Chapter 167: Marriage Proposal

May 3 is less than two months away, and the time for the six salutes to be pulled down is not full.

However, after receiving the emperor's decree, Liu Jialu breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the emperor has made a marriage decree, at least the Liu family will not be touched before May 3.

On the third day after the Liu family received the emperor's decree, they didn't want news from the palace, so Concubine Hua asked the Shi family to bring the girls from the family into the palace.

After Shi Shi heard the words from the palace, he couldn't help but wonder a little in his heart.

Whenever she took the initiative to enter the palace to meet Concubine Hua, Concubine Hua rarely took the initiative to let people come to her.

After all, the rules in the palace are big, even if Shi is Concubine Hua's aunt and grandmother, they can't be passed on casually.

With doubts in his heart, Shi took the three sisters of Liu Ke to the palace.

After entering the palace, Shi Shi knew that it turned out that Concubine Hua had asked the emperor for a decree today, which made Shi feel even more strange.

Concubine Hua looked at Liu Ke, Liu Wan and the others on Shi's side, and smiled at the corner of her mouth: "Get up." ”

Shi slowly stood up, only to find that there was still a person sitting next to Concubine Hua.

Shi raised his head and saw that Xie was sitting on one side, and after getting up, he inevitably went to salute Xie.

"Second sister-in-law, I didn't expect you to be here." Shi smiled while bowing.

Xie Shi got up and stretched out his hand to support Shi, and said with a smile: "I haven't come to see Niangniang for a few days, so I happened to come over today when I had something to ask for." ”

Shi couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, but she knew Xie Shi and had always spoken like this, so she was not surprised to hear Xie Shi say the purpose of his coming today.

Even Concubine Hua just smiled. said: "Come on, give the old lady a seat." ”

After Shi sat down, Concubine Hua continued: "I came to my aunt and wife today, not for anything else, but to say goodbye to my brothers in the family." After saying this, Concubine Hua glanced at Xie Shi and said with a smile: "What does Mrs. Gu think of Shi Yan's child?" ”

As soon as Shi Shi entered the door just now and saw Xie Shi sitting, he felt that today's incident might be what Xie wanted to do with Concubine Hua to press her.

But when Concubine Hua said this, she couldn't help but be stunned.

She never expected that the Xie family would really propose to her for Shi Yantuo Concubine Hua.

Now Liu Ke and Liu Zhen are already famous. What Xie asked for was naturally Liu Wan.

She thought for a while and said with a joking smile: "Which of our Shi family's descendants is not first-class excellent, although Zhimo is sometimes impulsive, but he is not a bad child." ”

She is a member of the Shi family, whether it is the big room or the second room, they are all the same distance as her. Naturally, she couldn't say a word about Shi Yan.

"Since Mrs. Gu also sees that his nature is not bad, then the palace will be in charge, and will give the child Shi Yan from your house, I don't know if Mrs. Gu may be the master?" Concubine Hua said to Shi as if jokingly.

Shi's marriage to Liu Jialu is considered to be a marriage, and she has always been in the Liu family.

Although Liu Jialu is in his fifties, there have been no other women since he married Shi. There are no children in the second room of the Liu family, and the status of the Shi family in the Liu family can be seen from this.

Concubine Hua's words seemed to be joking, but in fact, she forced Shi to agree to this marriage.

Shi Shi listened to this. Immediately nodded and responded: "Since the mother looks at them well, the old body naturally has no opinions." ”

After saying this, she couldn't help but wonder a little: Xie and Concubine Hua don't see how close their relationship is on weekdays, why did they help Xie talk like this this time.

After all, Concubine Hua is from the Wenshi family, not the Wushi family.

After the family matter was decided, Xie got up and thanked Concubine Hua. It's time to say goodbye.

Due to the regulations in the palace, relatives cannot enter the palace for more than one hour in the harem. So after Xie left, Shi also left.

After returning home. Liu Jialu hadn't gone home yet, and she was full of doubts and couldn't solve them, so she got up and went to the Shi family's big house.

Liu didn't seem surprised by Shi's arrival, and after letting her into the room, he only pulled her to say something else, and didn't ask her what she was from.

When Shi was talking to Liu, Shi Yu ran in from outside in a hurry, and when he saw Shi was there, he had to accept the eagerness on his face and salute respectfully.

"What do you do?" Liu took a sip of the gaiwan tea in his hand and said to Shi Yu.

Shi Yu arched his hand and said, "I heard that the old lady is here, so I hurried to meet him." ”

After hearing this, Liu Shi suddenly smiled on his face and said, "Mrs. Lao Gu didn't hurt you in vain, she knows filial piety, which is very good." ”

Shi Yu's face turned red when Liu said and lowered his head.

Shi Shi followed with a perfunctory compliment, and said, "Good boy, you are busy with your going, I will go back after saying a few words to your old lady, and there is nothing important." ”

Originally, Shi Yu felt panicked here, and as soon as he heard this, he got up and left.

