Chapter 172: Refusal
"In the capital, there are not many people who are the same age as our big girl and have a family background that is worthy of anything. Master, you see, the third master of Yongjing Palace, he has not yet decided to marry. Mrs. Liu suppressed the anger in her heart, her face was rare gentleness, and she discussed with Master Liu softly.
Hearing that Mrs. Liu suddenly mentioned Rong Chenghan, Master Liu couldn't help but open his eyes and look at Mrs. Liu. Only then did he notice that today's Mrs. Liu seemed to have been dressed up on purpose, with a pink face, delicate curved eyebrows, and rouge, and she seemed to be wearing the shirt and skirt she wore when she was young ten years ago. At this moment, Mrs. Liu was full of smiles, and she had a little bit of tenderness and charm when the relationship between the two was the closest.
Mr. Liu is right, Mrs. Liu has deliberately dressed up today, hoping to arouse some old feelings of Mr. Liu. However, Mrs. Liu's thoughts were destined to come to naught. Mr. Liu looked at Mrs. Liu's smile and gentleness, and only felt a chill in his back.
After all these years, Master Liu really knows too well what is hidden behind Mrs. Liu's gentleness and virtuousness. What's more, no matter how you dress up, Mrs. Liu's youth has long since passed, and the traces of time on her face can no longer be hidden.
Such a Mrs. Liu made Master Liu very disgusted.
Moreover, Mrs. Liu actually fell in love with Rong Chenghan, which was something that Master Liu did not expect. Master Liu thought of the scene when Mrs. Liu took Liu Ruoyuan down from the water pavilion and talked to Rong Chenghan just after the banquet was dismissed.
I see.
"So what?" Master Liu said lightly.
"Don't you want Master Hou to be our son-in-law?!" Mrs. Liu said, "...... Family background, talent, character, future, which one is not the best choice. If you can make a relationship with our big girl, then the old man will be in-law with King Yongjing in the future, and there will be such a family and such an uncle......"
As Mrs. Liu spoke, she kept looking at Master Liu's expression to see if Master Liu was moved by what she said.
Master Liu is such an age and experience. It's been possible to be happy for a long time. From Mrs. Liu's point of view, it can only be seen that Master Liu is sinking / groaning, as if he is seriously thinking about what she said.
Master Liu is indeed thinking seriously. He didn't listen carefully to what Mrs. Liu said. Married to the Yongjing Palace, my uncle is still Rong Chenghan, the benefits of such a family business, there is no need for Mrs. Liu to say, Lord Liu knows better than anyone.
Not only does Master Liu know that, but there is no decent family in this capital that can not be clear. It's just that you have to be able to climb this family business.
"Difficult." Wait for Mrs. Liu to finish. Master Liu spit out a word. They don't have a deep friendship with the Yongjing Palace.
"If it had been before, I wouldn't have dared to think about it. It's just that now, isn't it different? Hou Ye is now a student of the second master of our family, and the old prince personally came to ask for it. Seeing that he came to the door every now and then, he spoke respectfully to the second master and the master, and he must not think that the girl in our family would insult him. In a noble family like ours, what kind of family a girl marries into has to be a few points higher. As I see it. This is a rare good marriage, the right door, talented and beautiful! ”
Because of the relationship between the second master of Liu, the relationship between the Liu family and the Yongjing Mansion is naturally much closer. When it comes to being a parent, it seems like it's okay.
When Mrs. Liu said this, Master Liu was a little moved. After all, a young talent like Rong Chenghan. Who looks at it can not be rare.
However, Master Liu thought of another thing, and still shook his head secretly.
Seeing that Master Liu still didn't speak. Mrs. Liu had already figured out Master Liu's thoughts. Mrs. Liu turned around pretendedly, took the tea cups from the next few cases, and took a slow sip of the tea that had been cooled, and then turned around again and looked at her nails.
"I'm afraid the master doesn't know yet, our three girls already have families." Mrs. Liu said casually.
"What?" Master Liu looked at Mrs. Liu, "Which family is it, when did it happen, why haven't I heard about it?" ”
"Both sides are still young, so they keep it a secret. In fact, there have been deeds for a long time, isn't it the eldest son of Liu Yi and Liu's family? This childhood sweetheart, the second wife has already discussed it with Mrs. Liu in private, just waiting for the eldest son of the Liu family to be one year older, it is estimated that he will be able to make up his mind for the Chinese New Year this year. ”
Mrs. Liu looked at Master Liu's expression, and when she saw that Master Liu seemed to believe it, she was overjoyed.
"Look, sir, the three girls are younger than our eldest girls, and this family affair has already been settled. Isn't the master in a hurry? Mrs. Liu then turned the topic to Liu Ruoyuan's family affairs, "Master Hou's family business, if you think about it, is it more appropriate." ”
"The so-called parents' orders, the words of the matchmaker. Looking at the palace's side and the Hou Ye's own respect for our second master, as long as the second master opens his mouth, there is a chance that eight out of ten will be able to accept it. A father-in-law like a master, but who can't do it if he insults him? ”
Mrs. Liu's meaning was to ask Master Liu to find Second Master Liu, and let Second Master Liu propose marriage to Rong Chenghan, and it was naturally Liu Ruoyuan who mentioned it.
