I went down the mountain to hide from my senior sister, but my stunning fiancée took advantage of he

Early the next morning, Sima Liyu came to visit.

The Sima family had basically determined their attitude and agreed with Ye Nan to take some time to meet the old man of the Sima family.

Sima Liyu came specially to pick up Ye Nan.

Sitting in the car, Ye Nan asked casually, "Xingchen said yesterday that he was staying at your place temporarily?"

"Yes, I can't bear to let it go?" Sima Liyu said with a smile.

Ye Nan smiled slightly, "I see Xingchen is quite excited, did you find anything fun?"

"Don't you know?" Sima Liyu was stunned and looked at Ye Nan with some surprise.

"Know what?" Ye Nan was confused.

"A large-scale military exercise!" Sima Liyu blinked. "No. 3 issued instructions before the incident of the Sin Tiansi yesterday! All the big and small clans in the capital, together with the capital's imperial guards, the Sin Tiansi, the Wumeng, and the four border armies, are holding a grand exercise together."

"Ah?" Ye Nan frowned.

Such a big thing, but he didn't receive any news at all.

From the description, the scale of this operation is unprecedented, and all the major forces at the top of the entire building are included.

Who is trying to establish his prestige and demonstrate his authority by making such a big move on No. 3?

"I'm afraid your family is the only one who received the news."

Ye Nan thought for a moment, then sneered, "They thought the Sima family was still wavering, so they tried their best to win it over. If I'm not mistaken, your family should be the only one that received the news."

"Why?" Sima Liyu was puzzled. "Such a big thing will have to be discussed sooner or later. Is there any need to delay?"

"No. 3 probably wants Lang Xie to shine in this grand exercise, in order to build momentum for the subsequent Zui Tian Si's seizure of leadership." Ye Nan analyzed in a deep voice, "Of course, the later the notification is, the better, so as not to give us any extra time to prepare."

Sima Liyu was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled, "It seems that I have accomplished something unexpectedly!"

As the head of the wealthy families, the Sima family has always had an ambiguous attitude that is difficult to understand.

But No. 3 could never have imagined that the Sima family would choose to stand on Ye Nan's side.

"But what does the big drill have to do with you and Xingchen?" Ye Nan asked curiously again.

"Why, do you look down on us female warriors?" Sima Liyu said with a smile, "Xingchen and I have organized a group of good sisters from the aristocratic families. When the time comes, we will form a female corps and compete with you stinky men!"

Ye Nan couldn't help but burst out laughing, and gave him a thumbs up, "Great! Women are just as good as men!"

"That's right!" Sima Liyu was very proud, and then said with some annoyance, "It's a pity that your sisters at home are not interested and are unwilling to participate, otherwise our female corps would have walked sideways!"

Ye Nan's mouth twitched suddenly.

Oh my god, these two girls actually tried to steal my boyfriend...

It's a good idea, but it's a bit cheating.

Apart from anything else, if we take Lin Qingrou and the other eight away... except for running into Lang Xie, we can really walk sideways...

When they arrived at Sima's house, Sima Liyu directly handed Ye Nan over to the servants, and hurriedly met up with the sisters and went for training.

Led by the servants, Ye Nan came to the backyard of the Sima family, a bamboo house, and met the old man of the Sima family, Sima Zhongli.

The old man was wearing a white gown, sitting cross-legged in front of a bamboo table, leisurely making tea.

"Please sit down. You came at the right time. The water has just been boiled." Sima Zhongli waved to Ye Nan casually and kindly.

He looked very energetic. Although his hair and beard were all white, his eyes were still bright.

Ye Nan sat down opposite him.

Sima Zhongli looked up and looked at Ye Nan, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He nodded with satisfaction, then lowered his head and started to get water to make tea.

The old man stopped busying himself and said casually, "Tell me, how much do you plan to give as a betrothal gift?"

"Ah?" Ye Nan was stunned and was a little unresponsive.

The old man did not explain, and said to himself, "Of course, our Sima family does not care about money. It is enough to just go through the motions. I suggest not spending money, but getting some ceremonial gifts or something."

Ye Nan was completely stunned.

"But don't worry, the dowry is not linked to the gift." The old man continued leisurely, "The Sima family will never treat their son-in-law badly."

"Also, according to the rules for you young people, there is an engagement ceremony for engagement and a wedding ceremony for marriage. If you want to hold them separately or together, you can make your own decision. Let me know when you have decided on a date."

"Also, forget about the three matchmakers and six betrothals. We are all children of the underworld, and there is no need to do it for others to see."

"Oh, the most important thing is to go back and report to your grandfather and set a date. We two old guys need to meet some other day."

Seeing that Sima Zhongli was about to continue talking, Ye Nan quickly interrupted him, "Stop! Um... Wait a minute, let me catch my breath!"

Sima Zhongli smiled slightly, said nothing, and poured a cup of tea for Ye Nan.

Ye Nanniu chewed the peony and drank it all in one gulp.

Sima Zhongli was not angry, and slowly poured him another cup.

"Grandpa, I didn't understand what you just said?" Ye Nan asked puzzledly.

Sima Zhongli was also a little confused. "Don't understand? What's there to not understand? It's about your marriage with Li Yu!"

Ye Nan's mouth twitched, "Why don't I know about this?"

"You don't plan to marry Li Yu?" Sima Zhongli frowned, "You don't like her?"

"No, not really..." Ye Nan's eyelids twitched, and he smiled awkwardly, "It's just that this topic... I didn't expect..."

"Then think about it now." Sima Zhongli looked like an old man with a very good mentality. He shrugged slowly.

"Grandpa, I'm here today to discuss cooperation..." Ye Nan couldn't help but say.

"Isn't this the same thing?" Sima Zhongli said calmly, "A marriage between two families, is there any more reliable cooperation than this?"

i wipe...

What you said makes sense...

"Isn't your decision a bit hasty?" Ye Nan asked tentatively.

"I asked Li Yu, she is very interested in you." Sima Zhongli said slowly, "I also asked Hengye, he also had no objection."

"I have learned a little about your situation. Although the things in your family are indeed a bit annoying, based on the current situation, you are the only one who can make Li Yu like you, who is worthy of her, and who can bring benefits to the Sima family."

"As for your wishes... Heh, I, an old man, have also been through a lot when I was young. As for men, as long as a girl has good looks, figure, and a good personality, they will be moved quickly, especially if she is not picky like you."

The corners of Ye Nan's mouth twitched again.

Old man, you are quite rude when you curse people...

"As for your character, I've checked it out a bit. You're not tired of the old, so I guess you're okay."

At this point, the old man stared into Ye Nan's eyes, "Am I being careless?"
