"Retreat, of course I have to retreat, who wants to be with a stinky toad like you!"
Li Shu had a pretty face with a pair of dark eyes staring at Zhu Ping'an as if sparks were shooting out. Her teeth were clacking and her whole body was emitting an uncontrollable rage, like an enraged little lion.
"Very good, then retreat."
Compared to Li Shu's anger, Zhu Ping'an was unusually calm. After listening to her roar, Zhu Ping'an calmly responded.
Then, the sinister woman Li Shu became silent for a while, and then became angry again.
"You think I don't want to back out? Humph, it was your mother who forced my father to agree to the marriage by crying, making a scene, and even threatening to hang himself!"
"Father has just agreed to this. Even if he dotes on me, he will not agree to cancel the engagement at this time!"
"After some time, when my father is in a better mood, I will definitely ask him to cancel the engagement and not marry a stinky toad like you."
So that's it. Zhu Ping'an roughly understood why the black-bellied girl was so angry just now. It turned out that she hated the engagement, but she was so angry because her father did not agree to cancel the engagement for the time being. Well, it seems that this girl has begged the rich man Li at home, but the rich man Li did not agree to cancel the engagement. Parents' orders and matchmaker's words, this was emphasized in ancient times, not as easy as it is now. Engagement and cancellation of engagements also require the approval of parents. No wonder the stinky girl has such a bad temper.
But, I am a little curious. The Li family is wealthy and powerful and is definitely not an ordinary wealthy family. Why does Mr. Li, the rich man, think so highly of me
Zhu Ping'an was a little confused about this.
Nonsense, even the wealthy Mr. Li was puzzled. Why did his beloved child, whom he had spoiled since childhood, cry, make a scene, and even hang himself, because he was determined to be with the poor boy from Xiahe Village! He was not satisfied with the several sons of nobles that his eldest sister-in-law in the capital had introduced to him, let alone a poor boy from Xiahe Village whose ancestors had been digging in the mud for three generations!
Li Shu, Li Shu; Shu's name, female.
Mr. Li regretted naming his precious daughter "Shu" very much, as if it was destined in the dark. Shu is the daughter of the Zhu family. Mr. Li regretted so much that his intestines turned green. Anyway, since he agreed to the marriage, Mr. Li has been eating poorly every day...
Of course, Mr. Li was not going to sit still and wait for death. It happened to be the old lady's birthday. Mr. Li used the excuse of being busy with work to pack up Li Shu and go to Beijing to celebrate the birthday on his behalf. He only hoped that the family in Beijing would be dissatisfied and disagree in various ways, and hoped that his precious child would turn back.
Mr. Li, the rich man, always comforts himself in this way.
"Then what are you doing here?"
Zhu Ping'an asked again, since you can't cancel the engagement for the time being, then what are you doing in the capital? It's impossible that you come to me to say this.
"I'll work hard to break off the engagement."
After hearing Zhu Ping'an's question, Li Shu's cherry lips slightly curved up, looking up at a 45-degree angle, and replied in a proud and coquettish manner.
Trying to break up the engagement
That is to work on my own thoughts and make myself agree to cancel the engagement. This is because I am afraid that I will not agree and that there will be complications during the cancellation of the engagement.
"Then you can rest assured. I wholeheartedly support the cancellation of the engagement." Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly when he heard this.
Hearing this, Li Shu couldn't help but turn black on her pretty face, and rolled her eyes vigorously. She sneered and said sarcastically: "Don't be so self-righteous. Who cares if you agree or not? I want to cancel the engagement, and even ten thousand of you, Zhu Ping'an, can't stop me!"
"Well… "
Zhu Pingan was speechless. How could this little girl explode at any time? Who could stand it
"Grandma's birthday is coming up soon. Dad and my brothers are busy with their work, so they asked me to come and wish her a happy birthday."
Li Shu took off the fox fur cape she was wearing, revealing a red skirt with a piece of snow fox fur inlaid on the cuffs and collar. conAd2(); She explained with her lips pouted.
