Red apricots make spring

Chapter 194 Unexpected Proposal
Just when Pei Jingxuan was about to give up on Shen Mengyi, he unexpectedly received a letter from her in the afternoon.He was happy at first, but when he read the exhibition letter, his mood immediately became gloomy.Unexpectedly, Shen Mengyi didn't mention anything about what happened in the capital, and only told him to marry Wen Rou as soon as possible, and there must be no further delay.

After reading the letter, Pei Jingxuan guessed countless times in her heart, but she couldn't figure out why at this time, she still cared about Wen Rou's marriage or not.He smiled wryly for a long time, read the letter again, and then burned it silently.

It's not that he doesn't want to help Shen Mengyi, but that after getting along with her these days, he finds that gentleness is not at all the same as those girls who admired him in the past. Every time he talks to him, there is no such adoring light in his eyes that he is used to. It's flickering, but it's normal and natural. He really doesn't know how to touch her heart. This kind of helplessness is exactly the same as he doesn't know how to touch Shen Mengyi's heart. So until now, the relationship between him and Wenrou There is no progress at all, marry her?Easier said than done!

I'm afraid this time, in all likelihood, he will disappoint Shen Mengyi.

Going home gently that night, seeing that Pei Jingxuan was not unusual after waking up except that he was silent and depressed, he chose to forget what happened last night. After all, everyone will behave strangely when they are drunk. With Pei Jingxuan's usual behavior, she thought that he must not have offended her on purpose, in order to avoid embarrassment for the two of them, it's better to pretend that this didn't happen.

After the meal, Rourou and Xiaohuan were in the room to settle accounts for the day as usual, when they suddenly heard the door was knocked twice, they couldn't help but look up, and saw Pei Jingxuan standing at the door, smiling slightly and saying to her: " Can you come out for a while? I have something to tell you."

Ruan was stunned for a moment, nodded, put down the brush in his hand, looked at Xiaohuan, and walked out.

The two walked into the yard and stood silently for a while. Pei Jingxuan said first, "I'm sorry about what happened last night. I couldn't remember it when I woke up. It was Xiaoye who told me that I knew what I did... I ... What a bastard!"

Through the faint brilliance of the bright moon in the sky, Rourou saw a large black spot under his left eye, which was caused by Ye Yu's beating last night, she couldn't help shaking her head and said: "It's nothing, just don't drink so much alcohol from now on, If I hadn't discovered it early last night, you might have been frozen to death in the yard."

Pei Jingxuan was silent for a while.

Ruan felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird and awkward, and then caught a glimpse of Mama Wen poking her head at the door of her own room. She felt a little displeased, and was anxious to go back to the room, so she said, "Is there anything else you want to say? If not, I'll go back first." room."

"I..." Pei Jingxuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I think I should be responsible for what happened last night, you...will you marry me?"

ah? !Rourou originally wanted to turn around and leave, but when she heard this, she couldn't turn her head around for a while, and froze on the spot.After all, as a modern person, it is difficult for her to accept the concept that being hugged and hugged is not Jun Mowei.

Seeing Wen Rou's wide-eyed eyes looking at him, Pei Jingxuan didn't turn his eyes away, and said in a low voice: "Last night, I really deserved to die. If the news gets out, I will teach you how to be a man... I think since I haven't married yet, I will I should take up this responsibility... Although I can't let you enjoy the glory and wealth, I promise to treat you very well..."

Rourou never thought that he would have any emotional ties with Pei Jingxuan, so when he heard the first two sentences he said, it felt very absurd, and he almost couldn't help but refute, but continued to listen, and after carefully looking at him , suddenly felt that if she married him, it seemed that it was not an unacceptable thing. After all, the person in front of her had been with him for a while, and she was not a bad person. Besides, if she wanted to get married right now, it was just for the sake of a normal life, not for the pursuit of love. After such careful consideration, Pei Jingxuan is really a more suitable candidate.

"I'm telling the truth." The gentle and continuous silence made Pei Jingxuan feel a little uneasy, afraid that she would refuse, so he quickly raised his hand and swore: "If I have a single word of falsehood, teach me to be decapitated in a different place in the future, and I will die." No body!"

This is not a false oath, Pei Jingxuan was forced to agree to the despicable thing of Shen Mengyi's visit, and felt a little guilty for Wenrou in his heart, since he couldn't marry Shen Mengyi anyway, and he didn't have much expectations for the rest of his life , it's better to be nicer to Wen Rou, and to repay the love owed to her, and feel at ease.

