Chapter 2 Engagement
After dinner, Liu Tianxu hurried to the hall. At this time, in the main hall of the Liu family, Liu Chongru, the old man Liu, was sitting in the main seat, squinted his eyes and savoring the fragrant tea. Listening to the information from the Liu family guard in front of him, there were two people sitting on the left in the hall, in addition to Liu Chongru, one of them was almost middle-aged, with a white face and no beard, and a low figure, but it made people look like a mountain. This person was Liu Xunxiang's uncle, the number one real power figure except the old man of the Liu family in the Liu Mansion, Liu Tiandong.
Next to Liu Tiandong was a 16 or 7-year-old boy with an honest and honest face. But the Liu family knew in their hearts that the boy was not as honest as he seemed. This boy was Liu Tiandong's only son, Liu Long, known as the Qilin son of the Liu family.
The father and son looked at the guard kneeling in the hall with leisurely expressions, with an inexplicable light flashing in their eyes.
"Report to the head of the family, the eldest master, the eldest young master, the younger one has learned that Su Luo's daughter Su Xuling was recommended to the National Church for practice a month ago. The sage of the National Church has come down and approved Su Xuling to enter the National Church for practice. He can also bring a personal accompanying him. He will set off soon. This matter is absolutely true. Su Luo has already made arrangements. He heard that Qinghe City will also send a team of moats to pick him up."
"Yeah, go back." Liu Tiandong waved his hand, feeling particularly good.
"Hahahaha, God is really helping my son, Dad, let's prepare a gift and set off for the Su Mansion. No matter what, we must win over this personal place. At that time, as long as Long'er enters the National Church, he will naturally soar into the sky. In the future, he will definitely become a great monk who is famous in the Song Dynasty and shines the lintel." After the guard retreated, Liu Tiandong stood up and said to Liu Chongru, and became more and more excited.
Liu Chongru seemed to have not heard it, playing with the teacup in her hand. Seeing this, Liu Tiandong frowned, then turned his head and used a color to Liu Long sitting beside him. Liu Long understood it instantly.
"Grandpa, Dad, I, Liu Long, is a seven-foot man, how can I be a slave to a girl? Without this slave title, I can't step on the top of the Taoist throne to protect my Liu family for generations? And Dad, you think there will be so many boneless people who will rob this slave quota. Even if my Liu family compensates them all, I may not be able to see the sound." After that, Liu Long looked at Liu Chongru, his eyes firmly: "Grandpa has done enough for his grandson, and his grandson has always been unable to repay him. I beg my grandson not to fight for the name of this slave for his grandson."
Liu Chongru slowly put down the teacup, and his old eyes flashed with appreciation: "Tiandong, although Long'er is young, he can see more clearly than you. How can this kind of follower be so easy to get?"
Liu Tiandong immediately smiled and said, "What my father said is that Long'er has been smarter than the child in the clan since he was a child. I, the father, sighed that I was not as good as my father. With such a son, what else can my husband ask for?"
Liu Chongru stood up and smiled with satisfaction, "Haha, Long'er must not underestimate the name of this slave. The things it contains cannot be given by any family in the Song Dynasty. Moreover, the little girl Xu Ling is also what I have seen since I was a child. She is a beauty. If Longer can get along with him for a long time, wouldn't it be close to the water and kill two birds with one stone?"
Liu Tiandong was stunned, and then his eyes were shining. Jiang was still so hot. Why didn’t he expect this? No wonder Su Xuling is only about ten years old this year. Who would consider the marriage step: "Dad, you think carefully. If Longer can marry him, he will get twice the result with half the effort. However, the daughter of the Su family will be a disciple of the National Church. How could Su Luo like my Liu family?"
When Liu Long heard Liu Chongru say he wanted to pursue Wu Ling himself, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. Su Wu Ling himself had seen him. Although he was a little younger, his appearance was so cute. When he grew up, he should be more state-owned. With his grandfather's family, he would not worry about not being able to reach the top of Taoism.
Just as the three of them were worried about how to compete for the quota, footsteps came from outside the hall, and then a cheerful voice came in.
"Dad, I have to tell you if I want to."
I saw Liu Tianxu rush into the hall, not caring about greeting his elder brother Liu Tiandong.
Liu Chongru frowned and said unhappily: "If you have anything to say, your elder brother and I have important things to do now."
After saying that, he waved his hand to let Liu Tianxu retreat.
"Dad, what I want to say is very important. The Su family may decide to give Xiang'er the quota of intimate place." Seeing this, Liu Tianxu didn't care about the other people in the hall, and hurriedly said to Liu Chongru.
