"Miss Qin, why don't we go somewhere else."
After Gu Jinbang finished scolding Miss Li, he spoke to Qin Rujing in a friendly manner.
"good."
Qin Rujing smiled.
She was right. The men in the Gu family were all upright and responsible. They would keep their distance from women, no matter how pretty they were or how much they tried to please them.
To them, the term "cherishing and cherishing women" only refers to women they approve of.
After coming out of the teahouse, the two strolled along the river.
Gu Jinbang saw some candied haws being sold and bought some for Qin Rujing.
"For me?"
Qin Rujing took the candied haws in a daze. From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever bought her these little things.
Because she was a girl, her family didn't pay much attention to her. They just thought she would get married in the future, so they only gave her money to support her but didn't give her any more love.
"Of course, don't girls like to eat these?"
When Gu Jinbang thought of his sister, his brows softened.
Qin Rujing immediately thought of Fubao and burst out laughing.
"The girl you're talking about, isn't it Fubao?"
He actually treated her and Fubao on the same level!
"Um!"
Gu Jinbang had no contact with other girls. Among his peers, there were only Fubao and Dasao. But he didn't have much contact with Dasao either, so the only person he could refer to was Fubao.
"Don't you like candied haws?"
He also thought that Qin Rujing was older than Fubao, and felt a little embarrassed looking at the candied haws.
"No, I love it."
Qin Rujing took a bite of a candied haws. It was sweet and sour, and really delicious.
She thought that she would remember for the rest of her life that someone had bought candied haws just for her.
I fell in love with Gu Jinbang before because I thought he would be loyal.
And now, she is really moved.
Suddenly, a fast horse came running on the street. Gu Jinbang quickly put his arm around Qin Rujing's waist and retreated to the side of the street.
"Are you okay?"
Gu Jinbang looked at Qin Rujing in his arms.
Qin Rujing's face flushed: "No, it's okay!"
When Gu Jinbang saw her watery eyes, his heart seemed to be stirred.
In the past, he would feel annoyed when interacting with women, but not with Qin Rujing.
Not only that, he felt it was easy and pleasant to interact with Qin Rujing.
He made the decision to send Qin Rujing home.
"Tomorrow I will have my mother invite a matchmaker to arrange a marriage. When I return from battle with military merit, I will marry you."
Qin Rujing widened her almond-shaped eyes: "You, you, don't have to make a decision so quickly."
She had asked for this opportunity to meet him, and she was afraid that Gu Jinbang was only responsible for her for her reputation.
"Don't worry, this isn't a spur-of-the-moment decision. I know very well that I treat you differently than I do other girls. Even though we haven't spent much time together, I'm sure I want to be with you forever."
Gu Jinbang doesn't say many nice things, but every word he says is true.
Qin Rujing's face was very red and her heart was beating very fast.
When we met today, her heart was actually already confused.
In the past, she only wanted to marry a reliable man, but now, she only wants to be with Gu Jinbang.
"Okay, I'll wait for you!"
After saying that, she ran into the house quickly like a frightened little rabbit.
Gu Jinbang curled his lips, watched Qin Rujing's back disappear, and then left.
When Wang Yanran heard her son say that he wanted to arrange a marriage for Qin Rujing, she immediately started to make arrangements.
As early as when Gu Jinan got married, she started preparing for Gu Jinbang and Gu Jinding.
Although Gu Jinbang was in a hurry now, everything was prepared and he was not in a hurry.
The next morning, the betrothal gifts from the Imperial Master's Mansion were dispatched.
The team delivering the betrothal gifts attracted everyone's attention. When people heard that it was the Imperial Master's Mansion that was proposing to Qin Rujing, there was a lot more discussion.
The news of Qin Rujing's self-recommendation had already spread like wildfire. Everyone was expecting Qin Rujing to become a nun if she couldn't get married, but now, her wish has come true.
Miss Li was also in the crowd. Looking at the huge procession of betrothal guests, her eyes turned red with anger.
"Why, why would he do this to me?"
It was obvious that they met first, and he even rushed into the sea of fire without caring about his life to save her.
But now, he actually wants to marry another woman!
In Miss Li's eyes, she can dislike Gu Jinbang, but in Gu Jinbang's heart, he must always like her.
Now that Gu Jinbang is proposing to marry Qin Rujing, it is really a slap in her face.
"Miss, Madam asked you to save Second Young Master Gu no matter what."
The girl beside him reminded.
Miss Li bit her lip and rushed to the front of the betrothal team.
"Second Brother Gu, have you really forgotten our affection?"
Miss Li felt that Gu Jinbang was kind-hearted and asked to marry Qin Rujing because he was afraid that Qin Rujing would become a nun. As long as she acted like Qin Rujing, acting like she had nowhere else to go and couldn't live without him, he would definitely marry her.
Gu Jinbang's face was originally full of joy, but it faded when he saw Miss Li rushing out.
"Miss Li, I think I've made it very clear. There is no friendship between you and me. Today is the day I propose marriage. I don't want to say anything more to you. Please leave immediately!"
Gu Jinbang suppressed his anger and said to Miss Li.
"No, no, how could we not have friendship? If there was no friendship, how could you risk your life to save me?"
Seeing that she still refused to move aside, Gu Jinbang became angry.
He wanted to marry Qin Rujing, so naturally he couldn't let Qin Rujing misunderstand that he had anything to do with other women.
"I saved you out of conscience, Miss Li. If you are truly grateful, you can send some gifts to my Imperial Master's Mansion instead of using your false feelings to try to marry into my Imperial Master's Mansion. On the one hand, you despise my ruined face, and on the other hand, you try to get the Imperial Master's Mansion to help your Li family!"
These words were without any mercy, and Miss Li's face turned pale.
These were indeed her plans. She thought Gu Jinbang was kind and would not say them out loud, but at this moment, he said these words with a cold face.
She could even feel that if she continued to pester him, he would say more unbearable things, making her unable to live a normal life.
She was pulled away and looked at the wedding procession in dismay as they continued to beat drums and gongs and left happily.
"Miss Li, you should hurry home and prepare some money to repay her. She doesn't want you to marry her in return, so just give her as much money as you can to show your gratitude."
I don’t know who spoke first, but the others followed suit.
"Yes, Miss Li, when you give out your thank-you gifts, we'll come and watch. Someone as polite as you should definitely give out lots of thank-you gifts!"
"Miss Li, if your family is short of manpower, we can also come and help!"
…
Voices continued to be heard from the crowd, and Miss Li left with a dark face.
She did not stop Gu Jinbang, and the news that she wanted to send a thank-you gift had already reached the Li Mansion. Lord Li, who was originally waiting for good news, was so angry that he slapped her directly.
