Zhuo Yuan, who was the shopkeeper in the front hall, didn't know that there was such a person in Lu Dao, not to mention how old the eldest lady's carriage had only been for a while.

Seeing this group of people, he didn't know where Lu Dao came from, so he asked with a cold face: "Who are you from the eldest lady, and you are actually shouting here!" ”

Cheng Ming thought that we were running all the way just to give Miss Zhang a dose of reassurance, is it easy for our young master. began to grin: "Let's just say that the fiancé of your eldest lady, the eldest young master of the Mei family in Qingzhou, is here." ”

Zhuo Yuan was shocked, he didn't hear that the eldest lady was married. But when I think about it, why do people tell you. Qingzhou Mei family, didn't the valley owner just say that he was from Qingzhou or what state, then it was not wrong.

Hurriedly walked out of the counter, walked to the young man in the red shawl and said, "Our young lady doesn't live here, if Childe wants to go, I will send someone to lead Childe to Xiaoyao Valley." ”

Mei Hongyan nodded, and smiled at Zhuo Yuan: "Then it's bothering the shopkeeper." ”

Zhuo Yuan took a deep look at Mei Hongyan, smiled gratefully and turned around and ordered someone to go. This scene was seen by Donglin Xuanyuan, who walked in and was about to leave, and naturally took a closer look.

The man in front of him looked like a dusty man, but there was a happy look between his eyebrows. Although he is a little tired, he does not lose his demeanor, and his weak body has his own Jiangnan man's unique grace.

This is the little girl's fiancé? Such a man is a good match for her, and neither of them looks like people who can live in the northwest.

Tanglin Xuanyuan walked past Mei Hongyan indifferently, ignoring Zhuoyuan's earth-shattering and joyful message.

As soon as I returned to Xiaoyao Valley to change my clothes, I heard the maid report that a distinguished guest came to the door.

Huanhuan put on his clothes again and went to meet the guests. I thought to myself, it was someone from the family. Who is it? Is it the third uncle or the uncle. Or Mr. Chu Li, who has no time at all.

I saw Mei Hongyan sitting there. Huanhuan was stunned for a moment. Dong Xiaoman secretly observed the reactions of the two children, and sighed in his heart.

What does it mean that a woman is not staying, how old is this and starting to fall in love. And after I clicked it again and again, I didn't feel at ease what I said. No wonder Xiaohu said so many inexplicable words before leaving.

"Honghiko, how did you come so far away? But your family is also planning to open a semicolon in the northwest? Dong Xiaoman asked knowingly, Mei Hongyan looked at Huan Huan with a red face and said nervously: "Actually, I came to propose marriage this time." ”

Dong Xiaoman chuckled in his heart. A big smile continued on his face: "Oh? ”

"Auntie, I think, I want to marry Huanhuan as my wife." After saying the word, he blushed happily. glanced at Mei Hongyan, got up and ran out in shame.

Dong Xiaoman didn't stop it, knowing that the girl was panicked, and she wouldn't run back to the room with a pillow to cover her face, she must be listening nearby.

"You come to propose, do your father and mother know the way?" Dong Xiaoman didn't answer, and reached out to take the big red robe handed over by Erya. Holding the tea lid in his left hand, he gently plucked the tea foam and asked without raising his head.

"This. I haven't made up my mind to my parents and grandmother. But I want to say that after I propose, I will tell my family when I go back. Then my elders came to say goodbye in person. Mei Hongyan stood up nervously, panicking and not knowing what to do.

"Sit down, sit down, what are you afraid of." Dong Xiaoman waved his hand and signaled Mei Hongyan to relax.

"I'm just wondering why you suddenly came here to propose." Dong Xiaoman asked with a smile, and the calmness revealed in his eyes made Mei Hongyan slowly relax.

Thinking of the relationship between Wang Xiaohu and the person in front of him, Mei Hongyan smiled bitterly: "Brother Tiger said something to me, so that I don't want to be with Huanhuan anymore." We have separated, and we will return to the bridge and the road, and it is not that the family cannot enter the door. I was anxious for a while, afraid that my aunt would be engaged to Huanhuan, so I was in a hurry to come over to propose. ”

Dong Xiaoman nodded clearly, and said in his heart: Xiaohu is really a reliable child, his eyes are vicious, he looks at things objectively, and the possibility of analyzing the situation of the two families is really not high.

"Didn't you think that it was impossible for your family to agree to this marriage? Your uncle was murdered by a traitor and imprisoned, although it is now revealed to the world. "Okay, Dong Xiaoman used the word "different sides of the sky", after all, he didn't want to curse Erlang to death. But in Mei Hongyan's opinion, what he said is also right, isn't the separation of yin and yang like the heavens and the sky.

