11. Li Han's proposal

Yongxuan's words once again opened up the careful thinking of Yanran's daughter's family, she already understood a little bit, Li Yi is different from her and others, Li Yi is not her own brother, and they are still different from Shurui. However, how old she is now, Li Yi is about to reach the age of marriage, and Yan Ran is at a loss for a while.

On the tenth day of the first month, Ziyu's family went to Shanxi with Xia Wenchang, and they were very busy for a few days, after the first month, it was Shurui their examination, Ziqing didn't expect that Shurui was actually ordered to explore flowers, and both nephews and uncles were pointed to be Tanhua at the age of eighteen, and it was a good story in the country of Gale for a while.

Wen Xing and Luo Haoyan are both Shu Jishi, even Yongsong also took the exam for a Shu Jishi, Mu Mu Zhong has a Tongjinshi, the son of the Fu family is also a Tongjinshi, and Yongrong's husband is also a Tongjinshi. This year, the Zeng family is really a happy year, and Grandma Luo hinted that Ziqing can come to the door to propose.

All this excitement, Yan Ran didn't have much interest, the question she has been struggling with is, when she grows up, whether Li Yi has already married, whether she wants to marry Li Yi is too late, Yan Ran thought of this question, she felt a little sad for no reason, but she is already ten years old, this question can't be asked directly by Li Yi like when she was a child.

Ziqing noticed that Yan Ran was a little abnormal, this day, she was finally busy with the marriage ceremony between Shu Rui and Luo Chuchu, thinking that she hadn't talked to Yan Ran for some days, and seeing that there were always people in her yard, she took a piece of needlework and found Yan Ran's yard.

Ziqing lifted the curtain and went in, Yanran was lying on the kang table to draw a pattern, Qing saw that it was a pair of men's shoes, and she knew a little in her heart, her daughter was older, and some things couldn't be stopped.

Liang, why did you have time to come over today? Seeing Ziqing coming in, Yanran hurriedly got off the kang and stood up.

Ziqing touched Yanran's head and said, "When the mother comes to see her daughter, do you want to see if she is free?" ”

Mama Hua saw that Ziqing probably had something to say to Yanran, so she took a few big peaches down.

Ziqing picked up the pattern on the kang table and asked, "Who is this for?" ”

"Brother Xiaoyi." Yan Ran knew that she couldn't hide it, so she told the truth.

Ziqing took Yanran's hand and sat down, and said, "Child, you are also ten years old, don't you know that these shoes and socks can't be made for outsiders at will?" You've also read a lot of books, so you should always understand what you teach and receive privately, right? ”

Yan Ran raised her head and said: "Mother, Brother Xiaoyi and I have been good since childhood, from childhood to adulthood, Brother Xiaoyi gave me something that I am afraid that a box will not fit my mother, you don't know this, what do you mean by saying this now?" ”

"What do you mean? What do you mean by what my mother wants to ask? Since the beginning of the Chinese New Year, my mother has always seen that you are depressed, and you don't act like a ten-year-old child. ”

When Yanran heard this, her face turned red, and she rolled into Ziqing's arms, "What's on people's minds?" What is my mother suspicious of? ”

Ziqing rubbed her daughter's face and said with a smile: "Yo, whose daughter is this who lied and even her face was hot, and she still refused to admit it?" ”

"Mother, you're laughing at people again." Yanran refused to look up in Ziqing's arms.

"Good boy, tell my mother, but for your brother Xiaoyi?"

"What else do you ask if my mother knows?" Yan Ran lowered her head and said in a muffled voice.

Ziqing lifted Yanran's head, "Look at my mother and tell my mother, do you really like Brother Xiaoyi?" ”

Ziqing felt that it was a bit of a stretch to say this to a ten-year-old child, but there was no way for her daughter to grow up and have her own thoughts, and she couldn't stand by as a mother.

"Mother, what's the use of liking me, Brother Xiaoyi should also marry, right?" Yan Ran was a little sad.

"Silly boy, since you know that people are going to marry, what kind of shoes and socks do you give to others?"

"But, he said he only wanted to wear what I made."

"Then who said that your brother Xiaoyi was going to marry? Hasn't he been coming to see you a lot lately? You didn't ask him? ”

"Mother, why are people embarrassed to ask this?"

When Ziqing heard it, she dared to love this child who was really trapped by love, she thought a lot at a young age, she was only ten years old, she was still empty, Ziqing was really a little messy.

Ziqing thought for a while and asked tentatively, "You also know the identity of your brother Xiaoyi, right?" If he wants another woman, will you still want him? ”

"Mother, what do you mean by another woman?" Yan Ran looked up and asked.

As soon as Ziqing heard this, Yanran still didn't understand the matter of the little wife, so she changed the topic and said: "Mother means that you are old every year, and you can't hold Brother Xiaoyi's hand like you did when you were young, or let him hold you and carry you, otherwise, outsiders will know about it and spread it, and your reputation will be ruined, remember what your mother told you, and, these things, make less for him in the future, your father knows, and is still jealous, saying that he hasn't worn the shoes you made." ”

"Didn't Daddy say that he only wore what his mother did? Brother Xiaoyi doesn't have a mother, Sister Ling is married so far away, Brother Xiaoyi is the only one who can help

"What nonsense? The maids around him have, where do you need to worry about these? ”

The mother and daughter were talking, and Lin Kangping came in, "I've been looking for you for a long time, I used to hide here and talk to my daughter about myself, what can't I hear?" ”

"Dad, my mother said that my father was too hypocritical, and he only wore the needlework that my mother did." Yanran winked mischievously at Lin Kangping.

