Chapter 52: Chapter 3 of the Covenant
On the second day, Sima Ting persevered in coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose, but this time he didn't enter the door, so he was thrown out by Chu Luolian with a gift, and said menacingly: "Hong Ying's marriage, she can't make her own decisions." ”
Sima Ting didn't get angry, but asked him sharply: "Are you in love with her?" ”
Chu Luo couldn't answer, because he didn't understand what kind of emotion love was. Sima Ting took advantage of the victory and pursued: "Since you don't love her, why do you frequently interfere with her happiness?" ”
"No why." I just don't want to. In fact, what reasons are needed before doing something, just do it with your heart. He knew that if he didn't stop Sima Ting this time, he was afraid that he would regret it for the rest of his life. Moreover, when Hongying married Sima Ting, he was not at ease.
"Chu Luo, how can you be such a scoundrel?"
"I'm a scoundrel, what can you do with me?"
Who doesn't have a young youth who has committed two crimes, and who said that destroying someone else's marriage is absolutely sabotage? In the pre-Qin period, there were many cases of dislocation after being separated because of wrong marriage, if the two were not compatible, his destruction was just a good thing with bad intentions.
Because Sima Ting was standing on the territory of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he couldn't pinch Chu Luo in the fight, and he couldn't beat the master of the Prime Minister's Mansion in a group beating, so he had to return the dowry and drag it back.
It didn't take long for Sima Wuya to lead thousands of forbidden troops in Kyoto, and he drove to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion with great momentum, and scolded bitterly at the door: "Little cub of the Chu family, come out for Lao Tzu." "His grandson came to the dowry sincerely, and the old man of the Chu family didn't accept it, but he actually let his little cub block his grandson's way, is it unbearable?
Chu Qingxiang leisurely put on a black robe, led thousands of family members out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and asked, "What is your name as a dead horse?" The marriage of my daughter is naturally decided by me, the elder, and the daughter of my prime minister's house does not say that whoever wants to marry can marry. ”
Sima Wuya said directly: "Old man Chu, what do you want?" ”
"In ancient times, I heard that the daughter of the official family next to me was looking for marriage, and she relied on throwing hydrangea, and my prime minister's house didn't have the spare money to engage in that Laoshizi thing, so I thought about it, and I felt that the daughter of my prime minister's house wanted to marry the first person in the world who was both civil and military......"
"The first person? Do you still want Hongying to marry the emperor? Sima Wuya sneered and said, "Don't talk nonsense, what do you want my family to do?" ”
"The spring exam is coming, and those who want to marry Hongying must first go to the test to gain fame before they can be worthy of the title of the emperor's royal title of the lord of Anxi!" Chu Qingxiang said the first condition.
"What about the second one?" Originally, the imperial examination was not necessary for a wealthy dignitary like them, but since the old fox made this request, he must have thought that his family would only dance with knives and guns, and this imperial examination opened their eyes!
Only he knows that Sima Ting's talent is no less than Sima Yan, and even not inferior to Chu Luo, but he is the future heir of the General's Mansion, and only by disguising himself as a reckless man can he put those with ulterior motives at ease.
This is also the reason why Sima Ting has been able to survive until now.
"Second, it is natural to seize the title of Wu Zhuangyuan."
"And the third?" Based on his understanding of this old fox, he has nothing more than three things, and one is more despicable and shameless than the other!
"Third, naturally it depends on Hongying's meaning, if she doesn't agree, I, as a stepfather, can't be forced, right?" Chu Qingxiang said very slippery, when choosing a husband for her, he completely ignored Hong Ying's thoughts, and when choosing a husband for her, he fully respected Hong Ying's opinion, no matter what, his first two tasks that seemed difficult to complete seemed to be to open the back door for Chu Luo, but I don't know if Chu Luo can grasp it!
Sima Wuya heard Sima Ting say Hong Ying's thoughts that day, and knew that Hong Ying was not against it, so he felt that this bet on Sima Ting to marry Hong Ying was nine out of ten, as long as Chu Qingxiang didn't make trouble from it, so he said: "Okay, I have no opinion in the past three days, I just hope you don't make trouble behind your back!" ”
"Don't worry, old friend, you know me, I never play those tricks." When Sima Wuya heard what he said, he couldn't believe him, because this old fox was playing yin all the time.
In the end, he just took a bite at him and said, "It's strange to believe you!" "If he puts small shoes on his grandson, he will put big shoes on his grandson, and see who chokes him to death!
So saying, he rode his horse up in the dust, and the horse's hooves flew and the smoke and dust billowed ......
Chu Qingxiang coughed lightly, and sighed faintly: "Luo'er, Luo'er, what should be done for you, grandfather has done it, and I hope you won't let your grandfather down!" ”
The criteria for choosing a mate for the lord of Anxi County of the Prime Minister's Mansion spread in the capital in an instant, and all the daughters of wealthy families were dumbfounded, but they didn't expect the future owner of the General's Mansion to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage, but they were also politely rejected by the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there was an impossible task to complete in three days!
As a result, Hongying's worth soared sharply because of this incident, and the wealthy family in Kyoto was counting on his son to be able to make a career and be admitted to the so-called civil and military champions, so that he could raise his eyebrows for the family and take back the famous Anxi county lord.
