In the Li Mansion Flower Hall, a wine banquet has already been placed. After Yue Su and Li Wenzhang's father and son entered the hall, they sat down separately. Because it was the father-in-law who watched his son-in-law, he didn't find anyone else to sit with, and it was all regarded as a family banquet. Fang Congzhe was also not present, it was not that Li Wenzhang was not invited, but that the two of them had agreed and would not show up for the time being.

After doing it, Li Wenzhang had to take a closer look at Yue Su first, and saw that Yue Su was dignified and talented, and he had a sense of righteousness in his bones, and he liked it very much. After a polite moment, Yue Su said: "Thank you for your kindness today, this official is here today, first, to thank Li Gong for donating 100,000 stone of disaster relief food to the imperial court, and second, to ask for something." ”

Yue Su is not a person who is too good at beating around the bush, he came here today, there is indeed something, and it is best to mention it before eating.

Li Wenzhang was stunned, and said secretly in his heart: "This kid won't come up and plan to propose, right?" ”

Then he smiled kindly: "I heard that Lord Yue is commensurate with the dog brothers, then he is not an outsider, what is the matter, although he said, there is nothing to ask for." By the way, Lord Yue, don't call Lao Yu Li Gong in the future, it's too much to see the outside, if the adults don't give up, call Lao Yu an uncle. ”

Yue Su hurriedly arched his hand and said, "This is the best, the little nephew will not be informal." ”

"Bingyan...... Okay, good, good ......" Li Wenzhang laughed heartily, and then said: "Bingyan, what do you have to tell the old man." ”

"That's right, now that the victims have gathered on both sides of the Yellow River, it is estimated that in a few days, the people who had fled will also return, at least two or three hundred thousand. Although my uncle said that he was willing to donate 100,000 stone of grain, I estimate that it was still not enough, and he needed to buy a large number of stones, not to mention 200,000 stone. Therefore, the little nephew wanted to buy another 200,000 stone of grain from his uncle. Although it is summer now, it is almost autumn, and in a few months, the weather will turn cold, and many of the victims' homes will be destroyed. Naturally, in terms of silver, everything is easy to say, and I hope that my uncle will help me. Yue Su said politely.

That's what you begged me for!

Li Wenzhang's previous joyful mood was swept away, but he still maintained a pleasant face and said: "Food is a trivial matter. The 100,000 stones that the old man promised before had been sent 30,000 a few days ago, of which 20,000 were planned to be transported to Huaiqing first, after all, there was not much food in Huaiqing City now. The remaining 10,000 can be delivered tomorrow. Another 90,000 stones, 40,000 stones will arrive in half a month, and the remaining 50,000 will not take a month. In the morning, I will send someone back to Huguang to collect another 200,000 stone of grain, but I am afraid that I will not be able to collect it until after the autumn harvest. But the winter clothes that the adults say, I'm afraid it will take some time, and they should be ready after the autumn. In terms of silver, the old man will never earn a penny from the court. ”

The imperial court's disaster relief is not once and a half, and Li Wenzhang has never heard of buying winter clothes for the victims. has that money, and if the official doesn't put it in his pocket, he's too sorry for this official position. Since this son-in-law has been chosen, he has no choice but to help, who makes his daughter like it, and the emperor is important.

"Then the little nephew will thank his uncle on behalf of the court and the victims. However, my uncle is a businessman, and it is really inappropriate if he does not earn a penny. At that time, the little nephew will buy according to the market. ”

After finishing the matter, Li Wenzhang saw that Yue Su had no follow-up, so he said to himself: "Bingyan, my little girl was too stubborn, and I am really grateful to have been taken care of by you back then." Seeing that Yue Su didn't mention his daughter, Li Wenzhang decided to mention it himself.

"Uncle is polite, Ling Hao is smart and kind-hearted, and the little nephew can make friends with her, which is really a blessing for three lives." Yue Su said.

Bingyan said this, don't be heard by that girl, otherwise she will get carried away again. You don't know, my precious daughter, smart is smart, and she has never used it in the right place, but she is kind-hearted, and it is true. Just playing with a surname, it can really anger someone, I really want to find someone to discipline me well. When Li Wenzhang said this, he changed his words, and said with a smile: "At home, the little dog and this girl can talk the most, listen to him, this girl is extremely appreciative of Bingyan......

Speaking of this, Li Wenzhang raised his eyes and looked directly at Yue Su. These words couldn't have been more direct, and Li Wenzhang almost turned around and proposed to Yue Su. But he is a high-ranking family, and he still can't afford to be cheeky about such things.

With such direct words, how could Yue Su not understand. But after all, he is a modern man who is reborn, not to mention the concept of monogamy in his heart, but in his heart, he doesn't want to marry other women. He and Li Lan have a deep relationship, and when he married Ruan Aoyue in desperation, he already felt ashamed of Li Lan, how could he marry her again.

Although he has a good impression of the little brother "Li Ying", it is not the love of men and women after all.

For a while, Yue Su didn't know how to answer.

Li Wenzhang and Li Yuanchen both stared at Yue Su, waiting for his answer. Behind the screen, there was another person, waiting for his answer, and this person was Li Qiongying's mother. After the old lady left her daughter's room, she immediately rushed to the flower hall, because now Yue Su was a foreign guest, and it was inconvenient to see each other, so she came in from the back door of the flower hall and hid behind the screen.

