Chapter 142: The Li Clan Makes Up Their Minds
"The daughter-in-law knows, the daughter-in-law is not a shallow-eyed person, the daughter-in-law is just these two daughters, so naturally she has to put their happiness first, and who can say for sure about the royal affairs, Yun'er is better to marry into a noble family like Chengjia." Li's aunt is Concubine Hand, that is, one of the four concubines of the first emperor, and the Li family is clear about her aunt's difficulties, so she is naturally unwilling to let Liu Haiyun marry into the royal family.
The old lady smiled with relief: "It's good that you can figure it out, the sadness behind the glamorous beauty is not something Yun'er can bear, and now the situation is unclear, Yun'er must not fall into it." β
"Grandmother, what are you doing so far, who can say for sure what will happen in the future, the most important thing now is to quickly settle my sister's family affairs, and recently let the second aunt look for Sister Nanxi, my aunt thinks it's time to come, there are many young talents around me, my aunt looked at Yu Xiao and Zhang Zhen before like a lamb slaughtered, I can't look down on these two big radish, I prefer Li Mochang of Dali Temple's family Li Mochang, but there is already a marriage contract, but Wu Chengxu is still good, although he also went to the Qinglou with us, but it is very bottom-line. Liu Haihua's evaluation of Li Mochang and Wu Chengxu is quite high, Li Mochang will not mention it for the time being if he has a fiancΓ©e, but Wu Chengxu is very principled, even if he lingers in the flowers, he will not touch a leaf, compared to the rest of the noble children in Handu, it is much better, and he is his own brother, and his character is definitely not bad.
"Wu Chengxu? The surname Wu, could it be that he is the descendant of the Marquis of Wu'an? "The old lady has stayed at home in recent years, and she doesn't know about these juniors, she just thinks that the surname is Wu, and she is extremely good with Haihua, so she thinks it should be someone from Wu'an Houfu.
Li heard Liu Haihua mention the word Wu Chengxu, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that he is really the eldest son of Wu'an Houfu, and the eldest lady of Wu'an Houfu, a few years ago, also said that her eldest son should be married, and she was worried to death. β
"If it is Wu'anhou's mansion is also good, I and Wu'anhou's wife Yunjin still had handkerchiefs when they were not out of the pavilion, my body has become more and more lazy in recent years, and those old sisters in the past have also moved around less, if Xi'er can really have a fate with her son-in-law, I have nothing to worry about."
The old lady believes in the upbringing of Mrs. Wu'anhou, and the reputation of Wu'anhou's Mansion is also there, so naturally there will be no difference, and Haihua is a good person like him, and he is not bad, and the most important thing is that his old sister can also protect and guide him.
"That's right, now it's time for my sister to nod, but when it comes to my mother's birthday, I can take Nanxi and their sisters to meet your old sisters, and Mrs. Wu'anhou naturally understands what you mean." Li felt that this was a good way, if it wasn't for her family's Haiyun had already decided, she would definitely want Liu Haiyun to come out and show her face, but now she definitely can't.
Speaking of the birthday, the old lady remembered what she told Liu Haihua to do, and she didn't know if he could do it properly, but she heard that the blue moon girl in Allure Tower was extremely high, even if it was the face of the emperor's relatives, she didn't care about it, such a woman who didn't sell her body and had backbone was sought after by thousands of people in Handu, and she still had some doubts about Liu Haihua's ability to do things.
"Haihua, I'll finish what I've told you, don't wait for my birthday to make a joke, then you have to be careful of your skin." At such an age, the old lady can no longer dress up as a man and dress up as a dashing boy to visit the Qinglou when she was young, but she is very curious about the blue moon girl with outstanding dancing skills in Liu Haihua's mouth, not only to see how a strange woman fascinated her grandson, but also to see how the legendary waist bending dance and neon clothes and feather songs are shocking, she is also worth it.
