In Liu Jin's house in the capital, after Liu Jin took his mother Wang over, he rarely had time to spend some time at home with his mother.
"Mom, you can eat more of this sea fish. It is especially good for middle-aged and elderly people."
At the dinner table, Liu Jin was very filial and served the Wang family. Wang had worked hard for eight lifetimes, and now she could enjoy the happiness. At this time, she looked at Liu Jin with a smile on her face, but in her heart she was thinking about what she should give to herself.
My son is getting married, and I can have my grandson as soon as possible.
"Jin'er, you have passed the examination and are already quite old. I wonder if there is a girl you like. If there is, I will have someone come to propose marriage."
Wang took a bite of the fish meat, the steamed grouper, it tasted very delicious, then put down her chopsticks and asked with a smile.
"Mom, it's still early. Spring will be here in a few months. Let's wait until I get my name on the gold medal list."
Liu Jin smiled and said.
"I've heard a little bit about you. Miss Xu and Miss Li are both ladies from famous families, so they are indeed worthy of each other."
After Wang heard this, he thought about it and said.
"Damn~ Whoever leaked the news must be Erhu."
When Liu Jin heard this, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart. The Wang family knew about his secret love affair.
"However, Jin'er, just because they are both ladies from famous families, it is always not good for you to have two jobs at the same time. If they are ordinary people, marrying them at the same time is not a big deal, so you still have to make a decision as soon as possible.
Make your choice before it hurts too much."
After all, Mrs. Wang was someone who had been there before, so she spoke with sincerity.
"Mom, who told you these things?"
Liu Jin curled his lips, thought for a while and asked.
"None of this matters. What matters is yourself. Which one do you like?"
Mrs. Wang replied, then thought about it and said: "Actually, I thought it would be better for you to marry a girl from an ordinary family. Although a lady from a famous family is nice, she also has a bad temper. Mother is afraid that you will be wronged."
"If you marry a girl from an ordinary family, you can have as many as three wives and four concubines as you like, and our old Liu family will also be able to flourish. But if you marry a lady from a famous family, how can you have as many as three wives and four concubines?"
"Let's just talk about it for now. If Miss Xu and Miss Li were both ordinary people, you wouldn't have to worry, just get married."
"...This is my mother!"
Liu Jin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Mom, you don't have to worry about my affairs. I will take care of it. Just wait and have your grandson."
Liu Jin thought for a while and replied.
"well."
After hearing this, Ms. Wang nodded happily. Liu Jin had been sensible since she was a child, and she had very few things to worry about.
After eating, Liu Jin also returned to his study. On Liu Jin's desk were two letters, one written by Xu Waner and one written by Li Zhen.
Looking at the two letters, Liu Jin couldn't help but feel a headache. Just now at the dinner table, Wang's response was very good, but when he actually faced the decision, he felt very worried.
"Liu Lang, I miss you so much. One day without seeing you is like three autumns~"
This is a letter written by Li Zhen to Liu Jin. Li Zhen is bold and straightforward. The names in her words have changed. If Liu Jin says not to marry her now, Liu Jin estimates that she will commit suicide immediately. Women in ancient times, once
Once you identify a person, you will basically never change it, and it will be with you whether you live or die.
"I want to know you, and I will live a long life without end. There are no mountains, no tombs, no rivers, no thunder in winter, rain and snow in summer, heaven and earth are united, so I dare to be with you."
This is a letter written by Xu Waner to Liu Jin, and it also has an attitude of not marrying anyone. If Liu Jin does not marry her, Liu Jin estimates that Xu Waner will definitely die of lovesickness, and Xu Guangzuo will also tie himself up and hang him. After all,
This future brother-in-law was desperately trying to create opportunities, and he invited himself to the Dingguo Duke's Mansion for drinks and meals every three days.
"Oh, I just wanted to flirt out of habit, but unexpectedly sparks sparked easily, but now I'm riding a tiger and it's hard to stop."
Liu Jin sighed inwardly and didn't know what to do.
"Brother Jin, Duke Dingguo's government has sent someone to invite you to discuss important matters."
Just when Liu Jin was worried, Zhao Erhu walked in and said with a smile on his face.
Now Liu Jin has almost become a frequent visitor to the Dingguo Palace. He goes to the Dingguo Palace every three days and five days. Those who don't know it think there is something important happening between Liu Jin and the Dingguo Palace. He comes here every day.
Ran away.
