In Gaoyou Li Mansion, a graceful woman hurriedly broke into Li Chenghui's study, and said excitedly: "Husband, I went to the temple today to ask for a marriage sign for Xin'er?" Guess how the marriage sign is solved? ”

Li Chenghui lowered his head, did not stop the pen and ink in his hand, and replied casually: "How to solve it?" ”

The graceful woman said with a radiant look: "The master in the temple said that our Xin'er will be precious in the future, and she has the destiny to become a princess!" ”

"That's it!"

Li Chenghui responded indifferently, although he is a salt merchant, he has also read a lot of books, agrees with the saying that 'the son is silent and the power is chaotic', and does not believe in the so-called 'marriage is determined'!

The graceful woman was on the rise, and she didn't realize the meaning in Li Chenghui's tone, and said to herself: "I heard that King Wu is only eighteen years old and has not yet been married, and King Wu is quite fond of her husband, do you think we want to find a matchmaker to go to King Wu's mansion to meet?" ”

"Hulai!" Li Chenghui finally couldn't bear it anymore, turned his face flat, and reprimanded: "Marriage is a big deal, and it has its own etiquette rules, how can there be a reason for a woman to take the initiative to come to the door to propose marriage?" Besides, I don't know if King Wu has the idea of marrying our family, it's all your wishful thinking, if King Wu doesn't look down on our Xin'er, how do you want Xin'er to be a person in the future, it's not appropriate, it's not appropriate! ”

"Husband, you're thinking too much, aren't you?" The graceful woman shook her head disapprerovingly, stared directly at her husband, and said, "Who is King Wu?" The princes of one side, sitting on the land of the four provinces, have countless tigers under their command! What about our family? Gaoyou Haojia? Got a fart? Counting through Gaoyou Mansion, how many are looking at us? The little boy of the Xu family who served as the county magistrate of Gaoyou? Or is it the old puppet of the Han family who serves as the chief bookkeeper of Gaoyou County? Or Xu Zhao, Wu Huang, and Hao Jian? ”

The more the graceful woman spoke, the more energetic she became, dancing with her hands, and the spit star splashed Li Chenghui's face. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Nope! When these people look at our family, they are all squinting, a few days ago, the Xu family came to propose, I thought that the little boy of the Xu family had opened up after serving as the county order, but as a result, he actually wanted Xin'er to be small! Or the concubine of the seventh room! Is it tolerable or intolerable? ”

"Okay, okay, what are you doing with all these old things?" Li Chenghui knew the knot in his wife's heart, he wiped his face, and persuaded gently: "Say the right thing, say the right thing!" ”

There is still a huge gap between the scholars (including the families who have been officials for generations) and the wealthy merchants, which Li Chenghui knows very well in his heart, so after Gaoyou's 'change of dynasty', he also wants to get rid of the simple identity of the wealthy merchants, so he will take the initiative to visit Deng Yu.

"Husband, I just can't get angry......"

The graceful woman hummed dissatisfiedly for a while, and then turned back to the previous topic: "Even these hillbillies in Gaoyou County look down on us, what is the identity of King Wu?" After all, it's for Xin'er? Our Xin'er is both talented and beautiful, and King Wu is a young man, so ......"

"Not necessarily!" Li Chenghui shook his head noncommittally.

"Husband, do you mean King Wu...... Want money? "The graceful woman is not stupid, although the daughter is beautiful, but the Li family is more famous for being rich, and the husband's concerns are indeed reasonable.

Li Chenghui nodded and added, "Madam, can't you see it yet?" King Wu came from a humble background and had no view of the door, maybe he just wanted to recruit me as an official and solve the difficulties of the salt industry franchise for him, or King Wu was short of money and food for his foreign expeditions, and wanted to get some help from my Li family. ”

Speaking of this, Li Chenghui paused slightly, replayed the scene with Deng Yu for the first time in his mind, and then sighed: "Madam, King Wu is ambitious and has the world in mind, how can he take beauty to heart?" ”

Li Chenghui's words were like a basin of ice water pouring head-on, and most of the graceful woman's enthusiasm was extinguished, but her temperament was quite stubborn, so she muttered unwillingly: "That's not easy to say, men should get married, women should marry, anyway, they are all small, why not marry Xin'er to King Wu, needless to say, such a heroic son-in-law can't be found with a lantern!" ”

"Oh, ma'am, what shall I say of you?"

Li Chenghui pointed to the graceful woman, with a crying and laughing expression: "Don't you understand it now?" I mean, King Wu may not look down on our Xin'er at all, if the door-to-door proposal is rejected, how will you let Xin'er behave in the future? Even if it is for the sake of helping her husband and money and food, you reluctantly agreed, do you want to let Xin'er stay alone? ”

The graceful woman was dumbfounded, "How can you not look down on it?" Our family Xin'er is talented and good-looking, and has a good reputation in Gaoyou and even the entire Huaidong! ”

When Li Chenghui heard this, he sighed and said: "King Wu is about to succeed, his achievements are not limited to the throne, even a country may be in control, such a noble princess Wu, how can a businessman's family have a luxury?" Only the martial ministers under the command of King Wu, as well as the 'princesses' of other princes, are qualified! ”

"Besides, you don't know Xin'er's temper, she is usually soft and weak, but her temperament is stubborn, if you know that we are like this...... Maybe there's going to be some kind of mess! ”

"So, what now?" The dream fell through, and the graceful woman was completely dumbfounded.

Li Chenghui spread his hands: "What else can I do?" Wait, if it's really that blessing......"

All kinds of things about this, in recent days, have also troubled Li Chenghui, he only has a general idea now, far from being mature, he wanted to discuss it with the graceful woman to improve it, but before he could organize the language completely in his mind, suddenly, a crisp sound came from outside the door.

"Smack!" A plate, a few bowls, shattered all over the ground in the wind.

"Who?" Hearing the sound outside, Li Chenghui immediately shouted angrily.

The Li family has no status in the officialdom, but it is a pivotal role in the shopping mall, and what they are most afraid of in business is to leak the news and be stolen by the opponent to steal business information.

When the husband and wife were discussing confidential topics, the steward of the house was not qualified to participate at all, and ordinary people were strictly forbidden to come within twenty steps of the study.

Therefore, the Li family's secret outsiders had no chance to eavesdrop at all, let alone the mistake of breaking the vessel in fright.

No one responded outside the study, only the wind swept through the door.

"Who's out there, get in here!" Li Chenghui took off the sword hanging on the wall and jumped to the door with one arrow step.

"Master, madam, it's a slave maid...... A weak voice sounded, and Li Chenghui and his wife recognized it as Dongmei, the maid next to their daughter.

"Dongmei, why are you here?" Li Chenghui pushed the door open.

"Back to the master, slave maid, no, the young lady heard that the master was busy in the study for a day, so I went to the kitchen with the slave maid to bring some ginseng soup!" The little girl was very timid, holding back the tears in her eyes, and replied in a trembling voice.

"As soon as the young lady and the slave maid arrived here, the young lady took the ginseng soup from the slave and the maid, and prepared to enter the door herself, and then, and then the slave and the maid saw the tray, and the tray fell from the young lady's hand to the ground, and then, and then the young lady ran away crying!" Dongmei's voice was intermittent, but it was like a needle, piercing the hearts of the two of them.
