Qin's life is very good, he doesn't have to serve his mother-in-law, he doesn't have to worry about his son's studies, and he doesn't need to engage in the house fighting career that most women in today's era dedicate their lives to.

But that doesn't mean she's a delicate flower who doesn't understand anything.

The status of the Duan family in Huizhou Mansion determines that she needs to deal with many high-ranking and powerful people, and participates in the preparation of many activities for the communication of the family.

Sunlight shines through the papier-mâché windows, leaving a faint halo.

When Qin Shi cast her gaze into the hall for the first time, in a faint halo, she seemed to see a sword.

But when she opened her eyes and looked closely, there was still only a weak girl sitting in the hall, and the sword seemed to be just a phantom.

Qin Shi looked at it carefully.

The girl sitting in the middle of the hall was dressed in an outdated garment, with picturesque eyebrows, a fair complexion, and a delicate appearance. Although he looks good, he can only be regarded as good in the stunning south.

The only thing that could attract Qin's attention was the girl's eyes, which were bright and clear, with an indescribable taste.

The streamer is introverted, and the charm is hidden.

Even though there was no one else in the room, the girl still sat straight, and the tea and snacks brought by the servant were placed untouched.

It has actually been an hour since the next person came to report Miss Zhu Jiu's visit, and the Qin family deliberately hung this girl who intended to climb the dragon and the phoenix, and hoped that she could retreat despite the difficulties.

However, the tea and snacks on the table had lost their heat, and the most impatient girl in the rumored room sat motionless for an hour.

The last time Qin saw her was ten years ago, when she was held in her arms by the then British Duchess, like a blessing doll on a New Year's painting.

After the death of both parents, Miss Zhu Jiu rarely appeared in front of people, but whenever she appeared, she would inevitably make jokes, Duan Zhiyun often told her how stupid and domineering this girl was after attending a party with Miss Zhu Jiu.

And now, this Miss Zhu Jiu who appeared in the eyes of the Qin family was neither like what she was described when she was a child, nor what her daughter described.

He sat for an hour, but he did not make a big noise, nor did he send people to inquire repeatedly, his expression was calm, and there was not even a trace of impatience on his face.

At this point alone, the heart has surpassed many ladies of the same age that the Qin family has seen.

Qin Shi frowned, feeling that this girl might not be so easy to handle. She felt for a purse she had brought with her on the door and stepped into the hall.

……

Zhu Luan came to the Duan Mansion under the guidance of Yuying, and not long after reporting to the porter, a very decently dressed old mother came to bring her into this side hall, Yuying was arranged to drink tea in the gatehouse, and the old mother and the maids went down after bringing tea and snacks, and no one came after that.

Sitting alone for an hour may inevitably be boring for ordinary people, but when Zhu Luan was a sniper in modern times, he often lay on his stomach in the bunker for a day, and he was used to waiting for a long time, and he didn't feel difficult.

An hour later, someone came to the side hall.

It was a middle-aged woman who came in, elegantly dressed and elegantly dressed, Zhu Luan guessed that this should be Duan Erlang's mother, stood up, and gave her a junior salute.

She didn't plan to say anything about the things that the other party had made her wait for an hour, she still had a lot of things to do, and she didn't want to waste her tongue on this uninterested person and the marriage contract, she put her hand into her pocket and prepared to take out the marriage book left by Miss Zhu Jiu.

Unexpectedly, someone was more anxious than her, only to see Qin Shi pull out a purse in his hand, take out a piece of red paper that looked a little familiar from it, and then tear it in half neatly.

"I know what you want to say," Qin Shi looked at the girl in front of him, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the red paper torn in half fell to the ground, and the huge word "marriage book" on the paper looked a little dazzling.

She smiled helplessly, even kindly, softly, but spikily in her words.

"This marriage letter was in duplicate back then, I know you should still have one in your hand, but it is impossible for the Duan family to accept this marriage contract, even if you take out the marriage book, it is just waste paper."

Zhu Luan frowned.

Qin's feet stepped on the marriage book on the ground, sat on the chair next to Zhu Luan, and said like an elder teaching a junior.

"I've also been young, and I know that little girls of your age always like to peek at the writing scripts and dramas, and look forward to the stories of those talented people and beautiful women," the smile on the corner of Qin's mouth became stronger and stronger, "But, people know that my son is a rare talent in a hundred years, but you ......"

Qin Shi looked Zhu Luan up and down, covered his mouth and laughed.

