Qu Xiaonan looked down at him: "Why on earth did you ask me to come?"
Li Xiuye straightened up, sat up, put his hands on the chair to support his body, and looked at her condescendingly: "Miss Qu, I heard that you are looking for a bride..."
"What do you mean?" Qu Xiaonan didn't understand what he meant.
Li Xiuye smiled and thought: "Miss Qu will not forget that today it was you who held a sign on the street to recruit brides. I stepped on your sign and knew that I was in the wrong, so I came here to invite Miss Qu and asked Miss Qu if she dislikes me.
."
Qu Xiaonan was a little stunned. She didn't expect that Li Xiuye could be so direct! She originally just thought it was fun to put up a sign to attract a bride.
She never expected to find the person she loved, but when someone actually came to ask for her hand in marriage, Qu Xiaonan couldn't help but her heart beat faster. She wasn't sure that such a thing could happen to her.
Li Xiuye's reputation was not very good. Not many women were willing to marry him, and she was even less willing to marry him. But now that her brand was out, it was too late to go back on her word.
Seeing that she was silent and did not answer, Li Xiuye said again: "Don't worry, Miss Qu. Even though you don't look like me, I will naturally be responsible for Miss Qu."
When Qu Xiaonan faced this stunned confession, she was speechless.
"Brother, we have known each other for less than three hours, and we still don't understand each other..." Qu Xiaonan asked, scratching his head.
Li Xiuye pinched the string of beads on his wrist, waved it gently, pursed his lips and said, "If Miss Qu cares about this, I can introduce myself to Miss Qu.
I come from a clean family and have never done anything immoral. I have no father or mother and am alone. My family is wealthy.
If Miss Qu feels that it is too dangerous for me to be a general and I will lose my life at any time, I might as well add one more thing. If I die on the battlefield, everything in the house including all my family property will belong to Miss Qu." His words were loud and sonorous.
It was so powerful that even Qu Xiaonan was shocked.
Qu Xiaonan opened her mouth, wanting to refuse, but she didn't know how to refuse.
In fact, Li Xiuye didn't have a choice. Regardless of his family background, background, and ability, he was enough to be entrusted to her for life. But...she really wanted to get married so soon?
"Miss Qu, why should you hesitate? Miss Qu is not married, and I am not married. We are both weird people in the public opinion, and no one is willing to marry us. Don't Miss Qu think this is a God-given match?" He continued to persuade.
Qu Xiaonan gritted his teeth and finally nodded in agreement.
There was nothing wrong with marrying him, but she was just out of anger. Everyone laughed at her that she would not marry until she was twenty-one, so she decided to marry him to see who was more unlucky than the other.
Seeing her nodding in agreement, Li Xiuye's eyes flashed with excitement. He stood up, leaned close to her ear, and murmured ambiguously: "Since Miss Qu has decided, the betrothal gift will be sent to the palace on a certain day.
Choose a good and auspicious day, and Miss Qu will marry in and become your wife."
"Hmm..." Qu Xiaonan didn't dare to look at him, and nodded lightly with lowered eyelids.
Qu Xiaonan couldn't believe that she had actually found a husband within a day of being out.
She and he, one of whom no one dares to marry, and the other of whom no one dares to marry, are both considered to be lonely people. They got engaged hastily on the spot after meeting each other. Isn't this a bit unbelievable?
She has always been timid, and this kind of thing is really beyond imagination.
Li Xiuye's status is very high. If he gets married, the battle will be very huge. Moreover, Qu Xiaonan heard that he is also the emperor's personally appointed general, guarding one side, holding heavy troops, and wielding power. If he really marries a wife,
If this news spreads, it will probably cause a sensation.
Although Qu Xiaonan's status is not low, compared to Li Xiuye, the gap is as big as clouds and mud.
Li Xiuye saw that she was blushing and shy, and did not dare to raise her eyes. Knowing that his goal was achieved, he slightly curled his lips and said in a low voice: "Miss Qu, we are consensual. Come, prepare a sedan to see off Miss Qu."
go home."
Qu Xiaonan followed them obediently into the sedan chair and went home. She was still in a trance. Li Xiuye's words were still in her mind all the way, and she was in a state of confusion.
She had not had much contact with men, and this time Li Xiuye suddenly appeared, making her feel a little panicked.
After returning home, Qu Xiaonan dove into the room. She thought carefully that she and Li Xiuye had just made a hasty engagement, which was too impatient and unreserved.
Qu Xiaonan tossed and turned in bed, thinking, her head hurting. When she was thinking about this, she had no idea what the people outside were talking about.
She didn't even know when Li Xiuye sent someone to deliver the betrothal gift.
When the betrothal gifts filled the whole yard, Qu Xiaonan was still confused.
This is simply a sky-high betrothal gift, packed in boxes and boxes, too numerous to count.
Qu Xiaonan's parents were also shocked by the betrothal gift. Although they were worried about their daughter, worried that Li Xiuye was unreliable, and worried that the person she was marrying would be bloodthirsty, this person was highly valued by the emperor, and Qu Xiaonan agreed.
They agreed, so they all began to work on Qu Xiaonan's marriage, and they were very busy.
After discussing for more than a month, they finally decided on an auspicious day to officially get married.
In the past few days, Qu Xiaonan's mother and other maids have been busy at home with the dowry, but Qu Xiaonan doesn't care much about her marriage, and still goes out to play in a carefree manner.
When she was thinking of finding a good place to spend her time, she met an acquaintance on the street - Fuliang, the fourth son of the emperor.
Fu Liang didn't look very serious. He had a folding fan on his arm and walked leisurely in front. When he saw her, he stopped and gave her a toothy smile: "Isn't this Miss Qu?"
Qu Xiaonan raised her eyes and looked at him, and asked calmly: "Isn't this the fourth prince who was kidnapped by me last time?"
"Qu Xiaonan, please speak up." Fu Liang had been grudged about being detained. When he saw Qu Xiaonan, he lost his temper and said, "I gave you a lot of face by not punishing you last time."
"Oh, really?" Qu Xiaonan said casually: "Then I still want to thank you?"
"Stop talking nonsense," Fu Liang snorted, "I heard that a blind person really falls in love with you!"
"What a coincidence. He is a bit more handsome and more capable than you."
Qu Xiaonan said neither salty nor blandly.
Fu Liang jumped to her feet angrily, "Qu Xiaonan, let me tell you, this is the first time in my life that I have met such a shameless person like you, and you actually ridiculed me!"
"Did I make fun of you? I was just stating a fact." Qu Xiaonan said innocently.
"You..." Fu Liang choked, angrily threw up his sleeves and left.
Qu Xiaonan shrugged and didn't bother to care about him.
"Miss, tell me, why can't you get along with the fourth prince?" The maid was also a little puzzled.
