Be careful when looking at each other and be generous when discussing marriage. This is the sincerity of marriage.
At critical moments, if you go round and round and play it subtle, that's just a joke.
Wang Qiluo watched all this from behind the screen, too nervous to speak.
Outside, Liu Shuhui saw General Wang displaying so many things. He finally frowned and said, "Uncle Wang wants to marry me?"
"That's right!" General Wang was unambiguous, "To be honest, my little daughter has admired you for a long time and mentioned your name to me several times. Her mother and I have seen you seriously and feel that you are an upright person, Xiaoliu. I want to betroth my daughter to you."
Liu Shuhui's brows furrowed more and more, and he fell silent.
Seeing his hesitation, Mrs. Jiang on the side asked, "Is it possible that Mr. Liu is already married in his hometown?"
Liu Shuhui shook his head, "That's not true."
"Does that mean you have a sweetheart?"
"No." Liu Shuhui shook his head.
"What's going on? Do you think my family's dowry is too small?"
Liu Shuhui was silent at this time, with a hint of rejection clearly on his face.
Wang Qiluo, who was behind the screen, watched Liu Shuhui fall into silence. Her face calmed down instantly. As time passed by, General Wang became impatient.
He is a martial artist, and what he likes is the first take. When he first fell in love with Liu Shuhui, he also took a fancy to his refreshing energy.
But now, their family's sincerity is enough. If you don't like it and think it's too little, just put it first.
What does this moment of silence mean?
"Liu Shuhui, I am interested in you not because you are the top scholar in a new subject. Even if you failed in the imperial examination today and were awarded the same rank as a Jinshi, I will still invite you to the banquet. You are hesitant now, maybe you think our Wang family is too small. .”
"No, Uncle Wang." Liu Shuhui said.
"What is that! You don't look down on my daughter's first words!"
At this time, Wang Qiluo, who was behind the screen, rushed out first, "Dad, please stop forcing Mr. Liu!"
Lu Lingjun didn't even hold back. As she ran out, she followed, "Qiluo, what are you doing out here!"
When it comes to getting married, it's all the elders who talk about it. Even if it doesn't happen, it won't happen. Everyone understands it tacitly and won't talk nonsense.
If a girl sneaks in, words will spread easily.
"What do you want you to come out for? Come into the house!" Jiang couldn't help but say.
Wang Qiluo stood in the center. She looked at Liu Shuhui and said, "Mr. Liu, you don't need to care about what my parents say. If you don't want to, just leave."
Lu Lingjun listened to this silly girl's words and felt as if she had lost her mind.
She didn't wait for Liu Shuhui to speak. She looked at Liu Shuhui first and said, "Liu, I recommended your marriage to your uncle and aunt. At first, I was also interested in your character, but the marriage was consensual. I wish, in the end I am not careful, if you are not willing, just drink a glass of wine today and pretend it never happened."
She couldn't give Wang Qiluo, an unmarried girl, a bad reputation.
She was already married anyway, and she was the one who took the initiative to be the matchmaker. There was no problem for her to take care of her reputation at this time.
As Lu Lingjun said this, he poured a glass of wine on the dinner table and settled the situation.
Liu Shuhui looked at her, "Are you the matchmaker for me?"
"Yes, I like your character and think you can trust my sister for the rest of your life."
After Liu Shuhui's eyelashes fluttered, he pushed away Lu Lingjun's wine and said to General Wang, "Uncle Wang, my initial hesitation was not because I was unhappy with Miss Wang, but Shuhui is a poor boy. Although he has achieved fame, he has not yet I have an official position. If my uncle can trust me, Liu will come and marry Miss Wang if I am given an official position."
"When the time comes, I just hope that my uncle won't think my official is weak."
Liu Shuhui's every word is striking and resonant.
That's quite serious.
General Wang and Mr. Jiang who were sitting in the seats were all startled after hearing this, but General Wang reacted first, "You kid, why are you so stubborn about such a trivial matter! You are the number one scholar in a new subject, and you are far behind in official status!"
Liu Shuhui shook his head stubbornly and firmly, "I am a man, and I just have to be responsible. I don't have an official position, so I really don't dare to ask a woman to entrust her."
The second part of the sentence is that once entrusted to someone, you have to take care of it for the rest of your life.
Wang Qiluo on the side watched this scene calmly.
Liu Shuhui looked at her and said seriously, "Miss Wang, can you wait for me for a while?"
Wang Qiluo was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears and smiled, her eyes sparkling with stars. After nodding, she grabbed Lu Lingjun's hand and ran back into the house quickly.
When General Wang and Mrs. Jiang outside saw this, they all laughed.
General Wang pointed at Liu Shuhui and said, "You brat! You almost scared my daughter!"
"Xiao Liu, why are you like this?" Jiang Shi also laughed.
Liu Shuhui looked at Wang Qiluo and his wife leaving, turned around, and said to them, "The general and his wife trust me so much, so Liu must be more serious."
"Okay, let's eat."
"Yes, eat!"
Lu Lingjun was taken back to her boudoir by Wang Qiluo. During the whole process, Wang Qiluo kept chattering.
The children's mentality and thoughts cannot be hidden.
The back and forth was just what Liu Shuhui said in the room just now.
She analyzed his words over and over again for a long time, and then said, "Sister, do you think Mr. Liu said that on purpose because he was afraid that I wouldn't be able to step down?"
"Do you think that stubborn donkey is the kind of person who cares about other people's faces?" Lu Lingjun smiled.
"Sister, please stop calling Mr. Liu a stubborn ass!"
"Okay, okay," Lu Lingjun responded hurriedly, "I haven't even gotten married yet, and my elbow is already at the door of someone else's house."
"You hate it, you hate it!" Wang Qiluo slapped Lu Lingyun.
After Lu Lingjun dodged twice, Wang Qiluo threw herself into her arms, "Sister, is this really done?"
"Okay, okay, after these few words back and forth, are you worried about Mr. Liu's character or are you worried that he won't get an official position?"
"Of course I'm afraid of an accident." Wang Qiluo's voice became softer and softer.
Lu Lingjun continued, "If he can't earn an official position, I will donate an official position to him to marry you!"
Wang Qiluo chuckled, so shy that she nestled in Lu Lingyun's arms and said nothing else.
When Lu Lingjun came out of the Wang family, he happened to meet Liu Shuhui who had also finished the banquet. The Wang family arranged a carriage to take him back.
The two met at the door. Liu Shuhui saw her and said, "Why do you trust me? Aren't you afraid that I will be unreliable and harm your sister?"
Lu Lingjun smiled lightly and said without hesitation, "No, I believe you. I believe you must be a good person, and you will be a good official and a good husband."
"I forgot to congratulate you, Young Master Liu. You will surely rise to great heights and realize your ambitions in the future."
After Lu Lingjun said that, he left.
Liu Shuhui was thinking about her words in his mind and was stunned. After a while, he blinked his long eyelashes and said with more confidence and confidence in his eyes, "Go back."
A few days later, the official positions of the new scholars were arranged.
Liu Shuhui was personally appointed as the prefect of Yangzhou by the emperor.
