Chapter 43: Courtship
It takes a hundred days to break your muscles and bones, this is an old saying.
It is also the theoretical basis for Yang Fan to expect to be able to help Li Lan in three months.
Three months later.
The old house of the Li family.
Yang Fan followed the etiquette and paid a greeting to Mrs. Li.
I thought to myself, Mrs. Li is also a retired age, there shouldn't be much to do, and there should be plenty of time to see yourself.
When he arrived at the door, he stood for a long time, and he was a little apprehensive, not sure if he would be willing to see himself, but he listened attentively, but he did not find his voice.
If he didn't see it, would he force his way into the Li Mansion or kneel on the ground and weep bitterly? Breaking in, the ability is not enough, Li Lan probably doesn't want to do this, he kneels on the ground and cries bitterly, he doesn't want to, it is probably useless!
Just thinking about it, Xiao Si walked out, "Young Master Yang, Old Lady Li is invited." ”
Yang Fan followed Xiao Si to go, and it was the same place where he watched the clouds and rain last time, and when he entered the door, he heard Old Lady Li say, "What happened to the little friend of the Yang family?"
Yang Fan walked to the hall, straightened his clothes, and then bowed down and said, "I see you today for the marriage of Xiao Ke and Li Lan." ”
"Oh?" the old lady dragged out a long voice, but her expression was not surprised, "It's just that Lan'er has already promised to marry others, and the marriage ceremony has passed, Yang Gongzi doesn't know?"
"A few days ago, the kid was unlucky, he was bitten by a dog and trampled on a horse, and he cultivated at home for a few months, but I didn't know that the Spring and Autumn Period had changed, and such a big thing happened!" Yang Fan saw that Old Lady Li was listening, and continued:
"It's just that I remember watching the wind and clouds surging here that day, listening to the sound of rain falling outside, you have already married Li Lan to me!"
"That's what you said that day, but you can't be the master, and you haven't made up your mind. Lan'er is getting older, and she can't delay her life's major events for undecided matters!" Old Lady Li paused, coughed a few times, and then said:
"However, Yang Gongzi is the queen of the Yang family in Houshan, his identity and blood are valuable, and there is a faint white gas on the top of his head, and his future is limitless. ”
Yang Fan looked at the old lady expectantly, thinking to himself, wouldn't it be so easy to help Li Lan get free?
"It's just that the Li family has passed down the family with etiquette, poetry and books, and Lan'er's gift has been decided, and it should not be wasted. However, there is also a daughter in the family, named Li Zhi, who is two years younger than Li Lan, but Yang Gongzi!"
Yang Fan looked at Mrs. Li's serious expression, not like a joke, he was very moved, as if he met a confidant.
In two lives, no one has ever looked up to himself so much, and what "unlimited future" and "faint white gas above his head" have only been seen on TV. I was so evaluated, like drinking elixir!
Just by seeing three faces, he was going to promise another young lady to himself, and he was even more excited and trembling all over.
Li Zhi! Zhilan fragrance, as soon as you hear its name, you know that it must be an elegant and gentle person.
However, this is not the purpose of today's trip, he secretly bit his tongue and suppressed his excitement, "Thank you for being able to afford it, and the kid is grateful." It's just that when his father was alive, he often taught Xiao Ke that he should not be a man from the beginning to the end, but from the beginning. ”
Seeing that the old lady Li looked the same and didn't bite the words too much, he put his mind at ease, bowed slightly and continued: "I have admired Li Lan for a long time, and I ask the old lady to fulfill it." ”
Old lady Li smiled: "Don't worry, sit down, moisten your throat first." ”
shouted to the side: "Let Li Zhi serve tea!"
I saw a woman dressed in a pale yellow dress, with a graceful posture, and slowly came with tea.
handed the tea to the old lady first, and then put one on the table beside Yang Fan, his movements were light and gentle, there was never a smile on his face, but he had a little warmth.
It is a little similar to Yu Rou, but it is a little more heroic, and the eyebrows are similar to Li Lan, but a little weaker.
Yang Fan has always been a person who is struggling on the food and clothing line, and he can't help but be a little stunned when he sees the real ladies up close. Li Lan is also from everyone, but she is an atypical woman.
Old lady Li was a little proud, and said with a smile: "Young Master Yang, how is it?"
Yang Fan came back to his senses, picked up the tea and took a sip gently, "Fragrant, good tea, long aftertaste!"
Old lady Li shook her head slightly, "How is my daughter Li Zhi?"
Yang Fan said honestly: "Miss doesn't seem to be born in the world, the kid is vulgar, ashamed of himself, and doesn't dare to climb high!"
