Chapter 914: A Marriage Letter
Of course, taking a step back, if you can't resolve her life and death for a while, and at the same time, this woman is indeed very cute, making it difficult for her to give up, then you might as well fake it, really be a husband and wife, and then return with her.
But in that case, you may need to find someone with a similar birthday to her, and only after you can rescue her can you take her away, which is very troublesome. Therefore, this situation should not happen as much as possible, Yang Xianmao warned himself in his heart. Since this iron mouth values money so much, he believes that money should be able to solve this matter.
After this thought flashed through Yang Xianmao's mind, he immediately clasped his fists and said: "Since this is the case, then I will invite the matchmaker tomorrow, and I will go with you to marry Ling Yan home." My parents will not object, they have long said about my marriage, I am in charge. ”
This is what Zhang Tiezui is most worried about, but he didn't expect Yang Xianmao's answer to be a big pie falling from the sky, and Zhang Tiezui who smashed it directly was a little dizzy.
He said ecstatically: "Really, that's great, it turns out that Lingzun Lingci is so open, indeed, there is really no need for a young talent like you to make decisions for you, you yourself choose a hundred times better than what they like." I also dare to pat my chest and make a guarantee, my daughter will definitely be praised by your father and mother when she arrives at your house. She is a very filial child, and she is knowledgeable, all kinds of female celebrities are very good, and she is humble, guarding women's ways, and there is nothing wrong to find out, hehehehe. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Xianmao turned his head to look outside the door, and said with some doubts: "Why did Mr.'s niece go for a long time and not come back?"
Now it's just lip service, and he hasn't really gotten the marriage certificate yet, so of course Zhang Tiezui doesn't dare to rest assured. Now one more chip, one more peace of mind, this Caifeng is one of his biggest chips, of course, he must start and finish well, especially before leaving Yangzhou, maybe he will ask her to tease at any time, so that Yang Xianmao has more expectations for his daughter.
Zhang Tiezui was hesitating to get up and go out to see how Caifeng had gone for a long time and didn't return, then the door was pushed open, it was Caifeng, there seemed to be tears in her red eyes, Zhang Tiezui couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and quickly asked: "Caifeng, what's wrong with you?"
Caifeng's voice was a little choked, and she said, "It's nothing, it's just that when the little nephew saw his uncle, he remembered his father and mother in Suizhou." My little nephew hasn't been home for a long time, and it would be great if any relatives could take me home to visit my relatives when they returned to Suizhou. It's a pity that no, I'm a weak woman and I don't dare to go on the road alone, I drank wine just now, my heart is sad, I think of my parents are old, and they are thousands of miles apart, and the family can't be together, and I cried for a while, so I called my uncle and Yang Gongzi laugh. ”
When Zhang Tiezui heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy, before he proposed to Caifeng to let Caifeng go to his hometown in Suizhou, Xishu, with him, and promised her a thousand taels of silver. This Caifeng refused at the time, but he didn't expect that now he took the initiative to go to Suizhou, could it be that after thinking about it for a day, he was still moved by the thousand taels of silver?
Zhang Tiezui hurriedly comforted: "It turned out to be this matter, hahaha, that's really a coincidence, let me tell you, Yang Gongzi has already said that he wants to marry your cousin, and he will ask the matchmaker to marry tomorrow, and he can also set this marriage for his parents, and tomorrow I invite the matchmaker to set the marriage book, and he is the son-in-law of my Zhang family, that is, your cousin-in-law." When the time comes, you and I will go back to Suizhou together, and he will go to marry your cousin, won't you just go back with us? When you get together with your parents at home for a while, if you want to come back, you can also follow Yang Gongzi and your cousin back together, doesn't this understand your wishes?"
Speaking of this, he looked at Yang Xianmao again and said, "Young Master Yang, what do you think?"
Of course, Yang Xianmao was a hundred happy in his heart, and with such a flower-like woman walking all the way, it was not much more comfortable than following this bad old man. So he grinned and said, "That's good, let's go together, and we will take care of each other on the road." ”
After saying goodbye, the three of them had a good drink. The Caifeng girl also turned her worries into joy, and frequently raised her glass to toast in gratitude, so the rest of the wine was very enjoyable.
At the end of the banquet, Yang Xianmao said goodbye, saying that he would meet at the place of fortune telling the next morning, and Yang Xianmao would go to invite the matchmaker.
Yang Xianmao took a donkey cart and left, and Zhang Tiezui also called a donkey cart to send Caifeng back.
When he arrived at the river, Zhang Tiezui bowed and said: "Thank you girl for agreeing to go with you, the girl can rest assured, when you arrive in Suizhou, a thousand taels of silver is a lot, and you will give it all to you." All expenses on the road are paid for by the people who come down. If the girl is not sure, she can write an IOU and let the girl take it, I wonder what the girl thinks?"
Caifeng shook his head slightly and said: "The gentleman is a promise, I believe what the old man said, there is no need to write any IOU." ”
Zhang Tiezui nodded happily, and agreed at the moment that as long as the matter was over, he would immediately hire a car to pick her up by the West Lake and set off, and make certain preparations before that.
Now that both sides have agreed, the rest of the matter is of course much simpler.
