Chapter 447: Settle on a family affair
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Liu Xiu didn't know who Guo Chang was, he shook his head slightly. Liu Yang sighed and said with a sad face: "Mr. Guo is the sister-in-law of this king, Ah Weng of Shengtong. ”
Guo Chang was born in a famous family, and he is very famous in Zhending County and even in Zhongshan County.
At that time, he gave up inheriting the million-dollar family business and gave it all to his younger brother, which caused a great sensation in the local area, and people praised Guo Chang's benevolence and virtue.
Liu Yang's sister also took a fancy to Guo Chang's character and married him.
Later, Guo Chang served as an official in the county government, and once achieved the county merit.
It's a pity that Guo Chang fell seriously ill when he was in the prime of life, leaving a widow and dying. After that, Liu Yang took his sister and Guo Chang's child Guo Shengtong to his palace and was raised by him. Liu Yang is not bad for Guo Shengtong, a niece, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as his own. It's just that the psychology of the little girl is much more sensitive than that of adults, and the aunt and even the subordinates are like reminding her of the slight differences between her and the Liu Keyan sisters
With her, she is not a genuine daughter in the palace, she is not the princess in the palace, she is just a lady under the fence in the palace.
Guo Shengtong didn't want to live such a life, she always wanted to leave the palace, but her uncle kindly adopted her and raised her so much, she really couldn't bear to break her uncle's heart.
This time, Liu Yang decided to marry Liu Xiu, and the Liu Keyan sisters refused to marry Liu Xiu with a tough attitude, which made Guo Shengtong keenly aware that his opportunity to leave the palace had finally come.
And after some observation just now, she found that Liu Xiu was not just a good skin, although he was young, he was full of talent, and his joy and anger were invisible, and he had a maturity and generosity that his peers did not have.
In terms of heart, Liu Xiu is also very much in line with the image of Guo Shengtong's ideal husband. Because of these two points, she ignored the reserve of the girl's family, and Mao recommended herself and offered to marry Liu Xiu.
Liu Yang told Liu Xiu about Guo Chang's life and deeds, and in the end, his words naturally fell on Guo Shengtong.
He said: "Shengtong was brought up by this king since he was a child, this child, he was sensible when he was young, and when he grew up, he was even more gentle and virtuous, and he was a wife, and he will definitely become a virtuous helper!" ”
Liu Xiuyou listened carefully to Liu Yang's narration, his eyes fell on Guo Shengtong's face, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Guo Shengtong looks similar to Yin Lihua's age, and in terms of actual age, she is only one year younger than Yin Lihua.
Because she was too quiet, Liu Xiu didn't pay much attention to her just now, but now when she looked carefully, she found that Guo Shengtong was very beautiful, which was different from Yin Lihua's kind of beauty that made people feel amazing and thrilling at first sight.
Her beauty is the kind of beauty that is soft like water, at a glance, it seems that she is just a beautiful little beauty, but the more she looks at it, the more she will feel charming, and the more she looks at it, the more she feels that it is incredibly beautiful.
To say that what made Liu Xiu most curious about her was her self-recommendation just now. It is unbelievable that a little girl dares to take the initiative to propose to a strange man she met for the first time, and it is enough to shock anyone's jaw.
At the same time, Liu Xiu became more and more interested in her, trying to figure out what kind of person she was.
Seeing Liu Xiu looking at Guo Shengtong with deep eyes, the latter lowered his head slightly, and gently pinched the hem of his skirt with his fingertips, Liu Yang coughed dryly, stood up, and said, "Virtuous nephew, you sit here for a while, this king will go and relieve himself!" ”
As he spoke, he said to Guo Shengdao: "Shengtong, greet the great Sima on behalf of my uncle!" ”
"Yes!" Guo Shengtong's face turned red and he responded. Liu Xiu got up and arched his hand to Liu Yang.
