Chapter 277: Marriage Proposal

At this time, Lin Qi didn't know that she had become a sweet spot in the eyes of the two parties, not only was she remembered, but a storm was about to start.

At this time, she was sitting on the warm kang in the South Garden, holding her cheeks and looking at the scenery outside the window in a daze, thinking of what Huo Yuan had said to her that day, her face burned red again, thinking of the harmony and beauty of the eldest sister after she got married, she began to look forward to Huo Yuan coming to propose.

As for the man's family background, she doesn't care, whether it's a wealthy family or an ordinary family, anyway, she has a lot of silver in her hands, and the eldest sister and the second sister are not stingy people, her dowry must be very rich.

Thinking of this, there was a bit of dreamy color in her eyes, and when she thought about it, someone knocked a chestnut on the top of her head, and she came back to her senses and pouted: "Who is it?" ”

Lin Long, who was holding his eldest son on the other side, said angrily: "Who else can I have besides your sister?" What about this broad daylight, what are you in a daze, there is no response to call you several times, and the girl's family doesn't know what she is thinking? ”

Hearing the eldest sister's nagging, Lin Qi dared to be really angry, and hurriedly said with a smile: "I'm thinking of a new recipe, but it's all disrupted by you." ”

Lin Long glanced at her, come less, what is the new recipe? This new product of the Jade Skin Workshop, which one was not figured out by her, she just started at most, and so far she has not seen her independently develop a useful beauty prescription. "Don't give me a sloppy look, the more you learn this rule, the more unseemly it becomes, I don't worry that you will marry when the time comes, and when the time comes, it will not be a marriage or a feud, and I will not be killed by your future husband's family."

She is not seventy or eighty years old, but she has to worry about this, the eldest sister is embarrassed. For her younger siblings, she admits that she sometimes worries too much, but the elders of the Lin family are unreliable, and the Lin Lu family started as a concubine even if she straightens it, who cares if she doesn't worry about it?

Quan Meihuan, who was teasing her little grandson in her arms, suddenly felt guilty, she was stupid before, which made her eldest daughter pick up this burden, "It's all bad for my mother, if I didn't have lard at that time and remarried, I wouldn't want Sister Long to be a mother......"

Lin Long was impatient to hear her mention these old things, this has changed without remarriage, what are you still talking about to this day? Then he pushed the teacup in front of her, "Take a sip of tea." ”

Lin Qi was not as subtle as his own sister, and said directly: "I am most annoying to you like this, there is no regret in this world to take medicine, I have done everything, can I turn back?" Don't take it out again in the future and read it so that it makes people's ears callous, so that you won't be interesting and we won't be interesting, you have to remember it. By the way, do you really want to live with Huo Yan's old horseman? ”

At the mention of Huo Yan, the ladies of the Lin family present all turned pale.

Lin Lushi is not good at interjecting on this occasion, no matter what, this is Quan Meihuan's private matter, she can't cross the line to care, and besides, there is no room for her to care.

Quan Meihuan is still the same set of rhetoric, in fact, she is also thinking very clearly now, if she really wants to reconcile, where is her place? When I went back to the Lin family, I was beating my ex-husband in the face, and I believe that Lin Zejiuquan would not want to see her, which was a great humiliation for Lin Ze.

Lin Long didn't speak, bowed her head and fed the eldest son in her arms with water, this is all a clichΓ©, and she can't convince Quan Meihuan, so she can only go.

Lin Qi simply snorted lightly, "It's up to you, anyway, I don't care about annoying." ”

Quan Meihuan smiled, no longer answered, saying that there were many mistakes, this little daughter had a poisonous mouth and a soft heart, and when she saw the little grandson in her arms seeing her brother drinking water, she also stretched out her little hand to the cup on the low table, and screamed several times, and raised a pair of eager eyes to stare at her, she suddenly softened her heart, and also fed the little grandson water to drink.

