Yan Zike met Mrs. Qiao in the official family's special post house, the old lady was in good spirits, and heard that her son was going to get married, so the laughter did not stop along the way, but the handsome man in front of her, who was said to be his son's boss, poured a basin of cold water on her as soon as she met: "The girl's family regrets her marriage." ”

"Why does she regret her marriage?!" The old lady was counting the big white radish she brought from home, and when she heard this, she was in a hurry, and a radish was on the corner of the table, and the big radish snapped and fell apart.

"I think Linglang is ugly, and today's chicks love Pretty Langjun. Yan Zike was blunt.

"Where does the old lady's son look ugly?! The little face is white and round, how blessed! The little lady doesn't know what to do!"

"There is a person who knows how to be good, and your son can't look down on it. ”

"What? The little king of Donkey Day still dares to pick and choose?!

"Can you be his master?"

"Why can't I?!, the old lady is in charge, and he doesn't dare to let go of his little bitch!"

"Then you just make the decision directly, the girl's family is willing, the young lady of the Sanpin official family, you want to look good, you have to have a bearing, and the female red needle is proficient in financial management, what do you say Le Zi is hesitating about?"

"A little bastard! The old lady is in charge! Seeing that he dares to say half a word, the old lady discounts his doglegs!"

"Only one thing, that girl is only thirteen years old this year, and she is a little young......"

"What's small! Isn't the old lady married to his father's dead ghost at this age?! It's better to be younger, and this daughter-in-law has to be raised from a young age to know her relatives!"

"Hehe, the time of marriage can be discussed, it is not easy to find a good daughter-in-law this year, and there is no hurry to occupy the next one first, you say but?"

"That's not it, where does the girl's family live? I'll go to the door for the little Wang Balamb!" said Old Lady Qiao and began to order the local products she brought from home, such as big white radishes, sweet potatoes, eggs, and a big jar of pickles, "I knew that there was such a thing, I would have brought more from home as a dowry, virtuous nephew, do you think these are enough? I still have the money that my family has saved for the rotten eggs over the years to marry the daughter-in-law, I have brought it this time, you see, is it enough?" No matter how poor we are, we can't wronged other girls, I really can't borrow some money, even if the interest rate is higher, it's okay!"

"Hehe, don't be in a hurry today, you always go to the Houya to settle down, and leave this matter to the matchmaker, I think you still have to talk to the rotten egg, if he doesn't agree, he has to give up, the twisted melon is not sweet. ”

"He dares to disagree with it! You don't care! I'll have the final say on this matter!"

……

Duchess Wei Guo doesn't know what luck she has taken recently, two families have asked her to be a matchmaker one after another, and the interesting thing is that the first one who came to mention it turned around and asked her to help mention it to other people's families - it is rare to be so looked down upon, and Duchess Wei Guo has done her best.

When Mrs. Lu received the Duchess of Weiguo at home, Lu Jingwei was still in the office, and at first glance, I heard that the man who proposed marriage was Yin Qiao Lezi of Taiping Mansion, and I still didn't believe it, I couldn't figure out how this prefect could take a fancy to his daughter, how old is the little lotus, how old is Qiao Lezi......?!

Mrs. Lu didn't dare to say anything for a while, and after sending away the Duchess of Weiguo, she muttered to Mama Jiang about this matter-shouldn't it be those young men who can like her own daughter? Governor Qiao is so busy every day, how can he have time to take a fancy to our little lotus? The more I think about it, the more terrible it becomes.

When Lu Lotus came home from school, Mrs. Lu quietly tried a few words between words, knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, she suddenly had a number in her heart, but she was not in a hurry to say it, and on the second day, she made people inquire about Qiao Lezi's personality and reputation among the people, and asked a few good ladies to be guests at home, and Mama Jiang sang and knocked on the side to test Qiao Lezi's official voice in the official circle, and when Duchess Weiguo came to the door again, she asked his family background and resume carefully, and still did not say death immediately, and then when Lu Lotus went home, she asked her clearly"What do you think of Master Qiao's envoy?"

