Chapter Seventy-Five: The Great Husband
As a modern person, from a relatively objective point of view, the girl in front of him, who is about seventeen or eighteen years old, can be described in many words: shrewd, sharp-tongued, decisive, and courageous......
And so on, it's all good words, it's all praise.
However, all these praises added together cannot change the fact that she is only seventeen or eighteen years old now.
Moreover, the pure temperament of her like a clear stream in the mountains also seems to show that she should be the kind of girl who has always been raised in the deep boudoir. There is knowledge, there is no lack of courage, but there is still a lack of tempering in the world.
If Zhou Ang was also a normal seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, at this moment, he saw the other party's beauty and ate the other party's words, and he couldn't say that his heart would rise all of a sudden, and he would be caught by the other party's thoughts.
It was love at first sight with each other, and they eloped hand in hand, spurned by the people of the time, and grew into enemies, but when they fell into the notes or poems of a certain literati and ink writer, it is impossible to say that hundreds of thousands of years later, it is also a heart-wrenching love legend.
However, Zhou Ang is no longer a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.
Even, unlike the vast majority of people in this era, who can only obtain knowledge, stories, rumors, etc. through limited channels, Zhou Ang has experienced the information explosion after the advent of the modern social network era, and he has seen many love stories, movies, TV series, friends' mouths, forums, post bars, and of course, screenshots in the group, chat records, and so on.
It's hard to say what other knowledge, ability, etc., but at least in this matter, the experience enrichment of a modern person with a normal IQ is really enough to kill the vast majority of people at the moment.
And Zhou Ang not only has a normal IQ, but is even a little smart.
For him, the heart is still there, but the heart is no longer equated with the impulse.
Agitation?
Elope?
I don't know if Zhou Sheng looks down on me, but if I see Zhou Sheng?
Zhou Ang restrained his smile and said seriously: "Worldly discussions?"
He pursed his lips, with a light smile on the corner of his mouth, "Then dare to ask the girl, why did you suddenly do such a drastic thing?"
This is the starting point of the whole thing, as long as the other party wants to let him "marry" her home, then this is the point that Zhou Ang will definitely care about and must ask clearly - Zhou Ang is not worried that she will not answer at all.
And sure enough, the girl seemed to have expected Zhou Ang to ask this question, she took a deep breath, and said: "My father and brother want to use me as a matchmaker and let me be a concubine with others in order to seek the future of the family, so they ran away." β
Zhou Ang pursed his lips, "In this way, the girl is not willing to make this sacrifice for the sake of the family, for her father and brother." β
The girl said without hesitation: "I am not a concubine." β
This answer is very interesting.
Zhou Ang showed a clear look, and said in his heart: That is to say, if it is simply an exchange of interests, marriage, etc., if this girl is given a considerable status and attention, instead of marrying into a concubine, which is close to humiliation, she actually has no objection.
Of course, there is no need to delve into this topic, and Zhou Ang's question is just to confirm his guess.
In fact, in Zhou Ang's opinion, or in the eyes of any outsider, this Miss Du family's reaction is really a bit excessive - of course, everyone stands in a different position, and their views are different, and outsiders naturally can't understand the resentment in this girl's heart, and in her own opinion, she may think that only by making such an aggressive move is enough to show her resistance. There's nothing wrong with that.
In fact, although he felt that her reaction was a little excessive, this was exactly what Zhou Ang appreciated her, and it was also one of the reasons why he was willing to come to Jiang's house to see her.
At this time, he thought about it and said with a smile: "I don't want to be a concubine, so I run away and seek my own marriage, which is reasonable." However...... Why me?"
The girl obviously paused slightly when she heard this, and then, with a kind of forced gaze in her original frankness, she suddenly turned away slightly, and said: "Sister Lizan, brother-in-law personally proposed marriage, which is enough to show that Zhou Sheng is my best match." I choose you...... Can't you?"
