I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 121 Do You Know the Bai Family - Bai Ruonan 30

That night, Sheng Changbai came to his mother Wang Ruofu. Because he had said in advance that he had something to say, his father Sheng Hong was also there.

Sheng Changbai sat on the stool in front of the table, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and suddenly said as he looked at his parents, "Gu Tingye said he wanted to marry Rulan."

After saying this, Sheng Changbai was about to take a sip of tea, but before the teacup touched his lips, he saw his mother slide off the bed, and his father was choked by the tea and kept coughing.

After Sheng Changbai helped his mother sit down, Wang Ruofu looked at Sheng Changbai, seemingly incredulous: "What...what, Gu Tingye wants to marry Rulan?"

Sheng Changbai nodded: "Yes, Gu Tingye said that Rulan is lively and cheerful, kind and sincere, gentle and lovely. He has been attracted to Rulan for a long time. He also said that if he marries Rulan, he will have no regrets in his life."

The more Sheng Hong listened, the more he felt something was wrong, and he quickly said, "He was talking about Rulan, but why do I feel like what he said is not like Rulan's character?"

Wang Ruofu looked at Sheng Hong and disagreed with what he said: "Why doesn't this seem like Rulan's personality? Rulan is just as lively and cheerful as Gu Tingye said, kind and sincere. I see that you usually only pay attention to Lin Qinshuang's Molan from Linqi Pavilion and dote on her. When have you ever cared about my Ruer?"

"My Ru'er is so old now, and you, as a father, don't even know what her personality is like."

Sheng Hong looked at her and said helplessly: "I'm just expressing my opinion. Why are you so anxious? You just can't keep your cool."

Wang Ruofu ignored him. At this moment, her face was full of smiles. "In my opinion, Gu Tingye is a good candidate for a son-in-law. He passed the exam in one try, just like Bo Ge'er. With his ability and family background, there is no doubt that he will have a bright future. Maybe if my Ru'er marries him, she will even have an imperial decree in the future."

Seeing her mother's excitement, as if Rulan was going to marry Gu Tingye tomorrow, Sheng Changbai poured a bucket of cold water on her at this time: "Mother, don't be too happy too soon. For this marriage to be successful, Rulan still needs to agree."

Although Sheng Changbai studied with Gu Tingye in the Sheng family private school before the imperial examination, Gu Tingye and Rulan still maintained a normal relationship on the surface. He could not tell that the two had already fallen in love with each other, so he asked this question.

Wang Ruofu looked at Sheng Changbai in surprise. She didn't think Rulan would refuse. "She doesn't agree to such a good marriage. Could it be that she wants to marry the Jade Emperor? Don't worry, she will definitely agree once I say it."

After Sheng Changbai finished speaking and left, Wang Ruofu walked around the room happily. She couldn't wait until tomorrow, and she wanted to tell Rulan the good news now.

So, she ignored Sheng Hong who was still sitting there and took Mother Liu to Rulan.

At this time, Rulan had already taken off her outer clothes and lay on the bed wearing only her inner clothes. Just when she closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep, her mother came in.

"Mother, why are you here so late?" Rulan asked in surprise.

As soon as Rulan got out of bed, Wang Ruofu, who looked very happy, pulled her to sit at the table.

"Ruru, your second brother just told me that Gu Tingye wants to marry you. Are you willing?"

Rulan didn't react for a moment: "Ah?"

Looking at her mother's expression, she knew that what she said must be true. Gu Tingye had told her before that he wanted to marry her, and she thought she would have to wait for a while. Unexpectedly, he asked her second brother to tell her mother so soon.

Seeing Rulan stunned for a moment, Wang Ruofu told her everything Sheng Changbai had just said to her.

After hearing this, Rulan was happy but still a little worried. Although she liked Gu Tingye, their family backgrounds were not compatible. Her father's official position was not high, while Gu Tingye was born in a marquis's mansion. Would Gu Tingye's mother easily agree to her marrying Gu Tingye?

Thinking about it in her mind, she expressed her thoughts, but unexpectedly, her mother's expression did not change at all, and she was not worried about the issue at all.

I only heard my mother say, "I have also asked your second brother about this question. He said that Gu Tingye has already told his mother, Princess Changning, about marrying you, and Princess Changning has no objection. She is waiting for your consent and will find a suitable time to come and propose marriage."

"Gu Tingye is a famous young talent in Bianjing City, and he is a good friend of your second brother. You also know what kind of personality your second brother has. If it weren't for Gu Tingye's good character, he wouldn't have been able to play with Gu Tingye for so many years."

"Ru'er, listen to your mother. Don't hesitate. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again."

Rulan lowered her head, twisting the handkerchief in her hands with both hands. After a while, she spoke softly, "My parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, my mother has the final say on my marriage."

Hearing this, Wang Ruofu and Mother Liu looked at each other. Since Ruer didn't object, they knew that the matter was settled.

After her mother left, Rulan could no longer control herself. She got on the bed, covered herself with the quilt, and grabbed the quilt with both hands, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. In the light of the candlelight, a hint of wateriness appeared in her eyes, and the joy in them was clearly visible.

.......

Soon, Qingyue chose a good time and went to the Sheng family with the selected gifts and Gu Tingye.

The weather is particularly good today, with a gentle breeze and beautiful weather. Along the way, you can occasionally hear the chirping of birds in the distance, which is particularly beautiful.

When they arrived at the Sheng family, Qingyue was welcomed into the main hall by Wang Ruofu, and Sheng Hong's stepmother, the old lady, was also present.

After Qingyue greeted the old lady, she talked about the reason why she came to the Sheng family.

When she said that Gu Tingye was going to marry Rulan, everyone was shocked except those who knew about it in advance.

Minglan and Molan both turned to look at Rulan. Minglan usually had a good relationship with Rulan, and at this moment she was sincerely happy that Rulan could have such a good marriage.

But Molan didn't think the same as Minglan. She and Rulan had always been at odds. Rulan had such a good marriage, but she felt uncomfortable and sad when she thought about her father wanting to marry her to a poor scholar.

If she wasn't in public now, she would have lost control of her temper.

After finally waiting for the end and seeing Qingyue off with the elders of the Sheng family, she could no longer hold back and went to her mother in Linqi Pavilion when she saw Rulan staying by her mother's side, smiling happily because she had found a good marriage.

As soon as she entered Linqi Pavilion, Molan swept all the things that were in the way to the ground. Lin Qinshuang was startled by her action. When she wanted to stop her, it was too late. Tea bowls, books, brushes, etc. were all scattered on the ground.

Lin Qinshuang stood behind her with anger on her face: "Mo'er, what are you doing?"

"What else can I do? Rulan is going to marry into the Marquis's Mansion, and I am also a daughter of the Sheng family, but my father wants to marry me to a poor scholar. Why?"
