A trace of astonishment flashed across Xie Zhao's eyes. She held her chin with one hand, feeling quite helpless.
This is really...what are you afraid of?
Xie Zhao frowned slightly and murmured in a daze: "...Is he really the eldest son of the Li family? This is a bit difficult to handle."
Ling You saw the difference in her expression, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked: "Is there something wrong with the eldest son of the Li family? Or does he have some bad reputation?"
Xie Zhao shook his head slightly, waved his hands casually, and smiled.
"It's not that there's anything wrong with it. I heard that this eldest young master has been very motivated since he was a child. Now his martial arts has reached the level of Mahayana people. He is a rare young master among the rich and powerful in the capital who is neither crooked nor squat. Son.
He is also extremely handsome, and he can be regarded as one of the most handsome men in Zhaoge City. But..."
You know, everything is afraid of a "but", "but" and "but"...
Han Changsheng had no patience at all when he heard the secret gossip. As soon as he heard Xie Zhao's "no", he immediately urged:
"——But what? You should tell me quickly, oh, I'm so anxious, and I don't want to show off at this time."
Xie Zhao sighed lightly, not in the mood to tease them.
"However, I heard that Mr. Li is now twenty-four years old and is not yet married..."
Ling You was slightly surprised, and his eyebrows paused slightly.
Yu Anan was also stunned.
"ah?"
Han Changsheng was startled for a moment, and then he said in confusion: "What expressions are you looking at? Isn't that a good thing? It means that the Li family has kept their old promise and has been waiting for An An!"
Ling You turned his head and glanced at the stunned Yu An'an calmly. He already understood Xie Zhao's unfinished meaning. So he turned away and explained for Xie Zhao:
"After the nobles in the court, they are different from the prodigal sons in the world. The children of wealthy families often get married early and have happy events early. Young men usually marry at the age of eighteen, and young ladies usually marry at the age of sixteen.
——But Mrs. Yu didn't want to recognize this family relationship, so she never had anyone come to her door to urge her in all these years. But what about the Li family?
The Li family clearly knows that Mrs. Yu and her daughter are in Pingzhou City, so why has the eldest son never come to inquire after many years of age? "
When he said this, he silently glanced at Yu Anan, who was frowning slightly.
"So, I think that Mr. Li has not married yet. He may not be waiting for An'an. Maybe there is some other reason that we don't know yet."
Han Changsheng thought for a while and felt that this seemed to be the case, so he frowned and asked again: "Could it be because An An is too young and has not yet reached the age to marry? So the Young Master of the Li family has been waiting for these many years. Have you wasted your years?"
Xie Zhao laughed, as if shocked by his naivety.
She shook her head, "How could it be? Are you kidding me about marrying someone at a wedding or a funeral? If you shout today, they will be carried in tomorrow? That's a small family taking concubines, but it's not the style of a noble man marrying a matchmaker.
An An is now sixteen years old. If the Li family really intends to fulfill the contract, then two or three years before An An reaches the right age, when An An is twelve or thirteen years old, someone will come to know Najib.
There are a lot of things to pay attention to when getting married, and the steps are complicated. Being too hasty will bring shame to both families. What's more, the bride must be given more than half a year to prepare the embroidery and dowry... Ling You guessed that the Li family might not want to fulfill the contract. "
When Han Changsheng heard this, he immediately became unhappy.
"What kind of unfaithful and unjust family is this? Thanks to Mrs. Yu and An An, they don't want to get married. Otherwise, wouldn't they be heartbroken by their snobbish looks?"
Xie Zhao smiled faintly, and unconsciously tapped her fingertips on the table...
I think Mrs. Yu has been more or less aware of the Li family's attitude over the years, so she was so determined to let Yu Anan return the old things, one by one, so as not to completely ruin the old friendship between the two families.
She said calmly: "Speaking of which, about this Li Suining... Oh, he is the eldest son of the Li family. I once heard in Zhaoge that he had caused some unlucky peach blossoms."
The three of them looked up at her.
Especially Han Changsheng, he is never willing to lag behind others when it comes to gossip and secrets, his eyes are shining brightly!
"'Unlucky rotten peach blossom'? - Azhao, tell me, tell me! Let me see how unlucky this heartless man is? Knowing that he is not living well makes me feel comfortable. Who made them feel sorry for us, An'an? "
Xie Zhao thought for a while and smiled first.
"Actually, we can't rely on him for this matter. Didn't I just say that he is one of the most beautiful men in Zhaoge City, and he is also a promising official son of the Mahayana people - well, if this person is born too much, It's not a good thing to be conspicuous. No, he's just provoking people he can't afford to offend."
Um?
The other three people couldn't help but be stunned.
In such a short moment, Han Changsheng's mind had already flashed through countless love-hate entanglements between love-hate men and women in story books.
Why?
etc!
Did he mess with someone he couldn't afford to mess with?
However, this Young Master Li is already the eldest prince of the Nine Admirals' Mansion, and his status and martial arts skills are both impressive. Who can make him stay away and dare not fight against him?
Han Changsheng suddenly had an idea and suddenly realized: "——I know! It's the princess! It's the princess who has taken a liking to him!"
Xie Zhao nodded happily. It seemed that this idiot's brain had improved a lot during this period, especially when he encountered trivial gossip about the parents.
However, before her generous praise could be spoken, Han Changsheng was heard shouting in shock as he pulled his neck:
"——It turns out that the 'Thousand-year-old Sword Immortal' has taken a fancy to him? So he intends to rob him by force?!"
Xie Zhao: "..."
Ling Or: "..."
Yu An'an: "..."
In a breathtaking silence, Han Changsheng dug his feet on the floor in embarrassment.
"...What's wrong? Didn't Xie Zhao just nod? Isn't he a princess?"
Xie Zhao was hesitant to speak, and said a sentence with confusion on his face: "What's the matter? Is there only one princess in the entire Nanchao Tianchen, the 'Thousand-year-old Sword Immortal'?"
Han Changsheng was stunned, "Ah, that's not true... that's right..."
He scratched his head and muttered in a low voice: "But you can't blame me. When you mention Tianchen's princess, looking at the whole world, the first name that pops up in everyone's mind is not the most famous one!"
After Ling was stunned, he shook his head helplessly and smiled, saying:
"If you think about it, you should know that this is impossible. Princess Tianchen is a world-renowned swordsman, the best swordsman in the Southern Dynasties, and the best swordsman in the martial arts today. How could she possibly rob a common man? ....."
Ling You frowned and glanced at Xie Zhao, who was lowering his head and smiling sullenly, as if he didn't understand what she was fussing about, and then added lightly to Han Changsheng:
"——Even if he is not a civilian man, it is impossible to rob an official son."
Han Changsheng thought that this was also the case, so he laughed innocently.
"Yes..."
Xie Zhao finally finished laughing. She wiped the water from the corners of her eyes that had been suppressed from laughing. She glanced at Han Changsheng again with a teasing look. She seemed to think that this child was stupid in a unique way and was not something ordinary people could do. Than, and then uttered a four-word pertinent evaluation with a smile and ruthlessness.
"What a banger."
Yu An'an suddenly bit her lip and asked softly: "So...which princess did Mr. Li offend?"
