,!
Zhou Tong'er said that it was entirely up to his father and mother to make the decision, as if he had already expressed his feelings.
There was a large group of people present, most of whom had been here before, and they naturally knew very well what Zhou Tong'er's daughter's family was thinking.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Zhou Tong'er, who had a pretty face like a haze, and then glanced at the third son Liu Chengqian who was kneeling on the ground, laughing and waving his hand.
"Hahaha...good, good, so good.
Cheng Qian, you should get up first. "
"Thank you dad."
"Cheng Qian, did you hear what Tong Yatou said just now?"
Liu Chengqian immediately glanced sideways at the pretty and shy sweetheart next to him, and nodded without hesitation.
"Reply daddy, the kid heard it."
After Liu Mingzhi saw Sanzi's answer, he still stood there blankly and rolled his eyes angrily.
Is this bastard really his own?
Since you have heard what Zhou Tong'er said, why are you still sitting around? Are you quick to express your sincerity?
Liu Mingzhi swallowed the tea leaves in his mouth, looked up at Liu Chengqian, and glanced at Zhou Baoyu, Zhang Wanjun and his wife intentionally or unintentionally.
"Did you really hear that?"
Liu Chengqian was stunned and looked at his father with doubts.
Didn’t you already answer it just now? Why does Dad have to ask himself again?
Did you speak in a very low voice just now?
Liu Chengqian looked at Mr. Liu with some confusion and nodded again.
"Reply to Dad, the child has really heard it."
Seeing Sanzi's reaction, Liu Mingzhi felt as helpless as he could.
How could a child who is usually so smart turn stupid at a critical moment?
Wasn’t the hint in his eyes obvious enough just now?
Do you have to say it bluntly and express your sincerity to your future father-in-law and mother-in-law, so that you know what it means?
Oh, what a fool.
You must make me and your father angry to death!
Liu Mingzhi sighed silently in his heart, and while staring at Liu Chengqian, he brought the tea to his mouth and took a sip.
While drinking tea, he winked at Liu Chengqian again.
Liu Chengqian followed his father's frequent gestures and instinctively looked at Zhou Baoyu and his wife.
The moment he looked at Zhou Baoyu, he immediately realized what was going on.
He immediately turned back to look at Zhou Tong'er, and when he saw her looking at him coquettishly, her expression suddenly became embarrassed.
Zhou Tong'er saw the awkward expression on her sweetheart's face. She rolled her eyes with a cute look, then lightly pursed her lips and gestured to her parents.
Liu Chengqian blinked at Zhou Tong'er a few times, quickly walked to the stone table, picked up the pot and poured a few cups of tea.
He let out a silent breath, reached out to pick up a cup of tea, smiled softly and bowed before sending it to Zhou Baoyu.
"Uncle Zhou, please have tea."
Zhou Baoyu turned his head and looked at his considerate little cotton-padded jacket. After sighing silently in his heart, he immediately reached out and took the tea from Liu Chengqian's hand.
"No gifts."
"Thank you uncle."
After Liu Chengqian straightened up, he picked up a cup of tea again, walked to Zhang Wanjun unhurriedly, bowed and handed the tea cup over.
"Aunt Zhou, please have some tea."
Zhang Wanjun pretended to be a sheep and glanced at her husband casually. Seeing that he had started drinking tea, she took the tea with a smile.
"Cheng Qian, please forgive me."
"Thank you Aunt Zhou."
After Zhang Wanjun also took a sip of tea, Liu Chengqian slowly retreated to Zhou Tong'er's side and stopped.
"Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou."
Zhou Baoyu and his wife looked at each other, closed the tea lid, and then placed the tea cup on the stone table.
The couple were both experienced, so they naturally knew what Liu Chengqian was going to say next.
"Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou.
Tong'er is the apple of your eye, and your nephew knows very well how much you love her.
My nephew thanks you two elders for your willingness to marry her to my nephew.
Please rest assured that my nephew will definitely take good care of Tong'er in the future.
She will never be wronged in the slightest. "
Seeing Liu Chengqian's solemn expression, Zhou Baoyu nodded with relief.
"Chengqian."
"My nephew is here."
"A manly man, one spits on one's tongue and nails one on the other, and speaks the truth.
Uncle hopes that you can remember your promise today.
In the future, if you break your promise today, you will wrong my precious daughter.
When the time comes, don't blame your uncle for not giving your father face and punishing you severely. "
When Liu Mingzhi heard Zhou Baoyu's words, he smiled and took a sip of tea, then gently fiddled with the tea lid in his hand.
He knew very well that Zhou Baoyu's words seemed to be meant for Liu Chengqian, but in fact they were meant for himself.
