After Wang Yue climbed over the wall of Liu's house and escaped to his own courtyard, he stopped practicing martial arts upstairs and just drank tea slowly downstairs.
Wang San saw Wang Yue's abnormal behavior and didn't understand what his young master was doing. Anyway, he felt that his young master seemed to be different since he came to Yangzhou City.
However, he felt that one thing about his young master would make him better, such as this tea tasting.
The young master used to drink tea like a second-generation master, of course the young master is what he is, but now he drinks tea a bit like a master.
Just as he was chanting, there was sudden movement outside the door. Butler Ye's voice asked in a low voice, "Is Mr. Wang resting?"
Wang San'er was having nothing to do. When he heard the movement, he hurriedly walked outside the courtyard. Without waiting for the doorman to reply, he asked curiously, "What do you want from my company?"
Butler Ye saw that it was Wang San and knew that he was Wang Yue's personal entourage, so he quickly said respectfully, " Third Master, Miss Liu's maid next door, Yin Hong, said she has something to do with your young master, and I wonder if she should be allowed in?"
Butler Ye said this to Wang San because he had seen Wang San hand something to Yin Hong. , he felt that maybe Wang San had taken a liking to the little girl, and there was some ambiguity in his words unconsciously.
How could Wang San not understand Butler Ye's expression? He thought with dissatisfaction that Yinghong was indeed very cute, but she was just a little girl. How could he like her?
He was very clever, but he could tell that Wang Yue was probably attracted to the girl from the Liu family, and Yin Hong was the little girl next to the girl from the Liu family, so that was beyond his imagination.
So, he quickly calmed down and said seriously, "Steward Ye, please let Yin Hong come over. My young master is enjoying tea at the moment." Steward Ye felt that he had guessed it right and was busy
. He withdrew and brought Yin Hong, who was waiting for Zhongmen'er, to the entrance of the courtyard. Only then did he reluctantly leave.
He knew that Wang Yue was a distinguished guest in the family. He heard that he was the son of the governor of Qingzhou. Although the Ye family belonged to Qingliu, they did not dare to offend Wang Yue easily.
As the chief steward of the Ye family, of course the things he wanted to do to please the family came from him, and he couldn't let the masters ruin their reputation.
After Wang San waited for Yin Hong to come over, he walked in with his people, without giving him any chance to get close, which made him very depressed.
However, he did not feel depressed for a long time. He felt that he had got useful news and needed to report it to his master quickly.
What he didn't expect was that the Liu family next door, who doted on his concubines and killed his wives, would have great luck one day.
...
Wang Yue didn't know Butler Ye's plan. He looked at Yin Hong who came over very calmly and said with great certainty, "Let me guess why you came here? Is it your young lady who is looking for me, or your eldest lady?" ?"
Yin Hong saw what Wang Yue said and said with a proud look on his face, "Master Wang, you guessed wrong now. It was my master who invited you over."
Wang Yue raised his eyebrows. He felt that his plan had been successful. Most of it.
He asked just now, originally as a test. If it was Liu Yuru who asked Yin Hong to come, then it would probably take some twists and turns for the beauty he wanted to embrace to return. If the eldest lady asked Yin Hong to come over, he would still need to take action to deal with Mr. Liu.
Since he said neither of the two possibilities, Master Liu still invited him over, which means that the matter is basically settled.
But what he didn't understand was how Liu Yuru persuaded Madam Liu and Master Liu.
Seeing that Wang Yue didn't speak, Wang San took the initiative to drag him to Yin Hong and asked in a low voice, "What is your master doing with my young master? Do you know any news?" Yin Hong rolled his eyes at Wang San, and then he was proud
. He said, "You will know when Mr. Wang goes. I can only say that it is a good thing."
Wang San originally wanted to say a few more words, but Wang Yue interrupted the conversation between the two and directly ordered Wang San, "Wang San, put the Take out my personal jade pendant and come with me to Liu's house."
Wang San's eyes lit up and he quickly ran to the study to find the jade pendant Wang Yue mentioned.
…
When the group of people arrived at the gate of the Liu family, Mr. Liu was waiting at the door. When he saw Wang Yue approaching, he said excitedly, "Master Wang, please come inside quickly. I have prepared a family banquet. I'm just waiting for you to come here."
Wang Yue was not polite. He followed Master Liu's lead and walked in while smiling and said, "I feel a little ashamed to have my uncle greet me."
