Chapter 206 I wish you will have a lover and never get along with each other
After venting silence for a while, his heart became much brighter. Seeing that his expression returned to normal, Chen He asked carefully: "Son, I'll ask you what your plan is?"
Silent smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, I really have no requirements for marriage. As long as I look a little nicer, kind-hearted, and tolerant, it is better to be stupider. It doesn't matter who she is."
"There is no requirement yet?" Chen He chuckled: "Actually, to be fair, Miss Lu is a good match for her."
"The problem now is not Miss Donkey or Miss Horse, but I have already…" Silence is rare and difficult to say.
Chen He saw at a glance that his current performance was exactly the same as his more than half a year ago, and he couldn't help but shout: "Can you have made a private decision for your life?"
Silent said with a embarrassed look: "It can't be considered... I can only say that I have made a promise."
"Which girl from?" Chen He was more interested in this.
It was now, and there was no need to keep silent anymore. So he hid some things between himself and Miss Yin and told him briefly to his father. The old man's eyes were rounded and he couldn't wait to ask, "Where have you two gone? Are you already inseparable?"
"Dad... where do you want to go?" Chen Si smiled bitterly and said, "Apart from that time, I and her had never even said anything, but..." He couldn't help but sigh and said, "But who made me stand up?"
Chen He laughed and scolded, "Look, you're wronged! In the city of Shaoxing, the lady Yin's family is as beautiful as a fairy, but she also managed the huge family business with a woman," she said with admiration, "What's even more rare is that she has a Bodhisattva heart... Let's talk about the incident when Baotongyuan was in trouble. Nearly 200 people in the bed died, and she actually paid 2,000 taels of silver alone, which is 400,000 taels of silver."
"400,000 taels, the annual tax in our Shaoxing Mansion is only 800,000 taels, and she will take out half of it. Even if the Yin family has a big business, there is not so much cash. Miss Yin finally sold more than a dozen land stores at a loss to raise the money." Chen He sighed and said, "I know how difficult the business is now. Besides, it was caused by the Japanese/pirates that time, and no one asked their family for the money, but Miss Yin gritted her teeth and compensated everyone... This is not fake benevolence, but real benevolence and righteousness!"
The old man finally concluded: "If there was such a daughter-in-law, the father's face would be too bright." After thinking about it, he gave Chen a intuitive comparison: "It's more bright than the county magistrate."
"I didn't expect you to be quite satisfied with Dad," Chen Si smiled bitterly, "But you have done things like this, how can we deal with it?"
"Since it's Miss Yin, I'll give up my old face, and I have to save this game." Chen He slapped the table and said proudly: "Anyway, I'm missing three books and three rituals, so we won't just play with them!"
"How can it be that simple? People have already created power. People in Shaoxing think that our Shen family is begging others. Now, unless the Lu family itself does not agree, we really can't repent." If they repent, it will become a joke in the eyes of others. I am afraid that no one will marry his daughter to his family.
To put it further, silence is now considered a person in the officialdom, so the reputation of the Shilin people becomes extremely important. If you fall into the reputation of "absurdity", "frivolity", and "no faith" and "will be trustworthy"? How can you live in the future?
Chen He said furiously: "Who wants to get married first? I will ask them to explain clearly!"
"Let's forget it." Chen Si said with a bitter face: "Now we are falling into our crotch, and we can't explain it at all."
These two men are already in a difficult situation...
On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Si was worried at home, and then heard a mess outside, followed by the low voices of his personal soldiers: "This girl, you can't go in."
"If I don't go in, then ask your elders to come out!" Hearing the angry voice, he couldn't help but whisper: 'Draw the screen!' and wanted to turn it out from the back window. He made half of his movements, but stopped and said: "I'm sorry for me. If I run away, I'll be too useless."
He secretly encouraged himself, and Chen Si finally raised his voice and said, "Let her come in, you all stay away."
The personal soldiers heard a strange response from outside. After a while, the curtain was lifted, and the girl with an angry look on her face appeared in front of Shen Mo.
After not seeing her for half a year, she has become thinner and more feminine.
After only looking at Chen Si, Hua Ping quickly lowered his head, and his tone of questioning changed: "Do you... really want to marry Miss Lu?"
Silent but said softly: "You have lost weight..."
