Chapter 18 Reassuring
Lu Hanzhi didn't know what she wanted to ask, but after hearing what she said, he became curious and said, "What does the princess want to ask?"
"I heard that on the day Sister Lu got married, both the Cheng family and the Li family came to ask for her hand in marriage. Sister Lu, why did you choose the Cheng family?" It's not that the Cheng family is not good, but that the engagement was made earlier than before.
, and for the Li family who also had contact with each other, the Cheng family was too unfamiliar to the Lu family. Besides, Cheng Junze was often at the border, so I didn’t know what kind of person he was.
Lu Hanzhi didn't expect Princess Qingyun to ask this, but there was nothing he couldn't say, so he replied: "The princess knows about this and should also know the cause. After what happened to the Li family, what they thought of was
He kept the matter secret, and after the Lu family found out, he used the friendship between the two families to ask the Lu family to fulfill the engagement. From this, you can see how much the Li family values their face and reputation."
This is indeed true, but among the wealthy families in Beijing, who doesn’t care about reputation? Did the Lu family reject the Li family just because of this?
Lu Hanzhi saw Princess Qingyun's doubts and continued: "The young master of the Li family is in love with the girl of the Zhou family, so he ran away from marriage and elope. If he is forced to marry me, how do you think he will treat me? Better,
Ignore me for a year, two years, or I don’t know how many years. At worst, they may treat me as an enemy and torture me in the future. And will the Li family, who value face and reputation so much, side with me? There are only two outcomes for me.
, with good luck, they survived until the day they became the masters of the family; if they were unlucky, they could only be buried silently in the Li family."
"As for the Cheng family, I really didn't know the Cheng family at that time, but it's better than the Li family!" Lu Hanzhi sighed, "To be honest with the princess, I didn't know what I would face in the future. I was just betting.
Just a handful."
Princess Qingyun was silent, knowing that the Li family was not good, but at that time Lu Hanzhi could only choose another family with a little hope, but what about her? Did she have a choice?
Seeing Princess Qingyun's face, Lu Hanzhi guessed that she had something difficult to do. She was probably a little emotional when talking about old things. Lu Hanzhi couldn't help but said, "Princess Princess asked this, is there something embarrassing for her?"
"I have something difficult to do. Sister Lu just listens to it, but don't tell others." Princess Qingyun was born in a noble family, but her father was gentle and dignified. He only loved reading and writing poetry. Her mother was weak, so she was
She was pampered by her parents, brothers and sisters, and the Queen Mother cared for her in the palace, so she did not develop an unruly and willful character. It was just influenced by her mother. Although Princess Qingyun was not stupid, she was kind and weak in nature, and she was willing to consider others.
But I don’t know what to do.
Lu Hanzhi secretly regretted asking this question, but after hearing what she said, he felt pity and said, "Don't worry, no one will know except you and me."
"My father has made an engagement for me. He is the second young master of Pingnan Hou Mansion. He is the brother of Miss Zhou who was previously engaged to Crown Prince Cheng." Princess Qingyun pursed her lips slightly, and she felt something in her heart when she mentioned this person.
Grieved, "I have been engaged to him for more than a year. The wedding date was originally scheduled for September this year, but I learned not long ago that Mr. Zhou actually made a lifelong promise to a girl from a brothel, and even threatened me with a marriage contract, saying that he would marry me after entering the house.
, he wanted to take that woman as his concubine, but his parents didn’t dare to break off the engagement and offend Prince Jing’s palace, so they actually agreed to it.”
"I didn't know that it was the Zhou family who proposed to advance the wedding." Princess Qingyun's eyes were slightly red with grievance, "It wasn't long after the incident with the Zhou family girl happened, and she said she wanted to suppress the Zhou family girl.
But I felt something was wrong, so I had someone check it out and I found out about it."
Lu Hanzhi thought to himself that the Zhou family didn't know how to raise their children. The daughter would run away with someone else. If the son made trouble again and insisted on bringing home a brothel girl, the Zhou family's reputation would be completely ruined. No wonder that
Ping Nanhou and his wife will agree to their son's unreasonable request. However, Princess Qingyun is different from her. She is a dignified princess, so the Zhou family is not afraid that Prince Jing's Mansion will know the truth?
"When I first learned about this, I was angry and at a loss. I didn't dare to tell my mother and concubine directly. I only told my eldest sister quietly. But my eldest sister said that seeing that the wedding was approaching, my father loved reading the most and the most.
Talking about the rules and reputation of scholars, if I want to break off the engagement, or break off the engagement for this reason, not only will my reputation be ruined, but the reputation of the palace will also be ruined. He also said that all men in the world are like this, no matter what they marry in the future
No one is immune to these things, it's not as good as this Zhou family, that person comes from a disgraceful background and I can easily take care of him."
Princess Qingyun has a weak temperament, but she is not stupid. Even though she was thinking of her, she still felt that something was wrong. Besides, even though she was born in the royal family and had seen all kinds of things, Princess Qingyun was just a ten-year-old.
A five-year-old girl still has expectations for marriage and the future, but knowing that if she remarries to the Zhou family, her life can be said to be over.
Lu Hanzhi felt something was wrong when he heard this. Although he was trying to persuade his sister to make peace but not to break up at this time, the Zhou family did such a thing and persuaded her sister to swallow her anger. Is it really what her sister should do? It's just the relationship between the sisters. Lu Hanzhi
It was hard to say anything, but just regarding the Zhou family's affairs, Lu Hanzhi knew what Princess Qingyun wanted to ask, and replied: "If Princess Qingyun wants to ask me, she will naturally answer the question."
Seeing Princess Qingyun's hesitant look, Lu Hanzhi continued: "I won't say anything else, but I just want to be a sister with a brothel girl. Can the princess accept it?"
The women who live in brothels are all pitiful people. In terms of talents and character, not to mention Lu Hanzhi, even those famous talented women may not be better than them. But no matter what time, marriage is never a matter of one person. At this time,
, the family really accepted a brothel girl, and the brothers and sisters in the family will be implicated in the marriage of the children in the future. Who can accept it? It is not impossible to find a way to whitewash her identity, but there is no airtight wall in the world.
Therefore, although there are some people who marry out of good deeds, most of them are from merchant families, and people who respect the rules will never agree to it.
"..." Princess Qingyun was silent, feeling that the fog in her heart had been cleared away. Yes, what should she do if she thinks so much? The point is that she would never accept being a sister with such a person. The pride of her clan's noble daughter
It's not allowed, and your status as the princess does not allow it.
"Thank you, Sister Lu. I was the one who was confused before." Princess Qingyun breathed out, and her somewhat gloomy face was full of energy. "I only thought about the shame of this matter, but I forgot that if I was really confused,
Marrying someone in a fool’s errand, it’s a big joke that I, a good princess, have to force myself to marry such a person!”
