Chapter 33 Marriage
Qiu Heng has a good memory and still remembers the malice in Cui Er's smile and his unconvinced expression when Xue Han pressed him to apologize.
When he asked to marry her, was he planning to marry her back so that he could take revenge?
How could there be such a boring person? It's really a shame to be close to the ink.
"Grandpa, the Second Young Master Cui and Han Ziheng are good friends."
Uncle Yongqing raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: "Really?"
When discussing marriage, adults only consider life status and family interests. At most, they pay attention to the age of the other party. How could they know such a detailed way?
In fact, I don’t care if I understand.
Thinking of this, Uncle Yongqing did not hesitate.
Han Wu's case has not been closed yet because the criminal who assassinated him has not been found, but almost everyone should be killed. Deputy Cui is in command, and they are not in the same yamen.
"The Cui family is a good family in Beijing..."
Qiu Heng saw Uncle Yongqing's thoughts and asked directly: "Grandpa, do you want to agree to this marriage?"
Her tone was not soft, and Uncle Yongqing could naturally tell.
When there are no outsiders, they are not like a pair of grandparents, but more like people talking about business.
The buyer stands high and waits to see what the seller can offer to satisfy him.
It was Anshenxiang before, but now he wants to see what it is.
"Don't you want Heng'er?"
The girl smiled sweetly: "Of course I don't want to."
"Why?"
"Although the Cui family is a good family, it is just a good family. My granddaughter thinks I can marry someone better."
For people like Uncle Yongqing, there is no point in pretending to be nice and clever. Only similar people will make him listen.
"Marry someone better?" Uncle Yongqing was first moved, and then laughed loudly, "Hey, Heng'er, why do you think you can marry someone better?"
The laughter echoed in Qiu Heng's ears. There was no kindness, only greed.
Qiu Heng thought, if not for those ten years of adventure, Ah Heng, who was just a country girl, would have been so desperate right now.
Fortunately she is not.
Having seen the devastation of troubled times, she has long understood that all good things without the ability to protect themselves are as fragile as glass.
A little pain, a little suffering, it's nothing, it's much better than relying on others to protect you.
Uncle Yongqing was still saying: "You have five sisters. In terms of character, they studied etiquette since childhood, and you grew up in the mountains. In terms of origin, they all have parents, but you lost your mother when you were young. In terms of appearance, you are indeed Slightly better, but when it comes to marriage, appearance is the least important thing. Heng'er, tell me what makes you better than your sisters. Can you marry better?"
When Uncle Yongqing said these words, he was not trying to hurt his granddaughter, but rather holding some expectations.
He already has five well-behaved and obedient granddaughters, and there is no shortage of them. This granddaughter who didn't look like a granddaughter was what surprised him the most.
It's a pity that she was born late, otherwise she would be far more suitable to enter the palace than the elder girl.
Uncle Yongqing became upset when he thought of his eldest granddaughter who went on a hunger strike because she wanted to enter the palace.
That girl is stupid. She has been sitting on the bench for many years after entering the palace, wasting the good opportunity he fought for back then.
Thinking of this, Uncle Yongqing became more pleased with the little granddaughter in front of him.
"Just because -" Qiu Heng met Uncle Yongqing's eyes, "just because my granddaughter grew up in the countryside and lost her mother when she was young. After more than a month in Beijing, a good family like the Cui family came to ask for marriage."< br>
She smiled: "Grandpa, don't you think it's a mistake to marry me off like this? My granddaughter is only fifteen years old."
Uncle Yongqing had to admit that this little girl was very good at manipulating people's hearts.
Yes, she was only fifteen years old, and she already knew how to fly to the branches with all her strength, instead of just caring about food and clothing like those silly girls.
As this girl said, the Cui family is not bad, but only good.
It's still early, just wait.
After convincing Uncle Yongqing, Qiu Heng breathed a sigh of relief.
This is best. If Uncle Yongqing insists on agreeing, he will have to think of another way.
"Grandpa, this is a new soothing incense I made after adjusting the formula based on your recent sleep situation. You can try it." "Okay, grandpa, try it."
Qiu Heng got rid of an unexpected marriage, and soon heard that the Xiping Houfu wanted to marry the second girl Qiu Xuan.
"Go and invite the four sisters to Lengxiangju and treat them to snacks."
Just as Qiu Heng expected, the topic among the sisters soon turned to Qiu Xuan's marriage.
"Second sister, is your marriage about to be decided?" Qiu Ying asked curiously.
Qiuxuan's cheeks were slightly red: "Such a delicious snack can't stop your mouth."
"Oh, second sister, this is a major marriage matter, how can you be so calm?"
"You also know that marriage is a major matter, and parents and elders have their own considerations."
"No." As soon as Qiu Heng opened his mouth, he attracted the attention of several people.
Qiu Xuan had confusion in her eyes.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Although she only spent a short time with Liu Mei, she could tell that Liu Mei was not a meddlesome person.
"Our parents and elders have different considerations than us, and even our parents and grandparents have different considerations. But we are the ones who want to marry and live our whole lives. How can we not think about our own marriage?"
Qiu Xuan was silent.
Qiu Fu couldn't help but nod.
Although Sixth Sister is average, there is some truth in what she said.
Qiu Yun said: "But what if we consider it?"
It is not up to them to decide whether it will succeed or not.
"Isn't there a lot of people who like each other? You can look at the other person's appearance, age, speech and behavior, and you can also inquire about the other person's character. The second uncle and the second uncle's mother love the second sister. Wouldn't they agree to see each other before making a decision? See?”
Qiu Heng couldn't tell about Qiu Xuan's drowning after getting married. She couldn't even say that the marriage was not good because she wasn't sure either.
The fate of the daughters of the Qiu family was only briefly mentioned, and she had no idea which family Qiu Xuan's husband belonged to.
Who can guarantee that it is the Xipinghou Mansion?
All she could do was to remind Qiu Xuan to inquire more and see more, no matter which family came to ask for marriage.
"Sixth sister is right." Qiu Xuan stopped blushing and became more solemn.
After sending the four sisters away, Qiu Heng thought for a while, packed a box of red bean cakes and some banknotes, and left the uncle's house on the pretext of buying spices.
If Qiu Xuan can delay the marriage by looking at each other, maybe she can do something besides reminding her.
The storm of Han Wu's assassination had not yet subsided, and there were far more officers and soldiers from various government offices on the street than usual. Qiu Heng soon saw people from the Imperial City Division.
One of them is obviously the leader and should be able to contact Xue Han.
"My lord, please stay."
The young man paused and looked at the girl who made the noise: "Who are you?"
When did he meet such a beautiful little lady?
Qiu Heng held the food box with a calm expression: "I'm looking for Mr. Xue."
"Are you looking for us adults?" The young man was even more surprised.
When did they adults know such a beautiful little lady?
"Master Xue did me a little favor before and made some snacks for him at home."
"Ah, I know!" The young man slapped his forehead and pointed at Qiu Heng excitedly, "You are the one, the red bean cake!"
Qiu Heng:?
"Wait!"
Then I saw the young man running away and disappearing in a flash.
Qiu Heng silently looked down at the food box in his hand, lost in thought.
Thanks to iampetty for the 10,000 coins, and thanks to the book friends who rewarded and voted.
