Extra-twelve: Raising relatives and making oolong
Hui Niang took over the errand of helping Qiao Yong with the dowry, and hurriedly went to her mother's house, and vaguely told the Pi couple that Qiao Yong was going to propose marriage, and told them about it, and did not say much else.
As for how Liu Dacheng and Pi discussed it, Hui Niang didn't know, because after saying these words, she left in a hurry.
At this time, it was the middle of March, Hui Niang spent two days to arrange the dowry, Qiao Yong invited someone to knock on the date previously chosen, and went to Liu's house to propose the dowry with the dowry.
Qiao Yong didn't want to wronged An Niang, the pomp and circumstance of proposing marriage was still quite big, the sound of gongs and drums almost resounded throughout half of Liuye Town, as for those who were interested in Qiao Yong, they hid in the house one by one, and they didn't know how many juan pas they had torn up.
And on this day, not only Qiao Yong went to Liu's house with the dowry to propose, but Lu Laohan also invited a matchmaker to go to Liu's house with the dowry, the reason was that Lu Weihe somehow fell in love with Liu Niang, and thought about things silently every day, so that he didn't do things.
Thinking about his own eldest son is also in his early twenties, this has not been a way to get married, he is also old, he can't be so consumed, and then after talking to the family, he came to the door for his son to propose.
Although his mother-in-law is not happy to marry Liu Niang, Lu Laohan thinks that Liu Niang is very good, not as frivolous as outsiders say, quite stable, not the kind of casual woman, and she is also very diligent in what she does.
Lu Laohan thought about it well, and went to Liu's house to propose marriage with great interest, who knew that he bumped into Qiao Yong, who was also going to propose marriage, at the entrance of Yuewan Village, these two parties collided, you don't let me, I won't let you, and they confronted each other at the entrance of the village for a long time, and finally Qiao Yong saw that it was not too early, and they walked so far again.
He wanted to send the dowry to Liu's house earlier, so he naturally refused to give way, so he went to discuss with Lu Laohan and let them go first, and Lu Laohan and his party followed.
Lu Laohan smoked his pipe, twisted his brows and said to Qiao Yong: "Big brother, it's not that I won't let you, you see my age, it's not easy to propose a kiss to my son, otherwise you let me go first?" ”
Qiao Yong glanced at Lu Laohan a few times, and saw that he was indeed quite old, but it was not as difficult as he said, on the contrary, he was still very excited when he saw the person in front of him, "Uncle, it's not that I won't let you, you see that some of us have come from far away, and we are already tired, so Uncle might as well be accommodating?" ”
These two didn't notice at all how weird the atmosphere of their speech was, one was called Brother Qiao Yong, and the other was called Uncle? How to say something wrong.
Lu Laohan glanced at the people behind Qiao Yong, all of them sweated profusely, smiled but didn't answer, and began to play with Qiao Yong, "Whose house did the eldest brother go to propose?" ”
Qiao Yong was asked about the family of the person who proposed his marriage, and said with a smile: "The Liu family in Yuewan Village." ”
Lu Laohan was so shocked that he forgot to smoke his pipe, raised his eyes to look at Qiao Yong, who was smiling with a smile on his face, and asked, "Is it Liu Dacheng and their family?" ”
"It's their house." The smile on Qiao Yong's face was even worse, but his younger sibling told him that she had mentioned it to her future father-in-law and mother-in-law before, and he would come to propose marriage today, but this old man seemed to be unhappy.
No matter what, he marries his daughter-in-law, does it matter if others are happy or not?
Lu Laohan's face can be said to be cloudy now, I didn't expect that there was such a coincidental thing in this world, he was going to the Liu family to propose, and the young man in front of him was also going?
Could it be that Liu Niang has already promised her other people in the days when he didn't have and acted, so if this is the case, he didn't even inquire about the situation clearly, so he came, spread it, and was laughed to death, but if he went back so rashly, he wouldn't be laughed at?
Lu Laohan is really in a dilemma, and that matchmaker is really right, not to mention that Liu Niang has already said that she is pro, and she has plucked up all her strength to let him come, but this time it has become a joke.
"What? Did the uncle also go to the Liu family to propose marriage? Qiao Yong saw Lu Laohan frowning, and he also guessed some ways. Not only did she not feel depressed, but she was very happy, but that kind of happiness was not at all mocking Lu Laohan, I had heard my younger brother and sister say that her maiden sister had not yet allowed her to be a family, and she would turn seventeen this year.
didn't worry about his future mother-in-law to death, and now someone finally came to the door, isn't that a good thing?
Of course, Qiao Yong has to give a warm welcome.
Qiao Yong, who has not yet become the son-in-law of the Liu family, unconsciously took on the responsibility of the son-in-law of the Liu family, enlightened Lu Laohan, and of course did not compete with him.
Using the excuse of Lu Laohan's age, let him go first, but Lu Laohan is very depressed now, how can he go, he has to think about it, how can he not be laughed at.