"This is to ask grandmother to put a hundred hearts, the grandson will definitely do it properly, and will never let grandmother lose face, although you invite those old sisters of yours to come, promise to make your birthday unique, and let those elders make this trip worthwhile, where is the blue moon, I have my own way." Liu Haihua has mentioned this matter to Lan Yue countless times, but every time Lan Yue refused, but Liu Haihua didn't want the old lady to regret it, every time he mentioned Lan Yue's charming dance, the old lady's eyes were envious and yearning.
Li didn't know what the two ancestors and grandchildren were fighting, listening to Liu Haihua mention the birthday and what Blue Moon mentioned, she thought carefully before remembering that the Oiran of the Allure Tower, which was recently known as the Han Capital, was not called Blue Moon, she still heard her nephew ask herself, saying that Haihua was the girl's guest in the curtain, did her mother want to invite the girl of the Allure Tower on her birthday, although she felt that something was wrong, but she didn't say too much.
"That's good, if I can really get my wish, I will have no regrets in my life." The old lady loved dancing all her life, and she loved dancing very much when she was young, and the grandfather of the old country also liked to watch the old lady dance the most, but the Jin country was partial to the northern barbarians, and there were few masters with outstanding dance skills, which was not as good as the Tang twilight in the Central Plains.
"Grandmother, you still have a long way to go in this life, and your grandson still needs your guidance." Liu Haihua couldn't listen to the old lady say such frustrating words, and the closest people to him in the entire Guogong Mansion were the old lady and Liu Haiyun, and he naturally didn't want his closest relatives to have an accident.
"Okay, I'll see if you can get your wish."
The old lady knows Liu Haihua's thoughts about Lanyue, but since ancient times, marriage has been about the right family, and Liu Haihua's love this time is probably not so easy to solve.
"Grandmother, you can also watch this, grandchildren let you wait and see." Liu Haihua is bound to have a mind for Lan Yue, his feeling about Lan Yue now is that he is panicked when he doesn't see it for a moment, and he just left and has a sense of missing it, even if the existence of this Allure Tower has ulterior motives, he is willing to hide it for her.
The Li family couldn't understand what the grandparents and grandson said, and they didn't know what the two were talking about, so she simply didn't think about it, but just thought about going back to the courtyard to Liu Ren to explain the old lady's opinion clearly, and she should urge him to hurry up and reply to the family to send a letter, but the mother had already explained everything thoroughly, and she must have made plans early.
The old lady and Liu Haihua talked and laughed and laughed, and the Li family was still waiting in front of her, or Liu Haihua reminded her, she remembered that there was still the Li family, and her memory was really not good.
Seeing that Li's expression was a little flustered, the old lady also guessed what was going on, so she coughed lightly and said: "Second daughter-in-law, you go back to your yard first, discuss the matter with the second child, this matter should be sooner rather than later, as long as you tell me well, the second child will naturally understand." β
"That'...... The daughter-in-law retired there, and this matter cannot be delayed, and the daughter-in-law will come over to talk to you after the matter is arranged. Li Shi did not hesitate to refuse, knowing that the old lady deliberately let herself do things, and she was sincere to Yun'er, so she naturally responded.
When the Li family returned to the courtyard, it happened that Liu Ren was just about to go out to meet friends, and the Li family came back from the old lady's side, Liu Ren temporarily dispelled his thoughts, and saw his wife's anxious face to know that there was something, and followed Li into the house after explaining a few words to his little servant.
"Madam, what are you in such a hurry, for the sake of your husband, you are gasping, come and drink a cup of tea and rest." Liu and Li said some jokes, which was also the love between the two husbands and wives, and handed Li a cup of tea while talking.
Li drank a cup of tea like a cow, sorted out his thoughts and said: "Mother is also optimistic about Yun'er's family matter, mother said that this matter has to be settled in a hurry, since it has been decided, there is no need to delay it any longer, you go and give a letter to the family today." β
When Liu Ren heard this, he was not in a hurry, and drank the refreshing tea leisurely, as if the whole world was not in his eyes, let alone Li's impatience.
