Chapter 2521 confidant

Liu Shangshu asked quietly: "Master Zhou, what is your personal business with me?"

Man Bao pondered for a while, and felt that it was not good to ask around the corner, so he asked straight to the point, "Liu Shangshu, I had a drink at my house yesterday, and Mrs. Shangshu also went, and she mentioned Liu Huan again. With my three nieces, I want to know what you think."

Liu Shangshu was stunned, he didn't expect this, this kind of thing, he had already gone to people's house to say kiss, that's what the elders in the family were naturally interested in.

What's the question?

The shrewd Liu Shangshu replied cautiously, "I like the third lady of your family very much. I heard that she studies hard, has good grades, and is very talented, but I'm afraid that Lord Zhou will not like my family Liu Huan."

Hearing this, Man Bao immediately imitated her mother's politeness: "Liu Huan is also good, he treats people with sincerity, and although he is lazy, his talent is not bad. His main character is good, open-minded, and open-minded. It's the rarest."

Liu Shangshu felt that Zhou Man's words were not a complete compliment, but as a Shangshu, he was still keenly aware of Zhou Man's emphasis on "open-mindedness and open-mindedness".

To be honest, this marriage has been mentioned for a short time, and during this period, his wife scolded him twice, and always asked Liu Huan to give Zhou Liru something to get along well with others.

But it has been to no avail.

If it wasn't for Zhou Liru who didn't say anything about his family and intentions, Liu Shangshu would have given up.

It was rare for Zhou Man to take the initiative to mention it today, so Liu Shangshu simply had a frank conversation with her, "Lord Zhou, listening to you, you still have a crush on my little grandson, why doesn't your family agree to this marriage? Woolen cloth?"

After listening to him, Man Bao finally asked the question. He slapped his thigh excitedly. He felt that it was not good until after the shooting. He looked left and right, and simply pulled Liu Shangshu to squat under the bridge pier and sighed, "If it's only about these two children, Personality, I don't have any opinion. I think Liu Huan is interested, and my niece is not mean at all..."

Liu Shangshu also slapped his thigh and said, "Isn't that a perfect match?"

"Marriage doesn't just need two people who are willing. You and I are both people who have come here and know it. This marriage is a good thing to have two surnames. In the future, the little lady of our family will always live in your Liu family, your Liu family. I also have to come and go with our Zhou family frequently, belonging to the half son, that is the exchange between the two families." Man Bao said: "The happiness of the two families in harmony is how many times the happiness of the family is not in harmony."

Liu Shangshu looked up and down Zhou Man, who had only been married for two months, was speechless for a long time.

The two of them talked so deeply that neither of them noticed that a shadow was cast on the bluestone slab in front of them, undulating like a mountain.

It took Liu Shangshu a long time to find the language he wanted to organize, "So you are worried that our Liu family and your Zhou family are not on good terms?"

Man Bao nodded again and again, "I'm afraid that our two families will not get along."

Liu Shangshu smiled humbly and said, "Master Zhou has been worrying too much. Your Zhou family is a generous and charitable family. Although our Liu family is not bad, we still respect our in-laws."

Man Bao made it clearer and said, "We are afraid that our ideas will not match."

She paused and said: "Don't take offense to Liu Shangshu, you know it, I'm an upright person, and I don't shy away from it now. Our Zhou family is from a sect, and in rural areas, it is the norm for men to farm and women to weave. Women not only want to Weaving and spinning, you have to go down to farm with your husband, so it can be said that half of the family is supported by women.”

Liu Shangshu nodded. As the minister of households, he naturally knew this.

"That's why our family doesn't have so many rules of etiquette for poetry and books. I'm smart, my parents and brothers love me, and it's because of the kindness of my husband that I can start studying, so I walked all the way to the court. My parents and my family don't think it's too strange, it's just a matter of honor."

Liu Shangshu thought, they didn't find it strange, oh, no, it was a little strange at first, but it's been so many years, everyone has long been used to Zhou Man being at the big court meeting, anyway, she rarely speaks once a year , there is not much difference between her and her.

However, being a woman can do Zhou Man's job, he is also honored, but her surname is Zhou, not Liu, and now she is surnamed Bai, let alone Liu.

Man Baodao: "That's why my family can ask for medical assistance from Liu. In the future, she will stand in my current position, and the Zhou family will not make a fuss, and even Liru may stand in my position in the future. The Liu family is a family of poetry and books. I'm afraid I can't get used to my Zhou family teaching their daughter like this."

Liu Shangshu immediately understood why they kept rejecting him, "Oops", patted his legs and said, "We didn't make it clear, Master Zhou, is I, Liu Hui, such a shallow and narrow-minded person?"

He said: "If the third lady in the house can have the talent of Lord Zhou, we can wake up laughing from our dreams, not to mention that she is just standing in your current position, in the future, she will be a prince and a chancellor, and we will only Happy, how can you not be used to it?"

He said: "If you want to talk about the most capable woman in the world, it must be the eldest princess first, then your majesty's empress, and then there is Li Guogong's wife, and even the wife of Su Guogong's family has been on the battlefield to save her husband. Yes, one by one, I don't know how enviable it is, I can only be happy to be able to marry such a person for my grandson."

Man Bao looked at him suspiciously, "But why do I occasionally hear some ministers in the court scolding me in private?"

Liu Shangshu coughed slightly embarrassedly, and whispered: "They are all jealous of you. If you are scolded, who of us has never been scolded in private? If you don't believe me, look at Mr. Wei, up to your majesty, down to the sixth department. Subsidiary, who hasn't scolded him secretly? Anyone can say ugly things, but is Lord Wei really as embarrassing as they say? Do they really look down on Lord Wei?"

Man Bao patted his legs excitedly, "Yeah, they are jealous, they are jealous that they can't be Master Wei, and they are also jealous that they can't be me."

Liu Shangshu felt that something was not right, but at this time it was a good time to say that the kiss was a good time. He felt that it was better to be reconciled, so he nodded, "Yes, they are just jealous."

Man Bao felt a sense of confidant, patted Liu Shangshu's arm and said, "Liu Shangshu, I didn't expect you to be such an open-minded person, I underestimate it, to tell you the truth, my niece studied medicine since she was a child. , oh, yes, she was also enlightened by "Thousand Characters" and "The Analects". The more you read, the more ambitious you will be. I can't stop her future because of marriage. You are also a person with grandchildren, you should I understand the psychology of being an elder, so I have been unable to make up my mind."

Liu Shangshu felt that their psychology should be different. If his grandson had this kind of spirit, he would not be in a hurry even if he didn't get married for half his life, but unfortunately Liu Huan didn't have it, so he only got married and spent the rest of his life. Operating a little easier and happier.
