Chapter 42: Daughter's Heart
said that Zhang Ru staggered away as if he had lost his soul, and Su Qiqi seemed to be suffocated at that moment.
The weak footsteps, each step as strong as a hammer on her soft heart. The women of this era have a limitation, that is, they rarely meet men who really make them tempted.
In the Ming Dynasty, which paid attention to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, young men and women were married at the age of twelve or thirteen, married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and had children at the age of sixteen or seventeen.
For some men in the appearance association, this method is simply a crime, but they are okay, the big deal is to take concubines, make a partial room, engage in an outer room, and if you have money, you can go to the hook bar from time to time to hook up with Sister Yao. The most unfortunate are the women of the Appearance Association, who are oppressed like a curse by the idea of obeying their fathers at home, marrying their husbands, and obeying their husbands and sons.
So even if they marry a husband who is as ugly as a toad, they don't have the slightest say in this era.
Relatively speaking, Su Qiqi is a little different from ordinary women, but in her bones, she still has many essential similarities with women of this era.
In the past, some naughty granddaughters were in a daze for a few hours without eating or drinking, and the monk Wuxiang couldn't make her smile even if he tried his best.
He can be calm in the face of hundreds of brocade guards, but he can't face his stunned granddaughter Su Qiqi.
went out of the city overnight, told a middle-aged man about Su Qiqi's situation, and then took the middle-aged man with a bit of fairy wind and bone temperament into Datong Mansion City overnight.
There were a few plain side dishes in the meditation room, and a bowl of white rice was completely placed in front of Su Qiqi, the food was already cold, but Su Qiqi had no intention of moving.
She felt as uncomfortable as turning over the river, and the moment she saw the slightly vicissitudes of life, she found that she didn't seem to have any ill feelings towards this man.
Saying things like I don't like you is just out of a woman's instinctive vigilance, and also out of identity.
But after hurting the other party's heart, she realized that while hurting that person, she also seemed to be injured. Now, her heart is as uncomfortable as a pinprick, but she is powerless to recover.
"Qiqi, let's eat something! You didn't do anything wrong with Grandpa Wuxiang, you and him, there will be no results. The middle-aged man has a mustache on his chin, his hair is meticulously pulled up, and his eyebrows are very long, reaching the corners of his eyes.
At this time, he was looking at Su Qiqi with kindness.
His soft questioning did not make Su Qiqi wake up from his nightmare, and his sluggish appearance made the middle-aged man feel painful.
After a while, he reached out and gently shook Su Qiqi's shoulder: "Qiqi, listen to my father's words, go back to the mountains with my father, and don't pay attention to this worldly matter in the future." ”
Seeing him say this, Wuxiang, who was full of self-blame on the side, felt a little cruel, for a young woman, giving up everything in the red dust was more uncomfortable than killing her.
At this time, Su Qiqi finally reacted: "Dad, I won't go back." ”
"But the way you are now, not by your father's side, how can your father rest assured!" The middle-aged man couldn't help but raise his voice.
Su Qiqi's tone was very cold: "Dad, my daughter wants to go north." ”
The middle-aged man frowned when he heard this: "Going north? What are you doing going north? ”
Wuxiang whispered: "Menghong, Zhang Ru, the nine-sided patrol general of the imperial court, will soon go north to Liaodong Town. ”
The middle-aged man's surname is Luo Mingqingzi Menghong, and his name is Wuwei Zhenren, but he is the leader of Wuwei Sect. The Wuwei Sect was born out of the White Lotus Sect, and the silent old mother was a big force against the Ming Dynasty.
Now Wuweijiao has not yet become a climate, but Su Qiqi, as Luo Qing's daughter, cannot be with Zhang Ru in this identity. This is also the reason why the old monk Wuxiang obviously likes Zhang Ru, but he has to beat the mandarin duck.
Luo Qing frowned: "Qiqi, that Zhang Ru is the person you dream of?" Have you forgotten who you are as a father? He is a person from the court, I am a person who is indestructible, you and him, after all, it is impossible! ”
"But my daughter can't pass the hurdle in her heart." Su Qiqi said with a crying voice.
The pleading in his daughter's eyes made Luo Qing's heart soften, he had been busy with teaching affairs for nothing all these years, and he cared a lot less about his daughter. So much so that his daughter has already moved her heart to a person, and he doesn't know how to persuade him.
If it was someone else, even if the other party was unwilling, even if it was tied, he could tie that person to his daughter. But the person her daughter likes is someone like Zhang Ru, who is extremely close to the royal family. Before the age of the weak crown, he became a member of the third grade and patrolled the sky on behalf of the sky, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
"No way!" Luo Qing's performance was very decisive.
For the sake of his own great cause, he will never allow his daughter to have anything to do with that Confucian.
