(392) There are doubts about the occasional encounters on the road
As the Zhao family said that night, they invited the most famous matchmaker in Tonglu to the Liu Mansion to propose marriage, exchanged the birthday eight characters of Zhao Zekai and Liu Agarwood, and even beat the gong and drum to carry the entire eight large boxes of dowry gifts into the Liu Mansion, which supported the Liu family's face sufficiently.
Take a concubine and treat her as a wife!
This soon became a good story in Tonglu, and Zhao Shicheng was rarely praised in this good story. The dignified prefect first came to Liu's Mansion to propose his relatives and ate a closed door, and there was such a large measure to propose his relatives again. not only proposed marriage again, but also gave such a thoughtful number of gifts and heavy gifts to the Liu family, who didn't know what to do, which was really commendable, and responded to the sentence "The prime minister can support the boat in his belly". Of course, some people express envy of the Liu family, this Liu Agarwood's previous reputation doesn't have to be too good, and he can't marry into the Zhao family as a concubine if he doesn't want to be stupid. That's right, it's a concubine to marry, and ordinary people take concubines, but they are carried in a red sedan chair from the side door, this Liu Agarwood is a blessing from several generations of cultivation!
The Zhao and Liu families chose an auspicious day for Liangcheng, and set the day when Zhao Zekai married Liu Agarwood on the twentieth day of the first month. The auspicious date has been set, and as the in-laws of the Liu family, the Gu family has to send congratulatory gifts. On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, on this day, the Liu family called Gu Beichen and Lin Mengyao over.
"I didn't expect the auspicious day to be set so soon, and it will be very busy to return to my hometown to worship my ancestors after the year, so I can only take advantage of today and tomorrow to quickly prepare the congratulatory gifts and send them over." Liu said to Gu Beichen: "The matter of this congratulatory gift will be handed over to you, as for Meng Yao, she has not been discharged from the hospital for a few days, and she is suffocated when she thinks about it, so you can take her out for a walk." But be sure to stay safe! ”
Liu's words surprised Lin Mengyao, in order to let her raise a baby. Liu couldn't wait to let her lie on the bed, but today he let her go. But looking back, it makes sense, Gu Mengde has been back for a few days, and the invitations have been continuous, and he didn't return until late at night every day, so this congratulatory gift naturally can't be ignored. However, the Liu family couldn't pull away, Gu Mengde specially instructed Gu Ruyu to clean up the new yard a year ago, and now Gu Ruyu is going to move to the new yard. Liu is quite busy. But. This Liu family is Liu's maiden family, Liu Agarwood was watched by Liu's family, although there is a fault, but Liu's heart still hurts her. will never let her become a concubine after being wronged. There is ambiguity in the dowry: the Liu family wants Gu Beichen to prepare a congratulatory gift for the Liu family. In fact, it is better to say that it is a dowry.
As for Liu's letting Lin Mengyao follow, it was also measured by her: Lin Mengyao was cautious, and she was her daughter's family. It's better than Gu Beichen's heart.
After getting Liu's orders, Gu Beichen took Lin Mengyao out of the house. As soon as she walked out of the mansion, Lin Mengyao was taken aback again: When did Liu Mansion invite such an excellent nursing home?
The four nurses standing in front of and behind the carriage did not squint, and even if they were wearing winter clothes, they could see that they were strong. Lin Mengyao looked at Gu Beichen, Gu Beichen smiled and said, "I think my mother was worried about your comfort, so she deliberately chose someone to protect you." ”
Lin Mengyao smiled and didn't ask any more.
Because it is the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, with the joy of the upcoming New Year, the main road of Tonglu City is also full of stalls. Looking at the bustling and lively people, the suffocation of guarding Ningyun Pavilion in the past few days has also been eliminated a lot. Gu Beichen saw that Lin Mengyao was in a good mood, so he was not in a hurry to buy a congratulatory gift, but let the carriage move slowly around the street.
With a good heart, Lin Mengyao was grateful to Gu Beichen for his understanding, and happily took in the excitement on the street.
