Chapter 194: Meet
readx;? Mrs. Li was afraid that something would happen, so she chose the nearest auspicious day and sent a matchmaker to the door to propose marriage. After asking Najib www.biquge.info the name, he was hired. Compared with the system of the county lord, the dowry is thick. First, it is to show the importance of this family business, and secondly, it is also to compensate Li Cang a little.
There were no secrets in Jingzhong, and the Li family intended to make a big splash, and the news of Mulan's marriage to Li Cang soon spread, and speculation and discussion also came one after another.
There is a well-informed person who has good intentions, and he picked up the matter that Li Cang couldn't kneel down outside the gate of the Guogong Mansion, and when he contacted the two of them, it was not difficult to guess that this family affair was sought by the Li family. Some praised him for his deep affection, some scolded him for being frivolous, and some said that he was greedy for the wealth of the government and the government, and the fight was completely intentional.
There are also mixed reviews for Mulan, some say that the girl of the Xie family succeeded in her treacherous plan and forced the Li family to marry;
In the gambling room, there are more joys and sorrows, and those who have spent a lot of money betting that Mulan will not be able to marry have lost all their money, and only a very few people have made a lot of money.
There are also some people who are scheming and want to get rich, because Mrs. An is very unhappy that he has gone back on his word, and some people even got drunk and ran to the door of the Guogong Mansion to make trouble, and asked Lu Xin to clean it up without mercy.
……
It took several days of such an uproar before it gradually stopped.
Since he made up his mind, Li Cang ran very diligently to the Guogong Mansion. Either listened to Mrs. Li's instructions to give a festival gift, or bought some rare things at home to honor Mrs. An.
It is said that it is filial piety to Mrs. An, and every time you have to prepare an extra gift. I didn't say who it was for, and I didn't hide it, so I sent it to Mrs. An generously. What rouge, hairpin rings, clay carvings, flowers and plants, all of them are some things that little girls like, where does Mrs. An still not understand?
After passing the eyes of Mrs. An, it is not possible to give it to each other privately, and Mulan also accepts it calmly.
After receiving gifts from others, I always have to return them. She was not a good woman, and she couldn't make complicated things, so she embroidered a handkerchief, sewed a purse, tied a knot or something, and asked Hongyu to hand it over for her. Although he had a marriage contract, he still couldn't give birth to a charming mind, and the embroidered patterns were not related to the word "love".
Rao is like this, Li Cang is still happy to receive things, and he is happy all day long. Where does he look like a bitter master? Originally, he suspected that he was forcing him to marry Mu Lan, and they also shut up one after another.
Because of the marriage, Mulan couldn't go out for a long time, but the "Holy Third Prince" sent a compass as agreed. It is only the size of a palm, square on the outside and round on the inside, and there is a magnetic needle carved into the shape of a spoon in the middle.
The appearance is similar to the compass in her impression, but it is not very accurate, and after a few days, the magnetic needle will deviate by half an inch. The slightest difference at sea is a thousand miles away, and it is useless, so it is just used for fun.
She has no talent in this area, and she can't do anything about it on her own. Only after the people under the "Holy Third Prince" debug and improve, make an accurate compass, and then consider going to sea.
Because this is the first reunion year that Mulan has had after recognizing Mrs. An, Hongyu is determined to make this year lively, and she will prepare as soon as she enters the wax moon.
In the past, every year in Laba, the Guogong Mansion had to give porridge. After Mrs. An came back, she followed this tradition, and on this day, Laba asked people to set up a few cauldrons outside the gate of the Guogong Mansion, no matter who came, as long as they came, they could ask for a bowl of Laba porridge to drink.
Because the laba porridge released by the Guogong Mansion is full of materials, boiled to the fire, fragrant and thick, not like other families like clear soup and little water, the people who come to receive the porridge are endless, and the people who share the porridge are so busy that their feet do not touch the ground. As the young master of the Guogong Mansion, Mulan also put on a hat and went out to help divide the porridge for a while.
After dividing the porridge and returning to Yu Ting Pavilion, Bo Yue came over to spread the word, saying that Li Cang was here and asked her to pack up and see people.
has already made a marriage, that is, half of the Li family's wife, and filial piety to her in-laws is indispensable during the New Year's holidays. In addition to Laba porridge, bacon, Laba tofu, Laba garlic and other inherent Laba samples, Mulan also prepared additional gifts for the Li family.
What was given to Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li Da Shao and Li Xi was jewelry, what was given to Li Jiye, Li Run and Li Cang was a knot, and Li Run's youngest daughter who had just turned one year old was given a gold lock, which was drawn by her own and created by a famous craftsman.
Li Jiye also has an old mother who lives in his hometown with his brother. As early as half a month ago, the festival ceremony of the Guogong Mansion was on the road, and Mulan also prepared the same gift for Mrs. Li and Mr. Li's family.
Two days ago, someone from his hometown praised Mulan in front of Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li especially likes the hairnet that Mulan made for her, and she also asked for a pair of gold bracelets with full weight, saying that they were given to her future granddaughter-in-law.
Mrs. Li was also very satisfied with this thoughtful daughter-in-law-to-be, and picked up a few pieces of red gold jewelry, put them together into a complete set, and asked Li Cang to send them over with the Boxing Gift.
Since they made up their minds, Mulan and Li Cang have never even seen each other. Of course, Li Cang didn't have no thoughts, otherwise he wouldn't have run to the Guogong Mansion again and again.
During today's holiday, Mrs. An remembered that the two of them were children who knew how to be polite and behaved, and she was not afraid that they would do anything beyond the rules, so she made an exception and allowed them to meet her.
Mulan was too lazy to change her clothes, so she only picked out two pieces of jewelry from the jewelry Li Cang gave her and put them on, and then put on a cotton coat and walked forward.
Li Cang sat upright in the small flower hall, holding a tea cup in his hand but had no intention of drinking tea, his eyes staring at the door. Hearing a voice from outside the door, he subconsciously straightened his back and waited with bated breath.
It seemed to be a long time before the heavy curtain was raised. He only felt that his eyes lit up, and immediately the fiery red figure attracted all his attention, and he didn't feel that the tea cup was tilted, and the tea was already pouring out.
Seeing this, Mulan hurriedly reminded him: "Tea!"
Li Cang was stunned for a moment, but when he came back to his senses, he realized that he was half wet with his clothes. He hurriedly put down the teacup and touched the handkerchief to wipe it.
"You went to Steward Lu and asked him for clean clothes. Mulan turned her head and instructed Dan Lu.
Danlu deserves a voice and goes to do his own business.
Li Cang was embarrassed, blushed and said, "I was distracted for a while, so you can see and laugh." ”
"It doesn't matter. Mulan smiled and took a seat next to him. Asked the girl to collect the residual tea and bring the tea again.
The two of them each held a cup of tea, but they didn't know what to say, and the room fell silent for a while. Don't talk about Li Cang, even Mulan was a little uncomfortable, so she had to say without words: "Lord Li and Mrs. Li have always been good?"
"Good. Li Cang nodded busily, "My father is busy with court affairs, and my mother is preparing for the New Year......"
Speaking of Mrs. Li, she remembered the box and quickly took it out, "This is what my mother asked me to bring to you." ”
