Chapter 195: Asking for Marriage
"It's okay for the prince to say it, even if it is to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, as long as the prince gives me an order, my Zhou family will definitely swear to the death!" Zhou Mao was apprehensive in his heart, but he made a firm and unrepentant look on his face.
Guo Hongye laughed and said loudly: "Old marquis, where do you speak, where are the juniors to let your old man go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, the juniors just want to ask the old marquis to promise to marry your eldest granddaughter to me!"
As soon as Guo Hongye's words came out, the three members of the Zhou family, father and son, all looked at him in surprise, as if they hadn't heard what he had just said, Guo Hongye had no choice but to continue: "The reason why the younger generation said this is because I am afraid that the old Hou Ye and the Hou Ye will dislike me for being old and unwilling to marry Ruhua's daughter to me, so they will play such a clever trick. But now I'm not afraid, because just now, the old Hou Ye, you have already promised me, and the Hou Ye and Lord Zhou will testify to me!" After speaking, he deliberately put on a smug look and looked at the three of them.
At this moment, the three of them finally reacted, and they were all happy at the moment.
There are many young talents in the capital, but there are really few who can compare to Guo Hongye, although Guo Hongye is over twenty-four years old and has not yet married, but that is because he wants to make contributions in the army. I heard that there was a room in his room, and even when he was in the army, he occasionally met him to go to some pastime places, so it can be completely proved that his body is fine, and Guo Hongye is handsome and noble, even if it is another ten or twenty years, it will definitely be one of the first choices for girls in the capital to marry!
If you marry your granddaughter to Guo Hongye, Zhou Mao is no problem at all, he glanced at Zhou Xiao vaguely, Zhou Xiao replied with a look, father and son have been getting along for many years, discussing military matters, sometimes it is inconvenient for many people to express their opinions, often such a look signal, so the two have long practiced a tacit understanding, and they both saw "agree" in each other's eyes.
Zhou Mao hurriedly laughed: "I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Prince to say this matter, it's not that I didn't agree, it's just that my granddaughter is stubborn and stupid, where is she worthy of His Royal Highness the Prince, so this matter is still asked His Royal Highness the Prince to take back his life, our Zhou family will never dare to have a delusion!" Of course, Zhou Mao said kind words, and at the same time, he was tempted again.
If Guo Hongye really wants to marry Zhou Huaiyu, then he will definitely continue to insist on bringing it up, but if he just says it, he will definitely take this step down, and everyone will still pretend that nothing has happened at that time. Who knows if Guo Hongye just wants to let their Zhou family follow him thoroughly through this marriage, if so, they may have to think about it!
When Guo Hongye heard Zhou Mao say this, he immediately showed a little anxiety, and then with some shyness, he suddenly bowed deeply to Zhou Mao, and it was not until Zhou Mao and others stepped forward to help him up that he said in a deep voice: "Guiyuan came here today, the most important thing is for this matter." To tell the truth, at the beginning, Guiyuan was actually out of curiosity, because I heard that Miss Zhou was extremely fat, but then I slowly found out that Miss Zhou was demure and virtuous, smart and lovely, although she was a little fat, but I heard that Miss Zhou had begun to realize and use practical actions to make herself better. Until not long ago, although Guiyuan was not able to see it in person, but I heard that Miss Zhou and the ceremony were radiant and beautiful, and Guiyuan couldn't help it anymore, so as soon as he came back yesterday, he came to ask for marriage today. ”
Originally, the father and son of the Zhou family just thought that Guo Hongye was going to marry Zhou Huaiyu as if he was doing it to envelop the Zhou family, but when they heard what he said at this time, they really began to be surprised.
Guo Hongye is accustomed to observing words and feelings, and then makes persistent efforts, "If the old marquis agrees to marry Miss Zhou to me as his wife, I will definitely love her for the rest of my life and not let her suffer a little grievance!
This time, Zhou Xiao didn't wait for Guo Hongye to bend down, so he hurriedly dragged him up, and then sighed and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince can look down on Huaiyu, it is the luck of Huaiyu and my Zhou family, but Your Royal Highness the Prince is not as ordinary as an ordinary person, and your marriage, Duke An Guo and Duchess Guo must have already been selected." And what Huaiyu is like, we know best, we don't think she can become a qualified Mrs. Anguo Gongzi! Besides, Anguo Mansion is full of royal relatives, Huaiyu is really difficult to run a family, I am afraid that it will add a lot of chaos to the prince and Anguo Mansion. ”
The reason why Zhou Xiao said this, in fact, he was already very satisfied with Guo Hongye in his heart, and he said this clearly, just to make Guo Hongye express a position, if these situations occur in the future, how should he face it, how should he treat his daughter?
When Guo Hongye heard this, he immediately promised: "My parents have already said about my marriage, and they will not interfere with me, even if I bring back a barbarian girl from the border in the future, they will all admit it, and only ask me to get married as soon as possible and give them a grandchild! So if I go back and tell them that I am going to marry the eldest girl of the Wu'an Hou Mansion as my wife, they will only be ecstatic, and I am afraid that they will be even more anxious than me to marry the eldest girl of Zhou as soon as possible!" Regarding this, Hou Ye and Old Hou Ye, don't worry, in addition, I married Miss Zhou back to the house, so that she can follow me to enjoy happiness, not let her be the housekeeper of my country's mansion, everything in the family has a housekeeper to deal with, Miss Zhou only needs to move her mouth, just give a command, take a step back and say, even if she can't do the things at home, isn't there still me! And Miss Zhou is so smart, thinking about these simple chores is not any problem for her at all!"
After Guo Hongye finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Mao and Zhou Xiao expectantly again, and it was not until this time that the father and son of the Zhou family finally believed that Guo Hongye's heart to marry Zhou Huaiyu was true!
After confirming this matter, Zhou Mao and the Zhou family immediately laughed, Zhou Mao looked at Guo Hongye and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince can ask to marry my eldest granddaughter, it is really a blessing that she has cultivated for eight lifetimes, then this matter is so decided, His Royal Highness the Prince can send someone to propose marriage when he goes back, and then we will discuss the details!"
Guo Hongye heard Zhou Mao agree, and then looked at Zhou Xiao, Zhou Xiao also smiled and nodded, he finally smiled, and then bowed the third and last bow today, and this time, Zhou Mao and Zhou Xiao did not stop him immediately, but waited for him to get up by himself, and then stepped forward to help him.
Guo Hongye didn't like this, because it meant that Zhou Xiao and Zhou Mao accepted him as their son-in-law and grandson-in-law, so they accepted his salute.
