Chapter 1540 (1/2)
Wen Qianmo, who was suddenly named, was asked about his personal affairs and was slightly embarrassed.
But he still got up and said truthfully: ”when I was in Suzhou, my father chose a woman for his minister to marry. But he was busy learning literature and martial arts. He refused because he was afraid of delaying other girls. Therefore, this matter has been delayed.”
Fourth master slightly jaw head, a pair of suddenly realize, understand the meaning.
Then, he turned to look at Cao Luoyun opposite Wen Qianmo, ”what about Cao Aiqing?”
Cao Luoyun got up and said, ”emperor, to be honest, the men of Qing Dynasty all like gentle and virtuous women. They need a good wife and mother to meet their husband and teach their children at home. But the minister is a martial arts practitioner. If he is not their ideal target, no one has ever married him.”
In fact, she did not want to marry, so she deliberately euphemistically said that no one was married.
”Miss Cao is modest. I've heard that since you settled down in the capital, the threshold of your family will be broken by those childish brothers.” A Jinshi on one side joked.
As soon as this was said, the other few echoed.
”Yes, no one can marry a heroine like Miss Cao.”
”If you don't have a wife like you, you can't marry a woman in Qing Dynasty.”
And so on, and so on, in the hall.
Cao Luoyun was embarrassed.
The fourth master of the key is still staring at her, waiting for her to give an explanation.
She clearly has a large number of people to marry, but also said no one to marry, this is not to deceive the monarch?
Cao Luoyun had to change his words and say: ”the emperor, what I said is true. When I was in Suzhou, I always dressed up as a woman for convenience. Therefore, they all regarded me as a brother and a man. Where would they want to marry me?”
”If you don't believe this, you can ask the empress. When I was in Suzhou last year, I met with you and the queen by chance. At that time, I was dressed as a woman disguised as a man, but later, you saw through it. Don't you remember?”
Hearing this, the fourth master turned his head and looked at Ruoyin.
Yu Guang glimpses the fourth master and looks at himself. Ruoyin first looks at Cao Luoyun who is the first one in the present.
Then he turned his head, looked at the fourth master, and said with a smile, ”what Cao Aiqing said is true. I can testify for her about her disguise as a man in Suzhou.”
Speaking of this, she remembered that when she saw Cao Luoyun for the first time, Cao Luoyun was smashing a stone tablet called Xieshi in Suzhou.
Even if they are chased and captured by hundreds of officials, they can step on their heads calmly and arrogantly say ”call grandfather”.
At that time, she never thought that the arrogant and rebellious man was disguised as a woman.
”Empress Xie testified for her minister.”
With Ruoyin's testimony, Cao Luoyun continued to say to the fourth master: ”I'm in the capital now. Although the princes did ask the matchmaker to propose marriage to my family, those people didn't know me. Some only met me once, and even some people didn't see me. They just heard from the grapevine that I was not bad, and they also proposed marriage with the wind.”
”So I refused one by one.”
”Although most of the Qing Dynasty was arranged by their parents and matchmakers, I had no family and had to choose my own choice. In my opinion, choosing a husband depends on his character, filial piety, ambition, and what's more, he must beat me! ”
Hearing Cao Luoyun's request to choose her husband, all the people present couldn't help laughing.
Even if sound, can't help but cover his mouth and smile.
She thought that Cao Luoyun was a rare straightforward person.
Unlike the woman beside her, she blushes and pinches when she mentions the engagement.
She was quite generous and gave a full account of what she thought.
However, looking for her husband is not looking for someone to fight with, but to win her.
Others laugh at her, Cao Luoyun will not feel embarrassed.
