There are precedents in the history of the Red Chamber

"I'm getting married." Ji Mudan said.

"Get married? You want to get married, but I'm not ready yet. I'm going to take the Jinshi examination next spring. When I win the Jinshi, I'll marry you in a good way, okay?" Shi Zhongzhu thought to himself. Have you met the ancient version of Hate Marriage?

"Brother Zhu, I'm getting married, I'm getting married!" Ji Mudan said in a deep voice.

Only then did Shi Zhongzhu come to his senses, "You are going to get married, who are you going to marry, how did you get married? Is Shi Weng forcing you?" Shi Zhongzhu asked again and again.

"It's my father. Yesterday, my father wrote a letter and said that he is engaged to me. He is the son of the Nanchong County Registrar. The marriage has already been made, and the wedding date is set in August."

"What? How could Uncle do this? What did Shi Weng say? Doesn't he object?" Shi Zhongzhu asked.

"Grandpa never approved of us. He just loves me and is willing to let me try. He said a long time ago that I will regret it." Ji Mudan cried.

"Then do you regret it?"

"me……"

"Peony, as long as you don't want to, I will take you away. I will take you to meet my parents. They will agree to our marriage. Marriage, is that good?" Shi Zhongzhu's heart sank slowly, and he said silently: I must agree.

"No, I can't." Ji Mudan shook her head and cried.

"Why not, why not? Asking a sage to be a matchmaker to give you a marriage will not damage your reputation, and I will get what I want. Why not? Or, do you really regret it?"

Ji Mudan cried bitterly, and calmed down a bit, "Brother Zhu, Daddy is right in what he said—Qi Dafei, we are not suitable. Didn't you know yesterday, I will never think like you , I can only think about ordinary life, but you are going to help others, thinking about the common people in the world, I am not good enough for you, you will find someone better."

Shi Zhongzhu did not expect that the words rejected by people for thousands of years are the same, "You are a good person, I am not good enough for you, you will find better ones", fuck the best, don't you just want to dump me ?

"Peony, you are not unworthy of me. If there is anything you don't understand, let's work hard together, shall we?"

"Like that night, I can't live a life of assassins at any time!"

"I've only met one assassin when I grew up, how can someone come to assassinate me every day, not to mention that I have guards by my side." Shi Zhongzhu explained, and asked, "Peony, do you blame me for hurting you? "

"I'm not blaming you for implicating me, but you will surely become a powerful person in the future. This kind of thing cannot be avoided. Isn't it because of danger that you carry guards with you? Daddy is right, I can't live like that .” Ji Mudan shook her head and smiled wryly.

"Peony, Uncle has good intentions, and is afraid that you will suffer, but you understand, I sincerely ask you to marry me, and I will protect you, and I don't think any master's son can be better than me!" Shi Zhongzhu insisted.

Ji Mudan has completely stabilized her emotions, wiped away her tears and said, "Of course the master's son is not as good as you. He is eighteen years old and is just a scholar. You are younger than him, but you have already become famous all over the world, but he is the most suitable person." mine."

"Is it uncle's idea or yours, Mudan, the life is your own, uncle can't live it for you."

"That's what I mean." Ji Mudan said firmly.

"Really?" Shi Zhongzhu asked softly, and he didn't know whether he was asking himself or Ji Mudan, "Peony, I told you, in my life, I'd like to win the hearts of the one, and the white heads will never be apart." The woman in my life, you are the only one in my life, let's grow old together and grow old together, okay?"

Ji Mudan stood up from the seat, opened the distance between them and said, "Brother Zhu, I am very grateful for your kindness, but why do you have to be alone? I am not a jealous person. When it is inconvenient, someone Serving you is fine, but if I am really jealous, how will my daughter get married as a sister in the family? Besides, I will grow older and no longer suitable for childbearing. You are also a medical student. Do you want me to marry you? Taking the risk to have children? If you have a concubine, you will still recognize me as your mother, who will be the help of my own son in the future, why not do it?"

Shi Zhongzhu seemed to have never known Ji Mudan, it was hard to imagine that such words came from her mouth, who is Ji Mudan, she is a strange woman who disguised herself as a man and practiced medicine to save people!She is a real person who is independent and strong, forming her own personality, how could this be?

"She must have deliberately said it to hurt me in order to cancel the engagement!" Shi Zhongzhu said to himself, "I will not be deceived, Mudan is not such a person."

"Peony, is what you said true?" Shi Zhongzhu stared closely at Ji Mudan's eyes, trying to find traces of her lying to himself, "Peony, do you really think so? Did you come here to risk your life to have children?"

"Don't you mean that?" Ji Mudan asked back, "Brother Zhu, I know, you must have not thought of this problem, you are still too young, you have not thought of it."

【No!I thought about it, my wife is getting old in the future, I would rather take sterilization pills myself than let my loved one take risks!But you don't believe me! ] These words echoed in Shi Zhongzhu's mind, but he suddenly felt that there was no need for him to say them.

"So, you asked me out today, do you want to break off the engagement with me?" Shi Zhongzhu asked in a deep voice.

"Yeah, actually speaking, we don't have a formal marriage contract. You haven't met my parents, and I haven't met the Hou Ye and his wife. Shi Hou Ye doesn't approve of you marrying me, so he wrote to me." Father." Ji Mudan told the reason why Jihuashi quickly made a marriage contract.

