Chapter 332: One life, one world, one couple?
Seeing that it was getting late, Hua Lei and Xiao Yuan stood up to say goodbye. Lord Pei and Madam Pei sighed at the same time. Madam Pei nodded and asked Nanny Chen beside her to personally escort Hua Lei and her brother out.
When he walked to the second gate, he saw Rong Jin waiting there. When he saw Hua Lei and her brother coming out, Rong Jin smiled and said, "Sister Hua, let me take you back."
"Uh, no..." Hua Lei was about to refuse, but Rong Jin had already opened the car curtain and said, "It's getting late. I'd better take you home." As he said that, he pulled Xiao Yuan over and with a gentle lift and push, Xiao Yuan entered the car.
Then he turned around, looked at Hualei, and motioned Hualei to get in the car. Hualei pursed her lips, and still got into the car with Qingying's help. Just after sitting down opposite Xiaoyuan, Rong Jin also bent down and entered the car, sitting next to Xiaoyuan. Xiaoyuan and Hualei were both stunned. Didn't he send us off on horseback? And he also took a carriage with us?
"I have something to say." Rong Jin smiled slightly, told the driver to drive the carriage, and closed the carriage door. The carriage slowly left the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. Rong Jin looked at Hua Lei and said softly, "Sister Hua, did grandparents talk to you about the marriage? Don't feel any pressure. My grandparents won't force you, and neither will I.
I know that I have been self-righteous for the past three years and have done something wrong. After my grandfather came back and gave me some advice, I realized that I was wrong. Now that I tell you, maybe you will think that I am making excuses. However, I still want to explain to you and Xiaoyuan.
At the beginning, I was indeed on the fence about you and Xiaoyuan, because I was worried that you would become a person like my mother in the future. After all, Xiaoyuan is still so young, and you will definitely have to take care of him. "
Xiao Yuan, who was sitting next to him, looked at Rong Jin and thought to himself, "You dislike me? And you said it in front of me? Are you deliberately teasing me? Are you hitting me? Or am I transparent? You can't see me? If it weren't for the fact that you have been nice to me for the past three years, you would have been kicked out directly, you idiot, don't you know my power?"
Rong Jin, who had no idea that he had offended Xiao Yuan, continued, "I'm not against you taking care of Xiao Yuan, but I'm afraid that you'll be like my mother and never understand the situation. So for you who just arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, I do keep a certain distance."
As the eldest son and grandson of the Zhenbei Marquisate, everyone envies me, but only I know the pressure I am under. I have a willful father, a mother who only holds me back, and a group of brothers who don't strive for progress. If I don't work harder, the Marquisate will collapse.
So I have always hoped to find a smart and capable person who can be worthy of being the mistress of the marquis's mansion to be my wife, and someone who can share the joys and sorrows with me to be my wife.
I know that I am very selfish and purposeful, so I unconsciously ignored your feelings. This made you feel cold towards me. So, no matter what, I was wrong.
I know that marriage is about bringing two families together, so, Sister Hua, I won't force you to do anything you don't like. I just hope that no matter what time it is, you will believe that the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion will always be your support. I will also always be your and Xiaoyuan's support. "
Rong Jin's voice was very soft, but Hua Lei heard it clearly. Looking at the somewhat nervous Rong Jin, Hua Lei nodded slightly, "Thank you, Mr. Pei."
Rong Jin looked at the flower bud, pursed his lips, and said softly, "Sister Hua, I am not only selfish and purposeful, but also demanding. I really want to find someone who can communicate with me, and I can be with her for the rest of my life. I don't want to live a life of compromise, and you are the person I want to find."
The flower bud was stunned. A pair for a lifetime?
Xiao Yuan looked at Rong Jin and said, "Brother Rong Jin, please don't speak nonsense. This is not something you can say casually. Can you do it?"
"If it's Sister Hua, I can do it!" Rong Jin said firmly.
"What if your aunt lets you take a concubine?" Xiao Yuan asked again.
"My mother can't control me." Rong Jin said confidently.
Xiaoyuan looked at Rong Jin and pursed his lips slightly.
Hua Lei looked at Rong Jin and felt uneasy.
There was a silence in the carriage. Soon, Rong Jin broke the silence again and asked Xiao Yuan beside him, "Xiao Yuan, does my robe look good?"
Xiao Yuan looked at Hua Lei's rouge-red dress, then looked at Rong Jin's light crimson robe of the same color, and asked instead of answering, "Brother Rong Jin, why are you wearing more and more colorful clothes recently? Didn't you like to wear black, white and green robes before?"
Rong Jin blushed slightly, looked at his own robe, then looked at Hua Lei's dress, and said softly, "I was still in mourning for Grandfather Hua, so I..."
Xiao Yuan pursed his lips, somewhat suspicious. Rong Jin was deliberately using him as a tool again. Why did it feel like Brother Rong Jin had completely changed since Grandfather Pei came back? He had been very honest since he had beaten him last time? Why was he so sweet-talking now?
I don't know if he was just saying it casually or seriously, "We are a couple for life". If he was serious, it would be a good idea for my sister to marry him. The Zhenbei Marquis's family is well-off, and Brother Rong Jin is the eldest son and grandson. He seems to have a lot of money and is willing to spend it on my sister. In this way, my sister won't have to worry about making money every day after marrying him.
The carriage carried three people with different thoughts and continued to move forward. Soon, the carriage arrived at Hua's house in Yongningfang. After Rong Jin left, the brother and sister went back to their rooms to rest in silence.
Because it was the first New Year spent in the new house, Aunt Fu and Aunt Song cut a lot of festive window paper-cuts and pasted them up. Uncle Fu and Ping'an also hung red lanterns in the new house.
On New Year's Eve, everyone gathered together to celebrate the New Year. Because it was his turn to work at the farm, Uncle Fu would go to the farm to arrange things from time to time. Hualei and her brother stayed at home to rest.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month was a grand festival in the Great Sheng Dynasty, the Lantern Festival. In the evening, Rong Jin brought Zhenzhu, Rong Jue and a group of marquis' children to the flower house in Yongningfang to pick up Hualei and Xiaoyuan, and went to the street together to enjoy the lanterns, flowers and guess lantern riddles.
It was not known whether it was because of the route arranged by Rong Jin or some other reason. Jiang Yunqi, Bai Yunhe and others waited at the intersection of the flower market for most of the night, but they did not meet Zhenzhu and Hualei and their group, and returned disappointed.
Rong Jin took a group of people to eat and drink, and played happily for most of the night before sending Hualei and her brother back to the Hua residence. Before leaving, he also stuffed a flower and full moon lantern into Hualei's hand.
