Chapter 119: Marriage Proposal
Li Luan'er's originally ugly face immediately turned into a happy smile.
Since coming to ancient times, Li Luan'er also had the idea of hot springs, when she was in Fenghuang County, she also deliberately looked for hot springs, but in the end she found nothing, who knew that she had entered the capital, she had not deliberately looked for it, and this hot spring appeared in front of her.
It turned out that Li Luan'er and Mrs. Jin discussed buying a good soil Zhuangzi and not planting crops, but planting all kinds of flowers, and using these flowers to make all kinds of rouge gouache, so as to make a gouache shop or something.
What can you do with hot springs?
Nine out of ten have to answer that in addition to soaking in hot springs, you can also grow out-of-season vegetables.
In ancient times, there was no greenhouse, if you want to eat a bite of fresh vegetables in winter, you can only plant it by the hot spring, many large families try their best to find a hot spring village, and they may not be able to soak in it a few times a year, and the biggest use of this hot spring is to grow vegetables.
Many green vegetables such as bok choy, leeks, and spinach can be grown by the hot springs, and although the yield is not high, it is feasible for a large family to eat a few bites from time to time.
Li Luan'er walked towards the place where there was a hot spring, and observed carefully, and found that the closer to the hot spring, the better the soil quality, especially the underground hot spring, the soil quality is not bad, at least the vegetables are grown.
This discovery made Li Luan'er even happier.
At this time, she had already made up her mind, she must buy this Zhuangzi, and then build a village here, in the future, she can not only soak in hot springs, grow vegetables, but also practice physical arts.
Li Luan'er was right, she had tried it in the last days, and if the body forging technique was practiced in the hot spring, the effect would be much better than in other places.
Li Luan'er raised her eyes and looked around, and saw that this Zhuangzi was close to a small mountain, although the mountain was not big, but there were still some trees and plants on the mountain, and she sent out her spiritual power, and found that there were many medicinal materials on this mountain, although it was not a lot of precious medicinal materials, but it was rare that there were indeed many medicinal materials, and if you picked them, they could also be sold for some money.
In addition, there is a stream flowing at the foot of the mountain, and the water is very clear, and the bottom of the stream is paved with pebbles of various colors, which looks beautiful.
After looking at it like this, Li Luan'er suddenly fell in love with this place, and she was about to withdraw her spiritual power, but she found that there was a silver light flashing at the bottom of the stream, and Li Luan'er immediately paid attention.
She let her spiritual power go straight upstream along the stream, and found a pool of living water at the source of the stream, but it turned out to be a clear spring, and when this clear spring emerged from the ground, it kept flashing silver.
Li Luan'er was a little curious, so she let her spiritual power gather underground, and she was even more pleasantly surprised when she saw it.
It turned out that there was a silver mine near Qingquan, this mountain...... Where is an ordinary mountain, it is simply a silver mountain.
In an instant, Li Luan'er decided to buy this Zhuangzi, and also to buy several nearby mountains, the silver mountains have been discovered, who knows if there are other mineral gems.
Seeing that she was silent, the official thought that Li Luan'er was not satisfied with this Zhuangzi, so he hurriedly laughed and said: "If the eldest lady thinks it is not good, let's go elsewhere to see, there is a Sanliuzhuang more than ten miles away, where the land is fertile, but the price is much higher than here." ”
Li Luan'er came back to her senses, withdrew her spiritual power, and smiled at the official teeth: "That's not necessary, I didn't buy Zhuangzi to plant crops, but to build a house, and then plant some flowers and plants, I found some flowers and grass seeds from foreign lands, this kind of seed is very easy to survive, but you don't need more fertile land." ”
"That's good, that's good." The official tooth hurriedly wiped a handful of sweat, and said in his heart that this Li Niangzi is not very old, and she looks like this, but when she sank her face, it made people feel so scared, if it weren't for the fact that the owner of this peach blossom village gave more money to the Yaxing economy, he really didn't want to come out of this.
