Chapter 102: Marriage proposal
Liu Liyue is talented and intelligent, if he sets foot in the officialdom, he will definitely be able to pay homage to the prime minister. Thinking of this, she also seemed to have some regret for preventing Liu Liyue from getting involved in officialdom.
But it was only for a moment, she was still willing to watch Liu Liyue spend her life in peace, spread out for their family, and continue the bloodline of the Liu family. Therefore, she thinks that Liu Liyue is destined to have no chance with the powerful and is destined not to marry such a noble girl.
Mrs. Shi's words made Liu Liyue begin to waver.
Sima Guansheng is so outstanding, so gentle and beautiful, so kind-hearted, she is worthy of marrying the best and most powerful man in the world. And he is just a cloth dress, and the only thing he has is true feelings.
After some inner struggle, he still strengthened his original intention.
I once made a vow to Miao Yi to "be a couple for a lifetime", if at this time, I broke my trust with her, wouldn't I have become a merciless person. I don't know if Miao Yi is waiting to be a bride at this moment, or if she is as anxious as me, looking forward to me going to the rescue.
"Grandmother, the ambition of the bird, the bird's nest? The grandson and Miss Sima are happy with each other, and they are in love, and they have already promised each other for life. And she is not the kind of pampered person, she was born to her biological mother, and she lives cautiously at home. Pure and kind-hearted, not enemies of others. It is a person who can share the joys and sorrows, and the grandmother puts her heart back in her belly. Liu Liyue spoke well for Sima Guansheng in front of Mrs. Shi, hoping that she would not have prejudices against Sima Guansheng.
When Mrs. Shi heard this, she sighed, shook her head helplessly, and said: "Yue'er, you are still inexperienced, and you don't know people but faces!" ”
"Grandmother, you love Yue'er the most, can you bear to watch Yue'er regret it for life, and you can't love it?" Liu Liyue hugged Mrs. Shi's arm and began to be coquettish to win love.
……
After a lot of verbal whirling, in the end, Mrs. Shi reluctantly agreed, and was ready to go to Sima Mansion with a thick old face.
She nodded, and Liu Liyue couldn't wait to drag her to prepare a visit gift, and took the liberty of going to Sima Mansion early the next morning to disturb her.
Liu Liyue is also inexhaustible, he has no intention of dressing up, he knows that Sima Qu has a deep prejudice against him, even if he is a brocade and jade fur, he may not think highly of him.
The carriage arrived at the gate of Sima Mansion, Liu Liyue helped Mrs. Shi get down from the carriage, and Jiang Yuejiang's mother, who was waiting for Mrs. Shi, followed closely with the gift box.
The group walked to the gate, and Liu Liyue took the initiative to knock on the door.
After a long time, the door slowly opened, and it was Ye Jinkang who came to open the door. When he saw Liu Liyue, his face was full of surprise and stunned, and he opened his mouth wide to speak.
Liu Li retreated behind Mrs. Shi with more interest, and Mrs. Shi said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I am the widow of the late Marquis Wei Jue, the Marquis of Zhongyi, and Mrs. Shi Zhuojun of the First Order, came to visit Mrs. Fu Yin, and I was also bothered to report to the future generations. ”
"Your lord waits, the slave will go back quickly." When Ye Jinkang heard this, he was a noble lord again, so he hurriedly bowed his head and hurriedly went to report.
Within half an hour, Ye Jinkang came to invite Mrs. Shi to enter the door. Not only did he not prevent Liu Li from entering the gate of Sima Mansion, but he also made it clear that the Lu family let him go with him.
When Mrs. Shi was about to enter the door, Liu Liyue let go of the hand holding her arm and stopped.
Seeing that he was stopped, Mrs. Shi frowned and shouted, "Yue'er, what are you doing in a daze?" Come in with my grandmother. ”
"Grandmother, Yue'er won't go in, just wait outside for good news, no matter what the result is, Yue'er thanked her grandmother first, and worked hard for her grandmother to go through this experience for Yue'er." With that, he turned and went back to the carriage.
Old Madam Shi didn't dissuade her much, led Jiang Yue, followed behind Ye Jinkang, and walked towards the Lu family's Tingxue Pavilion.
Liu Liyue put her hands on her chest and leaned on the corner of the carriage. At this moment, he was nervous in his heart. He seemed to have an unpredictable prophet and knew that this trip was just a superfluous move, but he still deceived himself and bothered Mrs. Shi to make such a trip.
He especially wanted to see Sima Guansheng, to know what she wanted, whether she was willing to wait, and whether she still had high hopes for their future. This is also the reason why he refused to enter with Mrs. Shi openly, if he entered in a grand manner, he would definitely not be able to meet Sima Guansheng.
He was racking his brains to think of countermeasures, and wanted to meet Sima Guansheng in private.
Soon after Mrs. Shi entered, he got out of the carriage alone and walked towards the back alley of Sima Mansion.
He thought that if he really couldn't find a way, then he would really be a gentleman on the beam again, and climb over the wall to steal the meeting.
When I walked to the back door of Sima, I happened to meet a delivery guy pulling a cart of vegetables, chickens and ducks. When he was a child, he often sneaked in through the back door to play with Sima Guansheng, so he often met these little food delivery guys. This little guy he knew, it was Xiao Li who delivered food to Sima Mansion.
