CHAPTER XXXV
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked, the king of Bac Ninh never expected Luo Wenji to say such a thing, and he wanted to stop talking, but he was hindered in front of the queen mother.
The Queen Mother looked at the King of Beining in surprise, her eyes full of inquiry. The king of Bac Ninh didn't know how to answer for a while, Luo Wenji got up and rushed to say: "Marriage has always been the order of my parents, I have been alone since I was a child, I have no father or mother, and my parents' life is gone, so I can only propose to myself by myself." You are the mother of Brother Tangning, and I will propose to you. As he spoke, he took out the jade pendant he had been carrying with him from his body, handed it to the Queen Mother and said, "If you agree, this is a token of my proposal." ”
The Queen Mother was puzzled: "Brother Tang Ning?"
Luo Wenji looked at the king of Beining and said, "He is my brother Tangning." ”
The Queen Mother said to the king of Beining: "He'er, what's going on? ”
The face of the king of Bac Ninh was already flushed, and under the questioning gaze of the queen mother, he said stubbornly: "Queen Mother, when the child first met Miss Luo, he used the pseudonym Tang Ning. It's just ...... "King of Bac Ninh wanted to say that he had no intention of being with Luo Wenji, but at this time, in front of so many people, if he said such a thing, he was afraid that it would hurt Luo Wenji's face, and he couldn't say it for a while.
"Just what?" the Queen Mother asked, she was more and more confused by the words and deeds of the two.
Luo Wenji replied generously: "It's just that Brother Tangning doesn't like me, and he wants to get rid of me every time he sees me." ”
Luo Wenji's words were even more unexpected than the king of Beining, and the queen said to the king of Beining sternly: "You come!"
The king of Bac Ninh was about to speak, but Luo Wenji rushed in front of him, knelt on the ground and said to the queen mother: "If he can't say it, let me tell you! I like him and want to be with him for the rest of my life." But he didn't like me and always wanted to avoid me. I've been looking for him for years, I've searched many places, and if I can't find him, I'll keep looking for him. If I find him, I will never leave him again. ”
"This ......" The Queen Mother's face turned pale and blue for a moment, her mouth was half open, and she wanted to say something, but she didn't say a word for a long time. She was completely shocked by this bold Luo Wenji.
Luo Wenji stared at the Queen Mother's eyes tightly, waiting for her answer.
The King of Beining hurriedly said, "Miss Luo, you ...... You ......"
The Queen Mother recovered from the shock, stretched out her hand to stop the King of Bac Ninh, who was eager to justify, and said: "Since you know the words of the matchmaker of your parents, although your parents are gone, there must always be the words of the matchmaker, right? I heard that you are a Jianghu person, although the Jianghu people do not have as many rules as ordinary people, you should not let such a yellow flower girl come to say such a thing, right?"
Luo Wenji heard the meaning of responsibility in the Queen Mother's words, so she said: "The Queen Mother, what you said is right, I also wanted to do this." It's just that...... It's just that just now you said that you want to accept me as a daughter, if I agree, I will become a brother and sister with Brother Tangning, and where can I marry him again? If I don't agree, it will be your kindness, you are so good to me, closer than my relatives, where can I bear to do this? I ......" As she spoke, tears flowed out of Luo Wenji's eyes, she was already like a flower and jade, and at this time there were tears in her eyes, which was even more moving, and I saw pity, and the Queen Mother's complexion eased instantly.
As soon as the king of Bac Ninh was about to open his mouth, he was stopped by the queen mother and said, "You go out first." ”
The King of Bac Ninh hesitated, and the Queen Mother repeated: "You go out first, the mourning family has something to say to Wen Ji." ”
The king of Bac Ninh couldn't, so he had to agree to retreat, and the queen mother ordered the other palace people to retreat too, leaving Luo Wenji alone in the house.
The king of Bac Ninh waited anxiously outside for more than half an hour before he saw Luo Wenji come out. The king of Bac Ninh hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What did you say to your mother?"
Luo Wenji smiled slyly: "I can't say it!"
When the king of Beining saw that her face was relaxed, he must not have angered the queen mother. But with the queen mother's usual majesty, the king of Bac Ninh really couldn't guess what Luo Wenji said, so he could walk out with such a relaxed face. But with her character, if she doesn't want to answer, no matter who you are, you can't ask anyone.
The king of Beining had no choice but to say to Luo Wenji: "You wait for me here first!" After speaking, he walked to the queen mother's bedroom, and Luo Wenji replied with a smile behind her: "Brother Tangning, I will wait for you!"
The king of Bac Ninh walked into the palace and saw that the queen mother was drinking tea alone, and her face was very peaceful, and the king of Bac Ninh snorted: "The queen mother ......"
The Queen Mother raised her eyes and looked at the King of Beining, and said, "It's a shame that you have called yourself a 'ranger' since you were a child, and your courage is not as good as that of a little girl." There is no sense of responsibility in the words, but it is mixed with a bit of mother's doting on her son.
When the King of Bac Ninh heard that the Queen Mother did not blame herself or Luo Wenji, he relaxed and asked, "Queen Mother, what did she say to you?"
The Queen Mother said leisurely: "I said everything." ”
The king of Bac Ninh wanted to ask a few more questions, but the queen mother put down the tea bowl and said: "If it is an ordinary woman, so shameless, impatient and shameless entanglement of the son of the mourning family, the mourning family will definitely beat her out." It's just that she is different, she has saved your life several times, and she ......" Speaking of this, the Queen Mother paused and said: "You have caused the romantic lawsuit yourself, and you will solve it yourself." ”
The king of Bac Ninh was puzzled: "Queen Mother, what do you mean by this?"
The Queen Mother beckoned to the King of Bac Ninh, summoned him to the front, touched the head of the King of Bac Ninh lovingly, and said, "He'er, you are also old, you don't need to worry about these things for you." It doesn't matter if you marry this girl, or if you don't marry this girl, the mourning family will support you. ”
The king of Bac Ninh secretly wondered in his heart, he didn't know what Luo Wenji said, and let the queen mother say such things. But looking at the meaning of the Queen Mother, it seems that she is also very satisfied with Luo Wenji. The King of Bac Ninh knew that the Queen Mother had always had very strict rules, and she attached great importance to female virtue, why did she favor Luo Wenji, who had nothing to do with the word "female virtue" in her words?
The king of Bac Ninh said: "Queen Mother, the child doesn't like her. ”
The Queen Mother said leisurely: "Like it or not, I will talk about it in the future, you go back first, if she is willing to live in your house, she will be entertained well, and there must be no slack." If she does not want to live in your house, let her go. ”
The King of Bac Ninh replied suspiciously: "Yes!"
The Queen Mother waved her hand to the King of Beining again: "Go back, the mourning family is tired." ”
The king of Bac Ninh said goodbye and came out, and saw Luo Wenji with her head down and fiddling with her fingers, and shouted, "Miss Luo." ”
Luo Wenji raised her head and smiled: "Let's go back!"
Although he knew that Luo Wenji would not speak, the king of Bac Ninh still asked without giving up: "What did you tell my mother?"
Luo Wenji smiled: "If you say it, you can't say it, you just can't say it!"
