Chapter 253 Have you thought about it?
But Zhao Liya knew that her father did not have a very good temper.
I'm afraid he will be scolded.
Zhao Liya didn't know the specific process of whether Zhou Hansheng scolded her or not, but she didn't see Zhou Hansheng again that day.
Zhou Hansheng didn't come back for dinner either.
She couldn't help but look towards the courtyard door a few more times. Zhao Xiang sighed silently and couldn't help but say, "It would be more convenient for them to eat and live in the big courtyard over there. They won't come over."
Zhao Liya was stunned and suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Dad!"
So it seems that he really said something in front of her father, and her father didn't seem satisfied, so he simply kicked them out and didn't even let them enter the door.
Zhao Liya was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help feeling a little sorry for Zhou Hansheng, and a little distressed?
Zhao Liya didn't see the complicated emotions in Zhao Xiang's eyes. Zhao Xiang sighed, "I'll talk to you about it after dinner."
Zhao Liya: “Oh!”
I don’t really want to say it, but I know I can’t escape it.
As for the fact that Zhou Hansheng and others went to the courtyard of the school, no one was too surprised because Zhao Xiang had told them in advance. However, the house suddenly became quieter with fewer people around, and they hoped that it would be more lively with more people around.
Zhao Liya had no appetite and after dinner she hurried to her father's study to wait for his scolding.
Zhao Xiang didn't start scolding her, but sighed, "I knew this day would come, but I didn't expect it to come so soon!"
"father!"
"Ya'er, there are always unexpected events, and Dad has come to terms with it. Life is full of companionship, and Dad just wants you siblings to have more moments of happiness. As for other things, there's no need to worry too much. But Zhou Hansheng, I'm afraid his identity is not ordinary. Are you really prepared?"
"I"
"You have to think it over carefully. No matter who he is, can you accept him?"
Zhao Liya was a little confused and couldn't help asking, "Dad, what kind of husband do you think I should marry? Or, how about I never marry in my life?"
"What nonsense!" Zhao Xiang was at a loss for words: "Are you angry with Dad?"
Zhao Liya knew this was a bit unrealistic. If she did, life would be difficult. She didn't care about what others thought of her. As long as she lived in this world, it was impossible for her to not care about what others thought of her. She could only hide in the mountains and forests and never see anyone again. Or she could simply run away as a widow to a place where no one knew her and start over.
But even so, being single for a long time, one still cannot avoid all kinds of gossip.
She definitely didn't like that kind of day.
Zhao Liya smiled and said, "Of course I'm not angry with Dad. I'm just thinking that it's so difficult to find someone who suits my taste. There's always something wrong with this or that."
Zhao Xiang understood and continued, "There's no such thing as a perfect person in this world. Dad isn't unreasonable. It all depends on how each person chooses! So, Ya'er, what's your choice? The situation in Zhou Hansheng's family may be more complicated than you think."
"You don't have to rush to speak, think slowly, and go back to rest."
Zhao Liya didn't leave. She looked up at Zhao Xiang and said, "Dad, don't think about it. I've been thinking about it for a long time. Let's give it a try."
She had already been tempted, and since he was interested, she might as well give it a try. She was indeed a little curious about what kind of mess his house would be in, but she didn't think she couldn't handle it.
What are you afraid of?
Even if she and he were to separate one day, it would never be because she couldn't handle his family or because she would be separated by his family.
It can only be because he has let her down and she doesn't want him anymore.
Now that I have said it, I am afraid it will not work if I don't say something decisive.
She never likes to drag things out.
Zhao Xiang: “.”
Zhao Xiang glanced at her with complicated eyes, then sighed and nodded: "Forget it, since you have made up your mind, Dad naturally has nothing to say. Dad believes in you. My dear, since this is the case, Dad can only hope that you two will live happily and forever!"
Zhao Liya blushed, and said shyly, "Dad, it's still early."
How could we have come to this? We were just getting along first.
Zhao Xiang laughed heartily.
Zhao Liya also smiled and took the opportunity to plead, "Dad, since, since this has been agreed upon, then, then can we let them stay here tomorrow? Well, Xiang'er, Lin'er, and Nian'er all like to play with them, and it will be more lively with more people!"
Zhao Xiang felt a little sour in his heart and glanced at Zhao Liya, "It's up to you."
"Thank you, Dad!"
Zhao Xiang laughed and shook his head. This child! Ever since her exile, her nerves have been on edge, never truly relaxing for a moment. Now here, she's been trying every possible way to protect her family and, on the contrary, busy herself with ways to make money for their future. Today, it's rare to see her smile with such genuine joy and ease.
Maybe it would be better to have someone accompany me.
After all, there are some things that parents cannot replace.
This child is very sensible. He always reports good news but never bad news to his parents.
"By the way," Zhao Xiang said calmly, "I also proposed a condition to him."
"What conditions?"
"If he wants to marry you, he must seek an imperial decree granting the marriage."
Zhao Liya: "What did he say?"
"He agreed!"
“.”
Well, she knew. He was indeed someone powerful.
Although his father was once a high-ranking official who was qualified to attend court and could meet the emperor at any time, it was too far away from him after all and was not something he had experienced.
But now it is very close to me.
An imperial decree granting marriage? Zhao Liya thought about it and understood immediately that her father was thinking of her. With an imperial decree granting marriage, it was a match made in heaven, a perfect couple. Even if her family had been exiled, no one would dare to use this to despise or humiliate her.
Otherwise it would be disrespectful to the emperor.
Being disrespectful to the emperor will never end well.
No one dares to bet on this.
But this imperial edict would not be easy to obtain, but Zhou Hansheng agreed to it without hesitation.
Zhao Liya felt a little itchy and couldn't help but look at her father. She even wanted to ask her father if he already knew Zhou Hansheng's identity?
I resisted the urge to ask.
If Dad knew, he would definitely tell her. If Dad knew but didn't say it, then he couldn't say it. If Dad didn't know, then he couldn't say it.
So, don't ask.
The next day, Zhou Hansheng arrived without further notice. He spoke with Zhao Xiang and Deng, but soon the engagement and the exchange of engagement letters were finalized.
Everyone was surprised, but also felt it was reasonable, and they all smiled and congratulated him.
Zhao Liya was a little caught off guard, and she managed to maintain her composure and smile just the right amount.
It turns out Zhou Hansheng came prepared! He even brought his engagement letter!
