Chapter Forty-Four: The Spring in the Garden and Who Will It Go (1)
After the Heroes Competition was over, Mo Jianchen locked himself in Ya'an Hall and thought hard for three days.
That incident was his own fault, and he has to bear the consequences no matter what. Sister Zhiqing's reputation cannot be ruined, and he absolutely cannot ignore this matter. He must find a perfect way to successfully resolve this matter.
However, rumors have always spread the fastest. I am afraid that the longer it goes on, the more people will know about it. This kind of misunderstanding cannot be explained clearly, and even if it is explained, no one will believe it.
In the end, his decision was still Xiahou Wandai's original proposal, to marry Du Zhiqing.
This is the only best way to do it at the moment. Since a misunderstanding has arisen, let's just let it go.
My mother told herself that when she was young, she told Aunt Aqing that she wanted to marry Zhiqing's sister. Aunt Aqing also told her father as a joke that she wanted Zhiqing to be her daughter-in-law.
That day, my father jokingly told me that if I really wanted to marry Zhiqing's sister, I would remember to ask him to prepare a betrothal gift.
Since the relationship between the two families is so good, both parents like Zhiqing, and Aunt Aqing also approves of her, naturally it is not difficult to propose marriage.
Although it was just a joke, if he really told his father that he wanted to marry Zhiqing, his father would probably agree.
It is not difficult to propose a marriage. With the friendship between the elders, both families will definitely agree.
But the only difficult thing is that he has not yet become a disciple. He has been a teacher in Yuji Mountain for ten years and has not yet reached the age of becoming a disciple. According to the rules of the Yushan Sect, disciples who have not yet become a disciple are not allowed to get married.
If he really wanted to marry before becoming a martial artist, he would have no choice but to interrupt his journey as a martial artist. But his current age is at a critical juncture in martial arts training. If he were to become a martial arts martial artist at this moment, it would be very difficult for him, who was still relatively new in martial arts.
It is undoubtedly not a loss.
If you want to get a wife now, this matter must be taken into consideration.
But after some ideological struggle, he decided to give up martial arts training for Du Zhiqing. Compared to her reputation, his own future was not important at all. As long as he could keep her safe, he would rather give up all this.
After considering everything carefully, he decided to go to Du Zhiqing in person. First, he apologized for his previous impulsiveness, proposed marriage to her, and showed her that he was sincerely willing to marry her.
If she is still biased against him and refuses to marry him, then he can only use all his sincerity to influence her little by little. And treat her wholeheartedly, making her believe that she will not be wronged if she marries him, until she is willing to marry him.
for myself.
At present, this is the only way to save everything.
He didn't know what she had been doing in the past three days, or whether she was still worried about this matter. He thought it would be better to deal with this matter as soon as possible, so that he could have more peace of mind.
So the next day he went to Du Zhiqing and told her all his plans.
That day was a sunny day with clear skies. After getting up in the morning, he waited until his parents had left Ya'an Hall, then went to Luozhu Hall to find Du Zhiqing.
But there was no one in Luozhu Hall, and I didn’t know where she had gone. Later, when I asked Xiahou Wandai, I learned that Du Zhiqing had gone to Yunshui Residence to find the old pavilion master early in the morning, so he had no choice but to go to Yunshui.
Looking for her.
When he arrived at Yunshuiju's small house, Xia Houchen and Du Zhiqing were nowhere to be seen. After inquiring about Sasu's servants, he learned that Du Zhiqing had accompanied Xia Houchen to plant flowers and plants in the Baihua Garden, so he could only move.
Go to Baihui Garden.
The terrain in the middle of the clouds and water was winding and winding. It was really difficult to find the location of the Baihui Garden. He searched for a long time before he found the location of the Baihui Garden.
In this flower garden, hundreds of flowers are blooming, swallows are flying and butterflies are dancing. The whole garden is surrounded by wisps of fragrance, full of birdsong and the fragrance of flowers. It is really like a paradise on earth.
"Grandpa, you are tired, let's take a rest first!"
I saw Du Zhiqing accompanying Xia Houchen to plant a fruit tree. After planting the fruit tree, Du Zhiqing wiped the sweat from Xia Houchen's forehead with concern and said, "Grandpa, let me help you take a rest and drink some water."
"Hey, okay." With Du Zhiqing's support, Xia Houchen sat on the stone pier beside him.
Du Zhiqing poured another glass of water, handed it to Xia Houchen, and sat down with him.
Mo Jianchen looked at Du Zhiqing under a tree not far behind, and saw that her expression was as usual, and there was nothing strange about her. She was still chatting and laughing with the old pavilion master as before. It seemed that what happened before had no effect on her.
Her emotions had no impact.
His heart felt a little more at ease. He took a breath and swallowed it in his stomach. After calming down his confidence, he stepped forward and greeted Xia Houchen and Du Zhiqing with some solemnity: "
Old Pavilion Master, Sister Zhiqing."
