Chapter 80: Marriage proposal

Chapter 80

The door of the small courtyard creaked, and when the child heard the movement, he ran out of the room and threw himself directly into the arms of the tall man who came in with a hoe, "Daddy, Auntie is crying." ”

He has grown so big, and he has never seen A-Niang cry.

Rong Shao put down the hoe, scooped Xiao'er in his arms with one arm, and comforted the panicked little guy while holding him: "Could it be that Qian'er did something bad and made A-Niang cry?" ”

Xiao'er glared at Rong Shao angrily: "Daddy teaches Qian'er to be honest, why do you want to slander me?" Another serious defense: "Two people just came, put down a big burden and left, Ah Niang...... And he cried. "It's clearly none of his business.

Rong Shao had already bent down into the room with his son, put Xiao'er down, and touched his head: "Qian'er went out to play?" I'm going to comfort and comfort you, Auntie? ”

Xiao'er shook his head: "I also want to comfort A-Niang." ”

Rong Qian couldn't, so he had to take his little hand, and the father and son stood in front of the bed together, looking at Xiao Yi who was crying silently between the mattresses. She cried very sadly, but it was not the kind of hysterical crying, but her shoulders twitched, but she suppressed the crying method that refused to make a sound, and this crying method was even more sad.

Rong Shao saw that although she was crying, she was holding a piece of paper with handwriting in her right hand, so he went to get the paper. Feeling that someone was dragging the letter, Xiao Yi let go of her hand and hurriedly wiped her tears, but the letter had already reached Rong Shao's hand.

The content of the letter was very simple, only a few lines of beautiful words, but Rong Shao looked down for a long time.

Parents' Kindness:

The unfilial daughter Biluo was twelve years old, and only then did she know that Yan Ci was stranded at the border and did not know the return date. When I parted, my daughter was still in my infancy, but fortunately my adoptive parents were both virtuous and generous people, and my daughter was regarded as if she was out, and the sisters and brothers at home were friendly, and the parents did not have to worry, just looking forward to good health and waiting for reunion.

Thinking of the cold and bitter on the border, her daughter had to take away two hundred taels of silver and eight sets of clothes, showing little filial piety. The money was earned by the daughter herself, not with her adoptive parents, and the parents could use it calmly and without worrying.

The unfilial daughter bows down

Rong Shao looked at it again, looked up and looked at Xiao Yi again, looked down again, seemed to be unbelievable, and then raised his head and looked at Xiao Yi for confirmation, and saw that the other party just nodded with tears, and kept wiping his tears, and he didn't know whether he was happy or sad.

Xiao'er stood on tiptoe to look, but he couldn't reach the letter in Rong Shao's hand, and saw that his eyes were red when he saw a tall and strong man like his father, and he was even more anxious now, pulling Rong Shao's shirt to read the letter: "What is written on it?" What was written? Show me? "Why do Daddy and Auntie cry when they see it?

Rong Shao's eyes were already red, and his rough palm stroked his head, and he said with emotion: "Your sister...... She wrote to her. ”

Xiao'er's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is that the sister that A-Niang said?" My sister? Did she mention me? ”

Xiao Yi burst into tears and smiled: "Your sister...... She didn't know that there was ...... you, "How nice would it be if the two sisters and brothers grew up together?"

Xiao'er stopped jumping, and her head drooped: "It turns out that Sister Ah didn't know that there was a Qian'er ......" It's really disappointing!

Rong Shao picked him up and comforted him: "If your sister knows that she has a brother, she will definitely be happy." Although it was only a few lines, it can be seen from her letter that she must be a good child who is generous and loving, otherwise how can she get along with her sister and brother?

"Really?"

"Really!"

Xiao'er happily got down from Rong Shao's arms and ran outside to play. The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, both with half joy and half sadness in their eyes.

Xiao Yi took out the clothes in the big bag one by one, but saw that the clothes were all made of thick and wear-resistant cotton cloth with fine stitches. Winter clothes are thick, with thick cotton inside, enough to resist the cold of the border, spring and autumn clothes are clipped, the appearance is the most simple and generous, the color is not eye-catching, but you know the intention when you touch it.

