The Liu family is located in the outer city of Chunhuifang, which belongs to the wealthy area of the capital, with an elegant environment and green trees, and many middle-level officials and wealthy families are concentrated nearby.

The mansion of the Liu family covers an area of about fifteen acres, to be precise, it is the private residence of Liu Yun, a member of the Zhongshu House, and of course Liu Yun can't afford to buy a house in the capital alone, but relying on the family's financial resources, it is very easy for Liu Yun to buy this mansion.

Liu Yunnian is about forty years old, he is the second son of Mrs. Liu, he himself has two sons and two daughters, the eldest son is studying in Taixue, and the second son is Liu Ran, who won the second place in the Pingjiang Mansion Boys' Examination in the autumn.

The Liu family is the second largest wealthy family in Wujiang County, second only to the Shengze Zhu family, and the two families have been married for generations, and Liu Yun's second sister Liu Hua married Zhu Yuanjun's son.

A daughter of the Zhu family also married into the Liu family.

As the third-generation children of the Zhu and Liu families grew up, the marriage of the third-generation families of the two families gradually came to the agenda.

In fact, there has already been a marriage, and Liu Yun's niece and Zhu Yuanjun's grandson Zhu An have settled on the marriage.

As Liu Ran, the prodigy of the third generation of the Liu family, gradually grew up, the Liu family set their eyes on Zhu Pei.

On the one hand, Zhu Pei has a very high status in the Zhu family, she is Zhu Xiaoyun's daughter-in-law, Zhu Yuanfu's granddaughter, although she is called Xiao Qi Niang, she is actually the only granddaughter in the Zhu family's room.

On the other hand, Zhu Pei looks like a flower and a moon, has the beauty of captivating the country and the city, and matches Liu Ran, which can be described as a match made in heaven.

But the Zhu family has different ideas about Zhu Pei's marriage.

Zhu Yuanjun was bent on consolidating the alliance between the two families of Zhu and Liu, and he himself loved Liu Ran very much, so he tried his best to promote this marriage.

However, Zhu Yuanfu thinks that the Zhu family should take a long-term view, not just staring at the Liu family, of course he doesn't want to let people easily for his only granddaughter.

Zhu Yuanfu has a crush on Fan Ning, but how far Fan Ning can go, Zhu Yuanfu remains to be seen, fortunately, Fan Ning is still young now, and his granddaughter Zhu Pei is also young, so there is still time to wait.

Regarding the marriage of his granddaughter, Zhu Yuanfu and his brother Zhu Yuanjun had a big disagreement.

Zhu Yuanjun wanted to bypass his brother Zhu Yuanfu and let his nephew Zhu Xiaoyun, that is, Zhu Pei's father, take charge of the marriage.

Today's Liu family's invitation is of course not for the purpose of marrying, to a large extent, it is to promote the relationship between the two juniors, in the eyes of the Liu family and Zhu Yuanjun, the main Zhu Pei himself is willing to marry Liu Ran, and Zhu Yuanfu is in vain if he opposes it.

In the snow clearing pavilion in the backyard of the Liu family, Zhu Yuanjun, Liu Yun and Zhu Xiaoyun were sitting at a small table, and a tea prostitute was giving them freshly swept snow water to make tea.

The three of them were all wearing fur coats and gauze hats, looking graceful and luxurious, Liu Yun took a sip of tea and asked in surprise: "Uncle Shi just said that the ancestor left a last word before he died, so that Pei'er could find a husband by herself?" ”

Zhu Yuanjun nodded, "But there is such a thing, but this is not a last word, just to comfort the great-granddaughter, I think the marriage of children should still be decided by the parents, Xiaoyun, I am right!" ”

Zhu Yuanjun is beating his nephew Zhu Xiaoyun, to be tough, who his daughter marries should be decided by his father, rather than listening to his grandfather's arrangement in everything. ”

Zhu Xiaoyun smiled bitterly, the second uncle said it easily, how could it be possible to let himself and his father do it against him?

He had to say euphemistically: "The main thing is that Pei'er was brought up by her grandfather since she was a child, and her grandfather still has a great say in Pei'er's life's affairs, I think the key is still in Pei'er herself, since the old lady has a last word, as long as Pei'er herself is willing, her grandfather can't object." ”

Zhu Yuanjun was a little dissatisfied and said: "Xiaoyun, you can't be like this!" ”

"Second uncle, the main reason is that Pei'er is still young now, isn't it too early to talk about Pei'er's marriage now?"

Liu Yun saw that his uncle and nephew began to argue, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Shi, Xiaoyun is also reasonable, Pei'er is still young now, and it's not time to talk about marriage, I think the key is to create opportunities for the two children, so that they can often be together and cultivate each other's feelings, just like Xiaoyun just said, as long as Pei'er likes Ran'er, her grandfather can't object." ”

Zhu Yuanjun's face was a little softer, and he said to Liu Yun: "There is still a month left in the imperial examination, first of all, let Ran'er be admitted to the imperial examination, and then you parents, create more opportunities for your children to get along with each other, so that they can develop naturally." ”

Zhu Xiaoyun nodded and agreed, "The little nephew will do his best!" ”

.........

