Chapter 52: Door-to-door proposal
Early the next morning, Duan Lun remembered what happened last night, and just wanted to ask Duan Qiuyue to go to Qin Shaochu's with him, but he didn't expect Qin Shaochu to take Xuanxuan to Duan Mansion together.
As soon as Qin Shaochu walked into Duan's mansion with Xuanxuan in his arms, he saw Duan Lun walking outside, and said, "Uncle Duan, where are you going?" ”
Hearing Qin Shaochu's inquiry, Duan Lun said: "Haha, no, my family Qiuyue came back yesterday, I thought about going to your house today, but I didn't expect Qin Xian's nephew to come to my side." ”
Qin Shaochu nodded, and then asked Xuanxuan to greet Duan Lun, and Xuanxuan called sweetly, "Grandpa Duan." ”
Duan Lun heard Xuanxuan's cry and hurriedly agreed: "Hey, Xuanxuan, it's so good." Then he said to Qin Shaochu: "Qin Xian's nephew is coming, quickly take Xuanxuan into the house, it's cold outside." ”
"Okay, uncle" Qin Shaochu nodded, and carried Xuanxuan into the house.
Duan Qiuyue sat in the house with her mother-in-law, and saw Qin Shaochu walking in with Xuanxuan in her arms, Mrs. Duan and Duan Qiuyue got up, Mrs. Duan looked at the child Qin Shaochu was holding, and said, "This is Xuanxuan, come, and then I'll hug you." ”
Xuanxuan looked at Qin Shaochu, looked at Xuanxuan looking at herself, Qin Shaochu nodded, and then Xuanxuan stretched out her hand, and Mrs. Duan hugged Xuanxuan.
Duan Lun saw that his wife was playing with Xuanxuan, so he nodded, and beckoned Qin Shaochu to sit down, and the next person poured tea, and the two drank it, and after a while, Qin Shaochu said to Duan Lun: "Uncle Duan, the virtuous nephew came to the house today, in addition to New Year's greetings, there is something else to say." ”
Duan Lun put down the cup, "Oh, nephew Qin Xian, you say." ”
Hearing Duan Lun's words, Qin Shaochu stood up and said, "Uncle, after this year's events, I have fallen in love with Qiu Yue, so I came here to propose marriage, hoping that you can marry Qiu Yue to me." ”
Over there, Duan Qiuyue and Mrs. Duan pricked up their ears, intending to hear what Duan Lun had to say.
Duan Lun looked at Duan Qiuyue at this time and called her over.
Duan Qiuyue heard her father calling herself, and hurriedly walked over. "Daddy"
Duan Lun looked at Duan Qiuyue,. Then he asked: "Qiuyue, Qin Xian's nephew said that he wanted to propose marriage, let me marry you to him, are you willing?" ”
As soon as she heard this, Duan Qiuyue's face turned red, she glanced at Qin Shaochu, and then whispered, "Dad, I am willing." ”
Duan Lun nodded with satisfaction, and said to Qin Shaochu: "Nephew Qin Xian, I think you have also heard, my family Qiuyue said that she is willing, and I, who am a father, will not break you up for the happiness of my daughter." ”
"Since you're all nodding, I'm going to say a few words here."
Qin Shaochu nodded, "Uncle, please speak." ”
Duan Lun: "Well, my Qiuyue, I watched her grow up, Qiuyue will go to your Qin Mansion when the time comes, I hope you will treat her well, don't bully her, otherwise I just don't want my official position, and I won't let you go." ”
Qin Shaochu hurriedly said: "Uncle Duan, please rest assured, I am wholeheartedly devoted to Qiuyue, and I feel that I will not let her down, let alone do anything to be sorry for her." ”
Duan Lun heard Qin Shaochu's words and nodded with satisfaction, "Well, okay, you have to do what you say." ”
"Uncle, please rest assured"
Duan Lun: "Okay, in that case, can you think about when you will get married?" ”
Qin Shaochu arched his hand: "Uncle, I and Qiuyue are all up to my uncle." ”
Duan Lun thought for a while, and then said: "Well, let's do it, in two days, I'll ask when it is the auspicious day of the zodiac, and after saying hello, I think you will get married." ”
Qin Shaochu hurriedly said to Duan Qiuyue: "Thank you, uncle, thank you, father." ”
Seeing his daughter's happy appearance, Duan Lun was also very happy. When Mrs. Duan heard this, she wiped the corners of her eyes and smiled happily.
