Chapter 527: Proposal
When it comes to seeing the world, who here has seen more of the world? In my previous life, I went to all parts of the country, but I have been to foreign countries countless times. She avoided the capital, where the nobles were all over the place and there were many powerful ministers like dogs, and she was really not interested in going to that kind of place to pretend to be a grandson.
Guan Jiaze still wanted to persuade again, but Qi Muyuan, who deeply understood Du Jinning's thoughts, patted Guan Jiaze on the shoulder and said, "Okay, it's not like I haven't stayed in the capital, that place is said to be prosperous, but there are many troubles." In addition to participating in the meeting examination and the palace examination, Jin Ning really didn't need to go there. Of course, it's another thing to go there and be an official. ”
Guan Jiaze persuaded Du Jinning to go, but he missed the situation when their brothers were together. Now although he has grown a lot, he has gained a firm foothold in the capital, and he has suppressed the limelight of his brothers and sisters, but he is lonely in his heart. Among the brothers, he valued Du Jinning the most, so he hoped that Du Jinning could go to the capital to accompany him.
Hearing Qi Muyuan say this at this time, he also knew that he was selfish and didn't think about Du Jinning thoughtfully.
He felt guilty in his heart, but a mocking smile appeared on his face: "What Qi Muyuan said is also true." I haven't seen her for two years, and Jinning's appearance has become more and more beautiful. If you go to the capital and are caught by the magnates, or even by the princesses and county lords, you will be in big trouble. It's better to be in Gui Province. ”
"you." Du Jinning gave him a punch, "You dare to joke with me, I haven't seen you for two years." ”
Everyone burst into laughter.
Xu Chengyuan, who is here, is the oldest. Xu is because of the loss of his father at an early age and the poverty of his family, he matures early, has a calm personality, and always thinks more than others.
When everyone's laughter fell, he seriously persuaded Du Jinning: "Jinning, although Guan Jiaze's words are a joke, they are not unreasonable. You're fourteen now, and you'll be married in two years, so it's time to think about making a marriage deal. You're good-looking, and you're so talented, and there are a lot of people staring at you. Let's say in this one-third of an acre of land in Gui Province, even if those powerful people take a fancy to you, they don't dare to make up their minds easily, but if you really go to the capital and be caught by someone, you will be in real trouble. ”
Speaking of this, Guan Jiaze's emotions are a little complicated.
He really likes Du Jinning, and thinks that if Du Jinning can marry his sister Guan Jiayu, it will be really a good thing. This is an excellent thing for Du Jinning himself, for the Guan family, and for Guan Jiayu, who likes Du Jinning. Why is Du Jinning unwilling to marry his sister?
Remembering that in order to improve the status of his mother and sister in the Guan family, he had to marry his wife, and now although the husband and wife are not particularly affectionate, they can get along harmoniously. He tried his best to be good to his wife, and his wife tried her best to manage the family, Guan Jiaze, who had never tasted love, didn't understand Du Jinning's approach.
Du Jinning didn't want to talk more about her family here, and said with a smile: "I'm only fourteen years old, who wants to arrest me to be my son-in-law?" However, Qi Muyuan has reached the age of sixteen, and when it is time to marry, he should be careful. ”
Everyone made jokes about Qi Muyuan again, making fun of him marrying a daughter-in-law.
Although Qi Muyuan's personality is a little colder, he is still very good to his friends. Usually everyone makes a joke, and when he is interested, he will echo a few words playfully, and talk and laugh with everyone. But today there was some silence, listening to everyone's jokes just laughing and laughing, and drinking the tea in their hands one by one. If it weren't for the fact that everyone hadn't asked for alcohol today, maybe he would have gone home drunk.
Du Jinning looked at him like this, thinking that everyone was talking about his heart. For a family like Qi Muyuan, when to marry a daughter-in-law and what kind of daughter-in-law to marry, he can't make his own decisions, he has to listen to his parents and elders. Now that Qi Bokun has returned to Beijing, he may write a letter after a while, saying that he has helped Qi Muyuan make a family appointment.
She hurriedly pressed Qi Muyuan's arm and persuaded in a low voice: "You drink less, this is not wine." ”
Looking at her white and tender hands, which were one size smaller than herself, Qi Muyuan was a little stunned for a while.
Du Jinning has been mixing in the pile of men for so many years, and she has her own set of practices without being discovered. For example, when others occasionally find that she is a little different from other men, she is never weak-hearted, but calmly and calmly what she should do. When others saw her like this, they naturally suppressed the suspicion in their hearts, and even felt guilty for their thoughts. Over time, everyone felt that even if Du Jinning was different from these boys, it was normal.
At this time, she saw Qi Muyuan staring at her hand with straight eyes, and naturally retracted her hand on the one hand, and turned him with her elbow on the other: "What are you stunned?" The roast duck in front of you can't be caught on the other side, so you hand it to them. ”
Qi Muyuan came back to his senses, hurriedly handed over the roast duck, and suppressed the throbbing in his heart while he was busy, and his expression returned to calm.
Although everyone is very concerned about Guan Jiaze, but the dispute between Guan's father's wife and concubine is not easy to ask, Guan Jiaze is not willing to talk about it, everyone only talked about the customs of the capital, plus Guan Jiaze's studies, seeing that the time is not high, they plan to disperse.
But before he finished saying goodbye, Wang Fulai's voice came from outside the door: "Young master, young master." ”
Although Wang Fulai was born as a poor driver driver, he has followed Du Jinning over the years and was often taught by Yao Shuqi, but he also keeps pace with the times and pays attention to what he says and does. Usually there is no urgent matter, and he usually does not shout, so as not to lose Du Jinning's face. The scream was urgent and loud, with a faint excitement, which made Du Jinning's heart skip a beat, lest something happen to the family.
Before she could stand up, Wang Fulai broke in. He wiped the sweat on his face, raised a smile and was about to speak, and when he saw the room full of people, especially Qi Muyuan, Guan Jiaze and others, he calmed down suddenly.
"What's the matter?" Du Jinning asked.
"When the villain drove over to pick up the young master, he heard from the people on the road that the list was going to be released at the gate of the Gongyuan, and he was anxious to let the young master go to see the list, so he lost his temper." Wang Fulai scratched his head embarrassedly, looked honest, and bowed his hand again, "Disturbing the peace of the young masters, the villain should be damned." ”
I haven't seen Wang Fulai for a long time, and Guan Jiaze feels very cordial. He waved his hand and smiled: "We are also anxious and excited when we hear that the list is released, what is this." He stood up as he spoke, "Let's go, let's go and see the list." ”
Everyone was anxious to know their ranking, and they all got up and walked out.
Du Jinning also got up, but when he passed by Wang Fulai's side, he took a deep look at Wang Fulai.
She knows best what kind of character Wang Fulai is. If she hadn't been released on the list, and her ranking on the list was very unexpected by Wang Fulai, he would definitely not be what he was just now. I know my ranking, but I don't say it, I still hide it, just waiting for everyone to see it, for the sake of this......
Just thinking about it made her heart beat a little faster.
It wouldn't be what she thought it would be.
