Miss Qian was speechless for a while, and her face was complicated.

Mrs. Qian still didn't understand, so she clenched her hand and asked, "Do you know anything about this Chen Gongzi?" He is so old, but he has ever been married, what are his parents at home, how many brothers and sisters do he have? ”

"My mother asked me what I was doing, and I couldn't marry him." Miss Qian turned over and said, "He is from Fujian, are you willing to marry me?" ”

She has always refused to agree to Chen Gu, which is one of the main reasons, she is reluctant to let go of her parents and family.

Mrs. Qian burst into tears, hugged her and said, "If he is really good and treats you sincerely, he will marry far away, and his mother will admit it." ”

Mrs. Qian cried: "You don't know that your father's damn one, he actually promised to invite you to the chastity archway over there, I'm just afraid that once this thing comes back, you can't leave the Taoist Temple in your life, where can you be free?" ”

Miss Qian was startled, sat up from the bed, and asked anxiously, "How could my father think of asking me for this?" ”

"It's not a matter of being a concubine," Mrs. Qian said hatefully: "Your brothers are all incompetent, and they have not passed the exam so far, and the industry in the clan is becoming more and more prosperous, and they have no one to rely on, but anyone who can catch up with the imperial court, they all go to camp." Your father was also blindfolded, and since he got a guide from the county lord, he became more and more proud, and he decided such a big thing without asking me, if I knew, how would I agree? ”

Miss Qian's face turned pale, it was one thing for her to be unwilling to marry, but it was another thing for her to be forced to not marry, and since that incident, she especially hated this kind of involuntary thing.

She gritted her teeth and asked, "But the invitation is already on the table, and I am willing to marry, can I get married?" ”

Mrs. Qian was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the please watch was only handed over to Lord Sun, and it has not yet been reported to the Ministry of Rites, so let your father go and ask Lord Sun, you can always ask for it, it's a big deal to give up this net worth." ”

Miss Qian bit her lip and didn't speak.

Mrs. Qian looked anxious, but she had to lower her voice and ask softly: "Yuyu, tell your mother, are you willing to marry him?" ”

Miss Qian bowed slightly.

Mrs. Qian's eyes overflowed with tears, and she asked again: "Then can you understand him and his family?" ”

Miss Qian glanced up at her and said softly, "I have known Gongzi Chen for three years. ”

Mrs. Qian opened her mouth wide, staring at her daughter in disbelief with wide eyes, how could she not know anything after so long?

Miss Qian said: "He was ordered by the teacher to come to see the reading library, because he believed, so he would go to the nearby Taoist temple to read the scriptures in his spare time, at that time his daughter was cultivating in the temple, and was responsible for the affairs of the library, so I met several times." ”

"Later, when he came often, his daughter became acquainted with him, and he could say something, he knew that I was not a female crown, but a female layman, so he hinted that he wanted to marry me," Miss Qian's face was slightly red when she said this, but she was not a person who twisted it, and since she decided to confess, she naturally would not hide it anymore, so she said: "I told him what happened back then." ”

Mrs. Qian was startled, grabbed her hand and said, "Why are you so confused? He is from Fujian, don't you say ......"

"I don't say it, he can always find out," Miss Qian cut off her mother's words and said, "At that time, I had no intention of treating him, the purpose was to make him lose that thought, so I had no scruples." ”

"What's more, my matter is known all over the city, everyone doesn't talk about it in person, but they say everything in private, can't he still find out?"

It was too big a fuss back then.

The two homeless people were executed, and Suzhou expelled many homeless people for this reason, and later there was a siege of the Lin family's courtyard.

Even if she has later moved away from the world and lived in a Taoist temple, she can always listen to the old family whispering about the events of the past.

Mrs. Qian's heart tightened and asked, "Then, what did he say?" ”

Miss Qian lowered her eyes and said: "He has two months to come to the Taoist Temple, and when he comes back later, he will tell me that he still wants to be with me, and it is me who hurts me the most, and he will only cherish me and love me more." ”

Miss Qian lifted her eyelids and looked at her mother and said, "Father may not remember, but in the two months he disappeared, he actually went back to Chen's house and invited someone to propose marriage to his father, but at that time, my father thought that the other party was talking about a little sister, so he refused." ”

Mrs. Qian opened her mouth wide.

She remembered that at that time, a person came to the door to propose, and it happened that the youngest daughter was talking about marriage, and she and her husband thought that the other party was mentioning the youngest daughter, so they drove the person away without waiting for the other party to finish speaking.

Is it true that both husband and wife think that the man is here to make trouble, do they seem to be the ones who will marry their beloved daughter to a foreign country?

During that time, there were many scholars who came to Su, and many of them bought concubines or wives locally, so as to rely on the Yue family.

The couple couldn't get used to this kind of person, so they drove people away, and they were angry for a while afterwards. They really didn't expect anyone to propose marriage to their eldest daughter.

Miss Qian said: "From then on, I knew that he was sincere, but I still couldn't promise him. ”

Miss Qian smiled bitterly, "I can't bear my father, and I can't bear Suzhou ......"

So she has been avoiding him, only willing to treat him as a friend, Chen Gu will not mention it anymore, has been studying in Suzhou, and will only return to Fujian during the Chinese New Year.

