Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 262 The Engagement

Su Chen was startled for a moment, and felt a little sudden about Han Xizai's proposal, but after thinking about it carefully, the matter between himself and Qingqing really needed a conclusion.

Although Qingqing did not open her mouth and said how much she liked him and how much she loved him, but Qingqing repeatedly sacrificed her life to save him, relying on Su's mansion not to leave, and taking his room as her own. In fact, it was the expression of that violent girl's feelings .

She will not be gentle and quiet, say some sweet words, and create a scene of flowers and moonlight to express her love, that is not in line with Peng Qingqing's character.

However, Su Chen has just come to Southern Tang for two months, and is gradually adapting to this identity and social background, and he is not keen on emotional matters; in addition, he was a straight man who did not have a girlfriend in his previous life, so he did not have a romantic relationship Love the experience.

From this point of view, Su Chen and Qingqing can be regarded as a friend in adversity, a little bit of success, and they have feelings for each other, but neither of them revealed it face to face.

At this time, Prefect Peng had already made the point, and Han Xizai offered to help matchmaking, so Su Chen had no reason or excuse to refuse.

What's more, he doesn't want to hurt Qingqing, and he has a good impression of her, so the engagement is not unacceptable.

"Qingqing and I met in Weimo. Although she is the daughter of the magistrate, she treats people sincerely. She doesn't have any contempt for me, a down-and-out scholar. She has helped me many times, rescued me, and solved my problems. It's dangerous for me, Su Chen, to have a wife like this, of course I wish for it! However, I just broke off the engagement with Miss Bai Jia Susu, and promised her not to get married for three years. I don't know if Uncle Peng will accept it, and if Qingqing will accept it."

What Su Chen said was very sincere, and he didn't want to hide anything, because the relationship between Bai Susu and Peng Qingqing belonged to best friends, and Peng Zeliang knew about the relationship between the three of them, so it would be safer for him to be more frank.

After Peng Zeliang finished listening, he fell into a brief silence. He couldn't find fault with Su Chen's answer. Although he was not completely satisfied, at least he didn't misunderstand the person.

He was not ungrateful, evaded, and voluntarily admitted that he liked Qingqing, which made Peng Zeliang feel relieved and had a great deal of face.

"When a man lives in the world, he should keep his promise. Since you promised Bai Susu, there is nothing wrong with fulfilling your promise. Although three years is a long time, you and Qingqing are not very old. You can get married first, and after three years Just get married again."

Peng Zeliang made a gesture of empathy, and he felt sorry for his daughter, and he didn't want to marry her when she was sixteen years old. When she was 19 years old, although she was a little older, she could still stay at home for three years. Spend more time with him.

In addition, he also wanted to observe Su Chen's performance in the past two or three years, whether he could get a Jinshi and make greater progress and achievements.

Seeing that Su Chen and Peng Zeliang had no objections, Han Xizai said with a smile, "Then congratulations to the two of you. From now on, weng and son-in-law will be friends."

Peng Zeliang waved his hand and said: "Before we get married, we can't talk about Weng-in-law, it depends on Yixuan's performance in the future."

Su Chen smiled awkwardly, hearing what Peng Zhifu said made sense, he would continue to test him before getting married.

Governor Wang and Duke Ning also expressed their congratulations to Peng Zeliang. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this Su Chen is exceptionally talented, rare in the world, and will never be a thing in the pool in the future!

Ning Guogong was half joking, half emotionally said: "If brother Peng Xian hadn't made a move earlier, Xu couldn't help but recruit Yixuan as his son-in-law."

Peng Zeliang laughed and said: "No way, the talented woman in Brother Xu's family has eyes above the top, and ordinary people don't like it."

Ning Guogong sighed: "Oh, just because the eyes are higher than the top, it's almost [-] years old, I haven't married yet, I have become an old girl, and I will be older in the future, what should I do! It's rare that Yixuan appears. Every time a young talented person writes poems and songs, Qingwan’s interest is bound to be aroused. She copies them many times in the study, and keeps reading and reciting them. She also often studies the symbolic algorithms Yixuan taught her at home. If you have nothing to do, run to Su's mansion, I have never seen her care about someone so much."

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words. It seems that Su Chen's charm, even Xu Qingwan, the number one talented woman in Runzhou, was also influenced by her talent.

"Haha, Yixuan's charm is really great!" Han Xizai laughed, thinking that this late-born romance is very interesting.

Peng Zeliang had a smile on his face, but his heart tightened slightly, he couldn't help but glance at Su Chen, thinking that he would tell Su Chen more in the future, don't provoke talented Xu Xu, she has a noble status and outstanding talent, and she definitely won't be a concubine , she might become Qingqing's enemy in the future.

The banquet continued, everyone drank and talked and laughed happily, which was very speculative.

During the dinner, they also talked about the poem "Liu Hou Lun" written by Su Chen. Some puzzled words and sentences were asked to Su Chen face to face, why he wrote that sentence, but Su Chen found appropriate excuses to evade it.

After the family banquet in Han's mansion, Su Chen was sent back to Su's mansion by Han Yunpeng.

"Brother Su, are you really going to take the imperial examination?"

Su Chen nodded and said: "Well, let's try it again. If you get a Jinshi and get an official job in the future, it won't affect the business. Maybe I have been in the court for a few years and I don't want to do it. Resign from office and go into business."

Han Yunpeng said worriedly: "However, my father once told me that the officialdom is a big dye vat, and it is also a point of no return. Once you step into it, you will either be a petty official, or you can only move forward and have power; Otherwise, it is easy to become a victim. Even if you voluntarily resign, your opponents may not let you go in the future. The people do not fight with the rich, and the rich do not fight with the officials. If you want to be an official, if you offend others, you must always If you become bigger and taller, the officials who have offended you like this will have nothing to do with you."

After Su Chen listened carefully, he felt that these words were quite reasonable, but there was no turning back when he opened his bow, so he could only take one step at a time.

After getting off the carriage, Su Chen returned to the mansion alone, Han Yunpeng was a little afraid of seeing Qingqing, so he boarded the carriage and left without entering the gate.

When Su Chen returned to the mansion, he found that Xu Qingwan, Liu Mo Nong, Ling'er, and Zhou Jiamin were playing mahjong in the main reception hall, and Qing Qing was nowhere to be seen, so he asked curiously, "Where is Qing Qing?"

Yang Ling'er said: "Sister Qingqing has returned to her room. Just now, a maid from the Peng residence came to convey the news that the prefect of Peng has been promoted to governor of Jiangning Prefecture, and will be moving to Jinling City in a few days. The maid was ordered to come here to invite sister Qingqing to go back. We packed up our luggage and we will soon go to Jinling to settle down together, so Sister Qingqing went back to her room angrily."

What kind of anger is this? Her father has been promoted several ranks in succession to Pin Yi. If it were someone else, she would be so excited, she would go back to her room and sulk.

Liu Mo Nong was more careful, and said: "Brother Su, you should go and visit, Qingqing, it seems that she doesn't want to go to Jinling."

"Understood, you guys continue to play." Su Chen sighed in his heart, is this silly girl really so emotional?
