Chapter four hundred and forty-eight smooth marriage
The maid looked excited and deliberately said in a nonchalant manner: "Not the eldest lady, nor the second lady, nor the third lady, but the cousin!"
"What?" After hearing what the maid said, Liu Keyan and Liu Kexin, who were sitting on the edge of the bed, stood up at the same time, both of them looking in disbelief.
Liu Keqing was also surprised and confused. He didn't understand how this matter could involve Guo Shengtong.
The maid walked up to the three young ladies, lowered her voice and said enthusiastically: "My maid also heard that it was my cousin who proposed to Da Sima. Da Sima agreed, and so did King Zhending. He also said that he would marry this month.
Have a wedding!”
After speaking, she didn't notice the unnatural expressions on the three ladies' faces at all, and continued excitedly: "This time, the three ladies don't have to worry anymore, my cousin..."
Before she finished speaking, Liu Keyan had already walked away with a gloomy expression.
The maid was dumbfounded and didn't understand what she had said wrong. Aren't the three ladies unwilling to marry Da Sima? Now Da Sima agrees to marry Miss Cousin. Isn't this a good thing?
Liu Kexin called her eldest sister and hurriedly chased her out. Liu Keqing, who was sitting on the bed, clenched his fists and said angrily: "The orphan girl of the Guo family not only knows how to look for opportunities, but also knows how to pick up opportunities."
Although she is unwilling to marry Liu Xiu, it does not mean that she is happy to see Guo Shengtong marry Liu Xiu.
Liu Kexin walked out of the room quickly, went to the yard outside, trotted to catch up with Liu Keyan, and asked cautiously: "What's wrong, eldest sister?"
"It's nothing." Liu Keyan was obviously in a bad mood and replied absentmindedly while walking quickly to his yard.
Liu Kexin glanced at her a few times, hesitated for a long time, and couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Could it be that the eldest sister...could she have fallen in love with Da Sima?"
Liu Keyan suddenly stopped and turned to look at his second sister.
After a while, her eyes softened, she sighed softly, and said: "Da Sima is not only a talented person, he is young and promising, he is also talented, and he has a big heart. If he can get this husband, his life will be enough."
Before he met Liu Xiu, Liu Keyan thought that Liu Xiu was a farmer from the countryside of Nanyang.
It can be seen that after meeting Liu Xiu, she realized that her impression of Liu Xiu was all wrong. In him, she did not feel the rusticity of a farmer, but instead was gentle and graceful.
What moved Liu Keyan the most was that Liu Xiu responded to "Xiang Mouse" with "Millet".
There was no tit-for-tat sharpness, but instead he showed a bold and unrestrained mind. This kind of Liu Xiu really made Liu Keyan's impression of him turn around 180 degrees, and his heart was filled with excitement.
Originally, when she was comforting her younger sister, her heart was still full of joy, because neither her second sister nor her younger sister were very interested in Liu Xiu, so naturally there would be no joke like the three sisters competing for a husband.
But she never expected that Guo Shengtong, who usually seemed gentle, virtuous and quiet, would actually recommend himself and take the lead.
This made Liu Keyan even want to hit the wall now. If she had known this, she would not have chosen to leave at that time, and directly made it clear that she was willing to marry Liu Xiu.
Seeing the eldest sister's words of praise for Liu Xiu, Liu Kexin immediately understood what the eldest sister was thinking.
Speaking of which, after meeting Liu Xiu, her impression of Liu Xiu also changed greatly. She believed that Liu Xiu was indeed a good candidate for her husband. She thought for a moment and said, "Eldest sister, why don't you go to your father and ask him for his blessing?"
Is the eldest sister getting married to the eldest Sima?"
Liu Keyan smiled bitterly and said, "How can I say this?"
She is different from Guo Shengtong. The latter is an orphan, but she is the eldest daughter of the royal family. Even if she meets the person she is attracted to, she has to worry about the woman's reserve.
