151 Straightforward refusal
"Zhou'er, you're back and have good news for you. 」
I had never seen Changqing so happy and excited, and I could guess a thing or two when I saw his dress, so I replied:
"Today the weather is sunny and cloudless, congratulations on completing your marriage. He smiled at me as he glanced at the person behind Changqing.
The red fox paused, his eyes full of surprise, and took a step closer: "Zhou'er, today is our big day!"
Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusu happened to walk in, and when they heard this, they glanced at each other.
Xie Bi'an was really a little surprised, pulled Zou Zhou to his side, and pointed at the red fox with a little anger on his face: "You can't talk nonsense about such a big thing as marriage. Red Fox, you didn't even discuss it with Zou Zhou, what do you mean by coming to pick up your relatives?"
The red fox was aggrieved in his heart, and he was looking forward to the stars and the moon to look forward to the arrival of this day.
"Yes, yes, I was negligent, I'm sorry Zhou'er. The red fox continued to move, the smile on his face was obviously a little reluctant, and his eyes were full of expectation when he looked at Zou Zhou.
"If you have anything to say, come into the house. Fan Wusu finished speaking, took the lead in crossing the threshold and walked into the house, then turned his head to look at the pick-up team that was about to follow, and said coldly: "The house is small, you can forget it." 」
Indeed, the largest hall could not accommodate fifty or sixty people.
A large table that was placed in the house before was moved out by Fan Wusu early in the morning to bask in the sun.
Now everyone can only hold a stool and form a circle and look at each other.
The red fox is dressed in bright red, which is particularly conspicuous, even if you don't want to see it, that touch of red will come into view.
It was as if there were hundreds of rabbits scurrying around in my heart, disturbing my mind and making my palms damp.
The ass was also numb, and I was unconscious for a while. I knew I couldn't do it quietly, so I got up and said I'd go make a pot of tea.
Even though I've slowed down all my movements a hundredfold to the point of stopping, time is still ticking.
In the end, I still had to walk step by step to the hall with the teapot and face the red fox.
"The tea is ready, try it while it's hot. After arriving at the tea one by one, I placed the teacups one by one in front of its owner, and when I put them in front of the red fox, my hands trembled slightly.
The red fox hurriedly picked up the water cup happily, whirred with hot air, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Zhou'er, sit down quickly." 」
After a few laughs, he began to fidget again with the tray in his arms.
"That's right, Zou Zhou in our family is still young, and besides, his mind is not well developed. As for this marriage, I think you can cancel it, Red Fox. 」
Xie Bi'an put aside his previous bad impression of the red fox and finished speaking earnestly and to the point.
After hearing this, Fan Wusu nodded and said, "I think so too. 」
"But the marriage between me and Zhou'er has already been decided, and now that my father has agreed, shouldn't the marriage be completed as soon as possible?" Red Fox's face turned a little red.
"Do you know that you're chasing ducks to the shelves?" Xie Bi'an's anger increased, and the water cup was placed on a small round stool, and half of the tea in it would be spilled. "Listening to the tone of your words, I won't agree even more!"
The red fox wrote the reason all over his face, and looked at Zou Zhou, who was always hanging his head, in amazement: "Zhou'er, what do you mean, are you willing to complete the wedding ceremony with me today?"
"Red fox me, me. His fingers were about to be broken by himself, "I'll tell you the truth, I never thought of marrying you. I'm really sorry that I just talked about it later. 」
"Zhou'er, what are you talking about, don't scare me like this, I've already thought about our future, you can listen to it, maybe you will agree." 」
Embarrassment climbed on the red fox's face, but the smile was still there, how much he hoped that if it entered his ears, it was all a dream, and it was good to end the wake-up quickly.
Xie Bi'an didn't fail to see the red fox's dejected face, but he didn't hesitate, and approached and patted him on the shoulder:
"Red Fox, you and Zou Zhou's matter, Fan Wuxuan and I are basically involved from beginning to end
。 She never said that she wanted to marry you, but you always talked to yourself alone, which made Zou Zhou very embarrassed. 」
Xie Bi'an's words hadn't been spoken yet, but when he saw this, he had to stop, closed his mouth and got up and walked to the door.
Suddenly, everything seemed to stop, and even the flow of time was frozen.
The red fox couldn't laugh anymore, he put the teacup steady, slowly got up and walked to a place three steps away from the door, and suddenly stopped.
"Zhou'er, is that so? I make you very embarrassed and unhappy?"
All the previous light in his eyes disappeared without a trace at this moment.
"No, Changqing, you didn't make me unhappy, on the contrary, if you hadn't saved me in the first place, I'm afraid I wouldn't be where I am now. I'm so happy and lucky to know you, it's true. I tried to make myself as happy as I could.
"Zhou'er, then can you marry me for my sake of saving you?" Chihu smiled weakly, staring at Zou Zhou's eyes nervously waiting for an answer.
