Chapter 129
Liu Xianglian ran to Yuehai without saying a word, because she felt that she loved other people's young lady, but her family's appearance and talent did not match. That's why he desperately took Wei Ruolan's letter of recommendation to worship under the command of the governor of Yuehai, preparing to earn a future with military merits.
Now he has been honing in Guangdong for many years, and he has cooperated with the Guangdong Sea Army to exterminate the nest of Haikou bandits, and his military merits are naturally there, and of course he has his family wealth.
Everything was ready, but when he wanted to come to the door to propose, he made a difficulty-
There is no other reason, just because Chen You and the two families don't know who he is at all! He can't rashly run in front of others and say, "I went to join the army for the sake of your three girls, and now that I have returned in brocade clothes, I still hope that the three girls will be married to me?" ”
This is also too abrupt.
But if you think of a way to figure it out slowly, Liu Xianglian is afraid that it will be too late. After all, the news that the You Chen family intends to choose a son-in-law for Third Sister You among the children of the family in Beijing has already spread all over Chang'an. Liu Xianglian is only afraid that if she is a little late, the person she admires in her heart will be famous.
After thinking about it, Liu Xianglian finally decided to get straight to the point. He also prepared a generous gift, and first went to the house of the Governor of Yuehai, Wei, to visit Lord Shangfeng. Later, he asked Governor Wei to protect his media
Wei Jun, the governor of Yuehai, was able to lead a large army to return to the dynasty this time, and the scenery and celebration all depended on Liu Xianglian's planning and planning. In the face of love's request, Wei Jun is naturally happy to be an adult.
A few days later, Mrs. Wei really came to the door to the You family to propose marriage, Chen had already been persuaded by the third sister You's incorruptible tongue, although Mrs. Wei's Liu Xianglian was the hottest son-in-law candidate in Beijing at the moment, but Chen still did not respond on the spot on the grounds that he had to discuss with his family.
In order to select a suitable husband with all four corners for the third sister, the You Chen family almost evaluated the outstanding children of the eunuchs in Beijing, which Mrs. Wei naturally knew. So she didn't care. The two gossiped again, and Mrs. Wei said goodbye.
Now that Mrs. Wei went, Chen hurriedly returned to the inner house, and mentioned to everyone that Mrs. Wei was protecting Liu Xianglian.
Since the second sister married Liang Fengrao, Mrs. You has always wanted to marry the third sister to the poetry and book family. In this way, the You family can not only be in-laws with the military generals who are in charge of the army, but also be in-laws with the noble poets, and they will naturally have a better foothold in the court in the future.
How could the third sister not give her strength, picking and choosing, regardless of whether it was Hanlin Qinggui or Zhongding's family, she always refused to agree lightly. The Chen family doted on the third sister very much, and when they saw that she didn't like it, they no longer forced it, and let the third sister make it sexual. The mother and son of the You family who watched it became more and more depressed, but they were helpless.
Now it is easy to come to such a Liu Xianglian, with an innocent family background, a simple population, no in-laws and sisters-in-law, and no sister-in-law to check and balance. It is said that when he was in the sea colony's nest, he took advantage of his position to loot a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and even suffered a lot of dividends in maritime affairs. The richness of the family. Besides, he is also knowledgeable and interesting, he is not a blindly old-fashioned and sour person, he is better at playing the flute and playing the kite, and making cameo appearances in Fengyue dramas, and he is not a reckless and rude person.
All in all, although it is not a meritorious old family with strong poetic heritage, it can be regarded as a promising upstart in the imperial court. If you can marry such a family, it is more in line with the Chen family's criteria when choosing a son-in-law.
Mrs. You discussed it with Chen, and they all felt that this person was not bad. When You Ziyu's family came in the evening, he discussed it with him. You Ziyu is also full of good words. As for when he returned to the Chen family with Third Sister You the next day, the Chen family also felt good when they learned about Liu Xianglian's family background and appearance-at least echoed the words of the third sister's previous crooked family children. Only then did he ask what Third Sister You meant.
Third Sister You has read the original book. Naturally, I also know the character of Liu Xiang, Lianmian and Su Liu in the original book. Third Sister You didn't think that Liu Xianglian was a lover. What's more, she and Liu Xianglian have only met twice. I haven't seen each other again for so many years, and God knows what Liu Xianglian will become.
She wasn't interested in marrying a stranger.
Third Sister You thought about this and expressed her unwillingness categorically.
The elders of You Chen and the two parents all think that Third Sister You is picking a bone in an egg - she has no intention of marrying at all. However, after all, Third Sister You is different from other girls, she has a house, land, trading and making a living, and she also has a wide range of contacts and connections, and she can also help her uncle and cousin in court affairs. Even if you live alone in the future, you can still get the care of your family.
Therefore, even if they knew that Third Sister You was deliberately prevaricating, everyone in the Chen family was still willing to connive. As the third sister said earlier, the girl is still young, which will make the little child refuse to marry. Maybe it will be two years later.
However, Third Sister You has no intention of getting married, but Liu Xianglian has plans to marry a wife.
