Upon hearing this, Liu Zhang immediately became anxious. Nanny Jiang's words undoubtedly meant to trap A Rao with Shen Xu forever.
When Chen Xu gets married and has children in the future, A Rao will be there to serve him.
Become his concubine or a slave with no status.
Her prince had never touched her, yet he wanted to keep her by his side forever!
Without freedom, you can't get married.
It would be fine if Chen Xu married a virtuous wife, but if he married a jealous woman, then A Rao's life would definitely be difficult in the future.
Liu Zhang suddenly stood up, knelt down and said sincerely: "I really love your daughter Jiang Rao, and I beg you to help me."
When Nanny Jiang saw Liu Zhang suddenly kneel down, she was horrified and hurried forward to support him, "Master Liu, what are you doing? This is really embarrassing for me!"
Liu Zhang knelt stubbornly on the ground and said loudly: "I sincerely want to marry you, please grant my wish, mother-in-law."
Liu Zhang's loud voice attracted many servants from the Marquis' Mansion. Seeing that there were quite a lot of people watching, Minister Liu couldn't help but lose face and hurriedly whispered, "Zhang'er, what are you doing? Get up!"
"My Lord, your sincerity is truly touching. However, A Rao is already engaged, and it is difficult to promise her another marriage. Please find another good match."
Minister Liu saw that the marriage was not going well, so he quickly pulled Liu Zhang up from the ground and said, "Madam, after all, is from the Marquis' Mansion. She should have discussed everything with the Master. This matter is something I haven't considered carefully enough. We should wait until Lord Shen returns to discuss it. I hope Madam will consider this matter with President Fu of the Southern Territory."
Seeing that Minister Liu had found a way to get out of this situation, Nanny Jiang no longer dared to refuse. She only politely said that she would definitely discuss the matter with the host family and give it serious consideration.
Only then did Minister Liu and his son leave the Marquis' Mansion.
On the carriage back to the mansion, Minister Liu and Liu Zhang sat face to face. Seeing Liu Zhang sitting there motionless, pursing his lips and saying nothing, Minister Liu complained, "Zhang'er, that was too much drama just now. Our Liu family has to maintain its dignity, and we shouldn't kneel down to a slave just to show our sincerity."
Liu Zhang did not answer, but sat on the carriage cushion with a serious expression, as if thinking about something.
Minister Liu was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking over and over what Nanny Jiang had said, and then he said, "I knew it wasn't that simple."
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he complained softly, "Even a servant in their mansion is so arrogant, and that girl's mother acts like she owes her money. Zhang'er, are you sure you've married her? What can you get out of her?"
Liu Zhang came back to his senses, nodded calmly, and replied softly: "It will happen."
"But then again, Zhang'er, your vision is truly sharp. Even though the mother and daughter are servants in the Marquis's mansion, they actually always go through the Southern Territory instead of Marquis Chen for any decision. The nanny even bluntly stated that she was indebted to the Fu family in the Southern Territory, not the Tingnan Marquis's mansion. It seems these two must know a lot of information about the Southern Territory."
Minister Liu pondered for a moment and then instructed, "After you marry her, you must put in more effort to pry open her mouth. If soft tactics don't work, use hard tactics."
Liu Zhang nodded indifferently and replied, "Of course."
After saying this, he seemed to be immersed in his own thoughts and stopped talking.
Minister Liu sighed softly upon seeing him like this. His son was already quite grown up. Originally, as a wealthy and powerful family, he was not considered desirable by any other daughter. Now that Liu Zhang was old and still unmarried, he felt he had to settle for second best.
This is too bad of a request!
Finally, Minister Liu could not stand Liu Zhang's insistence, and thought that if he could accomplish his goal, he could marry another daughter from a better family in the future.
But to achieve great things, there is only one way, which is to overthrow the Shen family in the southern border and the Ling family of the crown prince. Only by supporting Yaoer to sit firmly on the throne, can the Liu family become the largest aristocratic family in Yanyang Kingdom and dominate the world from then on.
There is still a long way to go, and the road is difficult and circuitous.
......
Recently, the emperor and cabinet ministers from various departments have been very busy. On the one hand, they have to prepare for the seven-day summer ceremony to worship the sky in Yanyang Kingdom. This is the most grand festival in Yanyang Kingdom. Not only do they offer sacrifices to the sky, the earth, the mountains and rivers, the sun and the moon, but they also offer sacrifices to ancestors and worship ancestral temples. The emperor has to understand the people's sentiments and listen to their opinions in person.
Therefore, the summer memorial service was always held with great grandness and solemnity every year. A large number of military officers stationed in the county would flock to the entire imperial city, most of whom brought with them the collected public opinions. Some wanted to promote reforms, some asked for funds for disaster relief, some requested troops to suppress bandits, and some came simply to the imperial city to participate in the ceremony and have fun.
Secondly, Tingnan Hou returned to the capital victoriously after conquering the Southern Barbarians. Upon hearing the news, the people spontaneously went to the city gate to line the streets to welcome him. Almost all the patrol teams in the inner city were dispatched to the scene to maintain order, for fear that someone would cause chaos.
The inner city was bustling with people coming and going.
Ye Wanqing's special period passed quickly. After lying in bed for a few days, she almost melted away.
At this time, I was busy wanting to go out for a stroll. How could I not go out during such a lively festival?
Just when he was about to ask Murong Yan to go out together, a guest came to the Marquis's Mansion - the Minister of Works.
She finally met the third god of the secret base, the legendary genius Jiang Yu.
The Minister of Works, Jiang Yu, was standing at the door. He was over eight feet tall, strong, with a body full of tendons. He looked very tough, and his navy blue gown was bulging.
The moment Ye Wanqing saw him, she felt he was a master of martial arts. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, his aura, which had pierced the ceiling, instantly collapsed...
The voice was clear and tender, like a child's.
"Ao-nii, I miss you so much~"
As he said this, he ran towards the door with his arms outstretched.
Ye Wanqing was stunned for a moment, as if she saw a mighty snow leopard suddenly pounce on her, and then roared...
Meow~
Ah, this figure matches this voice...
It was not until he came closer that Ye Wanqing could see his face clearly. He had delicate features, thick eyebrows and bright eyes. His face looked childish, but he had a melancholy and confused look in his eyes.
In short, the eyes don't match the face, the face doesn't match the figure, the figure doesn't match the voice, nothing about it matches.
The main feature is the cute contrast.
Seeing the powerful muscles coming at her, she staggered back two steps, and then her face was trapped between Jiang Yu's biceps.
"Brother Axu, did you miss me?" Jiang Yu picked her up and spun her around excitedly, like a clingy cat.
"Yes, yes!" Ye Wanqing was obviously frightened by his enthusiasm. She smiled awkwardly and said politely, "Brother Jiang, when did you return to Beijing?"
"Well, it's been a few days. I've been researching new things at home these days, so I didn't come to visit my brother in time." Jiang Yu gently let her go and ordered someone to lift the box. Inside was a box full of strange inventions, all things Ye Wanqing had never seen before.
"There's something I can't seem to make, and I've been wanting to ask you for advice for a while now." Jiang Yu pulled out a thick stack of blueprints from the bottom of a box and said, "You're the most knowledgeable about spring power units. Could you help me modify this thing?"
Ye Wanqing looked at the densely drawn lines on the paper with a confused look on her face. It was bad. She didn't understand anything.
