Travel to ancient times and make a fortune

Chapter 196

When Li Xiao went to see Ouyang Yiyun off, Li Yuan caught Li Dashan and questioned him. Naturally, Li Dashan would not hide it from his wife.

After Li Yuan listened, all his emotions could only be described as "shocked".

"Did the Fourth Young Master really say that?" Li Yuan still felt a little unbelievable, but hoped that everything was true.

"Well, if he hadn't personally promised that he would only have one little person in his life and would never take concubines, I wouldn't have agreed and asked him to call me father-in-law right now!"

Li Dashan hummed, and Li Yuan, who was listening on the side, was both angry and amused.

"You haven't even gotten engaged yet, so why did you call me your father-in-law? You're not afraid of ruining your daughter's reputation."

After thinking about it, Li Yuan added: "However, I really didn't expect that the fourth son of the royal family would actually make such a promise. Maybe this is a small blessing!"

When Li Dashan heard his wife say that Ouyang Yiyun was a blessing to his daughter, he was a little unhappy at first, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say any rebuttal.

Alas, it’s hard to say, it’s true.

However, thinking that my daughter's 16th birthday has not yet arrived, but now she is about to discuss marriage.His old father felt a little unhappy.

Looking up, he happened to see his daughter walking towards her, and she started to scream.

Li Xiao: What should I do if I suddenly want to leave?
But before she could turn around, her old father spoke.

"Xiaoxiao, daddy's precious daughter, daddy is really reluctant to let you get married! But why are there always so many stinky men coveting our treasure? It's really bad, eh eh eh..."

Li Xiao stiffened when she heard it. His father, under normal circumstances, is really not like this. Don't blame her for not being used to it.

She glanced at her mother and saw that her mother only smiled softly and looked at her like this. She had no choice but to step forward, pat her father's back gently, and coaxed: "Daddy, be good, little one." I’m not married yet, so I won’t cry if I don’t cry.”

After her father's whining finally stopped, she said a little mischievously: "Besides, even if I get married, it's only the distance between the outer city and the inner city. If my father wants Xiaoxiao in the future, Xiaoxiao Just come here and have some food!"

Li Dashan, who had just stopped pretending to cry, choked so much that he burped when he heard his daughter's words. Then, while hiccupping, he pointed at Li Xiao and called him "little heartless" with a smile.

Several servants waiting outside the hall listened to the laughter coming from the hall, looked at each other, and laughed softly.

Ouyang Yiyun and Li Xiao's matter, after getting Li Dashan's nod, Ouyang Yiyun was ready to discuss it with his father, queen, mother and concubine.

He was not in a hurry to propose marriage. First, Li Dashan wanted to keep Li Xiao for a while longer, so Ouyang Yiyun would naturally not go against his future father-in-law.

Second, Ouyang Yiyun's idea from the beginning was to ask the emperor to grant a marriage, so he needed to find a time to go to the emperor to ask for the imperial edict.

Putting aside the matter between Li Xiao and Ouyang Yiyun for the time being, Li Qingbai finally got the fourth place in the martial arts examination, because he was originally a ninth-grade school captain, and was finally awarded the rank of seventh-grade lieutenant general.

After Li Qingbai was promoted, he began to work in the imperial city every day. Although his rank was not high, he was responsible for guarding the imperial city and could be regarded as a royal guard.

August can be regarded as a month of good things for the Li family.

First of all, Li Qingbai was promoted and at the same time he was engaged to the daughter of Yongchang House.Secondly, Li Xiao's marriage has been settled.Finally, on the last day of August, Min Shulan found out that she was pregnant!
This made Li Dashan and his wife extremely happy, as well as Li Qingzhu, who was about to become a father.

Early in the morning on the first day of September, when Ouyang Yiyun learned the news, he was extremely envious of Li Qingzhu.

He is four years older than Li Qingzhu. Now, Li Qingzhu is about to become a father, but he is still waiting miserably to marry a wife.

There really is no harm without comparison.Ouyang Yiyun, who was hurt, went to the palace to see the emperor the next day.

"You kid, have you finally captured someone and come to ask for an imperial edict?" The emperor looked away from the memorial in his hand and looked at Ouyang Yiyun with a smile.

"Uncle Huang, you are so wise and powerful!" Ouyang Yiyun flattered him first, "Hey, no, Xiaoxiao's father finally relented, but he wants to keep Xiaoxiao for another two years."

"My nephew didn't think he was in a hurry at first, but yesterday I heard that Xiaoxiao and his third sister-in-law were happy, so I just thought that uncle Huang, because of your great grace, why not give me a marriage first, so that my nephew would have something to look forward to first?" …”

As he spoke, he had an exaggerated and flattering look on his face that made the emperor laugh out loud.

"Okay, okay," the emperor laughed cheerfully for a while before saying, "You little fool, this show is a bit exaggerated. Go back and wait."

After saying that, he thought of something again and continued: "Go and greet your imperial grandmother and make her happy as well."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yiyun said hello and then left the Imperial Study Room and went to Cining Palace.The emperor continued to review the memorial in his hand.

The imperial edict granting marriage arrived at the Li family at the end of the third lunar month of September.

Fortunately, Li Dashan and his wife were at home at that time, and Li Xiao hadn't gone out yet.

When the father-in-law announced the order and asked Li Xiao to take over the order, the four people staying at home were shocked at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be reasonable.

This is not the first time that the Li family has received an imperial edict, and they are already familiar with the process.

He knelt down respectfully to listen to the imperial edict, and then respectfully sent the father-in-law who announced the edict away.

Li Xiao looked at the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand, but there was a little helplessness in his eyes.

She said that Ouyang Yiyun was acting strange yesterday, and it turned out to be because of this.

Looking at his parents who had returned, Li Xiao smiled and said, "Dad, mom and dad, my parents still need to worry about it next!"

The imperial edict said that the wedding would be completed on a certain date. Although the wedding date was not set, it also meant that the two families needed to start discussing the marriage.

Eunuch Xuanzhi had just left the Li family, but within an hour, the news of the emperor's marriage to the fourth son of Prince Xiaoyao and the head of Liuning County had spread among the noble circles in the capital.

The resentment in the hearts of those who had come to Li Xiao's house to propose marriage instantly disappeared.

Nonsense, those are people who have received imperial edicts twice. Where do they have the courage to feel resentful?

I'm afraid this imperial edict was prepared early in the morning, and I'm just waiting for the right opportunity!

Because of two imperial edicts, Li Xiao once again became a hot topic in Beijing.Those who didn't take her seriously at first began to take a second look at Li Xiao and the Li family.

Naturally, Prime Minister Fan's Mansion learned about the emperor's marriage grant immediately.

When the news reached Fan Ruoqi's ears, there was a "crackling" sound in her yard.

Fan Xiang heard the news when he was on duty. It would be impossible for him to say that he had no idea at all.