He had an idea, thought about it, hurriedly stepped forward to stop the little guy, and asked with a smile: "Little brother, you have to send this vegetable and meat to Sima Mansion?" ”
The little guy picked up the sweat towel on his shoulder, and while inserting the beads of sweat on his forehead, he responded, "So what? Isn't it? ”
When Liu Liyue heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out some broken silver, grabbed the calloused hand of the little guy, stuffed the broken silver into his palm, and said with a smile: "Little brother take it and drink a pot of wine to relieve fatigue, can I help you deliver this vegetable and meat?" ”
The little guy looked at the broken silver in his hand, his face was full of disdain, and he glanced at Liu Liyue with slanted eyes and said: "You are right, I have more than these silver in this cart of dishes, you are bullying me for not reading much, you can't settle accounts?" ”
"Little brother, you misunderstood, you just need to take me into the Sima Mansion, the money for the meat and vegetables is still yours, I don't want any of it."
"There is no way to enter the main gate, and I have to find such a way to see the light, and I must not have any good intentions. Come, take it, I don't want to get into trouble with your few pieces of silver. The little guy was full of disgust, stuffed the broken silver in his hand back into Liu Liyue's hand, neatly put the sweat towel on his shoulder, and pushed the cart to prepare to leave.
Seeing this, Liu Liyue was anxious, grabbed the handrail of the board car hard, forcibly stopped the little guy from moving forward, and said hurriedly: "Little brother, don't worry, I am not doing anything bad, and I will never affect you." ”
The little servant no longer bothered with him, forcibly wrenched his hand, and pushed the cart towards the door of Sima's mansion.
Liu Liyue saw that good words were useless, and a forcible plan was instantly born in his heart, he walked behind the little guy, took out the silver needle he carried with him from his wide sleeve, and stabbed it towards the little guy's faint hole. The little guy lost consciousness instantly, he hurriedly supported the little guy's body, dragged the little guy to the alley next to him, changed into the little guy's coarse cloth clothes, and pushed the cart towards the back door of Sima's Mansion.
There was an old slave guarding the back door of Sima Mansion, and when he saw that the person who came was a fresh face, he asked cautiously: "You look at the face, the new arrival?" ”
Liu Liyue lowered his head as much as he could, and replied in a low voice: "Hmm! ”
"Didn't it all be sent by Xiao Li before?"
"Xiao Li suddenly fell ill and couldn't get off the bed, so I replaced him with the work."
Listen, the old slave let Liu Liyue enter the door.
He laboriously carried a basket of melons, fruits and vegetables and walked in the direction of the kitchen of Sima Mansion. Fortunately, he is no stranger to this Sima Mansion, he is familiar with everything in the courtyard, and he naturally knows where the kitchen is located.
Taking advantage of the gap in carrying vegetables and meat, he avoided the maids and women shuttling in the courtyard, sneaked into the courtyard of Lichun Pavilion, and found Sima Guansheng's boudoir with ease.
He repeated the old trick again, using the method of silver needle pointing, fixed Rushuang who was waiting at the door, and walked into Sima Guansheng's dormitory in a grand manner.
Mother Ling heard that someone had come in, and was about to look back, when she saw that it was Liu Liyue, she was instantly shocked and wanted to scream, but before she could say anything, she was stopped by the silver needle flying in Liu Liyue's hand, maintaining that angry, annoyed and surprised expression, and stood there motionless.
Time is in a hurry, Liu Liyue has no extra time to deal with Ling's mother, he can only treat Ling's mother like this.
"A, why are you ......" Sima Guansheng stood up from the soft couch, his face full of surprise and stunned.
Liu Liyue didn't care too much, and walked to Sima Guansheng in three steps and two steps, both of them with joy and excitement in their eyes that they hadn't seen for a long time.
"Miaoyi, I know that I am useless and not worthy of you. If you are willing, you can marry into the Feng Mansion with peace of mind, and I will sincerely bless you. But if you are willing to entrust your heart to me, I will try to help you out of your present dilemma, and I will never fail my old vows. Liu Liyue knows that he is not as good as others, rather than making the hearts of people who are happy unwilling to suffer with him, it is better to fulfill the other party and let the other party find a good match, he does not want Sima Guansheng to have a trace of reluctance.
When Sima Guansheng heard this, he took off the poppy silver hairpin on his head, looked at the silver hairpin in his hand with affection, hesitated for a moment and said: "Aji, if you don't give up, I will never leave, even if the sea is dry and rotten, I will not be with you." ”
With Sima Guansheng's words, Liu Li felt much more at ease.
Sima Guansheng was still so desperate, as a seven-foot man with strong blood, he had no reason to find any excuse to retreat.
"Miao Yi, thank you for being willing to entrust your sincerity, you wait, I will definitely think of a way to marry you. You don't need to worry too much, I have my own way to solve the dilemma in front of you. I took the opportunity to sneak in, and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so I'm leaving, so take care of yourself. With that, he hurriedly turned around and left, leaving Sima Guansheng unfinished.
He estimated that the food delivery boy was about to wake up, and if he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, he had to fight quickly and leave quickly.
The result of Mrs. Shi's door-to-door proposal was naturally politely refused.
This time, the Lu family did not discuss with Sima Qu, and immediately rejected Mrs. Shi on the grounds that Sima Guansheng had a marriage contract. She knew very well how much Sima Qu didn't want to see Liu Liyue, even if Feng Fu repented of the contract, Sima Qu would never marry Sima Guansheng to Liu Liyue.
With Liu Liyue's oath, Sima Guansheng finally felt a lot more at ease, no longer sad every day, and waited for Liu Liyue to come from the boudoir alone.
Time flies, and soon it will be a once-in-a-century prosperous spring song water flow meeting. It is now in the spring of March, a hundred flowers are vibrant, the spring is just right, it is a good time to step into spring, it can be said that the time and place are favorable.
Sima Mansion is also a famous family in Luoyang City, and it is on the invitation list of the event.
