He Angelica's pupils shrank, but the expression on his face did not change. Lu Jiangbei paused for a moment, wanting to read some information from the other party's eyes, but he only felt that this girl's eyes were very different from others', like well water under the moonlight, clear and deep, but there was something cold under the eyes, which made people unable to see clearly.

Lu Jiangbei had no choice but to continue: "The name under me is Lu Jiangbei, who works for Jinyiwei, and was entrusted by Duan Xiaolou in September of the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu to ask Miss He for your marriage. Duan Shao is the son of An Ning Rutingbo Mansion, and his military rank is from Wupin Wuluo General, and he is now serving in Jinyiwei...... Well, he is born in the month of Gengxu, a zodiac dog, and there are three out of twenty this year. He...... Young and promising, both civil and military, good looking, sturdy physique, and no bad habits (except for picking up women on the side of the road to go home), he was the seventh oldest in our group of nine, but the third in official position...... The Duan family is a hereditary earl, he is a sister-in-law and an only son, there are only a few cousins who live in the same house, and his mother is also a very good one. Sex people, you can see Duan Shao, he is very following his aunt's temperament, old-fashioned and warm-hearted, and brave (picking up women on the side of the road to go home)...... The most important thing is that among the nine people in our group, only he has not married a wife, if you marry him, you will be the head of the Duan Mansion. What do you think? ”

Lu Jiangbei has always talked a lot about torture to extract confessions, but he has never spoken to others as a matchmaker, and he doesn't know if this will work, so the more he talks, the more unconfident he becomes, and his voice becomes quieter and quieter. Moreover, since Duan Shaoyang begged himself to be a matchmaker last night, his chest was like a ball of cotton, and he was always out of breath. He vaguely understood what it meant, but he didn't dare to think about it further. There are thousands of beautiful women in the world, it doesn't have to be her, it shouldn't be her.

After He Angelica listened, he paused for a while, and suddenly covered his mouth and laughed out loud.

Lu Jiangbei looked at He Angelica strangely, He Angelica looked at him with a smile, and apologized with a smile: "Rude, I just thought of something else, and I laughed when I forgot my feelings." The other party's stumbling truthful words reminded her of the scene when she was a matchmaker in her previous life, and her speech was panicked, and her preface did not match the afterword, lest she mess things up. In the end, she found out that the family who was proposed was actually very happy, but she never gave people a chance to speak, so that both parties were hanging their hearts and were uneasy for a long time.

The confusion in Lu Jiangbei's heart deepened, as a daughter's family, when she heard that someone proposed to her directly, she was not ashamed or ashamed, but she was still distracted, and she laughed after coming back to her senses? How can there be such a strange thing in the world? Or does she already have a heart in her heart, so she doesn't care about other people's courtship?

Thinking of this, Lu Jiangbei's heart was even more blocked, and he said with difficulty: "Miss He, you ......"

He Angelica also raised his head at this time and said, "Lord Lu, I ......"

After a short look and a smile, Lu Jiangbei looked away and only said, "Please say it, I will tell Duan Shao truthfully." ”

He Angelica shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't accept this dowry, and I can't accept family affairs." ”

Lu Jiangbei first breathed a sigh of relief, then took another breath, and quickly asked, "Why?" Is Miss He already married, or do you already have a sweetheart? ”

He Angelica shook his hand to stop his speculation, his eyes were as clear as water, he looked at a withered locust tree in front of the window lightly, and said, "Please tell Duan Gongzi, one, I don't have the right door with him; Second, the words of the matchmaker of his parents' orders, the object of his marriage is not right; Three, I am full of gratitude to him, and only gratitude...... I don't want to marry him. ”

Hearing such a simple refusal, Lu Jiangbei's heart was full of surprise, he always thought that why Angelica also had a faint affection for Duan Shao, and with Duan Shao's family background, as long as the other party did not know that he had adopted a hundred "fallen girls" in his family, there was absolutely no reason to refuse when he opened his mouth.

Moreover, a few days ago, through the secret agent's tip-off, he and Duan Shao and Liao Shao already roughly knew Miss He's bleak life experience, and knew that when she was still in infancy, her parents divorced. Her mother took her back to her mother's home, Luo's family, but Luo's family left her on the farm for a few years and ignored her, and then she returned to Luo's house, and died within half a year. In his opinion, Miss Ho should really want to escape from that home. The Duan family is a good haven, even if Miss He really has no intention of Duan Shao, she should not refuse to marry so decisively. Putting this family affair into consideration, and leaving her a way out, why not?

Having said that, Lu Jiangbei thinks that he also knows a little about the temperament of the girl's family. Under normal circumstances, a woman's heart should at least be happy to be shown and proposed by a beautiful son. Looking at the delicate face of the ancient well without waves on the other side, Lu Jiangbei wondered in his heart, is she hiding too deeply, or is she really ruthless?

