The clouds are opening and the moon is getting brighter

As soon as Li Qingyun returned to the Duke's Mansion, he went to Xiaoxuan Pavilion.

The Duke's wife was having dinner in the house, when the servant girl outside came in to send a message: "Ma'am, the third son is here."

Mrs. Guo was a little surprised.Usually at this hour, Li Qingyun would stay in the study.Why did you come to her place today?

"What are you doing here?" As soon as Li Qingyun came in, the Duke's wife asked him straight to the point.She picked up the teacup presented by Chunhua and drank it slowly.

Li Qingyun sat on a pine chair beside her, and said lightly, "I came here today because I want my mother to find a matchmaker for me to propose marriage."

Mrs. Guo just drank the tea in her mouth and almost spit it out. She quickly put down the teacup and looked at him in surprise: "I, did I hear you right? You said you want me to find a matchmaker to propose marriage for you?"

Li Qingyun said with usual expression: "Yes."

Mrs. Guogong stared at him for a long time before she said happily: "God opened my eyes, my third child has figured it out and is ready to get married. Tell mother, which girl do you like?"

Li Qingyun replied: "A girl from the Su family."

The Duke's wife was all smiles, and she was so happy: "But Su Biyun, the daughter of the official Su Shangshu? She is a good girl, good-looking and good-natured, and it would be nice to be our Li family's daughter-in-law. There is no need for a matchmaker." Now, your mother, I will personally come to Su's house tomorrow to talk about this marriage for you." She was about to get up as she said this, and called Mother Liu to bring the list of guests for the banquets held at the house in previous years.

Li Qingyun suddenly said: "Mother, you have misunderstood. I am not interested in the daughter of Su Shangshu from the Ministry of Officials, but the daughter of Prime Minister Su, Su Jinyan from the eldest princess's mansion."

Mrs. Duke's smile froze, for fear that she had heard it wrong: "You said, but that girl Lingyue?"

Li Qingyun answered her lightly: "Yes."

The smile on the face of Mrs. Guo suddenly disappeared.

She said calmly: "You know that Changyan likes her, if you marry her back, won't the two of you brothers turn against each other in the future?"

Li Qingyun explained: "Mother, don't worry, I will never break my face with Zhang Yan because of this matter, and Chang Yan is not a cruel and unreasonable person. As long as I make this matter clear to him, he will definitely Figured it out."

Even if he said so, Mrs. Guo still disapproved of this marriage: "Between brothers and sisters, the most fearful thing is the estrangement. If you and Changyan just broke up because of a mere woman, what should you do?" ? The future of our Li family depends on you two brothers, if you two brothers are not in harmony, how can our Li family carry forward and shine on the lintel?"

"I will find a good marriage for Changyan to make up for him, but Lingyue, I must marry." Although Li Qingyun's voice was not serious, it carried a tone of disapproval.

"You..." Seeing that he did not listen to her persuasion and insisted on going his own way, Mrs. Guo was a little annoyed for a while.She was right at the beginning, her son really fell in love with that girl Lingyue.At the beginning, he refused to admit it life and death, but now that she has transformed into a daughter of the Xiangfu, he can't hold back his anxiety.

Li Qingyun continued to persuade: "Mother, I will talk to him over there, please rest assured. I have not been married for all these years, and I finally fell in love with such a person. Don't you just have the heart to watch me live forever? Are you unmarried?"

The Duke's wife was shocked when she heard this.She has indeed been looking forward to her son's wedding for many years. Over the years, she has repeatedly said that she would introduce him to someone, but he has repeatedly refused.It's rare for him to fancy a girl. If she refuses again, I'm afraid he really won't marry for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Guo hesitated.

Li Qingyun said again: "I heard that Chen Bijun, the youngest daughter of Mr. Chen Ge, is a well-known talented woman in the capital. Besides, the Chen family is also a family of scholars, and Mr. Chen Ge is even more honest and upright. I heard that Mr. Chen Ge has intentions in recent days To choose a husband-in-law for his daughter, why don't you let me go to the emperor and let him make the decision to betroth Chen Bijun to Changyan. I wonder if mother is satisfied with this marriage?"

Mrs. Guo was lost in thought.She has heard about Chen Bijun, a talented girl from the capital, and she is indeed a good candidate for a future daughter-in-law.

She raised her eyes to look at Li Qingyun, and saw that he had a calm demeanor, as if he was determined to win.If it is true as he said, then the marriage of her two sons will be settled, and she will be able to sit back and relax from now on.

Mrs. Duke thought over and over again, and finally she let go and said: "Then do as you said. I will come to the door in person tomorrow and go to the eldest princess's mansion."

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Li Qingyun got up and said goodbye: "Then I will trouble my mother."

After seeing off Li Qingyun, Mrs. Guo gradually became worried again.She sighed leisurely.

Mother Liu came over with mouthwash, saw her frowning, and asked concerned: "Madam, what's the matter? The third son finally figured it out, and is ready to start a family. This is a good thing. You should be happy."

Mrs. Guogong sighed again: "It is indeed a good thing that Qingyun is getting married, but what should I say about Changyan? I can see how much Changyan likes that girl Lingyue."

