Forget it

Liu Xi left the banquet without saying goodbye, and didn't return all night, only to return at dusk the next day, which angered Master Xiao Liu.

Kneeling in the ancestral hall for half a night, and being fined for another three days of confinement, he will ease his breath.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the confinement was lifted, he went out early and returned late and disappeared, making Xiao Liu very angry!

Ever since the eldest son returned home and took over Liu Xi's teachings, Mr. Liu has completely become a loving father. Whenever Mr. Xiao Liu is angry and wants to punish Liu Xi, out of habit, he always comes up to persuade him.The father and son cooperated internally and externally, which made Mr. Xiaoliu very angry, and in the end he simply let go, and returned to Beijing early angrily before the holiday was over.

As soon as Liu Wu left, Liu Xi no longer had any fears, and stayed at Du Yun's place every day until Liu Shao was willing to return unhappy.

Mrs. Liu saw the abnormal behavior of the youngest son and didn't take it to heart, but Mrs. Liu saw it and took it to heart.One day, Mrs. Liu came back from duty, Mrs. Liu hurriedly pulled Mrs. Liu, who hadn't come to change her official uniform, through the corridors and alleys, and entered the study of Liu Zi Provincial Court.

As soon as she entered the room, Mrs. Liu went straight to the desk in front of the window, pointed to the four or five books spread out on the table, and smiled mysteriously at Mrs. Liu, "Master, I'm afraid our Xiaoliu may be in love with you." Which daughter?"

"Oh," Mr. Liu was overjoyed. A few days ago, after returning to Beijing, Liu Wu wrote a long letter, probably meaning that Liu Xi would not be able to continue wandering around like this, so it is better to find a relative for him, so as to fix his temper.In his spare time these few days, Mr. Liu discussed with his wife which of the well-known families he knew, which age-appropriate daughters had good tempers and were suitable for his sixth grader. Unexpectedly, this kid would have a sweetheart before he made a sound. .

Master Liu was very happy, and went forward to look through the books on Liu Xi's case, and found that there were three collections of love poems and lamentations and one collection of Du Hanmei's essays.

It turned out that Liu Xi suffered from poor poetry and books that day, and didn't understand Du Yun's fault well enough. He was afraid that one day he would sing a sentimental song to himself and he would not be able to understand it. He would laugh at him and be puzzled. I simply went to the study to find three or four collections of poems, and I also bought a collection of Du Yun's previous poems to read.

Mr. Liu flipped through the books on the table, and snorted coldly, "You little boy, he doesn't do business all day long, and his mind is full of sex things."

"Master!" Although she knew that Mrs. Liu was just talking about it, Madam Liu still didn't like to hear it, and couldn't help but blame, "Isn't it the master who is used to Xiaoliu now? Xiao Liu might have already won the top prize in high school, so there is no need for the master to blame him for being playful."

Seeing Madam's sullen expression, Master Liu hurriedly laughed, "If I strictly control Xiao Liu, Madam will be willing?"

The couple looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Master Liu put down his book, took his wife out, and comforted him, "Don't worry, madam, I will leave this matter to an old man. If he really likes a girl, as long as he is in love with each other, he doesn't care about the other's family affairs. How about it, as long as the character is dignified, our family will have three books and six appointments, and marry people back home. Madam just wait at home, and when the time comes, drink the new wife's tea and hold grandchildren, hahahahahahaha..."

At night, when the lights were turned on in the porter's room, Liu Xun returned home leisurely.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, the wildflowers and weeds outside the hut are popping up again. Du Yun thinks that the two apricot trees at the door are really unsightly, so she takes Liu Xi to move them a nest.

Liu Xi smiled and recalled how Du Yun complained while pointing at the apricot tree during the day. .

Liu Zi waved his hand, said he got it, and sent Xiao Si down.

Changing into a loose robe, Liu Xi asked the servant to lead the way with a lamp, and went to Lord Liu's study.

Master Liu sat on the teacher's chair, looked at the young son's proud face, snorted, and Liu Xun hurriedly lowered his head in fright.

"Your brother sent a letter home the day before yesterday, you should read it first."

Feeling puzzled, Liu Xi stretched out his hand to take the letter spread out on the desk, read it by the bright light of the candle.

While Liu Xi was reading the letter, Master Liu was observing his words and expressions, "What your brother meant was exactly what my mother and I meant. These days we have also met a few daughters, Mrs. Zhou from the Zhou family in the east of the city, and Mrs. Zhou from the Lu family in the south of the city. Do you like Lu Jiuniang, and Chen Shiniang from Chen Tongpan's mansion?"

Seeing Liu Xi's eyebrows furrowed tighter, Lord Liu's eyes lit up, and his face remained calm, "Or do you have other plans?"

Liu Zi put down the letter and looked up at his father, "If I have a sweetheart, father is willing to make the decision for me, without asking my elder brother's opinion, just marry me as a matchmaker, and enter the ancestral temple?"

When Mrs. Liu heard this, he sighed secretly in his heart. This bastard might not really be looking for a decent girl. Thinking that he had already agreed to his wife, he couldn't help but get a headache, so he gave him a glare and said with a sullen face, "Let's listen first." !"