Migrate qi and nourish the body. Yang Fan was poor in his two lives, and Li Zhi, who grew up with brocade clothes and jade food, was originally a person from two worlds. Li Zhi didn't even look at him directly just now, even if there was no matter for Li Lan, he couldn't be bored.
Old lady Li said seriously: "Young Master Yang, don't be humble, the old man has nothing worth saying in his life, but a pair of mortal eyes can see a lot of things. Others say that your cultivation qualifications are not good, and how embarrassing your family is, but the first time the old man saw you, he knew that you would definitely be extraordinary in the future! If you want, you can make this family business today!"
Yang Fan was very strange, even he felt that his future was uncertain countless times, how could this old lady see that he was extraordinary! His cultivation qualifications were extremely poor, and normally speaking, his future was extremely bleak! Although his ability to calculate wind and rain was somewhat magical, most people attributed these to the fact that he had some induction talents. Monastic qualifications are a combination of potentials, including more than just one sense ability.
Today is not really to ask for marriage, or to enjoy the praise of others, today is for Li Lan's entrustment, Yang Fan put away his mind, "Thanks to the old lady, I have admired Li Lan for a long time, and I dare not change it, I just ask you to allow this matter!"
Li Lan has promised others that if there is a change, it is unreasonable!"
"Please ...... it back"
Before Yang Fan finished speaking, he was interrupted.
"Father, why bother talking to this poor boy! Just get out!" Li Lan's father hurriedly walked in from outside.
Yang Fan didn't have a good impression of Li Lan's father, for the sake of the so-called family interests, a person who didn't care about his daughter's feelings was not worthy of being a father, and said in a stiff voice: "Do you think Liu Er is worthy of Li Lan?"
Can he give your daughter happiness?
You're so cruel to make her uncomfortable for the rest of her life?"
"Could it be that a poor boy with you, what do you want, and you will live well?"
Yang Fan didn't want to ask Li Lan for marriage, but he thought about it, because of the old lady's previous promise, he felt that this trick was more suitable, and now he heard her father say this, and he was in the middle of it, "Uncle Li, you are right, Li Lan is less than twenty years old, and he is young, why not wait a few more years, see who can give her happiness more, and then determine her family, isn't it better?"
Li Lan's father looked disdainful, in his heart, what kind of words can he say, but he has to be qualified, "Hmph! If you can get a thousand gold and have someone from the Chu Yuan Realm to help you ask for marriage, you are qualified to say this!"
Old lady Li looked at Li Lan's father and scolded: "Little San, don't be like this, my Li family is such a powerful person? The gift of marriage has been completed, how can it be exchanged for money or other momentum! How do you let the Liu family view it, and how do outsiders view the Li family?"
"Old lady, I think what Uncle Li said is very reasonable, if you just say something light, how can you show sincerity. I will take the money of a thousand gold, and let the people of the Chu Yuan Realm propose marriage, I just want Li Lan to live for a few more years, don't let her promise the Liu family or anyone first, and let her choose by herself in a few years. ”
Father Lan laughed and said, "Haha...... You kid is interesting, you talk big, you come with your mouth open, do you think that the wealth of a thousand gold can fall from the sky? The Chu Yuan Realm is a character that can be found on the streets?!"
Yang Fan's family background has long been found out by him, the family is poor and white, and there are no wealthy relatives, as for the illusory things like the blood of the Yang family in Houshan, he definitely doesn't believe it.
Seeing that this kid came when he opened his mouth when he said big things, he still looked calm, and he did have a bit of bearing, but his bearing was not supported by his family background, wealth, or Taoism, it was a joke, just like Dong Shi Xiaofeng, without that body temperament, he would only cover his chest, it was a joke.
Yang Fan didn't care about Li Lan's flashy old man, and looked at Old Lady Li, "Old lady, I don't know if you can agree to what I said?"
Old lady Li said sternly: "Young Master Yang, if you really want to marry my Li family, you can Xu Li Zhi, don't mention Li Lan's matter again!
"But you always promised Li Lan to me first, is it in line with etiquette to promise to the Liu family privately?"
The old man waved his hand, "That's just a casual remark, the ceremony has not yet been completed, so it doesn't count!"
"It's just that the gentleman's words are difficult to chase, and it is also in line with the etiquette set by the saint, right?"
"Uh......"
"Father, just promise him, is this gold of gold a broken copper and iron, is the Chu Yuan Realm so worthless! I want to see what kind of expression this kid will have when he pierces his big words! Let Lan'er die, I'll talk about it from the Liu family!"
"Thank you old lady and Uncle Li, in ten days, I will visit again!"
Yang Fan didn't wait for the old lady to reply, bowed and bowed, and then withdrew.
Seeing that the old lady was half-open, saying that it was not appropriate to allow or disallow, Yang Fan took him as a tacit acquiescence.
