Die Wu was a little confused, "The two of us are here to serve the young lady because of the matter at Longen Temple and because the fourth young master is worried about your safety."
"...silly girls."
Song Guanzhou didn't make her words clear, and her smile was fleeting. She said seriously, "If the other person doesn't really treat you sincerely, remember not to lose your heart."
Xu Lingqiao lowered her head, bit her lip and said, "Guan Zhou, I really don't plan to get married again."
"My dear sister, it's all up to you. Don't worry, my cousin and I, either of us can support you. If you meet someone you like one day, it won't be too late to talk about marriage."
Xu Lingqiao raised her head, with tears in her eyes.
"Guan Zhou, there are no unmarried women in this world. If...if I were to become an old lady, would you feel ashamed?"
Ah!
Song Guanzhou immediately shook his head, very confidently.
"Why should I be ashamed of this? I am both talented and beautiful. We have known each other for more than half a year. Many people want to marry you, including some young scholars with bright futures. But I always say that your feelings are the most important. As for whether it is embarrassing or not, don't worry, I don't care how others see me."
Xu Lingqiao murmured, "Guan Zhou, can people really live their lives without caring about other people's opinions?"
If she doesn't get married, when her brother gets married and has children in the future, she is afraid that she will become a burden to her nephews and nieces.
There are many thoughts like this.
But if she gets married, she will lose her innocence. If she discusses marriage again, wouldn’t that be... wouldn’t that be bringing humiliation upon herself?
I was in a dilemma and hoped for Huang Zhi, but this man was unreliable.
He alone let down two women.
Xu Lingqiao suffered a lot and cried quietly in countless dark nights. Now, when she was testing the waters with Guan Zhou, who treated her like a sister, she felt that her cousin was truly broad-minded and strong.
Song Guanzhou sighed, "Many people always think that face is more important than substance. But this is useless in front of me."
"Guan Zhou, could you please explain it in detail so I can learn from you."
Song Guanzhou shrugged, "At the moment of life and death, no matter how others look at me, it can't save my life. I was tortured in the stream room. If I hadn't gritted my teeth and held on, I would have died. And if I had fallen into the water and was washed to an unknown place, if I had considered the difference between men and women and refused the third brother of the Pei family to save my life, I would be a pile of bones now."
face?
She looked at Xu Lingqiao, "Sister, is face important when it comes to life and death? Is it something I have to consider when I am trying to survive whether others say I am a good girl or a bad woman?"
this--
Xu Lingqiao hesitated, "Guan Zhou, if you put it that way, then in the human world... life and death are the most important things."
Song Guanzhou nodded heavily.
"If someone praises me or insults me, it won't move me at all. If she acts unruly in front of me, I will fight her even at the risk of my life!"
puff!
When Diewu heard about the fight, she laughed.
"Madam, as for the fight, just give me the order and I will do it."
Song Guanzhou was deeply moved by these words. "That's right! The girls in front of me are all first-rate. Not to mention that Diewu and Dieyi are good at fighting, even the two younger ones, Qingfang and Qingfei, are also strong. No matter who bullies us, we are not afraid!"
"...Hey, I understand a little bit of what Guan Zhou said, but few people in this world can be so carefree."
Song Guanzhou smiled and shook his head.
"My dear sister, please don't feel sorry for yourself. Even if you want to get married right now, I will find you a good husband."
"Do not--"
Xu Lingqiao's face suddenly flushed, and she shook her head repeatedly, "I don't hate getting married, I just worry about being a burden to my family."
"Don't worry. No matter where your cousin is assigned to after the spring, I will find something for you to do as your younger sister. If you have something to do, weddings and funerals won't be that important."
A woman in a carriage came to Wenxi Villa, chatting and laughing.
When getting off the car, Song Guanzhou was still standing on the shaft of the cart, looking up at Wenxi Villa. It was like all the villas of that era, with an ancient gate, three or five steps in front of the door, and green moss faintly visible.
There are bushes and weeds on both sides, and although it is winter, it is still green.
It is not grand, but it is not small either.
Before coming, Song Guanzhou mentioned it many times, but when he really got there, he sighed in his heart, it turns out..., it's just like this.
Pei An came forward to support her, "Second Aunt and her family came here a few days ago, and the villa is now fully prepared, but the steps still look a little slippery."
The two of them went into Wenxi Villa together.
Just as Xu Lingqiao was about to enter the door, she heard the sound of horse hooves. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a royal blue figure slowly approaching at the end of the road, which was just wide enough for a carriage to pass.
It's my brother!
She stood there, looking forward to it.
But he saw two figures behind Xu Lingbai.
Lin Shan came up and said, "Cousin, it seems to be the second son of the Qin family."
Ok?
It had been a while since they last met. Hearing that it was him, Xu Lingqiao turned around and looked at Linshan, "Brother Linshan, isn't the Second Young Master going to be a mourner at Prince An's funeral? How come he has time to come?"
Lin Shan smiled lightly, "My cousin, you don't know that Wanlang doesn't go to be lectured every day, not to mention that the Second Young Master has such a temper that he can't stay."
In short, it was a group of good-looking second-generations with good family backgrounds who were preparing to sing elegies and perform funeral rites and processions for Prince An's funeral.
This is a good opportunity for some young men with mediocre qualifications who cannot pass the imperial examinations.
He could show his face in front of the royal family. Now that the Empress Dowager is old, if he could be a funeral groom in the future, the Ministry of Rites would arrange a job for him as appropriate, and his future would be settled.
But this is not where Qin Qingdong needs to go.
He simply had to go, otherwise, the Qin family would have planned to let him do as he pleased for another two years before making any plans.
The three men came up and dismounted.
Xu Lingqiao bowed and greeted the two of them, but Qin Qingdong looked ahead and asked, "Have Ji Zhang and Guan Zhou entered?"
Xu Lingqiao replied softly, "Yes, they probably didn't hear the sound of horse hooves. I was a step behind and saw that it was you, so I stopped."
"Thank you Miss Xu."
Qin Qingdong supported Linshan and winked, "Linshan, did you show up in front of our old lady a few days ago?"
Lin Shan smiled and replied, "I am following the orders of the Fourth Young Master and Young Madam to send some specialties from Jiuxian County to the old lady. They were bought by my cousin and his daughter when they passed by Jiuxian County."
When Old Lady Qin heard that it was Song Guanzhou who sent someone to deliver the letter, she made an exception and met Lin Shan.
Qin Qingdong stood on the steps, his elbow on Linshan's shoulder, half of his body almost on Linshan, "Linshan, there is a happy event. I will talk to Ji Zhang later. It concerns you."
ha?