The next morning, Yang Xianmao quickly found a matchmaker and gave a thank you gift of two taels of silver, and the matchmaker immediately closed the eight characters, of course, a pair made in heaven. At that moment, the matchmaker took out the marriage book and gave it to Zhang Tiezui, and then happily congratulated the two parties on their marriage, and left with a thank you gift.
got the marriage certificate, Zhang Tiezui was overjoyed, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground. Of course, in the end, when his daughter worships heaven and earth with this golden beetle son-in-law and enters the cave room, that is the final certainty.
So after getting the marriage certificate, Blacksmith Zhang discussed with Yang Xianmao whether to worship heaven and earth in Suizhou, and then take his daughter back after worshipping. Anyway, the marriage book is available, and it is already considered a marriage.
Yang Xianmao has already made up her mind, of course, everything is listened to Zhang Tiezui, and he smiled and nodded at the moment, saying that there is no problem, it is the same wherever he worships heaven and earth, as long as his daughter can go back with him to see his parents, lest his parents think that he is a son-in-law. This made Zhang Tiezui laugh happily, and even claimed that there was no problem, as long as he worshipped heaven and earth, Yang Xianmao could leave whenever he wanted. After the decision was made, Zhang Tiezui immediately went to hire a car and prepared to leave for Suizhou immediately.
Today's horses have been requisitioned by the army and the imperial court, and are almost impossible to see in the market. Therefore, it will be very hard to walk on land, and after discussion, the two decided to take the waterway, go upriver along the Yangtze River, and then abandon the boat and land near Suizhou, and go by car, which is relatively fast and easy. At the same time, Zhang Tiezui also has a plan, that is, to sit on the boat and go upstream, no matter what, he is walking in the water. It is not so easy for this golden beetle son-in-law to slip away if he regrets it, unlike on the shore, and he can't find it if he flows into the grass under the pretext of going to the thatched house. This is also the main reason why Zhang Tiezui insisted on buying a boat against the current, of course, Yang Xianmao and Caifeng did not oppose this suggestion.
At that moment, Yang Xianmao paid for it and hired a big boat, only the three of them took it, without other passengers or any goods, and sailed lightly. Yang Xianmao is now rich and rivals the country, and when he came to Yangzhou this time, he brought a bag of gold and silver, which were very valuable, and hiring a ship was just a drop in the bucket.
When Zhang Tiezui saw Yang Xianmao hiring a boat, he didn't even talk about the price, and what he took out was actually a yellow-orange gold leaf, and his eyes were even straighter. I thought to myself, the golden beetle son-in-law I found for my daughter should be rich, after marrying him, not only will my daughter have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, but my father-in-law will not have to go to the street to tell people fortunes, and he will wait for his old age in the future.
After hiring the boat, the three of them boarded the boat and went up the river.
The downstream of the Yangtze River is relatively slow, so as long as there is wind, pull on the sails, you can sail away, plus the boatman's rocking, the speed of the boat is still relatively fast. In the more turbulent places of the river, of course, the boatmen get off the boat to pull the fiber.
Zhang Tiezui secretly told Caifeng to talk to Yang Xianmao more and not to be lazy. But although Caifeng agreed, she always seemed to be preoccupied, and often sat on the boat in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
On the contrary, Yang Xianmao often looked for her without words, which made Zhang Tiezui a little worried, but seeing that Yang Xianmao was not angry because of this, he was relieved.
The boat traveled on the river for three days, and on this day, the three of them held a banquet and drank wine at the bow of the boat, blowing the river breeze to talk, and Caifeng seemed to be preoccupied, Yang Xianmao deliberately told her several times, she just smiled reluctantly.
After the banquet, Yang Xianmao returned to the cabin and collapsed on the bed, but he was thinking about the past few days. At the same time, he pricked up his ears and listened, because for three days in a row, he heard someone come up to talk to Caifeng at night. He never showed up, for he could sense that the night walker did not seem to have malicious intent.
But this night the boat seemed to have more nocturnal walkers than the previous nights, and three or four came up and entered Caifeng's house.
From the first time I saw this Caifeng, Yang Xianmao knew that this woman was not so simple, and it was obvious that she was not Zhang Tiezui's niece, because she didn't look like Zhang Tiezui at all. But he didn't expose it, but treated her as an iron-mouthed niece.
When I was eating at the restaurant that day, the middle-aged man suddenly pushed the door in, saying that he had gone to the wrong room and retreated. Caifeng's face changed slightly at that time, and the fleeting panic in his eyes naturally couldn't escape Yang Xianmao's eyes, he keenly captured this change, but he didn't know what the reason was for Caifeng to have such an expression, and what was the relationship between that iron mouth and Caifeng.
Some people have boarded their ship these nights in a row, but what are these people here for?
Yang Xianmao originally didn't want to find out what kind of person this Caifeng was, as long as her affairs didn't involve her own and she was not dangerous to herself, why should she interfere in other people's affairs.
The identity of this Caifeng, Yang Xianmao can think of it with her toes, it should be the singer on the West Lake, because when she and Yang Xianmao are drinking, the habitual smile and calm expression they show are only those singers who often drink and have fun with guests, and normal ladies will definitely not be like this.
He also guessed that Zhang Tiezui was a singer who was invited for money, so he didn't take it seriously until he found out that this Caifeng's background was unusual.
And now, he was a little curious about what was going on with this Caifeng.
