Chapter 197
After talking all night, Chu Xun's vision of Ning Ze was greatly improved.
Of course, there are also systematic influences.
As the two discussed, their favorability gradually increased.
Meiren Chu was quite worried. After all, she knew her father's temper best. What if she heard negative rumors about Ning Ze outside and came to settle the score with him? For the stubborn father, there is nothing impossible. Moreover, she didn't return all night, so it's not a big mistake for the daughter to think too much.
Therefore, early in the morning, Meiren Chu came to the princess's mansion to inquire about the situation.
Liu Yuanxiang and Mi Yan got up early and found that her husband and Chu Xun were still in the study, and Liang Wu was guarding the door and preventing him from entering. She was also worried. Everyone knew that Chu Xun had a bad temper and was particularly stubborn and rigid. He came to Ning Ze to find him, and what did he say? Especially after traveling outside and hiding his identity for a long time.
When Beauty Chu came over, three worried women gathered together and found that their thoughts were similar, so they came to the courtyard outside the study room to wait.
Finally, the study door opened and Ning Ze respectfully sent Chu Xun out.
From the face, we can see that at least Chu Xun didn't seem to be angry, and his eyes looked at Ning Ze were different from the beginning, and he had a little praise.
"Mr. Chu, I have benefited a lot from listening to your words!" When he came to the corridor, Ning Ze bowed and said, "I hope I will be lucky enough to listen to the teachings again."
"Ning Zhonglang, don't be polite!" Chu Xun nodded and said, "Through this conversation, I found that there was indeed some misunderstanding before. Ning Zhonglang has several thought-provoking views. I just hope that everything you said is not adulterated!"
"Don't worry, every sentence I said below is true, and heaven and earth can be seen!"
The two of them walked out of the yard and found three women sitting aside waiting.
Seeing them, Liu Yuanxiang, Mi Yan and Meimei Chu stood up at the same time and left the stone table, quickly approaching them.
"Husband!!" Liu Yuanxiang and Mi Yan came to Ning Ze with a worried look on their faces.
"Father!" The beauty Chu was also worried about Ning Ze, but she still bowed to Chu Xun first.
"Why are you here?" Chu Xun asked.
"The father has not returned all night, and the daughter is worried." Meiren Chu replied well.
"Well~" Chu Xun touched his beard and nodded with relief. He turned his head to Ning Ze, Liu Yuanxiang and Mi Yan bowed to salute, "I say goodbye!"
Seeing that he urged the beauty Chu to leave together, Ning Ze bowed to see him off. Liu Yuanxiang quickly pulled her husband's sleeve and whispered: "Mr. Chu seems to be in a good mood. Although he doesn't know what you two had talked last night, why don't you take this opportunity to propose marriage to him? Maybe Mr. Chu can agree at this time?"
Mi Yan also nodded repeatedly from beside her.
Ning Zexin said where to follow?
He didn't speak, but Chu Xun heard Liu Yuanxiang's words. Although he was old, his ears were very good. So he stopped and turned around and said, "Although Ning Zhonglang has greatly improved my view, my precious daughter has to find a good destination. How can she be Ning Zhonglang's partial wife? Don't mention this matter, I will never agree!"
"Father!" When Meiren Chu heard Liu Yuanxiang's words, she felt a little embarrassed, but when her father refused decisively, she felt lost and depressed.
Ning Ze was rejected before he could speak. In fact, he was quite depressed. What is this?
Liu Yuanxiang stepped forward and said to Chu Xun with a smile: "Duke Chu, my husband, the prince of the Tang and Dacheng Kingdom, isn't it a good place to belong? What's wrong with a partial wife? When Mi Yan got married, I treated her like a sister, and there was no question of her status. If the Lord Chu entered the door, I would treat her the same way. Could it be that being a sister to me and humiliating Lord Chu?"
Chu Xun bowed and said, "I don't have this intention! It's just that there are many young talents in the world, and I don't want my little girl to compete for favor with the princess. Don't mention this matter again!"
"This is wrong!" Liu Yuanxiang walked to the beautiful Chu, held her hand and said with a smile, "I have no jealousy in my palace, and there is no saying that Chu Lord Ji will compete for favor when she gets married. Even, I will favor her more than my husband, so Mr. Chu can rest assured! I really like Mr. Chu, and I hope she can enter the princess's house and be a sister with me. Although marriage is the order of my parents and the words of the matchmaker, after all, the husband and Mr. Chu are also in love with each other. If Mr. Chu marry Mr. Chu, she will definitely not be happy and happy in this life. Does Mr. Chu hope that his pearl in his palm will be spent in sorrow in the next life?"
Chu Xun frowned and looked at his daughter. Beauty Chu did not dare to look directly at her father, lowered her head and did not speak.
"Husband, say something!" Mi Yan gently poked Ning Ze's back.
Ning Zexin said what this is called? Others’ wives are always on guard against their husbands bringing people at home, and their own family is completely reversed.
However, Liu Yuanxiang is telling the truth. Her pampering for Mi Yan is even more exaggerated than Ning Ze. Ning Ze wants to protest with her, why do you always steal your wife from her? I'm afraid this experience is rare in the world?
Looking up, Meiren Chu looked up and saw that the expectant eyes of Meiren Chu had already met the conditions. Just when they took this step, Meiren Chu naturally hoped that Ning Ze could persuade his father to agree.
Especially after he married Liu Yuanxiang and Mi Yan, Meiren Chu felt a little anxious.
