After Xu Dong took Liu Shilang into the courtyard, he immediately returned to the house, and found Liu Ya, who was still grooming, and said: "Madam, my father-in-law came to the house alone, and I don't know what he is here for!" Do you want to go out and have a look! ”

Liu Ya was also shocked when she heard Xu Dong's words, looked at him and said, "My father? What did he come to do? Didn't he say he didn't recognize me as a daughter? ”

Xu Dong thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because King Wei is about to leave Chang'an, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the initiative to come." ”

Liu Ya's brows furrowed when she heard this, in the past few months after getting married, Liu Ya's progress has been rapid, he quickly accepted the new world for her, and also knew that satisfaction was to use the power of the people to put pressure on her father, and in the end, the reason why her father did not pursue it was very simple, everything was something she was willing to do, in the eyes of the people, she and Xu Dong had been in love for many years, even if her father repeatedly obstructed her, as long as she and Xu Dong were in love, even if there was no order from her parents, the words of the matchmaker, I can also marry into Xufu.

And now that his father took the initiative to come to Xu's Mansion, at least it proves that he and Xu Dong still have status in his heart.

Thinking of this, Liu Ya tidied up her clothes, pulled Xu Dong and walked to the hall, Liu Shilang was walking back and forth in the hall, and seemed to be in a state of anxiety.

Seeing Liu Ya's beautiful appearance, holding Xu Dong's arm and walking over, Liu Shilang immediately said when he saw Liu Ya coming over: "Daughter, tell me about you, why don't you know how to go back to the door when you become a parent, I haven't seen my daughter for a few months, you have gained a little weight, it seems that my son-in-law has not treated you badly!" ”

Liu Ya saw her father with a smiling face, which she had rarely seen before, but she was not a bully, in the past three months, she realized that her father was just a small person, and her husband would definitely have a better future than her father in the future.

Liu Ya said to her father: "It's really a little busy these days, I don't have time to go back and see, fortunately, the two families are not far away, if my father has to be free to come and see his daughter, my daughter is also content!" ”

Liu Ya's words were like a reassuring pill, which made Liu Shilang breathe a sigh of relief, what he was most afraid of was that his daughter directly questioned him, and even didn't recognize himself, now it seems that Liu Ya didn't mean that.

Liu Shilang smiled again, looked at Xu Dong and Liu Ya and said, "It's been three months since you two got married, Ya'er's belly is improving!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two of them were a little red, but Xu Dong still said honestly: "Not yet, but don't worry, tell me that Ya'er is the most suitable to have a child at her current age, and you can give birth within three years, and your father-in-law doesn't have to worry!" ”

Hearing Xu Dong mention Satisfactory, Liu Shilang hesitated for a moment, but then continued: "You have a good relationship with Lieutenant Chengxin, right?" Have you heard him talk about the court recently? ”

When Xu Dong heard Liu Shilang mention his satisfaction, he immediately cheered up, for fear of saying something wrong.

Xu Dong didn't speak here, but Liu Ya took over the words, looked at her father and said: "Father laughed, the relationship between the husband and the lieutenant is superior, how could he talk to the husband about the affairs of the court, not to mention that since he came back from the disaster relief, the lieutenant has been running the business outside the palace, and he didn't care about the affairs of the palace at all, and my father is embarrassed by his words!" ”

Xu Dong saw that his wife answered his father-in-law, and immediately nodded and said: "Yes, father-in-law, I haven't seen him for a long time, I heard that his teahouse has a new story of "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties". ”

Seeing that the two of them were reluctant to answer him, Liu Shilang also sighed and said: "Yes, the old man has also heard about this matter, and he is really the dragon and phoenix among the people, and now he has a share of the most profitable shops in Chang'an." ”

Xu Dong also immediately said when he heard Liu Shilang's words: "Well, Xiangxin is indeed very talented in making money, and my father-in-law is here to ask me about making money?" ”

Liu Shilang was choked by Xu Dong's words, and at this time he couldn't care about face, looked at the two of them and said: "You two know that the old man was originally in the camp of King Wei, and it was because of this reason that the two of you were prevented from getting married before, but now it seems that the old man is clumsy!" ”

Liu Shilang's words surprised Liu Ya and Xu Dong, and in their opinion, Liu Shilang was such a proud person, and now he was actually exhausted by the fact that King Wei was about to leave Beijing.

However, Xu Dong looked at Liu Shilang and said, "Father-in-law, what do you mean by this, let's just say it, as for what you thought before, it doesn't seem to matter now, does it?" ”

Liu Shilang sighed, looked at the two of them and said slowly: "Then the old man will tell you the truth, since the king of Wei announced in the court that he took the initiative to leave Beijing, the old man and some other officials who were originally towards the king of Wei are now at a loss, since you were in the prince's camp before, the old man hopes that you can talk to His Royal Highness the prince, the old man will switch to his camp in the future, I hope he will not deal with me!" ”

Hearing Liu Shilang's words, Xu Dong smiled, but Xu Dong still explained to Liu Shilang: "My father-in-law is too worried, and I have always told me that we are not from the prince's camp, we are just working under His Royal Highness the prince, and our hearts are loyal to the emperor, you must know that our official positions are all from the emperor, not from the king of Wei or the crown prince!" ”

Liu Shilang has a feeling of being educated, but these big vernacular words are not clear to him, and who in the court will not know this fact? Why did everyone choose the prince who was supported by the team itself?

