In order to confirm Liu Keren's life experience, Haijiao took the opportunity to go to the health center to study, and privately asked someone to investigate. Within two days, he had received definite news.

Liu Keren is indeed Concubine Liu Shufei's relative, strictly speaking, her heir. Concubine Liu's own brother died early, and her parents succeeded their nephew as their heir, Liu Keren. Liu Keren was famous at a young age, a high school scholar in his twenties, and his wife was also a well-known lady, so she could be called proud. His sister is a palace concubine who gave birth to a prince, and the family is prominent, Liu Keren entered the Hanlin Academy for three years, and then entered the sixth department, and his career was smooth. Unexpectedly, one day, the five princes died violently, and everything was turned upside down.

Concubine Liu Shufei found out that Sun Guifei was suspected of killing the five princes, but she was thrown into the cold palace as a madman. Although the Liu family interceded afterwards, the emperor finally calmed his anger, but Concubine Liu Shufei mentioned the matter of thoroughly investigating the cause of the death of the five princes, and the emperor turned his face again.

Concubine Liu Shu soon died of illness in the cold palace, and the aftermath was also hastily handled. Her biological parents died of grief one after another, and the Liu family, in order to protect themselves, sat back and watched her only remaining heir, Liu Keren, be denounced to the frontier in disguise, and even Liu Keren's biological parents and the Yue-in-law family pretended to be deaf and dumb.

When Liu Keren first arrived in Suzhou, he was indeed full of resentment, and even his wife and children were crying. It's just that after a few years, they have gradually gotten used to life here, and now they can treat it calmly.

Not accustomed, not calm. Now except for Mrs. Liu's biological mother, who will send someone to send letters and things every year, everyone else seems to be when Liu Keren's house is dead, there is no news, no one will fish him back, and after many years, he can't even use the normal promotion and transfer channels to leave Suzhou, except to accept the reality, what else can he do?

Fortunately, he was an official in Suzhou City, which was quite comfortable. Although there are wars from time to time, and there is a Sun Yonglu who jumps and annoys people from time to time, the good and bad officers are reliable, and the colleagues and subordinates are also straightforward and honest, and will not cause trouble to him.

It's just that his children are also older, and he really can't find any good marriage in this place, if he doesn't want to marry a military general, he has to find a way to transfer back to the Central Plains......

When Haitang heard this, he couldn't help but stop: "Brother, where did you hear all this news?" ”

Hai Jiao blinked: "Are you worried that the news is not true?" Rest assured, the message is absolutely reliable! I listened to the housekeeper of the Liu family. "The housekeeper of the Liu family is an old man brought by Liu Keren from his home in the capital, and he knows the situation of the main family best. Hai Jiao felt that if it weren't for the sweetness of his mouth, it would not be so easy to extract so much information from other people's mouths!

Haitang glanced at Haijiao speechlessly: "I have been an old housekeeper in the family of the scholarly eunuch in the capital for a lifetime, and I have nothing to do with outsiders to gossip about the master's family?" Why don't I think it's reliable? That's it, the rest of the news is easy to say, why did people specifically mention to their brother that the children of the Liu family can't find a good marriage partner in Suzhou? ”

Reef blinked again: "Why?" What does this have to do with me......" Before he could finish speaking, he reacted, "Wouldn't it? Could it be ...... The Liu family wants to recruit me as a son-in-law?! ”

He thought it was impossible, but when he thought about it, it didn't seem impossible......

Liu Keren's eldest daughter is only one year younger than him, and she is famous for her talent and appearance in the official circle of Suzhou City. The children of official families who are the same age as her are either from the Zhou family and the Gu family, or they are from poor families. No matter how depressed Liu Keren's house is, he is also a family in the capital and a relative of the emperor, so it is estimated that he is unwilling to settle. Although the Hai family has a shallow foundation, Haijiao is very confident in himself. He's definitely the best of his age in town.

If you take into account that almost all of General Wednesday's sons are educated in Chang'an's own family and rarely come to Suzhou, and the young general of the Gu family has already been married, it seems that the Liu family has even less choice. The idea of hitting the reef is also reasonable.