She wiped away her tears, pulled up a cotton coat, and asked Rong Shao to try it, "If there is anything inappropriate, I will change it again." ”

Rong Shao took off the dirty clothes he was working on, wiped the sweat on his back with a face towel, and then put his upper body naked and put the cotton clothes on, and was immediately extremely surprised when he tried it: "This seems to be done by measuring my body shape, it is really suitable, it is really thick." Although it was the scorching heat of July, he was sweating profusely from the upper body of this cotton coat, but he caressed the comfortable and warm cotton clothes, but he was reluctant to take them off.

The tears in Xiao Yi's eyes couldn't stop flowing again, she wiped her tears, but joked with a smile: "Why is it that the older my brother gets, the shallower his eyelids become?" I didn't think you were like this in the early years, why did my daughter bring a cotton coat and was reluctant to take it off? You don't want to try spring and autumn clothes? ”

When I opened Chunqiu's clothes, I found that Chunqiu's clothes were each with two sets of underwear. The material of the underwear is not the wear-resistant thick cotton cloth on the outside, but the haode snow satin.

Xiao Yi opened her spring and autumn clothes, and found that her spring and autumn clothes not only had underwear, but also bandeau pants......

In the end, it was a girl, not only prepared intimate clothes, but also prepared so carefully and properly.

Xiao Yi held these silky and soft underwear, choked up again, and was pressed into his arms by Rong Shao, patting them silently for comfort.

- Their daughter has not only grown up peacefully, but has been far more capable and caring than they expected!

Lin Biluo didn't know that her big burden caused a huge wave in Rong Shao and Xiao Yi's hearts, and when she prepared these things, she secretly asked the ready-to-wear shop that Aunt Zhou accompanied her to, and she specially found a tailor to make it. The things were picked by her and Aunt Zhou. The size of the two is also known to Mrs. Zhou.

For this reason, Aunt Zhou didn't go to Lin's house for several days, but she felt a little weak about He's family.

Lin Biluo can remember Xiao Yi and Rong Shao on the border, she is happy and sad in her heart, but without He's consent, secretly give them something, Aunt Zhou is always a little uneasy in her heart.

It wasn't until Lin Biluo specially told her that she would find an opportunity to confess to the He family, and she calmed down.

In August, Lin Biluo hired someone to take back all the carvings in Li Fugui's small courtyard, even if the price was high, there were many people who sold them, and they were really hot. Xu saw that Banxiantang's business was good, and three or four similar shops had recently opened on Fengqiumen Street, but the things inside were far inferior to Banxiantang.

In addition to not having these snacks bought by Lin Biluo, those flower and fruit teas were not flavored with rock sugar, and the color was cloudy because they were added with starch sugar.

Not only that, but the setting inside the semi-idle hall is not only incomparable, but also the ornaments are not as good as the semi-idle hall. One of them didn't know where to invite a carver, and it was not difficult to carve a house or something, but the difficulty was that he couldn't carve those smart animals.

If there is a picture, it is also a dead thing according to the carving, and Comrade Li Fugui's craftsmanship threw out the carving master eight streets. Naturally, the business is not as good as the half-idle hall.

It didn't take long for several shops to close down one after another. Because of the comparison, the Banxian Hall is so famous in this area that almost everyone knows about it.

Even with it, Lin Biluo is also famous.

Some people heard that she had not yet been engaged, so many people asked the matchmaker to come to propose, and half of Thailand was a merchant, the difference was that some businesses were big and some businesses were small.

The He family is now taking care of receiving the matchmaker.

When Gu heard the news, he couldn't sit still, and went to the door in person to test He's tone.

"In-laws, I see that if you don't let the third sister out, I'm afraid that the threshold of the family will be flattened by the matchmaker. Don't you want to find a wealthy in-law for your third sister? In case He really had this intention, she would go home and persuade Wu Bai to rest his thoughts.

He was also a little worried.

Since mid-July, she has invited Aunt Zhou to come over every day for details, and she also feels that the third sister is in such a situation, only to find someone who knows the roots, and live a harmonious and beautiful life. As for the high-ranking households, they must not go.

The two discussed for a long time, and when they mentioned Wu Bailai again, they felt that it was really good.

The Wu family is generous, especially Wu Bai's appearance, which seems to be interested in the third sister. Even if Lin Nan went to Yingtianfu Academy, he was sent to the martial arts hall by Wu Zhutou to practice martial arts, and he would come to Lin's house every other month and a half and ten days.

Xu is now going out to see more people, and he is more able to talk than before.

