Chapter 479 Answer
Li Lijun was also stunned.
This was something she would never expect from Lin Jiulang to hear.
Any special contact or conversation between her and Lin Jiulang will make the other party feel affair? Absolutely not! When we met last time, Lin Jiulang was already a teenager, and she was still a little girl under ten years old. What kind of feelings can he have for her? The two of them were getting along like playmates, at most he would tell her about her heart's worries and have a partner to talk to. If she had any inconvenience to tell her family, she would also say a few words to him. But she had to hide too much, and she also had the intention of coaxing and fooling him.
For example, she fooled Lin Jiulang to make suggestions to Duke Lin, pulled Zhang Qiantuo off the post of Yunnan Prefect, and strived to eliminate the cause of the Tianbao War, but she was only a final failure.
She also hoped that the prescription for treating miasma would have a little impact on the Tianbao War. It was quite smooth at first, and the Tang army also gained the upper hand. Unfortunately, a mysterious fire destroyed the medicinal material warehouse, changed everything, and brought the battle back to the "right track" of history.
In the past two years, as Duke Lin went to Lingnan to take office, Duke Lin's wife took the juniors to live in Luoyang for a long time, and Li Lijun and Lin Jiulang had few chances to meet. When Lin Sanniang married her third uncle Li Lang as a successor, the two families became serious in-laws, and there was still no contact between the younger generations. Li Lijun heard that Lin Jiulang was visiting today, just to greet her friends. She had no idea about Lin Jiulang, and she did not expect Lin Jiulang to ask her such questions.
The future husband? What can she have any ideas? She didn't leave a place for such a role in her mind.
When she was still a young lady who was not very experienced in the world, even though she was busy working hard to complete various tasks in Ziwei Tianyu's mission world every day, she had thoughts about feelings. She had walked through so many worlds and had met various men with handsome appearance, talented, upright character, gentle and considerate behavior to court "her". However, except for giving different responses to the other party according to her character's character, she did not dare to think about it at all.
This is not only because of the warnings from the teachers and seniors in the team, but also because there is the actual conditions there - she is the identity of others, looks like others, and lives with other people's names. No one's love words to her are for her. Even if she is moved and accepted by the other party's confession, it is just a love story that belongs to others and has nothing to do with her. When she leaves that mission world, she will not be able to stay anything.
Now she can live her own life with her identity, appearance and name, but there is an extreme and willful powerful man in the sky above her head who is controlling all the people and things in this world. She has not yet established a foundation and has contacted her masters and companions. How dare she indulge herself at this time?!
Even if she was weak for a moment and accepted Lin Jiulang's feelings, God knows that one day the powerful man could make him completely forget himself and even regard himself as his enemy?
No matter how I think about it, Li Lijun doesn’t think that now is the time for her to consider emotional issues. When she succeeds in her cultivation in the future, her cultivation will at least have Golden Pills and Nascent Souls, and Xuan Tang’s small world no longer needs to be controlled by that powerful person. Maybe she will be in the mood to find a suitable partner for herself, right?
Li Lijun looked up at Lin Jiulang. He was still looking at her seriously, waiting for her answer.
After a while, Lin Sanniang finally came to her senses and grabbed her nephew angrily, questioning: "What are you talking nonsense in front of her little lady?"
"Aunt, my nephew is not talking nonsense!" Lin Jiulang said to her seriously, "Since my mother asked about my marriage, I naturally have to think it carefully. I don't want to live a life with a strange lady, and among the little ladies I know, the fourth lady gets along the way with me the most harmonious and comfortable. The fourth lady is a few years younger than me, but she is generally of the same age. Our Duke Lin's mansion and the Sui Wang Mansion are also compatible, so my aunt married her.
The three princes and the world also say that it is a good marriage. Since this is the case, there is no mismatch between me and the Fourth Lady. Today I will ask the Fourth Lady if I think I am quite pleasing to you. If the Fourth Lady thinks I am okay, I will go back and ask my mother to come forward and make the marriage agreement first. In the future, the family will no longer need to worry about my marriage. I just concentrate on practicing martial arts, strive to make more military achievements, and earn a good future for myself, and will not insult the Fourth Lady of the Sui Palace in the future."
Lin Sanniang was so angry that she said nothing: "You still have to talk nonsense! How old are you, you dare to say such things in front of the young lady! You didn't tell me clearly to my aunt in advance. If I had known that you were making such a fool of yourself, I wouldn't have brought you here!"
"What can't be said?" Lin Jiulang disagreed with his aunt's anger. "I have lost my father since I was a child, and my mother dared not make any decisions when encountering problems. The fourth lady has lost her mother since she was a child. Although she has a father, she has no way to rely on her. People like us should think about ourselves and plan for future life early. Things are difficult to predict, and the war is good, and they may lose everything because of an inexplicable fire. Being prepared early is better than being helpless when the accident comes."
He looked at Li Lijun and solemnly promised her: "If the Fourth Lady lives with me, I will definitely not let you suffer grievances. I will never do things like favoring concubines and killing wives! I will work hard to make a future, so that you can be decent in front of others, and have rich and graceful food after others. I dare not say that I will definitely be able to stand out and have a great position, but I can still have a wealth and stable life. If the Fourth Lady thinks I am not too bad..."
Li Lijun reached out to stop him from continuing and said: "Jiulang doesn't need to say anything more. I already understand your thoughts, and I can see that you are sincerely asking me. But I have to say sorry to you because I can't agree to you."
Lin Jiulang was stunned for a moment, then sighed and drooped his head: "That's right, I'm not a handsome young man, I just chatted with you for a few days when I was a child. Suddenly speaking, the words of getting married were too suddenly..."
Li Lijun smiled and said, "Not only that, in fact, I never thought of getting married. Now I am still young. In another year or two, I will report to my elders and become a monk and a woman. Even if you are a handsome young man, the answer I give you will not be different - in fact, you are very good, but I am not suitable."
"What?!" Lin Jiulang was shocked. Lin Sanniang turned her head and stared at Li Lijun: "Is this the truth about Li Niang? This is not a joke! Why didn't my aunt listen to your third uncle?!"
Li Lijun said: "I mentioned it before Ahon, Grandma and Aye, but they probably didn't take it seriously. But I have told the people who are serving around me and reported it to her in front of Ah Niang's spirit. My intentions have been decided and I have changed it without any intention."
She briefly mentioned her mother's misfortune in marriage and used her father Li Dai as a negative example, which shows that she had no expectations for marrying and having children. However, Princess Yuzhen and other seniors in the royal family who became monks and became female crowns were good positive demonstrations, which made her yearning for female crowns’ life.
With the Sui Palace as your backer, I am rich and have no shortage of loyal servants and guards. So what if I don’t get married for the rest of my life? Isn’t this kind of life a good woman?
Li Lijun asked Lin Sanniang this question. Lin Sanniang was speechless.
Why doesn’t it taste good? If she had such conditions, she would rather be a free and free female crown!
I feel like I'm already doing well, only a few coughs left, but I always feel something is wrong...
