Chapter 223 Taolin expresses his feelings 3
Zhang Yunyue was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.
When I heard him say that he loved me, my heart started beating rapidly.
Then I knew that I was happy in my heart and that I had a good impression of him.
Although I am still single at the age of 30 in modern times, it does not mean that I don’t want to get married. It’s just that I have not met someone I like, and my parents are not urging me to get married, so naturally I continue to live a single life.
After coming here, I have never thought about getting married, but I am more cautious about it.
Even though we are already living in ancient times, the idea of a couple being together for a lifetime is still what I have always insisted on.
If you can't find such a person, you might as well be alone.
Anyway, the money I earn now can allow me to live a leisurely life for the rest of my life.
When I get old, I will find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, buy a few servants, and live a leisurely life.
But now that I have it, and I have a good impression of him, I might as well give it a try, but I still have to make it clear what I need to say.
He raised his head and looked at Xiao Qi: "Mr. Xiao, during this period of time, I cannot deny that you are very good and have a good personality. I do have a good impression of you."
As soon as Zhang Yunyue finished speaking, Xiao Qi's face instantly became happy. He didn't expect that she also had a good impression of him.
"However, I want to make it clear to you first. I am a relatively independent person, and I know that your family must be either wealthy or noble.
Many people know that wealthy families have countless rules, but I am a person who will not be bound by the backyard and be trapped in it.
I have my own business to take care of, and if necessary, I will visit various places to inspect these.
I have not yet seen the beautiful scenery of Yuanqi Kingdom, and I hope that one day I can travel around and see it.
I don’t want the man I will be with in the future to have three wives and four concubines. I expect the two of us to be a couple for life, accompanying each other throughout our lives and growing old together.
If one day the man I am with falls in love with someone else, I will turn around and leave without hesitation and will never appear in front of him again.
Finally, I didn't plan on getting married until I was eighteen.
If you can agree to these, I will agree."
After saying that, Zhang Yunyue looked straight at Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi said solemnly: "I have said this before in Yuehu Lake. My grandparents said that the prerequisite for marriage must be that the two people like each other. From my grandparents, father, mother, uncles, aunts, and my eldest brother, they all only have each other.
I also want to choose someone to spend the rest of my life with like them.
In our family, a man can take a concubine only when he is 40 and has no children. Currently, no one in the family has a concubine.
If we were together, even if we didn't have children by the time we were forty, the worst that could happen was for us to adopt a child from the royal family. Even if we didn't, my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother all have children, so there would be someone to see us off to the grave when the time came.
I know your dream is to open barbecue restaurants and hot pot restaurants all over Yuanqi, and sell the chili oil and crispy peppers from the workshop to various places so that everyone can taste them.
It just so happens that my Tianxianglou has already opened stores all over the country, so I can still help you then. We can take the opportunity of inspecting the stores to travel around the famous mountains, lakes and seas.
Finally, there are no rules in my house. If there were rules, I wouldn’t be meeting you here.
Well, there is one more thing I want to confess to you. Actually, my real name is not Xiao Qi.
Because I was doing business, I borrowed the name of my maternal grandfather, but this name was also given to me by my maternal grandfather.
My real name is Mo Yan.
My grandfather was the former Grand Tutor, my father was the Minister of Rites, my mother was from the imperial merchant family, the Xiao family, my eldest brother is the prefect of Yunzhou, you should have met him in the government office before, my second brother is a captain of the imperial guards, my third brother is doing business in the capital, and I have an older sister who married Jiang Huaian, a top scholar in the imperial examination.
You don't have to worry about anything. Our family doesn't need me to do anything, nor does it require me to pass imperial examinations. I like doing business, so I will be the one doing the business at home.
These are the things I have concealed before, nothing else.
As for getting married at the age of eighteen, it is just right. My grandmother and mother always said that life is not easy for women and getting married too early is harmful to the body.
My sister got married when she was eighteen years old.
These words are not spoken casually, they are from my heart. Yueyue, I can spend my whole life to prove that what I said is true.
Yueyue, can you believe me? "
After saying this, Xiao Qi handed the peach branch in his hand to Zhang Yunyue again.
After hearing Xiao Qi's words, Zhang Yunyue was not frightened by his family background. She had guessed some of it before, but she was still a little surprised.
Now that he has made all his requirements clear, there is nothing for him to hesitate about.
So, Zhang Yunyue took the peach branch from Xiao Qi, no, from Mo Yan, with a smile.
Mo Yan said happily: "Thank you, Yueyue, don't worry, I will use my whole life to prove to you that you have no regrets about your choice today."
Zhang Yunyue smiled with curved eyebrows and said, "Okay." Then she looked at the peach branch in her hand and waved it in front of Mo Yan.
“This peach branch is really beautiful.”
Zhang Yunyue thought of the lady he met on the opening day of July Square. When the lady called Xiao Qi, she was actually calling him A Yan. At that time, he thought A Yan was just his nickname at home.
"Does everyone in your family call you Ayan?"
When Zhang Yunyue asked this, Mo Yan knew that she had heard her sister-in-law yelling that day:
"Yes, everyone in my family calls me Ah Yan, and you can call me that in the future too."
"Okay, Ah Yan."
Then Zhang Yunyue called Mo Yan "Ayan" and "Ayan" several times.
Mo Yan's ears turned red from shouting.
"By the way, what should I call you in front of others from now on, A Yan or A Qi? Can you tell me your identity?"
"It's okay. I was young before, so my family was afraid of something happening, so they asked me to hide my identity. Now I'm grown up, so there's no need to hide it anymore."
"That's good, otherwise I would have fainted from all the shouting."
"Yueyue, when I get back I will tell my elder brother and his wife, and then I will write a letter back to the capital to let my family know. Then someone from my family should come to propose marriage for me. After all, it will be better for us to get along if I am unmarried."
Zhang Yunyue looked at Mo Yan with a bright smile and said, "Okay, I'll go home first during this period of time and talk to my family."
Zhang Yunyue knew that this was Mo Yan's respect for her, otherwise, over time, she would inevitably be gossiped about by others. Before, because of their cooperation, although they often got along with each other, they always spoke politely.
Now that the two have revealed their identities to each other, they will definitely get closer, so being unmarried can save them from a lot of trouble.
"Well, how about I go back with you? You go home first, and I'll go to your house the next day to visit Grandpa Zhang, Grandma Zhang, Uncle Zhang, and Aunt Zhang. That way, others won't have anything to say."
"That's okay too."
"Master, Miss Zhang, the charcoal fire is already lit, we can start grilling, are you hungry?"
Mo Wen's voice came from afar.
