Chapter 161 Birthday 7
As expected, Li Chong raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Then how about you be a family? My grandson is also sixteen years old, and he is similar to your daughter's youth. Do you like it?"
Ran Pan waved his hand and wiped the sweat dripping on his forehead and forced a smile. "The old man is joking. The noble son is young and successful. He can be the best among the young man in the State of Zhao. How can I not like it..."
Li Chong interrupted with a smile, "So you agreed?"
Ran looked at her daughter and saw that she still looked as usual and couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so she didn't dare to answer. In case she didn't agree and made trouble on the spot, it would be inappropriate.
Li Chong waited patiently for a while, but he kept wiping his sweat and didn't reply to himself for a long time. Suddenly, his face became grim, and his eyes showed a sad meaning. He asked coldly, "Why, doesn't the Ran County magistrate want to marry his daughter into my house?" Is it possible that you don't like our Li family?
Ran Pan quickly waved his hand and said, "The old man misunderstood, misunderstood. I just think this is a matter for young people after all. It's better to ask them for their opinions."
Li Chong frowned and turned his head to look at Ran Min. His face softened slightly and said, "Ran Min, are you willing to marry Xin'er?"
Ran Min raised her head and met Li Chong's eyes and whispered, "Dare to ask the old man, do you ask me like this to let me choose truthfully? If I can't say it well, you won't embarrass me, will you?
Li Chong was stunned and said, "Of course, since I ask you this, I certainly want to hear your own opinion." He was slightly angry in his heart. The meaning of Ran Min's words was obviously to anger his bottom line, but it was not good to suppress people in front of a little girl in front of Hu Yi.
Hu Yi, who was beside him, smiled and took a sip of the tea cup, looking gloating. He had a closed meal at Ran Min's place. Although he didn't say anything, he still had some grudges in his heart. Now if Zhao Xin also has closed the door, it will be fair,
Zhao Xin looked at Ran Min with a strange face. He couldn't guess what she was thinking. Obviously, it was not an agreed thing, but it seemed that he was going to change his mind. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
Mrs. Ran, who had been silent, secretly pulled her daughter's hand, and Ran Bible also turned sideways and secretly wink, reminding her to pay attention to talking. You should know that this place is not as good as home. If you offend Li Chong, their family's life will become very sad.
Ran Min turned a blind eye to her parents' reminders, but said with a shallow smile, "Thank you for your understanding. It's just that the marriage event is the fate of my parents. As a matchmaker, I dare not go over it as a junior. Zhao Xin and I are also acquaintances. Although I don't have feelings for him, I don't have any repulsion.
Li Chong was stunned for a long time, and then he understood the meaning of Ran Min's words. Suddenly, he couldn't laugh or cry, and then looked at Ran Ben said, "Then would you like it?"
When Ran saw that his daughter bowed her head easily, he was suddenly overjoyed and said in a hurry: "How can I be unwilling to have Mr. Zhao such a fast son-in-law?"
Li Chong then smiled and said, "Okay, that's the marriage. I'll ask someone to choose an auspicious day to pick up your sensitive girl."
Zhao Xin shrank his head, dodged Ran Min's secret sharp eyes, hesitated and said first, "That... Wait a minute."
Li Suboqi looked at him strangely; "What's wrong?"
Zhao Xin scratched his head and said with an embarrassed face, "Dunpa, you can slow down a little."
Li Chong stared at him and said, "How long will it take?"
Zhao Xin squeezed out a smile in front of him and said, "One year."
Hu Yi, who was watching the bustle, couldn't help laughing. Mr. Li Chong blushed slightly and said angrily with wide eyes; "Presumptuous, are you kidding me?"
Zhao Xin bowed and said, "Grandpa is happy and angry, and the grandson dares not, but he really has to suffer as a last resort."
Li Chong blew his beard and stared and said, "What's the matter?"
Zhao Xin looked around and said with an embarrassed face, "Dunpa, this man has a lot of ears and eyes. Can you let me tell you in the inner room?"
Before Li Chong replied, Hu Yi had already opened his mouth and smiled and said, "That's not good. There is a family of the Ran family here. If you don't have a suitable reason to delay the girl for a year, it doesn't make sense. If I can't stand it, I have to help the girl stand out.
Zhao Xin's face was difficult and hesitated; "This..."
