Old Madam Liu said, "I am not speaking in riddles; she really wants to arrange a marriage for Liu Yi, and I truly want to arrange one for Huan'er as well."
She said, "A family with a daughter is sought after by a hundred families. Whoever succeeds, that's their skill."
Minister Liu glanced at his elderly wife, feeling she was speaking nonsense, "Can her grandnephew compare to our Huan'er?"
"Although our Huan'er may not have achieved much, right now he not only has a title but has also passed the Ming Classic exam. Even if he can't become a high official in the future, getting a fourth or fifth rank practical position is still achievable. Can Liu Yi compare?"
Minister Liu, although greatly unimpressed with Liu Huan, had to consider with whom he was comparing. He couldn't compare to a great-grandson or someone like Bai Shanyin, but he was undoubtedly better than Liu Yi.
Old Madam Liu then asked him, "So what do you think about this marriage proposal?"
