Chapter 242 The big melon from earlier is finally eaten up
Lu Xinran flipped through Zhang Shuier's booklet and carefully read what Cui Shenglin said when he came to her privately.
[This guy is really good. He actually promised that after marriage, Zhang Er will be the only one for him. ]
[She also said that if he had second thoughts, she could do whatever she wanted with him. Tsk, she even wrote a letter of commitment and signed her name.]
[The promise letter even stated that if they didn't have a son in the future, he could adopt one from his brother's family, and he would never take a concubine.]
[He also showed this letter of commitment to his mother, and she even put her fingerprints on it!]
Lu Xinran was surprised. If Cui Shenglin had only told Zhang Shuier about his promise in private, this would have been just a little interest between the two of them.
But the nature of the matter is different after it passes the elders’ door.
She looked at Zhang Shui'er, who was so embarrassed that she could hardly sit still, and the congratulations in her eyes became serious.
"Cui Wu has a cheerful and open-minded personality. He likes you and will treat you well in the future. This is a good marriage."
Since she said it was a good marriage, Zhang Shui'er naturally thought it was great too.
Moreover, she always felt shy towards Cui Shenglin, which she had never felt before towards Song Junyan.
She didn't understand what it was, but now whenever she received a little thing sent to her house by Cui Shenglin, she felt extremely happy.
"Lu Er, he said that he has loved practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he likes riding horses because he hopes that he can go to the battlefield and become a general one day."
Speaking of this, she felt a little uneasy: "Do you think he will run to the border in the future?"
She couldn't tell whether she was afraid that something might happen to him or that his actions would arouse the emperor's new suspicion.
After all, the Duke's Mansion has not yet lived a peaceful life. If the emperor misunderstands that they are still reluctant to give up military power, wouldn't that cause trouble?
"I don't think you need to worry so much. Besides, the war on the border is intense right now. If he can join the army, he might be able to gain some military merits."
It is better to hold some official position than to be a playboy all your life.
How can a person with ambitions be willing to live a mediocre life?
Zhang Shui'er was somewhat moved, but her tone was still hesitant, "Will this work? His own family wouldn't agree, right?"
If his family had been willing to let him join the army, they would have sent him out of Beijing long ago.
"It's a different time now. If you knew he was going to start a family now, and wanted to start a career after getting married, wouldn't you agree?"
The teasing tone made Zhang Shuier, who had just relaxed, blush again.
She kept this matter in mind and planned to discuss it with her grandfather after returning.
"Oh, right," talking about Zhang Shui'er's marriage, Lu Xinran thought of something he heard at the border: "Your cousin from the Qiu family recognized Gu Zixian from the Gu family. He is now in Hanyu Pass. Do you know?"
Speaking of Gu Zixian, Zhang Shuier's good mood suddenly faded a little.
"Yes, I heard from my mother that he left Beijing after the New Year and was sent to a random place.
"The previous incident was so serious that his marriage was also greatly affected. The An family and An Qingyu never gave up and always looked for opportunities to stop him.
"An Qingyu has been trying to commit suicide and has been threatening him with suicide at every turn.
"He couldn't stand it, and neither could the Gu family. I heard from my mother that General Gu personally went to His Majesty to ask for help, and His Majesty asked the Ministry of Personnel to find him a post outside the capital.
"He left in a hurry, and the Ministry of Personnel was taken care of by General Gu, so no one knows where he went."
If Lu Xinran hadn't mentioned it today, she would have forgotten that Gu Zixuan had left Beijing to escape the disaster.
Lu Xinran didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns. Although she stayed in Hanyu Pass for half a month, she never saw Gu Zixuan once.
She just missed it every time, so she could only wonder and not be able to finish eating the whole melon through the system.
Zhang Shui'er listened to her thoughts and kept complaining in her heart.
If she were Gu Zixuan, she would definitely have to avoid this guy, otherwise all his troubles in the capital would be known to his colleagues the moment they were exposed.
The gossip from before the New Year was finally caught up, and Lu Xinran was in a good mood, but he still asked another question out of curiosity.
"What about An Qingyu? Will she stop making trouble now that Gu Zixian has left the capital?"
"How could she not make trouble? She still goes to the Gu family's doorstep every now and then to make trouble, saying that she and Gu Zixuan have been engaged, and that she is Gu Zixuan's legal wife, and they can't keep her out."
When Zhang Shuier talked about An Qingyu, her mood could no longer be described as complicated.
"The An family wants to take over the Gu family, so let her do what she wants. But she is really brave enough to do it. If it were us..."
She couldn't help shivering at the thought of being laughed at by everyone in the capital, and being drowned by their spit.
Lu Xinran also felt that An Qingyu had great perseverance!
Everyone has fled the capital, but she hasn't given up yet.
"Let's not talk about her," Zhang Shui'er suddenly came up and winked: "Tell me about you and the King of Wei, are you on this journey together, huh?"
"Um what?"
Lu Xinran raised her hand and pushed the person away: "We are engaged, so it makes sense for us to go to the border together."
"You know that's not what I'm asking!"
Zhang Shui'er was dissatisfied. It was unreasonable for her private life to be turned upside down.
What's going on between this guy and Song Junyan now?
The Queen Mother in the palace is still curious. After she finds out, she can go to the palace and tell the Queen Mother.
Lu Xinran looked at her speechlessly: "Then what do you want to ask? Between him and me, isn't it the case that men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough?"
Moreover, it was a marriage arranged by the emperor, so there was no way to escape.
Zhang Shuier: “…”
Is this guy really slow, or is he pretending to be stupid?
"What about you? What do you think of this marriage?"
"This marriage? It's okay, right?"
Song Junyan is a prince after all. When she entered the palace, she became a princess and a proper master. She didn't have to serve or respect anyone, nor did she have to be submissive all day long. No matter how you looked at it, she had many advantages.
Zhang Shuier wanted to raise her hand and knock her head open to see what was inside.
"What about you? His Highness the Prince of Wei is dignified and noble. Don't you like him?"
Lu Xinran immediately gave her a look that said "you're crazy" and said, "How can your mind only have vulgar things like love and romance!"
How can a relationship between lovers be as stable as that between partners?
If you want to live a long life, rationality is essential.
Love and affection will only slow down the speed at which they draw their swords.
Zhang Shuier: “…”
This guy is crazy!
She was just waiting for the day when she would be slapped in the face.
In the private room upstairs, Song Junyan was sitting there discussing things with others.
When he heard the voice in his heart, he felt a little dazed.
Why can't they be lovers?
They were meant to get married, become a family, and partners…If she was the only one for him in the future, why couldn’t they go further?