"Ma'am, why worry. Madam doesn't know Lingyue's child's heart, but this servant can see clearly. These years, she has devoted herself to serving the third son, and the servant is watching. Every time she looks at him, that's it. The tenderness in her eyes is almost dripping water. If you say that she has no affection for the third son, the servants will not believe it." Liu mother explained to her.

Mrs. Duke was slightly surprised: "Is what you said true?"

Mother Liu saw that she was vacillating, and continued to persuade her: "How dare I lie to you. Miss Lingyue likes the third young master. If you come to propose marriage for the fourth young master, she will definitely not agree. Since she and the third young master The two love each other, so why don't Madam help them? Prime Minister Su has a high official position, and he is also the consort of the court. The power of the Su family should not be underestimated. What's more, the eldest princess has a noble status, and even the current emperor must respect him. Auntie, if our Duke's Mansion can get such a good marriage, then the career paths of the third and fourth sons will be much easier in the future."

After hearing what she said, Madam Guogong thought to herself that it was indeed very reasonable.Thinking about it this way, she didn't have much trouble in her heart.After washing up, I drew the curtains and went to sleep.

Seeing that she was fast asleep, Mother Liu quietly left Xiaoxuan Pavilion and went all the way to Qingfengyuan.

Li Qingyun was in the study when Mother Liu came in and said, "Third Young Master, the servant has already done what you ordered the servant to do. Madam, she will go to the eldest princess's mansion to propose marriage tomorrow."

Li Qingyun put down the Langhao brush in his hand, with a calm expression: "You did a good job."

.

In the Princess's Mansion, Yu Yang combed her hair and sat in front of the dressing table, while a little maid drew her eyebrows with a conch Dai in her hand.

Su Zhan just got up and saw that Yu Yang was already fully dressed and sitting in front of the dressing table, and asked her, "Why did you get up so early today?"

Seeing that he got up, Yu Yang came over to undress him: "Because of Yan'er, I didn't sleep much last night."

Su Zhan gently hugged her into his arms, and said softly, "Let Madam worry about you."

Yu Yang leaned in his arms, and sighed leisurely: "It's not that I'm unreasonable, it's just that someone's mother sees her daughter having a private meeting with other men and doesn't have any grudges. If Li Qingyun follows the rules Proposing marriage to our family, I would definitely promise Yan'er to him, but he did such a thing."

Su Zhan chuckled and said, "Young people, it's common for them to be unable to restrain themselves for a while. Don't forget, when we were young, we often had private meetings in temples."

Yu Yang blushed, and gave him a light hammer: "How can it be the same?"

Seeing that she was shy, Su Zhan smiled brighter and brighter: "Why is it different? Didn't you also tell your mother that I will not marry you in this life."

Yu Yang leaned in his arms, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what he said was somewhat reasonable.When the two of them were young, they also secretly met behind other people's backs, so they kept going back and forth, and they were inseparable from then on.As for men, that's the way it is anyway, they always have to be so affectionate a few times when they meet each other.Thinking about it this way, she felt less worried.

Su Zhan saw that her face was loose, and continued to persuade her: "Since our Yan'er likes Li Qingyun, why don't you give her a favor. Yan'er has been through such hardships for the past few years, and she finally begged us for such a favor. If we don't agree to her, it's something wrong for us as parents."

Yu Yang thought for a long time, and finally let go: "Okay, then I'll go and see Yan'er later."

After Su Zhan went to court, Yu Yang went to Youxiang Pavilion.

Lingyue has just woken up, but because of her injuries, she should not move too much, and she is lying on the couch to rest at the moment.

Seeing Yu Yang coming, she smiled and called, "Mother, why did you come so early?"

Yu Yang saw that her face was slightly ruddy today, and the big stone in her heart was finally let go. "Mother was thinking about your injury, so she came to see you earlier."

Lingyue smiled and comforted her: "My daughter is much better, mother, you don't have to worry too much."

Suzhi brought a round stool over, and after Yu Yang sat down, she took Lingyue's hand and said softly, "Yan'er, tell mother that you really like Li Qingyun very much?"

Seeing her asking suddenly, Lingyue said with frank eyes: "Yes mother, my daughter likes him, and I hope mother will make it happen."

Yu Yang looked at her steadfast expression, and finally sighed: "That's all, since you like her, mother shouldn't be such a villain."

It took Lingyue a while to understand what she said, and a happy smile appeared on her beautiful face: "Mother, what do you mean, you agree?"

Seeing that she was so happy, Yu Yang couldn't help laughing: "Yes."

Lingyue suddenly threw herself into her arms, and said joyfully, "Thank you, mother."

Yu Yang couldn't help but feel sad: "It's just that the marriage can be settled first, but people have to wait a few years to remarry. Mother just found you back, I don't want you to leave mother so early."

"Mother, even if my daughter is married, she will come back to see you often." Lingyue comforted her.

"Oh, it's really not a woman to stay in college."

The two were talking, when Suzhi suddenly came in and said, "Eldest princess, the wife of Duke Li's mansion has come to propose marriage."
