Chapter Thirty-Third: Force Helpless Shanbao to Conspiracy
The ancients did pay attention to the orders of parents and matchmakers. Although the Manchus were ethnic minorities, since Shunzhi entered the pass, emperors of all dynasties have sought experience in governing the country from the history of the Han people. Kangxi and Qianlong were even more proficient in Sinology and were effective from the upper and lower levels. The Manchus were seriously sinicized, and some traditional customs were gradually approaching the Han people, which naturally included weddings and funerals.
Since Emperor Wu of Han abolished all schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, Confucianism has always been regarded as a classic. Not only do literati and scholars speak Confucius and Mencius, but even those ordinary people have been influenced by the long-term influence, they have used Confucian principles of self-cultivation as the criterion for daily behavior.
Marriage and funerals are important events for people. "If you marry a wife, you must tell your parents; if you marry a wife, you cannot be married without a matchmaker" (Book of Songs, Qi Feng, Nanshan) "Both men and women are not well-known if they are not matchmakers" ("Book of Rites, Qu Li". Under such influence, let alone the Qing Dynasty, even in the later generations of Heshen, the men and women love each other, even if they are their own partners, they have to find a matchmaker before getting married, which shows how far-reaching the impact is.
Therefore, when Elezette repeatedly reiterated that Yinglian had agreed to his proposal and accepted the betrothal gift, even if he was as noble as Hong Zhoutanger, he would not have the will to think about Wu Mi and Hong Xing and others. If Feng Wenwen had not been strong in this matter, Feng Yinglian would have sent someone to ask him not to return several times, maybe they had already found someone to choose Jiaqi and were waiting for the big red sedan to carry it home.
Wu Mi and the others suddenly became frustrated like eggplants made of frost. Only Elezette looked at everyone proudly. However, when his eyes fell on Heshen, he found that Heshen's face was still calm and he seemed to be indifferent. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart. He couldn't guess what he had to have any trump card. He couldn't help asking, "Heshen, what else do you have? You came from Xian'an Palace and are also considered a scholar. You won't even ignore the words of the saints, right?"
"Brother Shanbao...I..." Feng Wenwen was anxious and angry, and she wanted to make a big fuss, but she couldn't catch it. She felt like her chest was pressed on a huge rock. She was so stuffy that she couldn't breathe. She could only look at Shanbao like asking for help, hoping that he could create a miracle again.
In fact, Heshen had already expected this situation and had thought of a countermeasure, so he was not panicked in the face of Elezette's aggressiveness. However, when he saw Feng Wenwen's eyes whirling and looking at him pitifully, he couldn't help but hesitate - would he treat her like this?
"Wenwen, are you really willing to marry me?"
"Well," Heshen's words were like straw. Feng Wenwen was the drowning man. When she heard this, she nodded quickly, and tears still hung on her long eyelashes. She stared at Heshen without blinking, her expression full of expectation.
Hongzhou, Tang'er, Elezhete, Wu Mishi, Hongxing, Fangqing, and Yindi, the whole room was betting on Heshen. Everyone savored a different meaning from his words. Not only Elezhete's heartbeat accelerated, but everyone's heartbeat turned into a wild horse that broke away from reins at this moment.
"As long as you can marry me, you won't regret it no matter what I do?" Heshen asked again.
"I don't regret it. I'm not afraid of death for you!" Feng Wenwen savored Heshen's words, felt more hope. She said word by word, staring at Heshen affectionately, and had long forgotten the shame of etiquette.
Is this the power of love? Everyone stared at the two of them blankly and became a little confused for a moment. Including Elezette, looking at Feng Wenwen's infatuation, he not only had a strong jealousy towards Heshen, but even had a different thought: they were originally a couple, and if Gao Heng and the others had not instigated me, I would not have done such a thing as breaking up a couple, just because he sealed the immortal ointment shop that harmed people? Is it worth being this evil man to be a bad name?
"Okay, I'll be relieved if you say this," Heshen was not a stern heart. Not to mention that he had seen through his heart's knots and fell in love with Feng Wenwen. Even if not, a little girl swore to herself that she was not afraid of death for herself. He would be moved. A sudden burst of passion suddenly surged in his heart, radiant, and said word by word: "Remember one thing, no matter what outsiders say about you, in my heart, you will always be my wife. With me a pancake, you will have half of you, and with me a bowl of porridge, you will have half of you. Whoever wants to hurt you, it's easy to say, step on my body!"
After saying that, Feng Wenwen couldn't react, and took her into her arms, leaned her head and kissed her lips.
"Shanbao, you...?"
Everyone was shocked and took a breath of air conditioning at the same time - do you want the defense of ethics and education? Do you make such intimate actions in front of so many people, especially without any status, and it is reported that Feng Wenwen will have the face to see people in the future?
Feng Wenwen's whole body became stiff, and her brain suddenly turned blank. She slapped her arms and let Heshen hug her like a wooden stake.
Heshen had no other concerns. This was what he had thought long ago, so he hugged Feng Wenwen hard in his arms, first touching Feng Wenwen's cold lips with his lips. Without kissing them deeply, he kissed the tears on her face first, and then covered her lips again, stuck out his tongue, and licked her teeth.
At this time, Feng Wenwen had already reacted from the shock, and suddenly panicked in her heart: "Is my brother crazy again by Elezette? Is there no room for madness? Why is my life so miserable?" Tears that had just been kissed by Heshen surged out again, and she suddenly hugged Heshen tightly, thinking to herself: "Die it, die, see whoever you like, I will be intimate with my brother this time, I will go home later. He has just been promoted, and he can't get tired of him because of me... At worst, don't worry, brother, I will definitely not marry that bad guy..."
She misunderstood Heshen's intention, but also let go of her worries, devoted herself to the intimacy with Heshen, and gradually forgot everything. In the world, nothing is important, only her, only him. At this moment, for her, it is a farewell and eternal! She must understand Heshen's good deeds and engrave all this in her heart: "Goodbye brother, don't worry, Naihe Bridgehead, I will never drink that bowl of Mengpo soup. I want to remember you, wait for me, I will definitely come to you again!"
"Enough!" The regret that had just risen in Elezette's heart had been completely replaced by anger. He couldn't bear it anymore. He shouted loudly, raised the teacup at hand, and threw it to the ground. The teas splashed and the teacup shattered, just like his heart at this moment, fragmented and breathless.
"Paji--"
The voice woke the two who were embracing each other affectionately, and Feng Wenwen pushed Heshen away like a frightened rabbit. Thoughts on it, she was a pretty girl after all, so she still wanted face.
Heshen looked a little unsatisfied, glanced at Elezette, who was blushing and said with a smile: "Oh, sorry, I forgot that everyone is here-Wenwen and I are in love with each other, and I can't control myself for a while. I'm sorry... I said cousin, what did you say just now? Oh, by the way, the matchmaker's words are right? But look... I admit that you are a cousin and have a good family background. Don't look at Wenwen's beautiful appearance, she is really not worthy of you. You treat her like this, I really shouldn't stop you, but you also saw her..."
