The housekeeper stepped forward and said, "Everyone, please stand up. My lord is going to the Tu family to propose marriage."
Another of Pei Jian's subordinates stepped forward and said, "As you all know, this Miss Tu was once engaged to my master. My master really..."
Someone in the crowd stepped forward and said, "We know this matter is really putting the Master and Miss Tu in a difficult position. But, Master Wuliang also said that if this fails, there will be disaster in the world."
"Yes, sir, just think of it as doing it for the people of the world."
"Sir, please save us."
"Sir, please save us!"
…
"Everyone, please listen to me," Yanshan said loudly. "This time, our lord is considering the people of the world. Although... ultimately, the country is the most important!"
"Your Excellency is wise! Your Excellency is wise!"
Everyone knelt down again, shouting "Wise".
Tu Qingyu watched the live broadcast given by Dabao and couldn't help but sigh: "If this matter wasn't designed by Pei Jian himself, it would be really difficult to comment."
Dabao: "That's right, isn't this moral kidnapping? If Pei Jian doesn't agree to them, then whatever happens in the world in the future will be blamed on him."
Poor Lord Pei, he has been an official all his life, and what has he done is not for the people of the world?
Tu Qingyu: "People..."
She actually doesn't understand many things about humans.
For example, if one puts down the butcher knife, he can become a Buddha instantly. To become a Buddha, an evil person only needs to put down the butcher knife, but a good person, after going through hardships, will lose all his previous efforts if he does one thing wrong.
It's as if one hundred minus one equals zero.
Dabao: "Stop sighing, Pei Jian has set off. Do you want to go take a look ahead?"
The former good friends have suddenly become father-in-law and son-in-law, and he is also looking forward to Tu Puhe's reaction.
Tu Qingyu: "Let's go for a walk and take a look."
At this time, in the front hall, the housekeeper came to report that the Pei family had set out with betrothal gifts to propose marriage. Tu Puhe was completely devastated.
He looked at his wife and said, "No, is Xingzhi crazy? Does he just listen to the old monk?"
Mrs. Tu was very calm. She sat on the chair and took a sip of tea. "I heard that the people knelt at the door of his house and forced him to come."
"Force? Ha~" Tu Puhe found it funny, "Why didn't I know before that Pei Xingzhi was someone who could be forced to marry."
"Master, you seem very reluctant?"
"Can I be willing to do this kind of thing?"
"But don't you want Xingzhi to call you dad?"
Tu Puhe was stunned. He had never thought about this matter.
After a while, he realized, "That won't work either. Pei Xingzhi is sixteen years older than us.
Sixteen years old!
I had my first child when I was sixteen!"
"Actually, I think people become more caring with age. If he doesn't tell anyone, no one will know he's 32."
Tu's mother was actually also very upset, but as someone who knew her daughter's thoughts, she had to try her best to fight for her daughter.
Five days ago, when she saw Pei Jian bringing her daughter back through the side door, she felt something was wrong.
She was far away, so she couldn't hear what they were talking about.
She only knew that her daughter was shaking the other person's sleeves and acting coquettishly, laughing happily, and her heart and eyes were full of the other person, which made her heart sink instantly.
Later, I don’t know what Pei Jian said, but my daughter laughed even more happily.
Pei Jian's attitude was also wrong. After knowing each other for so many years, she never knew that Pei Jian could be so kind.
The two of them stayed together for a while, and finally the daughter wanted to go home.
But just as she stepped over the threshold, she ran back with her skirt lifted up and kissed Pei Jian on the face.
That shameless look made her face blush.
After tossing and turning all night, she finally couldn't help it the next day and talked to Tu Qingyu all night long.
At first, she also minded Pei Jian's age.
How could I not mind?
She is just such a little delicate girl.
But my little Jiaojiao swore that she loved Pei Jian and would never be happy in her life if she couldn't marry Pei Jian.
She naturally tried to persuade him, saying that she was still young and had little experience, so she didn't know what love was.
"No, mother, love is like this. I miss him when I can't see him. I miss him even when I don't want to eat or drink. Everything he does is good in my eyes. I will ignore his age and just want to be with him.
Once I saw him, I could no longer see anyone else.
I was very happy when I knew I was going to break off my engagement with Pei Kangsheng, but when I didn't see him for a few days, I felt like everything in the world had lost its color."
The daughter's face was full of longing, and even at night, she could see the other person's bright eyes.
"You like it that much?"
"Well, I won't marry anyone but him."
"What about him? Is he like you?"
Tu Qingyu lowered his head, "I don't know... but I'll know in five days."
At that time, she didn't know what five days later meant, but now she knows.
It seems that Pei Xingzhi feels the same way.
She wasn't actually afraid that someone like Pei Jian would treat her daughter badly.
She knew very well that it was difficult to fall in love with such a person, but once attracted, it was also difficult to change her mind.
Aren't we going through all this trouble just to protect Qingyu from being criticized?
She also saw her daughter's bold and unrestrained behavior in front of him that day.
To be honest, Pei Jian, apart from his age, I really have no complaints about anything else.
Tu Puhe looked at her suspiciously, "Something's wrong, are you hiding something from me?"
"Yes." Mother Tu nodded seriously, "I'll tell you tonight."
"Why do you have to say it at night? Can't you say it now?" He was very anxious.
Tu's mother glanced at him and said, "Let's wait until night."
Say it now that she is afraid of people blowing up, so don’t even let Pei Jian in the door later.
As soon as Pei Jian left the house, the news spread.
By the time his carriage arrived at the gate of Tu Mansion, everyone in the capital knew that Lord Pei had gone to Tu Mansion to propose marriage.
"Master, Master Pei has arrived."
Tu Puhe's face darkened and he didn't respond.
It was Tu's mother who spoke up, "Go, please come in."
"Hey you..." Father Tu looked at Mother Tu dissatisfiedly, "What are you inviting me for?"
"Everyone in the world is watching us. If you just keep turning people away, it won't be long before the gate of our Tu Mansion is filled with people kneeling."
"If they want to kneel, then kneel! For the sake of the world, do they have to sacrifice my daughter?
"The old monk has nothing more to say, right? The world situation has changed because of a marriage?"
Although he said so, he didn't say that he was not allowed to open the door for Pei Jian.
Pei Jian entered the Tu family with a huge betrothal gift.
The gifts couldn't fit in the main hall, so they were piled up in the yard. The yard was so big that it almost couldn't hold them all.
When he saw Tu Puhe, he politely performed the greetings of a younger generation and said, "Hello uncle, hello aunt."
Tu Puhe:!!!
Mrs. Tu: ...
I'm really not used to it.
