Mingmen Family

Chapter 195 Surprised
But she thought it was fine.

Love needs passion and romance, but marriage needs calmness, rationality and reality.

Love is like freshly baked bread, no matter how hot or sweet it is, once the expiration date has passed, the taste will change. It is impossible to want to last forever, and the best ending is to transform into family love.

She doesn't believe in love in modern times, let alone in the ancient times where three wives and four concubines are legal, it is very difficult for women to get divorced, and they can't take their children away after divorce?
She looked at the man across from her.

Lu Guanyi is undoubtedly sincere and honest at this time, and, to a certain extent, he likes her.

The difficulties and embarrassments revealed by the hardships of travel can best show a person's true face.Along the way to Huizhou, Lu Guanyi loves cleanliness, doesn't make too much noise, is calm in situations, and handles things decisively, seemingly indifferent but full of warmth in his heart——

He is very sympathetic and caring to his subordinates. Villagers who are suffering from sudden illness will quietly order their subordinates to donate supplies and silver. However, this kind of support has a limit and will not be blindly kind.

The most important thing is that although he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, perhaps because of his growing environment, his mind is relatively mature, at least in terms of mental age, he is not much different from her.

Thinking about it this way, Ye Yaming had to admit that when she urgently needed a marriage partner to solve the difficult situation, this person in front of her was the only one she could accept, and perhaps the best one.

Moreover, he doesn't need to get married right away, but after two years.This gave her a buffer time, and if she found something wrong, she could find a way to dissolve the marriage.

Seeing Ye Yaming staring at him, Lu Guanyi didn't move or speak, he suddenly panicked.

If the woman in front of him was someone he didn't care about, he might still be able to remain calm and self-possessed; but because he cared, he would eventually worry about gains and losses.

He tried his best to keep calm, suppressed the panic in his heart, and said to Ye Yaming: "The matter is very important, you don't have to answer me now, you should think about it first, discuss it with your family before answering me."

As he spoke, he nodded to Ye Yaming, got up and walked out.

After a while, Ye Chongming, Qi Ji, and Lu Guanyi's voices sounded outside, and the voices gradually faded away.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Rui's voice sounded outside: "Girl, can we go in?"

"Come in." Ye Yaming stood up, walked to the soft couch by the window and sat down.

Bai Rui led a few maidservants in to tidy up the tea sets.

When they went out, Ye Chongming hurried in.

He waved Bai Rui out, leaned in front of Ye Yaming and asked, "Ming'er, what did Mr. Lu tell you just now?"

Ye Yaming was helpless when he saw the ghostly old man, with sparkling eyes and expectant face, and there seemed to be a hint of ridicule hidden in his eyes.

She signaled Ye Chongming to sit down, and then said: "He said, maybe he can get engaged to me to solve the troubles of the British government. In this way, his stepmother can't give him crooked melons and bad dates as his wife."

This is what Lu Guanyi said when he explained the situation of his family.

Originally, he was worried that he would give birth to an heir immediately after getting married, but after the death of Lu Guanyi's fiancée, Shi delayed his engagement.Later, she was talked about by others and couldn't drag it any longer, so she gave Lu Guanyi a woman who looked fine on the outside, but actually had a serious problem. It not only disgusted him, but also ruined his reputation—how could a knighthood be given to Lu Guanyi by a cuckold? who inherits it?Who knows if the child his wife gave birth to is from the Lu family?

So if Ye Yaming agrees here, Lu Guanyi will ask the prince to represent the man, and Master Zhizhi or Princess Yuning will be the matchmaker to make an engagement with Ye Yaming.

In this way, with the royal seal, no matter whether it is his stepmother or the British government, they will not be able to calculate their marriage anymore.

Ye Chongming was chatting with Qi Ji next door just now, and he had countless guesses in his mind, but whenever his thoughts turned to the direction of marriage, he would stop in time and remind himself not to fantasize.

The difference between the Ye family's family status and Xuanwuhou's mansion is too far.Even if Lu Guanyi is interested in Ye Yaming, he can only accept her as a concubine, and it is absolutely impossible to marry her.

And Ye Yaming would never be a concubine!
Hearing Ye Yaming's words at this time, he took it for granted that Lu Guanyi wanted to take Ye Yaming as his concubine, and immediately became angry after being astonished.

"No, absolutely not. How dare he? How could he do this?" He angrily walked around the room twice, "I saw that he and Mr. Qi respected you very much a while ago. to humiliate you!"

"No, I'll go and tell him." As he said that, he was about to rush out.

Ye Yaming hurriedly grabbed him: "Grandfather, he didn't mention being a concubine, it should be... a wife." After talking about it, she suddenly became uncertain.

Because in her mind, there was never the option of being a concubine.

And judging by Lu Guanyi's attitude, even though there are no straightforward words in his words, his words, deeds and gestures are all about confessing his love and proposing marriage.

So she never thought that there would be such a term as "taking a concubine".

Thinking back carefully now, Lu Guanyi only said "marry me", and didn't say whether to marry her or take her as a concubine; later he said "once you become my fiancee", but also Not sure.

Based on Ye Yaming's reading comprehension ability and intuition, although she thinks that there is a high probability that Lu Guanyi will not be so fucked up, it is not impossible.

Seeing Ye Yaming's hesitation, Ye Chongming said: "What did he say just now, tell me in detail."

There is nothing to say, Ye Yaming repeated Lu Guanyi's words.

When she said this, Ye Chongming also hesitated, touched his chin and said: "How do you hear the meaning of this, it seems that he really likes you and wants to marry you?"

It's not easy for Ye Yaming to nod.

She said: "This matter can't be vague, you have to ask clearly."

She pulled Ye Chongming's sleeve, and said in a coquettish tone, "Grandfather, I don't want others to know about this matter until I understand it. Go and ask me yourself."

"Okay, I was going to ask in person." Ye Chongming said.

Someone came to propose marriage to his granddaughter. As an elder, if he didn't ask in person at this time, why should he send a servant to ask?

Just do it.

He got up immediately and went to the Lu residence.

The Lu family was not far from the Ye family, and after Ye Yaming sat there and practiced a word, Ye Chongming came back.

Ye Yaming saw the smile on his face and knew the answer without asking.

"When he heard me ask him whether he would marry you or take you as a concubine, he had a look of incredulity on his face, and said, how could it be a concubine? Even if he married a wife, he was still worried about making you feel wronged."

Ye Chongming smiled and narrowed his eyes: "That kid, I really like you."

Because of his status, even though Ye Chongming was old, he always respected Lu Qi and Lu Qi in a position higher than him, and always called him "Young Master" when he spoke.

Knowing that he likes his granddaughter now, he even called him "boy".