Among them is Pingnan Wang Jinhuai, who has always opposed his son marrying Hongying, a rural pariah, he originally thought that Hongying was just a red card in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he didn't expect that now Hongying, a girl, actually aroused the idea of the future head of the General's Mansion, and even proposed marriage twice, but it was unsuccessful.
Regardless of whether Chu'er can marry back to Hongying, but if he successfully wins the title of civil and military champion, the scales on the side of his Pingnan Mansion and Xiangfu will be tilted, and those ministers who are watching will inevitably take the opportunity to turn against him and stand on his side.
With such an idea, Jin Huai also ordered Jin Chu to find ways to curry favor with Hong Ying and find a way to marry her.
Jin Xiangxiang happened to be a guest in the palace, so he came up with an idea for him, asking him to find a way to take Hongying to the palace, she would take the opportunity to find out her preferences, and then help her younger brother!
Jin Huai didn't know what she was thinking, so he just told her, "Don't do it." ”
Jin Xiangxiang was overjoyed, and went to the Lin family after leaving the palace, and found Lin Wan'er to secretly plan.
One day, Chu Luo was going to worship his parents, so he took a special look at Hongying's door early in the morning and asked her if she wanted to go with him. Hong Ying complained sleepily: "All the guys who disturb the sleep of the county lord, the county lord curses him for being knocked over by a horse when he goes out!" ”
Chu Luo was wearing a snow-white coat, standing under the wind and snow, turning around with a slight loss, stepping on the snow that had been laid out last night, and leaving silently......
When Hong Ying was completely awake, she remembered that she had a dream, dreaming that she scolded Chu Luo bitterly, and then continued to sleep, when she pushed open Chu Luo's door in a hurry, the servant told her that Chu Luo's car had left......
Only then did Hong Ying remember that Chu Luo didn't want to take her to worship her ancestors, so she was relieved.
At breakfast, Xiangye asked her if she wanted to go to worship her ancestors together, Hongying shook her head and said, "After all, I haven't been married, so I still won't go." ”
Xiangye also thought that it would not be too late for her to marry Chu Luo in the future and then worship the ancestors that Chu Luo should really worship, and he did not force her, and let her move freely in the Xiangfu.
Because Sima Ting wanted to participate in the imperial examination, he couldn't often go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit Hong Ying, so he asked Sima Yueduo to mention him in front of Hong Ying, so as not to make Hong Ying forget him.
And Sima Yue just responded with her mouth, and when she arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, she directly dragged Hongying to the household department, and said to her: "Last time, if Gu Siming hadn't helped from it, those disaster victims would not have been able to settle down so much, so let's thank him." ”
Hong Ying nodded, she hadn't seen Gu Siming for a few days.
Gu Siming now also has an independent courtyard, not far from the general's mansion, I don't know if it is the general's instructions, in short, it is convenient for Sima Yue to visit him, these days, the relationship between Gu Siming and Sima Yue can be regarded as growing by leaps and bounds, but Gu Siming has already left a square inch of space for one person in his heart, so it is difficult to accommodate Sima Yue.
Sima Yue didn't know about this yet.
Gu Siming was originally working in the study, and the servant reported to him: "Miss Sima and Miss Chu ask to meet." ”
As soon as he guessed, he knew that it was Hongying, hurriedly put away the pen, and said in high spirits: "Hurry up, please." These days, he has been giving instructions day and night, hoping that his thoughts about Hongying can fade, but he didn't expect that the busier he was, the shadow of Yiren would wander everywhere in his head, and he couldn't get rid of it!
Now that Hong Ying is here, he was overjoyed and straightened his collar and tidied up his clothes before he dared to go out, just as Hong Ying also entered the yard and smiled at him: "Cousin, long time no see!" ”
"Cousin, you've lost weight!" Gu Siming stared at Hong Ying with burning eyes, Sima Yue only thought that they were blood relatives when they met, and her heart hurt tightly, so she didn't care, and said, "Don't just be stunned outside the house, it's cold outside!" ”
No, although the snow has stopped, the thick snow on the ground has not yet melted, and the cold wind of the north country beats on the face, which can always pierce the skin of the swimmer.
Gu Siming welcomed Hongying into the room at this time, and did not entertain Sima Yue, maybe habit is also a kind of neglect, maybe when some people become habits, her existence does not exist!
Hongying entered the study, and saw that his desk was full of official documents, she curiously picked up the folded official documents, and said with a smile: "My cousin is also a big official now, and I have something to do, and although I was canonized as the county lord, I have nothing to do all day long, and I am inevitably bored!" ”
"If your cousin is bored, you can try playing the game we played when we were young, haven't you always liked peek-a-boo?" Gu Siming suggested.
Hongying shrugged her shoulders and said boredly: "Play, play, play, always play, how can a good youth be wasted like that?" Why don't my cousins pay me a salary for a certain errand? ”
Gu Siming naturally wanted to arrange her by his side, so he readily agreed, but Sima Yue disagreed: "Hongying is the county lord and daughter, and her identity is special, so she can't be arranged by you." ”
"What does it matter?" Hong Ying didn't care, "Yue'er, you can't bear to look at me boring, right?" ”
