Chapter 168: Distinguished Guest
Chapter 168
Since Qi Siren was admitted to the Jinshi, his grandfather Qi Jian also went to the capital and rented a small courtyard in the west of the capital to live temporarily.
The main purpose is to urge Qi Siren to work hard and take the Shu Jishi exam in one go, so that even if he goes to the door, he has something to say, and a good official position in a serious way can be regarded as a complete merit.
Fortunately, after Qi Siren experienced some things, he slowly matured a lot.
Take the matter of the Liu family as an example, although the matter between Qi Siren and Liu Zhen was in the front, after Qi Jian heard some news, he resolutely opposed Qi Siren coming to the door to propose marriage.
Qi Siren didn't want to leave a handle for others without entering the office, so he said his thoughts.
After Qi Jian heard this, he was happy in his heart, but he was afraid that it would happen.
"Does this really work?"
"Grandfather, listen to my good news! After all, not many people know that you are in the capital. At most, people call me a nerd and don't say anything else. ”
Qi Siren had a smug smile on his face.
The two discussed the countermeasures, then found a distant relative in the Qi family in the capital, and took a matchmaker to the Liu family to propose marriage.
When Liu Jialu and Liu Ming heard that the Qi family came to the door to accept the lottery, they saw that it was an old man with a hunchback over the age of sixties, and a matchmaker with a dressed flower branch carried a goose of Nacai, and entered the door with nothing else.
The old man claimed to be Qi Siren's cousin, and came to the door on behalf of his father to collect lottery for Qi Siren.
Although there are such lottery in the people, but it is all because of the shortage of money, and it has to be done.
What made Liu Ming even more angry was that the person who came made many mistakes in his speech, and even said the matter of asking for his name.
When Liu Ming heard this, he was furious in his heart, which obviously did not take the Liu family in his eyes, let alone Liu Zhen in his heart.
is so contemptuous before they get married. After getting married, Qi Siren didn't know how to treat Liu Zhen.
Although Liu Ming hesitated about Liu Zhen's previous actions, when facing the people who came to the door of the Qi family to propose marriage. still couldn't help but shoot the case, and ordered the nursing home to drive people out.
When the Qi family didn't rush out of the Liu family's mansion, Liu Jialu didn't say anything, and after taking the people away, Fang held his forehead with his hand and sighed deeply.
"Qi Jian has already arrived in the capital, but the Qi family staged such a play. It's clear that something is known. He didn't want to set himself on fire. ”
After Liu Ming heard Liu Jialu's words, he was stunned for a moment and said: "Uncle and grandfather mean that the Qi family deliberately did this, in order to ask our Liu family to propose to withdraw from the marriage!" ”
"What kind of thing is the Qi family?" Liu Jialu sat up straight suddenly, sneered and said, "Even if it is our family's concubine who accompanies their sister-in-law, it is they who have climbed high, Qi Siren tried his best to have a relationship with our Liu family, but he didn't think that the Liu family was a big tree enough for him to rely on."
If the Qi family really wants to marry the Liu family, how can they shoot such two people today. It is obvious that he wants to draw a line with the Liu family. ”
After Liu Jialu said this, he slapped the armrest of the chair heavily and stood up, and said to Liu Ming: "Don't pay attention to the Qi family's affairs now, the most important thing is how Huo Si gets through the current hurdle, and now the most important thing is to take the line of the Chu Palace, and then make good use of the relationship with Concubine Hua." Even if there really is something. It won't affect you, as long as you are still an official in the court. Our Liu family will have a day to revive the family business. ”
Liu Ming listened to what Liu Jialu said solemnly, and knew that what he said today was by no means casual, and he was suddenly shocked.
Although Liu Ming doesn't know what is written in the fold, he also knows that Liu Jialu's situation is important.
Liu Ming nodded slightly and said, "Yes!" ”
Liu Jialu couldn't help but comfort when he saw that Liu Ming, who had always been fond of children, no longer played tricks on his daughter's affairs.
In the end, he still focuses on the big picture.
After several members of the Qi family who completed the mission went back, they were praised by Qi Jian and Qi Siren, needless to say.
In the backyard of the Liu family, Liu Zhen suddenly learned that his family who came to the door to accept the lottery was beaten out by Liu Ming, and he was immediately stupid, and his eyes were so wide that the boss didn't speak for a long time.
The people serving around him were frightened and hurried to find Liu Ke to come.
After Liu Ke arrived in Liu Zhen's yard, he heard the crying inside, and knew that Liu Zhen had vented, so he couldn't help sighing and raised his feet to enter the door.
Seeing that everything that could be smashed in the room was thrown to the ground, Liu Zhen was still holding a Ru kiln porcelain bottle in his hand and was about to throw it to the ground, seeing Liu Ke push the door and walk in, Liu Zhen used more and more strength to put the porcelain bottle on the ground and stopped crying, with tears on her face, and said coldly: "Sister, this is to see a joke?" Or are you here to show off your good family? My father has always been partial, and he is afraid that I will surpass you, even in family affairs, sue you, I don't eat this set, I have nothing now, and the big deal is death. ”
As soon as it came to death, the expression on Liu Zhen's face froze, and he quickly picked up a sharp piece of porcelain from the ground and put it on his neck, "Even if I die, I will never be ridiculed by you-"
She hadn't finished her words yet, only listening to the "pop-", Liu Ke stretched out her hand and slapped Liu Zhen with a crisp slap: "If you want to die, it's better to die cleanly, so as to protect the door of the Liu family." ”
How could Liu Ke not understand that Liu Zhen wanted to die or live at this time in order to slap Liu Ming in the face.
