Zhou Zhiruo, let's use you as a shield first, you have to give others a face.
Song Qingshu understands that once he refuses, no matter how tactful the reason is, he may offend the Wangwu faction. In "The Legend of Condor Heroes", Yang Guo just rejected Guo Jing's marriage proposal, planting a seed of hatred for Guo Fu, so that he was later rejected by the other party. Cut off his right hand.
Judging by her personality, Zeng Rou shouldn't be able to do such a tough thing, but Song Qingshu still needs the support of the Wangwu faction if he wants to become the Golden Snake King this time.
As the saying goes, there is no righteousness in buying and selling. It's not that I don't want to marry your apprentice, but that I already have a wife, so that everyone will look good.
Because of this kind of force majeure, people from the Wangwu faction cannot be married, and they must understand. If you don't recommend me, and Xia Qingqing recommends me, it shouldn't be too difficult to agree to my qualifications.
Hearing that Song Qingshu was married, Xia Qingqing gave him a complicated look, couldn't help but lamented her identity, and became sensitive for a while.
Zeng Rou on the other side had a shy face, lowered her head nervously and was playing with her clothes and feet, when she heard Song Qingshu's answer, the blood faded from her pretty face and turned extremely pale.
What the three of them didn't expect at all was that, not only was Situ Bolei not angry when he heard Song Qingshu's words, his face didn't even change in the slightest.
"This old man also knows that as Rou'er, he naturally doesn't ask for the position of the son's main wife, but only wants to be able to serve the son by his side."
Hearing Situ Bolei's answer, all three people in the room were shocked.
Also in the Golden Snake Camp, Xia Qingqing knew how precious Situ Bolei was as a female apprentice. Zeng Rou is gentle and delicate, with a sweet and pretty appearance. Since the Wangwu faction went to the Golden Snake Camp, her reputation has spread. Several other hill chiefs came to propose a marriage for their son, but Situ Bolei refused at all, and everyone speculated that he wanted to keep Zeng Rou as his son.
Now that Situ Bolei gave her to Song Qingshu like a maid, how could Xia Qingqing not be shocked
Zeng Rou didn't expect her master to say that, she stayed where she was for a while, and didn't know what she was thinking.
Song Qingshu was already Sparta. He thought that if he used Zhou Zhiruo as a shield, Situ Bolei would definitely retreat in spite of the difficulties, so he gave him the steps, and he took advantage of the opportunity to chat, and the two of them discussed the topic Yes, I never expected that Stuart Bolei would give such an answer.
Looking up at Zeng Rou who was not far away, a healthy blush appeared on her sweet face, and she stood timidly beside Situ Bolei, which made people feel pity out of thin air.
She's a lovely person, but I can't take all the women in the world, can I
Sensing Xia Qingqing's gaze, Song Qingshu felt a slight chill in his back, and quickly said: "Old hero Situ, Miss Zeng is gentle, virtuous, and beautiful. She deserves a husband who wholeheartedly cares for him. Following my words, Miss Zeng is really wronged." , I hope the old hero will reconsider."
"Mr. Song, don't worry. As the saying goes, you would rather be a concubine of a hero than a wife of a mediocre man. Rou'er is definitely willing to marry a hero like your son." Situ Bolei laughed, and turned to Zeng Rou. "Rou'er, what do you think?" Bar?"
Zeng Rou was dumbfounded all of a sudden, thinking that Master was the same, how could someone's daughter have the nerve to answer such a thing
Sensing everyone's gaze, Zeng Rou's face turned red, she lowered her head and said softly like a mosquito: "Rou'er will follow Master's arrangements."
Song Qingshu was about to find another reason to refuse, Xia Qingqing quietly tugged at his sleeve, and smacked at Zeng Rou, Song Qingshu looked over suspiciously, saw the tears in the corners of Zeng Rou's eyes faintly visible, her body slightly Trembling slightly, the knuckles of both hands were twisted together, and they were slightly pale due to excessive force, obviously extremely nervous.
Song Qingshu sighed in his heart, knowing that if he continued, he might hurt the heart of this innocent girl, but could he agree to such a thing casually
Song Qingshu's face was uncertain, and when he was hesitating there, Xia Qingqing suddenly said: "Since the old hero Situ has a lot of business, our son agreed."
Stuart Bolei gave her a strange look: "Oh? Who is this girl?"
Before Song Qingshu had time to answer, Xia Qingqing replied: "I am the young master's confidant maid. Before we went up the mountain, the young master talked with me, and he often mentioned Miss Zeng in his mouth, praising her for being gentle and kind. Today When I first saw it, my reputation was indeed well-deserved. Young Master, he had already been moved by the old hero's proposal, but he was worried that he would wrong Ms. Zeng."
When Situ Bolei heard her words, his face immediately beamed with joy, and he laughed loudly: "No wrong, no wrong, brother Zeng is alive in heaven, knowing that his daughter can have a son-in-law like Mr. Song, he must be very pleased Yes." The rest of the people in the room cupped their hands together to express their congratulations, Zeng Rou's face was soft, she snorted "I'll ignore you" and hurried to the back hall.
Now that the matter has come to this, what else can Song Qingshu say? Rejection will definitely hurt the face of the Wangwu faction. Originally, a good thing will turn into a disaster. It was hard to bury this chess piece in the Golden Snake Camp in the early days. How can we watch the chess game collapse now
Thinking of this, Song Qingshu couldn't help giving Xia Qingqing a hard look.
