82. Refusal
"Miss Huo," the two were alone in the front yard of Huo's mansion. Jiang Huai was the first to speak: "Can you listen to me say a few words?" ”
Huo Ying nodded: "It's okay." ”
"It's not a secret," Jiang Huai thought he wouldn't be able to speak, but he didn't think about it, looking at Huo Ying's clear and somewhat hidden shy eyes, he only felt that an impulse suddenly sprouted: "I like Miss Huo." ”
Huo Ying's eyes widened, and her heart seemed to be empty. Some couldn't believe what they were hearing. There was a rare blankness in her eyes.
Jiang Huaigang said, what?
Speaking of which, Jiang Huai was originally a little nervous. After all, he wasn't sure. If Huo Ying didn't intend to be with him...... Just thinking about it, I feel very stuffy.
However, seeing her ignorant appearance, Jiang Huai relaxed a little. He only felt that such a Huo Ying seemed very ...... Lovely. Jiang Huai's face couldn't help but smile: "What I say is from the bottom of my heart, if Miss Huo doesn't believe it, I'll say it again: Miss Huo, I like you." ”
"Jiang Shizi......" Huo Ying's tone was a little difficult when he spoke: "You just said ......"
"My heart pleases you." The more Jiang Huai spoke, the more natural it became, and he said without hesitation: "This time I came to propose marriage, because it is true that I am responsible for you for the previous things, and it is also true that I like you." ”
had already started talking, Jiang Huai simply didn't care about it and said it all: "I have long been interested in you, Miss Huo, I only hate myself for being dull, and I only found out my mind last time." I just hope Miss Huo, don't blame me for coming late. ”
blamed him for coming late, which naturally meant that Huo Ying already had a place in his heart.
Huo Ying's mind went blank. She opened and closed her mouth, still not knowing what to do.
"I," finally made a voice, and as soon as Huo Ying spoke, her voice was a little choked: "Huo Ying has never had the luxury of hoping to win Jiang Shizi's favor." ”
Once had a crush, I thought it would end without a problem. I never thought that one day the person I liked would stand in front of her and say to her: I am pleased with you.
When she heard Jiang Huai say this, Huo Ying's first reaction was not joy, but sadness and grievance. It is like a traveler who has been alone for a long time, and suddenly sees the lights in front of him; It was like a wine jar that had been sealed for a long time, and at first glance it saw the light of day, and all the sourness and bitterness came out.
Looking at Huo Ying's expression, Jiang Huai still didn't understand. He tentatively stretched out his hand and carefully took the person into his arms. Seeing that Huo Ying did not refuse, he was even more sure of his thoughts.
With the warm fragrant nephrite in his arms, Jiang Huai gently closed his eyes. Thankfully, it's not too late.
When separated, both were a little shy. It's just that Jiang Huai is better in the end. He cheekily asked, "Then are you willing to agree to marry me?" ”
When it comes to robbing a daughter-in-law, where can you take care of being reserved or not?
He wanted to take his time, but Jiang Huai had heard that since that hunt, Huo Yuanzheng had rejected many family proposals. Before he came, he had heard that there were many matchmakers who were ready to move.
"I ......" the general man to propose, are asked by the parents implicitly ask the woman, if the woman is willing, just shy to answer: but the parents are in charge. At this time, Jiang Huai asked her directly, Huo Ying was not mentally prepared, and she was really a little speechless for a while.
Looking at Jiang Huai's sparkling eyes full of expectations, Huo Ying almost blurted out: "I do." It's just that reason restrained her behavior.
If it was a few days earlier, Huo Ying would have agreed without hesitation. But now, she is destined not to live a stable life like an ordinary girl's family.
The joy that came up after realizing it had not had time to spread to every part of the body, and it was suppressed by the heaviness that came out immediately afterwards. Huo Ying's somewhat fluttering mind immediately regained her senses.
"Jiang Shizi," Huo Ying raised her head and looked at Jiang Huai: "I have entered the military camp and am a soldier of Dayu." If there is a war on the border in the future, I will not hesitate to choose the battlefield. I can't live a safe life with you like other girls. Even, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and life and death are fateful. I can't guarantee that I'll come back alive. ”
If she marries her beloved before the emperor's order, she is naturally willing. But now, with her long-term wish in front of her, Huo Ying knows very well that she will not and is unwilling to give up.
Moreover, Jiang Huai is the only concubine of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, and his heirs are particularly important. Huo Ying wasn't sure if she would be able to carry on the family for him.
Thinking of Xuanping Hou's backyard, Huo Ying's heart completely calmed down. Jiang Xu is just a little more romantic, and compared with others in his generation, he can even be called a leader. However, it has never been a secret that the concubines of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion are older than the concubines.
It is said that this situation occurred because the Chen family was not in good health in the early years and was not suitable for childbirth, and Jiang Xu was the only son of the old marquis.
Thinking that he is not suitable for pregnancy all year round, Jiang Huai may also take a concubine first to continue the incense. Huo Ying only felt like falling into an ice cellar.
Therefore, she must explain the situation to Jiang Huai. She didn't want to delay Jiang Huai.
"This matter ......" Hearing such words at first glance, Jiang Huai's head was still a little wooden. He pondered cautiously for a moment before replying, "I have also discussed this matter with my father and mother. ”
As for the results...... They naturally hope that after getting married, Huo Ying can give birth to an heir for him as soon as possible. Although Jiang Huai doesn't care, he still faintly hopes that everything can develop according to this.
Just now...... Huo Ying almost showed that before she became famous, she would not give in to her husband and children. What she asks for, not even for fame, not for profit. She also wants to be truly like a man, killing enemies and serving the country.
The first time he heard a woman say such a remark, Jiang Huai didn't know how to deal with it for a while. He didn't agree, but said solemnly: "In this case, I will discuss this matter with my father and mother after I return home." I will definitely get back to you as soon as possible. ”
Jiang Huai didn't have much obsession with his heirs, but he had long felt that he wanted to continue the bloodline for the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. Like Huo Ying, he really can't agree easily.
"Okay." Huo Ying nodded and smiled apologetically at him. Jiang Huaida can agree at will, after all, when Huo Ying marries, he will naturally be able to slowly figure it out. But he didn't.
Huo Ying thought to herself, it seems that she doesn't like the wrong person.
When Jiang Huai and Jiang Xu left Lang Zhongling's Mansion, Huo Ying watched quietly behind them. The moment Jiang Huai turned around, looking at Jiang Huai's back, she thought, maybe, that's the end of it, right?
It's good. I don't have the luxury of expecting to really marry the person I like. When she chose that path without hesitation, becoming a biological child has become a dream that is difficult for her to realize.
It's just that when she turned around, Huo Ying only felt that her eyes were a little moist. Maybe the weather is getting colder. She thought silently. The autumn wind is so bleak that it makes people's eyes freeze wet.
What she didn't know was that at that moment, Jiang Huai just turned around and looked at her back for a long time.