This is not untrue, but her performance in Zhou Ang's eyes is enough to show that she is actually very weak-hearted.
So, Zhou Ang smiled again and said slowly: "Since you think that it is a good match in the next place, why didn't you see the girl running away when Brother Bodao went to propose marriage but was rejected before?"
As soon as these words came out, the girl's face turned pale.
She grabbed the armrest of the chair beside her with some fierce movements, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't say anythingβit was obvious that Zhou Ang's fluttering words hit her weakest place.
However, at this moment, Zhou Ang was still smiling, with a light and breezy appearance, and said slowly: "At that time, if the girl was willing to run for me, how could I not be impressed by the girl's true feelings?
Du Shinu lowered her head, did not speak, and only grabbed the armrest of the chair fiercely with her left hand.
The bright red sunlight shone on her, and Zhou Ang could clearly see that the pair of tender white hands had completely lost their blood color because of their clenching.
There was an awkward silence in the room for a while.
At this time, the little maid who had always been invisible suddenly spoke, looking a little angry, and said: "At that time, how could my young lady know that the old man who has always loved her so much would actually ...... her"
"Shut up!"
Du didn't wait for her to finish, and suddenly opened her mouth and scolded.
And Zhou Ang laughed slowly - this girl is really a sincere person, although she was provoked by herself and had nothing to say, she tried her best to defend her young lady, but she still pierced the truth with one sentence.
Yes, if it weren't for your father who wanted to give you away as a concubine, you wouldn't have come to me Zhou Ang!
So...... Am I afraid of your father and your family, and whether I am afraid of the world's criticism?
It's a matter of backing the pot!
At this time, the girl was silent for a moment, suddenly took a deep breath, raised her head, and said calmly with a touch of sadness on her face: "Yes." It's me who doesn't mean it. β
After a pause, she looked at Zhou Ang bravely, looked at him calmly, and said, "I already understand the meaning of Zhou Sheng's words just now, and then ...... I have the intention of drowning in Zhou Sheng, but I have no contempt for him, and I hope Zhou Sheng will know about it. Whether things are harmonious or not, do not complain against me. β
Zhou Ang nodded calmly when he heard this, "Yes." β
At this time, the girl spoke again: "In this way, is Zhou Sheng willing to marry me?"
Zhou Ang shook his head calmly, "I don't want to." β
The girl lowered her head and smiled wryly.
"Although the conversation is short, the concubine knows that Zhou Sheng is a safe person, presumably before coming here to see me, Zhou Sheng has already made up his mind in his heart, in this case, why did Zhou Sheng come to see me?"
Zhou Ang pursed his lips for a moment, and then said, "There are three reasons. β
The girl raised her head, but she was a little curious, and said, "I would like to hear about it." β
Zhou Ang smiled faintly and said: "First, Brother Bodao persuaded me at the beginning, saying that you are a good girl, although the matter did not work out, but I got along with your father, some resentment, but there is no resentment with you, I heard Brother Bodao say that you ran home at night, I was surprised, but also admired your courage and courage, so I wanted to come to see you." β
"Second?"
"Second, don't hide it from the girl, Brother Bodao said that the beauty of the girl is not exempt from vulgarity, and she has a lustful heart, which is rare to see, and since the girl takes the initiative to see me today, how can I not see it? β
"I didn't expect Zhou Sheng to be honest like this. And the third?"
"Thirdly, the girl went out at night to Brother Bodao's house, and although I admire your courage and courage, I do not approve of the girl's move. It's just that there are some things that Brother Bodao is inconvenient to say, and Sister Ling is inconvenient to say, so someone needs to tell the girl a few words and a reason. So, I'm here to see you. β
"What are the words, what is the truth?"
"The girl wants to rebel against her father and brother and control her own destiny, which is admirable and respectable, but before the girl's trip, did she ever think that if you went to Brother Bodao's house to hide, what kind of situation would you put Brother Bodao and his wife?"
"In a word, a dilemma!"
