Li Ke emphasized this reason to himself again.
He still couldn't think of a way to deal with it, and he seemed to be unable to convince himself. Originally, he wanted to explain clearly to Su Qing, even if he said it harder, it would be better than dragging her and hurting her like this, but he couldn't harden his heart. Whether he couldn't make up his mind or he didn't want to, he was a little confused. In the end, he decided to put the matter aside for now, just as Madam said, don't worry, think it over before talking.
But before he could think it over, he met Su Qing again.
She has lost some weight, and her eyes don't seem to be as bright as before. She came to look for him, but instead of entering the gate of the Dragon Mansion, she lingered outside the gate.
A little timid, a little cautious, a little hesitant.
Li Ke suddenly felt distressed.
It has been more than half a month since the last time they met.
He didn't hide from her, he walked up to her.
What is she trying to say this time? What is the most important thing she thinks this time
Seeing Li Ke approaching, Su Qing wanted to smile at him, but she was too nervous to laugh, tried once, and stopped smiling. She twisted her fingers, bit her lips, and said, "Master, the sister-in-law of the Li family is here again. She wants to know whether it can be done or not. My mother promised her. I..."
She said "I" for a long time, her eyes were red, and she suddenly smiled. She smiled this time, and seemed to be a little more energetic. She said to Li Ke: "This is the last time I have come to see the master. I just want to ask the master. If I don't see you again in the future, the master will not forget me, right?"
Will you forget her? Is this the most important thing in her heart
Can you marry? He didn't answer.
Do you like her? He didn't answer.
Will you miss her? He still didn't answer.
Li Ke felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
Now in her heart, the requirements for him are so low that as long as she doesn't forget, it's all right
"I will never forget, you are my apprentice, I only accept you as an apprentice in my life, how can I forget?"
Su Qing smiled. It's another apprentice, but at least it's the only one.
She smiled brightly, nodded to Li Ke, turned and left.
This time she didn't look back, and she didn't say anything like "I'll ask you another question next time". She just walked away, alone, out of his sight.
Li Ke suddenly felt sad, so sad that he could hardly breathe. His mind was full of Su Qing's various expressions.
She worked hard, ran the house, and took care of her mother. She was so filial, and never said a word to him complaining about the hard life.
She is chivalrous, brave and fearless, and she will stand up when the road is uneven.
She is lively, cute, smart, and has endless jokes. Although she always has tricks to tease him, but she is so kind to him, she can always make him laugh.
Li Ke stared blankly at the direction Su Qing left. If we can't see each other in the future... Is it really impossible to see each other
Li Ke suddenly felt that everything was not true.
His lovely apprentice, just gone? See you soon? She is going to marry someone else, and if she is a married woman, it will be hard to see the man next to her? Master can't do it
Li Ke's mind was in a mess, and his heart was in a mess. Nothing is right anymore.
In the last few meetings, he didn't seem to have said anything to Su Qing. He was wrong, how could he let this be the last memory between them
He has a lot to say to her, and he shouldn't.
Li Ke's brain became hot, and he took a big step and ran towards Su Qing's house.
When he ran to the gate of the city, he became more sober. He turned around, ran to Longfu, and sent two spies to investigate. He is a familiar face in Su Qing's house and neighbors, so it's not easy to go there in person.
Su Qing's family had engaged her, and he ran away so recklessly, and couldn't speak clearly, what if her reputation was ruined
So it's better to be on the safe side, the advance agent found out, and he also wanted to understand, and then make plans for this matter.
Li Ke poured himself thoroughly with well water, and his heart became clearer again. The well water is very cold, if Su Qing sees him like this, she will think again and again that he doesn't take care of his body. When he was ordered by the second master to pretend to be sick that time, she was so anxious that he felt really uncomfortable watching it.
He is such an idiot, how could he not answer her question
If he doesn't like her, how can he miss her? How could he worry about her, be full of joy and sorrow for her
He obviously liked her.
Fuck what kind of master and apprentice, the second master ordered him to teach, and he didn't officially agree to it at the beginning. She has never performed the ceremony of apprenticeship, nor has she given any money for apprenticeship.
Yes, yes, you have to think so. You have to learn from the second master, and show the spirit of the second master playing rogue.
How can those who have not given money be counted? If you want to learn from the second master, take out the second master's penny-pinching pie.
A difference of ten years is actually not too much difference, the second master is six years younger than his wife. Yes, regardless of it, you have to learn from Er Ye and show Er Ye's thick-skinned demeanor.
Li Ke walked around, rubbing his hands anxiously, there must be room for mediation in this matter, he couldn't lose to that blacksmith boy.
The spies came back soon and said they had found out. It is true that the sister-in-law of the Li family made an agreement on Su Qing's marriage with the Su family aunt today, and she has already received a reply from the blacksmith, and she plans to go to the Su family to pay her respects the next day.
the day after tomorrow? How can it be so fast
Li Ke jumped up.
