Chapter 170: Door-to-door propose
Ouyang Jian was discussing the matter of Xuanling Grass with Meng Jiang when the black-clothed servant outside walked in with his head bowed.
"Castle master, Qin Xiang's mother asks to see!"
"Qin Xiang?" Ouyang Jian didn't remember who it was for a while, and looked at Meng Jiang a little blankly.
"Mrs. Qin?" Meng Jiang was also a little surprised, thought for a moment and said, "Let her in!" ”
The black-clothed servant was ordered to leave, and after a while, the widow Qin in a concubine-colored skirt slowly walked in. The face is like a jade plate, and the body is like a willow. The eyes are half-drooping, and the water is shining, and it is gone. The green onion and white jade hands were clasped in front of him, and a peach-colored handkerchief was twisted.
Ouyang Jian swallowed his saliva with a grunt, and his voice was a little abrupt in the silent hall. Meng Jiang couldn't help but purse his lips and smile, Ouyang Jian coughed hurriedly, and asked seriously, "Is there something wrong with Mrs. Qin?" ”
Widow Qin raised her eyes and looked at Ouyang Jian, her eyes were timid and shy, which instantly made Ouyang Jian's face soften again.
Widow Qin bowed, got up and replied, "The Qin clan dared to ask to see the lord of Ouyang Castle, and they came for the sake of Xiao'er's relatives!" ”
"Family?" Meng Jiang suddenly understood, the paper fan he was shaking stopped for a moment, and then shook it unhurriedly.
"Qin Xiang's family affairs? The old man is neither a matchmaker nor does he know the woman to be married, why would the lady think of looking for me? Ouyang Jian was a little confused, and looked at Meng Jiang, but the other party still looked leisurely.
Widow Qin seemed to have been prepared, took out a brocade box from her sleeve, and slowly opened it to Ouyang Jian and the others, and there was a delicate dragonfly lying inside, but Ouyang Jian and Meng Jiang were all too familiar.
"Lingling's step?" Ouyang Jian asked in surprise. "Madame's meaning, it's the old man's daughter and your family Qin Xiang~"
Widow Qin bowed again, "The Qin family knows that the Ouyang family is a high-ranking family, and we are just like catkins
"This~" The other party actually offered to join in. This made Ouyang Jian a little surprised.
Meng Jiang closed the folding fan and slowly spoke, "Mrs. Qin, Qin Xiang's injury has not healed, why is Madam so eager to ask for a marriage?" I also volunteered to join the family. Changed his surname to Ouyang. I'm really a little confused! ”
Madam Qin lowered her head. He pursed his lips slightly, and when he looked up again, his eyes were already full of tears. "Isn't Childe supposed to know best? In the matter of Luokou Town, Xiang'er and I were innocent, but his senior brothers were suspicious. Thinking of our mother and son, adrift in the world, with nothing to rely on, and to be bullied. I just want to find a place for my son to live, if you think, feel that it is difficult for some strong people, then, then when I didn't say anything today~"
Before the words fell, crystal tears had rolled down the white jade-like cheeks, and people felt sad and pity for a while.
"The old man has no such intention, no such intention!" Ouyang Jian hurriedly stood up, stretched out his hands and took two steps forward, feeling that something was wrong, and glanced at Meng Jiang at a loss.
Meng Jiang sighed, got up and said, "It's better for Mrs. Qin to go back for the time being, and when I and my father-in-law ask my sister-in-law's mind, if it is really as Mrs. said, the two have already known each other, and my father-in-law and I will naturally not beat the mandarin ducks!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes, I won't beat the mandarin duck!" Ouyang Jian hurriedly nodded.
When Mrs. Qin heard this, she was overjoyed and hurriedly handed over the brocade box. "When Ling Yan sees this thing, she must be clear!"
Ouyang Jian stretched out his hand to take it, and inadvertently touched Widow Qin's fingers, only to feel a slightly cool and smooth touch, and couldn't help but feel a palpitation. Widow Qin didn't seem to notice it, and saluted the two of them again, and then turned to leave, leaving only a room of dark incense, lingering around and refusing to dissipate.
"Beauty, what a beauty!" Ouyang Jian looked at it stupidly, and praised it in his mouth.
Meng Jiang couldn't help but say, "Father-in-law, everyone is gone!" ”
"Huh?" Ouyang Jian hurriedly came back to his senses, glanced at Meng Jiang with some embarrassment, handed over the brocade box in his hand, and pretended to be angry and shouted, "This Lingling's courage is getting bigger and bigger, and she even recruited a son-in-law for Lao Tzu!" ”
"Father-in-law, I think you're so happy!" Meng Jiang glanced at Ouyang Jian angrily, shook the brocade box in his hand and asked, "What is my father-in-law's plan?" To recruit or not to recruit? ”
Ouyang Jian looked at Meng Jiang twice, "Father-in-law originally planned to marry Lingling to you!" ”
Meng Jiang was stunned for a moment, and smiled disappreciably, "Father-in-law, I have always only thought that Lingling is my sister!" You don't have to think about me! If Qin Xiang can really enter Ouyang Fort, it is not a bad thing! ”
"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”
"After all, Qin Xiang is a person from Qingyun Temple, if he doesn't leave Qingyun Temple for a day, Mao Qing won't and can't ignore it! Weren't you still worried that he wouldn't help us capture the Xuanling Grass just now? Maybe this family business can really help us get rid of the fox clan completely! ”
Meng Jiang's words were obviously on point, and Ouyang Jian immediately laughed and said, "Jiang Er, you are really your father's military advisor!" Okay, since you don't have a relationship with Lingling, then you don't have any worries about being a father! I haven't been to Xiaolou since I came back, Jiang Er, you can go with me to see that girl, and listen to her meaning by the way! ”
After saying that, Ouyang Jian walked out, Meng Jiang paused, the hand holding the brocade box tightened, and slowly let go, as if he had made a great determination, he raised his heel and went up.
Ouyang Lingling was in a daze at the embroidery frame in front of her, and Ouyang Jian had already walked in. Ouyang Lingling didn't raise her head, so she shouted angrily, "Xiaohuan, don't you always come in and urge, okay." I said it, I'll embroider it in a while, and if you talk endlessly, I'll let Daddy marry you to the black wood at the door! ”
"Hmph, I think you won't be able to embroider a bird for another ten days!" A deep voice of anger sounded in the room, which frightened Ouyang Lingling and fell directly from the stool.
"Dad~Dad, you, why are you here?"
"Can I not come? Don't you remember the good things you did? Now that everyone else is blocking your father's door, if I don't come to ask clearly, won't I let outsiders laugh at me Ouyang Jian dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and is treacherous? ”
Ouyang Lingling looked at her father's black face, glanced at Meng Jiang who was standing beside her, and couldn't help but swallow, "Daddy, what are you talking about?" Isn't it just an embroidered painting? Why is it still involved in perfidy? ”
"Jiang'er, show that thing to this dead girl!"
Meng Jiang replied and handed over the brocade box. Ouyang Lingling opened it suspiciously, and when she was on the spot, her pretty face was red and white.
"Why, I don't recognize my own things?" Ouyang Jian observed Ouyang Lingling's expression, and he was already a little convinced!
Ouyang Lingling came back to her senses and hurriedly asked, "This, how can this thing be in Daddy's hands!" ”
"Today, Mrs. Qin came to propose marriage with this step shake, Lingling, Dad only asks you, are you and Qin Xiang real?"
"Propose?"
"Propose?"
Ouyang Lingling in the house and Ji Wushuang outside the house exclaimed at the same time, the former was delighted and the latter panicked. (To be continued.) )