When Li Chong saw that his words flashed and he was even more unhappy, he roared and said, "If you have something to say, what's the ink?"
Ran Min, who was beside him, also looked at him secretly, and was really interested in what excuse Zhao Xin could find.
Zhao Xin had no choice but to spread out his hand and say, "Well, to be honest, the reason why I can be put to death on the battlefield several times is that I have met a strange person to teach martial arts. Now that the internal life has been achieved, the master has repeatedly told me to keep a child until I am 16 years old. Now there is still a one-year deadline. Please forgive me.
As soon as Zhao Xin said this, he was stunned. Ran Min's eyes were wide open, with a strange expression. She never thought that Zhao Xin would find such an excuse, and he was talking about men and women in public, and she was so ashamed to death. His eyes couldn't help glancing at Zhao Xin, thinking that what he said was true.
Zhao Xin glanced at Ran Min quickly, but saw that she looked at herself strangely. It was also funny in her heart, but she still pretended to be serious.
Li Chong waited for Zhao Xin to say, "Is what you said true?"
Zhao Xin hurriedly nodded and replied, "It's true. I dare not say anything."
Li Chong saw that Zhao Xinyan was chiseled, not like a fake adopted son, and he also wondered why his grandson had changed so much after only a few years. It turned out that he only remembered that he had been smart since he was a child, and he had never really heard that his skills would be so good.
So Li Chong thought for a while before he said, "Why don't you make a marriage contract today and get married later after a year. That's good."
Say it and look at Ran Ben. Although it is an inquiry, the tone does not mean to ask at all. Ran had no choice but to nod and said, "Everything is up to the old man."
Li Chong clapped his hands and said with a smile; "This is the best."
"What's good?" At this time, Li Dui's loud laughter came from outside the door, and Li Dui's brother and sister came in side by side. Li walked up to Li Chong and said angrily, "Father, you are too domineering. It's really unreasonable that you didn't call me to agree on my marriage."
Li Chong smiled and said, "I found such a good daughter-in-law for your son. Why don't you thank me quickly and complain about me? That's unreasonable."
Li didn't answer, but just greeted Mrs. Ran with a smile. They were old acquaintances. Although their friendship was not very good, they had met a lot more or less. His eyes fell on Ran Min, who was standing there. Seeing that she was beautiful and charming, he couldn't help but feel good, so he smiled and held Ran Min's hand. "You are Ran Min. You are really good-looking. It's really lucky for my Xin'er to marry you."
Ran Min saw that Li's face was dignified and his face was quite amiable. Some of the tension in her heart gradually disappeared. She reluctantly smiled and said, "Madam, I'm flattered. In terms of beauty, I can't compare with you."
Ran Min said the truth. Although Li has been thirty-two years old, his skin color is still crystal clear, like a girl, and the two stand together like sisters. Although Ran Min is beautiful, she is still young and does not grow up. Compared with Li, she is a little less mature.
No woman doesn't like others to praise her appearance, especially women who have had the best time. Of course, Li was no exception. When she heard Ran Min's praise for herself, she was naturally happy, so she affectionately pulled Ran Min to ask questions, and her voice was quite intimate.
Li Dui frowned and approached Li Chong and whispered, "Father, Brother Zhao is not here, so you can help Xin'er decide on a marriage. If he knows, even if he won't say anything, he must be very unhappy."
Li Chong said unhappily, "Is it possible that I, a grandfather, can't decide the marriage for Xiner? If the boy Zhao has any opinions, if he has the courage, let him come to me to mention it."
It is said that when the Li family married the poor Zhao Jian, Li Chong always strongly opposed it. In the end, he had to agree to the marriage because he couldn't resist the Li family with a strong personality. However, he has always been a little worried about Zhao Jian in his heart. Even now that he has become an internal history, it is still the same.
And Zhao Jian is also born with a strong personality. He easily refuses to give in. He should be polite. As for his usual exchanges, there are much less. Most of them are Li who go back to live for a day or two. Therefore, the relationship between Weng's son-in-law is not very harmonious, and it makes some sense for Li Wei to say so.
Seeing his father's disapproving adopted son, Li Dui raised his eyebrows and was about to start persuading, but he saw a servant running quickly and shouted;
"Lord, the young master is back."