Grandpa Liu hurriedly said politely. As he walked inside, he asked tentatively, "Why did Mr. Wang come to Yangzhou instead of staying in Qingzhou to enjoy the blessings?" Of
course Wang Yue couldn't tell the truth, so he said politely, "My family and Ye We have an old family, and I heard that Mrs. Ye was celebrating her birthday, so she asked me to come to celebrate her birthday."
The two of them chatted and walked, and soon came to the main hall. At the door of the main hall, Mrs. Liu, Liu Yuru, and a few others A woman Wang Yue had never seen before stood there, quietly waiting for the two of them to pass by.
When Wang Yue saw this scene, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He secretly thought, maybe he had guessed wrong. Could it be that he was not asked to arrange the marriage with Liu Yuru?
Mr. Liu didn't see Wang Yue's expression. He politely led Wang Yue into the room. After he sat down separately, the other female family members also took their seats.
Since Wang Yue couldn't understand, he lost his previous warmth and simply asked directly, "I wonder why uncle called me here?" Master Liu
noticed that Wang Yue's attitude changed drastically, and he was confused for a moment. He was confused, but thinking of today's business, he quickly looked at Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu was also very angry. Today she was discussing her daughter's marriage. How could she imagine that Aunt Zhang, that fox girl, insisted on bringing her two daughters over? What does this mean? Want to steal his son-in-law?
It was just a matter of her daughter's future. She wanted to settle the matter quickly while she was still in good health, and send her daughter away far away, so as not to stay here and be wronged.
So, she looked at Wang Yue with a warm face, and asked expectantly, "Mr. Wang, before we talk about business, I still want to confirm? Have you made a marriage decision in Qingzhou?"
Wang Yue saw what the eldest lady meant, and quickly said respectfully, "Mrs. Liu, I have told my family a long time ago that I make the decision on my marriage, and my parents have agreed." Seeing what Wang Yue said, the eldest
brother The lady then said seriously, "Mr. Wang, the picture you gave to Ru'er, are you planning to take Ru'er to my house as your wife?"
Wang Yue nodded and said seriously, "Of course, if uncle My aunt agreed, we can make a decision right away. Although my family is in Qingzhou, I still have several elders in Yangzhou, and we can invite them to be matchmakers." Seeing what Wang Yue said, the eldest
lady nodded happily, and then looked He said to Grandpa Liu, "Grandpa, do you think this matter is settled like this?"
Grandpa Liu saw that Wang Yue had almost discussed it with the eldest lady, and he immediately became happy and said excitedly, "Since In this way, after your elders come, we will settle the matter between you and Yuru."
Wang Yue smiled and said with determination, "It doesn't have to be so troublesome. I have a family heirloom jade pendant that I brought with me, which can be used as a Token, let's settle this matter first. After I go back, I will write to Qingzhou and ask my parents to appoint someone to propose marriage. What do my uncle and aunt think?" After hearing Wang Yue's words, Mrs. Liu
hurriedly Nodding, she felt that Wang Yue had arranged the matter safely, and she looked at Wang Yue with even more satisfaction.
After being reminded by Wang Yue, Mr. Liu thought that although Wang Yue could make the decision on his own, he still had to tell his family. He felt a little confused. After all, he was really not sure whether Wang Yue's parents would agree. ?
He was a little tangled in his heart, but he didn't show it. Just when he saw the servants setting up the food and drinks, he hurriedly greeted everyone to the table.
But as soon as Wang Yue sat down, Aunt Zhang, who had been quiet and silent, pushed her two daughters to sit next to Wang Yue, making both the eldest lady and Liu Yuru very angry.
Wang Yue raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect the Liu family's concubine to be so blatant. He stood up without hesitation, and then said to Mr. Liu, "Uncle, since it is not convenient for the Liu family to have a banquet today, we might as well wait." My father has arranged a matchmaker, and it won’t be too late for us to hold a banquet.”
After Wang Yue finished speaking, he took out the jade pendant he had prepared, walked to Liu Yuru, and put the jade pendant into Liu Yuru's hand.
Then, Wang Yue didn't wait for anyone else to say anything, just like Mr. Liu, he bowed his hands and left, leaving only the Liu family in a state of panic.
...
