Chapter 728 [Fan] The belt is getting wider and I will never regret it (17)
“Then why is she so old and not married yet?” Li Ping said sharply.
Xu Wanning sighed and said, "Your cousin's marriage was not going well, so it was delayed."
As she spoke, she whispered: "In the past, your cousin had a good marriage, but then your grandmother passed away, and your cousin had to postpone the wedding for a year to observe mourning. When the mourning period expired, the two families were about to get married. The man's mother suddenly got sick and died again. It took another three years to wait. It was easy to wait for the man's family to have a three-year filial piety period. The wedding date was already set. I never thought that in the first half of the wedding, your cousin's fiancé would be with someone else. I went hunting and encountered heavy rain. When I came back, I couldn't see the road clearly and fell to the cliff. Although the person was still alive, his brain was damaged and he was like a dementia."
"Of course your uncle and aunt didn't want your cousin to marry and suffer the consequences, so they regretted the marriage. Alas! It's just such a waste of time. Your cousin has also passed the Double Ten. It's too late to be good, so it's been delayed. "
Hearing this, Li Ping couldn't help but express regret: "I didn't expect that Xiaojiu would encounter such difficulties in her marriage."
“Who can say it is not?”
Xu Wanning sighed, then looked at her son with light in her eyes and said, "How is it? That Xiaojiu is about the same age as you. You two have known each other since childhood, and your mother hired her to be your wife, okay?"
Li Ping laughed twice: "Mom, I regard her as my sister, but we cannot be husband and wife."
Seeing that Xu Wanning wanted to persuade her again, Li Ping hurriedly said: "Mom, if you want to worry, just worry more about cousin Xiaojiu. I don't need it here. By the way, I have an appointment with a friend, and the time has come now. I have to go out."
With that said, Li Ping rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and hurried away without waiting for Xu Wanning's nagging.
It's not that Li Ping doesn't want to get married, it's just that he hasn't met someone he really likes. He doesn't want to just make do with it. If he rashly marries someone but can't love them wholeheartedly, wouldn't he waste his whole life in vain?
Although Li Ping is unruly at heart, he is a pure and kind person.
In order to avoid his mother's pressure to get married, he left the house and invited a few old friends. They joked and went straight to a restaurant to have a drink and reminisce about the past.
After entering the restaurant, a group of friends sat down in the private room. Li Ping accidentally saw a carriage passing by on the street. Although the people in the car only showed their faces, Li Ping recognized him at a glance. .
It is Wang Han.
He gradually frowned.
Several friends saw him suddenly become silent, and they came up and joked: "What's wrong, Li Ping, what are you looking at?"
Someone looked at it and said casually: "That's Wang Han's carriage. Hey! He was a merchant. Although he won the top prize, he is still just a low-ranking official in the fifth rank."
After many years, the friends he had made with Li Ping have all started families and started businesses. The fact that Li Ping once loved Cai Yimei in those youthful years has long been forgotten in the dust of time.
When Wang Han was mentioned, someone mentioned Cai Lun: "It's a pity that Wang Han relied on the big tree of Cai Jijiu in vain. Now that Cai Jijiu has become an official, he still can't survive."
Another person said with emotion: "As the saying goes, it starts with talent and loyalty to character. Wang Han has a good skin, but his character is too poor. Not to mention passing the exam for sacrificial wine, even relying on the King of Heaven, I will become a good person." Not great."
Seeing that everyone was confused, the man added: "My third cousin is in the government office with him, so I naturally know about his romantic affairs."
He lowered his voice again and said, "Do you still remember Li Xian'er from Yancui Tower who made the capital famous?"
She was just a concubine, a thing for men to relieve their boredom. After so many years, who can still remember it clearly. Someone said: "It's so easy for Marquis Li to return to Beijing. It's rare for us to get together. Marquis Li is not a womanizer, so why mention a concubine?"
Unexpectedly, Li Ping asked: "What's wrong with Li Xian'er?"
The man who mentioned this was surprised when Li Ping actually asked about it, and then said: "He was wrapped up by this Wang Han and kept outside."
When Li Ping heard this, his face turned cold and he asked, "Are you serious about what you said?"
Seeing how excited Li Ping was, the man hurriedly said: "My unlucky third cousin turned out to have taken a fancy to that girl. For this reason, he even made a move with Wang Han, which alarmed Jing Zhaoyin. This matter is still I stepped in to settle the matter, but it can still be fake."
Wang Han went out at this time to pick up Cai Yimei from Cai Mansion.
It's not that he cares about his wife, but that Zhao Jia'er is pregnant with his flesh and blood, and it is urgent to accept Zhao Jia'er.
He went to Cai Mansion, but Cai Yimei didn't see him, and he didn't even see Mr. Cai and Mrs. Cai in person.
Wang Han was returning disappointed when no one was picked up. He was sitting in the carriage ghostly. The carriage suddenly stopped. Wang Han was unsteady and hit the wall of the carriage. He covered himself with the quilt. His head hurt from the collision, and he cursed the driver angrily: "You bastard, how could you catch the bus?"
The coachman was so frightened that he stammered: "Sir, there is someone ahead, ahead."
“Who is it? It’s not a ghost that scared you like this!”
Wang Han cursed and opened the curtain, only to see a man standing right in front of his carriage. The man was tall and burly, with a cold and frosty face. There was a half-inch long scar clearly printed on one cheek. It wasn't the scar that was scary, but the aura exuding from this man that made people shudder.
It is a kind of terrifying momentum that has waded through mountains of swords and seas of fire, and fought hard from Shura Disha.
The driver stared at the people in front of him, his tongue was **** in fear and he couldn't say a word.
Wang Han was also frightened. After the shock passed, he managed to calm down and hesitated: "This good man is looking for Wang. Is there something wrong?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized that something was wrong, because judging from the other person's clothes, he was a very distinguished person, so he changed his words and said, "May I ask, sir, what should I call you?"
“You don’t recognize me.” Li Ping said coldly.
Li Ping had changed so much that Wang Han really didn't recognize him at all. It wasn't until he spoke that Wang Han suddenly remembered. He stared at Li Ping in disbelief and asked tentatively: "You are Li Ping from the Duke's office?" Second Young Master, Li Ping?"
Li Ping didn't talk nonsense to him anymore, and just asked straightforwardly: "Let me ask you, is the girl called Li Xian'er being raised as a concubine by you? Does Mei'er know about this?"
Wang Han had already become timid when he saw Li Ping's momentum. Now that he saw him asking this question, how could he dare to admit it?
Wang Han pretended to be surprised and said: "Who did you listen to to talk nonsense like this?"
He glanced at Li Ping's frosty face and hesitated: "No such thing, no such thing."