Living in the Hou Mansion for the past two days, the happiest thing is to be able to get close to the two grandsons every day, no wonder people like to tease their grandchildren when they are old, she only now realizes that kind of mood, if she is still the mother of the Lin family, how good it would be. When her son grows up and marries a wife, she will be able to enjoy Qingfu, unlike now, what does Huo Yuan have to do with marrying a wife and having children? I'm afraid that Huo Yuan's wife and her will be mortal enemies, and with Huo Zhou's old immortal in the middle, she feels that she and Huo Yuan's future wife will not get along.

sighed slightly, when Huo Zhou's family asked her to look at Huo Yuan's wife, she thought about taking the opportunity to choose someone with a soft and non-radical personality, and her life could be better, but in the end, this wife matter, without her hands, what kind of wife Huo Yuan marries, she has no right to speak.

There is no need to take out this secret matter of her, let the two daughters worry about her, and when the time comes, she will see her step by step, hoping that Huo Zhou's eyes will not be dizzy, and she will marry a dominatrix in order to enter the door.

Lin Qi also had something on her mind, she deliberately approached the direction of her sister and rubbed it.

Lin Long glanced at her, this little girl's tail was cocked, and she knew what she was going to do, "Say, what do you ask for?" ”

Lin Qi salivated and said, "Sister, I have someone I like......

Before the words were finished, the women present, including Lin Long, all looked at her.

Lin Lu was taken aback, and glanced at Lin Long quickly, she couldn't watch this topic on the wall, "Sister Qi, you can't talk nonsense, I am with you every day, and I haven't seen any man close to you, where did the person you like come from?" This girl's family is most afraid of marrying the wrong man, you are still young, so you are not in a hurry to get out of the cabinet......"

Lin Long listened to Lin Lu's explanation, and her face softened slightly, in her eyes, her sister-in-law is still young, where do she know what men are good and what men are bad? This is not a joke if someone cheats you out of money and loses money. Thinking of this, her expression suddenly became more stern, and she called the nurse in, and handed over the eldest son in her arms and the younger son in Quan Meihuan's arms to the nurse and carried them out.

Regardless of the two boys' attachment to her and calling her mother one by one, her sister's affairs are the top priority at this time, she soothed the two sons, and waited for the mother to deal with your aunt's confused accounts, and then hugged you, good.

The two sons hung their heads and were hugged by the nurse.

For a while, the atmosphere in the warm pavilion was very stiff.

Quan Meihuan is also anxious, but she doesn't get along with her daughter every day like Lin Lu's, and she doesn't know how to persuade in detail? But as a mother-in-law, can she not care? "Sister Qi, don't mess around, this is about the reputation of your daughter's family, if something ugly comes out, your whole life will be ruined, and your mother is a lesson from the past......"

She is planted on this, and she can't stand up anymore, otherwise where can she bend to Huo Yan again? She has long lost the love of her youth for him, and now she is just living together.

"You give me an honest confession, who is that person's name, what kind of family does he do, who else is there, and how do you know him......" Lin Long was not so easy to dismiss, and immediately asked the point.

Lin Qi looked at the anxiety on the faces of the three women, the eldest sister asked too carefully, she couldn't answer, for a long time, she could only smile and say, "This...... I don't know ......."

"I don't know, you dare to say that you have someone you like? Qi'er, sister has always thought that you are not stupid, why are you stupid in this matter? I don't know the details of the other party, do you dare to like him? In case he already has a beautiful wife and concubine at home, what do I think you should do? This is not a business, why can't you figure it out? Lin Long hated iron but not steel.

Can this like a mess of likes? If she likes someone who can't be liked, won't her sister cry to death?

At this moment, she didn't know that she was a prophecy, but she just said the hidden worries in her heart and tried to persuade her sister to wake up.

"This like is like, what can I do." Lin Qi crossed his fingers and said, originally he said that he wanted to inform his family in advance, so that they could be mentally prepared, so as not to scare them too suddenly.

