Liu Qing'er fiddled with her hair in the mirror, heard Wei Rui's question, and did not answer.

The room fell into a very uncomfortable silence, and after a long time, Wei Rui asked, "Did your father force you?" ”

Liu Qing'er paused, and said after a while: "Sister, I'm already sixteen." ”

Wei Rui didn't react to the meaning of this sentence for a moment, so he asked, "So what?" What happened to sixteen? ”

Liu Qing'er turned her head and looked at Wei Rui with some surprise, and after a while, that look of loss appeared on her face again. She is very good-looking, she is a serious little jasper type, frowning and pursing her lips, which makes people feel a sense of pity when I see it. Only this time, the girl's eyes had some irreversible profundity.

After a long time, she said, "Daddy said that if I keep going like this, I will become an old girl." What if ......," she paused, and then added, "What if Brother Chang'an refuses to ask me?" ”

"Why doesn't he want you, aren't you already ......"

"But he didn't say he wanted to marry me." Liu Qing'er's voice was very low, and the loss and confusion in her tone made Wei Rui a little uneasy.

Wei Rui was stunned and subconsciously retorted: "Isn't it because your father has always opposed it, so he can't marry you?" Is it possible, you ......"

Liu Qing'er turned around and interrupted Wei Rui's words, "Sister, do you really think it's just my father's sake?" ”

She had tears in her eyes, her nose was a little red, and her tone was full of hindsight, and she said in a very slow voice: "He is the county order, he is the parent official of Minglang County, if he really wants to, how can he have no way at all?" ”

Wei Rui didn't quite understand what Liu Qing'er meant, she didn't know what to say for a while, she stumbled for a while, but in the end she didn't say a word.

Liu Qing'er also fell silent, she played with the peach comb in her hand, and the expression on her face made Wei Rui unable to see through.

It's just a turn of effort, but Wei Rui feels as if she has grown up many years old, and in just a moment, there seem to be a lot more things in her eyes that she doesn't understand.

After a long time, Wei Rui said, "I actually ...... I don't really understand what you mean. However, maybe Wei Xianling didn't come to marry you, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't wait for the right time. And, your daddy ......"

"But...... I can't afford to wait. She quickly retorted in a low voice, "The girl in the rouge shop next door, the child is half a year old. ”

After a while, she said again: "Sister, I will always grow up and be sensible one day, and at a certain moment, I suddenly understood that I and him are destined to be inseparable." ”

Wei Rui was stunned and hurriedly said: "You think too much, what did he tell you, why do you think so?" You ......"

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Liu Qing'er again, and she said firmly: "Sister, you are my only friend, if you come to play with me, I will naturally welcome it, but if I talk about it again, I will not be in the mood." ”

There was a determination and firmness in her eyes that Wei Rui had never seen before, as if she had decided something, with an irrefutable aura and determination.

Wei Changan must have said something to her, Wei Rui thought.

However, at this moment, although Liu Qing'er had made her own choice, Wei Rui still felt that she was unhappy, but at this time, she couldn't ask any more, and she couldn't ask more.

Regarding the doubts about this matter, I am afraid that only Wei Changan himself can solve the doubts.

"Sister, my father pulled a big piece of red cloth for me, saying that he would make me a few more new clothes, so as not to go and have no clothes to wear, how about you help me think about the style?"

Liu Qing'er's words pulled Wei Rui back from her contemplation, and she hurriedly responded, "Oh, good. ”

Seeing Liu Qing'er seriously discuss the style of clothes with her, and showing the warm, simple and shy side of her youngest daughter's family, Wei Rui had mixed feelings in her heart.

She could clearly feel that Liu Qing'er was not satisfied with this marriage, and she could also feel that what she said was not her thoughts from the bottom of her heart. But what could have been the thing that would have made her make such a decision?

After roughly deciding on the style of the new clothes, Wei Rui saw that it was not early, and she was anxious to see Wei Changan to ask about this matter, so she excused herself and left.

came out of Liu Qing'er's room, but Wei Rui happened to see Liu Yan standing in the front yard.

For Liu Qing'er's marriage, the tofu shop has been closed for the past few days, so he is fine, standing there in a daze.

"Is this really the outcome you want?" Wei Rui thought for a moment before asking, and felt that she might be said to be nosy, so she added, "I know that I am an outsider, and I am not qualified to make any comments on your family affairs, but I am the same as Qing'er, we are each other's only friends, and we are also the first friends. ”

"I cherish this friend very much, I don't want to see her unhappy, and I don't want her to spend the rest of her life making bets."

Liu Yan turned to look at her, with some inquiry in his eyes, but more of a kind of helplessness of vicissitudes.

His eyes made Wei Rui speechless for a moment, and he didn't know how to continue.

The weather turned cooler, and the only tree in the yard also began to lose its leaves, and the leaves swayed and fell, mixed with Liu Yan's slightly trembling voice: "Girl, Qing'er is my daughter, not only do you want her to live well, but why don't I, a father, think so?" ”

Not only did his voice tremble, but even his eyes had a helpless redness.

When Wei Rui heard this, the doubts in her heart became even deeper, and after thinking about Liu Qing'er's attitude just now, she also knew that there was no answer to ask Liu Yan directly.

So, she asked: "Since you say so, you should know that the person she likes is Wei Chang'an, and only by marrying Wei Chang'an will she be really happy, really happy, right?" ”

Hearing this, Liu's grim eyes became complicated, and Wei Rui even felt a slight sense of worrying about that kind of expression.

It's like he knows that he is pushing his daughter into the abyss, but he has to do it.

Seeing this, Wei Rui was full of questions, but suddenly heard him say: "Girl, some things are not so simple, people are not happy when they live." ”

After speaking, he turned around and planned to leave, walked a few steps and said: "Thank you for caring about the little girl, I can feel that you really care about her affairs, and you are really good for her." ”

"It's just that happiness can only be enjoyed if you are alive."

Wei Rui stood in place, not quite understanding the meaning of this sentence, but seemed to be able to feel the helplessness of this father to some extent.