Now it's good that all the land that is so difficult to send is gone, but it makes him go to a heart disease.
"How many taels of silver does this Zhuangzi cost?" Since she decided to buy it, Li Luan'er naturally wanted to inquire about the price clearly, she asked, while pointing to a few small hills not far away: "Are there any owners of those mountains?" I looked at this place by the mountains and rivers, and I wanted to put this mountain and the stream under the mountain under it all under my name, and if the mountain has no owner, I still have to ask me how to operate. ”
The official tooth hurriedly agreed, and smiled without seeing his teeth: "Li Niangzi, the hill near Zhuangzi is from Peach Blossom Village, if you want to buy Zhuangzi, naturally even the mountain is one, but the two mountains next to it are not Zhuangzi, however, these two mountains are also ownerless, if the lady wants to buy it, I will go to the yamen to help you ask the price." ”
"That's good." Li Luan'er nodded, and listened to the official again: "As for this Peach Blossom Village, there are a total of 360 acres of land, because the soil quality is not good, the price is naturally not high, three taels of silver per acre, a total of 1,080 taels." ”
"It's a good price." Li Luan'er smiled: "That's it, you help me scare the two mountains, and then help me ask the owner of this Peach Blossom Village, when the time comes, I will even buy the two mountains with Peach Blossom Village." ”
"That's done." As soon as he heard that he had extra money to make, the official tooth was naturally more cheerful, and immediately flattered Li Luan'er: "Look at the big lady is doing big things, that is, this mind is different from ordinary people, others buy land and grow crops, but the big lady grows flowers and plants, the real gentleman is self-styled, and the big industry is bought without blinking an eye, and he really compares those stingy ones to the mud." ”
"Alright." Li Luan'er waved her hand: "You also praise me, I also know that there is a lot of water in your words, I know very well what kind of person I am, if you want to praise again, I will bargain with you." ”
"I'm talking too much." The frightened official quickly wiped his sweat and stopped, not daring to say a word more.
Li Luan'er turned around on the Zhuangzi again, seeing that the soil near the creek is also good, but it can grow flowers, this mood is better, and when it is almost over, Li Luan'er wants to call people home, but at this time, I heard the sound of horses' hooves coming in a hurry, Li Luan'er stopped and looked up, but saw that Ma Fang was riding a pony and was whipping up.
"Big lady." Seeing Li Luan'er, Ma Fang jumped off the horse with a look of urgency: "Hurry back, eldest lady, there is someone at home ......"
Before he finished speaking, Li Luan'er hurriedly called Ma Mao, and bowed his hand to the official: "Let's stop here today, you go back and help me inquire, when will I figure out when the matter is done, I will naturally give you money." ”
After speaking, he asked Ma Mao to drive the carriage, and he and Guanya got into the carriage and rushed all the way to the capital.
When Li Luan'er arrived home, she saw that the main door of the house was wide open, and many people were crowded in the front yard.
But Ma Xiaoya saw Li Luan'er and hurriedly dragged her inside: "The eldest lady is back, hurry up to the inner courtyard, Madame is in a hurry." ”
Li Luan'er followed Ma Xiaoya into the inner courtyard, but saw Ruizhu Ruifang, the two girls, guarding the courtyard, and saw Li Luan'er hurriedly saluting, Li Luan'er waved her hand and entered the hall.
Now Mrs. Jin is sitting in the hall, and next to her is a woman wearing jujube red clothes, dressed very neatly, the woman's hair is combed and oily, and she has a peach heart bun, a red peony hairpin on it, and a hairpin with a silver background inlaid with emeralds, a round face is coated with fat powder, which is very white, the eyebrows are thinly drawn, and the lips are painted with red rouge, looking at her appearance, I really can't see how old she is.
She is thirty or forty years old, and she looks like her, but there is no wrinkle on her face, and she looks so amiable when she smiles, but she is only in her twenties, and the shrewdness and ability in those eyes cannot be hidden.
