Chapter 39
It's late at night and people are quiet.
The small Zhangqiu County town was closed early, with no pedestrians on the street.
There were still a few oil candles in the west wing room in the backyard of the county government. The daughter of the county magistrate Zhang Yichen was sitting at the table, holding her cheek with one hand and playing with a comb with the other. Her eyes were dazed, but she had no idea where she was going.
"Miss, go to bed earlier. It's getting late. It's already two o'clock in the morning. If you don't sleep, it will be until midnight." The close-fitting maid, the maid, had already put her eyelids on her upper eyelids and was so sleepy that she was too sleepy, but the little lady sat there and refused to sleep.
She rubbed her eyes, yawned, picked up a large burqa from the bed and put it on the little lady, and complained in a low voice, "That Qin Qiong is really a naughty person. The little lady gave him the close-fitting things, but why didn't she understand the little lady's wishes at all? She accepted the things, but she still didn't have a message yet."
"Little lady, let me tell you that Qin Qiong is not as smart as Luo Wulai. As soon as he came into the city, he asked someone to give him a message to the little lady and gave him a pair of cute white rabbits. He was not like that Qin Er, but he was really two-year-old."
"You are not allowed to talk about Qin Erlanger." Zhang Runniang raised her hand and twisted it lightly on the red line's arm. Since that day, she met the blue-faced ghost at the foot of Changbai Mountain, Zhang Runniang's mind was full of the majestic young mansion soldier. He was like a hero. When she was most critical, she suddenly rode a tall and handsome horse, holding a golden mace in her hand, and descending from the sky like a god of war. His horse was so chic, and the ferocious thief could not even beat him for a round.
"Although Luo Wu is smart and sensible, he is still a young man, so he is not as majestic as Qin Erlang." Zhang Runniang's voice was filled with the scent of a girl's love for spring. "I have never met such a brave husband. In fact, I have always wanted to thank him for his life-saving grace in person, but I don't expect that there would be no chance to meet again after leaving that day."
After a long time, she sighed and said slowly, "You will never understand. When you meet someone, your mind will be filled with his feelings. It's like there is no man in this world who can replace his position in your heart."
"Red Line, I feel that I have been poisoned, poisoned by lovesickness, and I have nothing to save."
"The poison of lovesickness? I also think you have lovesickness. Your souls have been hooked away by the Qin Er. I have inquired. The Qin Er family has a good family. The Qin family in Licheng is also a century-old prominent family in Qi County. Although it has declined now, Qin Qiong is a handsome talent. Sooner or later, he can make a name for himself. He is a match with our Zhang family."
"Especially, I heard that Qin Er has never gotten married yet, nor has he heard of having an engagement. How about it? Is it just right for you to be your wife?"
"Make fun at me to tear your mouth apart." Although Runniang acted to pull the red line, her eyes shone brightly, and her eyebrows were full of joy and emotions, and she couldn't help but feel.
"Qin Erlang is indeed a good match. He is good at everything in terms of appearance, ability or family background, but I am afraid that she may not look down on me." Zhang Runniang was a little worried about gains and losses.
When men get married, women get married, and Runniang is indeed at the age of marriage. Because she is smart since childhood, she has always been favored by Zhang Yichen, so she is very different from other ladies. For her own lifelong affairs, she insists on choosing a virtuous son-in-law.
There were also many prominent families and children of officials in the area who wanted to come to propose marriage, but they could not pass the Runniang's stance. When she chose a son-in-law, she valued the most character and ability, and her family background and appearance were second.
"Why are you not worthy? Our Alang is a seventh-rank county magistrate and a Jinshi. The Zhang family has a famous family for generations. My little lady, your mother is also a woman from the Liu family in Nanyang. She is more than enough to match her. Besides, you are both talented and beautiful, and gentle and virtuous. If you take you, it will be a blessing for the Qin family to cultivate for several lifetimes."
Runniang looked at the red line.
"I think you are in a particularly good mood today. It seems that you just called Luo Wu and came back like this. Why, are you having a chance to have something to do with him?"
"What a chance? What's wrong with him? We're innocent." Hongxian quickly defended.
"Oh, is that right? Then why did the amulet you usually carry close to is gone after you come back? Do you dare to say that you gave it to Luo Wulang?"
"Oh, little lady, why do you have to say anything? I hate it. I just thank Luo Wu for saving my life, so I gave him something. I hope he won't encounter thieves on his way to Qijun this time."
"You are still stubborn. If you like it, you like it. If you like it, it is not a shameful thing. I think Luo Wulang is not bad. Although he is a little younger, he seems to be very mature, mature, and has a good look. But his family is not in a bad condition. If you like him, I will help you. You have followed me since you were a child. I have always regarded you as a sister. The family has never registered you as a slave in the government. You are still a good citizen. There is no problem in marrying Luo Wu."
When talking about his own affairs, Hong Line couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
Although the people in the Zhang family did not regard her as a slave, and she was indeed not a slave, she knew in her heart that she was a slave of the Zhang family. As a slave, she actually had no freedom of marriage. When she was old, the head of the family would choose a similar slave to let them get married and match them. In this way, if they gave birth to children, they would become slaves in the family, which was also an increase in property value.
Or maybe, like her, the personal maid who is loved by the little lady, will marry with the little lady and marry into the husband's house there in the future. Perhaps she will become the maid of the little lady's husband and serve the prince with the little lady.
"Miss, I think although Luo Wu is very nice to me and speaks sweetly to me, it seems that he doesn't like me at all. He is just a polite person on the surface." Hong Shi said.
"You little girl, do you know what it means to be good at heart and appearance."
"It's true. Luo Wu's eyes were incorrect when he looked at me. But his brother stared at me as scary as a wolf. I hate that person. But although Luo Wu spoke very gentle and polite to me, he didn't have that kind of liking in his eyes. He must look down on me, a girl." Hong Shi said with some loss.
Although Qin Qiong is very heroic, Hong Shi has never expected anything. She is more real. Qin Qiong doesn't think about it, but Luo Wu is also pretty good.
But what made her feel disappointed was that Luo Wu was indeed good, but she could feel that Luo Wu didn't like her.
He doesn't hate her, but he doesn't like her, which is a kind of intuition.
"He dares, why should he look down on our Red Line? When he comes back from Qi County, I will ask him to settle the score."
