Chapter 637: The Past
As soon as Li Yao's words came out, the entire living room fell silent, everyone's expressions became a little subtle, and Li Zhengjie had coldness in his eyes.
For a long time, no one in the hall spoke, and Li Yao understood that there might be something unpleasant in this, so she didn't continue to ask.
It wasn't until it was time to go to bed at night that Li Yao put her arms around Guan Xinyue's waist and asked, "Mother, has my uncle not married yet?" ”
In ancient times, if you were unmarried at this age, you would not be an older leftover man.
Guan Xinyue nodded, and then gently pinned the hair scattered in front of Li Yao's forehead behind her ears, before she sighed and said: "The Li family is all extraordinary, familiar with the art of war, and more martial arts to become generals, go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, protect the family and defend the country, only your uncle, abandoned martial arts and followed literature, and left Wenju, there is still a story in this." ”
Li Yao's eyes immediately lit up with heartless gossip, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the story?" ”
The lights in the room had not been extinguished yet, and as soon as Guan Xinyue lowered her head, she saw the excitement flashing in Li Yao's eyes, and she couldn't help but glance at Li Yao angrily.
"Your uncle, there was once a childhood sweetheart named He Qingwan."
"He Qingwan?" Li Yao blinked, remembered something, and said: "I heard Aunt Qiao Hui say that when the imperial doctor of the dynasty is surnamed He, what does this He Qingwan have to do with Lord He?" ”
"You have a good memory, this He Qingwan is indeed the eldest granddaughter of Lord He." Guan Xinyue said.
"Uncle gave up Wu Congwen because of that He Qingwan?" Li Yao's eyes widened and asked.
Those who can be the imperial history doctor, presumably the degree of Chinese is not low, and it is estimated that it is not easy to look at the people who dance and play with guns.
Guan Xinyue nodded, and said: "The He family likes to read people, and your uncle has been determined to take the literary examination since he was a child, but your uncle is also a reading material, no, it should be said that your uncle is a civil and military all-rounder, if you are willing to be more motivated, your father's achievements may not be able to catch up with him." ”
Li Yao glanced at Guan Xinyue with some surprise, she didn't expect Guan Xinyue's evaluation of Li Zhengjie to be so high, didn't she secretly complain to her a few days ago that Uncle Hang'er Lang didn't grow up, and her feelings were angry.
Guan Xinyue continued: "When your uncle was sixteen or seventeen years old, he passed the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination all the way, and won the Jinshi. ”
"Wow! Uncle is so powerful! Li Yao couldn't help but marvel.
Guan Xinyue nodded and said: "It's so powerful, I was thinking about the title of the gold list, and it was time to go to the He family to propose marriage, but the result was ...... Hey, your grandmother suddenly died at that time. ”
Speaking of this, Guan Xinyue sighed again, and then continued: "Your grandmother was very sick that time, but she didn't survive it later, and she was sick for two or three months, and then left...... When the parents pass away, those who are children according to the rules must observe filial piety for three years, and your uncle's marriage will be delayed. ”
Li Yao was silent when he heard this, and then said: "Then now that the filial piety period has passed, how can you ......?" ”
Wasn't this all four or five years ago, why is Uncle still single?
"It's such providence, not long after your grandmother died of illness, Zhao Guifei asked for a marriage for the eldest prince, and He Qingwan was given to the eldest prince as the princess, and since then she has nothing to do with your uncle." Guan Xinyue pursed her lips and said.
"Huh?" Li Yao wiped a handful of sympathetic tears for her uncle in her heart, and then she remembered something, and asked again: "Then He Qingwan is voluntary?" Or was it forced? ”
She thought that according to her uncle's temperament, if He Qingwan was unwilling to marry the eldest prince, he was afraid that he would go to the heavenly family. "Princess Nongmen: Your Highness, don't send it slowly!" The latest chapters of "Paw Book House" are free to read for the first time.
