Madam Jing advised: "Don't be angry, madam. There is a reason for this. Mr. Li is naturally not bad either. Just listen to my explanation."
"Mrs. Mirror, what do you say?"
Mrs. Jing whispered a few words into her ear, and then Mrs. Guogong looked at Li Lin, nodded, and took Mrs. Jing to talk elsewhere.
As soon as these two people left, there were only three grown men left in the room. Duke Zhenguo ordered someone to bring over the chessboard and asked Li Lin to play a game with him. Li Lin naturally did not disagree.
On the chess game, you and I were fighting, but the faces of the two of them were calm and clear. Su Xun watched from the side and felt that the atmosphere between the old and the young was a bit strange.
Duke Zhen Guo asked: "Are you really going to marry A Wan?"
Li Linlao had a son and led the troops to encircle and suppress him, but he said: "Of course it is true. How can there be lies about marriage?"
The Duke of Zhen frowned and said, "Your Majesty may not be willing to do so."
Li Lin's face was calm: "Your Majesty, what do you have to do with me?"
Okay, Duke Zhen Guo has nothing to say. His Majesty really has nothing to do with you, but you want to marry a noble daughter of Dong Zhao, who is the granddaughter of his most trusted general and the granddaughter of Duke Zhen Guo. He also Do you have any ideas?
Maybe he was wondering if this guy named Li had an ulterior motive.
This relationship is very delicate. The current balance between the Six Kingdoms and Li City is just like the balance between the Zhenguo Palace and the Zhao royal family. If nothing happens, they will be safe. If this balance is broken, it will be a matter of life and death. .
The Duke of Zhen Guo asked about his future plans again: "Where will you live in the future?"
Li Lindao: "In the past few years, I will stay in my mother's hometown, and I will probably go back in a few years."
The Li family has a rule of only marrying one wife. Similarly, they also have a rule of teaching their children and grandchildren. They do not stay in Licheng all year round. Every father will take his children to travel far away and teach them how to read books. , understand the truth of the world.
Therefore, Li's disciples have always been different. They can sit in the court and enjoy wealth, and they can be villagers in the mountains and have a simple meal.
No matter where you are or what the situation is, you can be calm.
Duke Zhen Guo also admired the children of the Li family very much. He also had some friendship with Li Lin's father, but it was just a little superficial. Now, he naturally did not disagree with Li Lin's proposed grandson-in-law.
It's just that the Zhenguo Palace suddenly got involved with the Li family, and the situation was a bit delicate.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that the Zhao Dynasty may not trust the Zhenguo Government in the future. The advantage is that with the existence of the Li family, the Zhao Dynasty will not dare to touch them unless there is a fight.
"Okay, you can decide for yourself. I only have one granddaughter, A Wan. I hope you treat her well."
Li Lin stood up, bowed his hands, and bowed to Duke Zhen: "Lin, you will definitely live up to your trust."
The Duke of Zhenguo laughed with satisfaction, then asked people to prepare the meal, and called his two sons back to drink and eat together.
Su Xun was dizzy and didn't know how Duke Zhen Guo agreed so easily. He finally found a chance to ask Li Lin: "What did my father-in-law mean by what he just said to you? What kind of riddles are you playing?" "
Li Lin smiled: "Third Master, you might as well take a guess."
Su Xun hesitated for a moment: "If I can guess it, do I still need to ask you?!"
Li Lin smiled meaningfully: "Then the Third Master will naturally understand in the future."
Su Xun: "..."
I suddenly don’t want to agree to this marriage, and this son-in-law is also a bit embarrassed!
Mrs. Jing chatted with the Duke's wife for a while, and privately revealed Li Lin's identity. After all, the Duke of Zhen knew him, and they couldn't hide it since they were husband and wife.
"He doesn't like too many things, so he keeps it secret. Madam, don't worry, he is fine."
The Duke's wife was a little dazed, but she also felt that just as Mrs. Jing said, this marriage couldn't be better, so she naturally nodded in agreement.
So the marriage was preliminarily finalized, and they were just waiting to choose a date for the Li family to go to Jinning Marquis Mansion to propose marriage.
When the three of them left the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, Su Xun was still a little dazed. He had already prepared to be scolded when he left, and he was probably going to be beaten up if he came too close, but he didn't expect that... That's how it went.
pass? !
He reached out and touched his face: "Am I dreaming?!"
Mrs. Jing smiled and said: "Then you have to wake up. Don't you feel surprised? In the blink of an eye, your daughter has grown up and is about to get married."
Su Xun sighed: "Yes..."
In a blink of an eye, his daughter was old and about to get married. Thinking of this, he looked at Li Lin with a somewhat dissatisfied look and thought to himself, if this boy bullied his girl, he might just stab him with a knife.
Mrs. Jing said: "The next step is to propose marriage. Let's find someone to look for a good time. Then I will accompany Mr. Li to his house. If you have any requests, just ask them. We will definitely get things done. Pretty.”
"Okay, let's discuss it carefully."
Then the three of them said goodbye and went back to their homes in their own carriages.
Su Wan didn't know that Su Xun took Li Lin to the Zhenguo Palace. When Su Xun came back, he went to Fupingyuan and told Wang about it. When he came back and told her, she was still a little confused.
She was worried that the Zhenguo government would not look down on Li Lin, a poor family, but she didn't expect it to be so easy? !
"Grandpa and grandma didn't say anything?!"
"What's there to say?" Su Xun said, "Mrs. Jing still has a way. Your grandmother was a little dissatisfied at first, but I don't know what Mrs. Jing said to her, so she agreed."
"As for your grandfather..." Su Xun always felt that the two of them were a little strange. "I always feel that your grandfather and that guy Li Lin know each other? That's weird."
Su Wan obviously found it impossible. She also knew who her grandfather was, so how could he possibly meet a young man like Li Lin.
"But that's not important." Su Xun sighed, "What's important is what happens next. Oh, I have time to watch. I mustn't let him mess around and get something that can't be put on the table." .”
The matter of Sufuti's marriage was originally kept secret by both families. The Marquis of Jinning didn't want people to know such a shameful thing, and Princess Zhao didn't want people to know that she was so rude. But for some reason, someone spread the news. Got out.
Nowadays, many people in Mandi City are laughing at her, openly or covertly.
What's the use of marrying into Prince Zhao's palace? Your husband's family doesn't value you, so don't even think about having a good life in the future.
What Su Xun thought was that although Li Lin's background was a place of criticism, he could still earn some face by handling things in a glorious manner.