Seeing that his father didn't let go, Su Qiqi turned his face to Wuxiang and said, "Grandpa Wuxiang, do you still accept apprentices?" ”
The old monk Wuxiang was asked by her like this, which can be regarded as a complete question, accepting apprentices? Could it be that the old man can still accept you as an apprentice? You are my grandchild, and I took you as an apprentice, how should you be addressed between father and daughter? Besides, your father is just one of your daughters, and if you can't do it, I definitely hope that you will have a beautiful and happy living environment. Even if I accept apprentices from the old monk, I can't accept you!
After being stunned for a while, Wuxiang decisively rejected Su Qiqi.
Luo Qing said a little angrily: "Qiqi, my father can rely on you for everything, but I can't rely on you for this matter." ”
Su Qiqi said: "Dad, since I was a child, my daughter has never begged you for anything, this time is whether my daughter begged you to succeed?" ”
Luo Qing said a little angrily: "What kind of medicine did Zhang Ru give you when he fell to the ground?" You've only met him twice, you've only known him for three days, why did you decide to go with him so desperately? Their kind of rich children, fresh clothes and angry horses, follow every day I don't know how many servants. But they also have a lot of women, and his name is everywhere in Flower Street and Willow Lane. Do you think you will be happy if you follow him? ”
Su Qiqi shook his head: "My daughter doesn't know why this is happening, my daughter only knows that she feels very uncomfortable now, and she is about to suffocate." ”
She didn't tell her father that she had such thoughts because she saw Zhang Ru's depressed back yesterday.
Sometimes liking someone is as simple as a look, a movement, or a back.
When Zhang Ru entered the Baiyi Temple, he came in with his chest open, but when he went out, his back was stiff and his steps were shaky.
"What kind of iniquity have I made! That Zhang Ru's situation has been found out by his father, he is the brother of the current crown prince Zhu Youjiao, he grew up in the palace since he was a child, what golden branches and jade leaves have not been seen, you just believe that he will like you? Luo Qing was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and the temperament of the fairy wind was forced by his daughter, and he completely showed his original form.
Su Qiqi bit his lower lip and didn't say a word, his small fists clenched tightly, his nails sinking deep into his palms but he didn't know it.
After a while, blood dripped from his fingers, and after Luo Qing saw it, he completely lost his sense of proportion, and waved his hand violently: "Okay, I don't care about you anymore, you can do whatever you want!" ”
Su Qiqi looked happy: "Thank you, Daddy." ”
Luo Qing's expression looked quite helpless: "The woman is not staying, your mother left early, and your father really cares a little less about you." It would be nice to take a trip to the north to at least see what kind of person he really is. If you still insist on following him after coming back, then Dad won't say anything, it's a big deal, this great cause, don't do it! ”
For the sake of his daughter, Luo Qing was able to give up everything.
It is said that a small amount is not a gentleman, no poison and no husband, and from the point of view of his family affection, he does not look like a person who does big things. But it is precisely because of his importance to family affection that Chenghua has been in the past few decades, and Daming has not been in chaos.
Speaking of which, Zhang Ru was able to grow up safely in the palace, thanks to this master.
finally let her daughter smile again, Luo Qing no longer had the heart to stay in Datong Mansion City, and left when it was dawning.
Before leaving, he knelt on the ground and said to Wuxiang: "Master, Qiqi, this kid is stubborn, and he goes all the way north, and he doesn't know what he will encounter. She is a weak woman, and she asked Master to take care of her all the way. ”
Wuxiang stretched out his hand to support Luo Qing: "Don't be like this, Qiqi, this child was watched by Lao Ke grew up, and with Lao Ke here, no one can bully her." If you really don't want to let go, the old man can do it. ”
Luo Qing stood up and shook his head after thinking about it: "It's still not necessary, that kid has something, Qiqi will be sad." I will let the brothers in the sect find out what kind of person this Zhang Ru is, and I believe that I will soon find out. The disciple believes that Qiqi will wake up one day. ”
Wuxiang sighed: "I hope so!" ”
In fact, as a person who has come over, he also knows that unless Su Qiqi is completely disappointed in Zhang Ru, Su Qiqi will never give up like this. Similarly, Wuxiang is also a little worried about Zhang Ru, that kid looks reckless, but in fact he is scheming, with Wuxiang's observation, he always feels that Zhang Ru will not just forget it.
As an elder, he would rather Su Qiqi be peaceful and mediocre all her life, rather than let her suffer from wind and frost. And Zhang Ru is not a person who is willing to be mediocre.
After sending Luo Qing away, Wuxiang stood at the city gate for a long time before leaving. In the end, he can only give himself an excuse, his children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and don't be a horse and cow for his children and grandchildren.
At this time, after Zhang Ru arranged a group of his cronies, he talked with Tang Long, a thousand households of Datong Jinyi Wei, and after making all the arrangements, he packed his bags and prepared to go.
Leaving love behind him for the time being, he didn't know that Su Qiqi was going to follow him north to Liaodong for the time being. So much so that when he saw Su Qiqi in Liaodong, he actually made a righteous disciple in front of thousands of officers and soldiers.
Of course, that's all for later.
