Chapter 65 You have to be like everyone else
A few dark clouds drifted low.
Muffled thunder came, and the first heavy rain of this summer came.
The rain wet Xiao Baojing's thin dress. She sneezed, carried the hemp rope, and returned to the boudoir like a wandering spirit.
Xiao Baojing fell ill.
The next day, Zhu's mother sent someone to ask for leave from the academy, and took care of her at the bedside worriedly: "How come you are sick when you are fine?"
Xiao Baojing's face was pale, with a sickly flush on his cheeks.
She was irritated last night when she saw a woman's head being pulled off, and she was caught in the rain. Can she not get sick?
Seeing her weakly coughing a few times, Zhu's mother sighed: "You are not smart to begin with. You are sick today and have fallen behind on your homework. How will you keep up with the progress in the future! You too, you are such an adult, why can't you take care of yourself?"
Faced with her accusation, Xiao Baojing remained silent.
She actually doesn't want to get sick.
"I'll ask someone to cut some fruit and bring it in." Zhu's mother tucked the quilt for her, "What does Yingtai want to eat?"
Xiao Baojing thought of the crisp green peaches he saw in the academy yesterday, and said in a hoarse voice: "I want to eat peaches."
"Why are you eating peaches?" Zhu's mother shook her head, "Eat pears. Eating pears is good for your health."
She asked someone to cut the pears, and then asked with concern: "What do you want to eat for lunch? Mom asked the kitchen to cook it for you."
"Want to eat fish."
"Fish is not delicious. Neither your father nor I like it. Eat duck. Mom will ask the kitchen to make sweet-scented osmanthus duck for you."
"..."
Seeing Xiao Baojing's silence, Zhu's mother said softly: "I heard from Tong'er that you met Mr. Ma in the academy yesterday. How was it? Isn't he a talented and suave person? You must admire him very much, right?"
Xiao Baojing was tired of her asking questions: "Whether I admire you or not, isn't this marriage settled? Can you still allow me to go back on my word?"
"You can't say that. Even if you don't like him, you will slowly like him after you get married."
"But he doesn't like me either. He also has his sweetheart."
"Why doesn't he like you? He must like you! Even if he doesn't like you now, he will definitely like you when you get married and have children in the future. The relationship between husband and wife needs to be cultivated. Your father and I That’s how we came here. Just listen to us. We are the closest people to you in the world. Could we still harm you?”
"What if it can't be cultivated?"
"No! You believe my mother, as long as we get married, we will definitely develop feelings. This is how everyone has been here! Yingtai, you have to be like everyone else!"
Zhu's mother's tone was very gentle, like the best loving mother in the world.
But when Xiao Baojing raised his eyes, he saw that her wooden face was densely covered with words:
——Don’t talk back!
——No disobedience!
——You are not allowed to have your own ideas!
——You must do what we ask to be considered filial!
——If you generate your own will, then you are no longer our daughter!
"It's getting late," Zhu's mother moved gently, tucking the quilt tightly around her neck, "Yingtai, you have a good rest, it's time for me to go to bed."
Xiao Baojing couldn't sleep.
She once strayed into Forget Garden, which was also the territory of monsters. Many people died in the garden, which was even more dangerous than Die Manor.
And although there was no killing here, it made her even more disgusted and suffocated.
She hid under the quilt and curled up into a ball secretly.
Xiao Baojing slept in a daze until noon, when he suddenly heard Tong'er come in and say: "Miss, Mr. Liang has come to propose marriage!"
Salesman?
Xiao Baojing struggled to sit up: "He is really here?!"
She ripped off the towel on her forehead and hurried to the front hall regardless of her high fever.
All kinds of brocade boxes were piled up in the front hall, and even the yard was piled up. The jewels were shining like gold and silver, as if the entire treasure had been moved here.
Tong'er: "Miss, this is the betrothal gift brought by Mr. Liang!"
Xiao Baojing: "..."
Is this scene in "Butterfly Lovers"?
Where is the promised scholar from a poor family?
The salesman was sitting opposite Zhu's father and mother.
Seeing her coming in, the salesman narrowed his fox eyes and said, "I'm here to marry you." The young man's tenderness was like the spring breeze blowing the willow branches.
