Chapter Seventy-Nine: Rafting and Proposing

The news that Tan Xin was going to marry into Nanfeng Alley spread quickly like the wind, and the Shen family was the first to fry the pot. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At breakfast, Master Shen said bitterly, "Treasure, look at other people's plates, you are only fifteen years old, you will get married, and you will have a child next year, look at you, you are nineteen, nineteen!" ”

“…… Fifteen years old is not yet the age of a man to get married, and only the plate can be so willful. ”

"But you're not fifteen, you're nineteen, nineteen!"

Every sentence was roaring, and Shen Laibao felt that he was not a nineteen-year-old bachelor, but a ninety-year-old bachelor. Why is he nineteen years old, and his father still treats him as a little teenager. Probably because of ...... He's his father.

He nodded, did not refute or struggle, today he made an appointment with Hua Lang and a few people to go to the lotus pond, of course, and his small flowers.

When Master Shen saw that he looked like he didn't care about himself, he couldn't wait to rush over the Hua family now, and asked them if they would marry a daughter, and if they didn't marry, let his son quickly marry someone else. But he was reluctant, what a good girl the daughter of the Hua family next door was, what if this could really happen? It's good for the Shen family and for his son.

For this, he endured.

Shen Laibao went out after dinner, the door of Pan's house was open, and the plate that was stretching his waist at the door smiled brightly when he saw him. Last night he agreed to go to the lotus pond, but early in the morning he came with explosive news, I really don't know how he could look at himself with such a smile and cheekiness.

He shook his head and walked over to clench his fists, "Congratulations to the groom." ”

The plate also clenched his fists, "Thank you very much, you must come to drink the wedding wine on that day, I won't send the invitation, and I will directly vacate five tables for you, and they will be arranged in front." ”

Shen Laibao looked at him, "You even thought about this?" ”

"Of course, this is a big deal in my marriage." The plate said, "I'll tell you something funny, I heard that as soon as the official media sent by my grandfather to the Tan family talked about this family business, Tan Xin cried and wanted to hang himself." Oops, it's a pity that I was saved. ”

It's not that I'm rescued, but it's a pity that I've been rescued. The meaning of a word is very different, and he can't hear the future husband's love for his wife at all, Shen Laibao is sure that he really married Tan Xin because he hated her

The Hua family has never liked to inquire about news outside, so when the whole alley knew about the plate to marry a wife, Hua Lang and Hua Ling didn't know yet. When they came out, they saw the plate looking at them with a smile on their faces, as if they were looking forward to it. However, the brother and sister didn't like to join in this kind of fun, so they said directly, "Let's go, go to the lotus pond." ”

The plate, which didn't get the attention it deserved, frowned, followed quickly, and smiled at the two of them again. The two looked at each other and asked, "Plate, are you uncomfortable?" ”

The plate almost swore dirty, but Shen Laibao said, "The plate is going to get married, the sixth day of the sixth month of June." ”

Hua Ling was surprised, "Could it be with Miss Tan?" ”

"Oh, I'll just say that Little Flower Girl is the smartest, but it's not her. When I marry her back, I'll slap you every day. ”

Hua Ling was speechless for a moment.

Hua Lang also felt surprised and inexplicable, and felt even more angry, "I told you all night that day, and you said that you would not be willful, but why did you do it again?" If you marry her, you will not only harm the Pan family, but also you! ”

"Where will it hurt me, I will harm her." The plate plucked his ears, "Okay, don't rely on the fact that the lotus flowers are still buds, so you don't need to go over to see them early, the green lotus leaves are also very beautiful." ”

The three of them have long had nothing to do with him, and the family matter has been decided, the eight characters have been taken, and the dowry has also been sent over. So the brothers and sisters of the Hua family have stopped persuading, and Shen Laibao still wants to talk about it, but the plate doesn't listen at all.

The lotus pond is in the city, and it takes more than half an hour for the four of them to walk there, and they don't feel that the journey is long. The plate was reluctant to mention his marriage, and talked about many topics, and when he arrived at the lotus pond, he saw an endless green landscape.

