Chapter 179 The scene is embarrassing
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was stunned.
"puff--"
The shock caused by Qian Xun's words was too great. Gu Yunji couldn't hold back and squirted the tea that had just been brought to his mouth clean.
Gu Yunji raised his hand to wipe the water stains around his mouth, almost thinking that he heard wrongly, with a look of disbelief on his face: "What did you just say?"
Qian Xun had been holding back his deep longing for ten years, and now he finally had the opportunity to express his feelings to Xu Shuhua in person. After a long period of suppression and restraint, the occasional exposure of his emotions was like a flood, which made him extra courageous.
At this moment, looking at the shocked eyes of everyone in the hall, he not only did not feel ashamed, but instead puffed out his chest with dignity and said firmly: "I said, I want to marry Miss Xu as..."
"Cough cough cough!" Xu Chengyu's harsh cough came, interrupting Qian Xun's unfinished words.
Xu Chengyu's expression remained unchanged, pretending as if nothing had happened, and changed the subject as if nothing had happened: "...What, I have a few peach trees in my back garden, and the flowers have been blooming very well these past two days. Why don't we go and have a look?"
"
Qian Song was also caught off guard by his son's move. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do. Hearing this, he quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, it's late spring now. If you want to see flowers in two days, you won't be able to see them. I
My favorite is pear blossoms, let’s go see them now.”
After saying that, he immediately stood up, grabbed Qian Xun's clothes and walked out, acting in a panic as if he was fleeing the scene.
"Father!" However, Qian Xun was dissatisfied. He threw away Qian Song and held his hand, "What flowers are you looking at at this time? Besides, Mr. Xu said that there were peach trees in the back garden, but you said you were looking for pear blossoms.
You didn’t even hear clearly!”
Qian Xun's brain was so weak that he couldn't feel the strange and awkward atmosphere in the hall at all. Seeing that his confession was interrupted, he said angrily: "We are here to propose marriage today, not to see flowers, Miss Xu.
You haven’t answered my question yet, what are you going to do in a hurry?”
Hearing this, Xu Shuhua, who was already extremely embarrassed, turned a little pale instantly.
Answer? How should she answer? Although she knew that the Qian family and his son were here to propose marriage today, she never expected that Qian Xun would be so bold as to directly ask her if she would like to marry him in front of so many people in the hall.
Since ancient times, marriage has been ordered by the parents and the matchmaker. Even if you go to your beloved's home to propose marriage, the matchmaker should take the lead and the parents of both parties should look at each other and discuss it, rather than the person involved personally asking for marriage. If the elders were not present today, otherwise it would be with money.
Because of Xun's outrageous words and deeds, Xu Shuhua was afraid that he would be kicked out as a prostitute.
She didn't understand how the introverted little boy who was shy and shy ten years ago and didn't even dare to talk to strangers had become so straight-tempered as he grew up that his mind was as broad and straight as a road, with no curves at all.
Can't turn.
Xu Shuhua pursed her lips tightly, her face gradually turned from red to pale, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost turned into knots. Especially when she realized that Gu Yunji was still in the hall, she suddenly became even more embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
What to do.
The tacit understanding was exposed by his son, and Qian Song had no more steps to go down. He was anxious and annoyed for a moment, and wanted to cover Qian Xun's mouth: "What answer? We are here as guests today.
, you just have to meet Miss Xu once, why are you still pestering her? Let’s go see the flowers!”
Qian Xun's eyes widened in surprise and he looked at Qian Song incomprehensibly: "Father, what are you talking about? The gifts we brought are all still outside the door. How can we just be guests? We are here.
I beg you to marry me, father!”
When Qian Song heard this, blood rushed to his forehead. He was embarrassed and angry at the same time. He almost wanted to slap his son on his unreasonable head, but everyone was watching. He couldn't hit him even if he wanted to, and his face was blue from holding it in.
.
How could he not know that they were here to ask for marriage? But Xu Chengyu looked reluctant at the beginning. He was only concerned about the face of the two families and did not express it directly. If he pursued it at that time, wouldn't he just give it to him?
Opportunities that were clearly rejected?
In this case, the best choice is of course to put the matter of marriage proposal aside and let Qian Xun and Xu Shu look at each other first so that they can visit again later, leaving some room for change.
Qian Xun has been an obedient and sensible child since he was a child. He has always done whatever his parents asked him to do, and rarely has independent thoughts. When he was 21 years old, he did not ask his father Qian Song until he had finished all the examinations.
He revealed his heart and said that he had admired the daughter of the Xu family for a long time. If he succeeded in this examination, he hoped that Qian Song could take him to the Xu family to propose marriage.
It was rare for his son to make a request to him when he was so old, not to mention that the Xu family matched his own family, so Qian Song naturally had nothing to refuse, so as soon as Qian Xun passed the exam, he fulfilled his promise and brought him with him
Na Caili came to Xu's house to ask for her hand in marriage.
Qian Song had inquired before coming here. Xu Chengyu was such a daughter. He had taught her how to teach and be courteous since she was a child. It hurt as much as her eyes, so she would definitely not give it to anyone easily. In addition, the Xu family did not have a mistress, so she had to rely on the female relatives in the backyard.
Listen to the conversation between
There was no way to go. Qian Xun was worried that Xu Chengyu would not agree, so he only brought Na Cai Li without a matchmaker, making the marriage proposal semi-formal and informal, so that even if he was rejected, he could still leave a layer of window paper.
, it’s not all hopeless.
Qian Song had calculated everything, but he had never considered that his son, who had always been reserved and quiet, was as stupid as a fool when it came to the relationship between men and women. He only knew how to pour out his emotions in front of his sweetheart.
, without even the slightest sense of propriety. In just a few words, the window paper he worked so hard to maintain was pierced until dawn, making everyone in the room embarrassed and unable to come to the stage.
In addition to Xu Chengyu and Qian Song, there were also servants and maids in the hall, as well as foreign guests Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan. Qian Xun caused this scene in front of so many people inside and outside. I am afraid that the two families will not even be able to communicate with each other in the future.
It's embarrassing. Qian Song might have to go around Xu Shujing when he goes to court tomorrow, let alone whether he wants to marry or not.
Seeing Qian Song's livid face and remaining silent, Qian Xun was anxious and urged: "Father, please speak! The Nacai gift we brought was prepared by you seven days ago..."
"What's the gift? It's a wedding gift given to Mr. Xu to celebrate his passing the Gongshi examination!" Qian Song was so angry that his temples were beating. He was afraid that Qian Xun would say something embarrassing again, so he just said it in desperation.
I wanted to quickly stop my son from talking, so I yelled this casually, not caring how outrageous it was.
After yelling at his son, Qian Song took a deep breath, forced a smile and said to Xu Chengyu: "Since the good news has been delivered, we, father and son, will not stay any longer and will say goodbye."
After that, Qian Song didn't wait for anyone else to react, and forcefully dragged Qian Xun out of the door.