Seeing Liu Yang walk away, Liu Xiu's gaze fell on Guo Shengtong's little face again, and asked, "Miss Shengtong has seen me before?" ”
Guo Shengtong was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "The little woman has never seen Da Sima before!" ”
Liu Xiuxiao asked, "Then how did Miss Shengtong know that I would be your good match?" ”
Guo Shengtong said: "Although the little woman has never seen Da Sima, she has heard a lot of legends about Da Sima. ”
"Oh?" The smile on Liu Xiu's face deepened, and she said casually: "Miss Shengtong, tell me, have you heard any legends about me." "It is rumored that Da Sima is kind-hearted, loyal to the monarch and considerate of the people. At the beginning, Liu Lin originally supported Da Sima, and also proposed to Da Sima the idea of bursting the embankment of the river and flooding the east of the river, but Da Sima did not accept Liu Lin's proposal, so
Liu Lin switched to support Wang Lang. ”
Liu Xiu poured two cups of tea, put them in front of himself and Guo Shengtong, and asked with a smile, "Is there anything else?" ”
Guo Shengtong cautiously asked, "Is this true?" ”
Liu Xiu said quietly: "The river burst and flooded the east of the river, but there are not only red eyebrows in the east of the river, but there are millions of innocent people. It is against heaven to treat human life as grass mustard in this way, and pigs and dogs are not as good. ”
In this matter, Liu Xiu did have a clear conscience. But he never imagined that more than a thousand years later, someone would really do this, causing the horrific tragedy of the embankment bursting at the mouth of the garden. Guo Shengtong looked at Liu Xiu with bright eyes, and secretly said in his heart, it turns out that this matter is true! She continued: "I have also heard about the Battle of Kunyang, which Da Sima fought. Da Sima led 3,000 warriors and defeated 400,000 reckless troops, like a god descending to earth!
”
Liu Xiu smiled and asked, "Does Miss Shengtong know what 10,000 people are like?" ”
Guo Shengtong didn't understand why he asked this, and said inexplicably: "Yes...... A big crowd of people! ”
Liu Xiu said: "If there are more than 10,000 people, it is already boundless. If 10,000 people fight one person, there are only a dozen or twenty people who can really reach this person, and the rest of the people are just staring around. ”
This explains why he was able to take 3,000 men and defeat 400,000 reckless troops. At that time, he was not fighting against 400,000 people, but he was facing the 10,000 people led by Wang Yi and Wang Xun.
Although it is not easy to defeat 10,000 with 3,000 men, it is far from being as mythical as 3,000 to 400,000.
Guo Shengtong is very smart, after listening to Liu Xiu's explanation, she immediately understood what he meant, she snorted out laughing, and said: "Da Sima Ken clarified this matter in front of Shengtong, which shows that Da Sima is worthy of the title of a gentleman!" ”
Liu Xiu took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said: "Miss Shengtong lost her father when she was young, and she has lived in the Zhending Mansion for many years, which is indeed inconvenient. ”
Guo Shengtong looked at Liu Xiu in surprise and didn't say anything for a long time.
Liu Xiu is extremely smart and very good at perceiving people's hearts. Guo Shengtong's self-recommendation did shock Liu Xiu at first, but after calming down and thinking about it, he could guess a thing or two about Guo Shengtong's thoughts.
Thinking about it, she probably wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to marry herself and leave the Zhending Palace, a place where she could send people under the fence. In other words, the person who came today is herself, she will marry, and if it is replaced by a cat and a dog, she will also marry.
Liu Xiu felt that Guo Shengtong's approach was too aggrieved by herself, if she really wanted to leave the Zhending Palace, and it was difficult to speak, she could help her with this, and she didn't need to marry her.
Guo Shengtong was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Liu Xiu meant, her body was shocked, and she said: "Shengtong is sincerely willing to marry Da Sima!" ”
Looking at the firmness in her eyes, Liu Xiu was puzzled and asked, "Why?" ”
Guo Shengtong's face flushed, and he lowered his head and whispered: "If Da Sima is not a person who can impress and impress Shengtong, Shengtong will never delay his life in order to leave the palace." ”
Her voice grew quieter and quieter, and by the end she couldn't even hear herself.