Now seeing the reaction of the three of them, she didn't dare to say the other party's surname Huo, what if the eldest sister didn't agree to their marriage because his surname was the same as Huo Yan's, what would she do? From beginning to end, she didn't associate this person with Huo Yan, so she firmly believed that her beloved would definitely not be the one of the Huo family, God would not play with her like this, definitely not.

was too sure that she would be thundered, and at this time, Lin Qi didn't know that she had really encountered this almost impossible coincidence.

In fact, she also thought about suing the eldest sister and asking her to check the man's family history, but whether she was poor or rich, she identified that person, and it didn't matter if the family was checked or not, anyway, when he came to propose, she wouldn't know, what did it matter if she knew it early or later?

"How could you be so confused?" Lin Long said angrily.

Lin Qi smiled, "Sister, he was met by me at the first birthday banquet of the two eldest nephews that day, do you remember what I didn't see?" I didn't tell the truth at the time, and if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to sit here now......"

She omitted the first acquaintance with Huo Yuan, and only mentioned that she was in distress, and slightly exaggerated Huo Yuan's bravery, just to brush her sweetheart favorability in front of the three closest relatives.

"Sister, you said that he saved me so heroically at that time, and it is understandable that I lost my heart on him, can I not like such a hero?" Her cheeks began to flush again as she thought of that scene, "I met him again afterwards and got his help, he said...... He's going to send someone to propose to me......"

With that, she hung her head shyly.

Lin Long clenched the tea bowl tightly, digesting the large amount of information that his sister said.

Even though Quan Meihuan was worried, she couldn't say anything against it, she could understand the mood of her youngest daughter liking a person, when she was as old as her youngest daughter, she also liked Huo Yan regardless of it, and she was ashamed to shout that she wanted to marry him, in this regard, it is estimated that the youngest daughter followed her, but the eldest daughter was more like her dead ex-husband.

Lin Lushi was also searching his stomach and thinking about the foreign man that Lin Qi had recently contacted, hoping to find out the traces, when she thought of Commander Xiao, she couldn't help but exclaim, this Commander Xiao also attended the first birthday banquet that day, so she still pulled Lin Qi's hand, "Sister Qi, you won't fall in love with the Xiao family, this can't be stupid, he has to shoulder two rooms, and marrying him will not be happy......"

"Erniang, where do you want to go, how can I like him?" Lin Qi responded with tears and laughter, "I'm not stupid, you all told me so much, and I will still be confused by him?" Erniang, you can rest assured that I will never think about Commander Xiao. ”

Lin Lushi breathed a sigh of relief and patted Lin Qi's hand, she has also seen a lot of people who don't care about love will not end well in the end, people can't be so selfish, otherwise they will harm others and themselves. "That's good, that's good, I'm afraid you'll fall in love with Commander Xiao like that, it's not that he's not good, but his family's conditions for marrying a wife, which family who really cares for their daughter will agree to marry their daughter in?"

This Xiao Commander is not a good match.

Lin Long straightened out his sister's words, and then said, "You don't want him to marry?" ”

Lin Qi nodded without thinking, "No matter where he comes from, as long as he comes to propose, I will marry him." ”

Lin Long frowned, this is not easy to persuade, if a woman is stupid, it will rain in the sky, and her mother can't persuade her to marry like a woman, not to mention that she doesn't know the man's origin at all now, how to persuade her? Of course, she has a very bad impression of this unknown man in her heart, and the crime of abducting a woman from a good family is one more degree.

Huo Yuan, who was busy proposing marriage, couldn't help but sneeze, and Huo Zhou, who was discussing marriage with him, hurriedly asked his grandson with concern, but what was uncomfortable?

Huo Yuan shook his head, not knowing who was talking bad about him behind his back.

