Chapter 131: Heart-to-heart



After listening to Wen An's words, Liu Dongxing fell silent, although his face was calm, but his heart was very depressed.

I see...... I see

No wonder after detaining the boat and beating people in the Dongping Palace, after so obviously putting on an attitude of alienating the Gu family, the eldest wife of the Gu family would send someone to the palace to deliver the post, he thought that he had made a mistake, so that people could see it, and the second steward of the Gu family had always denied that he had spoken falsely, and he couldn't seal the other party's mouth, he was worried for a long time, but he didn't expect it...... The problem will be with that Miss Gu Liu

This woman is so stubborn, and what is even more terrifying is that her skin is thick enough, Liu Dongxing doesn't think that Zhu Jingcheng, the prince of Dongping, is really as she said, and has affection for her, when she rescued her that day, the prince of the world clearly had a little impatience on his face, if he didn't care about the face of Liu Gu's two families, he left with Wen An early, and the prince might have left her early, and ran to make friends with Fu Guerrilla and get credit by the way

He saw what happened clearly that day, so he felt speechless at the moment. This matter is a bit troublesome, just as Gu Wenhui said, it is impossible for the Dongping Royal Mansion to marry the daughter of the two families for the prince, even the queen mother in the palace, and will not arbitrarily decide the marriage of the daughter of such an important minister without knowing that she will meet the emperor. If the two families themselves had this will and were willing to take the initiative to open their mouths to the emperor, then it would be another matter, but with the wisdom of the ancestors of the Duke of Hu and the Marquis of Dongyang, how could their descendants be so confused?

Since this matter is not successful, then, in order to avoid the Dongping palace from finding a strong in-law again, it will become a big trouble in the future, and the emperor will definitely interfere in the marriage of the prince. However, if the chosen object is too poor, the Queen Mother can't say it.

In this case, Gu Wenhui, as a maid and concubine, and the nobles in the palace are supportive, and she really hopes to become the princess of Dongping. Provided, of course, that the news of her being taken captive by thieves did not reach the ears of those nobles. With such a stain, let alone marrying into the clan, it is impossible to say whether he can survive or not

However...... If this kind of thing really spreads, it will not only be Gu Wenhui who will have her reputation damaged

Liu Dongxing frowned slightly. Raised his eyes to look at Wen An. The latter still looked angry and depraved, chewing peanuts vigorously, as if chewing on the hatred of life and death. He lowered his eyes again, hiding the fierceness in his eyes.

The daughter of the Gu family must not marry into the Dongping Palace, otherwise, if there is any misconduct in the Dongping Palace, the entire Gu family will be affected. Wen Yi, as the niece of the Gu Yidun clan, will also be affected to some extent. Not to mention...... The Gu and Liu families have always been in the same mood in the court, and the Gu family has become the in-laws of the Dongping Palace, can the Liu family really keep the emperor's favor? No matter what he thinks about the second uncle's family, after all, he is still on this boat, and once the boat capsizes, he will also fall overboard. He still has a lot to do, how can he let a shameless woman ruin his future?

He felt a pang of annoyance in his heart, and he couldn't help but pour a glass of spirits. Seeing this, Wen An sighed and said, "Look, you feel the same annoyance when you hear it, right?" Although she is my own sister, I really can't stand her When she was a child, she followed Miss Zheng around to play around, relying on the power of Concubine Zheng in the palace, no one cared about her, but I didn't expect her to be big and her heart was big, and such stupid things were done. Why didn't my mother listen to my advice, and only knew how to indulge her? After that, he muttered in a low voice: "My grandmother still plans to give her to the Luo family, according to me, it's better not to harm others, who knows what she will do in the future?" ”

Liu Dongxing took a slap in his hand, slowly put the wine glass back on the table, and the corners of his mouth curved: "You are right, this matter is indeed a little troublesome." Although the Dongping palace is illustrious, and the prince is also a dragon and phoenix among people, the princess's attitude is so clear that she doesn't even care about her relatives, if Sister Ling insists on marrying in the past, she is afraid that she will not have a good life in her mother-in-law's house in the future. King Dongping is not an ordinary clan, he is the brother of today's saint, and he has always been favored by the queen mother. In case the prince and princess are dissatisfied with Sister Ling, I am afraid that Ling Zun's future will also be affected. Again, the events of the day...... The prince is clear, does he really not care in his heart? If so, there will be no other marriage. He smiled at Wen An, "I heard about the prince of the world before I came, I didn't care about it at the time, but now I think about it, but it's for Jing'er." ”

Wen An hurriedly asked, "What is the matter?" ”

"Didn't the ships of the Huguo Mansion and the Dongyang Marquis Mansion pass through the Dongping Mansion? The day before yesterday, the ship of the two of them left Hong Kong and entered Beijing, and the prince personally took people on the boat and escorted them all the way behind. He had the royal flag on his boat, and the royal palace guards escorted him, and I heard that it was because the prince was not worried that the daughters of the two princes would go on the road alone, so he decided to escort them personally."

