
Signaling Xue Rui to go down first, He Yuanfang carefully wiped the tears on his face with a silk handkerchief, and then got out of the carriage. However, after entering the house, He Yuanfang found that there were guests at home.
Her heart instantly lifted, who is coming?
The guest was in the main hall, and she had to pass through it to get to the inner courtyard. He Yuanfang suddenly regretted it, if she had known that someone would come, she should have taken her to leave. After hesitating for a moment, He Yuanfang didn't continue to walk forward, but asked Xue Rui to ask someone who it was.
Xue Rui came back soon, and she glanced at He Yuanfang quickly, with a little trepidation in her eyes. He Yuanfang narrowed his eyes, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. She lowered her voice and asked, "Say, who is here?" ”
Xue Rui didn't dare to look at her again, but buried her head and said, "Miss, the slave maid heard that it was the old man who came, and she was talking to the old lady." ”
After all, the only man in the He family, He Yunyi, is only ten years old, and it is impossible for him to come out to entertain guests, and the rest are He Liushi and Zhang Xiuhua. Zhang Xiuhua's identity is naturally more unsuitable for coming out to meet male guests, only He Liu's identity is suitable.
As soon as He Yuanfang heard that his surname was Gu, he turned around and wanted to go out. However, just a few steps away, a mother-in-law chased after him. This person is none other than the henchman beside He Liu. He Yuanfang didn't take her seriously before, but after losing He Liu's favor, she didn't dare to offend this person at all.
The man walked very fast, and came to He Yuanfang in a blink of an eye. She quietly blocked He Yuanfang's way, and said with a smile: "Miss, go in with the slave maid, there is a guest at home, and the old lady wants you to meet it." ”
He Yuanfang naturally refused to see the person surnamed Gu, she looked at the mother-in-law who stopped in front of her, her eyes cooled and she instantly lowered her eyes, and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll go first." ”
The mother-in-law refused to let go, but continued to smile and said, "Miss, this is what the old lady meant. The old lady is also sympathetic to you, and she wants you to see for yourself in the past, if you are really not satisfied, she will push the matter off. ”
He Yuanfang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he raised his eyes and looked at the woman suspiciously: "What you said is true?" Didn't lie to me? ”
The mother-in-law knew that she was moved, and said with a smile: "Of course it's true, the slave doesn't dare to deceive the eldest lady." ”
He Yuanfang nodded: "Okay, it's not an important matter anyway, I'll go see him." ”
The mother-in-law immediately led the way in front and led He Yuanfang in. He Yuanfang walked in quietly, she had already made up her mind in her heart, since He Liu's family gave her the opportunity to choose, then she would directly tell He Liu's dissatisfaction with this surnamed Gu at that time.
However, when He Yuanfang walked into the main hall and saw the people inside, she was stunned. She originally thought that a businessman would either be full of fat and obscene or submissive, but she didn't expect that this person would be tall and burly, with eyebrows that flew obliquely into the temples as sharp as a blade, a pair of eyes as bright as cold stars, a straight nose, slightly thin lips, and a resolute facial line, like a knife carving.
Although this person's face is not as delicate as that of Shang Shigong, it has more of a fierce aura. He doesn't look like a businessman, but like a general on the battlefield. Although her husband was noble, he was far inferior to the person in front of him.
As if sensing He Yuanfang's gaze, the man looked at her, then curled the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly, and stood up and bowed to her.
He Yuanfang looked at his smile, and his heartbeat suddenly increased. Her face flushed slightly, and then she ran out of the house in a panic, as if something was chasing after her.
He Liu's subconsciously looked at Gu Yunhai, although she could see that He Yuanfang was moved, she was worried that Gu Yunhai would think He Yuanfang was rude, and then felt that the daughters of the He family had no rules. When she looked at it, she saw that Gu Yunhai was looking at He Yuanfang's back, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl.
She actually didn't look down on the merchants, but after seeing Gu Yunhai, she felt that this person was not an ordinary person, so she planned to match him with He Yuanfang. As soon as she told He Yuanfang, He Yuanfang was so angry that she quarreled with her, and He Liu's heart became angry, so he forced He Yuanfang to find a merchant to buy vegetables and spices.
She knew in her heart that the merchant would definitely not agree to the He family's request. Even if He Yuanfang went, it was just in vain.
However, she didn't expect that Gu Yunhai would come to the He family again so soon. not only brought her a heavy gift, but also asked her to marry He Yuanfang very earnestly, and said that he had recognized He Yuanfang, if she refused to agree, he would have to wait until He Yuanfang married someone else.
He Liushi looked at him with a decent face, his expression was sincere, and he was not like a fake, and he was also relieved in his heart. Although she was completely disappointed in He Yuanfang three years ago, He Yuanfang has behaved well in the past three years, plus after all, she is her own flesh and blood, if she can really marry a good man who cherishes her, she naturally has no reason to be unhappy as a mother.
Although He Liushi was satisfied, he still deliberately said: "This girl has been spoiled by me, and there are no rules at all, so you can laugh at it." ”
Gu Yunhai smiled: "You are too modest, and the younger generation thinks that Ling Yan is very good like this." It was the younger generation who came uninvited and frightened her, so she should make amends. ”
He Liu was amused by him and couldn't help but laugh. Her daughter is really blessed, even if something like that happens, she can find such a good man.
Gu Yunhai was also laughing, he lowered his eyes slightly, and a trace of mockery flashed in his eyes. (To be continued......)