The atmosphere in the South Garden Warm Pavilion of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion is still inactive, Lin Lu has something to say, Lin Long gave this two niang a look, some things are not suitable to say more now, first, my sister is on the rise, and I can't persuade her; secondly, I don't know the identity of the other party, and if I want to oppose it, it is like a punch on cotton, and I can't find the point; Third, if you want to solve this mystery, you still have to wait until you know the identity of the man.

The people who can come to her son's first birthday banquet are not from ordinary backgrounds, and these are also the scope of her consideration, after all, she only has one sister, how can she be willing to let her be unsatisfactory? What's more, she still has the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion behind her, so she has to find a good marriage for her sister.

Lin Lushi was instructed by Lin Long's eyes, so he swallowed back the words that had reached his throat, and his hand was tightly rolled with a handkerchief, so he could only be in a hurry.

Lin Qi looked at the expressions of the three closest relatives back and forth, but her mother's expression was not so tense, she immediately looked at her mother gratefully, and her mother was still more enlightened in this regard.

Lin Long does not intend to take high-pressure tough measures, this is no better than my sister not listening to her words and leaving the house without permission, this is a lifelong event, we must take soft countermeasures, otherwise we will suffer a strong backlash from this sister who eats soft and does not eat hard, hard can only be a bad thing, before she reached out to hold her sister's hand, "Qi'er, you said that you like him, sister doesn't say anything about you now, after all, I don't know what the origin of the family is, so I can't think about it for you, if he has a heart for you, he will come to the door to propose, and my sister will wait for the time to palm your eyes." ”

Lin Qi was originally mentally prepared to listen to the eldest sister's nagging, how did he know that the eldest sister did not play the cards this time, and said it so reasonably, the smile on his face was bigger, "Sister, if he doesn't come to propose marriage to me, you will be a man who I haven't said this, and I can't even keep my promises, I, Lin Qi, don't marry him, at most, when I'm blind and look at the wrong person, I understand the truth of the wife and concubine of this hire." If he comes, as long as his character can pass the test, his sister will have to ask his sister to fulfill it. ”

Lin Long heard his sister keep mentioning only her character, not her family background, obviously she really liked others, and suddenly she felt a feeling that my family had a girl growing up, and in a blink of an eye, her sister had reached the age when she should become a wife, even if she was married for another year or two, she would still marry someone else's wife.

"Let's talk about it then, we have to give your sister to find out who the man is, how can he marry you out of a daze?" Lin Long said.

Lin Qi's eyes were moved, and he wrapped his hands around the eldest sister's neck, "Sister, you are so good." ”

Lin Long patted the little sister's back, but she began to think slowly in her heart, no matter what, this sister-in-law still has to take the school exam well, and when the time comes, she will have to ask her husband to secretly check that this man has bad habits or ugly things that cannot be seen, and there are many places to worry about.

Quan Meihuan and Lin Lushi glanced at each other, and they both saw worry in each other's eyes, this little daughter's marriage was the most worrying, and the two were in the same state of mind.

I'll leave that aside for now.

Lin Qi was moved, and then she restrained her feelings, she finally had a sweetheart, and naturally hoped to get the approval and blessing of her family, after all, this is the best person in the world for her. After the relationship calmed down, she changed the topic and looked at Quan Meihuan with two eyes, "I heard that your stepson has a habit of breaking sleeves?" ”

"It's a rumor, I can't believe it." Quan Meihuan didn't believe that Huo Yuan had this hobby, even if he hadn't married a wife at this age, no one understood better than her how much this stepson cared about the family, how could she let herself cut off the heir and shame the family?

Lin Qi's face was slightly disappointed, "I thought he was a good man, wouldn't it be the best for you to do this?" You don't have to marry a wicked daughter-in-law and hate you, and when the time comes, you will torture you with that old pious woman, how will you live? ”

She felt that her worries were not superfluous, Huo Zhou's family could torture Quan Meihuan like this now, if she got her granddaughter-in-law, she was afraid that it would become even worse.

