As the sun set, a faint ray of sunshine softly sprinkled in the deep alleys of Qinjin Village, and several children ran out of the alleys laughing, chasing and playing, and their little faces were all blooming with happy smiles.

Liu Hao stood in front of the door of a courtyard house, his face was a little solemn, he took a deep breath, pushed the door and walked in, passed through the hanging flower door, walked through the verandah, and soon arrived at the inner courtyard.

"Young Master." An old man who was cleaning in the small courtyard saw Liu Hao stop what he was doing and said slightly respectfully.

"Uncle Jiang, where's my father?" Seeing the old man, Liu Hao didn't put on any young master's shelf, and asked with a slight smile.

"The lord and the lady are in the main hall." The old man replied slowly with an old voice.

"Hmm." In response, Liu Hao walked directly to the main hall. Their family is very big in Qinjin Village, not only has a verandah, a hanging flower door, but also an east and west room, and an east and west ear room, which is a perfect courtyard, in addition, it also shows the wealth of their family, although it is not as good as those luxuriously decorated houses in Pingyang City, but compared to the old house of Gong Qingyang's family, it is a little shabby.

In the main hall of the courtyard, a man about forty years old sat on the upper seat, wearing a somewhat luxurious robe, looking through an account book in his hand, but his brows were slightly furrowed, obviously a little worried. A woman in her thirties sitting on the side was smiling lightly, holding a teacup and tasting tea.

Liu Hao walked quickly into the main hall and saw the two people on the top, kneeling on the ground with stone bricks.

"Hao'er, what's wrong with you?" On the side above the first place, Liu Mu saw this scene, put down the teacup in her hand differently, and asked suspiciously.

"Which one is this?" On the other side, Liu's father's already frowning brows were a little tighter again, glanced at Liu Hao, and asked in a deep voice with some impatience.

"Father, mother, the child wants to marry Lin Qing as his wife!" Glancing at the man with an impatient face on the first place, Liu Hao's body trembled slightly, obviously a little afraid, but he still said in a deep and firm voice. Since he was a child, he has been strictly disciplined by this father, and he can't memorize poetry and books, so he has to be beaten by him every time.

"Which Lin Qing?" With frowning brows, Father Liu asked in a deep voice again.

When Mother Liu heard this, her face was full of smiles, and she turned her head to the man next to her and said, "It's the Lin family who sent the letter at the head of the village, I have seen that girl, she looks very good." ”

"Well, the child is going to marry her." Seeing the smile on his mother's face, Liu Hao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but the next moment, an account book flew towards him and hit him directly on the forehead, followed by the man's scolding: "I let you read, you don't read well, you want to paint, and now you want to marry the daughter of a messenger family, do you want to lose the face of my Liu family?" ”

There was a faint pain on his forehead, and Liu Hao lowered his head slightly.

"What are you doing? Speak as you speak, what hands do you move? Glaring at the man fiercely, Liu's mother hurriedly came to her son's side, and reached out to check that Liu Hao's forehead was slightly red, and it was also a wound with some broken skin.

"No matter whether my father agrees or not, how to stop it, Lin Qing, my son is married." Ignoring the pain on his forehead, Liu Hao resolutely said in a deep voice.

On top of the first place, Liu's father's chest kept rising and falling, obviously because he was not lightly angered by Liu Hao's words, and he was so angry that he was speechless for a while.

"Hao'er, I have also discussed it with your father, I want you to marry the nineteenth lady of Li Yuanwai's family in Pingyang City, although she is a concubine, but at least she can climb a little relationship, you must know that Li Yuanwai's sister is the wife of Pingyang Governor, and she is powerful. That Lin Qing, the girl is very good, you first married the nineteenth miss of Li Yuanwai's family, and then married her as a concubine, how about it? Haoer. Some felt sorry for the injury on Liu Hao's forehead, and Liu's mother persuaded him earnestly.

Miss Nineteen...... Liu Hao was a little speechless for a moment, he usually only knew that Li Yuan's family had a big business, but now he really realized that it was not an ordinary big one, there were at least nineteen young ladies alone, what about the young master?

"Concubine?" Liu Hao smiled, lowered his head and shook it slowly, his voice dripping and resolute: "Mother, I like Lin Qing, I want to marry her... I don't want to marry that so-called Miss Nineteen..."

Looking at her son, who lowered her head and was a little resolute, Mother Liu pursed her lips, but she didn't know what to say. You must know that if the current Liu family can climb up to the relationship between your foreign family, whether it is in business, or the profits and status obtained, it will not be comparable to the current Liu family.

"Get out." On top of the first place, Father Liu closed his eyes, rubbed his forehead with his hands, and said in a faint voice mixed with a hint of majesty.

Liu Hao knelt on the ground, his hand slowly clenched, the slightly sharp nails on his fingers pierced into his palm, causing a burst of pain, hearing his father's faint and majestic words, but he knelt and did not move.

"Didn't you hear? Get out of here! Some majestic roar suddenly rang out.

At the door, a maid walked in with tea, and when she heard this sudden roar, her little hand trembled, and the tea she was holding suddenly fell to the ground, and it shattered all over the ground.

Listening to this somewhat deafening roar, Liu Hao's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he knelt on the ground with his head down, and finally slowly stood up and walked towards the door...

"Pack up and go down." Looking at the shattered fragments, Liu Mu said in a calm tone.

"Yes, ma'am." The little maid's face was a little pale, and she hurriedly answered, squatted down and began to scramble to clean up the pieces.

Liu Hao walked out of the door, and then knelt down in the small courtyard again, silently bowing his head but not speaking.

Looking at Liu Hao who was kneeling in the small courtyard, Liu's mother pursed her lips and turned her head to look at Liu's father who was above the first place.

"Humph!" With a light snort, Father Liu stepped down to the first place, picked up the account book that he had thrown on the ground before, walked slowly out of the door, walked in front of the kneeling Liu Hao, raised his foot and kicked him, kicked him to the ground, and scolded: "There is a chance!" ”

Liu Hao crawled on the ground, pursed his mouth, endured the pain, and Konjac did not speak.

"Hmph." With another snort, Father Liu turned around and left here.

"Hao'er, are you okay?" Mother Liu walked quickly to Liu Hao, supported him, and said with concern.

Liu Hao stretched out his hand and pushed away the hand that was supporting him, continued to kneel, and said slowly and firmly: "Mother, I can't listen to you this time." ”

"Alas, Hao'er, why are you suffering, it's not that you don't know your father's temper, your father is gone, get up quickly, it's useless." Looking at the persistent young man in front of her, Mother Liu sighed and persuaded.

Liu Hao didn't speak, still kneeling.

"Disobedient, I'll see what you can do!" Looking at the stubborn Liu Hao, Liu's mother was also a little angry, and she didn't care about it, she got up and left.

Liu lowered his head, groaned for a long time, and opened his mouth drippingly: "Mother." ”

Hearing Didi's shout, Mother Liu stopped, turned her head to look at Liu Hao, who was kneeling on the ground with his back to him, and his voice sounded again: "I like her......"

Shaking her head a little helplessly, Mother Liu sighed secretly, turned around and left... And Liu Hao still knelt on the ground with his back straight...
