Mother Liu, Liu Xuan and Mrs. Qian said some jokes in the house, and after a while, someone came to the front yard, saying that it was an auspicious time for them to go to the front yard.

Liu Mu got up and said with a smile: "It's an auspicious time, and I'm almost done with my witty remarks this year." She took Liu Xuan's hand and walked outside, her steps were a little anxious, and it was obvious that she was really impatient. Mrs. Qian followed behind her by half a step, and behind her were Dongmei Qiuju and Liu Mu and Mrs. Qian's maids.

Everyone walked towards the front yard, and before they entered the front yard, they heard a lively sound, Liu Mu stopped at the corner with Liu Xuan, and sent a small servant to come forward to spread the word that they had arrived.

After a while, I heard Mrs. Liu's hearty laughter: "Xuan'er is already here?" Please come up. ”

Liu Mu smiled and led Liu Xuan out of the corner into front of everyone, Liu Xuan just appeared and saw Li Che on the main seat in a dark gold stream, he was still handsome and sitting there with a different anger and self-authority than he had seen before.

At this moment, Li Che's deep eyes were also looking at her, Liu Xuan glanced at it and hurriedly lowered her head, she heard the sound of her heart beating like a drum.

Mrs. Liu, who was sitting on Li Che's right hand, saw Liu's mother coming out with Liu Xuan, and immediately got up and called, "Xuan'er, come here." ”

Mother Liu took Liu Xuan all the way to Mrs. Liu, Mother Liu was a fate, and everyone with low status here got up and saluted her, and when she came to Mrs. Liu's side, Mother Liu blessed everyone, and then took Liu Xuan and Mrs. Qian to salute Li Che on the main seat: "I've seen the prince." ”

Li Che's deep eyes looked at them and raised his hand, as clear as before, he couldn't hear the emotion: "Get up." ”

Liu Xuan and the others got up, and Mrs. Liu introduced to everyone with a smile: "Everyone. This is the righteous daughter Liu Axuan recognized by the old man, and today I invite the prince and you to come to testify. From this day on, she will bring the genealogy of the Liu clan under my wing. ”

Everyone applauded, and someone in the tail seat stood up and praised: "Mrs. Liu is so blessed." From now on, there will not only be a son who is the best of the two, but also a beautiful and refined righteous daughter, and from now on, she will be a good word for both children and daughters! ”

As soon as the man said this, many people got up one after another to congratulate, and Mrs. Liu picked up the wine bottle in front of him and drank it all: "Thank you for your good words." Everyone also raised their glasses, and even Li Che picked up the wine bottle and drank it all.

Mrs. Liu put down the wine bottle and said to the incense case prepared not far behind him: "The auspicious time has come, please pay respects." ”

After he finished speaking, he walked towards the incense case first, and Liu's mother took Liu Xuan's hand and followed closely. Mrs. Liu lit three incense sticks and bowed in all directions, and then inserted the incense on the incense case and said: "The ancestors and the ancestors are above, and the descendants of Liu Rui accepted Liu Axuan as a righteous daughter today, and from then on she is a member of my Liu family, and I hope that the ancestors and ancestors will bless her." ”

There was a small servant on the side who handed Liu Mu and Liu Xuan three sticks of incense each, and Liu Mu followed closely and bowed and then inserted incense, she gave way to the side after the incense, and motioned Liu Xuan to step forward.

Liu Xuan bowed in the appearance of Liu's mother, and was about to insert incense on the incense case. But a thick male voice said: "Wait! ”

Liu Xuan looked back at the man who spoke up, and saw a middle-aged man sitting under Li Che's left hand, with a rich appearance, and said, "Mrs. Liu's family style is strict, how can she accept a woman of unknown origin as a righteous daughter?" ”

Mrs. Liu frowned and said, "Master Cao, please be cautious." ”

Liu Xuan looked at the Cao Taishi and secretly paid in his heart. Sure enough, it still came.

Taishi Cao glanced at Liu Xuan coldly and said, "Taifu Liu can inquire about her background before accepting this Liu Axuan?" When the first product of the dynasty is so prosperous and the righteous daughter is so prosperous, it is better to be cautious. ”

Mrs. Liu snorted lightly: "This is the old man's family background, no matter where this Liu family Axuan comes from." As long as he votes for the relationship between the old man and his wife, the old man is willing to accept her as his subordinate. ”

"Mrs. Liu's words are wrong." Taishi Cao sneered: "Taifu is a member of the first rank of the dynasty." Your Majesty and the prince trust deeply, if you quietly accept this girl of unknown origin as a righteous daughter. The old man naturally won't say much, but now you are in front of the prince and the Manchu Dynasty, so solemnly including her into your Liu family, this matter is no longer a private matter of your Liu family. ”

As soon as Taishi Cao's voice fell, someone from the Cao family immediately got up and echoed, and the front yard, which was originally harmonious and peaceful, suddenly became a little tense.

Mrs. Liu looked at Mrs. Cao and frowned and said coldly, "Dare to ask Mrs. Cao what he thinks?" ”

Taishi Cao smiled coldly: "Since Mrs. Liu asked, the old man made it clear that he heard that Mrs. Liu wanted to accept this Liu Axuan as a righteous daughter, the old man was worried that Mrs. Liu was deceived by others, so he sent someone to check her origin, but this Liu Axuan was like a fan, the old man only found that she appeared in Hanyang, but there was no trace of Hanyang before, and this woman seemed to suddenly appear in Hanyang. ”

Taishi Cao's words suddenly made everyone present change their faces, and even Taishi Cao couldn't find out who had a history, what is the background of this Liu Axuan? All of a sudden, everyone at the banquet looked at Liu Xuan.

