Chapter 167 Preparing to Propose Marriage
On a sunny morning, Ranmo went to Wu Shao's house to find Qingsheng and also visited Ayi Li. She had already gotten used to life here, and the people here were very kind to her. Qingsheng, in particular, treated her like his own sister.
They both looked at Qingsheng, who lowered his head slightly shyly before glancing at Ranmo. Ranmo smiled knowingly. Qingsheng was a warm-hearted and generous boy, and his care for a girl he didn't even know was admirable.
Ranmo and Aili also had something in common; they both knew how to dance. Of course, Aili's dance was a professional. Ranmo didn't dare compete with her, but instead learned some new dance moves from her that could be performed by both men and women.
Qingsheng winked at the side, signaling Ranmo to learn some girly moves as well. That way, she could dance just for him.
Ranmo glanced at him and said nothing. Aili laughed heartily and said, "Is this okay?" Then she looked at Ranmo and said, "Ranmo's figure is really good. He must look very good when he dances like a girl."
Ran Mo didn't want to let Qing Sheng make trouble, but then she thought, isn't it okay to dance for the one she loves and make a small contribution? That would be too stingy.
So she readily agreed to learn a few female moves from Ayi Li. Seeing that she was serious about learning, Ayi Li stopped joking and began to teach her in a serious manner.
Ranmo was very flexible and quick-witted, quickly mastering several dance moves. Ayili commented that the moves were quite challenging, and she hadn't expected Ranmo to learn so quickly. She gave Ranmo a thumbs-up and gestured to Qingsheng.
Qingsheng looked cheerful but silent. His meaning was obvious: didn't he see who this girl belonged to? How could she not be excellent?
At noon, Wu Shao returned from outside. They all went to the back hall to eat. They didn't eat with the others, but instead had their own table in a small room.
Although Wu Shao's family is a wealthy family, they don't have so many red tape. The younger generations sometimes voluntarily get together for dinner, and the elders don't mind. They just need to come and greet them on time.
At the dinner table, Wu Shao couldn't contain his joy and revealed a piece of news to everyone: he was going to formally introduce Hu Ling to his family, and if she approved, he would prepare to propose marriage.
Upon hearing this, A'ili clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Great, Great!" She had met Hu Ling a while ago. Hu Ling had treated her very kindly and even taught her how to read and write. They had become close sisters. Naturally, she hoped Hu Ling would find a good home.
Ranmo and Qingsheng had different expressions. Ranmo's face still showed joy and congratulations. Qingsheng remained silent, seemingly lost in thought. It wasn't hard to guess that, given Hu Ling's current status, entering the Wu Mansion and gaining the elders' approval would be incredibly difficult.
Wu Shao naturally understood this. But he was now determined to be with Hu Ling. No matter what, he would announce this to his family and strive for success.
Qingsheng could only silently bless him in his heart. He suddenly felt how good his father was.
His father is relatively open-minded in many things. If he were to bring one home now, let's not talk about that person. If he brought Ranmo home now and Ranmo still kept dressing as a boy, I believe that although his father would be shocked for a moment, he would probably agree sooner or later if he kept pestering him.
Wu Shao's father, on the other hand, was different. He still held a traditional, even stubborn, mindset. He was devoted to Wu Shao's mother. If it were his son, he would probably be extremely strict about finding a wife.
But it was not a good idea to pour cold water on Wu Shao at the moment, so he used tea instead of wine to wish him success, and said that if he needed help, he could ask his father to come forward to help mediate.
Young Master Wu raised his teacup to express his gratitude. He was indeed a good brother, even more thoughtful than he had anticipated. Now it was just a matter of choosing the right moment to bring this matter to light.
After lunch, they strolled around the mansion for a while. Since their master was away, the two disciples, feeling somewhat lazy, went about their business.
Qingsheng took Ranmo for a walk outside. Ayili went back to her room to practice needlework. Wu Shao was busy planning his own plans.
Walking on the road, Qingsheng said nothing, then stopped and looked at Ranmo with a slightly cold look.
Ran Mo thought he was melancholy about Wu Shao and Hu Ling, and was about to say a few words to comfort him, but suddenly he noticed something was wrong with his expression. His eyes were clearly saying: Look at them, they are about to get married! Look at us, I said I wanted to propose marriage, but you didn't let me! Woo woo woo.
Ran Mo suddenly felt pity for him and wanted to coax him: "Okay, dear, let's go and propose marriage now, okay? Even if we don't propose marriage, I agree to let you do something shameful, okay?"
Oh my god, she was too embarrassed to say such shameless words. However, not being able to say it didn't mean she couldn't do it. She threw herself on the man without hesitation, both to comfort him and to vent the envy and excitement she had just heard from others on this guy.
Qingsheng was delighted to see her take the initiative. He took advantage of the situation and lifted her up in his arms. Ranmo also took advantage of the situation and adopted a tree-like, intertwined root posture, becoming passionately intimate with Qingsheng.
It wasn't until an unknown amount of time passed that the two finally separated from their stalemate. Qingsheng, panting heavily, sat down on the ground with her in his arms. Ranmo leaned in his arms, lost in thought, savoring the exhilaration they had just experienced.
She thought back to what Sun A-meng had said that day. Although the deadline was still early, she had to prepare early. She wanted to choose a good opportunity and place to complete the Zhougong ceremony with Qingsheng.
In ancient times, such matters were more complicated. In modern times, it would simply be a matter of lovers living together, but nowadays, if the matter is done in advance without a marriage contract or even a wedding night, it is considered a great act of heresy.
Sometimes she thought about just confronting Qingsheng and letting them do whatever they wanted. That guy would definitely hit it off, but she still had to maintain her girlish modesty and chastity.
This was also to avoid being looked down upon by everyone in his mansion when I finally married into his family. I couldn't just walk into his house with a big belly. Pregnant marriages weren't popular these days.
If she completed the task with Qingsheng without getting married for the time being, she would probably have to take some time to review her physiological knowledge.
Alas, there's no one to discuss this with. Qingsheng doesn't understand. He just wants to be happy. Man. But she's so willing to handle all these things for this man. What can she do? Who made him the peach blossom calamity she couldn't overcome in this life?
Her thoughts were racing, and she looked like she was resting with her eyes closed. Qingsheng held her and moved her, then asked, "Have you rested enough?" What? Ranmo didn't understand what he meant.
When she saw Qingsheng's intoxicated and dazed eyes, she seemed to understand something and shyly crossed her hands to cover her arms.
Qingsheng said in his standard subwoofer voice, "After you've rested, get up and have fun again."
Oh my god. What did this kid eat to grow up? Can't he even give me a break?
Ranmo was about to push him away when Qingsheng lifted her up firmly. He glanced around and spotted a large tree branch that looked good. He then used his strength to hold Ranmo steady and carried her towards it. Another fierce battle was imminent.