Hope rose in Shi Zhongzhu's heart, did his father threaten Jivas?Peony really didn't want to separate from me from her heart!

"I'll write to my father..." Shi Zhongzhu hurriedly came up with an idea.

"No need, Master Shi didn't coerce daddy as you thought. Even if Lord Shihou agreed to this marriage, daddy would not agree to it. Dad entered the imperial examination, and the most important thing is to clear his name. Such a disparity in status is like clinging to him." Daddy won't agree to a marriage." Ji Mudan told him, "We have nothing to do with each other, let's call it a day."

"What is fate?" Seeing that Ji Mudan was about to leave, Shi Zhongzhu grabbed her arm. Seeing this, the maid woman next to her was about to step forward to stop her. Ji Mudan waved her right hand slightly, stopped the servant, and turned around. To: "Brother Zhu, don't you understand? Your parents and I don't agree with this marriage, so what's the point?"

"What about you?" Shi Zhongzhu asked, "What about you, don't you agree?"

Ji Mudan closed her eyes, took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, opened her eyes and said, "Yes, I don't agree either."

"Then why did you promise me back then? You promised you back then." Shi Zhongzhu shouted loudly.

"It was you who forced me to ask the question!" Ji Mudan also screamed back, and after she reacted, she looked around and saw that no one came to the river in the morning, so she was slightly relieved, "Brother Zhu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean you What forced me was that I was wrong at the time, thinking that we could do it, but it turns out that we are not suitable."

"why?"

"Qi Da is not even."

After simply saying the last four words, Ji Mudan, accompanied by the maidservant, got into the carriage and left without looking back.

Nanshan and six guards surrounded him. The six guards stood guard outside the gazebo, and Nanshan came to Shi Zhongzhu's side alone.Ever since the assassination incident happened, Nanshan followed Shi Zhongzhu every step of the way. If he went out, at least six guards would accompany him.

Nan Shan approached, and whispered worriedly, "Master."

Shi Zhongzhu stared blankly at the Mumen River outside the gazebo, feeling complicated and indistinguishable in his heart.Ever since he decided to marry Ji Mudan, he knew that these things would not be smooth sailing. His parents might object, and the secular world might not understand him. He was ready to deal with all kinds of troubles. Unexpectedly, Ji Mudan was the first to retreat. .Isn't it the dream of all women to be a couple for life?Why did Ji Mudan think it was a burden?

reputation?Virtuous?Jealous?Shi Zhongzhu had promised long ago that he would help her block everything. He lived his life by himself, and no one else could help him live his life.People in the world often say that even if a farmer overcharges by three or five buckets, he still has to keep a maidservant and take in a concubine, but that is only for the farmer.For people in Shi Zhongzhu's class, women are the real "hostesses". There are no more high-ranking officials who fear their wives in history. Only men who have no ability will blindly suppress women.

There are so many women who have been famous for thousands of years. As long as they walk the right path, and see which man suppresses them, everyone praises Mrs. Wei's hairpin and small script.

It's just that there is no need to talk about these.

Seeing that the master was in a trance, Nanshan felt annoyed, "Master, that Ji Mudan doesn't know how to flatter her, why should the master feel sad for her!"

"Don't talk about her like that. She doesn't understand. It's her sorrow, and it's also my sorrow. Okay, go back."

Shi Zhongzhu returned to the yard and looked at the peonies collected in the yard. He planned to give them to Ji Mudan, but ordered Nanshan to break the flower pots and plant them in the yard.

"Nanshan, find a tooth shop, sell the yard, and leave tomorrow." Shi Zhongzhu ordered.

"Yes! Master!" Nan Shan answered energetically. Nan Shan had long wanted to leave the poor place of Guangyuan. The geomantic omen of this place was absolutely incompatible with that of his master. When he first arrived, he encountered an epidemic. Thanks to his good luck, he did not get sick. , but cured the disease.Then I met Ji Mudan again. It wasn't that Nanshan was speaking ill of people behind his back. Ji Mudan was obviously not worthy of the master and couldn't bear the responsibility of the mistress, but the master seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, and he was obsessed with it.Finally, the master let go and wanted to leave, Nanshan hurriedly jumped out and ordered the servants who had bought it for temporary use to pack up, and then went to discuss the itinerary with Master Dong and several guards.

Nanshan's work efficiency is very high, but he found the dental shop in one day, sold the house at a fixed price, dismissed the servants hired for emergency, packed the salutes, and prepared the horses. Wait for departure tomorrow.

Shi Zhongzhu asked Luo Ming to bring a jade pendant to his brother with a slightly disabled leg. This is his token. It is too difficult for a person with a physical defect to live well. If he encounters difficulties, Shi Zhongzhu is willing to give him a way out.

After finishing the miscellaneous matters, Shi Zhongzhu left early in the morning of the next day without saying goodbye to Ji Jing. Meeting such a thing would only increase the embarrassment.

Shi Zhongzhu and his party hurried away. Accompanied by Ji Jing, Ji Mudan came to see the house where Shi Zhongzhu lived. Ji Mudan looked at the peony under the eaves and shed tears.

"Peony, don't blame your father, you are indeed not suitable." Ji Jing persuaded Peony.

"Well, I don't blame you, grandpa. I knew it a long time ago. I don't think well with him. Without my father's letter, sooner or later, sooner or later, that's all. At the beginning, I was unwilling, but now I tried it, so I let it go." .Grandpa, send me to Nanchong to get married, everything is over."
