550: This is the love that only exists in the book (2 more)
The New Year of Chengping's eleventh year is vague in Cheng Qing's memory.
She only remembered that she had finished handling Old Man He's funeral, and it was the New Year in a blink of an eye.
Old Man He died in a foreign country, and his body could not be directly transported back to Nanyi, because according to the regulations set by Cheng Qing, all the dead who died of the epidemic could not be buried.
Old man He is no exception, his body was cremated, and the ashes were collected in a small porcelain altar, and when Huainan was over, he would be transported back to Nanyi's hometown for burial.
The old man started as a silk shopman, set up his own door, earned the first pot of gold in his life and returned to his hometown to marry the lady of the silk shop, became the owner of the silk shop, and opened a dyeing workshop to run a weaving workshop.
Old Man He's life has come to an end, and Cheng Qing and He Wan's lives will continue.
It's February.
Cheng Qiang completely forgot about her eighteenth birthday, she had too many things to do every day, and she was almost infected with the epidemic, and it turned out to be a false alarm later...... Cheng Qing herself guessed that the virus of the infectious disease may not be able to dry up the virus in her body, so the chance of her being infected with the epidemic is not very high.
Old man Li warned her at the time, saying that she could not stop the spread of the epidemic, but did not say that she would be infected herself.
After Cheng Qing figured this out, she was even more open-handed, in order to avoid infecting people in Wuhe County in and out, she simply lived outside the city.
Cheng Qing is still a commoner without an official position, the displaced people outside Wuhe County don't care, the people in the county still respect Cheng Qing, and the officials of Wuhe County follow Cheng Qing to do things without hesitation.
In February, He Wan finally regained her spirits from the pain.
He Wan had a long talk with Cheng Qing, to the effect that Cheng Qing's promise to Old Man He before his death should not be counted, it was to let the old man go without regrets, and should not become Cheng Qing's "burden".
"No, it's not me helping you, it's you helping me."
Cheng Qing carefully analyzed his situation with He Wan.
Although he is now a commoner, it is a matter of time before he recovers, which means that Cheng Qing will return to the whirlpool of officialdom.
And Cheng Qing is eighteen years old this year, and she has been shirking the kindness of others to marry her daughter, if she survives the Huainan disaster relief, she will have greater achievements in her career in the eyes of others, and when Cheng Qing returns to the capital, there will only be more powerful and high-ranking officials who want to marry her daughter.
Except for He Wan, Cheng Qing doesn't believe anyone, it is impossible for her to tell others the secret of her gender, and if she refuses to kiss all the time, more and more people will be offended.
Therefore, Cheng Qing is He Wan's "fiancé", in addition to letting He Lao go with peace of mind, in addition to making outsiders dare not fight He Wan's idea, Cheng Qing himself also needs He Wan's "fiancée".
"Wan Niang, you are not my burden, on the contrary, you are my fiancée, and you have to face a lot of dangers, not that I brazenly boast of myself, I probably have a few noble female admirers in the capital, they can't marry me, they may want to see who I will marry, you and I have a public relationship, you are indispensable to be looked at and even difficult...... Moreover, I still have an enemy like the eldest princess Fuzhen in the capital, the eldest princess can't find a weakness in me, and will start from you, if you are afraid, when you return to Nanyi and bury your grandfather, I will take the initiative to withdraw from you. ”
Cheng Qing's heartfelt words were exchanged for He Wan's white eyes.
Knowing that Cheng Qing is daughter, He Wan's crumbling self-confidence was instantly restored after being hit by Cheng Qing's refusal to marry.
He Wan couldn't blame Cheng Qing for lying to her, after all, Cheng Qing deceived the whole world, and the Ninety-Five Venerable on the dragon chair was deceived!
Cheng Qing said that she had other noble female admirers, but He Wan didn't question it.
If when he was in Nanyi County, Cheng Qing was not amazing, only talent and conduct made He Wan excited, then the current Cheng Qing is both talented and beautiful, famous, and has a good future prospect, it is normal for nobles to fall in love with Cheng Qing!
He Wan scolded Cheng Qing for being a little bastard and deceived her feelings with other little ladies, while also thinking about what Cheng Qing said.
After thinking about it, I found that maintaining an "unmarried" relationship is the best choice for each other.
In addition to Cheng Qing, which "fiancé" can allow him to show up outside without any guilt?
If she hadn't seen the outside world, He Wan would be like other little ladies in the boudoir to be married, with the elders as the masters and a wife, taking care of the back house for her husband to have children and children, and even taking care of her husband's concubines and concubines, and striving to be a "good wife" in the eyes of the world.
Now, He Wan doesn't want to.
She found out that what a man can do, it turns out that a woman can do too!
Cheng Qing, a woman dressed as a man, did not mention the special case of suppressing all the lifters in the same class in the scientific examination, that is, He Wan herself, in the process of disaster relief in Huainan, also found that she was no worse than a man.
He Wan is not compared with the court officials, she is compared with the young master Rong Jiu, who has a similar family background...... She felt that she was more capable than Rong Jiu.
Hey, thinking about it this way, not only is it not just for Cheng Qing to be his fiancée, even if she is asked to marry Cheng Qing, it doesn't seem impossible.
He Wan didn't go around the corner with Cheng Qing, and asked Cheng Qing directly if the two got married after keeping their filial piety.
Cheng Qing herself never thought about restoring her status as a woman, it stands to reason that marrying He Wan is her best choice, but it is too unfair to He Wan.
He Wan is only nineteen years old!
Just because you don't want to get married now doesn't mean you don't want to get married for the rest of your life.
If He Wan meets someone she likes in the future, it will be much more troublesome to divorce than to divorce.
Cheng Qing felt that it was best to maintain the relationship between the "unmarried couple" from the perspective of being responsible for He Wan, as for whether the two of them should get married, we will talk about the future later!
Cheng Qing and He Wan reached a consensus, and He Wan recovered from her illness, so she followed Cheng Qing to help as her fiancée.
In the past, it was just a rumor, Cheng Qing handled the affairs of He Lao as his grandson-in-law, and even if the relationship between her and He Wan was officially announced, Wu Er and others directly regarded He Wan as a young grandmother, and the servants of the He family also regarded Cheng Qing as an uncle, and the two families had a tendency to merge into one family.
Only Xiaopan is very entangled.
Is Young Master Cheng Qing really going to marry Miss He?
Xiaopan prayed to the Bodhisattva before, hoping that Cheng Qing would find out about his young lady's goodness as soon as possible, should get married, and tie the knot with the young lady.
It turns out that making a wish to the Bodhisattva will really come true!
Xiao Pan didn't have the happiness of getting his wish, as the only servant girl around Cheng Qing who knew Cheng Qing's gender, Xiao Pan was so worried!
Young Master Cheng Qing is very good.
Miss Ho Wan is also very good.
The two met slightly, went through the danger of Huainan together, and then signed a marriage contract, and now they are saying that He Wan is brave and knowledgeable, and Cheng Qing attaches great importance to love and righteousness, which is simply a legendary love that only exists in the book!
In addition to the fact that these two are daughters, Xiaopan can't find fault with this marriage contract.
- Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, is there any misunderstanding among your old man, is it too late for the little maid to change her wish now?!
