Chapter 314: Love Turns into Hate
During the Lantern Festival, Zhou Wenjun asked Begonia to go to see the lanterns together. The four girls were together again.
Although the lanterns were beautiful and the market was bustling, they had only been shopping for less than half an hour before they found a teahouse and sat down, where they ate tea and warmed themselves while discussing what had happened in the city recently.
Zhou Wenjun told Haitang that after hearing the news of Tang Hui's illness, she had gone to Tang's house with Mrs. Tuesday to visit her.
Zhou Wenjun used to hate Tang Hui very much, but seeing her haggard and sick face, he couldn't bear to say anything more, so he could only try to say some comforting words, but Tang Hui was very embarrassed and ashamed. She had already heard from Mrs. Tuesday that on the day she made an appointment to meet Jin Shan, Zhou Wenjun and her sisters and friends happened to bump into her, and Mrs. Thursday and Mrs. Chengen Hou Shizi also listened to the audience in the private room next door. They didn't take the initiative to mention it to anyone, all for the sake of her reputation. But they are so considerate, which makes Tang Hui even more embarrassed.
Zhou Wenjun could only let her relax, everyone knew the inside story, and they all knew that she was calculated, and she would not really misunderstand her character, so let her not worry too much about the future.
It wasn't Zhou Wenjun who coaxed Tang Hui. She had already heard what they heard in the private room next door from Zhou Xuejun, who accompanied Mrs. Thursday on the trip, and knew that Tang Hui did not say anything out of line in front of Jin Shan, but was coaxed by Jin Shan, and was frightened by Mrs. Jin's words and deeds, so she couldn't react in time, and defended herself clearly on the spot, so she was pulled away by her stepmother.
After Mrs. Thursday and Mrs. Cheng'en Hou Shizi explained clearly to the concubines, the young ladies of the Zhou family all sympathized with Tang Hui. Although it is impossible for them to marry Tang Hui for their son, they will not mistake her for a girl with bad character. Everyone talked about it in private, and they all felt that she was pitiful, and they even called the Jin family to target her. Even the Zhou family, who had said good things about Jin Shan in front of Peng Yuqi before, no longer thinks that he is an ideal marriage partner.
Zhou Wenjun told Tang Hui these things, just to comfort her, and now everyone says that Jin Shan wants to climb high branches, the Jin family is not kind, and there are very few people who think that Tang Hui's fault is greater. It can be seen that her situation has not reached the level of despair!
Not to mention that she and Jin Shan have not yet made a marriage contract, even if it is really decided, it is not impossible to withdraw from the marriage. With Jin Shan's talent, he may not have the ability to show off his talents in the examination, let alone lift people. He has always been only known for his poetry, and he is used to writing some works of beauty and snow, but who has heard of what he has done seriously?
As long as Jin Shan fails to pass the exam, the two will not officially make a marriage contract. As long as Jin Shan fails to pass the exam, even if the two have a marriage contract, they will not get married. If Tang Hui is not in a hurry to get married, there will be a chance to get rid of the Jin family in the future, and it is too early to despair now.
Maybe the Tang family is relenting now, and it is just an expedient measure, in order to stabilize the Jin family, so that they think that the marriage is promising, and they will no longer talk nonsense outside and ruin Tang Hui's reputation. This year's college exam will have to wait a few more months to be held, such a long time is enough for the Tang family to come up with a way to deal with it, right? It's really not possible, it's a big deal to let Tang Hui pretend to be sick, use the excuse of recuperation, or pray for the elders, etc., don't discuss relatives for the time being, and drag the time until the Jin family takes the initiative to give up. As long as Tang Hui is not afraid to consume with them, she will only win in the end.
As for the time it took for a long time, Tang Hui's marriage was blocked, and she was dragged into an old girl, what will she do with her future marriage...... Zhou Wenjun felt that this matter was also easy to do, because the Northwest Frontier Army never lacked excellent generals who married late, and the Tang family could choose suitable people from among them, and Tang Hui would never fail to marry.
