Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 241
After hearing the last case of the day, Li Yuanqing walked out of the lobby.

Li Qin followed up and said, "The master went to the Lin family before."

He nodded. It can be seen over the years that his father felt guilty towards the Lin family, so even though his mother had passed away, he still respected his grandmother with all the courtesy he should have. As a second-rank official, He is a master in the capital, but he can't bear Lin Song's cynicism.

It can be seen from this that Li Yu is a long-term lover and a conscientious person.

"The little one has already tidied up the yard, and the master is resting inside." If other officials come here to inspect, the official residence of the county government will also be used for reception.

Li Yuanqing strode towards the courtyard without changing his official uniform, and went directly to the wing where Li Yu was.

"I have met Mr. Li in my humble position." He stepped forward and followed the official etiquette.

Li Yu looked at him with handsome eyebrows. When he was in the capital, everyone he met praised him. Compared with the other two sons, he was the most like himself.

"Sit down." He waved his sleeves, glanced at the attendants with him, and the attendants retreated out immediately.

Li Yuanqing sat down, and then called his father again.

"You have managed Feixian County well, and you have done a great job in catching the bandits. The magistrate handed over the letter to you. It will not be difficult for you to be transferred to the capital in the future."

It was just to mention this matter. He has been in Feixian County for less than a year, and his father is trying to find a way to promote him?Li Yuanqing smiled, "My son's experience is still inexperienced. With his current ability, it will take a lot of effort to really manage this place well. He is so ambitious. I'm afraid it will cause mistakes in the future."

Li Yu raised his eyebrows, "A mere county magistrate, are you so reluctant? Or are you reluctant to part with other things here?"

It seems that Li Yu already knew about it, and Li Yuanqing wanted to explain it directly, so he stood up, bowed and said, "My son does have a wish, and I hope my father will make it come true."

Li Yu snorted, "Do you really want to marry the Du family's daughter?"

"Yes."

"You have to think clearly!" Li Yu sternly said, "You are my son, Li Yu, but you want to marry a girl from a peasant family? What a shame! If you tell us about it in the future, our Li family will lose all face! Let’s talk about yourself, you are from the Imperial Academy, you have a bright future, which lady in the capital is not worthy of you? Even Princess Huiping, as long as you are willing, it is not impossible!”

After Li Yuanqing listened calmly, his tone did not change, "My son has already thought very clearly, she is the only one who will not marry in this life!"

Li Yu slapped the table hard, "You unreasonable thing!"

"Father," he looked at Li Yu, lifted his brocade robe and knelt down, "The son has never begged the father, but this time, the son wants to beg the father, please let the father do it!"

Seeing that he really knelt down, Li Yu couldn't help but feel soft.

For this son, he has always felt guilty, one is because he lost his mother when he was born, and the other is that he has not been found for more than ten years. The father and son have been separated for so long. Although he is not the main reason, it also accounts for a lot. few factors.

He let out a long breath.

"I don't know if my father has any regrets in this life. The son only knows that if he can't marry her, he will feel regrets for the rest of his life."

Hearing this sentence, Li Yu's heart throbbed again, as if it was not Li Yuanqing who was kneeling in front of him, but Lin Wanyu.

In order to be his concubine back then, Wanyu didn't know how many times she knelt down to her parents!I don't know how much gossip I have endured!

But what did he do?He got her lightly and skillfully, and finally lost her so suddenly.

Li Yu stood up and sat down heavily.

"Forget it, forget it, it's up to you." He waved his hand.

Li Yuanqing raised his head slowly, a trace of guilt flashed across his face. In order to marry Du Xiaoyu, he had to use his dead mother's influence on Li Yu.

Fortunately, the father was indeed a soft-hearted person. He knelt down and said sincerely, "My son thanked the father."

Seeing him coming out of the house, Li Qin stepped forward and said, "My lord, what's the matter?" Li Qin disapproved of marrying Du Xiaoyu in his heart, regardless of whether Du Xiaoyu is good or not, as long as her family background is there Putting it on, which one can help the master?In terms of making money, is it possible to compare with the Lin family?
It just so happened that the master recognized her, even disregarding what the old lady thought!
"You find a proper matchmaker."

Li Qin knew that Li Yu agreed, so he couldn't help being a little unhappy, but the master's intention would not be violated, so he nodded and agreed, "Do you want to propose marriage now, sir?"

"You go find it before we talk about it." Li Yuanqing said, "Call Zhou Kun here."

Li Qin responded and left.

As soon as Li Yuanqing waited for Zhou Kun to come, he asked him to drive him to Beidong Village in a carriage.

Seeing Li Yuanqing, his eyes were full of joy, Du Xiaoyu knew that the matter was probably done, but she didn't expect Li Yu to be so persuasive, it was beyond her expectation, no wonder Li Yuanqing said it for sure at that time , it seems that he knows this father very well.

But Du Xian asked in surprise, "But what happened?" Counting the days, it's not a day to rest and take a bath, but logically speaking, it's already dark, if it's not for something, Li Yuanqing shouldn't rush over here.

