At this time, someone outside the door shouted: "Is Mr. Guo at home?"
Zixing shook his head and looked: "Husband, someone is looking for you outside the door."
"I'll open the door." Guo Yi put down the wooden comb and said, "Madam, please tidy up too."
"Okay!" Zi Xing nodded.
Then, Zixing put down the dressing things in her hands.
Guo Yi opened the door and saw Liu Yuanwai and two people standing outside the door.
Guo Yi was a little curious when he saw Yuan Liu and his group outside. However, he saw Yuan Liu looking embarrassed and bowed, "Mr. Guo, it's a bit presumptuous for me to pay you a visit today."
"Liu Yuanwai, why are you here?" Guo Yi chuckled, and then said, "What's the matter?"
Liu Yuanwai was stunned.
Guo Yi didn't take the initiative to invite him in for a while. This was already a big disrespect. Normally, he would have been angry.
However, he remembered that he regretted the marriage in the first place, so he endured it.
"I, I...I came here specifically to apologize." Liu Yuanwai said.
"Apologise?" Guo Yi was stunned for a moment and asked: "Liu Yuan has never apologized to me, Guo Yi, in any way."
"Alas." Liu Yuanwai sighed and said, "I was reckless and ignorant back then. I actually ruined my little daughter's happiness and ruined the reputation of the two families. So today, I specially broke off the engagement back then.
I came to apologize for the incident. I hope Mr. Guo can forgive me."
"Haha, so that's what happened." Guo Yi laughed and said, "Uncle Liu, I'm afraid you are mistaken. What happened back then was not that your Liu family broke off the engagement, but that my Guo family broke off the engagement."
Liu Yuanwai smiled: "Yes, yes, but in the end it is my Liu family that caused it. All the mistakes and crimes were committed by my Liu family."
Guo Yi looked puzzled and was still muttering in his heart.
What's wrong with this old man? More than five years have passed since the incident, and he still comes to apologize. He didn't come earlier, he didn't come late, but he came at this time?
Guo Yi's mind flashed and he immediately understood the other party's intention.
Now that Guo Nian has become a frontier general, commanding all the armies of the Wu State, at this time, I am afraid that all the princes and generals with deep roots in the Wu State want to marry the Guo family? At this time, Liu Yuanwai came to visit, obviously for the purpose of proposing a marriage.
.
Guo Yi smiled: "Okay, I have forgotten what happened before. Please come back, Mr. Liu."
After saying that, Guo Yizheng was about to close the door.
Liu Yuanwai hurriedly pressed against the door and said: "Mr. Guo, wait a minute!"
"Liu Yuan, what else do you want?" Guo Yi asked.
"I...I have a merciless request." Liu Yuanwai lowered his head and said.
"You tell me." Guo Yi smiled.
"My daughter Xue Fei is still unmarried, and Master Ling Nian'er is also unmarried. I think it's better to fulfill them and let them continue their relationship. How about that?" Liu Yuanwai looked at Guo Yi longingly, how much he wanted Guo Yi.
Able to nod and agree.
"How can we renew our relationship after breaking off the engagement?" Guo Yi shook his head and said, "If word of this spreads, wouldn't it make people look down on my Nian'er?"
"How could it be?" Liu Yuanwai hurriedly defended, saying: "This will never happen. After all, the Liu and Guo families were engaged five years ago. I will announce later that the breakup of the engagement five years ago was just a farce.
"
"Why do others believe this is a farce?" Guo Yixiao asked.
"Look, my daughter Xue Fei has not been married for five years, and your child Guo Nian has not been married for five years. I... I think this is enough to convince people." Liu Yuanwai hurriedly said what he said with confidence in his heart.
come out.
He originally thought that Guo Yi would agree without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, Guo Yi said: "Exceptor Liu, why should I let my Nian'er marry your daughter?"
"This..." Liu Yuanwai was confused.
"My Nian'er is no longer the Master Guo he was five years ago." Guo Yi smiled and said, "He is now the lord of Youzhou City and a border general, commanding the country's troops. What kind of woman do you want?
Woolen cloth?"
Liu Yuanwai said nothing and lowered his head, as if he had done something hugely wrong.
Guo Yi said: "Liu Yuan, you'd better go. Don't stay here with me."
After saying that, Guo Yi closed the courtyard door.
Liu Yuan and the three others stood there blankly.
After a long time, a follower said: "Master Liu, let's go back."
"Well, go back." Liu Yuanwai left in despair.
He left here so humbly and shamelessly, but he didn't expect to be so humiliated by the other party.
Liu Yuanwai felt very unhappy inside.
"You said that the Guo family has already prospered a long time ago, why do Guo Nian's parents still live in such a shabby house?" A follower looked at the two of them secretly, and then said: "Don't you really understand at all?
Enjoy it?"
"Maybe people are used to it," another attendant said.
Liu Yuanwai didn't care at all what his entourage said. It seemed like a thousand kilograms of weight was weighing on his body, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Liu Xuefei was very sad when she heard the news.
However, all this seems to be expected.
"Miss, you are a womanizer, is it possible that you really want to go to the Guo family to propose marriage?" asked the maid on the side.
"Yes!" Liu Xuefei nodded and said, "I must bear the responsibility for the mistakes my father made."
"If it works out, that's fine, but what if it doesn't work out?" The maid frowned and said, "You will become a joke to the whole city, and you may even be unable to get married for the rest of your life."
Liu Xuefei smiled and said: "I can't get married anyway, so it doesn't matter."
"Miss, are you too impulsive?" the maid said.
The next day.
Liu Xuefei left home.
Liu Xuefei is the admired object of many men in the city, but the scandal caused by the Liu family has stopped the young talents in the city. Now that Liu Xuefei has gone out, she has quickly attracted the attention of many people.
"Isn't this the woman outside Yuan Liu?"
"No one has dared to visit me for five years to talk about matchmaking."
"I heard that she was annulled by the Guo family."
…
On the street, everyone was whispering to each other. Liu Xuefei heard it very clearly, and her heart was very complicated.
It's okay not to go out. It's really sad to find out that the news about her outside is so bad when she goes out. However, for the sake of her lifelong happiness, she has to go to the door to apologize in person, and also begs Guo Yi to forgive her, so that she can
Let yourself meet Guo Nian.
Arrive at Guo’s house.
Many onlookers came.
After knocking on the door, the person who opened the door turned out to be Zixing.
When Zixing saw Liu Xuefei, she showed a surprised expression: "Xuefei, is it you?"
"Madam." Liu Xuefei bowed.
Although she was surprised by Zi Xing's ageless appearance, she still did not forget the purpose of her visit this time.
"Come into the house quickly." Seeing the many people outside the door, Zi Xing hurriedly pulled Liu Xuefei into the house.
