Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 694 Follow-up
Guan Wen paused for a while before he said: "You also know that when we were poor, we were favored by Lord Xue. It was his intention to propose marriage. Because of this kind of affection, it seems a bit unreasonable for us to refuse. You I don’t really care about the age of Qingyan and Youyou. On the contrary, I think that when men are older, they can love their wives more. They not only treat their wives as wives, but also take care of them like younger sisters. I’m worried It's just that the Xue family threatened to repay their kindness, and if Youyou is wronged in the future, we can't speak forcefully."

Li Xin sighed softly, but then remembered what Xue Qian said to her today.

She was very contradictory, and her thoughts were so chaotic that she couldn't figure out a clue.How should the Xue family deal with the marriage proposal?

"Then... you also firmly disagree?" Li Xin asked Guan Wen tentatively.

Guan Wen hugged her and raised his eyebrows slightly: "I won't agree for the time being."

"Why?" Li Xin asked: "Is it possible to agree in the future?"

Guan Wen was silent before he said: "If Xue's family came to propose marriage, we agreed quickly, and it seemed that we were clinging to them. Xue's family roots are deep and big, and his background is not simple. Master Xue has been in Hui County for a few years. But he didn't show his face at all, and I'm always worried. Fortunately, we also know that kid Qingyan, he's a good one... Let's take a look."

Guan Wen patted Li Xin on the shoulder, and said: "Recently, you have been busy with too many things. I have seen that you have lost a lot of weight. Put aside all the troublesome things. The most important thing right now is you. body." Guan Wen touched Li Xin's stomach with his hand: "Is the child still well-behaved?"

Li Xin smiled, his eyebrows and eyes softened: "He has always been very good."

Guan Wen helped Li Xin get closer to the bed, knelt down to rub her legs, and said, "I've been too busy recently, so I haven't paid attention to your body. Are your legs swollen? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

There were a lot of intimacy between husband and wife before Guan Wen made his fortune. During the days when Guan Wen ran between the villages in the town, the relationship between the two gradually warmed up and became better and better. Instead, they went to the town, because Guan Wen was busy. The relationship, the time belonging to the two of them has dwindled.In the past, when Li Xin washed Guan Wen's feet, it was normal for Guan Wen to rub Li Xin's shoulders. When he arrived in the town, there were waiters around, and this kind of intimacy disappeared.

Li Xin looked softly at the man squatting in front of him, but he could only see the top of his hair, and a masculine male voice came to his ears: "Do you feel more comfortable?"

Li Xin responded softly, Guan Wen sat up, and said with a smile: "I will ask Qingya and Guozi to help you massage more in the future. I will also massage you when I have time. It's getting late, go to bed first Bar."

After speaking, he supported Li Xin's shoulders and waist to let her lie down, while Guan Wen went to blow out the candles and draw the curtains before falling asleep.

After a while, the man hugging her snored evenly.

Guan Wen fell asleep after touching the pillow.

He put his hand on Li Xin's chest. Both of them were lying on their sides. Li Xin turned his back to him and couldn't see his sleeping face. However, listening to this familiar snoring sound, she only felt peace in her heart. Inexplicably, it calmed down the ripples in my heart caused by the straightforward conversation with Xue Qian today.

Accompanying me is always this man who values ​​love, righteousness and responsibility.

Li Xin reached out to cover Guan Wen's hand, and opened his eyes slightly to look at the darkness.

She was thinking about how to reject the Xue family's marriage proposal.

Xue Qian asked her to think about it again, she had already thought it through very clearly.When Xue Qian asked her, whether she cared about the age difference between Qingyan and Youyou, or their previous relationship, she directly revealed the true nature of the matter in front of her.

She couldn't deny that this was a top priority for her.

When there is no friendship between Qin and Jin, they can let you walk your Yangguan way, and I will walk my single-plank bridge.But if they were to become in-laws, daily contact would be necessary, and she would inevitably feel conflicted.

The sound of Guan Wen's slight snoring was still ringing in her ears, Li Xin closed her eyes gently, and unconsciously scratched Guan Wen's palm.

Before she knew it, she fell asleep too.

Things always have to be faced, Xue Qingyan came to the door again two days later, this time he offered a big gift, as if it was a door-to-door visit.

Guan Wen was not there, and Guan Quan entrusted Guo Linzi with the business affairs. He went to Hehua Village on horseback. He had to rest at home overnight and would not come back until tomorrow.

Xue Qingyan blushed slightly, and saluted Li Xin respectfully, still calling her Aunt Guan.

Knowing that Xue Qingyan was coming, Li Xin let someone carry you down. At this time, she was also sitting upright, looking at Xue Qingyan with a smile, and exchanged a few innocuous words with him.

Xue Qingyan came here obviously to persuade Li Xin or something. Li Xin didn't mention this, and he was not impatient. After chatting for a while, he slowly changed the subject and said, "Aunt Guan, why haven't you seen Sister Youyou?"

Li Xin took a sip of tea, and the smile on her face faded slightly: "She is small and doesn't get enough sleep every day, she should be sleeping right now."