"Brother Nan won't come back when he gets old, I will come to see my aunt when I have time, and it can be regarded as doing my filial piety for Brother Nan."

Every time He heard this, he felt that his heart was very ironing, and he could only keep him for dinner, which could be regarded as a tribute to his filial piety.

- No matter how busy the third sister is, she will still go back to the back house to eat with her.

After careful study, the two of them can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, and when they sat at the same table to eat, Wu Bai mentioned the brothers in the martial arts hall: "...... The senior brother is the earliest to get started, but his martial arts have not grown. The second senior brother competed with the senior brother many times, and threatened in front of the senior brothers that he would be the senior brother if he defeated the senior brother...... Later, he was punished by the master to carry water, and scolded him for not respecting his senior brother......"

A group of young men, all of whom are of the age of strong blood, of course, talk about more than that.

For example, the two daughters of the master, what clothes do the master sister and the little sister wear today, and the flower on their heads tomorrow......

The master sister has a fierce temperament, and the little sister has a gentle temperament, each with its own cuteness.

But looking at it, Wu Bai always felt that it couldn't match Lin Biluo's cuteness.

These words have been held in his heart for a long time, but he can't find a suitable opportunity to say them. Zuihou said something else: "If someone is looking for trouble with you, you squeak with me, and see that I don't beat him all over the ground looking for teeth!" Or just kidding, "Third sister, don't you need bodyguards in Banxian Hall?" I still want to make a little money! ”

Lin Biluo couldn't help but laugh at herself: "You want me to come here to get money, right?" If someone here comes to me to find trouble, go directly to the yamen to find Uncle Wu or the eldest brother-in-law, how can I use my fists and feet? ”

He felt that the dinner table was lonely, and every time Wu Bai came, three people sat at a table, but there were also talking and laughing, and it was lively. And seeing that the third sister seems to be good to Wu Bai, she doesn't look bored, and she gets along very well.

Therefore, when Gu mentioned this again, she replied meaningfully: "Although my third sister is capable, no matter how capable her daughter is, she must have a good home, right?" The mother-in-law is loving, the husband is caring, and the life is beautiful, which is good. Our family is such a family, what kind of high-ranking family are you looking for? ”

Gu smiled knowingly: "Yes." When we are mothers, don't we just want a child to live a harmonious and beautiful life?! ”

The two smiled tacitly, and they secretly reached a tacit understanding.

Lin Biluo didn't know the tacit understanding between the Gu family and the He family in private, in addition to taking care of the life in the store, he also had to deal with Yu Shilan, who appeared from time to time.

I don't know what's going on, from July to August, Yu Shilan has to come to the semi-idle hall every few days to sit down. Sometimes alone, sometimes with her two rings, spring peach and green bamboo.

She came, ordered a cup of fruit tea, took four snacks outside, wiped her mouth after eating, but refused to pay, only one sentence: "You Weishenme refuse to agree to enter the house?" ”

Chun Tao and Lu Zhu didn't know about this, so they just stood next to them and didn't speak.

Lin Biluo smiled: "If you agree to enter the mansion, you are willing to pay for tea?" ”

Yu Shilan smiled badly: "You defrauded my family of so much silver, what's wrong with me coming to eat a little for free?" ”

Lin Biluo turned his head and signaled in the direction of the counter: "Ying'er, accumulate all the lists of the little county lord, and when I meet her aunt next time, I will personally account to the county lord of Yicheng." ”

"You dare?!"

"What would I not dare?!"

The roots of Yu Shilan's hated teeth itched - this cousin is really annoying!

But after returning home, when she met the fake Yu Shilian, she felt ...... My cousin isn't actually that annoying!

Chun Tao said in Yu Shilan's ear several times that Lin Biluo was not: "...... Little county lord, how can you tolerate that merchant girl? A woman from such a background is the most forgetful of profit......"

Yu Shilan's face was uncertain: "What is your background?" Where am I going to go, when will it be the turn of a slave to speak? "It doesn't seem difficult for her to deal with Lin Biluo herself, every time she has to think about Lin Biluo, it is best to make her choke and unable to speak. But as soon as others said Lin Biluo, she was not happy in her heart.

――Breaking the head is also the business of the two sisters, what does it matter to others?