But he is old, and his family has been urging him to get married, and now he can't delay it any longer, so he came to ask her if he could give each other a chance.

After three years of getting along, it is impossible to say that she is not impressed.

So she hesitated, Chen Gu may have seen it, so he hugged her excitedly, but it was such a coincidence that people could see that scene.

Miss Qian didn't say the matter in such detail, but the meaning was also expressed, and Mrs. Qian heard that they were still in the hazy stage, and she had a better impression of Chen Gu.

Hurriedly asked: "He is two years older than you, so he didn't get married?" ”

"He was married, but the girl died of illness when they were about to get married, so it was not good for him to kiss right away, so he came to Suzhou to study on the orders of his teacher."

I met her.

Mrs. Qian couldn't help but sigh at their fate, and hesitated for a while.

Miss Qian hesitated for a moment and said, "Mother, yesterday he went to Guanli to look for me, and he happened to let Lord Lin meet him." ”

Mrs. Qian was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Is there anything out of the ordinary?" ”

Miss Qian was silent.

Mrs. Qian understood that there was, and she finally understood why her daughter suddenly sent someone back to pass the word and asked her to pick her up, but it turned out that she had done something wrong and was bumped into.

I also understood why Chen Gu was so anxious to send the official media to say goodbye, she didn't know whether to be angry or relieved for a while, and she couldn't say anything.

Miss Qian said: "At that time, the county lord did not see my face, and quickly avoided it, and he later said that the lady was very gentlemanly. I didn't sound right, so I asked carefully, only to know that it was Lord Lin. ”

"I just wanted to go home and avoid it for a while, but I didn't expect him to let the official media come to the door to say goodbye." I didn't expect her father to invite her to the archway of chastity.

This thing is not popular in Liang country, not to mention Tang, it is normal for women to remarry, even if they are separated from each other, who will make the archway of chastity at this time.

And Liang has been in the midst of war, and what he lacks most is people, so he has been encouraging widows to remarry, and this thing may not be issued for three years, even if there is an application in the local area, the Ministry of Rites does not like to approve it.

Even if it is a batch, it is mostly approved to a wealthy family, this kind of family has no shortage of food, no lack of clothing, and it is nothing if you don't marry a daughter less.

Unfortunately, the Qian family is in this kind of ranks, and basically as long as they report it, they will have eight points accurate.

That's why Mr. Qian was so panicked, because only his family applied in the whole of Suzhou, and he inquired that there were only two memorial arches in Jiangnan Province this year, including three of them.

And the conditions of their home are the best.

Sun Huai is indeed the Qian family who wants to report, because Miss Qian is very wronged, and the women of the other two families still have children and daughters, so it is reasonable to keep the festival for her husband.

But Miss Qian suffered from the disaster of no reason, when the refugees of the Southern Han Dynasty poured in, the Qian family, as a squire, also donated a lot of money and grain, and also sent people to cook rice porridge at the door of the house to help the victims.

As a result, those homeless people were not greedy enough and broke into Qian's house at night, and that night Miss Qian was late for reading, so she took her maid and mother-in-law to stay in the small study.

Let the two homeless people break into the bad reputation, in Sun Huai's opinion, Miss Qian needs this brand more than the two women.

What's more, the Qian family is rich, and they have never said goodbye to Miss Qian, and most of them will not marry in the future, so it is better to give it to her, so that she will have some face in the clan in the future.

So Sun Huai has not returned to Yangzhou yet, but he has already decided to report to Miss Qian.

As a result, he made a decision, so Mr. Qian came to the door to ask for the invitation form, and asked for the guilt that someone came to the house to propose marriage, and they took pity on their daughter and wanted to marry her.

Sun Huai: ...... Is this playing him like a monkey, thinking that this thing can be applied for if you want to, and can be withdrawn if you want to?

Sun Huai drank a cup of tea, put down the teacup and left.

Master Qian could only kneel outside to plead guilty, and he knelt for half a night before being sent back to Qian's house by Sun Huai, without giving a word.

Master Qian only felt that his heart was cold, and he was about to bring a heavy gift to the door tomorrow to beg, when he heard his wife relay his daughter's words, his eyes lit up slightly and said, "The county lord knows about this?" ”

"Don't worry, the county lord didn't see Yuyu's face."

"Oh, why didn't you see it?" Master Qian was so anxious that he gritted his teeth and said in his wife's ear: "You take your daughter to visit Lord Linjun tomorrow......"

Mrs. Qian hesitated, "Is this good, Lord Lin is a husband and a festival, but I am afraid that I will not be used to seeing fish like this, and if I blame it then......"

"Lord Lin is not that kind of person," Master Qian said confidently: "If she really can't get used to it, she will ask Yuyu for the crime at that time, why should she say such things to Chen Gu?" ”

"Then that's what Lord Sun is?" Mrs. Qian was entangled: "Asking the county lord to come forward, didn't you offend Lord Sun even more?" The county officials are not as good as the current management, but Master Sun is an observer of Jiangnan, and the Qian family has to beg for a living under him for generations. ”

"Don't worry, I will not let Lord Sun lose face, I will come to the door tomorrow to beg, this matter is not handled properly by my Qian family, I will say the same to the county lord, do this."

Mrs. Qian nodded hesitantly, "Then I'll take Yuyu to try it tomorrow." ”