Xue Qingyan didn't insist on seeing Youyou, and continued: "The last time I saw Aunt Guan at the door, I didn't have time to say a few more words to Aunt Guan... I don't know what Aunt Guan is thinking?" Xue Qingyan asked this question , also a little embarrassed, slightly lowered his head and said: "Father asked me to ask Aunt Guan, if both Uncle Guan and Aunt Guan agree, he will solemnly find Iceman to hire..."

The last time the chief steward of Xue's mansion and mother Tan came to bring some gifts, and it was just to test the Guan family.If he got Li Xin's verbal approval this time, Xue Qian would ask Iceman to propose marriage solemnly.

Although the Iceman and the matchmaker are both in the business of being a matchmaker, one eats rice from the government, while the other takes the private route.When a big family decides to marry, they always look for Iceman to talk about items. Ordinary people can't afford Iceman, and Iceman will not be willing to accept the marriage proposal of ordinary people, so as not to lower their "class".

And once the Iceman comes out, it must be that the two families have already negotiated, and the marriage is naturally a sure thing.

Li Xin supported his forehead slightly, and his voice was slightly lowered by two points: "Qingyan, don't you think you are much older than Youyou?"

Xue Qingyan realized that Li Xin was alluding to him as "an old cow eats tender grass", and his face flushed immediately.

No matter how calm and steady the young man is, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old. Even if he has no knowledge of human affairs, he is not ignorant of the affairs of men and women.Xue Qingyan replied in a low voice: "Aunt Guan, if I marry Youyou, I will love her as a treasure and never let her be wronged..."

"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future." Li Xin said flatly: "Your age is indeed the time to get engaged, but Yoyo is only three years old, even if you find her a husband ten years later, it is still possible , Uncle Guan and I are in no hurry..."

Xue Qingyan lowered his head, and his voice became more urgent: "But Aunt Guan, I..."

Li Xin interrupted before he finished speaking: "You see that Youyou looks like your mother, and you want to use this to remember your mother. Auntie understands. But you also need to understand Auntie."

Li Xin walked down from the seat holding her belly, and Qing Ya quickly helped her.Li Xin stopped in front of Xue Qingyan and patted him on the shoulder: "You are handsome, and you have such a good family background, why don't you worry about finding a girl from a good family to be your wife? You can regard Yoyo as your younger sister If you love her so much, you don’t have to marry her as a wife, do you?”

The look in Xue Qingyan's eyes dimmed.

He couldn't deny that he was shocked when he heard his father proposed to hire Yoyo after returning from Guan's house a few days ago, and found it ridiculous, but it was only one night, and he looked forward to it very much. Early in the morning, he rushed to tell his father to agree to this matter, and urged his father to arrange it quickly.

At that time, his father looked at him with a half-smile, but he nodded after all, and Dang even asked the chief manager to prepare a generous gift to come to the door.

Thinking about it later, this move was really hasty.

As he grew older, his father rarely refused the requests he made.After the manager and Tan's mother came back and described the situation in Guan's house, his father taught him lightly: "Don't rush for quick success in everything you do. You must know that only step by step can you get better."

Then, his father used his grandmother's name to make an appointment with Aunt Guan in private. Two days later, he finally couldn't help himself and came to ask Aunt Guan what she wanted.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Guan still refused.

Xue Qingyan sighed in his heart, a little sad, but still did not give up.He glanced at Qing Ya, his eyes revealed the meaning of asking her to go down.

Qing Ya looked at Li Xin hesitantly.

Li Xin sighed and said, "Young lady, go down and watch outside the door."

Qingya could only nod her head and go down, there was no one else in the room.

Xue Qingyan suddenly half-kneeled in front of Li Xin.

Li Xin staggered in fright. Fortunately, there was a high-leg table beside her. She stretched out her hand to hold Xue Qingyan up, "What are you doing? Hurry up!" Even though she is Xue Qingyan's elder, she can You can't accept such a big gift from this child!

Xue Qingyan was stubborn, seeing Li Xin sitting down, he opened his mouth and said: "If Aunt Guan minds the relationship with my father, please rest assured, Aunt Guan, there will never be a fourth person to know about this matter."

Li Xin only felt a "click" in her head, like a thunderbolt from the clear sky, which blew her mind away.

Xue Qingyan even knew?

After a long time, she whispered: "You... how would you know..." It wasn't a relationship, it was just a past that she remembered. Could it be that Xue Qingyan knew something, but also misunderstood something?
Xue Qingyan said: "Father told me, it's not too short a time for me to know..." Xue Qingyan was a little ashamed: "At the beginning, I always thought that Aunt Guan was very similar to my mother. According to my understanding of my father, when my father saw Aunt Guan, who looks like my mother, should show some emotions, but every time my father doesn't care, it attracts my attention. Later, I couldn't help it, so I asked my father, who just told Aunt Guan Tell me about the old acquaintance with him."

Xue Qingyan raised his head and said: "Aunt Guan, Qingyan respects you, and will definitely love Youyou well. The past is just the past after all, and Qingyan will pretend not to know if his father doesn't mention it, and Aunt Guan doesn't need to care. This matter has long since disappeared... "

Li Xin's mouth was bitter, and he was about to say something, but Qingya knocked on the door, and came in with her head, quite nervous and fearful: "Madam, Cao Guanshi just said that there is a Mr. Su who wants to see you, how many hours are there at the door?" A soldier is waiting."

Li Xin was shocked at the place.
