Chapter 115 Maybe I want to use this marriage as a bargaining chip?
But my heart was full of excitement, and if I agreed so quickly, I would inevitably fall behind. So Chu Run naturally bowed his hand to the other party and declined: "Thank you Miss Weng for your kindness. The next scholar will participate in the Autumn Festival this year. For the time being,
I have no plans to get married."
Not yet, does that mean there will be another chance in the future?
Weng Xiaohuan was delighted and immediately tugged on Weng Zhenhai's sleeve.
Weng Zhenhai understood what she meant, coughed slightly, and said: "It doesn't matter if we don't get married this year. As long as we finalize the marriage first, are our Caobang still afraid that your Weng family will regret it?"
Seeing that Chu Run had a tendency to agree, Shi Chunfen immediately pulled him aside and said eagerly: "Arun, please think clearly, it is a matter of your life, how can you be easily coerced by them?"
Seeing that she actually tried to persuade him, Chu Run raised his eyebrows slightly, "But if I don't agree, they won't help my eldest cousin clarify."
Shi Chunfen was stunned for a moment, and his expression became depressed, but he still persisted: "There will always be other solutions to your eldest cousin's matter. In short, the Chu family has no need to use your marriage as a bargaining chip."
Seeing that she was still sincere, Chu Run laughed, but while smiling, there was a bit of helplessness and sadness in his eyes, "Maybe... I want to use this marriage as a bargaining chip?"
"Ah?" Shi Chunfen looked at him blankly. She was not a fool. Chu Run had already mentioned this. How could she not understand what he meant? It was just that there was a huge gap between this young man and the unfazed young man in her impression.
It was too big, and the Chu Run she had in mind was not someone who would use the Caobang as a springboard.
But with the facts in front of him, Chu Run ignored the surprise in her eyes and looked directly at Weng Zhenhai and others, "I need to go back and report this matter to my elders in the family before we can discuss it in the long term. I hope Miss Weng can give me some time to think it over.
"
"No problem." Weng Xiaohuan said cheerfully: "Anyway, our Cao Gang is not the one who is anxious now."
The person who needs clarification is Chu Ling, rumors don't wait for anyone.
The longer it is delayed, the more unfavorable the situation will be for Chu Ling.
Shi Chunfen was also aware of this, so after getting their permission, he and Chu Run immediately left Weng's house and got on the carriage back to Chu's house.
Chu Run came all the way to this trip, and Chu Run was even whipped, but in the end he found nothing, and everyone's expressions were a little depressed.
Shi Chunfen looked at the wounds on Chu Run's face, took the initiative to take out the silk handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to his hand, "Wipe the blood on your face first."
Li Yan brought the bronze mirror in time. Chu Run looked at the hideous wounds on his face and was a little funny for a moment, "I didn't expect that my appearance was so damaged. Miss Weng was still interested in discussing marriage with me. She also
It’s really not picky!”
"Pfft!" Shi Chunfen succeeded in making him laugh. She rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "How long has it been and you are still in the mood to joke? Come out with me and inexplicably become the son-in-law of the Weng family.
, let’s see how you explain to grandma and the others after you go back!”
While cleaning the wound, Chu Run said with a smile: "What's there to explain? A mere concubine can get close to the eldest lady of the Cao Gang. I'm afraid it's too late for them to be happy, and they might send someone to the Weng family to propose marriage overnight.
"
Seeing him belittling herself in this way, the smile on Shi Chunfen's face faded. She subconsciously glanced at Li Yan and Sang Pi who pretended not to hear anything, and said awkwardly: "Don't think so, the eldest lady of the Cao Gang is also
You are not a fool. She can fall in love with you at first sight, which shows that you are extraordinary. Weng Zhenhai is the eldest son of the Weng family and a legitimate grandson, but he is not a loser. Therefore, in the face of people's abilities, the distinction between legitimate sons and concubines is not that big.
important."
"Really?" Chu Run smiled noncommittally.
But in his opinion, Weng Zhenhai, a mere loser, could still firmly sit as the heir of the Cao Gang. This was enough to prove how important the distinction between direct descendants and concubines was.
Just like him, no matter how hard he worked, in Chu Shun's eyes, he could never compare to his legitimate son Chu Quan.
He didn't want to be dragged down by his status as a concubine for the rest of his life. The position of Caobang's son-in-law would help him get rid of this title.
"Of course." Shi Chunfen didn't know Chu Run's thoughts and was still trying to persuade him, "After you go back, talk to your grandmother and the others. I think they will help you make the best choice."
.”
Seeing how innocent and kind she was, the aura she had just now in the Weng family completely disappeared.
Chu Run looked at her eyes with a little more interest. If a person has two sides, the two sides of the Spring Equinox can be regarded as the ultimate.
She is smart, she is confused, she is kind, and she is stupid.
Such a person has become the eldest mistress of the Chu family, and I don’t know what kind of fortune the eldest family will have in the future.
The carriage quickly drove back to Chu's house. Because of Chu Ling's matter, everyone had not gone back to their rooms to rest. They had been waiting for them to report the results. After finally waiting for them to come back, when they heard that the matter had not been negotiated, everyone suddenly had different expressions.
"What's the matter with you?" Chu Yan started to blame Shi Chunquin as soon as he opened his mouth. "I asked Caobang to agree to my request, but after all this trip, nothing was accomplished. Can you do it?"
"It's not like it's not done." Xue Jinxiu sneered, "Didn't you help our fourth young master Chu arrange a good marriage? Let him marry the eldest lady of the Cao Gang, which can be regarded as a good marriage."
"What kind of good marriage?" Chu Shun became anxious, "The eldest lady of the Caobang is famous for being unruly and willful. Our Arun has a gentle temper. If we marry that kind of unruly woman, we will be bullied to death by her.
?”
"How can it be that bad as you say?" Chu Gui said from the side: "I think the eldest lady of the Cao Gang is quite good. She is the legitimate daughter. Marrying Arun will not count as a loss for us."
"That's right!" Xue Jinxiu rolled her eyes at Chu Shun and said angrily: "Not everyone can be the son-in-law of Caobang. You don't know your son's virtues in your heart, and you still want to tell him how good his family is.
Marriage?"
"Any good marriage will work!" Chu Shun said with a black face: "In short, you can't marry an unruly wife!"
Seeing that everyone was about to start a quarrel, the old lady sighed, looked directly at Chu Run, and said warmly: "Arun, what are you thinking?"
Chu Run looked around at everyone and said with a faint smile: "I think Miss Weng is quite nice. What I saw today is that she is not as unruly as the rumors say, and she is quite polite to me."
Chu Shun was furious, "I slapped your face like this and still call you polite, are you mentally ill?"
Chu Quan sneered at the side, with disdain in his eyes, "Maybe Arun is good at this. Although Weng Xiaohuan is unruly, she is still the eldest lady of the Cao Gang. If he can win her favor, I am afraid he will be snickering in his heart.
