No, such a good marriage is just a trap in the sky. That is why this kid is pretending to be noble and is playing hard to get!
Thinking of this, Duke Zhen Guo's somewhat excited face suddenly returned to calm.
"It's just that this junior has one condition -"
Did he even put forward conditions?
Duke Zhen Guo asked patiently: "Tell me and listen."
If you want to use the Zhenguo government office to gain some future benefits, that's fine. How many people are born without profit? Seize the opportunity, as long as it is not excessive, there is nothing to say.
But if you say some unreasonable and embarrassing conditions to Zhao Zhao, don't blame him for falling out.
But I heard the young man say: "If the day comes to send the girl from your mansion back, I hope that we can reunite and part ways in the name of peace and separation, so as to save the face of both families."
In his family, face is the most important thing. If the other party really wants to divorce his husband, I am afraid that my grandfather will not be able to bear such a blow.
The Duke of Zhen Guo was stunned.
Why...could it be that the previous words were overheard?
Even so, the old man didn't think there was anything wrong. After thinking about it carefully, he nodded.
It's not an excessive condition.
Divorcing a husband or something like that is to prevent the other party from clinging to him. Since the young man is so happy, there is no reason to have to abandon him.
Therefore, he nodded: "It's a good time to get together and part ways, so that's the best thing."
The young man, who felt that he had finally gotten rid of the shadow of his divorced husband, breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately he said: "It's just that these are the words of a junior, and there is always a lot that can be done. The remaining matters need to be discussed with the family. Only when the results are obtained can we formally reply to your mansion."
He was reluctant to agree at first, partly because he was concerned about his family, and secondly because he did not want to use the marriage as a way to repay his kindness, for fear of harming others and himself.
Only because the old man in front of him mentioned that this marriage was just a formality, he was shaken.
"This is natural." Zhen Guogong was in a good mood at this time.
After all, it was worth being happy to be able to negotiate a good deal. To be happy, it had to be done in a gentle manner to be called happy - unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to force him with a knife and disperse the happiness.
As for whether the other party’s family is willing to agree to this?
Of course it would be best to agree.
If you don’t agree——
He had just won a victory, and if he went to the emperor to ask for help, what else could he not accomplish?
He rarely goes to the emperor to ask for anything. In this position, he has won many battles. The gold, silver, fields and houses that the emperor rewarded are actually no reward... It is a good thing that he takes the initiative to ask for something.
"I heard you speak in Beijing dialect, but are you from Beijing?"
The Duke of Zhen asked just now, and he didn't think it was too late.
Deciding on a verbal marriage before knowing clearly about family background may seem impulsive, but in fact it is because the old man does not care about this.
Of course, you also have enough decision-making power to regret at any time.
People are confident enough to do whatever they want.
"This junior is from Ningyang, but he has been to the capital many times."
"Ningyang?"
Duke Zhenguo went to serve tea and said, "That is a good place. With that old guy, King Dingnan, guarding it, the people are rich and happy..."
Although he quarreled with Wu Jun's mortal enemy when they met, we cannot deny the fact that the Wu family has brought blessings and blessings to the people.
Wu Chao:……
Old guy?
The Duke of Zhen Guo did not pay attention to the young man's expression, and asked casually: "Is there anyone in the family who is an official?"
"My father happens to be working in the capital—"
The Zhenguo Justice wanted to ask more questions, but he heard the servant guarding the door say: "Master, Miss Liu is here."
The Duke of Zhen heard this and looked outside.
Wu Chao also glanced at it subconsciously.
The girl was wearing a water-pink dress and holding a vermilion tray in her hand.
Are you chasing me here after giving you food?
I guess he was either too attentive, or he came here specifically to see him.
Could it be that the girl from this family didn't want to come and see it herself, so she sent others over?
Thinking like this, Wu Chao frowned slightly, stood up and saluted Duke Zhen Guo, then turned around and entered the inner room.
He no longer wanted to bear that look, as if inspecting goods.
The Duke of Zhenguo stood up and walked out.
"Old Master."
Liu Yi saluted with a soft and well-behaved smile on her face, as if the person in front of her was her closest elder: "I heard that you were back. Yi'er didn't have time to greet you in the future, so she went to the kitchen to make some summer soup. At first I heard that you were back.
I went to Zhaozhao and Xiyuan, but I didn't see you. I asked my servants and then I found you."
Duke Zhenguo nodded slightly, his expression quite gentle: "You are serious."
The old servant Yun Bo on the side took the soup over.
Liu Yi said with a smile: "Yi'er won't delay the old master's work. When you are free later, Yi'er will listen to you about the interesting things that happened on the battlefield this time."
Uncle Yun curled his lips quietly.
If you're afraid of delaying the old lady's work, don't come.
Furthermore, the old man told the interesting things on the battlefield to make the girl happy. She listened a few times and thought he was telling her specially? Now that their girl is sick, the old man still has to find time to give her some fun.
Does she tell interesting things?
Moreover, his biological father died on the battlefield, yet he could still listen to what happened on the battlefield as anecdotes. He is also very generous.
To put it bluntly, Miss Liu's father was originally just a soldier under his old master. He just happened to die in front of the old master. Before his death, he left a message asking the old master to help take care of his wife and daughter——
Their old master was kind and righteous, and he was known to be considerate of his subordinates. After returning to Beijing, in addition to the pension provided by the imperial court, the town government also provided a lot of support to the mother and daughter.
Later, when the weather was dry in summer, the family's house caught fire due to carelessness in lighting the lamp at night, and several houses were burned to the ground. Fortunately, the mother and daughter escaped unharmed.
The woman cried and begged to go to the town government's mansion and beg the old man to take them in for a few days because her husband died in the war.
The old man naturally agreed.
The mother and daughter stayed together for more than just a few days, and the woman also had a rare and good cooking skill, which the masters praised endlessly.
At that time, their girl was only five or six years old, and she had no playmates in the house. The eldest girl, Liu, was only one and a half years old. She was very good at making their girl happy, and coaxed the girl who didn't like reading and calligraphy when she was young to be a little docile.
Some of them came and went, and they decided to live in the Zhenguogong Mansion permanently.
It wasn't until three years ago that the woman remarried and moved out.
To be honest, at first he saw that the woman wanted to get attached to the eldest man of his family, but he just couldn't catch his eye, so he gave up.
The mother-in-law remarried, but the daughter was unwilling to leave. She only said that she was willing to be a maid in the Duke's mansion for the rest of her life.
But after all, it is impossible to be a maid. At most, she can only occasionally cook snacks and boil soup for the masters to show her diligence.
After all, since he was a child, this man has been clever, clever and sensible, and because of his closeness to the girl, for more than ten years, the people in the house have been treating her as half a master.
At first, he, a servant, didn't think it was a big deal. Anyway, their government had no shortage of money, and they were generals. The rules were not that strict, and they didn't care about raising another poor girl.
But maybe he was too idle, and when he paid too much attention, he always felt something was wrong.
There's something wrong, and it doesn't make sense.
When he said it, it seemed like he was embarrassing the little girl, it was too narrow-minded and trivial. If he didn't say it, he would always be displeased. So he could only mutter a few words in his heart to satisfy his taste.
Over there, the Duke of Zhenguo smiled and nodded, and Liu Yi bowed and left.
At this time, under the guidance of the servant, a young man wearing an azure robe walked towards here.
When Liu Yi heard the footsteps passing by, the smile in his eyes suddenly became more genuine.
