Chapter 253: Courtship (2)
In the bedroom, the old lady Shangguan was in a daze at the willow tree outside the window, and when she saw her husband walking in, she said: "At that time, she was still so young, and she grew up in a blink of an eye, and she unconsciously reached the age of marriage."
"You just found out!" The old man patted her on the shoulder and said, "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't worry about her so much, I think the child next to her is very good, and he will definitely be able to protect her safety."
"Alas," the old lady Shangguan sighed and said, "How can this matter be said to be relieved, if it is discovered, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"But we can't, stop her for a lifetime, she should always get married when she is old, and we can't protect her for a lifetime, it's better to find someone who is more reliable, if there is really that day, we can also protect her."
"But that kid is still so young, can he protect Begonia?"
"Didn't you hear him say that he can help our Shangguan family solve a big problem, this is even Baoshan's problem, if he can solve it, either there is another master behind him, or his own strength is strong. No matter which one is always good, even if it can't solve the big problem after it is still hot, it is always not a problem to keep her life worry-free. ”
"Looks like you're very much in favor of this family business."
"Don't you want your children to marry sooner?"
"Father, Mother, have you rested?" Shangguan Hanche's voice sounded outside.
The old man Shangguan smiled and said, "Han Che is here, let's ask him, he knows more than we know."
Old Madam Shangguan nodded and raised her voice, "Come in!"
"Han Che has seen his father and mother." Shangguan Hanche said with a smile: "I knew that my father and mother must have something to do and wanted to ask me, so I came here in person."
"You're smart." The old man Shangguan scolded with a smile: "Since we know that we have questions for you, then we will definitely know, what are we going to ask you?" Tell me for yourself, so we don't have to ask you. ”
"Yes, Dad." Shangguan Hanche sat down and said, "Mo Li, a general of the imperial court, became famous in a battle with the barbarians a few years ago. When Xiyue was messing around in the rivers and lakes, Begonia met her. There has been a love affair between the two of them, but Mo Li didn't know the identity of Begonia, so he once left away. Xiyue saw that the two of them were very suitable, so she often created opportunities for the two of them to be alone. When Xiyue was arrested for the last time, Mo Li was also at the scene, and at that time, the scene was out of control, and Begonia had an accident and was saved by Mo Li. I don't know why, Mo Li knew the identity of Begonia, and Begonia had different feelings for him. Because he has a life-saving grace for Begonia, I didn't pull her back with me this time. Shangguan Hanche was simple and clear, and in a few words, he recounted what happened.
The old lady who sang looked at her son and asked worriedly: "Xiyue has always been messing around, we don't believe it when she says it is suitable, do you think the two of them are suitable?"
Shangguan Hanche was silent for a moment and said, "This time I have the same opinion as Xiyue, and I also think that the two of them are very suitable."
Old Madam Shangguan sighed, and Old Man Shangguan continued: "How much do you know about Mo Li?" Do you think he'll be nice to Begonia? ”
"Although I have only met him a few times, although there are only a few faces, I can see that he is a single-minded person, and he will not let Begonia suffer, and with me, if he dares to let Begonia be wronged, I will not spare him."
The old man Shangguan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Parents can't accompany you for a lifetime, they can only rely on you to support each other."
"Let's go," the old lady of Shangguan raised her hand to interrupt what Shangguan Hanche wanted to say, "Go and arrange a dinner, we will have a good meal in the evening, I want to observe this young man carefully to see if he can bring happiness to Begonia."
"Mother, you don't object." Shangguan Hanche exclaimed in surprise.
"The reason why your mother is against it is just that she is afraid that Haitang will suffer, since you and Xiyue are optimistic about this person named Mo Li, we parents must always take a good look at it." The old man Shangguan said softly: "Go and listen to your mother, go and arrange a dinner."
Shangguan Hanche immediately got up to say goodbye, and as soon as he walked out of the room, he asked someone to pass the word to Shangguan Haitang.
The dinner came as scheduled, and the juniors sat down at the table early. When he saw the two elders coming together, he immediately stood up and saluted.
The old man Shangguan said with a smile: "Sit down, this is a family banquet, there is no need for so many courtesies."
The obedient people sat down in turn.
The old lady Shangguan didn't look at it, just picked up the vegetables and ate them slowly, and everyone looked at each other.
The old man of Shangguan beckoned everyone to eat, and everyone began to move. Single-minded, while eating, guessing what the old lady meant.
The old lady of Shangguan took a piece of fish, put it in the bowl of the begonia and said: "I know that you like fish the most, be careful of the thorns, every time you eat fish, you swallow it with a gulp, and you are always crushed."
Shangguan Haitang was stunned and picked up the fish and stuffed it into his mouth, Mo Li didn't care if his behavior would be rude? The eyes quickly grabbed her hand holding the fish. Let her put the fish in her bowl, carefully pick out the thorns and put them back in her bowl, and say, "Now you can stuff it in your mouth as much as you like."
Shangguan Haitang's face suddenly turned red, and he picked up the bowl and put rice in his mouth. Shangguan Xiyue covered her mouth on the side, her face flushed with laughter. It turns out that the second sister also has such a cute side, and she really didn't find it before. You must know that the second sister never took the initiative to eat fish before, and I don't know if she had a grudge against fish in her previous life, and every time she ate fish, she would be stuck.
