At the right time, Xie Zijin returned to Xie's Mansion.
Li Qin accompanied Xie Zijin all the way and turned around after Xie Zijin entered the gate of Xie's Mansion.
Mrs. Sun was worried about her daughter coming home late, and waited for her return in Xie Zijin's yard. As soon as the mother and daughter met, Mrs. Sun smiled and asked: "Zijin, what good things happened today? Why are you so happy?"
Xie Zijin: "..."
How could she be happy?
It's obvious that Li Qin has annoyed me all the way!
Xie Zijin pursed his lips and said, "It's nothing."
For some reason, she didn't want to mention Li Qin's name in front of Sun.
It's a pity that she didn't mention it. Sun always liked to mention it: "You, don't be angry all the time. Don't miss a good man like Li Qin. He has been waiting for you, and he is already twenty-three years old."
Oh, do you really want him to wait until next year? In my opinion, the marriage should be decided this year. It’s just right to get married at the age of eighteen next year. A Luo also got married at the age of eighteen..."
Sun Shi glanced at the change in Xie Zijin's expression as he spoke.
In the past, Xie Zijin would get upset whenever he mentioned these things. Why didn't he fall out now?
Could it be that Xie Zijin has been moved?
Sun's eyes lit up and she continued to persuade her: "Zijin, you don't want to get married early because you don't want to be a housewife and be distracted by the trivial matters of your husband's family. Li Qin's mother is not a mean person.
Waiting for gentleness and kindness.”
Fang Ruomeng has a gentle temperament and gets along well with Sheng Fu's mother-in-law. Sheng Fu often praises her mother-in-law in front of her.
Xie Zijin remained silent, listening to Mrs. Sun praising Fang Ruomeng again and again: "...Last time, Mrs. Fang came to Xie's house as a guest and told me that she likes smart and capable girls. The future daughter-in-law is in the court.
Being an official is what she wants!"
"It seems that there is no more suitable marriage than the Li family!"
Xie Zijin rubbed his eyebrows: "Mom, I'm tired. If you have anything to say, I'll talk to you tomorrow."
Xie Zijin did not say categorically that she would not marry today, but allowed her to talk for so long. Sun was satisfied, and smiled and told her to rest early, and then left with a smile on her face.
Xie Zijin took a shower and changed clothes, then lay down on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Li Qin's face kept shaking in his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh.
The spring breeze ruffles a pool of spring water, making it no longer calm.
…
After this day, Li Qin and Xie Zijin met again. Xie Zijin no longer rejected people from thousands of miles away, and his attitude changed subtly.
Li Qin's mind was sharp, and he quickly noticed Xie Zijin's softening attitude, and immediately took the next step: "When will I come to propose marriage?"
Xie Zijin was angry and funny, and rolled his eyes at him: "When did I agree to marry you? Just wait!"
Li Qin's eyes were full of smiles and he responded seriously: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Xie Zijin: "..."
Xie Zijin, who was always sharp-tongued, was sometimes speechless.
The two of them had their own errands on weekdays, especially Xie Zijin, who held an important position and was much busier than Li Qin. Li Qin simply waited outside the palace gate every day and sent Xie Zijin back to the palace when she left the palace.
This went on for several months.
It was the twelfth lunar month, the weather was freezing, and a thin layer of snow fell that night.
Sheng Luo said casually: "It's snowing tonight, so don't leave the palace, just rest in the guest room!"
Xie Zijin said: "My parents wait for me to return home every night. If I don't go back, they will always be worried. I'd better go back!"
Li Qin waited at the palace gate every night to see Xie Zijin and send her back to the palace. Who didn't know?
Sheng Luo suppressed her smile and said seriously: "In that case, I won't keep you here. You'd better get out of the palace quickly, lest anyone worry about you."
Xie Zijin's face turned red when he was teased, and he pretended to calmly excuse himself.
Sheng Luo returned to the dormitory with a smile and told her husband-in-law this interesting story: "...Zijin's blushing look is really interesting. I think good things for the two of them are coming soon."
Lu Tianyou also laughed: "I also look forward to drinking their wedding wine as soon as possible."
They are deeply in love as husband and wife, and they also want to see the lovers around them get married eventually.
…
The wind was bitterly cold and there was snow in the wind.
Xie Zijin and Li Qin were sitting opposite each other in a spacious carriage. There were charcoal basins and palace lanterns in the carriage, as well as tea and snacks, as well as chessboards and books to pass the time.
Whether intentionally or not, the carriage drove smoothly and slowly. At this speed, it would not reach Xie's residence in less than half an hour.
Xie Zijin took a sip of hot tea, his beautiful face blushed due to the steaming heat, and asked half teasingly: "What benefits did you promise to the coachman?"
Li Qin raised his thick eyebrows and said with a leisurely smile: "The coachman is not stupid, how dare you accept the benefits from your future uncle!"
Xie Zijin smiled and spat at him: "Shameless! Whose future uncle are you? Why didn't I know?"
Li Qin smiled lowly and reached out to hold Xie Zijin's cold hand.
Xie Zijin's face turned red, as beautiful as the peach blossoms in March. She did not pull back her hand, but raised her eyes and asked Li Qin: "Li Qin, when Princess Duanrong married someone else, were you very sad?"
Li Qin did not avoid the question: "Yes."
"She was the girl I fell in love with when I first fell in love. She was gentle and lovely. I always thought I would marry her. Knowing that she was going to marry into the Chu family was like a bolt from the blue to me. That year, I became ill.
After one incident, the scientific examination was also greatly affected, and I almost failed."
"I didn't want to stay in the capital, so I sought a job abroad and left the capital to take up a post. If it weren't for you, I might have continued my job abroad and would not have returned to Beijing."
"Zijin, what happened in the past is in the past. If you miss it, it doesn't belong to me anymore. I don't need to regret it anymore."
"Now, I only have you in my eyes and heart."
Those bright black eyes were frank and sincere.
Xie Zijin's heartstrings were like a piano, and they were quietly shaken. After a long time, she said softly: "Li Qin, you can find an official matchmaker to go to the Xie family to propose marriage!"
…
The next spring, Li Qin and Xie Zijin finally got engaged.
Thanks to the Empress Fengzhi for granting the marriage, this marriage is truly honorable.
The ladies in the capital felt sour in their hearts, and they gossiped behind their backs about anything. For example, "The Li family worked hard to marry the Xie family in order to please the queen," and "Now they are very proud of themselves. Such a powerful daughter-in-law is really great."
If you get married, you will have a happy life" and so on.
Fang Ruomeng was extremely happy when he got what he wanted. Occasionally he would hear such harsh words and laugh them off without taking them to heart at all.
What happened to awesome?
She would be happy to have a capable and capable daughter-in-law!
No matter how powerful she is, she still likes it. She is happy to suffer! What does it have to do with others?
Those who say mean things are simply jealous, envious and jealous!
Fang Ruomeng himself was busy with a lot of things, and rarely stayed in the inner house on weekdays. He often met Xie Zijin when he entered the palace. The future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, one friendly and kind, the other polite and respectful, attracted a lot of ladies who wanted to watch the fun.
disappointment.
The imaginary battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the expected fight between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, is not there at all!
