Chapter 261: The Matter of Engagement
Su Chen was stunned for a moment, feeling a little sudden about Han Xizai's proposal, but after thinking about it carefully, he really needed a conclusion about his matter with Qin Jing.
Although Qin Jing did not speak, he said how much he liked him and how much he loved him, but Qin Jing repeatedly sacrificed his life to save him, relied on Su Mansion not to leave, and took his room for himself, which was actually the expression of the violent girl's feelings.
She will not be gentle and quiet, say some sweet words, and create a scene under the moon before the flowers to confess, which is not in line with Peng Jingqing's character.
And Su Chen has just been in Nantang for two months, and he is gradually adapting to this identity and social background, and he is not keen on emotional things; In addition, he was a straight man who didn't have a girlfriend in his previous life, so he didn't have any experience in romance.
From this point of view, Su Chen and Qin Jing can be regarded as seeing the truth in adversity, and a little bit of it comes naturally, and they have feelings for each other, but neither of them said it to their faces.
At this time, Governor Peng had already broken the words, and Han Xizai took the initiative to help the media, so Su Chen had no reason or excuse to refuse.
What's more, he doesn't want to hurt Qinqing, and he also has a good impression of her, and the engagement is not unacceptable.
"I and Qinqing, met in the end of the micro, although she is the prefect's daughter, but she treats people sincerely, without any contempt for me, a down-and-out scholar, and has repeatedly helped me, rescued me, solved problems for me, and even risked her life, I Su Chen can get a wife like this, of course I can't ask for it! However, Zai Gang broke off the marriage contract with the Bai family Susu girl, promising that she would not be able to get married for three years, and it would be difficult to break her promise, so for the time being, she could only get engaged to Su Su first, and then marry three years later, I don't know if Uncle Peng can accept it, and whether Qin Jing will accept it. ”
Su Chen said very sincerely, and he didn't want to hide anything, because the relationship between Bai Susu and Peng Jingqing belonged to best friends, and the matter between the three of them had long been known by Peng Zeliang, so it would be more secure for him to be honest.
After Peng Zeliang listened, he fell into a short silence, and he couldn't jump out of the glitch for Su Chen's answer, although he was not completely satisfied, at least he didn't see the wrong person.
He was not ungrateful, shirked and evaded, and took the initiative to admit that he liked Jingqing, which made Peng Zeliang feel relieved and had a lot of face.
"The eldest husband walks in the world, and he should keep his promises, and since you have promised Bai Susu, you must fulfill your oath, which is understandable. Although three years is a long time, you and Qinqing are not very old, you can get married first, and then get married after three years. ”
Peng Zeliang made an empathetic gesture, and he felt sorry for his daughter, and he didn't want to marry her at the age of sixteen for the time being, and when she was nineteen years old, although she was a little older, she could stay at home for three years, and she could accompany him more.
In addition, he also has to observe Su Chen's performance in the past two or three years, whether he can enter the rank and rank, and have greater progress and achievements.
Han Xizai saw that Su Chen and Peng Zeliang had no objections, and said with a smile: "Then congratulations to the two of you, you will be friends with Weng and your son-in-law from now on." ”
Peng Zeliang waved his hand and said: "Before getting married, I can't talk about Weng's son-in-law, it depends on Yixuan's future performance." ”
Su Chen smiled embarrassedly, listening to the meaning of Governor Peng's words, he would continue to test him before getting married.
Wang Tingshi and Ning Guogong also congratulated Peng Zeliang one after another, after all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this Su Chen is extremely talented, rare in the world, and it will be more than a thing in the pool in the future!
Ning Guogong was half joking, and said with half emotion: "If it weren't for Brother Peng Xian's earlier move, Xu couldn't help but recruit Yixuan as his son-in-law." ”
Peng Zeliang smiled and said: "No, the talented girl in Brother Xu's family has eyes above the top, and ordinary people can't look down on her." ”
Ning Guogong sighed: "Alas, just because the eyes are above the top, they are already close to their twentieth decade, they haven't married yet, they have become old girls, and they will be older in the future, how can it be good!" It is rare to have a young talent like Yi Xuan, every time she writes poems and songs, it will inevitably arouse Qingwan's interest, she has copied many times in the study, and she continues to read and recite it, and she also uses the symbol algorithms that Xuan taught her, and she also studies often at home, and she runs to Su Mansion if she has nothing to do, I have never seen her care about a person like this. ”
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned, it seems that Su Chen's charm, even Xu Qingwan, the first talented woman in Runzhou, was also affected by her talent.
"Haha, that Yixuan's charm is really big!" Han Xizai laughed, thinking that this kind of late-born charm was very interesting.
Peng Zeliang smiled on the surface, but his heart tightened slightly, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Su Chen, thinking that he would tell Su Chen more in the future, don't provoke Xu Cainu, she has to be noble and talented, and she will definitely not be a concubine, and if she doesn't get it in the future, she will become the enemy of Qinqing.
The feast continued, and everyone drank and laughed with each other, but it was very speculative.
During the banquet, he also talked about the poem written by Su Chen, and asked Su Chen face-to-face with some incomprehensible words and sentences, why he wrote that sentence, but Su Chen found an appropriate excuse to prevaricate.
After the family banquet in the Han Mansion, Su Chen was sent back to the Su Family Mansion by Han Yunpeng.
"Brother Su, are you really going to participate in the imperial examination?"
Su Chen nodded and said: "Well, let's fight it back, in case I enter the rank and the first, I will be an official errand in the future, as for the business matters, it will not affect it, maybe I will work in the court for a few years, and if I don't want to do it, I will resign from the official position and start business." ”
Han Yunpeng said worriedly: "However, my father once told me that officialdom is a big dye vat and a point of no return. Otherwise, it's easy to fall prey. Even if you take the initiative to resign, your hostile faction may not be willing to let you go in the future. The people don't fight with the rich, the rich don't fight with the officials, you have to be an official, and if you offend people, you have to keep being bigger and higher, so that the officials who have offended you can't do anything about you. ”
After listening carefully, Su Chen felt that these words were quite reasonable, but there was no turning back when he opened the bow, so he could only take one step at a time.
After getting out of the carriage, Su Chen returned to the mansion alone, Han Yunpeng was a little afraid to see Qinqing, so he boarded the car directly and left, and did not enter the gate.
When Su Chen returned to the mansion, he found that Xu Qingwan, Liu Monong, Ling'er, and Zhou Jiamin were playing mahjong in the main hall of the reception, and they disappeared from the figure of Qinqing, and asked with some curiosity: "Where is Qinqing?" ”
Yang Ling'er said: "Sister Qinqing went back to the room, and the maid from Peng's Mansion came to convey the news, saying that Peng's prefect's mansion had promoted Jiangning Mansion Yin, and she was going to move to Jinling City in a few days. ”
What kind of anger is this, her father has been promoted several levels of official rank in a row, and she can't be excited to jump high if she is someone else, she is good, and she goes back to the room to sulk.
Liu Mo was a little more careful, and said, "Brother Su, go over and visit, Qinqing, it seems that you don't want to go to Jinling." ”
"Got it, you guys keep playing." Su Chen sighed in his heart, is this stupid girl really so emotional?
