Chapter 252: An Unexpected Marriage Proposal

Pearl went to find the clear space, the old monk listened to the pearl as it was, and said to the pearl, "Bai Juyi visited the Zen master of the bird cave Daolin, and came to the place where the Zen master lived, only to see that there was an ancient forest with lush branches like a cover, and the residence of the Zen master was like a bird on the tree, Bai Juyi said to the Zen master, 'It is really dangerous for you to live in the tree'

But the Zen master said, 'The place where you live is more dangerous than mine'

Bai Juyi was puzzled and asked, 'The place where the disciple lives is in Zhenjiang Mountain, what is the danger?' ’

The Zen master replied, 'Isn't it dangerous for your mind to be turned around like a firewood on a fire, and to make yourself restless?' ’

This is exactly what the Zen scholars call 'Ten Thousand Laws Created by Idealism'"

After telling this story, the master of the clear space said to the pearl again, you have such an experience, there must be a reason, everything is fate, and from the moment you know the donor, until now, I feel that you have been troubled by two words, looking hard, and covering up in every way. ”

Pearl asked, "What two words?" ”

"Persistence!"

Pearl felt her heart pound for a moment, yes! Aren't you a very, extremely persistent idiot? has lived a lifetime again, and is still entangled in the question of whether Ming Qian loves himself or not. In fact, some things, some questions, will never be answered, and there are some questions that the answers to are half red and half black. Some simply don't have answers. Ming Qian's choice must have been carefully weighed by him. And no matter what she does, it can't be undone, and if she really does it, it will be like sending her heart to hell. Survival instinct, or let him go. Learn to go with the flow of your feelings!

People live to be busy for food and clothing, for their own hobbies, interests, or for their own health and contact with other people, Pearl is very busy now, unlike others, she is busy accumulating power, she wants to control, she wants to understand, she doesn't want to be regarded as blind, stupid, and despised. She's going to have to stand taller than they all do.

So. During this time, Pearl was preparing plans to train the children and those guards and secret guards, especially the dark guards, to hide themselves. You have to be capable. To be able to survive in a special environment. It is also necessary to be careful and patient. For those children who are preparing for the exam, the pearl is sweet dates and sticks, and the test is good. Eat well, live well, and give them a reward of silver, so that they can give back to their families. If you don't get good grades, you will face a complicated situation. This is considered frustration education, only hard work will get better.

"Miss, someone from home is here, please go back quickly." Liu Zilai reported,

"Did you say anything|?" Pearl tidied up her hair and walked out, and by the way, she asked the girl to bring her recent books and materials, she hasn't finished it yet!

"I didn't say it, but I was in a hurry, and I said that it was an adult who asked you to go back quickly."

Pearl frowned, she didn't do business either, but she bought a lot of good ingredients in the capital last time, so it wouldn't attract anyone's attention, right? Could it be the Bai family or the Ming family? Thinking of this, hurry to the stable. The three girls around him immediately followed, and the group arrived home in less than an hour.

At the gate of Liu's house, there are two somewhat gorgeous carriages parked, looking like this, it is definitely not from Zhuozhou, it should be from the provincial capital or even the capital. Pearl got off the horse, threw the horse directly to the girl, and then entered the hall, in the hall, the old man Liu sat on the main seat, his parents sat on the left side, and two middle women sat on the right side, dressed very festively, and smiled very kindly. You don't have to guess too much to know that these two guys are matchmakers.

Pearl felt that she should get a powerful weapon, which could scare people out of the spot, and if it was in modern times, it would be nice to take out a pistol and make sure it worked. Pearl was still a little gasping, and she was too anxious on the road, and one of the ladies dressed in jujube red embroidered flowers of the four seasons walked up to Pearl and saluted, saying,

"Say hello to Miss Liu, we are here to say goodbye to the girl."

"Say it! Who is it? Now Pearl is waiting for the other party to say who it is, and then carrying a whip, going to the other party's house, a good lesson, just being withdrawn, and coming to the door to propose, isn't this a joke? Humiliate her?

Seeing that Pearl's anger was too obvious, the other stood up, saluted in front of Pearl, and said, "We were commissioned by Governor Qin Hui to come to the matchmaker. Please think about it. You have also seen it in my family, when he was 14 years old, he won the champion, and at the age of 20, he has been a saint. Although I used the kid as a matchmaker for Mingqian last time, I really felt that the talented and beautiful woman was a good marriage, but Mingqian didn't know the treasures, and my family was very sorry, although I felt that Miss Liu was too big, but I still tried my best, please Miss Liu think about it. ”

The Fang clan spoke at this time, "Doesn't Lord Qin of your family have a wife?" ”

"My family was alone five years ago, and the original wife died of illness, leaving behind a daughter who was just five years old, who has been raised by an old lady in the capital."

Fang Clan asked again, "Why haven't you adults looked for it again for so many years?" ”

The first woman finally spoke, "At that time, the young lady was too young, and the adults were too busy, and many reasons were all gathered together, so I am still alone. ”

"Don't you have an aunt?" Fang's concern is this,

"There are three aunts, all of whom were given by the old lady, all in the capital, and they didn't come with them. My family also has two sons, the eldest son is nineteen this year, just passed the Jinshi, and is now in the Hanlin Academy, and the second son has just won the lifting this year and is preparing for the exam in two years. Both sons are married, but they have not yet married. ”

It is already very clear that when someone's steproom, although it is the governor's steproom, it is also the steproom, and he is a little unwilling in his heart, but looking at Liu Tonghammer and Fang's eagerness, Pearl hesitated a little, did not refuse directly, and said to the two women, "I will think about this matter carefully." If there is a result, I will send you a message. ”

"Yes, Miss Liu, then we will retire." Saluted Old Man Liu and Liu Tonghammer and his wife, and then left.

