Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress

Unexpectedly, less than half a month after seeing Liu Xi's true identity, Liu Xi actually came to propose marriage in person.

Shen Luming and his wife were pleasantly surprised. They had already fallen in love with Liu Xi, but now that Liu Xi could take the initiative to propose marriage, it was like a big pie falling from the sky to them. Although in the eyes of parents, their children are always the best, after all, their daughter is married and has a child who is a loser. Generally speaking, rich men will not accept such a woman, but Liu Xi was very sincere. Not only did he come to propose marriage in person, he also took the initiative to ask for marriage.

This sincerity made Shen Luming and his wife ecstatic and flattered, and they were busy doing their daughter's ideological work.

Juhua sneered and said, "I want to meet him in person and find out why he wants to marry me, a woman with children. With his financial resources, he can even marry the county magistrate's daughter."

The couple felt that their daughter's words made sense, so they arranged for them to meet alone.

When they met, Juhua said straight to the point: "Why do you want to marry me? With your financial resources, you can marry any rich lady in the Jin Dynasty. Why bother marrying a woman like me who has given birth to children?"

Liu Xi was more direct than her, saying: "Because I am Shijin's biological father, I have to take responsibility for what I have done.  "

"Okay, so it turns out that the bastard who violated me that day was really you? I'll fight you!" Juhua's suspicion was confirmed. She stood up angrily, grabbed Liu Xi and beat him.

Liu Xi did not fight back and stood there letting Juhua punch and kick her to vent her emotions.

Tired from the beating, Juhua bent down and held her knees, panting, and cursed: "Get out, I don't want to see you, let alone think that I can marry you, get out, get out right away----"

Liu Xi did not move and said in a deep voice: "You have finished beating, so you should allow me to say a few words. Even if you are a prisoner appointed by the imperial court to be on death row, you are still allowed a chance to appeal."

Juhua gritted her teeth and said, "You have done everything, what else is there to say? Based on the dirty things you have done, I will never forgive you in this life, and you will never let my son recognize you!"

She knew that the child was Liu Xi's weakness, so she deliberately used the child to stimulate him. Sure enough, when Liu Xi heard her talk about not letting her son recognize him, pain suddenly appeared on his face, and he said with difficulty: "Chrysanthemum, This matter is not what you imagine, I am also a victim..."

With that said, he told Juhua everything about Jing Shizi and Huo Qi's joint efforts to design him. He also said: "I am also very sorry that such a thing happened, but the effect of the medicine at that time was too strong and beyond human control. Now that things have happened, I am willing to take responsibility and treat you mother and son well." , give you mother and son a stable and happy life, I hope you can give me the opportunity to compensate you..."

Juhua will not be easily impressed. Although Liu Xi's reasons are very good and his violation of her is indeed excusable, Juhua still cannot accept marrying someone who offends her, so she rejects him rudely. .

However, who is Liu Xi? He is not a thin-skinned ancient man with serious machismo ideas. He is a modern man with modern ideas, and he will not give up because of Juhua's rejection.

So, sending flowers, writing poems, giving gifts, all the methods used by modern men to pursue girls were all borrowed from him and put into practice.

Slowly, Juhua was moved, and with her parents talking about Liu Xi's benefits in her ears day and night, she began to waver.

In the end, what made her decide to marry Liu Xi was not the advice of her parents, nor the mountains of gifts from Liu Xi, but a cart of ice, or to be precise, a basin of ice.

Because of the drought, major cities in the south are extremely hot. Chrysanthemums are very hot. It is only May and the weather is unbearable. Every day, everyone talks about the ice in the capital.

In the capital, when the weather is hot, as long as you have money, you can buy ice in the ice shop. They also have ice cellars in their mansions in the capital. When the weather is hot, they can take them out and put them in the house. But that's it.

However, in this small southern county, it is impossible to buy ice. Even the county magistrate's house cannot afford to build an ice cellar.

Therefore, using ice to drive away the heat is an unattainable luxury for chrysanthemums.

After Liu Xi heard that Juhua wanted to use ice, he immediately sent his men to Tongzhou Prefecture, where he bought a cart full of ice and hurriedly delivered it back.

Although Tongzhou is only more than a hundred miles away from Nong'an County where they live, because of the hot weather, the truckload of ice had already melted by the time it arrived home. The remaining pieces were in lumps and were driven away by Liu Xi. I sent it over, but there was only one potful!

When Juhua learned about this, she was completely moved and finally nodded and agreed to Liu Xi's proposal!
