Chapter 199, Matchmaking
Shangshu Liu turned around and slapped him in the face, and Liu Shi covered his face with grievance.
"Why didn't I know about this?"
Such a big thing, why didn't you inform him?
He is the head of the family!
At this time.
Madam Liu and Xia Zhao hurried out of the side hall, without even looking at Shangshu Liu.
They went straight to greet Concubine Ling.
"Oh, since I received the letter three days ago, I have been looking forward to your coming. I didn't expect that you really came to be a matchmaker for Wan'er! That's great, that's great!"
"Well, this is my Wan'er's engagement card. I also took the engagement card of the Ninth Prince that you sent to someone to calculate. These two children are very compatible! God-given good fate!"
Madam Liu said, and handed the two engagement cards in her hand to Concubine Ling.
Xia Zhao also laughed and said, "I didn't expect that my sister and the Ninth Prince hid it so deeply. Now they have finally gotten their reward."
Ever since Liu Ye asked her about Hanmei, she guessed that the two had been in love with each other for a long time.
Now that it has finally come to fruition, she is happy for Liu Wan from the bottom of her heart.
Minister Liu froze in place.
His wife knew, his daughter-in-law knew, his eldest son knew, but he! Didn't know!
He felt that he was isolated by his family.
He sighed, picked up the broom beside him, and walked out slowly with a hunched back,
"I'll go prepare tea for you..."
After saying that, he sighed again.
His back was lonely, hunched, like an old widower!
"Dad, wait for me, I'll help you!"
Liu Shi also looked sad. After he caught up with Minister Liu, his back suddenly looked much older.
"What's wrong with Dad?" Liu Wan asked.
"Don't worry about him! He was overwhelmed by the affairs of the Xie Mansion and couldn't listen to anything I said. I wanted to talk to him today, but he heard that the Xie Mansion was confiscated and bought all the firecrackers in the city to celebrate!"
"If I hadn't asked someone to stop him, that room full of firecrackers would have blown up the Xie Mansion!"
"He has been observing etiquette in the Ministry of Rites for a long time, and now he goes crazy like a madman!"
Mrs. Liu's eyes were full of helplessness.
I thought Minister Liu was wearing red clothes today to celebrate his daughter's upcoming wedding.
Unexpectedly, he went to celebrate the confiscating of the Xie Mansion!
With such a high official position, he is not afraid of being embarrassed to do such a thing!
"My father, he shouldn't do such a thing!"
Liu Wan was a little surprised.
Last time, wasn't it his younger brother who did it?
"Of course he wouldn't! But he dared to ask Liu Shi to go! One dared to ask, and the other dared to go! Both father and son are crazy!"
Mrs. Liu was dizzy because of what happened last time.
When the sisters in the capital saw her, they all teased her about this matter. She felt that she couldn't even raise her head!
She sighed leisurely, "It would be great if Liu Shi could be married off together!"
Hearing this, Xia Siheng silently took a step back.
Thinking: This king will not marry anyone! Don't think of throwing it to him!
"Hey, Ninth Uncle, why don't you say anything, I have never seen you so reserved." Xia Zhao pursed his lips and joked.
"Okay, okay, stop teasing your uncle. He has never been married, so how can he understand? Let's talk as elders and set a date."
Concubine Ling smiled and looked at Liu Wan with satisfaction. She
went to pull Madam Liu's hand.
Madam Liu quickly asked everyone to sit down and discuss the details of the marriage.
Liu Wan sat down aside with a calm face, but she was worried in her heart whether her father would be sad.
But she couldn't leave.
She lowered her head and whispered to Xia Wanwan, "Baby, your grandpa seems sad."
Xia Wanwan was still immersed in the joy of having a new father as a chef.
Hearing her mother say this, she raised her little face, "Grandpa... can... blow people up."
[Grandpa is a good official who is very strict and respectful in the original book, but he is very critical behind the scenes.]
[His weapon is firecrackers. In the original book, after Xie Huaishan killed his aunt, grandpa used firecrackers to blow up his face!]
Xia Wanwan pointed her two little index fingers together and looked at her mother eagerly.
Her grandpa has the same character as her!
She wants to play with grandpa.
"Mom... I will go to comfort grandpa for you..."
She was thinking about grandpa's room full of firecrackers!
Liu Wan looked at the people in the field. Her mother and Concubine Ling were talking about marriage.
The eldest prince looked at Xia Siheng eagerly, full of pride.
Xia Zhao and his brother were making plans for their mother and Concubine Ling.
Then she felt relieved to let Wanwan go.
"Panchun, take Wanwan to find my father!"
She gave the child to Panchun.
After Panchun took the little dumpling out.
Xia Siheng said to Concubine Ling, "Mother, just tell me when you have made a decision. I'll go out and take a look."
Without waiting for Concubine Ling's reply, he ran away.
Concubine Ling shook her head helplessly.
"My Lady Concubine, I'll go look after the Ninth Prince!" Xia Qianhui also bowed and said.
He was going to take credit.
Concubine Ling waved her hand, turned around and continued chatting with Madam Liu.
Panchun had just carried Wanwan to the backyard when she was intercepted by Xia Siheng halfway.
Xia Siheng proudly carried the little guy and went to find Minister Liu.
He thought that he must ask his daughter whether she accepted him or not.
But just when I came to the yard, I saw Minister Liu squatting on the ground and said to the dog guarding the door,
"Do you know that the Xie Mansion was ransacked!"
Xia Siheng coughed a few times, and then Minister Liu looked up at him with sparkling eyes, "Ninth Prince, do you know that the Xie Mansion was ransacked!"
"I know! Wanwan was afraid that you were in a bad mood, so she asked me to bring her to you." Xia Siheng said.
The little guy in his arms also waved his hands, "Duck... Duck... Grandpa, blow..."
Before she finished speaking, Xia Siheng covered her mouth in time.
Only a pair of big round eyes were left, looking at Minister Liu.
[What did I do, why do Uncle Xia and mother like to cover my mouth? 】
【Where are grandpa's firecrackers? I want to play with them! Wuwuwu, I haven't played with them for a long time! 】
【Wuwuwu, when are we going to blow up some bad people! 】
Xia Wanwan complained in her heart. ＷＷw.lΙnＧㄚùＴχτ.nétBut
Minister Liu looked at her with sparkling eyes, "Good girl, Wanwan, you are here to play with grandpa with firecrackers, right?"
【Wuwuwu, grandpa understands me so well! 】
Xia Wanwan nodded frantically.
"Then you sit here for a while, grandpa will get you some firecrackers!"
Minister Liu jumped up excitedly.
His granddaughter actually understands him so well!
That's great!
Xia Wanwan was moved to tears.
Her grandpa actually understands her so well!
That's great!
Xia Siheng:...
speechless.
It's good that Minister Liu is not here, he can just ask Wanwan if she accepts him as her father.
He put the little girl on the stone table in the pavilion and was about to speak.
But suddenly it occurred to him that if he told her the truth directly, wouldn't the little girl have to accept it even if she disagreed?
Haha.
He is so smart!
Changing the subject, Xia Siheng pinched Xia Wanwan's little round face and said softly,
"Wanwan, I am your father!"
