Chapter 215 Marriage Allowed
Sitting on the bed and thinking for half an hour, Chen decided to let the Xu family's marriage go.In order to prevent Mrs. Xie from coming to see the clues, she took ten copper coins and asked the middle-aged and middle-aged people in the village to run away, and told Mrs. Xie not to come again today, and only said that there was something at home.In the evening, she went to pick up Du Jinning at the gate of the academy and persuaded Xu Chengyuan to go back.

"Mother, what happened?" Du Jinning asked while following Mrs. Chen to the house.

Chen then told about Yan Cen's marriage proposal today.

Du Jinning was so angry that he scolded Yan Cen.Turning around and seeing Chen's languid expression, he was suddenly suspicious: "Apart from this, what else?"

Remembering that Mrs. Chen persuaded Xu Chengyuan to go back, she asked again: "Did you tell Aunt Xu about the elder sister's marriage?"

"No." Chen's eyes dodged, "This just happened. I was afraid that your Aunt Xu would think too much, so I planned to delay it."

"Just because something like this happened, the marriage should be booked right away so that Aunt Xu won't think too much. If you delay, maybe she will think that we want to consider the Yan family's marriage." Du Jinning persuaded, "No more There is still more than a month left, and senior brother Xu will go to the scientific examination. If he is admitted as a scholar and then proposes marriage, Aunt Xu will not think so highly of Eldest Sister."

"It's easy to make icing on the cake, but it's hard to give charcoal in the snow. We can only promise the elder sister to him when their family is in the most difficult time. Their mother and son will be grateful, and the elder sister will be better. When Yan's family came to propose marriage, he hesitated. Brother Xu passed the exam. The scholar agreed to the marriage, if it were you, what would you think of our family? It must be regarded as our trend."

Chen didn't make a sound.Her steps were heavy and her mind was heavy.

"Mom, what are you hiding from me?" Seeing her like this, Du Jinning became anxious and said harshly, "If you don't tell me about the family affairs, from now on, I won't care about the family affairs anymore."

Seeing that Mrs. Chen was still hesitating, she had tears in her eyes, and said reluctantly: "I spend all my time outside planning for this family, and you still have other plans behind my back, what do you take me for? There are many things You don’t understand, if someone takes advantage of you, I will be the first victim.”

Chen was not sure whether to tell Du Jinning about Du Fangfei's plan, but when Du Jinning said this, the balance in his heart tilted.

She said: "Okay, don't cry, mother will tell you." Then she told Du Jinning about Du Fangfei's worries and plans.

With the soul of an adult, Du Jinning has experienced a lifetime of life, and there are very few things that can make her emotionally fluctuate and her mood is difficult to calm down.But at this moment, a strong and ups and downs emotion surged in her heart, making her unable to calm down for a long time.She didn't even know whether it was the remaining emotions of the original body, or her own inner feelings.

After traveling here, although she also regards the Chen family and the three sisters as relatives and carries everything about them on her shoulders, she cannot have an emotional dependence on the Chen family and the others that cannot be separated by blood.She has experienced a whole life, and she has already wrapped a thick hard shell on her heart in a world of intrigues and intrigues.

But at this moment, she could feel her hard shell slowly softening and disappearing.

The eldest sister who is as weak as a dodder flower has no way to change the status quo, no way to contend with the dangers of this male world, she can only protect her youngest sister by sacrificing her own marriage.In the past, Meng Qiang, who was married to Xu, changed her medicine to save her from the ghost gate, but now she wants to marry herself to Yan Cen in exchange for her protection in the future.She values ​​her family more than her own life.

With a heart as hard as iron, Du Jinning couldn't help crying.

"Mother, I'll go back and talk to my eldest sister," she said.

Mrs. Chen opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she still closed her mouth.

She herself was in a mess, she didn't know what to do, how could she persuade Du Jinning?
The mother and daughter went back to Du's house with their own thoughts.

After entering the door, Du Jinning went to the hall and called Du Fangfei who was practicing embroidery: "Sister, I wrote a storybook, come and help me bind it."

Since moving to Zhuangzi, Du Jinning's words were all bound by Du Fangfei. When she said this, Du Fangling and Du Fanghui didn't have any doubts.

Du Fangfei, on the other hand, was restless all afternoon, and now hearing Du Jinning call her, she felt even more disturbed.But he still put down his work and followed Du Jinning to her room.

Chen also followed.

Du Jinning entered the room and sat down, motioned for Mrs. Chen, who was the last to enter, to close the door, and said to Du Fangfei, "Sister, I already know what you think."

Du Fangfei was startled, and raised her head to look at her mother, full of blame.

Du Jinning didn't give her a chance to think, and continued: "I know you want to help me. But how can you help me, do you know?"

Du Fangfei turned her gaze in surprise.

"Whether you can help me depends not on family background, but on character." Du Jinning said again.

Now not only Du Fangfei didn't understand, even Chen Shi was dumbfounded by Du Jinning's words, and couldn't help asking: "How do you say that?"

"Think about it, if the elder sister married someone who is irresponsible, or who is wise and self-serving, or selfish, will they fight against the head of the mountain for me?"

Du Fangfei hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"The people of the noble family enjoy the protection given to them by the noble family. In turn, they have to serve the noble family and obey the orders of the rulers of the clan. What they consider most is how to protect their own interests. They will never For the family of a certain tribe's wife, they will be hostile to another family, even if they take it in, lest others think too much. On the contrary, they will ask the tribe to divorce their wives to show their position."

Du Jinning raised his eyes and looked at Du Fangfei: "But Xu Chengyuan's family can't. I know their character very well. When I am in trouble and want to ask them for help, they will definitely help me with everything Yes. I know Guan Shanchang's temperament very well. He is an upright gentleman. The thing you worry about secretly killing yourself to save face will never happen. At most, he will drive me out of the door."

Speaking of this, she paused: "At that time, I will have nothing and nowhere to go. Do you think Yan Cen will take me in or Xu Chengyuan will take me in?"

"Xu Chengyuan." Du Fangfei said.

Du Jinning smiled: "Look, sister, you actually understand it very well." She suppressed her smile, "When I have no value to use, many people will not help me. Unless the person is honest and kind, and is not afraid of the rich and powerful." .”

After hearing these words, Mrs. Chen made up her mind.She looked at Du Fangfei and said, "Get engaged to Xu Chengyuan."

Du Fangfei nodded: "Okay."
