Great Lawyer

Chapter 788 The Proposer ([-])

"That's him?" Liu Rong pointed to Gu Qingshan who was drinking tea, "Father, you want me to marry him?"

Liu Gan nodded. He is fifty years old this year and had four sons before he got such a precious daughter.Since she was born, the family has held her in their hands, for fear that she will bump into her.

Unexpectedly, a flower he raised so hard would be ruined by a beast like this.

He has the heart to kill.

"Qingshan is a nice person. Don't worry if you marry her." Liu Gan said.

Liu Rong looked at Gu Qingshan, her appearance was good and her temperament seemed calm, but she didn't like this.She swept the teapot on the table and said angrily: "I don't want to marry. If you dislike me and embarrass you, I will marry you and become a nun."

"Anyway, as long as I don't want to, none of you can marry me off."

Gu Qingshan remained motionless, drinking tea with downcast eyes.

"Nonsense!" Liu Qian said angrily, "Do you know what people outside say about you now. Qingshan is not an outsider, and with your current reputation, even if you are a nun, you will continue to gossip."

"But it will be different if you marry Qingshan. He will take you to Guilin Mansion together. No one knows you there, so you will still be a decent and upright Mrs. Gu." The more Liu Gan looks at Gu Qingshan, the more he likes him, especially Knowing that he is a general under the command of King Gui, I really wish that the murderer would not be found, so that Gu Qingshan could take Liu Rong away.

"I don't want to marry!" Liu Rong pointed at Gu Qingshan, "Get out. I don't care who you are, but you can lie to my father but not me."

"You're clearly interested in my family's money."

"I tell you, there are no doors."

Gu Qingshan said expressionlessly: "You can't be the master of the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker."

"One month later, I will come to pick up the bride." Gu Qingshan said, staring at Liu Rong, and walked away proudly.

Liu Rong pointed at Gu Qingshan and Liu Gan and said, "Father, you see, how could this kind of person be a good husband, and you let me go to Guilin with him, I think he will tear my bones apart and eat me on the way .”

"It's useless to say what you say about this matter." Liu Gan waved his hand and said, "Take good care of your body and prepare to get married."

Liu Rong ran out crying.

Liu Qian hurriedly went outside to find Gu Qingshan, and asked in a low voice: "This...is it really okay?"

"Our husband said that the truth will definitely come out today." Gu Qingshan said, "You don't need to worry."

Liu Ganhun nodded absently, and said, "Is the gentleman you mentioned really an acquaintance?"

"Yes."

Liu Qian couldn't think of who the other party was.The main reason is that among the acquaintances they know, there is no man who is six feet tall.

"Master." The servant from the outer courtyard ran over and said, "Young Master Xiao is here."

Liu Gan nodded and said, "Please invite him in, I think he is here to find the third child."

"Yes." The boy returned and left.

Gu Qingshan asked casually: "Who is Mr. Xiao?"

"A young man with great ambition. He is also my third son's classmate. The two used to come and go frequently. In the past two years, Xiao Zhiyuan has to do business, so he moves less."

"Yeah." Gu Qing Shan didn't nod his head, and left without asking any further questions.

Liu Gan was about to go back when Xiao Zhiyuan came in from the outside, saluted with a smile on his face, and said, "Nephew, please greet uncle."

"Zhiyuan is here, what are you doing these days, but I haven't come to play at home for a long time." Liu Qian had a good impression of Xiao Zhiyuan.

Xiao Zhiyuan's stature is not high, he is refreshing, with fair skin and a pleasing face, but because he is too pleasing, and his words are deliberately flattering, his face and personality have become very blurred. distinct.

However, such people are very popular and suitable for going out to deal with people and do business.

"I've been doing some small business recently, and I've found a good piece of land to open a salt farm with my friends. I just came back from Annan yesterday." Xiao Zhiyuan said.

Liu Gan got a little interested, and chatted with Xiao Zhiyuan about the saltworks, "To set up a saltworks in Annan, have you taken care of all the ghosts and gods around you?"

Surrounded by the sea in Annan, there are indeed many salt fields. His family has a large salt field in Thang Long. The Liu family's family fortune was originally based on this salt field. Although his family business is more than that now, the salt field is still the foundation.

However, due to civil strife in Annan, it is not easy to open a saltworks in Annan.

Xiao Zhiyuan actually has this ability.

"It's all taken care of. I may stay in Annan for a while, and I may leave next month. It's rare to have time to come back this time, so I came here to visit my uncle."

Liu Gan is very satisfied with Xiao Zhiyuan's ability.

"I came back yesterday and heard about Sister Rong..." Xiao Zhiyuan sighed, "Uncle, please don't be angry, your body is the most important thing."

Liu Gan got angry when he said it, and waved his hands: "It doesn't matter if you don't mention it, but the old man wants to die."

"Uncle," Xiao Zhiyuan said suddenly, "Sister Rong is such a good girl, what should I do in the future, if she can't stay at home forever, then this life will be too miserable."

"After I heard about this, I stayed up all night last night, feeling very distressed."

Liu Qian lamented Xiao Zhiyuan's kindness, and said with relief: "Let's wait until the future to talk about her future, and let's talk about the murderer first."