"What!" Liu Chongru and Liu Tiandong and his son looked back at Liu Tianxu with a look of surprise.
"Liu Tianxu, please tell me clearly what's going on." Liu Tiandong asked in surprise when he reacted.
Liu Chongru also became interested, picked up the teacup in his seat and asked, "Youngest, tell me, what's going on?"
Immediately, Liu Tiandong told the whole thing one by one. The more he heard the back, the more he looked happy, and when he heard Su Xunling took the initiative to bring Liu Xunxiang, Liu Tiandong smiled even more, and Liu Long's hands trembled slightly because of excitement.
After hearing what Liu Tianxu said, Liu Chongru took a deep breath and asked with a smile: "Younger, do you think this is OK? Xiang'er can't practice. Even if she goes, it will not help the future of the Liu family. Why not let Xianger give the quota to Longer."
With Liu Chongru's words, Liu Tiandong smiled even more. It was really a way out. In this way, this quota was set at the Liu family. Liu Xunxiang is a mortal who cannot cultivate immortals, so this quota cannot be controlled by you, Liu Tianxu.
Liu Tianxu hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head.
"Why are the third uncle so obsessed? Long'er and his cousin are of the same clan and origin. If Long'er can climb the path of immortality and become an immortal, then his cousin will be the head of the Liu family. My Liu family will also become a prosperous family in Song State by then, and it will last for thousands of years." Seeing this, Liu Long hurriedly bowed his hand.
Liu Tianxu looked at his nephew for his later life and smiled and said, "When will you, a junior, have the position of you, the junior, speak in the Liu family, and dare to discuss the position of the head of the family. Who will give you the courage?"
Liu Long's face suddenly turned red, but he didn't know how to refute it, and he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
Liu Tiandong said angrily: "Is it not right for what Long'er said in my family? Long'er has the gift of immortal cultivation, which is a gift from God. As members of the Liu family, we should sacrifice our ego and think about the family. Could it be that some people think that they will hide far away when they sacrifice. After my Liu family becomes famous in the Song Dynasty, will they enjoy their blessings?"
"Brother, you" Liu Tianxu said angrily.
Liu Chongru slapped the table and said, "Enough, this matter is settled. Let Long'er accompany the girl from the Su family at that time. As for Xiang'er, the family will give him satisfactory compensation."
Liu Tianxu looked at the three of them, calmed down his breathing, and said word by word: "I will never agree with this matter. Dad, you'd better not force me."
After saying that, he walked out of the hall without looking back.
Liu Long looked at Liu Tianxu's departure back, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.
"I will let you know that the Liu family has no choice but to decide. Let me go to the Su family and get engaged." Liu Chongru shook his hands behind him and stepped out of the main hall with great strides. Liu Tiandong and his son looked at each other and followed him out quickly.
"Have you heard that? The head of the family went to get engaged to the Su family for the eldest son."
There was no secret in the family. Even if a young lady from the side accidentally touched her, she could spread throughout the mansion in an instant. Soon, the servants of the mansion knew the news and began to whisper.
"The master is so lucky. He gave birth to an immortal baby. I heard that the head of the family went to tell the eldest master that he had a kiss."
"Will our eldest young master be the son-in-law of Yuetian Town from now on?"
"What kind of engagement is to propose marriage."
"You know, I'll tell you, one is to propose marriage, and the other is that our young master and the young lady are going to the National Church Academy. Do you know? Old Emperor Song is the dean himself, and from now on, our young master will be the disciple of Emperor Song."
"My God, that's Emperor Song."
One by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one, and soon, the entire Liu family, including the townsmen around the Liu family, knew that the eldest son of the Liu family was going to become the disciple of Emperor Song and the son-in-law of Yuetian Town.
The Liu family's side departments also visited Liu Tiandong's yard with generous gifts. In the group of three or five, everyone looked at Mrs. Liu's smile and looked different from each other, some envy, some jealousy, and some hypocrisy.
But Mrs. Liu didn't care at all. As long as her son entered the National Church and married Su Xuling, these distant relatives would have to swallow their stomachs even if they were furious and would have to swallow with a smile on their faces. When she thought of this, Mrs. Liu was even happier.
On this day, I heard that Mrs. Liu, who has always been known for her stinginess, rewarded a lot of money to her servants.