Yue Su finally coughed dryly and said, "This ...... Linghe...... I'll take the order ...... Just when...... Younger sister...... Same ......"

When he usually tried cases, he was also sharp-toothed, iron-toothed and steel-toothed, but when it came to this issue, he didn't even speak. After a long time, it was not easy to finish a sentence.

As soon as he heard that Yue Su only regarded Li Qiongying as his sister, Li Wenzhang's face immediately became ugly. But after all, he is an old and spicy person, and he is still as usual in the blink of an eye. He just wanted to change the topic and reconcile the awkward atmosphere in the flower hall. However, at this moment, I heard a crisp voice outside the flower hall, "Brother Yue......"

There is a lot of emotion in this voice. There is the pain and lovesickness of longing, and the joy and excitement of reunion after a long absence.

Yue Su was extremely familiar with this voice, he took a moment, stood up, and turned to look out of the door. At this moment, there is an extremely familiar figure standing outside the flower hall, still dressed as a scholar's son, still so quiet and delicate.

"Brother Yue......" Tears flowed from the eyes of Wensheng Gongzi, and the emotions and thoughts that had been suppressed for several years were finally vented. She rushed towards Yue Su quickly, came to Yue Su's side, hugged Yue Su tightly, and shouted loudly in a voice that could no longer tell whether she was crying or laughing: "Lord Yue, I want to kill you...... I want to kill you......"

Don't look at the father and younger brother on the side, but the feelings that have been suppressed for many years will make people lose themselves once they break out. It seems that at this moment, there are only two people in heaven and earth, himself and Yue Su.

Yue Su stood in place, letting Li Qiongying hold himself to death, his heart was extremely complicated now, and he didn't know what to do now.

Li Wenzhang and Li Yuanchen were also a little stupid when they saw this scene, both father and son are people with superior minds, and they don't know what to do when they encounter such emotional things. It doesn't seem appropriate to stop it out loud, and it doesn't seem good to let it go.

After a long time like this, Li Qiongying's crying finally stopped, and she said with grievances: "Brother Yue, in the past few years, I have been thinking about you all the time, and I want to go to you. But my father just won't let me go out, and today I finally let me see you again. I will never leave you again. ”

"Virtuous Brother...... I—I miss you too......" Yue Su said with some embarrassment.

"I knew you would miss my ...... too," Li Qiongying said with tears in her eyes. Originally, she had a thousand words she wanted to say to Yue Su, but she could see it, but suddenly she forgot all the words she wanted to say before. All that left was excitement in my heart.

"Ahem, ahem......"

Li Wenzhang may really can't stand it anymore, and coughs heavily.

Li Qiongying heard her father's cough, and then she reacted, she was too out of shape, let go of Yue Su, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and said shyly: "Hello to my father......"

Li Wenzhang waved his hand and said unhappily: "Excuse me." Sit down and eat. ”

My daughter is here, so I can't drive her away.

Li Qiongying nodded obediently and wanted to move the chair to the side. There were only three chairs placed next to the table, and Li Wenzhang didn't let his subordinates serve in the hall because he wanted to talk to Yue Su about his daughter.

At this time, Yue Su hurriedly said, "Brother Xian, you sit on mine." As he spoke, he ran to the side in a few steps and brought a chair himself.

The next dinner was dull and abnormal, Li Qiongying was no longer embarrassed to take the initiative to talk to Yue Su, and Yue Su was even more embarrassed, and Li Wenzhang's father and son didn't know what to say.

After dinner was hastily over, Yue Su said goodbye and returned home, Li Qiongying intended to follow, but it was inconvenient for her to say, so she followed behind silently. Li Yuanchen saw what his sister meant, and deliberately said in front of Yue Su: "Sister, you don't have to send it, Brother Yue will come over tomorrow, and you will talk about it then." ”

Li Qiongying saw that her mind was broken by her younger brother, so she had to hang her head shyly and said, "Then Brother Yue, I won't send it, you must come over tomorrow." ”

Yue Su nodded and said, "I will definitely come." ”

Yue Su left the Li Mansion, Li Qiongying, accompanied by the maid, returned to the back garden, and Li Yuanchen was called to the study by his father.

As soon as he entered the study and sat down, Li Wenzhang said directly: "Yuanchen, what do you think of tonight's events." ”

"My sister loves Yue Su deeply and is bent on marrying him, which anyone can see. As for Yue Su, I saw that the moment my sister hugged him, he was also moved. If you say that you don't have any affection for your sister, it's impossible. I thought that in time, the two of them would be able to get married. Li Yuanchen said with certainty.

"Well...... Li Wenzhang nodded and said, "I think so too." Looking at his expression when he said that he only regarded Qiong Xuan as his sister, it can also be seen that he is running away from something, not that he really doesn't like Qiong Xuan. Just ......"

"Father, just what?" Li Yuanchen asked.

"It's just that Yue Su now has a wife, and your sister can only be a flat wife if she marries him. My Li family is a famous family after all, and it is enough to make people laugh if my daughter is not a wife. Also, if I mention it like this today, Yue Su will not react, so I can't let my Li family take the initiative to propose to him. If you let the two of them go with the flow like this, I don't know what year and month it will drag on. ”

"Father, you are worried about this. My son has already thought of an idea here, which can not only let my sister marry Yue Su in a beautiful way, but also make our Li family go to the next level. After Li Yuanchen finished speaking, he actually laughed proudly.
