Chapter 1086 The Unique Glory in the World
Qin Fangfei really thought so, and it was not something Ma Chuyang said to coax Chi Shuang.
It's not that Qin Fangfei is so unconventional, she just feels particularly comfortable living after the divorce and simply thinks that as long as the children live a good life, that's all that matters.
Besides, the eldest son Ma Chuyi already has children, and she has long been promoted to a grandmother, so there is no shortage of children from Ma Chuyang's side.
Besides, the child would also be born with the surname Ma, so why did she have to embarrass her son for the sake of the old Ma family? There were not many good people in the Ma family and her Qin family. She had never thought about continuing the family line.
As for her son's military achievements, leaving no one to inherit the family business... that's easy to do. She could adopt a child, or have her eldest son adopt a child. In short, it's not a big deal.
To put it bluntly, Qin Fangfei was worried about her youngest son growing old alone. Hadn't fortune-tellers long ago predicted that her son would be alone?
She didn't believe it before, but now she does. Half her life has passed, how can she not believe it?
Chi Shuang didn't believe what Ma Chuyang said, thinking that he was just trying to coax her and fool her in order to get married.
Ma Chuyang was so anxious that he dragged her out of the cabin and said, "Come on, I'll take you to ask your mother."
Chi Shuang was too shy to go. If she went to their house and asked them face to face, what would they say? Ma Chuyang's mother and her godmother had always been close friends. What would happen if they developed a rift because of her?
In the evening, everyone on board shared a meal of chopped green onion rolls, served with a few leaves of green vegetables and a light porridge. After the usual delicacies, this simple taste was surprisingly delicious.
Especially since the scallion rolls were made by Hong Que and Tang Xinghe together, they had a different meaning. The two of them exchanged glances, their cheeks flushed.
This couple is a good match.
Zheng Qiao'er's eyebrows curved with laughter the entire time. What she was eating wasn't a scallion roll, but a reassurance. "My stupid son has never touched water since he was a child..."
"Mom!" Tang Xinghe was afraid that his mother would bring up his childhood embarrassment again, so he quickly used his serving chopsticks to pick up a scallion roll and put it on the plate in front of Zheng Qiaoer. Feeling that it was not enough, he took another one and said, "Come on, have two more!"
gag!
Everyone laughed.
"Your son is grown up now. You can't call me 'son' anymore." Qin Fangfei even tasted sourness in the scallion rolls.
How envious! Other people's stupid sons have taken action, but her stupid son has not made any movement at all.
She turned her head to look... and felt heartbroken. Her stupid son was happily eating porridge and scallion rolls.
When can't he eat scallion rolls? Does she, as a mother, need a bite to eat?
It's true, time waits for no one. You only know how to eat! Stupid thing!
The scallion rolls were made on a whim, so how could they withstand being shared by so many people? They were gone in no time.
The cooks then brought out other exquisite side dishes, but no one picked up their chopsticks. They stared at the empty steamer, as if the other dishes had lost their flavor.
Hong Que was stunned for a moment. "How about... I get up early tomorrow and steam some more?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Qiao'er hurriedly called Hong Que over, took her hand and patted her gently, "Good girl, ignore them. These people are just looking for something new, don't take them seriously."
The whole room burst into laughter. "Oh my! Is this a mother-in-law feeling sorry for her daughter-in-law?"
The tips of the magpie's ears suddenly turned red, just like ripe crabapples on the branches.
Zheng Qiaoer was afraid that Hong Que would be laughed off by everyone because of her thin skin, so she quickly said, "Of course I love my own daughter-in-law!"
The young couple, the husband in love and the wife in love, had wasted half their lives. If she, as a mother, didn't make an effort and let them drag on, she was afraid it would take several more years.
That can't be done!
She decided to make the decision in front of everyone. "Hongque, I know you're the little princess of the Vina tribe, and you have a special status. The tribe's rules are different from ours in the capital... But I have a really good idea. Do you want to hear it?"
This sounded confusing, but everyone knew that Zheng Qiaoer was talking about "getting married", but she didn't mention the word "getting married" at all.
Hongque is a junior, so naturally she cannot refuse the "great idea" of her elders. She can only nod and say "I'll listen".
As long as she is willing to listen, it basically means she has agreed to the marriage.
But Tang Xinghe didn't understand his mother's evasiveness at all. He just felt that Hong Que would be uncomfortable in front of so many people, and he immediately complained, "Mother, if you have anything to say, please talk in private."
"Shut up!" Zheng Qiaoer glared at him, wishing she could kick her son into the river.
Tang Xinghe shut up awkwardly.
Zheng Qiaoer's expression changed quickly and she smiled at Hongque again.
Hong Que looked at Zheng Qiao'er's loving smile and felt a pang of pain in her nose. The tenderness between her eyebrows and eyes resonated with the memory of her grandmother.
Her fingertips unconsciously stroked the corner of her clothes, her eyes slightly warmed, and her heart softened, "Madam, please speak. I'm listening."
Zheng Qiaoer picked up the teacup and took a sip. She began to talk slowly and leisurely about the fundamental principles, "In this world, there are too many rules that are strictly followed..."
Everyone in the cabin was focused on him.
"Marriages should be based on the three books and six ceremonies. This is the custom passed down by our ancestors. But..."
But this boat trip would take at least one or two years. If we had to wait until we returned to Beijing to go through the Ministry of Rites' procedures, the process of accepting the marriage proposal and asking for the name would take half a year.
By the time the auspicious time comes, I'm afraid even the reeds on the shore will be white.
And she was afraid.
The longer the night, the more dreams there are! She understood this saying very well.
Many years ago, she thought she would soon be able to drink the daughter-in-law tea offered by Hong Que. However, after her son returned from the war, everything was gone.
Zheng Qiaoer didn't blame Hong Que, but only blamed her son for acting recklessly.
But she thought that as long as her son coaxed Hong Que well, they would be able to reconcile soon. Who knew that half his life would be wasted!
She found that Hong Que was the kind of girl who looked easy to coax but was actually very stubborn. Now that such a girl had softened her heart, she should quickly settle down.
A gleam of light flashed in Zheng Qiaoer's eyes.
This time, she was determined to keep her daughter-in-law under control and not let her escape again. "My dear, look at who's sitting on our ship? The retired emperors and empresses of two countries! If we can invite them to officiate the wedding, it will be more valuable than any three matchmakers and six certificates. Even if it's recorded in the family tree a hundred years later, it will be as prestigious as the imperial seal."
The cabin suddenly became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone suddenly realized that the Protector's wife had come to such lengths to get married right here on the blue waves.
Qin Fangfei lowered her eyes to hide her approval. Zheng Qiao'er was truly clever, having thought of taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Just ask yourself, what other marriage in the world could gather the supreme leaders of two countries as witnesses? Moreover, the civil and military officials selected by both countries to accompany the wedding were all important officials of the imperial court.
Any one of these people on the boat could be so powerful that the officials of the provincial government would kneel down to greet them within thirty miles.
Wonderful! Absolutely amazing! It saves time and effort, and brings glory, a truly unique honor.
At that moment, Qin Fangfei didn't know what was going on, "Yang'er, why don't you and Shuang'er come too..."