The reef is both civil and military, and his appearance is also handsome, and he is already determined to take a career in office. The Hai family also plans to return to their hometown of Zhili in the future. When the daughter of the Liu family marries, she doesn't have to stay at the border and eat sand for the rest of her life, and she can at least be a wife in the future, no worse than the other sisters in the family......

After Haijiao figured it out, he couldn't help but sigh: "Although I understand that Lord Liu is a loving father and thinks about his daughter, but ...... They can't do this on their own, can they? You have to tell me! ”

Haitang glanced at him: "It's just a hint in advance, and the eight characters haven't been skimmed yet!" If Lord Liu really plans to get married, he will definitely ask the matchmaker to mention it to grandpa and ask grandpa to come to the door to propose. The matchmaker is estimated to be either General Wednesday or General Gu. When the time comes, the elders will discuss it, what do you have to say? You can't call the shots. ”

Hai Jiao pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Haitang asked tentatively, "Isn't my brother willing?" To tell the truth, I have seen Miss Liu, she was born very good-looking, and she is well-read, she is worthy of being Concubine Liu's niece, and her temperament is also gentle and kind. Although Lord Liu is now belittled, the emperor did not publicly punish him after all, and he is still a child of the family and a relative of the emperor on the surface. If the elder brother can marry his daughter, it will be considered a high climb. ”

Haijiao shook his head and said, "Qi Da is not a coincidence. I don't plan to marry the daughter of the Liu family. Even if the emperor forgives Lord Liu and summons him back to Beijing to be an official, I don't want to ......"

Haitang raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you want to?" Our family has a good relationship with Master Liu, and Miss Liu is not unworthy of you. ”

"Anyway, I don't want to, little sister, don't mention it in the future!" Haijiao stood up, "Don't tell grandma about this, let alone your cousin and uncle." Uncle Cousin, Grandpa Cao, and Grandpa Lu regard Lord Liu as friends with the same illness, and their relationship has always been close, in case they suddenly have the intention of being a matchmaker, it will not be good. ”

Begonia couldn't help but snicker: "Are you so scared?" Brother, should it be...... Do you have someone else in mind? So you don't want to talk to other people? She leaned closer to her brother, "Who does my brother like?" Isn't it the ...... who saved you in your last life?"

Before he finished speaking, Haijiao, who has always regarded himself as a good brother, couldn't help jumping up and covering his sister's mouth: "Don't say it!" Don't get your innocent daughter into our gossip! ”

Haitang was covered with breath, and couldn't help but reach out and clasp Haijiao's wrist, and flipped it backhand, so painful that Haijiao immediately let go, and looked at her sister with round eyes, a little suspicious of life.

Haitang snorted twice and said, "What is there to be hard in front of my sister?" If you have the ability to go to Datong in the future, you swear to your grandfather after saving your benefactor that you don't mean anything to that girl, and you will never marry someone! ”

The reef's attention was diverted, and his face was flushed, but he didn't dare to make any more charter tickets.

Seeing this, Haitang reluctantly let him go: "Okay, in fact, I think that even if Lord Liu takes a fancy to his brother, it is too sudden." Although he always came to our house, his wife never brought her daughter to visit. I don't think his family should want to marry a girl casually, so why would the housekeeper reveal his tone to you, and why is Lord Liu willing to actively cooperate with General Wednesday and Grandpa's actions? ”

Liu Keren is not a member of the Suzhou Wei, but an auxiliary official of the local government in Suzhou. He was willing to go on a business trip to Gaotai, 200 miles away, to teach the local soldiers and civilians to grow corn, and he also took the initiative to clash with his old opponent from the capital, just to give Hai Xiya and Xie Wenzai a reasonable reason to go to the local area. So tossed, what is he trying to do?

The Zhou family is to win over Tao Yue, Haixi Cliff is for Xie Wenzai, and Xie Wenzai is to see Tao Yue. So what is Liu Keren's appeal?

Is it for friendship with the Zhou family and the Hai family? Or is it to take the opportunity to contact Tao Yue? Does he also want to return to the capital, if not to avenge his dead sister and nephew, but just to give himself and his children a better future?