A word made the screen turn red and his red lips tremble slightly. There was a lot of words in his heart that wanted to say to him, but when he said it, it turned into a sentence: "Where are you going to put my lady?" It was obvious that Miss Yin had already told this close friend about the day.
Chen Silently said softly: "You shouldn't ask this..."
"Who will I ask?" Huaping suddenly became angry, and Xingxing stared at silently with wide eyes, "You, you... you abandoned all the time, you are not a good person, are you trying to force my lady to death?!" As he said that, he criticized him: "Do you know why my lady is trying to sell her money and pay all the more than 200 people in a boat? Is it to make the conscience calm? No! She doesn't want to slander you! I don't want to let people say that you marry a cold-blooded businessman who only recognizes money and does not recognize people!"
"I'm not sorry for her, but her heart began to think about you! But you were fine. What you said before was good, but then you climbed up to the top again! Our lady knew that she didn't eat for five days and five nights, and then she fell seriously ill and almost died!" Thinking of the miserable look of the lady at that time, Huaping Ping was so angry that her eyebrows stood up and her pink face flushed: "You hurt my lady's heart, but also made my master anxious and angry, and the old illness recurred. You, Chen Shimei, are really harmful to others!"
Hearing this, Silent interrupted her with a wave of his hand and said, "Stop saying anything, take me to take the thorns and apologize."
"It's too late! What have you done long ago?" Hua held his breath and said bitterly: "My lady has become a monk."
"Marry or become a monk?" Chen Si asked with wide eyes.
"Ph..." Huaping spat and said, "She is wearing a black garment, not a wedding dress. Do you think she is getting married or becoming a monk?"
"What? How could you be so unthinkable?" Silence said in disbelief.
"My lady is a clean and beautiful woman!" Hua held her breath and lowered her voice and said angrily: "How can you get married after being teased like this? She disdains to threaten you with this, so she escaped into the empty sect..."
"Which temple is she practicing?" said silently.
"You don't care about this!" Huaping stared at him and said, "I'm here to deliver a letter to you, let's take a look." Then he took out a plain letter from his sleeve.
When I looked out, I saw a few lines of beautiful small characters written on Xue Tao's paper, which was a poem:
"It is as capped as snow on the mountain, as bright as the moon among the clouds. I heard that you have two intentions, so you will be determined.
The past is unbearable, so don’t mention it again today; the water flows from east to west on the ditches.
Please don’t mind, you don’t need to beg for marriage. I hope you will never be separated from each other if you have lovers.”
A quick farewell poem was just telling him that the two had no relationship, neither a little blame nor a little resentment. Just like a proud princess, there was no need for sympathy or charity.
But the more this happens, the more I feel like a knife cut in my heart. Now he really hates the county magistrate Lu who has a bastard of three pounds, and of course he himself. If he had explained to his father earlier, there would not be these bullshits today.
When he came to his senses and was about to write something for Miss Yin, he saw that the screen had left at some point.
Chen Si kicked over the brazier with a kick. The entanglement in his heart made him scream, which scared the guards outside. When he ran in, he saw that the carpet was on fire. He quickly took the water to put out the fire, and then slapped it with a broom. After the fire was put out, the entire study room became smoky and messy.
Chen Si was already standing in the yard and said to his father who had heard the sound: "No matter what, I won't go to this betrothal gift."
"What should I do?"
"Don't worry, I love whoever I want!" said silently: "Anyway, I won't give this letter of appointment!"
Chen He sighed, patted his shoulder and said, "Child, you are a long time ago. Dad believes that you will be able to handle this matter well."
Although I was unsure of the silence, I still nodded.
On New Year's Eve, he didn't take anyone and went out to Yin's house as a single person. He wanted to come to the door to apologize, but the concierge politely told him that the master and the lady had gone to another place for the New Year and didn't know when they would come back.
He asked Huaping where he was, and the doorman told him that he was not in the mansion either. He went to Yiheyuan. After finally knocking on the back door, the young man told him that Huaping Sister accompanied Leng Chaofeng to the countryside to take a salt spring to treat her illness, and she was not at home.
Amid the sound of firecrackers, he came out of the alley silently and when he reached the intersection, he remembered that it was also here that day. She lifted the curtain of the car and smiled sweetly at him. He couldn't help but feel dazed, rubbed his eyes, but saw nothing.
