Chapter 494 My Marriage Is Not Urgent
Mrs. He glanced in the direction of the kitchen, and only after making sure that Lan'er would not hear her conversation with He Ziming at this distance did she speak slowly.
"Ziming, tell me the truth. Are you and Lan'er hiding something from me?"
He Ziming thought that after Lan'er left, his mother would discuss with him why he didn't want to return to Beijing, but he didn't expect that she would ask him this.
He instinctively looked towards the kitchen, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
How could Mrs. He not understand the son she raised?
"You're not young anymore. If it weren't for the incident with Princess Yu, your mother and father would have been looking for a suitable girl for you this year."
"Mom..." He Ziming interrupted his mother.
"My marriage is not urgent. The matter involving the Ninth Prince's Mansion has not been resolved yet. It is not appropriate to discuss such matters at this time."
Right after He Zhiran gave birth, Lan'er was left in Mo Jiuye's yard by Old Madam Mo, who was responsible for taking care of He Zhiran's daily life.
Although there are many rooms in the courtyard, Lan'er comes in and out of here every day, so she meets He Ziming more often.
At first, there was nothing between the two of them. He Ziming would often prescribe some conditioning prescriptions for Lan'er to follow.
Lan'er doesn't have Yu'er's talent for cooking, so when she doesn't understand something, she will ask He Ziming.
As time went by, the two of them had more contact with each other.
Gradually, He Ziming discovered that Lan'er's inherent dignified temperament was no worse than those ladies from wealthy families in Beijing, and was even better.
She was dignified, but without the affectation and arrogance of those aristocratic daughters.
This is the type of wife he has always dreamed of. Besides, Lan'er is beautiful. No matter from which aspect, she is the type of woman he wants to marry.
Over time, He Ziming found that he must have fallen in love with this girl.
Lan'er also felt that the eldest son of the He family was not only outstanding in appearance and knowledgeable, but was also a gynecologist who was praised as a miraculous expert by people in the capital.
It would be a lie if she wasn't attracted to such a handsome and talented man.
Ke Lan'er was well aware of her identity. Moreover, she had once secretly sworn in front of the Fourth Princess that she would live only to see the day when her great revenge was avenged. As for love between men and women, she felt that she was not qualified.
Although the two were interested in each other, they were both well aware of the secular concepts of family background, and no one spoke up to break the window paper.
Until today, Lan'er knew that Mr. He would be returning to Beijing soon. In order to avoid getting deeper into trouble, she tried to avoid going out at times when the two might meet.
The same went for He Ziming. He didn't know whether his family elders would accept him marrying a maid who couldn't see the public for the time being, and he didn't dare to make any promises to Lan'er.
He has also been staying at home these days to minimize the chances of meeting the other party.
If he hadn't asked his mother about returning to Beijing today, he wouldn't have appeared in the yard.
Originally, he planned to test the waters with his mother. If his mother could understand his desire to resign and stay in the northwest, he could then communicate with his family step by step according to his plan.
Unexpectedly, what a coincidence, my mother discovered the clues so early.
Mrs. He could still tell whether the son she raised was telling the truth or not.
"You are the child I raised myself, how could I not see what you are thinking?
You've been different from those rich kids since you were little. When they were enjoying their romantic lives, you didn't even have a concubine in your backyard. Mother knows you want to find a girl you like to spend your life with."
Seeing that his mother had said this, He Ziming knew that he could no longer hide his affairs.
In that case, he simply laid out his thoughts.
"Mother, I think Miss Lan'er is beautiful and intelligent, dignified and polite, and she doesn't have the affectation of those ladies from wealthy families..."
How could Mrs. He not see Lan'er's generosity and dignity?
However, in her deeply rooted idea, her future daughter-in-law must be a girl of equal status to the He family, and she never thought that He Ziming would fall in love with a maid.
Although He Ziming didn't say directly that he liked Lan'er, as someone who had experienced this, what was there for Mrs. He to not understand?
She had been in the Northwest for some time and had adapted to the local customs and practices there. She really liked the non-hierarchical interaction between people.
For a moment, Mrs. He was in a dilemma.
On the one hand, she hopes that her son can marry a lady of equal social status, and on the other hand, she hopes that her son can live with the girl of his choice.
He Ziming saw his mother's dilemma.
"Mother, think about the eldest son of the Wang family. Because he liked a girl from a small family, he was not recognized by his family. Later, he was forced to marry the daughter of the Minister of Personnel. What happened in the end?
Also, the young marquis of Jingyuan Marquis's family fell in love with the daughter of a merchant. In order to prevent their relationship, the marquis' wife immediately arranged for him to marry the granddaughter of Prime Minister Xue. Their married life was in chaos and they even became the laughing stock of the capital.
besides……"
"Okay, stop talking and let me think about it."
Mrs. He knew everything He Ziming said.
The eldest son of the Wang family missed his beloved girl so much that he drank all day to drown his sorrows, thus neglecting his official career and studies.
The young marquis of Jingyuan Marquis's family had a bad relationship with Prime Minister Xue's granddaughter, but he did not dare to offend Prime Minister Xue's powerful family. He lived a depressed life every day and died of depression in his twenties.
"Ziming, are you saying that you will only be happy when you are with Lan'er?"
He Ziming nodded solemnly.
"My son didn't have a favorite girl before. If you had your eyes on someone, I would have no objection. But now I already have someone in my heart. If I marry someone else, I'm afraid I will never be able to let it go in my life."
In order to elevate Lan'er's status, He Ziming continued, "Although Lan'er is a maid, if she were in the palace, the people who would serve the princess personally would also be high-ranking female officials. Her words and deeds are measured, and her etiquette is no less dignified than those of the ladies from wealthy families.
My father taught me since I was young not to imitate the behavior of those young masters, and to keep a normal mind when looking at people and things.
I think Lan Er just keeps a normal heart, and I never feel that she is inferior to me."
"Mom, I agree with my eldest brother's point of view." The conversation between the mother and son was not heard by Lan'er, but it did not escape He Zhiran who had just come out of the house.
Her recent focus has been on Zhuer and Mingzhu, and she didn't notice anything wrong between He Ziming and Lan'er.
After hearing their conversation, He Zhiran realized that there was indeed something unusual about the two of them.
For example, when eating, the eldest brother has a lighter taste, so Lan'er always puts lighter dishes in front of him.
Also, my eldest brother loves cleanliness. When he is at home, there is a special maid who helps him wash his clothes and clean his room every day.
Here, Lan'er would go to her eldest brother's room to clean when he was not around, and when she came out she would bring his changed clothes.
