Zhan Yuzhao's words made Sheng Guoer feel that he was just a child in terms of emotions, that is, he wanted to have what others had. To put it simply, he was a boy with a strong desire to win and lose.
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "Emotional matters are not a competition, let alone a war. It is not something that others have, you must have it. You have to find a suitable person, not an excellent person!"
Zhan Yuzhao waved his hand and said, "You and I have exactly the opposite ideas when it comes to relationships. What I think is right is right, and a good person is the right person for me!"
Sheng Guoer said nothing, but told Zhan Yuzhao his attitude through actions.
She returned all the gifts and wrote a letter to Zhan Yuzhao, asking him to take it back to show Mr. Futai.
Zhan Yuzhao opened the letter and looked at it, and was immediately surprised and said: "How dare you refuse Mr. Futai's marriage! How am I inferior to Meng Xingzhou!"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "Just what you said is enough to prove that we are not the same person."
Zhan Yuzhao closed the letter and said: "Sheng Guo'er, you have to know that the power of our family is not comparable to that of the Meng family. Only if you marry me will you enjoy the respected status. And I also need your wise mind to develop me." family!"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "In this way, in your eyes, I am just a tool to make a fortune. Ask yourself, do you really love me?"
Zhan Yuzhao stood with his hands behind his back and said: "The great cause of the country is the most important. As for the relationship, it can be cultivated slowly. Besides, marriage is just a contract, just living a life! The important thing is to achieve fame and great cause!"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said, "It seems that you value career more than love. The most suitable person for you is the daughter of a prince or minister, not a country girl like me!"
Zhan Yuzhao smiled and said: "I have the daughters of princes and ministers at my fingertips, but these women cannot fundamentally help me. What's the use of relying on family power alone! I don't want to be dependent on others!"
Zhan Yuzhao is a man with great ambitions and has always had the ambition to conquer the world. His ideal partner is a woman like Empress Lu of the Han Dynasty, a woman who can help him compete in the Central Plains.
How could Sheng Guoer not know what this kind of man thinks, just like some modern corporate bosses, they need not only a beautiful woman, but also a virtuous wife, or even a wife who is like a career strategist.
Therefore, a woman who only pays attention to her appearance without paying attention to her connotation cannot attract better men. After all, men are not stupid. A woman's appearance can only bloom for a while, but cannot be beautiful for a lifetime. Therefore, it is impossible to rely on beauty to win a dragon. The woman who wants a quick husband will end up miserable in the end.
Sheng Guoer not only has a beautiful appearance, but also a wise mind, which exactly meets Zhan Yuzhao's criteria for choosing a mate.
It's just that he overlooked one thing. This kind of utilitarian marriage can only be regarded as a transaction and cooperation. In the end, it will be a burden to each other. In the end, the two can only be comrades in arms, not lovers, leaving an ending of being in the same bed but having different dreams.
Sheng Guoer knew this ending too well, and she didn't want it to be like this. Even in ancient times, she only wanted to make a fortune and live a leisurely life. She did not want to be a queen's wife, nor did she want to be a man's vassal.
The reason why I chose Meng Xingzhou is that he is relatively mature and knows how to respect his own wishes. Such men were rare in ancient times and even in modern times.
So no matter what conditions Zhan Yuzhao offered, Sheng Guoer made up her mind from the bottom of her heart and would not marry him.
Sheng Guoer said: "Mr. Zhan, no matter what you say, nothing can move my heart. What I like is Meng Xingzhou. If you make things difficult for us because of this, don't blame me for taking action!"
Zhan Yuzhao did not expect Sheng Guoer to refuse so simply. He said: "Miss Sheng, you'd better think about it again. I am willing to accept the competition!"
Sheng Guoer smiled calmly and said: "There is no need to compete at all, because you are not even qualified to compete!"
To be able to reject such a handsome talent is something no one would have imagined. Qiu Xue thought to herself that Sister Guoer was really different. If she had such a husband, she would wake up from her dream with a smile. However, Sister Guoer flatly refused, which is really extraordinary.
Xiao Tao was also very puzzled. Why would her sister reject such an outstanding man? Zhan Yuzhao was as generous as Meng Xingzhou, even more so!
At this time, Mrs. Shen came back. Seeing this situation, Xiao Tao stepped forward and briefly explained the situation. Mrs. Shen ran in in horror and said, "Guo'er, why are you so rude to Mr. Futai's young master! "
Sheng Guoer said: "Mom, I have my own ideas about my affairs, you don't have to worry."
Mrs. Shen knows her daughter's character. Once she makes up her mind, even eight horses can't pull her back. Therefore, Mrs. Shen had no choice but to smooth things over and said: "Mr. Zhan, my family is a commoner among the stars and is not worthy of Mr. Futai's high-end mansion. I'll just let it go. Besides, in life, the most important thing is a word of faith. We have already agreed." If you continue to do this to the Meng family, you will be robbing the bride. This is also a shameless thing for Mr. Futai, right? "
In fact, Mr. Futai didn't know that Sheng Guoer had already made an engagement with the Meng family, so he asked Zhan Yuzhao to come and propose marriage. But Zhan Yuzhao clearly knew that the other party wanted to grab Sheng Guoer even after they were engaged, which showed Sheng Guoer's charm.
Seeing what Shen said, Zhan Yuzhao knew that the matter was irreversible. If his father knew that Sheng Guoer was engaged and he was trying to steal her, he would definitely be angry. After all, trust is still very important in this era.
Therefore, Zhan Yuzhao cupped his hands and said: "In that case, it is not convenient for Yuzhao to force it anymore. There is just one thing I hope Miss Sheng will agree to."
