Chapter 156: Door-to-door proposal
"Yuyun, it's not too early, you can go back first." Liu Renyu said to Sun Yuyun, who was very happy because he bought a lot of things.
"Well, Liu Lang, then I'll go back first." Sun Yuyun replied with some reluctance.
"Yuyun, can you not call me Liu Lang?" When Liu Renyu heard this title, he immediately had a bad association, so he suggested that Sun Yuyun should not call it that.
"Why?" Sun Yuyun was puzzled.
"Because there is a word with the same sound as Liu Lang, which means a little white face who eats soft rice on Taixi's side, so I hope you don't call me Liu Lang, okay?" Liu Renyu said softly.
"That's it!" Sun Yuyun bit her fingers and thought for a long time, before her eyes lit up, and she chuckled: "Then I'll call you Yulang, okay?" ”
"Gyokuro!? This, this, well, depending on you. ”
"Okay, Yulang, I'm leaving." Sun Yuyun blinked his eyes and said such a sentence, and then he got into the carriage.
After Sun Ada said goodbye to Liu Renyu, he ordered Lao Wangtou to drive back.
The old king's head waved his whip and struck the horse's buttocks, urging the carriage to move towards Sun's mansion.
In the carriage of the carriage, Sun Yuyun lay next to the back window, waving her hand and looking at Liu Renyu until she no longer saw the man in her sight.
Liu Renyu kept making a gloomy expression when he could still see Sun Yuyun, but when Sun Yuyun's figure disappeared, he immediately asked Liu Renjie urgently: "What's the matter, how much silver do we have left?" ”
"My lord, there is ........ left, two thousand taels of silver." Liu Renjie replied softly.
"Alas! I knew it would be such a result, who wouldn't pay a price for a daughter-in-law, don't you say, Renjie? By the way, let me ask you, when your Tan Jiyun promised to marry you, did you give him anything? ”
"My lord, I gave a mountain flower and a love song." When Liu Renjie heard this question, he first smiled shyly, and then replied with a happy face.
When Liu Renyu heard this answer, it was as if he had been hit in the chest by a hammer, and he instantly felt uncomfortable.
Liu Renjie saw that his general's face was not safe, and he didn't seem to be very happy, so he wondered: "My lord, what's wrong with you?" ”
"It's nothing, I want to be quiet now." Liu Renyu said angrily.
"Quiet!? My lord, is there another mistress called Jingjing? Liu Renjie became more and more puzzled.
"You ......., alas! I said I wanted to be quiet. Liu Renyu didn't have a good air.
"My lord, the lowly position will be wrong, hehe." Liu Renjie said embarrassedly.
"That's it, we will definitely go out to kill thieves in a few days, today I will take this opportunity to find a matchmaker to propose marriage to the Sun family, Lao Tzu wants to marry Yuyun into our Liu family soon. It's just that I don't know which matchmaker in Yan'an City has the best kung fu, and you still need to ask for me. ”
"This matter is not difficult, my lord, wait a while, and come when I go to my humble position." After Liu Renjie finished speaking, he rode his horse and galloped away.
After a while, he slipped back and came back with a small flower.
"Well, I said, I asked you to inquire about the news, what are you doing when you bring a little flower back?" Liu Renyu was puzzled.
"Hehe, my lord, you don't know this! I used to be a flower child, I have been crawling around in the market for many years, and I have heard all kinds of things, everything, so what was the wind and grass in Jingbian Fort back then, such as whose widow stole a man, whose daughter made a private life or something, our door is clear, so the humble position called a flower child, and asked him if he knew which matchmaker was the most famous, and he said that he knew, and the humble position asked him to lead the way. ”
"Oh, yes, well, I'll ask. Hey, little brother, which matchmaker in our Yan'an City is the most famous? ”
The little Hanako listened to Liu Renyu's question, but he didn't answer it immediately, he smiled slyly, touched his stomach, and sighed: "This master, the little one is hungry and has no strength to say." ”
"Really!? I don't have the strength, right, it's easy to do. Come on, buy him a roast chicken. ”
"Yes, sir."
When a guard got the order, he quickly found a braised meat shop, bought a roast chicken, asked the store to wrap it in oiled paper, and sent it to Liu Renyu.
Liu Renyu put the roast chicken in front of the little beggar's nose, let the little flower smell it, first made the little flower saliva only 3,000 feet, and then he asked, "Who is it?" ”
"Chengxi Liu Po." The beggar stared at the roast chicken with straight eyes, and quickly replied.