Lu Jiangbei sighed from the bottom of his heart, but said gently: "Miss He, I just hope that you will reply to Duan Shao after thinking twice, he is really serious." The reason why I didn't go to Lingtang to propose marriage first is because I respect your wishes, and I want to wait for you to nod your head first, and then go to the Luo family to propose marriage, so as not to be overwhelmed and panicked and scared at that time. In addition, although Duan Shao intends to officially set up a family affair in the next few days, he is willing to wait for you for another two or three years when it comes to marrying, waiting for you to accept him from your heart, and waiting for you to grow up. As for the silver bills and deeds—"

A pair of clear and white, hidden hands, slowly pushed over the brocade box on the table, "It was all done by Duan Shao yesterday when he went down the mountain to urge someone, and it is not a formal dowry, Miss He, please accept it with confidence." In the future, when the Duan family proposes to the Luo family again, whether it is successful or not, this is Miss He's. ”

He Angelica smiled in a low voice, she was a human being in two lives, but she didn't know that there were good things in the world that came to nothing?

Lu Jiangbei was puzzled, looked at her, and had to wait for the answer. What kind of woman would simply reject Duan Shao, and then reject Duan Shao's silver?

The four eyes intersected, He Angelica suddenly put away his smile, and his eyebrows were cold: "Regardless of whether the family affair is successful or not, the property of six thousand taels will be given to me?" Oh, what a big deal! No matter what Duan Gongzi meant, such a thoughtful little woman would never dare to take it, Lord Lu, please take the things back and don't send them. With that, he stood up and walked out the door quickly.

Lu Jiangbei's face was slightly anxious, and he stopped and asked, "What is this for?" Did I offend the girl by saying something inappropriate? The girl took me away like this, how could I explain to Xiaolou? ”

"The little woman has made it very clear that the door between me and Duan Gongzi is not right. My family background, whether it is my father's family or my mother's family, is high compared to the Duan family, not to mention that I am still a superfluous person who has been abandoned by two families. I have obviously refused this matter, and you still want to give me silver, and say that you can still accept gifts if you don't agree to relatives? Lord Lu, are you fooling the children? He Angelica sneered, and the fierceness in his eyes was overwhelming, "Let me ask, after I accept it, will I marry someone else in the future?" How can I tell my future husband where this money came from? If I see Duan Gongzi again in the future, a person who is kind to me, who claims to like me, and who has given me money, how will I deal with myself? ”

Lu Jiangbei was silent, and sighed after a while: "It seems that the girl is ...... to Xiaolou I really don't have any other thoughts. ”

He Angelica said coldly: "Although I am a humble woman whose life is like an ant, I also understand the truth of Entu's retribution. Duan Gongzi first helped deliver the letter to my mother, and last night, together with the generals, turned the entire Taoist temple upside down, so that I could find the golden lock that was as heavy as my life, and I will remember all of this. In two or three years, although I will not be able to repay the report; Four or five years later, Duan Gongzi and you may have a time when they can use the little girl. At that time, as long as you speak, I will not refuse. ”

Lu Jiangbei was speechless for a while, and at this moment, he strangely believed in her words without the slightest doubt. His gaze wandered over her face, and the calmness and clarity in her eyes made his heart seem to be pressed by some heavy object.

"Tell me, what kind of man can get your heart?" Lu Jiangbei asked softly.

He Angelica also replied to him softly: "I am a heartless person. ”

The two were silent and relatively speechless, the dark clouds in the sky became denser and denser, a lightning bolt split the sky, and the cold raindrops fell in an instant. He Angelica's body has not been well-organized, and at this moment, the top of his head and shoulders have been drenched in a lot of ice rain, his lips are immediately pale and bloody, and his whole body trembles involuntarily.

Lu Jiangbei hurriedly pulled her back into the house and said with concern: "Miss He, where are you uncomfortable?" I have been so pale when I saw you for the past two days. ”

He Angelica shook his head, leaned on the stove at the head of the bed, and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have an umbrella to borrow you here, do you want to take shelter from the rain before leaving, or do you leave now?" "Although it rained heavily, he could fly twice and go back to the West Chamber.

"Don't you have an umbrella? That...... Just lend me your hand. ”

The sound was low, but it felt close.

He Angelica turned his head in surprise, and saw Lu Jiangbei sitting on the edge of the bed close to her, the two were very close, so close that they could hear each other's breathing and heartbeat.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, she didn't understand what Lu Jiangbei meant, half an hour ago, didn't he still act as a matchmaker to say goodbye to Duan Xiaolou? Combined with Lu Jiangbei's always gentle and polite image, she doesn't know what expression to make to the slightly "frivolous" Lu Jiangbei now.

Lu Jiangbei also guessed that he might not be able to "borrow" the other party's hand, so he switched to "grabbing" and put a pair of cold little hands into his big palm. He Angelica frowned, and just as he was about to say something, he felt a warm and comfortable trickle like a hot spring, which was transmitted from his locked palm to his limbs, and his cold body gradually regained its warmth.

He Angelica was surprised, this is ...... Really angry?