Xiao Baojing's already flushed cheeks turned even redder.
Remembering that she was in the midst of a plot, she suppressed her complicated emotions and followed the example of a boudoir lady. She bowed to her father and blessed her mother with a gift: "Father, mother!"
The word "furious" was written on Zhu's father's face: "In short, I will not marry my daughter to you!"
Xiao Baojing stepped forward and picked up the seller's betrothal gift list.
Good guy, there are ninety-nine gold mines, ninety-nine silver mines, ten thousand dendrobiums of pearls in the East Sea, a Dragon Palace in the West Sea, thousands of miles of territory in the land of nothingness, fairy islands in the North Sea, brocade cloth dyed with sunlight, ancient magic weapons, and the Big Dipper. Stars, demon-beckoning flags...
Fake it!
This person really dares to write!
The CEO wouldn’t even dare to write this about the betrothal gift in his article!
Zhu's father also stared at the betrothal gift list.
Although he still had an angry posture, the words "Oh my god, it's a lot of money," written clearly on his wooden face, but marrying my daughter to him means I'm bowing my head. How can I bow my head as the head of the family?"
Xiao Baojing looked at him curiously and suddenly closed the betrothal gift list.
The word on Zhu's father's face suddenly changed to "furious" again.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Xiao Baojing unfolded the betrothal gift list.
Zhu's father said: "Oh my God, it's a lot of money, but doesn't marrying my daughter to him mean that I'm bowing my head? How can I bow my head as the head of the family?"
Xiao Baojing closed the betrothal gift list.
Zhu Fu: "furious".
After going back and forth three or five times, Zhu's father started banging the table and shouting: "Since ancient times, marriage matters have been dictated by the parents and the matchmaker. How can you make the decision yourself?! You are just being stubborn and shameless! Get him out! Get him out!" Get out!”
Xiao Baojing bit her handkerchief and followed the plot conscientiously: "No! Mr. Liang, I can't let you go! I don't want to be separated from you!"
The maids grabbed her and dragged her back to the boudoir.
Xiao Baojing sent Tong'er out to inquire about the news. Tong'er soon came back to report: "Master Liang was kicked out. I heard that he was beaten miserably!"
Xiao Baojing holds his chin.
People like salesmen look dull, but in fact they are full of evil.
He shouldn't let himself suffer too much, right?
Having said that, will being beaten in a dream affect reality?
If the salesman dies in the dream according to the plot, will he also die in reality?
The more Xiao Baojing thought about it, the more worried he became, and decided to sneak out of the house at night to see the salesman.
At night, she sneaked to the base of the wall. Before she could start climbing, countless torches suddenly appeared around her.
Zhu's mother appeared surrounded by maids and women, and choked with sobs: "Yingtai, are you trying to escape from the marriage?!"
"Ah?" Xiao Baojing scratched his head, "I..."
Seeing her hesitating and unable to speak, Zhu's mother cried even harder: "Your father and I worked hard to raise you, how can you disobey us?!"
Zhu's mother took Xiao Baojing back to the boudoir, pressed her in front of the bronze mirror, and said earnestly: "Look at you, your appearance is so ugly, far inferior to other people's children, but your father and I have never disliked it. After you, we will always love you the most in the world, but how can you not listen to us?”
"But——"
"Shut up!" Zhu's mother sobbed, "How wonderful it is to get married with the Ma family. If you are the right match, you will enjoy happiness after marrying him! I am begging you as my mother, just be obedient and marry him!"
After she finished speaking, she suddenly knelt down to Xiao Baojing without caring: "Mother, please, please marry him!"
Xiao Baojing's pupils suddenly narrowed.
She was like a frightened shrimp, instantly ejected and jumped onto the stool!
Although I know that the woman in front of me is a monster, this behavior is too scary!
Her face was pale, she looked at Zhu's mother defensively, and trembled: "There are no slaves in New New New China, you, you, you, don't be like this... Forget it, me, me, me, I'll kowtow to you!"
She jumped off the stool, knelt down opposite Zhu's mother like a risk, and quickly kowtowed!
