The samurai Xun suddenly realized at this time, and asked curiously: "Youzhou?"
"That's really not close."
"With your talent and conditions, even if you want to get married, you can't afford to travel so far, right?"
"The King of Beiping in Youzhou City, Lord Luo Sen, has some friendship with me."
"Wait back, I'll write you a letter and take it there, so I can take care of you if something happens."
Hearing this, Li Qiu scratched his head, a little dumbfounded.
"Thank you for your care, Duke Guo. It just so happens that the person I'm going to Youzhou to propose marriage this time is the granddaughter of King Beiping, the daughter of the late Duke Yue."
Hearing his words, Samurai Xun and Wu Jue suddenly raised their heads at the same time with expressions of disbelief.
"Li Qiu, you said that you are going to Youzhou this time to marry the granddaughter of King Beiping, the daughter of Duke Luo Cheng of Yue?"
"This this……"
"But getting married?"
If Li Qiu hadn't said it himself, the warrior Xun would not have believed such a thing even if he killed the warrior Xun.
What kind of identity and status does the Luo family in Youzhou have? !
How could it be possible to marry the daughter of a direct relative to a small businessman?
I'm afraid it's completely unjustifiable even if I become a married woman.
Their expressions were shocked, which was also expected by Li Qiu.
So I explained to Samurai Xun what I said to Wei Zheng and the others before.
He said that he was not a married man, but a marriage settled between his late father and Luo Cheng some years ago.
After hearing Li Qiu's words, Wu Jue's eyes sprouted a look of hope again, and a sweet smile appeared on his face that had not been emotional at all.
Such a change in her naturally cannot escape the eyes of the warrior Xun.
Knowing daughter Mo Ruofu, he naturally knew what Wu Jue was thinking, and then sighed silently in his heart.
I didn't dare to promise her to Li Qiu before, mainly because I was worried about a face problem.
But now if Li Qiu married the granddaughter of King Beiping, the daughter of the late Duke of Yue, these problems would not be a problem at all.
The Luo family in Youzhou has already married their own daughter to Li Qiu, and a concubine daughter of my samurai Xun also married Li Qiu, so what?
Moreover, if there is the Luo family in Youzhou as Li Qiu's background, the relationships and blessings left by Luo Cheng, Duke of Yue, will naturally fall on Li Qiu.
At that time, even if Li Qiu is a merchant, he will be absolutely safe in self-protection.
This is an opportunity for Wu Jue to feel happy.
After hearing this incident, Warrior Xun was extremely shocked in his heart, but on the surface he still pretended to be calm and calm while chatting with Li Qiu.
"I heard that besides a daughter, the Duke of Yue also has a posthumous son named Luo Tong, who has extraordinary martial arts skills and looks like his father?"
Li Qiu nodded, "I heard it's the same, kid."
"However, I have never been to Youzhou, and I don't know the specifics."
Then, after chatting for a few words, Li Qiu withdrew.
At this time, the warrior Xun lowered his voice and looked at his daughter.
"Wu Jue, dad understands what you think."
"However, wouldn't it be too wronged if you were asked to marry into a merchant's family?"
Wu Jue shook his head firmly, "Father, my mother married my father as a concubine."
"But you love mother and me the most."
"Aren't we all living happily together?"
"If it is a grievance to promise to Li Qiu, then marrying into the Zheng family will be the greatest ordeal in the world for my daughter."
"At that time, how long my daughter can live is probably unknown."
"For my daughter, it is a better choice to die than to marry the Zheng family."
The fortitude and stubbornness in Wu Jue's bones are deeply appreciated by the warrior Xun.
Since the daughter has said these words today, it shows that Wu Jue has not thought about this possibility in his heart.
Her words also made Samurai Xun feel both angry and distressed.
"You dead girl, if you don't piss your father off for a day, you'll be satisfied, right?"
After giving Wu Jue a hard look, Samurai Xun looked at his daughter with tears in his eyes and felt distressed.
So his words softened, "Oh, since you don't like that Zheng family so much."
"Then dad just won't agree to their marriage proposal."
"Your marriage, let's talk about it later!"
Seeing his father compromise, Wu Jue, who had just pretended to be pitiful and threatened to die, immediately turned into a sweet little padded jacket, holding his father's arm and constantly acting like a baby.
"Daddy, I know you love your daughter the most."
"This dish seems to be a bit cold, I'll call Li Qiu to warm it up."
