"Discuss one thing with the old lady...... "Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma came in and talked straight to the point about Mrs. Wu's proposal to the eldest sister. It seems that they are also very anxious about this matter, and they take it quite seriously.

Mrs. Liu is quite calm, but Liu Da/Grandma is aggrieved as she speaks.

"It's just a concubine's maiden brother, if we marry our eldest sister, our Liu family will have no face in the future. …… I asked what kind of good family the Guo family is, I don't know yet, it's the eldest / master who heard people outside. …… It was a dilapidated household, and the ancestral property was all spent, so he gave his daughter to Guan Shilang, and got Guan Shilang's care, so he trembled. Although there are some acres of land and land, they are all given by Guan Shilang, and the family is counting on the Guan family to eat......"

The meaning of Mrs. Liu's words and Liuda/Grandma is that this family business can't be done, but the two don't say it clearly.

"That's it, please show the old lady." Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma both said to Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu did not answer immediately, but asked Liu Da/Grandma where Liu Yujiang was.

“…… The eldest has just come back, and he already knows about it. I was going to ask the old lady to say goodbye, but it was such a big thing, and I had to tell the old lady as soon as possible. So go talk to the eldest master first, and come back later. Liu Da/Grandma said busily.

Mrs. Liu said, "What did you tell Mrs. Wu?" ”

"Back to the old lady, I didn't tell Mrs. Wu to die." Liu Da/Grandma said that when she knew who Mrs. Wu was talking about Guo Sanye, her original joy turned into cold ashes. Liu Da/Grandma's original intention was naturally to refuse immediately. However, she can't ignore Mrs. Wu's identity and the Guan Shilang behind Mrs. Wu. Liu Da/Grandma is afraid that if she refuses immediately, she will offend Lord Wu and Lord Shilang Guan in the Ministry of War, and only say that the matter is important. To think about it, you have to consult the elders in the family. Mrs. Wu didn't force Liu Da/Grandma to agree immediately. "I said I would listen to the letter in two days."

If you come to propose marriage so solemnly, whether you refuse it immediately now, or delay it for two days, I'm afraid you will offend Guan Shilang. This is where Mrs. Liu's wife and Liuda/grandmother are troubled, and it is also the root cause of why Liu Yujiang is so angry.

"Then wait for the two of them to come back." Mrs. Liu thought about it and said.

Everyone was talking about it, and although the eldest sister had stopped crying on the side, she buried her head deeply, as if she was full of guilt. The eldest sister is an honest child, and her biological father says that about her like that. The eldest sister is afraid that it will be difficult to think about it for a while.

Liu Ruoshan pulled the eldest sister aside and slowly enlightened her with Liu Ruoshan.

"How dare you come to the door to propose, it's too much to look at our family." While talking to several daughters-in-law, Mrs. Liu suddenly remembered and asked the eldest sister, "What kind of Guo Sanye have you seen?" What were the signs before? ”

The eldest sister is very honest, and Mrs. Liu answered truthfully when she asked. It turned out that the eldest sister had signed a contract with the girl of the Guan family and went to the Guan Mansion several times. Once, in the garden of Guanfu, I met this Guo Sanye.

"I avoided it at the time." The eldest sister said. Now that I think of it, the eldest sister still feels a little ashamed.

The girl of the Guan family is also a little cowardly, and the second lady Guo is very powerful in the Guan family, so Guo Sanye uses the excuse to talk to the girl of the Guan family. But she looked directly at the eldest sister again and again, although the Guan family girl felt that it was inappropriate, she dared to be angry and did not dare to speak. That Guo Sanye also accosted the eldest sister.

"I didn't pay attention to him...... eldest sister whispered. Later, there were two more times, which was also when she was with the Guan family girl. I noticed that someone seemed to be peeking. And then there was the last time I went to the Guan family, the second Mrs. Guo specially asked the Guan family girl to bring the eldest sister to meet her, and she was very affectionate to the eldest sister.

Old Lady Liu sighed.

There are several granddaughters and great-granddaughters in the house. Mrs. Liu originally loved Liu Ruoyuan the most, but she was normal to Liu Ruojuan and her eldest sister, and she could even be said to ignore them. This is related to the temperament of several people, Mrs. Liu likes smart and clever girls, and Liu Ruojuan and the eldest sister are not only mediocre in appearance and talent, but also a little introverted and dull among the sisters. Mrs. Liu didn't like to see the two of them the most, mainly because of this.

