Chapter 132 Comparison
"Sister Xiaodong..." Qin Lie said, "Actually, you, that, I...you..."

You waited for a long time, but didn't see the following.

Xiaodong raised his head, Qin Lie's face flushed red, and he couldn't hold back those words.

Xiaodong's face is still hot right now, but it's much better than before.

Cough, actually...

She could probably guess what Qin Lie wanted to say.

People at this time are really different from those in previous lives.Men at that time always talked about love, but they just didn't mention marriage.

And Qin Lie talked about the marriage so neatly, like arranging some official business, one is one, two is two, the purpose is clear and well-planned, but as soon as this is mentioned... he immediately becomes a dumb bird.

"Then... I've always been with you, then...you..."

His expression is really unbearable to look at, he is so red that he is almost bleeding, redder than a cockscomb.

"Then, I, I'm going first... Think about it carefully, when it's your birthday..."

He spoke the words behind quickly and vaguely, and walked away as if a thief was chasing him.

And he didn't go through the main entrance!
Xiaodong didn't even have time to call him, he had already jumped out of the open window.

Cough, but he came in through the door today!

Xiaodong slapped himself on the forehead, dumbfounded.

What are these things called?

"The princess?"

Xiaodong turned her head, Hongfu raised the curtain, and looked around the room suspiciously: "Young Master Qin...has he left?"

Xiaodong nodded: "Let's go."

Just not through the door.

Just as Hong Fu wanted to ask something, her lips moved, she swallowed the words again, and said, "The kitchen came to ask what's for dinner?"

Xiaodong took the list to draw a dish, and added another soup: "Okay, let's do that, where's Mama Hu?"

"Looked back to find something."

She needs to be calm.

She had to digest what Qin Lie said just now.

But when he thought of Qin Lie talking calmly and eloquently just now, he suddenly became purple and eggplant unable to utter a single sentence, the corners of Xiaodong's mouth twitched.

The distribution of this person's ability is too uneven.Is it so difficult to say a nice and gentle word?

In the evening, Xiaodong accompanied Wang An for dinner, and when the meal was over and tea was served, Zhao Lu started to joke about it. There were several members of the military department named Zhang, who were called according to their duties on weekdays. His surname is Zhang, but he didn't say which one.The guard was worried about carrying the food box, so he had to invite several masters Zhang to identify whose family the food box belonged to.However, there is no mark on the food box, so I can't recognize it.The guard had an idea and thought of another way, saying that everyone should open the lid of the box and smell the food. You can definitely smell the food cooked in each family.

Although Xiaodong was a little absent-minded, he was still amused: "Did brother make it up?"

"It's not made up, it's the real thing." Zhao Lu said with a smile: "This method is really effective. Everyone must be the most familiar with the food of each family. One Master Zhang said, ah, this is sent by my family. Others asked him why, and he said, my wife’s steamed buns have always been sour.”

Even King An couldn't help laughing.

Xiaodong waited for Zhao Lu to go out, and then came to King An: "Father..."

Although Wang An is usually kind and amiable, it is not so easy to talk to his mother about this daughter's family, but it is not so easy to talk to his father.

"Did Qin Lie tell you something?"

cough……

Xiaodong looked up at King An, then lowered his head to rub the handkerchief.

——Is there anything in the palace that can be hidden from King An?
"Father... also knows?"

"Naturally know."

"Then... what does father mean?"

Wang An smiled and pointed to his side: "Sit down and talk."

Xiaodong responded, and sat down on the couch next to Wang An.

King An asked her, "Then what do you mean?"

Xiaodong was very depressed——

Wang An's question was too unskillful, how could he be so blunt and ask her this question out loud?

Xiaodong threw the question back again: "Qin Lie said that he asked his father when he left Beijing a few years ago... Father never told me about it..."

Wang An narrowed his eyes slightly: "His request is his business. How old were you at that time? Besides, if he didn't have the ability to keep his promise, I wouldn't have promised him anything."

So treacherous!

Xiaodong gave Wang An a thumbs up in his heart.

Qin Lie was certainly not stupid, but compared to an old fox like An Wang who was about to become a master, he was really immature.Listening to Qin Lie's narration just now, King An gave him affirmation and opportunity.So this silly boy is working hard towards the top with all his heart.But when he came to An Wang, An Wang didn't even make a promise.

Seeing that Xiaodong's face turned red again, he was probably going to be annoyed, King An quickly stopped, and took out his usual fatherly gesture: "What did he say to you this afternoon, tell my father."

Still need her to say?Don't you always guess clearly?
Xiaodong murmured to himself, and told Wang An what Qin Lie said about her coming to propose marriage on her birthday.

"Well, with his temperament, he still can't hold his breath..." Wang An nodded, his tone seemed very regretful: "I thought he could wait another year..."

"Father..." Xiaodong was very puzzled: "I thought the person my father was optimistic about... wasn't someone like Qin Lie."