Facing the eyes of Chu Meiren, Ning Ze took a deep breath. Although he had to marry three wives in a row in a few months, he would definitely regard himself as a lustful person outside, but he really needed Chu Meiren to help him, otherwise the pressure would be too great. Moreover, with Chu Xun's temper, it is really possible to marry Chu Meiren to another place if he has to fight for it.
Thinking of this, he immediately bowed to the end: "Mr. Chu, as the princess said, has been with the beauty over time, and gradually fell in love. Although he knew that he was not the one whom Chu wanted, he still hoped to marry a beauty."
Seeing Ning Ze ask his father in person for marriage, a smile finally appeared on the lost face of Mei Ren Chu, and at the same time, she was a little shy and looked at her father secretly.
Chu Xun took all his daughter's small movements and thought to himself that Ning Ze did not have such great charm? Not only did the princess willingly marry her, but she could also help her propose to ask for a marriage and ask Ning Ze for a side room. Her baby daughter's eyes were obvious, so she almost nodded directly bypassed herself.
He was not very happy to let his daughter marry Ning Ze, after all, his daughter, even princes and nobles, would be willing to marry her as a wife. He was not boasting, but his title as a famous scholar and the identity of an old minister of the previous dynasty. In the past, many people came to ask for marriage and were rejected by his daughter because she was still young.
The problem is that she is not happy, but her daughter is completely the same. Moreover, Princess Yuanxi, Liu Yuanxiang, personally proposed to her husband for her, reflecting her magnanimity. If she refuses directly at this time, she will not only be disrespectful to the princess, but will also cause controversy among the people when it is spread. No matter what, Princess Yuanxi is also a royal family, and is also the actual ruler of the three states of Jin, Han and Cheng. As an old minister of the previous dynasty of Dacheng, she cannot bear the hat of contempt for the royal family.
But how can we avoid this hat, and then politely refuse this request, and let our daughter go home with her obediently?
After thinking about it, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed, so he said, "The little girl is indeed at the age of marriage. But in my opinion, there are very few men in the world who deserve her! For the happiness of the little girl in life, you must carefully choose and not be neglected. Even an excellent man like Ning Zhonglang, it may not be easy to choose a son-in-law through my husband's request. I am eager to love my daughter, and I hope to forgive me! Ning Zhonglang wants to marry a little girl, but I want the best and smartest man in the whole city, because only such a person can be worthy of her. If Ning Zhonglang can prove this, it is not impossible to make me nod!"
"Father~" Chu Meiren knew that her father deliberately wanted to make things difficult for Ning Ze and gave up his thoughts, but she was still unhappy to marry him.
Chu Xun ignored his daughter and looked directly at Ning Ze.
Before Ning Ze could speak, Liu Yuanxiang answered for him: "My husband is naturally the best and smartest man in Dacheng!"
"Since that's the case," Chu Xun said, "Nothing should be difficult for Ning Zhonglang. I have three problems. As long as Ning Zhonglang can pass, it can prove this!"
"Oh? As long as my husband passes the three difficult questions of Chu Gong, he can marry the Lord Chu?" Liu Yuanxiang asked, "What are the three difficult questions? But it doesn't matter!"
"Okay! This is the first one..." Chu Xun lowered his head and thought hard, then said, "Now it is a hot summer day. There is a saying that summer insects cannot talk about ice. Everyone knows that the cold winter frost comes. Maybe Ning Zhonglang will get ice in this summer?"
Hearing this, Meiren Chu's face changed instantly: "Father, you are obviously trying to make things difficult for you!"
Ning Ze also heard that Chu Xun had something in his words. Xia Chong couldn't speak to Bing, even if it was useless to say that it was said to you, don't want Ning Ze to marry his daughter anyway. It seems completely impossible for him to get Bing in Xia Ji, and it also means that it is impossible between Ning Ze and Chu Meiren!
And without waiting for Ning Ze to speak, Chu Xun continued: "I heard that Ning Zhonglang knew that he could use magic, so he was forbidden to use magic. I want to choose the best and smartest son-in-law in the world, not a mage!"
"Duke Chu was deliberately making a dilemma," said Liu Yuanxiang. "Even if your husband knows magic, he may not necessarily get ice. You forbid him from using magic, and it is obvious that he does not want to marry Master Chu to his husband. Even if the smartest person in Dacheng is here, he will definitely not be able to do it!"
"This is one of my husband's requirements for choosing a son-in-law. If Ning Zhonglang cannot do it, it is not that I am unwilling to do it, but that Zhonglang cannot meet the requirements!" Chu Xun replied indifferently.
"If Duke Chu uses this problem to recruit a son-in-law, I believe the Lord Chu will be lonely for life!" Liu Yuanxiang said unhappily.
Chu Xun touched his beard and smiled and refused to speak.
"This old man is really rude!" Mi Yan was a little angry and stepped forward and said, "No matter whether he agrees or not, Chu Zhuji is happy anyway, so he just snatched it and cooked the rice into a cooked rice..."
"What's the mess?" Ning Ze was so amused and crying. Both wives were weird, and they were speechless. He reached out to hold Mi Yan, thought for a while, bowed to Chu Xun, "It's not allowed to use spells in summer. This question is really difficult! But you can try it."
Even if he is allowed to use spells, he will not! And the system does not seem to have ice-making function.
However, he really knows how to make ice, thanks to his former laboratory teacher.