"What's wrong, uncle? It's not too early, it's too late if you don't go, and my brothers are still waiting to help me give me a dowry and eat. ”
Lu Laohan was depressed for a while, and finally ruthlessly, he still let the person who carried the dowry enter Yuewan Village, and they all came, and they all arrived at the gate of the village, and if they didn't come to the door, they couldn't talk about it.
Besides, he thinks about it now, and he is very sure that Liu Niang must not say kiss now, otherwise his son is not thinking, he should be sad alone.
When he arrived at Liu's house, he asked Liu Dacheng and his wife for an explanation, and that was also the case, anyway, he was rejected from marriage, this is not the first time, others laugh, he gambled this time.
As soon as Lu Laohan in front of him left, the road was empty, and Qiao Yong said to the people who were still resting: "Brothers, don't rest, let's follow behind the uncle in front." ”
A puzzled brother asked, "Brother Qiao, why do we have to follow the people in front of us?" ”
The matchmaker invited by Qiao Yong also came over at this time, fanning the wind, and said to Qiao Yong: "That's it, Dayong, don't be stupid, if you follow them, then we will delay the auspicious time." ”
It means that Qiao Yong has already made a fool just now, and if he commits it once, forget it, but don't commit it a second time.
Qiao Yong smiled, "You don't know, the uncle who walked in front just now, but he wants to propose marriage to my future sister-in-law, you say, should I let this way?" ”
Everyone suddenly realized, it turned out to be like this, no wonder Qiao Yong was not only not depressed, but also relatively excited, daring to be like this?
"Okay, brothers, stop chattering, let's go, it's too late, I'm going to deduct my wages."
"Brother Qiao, you are a door-pick~" Everyone complained.
Qiao Yong laughed.
At this time, the Liu family, due to Hui Niang's previous notice, had already prepared everything, but Pi didn't expect that Qiao Yong did not welcome him, but welcomed Lu Laohan, and he was scared for a long time without reacting, and Liu Niang who was present was also startled.
When she reacted, she was immediately pushed into the room by Pi Shi and made her wait.
Liu Dacheng was also stunned for a while before he reacted, that Lu Laohan had already commanded people and set up the dowry; Pi's sharp-eyed went to the kitchen to make tea, but the tea hasn't been brewed yet.
There was a sound of talking outside, Liu Dacheng saw that Qiao Yong was coming, and the corners of his mouth had never been closed, after so many years, he was still so happy on the first day, this smile looked in Lu Laohan's eyes, it was even more blocked, but at this time, Lu Laohan didn't expect that the object that Qiao Yong wanted to propose was Liu Niang's eldest sister, An Niang, not Liu Niang.
"Dayong is here, come, sit down~ old... Peace damn it, is the tea ready? Hurry up and bring it up, Dayong is here. Liu Dacheng rushed in the direction of the kitchen, urging.
"It's coming, it's coming." Although it had been prepared in advance, but now that there were more people, Pi Shi was still a little in a hurry.
After a lot of effort, I finally brewed the tea, washed the cup again, and then came out with the tea.
Outside, the matchmakers on both sides have already worked their speeches, although the corners of Lu Laohan's mouth are smiling, but it is always a little unnatural, who made Lu Laohan an honest man, and he didn't even pretend to be like it?
Originally, the matchmaker invited by Qiao Yong didn't want to worry about the matchmaker invited by Lu Laohan, but as long as she said a word, the matchmaker over there blocked her and made the matchmaker Ma half angry.
If you don't want to compete, you can't do it, Ma Matchmaker glared at the matchmaker opposite several times, and then said unhurriedly: "Brother Liu, you also know the situation of our Dayong, we Dayong said, when we marry An Niang in the future, we will try our best to be good to her, and I will love her for a lifetime, and treat the Yaling sisters and brothers as my own pain..."
Bang, Lu Laohan's hands shook accidentally, and he knocked over the teacup, and when he saw Liu Dacheng and Qiao Yong all looking over, this old face was a little panicked.
Lu Laohan was anxious and extremely embarrassed, "Brother Liu, I'm really embarrassed, I... I didn't hold it steady. ”
Lu Matchmaker, who was invited by Lu Laohan, listened to Mrs. Ma's words and exclaimed, "What did you say? You're not here to propose to Liu Niang? ”
Ma Matchmaker snorted coldly, "Of course not, we are proposing to Liu Niang's eldest sister, An Niang?" Seeing Mrs. Lu's constipated face, Mrs. Ma was in a very happy mood.
Who told you to start blocking me? It was a good thing, but I had to compete with her secretly, thinking about Ma Matchmaker's mood, she was a little unhappy.
Mrs. Lu and Old Man Lu glanced at each other, immediately reacted, and said with a sneer: "It's okay if it's not." "Fortunately, no, if she had, she would have to run empty.
Looking at Lu Laohan's expression, and seeing Qiao Yong covering his mouth and smiling, Liu Dacheng finally figured out what was going on, laughed, and said to Lu Laohan: "It seems that Brother Lu has misunderstood something." ”
Lu Laohan laughed twice, his ears were red, and he didn't speak, of course, Qiao Yong was also very interested in dismantling Lu Laohan's platform.