Wen An sneered: "Could he be thinking of bluffing, so that the people in the capital can see it, thinking that they have agreed to his proposal?" After a pause, his expression darkened, "So, my sister is really daydreaming?" She also said that the prince has affection for her, what kind of affection is this? ”

Liu Dongxing comforted: "Now that things have not reached the point of no return, you don't have to worry too much, anyway, you know the meaning of the palace early, and you can prepare early, right?" ”

"What if I knew?" Wen An said sullenly, "My mother's ears are the softest, and she spoils my sister, even if my sister says that the sun comes out of the west, she will only nod her head and say yes." It's only to blame that I used to only know nonsense, and my family treated me as a child, but now that I have grown up and become sensible, they still don't take my words seriously, and I am about to vomit blood even if I say it, they still blindly follow my sister's ......" He raised his head, "The fifth sister is useless, the tenth sister is young, only the ninth sister is an understanding person, and she is in the next room, and it doesn't work to speak." Brother Xing, sometimes I really feel ...... His life is really miserable...... "His eyes were red, and tears welled up.

Liu Dongxing patted him on the back and asked unintentionally, "Did Miss Nine also persuade your parents?" ”

Wen An nodded, then briefly mentioned what Wen Yi said in the small flower hall, and then complained: "If I can get such a reasonable sister, why am I so sad?" ”

Liu Dongxing felt a wave of sweetness in his heart, it turned out that Wen Yi had the same opinion as him on this matter. He should have known that she was not the kind of stupid woman, and as soon as he heard about the marriage with the royal palace, he could only see the glory of the matter, but ignored the risks.

He was in a good mood, his heart moved, and he already had an idea: "According to me, your old lady is a wise old man, she should know the importance of the matter, if her old man knows Sister Ling's thoughts, she will definitely not let her granddaughter Hu come back to discuss with her old man, maybe she will have a way?" ”

Wen An thought for a while: "Having said that, if my sister convinces my father and mother, my grandmother won't say much. ”

"Ling Tang will connive at Sister Ling, also because he loves his own flesh and blood, if he knew that there was a dead end ahead, he would definitely not watch Sister Ling walk up." Liu Dongxing blinked, "Since Sister Ling insists on going her own way, then as long as you convince Grandmother Ling and Ling Tang." Sister Ling is the daughter of the boudoir in the end, without the nod of her elders, can she still say goodbye to herself? ”

Wen An waved his hand weakly: "No, my mother refuses to let my sister marry unsatisfactory." The Luo family's family matter, how many days did she fight my grandmother? Look, when she gets home, she will definitely explain Brother Min's bad words in front of my father, and won't let my father nod."

Liu Dongxing secretly clenched his fists, and the smile on his face did not decrease: "When did I say this?" Although the Luo family is good, after all, it is an imperial businessman, but I am afraid that Gu Shilang will not look down on it, right? I'm talking about our Liu family."

Wen An was stunned: "What? ”

Liu Dongxing sighed heavily: "I know, after the banditry that day, the words and deeds of the second aunt were a little excessive, and your family probably didn't think that family business could be successful, right?" Pity my brother Ning, since he left Gu Zhuang, he has been depressed, he was seriously ill before, and now he is so thin that only a handful of bones are left, Brother An, although he has all kinds of shortcomings, but he has a deep affection for Sister Ling, if the family can't do it, I'm afraid that he will continue to be depressed, and the person will be wasted."

Wen An's face was full of discomfort: "What are you mentioning him for?" He just said it, but in fact, he didn't have any ability at all, so it was too aggrieved for my sister to marry him."

Liu Dongxing hurriedly lowered his voice: "What's wronged?" He is a scholar son, his appearance, talent, and temperament are good, and he is sincere to Sister Ling, he knows everything about the day, if he can marry Sister Ling, he will never dislike her As for the second aunt, Sister Ling is her niece daughter after all, as long as your old lady comes forward, can she still refuse? As for my second uncle, you don't have to worry about it. Recently, because Brother Ning was depressed, the second uncle was very angry, and he had been snubbing him for a long time, if he knew that marrying Sister Ling as his wife could cheer up Brother Ning, he would probably be willing"

Wen An thought about it carefully, but still a little reluctant: "I don't believe that the third aunt will really agree to ...... that day My sister just escaped from the hands of the thief, and her face was ugly to death, and she wished that my sister and Liu Dongning were glued together every day, but after that, it was as if she had never said anything about being engaged. Again...... That Liu Dongning has a bad character, he actually put the responsibility for me and my sister in distress on my head, if I hadn't been injured that day, I am afraid that not only was I grounded, but the crime of life was inevitable. He is so irresponsible, and his character is not good, if his sister really marries him, I don't know how he will suffer in the future."