Li Luan'er didn't know who this woman was, so she could only smile at her, and turned her head to look at Mrs. Jin again: "Madam hurriedly called me back, but what's the matter?" ”
Mrs. Jin smiled and pointed to the woman sitting with her: "This mother's surname is Zhu, and she is a well-known official media in the capital, so she came to propose marriage to you this time?" ”
"Give it to me?" Li Luan'er pointed to her nose in disbelief: "Madame, right, give me a kiss?" Didn't you propose to your brother? ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, you kid." Mrs. Jin scolded with a smile: "Your brother is a man, even if he proposes marriage, he should also be our family looking for a matchmaker and going to the woman's house to propose marriage, where is there any reason for a woman to propose marriage to a man." ”
Li Luan'er only then thought that now is not modern, and naturally there will be no reason for the woman to ask for marriage first.
She also felt that she was reckless, so she first confessed to the official media of Zhu: "Mother Zhu has been waiting for a long time, I just came back from outside, where do I want you to get old, but I am a little dizzy." ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhu official media hurriedly waved his hand to show that he didn't care, and looked Li Luan'er up and down: "It's strange that the old man is looking for me to propose marriage, I also said that Mrs. Li is such a charming character, and it can be regarded as an eye-opener when I see it today, the eldest lady is really Peugeot, look at this long, it really responds to what the book says is called, if you increase one point, you will be too fat, and if you lose one point, you will be too thin, it is really loved." ”
"You complimented you." Li Luan'er sat down and asked Duofu to pour her a cup of tea, she rushed back from outside and was really thirsty, and after drinking a few sips of tea, she had the heart to ask Mrs. Jin: "Madam, who is here to propose?" ”
Mrs. Jin smiled: "Who else can it be, Yan family." ”
As soon as she heard that it was the Yan family, Li Luan'er was really relieved, she was still thinking that Yan Chengyue had not moved since she confessed to her, was this person laughing casually, but now she regretted it, but she didn't expect that after many days, he actually found a matchmaker to come to the door, it seems that Yan Chengyue attaches great importance to this marriage, and at the same time, she also respects her.
"Yes, yes, it was General Yan who dragged me to the door to propose." Zhu's official media smiled like a flower on his face: "So that the eldest lady knows, this Yan family is not a small family, General Yan is the general of the town, the Yan family is also a century-old family, and the family is rich, and the lady is the eldest grandson of the Yan family. ”
This matchmaker can say that the dead are alive with one mouth, and now Li Luan'er can also be regarded as having learned the skills of Zhu's official media, that boasting about people, can really praise people to the sky, she listened while thinking, when she says goodbye to her brother in the future, it is still the official media of Zhu, look at these two mouths, they are really easy to use and neat.
"Just the same." In the end, Zhu official media said that Li Luan'er was unmoved, so he spread his hands: "The eldest son of Yan is unlucky, he fell off the horse a few years ago, broke his leg, and fell into some problems, but that's it, there are so many ladies in the capital, but they are in a hurry to enter the door of Yan's house." ”
"Really?" Li Luan'er smiled: "Prince Yan is so popular, why haven't he married until now." ”
Zhu's official media is still laughing: "The eldest prince can't look down on it, people are bent on finding a stunning character, and the old general wants to find a capable one, where is this capable and long-lasting character like a fairy so easy to find, and it has been delayed until now, fortunately, the eyes of heaven and heaven, descending such a character as the eldest lady, isn't this a heart-to-heart reserved for the Yan family, according to me, the eldest lady and the eldest son Yan are a match made in heaven, the marriage of several lifetimes." ”
Li Luan'er smiled silently, and Zhu's official media increased her strength.
"Yan Dagongzi is not only these benefits, the biggest advantage is that the Yan family has divided the family, Yan Dagongzi has divided the property of the house, and he is the master of the house, and the eldest lady does not have to serve her in-laws as soon as she marries, and she is the housewife, which is really a blessing."