Now that Liu Xi is no longer afraid of his father, he just stands there, gritting his teeth and not opening his mouth.

Mr. Liu was helpless, thinking that he must have owed this evil son in his previous life, and in this life he would not let people toss about him for a moment.He dismissed the servants in the room with a wave of his hand, then sighed, and calmed down, "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. If you are really interested, and the other party is affectionate, the parents will naturally make three matchmakers and six hires for you. What are you doing to your brother?"

With Master Liu's consent, Liu Xun finally spoke with confidence, "Father, Zhou Zhouniang, Lu Jiuniang, and Chen Shiniang are all perfect and good daughters, but the son has his own heart, and I am afraid that he will disappoint his parents' good intentions."

Master Liu nodded, "Then which family's daughter is the one you are looking for, let me tell you."

Liu Xi looked gentle and smiled slightly, "The one my son likes is Du Silang from the Du family in Jiangnan."

Master Liu frowned when he heard about the Du family in Jiangnan, and thought for a while, "Speaking of the Du family in Jiangnan, the most famous...then we have to count the famous Du family in Jiangning Prefecture, hey, isn't that the official Du's family? ?”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Liu thought that the youngest son and Du Qing were very close, and it was reasonable. He glanced at Liu Xi, and saw that he nodded slightly, admitting it.

Master Liu was overjoyed, um, he is a very good family, after thinking about it again, his eyebrows frowned again, "Jiangnan Du's family, no, Du Qingji's family has three men and two women, four sons of the Du family... ...If the old man remembers correctly, it doesn't seem to be a daughter, hiss, it seems to be... it is..."

Seeing his father's difficulty in thinking, Liu Xi kindly helped him complete it, "It's Du Yun."

"Yes!" Master Liu patted the armrest, "It's Du Qingji, the fourth eldest of the Du family, famous..."

Master Liu's mouth was still open, and half of what he said stopped in his throat. He stared at Liu Xi, and his mind went blank for a moment.

Liu Xi was afraid that his father would not react, so he kindly explained, "Father, the person I am in love with is Du Mingyun, with a very clear character, and his name is Yugu Laonong, er, his old name is Hanmei Layman. Throw it away, and now live in seclusion under Mount Dai."

Master Liu withdrew his astonished facial features and fell silent.

The wind of broken sleeves has existed since ancient times. Master Liu has read poetry and books and is reasonable. Even if he cannot accept it for a while, he can understand it.

However, if the other party is Du Qingji...

"Liu Ziyi, let me ask you, answer honestly, is the matter between you and Du Qingji just wishful thinking or..."

"My husband and I agree with each other."

Master Liu stopped talking.

Parents must think long-term for their children.

Needless to say, Du Qing's excellent appearance and family background, Mr. Liu doesn't have to care even if he singles out Du Qingji's three words.However, Mr. Liu knew that Du Qingji was definitely not something in the pool for half his life. Although he temporarily hid himself from Daishan, since the day he came to Fengxiang Mansion to take office, the imperial court has never stopped wanting to transfer him back. .

What kind of person is Du Qingji? He was a third-rank scholar in the Hanlin back then, and the most highly regarded adviser in front of the Holy One. Not to mention his incompetent kid, even his elder brother Liu Zigui was inferior to him by three points.

Once Du Qingji resumes his handprint in the future and wears a purple robe, how can his innocent child be his opponent.

Thinking up to this point, Master Liu has a clear mind.

Du Qing is very good, but Liu Jiaxiao can't bear it.

He lowered his face, showed the majesty of a prisoner in the yamen, slapped the desk, glared and sternly said, "Liu Ziyi! This old man asked you to befriend the old farmer in Sumiya, and you made friends like this?! You don't need to say anything else, and you don't need your brother to come forward , the old man is the first to disagree, so you should die as soon as possible! You are not allowed to go anywhere these few days, stay in the Provincial Court and reflect on it!"

Liu Xi watched his father's face change three times, and finally uttered some cruel words, feeling empty in his heart, and suddenly made a fuss, "Father is going to stop talking, and just now he swore to his son that as long as he If two people are happy, father must agree, but now he says he is the first to disagree. Is this how father educated his son? Is this how Liu Zhifu treats promises? The son has opened his eyes today. The son has always respected his father as a gentleman. Come on, it's ridiculous!"

Master Liu didn't expect that the young boy with low brows and pleasing eyes would be so angry that his heart and lungs were throbbing, and he slapped the table angrily, "Nizi! That's how you talk to your father! It's true that the old man never disciplined you before, but now he does Such a self-willed and depraved thing! It's not a rule!"

Seeing that his father was so angry, Liu Zi felt uncomfortable, but he said relentlessly, "Since I have never disciplined him before, please ask my father to hold me up and let me go down."

"You!" Master Liu was furious, covering his chest with one hand, pointing at Liu Xun with the other, his fingers trembling with anger, "Go away! Go back and think about your mistakes behind closed doors, shame on me for wanting to make you happy? There is no door!"

Liu Xi was unwilling to open his mouth, but seeing his father's flushed face from anger, worried that his father would really be in a hurry, he finally endured it, and retreated without a word.