"Uncle, if you don't dislike my nephew's stupidity and incompetence, and his family is poor, my nephew is willing to marry Sister Rong as his wife, and Mingmei is marrying a big sedan chair."

"In this life, I will treat her like a pearl like a treasure, and love her for the rest of my life."

Liu Qian was shocked, and immediately thought of what Gu Qingshan said, "If the other party hears that you betrothed Miss Liu to me, they will definitely appear."

Could it be that that bastard is Xiao Zhiyuan?

Liu Gan looked at Xiao Zhiyuan, who smiled warmly and kindly with red lips and white teeth, how could he be that kind of beast?
impossible.

"You asked to marry Rongrong, do you know what happened to Rongrong?" Liu Gan said.

Xiao Zhiyuan nodded, and said: "To tell you the truth, my nephew has always admired Rongrong. If it wasn't for fear that my uncle would look down on my nephew, my nephew would have come to ask for marriage."

"Now that I'm here, it's not that I think Sister Rong is bad, but that if I don't come again, I might regret it for the rest of my life."

As Xiao Zhiyuan said, he saluted Liu Qian and bowed to the end, "I beg my uncle to help you."

"This matter came too suddenly, I need to think carefully and ask Rongrong's opinion." Liu Gan said.

Xiao Zhiyuan should be, got up and said: "Yes. This is a lifelong event for Sister Rong, so don't be hasty."

"Don't bother my nephew, I'll go home and wait for news from my uncle."

Liu Gan nodded, watching Xiao Zhiyuan go away.

Du Jiuyan raised his eyebrows and said, "Xiao Zhiyuan wants to marry Liu Rong?"

"Yes." Gu Qingshan said, "Didn't you say that anyone who came to ask for a marriage should be the murderer that night?"

Du Jiuyan said: "Yes."

"Go and check this person's whereabouts." Du Jiuyan said, "In the past three months, where and what did he do, and how he usually behaves."

Han Dangying, went out to investigate with Qiao Mo and Zheng Yuqin.

"Interesting," Du Jiuyan looked at the crowd and said, "Our 1 taels are already in our hands."

Qian Daoan asked: "You, have you found the murderer?"

"Hmm!" Du Jiuyan said mysteriously.

Qian Daoan was taken aback, Song Jiyi asked curiously: "Who, who is it?"

"I won't tell you." Du Jiuyan raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's think about it first, where can we go for a good meal when we get the money?"

Song Jiyi hummed and gave Du Jiuyan a blank look.

In the afternoon, Qiao Mo and Han Dang came back.Qiao Mo said: "Princess, there may be something wrong."

"What's wrong?" Dou Rongxing asked.

"This Xiao Zhiyuan just returned to Zhen'an yesterday. He went to Annan with his friends on the first day of March. He has been there for several months, and a friend testified for him."

"And this Xiao Zhiyuan looks gentle, friendly, and polite, he doesn't look like a bad guy at all." Zheng Yuqin sipped water and said, "Could it be a mistake?"

Everyone looked at Du Jiuyan.

"Anyone else?" Qian Daoan asked.

The Liu family sat around discussing Liu Rong's marriage.Mrs. Liu originally preferred Gu Qingshan, but now that Xiao Zhiyuan also proposes, she prefers Xiao Zhiyuan.

"After all, Zhiyuan is better than Gu Qingshan."

Liu Yongxu, Liu Rong's eldest brother, said: "That's true, Xiao Zhiyuan is still from Zhen'an. After my younger sister gets married with him, she can often go back to her mother's house in the future."

The third brother Liu Yongkang frowned, hesitantly said: "Didn't you investigate the murderer first? Why are you talking about marriage now?"

"Don't worry about finding someone, just take your time."

Mrs. Liu said: "Ronger's current situation, you really won't be able to get married if you slow down. Not only is she famous, but she also... who dares to want it?"

Unable to give birth, this is the biggest problem.

"It's because she can't give birth, so the people who come to ask for marriage have problems." Liu Yongkang said, "The person surnamed Gu is, and so is Zhiyuan."

Liu Rong has been drinking tea next door, listening to her father and brothers talk about her marriage.

Liu Yongkang said: "Compare your heart to your heart. If it were me, I would definitely hesitate."

Liu Qian was about to speak, but the servant outside the door replied: "Master, Gu Qingshan is here."

"Let him go!" Liu Rong said through the screen, "I don't want to see him."

Liu Qian went out and stood on the porch with Gu Qingshan talking, came back after a while, and immediately made a decision: "Since I have already promised Gu Qingshan, I can't go back on my word. Gu Qingshan is settled. I will choose a good day tomorrow and arrange the marriage. Settle down."

"Father!" Liu Rong jumped up and shouted, "How could you do this?"

Liu Gan glanced at his daughter, then walked away.

Liu Rong was so angry that she went back to her room feeling irritable and restless. She didn't even eat dinner, and she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep after washing up at night.

"Miaomiao," suddenly, her maid in the courtyard shouted, "Miaomiao, where are you?"

Liu Rong sat up suddenly, opened the door and asked, "What's wrong with Miaomiao?"

"Miss, Miaomiao has run out again, and this servant will chase after her."

　The alarm rang yesterday morning, and I turned it off. I slept with Ms. Li until 10:[-], got dressed, washed, had breakfast, and went out in [-] minutes. Fortunately, I was not late.