It's just that at this time, although Mrs. Liu secretly complained that the eldest sister was stupid and had no eyes, she did not open her mouth to reprimand the eldest sister.

Soon, Master Liu and Liu Yujiang returned.

Master Liu was very angry, obviously Liu Yujiang had already told him everything.

"The shaft is too deceitful!" One is a soldier and the other is a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and the Liu family has been noble for generations, and Master Liu really didn't take Guan Shilang in his eyes.

Master Liu's words also set the tone of the whole thing. For such a major event, Mrs. Liu also has to listen to Master Liu. Master Liu is like this, Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu/Grandma, Liu Yujiang and others seem to have confidence, and their faces are not so gloomy.

"I've already asked someone to call the second and third brothers back......," said Master Liu again, this is not just the eldest sister's family affair, this is a major event of the Liu family. Because, if you refuse this family business, you will definitely sweep away Guan Shilang's face, and from then on there will be one more enemy in the court, although Master Liu has made a decision, he still has to discuss it with his brothers.

Mrs. Liu nodded, agreeing with Mr. Liu's decision.

When the second master Liu and the third master Liu came back, the old man Liu talked about the matter slightly, and the two brothers naturally nodded.

"Then what should I say when Mrs. Wu comes here in two days?" Liuda/Grandma asked. Although it was to refuse, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma both thought that it would be better to be tactful.

“…… Push it on me. Mrs. Liu said.

This matter was settled.

Two days later, Mrs. Wu really came to the door, and Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma personally took people to Mrs. Liu's room to talk. Mrs. Wu naturally came to listen to the reply, and Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma had a very good attitude, but when it came to family affairs, they both shook their heads.

“…… There is an old lady at home, but all major things have to be shown by the old lady. The old lady does not approve of this family business, the eldest sister still has a few aunts, the young and the old are orderly, and she has to wait for her aunts to decide on the family affairs......"

This is clearly a rejection. If Mrs. Wu knew each other, it would be time to go down the stairs at this time.

However, Mrs. Wu sneered.

“…… In this way, if the eldest sister's aunt drags on her home for three or five years, or even doesn't go out for the rest of her life, then the eldest sister won't talk about kissing for the rest of her life? Mrs. Wu sneered and said, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and there will be no such shop in this village after this village." I'm here for your ......."

……

Liu Ruoji was in Mrs. Liu's house, and a little girl reported the news from Mrs. Liu's side.

“…… has already sent Mrs. Wu out. Mrs. Wu's face was very ugly, and she heard that she was talking. I turned my face. Not only that, but before Mrs. Wu left, she also left a message, saying that she was going back to report to Mrs. Guo that she would know that she was waiting to see what kind of family the eldest sister could marry, and there was a threat in her tone.

Mrs. Liu was speechless.

"There should be such a man." had already expected that if the family affair was rejected, Mrs. Wu would definitely not have a good face. But it was still too unexpected to turn around on the spot and say something like that.

Everyone went to Mrs. Liu's house, and Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma were all angry and yellow-faced. is talking about how Mrs. Wu has no decency.

“…… What kind of decent person can a lady in the main room go to a concubine's room. It's worse than a village woman. ”

Looking at her face, she didn't know what to do. Instead, he turned his face on us, which is really unreasonable. ”

"It's a villain, no doubt. She didn't know how she would add fuel and vinegar to her trip. Let's settle with the Guan family. ”

Master Liu and Master Liu are one in the Ministry of Rites and the other in the Hanlin Academy, and their official positions are not lower than Guan Shilang. Guan Shilang is in the military department, and when it comes to this matter, it has the greatest impact on Master Liu San and Liu Yujiang.

Mrs. Liusan's face was a little unsightly. Liu Yujiang is just looking for an idle errand and does not seek to be motivated, but when Master Liu San's career is going up, he is worried that Guan Shilang will be a hindrance.

Coming out of Mrs. Liu's house, Mrs. Liu San came back with Mrs. Liu, and told Mrs. Liu about her worries.

"There's no need to worry too much." Mrs. Liu Er comforted Mrs. Liu, "If you talk about the foundation, the Guan family is still a lot worse than our family." Now, the master and his brothers are in the court, maintaining each other, and Guan Shilang has many scruples even if he wants to. ”

Mrs. Liu was telling the truth, but Mrs. Liu couldn't help but worry.