"Jianchen, it's you." Xia Houchen turned around and saw that it was Mo Jianchen, so he smiled kindly at him and said, "How did you find this place?"
Mo Jianchen smiled respectfully: "I heard from the servants cleaning Yunshui Residence that the old pavilion master was here, so I looked for him. I happened to have nothing to do today, so don't think about having fun with the old pavilion master.
besides……"
He paused slightly, then cast his gaze on Du Zhiqing, condensing all his sincerity, and said, "There is also sister Zhiqing."
He went to look for the expression on Du Zhiqing's face, but he only saw that her face was pale, without any emotion or anger. There was a shallow layer of autumn in her eyes, and there was no fear or sadness, nor was there any fear or sadness when she met him in the past.
I was so excited, as if nothing had happened.
Her expression was unexpected by him. Before preparing to come to see him, he imagined the scene when he saw her again countless times.
No matter whether he is angry or sad, she will accept whatever he says or does, and she will be fully prepared. But she never expected that she would be so calm, which was completely within her expectation.
outside.
But the more he saw her looking so calm, the more flustered he became. He had no idea what her mood was like now, and he didn't know what he should do next.
Du Zhiqing remained silent, then Xia Houchen stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said: "That's right, Jianchen, you are here, you can play here with Zhiqing, I was busy just now
I felt a little tired after a while and wanted to go back and rest for a while.”
He turned his head again and said to Du Zhiqing: "Didn't you keep saying that you wanted to take Brother Chen to Baihui Garden for a while? It just so happens that your brother Chen is also here today. You two will take a stroll here first.
Well, grandpa will go back and rest for a while."
Du Zhiqing also stood up and nodded flatly. There was no wave in his voice. He just said: "Okay, grandpa, you go back and rest first."
Xia Houchen nodded and said again: "Well, grandpa is going back first. Grandpa will go back and cook some dishes for you. After you two finish playing, come back and have dinner with grandpa at noon."
Du Zhiqing nodded and answered with only one word: "Okay."
After that, Xia Houchen left the Baihui Garden. In this colorful paradise with birds singing and flowers fragrant, only Du Zhiqing and Mo Jianchen were left.
Du Zhiqing turned her head again and looked into Mo Jianchen's eyes. Her eyes were still clear, and there were shallow ripples in the autumn water in her eyes.
.. Her eyes were still light, and she could not detect any joy or anger, nor was she afraid or shy. She just looked into Mo Jianchen's eyes calmly.
Mo Jianchen did not expect that Du Zhiqing would agree to let the old pavilion master leave first. He originally thought that if Du Zhiqing didn't want to face him, he would definitely leave with the old pavilion master without leaving any chance for him to explain.
.
But she agreed to the old pavilion master without saying anything and left her alone, which was completely different from the past. Maybe she wanted to give herself a chance to explain. If that was the case, he should be happy.
She was still willing to listen to his explanation.
But he had a lot to say to her, but even though she was looking at her with such indifferent eyes, he didn't know how to speak. He had a lot of words on his lips, but at this moment, he couldn't even say a word.
In the end, it was Du Zhiqing who spoke first. The clear waves in her eyes flickered slightly, her eyes still fell on his eyes, and she said lightly, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
"I..." Mo Jianchen couldn't help but be speechless when she asked her so directly. Her reaction today was completely beyond all his expectations.
He had obviously made all the decisions, so how could he hesitate when facing her?
He sorted out his thoughts, calmed himself down, and spoke to Du Zhiqing solemnly, sincerely: "What happened in the Heroes Competition that day was my fault. I know I was wrong, and I apologize to you."
"But I really didn't know the rules of grabbing the thorn flower at the time. I just thought it was an ordinary competition, so I insisted on competing with you. Later, after I asked Junior Sister Wandai, I found out that there were such rules.
"
"After I learned the truth, I regretted it endlessly. I should never have insisted on getting on the horse before Junior Sister Wandai and you had finished talking, and caused this irremediable mistake."
"I really deserve death for damaging the honor of sister Zhiqing. But I have thought about all this clearly. I sincerely apologize to you for my original impulse today, and I will do my best to redeem the crime I committed."
All errors below."
"I will never let you bear the burden of rumors alone, and I will never let your reputation be damaged because of me."
"So?" Du Zhiqing still looked at him straightly, his face not changing at all, and asked bluntly: "So what are you going to do?"
Looking at her bright eyes, Mo Jianchen took a gentle breath, clenched his fists, as if he had made up all his determination, looked at her, and said firmly: "Sister Zhiqing, I have thought about it clearly, since
Everyone in Muzhou thinks that you and I have already entered into a marriage contract, so I will never go back on my word."
"Now that the matter has come to this, then, sister Zhiqing, please marry me. I am willing to marry you as my wife and promise you a glorious marriage. I will never act carelessly just to cope with it, causing you to suffer a loss."