The spies said that the blacksmith shop had been in love with Su Qing for a long time, and had entrusted Li's sister-in-law to marry him long ago, but Su Qing was young, so she waited, the gift was prepared long ago. Poor people don't pay much attention to it, and those with sons are ready to be courteous and use it early.
Li Ke couldn't sit still when he heard that, he rushed to Long Er's dormitory to see his wife.
Long Er was eating snacks with Ju Muer in the yard, when Li Kelai raised his eyebrows: "If I remember correctly, you seem to be my guard, why do you see my wife?"
Li Ke had a bitter face. At this critical moment, the second master still wanted to tease his subordinates.
Ju Muer smiled: "What is the most important thing that Li Guard has thought of?"
Li Ke saluted urgently, and said loudly: "I beg my wife to be the master."
The second master propped his chin and looked at Li Ke: "What are you doing?"
Li Ke was ashamed and at a loss for words. He looked at Ju Muer, but Ju Muer didn't help him out, but instead asked, "What does Guard Li want to do?"
Li Ke's face was flushed red, he rushed over to ask for help, and asked him what he wanted to do, these two masters really love to play tricks.
He held back for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth: "This subordinate wants to marry Su Qing as his wife, so I ask the second master and wife to make the decision."
Long Er looked disapproving: "If you want to marry, marry, I didn't stop you."
Ju Muer knew the reason, and said with a smile: "Is the blacksmith planning to give a gift in the future?"
"Yes, yes." Li Ke nodded repeatedly. Sure enough, Madam knows about Su Qing.
Long Er continued to take it lightly: "What are you afraid of under the gift? His family dares to rob my daughter-in-law from my Long family?"
Li Ke had a sad face, what the second master said was right. Ju Mu'er pursed her lips and smiled, her second master's short-term protection disease might have another attack.
"My Long family, even a servant, can't tolerate being bullied by others. Li Ke, which family wants to rob your wife?" Long Er was full of energy.
Li Ke's face became even more bitter. Could he say that he wanted to rob someone else's wife
Ju Mu'er had finally had enough laughing at this moment, she said: "Guard Li, we will go to present the ceremony tomorrow. They have the sister-in-law of the Li family as their matchmaker, and we have the support of the second master of the Longfu, so we are not afraid."
Li Ke looked at Long Er.
At this moment, Second Master Long is happy for the word "support" and supports the Long family, which he loves to do.
but…
"The money for this gift will be deducted from your monthly money!"
Su Qing and Li Ke finally got married.
On the day of the marriage proposal, the young couple left the crowd and quietly went to the woods to talk alone.
Li Ke explained awkwardly: "Then what, in fact, you have never formally worshiped me, so you are not counted as my apprentice."
Su Qing said: "What's so important?"
Li Ke explained again: "A difference of ten years is not too much difference, the second master is six years older than his wife."
"I didn't take that to heart either."
Li Ke coughed and blushed under her gaze.
He blushed, Su Qing blushed, and both lowered their heads. Su Qing kicked the mud with her toes, and whispered: "Then, you should tell me something."
"What do you want to say?" Li Ke's voice was also very small.
Su Qing bit her lips: "Who came to propose marriage, but didn't say anything to them?"
"Did the blacksmith boy say that?"
"He is different from the master."
These words sweetened Li Ke's heart: "What's the difference?"
Su Qing blushed to the point of bleeding, staring at Li Ke's blushing face, she suddenly became angry again. She talked to him so many times, but he didn't say a good word to him, but in the end he rushed to make a kiss before others, and he didn't even say a word at this moment. If she had any backbone, she couldn't agree to marry him.
But she didn't dare to say angry words, if she couldn't marry him, she would cry to death again. The more she thought about it, the more wronged she became, she simply turned her head and wanted to leave.
In a hurry, Li Ke stretched out his hand to hold her hand.
Both of them seemed to be burning hot, their faces flushed with embarrassment, but they didn't let go.
"I... I want to marry you, I like you, I... I miss you."
Li Ke stammered, but finished speaking in one breath.
Su Qing didn't move for a long time, but suddenly rushed into his arms and burst into tears.
Li Ke's arms were stuffed to the brim, and his heart was filled with warmth and sweetness.
He opened his arms and embraced the little girl in his arms.
On the day Li and Su got married, Long Er asked Ju Muer, "Say, what did you do?"
"Me?" Ju Muer looked innocent, "I didn't do anything. The one who snatched the marriage was the second master, and the one who married the wife was Li Huwei. What can I do?" She shook her head, "I have nothing. Do."
She was just chatting with people.
Chat with Su Qing, chat with Li Ke, chat with Li's sister-in-law, that's all.
It's just that if Li Ke's enlightenment is slower, she still has to continue chatting.
Chatting is also hard work.
Ju Muer smiled, and leaned against Long Er, listening to him drink with his group of guards: "I can't pour a thousand cups." Her master boasted again.
Ju Muer continued to smile.