"The county official is better than the current management...... Mrs. Liu San frowned, "Second sister-in-law, the little prince worshiped the second master as a gentleman, and the prince Yongjing said a word in the military department, I am afraid that no one dares not to listen, if there is a prince's care......"

Mrs. Liu's meaning is that she wants to ask Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu to ask Prince Yongjing to protect Third Master Liu through Rong Chenghan.

That night, Master Liu San specially talked to Master Liu Er for a long time, and said the same thing.

"What did Daddy say?" Liu Ruoxi asked Second Master Liu.

"I said I'll think about it first." Second Master Liu said, looking a little troubled, "Then the waiter is also ......."

Second Master Liu doesn't like the routines of officialdom to trust relationships and follow favors. He thought about what Guan Shilang had done, thinking that because of such a trivial matter, Guan Shilang would not make a big move to be unfavorable to Master Liu San, so he did not immediately agree to Master Liu San's request.

"Dad, I think you should agree to this matter." Liu Ruoxi thought about it for a while, and said, "Looking at what Guan Shilang did, he is not a gentleman. The third uncle is also under the command of the military department, and this worry is not groundless. ”

Master Liu San naturally wants his own ability to be an official. But it's one thing to be an official with your own ability, and the three brothers who are close in law can't let Master Liu San be calculated in vain.

"Doing something about it is the right thing to do." Liu Ruoxi said, "Doesn't my father often say that people have no long-term worries, but they must have near-term worries." ”

"Yes, the third master has not been easy these years. If it was really because of such an incident, he was plotted, and he was indeed wronged. Mrs. Liu said.

Second Master Liu thought for a while, and also felt that what Second Mrs. Liu said and Liu Ruoxi made sense.

"It's just that I'm not used to begging for people......," said the second master Liu.

"Dad doesn't want to ask for people, so don't ask for people. It's just that now my father doesn't treat Third Brother Rong as an outsider, so I told him about it. Liu Ruoxi smiled. If Rong Chenghan listened to the words of Second Master Liu, he would definitely understand that as long as he found an opportunity to tell Prince Yongjing, Prince Yongjing would have a bottom in his heart, and if something really happened in the future, he would naturally take care of it.

"It's fine." Second Master Liu nodded.

The next day, Second Master Liu found Third Master Liu and said that he would think of handing over the words. Master Liu San was naturally very moved, and Mrs. Liu San specially came over to thank Mrs. Liu.

“…… knows the temperament of the second master, and never dares to bother him with ordinary things. There is no way to do this, and the second master can agree to come down, because he takes his brother very seriously. When our lord went back, he was moved to cry, and said that the second brother treated him well. ”

"If you can understand his character, I will be relieved. He is that kind of Geng Jie, who cares about his brother's heart, and he is more stupid in doing things. The third master can understand him, which is also a deep brotherhood. Mrs. Liu said.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu San talked more and more densely, and from then on, the room between Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu San was much thicker than before.

The things that Second Master Liu promised to come down naturally had to be done.

When Rong Chenghan came over, Second Master Liu told Rong Chenghan about it. Second Master Liu did not ask Rong Chenghan to beg Prince Yongjing to take care of Third Master Liu, but only told the Guan family to ask for relatives and turn their faces.

“…… If there are hundreds of women in a family, it is natural to choose the right one, and wherever there is a door, it must be answered. It's just that Guan Shilang's side, I'm afraid it's in the way, so I don't think so. A good thing becomes a bad thing. …… I didn't have any dealings with each other before, and from now on, I am afraid that I will hold a grudge in my heart. ”

Second Master Liu told him about this matter, and just as Liu Ruoxi walked in, he talked about Master Liu's errand.

“…… It is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, and the third uncle and three aunts are worried that Guan Shilang will find trouble with the third uncle. My mother and I are also worried. Not only the third uncle, but also afraid that he will be unfavorable to his father and uncle. That Guan Daren, it seems that the official reputation is not very good. ”

"The promotion and selection of her third uncle naturally depends on his own ability, and he does not dare to have any drawbacks. It's just that if you are calculated because of this, you will be wronged. Second Master Liu continued, "I've already said hello to my friends." Cheng Han, look, your father is there......"

Second Master Liu really didn't treat Rong Chenghan as an outsider, and told him the truth. (To be continued......)