Lu Rong was stunned for a moment, and her face turned red in an instant, but she felt strange in her heart, Qiao Lezi had never revealed this meaning to her, why did she ...... so suddenly.

Anyway, let's make eye contact beforehand! It's too obscene to come here so quietly all of a sudden......

Could it be that the hunger relief has played a role? He was happy for a while, but he couldn't repay it, so he had to promise it with his body? This is also too temperamental......

Lu Rong's thoughts were mixed for a while, and Mrs. Lu was not in a hurry to let her give an answer, only let her think about it, but at the latest, she had to give someone an explanation.

Lu Lotus had actually thought about this question many times, but when it came to the end, he felt a little panicked, so he couldn't help but write a note to Yan Qi, sealed it with wax and sent it to Yan Mansion.

Soon got Yan Qi's reply, and saw that it read: "Don't hesitate to decide on something, unless you think there is someone more suitable than him." It's normal to panic, no one is born with the habit of eating and sleeping with others to start a strange life, but this road will have to go sooner or later, and sooner or later you will get used to it, why think too much? Be brave, you know better than anyone else what it feels like to live a life you don't want, the life you want is already in front of you, what is there to hesitate about?"

Duchess Wei Guo happily went to the back office of the Taiping Mansion and said to Mrs. Qiao: "The girl's family agreed, but there is one thing: the girl is still young, she is only willing to settle down first, and then do things later, what do you mean here?"

"Okay, okay, okay! As long as it's sure to come down, we can do as much as we want—— this girl won't regret her marriage again, right?! Our rotten eggs are not young, and no one can afford to regret it again! You have to make this clear to your in-laws!"

Duchess Wei didn't mind that Old Lady Qiao didn't pay attention to what the countrymen said, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mrs. Lu's personality is the most upright and trustworthy, and since she agreed, she will definitely keep the contract." But he didn't mention Lu Jingwei.

Mrs. Qiao was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and she wanted to wrap a big red envelope of one or two silver for Duchess Weiguo, but Duchess Weiguo couldn't help but smile and accepted it, and agreed with Mrs. Qiao that she would come to the door to perform the gift.

Afraid that Mrs. Qiao came out of the countryside and didn't understand the rules of the official family, the Duchess of Weiguo simply did it to the end, and sent four experienced housekeepers from her own house to help Zhang Luo, and Nacai brought a well-prepared gift to the Lu family on this day, and saw several cases wrapped by Xuan and Xuan, sheep, sake, liquor, stalk rice, millet rice, pu, reed, curly cypress, Jiahe, longevity, glue, lacquer, five-color silk, Hehuan bell, Jiuzi ink, money, Lude vanilla, phoenix, relic beast, mandarin duck, blessed beast, fish, deer, black, nine children's wife, yang sui and other things—— Mrs. Qiao doesn't look like she was born in the countryside, and the money and things she can take out are not ambiguous at all.

Lu Jingwei was still not in the house, Mrs. Lu accepted the gift, and gave Lu Rong's birthday to the Duchess of Weiguo, and then took it back and asked Bu He eight characters, and it was lucky, Mrs. Qiao began to happily list the post, and the post wrote in detail Qiao Lezi's birthday, the names of the three generations of ancestors, the ingredients, whether the parents are in the hall, and the bottom is the details of the dowry, what gold and silver, land, property, house, corridor, The mountain garden, no matter how big or small, is all listed, the Duchess of Wei Guo is even busier at this step, the two families run back and forth to inform and discuss, Mrs. Lu also has to write a dowry list, the front is the same as the man, and the lower head has a list of house gifts, jewelry, gold and silver, pearls, treasures, use of curtains and other things, and the land and house with the marriage, Mountain garden and so on, this is a long process, when the two families have decided on the dowry, both parties will sign the post, as the matchmaker Duchess Wei Guo will also sign, and then pick a day, on behalf of the man, bring the post with gifts, go to the woman's house to exchange the post, this marriage can be considered final.

Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Lu were busy on both sides, but Qiao Lezi and Lu Jingwei didn't know about it, they should sit in the government and be confused, but Yan Zike also took the time to remind Qiao Lezi: "Since Lingtang is in Beijing, it is better to write a book by the way and ask for a seal." ”

Qiao Lezi thought about it, although he didn't know whether the big leader would give him approval or not, anyway, he hung up the number in front of him first, but Yan Zike gave Zhun Xin'er: "As soon as I approve it, I will also hand over my mother's please seal the fold this year, and take a hitchhike with Lingtang's." ”

Qiao Lezi thought it was funny, but there was a snake spirit disease, and he would definitely be able to get this letter from his own mother, so he went back and happily told Mrs. Qiao about it.

Qiao Lezi didn't know what kind of calculation the snake spirit disease was playing, and the snake spirit disease only told his niece: Mrs. Qiao has a seal, and she will be able to clean up Lu Jingwei like a tiger.

His niece gave him a thumbs up: It's so dark! There is such a fierce mother-in-law, Lu Jingwei is confused and guilty again, and he directly knocks on the door without saying a word, like Mrs. Qiao, an ancient aunt who is spicy and resolute and is not bound by etiquette because she has no culture, the cliff is the nemesis of Lu Jingwei, a strange man who is pedantic, stereotyped, confused, secluded, and fake and high.

The key is that Mrs. Qiao can still hurt Lu Lotus, when the people are open, even if the men and women are talking about marriage or have already decided to marry, they can meet in public, Mrs. Lu looked for a day under the guidance of Mrs. Wei Guo and took Lu Lotus to a nearby temple to incense, and then had a "chance encounter" with Mrs. Qiao , Mrs. Qiao fell in love with this future daughter-in-law at a glance, look at this little handsome, laughing with a little shyness that hurts to the bones, quiet and sensible, not at all the squeamishness of the young lady, I can't wait to drag it over and hug it into my arms as my own daughter.

Since that time I went back, Mrs. Qiao asked people to send things to Lu Mansion for three days, what red skin big eggs, what Guiyuan paste stewed black chicken, what Mrs. Qiao's exclusive secret pickles, once I really didn't know what to send, so I simply let people lead a milk-producing ewe and go directly to Lu Mansion: "Goat milk is the best, the most nourishing, let the lotus girl drink a bowl every day!"

Lu Lotus laughed and was moved, and also sent things to Mrs. Qiao every now and then, what handkerchiefs, socks, new shoes, wiping purses, sweat towels, all of which were embroidered by herself, so happy that Mrs. Qiao almost said in front of Qiao Lezi several times - the old lady is not educated does not mean that she is not wise, this matter must be concealed until the moment before the change of the post, and when the time comes, the rotten egg, the little Wang Balamb, will have to agree if he does not agree - such a good little daughter-in-law, he dares to disagree!

Both Qiao and Lu had the idea of cutting first and then playing, Mrs. Lu didn't expect Lu Jingwei to find a good in-law for Lu Rong, maybe the family background could be better than Qiao Lezi, and whether Lu Rong could live comfortably and happily when she married in the past was definitely not within his consideration. This time Mrs. Lu also took a big risk, she couldn't imagine, and she didn't want to think about how Lu Jingwei would react after knowing the truth, Lu Lotus was her only daughter, and she was the only concern in this world.

The Lu family is busy, the Yan family is even busier, the wedding date of the second girl Yan is in June next year, and it is said that there is still half a year to go, but there are too many things to prepare when the people of Dafu get married. Making jewelry, the accounts of the Zhuangzi field of the dowry shop must be counted, even if you start now, it seems a little tight, Mrs. Yan Da has been sick in bed for more than ten days, and finally accepts this fact that it is impossible to change anymore, so she has to fight hard and come out again to operate, how is it a certainty, I have to think about giving my daughter a dowry as much as possible, and I can't let her be wronged - her husband is already missing an arm, and she can't be indebted anymore in terms of food and clothing after marriage.

But at this time, I was not in a good hurry, I was in a hurry to enter the wax moon, and all the complicated things in the house for the New Year had to be prepared, Mrs. Yan was so busy that she hit the back of her head with her heel, and the second girl Yan simply dropped out of school and concentrated on preparing for marriage at home, and helped Mrs. Yan to share some of the middle feed during the day, but she also had to embroider wedding dresses and do premarital maintenance, Mrs. Yan had to ask the old lady to let Mrs. Yan San also follow out of the council.