"Baoyu, Madam-in-law."
"Hey, handsome."
"Commander."
"Don't worry, you two, I can guarantee you this.
In the future, after they get married, if this boy Cheng Qian has wronged Tong Yatou in the slightest, he will.
As the father of this young master, I will personally break his legs and send someone to you two to make amends. "
When Liu Chengqian heard what his father said, he quickly raised his head and raised his chest and waved his hands several times.
"Uncle Zhou, please rest assured, my nephew will never forget his promise today."
Zhou Baoyu nodded with a faint smile, and immediately stood up and picked up the pot to refill Young Master Liu's cup of tea.
"Commander, I'm serious, I'm serious."
Liu Mingzhi gently shook the folding fan in his hand and looked at Zhou Baoyu and rolled his eyes angrily.
"Zhou Baoyu, I'm so serious, uncle, you're almost bursting into laughter.
By fucking warning my young master’s son, aren’t you just criticizing my young master?
Do you think I am a fool and can't hear this? "
When Zhou Baoyu heard Young Master Liu's cursing words, not only did he not feel any embarrassment, but the smile on his face grew stronger.
He has been working under Liu Mingzhi for so many years, how could he not know his character clearly?
The more clearly Liu Mingzhi speaks, the less he is alienated from him.
"Commander, you think too much, you really think too much.
Even if I eat the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard, I will not dare to order you! "
"Screw you, uncle, you're just pretending to be ignorant while pretending to be ignorant."
Zhou Baoyu nodded with a smile on his face and quickly brought the tea he had poured in front of Young Master Liu.
"Yes, yes, Commander, whatever you say will be whatever you say.
Marshal, you drink tea, you drink tea. "
Liu Mingzhi raised his hand to take the tea cup, nodded and took a sip of tea, then winked at the third princess with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.
The third princess noticed her husband's gaze, nodded with a smile, and silently took off her jade bracelet from her wrist under the cuff.
Liu Mingzhi put down his tea cup, stood up and looked at Zhou Tong'er.
"Tong girl."
Zhou Tong'er's delicate body trembled slightly, and she subconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes.
"My little girl is here."
"Girl, I've said almost everything that needs to be said. Is there anything else you want to say?"
Zhou Tong'er pursed her red lips and thought for a moment. After looking at her parents, her pretty face was still slightly red and she shook her head a few times.
"Back to uncle, the little girl depends on her father, mother and the two elders make the decision."
"Chengqian."
"The child is here."
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
"Reply to Dad, the kid has nothing else to say."
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows with a smile, and looked back at Zhou Baoyu, Zhang Wanjun and his wife.
"Baoyu, Madam-in-law."
"The end will be here."
"My concubine is here."
"You must have heard what the two children said."
"Go back to the commander-in-chief. The general and his wife have already heard this."
Liu Mingzhi turned his back to Zhou Baoyu and his wife, and said with a smile: "It's good to hear it. After finishing the recent government affairs, I will send a matchmaker to propose marriage."
Zhou Baoyu turned to look at his wife Zhang Wanjun, with a look of inquiry in his eyes.
Zhang Wanjun looked at her husband's questioning eyes, thought for a moment with her eyebrows furrowed, and nodded with a slight smile.
Zhou Baoyu gave Zhang Wanjun a look of understanding, raised his hand and punched Mr. Liu.
"The general and his wife are waiting at any time."
Hearing Zhou Baoyu's answer, Liu Mingzhidan turned around with a smile.
"Baoyu, I have a suggestion to make regarding the life-long events of this boy Cheng Gan and Tong Yatou."
"Commander, please tell me."
"Baoyu, Madam-in-law, that's what I think.
It's winter now. If there are still auspicious days this year, I want Cheng Qian and Tong Yatou to get married this year.
And if there is no auspicious day this year, then wait until the auspicious day next year.
I wonder what you two think? "
Zhou Baoyu's heartstrings tightened, and he felt that this matter was a little too fast.
However, then he suddenly thought of his daughter's current age.
My caring little cotton-padded jacket is now twenty years old.
When the daughter's family reaches the age of twenty, she has not yet left the court to get married, so she is already the remaining eldest daughter.
You must know that many girls of similar age to her have already left the court and married as wives.
There are even many women who are now mothers of two children.
It cannot be said that there are no girls at the age of my good daughter who have not yet left the palace to get married, but only very few.
In the eyes of others, the good daughter is now the remaining big girl.
If he didn't let her out of the cabinet quickly, wouldn't she be getting older?
Thinking of this, Zhou Baoyu suddenly felt relieved.
Even, I felt faintly anxious.