"Take us and give you another chicken." After Liu Renyu finished speaking, he threw away the roast chicken, and the flower child took the roast chicken in his hand with an arrow step, and immediately devoured it.
And while he was eating, he said vaguely: "Woo, woo, please come with the little one." ”
After the flower child finished speaking, she nibbled on the roast chicken while running wildly, leading the way in front.
Under the guidance of this little flower, Liu Renyu and others followed all the way, and after a short time, they came to the side of a big blue brick house.
When the flower child arrived, she gasped and pointed to the house and said, "This lord, this is Liu Po's home." ”
"Well, yes, things are done very neatly, come on, come on." Liu Renyu casually threw out a tael of silver.
It is said that when the little flower saw Liu Renyu throw out a thing, out of instinct, he caught it casually, and then put it in his hand to take a look, and his whole person immediately froze.
I have lived so much, and when have I ever seen so much silver.
The little flower child received such a generous reward, and in extreme excitement, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed his head several times, and then said repeatedly: "Living Bodhisattva, thank you for your reward." ”
"It's nothing, let's buy roast chicken and eat it." Liu Renyu chuckled.
"Yes, the little one is gone." The little flower thanked Liu Renyu, and then left happily.
When the little flower left, Liu Renyu personally walked to the gate of the house, pulled up the knocker and knocked on the door gently.
"Who?" A woman's voice came from inside the door.
Then, after a while, the door creaked open, and an elderly lean half-old leaned out of half of her body to see who was coming, but she suddenly saw so many hardcover men outside the door, for some reason, she panicked, immediately retracted her head, and also vigorously closed the door.
Then the half-old asked through the door, "What do you do?" What do you want to do when you run to the old man's house? ”
When she had said this, she cried out again, "Old man, go and call our sons." ”
Liu Renyu saw this half-old behaving like this, and knew that she regarded herself and others as strongmen with bad intentions, so he had no choice but to reply loudly: "Dare to ask if you are the famous matchmaker Liu Po in Yan'an City?" ”
"The old body is, I don't know what you guys are doing looking for the old body?"
"That's right, but today I want to ask you to propose marriage for me."
"What's the kiss? It's so late, and I'll come back tomorrow. ”
Liu Renyu estimated the time, it was only 4 o'clock in the afternoon, he felt that it was not too late, but Liu Po felt very late, but he wanted to ask Liu Po for help, so he had to use the trump card.
I saw Liu Renyu take out 10 taels of silver from his arms, throw it through the door, and then said: "I also know that it's a little late, but I'm really in a hurry, so I'm willing to give 100 taels of silver to ask you to take a trip, this is 10 taels of silver, and I will make a deposit for you." ”
Liu Renyu finished throwing the silver and waited quietly, and there was no sound on the other side of the door.
After about 1 minute, the door of the house creaked open, and I saw that Liu Po twisted her waist, and her smiling facial features were about to shift and asked Liu Renyu and the others: "Yo, dare to ask which noble person wants to invite the old body to say that the matchmaker is coming?" ”
Liu Renyu pointed to his nose and replied, "It's me." ”
"It's you, please come inside, please inside." After confirming the customer, Liu Po hurriedly invited Liu Renyu and others to sit in her room.
"Okay, please." Liu Renyu said politely, and then took Liu Renjie and the others to the door.
But they said that when they were walking on the masonry road, they did not watch out for two people with sickles and hoes, and ran over with shouts, and asked loudly as they ran: "Mother, what is the matter, but has anyone come to make trouble?" ”
When Mrs. Liu saw that the two of them had come out, she didn't explain much, but replied very neatly: "No one makes trouble, there are distinguished guests, good tea, go quickly." ”
"Yes, mother." When the two men received the order, they threw their sickles and hoes to the ground, and ran into the back hall in the blink of an eye.
Between the three mothers and sons, this question and answer was handled neatly, and the two men reacted extremely quickly, only to see Liu Renyu and others breathtaking.
After Liu Po finished disposing of her two sons, she continued to walk to the living room with Liu Renyu and others with a smile on her face.
"Granny Liu, you just saw us, why did you react so violently?"
"Hey, there are some people who don't have a taste, looking for an old body to be a matchmaker. The old body has rules, find the old body to say the matchmaker, the deposit is paid first, whether it is successful or not, the deposit will not be returned, but some people have no ability to do it, they can't hold the girl, the marriage is not done, just lick their faces to ask for the deposit, where can the old body give, so some people make trouble in the old body's house, the old body has been troubled a few times, this is the heart of vigilance, today the old body mistakenly thinks that you are the person who comes to make trouble, this is more offended, and please don't blame the guests. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's always good to be careful." Liu Renyu replied nonchalantly.