Seeing that Mrs. Wei's visit to the door was rejected by the You family, Liu Xianglian couldn't wait for that long. He simply visited Chen Qi directly on the day of his retirement, and put forward the intention of marrying straight to the point. and how he admired the noble girl, how he consciously joined the army because he couldn't match it, and how he risked his life to fight for merit and career, and how he carefully planned to buy family property. only said that he was here today for the third sister. I implore Uncle Chen to marry his niece. If the three girls are willing to marry, he will definitely love the three girls like a treasure in this life. If the third girl refuses to marry, he will not look for someone else......
"She refused to marry for a year, and I waited for her for a year; refused to marry for three years, so I waited for her for three years; If she refuses to marry me, but marries someone else, I will never marry for the rest of my life. If she's unlucky...... I'm going to become a monk and ......."
Liu Xianglian's words were so loud that even Uncle Chen was shocked. I really didn't expect Liu Xianglian to be so persistent at such a young age.
Uncle Chen reacted and felt that something was wrong. After all, in the mouth of the third sister, she and Liu Xianglian have only met twice. It's not a childhood sweetheart who grew up in a small place, everyone has their own character and habits, how can Liu Xianglian do such things for the sake of the third sister?
Uncle Chen's conspiracy theories are not to blame for this. It is really Liu Xianglian's actions that are really shocking and incomprehensible.
However, Liu Xianglian faced Uncle Chen's questioning, but she couldn't say anything. I only feel that I and Third Sister You are destined to be fate, even if I only see two sides, I can also promise life and death for life.
Liu Xianglian thought about this, and said with a smile: "In this world, there is already a saying that the white head is as new as new, and it is the same as before. I admire the three girls, probably the same. ”
After that, Liu Xianglian said with a straight face: "Lord Chen, please rest assured. A pair of three girls are sincere, and I am willing to do my best to hire them with all my net worth. If one day, I lose three girls. So he told me to go out of the house, and all I had belonged to the three girls. ”
After that, he took out a gift slip from his arms and handed it to Chen Qi. The dazzling records on it are all the net worth that Liu Xianglian has earned by working hard in Guangdong over the years. Because of his young age, the accumulation of family wealth on the bright side is naturally not comparable to the profound noble old family. However, everyone in the world knows that being a soldier and fighting a war is the most windfall, and Liu Xianglian has been in the Haikou's lair for many years, and the treasures she has accumulated in secret are naturally shocking.
Chen Qi held this gift list in his hand, and was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh at Liu Xianglian's mental methods. Because he smiled again: "You believe me so much? Aren't you afraid that this marriage will not be successful, and I will announce this matter again? ”
Liu Xianglian smiled and said, "Xia Guan was originally a person who lived day by day and never calculated the future. Now for the sake of the three girls, they bothered to plan. If the three girls are willing to marry me, these will naturally belong to the three girls. If the third girl refuses to marry, some foreign things will be of little use to me. ”
It was only at this time that Chen Qi listened to Liu Xianglian's words and was a little moved. He was silent for a long time before he said: "The three girls in our family have always been arbitrary and willful. If it is something she is unwilling to do, no matter how persecuted by others, it will be useless. If you really like her, you should think of how she agrees with you. ”
Liu Xianglian frowned when she heard this, and said with a bitter face: "But the third girl has always only been in the inner house, even for the sake of the third girl's reputation, how can the younger generation contact the third girl at will?" ”
When Chen Jue heard that Liu Xianglian heard his approval, he immediately changed his words and called himself a junior, and he secretly laughed at Liu Xianglian's face as she climbed up the pole. However, he admired Liu Xianglian's happy and sleek temperament, and immediately mentioned: "For the sake of the reputation of your daughter's family, you are unwilling to get close at will." This is your benefit. But it's man-made. As long as you are willing to think about it, there is a way. ”
When Liu Xianglian heard this, she really thought about it for a long time. Then he looked at Chen Qi with a blank face.
Chen Jue said suddenly: "I heard that you used to like to string Fengyue operas? ”
Liu Xianglian didn't know why Chen Qi mentioned this matter, so she had to bite the bullet and say: "There is indeed such a thing." But this is all just a wanton act when he was young. If you don't like it, I'll change it in the future. ”
Chen Jue smiled and said, "It's okay. There are many people in the world who have favorites. Some people like lonely books, some people like jewelry, gold and jade, and some people like to eat wine and sing operas. Not only do you like to make guest appearances in Fengyue operas, but the three girls in our family also like to write excerpts of songs and operas. If only this marriage could be made in the future. This can be regarded as the way you and your husband and wife get along. ”
Hearing this, Liu Xianglian nodded ignorantly.
I only heard Chen Qi continue: "But what you just said is very true. Historically, people in the world have blamed their daughter's family for seeking perfection, and opening and closing their mouths is either a woman's virtue or a woman's training, which is very annoying. The third sister of our family doesn't theorize about these. Now I look at you boy, but you are also a deviant. Maybe the two of you get along. Even so, I would like to be an adult. Now there is an opportunity for you to ask the three girls of our family what they think in person. I just don't know if you can let go of the young general's face and cooperate with me. ”
Liu Xianglian was overjoyed when she heard this, and agreed with her mouth: "Yes, the juniors are naturally willing." Please also ask Shibo to make it clear. ”
Okay, I took another step up the pole.
Chen Qi glanced at Liu Xianglian with a smile, and slowly said the plan in his heart. By the way, I also want to test Liu Xianglian once!