Get married! Must marry.
And he wants to marry her off as soon as possible, as fast as possible.
Otherwise, it would take another one or two years.
Grandsons and granddaughters can go out on the street to fetch their grandfathers a drink.
But I can’t even hold my grandson or granddaughter in my arms!
Zhou Baoyu thought about it secretly, then immediately walked to Young Master Liu and nodded hurriedly.
“No problem, no problem.
Marshal, when do you think Cheng Qian and Tong'er are suitable to get married, then let them get married.
Commander, whatever you say, I will ensure that I will not have any objections. "
Liu Mingzhi's face was slightly stunned, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
"really?"
"Of course, as a man, you tell the truth."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Zhou Baoyu with strange eyes, thought for a moment, and vaguely understood what he was thinking.
"Okay, then just do what I said just now.
There are still auspicious days this year, so let the two of them get married this year.
There is no auspicious day this year. Wait until the auspicious day next year to get the two of them married as soon as possible. "
Zhou Baoyu clapped his hands and nodded happily.
“Okay, of course.
Just do as the commander-in-chief says, and the general will not have any objections. "
"Mrs. sister-in-law?"
"Commander, I, my concubine, obey my husband in everything.
He has no objection, and naturally I have no objection either. "
Liu Mingzhi took a long breath and turned to look at Qi Yun aside.
"Yun'er."
"Hey, I'm here."
"Are there any auspicious days this year?"
"Husband, I don't know much about this either. In recent days, I haven't paid much attention to this aspect.
Let's do this, I will ask Yu'er to check it out. "
As soon as Qi Yun finished speaking, she waved to the personal maid standing outside the pavilion.
When Liu Mingzhi saw this, he quickly waved his hand.
"Yun'er."
"Husband?"
"Yun'er, it's still early, so there's no need to be in such a hurry.
After we send someone to propose marriage, it won’t be too late to have someone check it out. "
Only then did Qi Yun realize that she seemed to be a little too anxious.
She turned her head and glanced at Liu Chengqian, chuckled and shook her head.
"Hey, when I'm so happy, I almost get wet."
Liu Mingzhi casually closed the jade fan in his hand, chuckled and nodded to the third princess.
The third princess chuckled and nodded her head, stood up and walked towards Zhou Tong'er.
"Tong'er girl."
"My little girl is here."
The third princess gently held Zhou Tong'er's delicate wrist and gestured towards the outside of the pavilion with soft eyes.
"Girl, go over there with your aunt."
"Hey, aunt, please go first."
"Husband, I and Tong'er will wait for you at the exit of the garden."
"knew."
Liu Mingzhi waited until the third princess, Zhou Tong'er and the others walked out of the pavilion, then turned towards Song Qing and Zhou Baoyu.
"Brother, Baoyu."
"Hey, third brother?"
"Commander?"
"I still have some paperwork to deal with in my study, so I won't let you drink today.
When I have some free time, we can have a good time and drink together. "
"Okay, brother Wei knows, brother Wei will say goodbye first."
"Commander, you are busy with your official duties first, and I will take my leave first."
As soon as Zhou Baoyu finished speaking, Zhang Wanjun immediately gave him a blessing.
"I, my concubine, will take my leave first."
Liu Mingzhi put the folding fan into his cuffs and waved with a smile.
"Let's go, I'll see you off."
"no, I'm fine.
"Yes, yes, sir, please stay."
Liu Mingzhi waved his hand casually and took the lead to walk out of the pavilion.
“It only takes a while, so why not give it away.
Yun'er, Sister Ya, you sisters come together. "
"Yes, my sisters know."
Song Qing and Zhou Baoyu looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
"Ma'am, let's go."
"Hey, husband, Brother Song, please come first."
Liu Mingzhi slowed down and looked back at Zhou Baoyu.
"Baoyu, you and your sister-in-law don't live in the capital all year round. Is it still convenient for you to have food and clothing in the Marquis Mansion?
If there's anything missing, just send someone to tell me, and I'll ask Liu Song to make arrangements for you. "
“Commander, no, no need.
The general and his wife sent a letter to the old housekeeper on the way, and he had already prepared everything that should be prepared. "
"That's good. When you have free time, you can bring your sister-in-law and Tong Yatou to visit us more often."
"Yes, the general knows."
"Brother."
"Um?"
"What we talked about earlier, how long do you think it will take?"
"About two years, three years at the latest."
"Oh ~ three years?"
Liu Mingzhi sighed to himself and nodded slightly.
"Well, I understand, I'll think about it again."
"OK!"
After the group walked out of the garden, they immediately saw the third princess and Zhou Tong'er standing under the corridor.
