"This old man must have done it intentionally. He just doesn't want to see poor families celebrating the New Year!" When the embarrassment on his face was blown away by the spring breeze, Han Qing was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
He has now completely integrated with the angry youth Han Jiajun, and his body and soul are no longer troubled by anything. However, there are some things that he still hasn't thought clearly about how to face them.
The marriage contract made at a young age is one of them.
After temporarily getting rid of the threat of the Red Lotus Sect, Han Qing once tried hard to recall all the things between "himself" and his fiancée. However, except for the face of a girl who was eight or nine years old and a few letters, almost all the rest were...
blank.
And those letters were sent to him by Zhou Min through the official post when he was kicked to Jinniu Village for inspection.
Later, partly because he didn't know how to reply to the letter, and partly because he began to flee for his life and had no fixed place to live, the two sides stopped even writing letters, let alone further understanding and communication.
What made him even more depressed was that Zhou Min's letter to him was almost full of words of encouragement from beginning to end.
Encourage him not to give up on himself just because of a single blow. Encourage him not to forget to cultivate his moral character even when he is in a remote place.
Encourage him to find opportunities to take part in the imperial examination and pass the imperial examination to make up for the regret of being kicked out of Imperial College before graduating.
Encourage him to be a manly man and have ambitions in all directions...
In short, if you were to draw a picture of Zhou Min now in your mind, Han Qing would definitely be drawing Xue Baochai in Dream of Red Mansions.
Xue Baochai has strong abilities, is good at housekeeping, has a long-term vision, profound knowledge, a prominent family background, and is perfect in all aspects.
The problem is that Jia Baoyu in Dream of Red Mansions likes to lose his temper and shed tears at every turn. Like him, Sister Lin has no ability to survive alone.
It's not because Jia Baoyu is too mean. When the choice is in the hands of other men, the result is probably the same.
In Han Qing's previous life, when he was young, he didn't understand why Jia Baoyu didn't like Xue Baochai, but after he turned thirty, he suddenly understood.
What a man is looking for is a wife, not a business partner. And a woman with Xue Baochai's qualifications is more suitable to be a business partner than an ordinary couple!
Therefore, after settling down again, the last thing Han Qing wanted to hear was about his fiancée.
The presence of Xu Ziling, a female literary youth, already made him feel very sorry for Dou Rong. If there was another Zhou Min who was supposed to be his first wife, he would probably feel so guilty that he could not be ashamed of himself.
"This old guy is so bad! No wonder Li Jihe treats him with respect and distance!" After another curse in his mouth, Han Qing walked to where he was handling official business with a heavy heart.
He knew that there were some things that he didn't want to face and would have to face them sooner or later.
Since I inherited Han Jiajun's body, connections and family background, and enjoyed the convenience brought by this body, connections and family background, I have the obligation to inherit the other party's responsibilities.
And ending this marriage perfectly is one of the responsibilities.
After thinking about it, Han Qing found that maybe it would be the best choice for him to stop by Bianliang on his way to Qingzhou for his appointment as Kou Zhun suggested.
On the one hand, you can meet the grandfather of the previous owner of the body and fulfill your filial piety as someone else's grandson.
On the other hand, you can also try to ask Li Ji and the old general to take action and mention it to the fiancée's family so that they can take the initiative to cancel the engagement.
According to his understanding, in the Song Dynasty, etiquette had just begun to sprout. Neither the officials nor the people cared much about the fact that a woman was once engaged but then broke off the engagement.
A very typical example is that the official family of the Song Dynasty today married the ex-wife of a silversmith. This was after the two parties got married and then reconciled.
Among the high-ranking officials, there are also several who are married to beautiful middle-aged women who have made peace with each other.
As for him, he and Zhou Min had only been engaged to each other by the adults of the two families since he was a child. When he became an adult, he found that the two of them were not suitable, and the woman took the initiative to give up. The negative impact on the woman should be very small.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, something serious has happened. A woman named Zhou came to you and claimed to be your fiancée. My third sister and sister Ziling immediately started fighting with her!" In Han Qing's heart!
Just when he had made up his mind and was about to break off the engagement, Dou Sha's anxious shouting suddenly sounded from behind him.
"What?" Han Qing's legs suddenly softened, and he almost fell to the ground.
He finally understood why Kou Zhun's eyes were so weird when he turned to leave just now. I'm afraid the old guy had heard before that his fiancée Zhou Min had traveled thousands of miles to look for her husband!