"No, Changqing, you and I are from different worlds, and I can't destroy you until you're happy enough. I also want to say that friendship sometimes lasts longer than love, so let's be good friends for life, okay?"
The red fox restrained his smile and turned around silently, like a leaf that seemed to have fallen in winter, gone with the cold wind.
Xie Bi'an and Fan Wusu remained silent, watched the red fox leave, and also watched Zou Zhou follow, stopping at the gate.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Manzhu and Wan'er walked in with a smile.
"Zou Zhou, I'm here today to celebrate you being a girl again. When they got closer, Manzhu found that Zou Zhou was in a low mood. "Unhappy or has something happened?"
"Manjoo, did you see Changqing on the way here?"
"Lord Red Fox?" Manzhu glanced at Wan'er and shook her head, "Zou Zhou, we are in the opposite direction, how can we meet?
"He came to propose marriage today and was ready to pick up his relatives by the way, but I refused directly, and Changqing left without giving up. He looked up at Manjoo and knew that she was worried, "I, I didn't know it would be like this, Manju, it's okay for you to be busy with me and comfort him, because I also know that you are worried and like him." 」
Manzhu was worried that Xie Bi'an, who was about to come over, heard it, so he hurriedly pulled Zou Zhou out of the yard, asked a few more questions, and left Wan'er and a basket of fresh vegetables, fruits and meat, and turned around and left alone.
Xie Bi'an wondered why Manzhu suddenly left and let Wan'er stay here, and asked, "Where did your young lady go, so in such a hurry. 」
"Our young lady is in a hurry, and I don't know the specifics. Why don't you try this watermelon?"
Smoothly changed the topic, Wan'er walked into the kitchen with a basket, found a knife and cut the watermelon, put it on a plate and brought it out.
"Ladies and gentlemen, try it, if it's delicious, we'll bring more next time. 」
Just when he was thirsty, Xie Bi'an picked up one of the two pieces and handed it to Fan Wuxu.
While eating, Xie Bi'an's eyes rolled, remembering that Sha Hua had come before, and called Wan'er: "Has Sha Hua been looking for you recently?"
Seeing that Zou Zhou didn't eat the watermelon, she smiled deliberately and put the watermelon in front of her, and returned to reply, "We are very calm, don't say that anyone will come to see it, even the birds and beasts outside are not close. What are you talking about?"
What a clever maid.
Xie Bi'an thought in his heart, continued to smile on his face, said a casual question, turned his face to Zou Zhou and shouted, "You, don't hurt yourself secretly, this matter, Chihu himself has to look away." 」
The red fox, who was heartbroken at the moment, sent a message to all the little servants to go back with the sedan chair and the bride price, and he himself walked to a lifeless pond.
Sitting on the ground, looking up at the blue cloudless sky, tears almost wet his face.
Manzhu searched for a long time before he saw a figure by the pond, and he was overjoyed and slowly approached.
"Red Fox, what are you doing here?
Manjoo spoke cautiously, even fearing that a red fox that looked like a bird would suddenly flapp its wings and fly away.
The red fox's eyes suddenly widened, and he quickly wiped away the tears on his face, and hurriedly stood up and saw that it was Manzhu.
"Oh, I didn't do anything, I just sat down. Manju, why did you get here?"
"I'm here to find it. Manjoo shut up and thought for a moment to change her words, "I went for a walk, and I came here while walking. 」
"I see. 」
"yes, I didn't expect to see the Red Fox here, what a coincidence. 」
The red fox smiled reluctantly and pointed to the open space beside him, "Do you want Manju to sit down?"
Manju was full of joy and stepped forward to sit beside the red fox.
"Why do you think you have something on your mind, Red Fox?"
"Really?"
"yes, not only that, but it's also a little sad to watch. 」
"Hahaha, I have something on my mind, but it's embarrassing to make you look at it and feel bad. 」
"Whereever, I'm just saying, but I don't mean to blame you. There is no threshold in the world that cannot be crossed, and it is good that we think of everything by ourselves. 」
"What Manjoo said makes a lot of sense, but I really can't get better for a while. 」
Manju stared at the side of the red fox's face, never taking her eyes off.
"In that case, you can't be depressed forever, and if your father sees it, won't he be worried?"
"That's right, otherwise, where would I be sitting here? 」
"It's better to go to Yinwu Pavilion and sit down, the acre of land that was reclaimed before is now full of begonias, and it will be better to see if you are in a better mood. 」
"Thank you, I'll check it out next time." 」
"Okay then. 」
The red fox got up and patted the dust off his body, reached out and pulled Manzhu up, "Thank you for comforting me. 」
"No thanks, I didn't do anything. 」
"I should go back now, Manjoo, what about you?"
"I, I'm ......"
"Well, since you've all walked here, how about going to my house and sitting?"