"Hey, hey, a few distinguished guests, please take a seat." Liu Po led Liu Renyu and the others into the living room, sat down by herself first, and then motioned for several guests to sit down as well.
After a few distinguished guests were seated, this Liu Po opened her mouth and asked Liu Renyu: "Dare to ask this distinguished guest, whose surname is who?" Which girl did you fall in love with? ”
"I am Liu Renyu, the current garrison of Jingbian Fort, and I want to marry Sun Yuyun, the daughter of Yan'an Deputy General Sun Kuisheng, as my wife, this family affair has already been decided, but I still need a matchmaker to say that I am married, which is in line with the regulations,........., Huh!" Liu Renyu was talking about his marriage, and he didn't watch out for Liu Po's mouth opening wide and couldn't close it for a long time.
"Could it be that you're .........?" Liu Po trembled and wanted to speak.
"Liu Renyu, who single-handedly broke tens of thousands of thieves, right?" Liu Renyu asked expressionlessly.
"Yes, yes, yes, aren't you?"
"I am, but I ........" Liu Renyu was about to explain that tens of thousands of thieves were not killed by himself.
But he didn't watch out for that Liu Po suddenly bounced up from her seat, knelt on the ground and said in a loud voice: "The old woman has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, please don't blame you!" ”
After this Liu Po said this, she raised her voice and shouted loudly outside the door: "Old man, why don't you bring your two sons in and come to see Lord Liu." ”
So, Liu Po's family came to greet Liu Renyu, so Liu Renyu inevitably had a few polite words with the Liu family.
After everyone finished the ceremony, Liu Po's wife led their son away, and Liu Renyu began to get down to business: "Liu Po, the Sun family and I have reached a tacit understanding, you just set a date when you go, as for the dowry, what do you say is better?" ”
Liu Po replied respectfully: "My lord, the Sun family is a rich and noble family, this dowry can't be light no matter what, you see we want to send gold jewelry, jade, and good tea,.........。 ”
This Liu Po said a lot of words, Liu Renyu listened to the head as big as a fight, so he asked very simply: "Give you two thousand taels of silver, is this matter possible to be taken care of?" ”
"Two thousand taels!? That's no problem at all, Lord Liu. Seeing that Liu Renyu made such a bold move, Liu Po was naturally full of promises.
"Well, how to buy these dowries depends on you, I will leave this Liu Renjie Liu General to assist you here, the matter is done, 100 taels of hard money, naturally it will not be less than you."
"Hey, the old body knows, and the old body has thanked Lord Liu for the generous reward. Well, by the way, the old body just patronized to greet you, but I forgot to ask, how did you give birth to your birthday? ”
"I was born on October 11, the 34th year of Wanli, and the time is Hai Shi."
"The old body wrote it down, when we talk about matchmaking, we have to pair the eight characters to see if the eight characters match, but this is still better to ask the onmyoji to read it."
"Onmyoji, that Renjie, you can run again, go back and get another 100 taels of silver, for that Onmyoji." Liu Renyu spent a lot of money today, so he simply forgot about it generously.
And Liu Po saw that Liu Renyu threw out another hundred taels casually, and her admiration for Liu Renyu was naturally like a surging river.
After Liu Renyu arranged everything, he said to Liu Po: "Liu Po, my army will be pulled out at any time to suppress the thief, so please do it quickly, I think it is best to set it tomorrow, the wedding day, you can just help me pick an auspicious day of the zodiac, no problem, right?" ”
"You just have to rest assured, the old man doesn't care about all the things at hand first, just take care of your affairs first." Liu Po assured.
"That's very good, Renjie, you follow me back to the barracks to get some money first, and then come back, take your subordinates to find an inn to live in, and tomorrow when Po Liu goes to propose, you can make a move, help, but write it down."
"Yes, sir." Liu Renjie responded.
"Then let's go back. Po Liu, I'll leave first, and tomorrow my subordinates will come to you with money. ”
"Yes, my lord, the old body knows, my lord, you go slowly." Liu Po bowed and said.
"Well, very good, then let's go first."
After Liu Renyu finished speaking, he led a group of his subordinates back to the barracks first.
Liu Renjie took the silver taels, and returned to Yan'an Cheng with a few of his subordinates, waiting to go with Liu Po.
