Let's Talk About It
(The second update is here. Keep up the pace and ask for some monthly votes.)
The door of the main hall was closed by Secretary He, so the people inside could not see Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu outside, so that they would not be under too much pressure. They could take their time to get to know each other and catch up with each other.
Old Master Song was not worried about the awkward silence between the two children. First of all, he was very confident in his granddaughter's ability to get along with others. Most importantly, in any case, they used to be playmates. More or less, they would have something to talk about. Moreover, Qin Sheng did not look that dull.
"Ran Ran, are you satisfied with our Yu 'er? Don't bully our Yu' er in the future," teased Old Man Song. When the men heard this, their hearts couldn't help thumping. Old Man Song was determined to marry Yu 'er into the Qin family. He didn't even ask for their opinions, let alone whether Yu' er was willing or not.
Qin Ran was also stunned. She did not expect Old Master Song to be so direct. She did not know how to answer. After all, she dared not say yes casually. After all, Qin Sheng's girlfriend was Lin Su, although she was satisfied with Song Ruyu.
"Grandpa Song, I think it depends on their attitude towards each other. We can't force them," Qin Ran said in a euphemistic way.
Old Master Song chuckled and said, "Your grandfather and I agreed on this. It's also a way for our families to get closer and become friends. Originally, we wanted to matchmake you and Hesheng. Who knew that you two were quarrelsome lovers. Now, it's up to Qin Sheng and Ruyu. Although I've only seen Qin Sheng after more than 20 years, I'm quite satisfied with this kid. I think I'm quite good at judging people. After all, he was taught by your grandfather. As for Yu 'er, I will communicate with her. Of course, both of them need to agree. I am not that stubborn. "
Qin Ran was a little hesitant. She smiled and said, "Grandpa Song, you are right. I am afraid that Ruyu is too excellent for Qin Sheng."
"You don't have to worry about that. Although Yu 'er is arrogant, a girl will eventually marry a man." Old Master Song laughed. He was in charge of everything in the Song Family, so these juniors did not dare to disobey him. Moreover, he knew his granddaughter well, so he believed that it would be a sure thing.
Qin Ran did not dare to say anything more, for fear that Old Master Song would be displeased or that the other members of the Song Family would be angry. The men of the Song family all sighed in their hearts. If the old man really wanted to force her, Ruyu, who had no desires, might directly agree. After all, Ruyu had always been obedient to the old man, not to mention that she had no one she liked so far.
Song Hesheng was even more upset. But what could he do in such a family? He once asked Ru Yu her opinion on marriage in private. Ru Yu's answer shocked him. Sometimes he couldn't help but sigh. It wasn't good for a woman to be too outstanding.
In the yard outside, Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu did not know what had happened inside. Song Ruyu had guessed it, but Qin Sheng was still kept in the dark. However, this was not a bad thing. At least Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu would not be too hostile to each other. Otherwise, the Song family would be unhappy.
"So, you've been in Xi 'an all these years. I've been there a few times. I like the Beilin Museum the most and often recommend it to my friends. Unfortunately, most people only like that kind of bustling place, not this kind of place with real cultural heritage," Song Ruyu said in surprise after learning that Qin Sheng had been living in Xi' an. However, she was somewhat curious about why the Qin Family hadn't found him after so many years.
It did not occur to Qin Sheng that the woman in front of him actually liked the Beilin Museum, which made him have a good impression on her. At least, such a woman had a lot of inner qualities. However, it made sense when he thought about it. How could a woman with such temperament not have inner qualities? How could she be like those vulgar rouge and powder outside? Moreover, her name was Song Ruyu. The Four Books and Five Classics carved on stone in the Beilin Museum were very impressive.
Qin Sheng chuckled and said, "I didn't expect you to like the Beilin Museum. I also like that place the most. When I was young, my grandfather would throw me there during winter and summer vacations to practice calligraphy and copy famous calligraphy."
"Really?" Qin Sheng's answer also surprised Song Ruyu. She then said, "Then your calligraphy must be very good, right?"
Qin Sheng said modestly, "Hahaha, I'm still not as good as my grandfather. But my sister said that I was bragging, and she never believed me."
Song Ruyu smiled faintly and said, "I believe you, because I can smell the faint smell of brush and ink on you."
However, after saying that, Song Ruyu felt that what she said was a little strange. She lowered her head in embarrassment and hurriedly changed the topic. "I like the Preface to the Sanzang Holy Sect of the Tang Dynasty, which is the collection of Wang Xizhi's books by Monk Huairen in the Beilin Museum the most."
"Oh, I like Yan Zhenqing's Yan Family Temple Stele, which is his masterpiece after his calligraphy reached the Advanced Level. Compared with the earlier stele of Duobao Pagoda, it is more amazing." Qin Sheng said with interest, "Everyone knows Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Collection of Lanting Collections, but they don't know Yan Zhenqing's Second Semi-Cursive Manuscripts of Nephew Ji. They are known as the Double Wall of Semi-Cursive. His Competing for a Seat, Nephew Ji and Uncle Ji are collectively known as the Three Manuscripts of Yan's Calligraphy."