Sheng Guoer asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhan Yuzhao said: "From now on, can I become friends with Miss Sheng? Even if we cannot become husband and wife, I would still like to become friends with Miss Sheng. It will be a great comfort to me throughout my life."
Mrs. Shen nodded to Sheng Guoer, after all, he still had to give face.
Sheng Guo'er said: "If we are just friends, Sheng Guo'er is reaching too far. I hope Master Zhan will be reserved and polite in the future, and we will help each other!"
Zhan Yu Zhaoxin said that it would be good to settle for the next best thing. Both sides saved some face.
Shen said: "In that case, Master Zhan, please stay here for dinner! It can also be regarded as a celebration for you becoming friends."
Zhan Yuzhao cupped his hands and said: "I'm sorry, I have to go back to restore my father's life, so I won't bother you anymore. I'll bother you again when I have the opportunity!"
Sheng Guoer thought to send him away quickly. If the delay lasted for a long time, there might be another trouble. So Sheng Guoer said: "In that case, I will send someone to take you back!"
Zhan Yuzhao waved his hand and said, "No need to bother, I can just go back on my own!"
After saying that, Zhan Yuzhao bowed his hands and left the Sheng family.
Mrs. Shen sighed and said, "Fortunately, he is sensible. Otherwise, if you really meet a scoundrel and a playboy, I'll see what you do!"
Sheng Guoer shook his head and said: "From the beginning, I thought Zhan Yuzhao was not a playboy. He was a man with lofty ideals. He just liked my talents, not me. If I were with him, Maybe I can become a famous lady in the world, but I will lose myself!"
Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "Can a woman still have herself?"
Sheng Guoer turned around and said, "Mom, why can't women have themselves?"
After saying that, Sheng Guoer turned around and walked out with a smile, leaving Shen alone to think.
After a while, Mrs. Shen came back to her senses and asked hurriedly: "Where are you going, Guo'er?"
Sheng Guoer's voice came from outside the door: "I'm going to see Sheng Shi!"
Since the status of Sheng Guoer's family changed to that of a middle-aged man, Meng Xingzhou's requirements for Sheng Shi have become very strict, requiring him to study hard and pass the Ming Jing Ke examination.
Therefore, Sheng Shi studied hard in the classroom every day. He already lived in a private school and didn't go home for several days.
Sheng Guoer was worried that her brother would not be able to eat well, so she went to comfort her brother with delicious food.
As soon as he arrived at the private school, he saw Meng Xingzhou also there.
"Xingzhou, you happen to be here too, I'm here to bring you some delicious food." Sheng Guoer handed over the things naturally.
But Meng Xingzhou didn't respond at all and was still reading.
"I'm talking to you, what are you doing!" Sheng Guo frowned and put the basket on the table and said, "Why don't you speak when you see me?"
Meng Xingzhou coughed and said, "Miss Sheng is busy with her career and getting married to Mr. Futai. How dare I trouble you?"
Sheng Guoer smiled when he heard the words, Ganqing knew that everything was good in this village, but it could not hide things. If there was any trouble, the whole village would know about it.
Maybe the talkative guy saw Zhan Yuzhao, leaned against the wall and listened, and then told Meng Xingzhou. This guy was jealous.
Sheng Guoer thought this was a good thing. It would be good for Meng Xingzhou to care more about herself. After all, it was fun to see her boyfriend jealous!
So, Sheng Guoer sighed and sat across from Meng Xingzhou. Meng Xingzhou covered his face with a book. Sheng Guoer leaned over and knocked on the book and said, "Hey, can you open the door? Little brother, expose you." Let me see your face."
Meng Xingzhou snorted and turned away to ignore Sheng Guoer.
Sheng Guoer curled her lips and had an idea, and said: "Oh, if you ask me, Zhan Yuzhao is actually quite good. He is handsome and rich. As for his official position, he is a fourth-rank sword-wielding guard in front of the imperial family. He is talented in martial arts. That’s really no choice.”
Meng Xingzhou was stimulated. He put down the book and said: "What about first-class literary talent and martial arts? What about a fourth-grade imperial guard with a sword? I tell you, I would have been a general a long time ago. If I hadn't wanted to switch to a civilian position, with my military merit, I would be better than Master Futai must be of a higher level!"
Sheng Guoer smiled and said: "How childish, compared to these, besides, aren't you still an academician now, let alone a general, haha!"
Meng Xingzhou got up and went to the back room. Sheng Guoer looked over. After a while, he saw Meng Xingzhou walking out in military uniform, looking quite heroic.
"What are you doing?" Sheng Guoer asked curiously.
Meng Xingzhou held his head high and said: "Don't you like generals? Okay, I will go to the governor now to report my general merits and show the gold medal given to me by the Holy One. From today on, I will resume the title of general." !”
After saying that, Meng Xingzhou was about to leave. Sheng Guoer hurriedly stopped Meng Xingzhou and said, "Hey, hey, I know you are great, okay? I didn't say I liked the general, I was just teasing you!"
Meng Xingzhou sat there angrily, and Sheng Guoer said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I have already rejected Zhan Yuzhao!"
Meng Xingzhou was stunned when he heard this, turned around and asked, "Is this true?"
Sheng Guoer nodded, and Meng Xingzhou jumped up happily and said, "I told you that you won't be vain. Hahahaha!"
Sheng Guoer glanced at Meng Xingzhou with disdain and said, "Idiot!"
Meng Xingzhou took off his armor and said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute!"
After saying that, Meng Xingzhou turned around and went to the back room. Sheng Guoer looked at Meng Xingzhou's back in confusion and thought to herself, what on earth is this guy going to do?