"Why don't you hurry up, my mother said that there is a draft in mind, why don't you plan for your daughter, and you look leisurely, who are you doing this?" As soon as Li Shi saw Liu Ren's unhurried and unconcerned appearance, a nameless fire erupted.
"Don't get excited, how can I not plan for Yun'er, that's my sister-in-law's daughter-in-law, I planned earlier than you, seeing that you haven't moved for a long time, I have already ventilated Cheng Juewen yesterday, you just wait for the family to come to the door to propose, and prepare a dowry for Yun'er."
"What? You already ventilated the family yesterday, but didn't I tell you not to panic, let me ask Haihua's opinion first? This rare young talent is something that Haihua doesn't know, you said that you are too arbitrary in doing this, in case...... In case that Cheng Qingyuan is a swinger who eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles, aren't you ruining our Yun'er? When Li Shi heard that this matter was decided, his first reaction was very happy, but when he thought about it, something was wrong, he hadn't admitted it yet, why did Liu Ren go and make it privately, and he didn't know any news.
Liu Ren's face changed slightly, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, thinking that this woman's mind was really difficult to fathom, obviously she was just urging herself to hurry up and settle down, this is not just a blink of an eye, she settled down early, but she will be scolded again, I really don't know why.
"This ...... This...... Didn't you tell me to decide? Isn't that the next generation of a kid who can start a family? I still have a bit of an eye for people. Liu Ren boasted about his vision again, but in fact, he only took into account the thoughts of the Shengshang draft and the character and style of the Cheng family, so he didn't think too much about it.
"I ...... I"
Li Shi was dumbfounded when asked, it is true that she now thinks that becoming a family and becoming Qingyuan is a good match for Yun'er, but she can't let Liu Ren respond so hastily, she really has nothing to say, and it will not be polite to talk to Liu Ren, so she simply shut up.
"Okay, okay, I heard the rumors of the Holy Draft, this matter is not far from ten, I am also panicked, so I will make a decision with Cheng Juewen so soon, I have also thought about it carefully, my mother's words about marrying as soon as possible are not unreasonable, the world will only become more and more chaotic, and it is good for Yun'er to marry earlier." Liu Ren saw the situation more clearly than Liu Cong and Liu Zhongdu, and naturally understood that the troubled times were coming.
Li nodded slightly, she didn't say anything anymore, since the things had been said, then she would just prepare the dowry for Yun'er with peace of mind, her mother said that she would get married in the spring, and there were not many days left, and she had to hurry up to prepare properly.
β¦β¦
After Yu Xiao and Zhang Zhen left the Qi State Mansion, they did not separate immediately, but after the two walked together for a while, Zhang Zhen left under Yu Xiao's every possible retention.
It took about an hour for the carriage to go from the Duke of Qi to the Ancheng Mansion, and Yu Xiao in the carriage sighed that the road to the Ancheng Mansion was really far, and this Luo Kun's younger brother must be tired when he went out on weekdays, and there were not many people on the way, and it was far from the street of the Qi Mansion in the world.
"Childe, Uncle Ancheng Mansion has arrived."
"Is it there? Then you just go and call the door, is it possible that you have to go in person? Yu Xiao roared angrily, he originally regretted saying on a whim to pick up Luo Kun, this ghost place where birds don't is really not easy to walk, and he was interrupted by a sentence that the little girl had no eyesight, and he was immediately angry.
"Yes, Childe."
He heard the unhappiness in Yu Xiao's heart, and didn't dare to take other words that angered Yu Xiao, so he jumped out of the carriage neatly and headed towards the gate of Ancheng Bofu, but before he could drink tea, he returned to the carriage with a sad and depressed face.
"Why hasn't the door opened yet?" Seeing that the painting scroll was back, but the gatehouse did not move at all, and the door of the house was still closed, which made Yu Xiao feel a little uncomfortable.
"Childe, those people didn't want to open the door for us, and they insulted the little ones, and the little ones really couldn't talk about them." As soon as the painting scroll saw the porter, he said that he was here to pick up Luo Kun's son, but after the porter heard that it was Luo Kun, he glared at the painting scroll with an unkind face, and asked the painting scroll to dodge quickly, don't get in the way of their business, even if the painting scroll mentioned the name of Yu Xiao, those people not only didn't believe it, but also said that the painting scroll was a liar.