Under the gaze of everyone, Liu Xuan's face did not have the slightest color, she still stood there with a shallow smile and let everyone look at her, everyone was even more suspicious when they saw her so beautiful, so calm and so calm, where is it like the poor orphan girl in the life that Mrs. Liu said?

Although Liu Xuan let everyone look at her, she was secretly puzzled in her heart, Taishi Cao went to check her life experience but returned in vain, this must have been Li Che's secret tricks, but she was an orphan girl who couldn't say anything to others, why did he bother to hide it?

Isn't it because she is a businesswoman and an orphan girl, and she is afraid that her background is too low and the population will humiliate the Liu family?

Liu Xuan secretly denied this idea in her heart, Li Che's every move has a deep meaning, but she is afraid that her life experience will not be known.

Everyone looked at Liu Xuan for a moment and saw that she was still calm and light, and couldn't help but start whispering, saying everything, and even some people had begun to suspect that Liu Xuan was a spy sent by the enemy.

Master Cao looked at Liu Xuan's calm appearance coldly and frowned: "Liu Axuan, do you dare to tell your life experience?" ”

Liu Xuan didn't open her mouth, only glanced at someone in the seat, and then lowered her head, someone asked her not to speak today, if she is in charge, she can remember this.

Seeing that Liu Xuan didn't answer his words, Taishi Cao immediately reprimanded angrily: "Bold! How dare you ignore this master! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a clear voice sounded on his right: "I don't know that in just two or three days, the person sent by Taishi Cao to investigate was able to get news from Hanyang and return to Beijing. ”

Li Che suddenly spoke, and there was a sudden silence all around.

Taishi Cao's face immediately turned around and saluted Li Che: "The prince doesn't know, the old minister has some family business in Hanyang, and it just so happened that someone saw this Liu Axuan appear in Hanyang. ”

Which one of you here doesn't have its own power, such as what about his Cao clan's investigation of individuals, but these are all tacit, and now they are pointed out by Li Che in person, but Taishi Cao can't recognize it and doesn't dare to admit it.

Li Che picked up the wine bottle and drank it up, and said softly noncommittally: "Really? ”

Taishi Cao nodded and said that there was something to do, this prince had a good method, his Cao clan originally occupied the court, but in just a few years, there were only ten or four Cao family members left in the court, how could he not be afraid of such means?

Li Che motioned to the little servant next to him to fill the wine, and his deep black eyes carried some deep meaning: "Since it's just a person from your Cao family who met by chance, then how can you say about what happened before you came to Hanyang?" ”

Taishi Cao's heart was cold, broken, his words were inconsistent, and when he was thinking hard about how to get around, Li Che said lightly: "Presumably Taishi Cao is angry with Taifu Liu because the palace punished your beloved daughter, right?" ”

Part of the reason why Taishi Cao is in trouble today is indeed because of this, if he was usually said by Li Che like this, he would definitely deny it, but today Li Che said this as if he gave him a step down, Taishi Cao nodded helplessly slightly, he couldn't let the prince feel that his Cao family was already powerful, and the power under his door was all over the place.

But he was still a little unconvinced, and said in a low voice: "Prince Mingjian, although the old minister is selfish, but it is indeed for the sake of Mrs. Liu's reputation, he categorically cannot accept a woman of unknown origin as a righteous daughter." ”

Master Cao's words are to let Liu Xuan explain her background, and everyone nodded one after another, if this Liu Xuan is really of unknown origin, she really can't let Mrs. Liu accept her as a righteous daughter.

Li Che raised his eyebrows slightly: "Taishi's words are reasonable, but this Liu family's Axuan, this palace heard that it was brought to Beijing by Ning Wang Shizi, and he also deliberately placed the house next to Ning Wang's Mansion for her to settle, presumably Ning Wang Shizi knows the identity of this Liu family Axuan very well, if Taishi wants to know, why don't you ask Ning Wang Shizi?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone froze, and asked them to ask the overlord who would breathe fire at any time? If you accidentally lose your head, you will not say a word for yourself when you go up to the current saint and down to the civil and military officials.

When Taishi Cao heard of Deng Yu's prestige, he didn't open his mouth at the moment, and sat back in his place silently.

Li Che glanced at Mrs. Liu lightly and said: "Although Mrs. Cao's words are inappropriate, but for the sake of Mrs. Cao, if it weren't for King Ning Shizi personally telling the palace the origin of this woman, the palace would never allow you to accept a woman of unknown origin as a righteous daughter." ”

Mrs. Liu hurriedly saluted and said, "What His Highness said is true. ”

Everyone was silent, Taishi Cao bowed his head and frowned, when did this Prince Ning and the prince get along?

Li Che nodded towards Taifu Liu: "The palace above the court is most dependent on Taifu and Taishi, don't let the two of you have a gap over this trivial matter, this matter will be revealed, and continue to hold the ceremony." ”

Li Che spoke, and everyone naturally nodded yes, Liu Xuan's pillar of incense was about to burn, and the maid on the side handed her three sticks of incense again, Liu Xuan bowed and then inserted it on the incense case. (To be continued......)
