Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

Chang Hongxuan's words made Chang Yifei fall into deep thought.

Yes, if Liu Donglai and his colleagues earned their official positions with their own hard work, Xu Yiru and Xu Ruolan got their official positions because of Liu Xu.

Xiao Yan was obviously mentioning Liu Xu's identity. If nothing unexpected happened, Liu Xu would definitely receive a reward after the grain seeds were confirmed.

The mourning period for the late emperor was three years. If Xiao Yan delayed it by studying government affairs for another two or three years, by then Liu Xu would be old enough to marry, so it was possible...

"Dad, I won't agree to this, and my godfather and godmother won't agree either."

Chang Yifei and Xu Ruolan have more contact. Although Liu Donglai is less at home, it can be seen that their father really dotes on Liu Xu. Such a family would never be willing to send their daughter to that cannibalistic harem.

"Your younger sister already has enough glory on her now. Farming is both an advantage and a disadvantage. If she could use machinery, do you think the royal family would let her marry someone else?" Chang Hongxuan said, looking out the window.

His adopted daughter was too smart. She could see that the girl was trying her best to cover it up, otherwise she wouldn't have been hiding in Liujia Village behind the scenes.

But fate is so cruel. In such a remote town, she managed to rescue an emperor with just a few casual moves. Should we say that she is too lucky or too unlucky?

"Dad, I got it! I will familiarize myself with the blueprints as soon as possible. If anyone asks me about it in the future, I will say that I figured it out on my own. But we still have to remind my little sister about this."

Chang Hongxuan nodded upon hearing this. This matter should not only remind Liu Xu, but also remind Liu Donglai and the others. If the emperor just wanted to repay the favor of saving his life, it would be fine. If he really had that idea, they could make plans first.

At the same time, the Xu family in Beijing was also discussing this topic.

If Chang Hongxuan could think of it, how could Xu Mingli, who had been immersed in officialdom for many years, not think of it?

"Brother, I am worried that His Majesty is not just repaying the favor of saving my life."

"We need to ask my brother-in-law about this matter. He is Baoer's father. If it's him...we shouldn't say much." Xu Mingzhe said with a frown.

Xu Mingli also knew this truth, so he immediately asked Xu Huaiyi to invite Liu Donglai.

Liu Donglai was just about to take a rest when he heard that his uncle was looking for him, so he rushed over immediately.

"Big brother, second brother, what happened?" Liu Donglai asked anxiously when he entered the room. Otherwise, why would someone invite him to the study at this time?

Xu Mingzhe glanced at his brother, and Xu Mingli told Liu Donglai his guess, and then asked him what he thought.

"Impossible! That harem is a man-eating devil's den. I will never let Baoer go in!" Liu Donglai was so excited that he stood up directly.

In the past few days, he has heard a lot of dirty things in the harem from the major general. How could he let his own daughter fall into that fire pit?

"Hehe, brother-in-law, don't get excited. We are just guessing. Besides, Baoer is only eight years old. Even if that person has an idea, it will take many years!" Xu Mingzhe hurriedly comforted him.

"Brother, he is... isn't this repaying kindness with enmity?" Liu Donglai said anxiously.

"Brother-in-law, be careful with your words!" Xu Mingli hurriedly stopped him, and then said slowly: "Brother is right, we are just guessing now. Since you think so, let's discuss it."

Seeing that Xu Mingzhe and Liu Donglai were both looking at him, Xu Mingli had no choice but to continue, "It can't be avoided this year. My idea is to let Baoer keep a low profile in the future, and it's best if she doesn't come to the capital. There are many noble ladies in Kyoto anyway, maybe that guy will forget about her in a few years."

"What if you haven't forgotten?" Liu Donglai said in a muffled voice.

"Then let's arrange a marriage for Baoer first!" Xu Mingzhe suggested.

When Liu Donglai heard this, he refused again, "How can that be possible? How old is Bao'er? Big brother, I...I still want Bao'er to stay at home for a few more years!"