Although Rourou had already calmly calculated it in her heart, if she was asked to immediately agree to Pei Jingxuan's marriage proposal, she would be so unrealistic and rational. After thinking about it, she sighed and said, "I never believed in such things as oaths. You don't need to swear to me, as for getting married, let me think about it first."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Mama Wen's exclamation from inside the room, she couldn't help rubbing her temples with a headache and said, "Mom, if you want to listen, just stand up and listen, hide there and sneak around What the hell are you doing?"

Mother Wen walked into the courtyard in embarrassment, and said embarrassingly, "I was thirsty just now, so I came out to drink water." As she spoke, she looked at Pei Jingxuan, then at Wen Rou, and finally couldn't help asking: "Mr. Pei, Is it true or false that you just said that you want to marry my daughter?"

"Of course it's true." Pei Jingxuan leaned slightly, and said a little uneasy: "The elders should decide on the children's marriage. I should have discussed this matter with you first, but I was afraid that Wen Rou would not want to marry me, so I thought about asking first. She said.

Wen Rou couldn't make up her mind whether to marry this person or not. After all, this was a matter related to her lifelong happiness, so she wanted to hear other people's opinions, so she asked Mother Wen, "Mother, do you think this marriage should be married?" Shouldn't you agree?"

When she talked about her marriage, her attitude was natural without any tweaking, which made Pei Jingxuan extremely suspicious, but Mother Wen didn't think so much. Hearing Rourou ask her, she just said: "Of course I shouldn't agree!"

Pei Jingxuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

Rourou asked curiously: "Why?" She still hasn't forgotten that Mother Wen strongly advocated for her to marry Xu Xiucai!No matter how you look at it, Pei Jingxuan in front of you is much better than Xu Xiucai. Why doesn't Mother Wen look up to her?

Mother Wen said with a smile: "Mr. Pei, I'm from a poor family, don't make fun of me. I only know the saying that you marry a man, marry a man, wear clothes and eat! You are still playing the piano in the restaurant run by Rou'er to earn two hard-earned money. How can I raise her in the future?"
"I can teach people how to play the piano, and I can recruit a few more students. There will always be a monthly income of more than ten taels of silver. It is possible to feed her and clothe her warmly..." When Pei Jingxuan said this, he did not have enough confidence. This money is not small in the eyes of the poor, but in the eyes of Wen Rou, it is really nothing!What's more, people who learn piano don't mean that they can be found by looking for it. There are not too many people who can afford this kind of money to support their children to learn piano.

"Mr. Pei is also a literate person, so he didn't think about becoming an official?" Mother Wen was most concerned about this matter, she wished that both herself and her daughter could wear Fengguan Xiapei.

"I've never had any interest in official career..." Pei Jingxuan's voice became even lower.

Ms. Wen was always confused before, but after experiencing what happened to Xu Xiucai, she gained a lot of wisdom and learned a little bit smarter. She knew that she wanted to play hard to get. She saw the scene of Pei Jingxuan holding Wenrou tightly yesterday, and she just took it for granted. Lang has no intention of being a concubine. Since her daughter is not worried about getting married right now, she is not in a hurry, so she can take the time to pick on Qiao and raise her daughter's identity. She said with a smile: "Whether you want to be an official is one thing. It's another matter to get in the exam, otherwise, you and Gang'er will study together and take the exam together, as long as you pass the exam, I will promise to marry my daughter to you, how about it?"

"Don't you need to be an official?" Pei Jingxuan asked.

Mother Wen said with a smile, "up to you."

Ruan was dumbfounding as she listened, there was no such thing as a word, how could they bargain so as to make it sound like it was true?What's more, she just wanted to listen to mother Wen's advice, but she didn't let her make decisions for herself!So I had to interrupt them and said: "Put this aside for now, and talk about it later, I have to think about it for a few days."

"Don't think about it, you can't agree!" Ye Yu suddenly walked out of the room, his face sinking like water, he raised the half-burned note in his hand and said: "Mr. Pei wants to marry you, but There are other plans!"

I saw a book review that said I wanted to read the gossip about the annual meeting. I originally wanted to write two, but when I wrote the update, I was so sleepy that I couldn’t even lift my eyelids.