Master Liu stroked his beard and was speechless for a long time. However, Mrs. Liu watched from the side, but she was overjoyed, and Master Liu was moved, and he thought about this matter very seriously. Mrs. Liu decided to strike while the iron was hot and push Mr. Liu again.
"I know the master's concerns, it's just that this plan is up to people, and it's up to heaven to make things happen. If you don't mention it, it will never work out. If the master mentions it, it is likely to be successful. Isn't it worth giving it a try, sir? As long as the second master is willing to contribute, he is not afraid that things will not work. …… Even if it doesn't work, we have nothing to lose. "At that time, as long as the second master says that he meant, there will be no loss of face for Lord Liu, and there will be no bad impact on Liu Ruoyuan.
"Master, this matter must be done as soon as possible, but we can't let other people take the lead!"
Mrs. Liu talked in front of Mr. Liu for a long time, I have to say that Mrs. Liu's eloquence is excellent, and the husband and wife for so many years, although they are inseparable, but Mrs. Liu's understanding of Mr. Liu, every sentence can be said to Mr. Liu's heart.
When she saw that the heat was almost over, Mrs. Liu asked Liu Ruoyuan to come over again and asked Liu Ruoyuan to kowtow to Master Liu.
“…… Our Yuan'er,...... It's a very filial child, that ......"
……
Coming out of Mrs. Liu's courtyard, Master Liu hesitated for a moment and went to the front study. When he sat down in the study, after thinking about it, he sent his personal servant to invite Second Master Liu.
Liu Ruoxi and Liu Ruoshan played in the garden for a long time, and then came to Mrs. Liu's side, and were talking to the second master Liu and Mrs. Liu, when they saw a little girl coming, saying that the eldest master invited the second master to the study to talk.
Second Master Liu got up from the couch, and Master Liu must have something to do when he looked for him.
"I'll come when I go." Second Master Liu told his wife and daughter a few words, and followed the little maid forward.
"I don't know what the uncle is looking for his father?" Liu Ruoxi said to Mrs. Liu, "I just came out of the garden and heard the little girl say that the uncle went to the yard of the eldest lady just now. said that the eldest lady invited the uncle to go. ”
"Are they reconciled?" Mrs. Liu was puzzled.
"Hehe, I'm afraid that something is wrong, so I have to ask the uncle to come forward." Liu Ruoxi smiled.
It was such a coincidence that Master Liu came out of Mrs. Liu and asked Second Master Liu to talk.
"When your father returns, we'll know what's going on." Mrs. Liu pondered, and seemed to understand that there must be a connection between these two things.
Second Master Liu didn't stay in the front study for a long time, and walked back after about two teas. Second Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi saw that Second Master Liu's face was not good-looking when he entered the door.
"What's the matter, the eldest master went over to the old man and said something?" Mrs. Liu Er was busy, so she asked someone to bring tea, so that Liu Er Master drank it and moistened his throat.
Second Master Liu sat down and drank tea, but instead of answering Second Mrs. Liu's question, he glanced at Liu Ruoxi. Liu Ruoxi saw it, and knew that Second Master Liu had something to say, and wanted to avoid it herself. Liu Ruoxi thought about it, then got up and withdrew, but at the same time, she gave her eyes to the little girl who was waiting outside the door.
Seeing Liu Ruoxi leave, Second Master Liu sighed.
"Big brother is looking for me and wants me to be a matchmaker for the big girl......"
"Let you be a matchmaker for the big girl, which one are you talking about?" Mrs. Liu immediately asked, and the woman's sensitive intuition made her immediately have a bad premonition.
And what Second Master Liu said next just confirmed Second Mrs. Liu's hunch.
"Who else has taken a fancy to Cheng Han's child."
Mrs. Liu was stunned and didn't say anything for a long time.
"That'...... Sir, did you agree? ”
Second Master Liu sighed.
"Sir, did you really agree?" Mrs. Liu was a little anxious.
"Nope." Second Master Liu shook his head.
Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, and her face was smiling again. However, after thinking about it, Mrs. Liu became a little worried.
"What did the lord say, is the eldest lord angry with the lord?"
"That's what hard to say." Second Master Liu said that he was really embarrassed, although he was the same as Second Mrs. Liu, he had some ideas in his heart, but he had not yet set the shape. "If we make a decision here, I can tell my eldest brother. Big brother can't fight with me. It's just that we haven't decided on the ...... yet, so I told my eldest brother that it is rumored that there is already a candidate on the palace side. If there's anything going on over there, ...... I don't plan to be the matchmaker. …… It's okay to do something else, we can let it go, but this matter is related to the second half of Ji'er's life, and this opportunity can't be given to others! ”
When Second Master Liu said this, his expression became more and more determined. (To be continued......)