"Father, my daughter will pour you wine..."
Chapter 47
Before leaving, as usual, Li Qiu accompanied Wu Jue to the tomato garden.
Looking at the bright red and crystal-clear cherry tomatoes in front of me.
Wu Jue took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Li Qiu, "You must remember to come back soon."
"You know, I am a daughter's family, so the choices I can make and the time left for me are really limited."
"Now I say that I am in a desperate situation, which is almost the same."
"Wu Jue, I really don't want to marry someone who doesn't like me."
"if……"
"You really married the daughter of Luo's family in Youzhou, maybe Daddy will agree to promise me to you then."
Wu Jue, a 13-year-old girl, is naturally shy about these words and things.
However, as Wu Jue said, she is now on the verge of desperation.
What she can do now is her last struggle.
Listening to her words and seeing her appearance at this time, Li Qiu's heart was touched very much.
It was at this moment that he realized that he had been completely involved in the vortex of this world.
The fetters are implicated, and they can no longer extricate themselves.
Immediately, he took a deep breath, and said to Wu Jue word by word very seriously: "Li Qiu will never dare to forget Miss Wu Jue's friendship in this lifetime."
"I don't even dare to let you down."
"I went north to Youzhou this time more to fulfill my father's will. There are some things that must be explained."
"After two months, I will come back again, and I will definitely marry the girl."
"Moreover, I won't let you suffer any grievances, and won't let the Duke have any worries."
Having said that, Li Qiu took a deep breath and looked towards the northwest sky.
"The rain is about to come, and the wind is full of the building."
"A great change has already arrived."
"In this world, there is a way to obtain titles and status faster than gentry and fame."
"That's military merit."
"My martial arts are very powerful, you know that."
Hearing Li Qiu express his feelings to himself, Wu Jue was both sweet and worried.
"Are you going to the battlefield?"
Li Qiu smiled, then stared into her eyes very seriously and said slowly: "Originally, in my life, I only planned to be a leisurely person, away from worldly disputes."
"If you have food and drink every day, you will be content if you have money to spend."
"As for everything in the world, even the rise and fall of dynasties has nothing to do with me."
"However, the most beautiful thing in this world is only for a moment. I can't bear to watch it disappear from my world little by little."
"So, I chose to grab it."
"You must wait for me to come back!"
With that said, Li Qiu took Wu Jue's hand again.
Feeling his pounding heartbeat, Wu Jue let Li Qiu hold his hand and nodded obediently.
This was the first time she felt less hesitant about her future marriage.
……
In the afternoon of that day, a guest far beyond Li Qiu's imagination came to visit unexpectedly.
It is the famous "door god", General Zuo Wuwei, Duke Yi, Qin Qiong!
After ordering Li Qiu's dishes, Qin Qiong nodded in satisfaction.
"Sure enough, as the rumors say, the food here, especially the Sirius wine, is really hard to find in the world."
Li Qiu hastily bowed and saluted, "General, you are absurd."
Qin Qiong smiled, "I heard that you are going north to Youzhou today, to the Prince's Mansion in Peking, and the Luo family to propose marriage?"
Li Qiu was surprised, "Back to the general, there is indeed such a thing."
Qin Qiong smiled, "As for how I know the news, you don't have to think too much."
"Your late father-in-law, Luo Cheng, was my aunt's cousin."
"Speaking of which, I'm also the uncle of you and that girl."
"I know that your marriage contract exists, and it's not unusual."
Hearing his words, Li Qiu was shocked and hurriedly saluted.
At this time, Qin Qiong took out a letter from his arms and put it on the table.
"Frankly speaking, I have been observing you secretly for some time."
"I am also aware of what you did in Chang'an City."
"In this letter, there are a few good words from me. When you arrive in Youzhou, hand them to the old prince for me."
"Maybe it can be of some help to you when you go north to propose marriage."
Having said that, Qin Qiong paused again and sighed.
"My brother Luo Cheng died young."
"The girl who stayed behind is also pitiful."
"I, as an uncle, am also satisfied to see her marrying you."
"When you get married and come back in the future, many people will come to help you with Luo Cheng's blessing as a brother."
"Of course, that's another story..."
For Qin Qiong's words, Li Qiu hurriedly saluted to thank him.
Before leaving, Qin Qiong brought several jars of good wine, but Qin Qiong did not refuse.
Just tell him to be careful on the road.
……
In the next few days, Li Qiu was also intensively making final preparations.