Liu Shilang had no choice but to say: "The old man knows what you mean, but the old man still hopes that you can bring this to His Royal Highness the Prince, and the old man will not go against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inside and outside the court in the future, what does the virtuous son-in-law think!" ”

Xu Dong looked at Liu Shilang with a look of disbelief in himself, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Father-in-law, today I am going to see Chengxin and His Royal Highness the Prince, do you want to go with you?" ”

Liu Shilang was a little surprised when he heard this: "Is there anything important to discuss today?" If I go rashly, it won't make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unhappy! ”

Xu Dong looked at Liu Shilang and said as a matter of course: "It's nothing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has nothing to do in the past few months to go out of the palace to get a script for the emperor, and today should be no exception, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not rested for several nights because of the noisy emperor's grandson in the past few days, and it is estimated that he will rest and make up for sleep in Yufengzhai this afternoon!" ”

Liu Shilang was even more stunned when he heard Xu Dong's words, and said with a surprised face: "The emperor and grandson are still in the East Palace? Didn't you get picked up by the emperor? ”

Xu Dong didn't hesitate when he heard his father-in-law's question, and replied directly: "No, the crown princess is reluctant to let the emperor and grandson leave, and the emperor also thinks that the emperor is too young, and he is ready to wait for the emperor to take the emperor over in a few years!" ”

Liu Shilang looked at Xu Dong with envy and said: "I didn't expect that the virtuous son-in-law knows so much about the royal affairs, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very important to you!" ”

Xu Dong scratched his head and explained with some embarrassment: "These are all things that I said to me, my relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not so good!" ”

Liu Shilang thought deeply, looked at Xu Dong and said: "Don't spread these words, it will damage the royal majesty!" ”

Seeing her father's appearance, Liu Ya also showed a strange look and said: "Why does my father think so, I have met the crown princess before, she and His Royal Highness the crown prince are very good, and the princess also thinks the story between me and her husband is very interesting!" ”

Liu Shilang was even more surprised, looked at Liu Ya and said, "You are actually lucky enough to meet the crown princess?" Did you even talk to her? ”

Liu Ya nodded, looked at Liu Shilang and said with a smile: "Naturally, I have seen it, but it is really a bit troublesome to enter the palace, if it weren't for the princess often asking me to accompany her to play mahjong, I wouldn't want to toss like this!" ”

Liu Shilang seems to have often entered the East Palace when he heard his daughter's meaning, and he has also repositioned the relationship between the prince and them.

Xu Dong, who was on the side, also asked curiously after seeing Liu Shilang's face: "When my father-in-law worked with King Wei before, didn't he rarely go to King Wei's mansion?" ”

Liu Shilang saw his son-in-law asking, and he didn't hide it and said bluntly: "Although the old man has worked with the King of Wei for many years, he has only a handful of people who go to the palace of the King of Wei. ”

Xu Dong was also a little surprised when he heard his father-in-law's words, and he asked with some curiosity: "Why is my father-in-law so estranged from King Wei, and I heard from me before that King Wu and those courtiers under him also met secretly, why not be above board!" ”

Liu Shilang didn't speak yet, but Liu Ya on the side said: "That's naturally because they know that what they are doing is not a good thing, if they are doing good things, who will carry people behind their backs?" ”

Liu Ya's words were like a knife that stabbed into Liu Shilang's heart, and her daughter, who was originally not good at words, now learned to stab a knife.

After eating a hearty breakfast, Xu Dong took Liu Shilang and went straight to Yufeng Zhai, and on the way, Liu Shilang also said curiously: "Don't you have to go to Hanlin Academy to order so-and-so?" ”

Xu Dong looked at his father-in-law with a curious look and immediately said: "Although the son-in-law has an official position in the Hanlin Academy, he is actually doing things under the subordinates, and now I will go to the Mo family of the Ministry of Industry when I have time, except for helping Xiangxin deal with some things on weekdays, I don't need to go to the Hanlin Academy to do duty, and my monthly money is allocated from the East Palace, so I don't have to worry about being deducted because I don't go to the Hanlin Academy!" ”

Speaking of this, Xu Dong looked at Liu Shilang with some curiosity and said, "Father-in-law, doesn't you have to go to the palace to be on duty today?" How did you think of this time to find your son-in-law? ”

Liu Shilang looked at Xu Dong with a bitter expression and said, "The old man has been on leave if he is unwell for the past few days, but the old man doesn't have your benefits, and the money will still be deducted these days!" ”
