Chapter 263: Perseverance
Zhang Xi looked at Zhang Lan and was silent for a long time.
Silence gradually froze in the flower hall.
Zhang Lan's face did not change, and his demeanor was firm.
Seeing this, Zhang Xi knew that he had made up his mind, sighed, and said, "You can think about it." Because of your study, the family has a lot of opinions about Miss Liu. In this case, if she marries in, she will have to be wronged in the future.
"Can you guarantee that as time goes by, Miss Liu will not be overwhelmed, depressed, or even decidedly leave? If you do get to that point, what are you going to do? ”
Just like her, although she and Li Zizhen are in love with each other, they also have to cheer up to deal with everyone in the house. Liu Yinger married Zhang Lan under such circumstances, and the difficulties of her married life can be imagined.
"I believe that after a long time, everyone will understand her as a person, and they will no longer complain about her!" Zhang Lan said very confidently.
Zhang Xi shook his head when he heard this, and sighed: "When I heard what you said, I knew that you hadn't seriously considered this issue. You must know that it is not a thing to be happy and married. Not to mention, just talk about father and mother, life of harmony and love, but before the mother takes charge of the family, it is not the same to set rules in front of the grandmother, set an example in front of the concubine, and do your best to deal with everyone in the house?
"If you make up your mind, I advise you to make it clear and discuss with Miss Liu, so as not to resentment each other in the future, and even this little bit of affection now will be completely wiped out."
Zhang Xi didn't say anything, Zhang Lan really hadn't thought about these issues, and when he heard this, he couldn't help frowning and pursing his lips.
Seeing this, Zhang Xi knew that he had listened, so he said: "Instead of wasting time with me, you might as well go back and think it through first, discuss with Miss Liu and make up your mind, and then consider persuading us to accept Miss Liu into the mansion." ”
Zhang Lan got up, gave a deep salute, and said goodbye: "Thank you, sister." ”
After a pause, he added: "I'll bother you another day." ”
As soon as Zhang Xi heard this, he understood that he still insisted on marrying Liu Ying'er, although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't show it, just nodded and sent Zhang Lan out in person.
After sending Zhang Lan away, the maid next to Mrs. Li came over and said that Mrs. Li had a rumor.
Zhang Xi immediately went to the upper room without touching his feet.
As soon as Mrs. Li saw Zhang Xi, she asked, "Why don't you leave Brother Lan for lunch?" ”
Zhang Xi smiled perfunctorily and said: "He hasn't been back to Beijing for a long time, and many relatives and friends have not visited him, so he won't stay for dinner." ”
Mrs. Li smiled and nodded, "Yes." Every time your father and his family go back to Beijing, they rarely eat at home. ”
Then he asked, "By the way, when will your father leave for the northwest?" ”
Zhang Xi shirked: "My daughter-in-law hasn't come home for many days, because I don't know my father's plans. ”
If Zhang Lan insists on marrying Liu Ying'er, he is afraid that his father will not be able to leave for a while. However, there is no need to explain this matter to Mrs. Li.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a while, and Mrs. Li let Zhang Xi leave.
……
Let's say that Zhang Lan left the Li Mansion and went straight to the post house.
Liu Ying'er saw Zhang Lan go and return, knowing that she must have discussed it with her family, and there was already a result, she couldn't help but be very nervous, and after serving tea to Zhang Lan, she sat aside and pinched the corners of her clothes at a loss, waiting for the final verdict.
Zhang Lan thought about Zhang Xi's words, and did not deliberately conceal or rebuff, and asked bluntly: "My family does not approve of our family affairs......
When Liu Ying'er heard this, she lowered her head, and tears fell instantly.
Immediately afterwards, I heard Zhang Lan continue: "However, this does not change my mind. ”
Liu Ying'er raised her head suddenly, tears streaming down her cheeks. She didn't care about wiping it, she just stared straight at Zhang Lan, with surprise, joy, and incomprehensibility in her eyes...... It's complicated.
Seeing this, Zhang Lan first handed her a handkerchief, and then said slowly: "So I'm afraid that the road to marrying me is quite difficult, and after you get married in the future, you may still be wronged...... Even so, would you still like to walk with me? ”
Liu Ying'er was so excited that she couldn't speak, and she could only nod vigorously to show that she was also firm.
Zhang Lan's sorrowful eyebrows stretched suddenly, and for the first time, he took the initiative to hold Liu Ying'er's hand, grinned, and said, "Don't worry, as long as you have a firm mind, I will always be by your side!" After getting married, if you really can't get used to living in the capital, let's go to the border, live our own little life, and stay away from these disturbances! ”
Liu Ying'er nodded again and again, and when she heard the last sentence, she hurriedly choked up and said, "No, your mansion almost suffered because of me, and they should be angry with me and unwilling to accept me." The more this is the case, the more I can't avoid being clean alone, otherwise how embarrassed and sad will you be caught in the middle? ”
Zhang Lan listened to Liu Ying'er's words, and was very moved in his heart, clasped her hand, and solemnly promised: "Don't worry, I will never fail you in this life!" ”
Parting with his family, of course, is painful, Liu Yinger can understand his difficulties, and is willing to stand in his position for his sake, where to find such a gentle and considerate girl?
He was lucky enough to meet him, and he will never miss it again!
……
For the next period of time, Zhang Lan grinded hard bubbles.
The British Duke and others also became numb and indifferent from their initial indignant and firm refusal.
Zhang Lan has been tireless and refuses to give up.
When the news reached the palace, Qi Yu praised with a smile: "I didn't expect Zhang Lan to be a rare infatuated lover, and he refused to give up after being like this." ”
Huang Yi'an smiled and did not answer.
Zhang Lan can have her own happiness, and she is very happy for him.
Amei pursed her lips and complained to Huang Yi'an in private: "Why didn't you see him at the beginning......"
Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Huang Yi'an's look.
The original thing, although it was not from her heart, was also her negative Zhang Lan first, so she has always felt guilty; Now that Zhang Lan can get out of that period of youth and ignorance, and with someone she firmly wants to spend her life with, she will only be happy for him, how can she be resentful?
If it weren't for the mood of the people in the British government, Huang Yi'an would have wanted to get Qi Yu to give Zhang Lan a marriage order.
……
Qi Yu didn't give marriage, but the British duchess was pestered by Zhang Lan first, so she had to throw down a sentence when Zhang Lan didn't know how many times she pleaded, "Your third brother hasn't decided yet, why are you in a hurry?" "I want to block Zhang Lan's mouth.
Who knew that Zhang Lan climbed down the pole and hurriedly asked: "Is it true that the third brother is married, and my mother will not stop me?" ”
The British duchess thought of Zhang Chi's uncertain and unpleasant appearance, thinking that she was afraid that the family affairs of a year and a half would definitely not be settled, and now she used this as an excuse to perfunctory Zhang Lan, maybe Zhang Lan himself would give up first.
Sometimes, young people, the more you oppose them, the more determined they become. It's better to take a step back for the time being, and then slowly figure it out.