Soon the time came to noon, and the subordinates also prepared the meal, and at the dinner table, Qin Shaochu toasted Duan Lun, and after drinking for a while, Duan Qiuyue pulled Qin Shaochu. Duan Lun was a little curious when he saw his daughter like this.
"What's the matter, Akizuki,"
Duan Qiuyue glanced at Qin Shaochu, and then said, "Dad, Qin Gongzi, he can't drink much." ”
When Duan Lun heard this, he laughed, "Okay, let's stop drinking, come to Qin Xian's nephew, let's eat vegetables, eat vegetables." ”
Qin Shaochu had no choice but to smile awkwardly,
In the afternoon, Qin Shaochu chatted with Duan Lun for a while, and the two discussed it, and Qin Shaochu said, "Uncle, I think we will go to the guest inn to eat tonight, what do you think." ”
When Duan Lun heard this, he hurriedly nodded, agreed, and said that he would definitely go at night.
Qin Shaochu said goodbye to Duan Lun, explaining that he would go back to prepare first, Duan Lun nodded and agreed, at this time, Qiuyue saw that Qin Shaochu was leaving with Xuanxuan, so she said a word to Duan Lun, and chased after Duan Lun shyly.
Duan Lun looked at Mrs. Duan, and both of them laughed.
Qin Shaochu watched Duan Qiuyue also walk out, smiled slightly, and then took Duan Qiuyue's hand and walked towards Qin's mansion. Duan Si, Chen Er, and the others watched Qin Shaochu hold Duan Qiuyue's hand, and several people nodded in their hearts.
Walking into the Qin Mansion, Qin Shaochu looked at the people in the mansion and said, "Tonight, we will all go to the guest inn for dinner,"
Everyone hurriedly said, "Thank you, thank you, Young Master Qin." ”
Qin Shaochu told Duan Qiuyue that he would go to the palace to see His Majesty first, Duan Qiuyue nodded and said come back early.
Qin Shaochu nodded with a smile, and then left the Qin Mansion and walked towards the palace.
After a while, Qin Shaochu came to the door of the Taiji Palace, said to the doorman, and then walked in.
Li Shimin was listening to the people below in the Taiji Hall at this time, and when these people finished speaking, they saw that Great Qin Shaochu was coming, and said, "Qin Aiqing, you are back." ”
Qin Shaochu stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, Weichen is back." ”
Li Shimin nodded: "Well, good"
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen came to the palace because he had something to say"
Li Shimin said curiously: "Oh, Qin Aiqing, you say." ”
Qin Shaochu then said: "Your Majesty, Weichen plans to have a banquet for Your Majesty at the Kelai Inn tonight, I wonder if Your Majesty can go?" ”
Li Shimin laughed, "Qin Aiqing, I have long planned to go to your inn to have a look, and now I hear you mention it, then I want to taste the food of your inn tonight." ”
Qin Shaochu smiled and said, "Then thank you, Your Majesty." After speaking, he said to the other officials in the Taiji Palace: "If you come to the inn, I will definitely greet you well." ”
These officials in the Taiji Hall heard Qin Shaochu's words and hurriedly said, "Then thank you Dean Qin." ”
After a while, Qin Shaochu left the palace and walked towards the Tang Agricultural College, came to the academy, looked at the scene inside, and Qin Shaochu nodded with satisfaction.
Then he explained his intention to these teachers, and these teachers nodded hurriedly, indicating that they would definitely go.
When Qin Shaochu heard their words, he was polite, then left the academy, returned to the Qin Mansion and nodded to Duan Qiuyue, and then took Duan Qiuyue Xuanxuan and the others to the guest inn.
