Chapter 751 Peach Blossom (1)
Lu Huiniang is a first-class noble girl in Luoyang City. Her mother came from a famous family and her father held heavy troops. She was young and beautiful, and had an extraordinary talent.
When he was in the age of the palace, the people who came to propose marriage almost broke through the threshold of the Lu family.
General Lu and his wife were grateful to Cheng Wang for saving their lives back then, and they were always guilty of Pei Wanru's accidental death.
With these two points alone, General Lu may not be able to get married.
That year, a plague occurred in the army. Cheng Wang developed a prescription for treating the plague, saving the lives of thousands of soldiers in the army. He was named a sixth-rank medical officer and became famous all over the world. He was also known as the genius doctor of the Great Chu, along with Du Tidian in the palace.
Such a young talented man, who was as virtuous as a jade for his deceased wife, had not renewed her marriage for several years. General Lu then became interested and persuaded his daughter Lu Huiniang several times to persuade her daughter Lu Huiniang, and then he sent a letter to the border, waiting for Cheng Wang to come to propose marriage with confidence.
However, Cheng Wang quickly wrote a reply, and his words were tactful but firmly rejected the marriage.
General Lu was not very angry when he was surprised, and only sighed to Mrs. Lu: "It is because our Hui Niang is not lucky to have such a good son-in-law."
Mrs. Lu also felt helpless: "You have to be willing to marry me, but Medical Officer Cheng didn't want to, so he had to give up. Fortunately, this matter was not spread and had no effect on Hui Niang. We will choose another marriage for Hui Niang."
General Lu nodded.
The couple did not expect that Lu Huiniang, who was originally unwilling to be willing, became concerned about Cheng Wang after the marriage was rejected. The young man acted impulsively, and Lu Huiniang wrote to Cheng Wang, asking why Cheng Wang refused to marry him.
There were only two lines of words in Cheng Wang's reply to Lu Huiniang.
Once upon a time, the sea was invincible, but Wushan was not cloudy.
The young Lu Huiniang was deeply shocked. She read the letter several times, and then said to her parents: "Dad, mom, I will not marry in this life unless I am Chengwang."
General Lu, Mrs. Lu, could not resist her beloved daughter, and according to her daughter's wishes, she politely rejected the matchmaker who came to propose marriage.
Lu Huiniang delivers letters to the border every month.
Unfortunately, except for the first letter, Cheng Wang never replied in a word. He refused clearly and completely without any ambiguity.
When Lu Huiniang was eighteen years old, she went to the border with her personal soldiers and met Cheng Wang.
That year, when Cheng Wang was twenty-nine, he had a slender body and a handsome face. He was busy and tired, leaving a trace of vicissitudes on his handsome face, and his eyes were deep and calm.
The 18-year-old Lu Huiniang is like flowers on the branches, bright and beautiful, and charming.
A pair of black and white eyes fell firmly on Cheng Wang's face, and the girl's heart was passionate and direct: "Cheng Wang, I want to marry you as a wife."
Facing the beautiful girl who was unwilling to come to the border for thousands of miles, Cheng Wang was not moved, nor was he moved: "Thank you for your love. I had already made it clear in the letter two years ago. Miss Lu came from a famous family and was young. She had a great marriage waiting for Miss Lu, so don't waste time on me."
"I have no plans to renew my marriage. Please come back with Miss Lu!"
No one knew about this meeting except Chuan Bai. Lu Huiniang was sad and returned disappointed. After returning to Luoyang, she became ill.
There is no airtight wall in the world. Although the Lu family tried their best to conceal this matter, there was still some news. The news that Miss Lu had a heartfelt relationship gradually spread. Fewer and fewer matchmakers came to the door.
When he was twenty years old, Lu Huiniang went to the border again.
This time, Cheng Wang was unwilling to go out of the military camp to see her, so he sent Chuan Bai to send a message: "Miss Lu, please invite her back! The young master said that he is old and has no intention of remarrying. Miss Lu should not waste her youth. Find a good marriage earlier and get married as soon as possible!"
Lu Huiniang said stubbornly: "Come Cheng Wang to come to me personally. Otherwise, I will not go anywhere and wait outside the military camp every day. When will he come out to see me, and when will I go back to Luoyang."
When Cheng Wang met such a stubborn girl, he also felt a headache and had to go out of the military camp to see her.
After two years, she is still beautiful and charming, with a trace of white hair on his temples.
"Miss Lu," Cheng Wang also had a stubborn and cold side, and was not soft-hearted at all to Lu Huiniang: "I won't marry you. You have lost your heart earlier. After returning to Luoyang, find a good husband of the same age to marry!"
Lu Huiniang pursed her lips and said, "Cheng Wang, if you don't marry a wife for a day, I'll wait for you for a day. If you don't marry a woman for a year, I'll wait for you for a year."
Cheng Wang didn't know what he thought of, and pain flashed in his eyes and said lightly: "I have said what you should say. What you want to do is your business. In short, I won't marry you."
"You go! Don't write me in the future, and don't come to the border."
...
Lang's heart is like iron. No matter how hot Lu Huiniang is, she did not melt this cold heart as iron, and returned to Luoyang City lonely.
She was already twenty years old and became an old girl in Luoyang City. Some people still came to the house to marry the Lu family. However, the ones who came to propose marriage were no longer young men of fifteen or sixteen years old, but older men who had delayed their lifelong affairs due to various reasons, or widowers who lost their wives.
General Lu and Mrs. Lu greyed their hair for their beloved daughter's marriage.
Lu Huiniang did not mean to marry someone, and kept staying in the boudoir.
"Four years ago, my mother passed away seriously ill. I have been mourning for my mother for three years. No one cares about this delay."
Lu Huiniang spoke for a while and her voice gradually lowered: "My father had no choice but to make plans to not marry in this life. He thought that in two years, he would choose a clan brother from the clan to adopt him. When I get old in the future, there will be brothers to rely on."
"I also thought that this was my life."
"I like someone who is not good, but I just like a man who only has a dead wife in his heart. He would rather be alone with his longing for his dead wife than marry me. I can't force a person who doesn't like me and doesn't want to marry someone else, so I have to live like this."
"The Lu family also has a son in the border army. A few days ago, this cousin suddenly sent me a letter. After seeing the letter, I cried for half a day."
"I was already disheartened and gave up the idea of getting married and stopped writing letters to the border. The moment I saw the letter, I came back to life. He was finally willing to renew his marriage."
"Then, I packed my luggage and came to the capital directly, and came to see you with a strong face."
Lu Huiniang raised her eyes and looked at Cheng Jinrong with a complicated face: "Doctor Cheng, I know that your father cares about the most is you."
"I'm not so tactful. I want to be your stepmother, what do you think?"
