Liu Quan was startled when he heard this and said curiously: "General, if you have anything to ask of me, you might as well say it plainly."
Hong Tao hurriedly said respectfully: "Back to Madam, actually... I came here today specifically to express my intention to marry into my wife."
Bringing in a wife?
What's the meaning?
Liu Quan thought about it for a while and couldn't help but said in surprise: "You couldn't be more... attracted to our Xiaotong, right?"
Hong Tao's face turned red when he heard this, and he nodded sheepishly.
Getting married is not a very glamorous thing, but it is in line with his current situation.
At the moment, he has no fixed address, no relatives, no relatives, no matter whether he is getting married or getting married, there is basically no difference.
all the same.
After calming down his mind, Hong Tao hurriedly said: "Madam, I have a keen eye. That's exactly what I mean, kid! To tell you the truth, I am sincerely devoted to Miss Xiaotong, and I have already made up my mind not to marry anyone but her. I hope you will learn from it." !”
real or fake?
For a moment, Liu Quan was confused.
However, Xiaotong, who was eavesdropping next door, was elated: This piece of wood finally had the courage to speak out what was in his heart.
Compared with before, there is a lot of progress.
However, for Liu Quan, his daughter's marriage must not be negotiated like a business deal. In this case, how could he easily agree to it?
Therefore, she adopted a prevaricating attitude: "Xiaotong's marriage is entirely decided by his father. I am a woman and it is not appropriate for me to make arbitrary choices."
Upon hearing this, Hong Tao's anxiety increased again.
It was precisely because I couldn't figure out the context of my father-in-law that I came to ask for help. If I listened to him, what was the difference between accepting his fate?
At this moment, Haitao suddenly felt a flash of inspiration in his mind and remembered what Qi Qingyun had said before.
Why don't you beg your mother-in-law?
Let her do some ideological work for Lao Taishan. Maybe it will be done?
Thinking of this, Haitao suddenly knelt down and said piously: "I am completely enamored, and I hope Madam will fulfill my wish!"
Liu Quan quickly held up his hand, frowned and said, "Get up quickly. If you have anything to say, you might as well sit down and say it slowly."
"Thank you ma'am!"
"Well, sit down!"
This sudden gift just now made Liu Quan's heart tremble, and just now he was serving tea to see off the guests.
It was also forgotten in an instant.
As the saying goes, a man has gold at his knees. If a man can kneel down and beg for her in vain, he must really like his daughter.
In a moment, an inexplicable good feeling arose spontaneously.
Hong Tao naturally didn't know that his kneeling just now ushered in a new opportunity for his future happiness.
He believed that there was nothing wrong with kneeling down to Liu Quan. She was his mother-in-law, and it was only natural that she should kneel down. Even if she is not the mother-in-law, she is still the legitimate wife of her adoptive father and brother. Since she is an elder of the previous generation, what's the harm in kneeling down and worshiping her?
Liu Quan looked at him and pondered for a while, then suddenly asked: "I once heard Fan Yao say that there was a general named Haitao who conquered the West and destroyed the Three Kingdoms in one fell swoop. Could it be that that person is you?"
Liu Quan paid little attention to military and politics. However, if you listen to it more often in your daily life, you will naturally remember it.
What's more, this man has outstanding military achievements, and it is impossible not to pay attention to him.
When Hong Tao heard this, he quickly said humbly: "As for Madam, that person is Xiaoke."
After confirming his identity, Liu Quan couldn't help but glance at him again.
Haha, such a young hero is really lovable. If he marries a daughter, it would not be an insult to her talents.
However, her reason told her that the holy will of the temple must not be violated. Even if she found a good husband-in-law in private, she would not be able to replace him.
"Well, I believe you have also heard that Your Majesty has..."
"The boy knows this!"
"Now that you know it, why bother adding to it?"
"Madam, Xiao Ke destroyed the three kingdoms in one fell swoop this time and established an immortal military exploit for us to open up new territories. If Mr. Qi uses this as an excuse and tries his best to report, he may be able to get his Majesty to take back his life. Here, I I would like to ask Madam to speak kindly to me so that this matter can be accomplished!"
Hong Tao finally summoned up the courage to reveal the purpose of his visit.
Simply put, it means asking sincerely.
Liu Quan sighed quietly and replied: "Although General has made great achievements in battle, my Qi family does not want to offend the emperor because of this matter. I apologize for not being able to help you..."
What she is worried about is actually her son and Yin Tao, who were kept in Beijing. If the Qi family resists the decree, they may suffer unfair treatment.
Liu Quan still saw the seriousness of the matter clearly.
Although he did want to help, he didn't
Able to buck the trend.
Seeing that his wife's position seemed to be wavering, Hong Tao hurriedly added fuel to the fire and said, "Please help me just this time for the sake of the good relationship between the Qi and Qi families!"
What?
Is it good to have two families together?
What does it mean?
Seeing the confusion on Liu Quan's face, Hong Tao hurriedly explained: "Now that things have happened, my nephew has no choice but to tell the truth..."
Next, he explained his life experience and the circumstances of coming to Qiong. In his words, he emphasized that he came here because of his admiration for Qi Xiaotong.
As for why he hid his identity, he also gave a relevant explanation.
He said that once his identity is exposed, there is no guarantee that he will be recalled to Mobei by his adoptive father. In that case, his plan to seek Phoenix will be completely bankrupt.
The reason why he joined the army was because he wanted to gain more military exploits in order to add luster to his future marriage proposal.
But who would have thought that Liang Kesheng would come out halfway!
It’s really both annoying and hateful!
Liu Quan's face changed slightly after hearing the explanation, and he sighed and said to himself: "I really didn't expect that you are Qi Jing's adopted son? What's more, I didn't expect that you and Xiaotong are actually close friends."
After saying that, she gently bit her silver teeth with a look of determination.
This favor must be helped!
There are two reasons.
First of all, if a daughter can find a childhood sweetheart and a compatible man as her son-in-law, it will definitely be a rare and beautiful story in the world. With such a wonderful fate, how can she be willing to beat the mandarin duck?
Secondly, Qi Jing has extraordinary life-saving grace for the Qi family. If it hadn't been for his rescue, both himself and his son might have died. Now, when his adopted son came over to propose marriage, how could the Qi family not take it seriously?
Therefore, when it comes to helping within your ability, you must help.
Although Liu Quan likes to hold grudges, she is also a reasonable person who knows how to repay kindness. When it comes to human relations, she has always maintained that grudges should be kept clear and should never be confused.
Seeing that she seemed to be nodding, Hong Tao hurriedly bowed again: "Thank you, madam, for helping me! Oh no, thank you, mother-in-law, for helping me!"
What? Mother-in-law?
Oops!
This title is really nice!
Liu Quan was shocked at first, and then laughed happily.
