The teahouse mainly receives literati students. Except for some private rooms on the third floor that are tightly soundproofed, other rooms are almost all simply separated by screens in order to allow these literati to hear good speeches and speak freely together and make friends. You can hear it clearly even if it's a little louder.
At this time, the voice that made Yu Shu pause was the words of a young student.
"Brother Jiang Hua, can you negotiate with your family to cancel your engagement?"
Jiang Hua, the hero is here too.
Yu Shu's eyes fell on He Nanjin's face. Seeing the man handing her the snack without any guilt, Yu Shu raised her hand to take it and turned her attention to the next door, wanting to hear what the male protagonist would say.
"My parents keep their promises too much. The young lady of the Yu family who is engaged to me has lost both her parents and she is the only one left in the family. To break off the engagement at this time would be unkind and unjust. How could my parents allow me to do this?" Jiang Hua sighed and said, unable to hide the distress on his face.
The friends in the room listened and felt aggrieved for Jiang Hua and felt sorry for Jiang Hua and Bai Rouwan's previous love.
The friend sitting with Bai Rouwan patted Bai Rouwan's shoulder comfortingly and said.
"It's really pitiful that Miss Yu's parents both died, but that's not the reason why she tied you up with a feudal marriage. Jiang Hua, you and Rouwan are a match made in heaven. You still have to fight what you should fight, but don't fight for a blind marriage. The feudal women who marry dumb have failed our talented white women."
Jiang Hua nodded heavily to show that he would not give up, but he still couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face.
"I will not give up my determination to break off the engagement to my parents, but Miss Yu is weak, and everyone in the world favors the weaker party. If I break off the engagement, and Miss Yu makes a fuss, I am afraid that there will be nothing in this sea city." Good reputation.”
After returning, Jiang Hua participated in many cultural salons and gained a reputation as a progressive youth and gained many supporters. He really didn't want to let these disappear and his good reputation became a mess.
But if he breaks up with Bai Rouwan and goes back to marry Yu Shu according to his parents' advice, he is reluctant.
Now I say this to my friends first, to show my helplessness and how difficult it is to fight against feudal ideas.
Everyone present was Jiang Hua's friend, so they naturally stood by his side, and hearing him speak so helplessly, they immediately spoke out in support.
"Miss Yu forced Brother Jiang Hua to marry her through a feudal marriage. How weak is she? This is very strong."
"Brother Jiang Hua, don't worry, disbanding feudal marriage and pursuing free love is a progressive idea. We are all on your side. If Miss Yu dares to use a marriage contract to force you to get married, we are not weak enough to resist. .”
"She is really a woman who has been poisoned by feudal ideas. She has no feelings for you, and she will not be happy if she reluctantly marries into the Jiang family. She might as well be a progressive woman, go to a girls' school like us, learn progressive ideas, and give you and her Rouwan is happy." This is what Bai Rouwan's close friend said.
Each of them accused a woman they had never met word by word. They did not even think about what would happen to this woman who had received a feudal education since she was a child and her friend broke off the engagement.
They only thought that Yu Shu hindered Jiang Hua and Bai Rouwan's happiness. It seemed that without Yu Shu, these two people would live happily.
And she, the obstacle, must be defeated.
Yu Shu swallowed the snack and held the cup in her hand to drink tea. Her fair hand rested on the teacup. It was not clear whether her porcelain-white hands were whiter or the cup was whiter.
"Those words should be treated as barking. It is common for dogs to bark unpleasantly and hard to hear. If they find it disturbing, I will tell them to shut up."
He Nanjin put his hand on the wooden warehouse, and the coldness in his eyes was not like shutting up physically, but as if he wanted these people to speak forever.