Liu Kexin rolled her eyes and said, "I'll go talk to my father on behalf of my eldest sister!" After saying that, she turned around and ran away without waiting for Liu Keyan's reply.
Liu Keyan pretended to call out softly: "Second sister!" Seeing that Liu Kexin didn't even turn her head, she raised the corners of her mouth and smiled unconsciously on her face.
At this time, Liu Xiu and Liu Yang were no longer in the palace, but went to choose a house.
As the local emperor of Zhending County, Liu Yang had countless assets in Zhending City and had several large houses in Zhending City. He took Liu Xiu directly to one of his favorite houses and promised to give it to Liu Xiu.
show.
Liu Xiu walked around the house and was very satisfied. He handed over to Liu Yang and said, "King Zhending is such a great gift. I really feel sorry for him!"
Liu Yang's old face sank and he said: "Why did my wise nephew call me King Zhending again? Remember to change your words."
"Yes, uncle!" Liu Xiu called again.
After Liu Xiu and his party were settled in this house, Liu Yang sat there for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.
As soon as he returned to his palace, he saw his second daughter Liu Kexin walking over quickly. He was in a good mood and with a smile on his face, he asked cheerfully: "Kexin came to see your father, but something happened?"
"
Liu Kexin asked angrily: "Daughter, I heard that my father is going to betroth my cousin to Da Sima?!"
Liu Yang nodded, is there anything wrong with this? You three sisters are not willing to marry Liu Xiu, but Shengtong stepped forward in time to take over. Isn't this appropriate?
Liu Kexin pouted and said unconvinced: "My cousin is just an orphan, what qualifications do she have to marry Da Sima?"
After hearing this, the smile on Liu Yang's face immediately disappeared, and his expression became gloomy.
Liu Kexin continued: "Father, my eldest sister and I are both willing to marry Da Sima. For this marriage, my father needs to choose one of us!"
When Liu Yang heard this, his lungs almost exploded with anger. At first, it was you who cried, made trouble, and hung himself, and refused to marry. Now that the marriage has been decided, it is you who suddenly changed his mind and wanted to marry. This is not the case.
Do you treat this marriage as a child's play?
"Nonsense! It's just nonsense! It's nonsense!" Liu Yang said angrily: "My father has already decided to marry Shengtong to Da Sima, and there will definitely not be any changes to this matter!"
If things change again, he won't be able to explain it to Liu Xiu. Besides, it is indeed more suitable for Shengtong and Liu Xiu to marry than his own three daughters.
Unable to get his father's approval, Liu Kexin immediately quit and said angrily: "How can my father be so partial? Are we his father's biological daughter, or is my cousin his father's biological daughter?"
When Liu Yang heard this, his vision turned black and he almost fainted from anger on the spot. He shouted angrily: "Evil!" As he spoke, he instinctively raised his palm.
Liu Kexin was also aggressive. Instead of hiding, she kept moving forward with her eyes closed, and said angrily: "Fight, it's best for the father to kill his daughter. No matter how partial the father is to his cousin, no one will say anything."
That’s right!”
Liu Yang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He raised his hand, but he still didn't want to slap him. Finally, he stamped his feet and walked away with his sleeves.
The marriage of Liu Xiu and Guo Shengtong was decided, and the front yard of the palace was filled with joy, with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the wedding arrangements were very busy from top to bottom.
The atmosphere in the backyard was quite strange. The maids and women were all walking with their tails between their legs, and they were all cautious when doing things, for fear of being swept away by the tail of the typhoon if they were not careful.
The three sisters Liu Keyan, Liu Kexin and Liu Keqing were all very dissatisfied with Guo Shengtong's intention to marry Liu Xiu.
It's just that the first two felt that their sweethearts had been snatched away by Guo Shengtong, while Liu Keqing simply felt that Guo Shengtong, an orphan, was not worthy of picking up things she didn't want.
The three sisters were in a bad mood, and one of the sisters was also in a bad mood, Liu Yang's second son Liu Zhen.
