After the official business was discussed,
Then it's time to talk about personal matters.
Yunlong couldn't wait any longer and secretly tugged at his father's sleeve.
Yun Tianbiao coughed lightly.
"Brother Liu, now that niece Ah Xiu has been found, when will we arrange the marriage between our two families?"
"Marriage?"
Liu Guang paused for a moment, his face showing confusion.
"Brother Yun, didn't you retire some time ago...?"
Chapter 438 Our Yun family didn't break off the engagement!
"Well, Brother Liu probably misunderstood at the time,"
Yun Tianbiao is lying through his teeth.
Fortunately, his face was already red.
That makes it difficult to tell whether he was embarrassed or not.
"I was just worried that my niece wouldn't be found, and Long'er is my only child, so..."
Yun Tianbiao said shamelessly,
"In any case, now that my niece has been found, shouldn't the marriage be arranged?"
"This matter..."
Liu Guang frowned deeply.
Somewhat hesitant,
My daughter's marriage was played like this.
He was naturally very unhappy.
But firstly,
The two families did indeed have a previous marriage agreement.
If news of the broken engagement gets out,
Regarding Liu Huiniang and the Liu family's reputation,
This will obviously cause great damage.
Furthermore,
Liu Guang and Yun Tianbiao were, after all, longtime friends.
Although the Yun family had previously broken off the engagement,
But when they started looking for Liu Huiniang...
But they did their best.
If you really want to refuse,
Liu Guang, however, was somewhat embarrassed to admit it.
"Brother, as the saying goes, it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage!"
Chen Xizhen suddenly spoke up to advise,
"The Liu and Yun families have been friends for generations. Since Ah Xiu married into the Yun family, she knows them well."
"Isn't this much better than finding some other family whose background you don't even know?"
The old Taoist priest was simply worried that if Liu Huiniang's marriage was delayed...
Then this niece might be tricked by the leader of Liangshan.
Although the Yun family broke their promise earlier...
But in the old Taoist priest's view,
In short, his family background was respectable.
He's much better than Zhao Yuan, the bandit leader of that mountain stronghold.
"Since my brother has said so, then Ah Xiu's marriage will proceed as previously agreed."
Liu Guang nodded and agreed to the matter.
........
After returning to the backyard,
Liu Guang recounted how the Yun family no longer broke off the engagement.
Liu Huiniang's mother was immediately displeased.
"They were the ones who wanted to call off the engagement back then, and now they're the ones who want to get married!"
"Is our Ah Xiu so unlucky that she can be looked down upon by the Yun family?"
"Well, no matter what, the Yun family has always been a close family to ours,"
Liu Guang also knew he was in the wrong.
He couldn't even muster any backbone in front of his wife.
They could only persuade him.
"If Ah Xiu marries Yunlong, at least she won't suffer any grievances in the future."
"They're not even married yet, and the Yun family has already caused so much trouble!"
Madam Liu snorted coldly.
"If we really get married, who knows how the Yun family will bully Ah Xiu!"
"Madam, no matter what, I've already agreed, so there's no reason for me to go back on my word."
Liu Guang said helplessly,
"Furthermore, if Ah Xiu misses out on this marriage with the Yun family, she will be burdened with the reputation of being jilted, and it will probably not be easy for her to find a good family again."
"That makes sense, but..."
At this point, Madam Liu said
He hesitated, looking troubled.
After a conversation with my daughter last night,
Madam Liu already understood.
A daughter's heart
It's likely that the blame was already placed on the wealthy Mr. Zhao who saved her.
Mrs. Liu originally planned to explain her daughter's feelings to her husband.
When Liu Guang led his men to Yuncheng to thank the wealthy Zhao,
Let's also see if he's really as good as his daughter says.
If he really has good character,
They did their best to facilitate the marriage.
But she didn't expect that...
Before they could even speak,
The Yun family, however, shamelessly wanted to renew the marriage agreement.
"."What's wrong?"
Liu Guang glanced at his wife in surprise.
"But are you worried that Ah Xiu won't agree?"
As the saying goes, marriage is arranged by parents and matchmakers.
"Since ancient times, haven't the marriages of children always been decided by their parents?"
"Even if Ah Xiu is unwilling now, she will eventually understand the hardships we parents have endured in the future."
Let's hope so...
Madam Liu sighed inwardly.
She did not reveal that her daughter already had someone she liked.
She knew the current situation.
Even if you say it, it won't make a difference.
Liu Guang was stubborn.
Since we have already agreed to the Yun family,
Then they certainly won't go back on their word!
........
(The other side, which is good)
Liu Huiniang, unaware that her marriage to the Yun family had been reinstated...
He was pulling Chen Liqing along.
They discussed how to fool her parents.
"Sister, what if Brother Zhao really did buy a house in Yuncheng and acquire some land?"
Liu Huiniang said with anticipation,
"And my parents still don't know his true identity, they only see him as a wealthy man, so how can our relationship possibly work out?"
"I can't guess that,"
Chen Liqing shook her head.
He subconsciously raised his hand and touched his chest.
There is a faint scar there.
It was left behind when she shielded Zhao Yuan from an arrow...
Chapter 439 Zhu Yongqing
And during these days,
Do not know why,
Every time I heard Liu Huiniang talk about her relationship with Zhao Yuan,
Chen Liqing has this scar on her chest.
There's always a touch of bitterness to it.
The two sisters were chatting in the yard.
Suddenly, footsteps could be heard.
The two turned their heads and looked.
It was Yun Tianbiao's son, Yunlong, and Zhu Yongqing, the youngest of the three Zhu brothers.
It turns out that what was happening in the front yard just now...
Seeing that his marriage to Liu Huiniang was settled,
Yunlong was naturally overjoyed.
This was still during the Northern Song Dynasty.
The separation of men and women was not as strict as in later generations.
In addition, the Liu family was currently residing at the Yun family's residence.