"What a smell, it's so fragrant!" Pregnant women are prone to craving, and this craving, the nose becomes particularly sensitive. A burst of aroma came with the wind, and Lin Mengyao couldn't stand it and salivated.
Gu Beichen looked at her gluttony, and immediately became happy: "Just count your nose spirit, this is a roasted sweet potato, do you want to taste it?" ”
Roasted sweet potatoes?
What is a sweet potato?
Speaking of which, in the previous life, she was the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who was clothed in fine clothes and food, where would she know the things of the common people. Of course, the days in Mengfu should be another story, but even in Mengfu, she has never seen sweet potatoes.
Curious in her heart, she was aroused by the uninterrupted aroma again, Lin Mengyao's face turned red: "It's not that I want to eat, it's your child who is not angry!" ”
Such a scoundrel!
Gu Beichen was amused by Lin Mengyao, nodded her nose, and said, "Okay, okay, it's my child who is hungry!" ”
After speaking, Gu Beichen jumped out of the carriage and followed the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes.
Looking at Gu Beichen's disappearing back, Lin Mengyao's heart warmed, the blessings of the two worlds are concentrated in one life, so there will be such a good son-in-law in this life?
With a smile on the corner of her mouth, Lin Mengyao felt fortunate and satisfied for her luck in this life. Unintentionally, I saw a familiar figure, a thin figure, a gray-brown robe, a black mask, and a pair of eyes that could pierce everything - that was the temple lady?!
When she was in Fuyang, Mrs. Miao helped Lin Mengyao relieve the poison of her fake belly, but later because Lin Mengyao accidentally saw her half-faced Shura and half-jade-faced face, in a fit of anger, she didn't wait for Lin Mengyao to recover from her injuries, and directly kicked her and Gu Beichen out of the door. Later, Lin Mengyao asked about Mrs. Miao, and it turned out that Mrs. Miao's relationship with Gu Beichen had been more than ten years. When Gu Beichen was six years old, he went out to watch lanterns with his servants, and happened to meet Mrs. Miao, who was down at that time, so he gave all the silver on the servant's body to Mrs. Miao, helping her get out of trouble. Three years later, in the summer, Gu Beichen fell into the water, but it was Mrs. Miao's rescue. So, by coincidence, the two got married.
Knowing that Mrs. Miao had a life-saving grace for Gu Beichen, and thanked Mrs. Miao for saving her, Lin Mengyao had thought about thanking her, but she didn't want to go out of the city with Gu Beichen to find Mrs. Miao, Mrs. Miao had already disappeared with a few of her snakes.
This time, why is Lady Temple here now?
Xu felt Lin Mengyao's gaze, and Mrs. Miao also looked at Lin Mengyao. Lin Mengyao hurriedly went down, preparing to catch up, but she didn't want the temple lady to suddenly move her steps and quickly ran into the distance, as if she was running away from someone. Lin Mengyao was surprised, and looked in the direction behind Mrs. Miao, but this look startled her, this person who followed Mrs. Miao's was Guo Jin!
Guo Wei didn't notice Lin Mengyao's existence, and chased after Mrs. Miao all the way.
When Gu Beichen came back from buying roasted sweet potatoes, Lin Mengyao was still standing outside the carriage, and several guards were guarding her side, preventing the bustling crowd from crowding her.
"How did you get out of the car? What are you looking at? ”
Hearing Gu Beichen's voice, Lin Mengyao came back to her senses and got into the car with Gu Beichen, and then told him what she had just seen.
"Lady Temple has appeared? Also, although Mrs. Miao's whereabouts have always been uncertain, she always has to return to Tonglu every year. Gu Beichen didn't care much, peeled the roasted sweet potato and handed it to Lin Mengyao, so the carriage was full of the aroma of roasted sweet potato, which made people salivate.
Lin Mengyao took the roasted sweet potato, took a bite, and immediately relieved her hunger: "But, then Mr. Guo seems to know Mrs. Miao!" ”
Speaking of Guo Jin, Gu Beichen showed a meaningful smile, this Guo Wei is not simple! (To be continued......)