Song Ruyu knew all this. She had a deep understanding of classical Chinese culture and her calligraphy level was not low. However, when she heard Qin Sheng talking about this, she still listened quietly. At the same time, she appreciated Qin Sheng very much. Not everyone knew these things.
"It seems that you like Yan Zhenqing," Song Ruyu said thoughtfully.
Qin Sheng did not deny it. He smiled and said, "Yes, I like him very much. My semi-cursive is inclined to him."
Song Ruyu hesitated for a moment and said, "If you have time, can you copy Nephew Ji's Manuscripts for me? I might be a little abrupt. Please don't mind me. I just want to like him. "
Qin Sheng laughed and said, "Hahaha, it's OK. I'll try to give it to you as soon as possible. But I'm afraid that I can't copy it well and make you laugh at me."
Song Ruyu smiled and said, "I believe in your ability."
At this time, a young man's harsh voice rang out. "Who is this rich playboy who is hitting on my little aunt? I advise you to give up. My aunt won't like you. "
Qin Sheng subconsciously looked at the source of the voice, which was also the direction of the door. He saw a middle-aged couple walking over slowly with a child who was less than 20 years old. The young child looked very arrogant and was dressed in fashionable clothes. His tone was full of disdain.
"Song Shigui, don't be rude. Have some manners, okay?" Song Ruyu scolded him rudely. Then she said to the middle-aged couple behind, "Brother, sister-in-law, you're here."
"Is the old master inside?" The middle-aged couple asked. At the same time, they quietly looked at Qin Sheng. Who was this childe? He could talk and laugh with Ruyu.
Song Ruyu replied in a low voice, "He's inside."
The middle-aged man in a down jacket walked up to Qin Sheng and said, "I'm sorry. This child is too impolite."
Qin Sheng nodded at the middle-aged man with a smile and did not say anything more.
Song Ruyu could not continue to chat with Qin Sheng at this time. She took her brother, sister-in-law, and her little nephew to the main hall.
Qin Sheng walked at the back. The boy named Song Shigui threatened in a low voice, "I advise you not to have any ideas about my little aunt. Give up as soon as possible. If you dare to harass her, I'll definitely teach you a lesson."
Qin Sheng would not spoil this kind of lawless kid. He snorted and said, "Do you have a crush on your aunt?"
When the boy heard Qin Sheng's words, he flew into a rage out of humiliation and threw a punch at Qin Sheng. Qin Sheng grabbed his wrist without hesitation. He secretly exerted force and said, "You want to beat me up with your mediocre skills? I'm afraid that even ten of you won't be a match for me. If we weren't here, I would have sent you to the hospital."
Qin Sheng's strength was not small. The boy grimaced in pain and almost screamed. At this time, Song Ruyu just opened the door of the main hall. Qin Sheng released him at the right time and kept a distance from the boy. The boy did not dare to say anything. He did not dare to act recklessly because he knew his great grandfather's temper. He could not guarantee that he would be beaten, so he could only swallow the loss.
Song Ruyu opened the door and said, "Grandpa, brother and sister-in-law are here."
Qin Ran, who was chatting inside, saw that there were guests in the Song Family. She smiled and stood up. "Grandpa Song, we won't bother you anymore. We'll go back first. We'll come to see you another day."
Old Master Song did not ask them to stay. He knew that the Qin Family had other arrangements. He said directly, "Okay. Ran Ran, I won't keep you. Let Xiao He see you out on my behalf."
Qin Ran walked to Qin Sheng and said goodbye to the other members of the Song Family. Then they left. Secretary He walked them out. When Qin Sheng turned around, Song Ruyu gave him a faint smile. Song Hesheng saw this detail and could only sigh in his heart.
After Qin Ran went out and got in the car, she asked casually, "How do you feel about Song Ruyu?"
Qin Sheng did not know the deeper meaning of his sister's words. He was a little confused, but he still replied, "Well, how should I say it? I feel strange. Her temperament is very special. If I had to describe her, I would say that she is as gentle as jade."
Qin Ran chuckled and said, "Hahaha, you don't know how many men in Sijiu City want to marry Song Ruyu and how many people Grandpa Song has rejected. Those who can talk to Grandpa Song are not ordinary people. Song Ruyu is even more arrogant. She has never fallen in love with anyone. But I also think that no man is worthy of her. When you get to know her better, you will know that she is not simple. "
Qin Sheng did not answer. He could not say that he did not want to marry her and that it had nothing to do with him. He was afraid that he did not know when they would meet again. If he really said that and Qin Ran replied that he was engaged to her before she was born, Qin Sheng would be so shocked that his jaw would drop.
After Qin Ran and Qin Sheng returned to the siheyuan of the Qin Family, Qin Changan did not ask how things were in the Song Family. He knew that Qin Ran would definitely report to him later. Then he arranged for Qin Ran to take Qin Sheng to the next house.
At this moment, in the Song Family, Old Master Song had returned to the study from the main hall. The three men of the Song Family were called in. Song Ruyu was accompanying her brother and sister-in-law in the main hall, but her mind was in the study. She was smart enough to guess why Grandpa called her uncle, father and brother to the study.