Even the British Duke Zhang Mao came to Liu Jin, saying that Liu Jin was not a good friend and would not tell Lao Zhang about any big business. He went to Dingguo Gong every day, so there must be some big deal.
The injustice in Liu Jin's heart was that he didn't go to Duke Dingguo's mansion to discuss business, he just went to pick up girls.
But I couldn't talk about this matter with Zhang Mao, so I could only say that I went to Xu Guangzuo to drink and brag.
"Huzi, did you tell my mother about me?"
Liu Jin looked at Zhao Erhu and asked.
"If your mother asks me, I can't lie."
Zhao Erhu touched his head and said.
"Um...do you still want to marry Xiaocui?"
When Liu Jin heard this, he couldn't help but say.
When Zhao Erhu heard this, his face turned red immediately and he quickly said: "Brother Jin, I won't dare to say anything nonsense next time."
"Forget it, you will find out sooner or later anyway, but you can't mention this to outsiders."
Liu Jin thought for a while and warned again.
"Yes~"
When Zhao Erhu heard this, he immediately promised.
"Let's go to Duke Dingguo's Mansion. Have you bought the things I asked you to buy?"
Liu Jin nodded and stood up to go to Duke Dingguo's mansion.
"I bought it, I bought it~"
Zhao Erhu quickly took out the two boxes, and Liu Jin opened one of the boxes. Inside was a green emerald hairpin.
Well, naturally you have to be willing to invest in picking up girls. Liu Jin often gives various small gifts. Of course, he learned this from later generations. Now he is also a man who is not short of money, so he will bring them every time he goes on a date.
A variety of small gifts.
Bringing gifts, he arrived at Duke Ding's Mansion in a familiar way. The servants in Duke Ding's Mansion already knew about Liu Jin and Xu Wan'er, and they all knew how to do things, so they took Liu Jin directly to the garden in the middle of the lake.
Island here.
Xu Waner had been waiting here for a long time. When she saw Liu Jin arriving, she waved her hand gently, and all the people under her command understood the situation and stayed away, leaving the young lovers at a distance.
"Wan'er~"
Liu Jin looked at the beauty in front of him and said softly.
"Liu Lang~"
Xu Waner's eyes were watery. At this time, she no longer had the ice and snow intelligence of the past. She looked like a little white rabbit in love. There was only Liu Jin in her eyes. As for the rest, she had long forgotten them all.
"Close your eyes~"
Liu Jin said with a smile.
"What did you bring here again?"
As soon as Xu Waner pouted, she immediately guessed that Liu Jin had given her another gift, but she still closed her eyes obediently.
Liu Jin took out the jade hairpin, looked at the beauty in front of him, carefully chose a position, inserted the jade hairpin into her hair, and then admired it carefully.
Xu Waner's beauty is that kind of classical beauty, without any flaws, just like a carefully crafted work of art. People can't bear to have the slightest damage, and at the same time, they can't help but be deeply addicted to it.
"What are you looking at?"
Xu Waner closed her eyes and hadn't heard Liu Jin's words for a long time. She opened her eyes and saw Liu Jin looking like a pig brother, and couldn't help but get angry.
"Look at you, you are so beautiful~"
Liu Jin smiled and said.
"I just know that he is smooth-tongued and not serious."
Xu Waner's face suddenly turned red, she lowered her head slightly, holding the corners of her clothes with her delicate hands, feeling at a loss.
Liu Jin gently stretched out his hand to hold Xu Waner's slender hand, which was as white as onion and as warm as jade. Then he gently lowered his head and wanted to kiss Xu Waner.
"No~ not now."
Xu Waner felt like a deer in her heart, stretched out her hand to push Liu Jin away, her face was red, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground and burrow down immediately.
"Alas~"
Liu Jin could only sigh in his heart. Although Xu Waner had already married her and held her hand, he tried to kiss her several times but failed, which made her feel itchy, but there was nothing she could do.
If this had happened in later generations, there would probably have been a lot of artillery fire.
But in this era, reputation is more important than anything else, and secretly dating Liu Jin is already a big step beyond the pale. If we do anything else... we still have to wait until we get married openly and openly.
Liu Jin was enjoying the world of two people. In the imperial palace in the capital, a rest was not guaranteed in the Qianqing Palace. Xiao Huangmen accidentally knocked over a candle while working. The candle caused a fire. In the blink of an eye, the Qianqing Palace was here.
A raging fire began.
PS: I would like to recommend a good historical text to everyone - "The Battle between Chu and Han", which belongs to the dynasty struggle type and is worth reading.