Even before, people outside would think that she had younger brothers and sisters, but she and her younger brothers and sisters did not deal with each other all year round, and even with the secret in her heart, she was a little disgusted with Yu Chuanxiong. But now that she knows Lin Biluo's life experience and knows that she is her cousin, if she chooses one of Yu Shilian and a concubine sister and Lin Biluo to admit that she is her sister, Yu Shilan does not hesitate to choose the latter.

Everything is compared.

Only by comparing can we distinguish between relatives and relatives.

Just like Lin Biluo, she always has a bad face every time she goes, and the two are-for-tat. But every time she has on the table, it must be the new fruit tea and new snacks in the store. Even if the two of them quarreled and she refused to pay the silver, but when she left Banxian Hall, she must have wrapped a bag of snacks for her, and said in a high-sounding manner: "These snacks are troublesome for the little county lord to give the county lord Yicheng a taste." ”

When she came back and opened it, she must have eaten the most and liked the most on the table.

The county lord of Yicheng and Yu Shilan have been to Banxian Hall two or three times, and the county lord of Yicheng only drank a few sips of fruit tea and tasted a little snack. In terms of small snacks, the county lord of Yicheng has always been very light and does not like to eat very much. On the contrary, she eats more.

Yu Shilan didn't believe that Lin Biluo didn't see it.

She carried Lin Biluo's food to the county lord of Yicheng to be coquettish: "A-Niang, this is the food that the third lady gave you, I want you to taste it." ”

Lord Yicheng opened it, pointed to the contents and smiled: "Is this for me?" Isn't it all your favorite food? ”

Yu Shilan's face turned red, and she was about to leave: "Since A-Niang doesn't like to eat, then just give me something to eat." ”

The county lord of Yicheng raised his voice and asked, "Have you paid the silver for what you even eat and take?" ”

"She said that the next time she saw A-Niang, she would ask A-Niang for an account." Yu Shilan turned around and grimaced, extremely scoundrel: "Anyway, she has a place to collect debts, what should I pay?" ”

Lord Yicheng laughed: "......" these two sisters!

didn't pull Lin Biluo to the house to raise her, but let her family run to the semi-idle hall from time to time, as if she had suddenly found other fun, and she always had to go around.

In addition to worrying about Lin Biluo's current living environment and the lifelong fate of education in the next few years, the county lord of Yicheng also felt that he could barely do it.

On August 22, Mrs. Chu invited a matchmaker to go to the Lin family to propose marriage.

It originated after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Twelve Lang and Li Fugui returned from their hometown.

They all took a boat back and forth, and took the waterway, which was much faster than the land route, because Li Fugui's family visit leave did not last long, and his joints hurt when he went back to live for a few days, and he couldn't sleep at night. And the younger siblings in the family heard that he intended to recognize a child to raise under his knees, and they all wanted to give him their own children.

If he succeeds his younger brother, he offends his younger sister, and if he succeeds his younger sister, he offends his younger brother, both of which are inappropriate. Zuihou simply didn't succeed anyone, and each family gave them fifty taels of silver to live, and he came back with Twelve Lang.

Not only is his joints not adapted to the climate of his hometown, but also in his own heart, there are also some people who can't adapt to the worldliness of his hometown. Maybe he stayed in the navy for too long, and the people he came into contact with were rough men, and in the face of trivial calculations, he only felt annoyed.

Maybe the third sister is right, he might as well find a little lady to marry and give birth to a child by himself to live.

After the two came back, they greeted Lin Biluo, and Li Fugui lived in Chu Junyue's small courtyard as usual and officially started construction. Twelve Lang returned to the Lin family.

When I came back, I found that the scenery was not the same as in the old days.

The business of Banxiantang is booming, and it is not surprising that it is full of friends every day, anyway, the third sister has a lot of good ideas. The most outrageous thing is that the Lin family has become a gathering place for matchmakers, sometimes three or four matchmakers come a day, each tongue is bright and lotus, and the man praises the sky and the earth, and the He family is dizzy, and Twelve Lang pretends to be a small servant to pour tea, and by the way, he listens to the enemy's situation, and his heart trembles.

- Doesn't he have a chance to go back to the Chu family again?!

The author has something to say: Inside, I originally wanted to write a super large and thick gentleman, but considering that the time may be later, it is better to put a chapter first. So, there is another shift tonight. Hehe, whoever doesn't press his claws is not a good boy!
