The group stayed in Jinyang for another five days, and Gu Yanxi spent four of those days hanging out with Zeng Xiangyan's gang. He was rich, generous, and knew all the things that young masters from aristocratic families competed for, and his level was obviously much higher than theirs. It was obvious that his family in the capital must be extraordinary, and they were naturally happy to make friends with such people.
So on the day of his departure, they all came to see him off, wanting to keep some trace of the friendship, and even Yu Weiwei was not left out.
"Are you really leaving? Will you come again in the future?"
Hua Zhi smiled and said, "The capital is not far from here, maybe he will come here someday."
Yu Weiwei knew it was an excuse, but she couldn't point it out, so she just nodded and said, "Remember to come find me next time you come. I can come out even if I'm married. We in Jinyang don't care about that."
"Getting married? Are you getting married?" Hua Zhi was surprised. She had gotten to know Yu Weiwei a little bit these days. The Yu family had only this one daughter, and they were determined to find a son-in-law. It was not that no one came to the house, but Yu Weiwei had a bad temper. However, the Yu family's financial situation was there, so getting married would mean saving decades of hard work and ensuring several lifetimes of wealth. After all, this world was not a man's world, and after getting married, could a woman really control him
There are probably many people who think this way, and there have been many people proposing marriage to her. Unfortunately, Yu Weiwei doesn't like any of them. From the time she was twelve or thirteen years old to now when she is sixteen, she still hasn't found a marriage. People from the side branches of the Yu family have been jumping up and down and have always wanted to adopt someone into the main branch. Even for the sake of the stability of her own family, Yu Weiwei cannot continue to be willful, so it is not surprising that something that had not been settled for several years is suddenly settled.
"We can't let those ruthless people get away with it. We have to choose one anyway, and my cousin won't make a bad choice. The wedding should be after the New Year, and it won't be delayed too long." Yu Weiwei smiled lazily, "I won't take you to drink."
The girl in front of her who was about to get married did not show any joy at all. Hua Zhi looked at her and felt deeply that this society was unfriendly to women. Sometimes women were used by men to complete the task of human reproduction. How lucky she was to meet Yan Xi.
After saying "wait a moment", Hua Zhi found a package from the carriage and took out a jade hairpin from it. This was something she had bought these days because she thought it was good. It was originally intended as a dowry for Hua Ling, but she used it now.
"We have known each other for a long time, please accept this small token of my appreciation, and I wish you happiness."
Yu Weiwei stared blankly at the hairpin that was handed to her. It was obviously very good and must be worth a lot of money. Suddenly, her eyes were red. Happiness, what is happiness? In the eyes of others, her mother was very happy. She was the only one born but she always occupied the position of mistress, and her father treated her well. However, few people knew that it was not that her father did not want to change his wife, but that he knew it was useless to change her.
There are so many women at home and outside, but except her, the legitimate daughter, no one else can give birth to a son or daughter. He is destined to have only this one daughter. With the relationship with the Zeng family, how dare he change her
She had never expected anything from her husband. A man with real integrity would not be a live-in son-in-law. Even if he had to, he would be upset because the live-in son-in-law was inferior to her in everything. How could he be good to her and make her happy? That was such a luxury.
But she accepted this blessing. Yu Weiwei took it, raised her head and smiled with red eyes, "Thank you."
Seeing Yan Xi already climbed onto the horse and was about to get on the carriage, Hua Zhi took a step toward the carriage and stopped, turned around and continued to speak gently, "You are living your life, don't be too hard on yourself, don't force things, if someone likes you, he will like you even if you don't do anything, and if someone doesn't like you, you can praise him to the sky and trample yourself into the mud, but he still won't like you."
Hua Zhi smiled and said, "Only you know the feeling of pain, and only you know how to stop yourself from feeling pain. Weiwei, use your wisdom to be nicer to yourself. If that person is not worthy, then keep all the tenderness for yourself."
Yu Weiwei covered her eyes to prevent others from seeing her tears, and just nodded vigorously, listening to the footsteps gradually fading away, listening to the sound of carriage wheels rolling on the ground, listening to the noise getting farther and farther away until it disappeared.
Zeng Xiangyan was not far away and heard those words. He could understand why his cousin was crying so uncontrollably, and he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. He turned around and winked at the others. They understood and glanced at the girl from the Yu family who was always fierce and not easy to mess with but was in such a miserable state at this moment, and rode away. They all had sisters, and they felt a little sad after hearing those words. How many of them got married innocently and carefree and were still happy when they returned
"Cousin, let's go back." He helped her onto the carriage and Zeng Xiangyan rode away to accompany her. He felt relieved when he heard her crying gradually subsided.
"Little cousin."
"kindness?"
"Is it too late for me to truly consider Hua Ling as a friend today?"
Yu Weiwei's voice was choked with sobs. Zeng Xiangyan looked at the direction where the Hua brothers and sisters had left before, and thought of the girl who had never treated them differently and had never even glanced at them. Suddenly, he realized that although she had lost a lot of money, her eyes were still clear and she wasn't obsessed at all. Perhaps, like her brother, she was just curious, and her curiosity wore off once it passed, so she left so abruptly.
"She doesn't seem like someone who would talk too much to you. She must think highly of you if she said these things to you."
Yu Weiwei leaned against the carriage and laughed, then cried. Yes, that man usually didn’t talk much, and this was the first time he talked so much. He must have regarded her as a friend!
The kind of friend you can tell any secret to without worrying about being stabbed in the back.
I just don’t know if we will meet again in the future.
On the ship, Gu Yanxi, who had settled down in the upper cabin, was also asking, "Why did you tell her that?"
Hua Zhi glanced at the cabin door, and Gu Yanxi said again: "Someone is guarding it."
"Yu Weiwei is actually a very easy-to-understand person. Although she seems to be arrogant and looks down on others, she has been protecting me intentionally or unintentionally since I met her. It's not that other people haven't thought about joining forces to get money from me, but she stopped them. To her, although I am an outsider, I have asked Xiang Yan to take me out to play, so she treated me as her own and protected me. She also gave me a lot of advice, both openly and secretly. To be honest, it was me who had evil intentions and used her to achieve most of my goals. Those words should be regarded as my guilt towards her."
Hua Zhi sighed, "From ancient times to the present, only a few people who have found a son-in-law have lived a good life. If she could think more positively and not make things difficult for herself, her life would not be so difficult. It would be even better if she could be that exception and live a happy life."
Gu Yanxi held her hand and kissed it, and continued the task of covering her hands every day recently, "You are too soft-hearted."
Hua Zhi laughed. If she was a soft-hearted person, she would never have had the chance to come into this world. It was just a guilty conscience.
PS: As I said before, characters that appear more frequently must have sequels. Well, there will be three updates tomorrow. I will break my promise and gain ten pounds.