After Wang Yue left the Liu family, he did not stay and went directly back to the courtyard of the eldest son of the Ye family. He had already sent a message to Qingzhou, and now he was just waiting for news from Qingzhou.
But not long after he returned, he heard small stones falling into the courtyard. The small stones would be thrown over every once in a while, and it turned out that the direction was the Liu Family Garden.
When Wang San saw the direction of the small stone, he ran to check it out. As soon as he climbed up the wall, he was hit on the head by an oncoming small stone.
He couldn't help it, he let out an ouch, and then fell heavily from the courtyard wall.
Wang Yue was a little dumbfounded. He could guess that it was another stone thrown from the other side of the courtyard wall, which happened to hit Wang San, so he quickly changed his position and wanted to climb onto the courtyard wall neatly.
But just as Wang Yue climbed up the wall, another small stone came towards him. It was very fast and it was in front of him immediately.
He also saw who was throwing the stone this time. It was not Yin Hong as he thought, but Liu Yuru.
He didn't want to suffer such a blow in vain, so he quickly used time retrieval and climbed over the wall again.
This time Wang Yue changed his position. After climbing up the wall, the stone happened to pass by and he happened to catch Liu Yuru before I had time to stop.
Liu Yuru didn't expect that Wang Yue would also turn over. She was just a little angry. After all, Wang Yue left by himself at that time, leaving their family to quarrel again.
As a junior, she had a quarrel because of his marriage. She couldn't stay there longer, so she could only go to the back garden to get some fresh air.
She actually had some doubts in her heart. She didn't know how her mother, who had been cowardly for so long, was confident today. She thought it might have something to do with Wang Yue.
She took Yin Hong unconsciously to the backyard. She happened to see Yin Hong throwing stones, so she couldn't help but throw one, and it immediately landed in the yard where Wang Yue lived.
Not to mention, after so many years of obeying the rules, she suddenly found that doing bad things felt pretty good.
So, she couldn't help but started throwing stones with Yin Hong.
What he didn't expect was that Wang Yue would be thrown out by throwing stones, and Wang Yue would catch him in action.
She quickly put her dirty little hands behind her back and said with evasive eyes, "You, why are you on the wall again?" Wang Yue saw the
way Liu Yuru complained first, and said a little funny, "Someone came to our hospital. Erli threw a stone and hit Wang San. Of course I want to see which thief did it?"
Liu Yuru looked at Wang Yue's half-smiling expression and said in a panic, "It's not me, yes, yes, yes. , Yin Hong did it."
Yin Hong stared at her big cute eyes. Just as she was about to explain, she saw the young lady's embarrassed look and quickly closed her mouth.
But she stopped talking, and Wang San didn't dare to do it anymore. He looked at Wang Yue sitting on the wall and said quickly, "Sir, I just saw it. It wasn't Yin Hong who smashed it."
Wang Yue was fine to begin with. Wanting to wait for Liu Yuru and see her true reaction, she pretended to have a serious expression and said, "Are you serious? You know, Miss Liu will be the young lady of our family in the future. If you have wronged her, you will not Good fruit to eat."
Wang Ke saw Wang Yue wink secretly from him, and he quickly said in cooperation, "Miss Liu is here? I only saw that it wasn't Yin Hong. I'm not sure who hit her?" Wang Yue
said He nodded, and then looked at Liu Yuru pretending to be confused, "Miss Liu, have you two masters and servants seen anyone else in the courtyard? We must catch this murderer and not let her do bad things. He ran away."
Liu Yuru faced Wang Yue's joking expression. She didn't know that Wang Yue had already seen that she did it, so she said with some shame and anger, "So what if I smashed it? You ruined my house. It’s such a mess, just pat your butt and leave.”
Seeing Liu Yuru's angry look, Wang Yue pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Miss Liu, you are so bullying! Your aunt arranged for your sister to seduce me, how could I still sit there and not leave?" "
Liu Yuru realized what was going on after Wang Yue reminded her like this?
She was no longer shy at that time and didn't even notice that Aunt Zhang pushed her two younger sisters to sit next to Wang Yue. Now that she heard Wang Yue say this, she immediately understood that Wang Yue had good intentions.
After Wang Yue made such a fuss, when Wang Yue's family arranged for someone to propose marriage, Father Liu would never bring Aunt Zhang and his two younger sisters out again.
After all, being able to marry the governor and become a eldest lady would be a great thing, and she didn't think her father was willing to miss it.