"So, do you think it's better to arrange a marriage for her or to let her enter the palace?" Xu Mingzhe asked speechlessly.

"How about I take Baoer to the military camp?" Liu Donglai suddenly had an idea.

Xu Mingli: …

Xu Mingzhe: …

"What are you thinking! There are only men in the military camp. Don't you care about Baoer's reputation?" Xu Mingzhe was almost laughing because of him.

"That's better than sending her to the palace!" Liu Donglai became extremely panicked when he thought about his precious daughter being sent to such a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones.

"You...it would be better to let Baoer get engaged!"

Xu Mingli looked at his elder brother and brother-in-law and couldn't help feeling helpless.

"Brother, brother-in-law, you guys are thinking too simply. If that guy really has that idea, let alone going to the military camp, even getting engaged won't do much."

When an emperor wants a woman, it really shouldn't be that simple, unless...

"Yes!" Xu Mingli's eyes lit up.

"What is it!" Xu Mingzhe and the other man looked at him.

"I think your method is feasible, but there is a prerequisite. Unless the person's identity can prevent that person from having any ideas." Xu Mingli said.

"Then don't we still have to get engaged?" Liu Donglai was not very happy.

"Brother-in-law, it's just an engagement, not a marriage right away, what are you worried about! Baoer is so young, and she is not a child bride, who would marry such a young girl?" Xu Mingli smiled helplessly.

Liu Donglai finally reacted after hearing this, "Yeah, look at my brain! Don't I have the final say on when to get married?"

"But it may be difficult to find the right person!" Xu Mingzhe said worriedly.

"It's not that it's hard to find one, I just don't know if the other party is willing!" Xu Mingli glanced at Liu Donglai.

Liu Donglai was puzzled, and Xu Mingzhe was also puzzled, "Do you have a candidate?"

Xu Mingli nodded, "What do you think of the young master?"

"Which young master?" Liu Donglai didn't react.

Xu Mingzhe's eyes lit up, "Yes! If we were to say which family is the most important nowadays, it would be the Duke of Zhenguo, followed by the old Taifu and the old Xiangye's family."

Xu Mingli said, "But I am more optimistic about Young Master Mu. The Zhenguo Mansion is the same as our family. The family precept is that if a man is not childless by the age of 40, he cannot take a concubine. If Bao'er can really marry him, we can feel more at ease."

Liu Donglai finally reacted, "What, Major General? But, but he is already fifteen. Baoer wants to marry him? Isn't he too old?"

Xu Mingzhe couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, "You are more than six years older than me!"

Liu Donglai scratched his head awkwardly and didn't want to bring it up again, but then he said, "But I heard from other soldiers that the general's wife is planning to arrange a blind date for the major general."

The Xu brothers looked at each other, and Xu Mingli said:

"Then it will depend on you to go and test the young master's words tomorrow. In the past, when the Duke's Mansion was still the Marquis' Mansion, more than one blind date banquet was held, but they were all ruined by the young master. It is said that many women left crying every time, and there are even rumors that the young master has a homosexual tendency."

Liu Donglai blinked: "What? Then...then why did you let Baoer get engaged to him? Wouldn't that harm Baoer?"

Xu Mingli held his forehead with his hand. He found that his brother-in-law's IQ dropped sharply whenever he was at home.

"Brother-in-law, Mingli means that you should go and test the waters! Baoer has a good relationship with him. If it is true as the rumor says, he will definitely not hide it from you. If not, you can also test his intentions. Even if it doesn't work out later, just helping him out is fine!"

Seeing that Liu Donglai wanted to say something again, Xu Mingzhe said, "Even if it doesn't work out, he and Bao'er won't have to worry about marriage in the future. After all, your status is there. Even if you marry someone of a lower status in the end, it's better than entering the palace, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Donglai lowered his head in thought.

After a moment, Liu Donglai nodded and said that he would go to find out the major general's intention tomorrow.