Lin Long's eyes also sank, but she was a married woman in the end, not as simple as the little sister, "Qi'er thinks too much, this stepwife is married by Ming Media, naturally she is her mother-in-law, as long as she holds up her mother-in-law's shelf, and she doesn't want to be detained with a reputation for unfilial piety, she won't dare to join forces with Huo Zhou's family to stumble on you." Looking at Quan Meihuan, "As long as you don't be weak at that time, it will be, otherwise don't blame people for picking soft persimmons to pinch." ”

Quan Meihuan knew that the two daughters were temperamental and did not dare to suffer, she was too weak before, so she would let Huo Zhou's step on the top of her head, "If it really comes to that day, if she respects me, I will not look for her, if she wants to stir up trouble, I will accompany her, you can rest assured, I still occupy the title of mother-in-law." ”

When the Lin sisters heard their mother's oath, they could only rest assured for the time being, otherwise what could they do? Let Quan Meihuan reconcile and leave, Quan Meihuan refuses, this day has to go on after all.

While a few people were talking, the voice of the next person came from outside the curtain, saying that Huo Yan was coming.

When Lin Long heard this, he glanced at Quan Meihuan, "He's here to pick you up." ”

Kwon Meihuan got up and straightened her sleeves, "I'll go back with him." ”

It's been a few days, and she doesn't think he's late, anyway, for this man, there is no love heart, so there is nothing to worry about.

"Wait, I'll go with you, if you don't have a guarantee, I won't let you go back to the Huo family." Lin Long also went to get his shoes.

Not only Lin Long, but Lin Qi and Lin Lushi also went together, but they moved Quan Meihuan.

In the main hall of the reception, Huo Yan was in front of the Lin sisters, and his anger was somewhat restrained, this is the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, he will not cause disaster to his son, or bring Quan Meihuan back to let his son calm his anger.

Lin Long carefully looked at the guarantee with Huo Yan's handprint, and after a while, he handed the guarantee to his sister, and looked at Huo Yan with a straight face, "If you do something to her again, Huo Yan, I will definitely not be as good at talking as this time." ”

Huo Yan thought to himself that she was my wife, I would treat her how I loved her, and it was the turn of the two little girls to denounce her? This is also the reason why he doesn't like the Lin family's daughter, it's just that the shape is stronger than people, and he can't be tough on this occasion, after all, he doesn't do the stupid thing of an egg touching a stone.

"That's for sure."

Quan Meihuan didn't look at this husband at a glance, and she didn't pay too much attention to his assurance, Huo Yan had a knot, always thinking that she couldn't forget Lin Ze, in fact, why didn't he want to think about it, if she really thought about Lin Ze back then, how could she remarry him? It's just that his suspicion consumed her affection vividly, and finally made her realize what an unsightly man he was.

"Sister Long, Sister Qi, I'll go with his house and meet you another day."

Lin Long didn't say anything, just put away the guarantee, since her biological mother wanted to go back, she would not stop her from before.

Lin Qi said unhappily: "You should be careful. ”

Quan Meihuan reached out and gently pinched her little daughter's face, "I know." ”

Lin Qi patted her hand unhappily, "I'm not a child anymore." ”

Quan Meihuan smiled, in her heart, these two children will always be children.

Huo Yan's hands were clenched into fists, and he really didn't like to see their mother and daughter close, so he urged impatiently, and habitually wanted to do it again, but he lowered his hand in Lin Longru's cold eyes, and walked out with Quan Meihuan in his hand.

"The old puppet who cannibalistic abomination." Lin Qi scolded behind his back.

Lin Lu hurriedly patted her hand and asked her to fix some morality.

"I said it, what's wrong?" Lin Qi replied stiffly.

"Come on, it's not worth committing karma for those people." Lin Long said, "I hope he can really restrain himself." ”

Lin Qi thought about it and shrugged his shoulders.

In the carriage, Huo Yan and Quan Meihuan sat separately.