The chubby little maidservant at the side took the fox fur cloak that the young lady had taken off and put it away, then considerately placed a soft pillow behind Li Shu so that Li Shu could lean on it comfortably.
"Happy birthday..."
It turned out to be a birthday celebration. How could it have anything to do with breaking off an engagement? And what about working hard to break off an engagement? Zhu Pingan didn't agree with Li Shu's explanation.
"What do you know? As long as I perform well in this birthday celebration and Dad is happy, it will be much easier for me to cancel the engagement when I go back."
Li Shu looked at Zhu Ping'an, rolled her eyes and said coquettishly.
"What does it have to do with me? Then why did you come here to find me?" Zhu Ping'an shrugged and asked again.
"Of course it matters. You are not blind and can't recognize what you are holding. How can you not go to your grandmother's birthday? Besides, how can you not let the elders see such a big event?"
"So, humph, Zhu Ping'an, don't do bad things behind my back. You must perform well this time, to satisfy grandma and the elders. I must perform well at this birthday banquet, and you must perform even better. You must satisfy my father. If my father is happy, it will be easier for me to go back and ask him to cancel the engagement.
"It's impossible for us to be together. Don't be a toad wanting to eat swan meat. Humph, as long as you cooperate well and behave better, I can give you a lot of money and let you marry a beautiful young wife. As long as you cooperate well, it will be fine."
"Hey, Zhu Ping'an, did you hear that?"
Li Shu looked at Zhu Ping'an very seriously and said solemnly, her small white jade hands behind her back twisting the corners of her clothes randomly.
"The sun is shining, the breeze is not noisy, I, Zhu Ping'an, have hands and feet, why do I need your money, Li Shu?" Zhu Ping'an smiled disdainfully. conAd3();
This little girl is so self-righteous. Does she really think that others are as materialistic as she is? If she were in modern times, she would definitely be a materialistic woman who would rather cry in a BMW than laugh on a bicycle. She has her own hands and feet, and she is neither naive nor stupid. She can naturally create her own future.
"So what do you mean? A toad wants to eat swan flesh?"
Li Shu had a beautiful, fair and flawless face. Her clear eyes stared at Zhu Ping'an, seemingly angry, but her little white jade hands behind her back were relaxed.
“I’m a vegetarian!”
Zhu Pingan rolled his eyes when he heard this.
"Hehe, you admit that you are a toad..." Upon hearing this, Li Shu covered her mouth with her slender hands and giggled, making her look even more charming.
"Childish." Zhu Ping'an shook his head disdainfully. Why play word games at this time
"You are childish!" Hearing this, Li Shu glared at Zhu Ping'an, then asked, "Are you going to agree or not? A forced melon is not sweet."
The matter of breaking off the engagement really had to fall on this stinky girl. If she did it herself, she would go against her parents' orders and make her mother unhappy, although she really didn't know why her mother sent the matchmaker to the Li family at that time; secondly, at a time when the imperial examination was about to produce results, if she proposed to break off the engagement, she would probably be drowned in the spit of everyone and would have no chance of getting into the officialdom. Therefore, she really had to rely on this girl to propose to break off the engagement, so that the matter could be resolved.
"I'd love to have you, but I won't take a penny." Zhu Ping'an thought about it and agreed. Although he felt that the matter was a little strange, he agreed when he thought of the good prospects of breaking off the engagement. Of course, he didn't forget to emphasize at the end that he wouldn't take a penny. Just kidding, if the engagement was successfully broken off, he would be willing to give her money to Li Shu.
"Don't pull it down."
When Li Shu heard Zhu Ping'an agreed, she smiled like a flower, so bright and beautiful that she could not be compared with anything else. When she saw Zhu Ping'an looking at her, Li Shu held up an embroidered handkerchief and slightly covered her lips, acting like a noble and arrogant young lady.
But if you look closely, you'll find a short poem embroidered on the handkerchief:
The long road is full of wind and rain, and marriage is like mustard grass;
If I can grow old with someone, every morning and every night will be good. (To be continued.)
