Reborn to be married, the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion is so sweet
Chapter 104 Promise
Hearing this, General Li laughed and said loudly: "Please come in, please come in."
Li Weining stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do. Li Suining patted her on the shoulder in amusement, and together with Lin Wan, they pulled her to the inner room separated by a screen.
Li Weining didn't come back to his senses until he sat down. He nervously tugged at the handkerchief in his hand, "Sister..."
"Why are you so nervous? Weren't you the one who was bold enough to dress up as a man before?"
"Sister..." Li Weining blushed and glared at Li Suining, then said to Lin Wan who was smiling beside her, "Sister Lin, why did my father suddenly invite someone to our house?"
The palace examination just ended this morning, and yet you called me home so soon? Wouldn't it make it easy for people to guess why? How embarrassing!
Lin Wan smiled as she looked at her shy little daughter and teased, "Of course Uncle Li will be anxious. Otherwise, if someone else gets there first, it will be his daughter who will be sad!"
"oops……"
As they were talking, Ye Zexian had already entered the house led by a servant.
Lin Wan, Li Suining and the other two immediately stopped talking, secretly moved closer to the screen and looked at the top scholar outside.
Ye Zexian came here right after he left the palace, so he was still wearing his blue robe.
Although he had become the top scholar, he was not too proud and arrogant, but his brows were more proud and he looked more energetic and sharper than before.
Seeing General Li and his wife, Ye Zexian stepped forward to greet them: "Greetings, General Li, Madam Li."
Be calm and open.
"No need to be so polite, Mr. Ye." Seeing that he was so polite to a rough man like him, General Li was even more satisfied. He strode forward and personally pulled his arm, "Glad that you're here. I was afraid that you would think I was rude."
Ye Zexian stood up straight, "General Li, you are too polite. You can just call me by my name."
"Okay, okay, then don't call me General, just call me Uncle Li."
Ye Zexian didn't know General Li at first. He just thought he was the master of some family and didn't know that he was Li Weining's father.
In order to check out who his youngest daughter likes, General Li and Madam Xu secretly went to Moxiangzhai. They both dressed like ordinary rich people and said they wanted to buy gifts for their nephews and nephews. Ye Zexian recommended them. Later, when they went there again, they met Ye Zexian who was in trouble, so he helped him. The two got to know each other and found that they could talk to each other. They both had a good impression of each other.
During today's palace examination, General Li did not stand very close to the front, and Ye Zexian was even less likely to look around, so it was not until the end of the palace examination and General Li was waiting for him at the palace gate that he realized that the rich master he met a few days ago was actually a general in the court.
He is also Li Weining's father.
When I think of Li Weining, I think of her disguising herself as a man and going to his study to watch him debate. She was obviously not a person who loved books that much, but she went there every day and read a book for half a day.
Ever since the results of the spring imperial examination were announced and Ye Zexian was on the list, there was an endless stream of people who wanted to invite him to dinner or even to stay at their homes for a while. He refused them all and continued to stay in Moxiangzhai, working as a waiter peacefully.
But outside the palace gate, when General Li explained his identity to him and mentioned Li Weining, and wanted to invite him to his house for dinner, Ye Zexian hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
Even when General Li invited him to come back with him, he used the excuse of getting something and went to the street to buy some snacks and brought them over.
Ye Zexian didn't dare to think about why he did this, but he did it according to his heart.
"This is a snack I bought on the street. It's not worth much. I hope Uncle Li doesn't mind."
As he spoke, he handed over the things in his hand. General Li took them carelessly and said, "Don't mind, don't mind!"
Seeing this, Xu looked Ye Zexian up and down, feeling extremely satisfied. "Congratulations to Mr. Ye for winning the first place in the imperial examination. Mr. Ye is so talented, no wonder my general and my daughter always praise you at home! You really deserve the reputation."
As the saying goes, the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him.
He is talented, young, handsome, and has good character. He is good in every way.
Xu is now extremely satisfied with Ye Zexian.
"You're too polite, ma'am." Hearing this, Ye Zexian's heart moved and he said modestly.
Li Weining was hiding at the back, and when he heard Xu say directly that she had praised Ye Zexian at home, he nervously grabbed Lin Wan's hand.
"I, why did my mother say that? What would Master Ye think of me if he heard it?"
Li Suining was standing on the other side of Lin Wan. Hearing this, he sneered, "If you speak louder, Master Ye will really be able to see you."
When Li Weining heard this, she covered her mouth in fear and stared at Ye Zexian. Seeing that he looked normal and had not noticed that they were hiding here, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But after looking at it again and again, Li Weining felt his heart beating fast, as if he could never see enough.
Outside, the three of them exchanged a few more pleasantries. Xu had changed from calling him Master Ye to calling him Little Ye. Li Weining's face became redder and redder, but he didn't dare to make a sound.
By the time the servants had prepared the banquet and everyone was seated, General Li could no longer wait.
After a glass of wine, General Li spoke directly, "Xiao Ye, you came to Beijing alone to take the exam, and now you have passed the exam at the age of twenty. I wonder if your family has arranged a marriage?"
The wine glass in Ye Zexian's hand shook slightly, and after calming down, he replied honestly: "There is only an old mother at home, and there is no marriage yet."
"I have a little daughter at home who is waiting to be married. She is just sixteen this year. She is beautiful and has a good temper. She is a perfect match for you!"
Li Weining, who was eavesdropping behind the screen, almost jumped up when he heard this. Is it so direct?
This is too straightforward!
Seeing this, Lin Wan and Li Suining looked at each other and smiled. Seeing that Li Weining was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, they both covered their mouths and laughed.
What does it mean to catch a son-in-law from under the list? Since it is called catching, you have to do it cleanly and efficiently. Just take action if you see someone you like.
If we just go back and forth like usual and try to test the waters, what if someone else gets there first? Then it's gone.
When Ye Zexian outside heard this, he frowned slightly.
"You two are talking about Miss Li."
"Yes, you should have seen my Wei Ning before, you know him all!"
"know."
"Well, that's good. We have two daughters. Her elder sister has married into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Now we have only Wei Ning, our precious daughter. Although she is the youngest daughter, she is not spoiled at all. She has a good personality, is kind and lovely, and is beautiful. I dare say that among all my colleagues, my daughter is the best in both appearance and personality!"
General Li boasted without any reservation.
Li Weining felt so embarrassed after hearing this, how could anyone boast like that!
After a while, Ye Zexian's voice came from outside, "Miss Li is really good!"
Although there were only a few words, Li Weining was filled with joy when he heard them. He, he remembered himself and still felt that he was very good!
"Do you really think so?" Mrs. Xu was delighted when she heard this. "Xiao Ye, we took the liberty of inviting you here today because we actually want to marry you. My little daughter is really great, and we all like you very much. Are you willing?"
Behind the screen, Li Weining no longer knew what expression to make.
This... is so direct!
"Sister, what happened to mom and dad?"
She stared at Li Suining blankly and asked in disbelief.
Li Suining looked at her with amusement, "What do you think it means to be quick and direct when choosing a son-in-law? Since you like him, just say it openly. That's called sincerity!"
Li Weining looked at Ye Zexian in the hall, his heart slowly rising to his throat.
Will he agree?
