Chapter 211: Become a Disciple
"Mr. Xu really loves you deeply. You are so happy that you can't even speak. Then it's settled!"
The matchmaker said a lot of things without even taking a breath, and directly made the decision for Su Anrong.
"But you should also understand that you are not worthy of Master Xu with your conditions. Since he has already made so many concessions, you can't make any more demands on the betrothal gift."
"When you get married, you won't need this house anymore. It's better to add it to your dowry and take it with you, so that those women in the backyard of the Xu Mansion won't look down on you..."
Su Anrong listened expressionlessly to the matchmaker's endless chatter for a long time, arranging her people, money and even real estate clearly, and sneered.
She put the cup in her hand down heavily on the table:
"Stop talking, I refuse."
He didn’t talk much, but every word was clear, leaving no room for the other party to misunderstand or pretend to be confused.
The matchmaker's smile froze on her face:
"You...what did you say? Didn't you understand? The one who wants to marry you is the eldest son of Minister Xu of the Ministry of Industry!"
"You are a commoner woman, but you can marry into an official family and become his wife. That is a blessing you have earned in eight lifetimes! Miss Su, you should think carefully about your own status!"
Su Anrong sneered:
"The Minister Xu you mentioned is nearly sixty years old, and his eldest son is also over forty years old. He is a big eater, a drunkard, and a gambler. He has more than a dozen concubines in his backyard and has tortured three of his wives to death!"
"You consider it a blessing to marry such a person? Why don't you give this blessing to your own daughter?"
Aunt Li was so embarrassed that she slammed the table and said angrily:
"Su Anrong, don't be shameless! Master Xu is older, but if it weren't for this, how could you, a divorced woman who can't give birth to a child, take advantage of him?"
"Don't you even look at your own situation? You are a decent woman, but you are actually asking for a divorce from your husband. The news has spread all over the street. Who would dare to marry you?"
"There are plenty of young men, but which one of them would be interested in you?"
Su Anrong smiled sarcastically:
"Oh, so what if they don't like you? You can't live without a man, and I, Su Anrong, don't want one!"
"I, Su Anrong, have my own property and the ability to make money. I don't have to worry about my husband and my evil mother-in-law anymore. Since the divorce, I have been living a very comfortable life!"
"Now that I have a daughter, I am already content. Even if I never marry again in my life, I will not jump into the fire pit! You can ask Master Xu to find someone else!"
After that, she stood up and said coldly:
"see a visitor out!"
"You... you simply don't know what's good for you!" Aunt Li pointed at her with a bad look on her face, "You even dared to reject the Xu family's proposal. I want to see how long you can hold on to your stubbornness!"
The door was pushed open with a bang, accompanied by the little kid's angry cry:
"Bad guy! Don't bully Liang Qin!"
Tongtong ran over and threw herself into Su Anrong's arms.
"Don't marry a cold-blooded woman! This woman is bad, she is going to be in big trouble!" said the little kid while making faces at Aunt Li.
"You are such a money-loser, who are you talking about?" Aunt Li was so angry that she jumped up and down.
Su Anrong's face darkened:
"Kick her out and don't let her in again!"
It would be fine if she said that to herself, but she could not tolerate anyone daring to scold her daughter!
Immediately, a servant rushed in to chase them away, and Aunt Li left cursing.
Yun Qingqing noticed that Aunt Li gave Su Anrong a sinister look before she left.
She pinched her fingers and squinted her eyes.
"I'm sorry to embarrass you." Su Anrong sighed, "Maybe you think I'm ungrateful, but I really don't feel like getting married anymore."
Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows:
"If you don't want to get married, then don't get married. What's wrong with that? Why don't you know what's good for you?"
Su Anrong was stunned:
"You really think so?"
Ever since she repeatedly rejected various marriage proposals, she had heard the prince's slanderous gossip about her, saying that she was a divorced woman, had high standards, and deserved that no one wanted her.
Although I have always appeared to be unshakable, I can't help but still care in my heart.
Yun Qingqing saw through her thoughts and smiled calmly:
"The people who said those things just can't stand seeing a woman like you being able to live a prosperous life on your own. They feel unbalanced and helpless, so they try to use words to belittle you and try to defeat you. In the end, they are just pitiful and hateful."
"There are also men like Master Xu, who just relies on his father being an official. He is good for nothing and only covets the beauty, virtue and even money of women. He takes advantage of them and acts as if he is giving alms. Anyone who really agrees to his marriage proposal is mentally ill, right?"
Su Anrong nodded repeatedly, with a bright look on her face:
"Yes! That's right, you just hit the nail on the head!"
"It's obviously him, he's not worthy of Liang Qin! Humph!" Tongtong's baby voice made both of them laugh.
This incident was just a minor episode and was soon forgotten by Su Anrong.
When Yun Qingqing brought up the idea of a gift for becoming a disciple, Su Anrong naturally had no objection.
However, Xiaodouding raised an objection.
"Too simple, not grand enough!" The baby pouted when he learned that all he had to do was kowtow three times and offer a cup of tea, and the ceremony of becoming a disciple would be complete.
How could such a simple ceremony be worthy of the identity of the Tongyun divine beast? She wouldn't do it!
Yun Qingqing let out a long "Oh":
"If you want to be solemn, then you have to bathe and fast for 49 consecutive days. Do you know what fasting means?"
Looking at the little kid's confused eyes, Yun Qingqing smiled meaningfully:
"You can only eat vegetarian food, no meat at all!"
The doll opened its mouth and was stunned.
No meat for 49 days!
Yun Qingqing pressed the corners of her mouth and said seriously:
"If you can't help but eat meat during this period, all your efforts will be wasted and you will have to start fasting all over again..."
"Father Xi - I kowtow to you, Father Xi!"
Bang, bang, bang.
Tongyun knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Yun Qingqing without saying a word. She quickly got up, ran to the table, and stretched out her little hand to reach for the teapot.
Unfortunately, when she raised her hand, it was only as high as the table leg and she couldn't reach it. Her face turned red with anxiety and she looked eagerly at the little maid standing beside her.
The little maidservant smiled secretly and poured her a cup of tea, and the baby ran back to Yun Qingqing.
"Father Xi, have some tea!"
Yun Qingqing almost laughed out loud as she looked at the half-spilt tea.
But she still pretended to cough, took the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
"Well, the ceremony is over! My dear disciple, this is the gift from the master for you."
She rummaged around in her sleeves, pulled out a small wooden box, handed it over, and said with a smile:
"See if you like it?"
Tongtong sniffed, immediately took the box and opened it, smiling so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.
"I like it! Thank you, Father Xi~!"
Su Anrong looked carefully and saw more than ten candies inside.
Then she looked at her daughter who opened a candy and ate it happily, and then held the box tightly and couldn't let it go. She couldn't help but feel surprised.
"This kid loves to eat meat the most, but doesn't eat much candy. It turns out that she really likes you as her master!"
Su Anrong just thought that Wawa liked her master, so whatever she gave her was good.
Yun Qingqing smiled but said nothing.
There is a lot of secrets in this box. She took great care to prepare it specially for Tongyun.