"Since ancient times, marriage is the order of parents, and the words of the matchmaker, if you come to propose marriage to me, if I promise you, it will seem that our daughter will not be able to marry. There is no media and no elders, which makes some sense. Besides, I knew that your grandmother and your mother would not agree, but I insisted on agreeing to the marriage. In the future, my daughter will marry her, and I don't know what kind of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship Lu Dao will encounter. "Dong Xiaoman said a thousand words and ten thousand, which means that your family does not agree, and if the elders don't come to propose, then our family will definitely not agree.

Mei Hongyan was sweating all over his face, cursed and swore that he would be good to Huanhuan, and would ask his family to agree as soon as possible: "I have made an agreement with Huanhuan, and I will definitely persuade my family to agree to our marriage within three years." ”

Dong Xiaoman raised his eyebrows and said: "Now that we have been here for more than half a year, you must have made a lot of efforts." Now that you have come to propose marriage alone, you already know that the road is not easy to walk. Do you know why your family disagrees? ”

Mei Hongyan lowered his eyelids and bowed his head silently, Dong Xiaoman pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "First, our two families are not in the right household. Although our family is also wealthy, and we also have a relative who is studying, we are weak. You are a young son, and it will not help you much in the future. What's more, your family is rich and rivals the country, and you have important ministers who are officials in the court, so you can find a comparable family. Second, although our family has been wronged, its reputation is no longer there. What's more, orphans and widows, how they will live in the future is still unknown, and it may also affect you. ”

Hongyan nodded and said sadly: "These have nothing to do with marriage, but they have become a broken bridge between us. ”

Dong Xiaoman saw that there was a figure outside the door that kept shaking, and he decided to attack again, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

"Actually, there is an even more rare thing, which is that I have married someone else. As you can see, I don't have the ability to feed these children, let alone open an inn here. Your family won't accept this fact even more, right? After saying that, not only Mei Hongyan was stunned, but even Huanhuan couldn't help but run in.

"Mother! How can you ......" Huanhuan wanted to tell the truth out loud, but was stopped by Dong Xiaoman's loud shout: "Everyone in Quanping Liangcheng knows that the surname of this Xiaoyao Valley is Zhao Xiaoyao." If you want to hide it from him, can you hide it for the rest of your life? Don't you make this clear before marriage, and keep it for the future to become a bane? ”

Huanhuan looked at her mother with teary eyes, and turned her head to look at Mei Hongyan, who had been petrified.

The latter has completely lost the function of speech, and does not know what to do.

Dong Xiaoman said softly: "The matter has been said very clearly, first of all, you have to accept such a woman, her background is bleak and has gone through many twists and turns. I can't let my daughter's marriage be hurt in the slightest, and I don't allow my in-laws to look down on her and be isolated. If you accept this poor child, find a way for your family to accept it instead of hiding it. Because I don't believe that your family can't find out the truth at all, we will live in this Pingliang City for generations. ”

Leaving two people staring at each other in the front hall with big eyes, Huanhuan said in a hoarse voice after a long time: "It's not early, I'll go and tell my subordinates to prepare dinner." After eating, you have a good rest, this kind of thing is not something you can think about in a moment. ”

Mei Hongyan felt that his head was not enough for the first time, why did this Zhang family become more and more complicated.

After Huanhuan left, he fell on the bed without saying a word, and drove all the subordinates out of the house.

Dong Xiaoman personally brought in a bowl of sweet rice balls she loved, put it on the table, looked at the bulging buns on the bed and said, "You don't plan to come out for the rest of your life?" ”

"Can't you just let me be quiet for a while?" A certain girl in the quilt said depressedly.

"It's in vain to think about it, it's better to have a good quarrel with me." Dong Xiaoman picked up the spoon and said to the one on the bed while eating the rice balls: "I'll eat it first, your bowl won't taste good if it's cold." ”

Huanhuan got out of the quilt angrily, and complained to her mother with a resentful face: "People's daughters are sad and can't eat in a hurry, but you are more delicious than ever." ”

"I can finally break you two apart, why do I have no appetite to eat?" Dong Xiaoman stared at his daughter funny, and his expression was more begging.

"Can't you just tell him the truth?" Huanhuan couldn't help but beg.

Dong Xiaoman put down the spoon and said to his daughter solemnly: "We tell him the truth of the matter, and once he can't bear the pressure at home, he will confide." And once the outside world puts excessive pressure on their family, will it also reveal the truth to the world? ”

Huan Huan is silent, this is the truth, I don't know that not speaking is the best way to keep secrets.

"If you think so, if he holds up such a difficult marriage. In the future, whatever happens to you, you will be together. Dong Xiaoman persuaded softly: "It's not that I don't like this child, in fact, since the accident at home, I am very sure that this child can accompany you for the rest of your life." But the development of things is unexpected, we have to look at the family behind him, after all, marriage is not a matter for the two of you. So, that's why I actually gave up such a big ship. ”

This move is also a test of the Mei family's attitude, if they accept it, it means that there is hope for the children of the two families. However, the Mei family proposed a fifty-fifty split, which is clearly rejecting Dong Xiaoman's hospitality.

You can hit this face once, but you can't hit it a second time! (To be continued......)