Tang Hui was originally in a wilted spirit, while listening to Zhou Wenjun's chatter, she lowered her head and cried silently, listening and listening, the tears stopped at some point, and her eyes widened, as if she saw what kind of magical animal Zhou Wenjun had become.
Zhou Wenjun couldn't stand her eyes at that time, so he said angrily: "What kind of eyes are you?!" Even if I think my idea is unreliable, I'm thinking about it, okay?! ”
Tang Hui shook her head violently: "No, no, no, I ...... I think you're all very good at it...... Better than the people around me. Did you help me think of this? ”
Zhou Wenjun said honestly: "It was me, Yijun and Yuqi who came up with it, and the sister of the Hai family also helped with a lot of ideas." In fact, there are more radical methods they came up with, but it's just not good to mention them directly to Tang Hui. Those methods are too ruthless, she doesn't know how the sister of the Hai family came up with it, but Haitang said that it was something that happened in the high-ranking family in the capital, and she felt that it was not surprising, it must have been Mr. Xie Wenzai who told Haitang.
Tang Hui was moved after listening to her words: "I offended you for no reason that day, I didn't expect you to think so much for me...... I used to mistake myself, and I didn't know that I had eyes without pearls, and I mistook the eyes of a fish for pearls, and I regarded pearls for a fish......
Zhou Wenjun was a little happy when he heard this, but he didn't mention it: "You and I are not familiar with each other, and it is common to have misunderstandings." ”
Tang Hui shook her head and sat up straight: "Thank you for thinking about it, and please thank Sister Yijun and Miss Peng and Miss Hai for me." The family has actually thought of a way to deal with it, as you said, they promised the Jin family, it was just an expedient measure, and they didn't plan to really marry me. ”
Zhou Wenjun was surprised: "Then how do you ...... Looking frustrated and hopeless? Do you actually want to marry Kim Sun in your heart?! ”
Tang Hui shook her head with tears: "I am indeed very depressed...... It's not because you can't marry Jin Gongzi. I used to really think he was good, but yesterday ...... When I was sick, he sent to see me and told me not to be angry with him. He said he didn't know his mother would take someone to the teahouse. He thought it was just an ordinary meeting, but it wasn't easy for outsiders to know. He was equally surprised when his family spread the news. But the Jin family hopes that he can marry me and live a prosperous and stable life in the future, which is all for his good, and he has no way to refuse the kindness of his relatives, so he has to remain silent...... He said he knew I must have suffered a lot, but he would be good to me in the future......"
Tang Hui took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and said, "Since he knows everything, why doesn't he stop his family?!" Since his family is all for his sake, is it so difficult for him to say a word for me?! Say something that will be good for me in the future...... If I can act willfully, why should I study hard all these years?! He didn't know what kind of life I was living, he didn't know what I wanted, and he just fluttered like that...... Said it would be good for me. But I asked his people to talk to him, so that he would never see those green jade and red jade again, but he refused to agree...... That's what he thinks 'will be good for me'! ”
Zhou Wenjun looked at the look of hatred on Tang Hui's face, and was speechless for a while.
Now in the private room of the teahouse, Zhou Wenjun recalled the situation at that time, and couldn't help but say to Zhou Yijun, Peng Yuqi and Haitang: "I see that Tang Hui is kind to Jin Shan in her heart, and I am afraid that it will become hatred because of love." She never gave up the idea of marrying a family member. The husband of a wealthy family can bring benefits to the Tang family, and she can tolerate his affection. But Jin Shan is useless to the Tang family, so there must be benefits that others don't have. If Tang Hui wants to give up her wealth and glory and make a gap with her family, Jin Shan must at least be single-minded and have the same color in her life, otherwise what does she want from him?
But now that the marriage has not been decided, Jin Shan refuses to coax her even a good word, how can he be wholeheartedly devoted to her in the future? Tang Hui hated him for being insincere and sincere, but he wanted to destroy himself. No matter what the Tang family does to Jin Shan, she probably won't stop it. ”
Haitang couldn't help but be taken aback: "Is the Tang family going to do anything to Jin Shan?" ”
"It's hard to say." Zhou Wenjun said, "I see that the grandmothers around Tang Hui don't look like good people, God knows what they will do?" ”