Since entering the wax moon, everywhere in the house is busy, the shopkeepers and tenants on the grange shop come to reconcile the accounts and pay the rent to send the New Year's goods, all kinds of poor relatives and friends who can't hit the eight poles come to fight the autumn breeze, and the officials from all over the provinces who want to go to Beijing to report on their work want to take the Yanzi Kemen Road and visit the people who hug the thighs.

In addition to the children who want to go to school and preschool children Yan Xiaoshi, every master in the Yan Mansion has taken on a lot of work, Mrs. Yan has always been responsible for the family's interest collection and chores, every day in the study room and the shopkeeper of the shop outside the village to check the accounts, Mrs. Yan in the family and friends who play the autumn breeze, every day to chat with the food and wipe the tears, the skin of the mouth is worn out, and almost did not eat big fish and meat to get diabetes.

Mrs. Yan took the general feed and prepared a dowry for the second girl Yan, and the second girl followed her to learn management, and Mrs. Yan only got the most trivial and useless work, such as staring at the people every day to clean, watch, change shifts, check posts, pass meals, ask for leave, count the number of tables, chairs, dishes, chopsticks and various furnishings, etc., it is really annoying and tired and easy to offend people, so angry that Mrs. Yan San scolded Mrs. Yan in the room, but she was reluctant to let go of this little power that she had finally obtained, and she was painful and happy every day.

Yan Zike is as busy as ever, the more he goes to the end of the year, the more complicated the official affairs, sometimes he simply stays in the office, and there is no time to go home; Yan Ziheng, the third master, is a hard injury, and he can't do anything, so the old lady didn't let him go, so he wrote couplets every day after he got home from work and had nothing to do, not only to write his own paste, but also to write to give away, anyway, this can't see clearly does not prevent the words from being written beautifully, so in addition to the couplets, he also has to write calligraphy scrolls, and prepare a gift for the New Year to give to friends who like calligraphy and painting.

Master Yan Si didn't count on it, I heard that he went to Lincheng to participate in some gambling conference, and it would be good to be able to rush home before the New Year.

Yan Qi is also very busy, Cui Xi has recently taken a leave of absence, concentrating on the study of RVs, Cui's family has several wooden shops in Kyoto, there is a yard behind the store, carpenters usually work in the yard, Cui Xi goes to the yard every day to direct his own skilled craftsmen to build cars according to the drawings he draws, Yan Qi also went to join in the fun, providing some suggestions and more advanced ideas, such as the use of gears, bearings, Pulley blocks and other mechanical parts are installed at the bottom of the car to connect the wheels, which can drive the carriage forward with half the effort, otherwise there are too many components in the carriage, resulting in excessive weight and a great burden on the horse.

"You've already told your family?" Yan Qi asked Cui Xi.

"Not yet," Cui Xi said disapprehantly, "I just said that Dr. Gao asked me to recuperate at home, and my mother believed it." ”

Yan Qi didn't ask any more questions, and built a carriage with Cui Xi every day, went out to eat, went shopping, and bought things for travel, and the schedule was quite full.

Unconsciously, it has entered the month and a half of the month, after the semi-finals of the comprehensive martial arts competition, the two teams that entered the finals have also been decided, the king Ziyang team has unsurprisingly entered the final battle for several consecutive sessions, and the other team that will compete for the championship has no suspense, it is the old opponent of the Ziyang team, the Kirin Academy.

In the first leg of the finals of the eleventh month of Layue, the Ziyang team defeated the Kirin team away with an advantage of three people, the eighteenth of Layue is the second round, and it is also the final battle, this game attracted tens of thousands of comprehensive martial arts fans to the scene, but the venue is limited after all, only the dignitaries and some of the civilians who came to occupy the land in the middle of the night can enter the venue, most of the spectators have not been able to enter, so they have to listen to a movement outside the field。

"The Ziyang team took the lead in the opening, and Yu Xinle, who was in charge of the cannon, shot arrows from a distance, and directly killed the general of the Qilin team!