In early summer, the lotus flowers are not yet in full bloom, and the pink buds stand on top of a green bowl, which is different from the scenery when they are in full bloom. There are very few tourists at this time, but the four of them are full of interest, there are many people, and what they see is people, not flowers.

The boatman arranged by Shen Laibao last night was already waiting there, and before he could arrange it, the plate pulled Hua Lang to ride, and when he urged the boatman to leave the shore, he looked at the two people on the shore with a smile and a meaningful expression.

The plate is always openly and secretly matching Shen Laibao and Hua Ling, and the two of them can't see it.

It's just that this lotus pond has many men and women traveling together, just like the Lantern Festival and Qixi Festival, and no one will laugh at the relationship when it is told to the world. Shen Laibao stepped into the boat first, steadied his feet and stretched out his hand, "Xiaohua." ”

Hua Ling looked at his outstretched hand, and the palm of his hand could still see the cocoon that usually practiced swords. She grabbed only one of his fingers and walked over the way.

With a pressure on his feet, the boat shook, and the water rippled at the bottom of the boat. Hua Ling lost her gravity a little, her body shook, and Shen Laibao was busy stabilizing her, for fear that she would fall.

The flower bell was almost pressed against his chest, and his face suddenly turned crimson, and he shook his hand and leaned into the canopy. Shen Laibao smiled and sat outside the canopy to look at her, "Little flower." ”

When Hua Ling was young, he called Xiaohua Xiaohua She didn't think it was anything, but now she is in time, he still shouts Xiaohua Xiaohua, she feels her heart beating hard every time she listens, definitely not shy, but shy. She looked at him with wide eyes, "Brother Lai Bao, don't call me Xiaohua anymore." ”

Shen Laibao said unexpectedly, "Why?" ”

What a unique name, and he was the only one who shouted it. If he is beaten by the crowd on the street in the future, he calls Xiaohua, and she can hear it immediately, how good.

"Childish

。 ”

Shen Laibao said, "I didn't allow the plate to call you like this before, and you are not allowed to come." ”

Hua Ling twisted the handkerchief in her hand, "It's not okay to shout outside." ”

Shen Laibao instantly understood, and smiled, this is saying - in the future, at home, whatever you want.

Oooh! That's perfectly acceptable to him.

Hua Ling said this unintentionally, the original intention was that he couldn't shout like this when there were outsiders, but he could in private, it can be seen that he was smiling with a galaxy in his eyes, so he reacted, and his face suddenly rose. She sat low, buried her head in her lap, and muffled, "Ignore you." ”

"Xiaohua, you changed the hairpin again, this pair is repeated."

Hua Ling raised her eyes and looked at him through the gap between her arms, "Then are you going to give me a new one?" ”

"Not this time."

Hua Ling was slightly disappointed, she still hoped that he could always send hairpins for a lifetime. Instead of giving something else because the relationship has changed, even if it is more valuable, delicate and chic than hairpins.

Shen Laibao handed her a small box, the box was as small as the box containing hairpins, Hua Ling didn't take it immediately, looked at it several times and asked, "Are the earrings tick?" ”

"It's not."

"Is that a bead?"

Shen Laibao looked at her with a slight smile, "No." This is something more meaningful than hairpins. ”

Hua Ling pouted, "If you give a gift, nothing can compare to a hairpin." Brother Noble, you will always send hairpins in the future. ”

Shen Laibao asked, "Why?" ”

"Probably that means...... Don't forget the original intention. ”

The original intention was to like her mind, what she wanted was not hairpins, but the first thing he remembered to give her to the girl's house, and he had been sending it for so many years. If you want to send it, send it to Sansheng III.

"I promise you, hairpins will be sent, and other things you like, I will also send them." Shen Laibao still didn't take the box back, "It's just this, the meaning is different." ”

His gaze is sincere and steady, and Hua Ling is tempting, compared to him when he is younger, he is a little more calm. This kind of calmness makes the girl's heart even more excited. She took the box, opened it carefully, and saw what was inside, but felt inexplicable.

On the brocade of this box, there is a silver ring. The ring is still silver, carved with leaf patterns, simple and chic. The silver ring was adorned with a small emerald, and the silver was so cleverly melted that it enclosed one-third of the gem and exposed two-thirds of it. She had never seen anything like this in a jewelry store.

