"Is my nephew still satisfied with my Liu family's cook?" At the time of the meal, Master Liu was much closer.

Du Shaonan gave a thumbs up and said sincerely: "No less than the cook of my Du family." ”

Generally, the host should be satisfied when he is praised by the guests, but Master Liu wants to get to the bottom of the matter: "What kind of dish does the virtuous nephew think is the best on this table?" ”

What's the best dish? There won't be a dish on this table made by Liu Yiyi herself, and Master Liu will use it to recruit his son-in-law, right? Du Shaonan guessed the reason and didn't feel funny, he didn't care if Master Liu didn't like him as a son-in-law, he came to Liu's house to ask for marriage just to awkward some people, and if he didn't like it, he would find another one.

"Little nephew thinks ......" Du Shaonan did think about it seriously, but what he wanted to choose was the one that best suited his appetite, instead of guessing which dish would come from Liu Yiyi's hands to please the Liu family, but there are really a lot of chefs in the Liu family, and at least six cooks are used in a table of dishes, and eating in the Liu family is definitely enjoyable.

The dumplings stuffed with tofu taste fresh, and he must let his restaurant learn to make them; The crucian carp soup is also very delicious, and there must be a special seasoning added to it; But what pleases his own appetite the most has to be ......" The little nephew thought that the last hawthorn cake was the best, which played the finishing touch. ”

Du Shaonan was prepared when he said this, if the hawthorn cake was made by another cook of the Liu family, Master Liu thought that the cook had stolen the limelight of his daughter and planned to be angry, and the Du family's restaurant would never mind digging the corner of the Liu family.

Master Liu was stunned, and then laughed: "Sure enough...... Sure enough......"

Sure what? Did he really guess right?

"Virtuous nephew, I invite you to come to the Liu family today, first, I want to ask you face-to-face, that day your subordinates said that you intend to marry the daughter of my Liu family, isn't it a joke?" Master Liu's expression became solemn.

"Uncle, who would joke about life's events?" Du Shaonan replied seriously.

"Well, I invite you to come to Liu's house today, the second thing is that I hope you can talk to the little girl face-to-face, although the marriage is decided by the parents, but it is also important for the children to look at each other well, isn't it ......" Master Liu didn't know how to explain, it was unreasonable for unmarried men and women to meet in private, but who made him, a father, attach importance to his daughter?

Du Shaonan is not surprised, Master Liu has always loved his daughter so unprincipledly, he can let his daughter enter Beijing alone with Yue Linfeng, so what is it to let his daughter and future son-in-law meet alone now?

"Uncle ordered, the little nephew should obey his orders." Du Shaonan promised to agree, and he had to state that he didn't deliberately take advantage of other people's daughters.

"Lotus, take Young Master Du to the back of the greenhouse." As soon as Master Liu gave the order, a pretty-looking girl came in and asked Du Shaonan to go with her.

Du Shaonan gave another salute to Master Liu before going out with Yahuan.

Master Liu is very satisfied with the etiquette of this young man, he is really the son of a well-educated family, to be honest, if his daughter still likes to fight like she did half a year ago, she doesn't have a good look, except for her beautiful face, she looks like a wild boy in other aspects, he doesn't want her to marry into a high gate, it is not suitable for her.

And now Liu Yiyi is still not qualified to become a standard lady, but at least she is willing to learn, and she has made progress in learning, and more importantly, after she got into trouble, Du Shaonan was the first person who came to help her without disliking her.

"Miss, Young Master Du guessed correctly that you made the silk hawthorn cake, Master invites you to see Young Master Du in the garden greenhouse." Osmanthus embroidered the floor to inform.

Liu Yiyi was ready and waiting, but she was also surprised that Du Shaonan guessed the dishes she cooked, plus her today's lunch with a total of six chefs, a one-sixth chance, he was right? Or did Master Liu give a hint?

It was she who offered to see Du Shaonan, so no matter whether he answered correctly or not, and how he answered correctly, Liu Yiyi still went to the garden conservatory, and when she saw Du Shaonan, she saluted him two meters away: "Young Master Du." ”

"Miss Liu." Du Shaonan stood in place and returned the salute.

Then, the scene cooled down, and the young lady who met this time was separated by two meters from each other, and their eyes did not meet, let alone meet and hug each other on the platform like in the play.

Du Quanzhong They understand that their young master has always been not close to people, so the young master does not move or speak, and they also dress up as wood carving clay sculptures and stand up straight, and the lotus osmanthus here looks at each other, isn't the young lady looking for someone to come? Why are you all standing so stupidly together? However, if they are allowed to learn from Ying'er and leave first, it is not what Yahuan should do, so they should also learn wood carving clay sculptures.

After standing still for about a few minutes, Liu Yiyi first felt tired, and then said that she was going to invite someone to come, was it just to invite someone to stand stupidly?

"Young Master Du, please take a seat, lotus, serve tea." Liu Yiyi said as the owner.

"Miss Liu is polite." Du Shaonan sat down unceremoniously, he was already tired of standing.

