'Zhou Zhiruo, I'll use you as a shield first, I have to give her face.'
Song Qingshu understood that once he refused, no matter how tactful his reason was, it was very likely to offend Wangwu Faction. In The Return of the Condor Heroes, Yang Guo refused Guo Jing's marriage proposal and planted a seed of hatred in Guo Fu, so that later his right hand was chopped off by the other party.
Judging from Zeng Rou's character, she shouldn't be able to do such a bold thing. But this time, if Song Qingshu wanted to be the Golden Snake King, he still needed Wangwu Faction's support.
As the saying goes, even if business fails, benevolence and righteousness prevail. It's not that I don't want to marry your disciple, but I already have a wife, so everyone's face will look good.
Because of this kind of force majeure, I can't marry someone from Wangwu Faction, presumably they can also understand. If you don't recommend me, Xia Qingqing will. When the time comes, it won't be difficult for them to agree to my qualifications.
Hearing that Song Qingshu was already married, Xia Qingqing looked at him with a complicated expression. She couldn't help but sigh at her own identity, for a moment she became sensitive.
On the other side, Zeng Rou had a shy face, nervously lowering her head and fiddling with the hem of her clothes. Hearing Song Qingshu's answer, her pretty face turned pale.
To the three people's complete surprise, when Situ Bolei heard Song Qingshu's words, not only was he not angry, his expression didn't even change a little bit.
"This old man also knows that with Rou 'er's identity, she naturally won't ask for the position of Young Master's official wife. She only asks to serve Young Master by his side."
Hearing Situ Bolei's answer, the three people in the room were shocked.
Being from the Golden Snake Camp, Xia Qingqing knew best how much Situ Bolei treasured this female disciple. Zeng Rou was gentle and delicate, with a sweet and pretty appearance. Ever since Wangwu Faction joined the Golden Snake Camp, her reputation had spread. Several other Mountain Chieftains came one after another to propose marriage for their sons, but Situ Bolei refused all of them. Everyone guessed that he wanted to keep Zeng Rou as his own son.
Now seeing Situ Bolei present her to Song Qingshu like a maidservant, how could Xia Qingqing not be shocked?
Zeng Rou didn't expect her master to say that either. She froze on the spot, not knowing what to think.
Song Qingshu was dumbfounded. He had thought that by using Zhou Zhiruo as a shield, Situ Bolei would definitely back off. Song Qingshu had given him a way out of this embarrassing situation, so he took the opportunity to laugh it off, and the two of them had moved on from this topic. He had never expected that Situ Bolei would actually give such an answer.
She looked up at Zeng Rou, who was standing not far away. Her sweet face was faintly blushing, and she stood timidly by Situ Bolei's side, making people feel a little pity for her.
She's a cute girl, but I can't take all the women in the world, right?
Feeling Xia Qingqing's gaze, Song Qingshu felt a slight chill on his back. He hurriedly said, "Old Hero Situ, Miss Zeng is gentle, virtuous, and beautiful. She deserves a husband who will wholeheartedly care for her. If she follows me, it will be too much for Miss Zeng. I hope Old Hero will reconsider."
"Prince Song, don't worry. As the saying goes, it's better to be a hero's concubine than a mediocre man's wife. Rou 'er will definitely be willing to marry a hero like Young Master." Situ Bolei laughed and turned to look at Zeng Rou. "Rou' er, don't you think so?"
Zeng Rou was dumbfounded, thinking that her master was too much. How could a girl answer this kind of question?
Feeling everyone's gaze, Zeng Rou's face turned red. She lowered her head and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "Rou 'er will listen to Master's arrangements."
Song Qingshu was about to find another reason to refuse when Xia Qingqing, who was beside him, quietly tugged on his sleeve and pouted her lips in Zeng Rou's direction. Puzzled, Song Qingshu followed her gaze and saw that Zeng Rou's eyes were glistening with tears. Her body was slightly trembling, and her hands were twisted together. Because she was using too much strength, her knuckles were slightly white. It was obvious that she was extremely nervous.
Song Qingshu sighed in his heart. He knew that if he continued, he would hurt this innocent girl's heart. But how could he casually agree to this kind of thing?
Song Qingshu's expression was uncertain. Just as he was hesitating, Xia Qingqing suddenly said, "Since Old Hero Situ is willing to do business, our Young Master will agree."
Situ Bolei looked at her strangely. "Oh? May I know who this young lady is? "
Before Song QingShu could reply, Xia Qingqing replied, "I am the young master's trusted maid. Before we came up the mountain, the young master and I chatted a lot. He often mentioned Miss Zeng, praising how gentle and kind she was. Seeing her today, I can see that she really lives up to her reputation. Regarding Old Hero's proposal, Young Master has long been moved. It's just that he is worried that Miss Zeng will feel wronged. "
Hearing her words, Situ Bolei immediately beamed with joy. He laughed and said, "Not wronged, not wronged. If Zeng Xiong's spirit in heaven knows that his daughter can have a son-in-law like Prince Song, he will certainly be very gratified." The rest of the people in the room cupped their hands to express their congratulations. Zeng Rou, with a tender face, tenderly snorted, "I'm going to ignore you all." Then she hurriedly ran to the back hall.
Things had come to this point, what else could Song Qingshu say? If he refused again, he would definitely hurt Wangwu Pai's face. What was originally a beautiful thing would turn into a disaster. In the early days, it was not easy to plant this chess piece in Golden Snake Camp. How could he watch the chess game collapse now?
Thinking of this, Song Qingshu couldn't help glaring at Xia Qingqing.
Xia Qingqing had a complacent look on her face, but in her heart she thought: What does it have to do with me? In any case, she is not your wife, let your family's Zhou Zhiruo bother her.