Mrs. Zhao saw some clues, and said with a smile, "Look what's wrong with him, he probably misses us, so let's take a look, his father, why don't you cook more dishes."

Hearing that he missed them, Du Xian burst into a smile and hurried to the kitchen.

Mrs. Zhao guessed that Li Yuanqing had something to say to Du Xiaoyu, so she led a few children to the backyard, saying it was to add some grass for the rabbit, and asked them to help.

The room fell silent, and Li Yuanqing stepped forward to hold her hand, "My father agreed, and I will call someone to propose marriage in a few days."

"In such a hurry?" Du Xiaoyu was surprised, Du Xian didn't know this, so he came to propose marriage.

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Is this called urgency? I have already chosen a date, how about the sixth day of next month?"

Du Xiaoyu blinked, and reached out to touch his forehead, "Aren't you crazy about wanting to marry me? It's only two months away, how can this happen? I haven't paid my dowry yet."

She has always been tough on the matter of getting married, and Du Xian didn't dare to mention it. Naturally, he didn't prepare for the dowry in advance, for fear that it would be ordered in advance, and she would not be able to make a decision at that time, and the style might become outdated.But now, Li Yuanqing is going to marry her next month, which is too urgent.

"What dowry do you want? Just put on a show, and you can just come over." He hugged her, bowed his head and kissed her face twice, "I'll go tell my adoptive father and mother in a while."

Are you really going to marry him?Du Xiaoyu looked at him seriously, "Have you really thought about it? Don't regret it then."

"Regret?" Li Yuanqing raised his eyebrows, "Are you afraid that I will regret marrying you?"

"En." Du Xiaoyu nodded, "In the future, you can't have a concubine's room, you can't control me in everything, you can't expect me to be a lady, you can't..."

Before she could finish speaking, he kissed her lips, "I know you better than anyone else."

That was her promise, Du Xiaoyu finally let go of all his worries, and responded to his kiss.

It took her a long time to push him away panting, and straightened her hair, "Don't let them see it, I'll go to the kitchen..."

He grabbed her, "I'll go." After saying that, he kissed her again before letting go and walking out of the main room.

It took a while for Mrs. Zhao to come over again. Seeing that Du Xiaoyu's face was still slightly flushed, she already knew it, and while the children were out playing in the yard, she asked, "Is it his father's side..."

Du Xiaoyu nodded, "His father agreed, and he is talking to him."

That was a great thing, I didn't expect that Li Yu would really agree, Zhao joined hands and said a few words of God's blessing, finally it didn't make the two children sad.

"Your father is afraid that he will not be happy now."

After Du Xian heard Li Yuanqing's meaning clearly, he didn't realize it for a long time. When he realized it later, he overturned several plates in surprise and went crazy with joy.

"Your father really agreed?" He kept asking, "Do you really want to marry Xiaoyu from our family?"

"Yes, adoptive father." Li Yuanqing laughed, "No, I will be called father-in-law from now on."

"Okay, okay, okay." Du Xian said repeatedly, and rushed out like a whirlwind.

Mrs. Zhao just pretended not to know before, and rejoiced along with her. Du Xian laughed until tears flowed, looked at Du Xiaoyu and said, "No wonder you don't like anyone, it turns out that you have such a fate with Wen Yuan." You kid, don't tell me earlier, or dad will give you a dowry!"

Sure enough, when the dowry was mentioned, Li Yuanqing said with a smile, "I read the almanac, and I will send someone to propose marriage in two days."

"So urgent?" Zhao said in surprise, "We are not prepared."

"It still depends on what you want, as long as the father-in-law and mother-in-law agree, the date is up to you to decide." Li Yuanqing changed his words.

Du Xiaoyu rolled his eyes at him, it turned out that he was teasing her just now, what did he say about the sixth day of the next month!I really thought he was so anxious to marry me back!
Just as we were talking, Zhao Dongzhi and Huang Yun came back, and he was naturally very happy to hear this. Zhao Dongzhi was amazed, "What's the matter with these two people, they kept us all in the dark! Xiaoyu, you really You're really cunning, you obviously fell in love with Wen Yuan, but you didn't make it clear, it made us worry a lot, I'm afraid you won't find someone to marry in the future!"

Du Xiaoyu couldn't argue with anything, as if she fell in love with Li Yuanqing first, she only looked at Li Yuanqing, hoping that he would clarify, but in the end he just laughed.

This guy!Du Xiaoyu gritted her teeth secretly.

Finally, Zhao Dongzhi's family left, and Zhao said, "We'll discuss it after the person who wants to marry you comes. Is it really settled with your father?"

Since Li Yu agreed, she probably wouldn't go back on his word. Li Yuanqing nodded.

Du Xian said, "It's getting so late, why don't I tidy up the room so you can stay overnight."

"No, I'd better go back." Li Yuanqing stood up and bowed to them. Now it's different from before, since he wants to marry Du Xiaoyu, he should avoid it, otherwise if others find out that he stayed overnight recently, he will inevitably gossip again .

Du Xiaoyu knew what he meant, so he didn't go to see him off, but just watched him leave at the door.

There is another update at night, around nine o'clock~~
