The terrifying aura of Old Marquis Shen disappeared in an instant.
He coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment: "Ahem, Beiyue's marriage?"
"No, no, Beiyue is not engaged yet..."
Only then did Old Marquis Shen finally figure it out.
It turns out that when Minister Hu said that Beiyue was a handsome man and then that Beiyue was a high-ranking official, it turned out that he was not deliberately sarcasm, but was sincerely praising him?
This way of praising is really... hard to describe...
When Minister Hu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he was no longer afraid: "I have a daughter at home, with a gentle temperament, kind and virtuous, and proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting..."
In fact, Shuang'er is not good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, or painting. As for a gentle temperament, it has nothing to do with Shuang'er...
But we should always say something positive, right?
Besides, who is bragging and is always telling the truth?
Otherwise, all the noble ladies in the capital are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but his daughter Shuang'er is not. What if he tells others that the Shen family will look down on him?
As for if they were discovered after they got married...
We’ll talk about it when the time comes!
Let's take it one step at a time and help my daughter settle down with Shen Beiyue first. When the truth comes out, there will always be a way.
Minister Hu looked at Old Marquis Shen expectantly, "Look, the two children are of the right age. Why don't we arrange a marriage between our two families? Wouldn't that be a wonderful thing?"
Old Lord Shen subconsciously wanted to agree without hesitation.
He had once seen the daughter of the Hu family from afar at a royal banquet. She was a pretty and clever little girl.
But when the words came to his lips, he remembered what his grandson had said to him on the way here: his grandson had no plans to get married at the moment.
If I rashly decide to marry him, I'm afraid it will be bad. But if I just refuse, Lord Shen will not be willing to do so.
Putting aside Minister Hu's cold personality, this in-law is still a good match. At least the Hu family didn't despise his Beiyue because her appearance was ruined and her career was not going well...
Although Nanxing had told him privately that the old doctor in the Nether Valley had great medical skills and might be able to cure Beiyue's face, he was not in a position to bring up this uncertain matter.
So Lord Shen thought for a moment and said, "I understand what Minister Hu meant, but I must first ask the children's own opinions on their marriages."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Minister Hu nodded repeatedly. "You are indeed very thoughtful, Lord Shen. I will also go back and ask my daughter what she thinks."
Minister Hu naturally didn't need to ask, his daughter's meaning was obvious. If she couldn't marry Shen Beiyue in this life, she would probably never be happy again.
Thinking of this, Minister Hu felt sad.
The daughter who had been raised in the palm of his hand by himself, his wife, and his eldest son was actually obsessed with an outsider and had lost her appetite...
But the man said he would go back and ask the child's opinion. He couldn't just say that he didn't need to ask, his daughter just liked Beiyue so much that he couldn't help it...
That's too cheap, Minister Hu can't do it.
Therefore, Minister Hu and Lord Shen agreed to go home and ask their two children what they thought, and then inform each other later whether it would work out.
Minister Hu left happily.
There's something interesting about this!
According to what old Marquis Shen said, Shen Beiyue has no looks and no career prospects. Is there anyone in the capital who can compete with his daughter?
Looking at Minister Hu leaving with brisk steps, Old Marquis Shen widened his eyes.
Why did Minister Hu just leave like that? Didn't he say he was coming to see His Majesty? His Majesty hasn't seen him yet...
Minister Hu didn't care about these things. He had come here specially because he heard that Marquis Shen was bringing his grandson to the palace today.
Looking for His Majesty is just a pretext. How can such a small matter be worth reporting to His Majesty?
Minister Hu rode his horse at full speed back to his residence to report his achievement to his wife.
"Madam, I have already made an agreement with Lord Shen. He will give us an answer after he goes back and asks Beiyue about his opinion."
"I think it shouldn't be a big problem, but..."
Minister Hu was still a little hesitant: "Our daughter has always liked beautiful things since she was young, but Shen Beiyue's face is half disfigured..."
Mrs. Hu was feeling happy, but when she heard her husband say this, she glared at him unhappily: "What's the big deal? Even though you're so ugly, I don't dislike you!"
Minister Hu: ???