"What kind of beauty are you?"

In Qin's expectations, girls at this age are the most dreaming and face-loving, even if Miss Zhu Jiu is thick-skinned, a young girl will always be angry when she is humiliated to this point, and as soon as people are angry, they will do some irrational behavior, such as tearing the marriage book in half and running out angrily just like the example she gave to that girl before.

Zhu Luan also smiled.

Before coming to see Duan Erlang's mother, she planned to return the marriage certificate to the Duan family and leave, the Duan family was eager to get rid of Miss Zhu Jiu, and Zhu Luan was eager to get rid of the Duan family.

But now Qin's attitude made her very curious.

After Qin Shi said those words, he didn't get the expected response, and the girl opposite just smiled and didn't say anything.

It's like a punch on cotton.

It seems that it is really as her daughter said, this Miss Zhu Jiu has no shame at all! Sure enough, don't be cheeky and devote yourself to climbing the dragon and the phoenix!

However, the Qin family still had a faint pride in her heart, it was precisely because her son was so good that these little girls didn't care about anything and just wanted to marry him.

"I don't know if your son is a talented man," Zhu Luan said slowly, "But this marriage contract was made by Master Duan Fu and his father ten years ago. ”

"Hehe," Qin Shi smiled, "Miss Zhu, you were still young, your parents left early, and it is estimated that you will not have time to teach you many things, this marriage contract is actually just a bet between the master and your father." ”

This matter is in Miss Zhu Jiu's memory.

At that time, Miss Zhu Jiu's father and Master Duan decided to compete with each other on a whim when they were drinking and talking, and agreed that whoever lost would go to the other party's house to propose marriage, no matter what the final result was, the two of them planned to become in-laws, and this bet was just a matter of face between men.

The final result was that Master Duan lost, Master Duan went to the British Mansion to propose marriage, and Miss Zhu Jiu's father also agreed.

Now the two men who made the engagement are dead.

"I know about this, what's the matter, can't the Duan family afford to lose?" Zhu Luan asked rhetorically.

How to speak!

Dare to slander the Duan family!

Qin Shi pressed the anger in his heart, "It's not a question of whether you can afford to lose or not. Qin's voice became more and more gentle, "It's just that some people's lives are not good, and it can't be changed by temporary luck." ”

"Even if you are lucky at the beginning, you will still fall back to the place where you should have fallen in the end, and some people are born to be the pride of the sky, not the sludge on the ground that can be disgraced."

The Qin clan looked at Zhu Luan meaningfully.

"Trying to climb the dragon and the phoenix to change his life is just a worse fall."

Qin felt that his words had been heavy enough.

She felt that her voice and posture had always been very gentle, she did not deliberately overbearing, but she pressed people to the ground, she did not deliberately condescend, but she showed the identity of the Duan family, like the bright moon in the sky shining nobly and coldly on the sludge on the ground.

She was very happy with her performance.

also felt that Miss Zhu Jiu should have exploded in the next moment, tore up the marriage book and ran out crying.

"I don't understand."

Zhu Luan smiled at her, and his words were really incomprehensible.

"What qualifications does the Huizhou Duan family, who is not even a family surnamed B, have to look down on the daughter of the first-class duke's family? Could it be true, as rumored in the streets, those who want to climb the dragon and the phoenix want to go crazy and go to Xiao to think about Princess Shang? ”

"You!"

The perfect mask on Qin's face shattered.

I couldn't help but stand up.

It's okay, it's just that this girl is lonely and unheard. Qin comforted himself like this

She struggled to maintain her self-containment, taking a few deep breaths.

"It seems that you are really uneducated and uneducated." Qin Shi calmed down, and his voice was no longer so gentle.

"If it's about the rumors of Xiao'er and Princess Jinyang, I can only say that there is holy will and I dare not speculate, but when it comes to qualifications, only a shallow-eyed woman like you can only know how to hold on to the title."

Qin's voice carried a pride that she didn't even notice.

"My eldest man once had a princess ten years ago, but His Majesty at that time personally gave him a marriage."

As soon as the words fell, Qin was satisfied to see that the face of the girl in front of him changed.

"What's your husband's name?" Zhu Luan asked.

"You don't even know this," Qin shook his head slightly.

"It is the current official book, Duan Haochu."

Zhu Luan was struck by lightning.

Duan Haochu.

She will never forget the name when she dies.

It was her fiancé back then.
