Chapter 244: Urging Marriage in the Car
At the luncheon arranged by the Han Mansion, everyone drank to the fullest, Han Xizai, Wang Tingshi, and Peng Zhifu all ate a lot of wine, while Su Chen did not drink much, and he was a little drunk.
When Su Chen left the house, Peng Zeliang also said goodbye and wanted to take a car with him to Su's house and visit his daughter Peng Jingqing by the way.
Due to the recent busy official affairs of the prefect's yamen, he has been constantly accepting lawsuits from the people to complain about grievances, and has begun to interrogate the cases of the Ding family's descendants and collateral relatives one after another.
The car was crushed against the bluestone pavement, making a creaking sound, and there were some slight bumps in the carriage.
Peng Zeliang was anesthetized by the strength of the wine, his body shook a little, and his eyes stared at Su Chen: "You and Qinqing, what do you think?" β
Su Chen was originally a little sleepy by the car, but when he heard the prefect ask like this, he was suddenly a little shocked, and his drunkenness became much more sober.
"Lord Prefect, me and Qinqing, what do you think?" Su Chen asked strangely.
Peng Zeliang snorted lightly: "Pretend to be confused with the old man, right?" I think you're in debt for the board. β
"I'm ......" Su Chen paused for a moment, and suddenly realized that the other party should have asked about his relationship with Qinqing.
To tell the truth, Su Chen has gradually had a good impression of Qin Jing from resisting, evading, and admitting to Qin Jing before, but the two of them are still in the early stage of ignorant love, and they have not broken the relationship, nor have they confessed too much, such as trickling water, light and natural, if you taste it carefully, you may be as happy as you are.
Now that this topic has been brought up on the surface, and it has been said by Qinqing's father, it is difficult for him to avoid it anymore, and he has really faced his love life for the first time.
Who is the woman you like?
Peng Jingqing, or Bai Susu, or Liu Monong?
It seems that they have gradually gained a good feeling, who should they marry in the future? Su Chen hesitated, but because Liu Monong was the identity of Qinglou Huadan, in the current secular concept, he could only be a concubine, but it did not affect the position of the wife.
So among the two daughters of Qin Jing and Su Su, if you want to choose a wife, frankly speaking, Su Su knows how to run a family, if she can marry into the Su family and let her run and take care of the family business, she will be able to build the Su family into another top giant family in the future.
However, Su Chen felt that Su Su's rationality was greater than her sensibility, and he couldn't guess how far the relationship with her could develop, because Bai Susu had always put the interests of the family first, calm and wise. But Su Chen prefers his beloved, and he can give up things outside his body for him.
For example, Qin Qin, in order to protect him, she didn't even care about her own life, even if she was the daughter of the prefect, she was able to think about Su Chen so much, and she didn't even go back to her own more luxurious Peng Mansion. For the sake of one person like this, he can disregard his life, and this fiery true affection makes Su Chen more likely to move.
Just like Zhao Min's dare to love and hate, you can do without any aristocratic status and money. But Zhou Zhiruo was more concerned about glorifying his master because of his teacher's fate. The weight of feelings in the heart is different, and in the end, it leads to the deviation of the leader of the Ming Sect, the person he loves the most.
Love can't be mixed with too many things, otherwise it will change its taste. But people live in the world, they don't have a certain material and identity, and they don't talk about any feelings.
"Qin Jing's thoughts, even I, the father, can see it clearly, you don't still understand, right?" Governor Peng's face was a little heavy, and when it came to his daughter's feelings, as well as his self-esteem and happiness, he had to be cautious.
Su Chen saw that Peng Zhifu's expression was serious, and he knew that he couldn't dodge it, so he arched his hand and said: "The prefect is not strange, she also likes Qianqing in the next, especially when she saves me repeatedly, regardless of her own comfort, and she is not a clay person below, how can she not be tempted?" It's just that Su is the son of a criminal minister, his family is in the middle of the road, whether he has merit or not, and he feels that he is not worthy of the identity of the prefect's daughter. In addition, the acquaintance has been short for a short time, and I still need to know more, so I am not in a hurry to confess, I just want to keep it for the future, when Su's family situation improves, and I have made some achievements, it is not too late to talk about the private affairs of my children. β
Peng Zeliang listened to Su Chen's words so sincerely, and it was reasonable, nodded slightly, looked at Su Chen's gaze, and changed from stern to soft.
