After receiving the invitation from Crown Prince Ning, Commander Liu also had a headache.
The Liu family has always politely refused and refused to accept the marriage. I really didn't expect that Prince Ning would come to Shu in person to propose marriage. This time, it was no longer possible to accept the marriage.
Seeing Governor Liu's frown, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but laugh: "You, you are really asking for trouble. Prince Ning's visit to Shu was approved by the emperor and the queen. It can be seen that the emperor has tacitly approved of our Liu family and Prince Ning's mansion.
Getting married. What else do you have to worry about?"
"To put it bluntly, even if we are married, don't we, the Liu family, just want to marry Prince Ning? Even if Prince Ning does something wrong in the future, it will not affect our Liu family. Bibi, who is married to a high-ranking family in the capital.
All of them, are they all as scrupulous as you?"
Sheriff Liu's frown slightly relaxed and he glanced at his old wife: "You have figured it out a long time ago, why didn't you agree to the marriage earlier?"
Mrs. Liu smiled slightly: "The feelings of young people are very strong. If you get it too easily, you may not take it seriously. Only those who have worked hard and worked hard to get it will know how to cherish it. Prince Ning is willing to come in person.
Shu's request to marry Sister Yan is worthy of marrying our most beloved granddaughter to him."
The Liu family is prosperous, and there are more than a dozen grandchildren in this generation. Liu Yan is the most outstanding among the granddaughters, and is the most popular among her grandparents.
Mrs. Liu has been thinking about the lifelong happiness of her most beloved granddaughter for a long time: "Master, think about it, Prince Ning has put up such a big show to propose marriage. If we still don't respond, it will not only bring disgrace to Prince Ning's palace, but also bring disgrace to the family."
It has ruined the face of the Emperor and the Queen."
"Besides, if you miss this marriage, who else would dare to ask for Sister Yan's hand in marriage?"
"Prince Ning has come to visit, so we can take a closer look at his character."
Sheriff Liu took a breath and nodded.
…
The next day, Brother Ting came to Liu Mansion.
Brother Ting is quite tall, much taller and stronger than other young men of the same age. He has an extremely handsome face, with the unique vitality and heroism of a young man. When he stands there, he is very charming.
Mrs. Liu looked over and there was a smile in her eyes. She was very warm and polite to Brother Ting: "Prince Ning has traveled thousands of miles to come to Shu. You might as well stay in Shu for a while."
Brother Ting came here to propose marriage this time, and he insisted on the courtesy of a junior. He smiled attentively and warmly and said: "This junior also has this plan. From now on, I will have to come to the Liu Mansion often to disturb you."
Mrs. Liu County Sheriff Liu: "..."
Today's young people are really not reserved at all!
No matter how impatient Brother Ting was, he did not dare to bring up the matter of marriage on his first visit to the Liu Mansion. He sat there for half a day, chatting with Mrs. Liu, the governor of County Liu.
When it was time to eat, Sheriff Liu had no choice but to leave lunch behind.
All the men of the Liu family showed up, but unfortunately, Liu Yan was never seen.
Brother Ting hid his disappointment and secretly encouraged himself. Everything is difficult at the beginning! You must be patient!
After this day, Brother Ting came to visit Liu's house from time to time.
Governor Liu had no time to spend with her, so Brother Ting shamelessly chatted with Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu inquired intentionally or unintentionally, and Brother Ting knew it all, and his attitude towards Mrs. Liu was extremely calm: "...I lost my parents when I was young, and I grew up with my fifth uncle. I live in the palace.
It will be more than ten years before I leave the palace and return to Prince Ning’s Mansion when I get married. Prince Ning’s Mansion and Prince Min’s Mansion are right next door. Cousin Lin and I are just like brothers. We brothers don’t have any ambitions. Now we learn to be errands, and in the future
By taking some errands, I can also take care of Uncle Seventh Emperor's worries."
The Liu family was just a family of middle-level officials. They were loyal to the emperor and had neither the ability nor the desire to get involved in the fight for the throne. Therefore, the Liu family had been slow to respond to the good marriage offers that came to them.
If you want to marry Liu Yan, you have to dispel the concerns of the Liu family.
Yin Xiaoxiao had said these words several times before leaving the capital.
Brother Ting was taught and brought up by Yin Xiaoxiao and was deeply influenced by her. Furthermore, in the past two years, the situation in the DPRK and the emperor's will have become increasingly clear. Brother Ting has no such ambitions, and he does not dare to give birth to children he should not have.
thoughts.
When he said these words at this time, Brother Ting looked magnanimous.
Whether a person is ambitious or not cannot be determined in a short while. But it can be seen if a person has a clear mind.
Mrs. Liu listened silently, the smile in her eyes getting deeper and deeper: "It's great that the prince can think so."
Brother Ting stood up, clasped his fists and bowed, with a very sincere expression: "Everyone in the Liu family knows my purpose of coming. I have my heart set on Miss Liu, and I hope to marry Miss Liu as the Crown Princess of Ning. I hope Mrs. Liu will agree."
!”
Mrs. Liu did not agree immediately, but only smiled gently: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. When the Master returns home, I will discuss it with you and then give you a reply."
Brother Ting was a little disappointed, but he cheered up and agreed with a smile.
Everything that needs to be said has been said, and it’s time to go.
Brother Ting opened his mouth to say goodbye, and Mrs. Liu smiled casually and said: "The prince has been in Shu for half a month, and has been to Liu's house a few times. I haven't seen Sister Yan yet, so I asked her to come out to see the prince off."
Brother Ting: "..."
What a sudden surprise!
Brother Ting was so happy that he could only giggle.
Mrs. Liu couldn't help but smile when she saw Brother Ting's silly look.
…
After a cup of tea, a beautiful and graceful girl appeared in front of Brother Ting.
After graduating from Lianchi Academy, Sister Yan returned to Sichuan. Brother Ting shamelessly sent Sister Yan away from Beijing that day. This separation lasted more than a year.
In fact, for more than a year, Brother Ting wrote many letters in private. But he did not have the courage to send letters to Shu.
At this moment, they met suddenly and saw Sister Yan who was even more beautiful and elegant than before. Brother Ting's heart was agitated, and words rushed to his tongue, but he couldn't say a word.
It took a long while before he squeezed out a few words: "Miss Liu, you're fine."
Sister Yan's voice trembled slightly: "I'm fine, how is the prince?"
Brother Ting stared deeply at Sister Yan and whispered: "Not seeing her for one day is like three autumns."
Sister Yan was both shy and happy, and her face seemed to sparkle with crystal brilliance in an instant.
Mrs. Liu coughed: "Sister Yan, on behalf of my grandmother, send the prince out of the house."
Sister Yan: "..."
Grandma, you haven’t left yet!
Brother Ting: "..."
Mrs. Liu, why are you still here?
Both the boy and the girl blushed because of their oblivious act a moment ago.
Mrs. Liu was secretly amused, stood up, and left with the help of the maid.
The blush on Sister Yan's face did not fade, and she quickly glanced at Brother Ting: "I'll take you out of the house."
Brother Ting grinned and nodded in agreement.
That silly look was quite cute. Sister Yan felt sweet in her heart, pursed her lips and smiled, and sent Brother Ting out of the house. She just regretted that the journey was too short, no matter how slow and dilly-dally, it only took about one stick of incense to arrive.
Brother Ting mustered up his courage and said, "Miss Liu, wait for me to marry you!"
Sister Yan's cheeks turned red and she nodded slightly.
