"I'm ......" Xu Shi stood up suddenly, her delicate face was full of apprehension, she couldn't have imagined that he would say this directly today.

"You sit down first and listen to me." Jiang Zhen's voice carried a bit of the usual majesty.

"......" Xu was already a little afraid of Jiang Zhen, the last time he refused him, in fact, he had been beating the drum in his heart, and he was a little scared, and when he heard him say this, he could only sit back honestly.

"I want to marry you, but I don't want to force you, if you still don't want to, like last time, just refuse me, I just want to talk to you." Jiang Zhen wiped his face and said this first.

"You—...... you say"

"You can't forget Bao Ying's father, I can understand your feelings, because I have experienced the same thing, I have never married a wife, but I have a fiancée, she has passed away for so many years, and I have not forgotten her."

These words have a bit of sympathy, which can make Xu's somewhat flustered heart slowly settle down.

"Then why do you still say marry me?" Her hands were still a little nervously clasped together, and she cautiously asked the question that puzzled her.

"I don't think it's contradictory to remember someone who has passed away and to finally meet someone you like and want to marry." Jiang Zhen looked at her seriously and said.

Although Xu couldn't feel his gaze, those words still made her cheeks burn even redder.

"I won't ask you to forget Bao Ying's father, after all, to be able to teach Bao Ying such a sensible good child, he must be an excellent person, should not be forgotten, I only hope that you can leave a small place for me in your heart, I want Bao Ying to be my daughter, and I also want you to be my wife, become a family with you, and live together." Jiang Zhen's eyes were fixed on her, and seeing her cheeks flushed and shy, he couldn't help but put his tone more gentle and gentle.

"I ......" Xu Shi had just a little relaxed heart, and was raised high again by his thoughtful words.

"You think about it slowly, I'm not in a hurry to get an answer." Jiang Zhen saw her nervousness and hurriedly reassured.

The room fell silent again.

After a long time, Xu Shi apologized and said, "Brother Lizheng, you are a good person, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do what you said...... I'm sorry. ”

"It's okay, I respect your choice." Jiang Zhen only sighed.

The other side.

In Gu Xian's room, Jiang Chao was questioned by Bao Ying, and he regretted what he said before.

But at this time, facing her pair of eager eyes, he had to bite the bullet: "Our ** family, in fact, is divided into two branches, the abandoned house you live in now is the second master's branch, once very prominent, the second master returned to the village when he was a teenager, it is said that he was injured, half of his life was almost gone, it was my grandfather who saved him and succeeded him to his own name, and later passed on the identity of this family to him, so that he was the right person, but my third master did not obey him, and in the early years he made a big fuss because of this matter, Later, they simply separated and moved out. ”

"What about your second master?" Bao Ying asked curiously.

"This, I don't know, the second master never mentions it." Jiang Chao shook his head, he really didn't know.

"Okay...... Why did Uncle Zheng never get married? There should be many people who propose marriage to him, right? Bao Ying asked again.

"There are a lot of them, but the second master didn't agree."

"That ......"

"Hey, Baoying, don't embarrass me, if my second master knows that I told you so much today, he must pick up all my skin!" Jiang Chao cried and looked at her with a pair of resentful eyes.

"Stupid, if you don't say it, I won't say it, how can Uncle Lizheng know that you told me this? Okay, okay, I won't ask. Gu Baoying pursed her lips, and her heart was more confused.

Why do you suddenly feel that Uncle Lizheng's identity is not simple?

And the reason why he has never married a wife, the most important one is not asked, what is the secret in it?

It didn't take long for Jiang Zhen's voice to sound outside.

It was Jiang Chao who shouted to go home.

After sending the two away, Gu Baoying went to the house to find Xu.

"Bao Ying, just now your uncle Li Zheng told me about his situation, he said that he wanted to marry me and wanted a daughter like you, Bao Ying, do you really want him to be your stepfather?" Unexpectedly, without waiting for her to take the initiative to ask, Xu Shi said to her first.

"Mother, the most important thing is your wishes, but, Uncle Lizheng, what's the situation?" Gu Baoying blinked, curious if Jiang Zhen had confessed to the Xu family.

"He said he had a fiancée who had been dead for many years...... "Xu felt slightly relieved when he heard his daughter say this.

Then, her cheeks burned red and she repeated what Jiang Zhen had just said, only hiding the words that said that she was the person he liked, and then said a little worriedly, "I understand that he told me such a thing in order to make my heart not so heavy, but I am afraid that I will not be able to do what he said, and this is not fair to him...... So, I didn't say yes. ”

She always remembered the last time, Bao Ying was angry because of this.

Thinking that if her daughter really wanted to be her stepfather, but she refused again, it would make her daughter unhappy, so she was a little careful in and out of her words.

"Mother, I just want you to have someone by your side who can love you and take care of you, Uncle Lizheng is an upright person, very good to everyone in our family, honest with you, affectionate and righteous, is a rare good person, but if you just feel that others are not good and don't want to marry, then we won't marry." Gu Baoying took Xu's hand and said sincerely.

The last time she was annoyed with Xu, she also regretted it later.

Although she is just a traverser, Xu is really her dearest mother now, and she is dedicated to her good, even if she has some hatred for Xu's weakness and ignorance, she shouldn't say that, after all, Xu is just a weak woman under feudal etiquette, and she will teach her slowly in the future.

"Mother, last time I spoke to you like that, it was my fault, if there is any major matter in the family in the future, let's discuss it."

"Bao Ying...... Mother is not right, I always let you take care of me in turn......"

"My mother raised me, isn't this all what I should do? It is only natural for a daughter to honor her mother. Gu Baoying hugged Xu.

"You're still a child...... Xu Shi was sad when he heard it.

Her daughter has not yet reached Jilu and has not yet grown up, but she has experienced the ruin of her family, the loss of her dearest father and grandfather, and the need to take care of her like a little adult.

But this time, she didn't think about it like in the past, blindly holding her daughter and crying about her life, but thought about it seriously.

What is the probability that she, based on her past experience and memories, would pick up the needle and thread again and make an embroidery that could be sold for a price?

After all, the only thing she is best at is embroidery.

However, she doesn't plan to tell her daughter this idea now, wait until tomorrow to find Aunt Liu to come over and discuss, and then talk about it when she thinks it is feasible, after all, she is blind, and it is very difficult just to grope for the needle and thread.

At this time, she thought carefully about her daughter's words, and couldn't help whispering, as if justifying, and said: "Actually, I don't think that your uncle is not good, it's just that I still can't get over that ......hurdle in my heart."

Hearing this, Gu Baoying's eyebrows couldn't help but raise high.

How do you listen to the meaning of this, she doesn't seem to be completely unwilling to this marriage?
