Chapter Thirty-Eight: I Want Hugh
As soon as Lin Qian said this, Xin Yi didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, she said to Lin Qian: "You want to pay to redeem me?" β
Her fingers tapped casually on the table: "Five years ago, when your family's divorce letter was delivered to the door, I was the first time I was so famous in the capital. After all, if you can make your fiancΓ© go on a hunger strike for five days and don't want to marry a woman who doesn't go home before going on an expedition, how bad should it be, are you curious? β
It turned out that waiting for him here, Lin Qian only felt that the sweat was about to come down: "No, the lady has the virtue of helping the world, and her character is good, but Lin Qian is not worthy of the lady." β
"Don't talk like that, you don't have to be humble, you don't have to apologize, you don't have to give me money." Xin Yi said: "You are a lover, but I am not a bun." Five years ago, you were still fighting and I didn't know that I used some sweat medicine, stuffed my aunt with medicine, stuffed it into a carriage, got to the door of your Lin family, threw her on the ground like a sack in front of your mother and sister-in-law, and then tore up the divorce letter. β
Lin Qian suddenly felt a sense of horror, the woman in front of him was dressed in a lotus-colored shirt, simple and tight, and her voice was soft and peaceful, but she had such a decisive and ruthless side.
"I made it clear to them at that time that Lin Ergongzi had no intention of getting married, and he didn't have to give in. The housewife of the ancient family, Li Daitao is stiff in front, and rumors and troublemakers are in the back, but my father and mother have already separated from each other, and I will not bear this crime; And although your Lin family was put on the table, but the marriage was a major event, and even the name was stolen and changed, couldn't it be found that the mother-in-law who was fed by the Lord was derelict in her duties? I won't admit this divorce letter. β
"But this pro is the son of the Lin family who doesn't want to get married, so I will go directly - Hugh." Xin Yi looked directly into Lin Qian's eyes, his gaze burning.
"You ......" When he heard the word "Hugh" at first glance, Lin Qian was shocked and angry, and he was speechless for a while.
Xin Yi said to himself: "However, the law of the Chinese kingdom says that if the husband wants to write a letter of divorce, he must return the dowry and give the other party a sum of money sufficient for two years of living. I asked again, our two families did not give a bride price or dowry, and the cost of living, according to the minimum standard of the capital, is two taels of silver a month. β
"I don't have so many private banks, it just so happens that my grandfather is old and doesn't have the heart to take care of the pharmacy, and he wants to go out with my grandmother, and he only has a daughter from my mother and a granddaughter from me, so it is convenient for me to be alone, so he handed over the pharmacy to me."
"I ran from the capital to Shuangqi Town, and the shop was about to close down. It took me half a year to reopen it for profit, but the northern town is not as prosperous as the capital after all, a total of forty-eight taels of silver, I saved five years to get together, alas, the price of the capital is really high, our place, a family of five can not spend a tael of silver a month. β
"I thought about going back to the capital to take care of things, but I didn't expect you to come to war, and I want to come to the clinic again, just right."
As he spoke, Xin Yi took out a wallet from his arms and pushed it to Lin Qian, with a heartfelt smile on his face: "From now on, it can be regarded as a real marriage between men and women, and they have nothing to do with it." By the way, do you have a dagger? Borrow it. β
"What are you going to do?" Lin Qian didn't know what to say or do, he didn't pick up the letter of resignation and the "breakup fee", he only took out a personal dagger and handed it to Xin Yi.
Xin Yi took the dagger and put it in his right hand, and a strand of long hair was separated from his left hand, and there was a soft "click", and a bunch of green silk was already lying in the palm of his hand: "Since the hair is married to a husband and wife, then Hugh Fu is naturally broken hair." She sighed lightly: "Although I knew that I shouldn't blame you for anything, when I saw you, I wanted to escape rejection inexplicably, and I thought I wouldn't be able to do it in the future." β
Lin Qian bowed his head and was silent, but Xin Yi sighed a little:
"Actually, I have always looked down on my eldest sister, my grandfather asked her to study, and she asked me to pretend to be in the study for her in order to sneak out and play, if it wasn't for the medical books in my grandfather's study, I wouldn't help her."
"On the contrary, it's you, the son of a military general's family, who writes a letter that is quite literary and caring, but my eldest sister is too lazy to read it, and she almost sued her grandfather, and I also advised her not to let you be beaten like this, so she will throw it back to me, then I will go back." But you're so interested in her, I want to laugh at your eyes. β
"But there is one thing that I am very impressed, at that time you said in the letter that you were reprimanded by the head of the archery assessment, which seems to be the first time you show that you are sad? I am not very persuasive, but I think that if you are very concerned about the merits of archery, you should put more effort into practice to make perfect; If you find that you are not talented after all, you will use your strengths and avoid weaknesses in other subjects, and it will probably be the same on the battlefield in the future. β
Lin Qian raised his head abruptly and looked at Xin Yi with a complicated expression.