A burst of laughter came from the main hall of the Su Mansion. Su Luo sat in the main seat and looked at Liu Chongru. Naturally, he knew that Liu Chongru brought Chong to Su Mansion at this time. In just a few days, the doorbar of the Su Mansion was almost flattened by people who came to visit.
Su Luo and Liu Chongru are both scheming and scheming. They were both busy and chatting for a long time, but they didn't get to the point. Liu Tiandong, who was standing aside, wanted to interrupt several times, but they were stared back by Liu Chongru. Liu Long sat upright, even drinking tea was more particular than usual. If ordinary people don't know, they would think they were the disciples of a great scholar in the Song Dynasty, but those eyes were always looking around secretly, as if they were looking for something.
"Who is the niece looking for?" A voice sounded in Liu Long's ear. Liu Long was shocked like a child who had done something wrong and was caught. His hands holding the teacup also shook. Tea splashed on the gray cloth robe, and red glow rose on his face.
Liu Tiandong turned his head and saw Liu Long's appearance. He turned his eyes and said, "Look at your unpromising look. You can't sit still after sitting for a while. If you don't get out, you're embarrassed." Then he turned to Su Luo and said, "You can't sit still by nature. You can't sit still at home for a moment. I hope Lord Su will forgive me."
"It's okay, it's okay, a child, it's normal to have a little off-the-sex personality. The same is true for my girl, who never falls into the house all day long."
Looking at Liu Long's hasty and panicked back, Su Luo's eyes were filled with a hint of playfulness and said happily.
Liu Chongru continued: "Brother Su, you and my family have been in contact for many years. My Liu family has the status today in Yuetian Town. It all depends on your care, so I will not go around the corner. Today, I have something to discuss with you."
"Oh? I'm welcome, brother. You and I don't have to be so polite. What's the matter but it's okay." Su Luo said in surprise.
"Old fox." Liu Tiandong cursed in his heart. He didn't believe that Su Luo would not know why he came here for this matter.
Liu Chongru pondered for a while and said slowly: "Brother Su should also know that my Liu family is lucky enough to finally have a junior who can cultivate immortality. But I am incompetent. The Liu family has no ability to teach Long'er at all. Fortunately, the senior of my Liu family heard that Long'er has the resources to cultivate immortality, so he sent someone to send a letter. After a while, he will come to pick up Long'er and take Long'er as his disciple. When Long'er was born, he is full of auspicious light. Brother Su, you have seen it with your own eyes, so today I am shameless and want to find a name for Long'er."
Liu Chongru had an elder brother who was given the gift of God and had the qualifications to cultivate immortals. Later, he was valued by an immortal elder as a disciple. Unfortunately, he encountered an accident while doing things for his master. The immortal elder who suffered a loss was quite kind and felt that he was owed something to his disciple. So he took some care of Liu Chongru later, and Su Luo also knew about this.
Su Luo smiled and said, "Brother Liu, everyone can see the qualifications of this nephew Liu Long. Now that he can get the guidance of that senior, he will definitely be among the people in the future. Unfortunately, Su is limited in ability and cannot do his best. He feels deeply ashamed. As for the status that Brother Liu mentioned, what do you say?"
"Mr. Su, Ling Ai and my Long'er have been childhood sweethearts since childhood. Both of them are promising sons of heaven. Today, I want to discuss with Lord Su and make a marriage for them. Although the son is not able to enter a first-class immortal sect like the National Church, he has become the disciple of that senior. I think this identity is not a shame for Ling Ai. In addition, our marriage will bring to you and my family, Lord Su will not be unclear." Liu Tianlong said with a hint of pride. He believed that Su Luo knew who the senior he was talking about was.
Su Luo was silent. He knew very well who the senior whom the Liu family had flattered was. In the eyes of that senior, the title of the National Church was indeed nothing, and the Su family's situation is not very optimistic now. He had to find a big tree to lean on. From this perspective, the one behind the Liu family was just right. However, when did the Liu family contact that senior immortal? Why did he not hear any news?
"Brother Liu, my little girl is naughty, I'm afraid she's messing with the rules of the Liu family. In addition, I need to discuss this with my little girl. I wonder if you can give it a little time?" Su Luo said cautiously, and he needed time to confirm the authenticity of the matter.
Liu Tiandong was confused. He didn't know when the senior had come to the letter. Could it be that his father was worried that he would talk too much, so he kept it hidden from him. Thinking of this, Liu Tiandong's back was unconsciously upright than before.
Liu Chongru nodded leisurely: "It's okay, this matter is important, so it will naturally take some time to consider it, but it's better to make a decision before the two children leave."