Liu Zhen is similar in age to Guo Shengtong. Liu Zhen has always been eyeing Guo Shengtong and regards him as his own. Unexpectedly, before he had time to take action on Guo Shengtong, the latter suddenly wanted to marry Liu Xiu.
Already.
Regarding this matter, Liu Zhen even dragged his eldest brother Liu De to argue with Liu Yang, hoping to stop the marriage.
The second son Liu Zhen has a domineering temperament, but the eldest son Liu De has a very docile temperament. He never says a word in front of his father, and Liu Zhen is always jumping up and down to object.
Liu Yang was well aware of Liu Zhen's little thoughts, but Liu Zhen was opposed to them, which had no weight at all in Liu Yang's case.
In the end, not only Liu Zhen was severely scolded by Liu Yang, but even Liu De, who said nothing, was scolded bloody by Liu Yang.
Daughters don't worry about it, and sons don't let him worry about it. The eldest son, Liu De, is said to be docile, but in fact he is cowardly and cannot come up with a decent idea when encountering problems.
The second son, Liu Zhen, was also too arrogant and domineering, and often used the name of Zhending Palace to bully men and dominate women outside.
If the temperaments of these two sons could be reconciled a little, Liu Yang felt that his life would be complete.
Only five days apart, the day for Liu Xiu and Guo Shengtong's wedding arrived. The procession to welcome the bride set off from Liu Xiu's mansion early in the morning, playing and playing along the way, to the palace of Prince Zhending.
Liu Yang still had deep feelings for Guo Shengtong. At this time, when he saw his niece getting married, he couldn't help but shed a few tears. He patted Guo Shengtong's hand and choked up and said: "Shengtong, marry into the Grand Sima Mansion, and you will be more important in the future."
Be gentle and virtuous, and become Da Sima's virtuous wife, so that Da Sima will have no worries!"
Hearing his uncle's advice, Guo Shengtong's eyes turned red, and he burst into tears. He knelt down and cried, "Shengtong, remember your uncle's teachings! Shengtong doesn't know how to repay his uncle for his upbringing. If there is an afterlife, I don't know how to repay him."
Shengtong is willing to work as a cow or a horse to repay his uncle..."
"Good boy, get up quickly!"
Liu Yang held a grand banquet in his palace. Almost all the prominent gentry, gentry, officials, nobles, and Liu family members from Zhending City and the entire Zhending Kingdom came.
There must be no room for banquets in the main hall, and the courtyard is also filled with banquets. Looking around, it's dark and crowded with people.
For this marriage, it can be seen that Liu Yang is very satisfied. After a few glasses of wine, Liu Yang became a little drunk. In a high mood, Liu Yang sang happily.xdw8
The word "Zhu" here does not refer to architecture. Liu Yang is not patting the pillars and walls of the hall and singing, which is a lunatic. Zhu is a kind of musical instrument at that time.
Liu Xiu and Guo Shengtong dined and dined at Prince Jingding's residence. It was not until the afternoon that Liu Xiu took Guo Shengtong to his residence.
When they returned to their residence, a large banquet awaited them. Seeing that Guo Shengtong looked tired, Liu Xiu sent someone to send Guo Shengtong back to the backyard to rest. He continued to entertain guests in the front yard.
The banquet lasted from afternoon to evening. When it got dark, Liu Xiucai was helped back to his room by Zhu and others.
Today, Liu Xiu didn't even remember how much he drank, or how he got back to the room. When he regained consciousness, he was already lying on the bed, and Guo Shengtong was sitting on the edge of the bed.
Liu Xiu slowly sat up from the bed, feeling that his head was so swollen that it felt like it was about to split.
Guo Shengtong looked at him with concern and said: "My husband is drunk, please lie down and sleep for a while!"
Liu Xiu looked at Guo Shengtong. After a long while, he realized that yes, he got married again today and married Guo Shengtong, the niece of King Zhending.
He did not lie down again, but moved closer to Guo Shengtong, stretched out his hand, gently hooked her chin, and said quietly: "From now on, you are my Liu Xiu's wife! Are you really willing?