"Brother Noble, you treat me as an old woman, and you can't give a wrench when you look good."

Shen Laibao smiled, "It's not a wrench, where is the wrench so small." ”

Hua Ling carefully identified it again, and suddenly, "It turned out to be a thimble." But the thimble made of silver is not used, but there is no ...... of precious stones."

As she spoke, she became puzzled again, and had to wait for him to explain. Shen Laibao took the ring that was specially made by craftsmen, if it wasn't for the scarcity of materials, he still wanted to set diamonds, "Xiaohua, this is what I saw in foreign chronicles, if a man wants to propose to the girl he likes, he will give a ring." If the girl agrees, she will accept the ring. ”

He knew that her mother had relented, otherwise she would not let Hua Ling meet him as always, so he had a little more confidence, as long as she nodded, he would ask the matchmaker to come to the door to ask for marriage

But as a modern person, he doesn't want to just rely on matchmakers, so before that, he wants to formally propose to Hua Ling.

In this quiet and fragrant lotus pond, make a lifelong agreement with the flower bell.

"I don't want Dayang's customs, I prefer to learn something exotic, why haven't I heard of it."

Shen Laibao can't come back, he can't make up a lie just to give the ring. Suddenly, he heard Hua Ling call himself again, and Shen Laibao looked at her face again, "Xiaohua, I don't want to just rely on a matchmaker to come to the door to ask for a marriage, the person who wants to marry you is me, if I can, I will handle this matter from beginning to end." It's just that the custom is like this, so I still have to ask the matchmaker. But before she came to the door, I wanted to come and propose to you seriously, watch you accept the ring, and nod in agreement. ”

Hua Ling didn't know why he could always say these "out-of-the-ordinary" words, even if it was a man, he was really too bold. And which family is not calling the matchmaker to marry, knowing each other's intentions, why bother to verify again. She didn't understand, but she still respected his idea.

Besides, if the marriage was so chic, she was also happy in her heart.

She watched Shen Laibao take the ring for a long time, and slowly reached out to take it. But he was gently holding him, not knowing what he was going to do.

Shen Laibao took the ring and slowly threaded it into her ring finger, because he didn't take her to see the craftsman in person, so he could only determine the size based on his description. So he didn't know if it was right or not. It's okay if it's big, and it can wrap the thread, but if it's small, you can't change it.

Fortunately, the ring was successfully worn on her finger, not tightly entangled and not big, but it was very suitable.

Shen Laibao breathed a sigh of relief, the hand in his hand was slender and white, and he was so warm that he wanted him to kiss it. He finally held back, "Xiaohua, tomorrow, tomorrow I'll go find the best matchmaker in the city, okay?" ”

Hua Ling's eyelashes swept and she looked at the canopy, "My mother won't allow me to marry early." ”

"What about the marriage first?"

Hua Ling looked at him, "Are you afraid that I will run away?" ”

Shen Laibao smiled, "I'm afraid, then you're not afraid of me running away?" ”

Hua Ling glared, "You dare." ”

"Don't dare." Shen Laibao was amused by her appearance, "Let's get married first, then you can marry whenever you want." And if you are married, you don't have to hide it like this, I want to see you, but I'm afraid that you will be criticized. So it's better to see each other openly and openly, it's good for you. ”

Hua Ling felt that he was in a hurry, but she didn't expect him to be in a hurry, and the starting point was also for herself. She felt that her heart was floating, and only one sentence echoed in her mind, marry, she wanted to marry him.

Yes, she was afraid that he would run away, and that something irresistible would happen in the future and the marriage would change.

Shen Laibao was still sitting outside the canopy, looking at her side face, as beautiful as white jade, and the slightly dim canopy couldn't hide her light, "Xiaohua, okay?" ”

Hua Ling rested her chin on her knee again and tilted her head to look at him. The person in front of him didn't mean to joke at all, his eyes were steady and sincere, which made people's hearts pound. This time, she didn't turn her head away from shame again, just because she wanted to reply to him solemnly once.

When a "um" sound fell, she saw that his eyes were full of joy and affection, and she smiled when she saw it, and finally lowered her head shyly, hugged her knees and smiled.