"Not to be outdone, the five soldiers all brought arrows, even with two cannons, and seven people fired arrows in a row, forming a rain of arrows in the field! The horses of the Ziyang team were killed! The soldiers of the Ziyang team were killed!"

"The captain of the Qilin team, Mu Yu, killed Yu Xinle!

"Tian Shen, the god of war of the Qilin team, has faced Ding Fei, the strongest newcomer of the Ziyang team! Tian Shen has faced Ding Fei! This is the strongest one-on-one duel in this tournament!"

"Ding Fei lost a point!"

"Ding Fei lost two points!"

"Ding Fei lost three points!"

"Ding Fei lost four points!"

"-Ding Fei killed--Ding Fei hit Tian Shen before he died--Tian Shen died-both sides died!"

"The Kirin cannon is dead!"

"The unicorn horse is dead!"

"-The commander of the Ziyang team is killed!"

"The Ziyang team is killed!"

"The Ziyang team suddenly launched a big attack!"

"Team Ziyang and Team Qilin have entered the meat battle!"

"The Ziyang team is crazy! My mother! The offensive is unstoppable! It can't be stopped at all!"

"——The Ziyang team won! The Ziyang team won the championship! There are five people left, all of them will be annihilated! Ziyang team! Four consecutive championships!"

"Oooo

Wu Yue wiped the sweat on his head: "My God, just listening to the ear report on the battle situation outside is sweating nervously, if you look at it inside, you can't be crazy with excitement?"

The 5678 combination, together with several members of Wu Ting and the Splendid Comprehensive Martial Arts Team, failed to squeeze into the field, so they had to stand outside and listen to the whole game.

"It would be nice if we had so many people watching our games. "Splendid team member A is not without envy.

"The premise is that next year we can still make it to the elite and meet Ziyang again. Splendid team member B was very pessimistic, "Yan Xiaoqi will be there next year, this is a big loss for our team." ”

"Yan Xiaoqi, you can't bear to leave us alone?" everyone pointed their guns at Yan Qi.

"My heart is sour when you say it," Yan Qidao, "In order to prove that I will always be with you, just report my name when I play next year! ”

"Phew—" Everyone booed her.

"How long are you going to go?" Wu Ting took advantage of the fact that everyone was squeezing out of the scene together, and pulled Yan Qi to the side and asked.

"Maybe, three or five years. "Yan Qidao.

"Is this what Tu Mi meant?" Wu Ting tilted his head to look at her.

"Hmm. ”

"Why?" Wu Ting frowned slightly.

"I guess I'm getting in his way. "Yan Qidao.

"Why?" Wu Ting asked again, with scrutiny and doubt in his eyes, "Because your archery skills are almost comparable to his?" I can't think of anything else that can hinder you, an ordinary lady who is not ordinary, can hinder him. ”

"I can't imagine it, but, Fifth Brother, after I leave Beijing, if you're not very busy, it's best to find someone to keep an eye on his movements from time to time," Yan Qidao, "At that time, I will also ask my uncle to keep an eye on him, this person...... It's not a master who is happy to kill even his own father. ”

Wu Ting's eyes seemed to be shocked for a moment, and he turned his head solemnly: "I know, but will it be dangerous for you to leave Beijing like this?

"I'll be careful, I'm still thinking about whether I need an escort or not, and I'll decide before I leave. ”

"Inform me on a certain date, and I'll see you off at that time, and give you a little bit of the way, just in case. ”

"Fifth brother, you are so good, I now deeply doubt that I am not your long-lost sister. ”

“…… Dream less. ”

"My girl's heart was broken by you. ”

After leaving Ziyang Academy, Yan Qi still went to Cui Xi's wooden shop after saying goodbye to everyone, but when he entered the door, he saw Mrs. Cui wearing a cotton cloak with blue satin and walking out of it, Yan Qi stepped forward and saluted: "Are you still busy outside on a cold day?"

Mrs. Cui smiled and helped Yan Qi: "I'll take a look at what Xiao Si'er is doing here all day, how old is he and playing with toys! I'm leaving, I'm going to Puji Nunnery today, you go in quickly, it's cold outside." 166 Reading Network
