Only then did Xie Songhua realize that Xie Yuncang was encouraging her to continue.
"I have been thinking about the current situation during this period. Even though there are rumors that our family has a bad reputation, I have never seen in history that a powerful official with great power has really lost his official position because of this so-called reputation.
It is impossible for the Holy Father to judge my father like this, and I believe that my father will not resign because of these reasons like those slanderous and rotten scholars.
Therefore, although it is a bit difficult at the moment, one day, my father will return to Wenyuan Pavilion. There is only one thing that can't be eliminated.
That is the school called Shensi Hall. All the people who come to class are well-known families in the capital. Now it is said that this Shensi Hall is the place where our Xie family chooses husbands for our daughters. It is also spread so unfavorably and outrageously that anyone who threatens face
It’s no longer easy for the family to invite their own children over, and the Shen Si Pavilion… no longer exists.”
After she finished speaking, she stood up from the chair and saluted Xie Yuncang, "These are all my daughter's random thoughts. She stays at home all day long and doesn't know the sky is high and the sea is vast outside. These thoughts may not be correct, but I just want to give
Father, just give me a heads up."
Xie Yuncang also stood up from his seat, but turned around and walked to the row of bookcases at the back. He took out a letter from the upper drawer and handed it to Xie Songhua, "Take a look."
Xie Songhua glanced at him in surprise, then took it and took a closer look.
There was a bit of embarrassment on his face for a moment, "It turns out that my father has known about it for a long time, and his daughter knows much more about it. My daughter is really..."
"You are very good!" Xie Yuncang looked at her with a hint of pride, "You sit in the boudoir all day long, and it is very rare to think of this level. Not to mention you, it is your second brother. No one has mentioned it.
, I’m afraid I haven’t even thought about it.
What's more, among the rumors you collect every day, most of them are slanderous against yourself. You can put aside your own emotions and find the key points, which is rarer than many men who study for imperial examinations."
When he looked at Xie Songhua, there was suddenly a twinge of regret in his eyes, "It's a pity that you are actually a girl, otherwise..."
What he said later was obviously useless, so he said no more.
Xie Songhua hurriedly said: "Even if I am a daughter, my father can still teach his daughter that whether he is a man or a woman, the wider the horizon, the better, right?"
These words seemed to remind Xie Yuncang of something. He pondered for a while before he was about to speak. A man ran into the yard and said, "Master, Mr. Chen has come to propose marriage."
These words made the faces of the father and daughter in the room suddenly change. Xie Yuncang glanced at his daughter and asked suspiciously: "Which Mr. Chen? What kind of marriage are you proposing?"
The steward's face was filled with joy, "Who else could it be, Mr. Chen? Mr. Chen Liu, the top scholar in the undergraduate program, is inviting a matchmaker to come to the door and wants to marry our fourth girl!"
When Xie Yuncang took Xie Songhua to Shou'an Hall, Chen Liuzheng was standing in the hall talking to the old lady.
"The junior and the fourth girl have known each other since childhood. I know that the fourth girl has a pure nature and admire her for her courtesy and generosity. Today, I specially invited my mentor and matchmaker to ask for this marriage for me. My mother just had some trouble at home some time ago.
, returned to his hometown.
This matter has been informed in a letter, and my parents are requested to leave for Beijing as soon as possible after receiving the letter to prepare for the younger generation. The two elders have long known that the younger generation has this intention in mind, and there is no suggestion that they will object, so they specially chose today to pay a visit."
He was still wearing a green shirt, but the original coarse cloth was replaced by thick straight trousers. His whole body became thinner and taller, like a pole of green bamboo.
He was born well, and he had a unique tenacity. Standing here now, although his attitude was humble, he still looked like someone who should not be looked down upon.
I have to say that he is indeed an outstanding young man.
Xie Feiwu stood nearby with a smile on his face.
Chen Liu was the examiner in the examination of this subject, so in name, all the Jinshi in this subject were his students.
Chen Liu asked him to protect the media, which was justified and very appropriate.
Seeing their father and daughter coming over, the smile on Xie Feiwu's face became brighter and brighter. After saluting his brother, he said with a smile: "Look at me, this student, I really have the best vision. I got the top prize that day, so many students."
People came to our door one after another asking for marriage, but they all agreed. It turned out that they were holding back their energy and wanted to marry our fourth girl!"
The old lady was also happy. If it had been done before, she might not have been able to like Chen Liu.
A No. 1 scholar is certainly good, but it also depends on who the No. 1 scholar comes from.
He came from a remote area and had few official resources, so that's all.
But the situation is different now. The Xie family is currently being attacked by these random rumors, especially Xie Songhua, who has had countless buckets of dirty water thrown at her.
At this time, Chen Liu is willing to say that he wants to marry Xie Songhua in such a big way, which feels like giving timely help.
The old lady's heart was full of satisfaction. After all, Xie Songhua was so implicated by Xie Shuhua that she couldn't find anyone better. This Chen Liu looked very pleasing to the eye.
What's more, Chen Liu's way of doing things makes people feel very comfortable, and he doesn't feel a little negligent because of the current situation of the Xie family.
Not only did he invite a matchmaker, but he also informed his parents' attitude very solemnly, and even came to explain the situation in person.
Everyone else was happy for Xie Songhua, but only Xie Songhua was a little confused.
She looked at Chen Liu in surprise, but met his smiling eyes.
She has seen pigs running away. Could she know what such a pair of friendly smiling eyes meant?
Xie Songhua looked away quickly as if he was being burned, and then sat down behind Xie Tu.
"Are you shy?" Xie Tu lowered his voice and whispered to her, "Or do you actually prefer the young master?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" How could Xie Songhua explain his feelings clearly to Xie Tu in one or two sentences? He could only avoid the topic vaguely.
Xie Yuncang looked at his daughter and then turned to Chen Liu.
As a father, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with Chen Liu's family background. After all, if the Chen family is married to his own family, is he still worried that Chen Liu has no connections?
As for family capital, that is no longer a problem.
In fact, Xie Yuncang also admires this young man very much, and likes his tenacity and his always sober attitude that are rare among young people nowadays.
only……
Seeing that he didn't speak immediately, the others couldn't help but look at him.
Even Chen Liu seemed a little surprised by Xie Yuncang's deep thought.
Realizing that everyone's eyes were on him, Xie Yuncang came back to his senses and his expression became a little serious, "I heard a few days ago that Mr. Gao often invites you to his residence. What do you think of this?"
Chen Liu didn't expect Xie Yuncang to ask this. After being stunned for a moment, the look on his face became a little unnatural, "That's what happened."
"So, have you made it clear to the Gao family that you have no interest in the eldest daughter of the Gao family?"
This sentence made everyone's expressions change. Is there still a relationship between Chen Liu and the Gao family?
Just as Chen Liu was about to speak, the butler hurried in again, "Master, no, it's not good!"