Liu Ming drove the Qi family away, and Liu Zhen didn't know what to do, so he blamed the reason on Liu Ming's attitude towards his daughters.
How did she know that Qi Siren, who had always been her sweet talker, was trying his best to dissociate himself from her.
She hoped to wake up Liu Zhen with this slap.
Liu Zhen was stunned by Liu Ke's slap, and reached out to cover the numb cheeks that were beaten, and didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
I only heard Liu Ke take a deep breath, and continued coldly: "Do you think that your father drove the people of the Qi family away without knowing anything and ruined your relatives, have you thought about it, even if you are the concubine of the Liu family, even if Qi Siren is a two-list jinshi, it is also his Qi family who has climbed us greatly, not to mention that my uncle and grandfather are the imperial history of the court, even my father is much more promising than Qi Siren's father Qi Zhixin, why can their Qi family make mistakes in this kind of thing, where is this to come to Nacai, obviously to withdraw from the family!"
Father beat them out is considered to be your face, you are still making trouble, what is there to make trouble, do you want the whole capital to know that you want to marry an ungrateful thing? ”
After Liu Zhen listened to Liu Ke's words, the porcelain piece slowly slipped down from her neck, and murmured: "No, no, he said that he came back to marry me, why did he do this?" Why did he lie to me? ”
"You are the third lady of the Liu family, as long as you sit upright, who would dare to look down on you, as for marriage, it has been the order of your parents since ancient times, you just need to be obedient and wait for the arrangement of your family, such a fuss can only make people laugh."
Liu Ke saw that Liu Zhen's feelings gradually calmed down, and he didn't say anything more, and took people except Liu Zhen's yard.
After coming out, Liu Ke couldn't help but reach out and pinch his brow.
She was in front of Liu Zhen just now, and in order to stabilize Liu Zhen, she only said half of what she said.
At this time, her heart was up and down.
This move of the Qi family confirmed his thoughts even more.
The Qi family must have smelled something abnormal, otherwise they would never give up the opportunity to marry the Liu family.
As she told Liu Zhen just now, even if she is the concubine of the Liu family, the Qi family is also very high, but the Qi family chose to use this method to remove the opportunity to marry the Liu family, which is too abnormal.
What made her feel relieved was that the Shi family actually wanted to marry Liu Yun, which showed that Shi Yan was a person who valued love and righteousness.
Although the Shi family has not made any moves, judging from the news coming out of the Shi family's room, the matter between Shi Yan and Liu Wan has been approved.
Before she could come and tell Liu Wan in detail, the name of the Chu Palace, Naji, Nazheng, and the invitation date came immediately.
She has not fully digested the fact that she is going to marry into the Chu Palace, and her wedding date is coming.
And Liu Jialu also feels more and more in crisis.
Although he rarely goes in and out these days, and only puts his mind on Liu Ke's marriage, he has not forgotten for a day that he still has a sword hanging over his head.
Just when Liu Ke's wedding date was still more than ten days away, the Shi family officially came to the door to propose.
And it was Shi Yan's father and his two retinues who came.
Liu Jialu and Liu Ming are naturally high-minded.
Liu Ming had already heard that Liu Jialu had given him the wind, and knew that the Shi family was going to come to ask for Liu Yan for Shi Yan, but he didn't expect Shi Zhai to come in person.
Shi Zhai is now the envoy of Luan Yiwei Yun in front of the emperor, and he is a four-grade official, although his official rank is small, but he wanders around in front of the emperor every day, and Shi Zhai is favored by the emperor It is also obvious to all.
So even Liu Jialu didn't dare to underestimate Shi Zhai.
Moreover, Liu Jialu is now in an extraordinary period, so he is naturally quite grateful for Shi Zhai's arrival.
Shi Zhai was a little embarrassed to see Liu Jialu personally greet him at the door, so he arched his hand and smiled: "Liu Yushi came to greet him in person, which made the lower officials panic." ”
Shi Zhai is tall and mighty, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes on his slightly dark face, extremely handsome, and a slight stubble on his chin, and the whole person looks heroic.
Although he said panic in his mouth, there was no trace of panic on Shi Zhai's face.
Liu Jialu was also full of smiles, and hurriedly let Shi Zhai in.
Liu Ming, who was standing on the side, had no chance to interject.
Shi Zhai is a cool person, and as soon as he sits down, he will explain his intentions.
Hearing this, Liu Jialu smiled and said to Liu Ming: "Lord Shi loves Wan'er so much, what do you say?" ”
Liu Ming just wanted to speak, but suddenly Liu Jialu's long-term entourage hurriedly ran in, although he saw Shi Zhai present, but he didn't have the slightest intention of retreating.
Seeing this, Liu Jialu scolded: "Bastard, don't you see that there are distinguished guests here?" Even if there is something big, it shouldn't be so reckless. (To be continued)