After Shi Yu went out, Shi said with a smile: "Yu'er, this child is really painful, originally I was optimistic about Yu'er, but I didn't want Concubine Hua to make the decision today to give Yan'er to Shi Yan." ”

After Shi Shi said this, Liu pretended to be surprised and said: "There is such a thing," after saying this, he felt speechless, and hurriedly smiled: "Shi Yan is also a good boy, and he is very suitable for Wan'er." ”

"Compared with the second sister-in-law, I want to be in-laws with my sister-in-law more, and I want to be close to each other." Shi said tentatively.

Liu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "Thank you for your love, but this Concubine Hua didn't tell me about it, I think the second brother and sister have never had anything to say to her, she can't refute the face of the second brother and sister, so she has to propose to you for her." ”

Shi Shi had no choice but to nod when he heard this, and asked, "Sister-in-law didn't hear any movement, right?" ”

When Liu Shi heard this, his eyes turned, he leaned towards Shi's side, and said with a puzzled expression: "What kind of movement do you mean by movement?" ”

When Shi heard this, he saw that Liu's face was full of puzzlement, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just think it's a little strange, how could the second sister-in-law suddenly ask Concubine Hua to come forward to say goodbye." ”

"Hey! What should I do, the second brother and sister must have thought that Wan'er was okay a long time ago, and during this time, I heard that the emperor had set a wedding date for Chu Shizi and Ke'er, so I was also anxious, what is there to wonder about. Liu's face suddenly smiled meaningfully.

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything else, Shi said a few more words to her and then offered to leave.

Liu's was not very retained.

After watching Shi get into the carriage, the smile on Liu's face disappeared little by little, and he sighed and turned to enter the door.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Shi Yu standing inside the door waiting for her.

Seeing her enter the mansion, he hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Ancestor, slow down." Shi Yu helped Liu forward and said.

Liu Shi said angrily: "There is definitely no good thing to be courteous without anything, let's say, what do you want to do this kid?" ”

Shi Yu hesitated for a long time before muttering with a frustrated face: "Ancestor, why did Sister Hua Fei act as a matchmaker for Shi Yan, she is my own sister, why is she facing outsiders." ”

After hearing this, Liu Shi glared at Shi Yu sideways, pulled his hand out of Shi Yu's arm, slapped it on his head, and said: "What do you say, for a woman to arrange her sister like this, wait, and soon you will know that your sister will give Liu Yan to Shi Yan This is really towards you, not towards him." ”

After hearing this, Shi Yu couldn't help but stop, he was stunned for a long time and didn't speak, and when the Liu family was already far away, he seemed to realize something, and said to himself: "Could it be that there is something wrong with the Liu family?" ”

After Shi returned to Liufu from Wenshi's house, Liu Jialu had already returned.

As soon as she entered the door and heard that Liu Jialu had returned, she hurriedly went to the study to find him.

told him about Concubine Hua's proposal to the Liu family for Shi Yan today.

After Liu Jialu heard this, he couldn't help but look panicked, leaned on the back of the chair slowly, raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead and said, "Is it true that I can't escape this catastrophe?" ”

After saying this, he closed his eyes deeply and put his hand into a fist on his forehead.

Seeing this, Shi couldn't help but panic a little in his heart, "Why do you say such a thing, since Concubine Hua is willing to ask for Wan'er for Shi Yan, it means that our Liu family can pass this pass, at least it will not harm the children and grandchildren, otherwise, how could Concubine Hua Niangniang make such a decision." ”

After listening to Shi's words, Liu Jialu opened his eyes suddenly, nodded heavily, and said, "You are right. It's just that women are not as good as men, and when they get married, they become members of their husband's family, and they have a relationship with their mother's family! ”

"So what are we going to do?" After hearing this, Shi couldn't help but feel flustered in his heart, "Is it just waiting to be killed?" ”

Liu Jialu hammered the table with his fist, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and said: "I naturally won't be restrained, even if I die, I have to pull a few more cushions, I'm not happy, don't think about it." ”

When he had said this, he stood up and walked out.

"It's so late, where are you going?" Shi Shi looked at the sky, it was already twilight and hazy outside, and he couldn't help but ask at Liu Jialu's back.

"It's because you have to go out at night to do things, you just have dinner, you don't have to wait for me." Liu Jialu strode out without looking back.

Shi rubbed his hands, distraught for a while.

Fortunately, Liu Jialu came back not long after he went out, and when he came back again, he didn't look like he had just now, and there was a hint of joy on his face.

Although Shi knew that he couldn't ask anything, he was still a little relieved when he saw Liu Jialu's expression.

A few days later, the Chu Wangfu came to the door to accept the lottery.

Although Liu Ke and Rong Yi's marriage was given by the emperor, the formality that should be taken is still to be left.