Having said this, the slight blood on the Du family's girl's face that had just recovered faded in an instant - Zhou Ang could tell at a glance that this was indeed a smart girl with ice and snow. Although her life experience and life experience are really simple, as long as someone breaks it slightly, she immediately understands.
But even so, Zhou Ang continued to explain things more clearly, "Come in, send you back to the Du family and your father and brother, or send someone to report the news, won't it ruin your whole mind? Retreat, how many days can they cover you? The girl sent Brother Bo Dao to recruit me, if I agree, how can Brother Bo Dao deal with himself in front of your father and brother? If I don't agree, will the girl continue to live here until she is found by Ling Zun, or will she leave his house and go elsewhere?" And no matter where the girl goes, in the future, won't Brother Bodao have a great stake in it?"
Speaking of this in one breath, Zhou Ang finally stopped, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "These words are not good for Brother Bodao and Sister Ling to say to you. Brother Bodao is an honest and honest person, with the style of an ancient gentleman, and he has always had a very good relationship with me, I can't bear to see him in trouble, so I come to tell you. β
After a pause, he said again: "To tell you a joke, instead of coming to Brother Bodao's house like this, so that his wife and his wife are affected because of your thoughts, the girl might as well go directly to my house from the beginning. Anyway, I'm not afraid of your father and brother. β
This remark can be just a joke in modern society, of course, but in the current era, praising the "bright color" of a woman from a good family who has not come out of the cabinet, saying that she wants to "ignore it", in fact, it is close to teasing.
But at this time, when the Du girl heard this, she was not angry, but smiled.
Her eyes were staring intently at Zhou Ang.
The red sun was in the east, Zhou Ang was standing at the door of the west wing, but he couldn't see his face clearly, but his whole person was shrouded in the sun, standing in the perspective of a girl at the moment, looking at the sun, but she only felt that Zhou Ang's figure was indescribably tall and handsome, and she couldn't help but look a little stupid for a while.
At this moment, the words were finished, regardless of whether the joke was suitable or not, it had all been opened, Zhou Ang noticed that the other party was speechless for a long time, and when he looked at it carefully, he found that her eyes seemed to be a little wrong, so he called her softly, "Girl?"
"Huh?"
The girl immediately came back to her senses, but she immediately lowered her head, and only raised her head after a while, still staring at Zhou Ang intently, and said, "Zhou Lang's meaning, the concubine already knows everything." This time, it was the concubine who thought she was extraordinary, but in fact she was not thoughtful, she was really a little Meng Lang, not Zhou Lang was vigilant, and she almost affected her sister and brother-in-law. β
Zhou Ang smiled when he heard this, suddenly raised his hand, arched his hand at the girl of the Du family, and without speaking, he turned around in place and walked out of the west wing.
In fact, ever since he pushed open the door and stepped in, he had only stood in the doorway and talked to the girl. And the door was wide open, more than one maid was standing between the two, and Jiang Bodao's wife was standing in the courtyard, and she could hear the conversation between the two clearly.
When Zhou Ang turned around, he even saw that Jiang Yun and Jiang Bodao were already standing with his wife, obviously, he should have heard the conversation between the two of them in the back.
Zhou Ang stepped over, and saw that both of them had some gratitude on their faces, so they couldn't help but smile, arched their hands, and said: "Brother Bodao, Mrs. Sister-in-law, seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, I am busy and free, so I have to go and buy some things to prepare for the festival gift, so I will leave first." He smiled again: "Brother Bodao, I have to move around more in the future." β
Jiang Bodao is an honest man, at this time he was grateful and ashamed, grabbed Zhou Ang's arm, and couldn't speak-Zhou Ang grabbed his hand with a smile, pulled it up, and then let go, and with a smile, he couldn't say it freely, and said, "Let's go!"
But at this time, someone suddenly came behind him: "If my father rejected Zhou Lang's proposal that day, I would have run to Zhou Lang's house, would Zhou Lang really be willing to take him in?"