"What. Did you say that this son came to pick up Luo Kun? β
"They just don't believe it, and they say that the little ones must be liars." The painting scroll has never been so insulted, although the child's temper is not good, but it is very protective, he has been with the son for so many years, and has never met such a rude person, no wonder the Ancheng Bofu has declined.
As soon as Yu Xiao heard that his name was not good, he was furious at once, and decided that he had to teach those few guys who looked down on people a lesson, and opened the carriage curtain and went to the gate of Anchengbo's mansion angrily, he didn't believe that he couldn't get in.
"Stop, go out, this is where you can enter? Hurriedly left. β
"You dare to ask Ben Gongzi to leave, and you even yell at Ben Gongzi, I think you are tired of being crooked." Yu Xiao didn't say a word, took the wooden stick handed over by the painting scroll and smashed it on the body of the gatekeeper, so that they didn't know the gold and jade, and they had to teach a good lesson. 95
As early as when Yu Xiao beat people, the sharp-eyed and thoughtful person hurriedly turned around and entered the house to inform the housekeeper, so that he would not be beaten, and he might be praised by the housekeeper.
When the housekeeper Luo Zhong left the house, he happened to see Yu Xiao holding a wooden stick to beat his own people without the slightest strength to fight back, he wanted to have a seizure, but when he saw that Yu Xiao's temperament and the cloth and the jade pendant hanging in front of him were not mortal, his face changed slightly, and he suppressed the anger in his heart.
"This son, keep people under the stick, and ask the son's subordinates to be merciful, if they offend the son, this little thing will be handed over to Luozhong, where do you dare to bother the son, I don't know what the son is called, what is the purpose of coming to our Ancheng Bofu?" The housekeeper Luo Zhong didn't know Yu Xiao's identity, so he was a little low-key and modest in what he said and did, and he also had a little respect for Yu Xiao, but he knew that this rare capital was full of powerful people, and it was not something that Ancheng Bofu could provoke.
Yu Xiao wanted to talk to Luo Zhong for a while, but when he saw the sun almost overhead, he was deflated, it was not early at this hour, he and Luo Kun had not set off yet, and he didn't know if he could come back tonight, so he didn't care about Luo Zhong's housekeeper anymore.
"My son, Yu Xiaoxing, doesn't change his name, he doesn't change his surname, can you dog slaves remember it clearly?" Yu Xiao held his head high and spoke energetically, and kicked the concierge next to him who didn't have time to leave, and almost pulled someone's ear and poured it in.
Luo Zhong was shocked when he heard the word Yu Xiao, and he couldn't wait to kick the bold porter to death, anyone dared to stop him, who else dared to call Yu Xiao except the little demon king in Jinghe Eldest Princess's Mansion, but he couldn't guess why he came to Anchengbo's Mansion.
"It turned out to be Gongzi Yu, and I asked Gongzi Yu to wait, and the slave immediately went to ask for the uncle and uncle." After Luo Zhong reacted, he hurriedly thought about inviting Uncle Ancheng and Luo Zhiyu, he knew his humble and lowly identity, he was just an ant in front of a character like Yu Xiao, and a character like Yu Xiao could only be dealt with by an uncle and an uncle, and he could only invite an uncle, this is a relative of the emperor, and Uncle Ancheng's mansion should be full of glory this time.