Liu Xiu looked at Guo Shengtong intently, and after a long time, he nodded slowly and said, "Miss Shengtong's intentions, I understand, I will propose to King Zhending and marry Miss Shengtong as his wife!" ”
When Guo Shengtong heard this, his heartbeat accelerated, and he subconsciously raised his head and looked at Liu Xiu. Looking at his dark and deep eyes, she unconsciously fell into them.
Liu Xiu and Guo Shengtong stayed in the pavilion for half an hour, and Liu Yang, who went to 'relieve his hands', came back happily, seeing Liu Xiu smiling, while Guo Shengtong was shy and timid, he already knew in his heart that this matter was done!
At this time, Liu Yang wanted to pat his head hard, why did he only think of his daughter at the beginning, but he didn't expect Shengtong? Now that I think about it, there is no more suitable candidate for marriage than Shengtong.
Marriage with the same clan, after all, this is easy to say and not good, it is inevitable to be talked about, but Shengtong is different, she is a foreign surname, and marrying Liu Xiu can save a lot of truth!
Liu Yang asked with a smile on his face: "It seems that the virtuous nephew and Shengtong have a good chat!" ”
Liu Xiu glanced at Guo Shengtong, who was too ashamed to raise his head, stood up, and arched his hand to Liu Yang and said, "King Zhending, Xiu is willing to marry Shengtong as his wife!" ”
Liu Yang was overjoyed, and hurriedly held Liu Xiu's arm, because of the excitement, his voice became trembling, and asked, "Is this really what the virtuous nephew said?" "Really!" "That'...... Restrictions: Don't call me King Zhending anymore now! ”
When Liu Xiu heard this, he immediately changed his words and said, "Uncle! ”
Liu Yang laughed, rubbed his hands together with excitement, and said: "This happy event, sooner rather than later, virtuous nephew, how about getting married this month?" ”
Liu Xiu had no objection and said: "Xiu is a junior, everything is up to my uncle!" ”
Liu Yang was even happier when he heard this, stroked his palms and smiled: "Okay, good, this king is a person, choose an auspicious day of the zodiac!" Also, this king will choose a big mansion for his nephew in Zhending City! The best house! ”
Liu Yang wanted to marry Liu Xiu, and after he chose to stand on Liu Xuan's side, he could be guaranteed.
Liu Xiu took a fancy to the more than 100,000 troops of Zhendingguo, which was very important to his anti-Lang cause.
And Guo Shengtong not only fell in love with Liu Xiu at first sight, but also was willing to take this opportunity to leave the Zhending Palace and no longer live under the fence.
For this political marriage in which interests are greater than feelings, it can be said that the three of them are very satisfied, and they are all happy.
No one expected that Liu Yang, who wanted to marry a daughter, eventually married his niece Guo Shengtong. Naturally, the news soon spread to the backyard. At this time, Liu Keyan and Liu Kexin were comforting her in Liu Keqing's room. Liu Keqing has not stopped her tears since she returned to her room, crying while complaining: "Since I was a child, my father has never reprimanded me, why did my father scold me so angrily in public as soon as Liu Xiu came?" Is it to the Father
As far as Wang is concerned, I'm not as close as him Liu Xiu? ”
Liu Kexin comforted: "Father is just putting on a show, and my little sister shouldn't take it to heart!" ”
Liu Keyan frowned and said, "Little sister was indeed a little too much just now. ”
"Even the eldest sister, you say that about me?" Liu Keqing's tears flowed even more fiercely, and he sobbed and said: "The poem "Xiang Mouse" is obviously taught to me by you, eldest sister!" ”
But I didn't let you say it! Liu Keyan sighed secretly. While they were talking in the room, a little maid hurriedly ran in, and said excitedly with a happy face: "It's settled!" The family affair is settled! ”
"What's the matter?" The little girl's brainless words confused the three sisters.
"Yes...... It's Liu Xiu's family affair that has been decided! The little maid said happily. The faces of the three sisters changed at the same time, Liu Keqing stopped crying, sat up from the bed, and asked, "Who is set?" The two sisters, Liu Keyan and Liu Kexin, also looked at the little maid intently, with a nervous face.