He stretched out his hand and patted Su Chen's shoulder, and said with a faint smile: "Qin Jing really didn't see the wrong person, you kid can have such an idea, you can be regarded as conscientious and responsible." Qin Jing is sixteen years old this year, and there is no hurry to talk about marriage, you can prepare for the autumn festival with peace of mind, and after three months, the imperial examination will be a blockbuster, even if it is not a solution to the yuan, you have to be a high school tribute student, and you will participate in the spring in Jinling next year, at least you must be ranked second, so that you can stay in Beijing as an official, Han Shilang and others, will get you a good errand, and the future will be unlimited. β
When Su Chen heard this, he smiled a little bitterly, and when he heard this, he seemed to agree with him and Qin Jing?
I heard him right, but I let him go like a thief!
Could it be that he has been recognized by the Peng Governor's Mansion?
"That, Lord Prefect ......" Su Chen said a little dryly.
Peng Zeliang stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "In the future, you can call the prefect in the Yamen, and you don't have to be so polite in other places, just call Uncle Peng directly." β
"Uncle Peng!" After Su Chen called out embarrassedly, he said, "What do you mean, agree that I and Qin Jing are in love?" β
Peng Zeliang listened to the new word "love and relationship", and said with a smile: "It's still you young people, and you old have some strange words." However, although Peng has the intention to arrange your marriage with the little girl for the time being, there are also conditions: first, you can't have excessive etiquette, stay for a few days, and let her go back to Peng's mansion to live, you can visit her more if you have nothing to do, instead of letting her be a big girl's house, showing up all day long to drill into your house, what does it look like and what kind of system it becomes! β
Su Chen thought to herself, you, your precious girl, are not a safe girl at all, when she didn't know me, she was not at home all day!
"Second, you must be able to successfully become a tribute student in the autumn imperial examination, and have the qualifications to enter Beijing to catch the exam, I will agree, I will give you an engagement first, and after the title of the gold list, you can get married in the Mid-Autumn Festival next year."
"Married?" Su Chen was directly dumbfounded, thinking that it was a little too fast, why did he just agree to love and talk about marriage.
In fact, this is the thinking of the ancients, there is no free love to drag on for a few years, marriage pays attention to "the life of parents, the words of the matchmaker", and few people have been in love before marriage. But this Peng Jingqing is a special example, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, her personality is arrogant, and she has repeatedly saved Su Chen regardless of her own comfort, and she has already shown her heart, and Peng Zhifu sees it in her eyes.
But just because young people like each other can impress their elders, that's still too naΓ―ve.
The reason why Peng Zeliang gradually accepted Su Chen was because he discovered little by little that Su Chen, a young man, although he was the son of a criminal minister, although he was not a well-known person, his talent was amazing, his medical skills were brilliant, and he knew how to reason with things, he could turn stones into gold, and he had the ability to create huge wealth.
In this way, even if he does not have a luxurious identity and background, but just relying on Su Chen's poetry talent and material ability, it is only a matter of time before he seeks fame and gathers wealth.
What's more, the Sun Party of the entire imperial court, under the guidance of Han Xizai, regarded Su Chen as his own person, and even regarded him as the key figure in the future Sun Party's reversal into a big event, so Peng Zeliang would not despise it.
"Uncle Peng, I promised Miss Bai Susu that she would not be able to marry within three years, so I successfully dissolved the marriage contract with Su Su, if I regret it, I am afraid I will not be able to explain."
"Is that so?" Peng Zeliangguang heard Qin Jing mention that Su Chen had broken off the marriage contract with Bai Susu, but he didn't know the specific content, and now it involves a gentleman's promise that he will not get married in three years, and he is the daughter of a close friend, which is a bit difficult to do, and he can't use his identity as a prefect to threaten the other party.
"In three years, I'll be nineteen years old, which is a bit too old." Peng Zeliang muttered to himself, frowned slightly, and fell into thought.
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