Liu Dongxing saw that he just refused, and the smile on his face disappeared by two points: "You think he is not good, but now besides him, is there a better candidate?" ”

Wen An was stunned and looked away.

Liu Dongxing sighed: "Ling Tang and Sister Ling are not willing to marry low, and the palace looks down on Sister Ling, if you say something else, and I am afraid that there will be any gossip in the future, it will hurt Sister Ling's life, and the Liu family is already the best choice Anyway, the Liu family has a second aunt, and they will not abandon Sister Ling, and they will protect her reputation."

Wen An moved his mouth, his brows furrowed, but he didn't refute again, and after a long while, he said in a low voice: "Third aunt's side...... Will you really say yes? I'm afraid that she is bent on asking for Cousin Liu to marry the daughter of the high family......"

Liu Dongxing smiled: "You have been away from home for a long time, and you don't know the current situation in Beijing." The second aunt is not happy at home now, and the second uncle is angry about her previous closeness to the palace, and he is reluctant to visit even when she is sick, and only cares about teaching the two concubines to read. Ling Zun refused to come forward to help her speak, and Brother Ning was sick and weak, so she was far less beautiful at home. However, it is still possible to decide that Brother Ning's family affairs can be done, presumably she is also willing to marry a maiden niece and enter the door to help herself, right? ”

Wen An was still hesitating, and Liu Dongxing hurriedly added a fire: "If you tell Ling Zun, you are probably willing." The second uncle has made a few small contributions recently, which is very in line with the holy will, and he has already entered the palace and seen it twice. But because he still snubbed his second aunt, your family must also be a little distressed. At this time, if the two families can be close to each other, wouldn't it be more intimate? You don't have to worry about it, just talk to your parents, they will know what is the best option."

Wen An took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "Okay, I will definitely convince them not to let the sixth sister mess around anymore" After saying that, he looked at Liu Dongxing gratefully: "Brother Xing, thanks to you." ”

Liu Dongxing smiled very kindly: "What are you polite to me?" Aren't we good brothers? ”

Wen An grinned: "That's right, good brothers"

Liu Dongxing laughed deeper, but suddenly sighed: "To tell the truth, the second uncle and aunt don't like to see me, if it weren't for seeing you upset, and Brother Ning was deeply suffering from lovesickness, I wouldn't have said more than that, when you get to your family, you don't have to mention me, just say that you are listening to the businessmen chatting on the dock, and you can only know about the affairs in Beijing." ”

Wen An hurriedly said: "How can this be made?" I can't ignore your credit, you can solve my sister's matter, it is a great kindness to our family."

Liu Dongxing persuaded him bitterly: "You know how the second aunt treats me." Although I have been close to Brother Ning since childhood, my second aunt has always been wary of me, and your old lady must be the same, why bother to make them suspicious of me? I'll find a way for you, for the sake of your brotherhood, and it has nothing to do with others, as long as you know it in your heart. ”

Wen Anxin was moved, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder: "Good brother" asked again: "Then you won't go to the boat to meet people?" There was a little deep meaning in his eyes, "The ninth sister is also there."

Liu Dongxing smiled a little shyly: "I just went...... I can't see it, in front of the elders, it's not polite...... Forget it. "But...... I've got something I need your help with......"

Wen Yi sat on the embroidered pier in front of the bed, lowered her eyebrows, and waited for the old lady's response.

Old Madam Yu was silent for a long time, and then she let out a long sigh and asked in a low voice, "Why are you telling me this?" ”

Wen Yi replied respectfully: "The nephew and granddaughter only feel that there are many inappropriate things in what the sixth sister said, but the eldest aunt loves her daughter, and the nephew and granddaughter dare not persuade her, so she has to come to see the eldest uncle and grandmother and ask the eldest uncle and grandmother to make a clear decision." ”

Old Madam Yu raised her eyebrows slightly: "What do you think...... Your sixth sister's words...... What's wrong? ”

Wen Yi's heart tightened: "What's wrong...... The nieces and granddaughters couldn't tell...... It's just that...... I don't think it's right for Yu Li...... I am afraid that if I act abruptly, I will offend the royal palace...... The nobles of the clan, the golden branches and jade leaves, the sixth sister has the support of the lady in the palace, I am afraid it will be ......"

Old Madam Yu said "um", and after a while, she said, "I know, you can go." ”

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Wen Yi knew that she needed time to think about it, so she obediently got up and retreated.

Out of the cabin, she wandered down the corridor, and finally turned in the direction of Mrs. Luo's cabin. Mrs. Yu took a fancy to Luo Mingmin as Wen Hui's husband, and she had to remind the other party

Unexpectedly, halfway through, he met the waiter beside Wen Xian, and said with a smile: "Miss Nine, you are here?" The Seventh Young Master is back, bringing a lot of gadgets, and saying that he wants to play with the young ladies, you can go quickly, and I will send you one."

Wen Yi was puzzled, didn't Wen An run out angrily? How...... Will you be in such an interest?
