Qin Bingrong also looked at Zhang Hulan, "Sister Zhang, just tell me what you think.
I know it's a bit abrupt to bring this up today, but since my uncle and aunt are here, I'll just bring it up directly."
Zhang Hulan said expressionlessly: "Master Qin, we are not suitable."
"If there is anything inappropriate, please tell me and I will see if I can change it."
"I am a divorced woman with three daughters, and you have not yet started a family."
"That's not a problem. I don't care. I know all your three daughters. They are very well-behaved and sensible. I will treat them as my own in the future."
"I won't stay in Beijing. I will go back to my hometown in three to five years at most."
"You want to resign?" Qin Bingrong was a little surprised. "Isn't it good to stay in the capital? With your ability, the emperor admires and trusts you very much. You will definitely be promoted in the future."
Zhang Hulan said: "I know my own worth best. I only know how to farm, and I don't know anything else.
Besides, my parents are old, and I want to go home to take care of them.
I don’t want to be like Lord Qin, who regrets it when his parents are gone.”
Qin Bingrong bowed to Zhang Hulan and said, "This is what I admire about Miss Zhang.
If other people were valued and trusted by the emperor like Sister Zhang, they would definitely find ways to climb up and become a higher official.
But Zhang Meizi was thinking about serving her parents, and her filial piety made Qin feel ashamed.
If Qin had been as aware as Zhang in his earlier years, he wouldn't have been unable to see his parents for the last time.
What Zhang Meizi said is not a problem. I will accompany Zhang Meizi back to her hometown in the future. Your parents will be our playful parents, and we will serve them together.
But it may be a little later. I have to help the emperor deal with state affairs, and then I can let go after someone takes over."
Zhang Hulan was speechless.
"I'm ugly."
"Sister Zhang, don't underestimate yourself. Although her looks are not stunning, she is still outstanding. Besides, I don't really care about appearance."
Zhang Hulan gritted her teeth and said, "I think you are ugly."
Qin Bingrong was not angry at all. He touched his face, stretched out his arms, turned around in front of Zhang Hulan, and said, "Sister Zhang, there is no need to deliberately belittle me. Although my appearance is not extraordinary, it is still presentable. It will definitely not be embarrassing to take me out."
Zhang Hulan didn't recognize the Qin Bingrong in front of her. He was completely different from the previous Qin Bingrong. She didn't know what was wrong with this guy today.
However, judging from Qin Bingrong's conditions, he would definitely be a rich bachelor in later generations. If a man like him is still single, I wonder how many women would rush to throw themselves on him.
But this has no appeal to Zhang Hulan.
She doesn’t know how comfortable and free her life is now.
How desperate was she to catch a louse and put it on her own head?
She had already made her refusal very clear. Zhang Hulan didn't know whether Qin Bingrong really didn't understand or was just pretending to be stupid. It seemed better to be more direct.
"Master Qin, I'm sorry, I have no plans to remarry. You are so good, you should find someone else."
Wang sighed in her heart. For now, she was still very satisfied with Qin Bingrong.
She also hopes that her daughter can remarry so that they can feel more at ease with someone who understands them.
But she knew Zhang Hulan's character, and no one could force her to do something she didn't want to do.
Qin Bingrong asked: "Is there something I didn't do well enough? If so, please tell me and I will try my best to correct it."
Zhang Hulan was about to go berserk, "Master Qin, I told you I don't want to get married again."
Zhang Hulan felt that she had to find a way to stop all men from having thoughts about her, otherwise someone might come looking for her in the future.
Zhang Hulan took a deep breath and said, "To tell you the truth, I don't like men now. I like women."
Zhang Hulan's words hit the Zhang family like a bolt from the blue. Wang quickly asked, "Ni'er, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Old man Zhang glared at him and said, "What are you doing? If you don't want to get married, then don't get married. Why are you talking about yourself like this?"
Li and Xiang Chunhua also looked at Zhang Hulan in surprise, not knowing what to say.
Zhang Hulan said: "I'm not talking nonsense. I have no interest in men at all now."
Zhang Hulan then said to Qin Bingrong, "Master Qin, please go back. Don't mention this matter again, or we won't even be friends anymore."
Qin Bingrong left Zhang Hulan's house somewhat frustrated and returned to Wang's house. Duke Wei came up to him and asked, "How is it? Is the method I taught you useful?
You have to be thick-skinned to chase a woman, and you have to be persistent."
Qin Bingrong sighed and said, "It doesn't work. It didn't work."
"What, it didn't work out?" Duke Wei was surprised, "Does the niece of the Zhang family have such high standards? Even you don't like her?"
Emperor Yongxing and Lord Wang were also surprised that Zhang Hulan did not like Qin Bingrong.
Emperor Yongxing asked: "What is the reason?"
Qin Bingrong replied: "She said she doesn't like men, she likes women."
This sentence shocked everyone present.
Wang Xingren exclaimed, "What? Auntie likes women?"
Zhang Dahua's eyes widened. "Master Qin, please don't talk nonsense and tarnish my aunt's reputation."
Although this reputation is not a bad one, it is not a good one. If it gets out, you will definitely be looked at strangely by others in the future.
Qin Bingrong said: "I am not talking nonsense, it was Zhang Tunjian who said it himself."
Queen Ye covered her mouth and laughed. She didn't believe what he said. She was sure that Zhang Hulan said this on purpose in order to reject Qin Bingrong.
Queen Ye said, "If that's the case, forget it. Don't force it."
Emperor Yongxing also said: "My dear Qin, since they are unwilling, don't force it. How about I introduce a few to you?"
Qin Bingrong hurriedly cupped his hands, "Let's just forget it."
Emperor Yongxing did not force it, and the matter was left at that.
Everyone was watching Qin Bingrong for fun, and at the same time they all felt sorry for Qin Bingrong for three seconds.
I'm already in my thirties, and finally I'm interested in someone, but the other person is not willing.
Time flies and it’s already the New Year.
Emperor Yongxing, Duke of Wei, and Marquis Wang left on the eighth day of the first lunar month with some guards.
They want to go and see other places. It is impossible for them to just come here to celebrate the New Year and then go back.
Zhang Hulan and her entourage, as well as Empress Ye and her entourage, also set out for the capital on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
The main thing is that Qin Bingrong has to go back. Emperor Yongxing is away, and many things in the court need to be handled by Qin Bingrong.
Old Man Zhang and Mrs. Wang also went to the capital together. Zhang Hulan also told Zhang Hujun and Zhang Hubing that they might have to stay in the capital for a while, and she would send them back personally when the time comes.