Zhu Pei didn't know the real intention of his parents to bring him to Liufu, and she thought it was to pay New Year's greetings to her elders before the Chinese New Year.

This is also a tradition, during the New Year, ancestors should be worshipped, and family reunions should be reunited, so it is common to pay New Year's greetings to some elders before the New Year.

Zhu Pei was originally with her mother, but the Wang family created an opportunity for Liu Ran, she excused herself to be sleepy and went to take a nap, so that only Zhu Pei and Liu Ran were left in the back hall.

Liu Ran seized this opportunity and constantly flattered Zhu Pei.

He took out an inkstone, put it on the table and said with a smile: "Apei, I'll test your eyesight, do you know the origin of this inkstone?" ”

Zhu Pei's face sank, and he said coldly: "Liu Yanei, the title of Apei is only called by grandfather and great-grandmother, you had better change it." ”

Liu Ran was really a little embarrassed, so she had to change her words: "I'm sorry, Miss Zhu, I was abrupt." ”

Zhu Pei glanced at the inkstone, shook his head and said: "I'm not interested in the inkstone, you show off your talent in front of me, it's actually meaningless." ”

"Miss Zhu is too modest, this is actually a mud inkstone, it is my beloved thing, I give Miss Zhu as a New Year's gift, I hope Miss Zhu can like it."

"Really?"

Zhu Pei suddenly smiled and said, "Then can I transfer it to someone else?" It just so happens that I have a friend who also likes inkstones, and I think it will be more meaningful for him to collect this kind of inkstone. ”

I don't know why, Liu Ran suddenly thought of Fan Ning, Zhu Pei didn't want to give it to Fan Ning!

He was annoyed for a while, and said in an accentuated tone: "Miss Zhu, this is my beloved thing, I hope Miss Zhu can put it on her desk and see it from time to time." ”

Zhu Pei shook his head, "On my desk is either an inkstone for ten cents a piece, or a teacup for five cents a piece, mainly because I am too short-tempered and drop things at every turn, so I don't dare to put valuable things on my desk." ”

"Then put this inkstone in the box."

Zhu Pei tilted his head and looked at him for a long time, and asked strangely: "Since you gave me this inkstone, it is my thing, what I want to do with it, of course, it is up to me to decide, I want to give it away is also my business, it is not your turn to interfere!" If you just want to put it in my study for the time being, then you don't have to be coy, say what to give it to me, just say you can lend it to me for a few days, right? ”

Liu Ran was so open that he suddenly regretted it a little, such a precious inkstone should not be given to Zhu Pei, or rather, now is not the time to send things, when the relationship is more intimate, she has a good impression of herself, and then give her something, it will be effective.

However, if your words have already been spoken, how can you regret it?

"This is my beloved thing, I gave it to Miss Zhu in order to express my heart, if Miss Zhu gives it to someone else, I will definitely feel sad in my heart, if Miss Zhu doesn't like the inkstone, I can send a thing that Miss Zhu likes."

"Forget it!"

Zhu Pei pushed the inkstone to him and flatly refused: "I'm not used to accepting things from others, in order not to make Liu Ya feel uncomfortable in his heart, I still ask you to take back this inkstone." ”

Juppé stood up again and said, "I'm a little unwell, I'm going back, please tell my parents, just say I'll go first." ”

Liu Ran suddenly became anxious, "Miss Zhu, let's sit down for a while, and go back with Lingzun Lingtang after dinner!" ”

Zhu Pei ignored him, walked directly to the hall, and said to Jian Meizi, who was standing in the courtyard, "Sister Jian, let's go!" ”

"Don't wait for Madame to go with you!"

"I'm not feeling well, so I'll go first."

Jian Meizi nodded, "Then let's go!" ”

Liu Ran suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "Miss Zhu, please stay for a while, let me report to my father, the girl is not too late to leave!" ”

Zhu Pei turned around and said coldly: "You want my father to keep me, I'm not wrong!" ”

She was upset and walked outside.

Liu Ran was anxious, and hurriedly ran to report to Zhu Yuanjun, he had just come out of the back hall door, and happened to meet Zhu Yuanjun, Liu Ran hurriedly said: "Big official, Miss Zhu is gone!" ”

"What?"

Zhu Yuanjun's face sank, "When did it happen?" ”

"Just left!"

"It's so useless, I can't even keep a little lady!"

Zhu Yuanjun glared at Liu Ran, and walked quickly towards the gate, he was also extremely annoyed in his heart, Zhu Pei was too ignorant, he said to leave, and he didn't take the master in his eyes at all.
