Chapter 54: Xiangxiang's Love
Lotus has never come to Nanmo since the last confession incident, and when she meets Yuluo in the village on weekdays, she treats her coldly, and Yuluo doesn't feel anything, after all, she hasn't stopped people from seeking their own happiness the most.
It's fragrant, and I've always come to find the rain in the past two days. Since the last time she told her mother her intentions, her mother was very opposed, and said that she was not allowed to go to the town to find her cousin without permission in the future.
But as the Spring Festival approached, Xiangxiang's cousin's family was about to come back, Xiangxiang was a little anxious, if she couldn't talk to her cousin this time, her mother would let her grandmother marry her. Xiangxiang is a hundred and a thousand unwilling, this is looking for Yuluo to discuss how to do it.
Yuluo also made it difficult to hear it, after all, this is ancient times, and men and women need to go through the orders of their parents and the words of matchmakers. Although Xiangxiang and Li Heng are close, it does not mean that the elders in the family will agree to this matter, Yuluo said that after Xiangxiang waited for Li Heng and their family to come, the two confirmed the relationship, and then told the family that after all, Xiangxiang likes Li Heng, but Li Heng's feelings for Xiangxiang do not know how.
A few days later, Li Heng's family also returned to the village. But that day, Li Heng came to Yuluo's house with a lot of gifts, and the four of them were having dinner at that time.
"Li Heng, come into the house, come into the house, don't you finish eating, my mother-in-law will add you a pair of chopsticks." When the mother-in-law saw Li Heng, she hurriedly let him into the house, and went to the kitchen to get a pair of dishes and chopsticks.
"Why did you come by yourself and bring so many gifts! What about Xiangxiang? In the past, you two didn't leave anyone! Grandpa Zhang asked.
"Oh, Xiangxiang is at home, she doesn't want to come out on this cold day." Li Heng explained.
"That's it, eat quickly, this Yuluo happened to cook it myself today, what is it called?" Grandpa Zhang forgot for a moment what the dishes made by Yuluo were called.
"Tomato brisket!" Yuluo said.
"Oh, yes, yes, tomato brisket, it's fragrant, you can taste it." Grandpa said.
"Okay, then you're welcome!" Li Heng picked up the chopsticks, added a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, and then exaggeratedly said, "It's delicious!" The mother-in-law was amused by his appearance.
Because of Li Heng's arrival, it added a lot of fun to the dinner table, and the meal was joyful. Li Heng said that he had something to tell Yuluo and pulled Yuluo into the yard, Nanmo passed by Yuluo and glanced at him, Yuluo always felt that Nanmo was angry.
"What are you going to say to me?" Yuluo said.
"The girl who falls in the rain has a marriage match." Li Heng rubbed his hands and said.
"Nope."
"That rain girl, do you think I'm suitable?" Li Heng watched the rain fall with burning eyes.
Yuluo took a deep breath, because she was facing the gate of the courtyard, and saw Xiangxiang standing in the dark at the door, only to see her hand twisting the handkerchief, watching Yuluo.
Yuluo retracted his gaze and looked at Li Heng, "Do you want to marry me, or your mother will let you marry me!" Yuluo stared at Li Heng's eyes and stared at Li Heng a little nervously.
"There's... Is there any difference? Li Heng swallowed his saliva and asked.
"Of course there is a difference. If you want to marry me, then I tell you plainly, we have only met twice, you don't know me, I don't know you, if you just suddenly tell me this, I will definitely not accept it. If your mother asks you to marry me, then thank me for my aunt for looking up at me, although the marriage of children should be decided by the parents, but everything I do in An Yuluo is up to me, even if someone puts a knife on my neck, I will not give in. Therefore, the marriage must be voluntary for me, no one can force me, even if your mother comes to the door with a dowry to kiss me, I will refuse. Yuluo said solemnly.
Li Heng was suddenly frightened by Yuluo, perhaps he didn't expect Yuluo, a woman who looked gentle and quiet on the outside, to be so strong.
"No, no, no, don't get me wrong, Miss Yuluo, I didn't mean to force you, I just said that I like you, don't get excited, hehe." Li Heng hurriedly snorted.
"I'm just taking a stand, and I'm not angry. It's true that I have no feelings for you, and I have always decisively refused to do things I don't want to do, so it's good for everyone, and I don't stand firm in my position, causing misunderstanding to the other party, and making everyone difficult to get along with in the future. Yuluo said in a softened tone.
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry for the rain girl, I was abrupt, Li Heng is here to make amends." Li Heng heard this, and hurriedly saluted the rain.
"I see that you are also at the age when you should say kiss, there is nothing wrong with your mother worrying about you, it stands to reason that your family conditions are so good, you have recently been admitted to Xiucai, there should be a lot of people who come to your house to say kiss, right?" Yuluo asked puzzled.
"Hehe, the girl who falls in the rain doesn't know, there are indeed a lot of people who come to my house to say that they are married, and many families are also very honest and want to marry their daughters to our family, but my mother said that marrying a wife should marry a virtuous person, and many girls are going to my family's wealth, so my mother is overwhelmed and refuses a lot of relatives, you are the first girl my mother to let me take the initiative to pursue." Li Heng scratched his head and said a little embarrassed.
"Then you have something you like, except for me, you may only be a temporary novelty to me, but it may not be necessary after a while." Yuluo asked.
"Actually, I don't know many girls, except for a few little sisters from the brothers' families in the academy, who have seen them occasionally when they are guests, but they are gone, and there are no girls I particularly like." Li Heng said.
"Where's Xiangxiang!"
"Xiangxiang? She's my sister, and of course I like her. ”
"If you are asked to marry Xiangxiang, are you willing?"
"Huh? Marry Xiangxiang? You're not kidding......" Li Heng felt very strange about the question raised by Yuluo.
"Don't you think, Xiangxiang likes you?" Yuluo asked in a low voice.
"I, Xiangxiang has loved to follow me since I was a child." Li Heng said.
"Listen to Xiangxiang, you lived together when you were young."
"Yes, when I was young, my mother helped my father take care of the family's shop and didn't have time to take care of me, so she put me at my grandfather's house."
"Then when you were young, someone joked that Xiangxiang would be your bride in the future?"
"It's... This seems to be the case, but isn't that a joke from the elders to the juniors, is it..."Li Heng hesitated when he heard this.
"Xiangxiang has liked you since she was a child, but she has always been serious when the elders in the family joked."
"But... I... I... Hey..."Li Heng didn't know what to say at this time.
At this time, Xiangxiang suddenly walked in, and Xiangxiang was already in tears at this time.
"Xiangxiang..."Li Heng was a little surprised when he saw Xiangxiang.
"The rain is falling, I... Thank you for saying this for me. Xiangxiang turned her head and looked at Li Heng again, "Cousin, Xiangxiang has liked you since you were a child, it doesn't matter if your cousin doesn't like Xiangxiang, even if you want to be a concubine for your cousin, Xiangxiang just wants to marry her cousin." ”
"Xiangxiang!" Yuluo didn't expect Xiangxiang to say such a thing.
"Yufall, it's okay with me, you don't know what it's like to like someone for so long, even if it's just humble by his side, I'm willing." Xiangxiang was already a little out of breath, crying so much that the rain fell and hurried over to take her hand.