In the past, Xiaodong felt that if Wang An was to pick a son-in-law, Shen Jing would be the number one candidate.He was born in a family, with outstanding talent and good looks, good character and good temper. When he came to study with Zhao Lu, there was a rumor in Prince An's mansion that this young cousin was probably the future wife.

As for Qin Lie, from his background, he might be crossed.Besides learning, it's another fork.He is now running a caravan and opening a shop. The business is so prosperous that he should be special.Scholars, farmers, businessmen, merchants come last, and businessmen are always looked down upon.No matter how eclectic Wang An is, if he really finds a businessman as his son-in-law, it would be too...too creative.Xiaodong doesn't care, but you can't do what you want to do in this world. You live in this society, and you must follow the laws and regulations here. Most people's values ​​and morals will inevitably affect your every move.It doesn't help that you're the only one who thinks it's right when everyone else thinks it's wrong.

No matter how you look at it, Qin Lie will not be considered by King An.Well, let's also mention his appearance——Qin Lie's appearance should belong to the non-mainstream school, he is not fair enough, not thin enough, nor elegant enough.It should be said that the gap between him and the "beauty" standard of the current upper class is too great, and he is a negative example.

Wang An said, "You take that box from the shelf."

Xiaodong held the box over, Wang An opened the lid and asked her, "What do you think this is?"

Uh... There are two round things inside, a layer of rough and cracked hard shell, gray-brown, and uneven.

Xiaodong had never seen anything like this.

Wang An scratched the shell with a paper knife and broke it open.

A fresh fragrance overflowed, and Xiaodong couldn't help being surprised: "This... Bodhi fruit?"

She had never seen what a bodhi fruit looked like without its shell.Unexpectedly, such a sweet and precious fruit has such an inconspicuous outer shell.

"The ones you saw before were all shelled. They are red and fragrant, and everyone knows they are good things. But many times, people miss the precious things just because the outer shell is not good-looking, just like This fruit."

Xiaodong really wanted to roll his eyes: "Father, I understand what you mean, you want me not to judge people by their appearance."

But to Xiaodong, Qin Lie's appearance is not bad at all.

After all, in her previous life, it was very popular for Qin Lie to be so masculine.Those who apply makeup and powder to trim eyebrows are called hypocrites-you can watch them from a distance but not play with them.

"I didn't think about Shen Jing from the beginning." Wang An didn't go around the bush, and cut straight to the point: "He's good, but he's not suitable for you."

Holding the peeled Bodhi fruit shell, Xiaodong listened carefully to what Wang An said.

"The Shen family in Hedong has a strict family style. The children of the Shen family and the daughters of the Shen family have nothing to say about their upbringing. But it is not easy to be the daughter-in-law of this family, not to mention that Shen Jing has high expectations and heavy responsibilities. If you marry him, We have to shoulder this burden together with him." Wang An stroked Xiaodong's hair: "I can't bear to let my precious girl suffer like that."

With a sour heart, Xiaodong called out in a low voice, "Father."

"This is one. Second, Shen Jing himself is not suitable for you." Wang An asked: "Tell me, what about Shen Jing?"

"Cousin Shen is very good..." Xiaodong shook his head, "It's hard to find fault."

"Yes, but he is too tired to live. He is always cautious and considers everything. Not only does he demand this from himself, but he will also demand the same from his future wife. When encountering anything, he will first weigh the interests - he will never put his wife Put it first."

What Wang An said hit the nail on the head.

Indeed, silence is like that.

Xiaodong couldn't help thinking, did Wang An know that Shen Jing might be in love with the fifth princess in his heart?And the fifth princess seems to be very concerned about Shen Jing?
Maybe this matter is not as the novel thinks, after all, a brocade belt can't explain anything.

"Therefore, Qin Lie is superior to Shen Jing. He has no father's family, nor a natal family. He only has one relative, which is his mother. I know that person, she has a very open-minded and strong personality, and she won't fight with her daughter-in-law all day long. Litigation. Qin Lie is resolute and resolute. He created such a family business from scratch, but he still has a pure heart and treats people with sincerity. He is just like his mother in his bones. One husband and one wife. Once you promise, you will live up to it for the rest of your life——I just took a fancy to him first, my daughter, how can I serve a husband with others and compromise?"

Wang An paused, turned to look at Xiaodong and said, "But it doesn't matter. What matters is your heart. If you can't get along with him, then no matter how good he is, it will be in vain."

Xiaodong felt that Wang An didn't tell all the reasons.

There must be something else, perhaps a more important reason.Otherwise, there are plenty of reliable people. With the power of Prince An's Mansion, it is possible for the other party not to accept concubines and maidservants——

"But, father... do you think Zong Zhengsi will agree to this marriage if it happens? What will other people think of you and brother? And the empress dowager, the emperor..."

"Those are trivial details." Wang An stroked her hair: "As long as you live well, everything else is easy."

------------

I really don't want to find a wife for Zhao Lu... woo woo woo~~ tears run~~~ But if I don't find him, Xiaodong can't marry~~
It's almost the end of the month, and the month only has 28 days.

Uh, ask for a ticket.