The old man nodded and said, "Are you willing to pick a thorn for her for a lifetime?"
Mo Li smiled and said, "As long as she wants to eat, I can help her pick a thorn at any time." There was tenderness in his eyes. He didn't say a lifetime, a lifetime is too long, and he is a general, maybe one day he will die on the battlefield, so a lifetime is not suitable for him, but he is willing to grasp every day now.
Shangguan Haitang was moved to reach out from under the table and pull him, his eyes shining.
"Who knows if you're just talking." The old lady of Shangguan said: "Maybe it will be a different thing if it is far away from our sight, what will we do if Haitang is wronged at that time."
"I won't let her be wronged, and Begonia is not the kind of woman who has been wronged and doesn't say a word." Mo Li paused, touched his head embarrassedly and continued: "Moreover, I don't necessarily have to beat her, if she doesn't bully me, I'll thank God Amitabha."
As soon as these words came out, the younger generation laughed one after another, and even the old man Shangguan laughed very happily.
The old lady Shangguan didn't smile, but still looked at him very seriously and said, "Women always have a few days of weakness every month."
Mo Li also looked back at her seriously: "I know, I will take good care of her in those days."
"How can you, a man, know those things about women?" Old lady Shangguan. Squinted at him.
"Today's emperor is my friend, he is a person who spoils his wife like his life, we deliberately went to ask the imperial doctor together," Mo Li looked back at Shangguan Haitang and said: "I am willing to swear that in my lifetime, I will do my best to love her and take care of her."
"Even if there is any difficulty in the future, it is very likely to kill you, and you will never abandon her!" The old lady of Shangguan said.
Shangguan Haitang just wanted to speak, Mo Li took her hand and said, "Even if I die, I will protect her."
Old Madam Shangguan stood up and said, "Don't forget what you said today, if you don't do it one day, no matter the ends of the world, my Shangguan family will never let you go, even if I am not there, and Han Che, he will not let you go."
Shangguan Hanche stood up and said, "I, Shangguan Hanche, swear that if Moli is a little sorry for Begonia in the future, the ends of the earth will definitely seek justice."
"And me, and me," Shangguan Xiyue stood up and said, "Brother Mo, I will also keep an eye on you, and you are not allowed to be sorry for my sister."
Shangguan Haitang couldn't help crying, Mo Li hugged her, took a deep breath and said, "I am willing to accept everyone's supervision."
The old lady of Shangguan sighed, pulled Haitang out of Mo Li's arms and hugged her, touched her hair, and said softly: "Don't blame my mother for being unkind in the afternoon."
Shangguan Haitang cried and shook his head, speechless. She had never cried like this, even when she was alone, she didn't cry like she was speechless like now.
"Okay, don't cry, it's a happy event." Old Madam Shangguan said with a smile: "If you don't want to get married, your mother can keep you for two more years, we are not in a hurry."
"I didn't want to." Shangguan Haitang said vaguely.
Shangguan Xiyue smiled on the side: "It turns out that the second sister will cry like this, Brother Mo, are you very distressed!"
Mo Li scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly, even if he was distressed, he couldn't say it.
Everyone looked at his expression and knew that they must be distressed, if it weren't for the fact that the elders were there, they were afraid that they would have held Begonia in their arms and coaxed them, and they all laughed kindly.
"Begonia, I hope my mother's decision is not wrong."
It wasn't until everyone's emotions calmed down that Shangguan Hanche asked, "You said you have a way to solve the problem of the Shangguan family, what is the solution?"
"The treasure is in the palace, it can be taken out at any time, and when the time comes, the world will be announced, and the crisis of the Shangguan family will disappear without doing anything."
"How do you know the whereabouts of the treasure?"
"Yun Xiao is the daughter left by the princess of the previous dynasty, so she has the key to finding the treasure." Shangguan Haitang explained.
Old Madam Shangguan frowned and said, "Have you found the princess?"
Shangguan Haitang and Mo Li glanced at each other and said, "She is now the princess of the dynasty, and she will be crowned queen in a few days."
"What?" The old lady of Shangguan exclaimed, "Doesn't the emperor know her identity today?"
"Yes."
"How could the ministers agree to it after knowing that it was still sealed?"
"Yun Xiao's identity has not been disclosed, so he doesn't know anything, and the emperor doesn't mind."
Old Madam Shangguan rubbed her forehead speechlessly, she really didn't understand what young people were thinking now.
Shangguan Haitang took her hand and said: "Don't worry, she will definitely be very happy, and there will be no danger, because she is very smart and capable, even if someone wants to harm her, the unlucky one is often the one who hurts her."
"Are you familiar with her?"
Mo Li explained: "The two of them are very good friends."
Old Madam Shangguan patted her hand, and now she can still be good friends with the princess, which can be regarded as a kind of fate. That's it, let it go away with the wind, Qi Yang's current emperor doesn't mind, and is willing to make her the queen, then, everything should be treated as if it doesn't exist!