"Brother-in-law, be careful!" Dou Sha had quick hands and quick eyes. He stepped forward and held Han Qing's arm. But before Han Qing could stand firm, he quickly added, "That woman looks very fierce, and she has her maids and servants with her. Hurry over there.
, Otherwise, I'm afraid that my third sister and Zi Ling will suffer at her hands! Brother-in-law, you won't let my third sister down! My third sister, I gave my life to you..."
"No!" Han Qing tried hard to steady her body and shook her head seriously, "I promised you the third sister, and I will never go back on it!"
After saying that, he threw off Dou Sha's arm and strode towards his temporary residence in Chang'an City.
I thought that when I got home, even if no action was taken, there would be a lot of noise inside. Unexpectedly, everyone rushed into the yard, but still didn't hear any dispute.
"Master!" The maids and servants invited temporarily came forward to say hello one by one, and then hurriedly evaded, fearing that they would be in trouble if they were not careful.
Han Qing calmed down a little, nodded gently to the maids and servants, and then followed the hints in their eyes and walked quickly to the main hall of the home.
Summer has not yet entered, and the spring breeze is vaguely cool. However, the door of the main hall is wide open. As soon as his feet stepped onto the steps, Han Qing took a clear look at the situation inside.
.
Dou Rong, Xu Ziling, and a girl who was slightly shorter than Dou Rong but not inferior to Xu Ziling in appearance were sitting around a square table sipping tea. Everyone had a look of caution on their faces.
smile.
Unfortunately, Han Qing didn't even have a formal wife in his last life. Now he has three of them, and each of them looks unpleasant. How could he not suddenly have a big head?
However, now that things have come to a point, if he extends his head, it is a knife, and if he shrinks his head, it is also a knife. Even if he feels frightened again, he can only continue to move forward.
First, he cast a gentle look at Dou Rong to express his apology. Then he stood firm, quickly turned his gaze to the strange woman, and politely held his hand, "This is Han Qing, may I ask..."
"Zhou Min has met Brother Han Shi. I have written you nine letters in total, but you haven't replied to any of them!" The strange woman stood up with a smile and returned her bow with her hands folded, "So, I had to find it myself. But
, you don’t have to worry, the two of them and I have just reached an agreement."
Without waiting for Han Qing to express her position, she quickly looked at Dou Rong and Xu Ziling, and then added with a smile, "I know that you no longer have a place for me in your heart. So, let me ask you three questions. If you can answer them, I will
Turn around and leave! After returning to Bianliang, tell your father immediately and ask him to help me break off the engagement!"
"This? That's good!" Unexpectedly, the other party was so refreshing. All the rhetoric and routines prepared by Han Qing were of no use in an instant. He was stunned for seven or eight breaths before solemnly nodding his head, "Just follow this.
Girl, I'm sorry, Han didn't mean to let me down."
"There is nothing to be sorry for. When I wrote to encourage you, I didn't want people to criticize me and add insult to injury! I also didn't want my family to get a bad reputation for nothing." Zhou Min smiled and waved his hands calmly, "I have already written the question.
It’s on paper, and I’d like Brother Han to take a look at it!”
After saying that, she turned around, took out an envelope generously, and handed it to Han Qing with both hands.
'You only need to answer three questions to break off the engagement?' The twists and turns were so drastic that Han Qing couldn't believe her ears and eyes. Deep in her heart, she vaguely felt that a similar scene seemed to have been seen in that TV series
Passed. However, for a while, I couldn't remember it.
"Maybe she didn't like me in the first place! After all, we haven't seen each other since we grew up." Secretly cheering himself up, he took the envelope with a smile and quickly took out the "exam paper" inside.
.
When he saw the first question, his body instantly shook again, as if struck by lightning.
"The long rolling river flows eastward. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to change the river into a river?"
After calming down for a moment, he raised his head and looked at Zhou Min, who happened to be looking at him with a smile. Their eyes met in mid-air, and immediately, they both saw a bit of anticipation in each other's eyes.
Quickly lowering his head and looking at the second question, Han Qing's heart suddenly started beating like a drum again.
The question was surprisingly, "What is the ratio of black powder to one, two, and three?"
In an instant, he realized that the other person might be the same kind as himself. He tried to stay calm and turned his attention to the third question, but his hands were shaking slightly uncontrollably.
The third question is simpler, but divided into two parts: "At the head of Orange Island, the mountains are red and the jungle is dyed. What is the next sentence?"
"When Brother Shi comes, how can Kyushu be rounded?!"