If Song Qingshu could read Xia Qingqing's thoughts at this moment, perhaps he would vomit three liters of blood because of her black-bellied words. However, out of courtesy, he still had to formally reply to Situ Bolei: "Thank you very much for Qianbei's kindness, later on I will definitely treat Miss Zeng well, I won't let her suffer even the slightest bit of harm."
"You still call me Qianbei," Situ Bolei pretended to be displeased, "You and Rou 'er … um, that won't do, your martial art skill is so high, I can't afford to be your Shifu. How about this, Rou' er's deceased father and I are sworn brothers, later on Gongzi can call me Shishu."
Song Qingshu broke out in cold sweat; he had no choice but to say, "I dare not obey, later on Shishu also don't call me Gongzi, Gongzi, I can't afford to."
Situ Bolei laughed heartily: "In that case, from now on this old man will call you Shu 'er."
"You might as well call me nephew …" Song Qingshu cursed incessantly, thinking of the concubine Xiang Shaolong called Shu 'er in the' Looking for Qin ', she was raped first and then killed …
Song Qingshu only felt a wave of nausea and quickly chatted with Situ Bolei.
"Shu 'er, when do you think this wedding will be held?"
"This … there's no hurry, right now there are internal and external troubles, not only do we have to fight for the Golden Snake King, we also have to deal with the Manchurian imperial army."
"Um, that's true …"
Situ Bolei had not finished speaking when Situ He suddenly spoke: "Father, I don't quite agree with this point of view. Right now everyone is living a life of licking blood on the edge of a knife, no one knows what will happen tomorrow. It's better to let the two get married as soon as possible, if they can give birth to a boy and a girl, everyone will have something to look forward to. "
"Give birth?" Song Qingshu was suddenly dumbfounded, "There's no need to be so fast, right?" He couldn't help but secretly groan, originally he still wanted to delay the marriage, who knew that now the other party even put giving birth to a child on the agenda.
"That's right, Brother Song must not underestimate this issue of children. Since Brother Song has agreed to marry Junior Sister, we are naturally a family. In the future Wangwu Pai will naturally follow Brother Song's lead, even if Brother Song meets with misfortune, we can still unite people's hearts with Brother Song's children. "
"I won't mention that if Emperor Chongzhen's children had escaped from Beijing, there would not have been a split in the Southern Ming Dynasty later. Let's talk about recent matters, why did the once flourishing Golden Snake Camp fall apart today? Isn't it because after so many years, that whatever Xia Qingqing did not leave behind a child for the Golden Snake King Yuan Chengzhi? If her belly was good enough and gave birth to a son, everyone would naturally regard her son as the trusted Golden Snake King, and there would not be such a situation where the various mountain chieftains were not convinced by each other and killed each other. "
Seeing that Xia Qingqing's face was getting darker and darker, Song Qingshu secretly laughed, thinking that you deserve to push me into the fire pit just now, now the fire is burning you, right?
Although it was somewhat satisfying to gloat, Song Qingshu did not dare to let Situ He continue speaking, in case he really made Xia Qingqing flip out, it would be difficult to clean up the mess. He quickly interrupted Situ He and said, "Now that the world is in chaos and disputes, if we get married so early, if your Junior Sister becomes a widow, how can I feel guilty?"
Seeing that Situ He still wanted to say something, Song Qingshu quickly said, "At least wait until after this Golden Snake Convention is over, otherwise, if I fail to compete for the Golden Snake King, I won't have the face to face Miss Zeng and you."
Situ Bolei laughed and said, "Shu 'er, what are you talking about? If you can't become the Golden Snake King, at worst we will leave the Golden Snake Camp together and start our own. With your martial arts and intelligence, I think your achievements will not be inferior to the Golden Snake Camp's motley crew."
Situ Bolei came from the world's famous and powerful Guanning Iron Cavalry. In the past, he was an existence that confronted the most elite Eight Banners Cavalry head-on, so he naturally did not put the Golden Snake Camp's group of bandits and bandits in his eyes.
Seeing that Situ Bolei had flattened Yuan Chengzhi's heart to nothing, Xia Qingqing suddenly felt indignant. She was about to argue with him when she suddenly remembered that she had decided to follow Song Qingshu from now on. If she spoke up for Yuan Chengzhi at this time, would he have any bad ideas about her?
Worried about personal gains and losses, Xia Qingqing momentarily forgot to speak.
Situ Bolei and Song Qingshu chatted for a while, and suddenly said mysteriously, "There is no hurry to hold the wedding. Now there is a person in the camp who wants to see Shu 'er."
"See me?" Song Qingshu had a surprised look on his face. Seeing Situ Bolei was so serious about this matter, he could not help but ask curiously, "I wonder who wants to see me?"
"This …" Situ Bolei hesitantly glanced at Xia Qingqing, but he still shook his head and said, "You will know when you see him yourself."
Song Qingshu immediately sank into contemplation. Who else in Wangwu Pai was worthy of Situ Bolei being so serious? It should not be someone from the inside … Situ Bolei used to be Wu Sangui's subordinate, could it be that Wu Sangui's envoy was also here?
Song Qingshu shook his head slightly and very quickly drove this thought out of his mind. Situ Bolei had always deeply hated Wu Sangui's act of betraying his country, how could it be possible that Situ Bolei was connected to him? But if it was not Wu Sangui's people, then who could it be?
Xia Qingqing was obviously very surprised. She stood up and said to Song Qingshu, "I will go with you." Obviously, she was worried that there was some kind of trick involved.
Situ Bolei promptly waved his hand and said, "You can't, you can't. That person has already made it clear that he will only see Shu 'er alone, he will not see anyone else."