Old Man Liu looked at the pearl. said, "Lord Qin has done his best in doing this, although he is the matchmaker, but he pays the price of the lady of the main room as compensation, which is good." Lord Qin is the governor! Second-rank official, you will be the second-rank lady in the future. Besides, Qin Da only became a governor at the age of thirty-six, and he may be the prime minister in the future! Pearls! What else do you want? Besides, you should also think about your younger brothers and sisters! ”

Pearl didn't speak. Turned around and left. She swayed back to her room, weighing the pros and cons of the affair in her heart. Lord Qin still has a fate with her, and when she danced, she had no scruples. I didn't see what happened to him. Afterwards, I didn't ask the old monk about her. After getting to know each other, he accepted himself to Ming Qian, the student he admired the most afterwards at Egret Academy. Now he dances by himself and is dismissed. The family affairs in the future will definitely be affected, and it seems that only Qin Hui can protect her.

How could this Qin Hui pearl not investigate? His father was a veteran of the Three Dynasties and served as the head of the cabinet. After dying of illness, Qin Hui was in the south to control the water, and was robbed of love by the emperor, and then he was promoted step by step. Now in the imperial court, the current chief assistant of the current dynasty is Xu Baojing, Gao Wenbin, etc., and they are followed by Song Lian, a cabinet scholar, and He Zhen, the secretary of the military department, who are fighting in two aspects, and Qin Hui is on Xu Baojing's side. In his previous life, before his death, Qin Hui was already the first assistant of the cabinet, and with a panoramic view of the government and the opposition, Ming Qian was his student and a capable general. She still remembered that she heard that this Lord Qin was not greedy for money, not lustful, and seemed to have no shortcomings except for his unparalleled strength, and he was a handsome uncle.

Back then, she also visited Qin Hui's wife at that time as Mrs. Mingqian, and she felt that she was not very old, and she was very boring after being famous. She can only be said to be not ugly, and she is dressed decently, I heard that Lord Qin and her respect each other, but unfortunately she has no children of her own.

Thinking about the marriage of Jade who was disturbed by her own impulsiveness, thinking about the future future of her younger brothers, she and her grandfather finally raised the status of their family, but because of their willfulness, they chose to dance to change a person's mind, which is too frivolous, this is her mistake, and she must make up for it. Besides, he saved Qin Hui, he will never be bad to himself, besides, with his appearance and unremitting efforts, I believe that he will be able to successfully manage a marriage, this time, to be someone's stepmother, find a man who is nineteen years older than himself, a super strong future minister, assist the young emperor to become a generation of famous monarchs and also retreat, and let his eldest son succeed the first assistant, her daughter becomes the queen, although she is not favored and has no children, but after all, it is good.

In that case, let's agree! After Pearl made up her mind, she began to lie in bed, thinking that she was remarried! It's more complicated, first, I don't know how to get along with a husband who can see through you at a glance. Second, the shortcomings of his own body, reborn once, he is too proud, ordinary men don't look at it, of course, even including Ming Qian, this is very bad, in this era, if you marry highly, and do what you want like like this, it would be too stupid, to be low-key, to be submissive, this is what Pearl thought of after repeatedly thinking about the situation she will face. Also, you must find a way to get your husband's favor, otherwise it will not be good for your mother's family. Maybe she doesn't even have a son, she has been a mother, she has been a mother of seven children, she thinks that the children are going crazy, and she must have a child. For this purpose, you must work hard to observe Qin Hui's preferences, make him like and even fall in love with yourself, and you must keep your distance from the Ming family.

But there is another point, pearls are used to a good life, beautiful clothes and jewelry are her favorite, happy when she sees gold and silver, excited when she sees pearls and jade, if with the current strength of their family, when they get married, what can they have? Looks like we'll have to figure it out. How to get the goods out of the space and sell them openly to make money. She thinks the most suitable is those extremely exquisite gold, silver and copper lighters, also equipped with flintstones, the other is the mirror, now only in the palace there are mercury mirrors, when the mirror was so popular, or their own credit!

On the same day, he sent a telegram to Liu Xuan on Zhuangzi to make a plan, and then, the next day, Pearl said that he wanted to take a look at the Zhuozhou wharf, who said that there were new cargo ships and Westerners who had come recently! After that, Pearl took Liu Zi and sold ten boxes of lighters from a foreigner for nine thousand taels of silver. I kept a hundred of the best-looking ones, and I also bought a few mercury mirrors that I put on the table and folding mirrors that I could put in my purse, and the patterns on them were very beautiful. It cost a total of 9,000 taels, and when he passed by Shopkeeper Liu's shop, he took a few pearls for him to evaluate, and as a result, Shopkeeper Liu saw pearls and bought all the things for 115,320 taels. Pearl took the silver ticket and went to the dock again, and took over some people who sold ginseng, bird's nest, cordyceps and other tonic medicinal materials, and bought a lot. Stayed at the inn that day. The second time I went, I bought some jadeite rough stones, this time I really met Zhao Qingyu again, the pearl did not come forward, but let the girl buy it, it was Liu Shopkeeper who introduced Zhao Qingyu to himself, and then made a fortune because of jadeite. This time there is no middleman, and the stones are different, but the original stones such as tongkat ali and glass species, ice species and violet, and dragon stone species brought have not changed, but they are not the original ones.
