Xu Shiqiu looked at Ye Shuo and did not want to speak, but Ye Shuo, who did not wait for his answer, would not let him go.

Ye Shuo stared at Xu Shiqiu expectantly for a while, but seeing that Third Uncle did not have any plans to speak, he said straightforwardly: ”Third Uncle, Fang'er is very good, I feel happy when I see her. Although I know I'm still young, I have decided to marry Fang'er in the future.”

Ye Shuo spoke with seriousness, and upon hearing his words, Xu Shiqiu finally could not hold it in and sighed: ”After you've said so much, this Fang'er, just whose family's young lady is she?”

Xu Shiqiu felt that as long as this Fang'er did not have a bad background and she was indeed a good girl, he would be able to persuade his elder sister to marry and bring her home.

As for Ye Shuo, after hearing Xu Shiqiu's question, he immediately laughed shyly, then looked at him and said seriously: ”Fang'er is the granddaughter of the Department of Revenue's Liu Shangshu, and I am good friends with her brother.”

Just as Ye Shuo finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu heaved a sigh of relief.

He thought this Fang'er had a bad background, but he didn't expect her to be quite good.

The little granddaughter of the Department of Revenue Liu Shangshu's house, matched up with the bastard son of the Fifth Prince, was just right.

Thinking about this, Xu Shiqiu finally calmed down and said to Ye Shuo: ”You are only fourteen years old. If you really like this lady from the Liu Family, Third Uncle will tell your mother and ask your mother to find out what the Liu Family is thinking.” After saying this, Xu Shiqiu paused for a moment before continuing, ”Your big brother isn't married yet. Even if both your families are interested, they wouldn't marry so quickly.

Although Xu Shiqiu was a man, he understood the rules of a rich family.

It wasn't that there was no one like Ye Shuo, who was engaged at the age of fourteen, but his big brother wasn't engaged yet.

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Ye Shuo immediately laughed: ”I understand this, that's why I'm thinking of telling uncle about it in private, so that you can scout mother's mouth.” After saying this, Ye Shuo hesitated for a while, but eventually decided to speak the truth: ”Fang'er and Liu Ze's mother are both juniors of their grandmother's family. It's just that their mother and their grandmother have both died many years ago.

After he said that, Ye Shuo's face suddenly became dejected, and he sighed, then continued: ”Liu Ze told me last time that he really wanted to leave home to join the army, but he was worried about his sister. His grandfather and father have both put their hearts in the court, and his stepmother has repeatedly made things difficult for him and Fang'er. If he hadn't pretended to be a popinjay and stayed with me, I'm afraid that he wouldn't have been able to stay in that house for a long time. ”

Xu Shiqiu did not expect that such a thing would actually happen in Liu Shang Shu's inner chamber.

Because there were no such things in the Xu Family Inner Palace, Xu Shiqiu was unable to think of a good method to give it to Ye Shuo for the time being.

After thinking about it, Xu Shiqiu said in the end, ”This matter still needs to be left to your mother. It's not suitable for even us to appear, and your third aunt's identity is also not enough.”

Xu Shiqiu didn't lie. Since Liu Shangshu's position was not low and he was highly regarded by His Majesty, His Majesty would probably be happy if his grandson married Liu Shangshu's family's granddaughter.

However, the matter of Liu Shangshu's daughter-in-law being married to a imperial concubine was somewhat difficult to deal with.

Thinking to this, Xu Shiqiu looked at Ye Shuo and said: ”Don't be anxious about this matter, I will tell your mother about it. ”No matter what, you must not do anything that would affect the reputation of the lady of the Liu Family.”

Xu Shiqiu saw that Ye Shuo had just finished saying these words. After a moment of hesitation, Ye Shuo still said: ”Although Fang'er is younger than me by a year, in the capital, there are a lot of young ladies who are engaged at the age of thirteen. I'm worried that she might have been betrothed to someone else.”

With Ye Shuo's explanation, Xu Shiqiu also understood what was going on.

Liu Fang'er's current mother was her stepmother, so maybe her stepmother would use her marriage as an article.

”Fine, I'll tell your mother later. You can finally relax now, right?”

Xu Shiqiu squinted at Ye Shuo, and just as he finished speaking, Ye Shuo immediately laughed in satisfaction.

Xu Shiqiu could not bear to see Ye Shuo laugh like that, he raised his hand and slapped his head.

”Since uncle is helping you with this matter, you have to work hard. Since you have a girl you like, you have to do something so that you can raise your family in the future.”

Xu Shiqiu liked Ye Shuo a lot, but he was different from the steady Ye Huan. Since Ye Huan was young, he understood his own identity, so he was very sensible.

However, his wisdom was not that he didn't fight for it, but to obediently hide in the backyard of Fifth Prince Palace and pretend that he did not exist.

Xu Shiqiu would sometimes be very envious of Ye Shuo because he only had one condition, and that was to make himself happy.

Just as he thought about that, he felt Ye Shuo's eyes staring at him.

He raised his eyes to look at him and asked, ”If you still have any words to say, then say them all at once. Being so shy doesn't seem like you.”

Xu Shiqiu saw that Ye Shuo had just finished saying these words, and it seemed as if Ye Shuo had taken a deep breath, and then looked at him and resolutely said: ”Third Uncle, if Fang'er and I can be engaged, can I let Fang'er stay with Third Aunt? I have agreed with Liu Ze that we will go to the border pass together to join the army. ”

Xu Shiqiu never thought that the most important matter Ye Shuo would come to find him today would be this.

He could understand why Ye Shuo would say such a thing, but he could not casually agree to it.

”Brother Shuo, this is something that this Third Uncle cannot agree to. I still need to discuss it with your mother and your third aunt.” After saying that, Xu Shiqiu saw Ye Shuo droop his shoulders like a little dog being scolded.

Although he was sad, he still wagged his tail to please her.

Seeing him like this, Xu Shiqiu could only sigh helplessly before continuing, ”After all, we have no relationship with the Liu Family. Even if his parents are here, we can't just bring him back to our house.”

Ye Shuo understood all of this, so even though he was feeling sad right now, he was not angry.

He nodded at Xu Shiqiu, then looked at him: ”Then I'll be troubling Third Uncle.”

Because Xu Shiqiu had heard about this matter from the beginning, Xu Shiqiu did not have the mood to continue conversing with him. Thinking that it was about time, he brought Ye Shuo and walked towards the back.
