Chapter 178: The scene is embarrassing
As soon as this statement came out, the hall was full of sluggishness.
"Poofโ"
The fright caused by Qian Xun's words was too great, Gu Yunji couldn't hold back, and sprayed the tea that had just been sent to his mouth.
Gu Yunji raised his hand and wiped the water stains on the side of his mouth, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong, and looked incredulous: "What did you just say?" โ
Qian Xun has been holding back his strong thoughts for ten years, and now he finally has the opportunity to express his heart to Xu Shuhua in person.
At this moment, looking at the surprised eyes of the whole house, he not only did not feel ashamed of himself, but straightened his chest as if he was awe-inspiring, and said firmly: "I said, I want to marry Miss Xu as ......."
"Ahem, ahem!" Xu Chengyu's stiff cough sounded and interrupted Qian Xun's unfinished words.
Xu Chengyu's expression remained unchanged, pretending that nothing had happened, and changing the topic casually: "...... What, there are a few peach trees in my back garden, and the flowers have bloomed very well in the past two days, why don't we go and take a look? โ
Qian Song was also caught off guard by his son's move, and was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly echoed when he heard the words: "Yes, yes, it's late spring, and if you want to see the flowers in two days, you won't be able to see it, my favorite is the pear blossom, let's go see it now." โ
After saying that, he immediately stood up, dragged Qian Xun's clothes and walked out, his movements flustered as if fleeing the scene.
"Father!" However, Qian Xun was dissatisfied, and shook off Qian Song and took his hand, "What kind of flowers are you looking at at this time?" What's more, Mr. Xu said that the back garden was planted with peach trees, but you said that you were going to see pear blossoms, and you didn't hear it clearly! โ
Qian Xun's brain lacked a string, and he couldn't feel the weird embarrassing atmosphere in the hall at all, and when he saw that his confession was interrupted, he said a little angrily: "We are courting today, not to see the flowers, Miss Xu hasn't answered my question yet, what are you in a hurry to go?" โ
Hearing this, Xu Shuhua, who was already embarrassed, turned a little paler in an instant.
Reply? How do you want her to answer? Although she knew that the father and son of the Qian family were here to ask for marriage today, she never expected Qian Xun to be so bold and directly ask her if she would like to marry her in front of so many people in the hall.
Since ancient times, marriage has been the words of the matchmaker at the behest of the parents, even if you go to the beloved person's house to ask for marriage, you should let the matchmaker take the lead, and the parents of both parties will see and discuss with each other, rather than the parties themselves asking for marriage. If it weren't for the presence of the elders today, otherwise with Qian Xun's outrageous words and deeds, Xu Shuhua would have beaten him out of the door as a disciple.
She didn't understand how the shy and shy little boy ten years ago who didn't even dare to talk to the living people grew up and was stunned, his mind was as wide and straight as the road, and he couldn't turn a bend.
Xu Shuhua pursed his lips tightly, his little face had gradually turned from red to white, and the handkerchief in his hand was about to turn into a dead pimple. Especially when she realized that Gu Yunji was still in the hall, she suddenly became even more embarrassed, and she didn't know what to do.
The tacit thing was stabbed by his son, Qian Song had no more steps to go down, he was anxious and annoyed for a while, and he couldn't wait to cover Qian Xun's mouth: "What answer is it?" We're here to be guests today, just meet Miss Xu, what are you pestering people for? Let's go, go and see the flowers! โ
Qian Xun's eyes widened in surprise and looked at Qian Song incomprehensibly: "Father, what did you say?" The gifts we brought are still outside the door, how can they just be guests? We're here to ask for a kiss, Father! โ
When Qian Song heard this, he was embarrassed and annoyed, and he almost wanted to slap his son's unenlightened head, but everyone looked at it, and he couldn't hit him if he wanted to, so his face turned blue.
Could he not have known that they had come to court? But Xu Chengyu looked reluctant at the beginning, but he didn't say it directly because he was afraid of the faces of the two families, and if he asked again at that time, wouldn't it just give people a chance to refuse?
In this case, of course, the best choice is to keep the matter of courtship unmentioned, let Qian Xun and Xu Shu look at each other first, and it will be convenient to come back to the door in the future, leaving some room for this matter to turn around.
Qian Xun has been an obedient and sensible child since he was a child, and he has always done whatever his parents want him to do, and rarely has independent ideas. He grew up to the age of twenty-one until he finished the examination, and he revealed his heart to his father Qian Song, saying that he had admired the daughter of the Xu family for a long time, and if he could pass the examination this time, he hoped that Qian Song could take him to the Xu family to ask for relatives.
It is rare for his son to ask himself once when he is so old, not to mention that the Xu family and his own family are also a good match, Qian Song naturally has nothing to refuse, so Qian Xun just passed the Gongshi examination, so he fulfilled his promise and brought Na Caili to the Xu family to ask for marriage.
Before coming, Qian Song inquired, Xu Chengyu is such a daughter, who taught her to learn from a young age, and the pain is like an eyeball, and she will not allow anyone easily. In addition, the Xu family does not have a housewife, and it is impossible to go through the backyard to listen to the wind between the ladies and dependents, Qian Xun was worried that Xu Chengyu would not agree, so he only brought Na Caili without a matchmaker, making this courtship semi-formal and informal, so that even if it is rejected, it can leave a layer of window paper, which is not hopeless.
Qian Song did a lot of calculations, but he didn't calculate that his son, who has always been introverted and quiet, was as straight as a dumb wood in the emotional matters of men and women, and he only knew that he poured out his emotions in front of his sweetheart, and he couldn't grasp the slightest sense of proportion. In three or two sentences, he poked the window paper he worked so hard to maintain until dawn, making a room full of people embarrassed and unable to come to the stage.
In addition to Xu Chengyu and Qian Song, there are also little maidservants, as well as outsiders Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan. Qian Xun made this scene in front of so many people inside and outside, and the two families are afraid that they will be embarrassed to come and go in the future, and tomorrow Qian Song may have to go around Xu Shujing, let alone ask for a kiss or not.
Seeing that Qian Songtie's face was blue and silent, Qian Xun was anxious and urged: "Father, you speak!" We brought you a gift that you prepared seven days ago......"
"What Na Cai Li? It was a gift to Mr. Xu to celebrate the Gongshi in the examination! Qian Song was so angry that his temples jumped suddenly, for fear that Qian Xun would say something that was not easy to clean up, so he just wanted to quickly block his son's words, and shouted such a sentence casually, no matter how outrageous this was.
After yelling at his son, Qian Song took a deep breath, reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said to Xu Chengyu: "Since the good news has been delivered, then our father and son will not stay long, and we will leave." โ
After that, Qian Song didn't wait for the others to react, and forcibly dragged Qian Xun out of the door.