From this person's behavior, it can be inferred that he has no infatuation with her at all, and he can't even talk about sympathy, so why did he propose marriage to her family? Liu Yiyi couldn't guess and was embarrassed to ask directly, she said first: "I heard that Young Master Du likes that hawthorn cake, why?" ”

Why? Why did he tell her? Du Shaonan wanted to answer like this, but the people of the Du family and the Liu family were all present, and it was inconvenient for them to witness that he didn't like Liu Yiyi, "That's the case, my grandmother is old and has a weak stomach, and the dishes she eats are used to putting vinegar, and snacks like hawthorn cake are indispensable after meals, but for me who is healthy in the stomach of young people, I don't like it very much when I always eat sour......"

The hawthorn cake made by Liu Yiyi is to cut the hawthorn cake into strips, dip it in starch and hang it evenly with egg batter, fry it in an oil pan, then boil the sugar into juice, put it into the fried hawthorn strips, let the sugar juice hang evenly on the hawthorn strips, and finally put it on the plate.

The hawthorn cake made in this way retains the eating function of hawthorn, and it is also particularly sweet, which is specially made by Liu Yiyi for Master Liu, who likes sweets, she didn't know that it would be right for Du Shaonan's appetite.

People spoke first, and Du Shaonan also had to say something to prove to the Liu family that he really came to ask for marriage with sincerity, "How can I come to visit the house empty-handed, this is a pair of purple gold dragon and phoenix bracelets handed down by my Du family, I hope it can still enter Miss Liu's eyes." ”

I sent a token! Lotus Osmanthus really wants to watch this scene that only appears on the stage, but as a maid, she should avoid it at this time, right? You see that the Du family's family has already gone out the door.

After a while, only the son and the young lady were left in the conservatory, Liu Yiyi subconsciously looked at the door, the conservatory often closed the door in order to keep warm in winter, she couldn't see if there was anyone outside, but there was a kind of intuition that lotus osmanthus must be guarding the door, as long as she shouted, they would come in immediately.

So she's safe.

Liu Yiyi took a few steps forward, sat on a chair one meter away from Du Shaonan, and said in a voice that could only be heard by two people: "Young Master Du, you don't like me, why should you wronged yourself to marry me?" ”

Liu Yiyi didn't touch the Du family's purple gold dragon and phoenix bracelet, Du Shaonan took the dragon bracelet and tapped the phoenix bracelet by himself, and said casually: "Miss Liu thinks that Young Master Ben has been wronged by marrying you?" Does this mean that you admit that the gossip out there is true? ”

"Of course not!" Liu Yiyi immediately gritted her teeth and denied it, "I mean, whether it's everyone's girlfriend or a small family's girlfriend, if it's not for the two lovers, it will be a grievance for both parties." ”

"It's not too late to cultivate after marriage, and many couples here are even more cave houses and candles before they meet, and they are not old together for a lifetime, unless they ...... Miss Liu had an intention of falling in love with someone, so she couldn't look down on me Du Shaonan and made an excuse to refuse. Du Shaonan still didn't look at Liu Yiyi as he spoke, and carefully looked at the finely carved golden dragon on the bracelet.

She has a liking, but it's a pity that people are not interested in her at the moment, in line with the principle that she shouldn't drag people into the water if she is wishful thinking, Liu Yiyi shook her head: "I don't have a crush on someone, it's just strange that I and Young Master Du are only a few sides of each other, how can Young Master Du believe in my character and help me in the wind and rain of the city?" ”

"What does a meeting say about it? What people need to see people is their brains and their eyes. Du Shao didn't say that he just believed Lin Yuxiao's words, and the sub-zero temperature that night was enough to freeze the enthusiasm of any pair of infatuated men and women.

"But what about your family? Do they agree with you marrying a merchant's daughter? Liu Yiyi is grateful for his trust, but marriage is not a matter of two people.

"As long as I want." Du Shaonan wants to learn the crazy and domineering male protagonist.

Liu Yiyi didn't feel domineering or moved, she frowned: "Parents are in charge of marriage matters, how can Young Master Du not have the consent of his parents?" ”

Is she true to tradition or is she making excuses? Du Shaonan still smiled indifferently: "My grandfather married my grandmother, and my father married my mother, they are all willing by themselves, what's the use of other people's opposition, they are not husband and wife love, some of them have passed a lifetime, and some have half a lifetime." ”

Two generations of the Du family are free to love? Liu Yiyi hadn't heard of it before, the only situation about the Du family was what Lu Tingqi said, it is said that Mrs. Li and Mrs. Hu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are at odds.

By the way, there is also Lu Tingqi's ** annoyance! "Young Master Du, thank you for daring to come to the door to propose marriage at this time, but have you ever thought that before, 'Liu Yiyi' went out to fight every day and no one said gossip, and there were obviously many people present that night, and there was a big event where the masked murderer was stabbed, but it still took over the private affairs of my Liu family, and spread all over the city?" Liu Yiyi asked.

Du Shaonan finally thought about it seriously: "You mean that someone deliberately targeted you?" ”

"It may be against me, or it may be against the Liu family, didn't Young Master Du hear that since the rumors spread, many people have started to rob my father's business? In short, the Liu family is in danger now, and Young Master Du should not take risks. Liu Yiyi explained.

"If the Liu family is indeed in danger, wouldn't it be better to marry the Du family? With the emperor's relatives as backers, who dares to disadvantage the Liu family? I see that Master Liu has lost a lot of weight these days. Du Shaonan said with a smile.

And his last sentence is right in Liu Yiyi's soft threat.