Lin Kangping pinched Yanran's little face and said with a smile: "You're bad, even my father and mother dare to arrange it, little thing, come, daddy hug, see if my baby daughter has grown meat?" ”

As soon as Yanran heard this, she pounced on Lin Kangping's body, and only then did she talk to Ziqing for a long time, and her mood finally improved a lot, she couldn't find anyone to say these words, Yongxuan knew a little, but Yanran was worried that they would laugh at her, and her daughter's family always had to hide it secretly.

The three of them were arguing in the house, and at this time, Shen sent someone to say that Shen Jianshan really wanted to go home, Ziqing heard it, and rushed to Lin Kangping. °

Li Yi hadn't come to see Yanran for a few days, and the queen had taken a fancy to Li Yi about a family affair and was telling the emperor.

Li Han glanced at Li Yi's pleading gaze, and said, "This child's family affairs, let's talk about it in two years." ”

The queen naturally didn't follow when she heard it, the elder brother above Li Yi, but he got married at sixteen, this Li Yi is married this year, and it will be next year to get married, and if it is delayed, it is time to delay the younger brothers and sisters below.

Li Han listened and said: "Then it's up to you, let's decide on the family first, but let him make his own decisions about this family matter." He has a girl he likes, so you can fulfill him. ”

"What the emperor said is the girl of the Lin family? Isn't it only ten years old? ”

Li Yi likes Yanran, and the masters in the palace know about this, but they don't pay much attention to it, after all, Yanran's background is too low, but this will, when the queen heard that Li Yi was going to marry Yanran, she was a little suspicious in her heart.

Reasoning, the Lin family is not deep-rooted, so it shouldn't be able to help Li Yi much, this emperor's intention is to marry the Lin family's girl, didn't he give up Li Yi? Or is there some other conspiracy?

If you want to say that the women in this palace have been in this palace for a long time, they will only do one thing, that is, calculating, and the women in this palace have nothing else to do, there is a lot of time, and they are not used to calculate others, how to spend this day?

The emperor spoke, and the queen had to agree if she didn't agree, but when Li Han went out, he said, "You just need to take care of the dowry and bride price used by the marriage, and you don't have to worry about anything else." ”

The queen was so angry that she twisted the handkerchief in her hand with both hands, and it seemed that there must be something wrong with this.

On this day, when I woke up in the afternoon, Ziqing was thinking about what specialties to bring back to Shen Jianshan, while Lin Kangping went to inspect the shop.

At this time, Li Yi came in, looked at Ziqing and said with a smile: "Auntie, my father is here, I have something to say to you and my aunt."

When Ziqing heard this, she asked, "Who, who did you say was coming?" ”

This Li Han, I haven't seen him for a few years, Ziqing doesn't want to see him, but this time, Lin Kangping, who is partial, has gone out again, so he can't leave a great emperor out of the way.

After Ziqing went out, she instructed Da Jiang to call Lin Kangping back, and she took Mama Hua to the study in the outer courtyard, fortunately, Wen San and Luo Chi were both there, but the expressions on their faces were a little strange

Li Han saw Ziqing and said: "Today, I am here as Xiaoyi's father today, I want to ask for Xiaoyi's marriage, I beg your daughter Lin Yanran to marry my son Li Yi, if you have any requirements, just mention it." ”

Look, the tone of this emperor is really different, and the tone of courting is different, but Ziqing didn't expect that since ancient times, how could an emperor be willing to ask for marriage as a father, who didn't look forward to flying on the branch as a phoenix? If it weren't for Lin Kangping saving Li Han twice, and the Lin family's contribution to the imperial court, not to mention that the emperor came to ask for relatives in person, whether this Yanran could enter Li Yi to make a side room or something.

However, where does Ziqing really dare to mention this condition, "I only have one condition, that is, my daughter is not young, and your son can't marry a child", can Ziqing say it? What are the consequences of speaking out?

Ziqing thought for a while and said, "Can you give a death-free gold medal first?" If you don't have a gold medal for avoiding death, it's okay to give a blank holy decree? ”

Luo Chi and Wen San listened, stood behind Li Han and snickered, this Ziqing's thinking is really different from ordinary people, and he dares to bargain with the emperor.

Li Han was stunned for a moment, and then digested what Ziqing meant, and his face changed, "You don't trust me?" When did I go back on my word? ”

When Ziqing saw it, she was also angry, and said: "I remember that the emperor made a promise to us at that time not to disturb each other, what is this?" ”

Li Yi saw it and hurriedly said: "Auntie, this is not what my father meant, it is what I mean, auntie, don't you hurt Yi'er?" Auntie, I said that I would be good to my sister, first set a marriage, and later, it is justifiable for me to come to see my sister. ”