Zhou Ang turned around and saw that the girl was standing at the door of the west wing, holding the door frame with her hand, looking at herself intently, so he smiled and said, "Of course!"
With that, he arched his hand again, and then turned to himself.
Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses and said, "Let's go slowly, I'll order a car to send you!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, his feet hadn't moved, but on the side of the west wing, the Du woman had already spoken: "Brother-in-law, you better send me home first!"
For a while, the couple were stunned for a moment, and then they were overjoyed.
"Good!
The Jiang family and his wife were excited for a while, and they didn't care if it was good to let Zhou Ang walk back by himself, so they agreed to come down. Jiang Yun even said: "I will drive the car myself, and I will never let others know!"
............
Not long after, the carriage left Jiang's mansion.
Jiang Bodao really drove the carriage himself, and in the carriage sat his wife and Miss Du's master and servant.
However, since getting into the car, the Miss Du family has been in a daze, the chariot is Ma Xiao, and it seems that she has walked out for a short distance, and she is already in the city, speaking of Du Mansion, it may be a moment, Jiang Yun's wife saw her cousin's distraction, and finally couldn't help but reach out and push her, "Little sister, what do you want?" Do we have to talk to each other first, so as not to go back and say something wrong?"
Miss Du was woken up by her, but she smiled and said, "It's okay, my sister only said that I went out to your house at night, and I wanted to run away from home and be a sister-in-law. β
This statement is naturally the least responsible for Jiang Yun and his wife, but Jiang Yun's wife was only stunned for a moment when she heard this, still looking worried, and said: "Your brother-in-law and I, although we are afraid of your father, we will not be able to afford the slightest bit of involvement, the key is ...... What are you going to do next?"
When she said this, she was worried about her cousin from the bottom of her heart, and thought that her sister must be as worried as herself, but to her surprise, Miss Du only smiled faintly when she heard this, and said calmly: "What can I do? If my father and brother are strictly persecuted, I would rather die than do it!"
Jiang Yun's wife opened her mouth when she heard this, but in the end she could only sigh.
In this era, the words of the matchmaker who pay attention to the orders of the parents, and the things set by the parents, outsiders discuss a few words in private, which is the limit of support, but there is no possibility to interfere at all.
Although Jiang Dushi was also born in the Du family, firstly, she was a married daughter, and her husband's family did not have any power that made her mother's family jealous, and she did not speak hard, and secondly, she was only a cousin, so naturally there was no possibility of interference.
At this time, the word "love can not help" is the most appropriate description.
But at this time, listening to her cousin's sigh, Miss Du smiled again, and said very easily: "Sister, don't worry." If it is said that the little sister lived a muddy life before, and when things were unsatisfactory, it was just a matter of thinking of running away to others, and she was forced to die against the sky, but at this time, it was different from that time. β
Jiang Dushi looked at her in amazement.
As the carriage swayed, she smiled indescribably brightly and indescribably calm.
"I'm not going to die. I didn't want to die. β
Jiang Dushi was speechless.
At this time, Miss Du sighed slightly, with an indescribable look of satisfaction, and said: "I just didn't want to be a concubine with someone before, but in fact, I didn't know at all, if I didn't want to be a concubine with someone, who should I marry? β
"But now, I am also fortunate to meet such a great husband in my life, whose words and deeds are like the light of the Buddha, like a thunderbolt, so that I suddenly feel a light in front of me. β
Jiang Dushi understood what this meant, and finally couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise.
"You mean, Zhou...... Zhou Zixiu?"
At this time, Miss Nadu's personal maid couldn't help but look at her own young lady in surprise.
In her opinion, her own young lady was firmly reprimanded and humiliated by that Zhou Sheng just now, but at this time, listening to her own young lady's meaning, she actually had a good impression of him?
At this time, Miss Du smiled and met her cousin's gaze, and said frankly and resolutely: "I swear to marry Zhou Lang in this life!
