Chapter 16 The first beauty in Yangzhou

Under the hexagonal pavilion in the middle of the courtyard, there were several plates of melon and fruit snacks, and a man in official uniform sat with his back to them. Looking at the way he looked down in thought, I didn't know what he was thinking.

"Master, my aunt is here." The old butler stepped forward and spoke softly.

"Thank you, old butler." The man stood up and turned. I saw that this man was in his forties, short and lean, with a dark and thin face, a short beard on his chin, and a sparkling gaze. Although he doesn't have the spirit of a big man standing up to the sky, he also looks majestic and inviolable.

"Who are you? What is your name? Who else in the family has ever been married? ”

The old man looked Li Shuangxi up and down, left and right for a long time. Li Shuangxi is dressed as a scholar, with clear eyebrows, white teeth and red lips, and a white gown, worn on top of his tall figure, although old, but clean and tidy, giving people a comfortable feeling. The old man nodded, and seemed to be quite satisfied with Li Shuangxi's appearance, so he naturally asked softly with a smile.

"The villain is a person from Tongshan County, Hubei, named Li Liuxuan, his family is in the middle of the road, and he has lived here, and there is no one in the family anymore, and he has never been married." Li Shuangxi replied.

This answer obviously made the old man on the other side very satisfied, and he looked Li Shuangxi up and down, left and right again. It can be seen that although he is a bit 'Lalang match', he doesn't want to marry his daughter casually.

"Is Miss here?" When it came to Miss, I don't know why Li Shuangxi's heart jumped wildly, this was a feeling he had never had.

"Miss said that she listened to the master's arrangement for everything, as for the uncle, she had already seen it just now, it depends on the master's meaning."

"Yes, when did she see it? This girl is really getting bolder. The girl who was asked said this, but it made the old man embarrassed.

"Come, sit, I'm really embarrassed, my girl is really getting more and more unpleasant to be spoiled by me."

Seeing the young lady come out, Li Shuangxi was a little disappointed, but he felt that a big stone in his heart had been released.

Sitting on the stone bench, Li Shuangxi also began to look at the old man, this black and thin appearance, he seemed to have seen it in some history book, but he couldn't remember who it was. Shangshu Mansion on the gate of the house... Could it be that this person is a national hero, and the history of the military department is still the law? I really didn't expect that a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty would be reduced to the point where he couldn't even keep his daughter, which is really embarrassing.

"Dare to ask, you are Shi Kefa, Master Shi." Li Shuangxi was stared at by Master Shi again, and he felt furious in his heart, so he could only find a topic to divert the other party's attention.

"Didn't the old butler tell you who I am?" The old man was asked so suddenly, and his face became slightly embarrassed.

"Yes, sir, my uncle doesn't know who you are?"

"Old butler, how can you do this? I told you, you must tell others frankly, if people don't know that I am Shi Kefa, and you deceived me, which will cause others and family members to be affected in the future, you make me feel at ease! ”

"Master, what you are talking about..."was scolded by Master Shi, and the old housekeeper could only bow his head and remain silent.

"Li Gongzi, you know who I am now, you regret it now, you are in a hurry, I Shi Kefa will definitely not force it."

Seeing Shi Kefa bow his head to himself, Li Shuangxi was a little embarrassed.

This Shi Kefa is indeed upright, but it's a pity that he is too loyal. ’

Li Shuangxi thought in his heart, and hurriedly returned the salute with his fists.

"Master Shi, who is upright and cares about the people, is a model for my generation, and the younger generations are afraid that they can't climb high, where do they dare to mention the word regret. It's just..."

"Just what?" When Shi Kefa heard 'uncle', he did not regret his marriage because he was Shi Kefa, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

"It's just a late life, I just saw the portrait of the young lady, but I haven't seen the true face of the young lady, I don't know..."

"Yes, yes, Li Gongzi is right, although it is the order of his parents and the words of the matchmaker. However, you should still be allowed to meet each other. Old butler, go and call the young lady out. ”

"No need to scream, Miss has already come out." The old butler was about to leave, when the maid standing next to him suddenly raised her head and called out in a low voice.

Several people were surprised, only to see a young girl walking out of the rockery not far away. Dressed in elegant green clothes, slender and flexible, fragrant skin and jade skin, lightly swept eyebrows, a pair of sheared water eyes, looking forward to circulation, amazing, such a look and temperament, even if you look at the entire Yangzhou City, it is rare for a woman to be comparable to it.

"Are you going to see me? No one is forcing you to marry me, and it's too late for you to regret it now. The voice is like a yellow bird out of the valley, even if the tone is blameful, it makes people listen like a heavenly sound.

Li Shuangxi's heart began to beat wildly again, and his face didn't feel red to the root of his ears.

"Childe, my young lady is the first beauty in Yangzhou City, you really picked up a treasure." The old housekeeper saw Li Shuangxi's embarrassment, so he could only whisper in his ear.

"Fei Xue, you really don't look like a girl, how can you talk to your future father-in-law like this?"

Shi Kefa saw that the scene was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly played a round.

"Dad, how do you help outsiders talk?" was robbed by her father, Shi Feixue pursed her mouth and sprinkled coquettishly.

"Daughter, how can this be an outsider? He'll be your husband soon. Master Shi said with a smile.

"Hey, let me tell you, we're a fake marriage, don't think too much about it."

'Fake marriage! Did I hear me right, it turns out that there was a fake marriage hundreds of years ago? ’

When Li Shuangxi heard that it was a fake marriage, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but there was obviously an inexplicable disappointment.

"Master Shi, this is too child's play."

"I know I wronged you Li Gongzi, I was also forced by that Ma Shiying to have no choice, and afterwards, I will definitely reward you heavily."

Shi Kefa saw that Li Shuangxi's face had changed, and quickly explained.

"Master Shi..."Li Shuangxi thought to himself that you are going to treat me as a 'duck', although your family is rich, you can't 'insult' me like this.

"Li Gongzi, don't worry, according to the laws of our Ming Dynasty. Although you are a temporary fake marriage, you are a real husband and wife in reputation, and if you don't divorce her, she will always be your wife, and you can't marry someone else. ”

Li Shuangxi looked at Shi Kefa in front of him with a helpless face, a dignified minister of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, but he could only ask for help in such a low voice. Looking at the slim Miss Shi not far away, she should have been a lady of the sky, but she could only be strong on the outside, her eyes that wanted to welcome and refuse, intentionally or unintentionally dodged Li Shuangxi's gaze, which clearly made people feel all kinds of weakness and expectation in her heart.

"Master Shi, I promise you," Li Shuangxi replied categorically.