Xia Qingqing's face turned pale, and she thought to herself: It's none of my business, she's not your wife anyway, so let your Zhou Zhiruo bother her.
If Song Qingshu could read Xia Qingqing's thoughts at the moment, he would probably vomit blood three liters from her black belly, but out of politeness, he still had to formally reply to Situ Bolei: "Thank you for your kindness, senior. I will treat Miss Zeng well after I am here. Don't let her get hurt."
"You still call me senior," Situ Bolei pretended to be displeased, "You and Rou'er... Well, no, you are so skilled in martial arts, I can't afford to be your master, how about it, Rou'er and I passed away My father is an acquaintance of eight worshippers, so you can call me Uncle Shi from now on."
Song Qingshu was in a cold sweat, so he had no choice but to say: "If you don't obey orders, uncle Shi will not call me son son anymore, I can't bear it."
Situ Bolei laughed loudly: "Since this is the case, the old man will call you a book from now on."
"You might as well call me nephew..." Song Qingshu slandered, thinking of Xiang Shaolong's concubine named Shu'er in "Looking for the Qin", who was killed first and then...
Song Qingshu only felt a chill, and quickly chatted with Situ Bolei.
"Shu'er, when do you think this wedding will be held?"
"This... don't worry, now there are internal and external troubles, not only to compete for the Golden Snake King, but also to deal with the Qing court army."
"Well, that's right..."
Before Situ Bolei finished speaking, Situ He suddenly said: "Father, I don't quite agree with this point of view. Nowadays, everyone is living a life of licking blood on the head of a knife, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow. It's better to let him go as soon as possible." When the two get married, if they can give birth to a boy and a half girl, everyone has something to look forward to."
"Have a baby?" Song Qingshu was dumbfounded for a moment, "There's no need to go so soon, right?" He couldn't help crying secretly, originally he wanted to delay the marriage, but now the other party has put the baby on the agenda.
"That's right, Brother Song, don't underestimate the issue of heirs. Since Brother Song agrees to marry his junior sister, we are naturally a family. From now on, the Wangwu faction will take Brother Song as the lead. Even if Brother Song dies unfortunately, we can still use Brother Song The sons of the people unite the hearts of the people."
"I'm not going to mention that if Emperor Chongzhen's heirs had escaped from Beijing, there would not have been a split in Nanming. I'll just talk about recent things. Why did the Golden Snake Camp, which was once prosperous in the past, end up being torn apart? It's not because of so many years, that Why didn't Xia Qingqing leave a son and a half for the Golden Snake King Yuan Chengzhi? If she was upbeat and gave birth to a son, everyone would let his son trust the Golden Snake King, and there would be no disturbances among the leaders of the hills. , a split situation of cannibalism."
Seeing Xia Qingqing's face getting darker and darker, Song Qingshu secretly laughed, thinking that you deserved it for pushing me into the fire pit just now, and now the fire has burned you, right
Although it was fun to gloat, Song Qingshu didn't dare to let Situ He continue talking. If Xia Qingqing really got mad, it would be hard to end. Junior sister is widowed, how can I feel bad about it?"
Seeing what Situ He still wanted to say, Song Qingshu quickly said: "At least we have to wait until the Golden Snake Conference is over. Otherwise, if I fail to compete for the Golden Snake King, I will have no face to face Miss Zeng and you."
Situ Bolei laughed and said: "What is Shu'er talking about, if you can't become the Golden Snake King, at worst we will leave the Golden Snake Camp together and start a new one. With your martial arts and intelligence, you must be no less successful than the rabble in the Golden Snake Camp. "
Situ Bolei came from the world-renowned Guanning Cavalry, a powerful army. Back then, he faced head-to-head with the most elite Eight Banners cavalry. Naturally, he didn't pay attention to the grassroots bandits in the Golden Snake Camp.
Seeing that Situ Bolei flattened Yuan Chengzhi's efforts to nothing, Xia Qingqing suddenly felt annoyed, and was about to argue with him for a few words, when she suddenly thought that she had decided to follow Song Qingshu in the future, and at this time she was still speaking for Yuan Chengzhi, would he be right? Do you have any bad thoughts
Worrying about gains and losses, Xia Qingqing forgot to speak for a while.
Situ Bolei chatted with Song Qingshu for a while, and suddenly said mysteriously: "There is no rush on when the wedding will be held. Now there is a person in the camp who wants to meet Shu'er."
"See me?" Song Qingshu looked surprised. Seeing that Situ Bolei was so serious, he couldn't help asking curiously, "Who wants to see me?"
"This..." Situ Bolei glanced at Xia Qingqing hesitantly, then shook his head and said, "You will know when you see it yourself."
Song Qingshu fell into deep thought immediately, who else in the Wangwu faction deserves Situ Bolei's solemnity? It shouldn't be someone from the inside... Situ Bolei used to be Wu Sangui's subordinate, could it be that Wu Sangui's envoy is also here
Song Qingshu shook his head slightly, and quickly expelled this thought from his mind. Situ Bolei had always hated Wu Sangui's traitorous behavior, how could he get along with him? But if it wasn't from Wu Sangui, then who would it be
Xia Qingqing was also obviously surprised, she stood up and said to Song Qingshu, "I'll go with you." She was obviously worried that there might be fraud.
Stuart Bolei quickly waved his hands and said, "I can't, I can't, that person has already stated that he only sees Shu'er, and won't meet other people."
