Chapter 59 A Silver Hairpin
"Brother Changtian, you know I am like this."
Liang Qin gently tucked a strand of black hair behind her ear and said quite seriously: "If you really want to marry me, then I will marry you."
"But if you don't really want to marry... let's just be brother and sister."
"I will explain everything to my parents and will never embarrass you."
“…”
Liang Qin explained in a low voice, and Wei Changtian listened silently, but there was actually no big emotional fluctuation in his heart.
On the one hand, it was because he really had no emotional foundation for this woman, and on the other hand, it was because what she said was quite sincere.
If you insist on marrying me, I will not resist, and I will not embarrass either family.
But if possible, you'd better not marry me, because I don't really want to marry you.
To be honest, the fact that Liang Qin can be so frank is already many times better than Wei Changtian’s girlfriend in his previous life.
In the small lake behind them, a few fat koi fish probably thought the two were going to feed them, so they came over slowly.
They squeezed and shoved in the lake beneath the two men, and after waiting for a long time without seeing any food dropped, they anxiously tried to jump out of the water.
He did jump out, but he was too fat to control his posture, and finally fell back sideways, leaving behind a series of "thump thump" sounds.
Wei Changtian looked back at these carefree fish and asked casually, "Do you have a crush on someone?"
"No."
Liang Qin shook her head and remained silent for a while before continuing, "Brother Changtian, do you want to hear what I have done in Shuzhou in the past three years?"
"Okay, go ahead." Wei Changtian sat up, bringing a breeze.
"Um……"
Liang Qin reached out and gently picked off a weed stuck on Wei Changtian's collar, hugged her knees and lost herself in memories.
"I've actually been following my father to fight bandits and kill monsters."
"You know I have never been interested in music, chess, calligraphy, or painting since I was a child. I only like martial arts."
"I still remember when we were little and we practiced together with the instructor, you would always want to run away before practicing for an hour, and the instructor didn't dare to do anything to you, so I always had to go and find you in the end."
"I always thought that practicing martial arts was for the sake of a fulfilling life. As long as I became a top-notch martial artist, I could do whatever I wanted and kill whomever I wanted."
"But when I arrived in Shuzhou, I discovered..."
Liang Qin did not finish this sentence, but paused for a moment and changed her narrative style.
"I still remember the first time I followed the soldiers to fight against bandits...Brother Changtian, do you know what I saw?"
"Dead people, dead people everywhere."
"Hundreds of people in a village were killed by bandits just because we arrived half a day late..."
"Old people, children, women, and even babies who were only a few days old, not a single one survived..."
"The bandits piled up hundreds of corpses at the entrance of the village, deliberately showing them to the officers and soldiers, and even wrote four words on the ground with blood."
"Another crackdown, another massacre..."
Liang Qin's voice was trembling. Wei Changtian waited for a while and asked softly, "What happened next?"
"later……"
Liang Qin took a deep breath and said, "Another month has passed. We have finally surrounded and killed all the bandits."
"Many officers and soldiers died, but not a single bandit escaped."
"We came down from the mountain and rested for one night at the foot of the mountain."
"And when we were preparing to break camp and return to the city the next morning...Brother Changtian, there were hundreds of men, women, and children in tattered clothes kneeling outside the camp!"
"Some people brought their chickens and ducks, some brought a few strings of copper coins, some carried a basket of mountain products, and some girls even brought their own dowries..."
"They didn't say anything, they just knelt there, waiting for us to pass by before they stepped forward and put the things into the soldiers' hands."
"If the officers and soldiers don't want it, they will pick it up from the ground and continue to stuff it in until someone accepts it, and then they will return it..."
"Brother Changtian, it was only since that day that I realized that the outside of this peaceful and prosperous capital city is like this..."
"I also understand that practicing martial arts is not for myself, but for those who have never practiced martial arts..."
“…”
The moonlight was white, no different from before.
Those fat koi fish have swam away and the lake has returned to calm.
It turns out that this is the reason why Liang Qin doesn't want to get married.
Wei Changtian sighed secretly and understood.
For a woman like this who has witnessed the suffering of the people and has turned over a new leaf, it is indeed impossible for her to be willing to marry a big devil who bullies the weak all day long.
Wei Changtian didn't say anything like "I'm different now".
Even if he said it, Liang Qin might not believe it.
What's more, such words are meaningless.
They were both silent. Wei Changtian looked at the night sky and Liang Qin looked at him.
Until the woman reached out and took out a hairpin from her hair.
This is a silver hairpin with extremely rough workmanship, or rather a wooden hairpin wrapped in silver.
"Brother Changtian, this hairpin was given to me by a girl that day, and I have been wearing it for three years."
"I'll give it to you today. If you figure it out one day, write to me and tell me."
"If you are still willing to marry me then... I will marry you willingly."
“…”
Wei Changtian looked at the woman whom he had just met today, and reached out to take the hairpin.
"good."
…
Half an hour later, the Liang family's carriage slowly drove away from the gate of Wei Mansion.
"What did you say to Qin'er just now?"
Qin Caizhen retracted her gaze and looked at Wei Changtian suspiciously: "Why does she look like she has been crying?"
"She just told me about what happened in Shuzhou."
Wei Changtian smacked his lips: "I don't know why she's crying."
"Why are you like a piece of wood?"
Qin Caizhen was so angry that she hit her son, then analyzed to herself, "Could it be that Qin'er is jealous because you took Yao'er as a concubine?"
"That's not right. Qin'er came here to be a wife, so why would she be so jealous..."
Qin Caizhen pondered for a long time, and when she turned around to ask something, she found that Wei Changtian was gone.
"Where's my son?"
She hurriedly asked Wei Xianzhi.
Wei Xianzhi smiled and put his hands behind his back: "Let's go back."
"Going back? Why didn't you stop him?"
"Why would I stop him?"
"I haven't even asked clearly yet!"
"Let the younger generation handle their own affairs, why do you always interfere?"
"I'm meddling in this? Haha, don't touch me tonight!"
“…”
As the two of them talked, they started bickering as usual, while Wei Changtian went all the way back to his own yard.
Lu Jingyao was waiting in the hall, looking a little nervous.
Ever since she found out from Qiu Yun who Liang Qin was, the alarm bells in her heart have never stopped ringing.
It wasn't enough to have Xu Qingwan, now there was another childhood sweetheart! There were more and more competitors! The more Lu Jingyao thought about it, the more she felt a sense of crisis, so when she saw Wei Changtian, she immediately went up to him, wanting to show her kindness and tenderness.
But who would have thought that Wei Changtian would not give her any chance at all. He just said "Go to bed early" and turned back to the house.
Looking at the closed door, Lu Jingyao, who was left outside, stomped her feet in anger.
At this time, Wei Changtian was sitting at the table, playing with the silver hairpin in his hand.
In his opinion, he and Liang Qin would not have much interaction in the future.
After all, he will be returning to Shuzhou in a month.
Long distance relationship? Forget it.
Wei Changtian just thought this was a minor incident, but later facts proved that -
Perhaps the essence of fate is the unexpected.