Yu Xiaocai didn't want to deal with a group of hypocritical people, especially Luo Zhi, who liked the new and hated the old, so he hurriedly stopped Luo Zhong and said, "Alas...... Alas, the housekeeper, don't go and invite Uncle Ancheng, I didn't come to Uncle Ancheng Mansion to catch up, nor did I come to chat with an old man, not to mention that I don't know them, my son is here to find Luo Kun, I made an appointment to go to the Gyeonggi camp to ride a horse yesterday, you just go and call Luo Kun out for me. β
Luo Zhong didn't think that Yu Xiao came to find the most inconspicuous eldest prince in the mansion, and he came to pick up Luo Kun on purpose, Luo Kun's position in the mansion is not prominent, from the uncle, the old lady and the uncle, down to the subordinates who are used to looking at people's eyes and seeing the wind and making the rudder ignore Luo Kun or even ignore it, the eldest prince in the mansion seems to have become a dispensable edge, and even he is not eye-catching to Luo Kun.
"This ...... The"
"What is this, do you dare to say that Luo Kun is not in the house?" Yu Xiao listened to Luo Zhong's hesitant words, and couldn't say a word for a long time, and directly blocked Luo Zhong's words in one sentence.
"The little one is going to invite the eldest prince, and invite the young prince Yu to come into the mansion to rest for a while!" Luo Zhong could only respond for the time being, he had to go to his uncle immediately for instructions, so he invited Yu Xiao into the mansion to drink tea and wait.
"Go quickly, go quickly, my son doesn't dare to go in such a broken place, it's too much to lose my identity." Yu Xiao poked his head out with disgust and looked at the scene in the mansion, and then said viciously that the specifications of Anchengbo's Mansion were not worthy of his identity, and bluntly said that Anchengbo's Mansion was too broken.
Luo Zhong smiled awkwardly, bowed to Yu Xiao and retreated, but secretly thought in his heart that this Yu Gongzi was really as rumored, too unreasonable, but so arrogant, even the Bofu couldn't look down on or even dislike how Yu Xiao got on the line with the eldest prince, I didn't think that this eldest prince with no sense of existence was actually the deepest hidden, it seems that I should consider the situation of the eldest lady and the eldest prince, and fortunately I didn't step on it every step of the needle, if it is really as I think, can I still have any way to live? The eldest lady in this is a simple house, basically not appearing in people's field of vision, and almost making everyone forget her origin, that is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, can she be played by a little concubine of the Zhou family?
After Luo Zhong thought about it carefully, he was shocked for a while, and secretly decided that if he could secretly help the eldest lady and the eldest prince in the future, he would help him, and he would see each other in the future, in case the eldest prince gained power in the future, he could also leave a way back for himself.
As soon as he thought of this, Luo Zhong's pace was also a little faster, and he arrived at An Chengbo's Bai Yuan in a moment, but An Chengbo was practicing calligraphy quietly, and ordered no one to disturb, Luo Zhong naturally couldn't enter, thinking of the * Yu Xiao that was still blocked outside the house, he was anxious, that was an impatient person, who knew when he would get angry, so he was so anxious that he paced back and forth in the courtyard.
An Chengbo had already prepared everything, and as soon as he heard the movement in the courtyard, he didn't put pen to paper, and sent the scholar next to him to see what was happening.
"Uncle, it's the housekeeper Luo Zhongluo who came, saying that he had something important to return to the uncle."
"Let him in." An Chengbo put down the wolf brush in his hand, Luo Zhong is a measured person, listening to his movements should be an urgent matter, he immediately put aside the unimportant things in his hands, and decided to deal with the important matters and write two good words.
"The little one asked the uncle to say goodbye, disturbed the uncle's tranquility, and Luo Zhong asked the uncle to punish him." Luo Zhong respectfully saluted An Chengbo, An Chengbo attaches the most importance to these false courtesies, no matter how urgent the matter is, he does not dare to forget the rules, otherwise An Chengbo will definitely remember it.
"Get up, what's the matter with you, tell me, it's so urgent." An Chengbo still felt a little unhappy in his heart, because Luo Zhong disturbed his tranquility.
"Uncle, Gongzi Yu from the Eldest Princess's Mansion came to find the eldest prince to go to the Gyeonggi camp, and the younger one couldn't make up his mind, so he had to come to ask the uncle." Luo Zhong deliberately said that he was the son of Jinghe's eldest princess's mansion, so that An Chengbo not only knew who it was, but also knew what kind of identity it was.