"Huo Yan, if you make a move on me again, don't blame me for not thinking about the love between husband and wife, think about your son who is about to get married, no matter how worthless my stepmother is, she can still support the faΓ§ade for you." Quan Meihuan didn't want her two daughters to fall for her, so she had a showdown with Huo Yan to negotiate conditions.

Huo Yan pursed his lips unhappily, "Did I hit you now?" It's not nothing, what else do you want? Come on, for Brother Yuan's marriage, I will treat you well. ”

"You'd better remember what you've said." Kwon Mei Huan is colorful.

Huo Yan snorted lightly in response.

Kwon Mi-hwan turned her head to the side, disdainful of accosting him.

After Huo Yuan saw his father bring people back, he relieved himself, he had the right to be beautiful, and this scene was better.

Quan Meihuan didn't expect Huo Yuan to have a marriage partner so soon, the grandparents didn't invite her to go over to discuss, she had to inquire about the woman's family background in private.

Her maid Xiaohong has always been a mouthful, of course, she can't ask for some news to listen to her.

As soon as Quan Meihuan heard the woman's family name Lin, she couldn't help but "chuckle", so she hurriedly asked the other party's family background, and heard that it was the daughter of a silk merchant, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt really ridiculous, how could she think of the object of Huo Yuan's request to kiss as a little daughter, these two people can't beat each other.

"No matter who he wants to marry, he will be up to me if he doesn't deceive me." She hangs down the new needle and flies the thread, planning to make a winter coat for her two grandsons.

"Madam, that's not what you said, it's good to act only when you know the details." Xiaohong is holding a feather duster that is sweeping the furniture.

Quan Meihuan looked up at her and smiled, "You have a lot of ghost ideas, okay, don't break your mouth when you go out, so as to save yourself from causing unwarranted disasters like that day." ”

"Got it, ma'am." Little Red smiled in response.

Quan Meihuan still has a little love for this big girl, and after getting along for a long time, this girl also has a heart for her, and she was beaten by Huo Yan for this. Thinking of this, she thought that in the future, she would have to give this big girl a good family.

As the saying goes, no book is written without coincidence, and some truths have to be revealed.

Choosing an auspicious day to propose, Huo Yuan thought that his old grandmother was not good at doing things, his father and stepmother were unreliable, his own family was backward, and there were few uncles and aunts who came out of his family, not to mention his grandfather's family, which was also a person from the powerful family, since his sister caused this catastrophe, his grandfather's family almost never had anything to do with his family, even if he returned to Beijing, he had only seen it twice, not to mention that they would come forward for his family affairs.

So after thinking about it again, he decided that it would be better for him to personally accompany the iceman to the door to propose marriage.

This Huo Yuan decided to go to propose marriage in person, Lin Qi of the party did not receive the news, but Xiao Fulin knew it as soon as possible, holding the piece of paper in both hands, he smiled coldly, put it on the fire and burned it to ashes, and said to the little servant beside him: "Go and sue Mrs. SΓΉ, just say that I have chosen the day of the proposal, and I will go in person that day." ”

Therefore, the Lin family ushered in the two parties to propose marriage on that day.

Xiao Liu didn't know his son's thoughts, but when he got out of the carriage, he frowned when he saw Huo Yuan and the iceman, and then said to his son: "What is this General Huo doing here?" Isn't he at odds with the Lin family? ”

Xiao Fulin glanced at Huo Yuan coldly, and lightly "shh ”

Xiao Liu's brows furrowed even tighter, what the hell is his son doing?

Huo Yuan also discovered Xiao Fulin's mother and son, and with just one glance, he discovered the intention of the Xiao family, and snorted lightly, he understands the truth of a good girl's request, but this surnamed Xiao is really cheeky, Lin Qi had already rejected him that day, and he was embarrassed to come to the door to propose?

After the two greeted each other with a smile, they immediately walked side by side towards the main hall of the Lin family without giving in.