"So I'm curious about how your archery skills are now, but it's going to be cut in two, and I'm still thinking about what I don't do, I'm really bored." Xin Yi shook his head: "I didn't want to delay for so long, but it's not a waste to solve a big thing, it's just too late to have lunch." β
She thought that Shen Bingran was still waiting for her to take over, so she stood up and said to Lin Qian, "General Lin, I take my leave." β
"Wait!" Lin Qian stood up as if he had suddenly reacted: "You take the silver back, why do I want your savings for the past five years?" β
"Because I'm going to Hugh."
"Sun Zhongjing's side, I will negotiate with him." He gritted his teeth and lowered his posture: "Can you not rest the husband?" β
"I ...... I don't want to break the marriage anymore. β
When he was thirteen years old, he went to the ancient mansion with his parents as a guest, and accidentally saw the back of the little girl in the study of the old master of the ancient family.
The Lin family has a strict upbringing, and he has no sisters, so he felt rude and hurriedly avoided it, and was accused by his father. The head of the ancient family didn't care, and told him that it was his granddaughter, the eldest lady of the Gu family.
Although the girl was fascinated by reading and didn't raise her head, maybe he was too nervous, or maybe she was very good-looking, and he was inexplicably concerned about her.
When he wrote her first letter, he knew how much he had gone too far, and he was even ready to be beaten by his father.
Then he received a reply, polite and witty, outlining her appearance between the lines, and making him like it tightly.
When he was seventeen years old, because of a fever and abnormal performance in the archery assessment, he was reprimanded by the head of the sect so depressed that he wrote a letter to her.
By the time he realized that the letter had been delivered, he regretted it. However, when he received her reply, those gentle and transparent words made him completely leave his heart on her.
He secretly swore that he would not marry her in this life, so when the person who was married to him changed from "eldest lady" to "second lady", he was anxious and angry, tried his best to resist, and even went on a hunger strike to make his mother worry and sad for him.
Even if he went to the Gu family to dissolve the marriage contract, he only thought that he had broken his mother's heart with his youth, and thought that one day he would have to propose again. However, five years ago was an eventful time, the eldest brother was seriously injured, and he and his father were almost beheaded in prison as soldiers of the Gu family.
It wasn't until two years later, when the turmoil gradually stopped, that he was finally able to free up his hands and mend the relationship between the two families intentionally or unintentionally, just to be able to marry the "ancient family daughter" he liked.
But he never cared about how much the second lady of the Gu family, who broke off the marriage contract with him, would be hurt by this.
He is not a sensitive and delicate person, so he ignores too many things, such as the smell of Chinese medicine on the letterhead, such as a Xinyi flower painted at the end of each letter, which he only thought was a decoration that his daughter's family was inconvenient to sign.
So it wasn't until today that he realized that he had done the wrong thing five years ago and loved the wrong person. And his real sweetheart, he had already gotten it, and he pushed it out with his own hands.
She told him the truth, she told him everything. And she herself, repairing books and breaking hair, even Hugh's money has been prepared.
He didn't even have a chance to make up for his mistakes.
"You don't want to break the engagement? Oh yes, you should want to divorce your wife, but I'm sorry, let's strike first. "Xin Yi is very resolute in this matter. She admitted that her correspondence with him back then did make her appreciate him a lot and have a good impression, maybe she didn't refuse this inexplicable marriage also has this factor, but he resisted marriage so resolutely, even if she made a fuss at the door, she never expressed her position, why should she care about nostalgia?
"No, I've never thought of divorcing my wife!" Lin Qian was telling the truth, even if he went on a hunger strike, he just wanted the two families to break the marriage contract peacefully, "Xin Yi, I was wrong, I regret it, I am willing to marry you, I am willing!" In a hurry, Lin Qian grabbed Xin Yi's sleeve,
He was in a panic at this time, and he also knew that saying this might not be useful. But if he doesn't say it, he really has no room for redemption.
"Will you marry me?" Xin Yi decisively shook him off: "General's words, as if I was in a hurry to stick to your door?" By the way, when I went to the Lin family to defend myself five years ago, even if you came back and fought with me, I probably wouldn't have made up my mind to leave. β
Lin Qian felt a pain in his heart, at that time, the Gu family army suffered a heavy blow, and his Lin family was almost unable to protect himself, but could these be the excuses for him to hurt Xin Yi and cause her to go away to commit herself to others?
"To this day, I don't want to choose you as my husband at all." Thinking of the many difficulties he had had in the past five years in order to make the pharmacy gain a firm foothold in Shuangqi Town, Xin Yi actually felt a little sad for the first time.
At this point, even though Lin Qian had a thousand words to confide in the person in front of him, he had to retract his hand.
"Now that the war situation is dangerous, the general should think less about his children and pay more attention to the war."
This was the last sentence that Xin Yi dropped before leaving.
