Hong Cen invited City Master Liu into the house to talk.
Not long after, a young monk also brought tea.
Hong Cen asked the young monk to go and get busy, while he poured a glass for City Master Liu.
The two of them exchanged a few casual words, and then City Lord Liu got straight to the point and asked, "Master Cen, are you married?" [
"Not yet." Hong Cen didn't lie.
City Master Liu Wen said: "I don't want to beat around the bush. I'm sorry to you and Yue'er a few days ago. She is young and doesn't understand. To be honest, older people have their own way of living, and I have no objection to you two.
But I don’t know if my little girl is so lucky."
Speaking of this, he had already made it clear that he wanted to recruit Hong Cen as his son-in-law.
If Hong Cen had the intention, he would continue what he said, but if he had no intention -
"Thank you City Master for your love." Hong Cen also said sincerely, "My daughter is a good woman, and she will definitely find a better home. When the time comes, City Master Liu, can you please have a glass of thin wine with me? To express my congratulations."
Speaking of this, I declined quite implicitly.
City Lord Liu is a smart man, so he can naturally understand the meaning of Hong Cen's words.
When he came, he didn't have much hope. He just gave it a try and maybe there would be some surprises, but it was still pretty much what he expected.
Hong Cen has been living in the temple since that day. City Lord Liu believed what Liu Huai said when he came back. Hong Cen had no intention of being the son-in-law of the Liu family. Thinking about the secret decree again, he had a headache again.
City Lord Liu said that since Hong Cen was here, he would do his best to be a landlord and invited him to his home for a simple meal as a way of thanking him for helping Liu Yue.
Hong Cen couldn't push back anymore. After all, the dignified city lord came to send the invitation in person, so it would be unreasonable not to go.
Unable to refuse, Hong Cen reluctantly nodded in the end.
City Lord Liu’s trip was well worth it.
After chatting for a while, City Lord Liu left.
Hong Cen's brows tightened again, and he looked at Jin Hong's invitation on the table in a daze.
