Chapter 182: Almond Syrup (Part II)
It's only been a few days?
The day before yesterday, Mr. Wei came to "Shixian" for the first time, and this morning he came for the second time, for a total of three days.
Xu Yi sent someone to turn Mr. Wei upside down, not only to check the past and present life in Beijing, but also to find out his hometown in Huizhou...
Han Chuan turned his head, saw that Xu Yi's eyes were shining, pursed his lips but said nothing.
Seeing that Han Chuan finally stopped, Xu Yi let out a sigh of relief, and then opened his mouth to explain softly, "... I don't mean to look down on you at all, and I never think that those eunuch ladies and family girls are better than you. β
A gust of wind blew, blowing the persimmons on the wooden shelves swaying around, blowing so that the persimmon trees that were not dragged by the fruitful fruits swayed easily, blowing with a swagger...
The blow made Hanchuan's face cold, but the palms of his hands were wet.
Xu Yan's voice was very soft and soft.
Softer than ever before.
Su Ri's cold face also revealed a warm expression.
Xu Yi smiled, "You are very smart and righteous, you have good cooking skills, you also have the courage to work hard for your friends and relatives, you have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and you also have the desire to dispel evil and turn to good." It's just that these strengths have surpassed thousands of girls of noble birth. You are not unworthy of anyone, in the world, if you want, you are worthy of anyone. β
But I'm still not worthy of you.
Han Chuan looked at Xu Yi quietly, this sentence lingered in his heart for a long time, and finally was blown away in the air by this wind.
Xu Yi said again, "Because I think you are good, I don't want you to fall into a trap like Wei Shusheng." He doesn't like women, and no matter how good you are, he won't like you. In the decades to come, he may be able to respect you, he may not bully you, but he will not love you from the bottom of his heartγ..."
Xu Yi's voice was ethereal, as if it came from a distant mountain.
The more Xu Yi spoke, the lower his voice became.
He was persuading Han Chuan like this.
After he received the news from Xiao Su, he hurried to the restaurant, for fear that this stupid girl would crash into this marriage without love and responsibility.
And he... But he silently obeyed the old ways, and accepted his fate as he should, without any question?
If he is unwilling to become a tool of Wei Shusheng, then why is he willing to become a tool himself?
Xu Yan's voice lowered in a deep voice.
Han Chuan pursed his lips and laughed with tears in his eyes.
Xu Yi thinks she is good?
In Xu Yi's eyes, she is smart? Righteousness? Kindness?
Han Chuan wiped the back of her hand with her hand, and after Xu Yi approached, her whole little person leaned on Xu Yi's shadow as if she was snuggling.
Han Chuan smiled and said softly, "Mr. Wei is a good person. β
Han Chuan looked up at the stars in the sky and the crescent moon covered by dark clouds, and remembered Mr. Wei's words in the morning-
"I don't like girls, I have people I like, but the clan family and the market career don't allow us to blatantly stay together. If the rule is that I must marry a wife so that I can be considered a normal person, then I can only do this for the sake of the Wei family and the future. But I don't want to deceive people, the girls are all made of water, and they should be carefully preserved and patiently cared for by their lovers in the palm of their hands. I don't dare say that to those girls, but I'm sure you'll understand me. As a woman, you can still not follow the crowd in this world, and try to earn a way by yourself, I think you can understand me and are willing to accept me. β
Mr. Wei made his words very clear.
Put the pros and cons, long and short in front of Han Chuan, and leave the decision to Han Chuan.
I never thought about deceiving people, nor did I think about solving my predicament first...
It's a rare thing like this.
Han Chuan gave himself three days to think about whether to agree or not.
Actually, I wanted to say yes.
Han Chuan didn't have anyone he wanted to marry, and Han Chuan felt that there might not be any more in the future. In her dream, Xu Yi never failed her, and now in this life, she owes Xu a lot more. She can no longer devote herself to being someone else's wife and lover.
She felt sick even at the thought of being intimate with other people, anyone else.
A heartfelt nausea.
An involuntary regurgitation and retching.
If she really marries Mr. Wei, she... Many ideas can be realized.
Han Chuan said softly, "Mr. Wei told me everything, I know his preferences, his needs, and the reasons why he asked to marry me." β
Xu Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at Han Chuan quietly.
Han Chuan looked at him and smiled.
She felt as if there was a high staircase under her feet, allowing her to look at Xu Yi at eye level.
"I think that if marriage is regarded as a cooperation, a business, and a transaction, the conditions that Mr. Wei has offered me are not bad." Han Chuan said softly, "Even, it makes people feel a little excited-instead of marrying someone who doesn't love each other, taking care of housework, having children, filial piety to his relatives, and being mediocre and busy all his life, then why don't I choose Mr. Wei?" At the very least, I can save myself from the heartache of being hurt by my lover, at least... I can make all judgments soberly and calmly. β
The light in Xu Yi's eyes was inexplicably weak.
Han Chuan laughed, and then blessed himself seriously, "Thank you for reminding me, I am very grateful." β
Han Chuan didn't stop, turned around and left.
Xu Yi's heart panicked, and his raised voice was abrupt and special in the quiet night, "Han Chuan! β
Han Chuan lowered his head, not wanting to be tripped by Xu Yi again, and his steps did not stop.
"Hanchuan! If there is love between two people, it should not be united! β
Xu Yi's voice couldn't hide his panic, "If, if you don't need to be heartbroken, don't need you to judge calmly, don't need you to be mediocre and busy, then would you like to give it a try!?" β
Give it a try?
Han Chuan stopped his steps and turned halfway to the side.
The wind of early autumn, the night of early autumn, is seven points cooler than summer, Han Chuan in order to facilitate the drying of persimmons, wear a set of short dozens, a thin layer, the cuffs are tightly strangled by strips of cloth, plain linen shirt, plain face to the sky, nothing to say, but there seem to be many, many words in the eyes, those hidden in the heart, swallowed back into the stomach, stalked in the throat, all poured into the eyes.
Xu Yan took a deep breath.
I asked myself in my heart, do you know what you are doing now? Do you know what you need to plan for the future? DID YOU KNOW... How much stress will this put on the little girl?
Xu exhaled that breath and lowered his head slightly.
I know, I know.
Xu replied in his heart.
Xu Yi took a step forward, pressed his hands on Han Chuan's shoulders, and took advantage of the situation to straighten the figure of the little girl, and the two of them looked at each other.
Xu Yi said softly, "Han Chuan, I know that you are never a concubine, and I also know that you have your own mind and ambition, I may not understand you very well, but I understand myself." β
The crescent moon burst out from behind the clouds.
The courtyard is deep and the moonlight is like water.
Xu's voice is also like the moonlight of this night.
"Hanchuan, I like you."
