Liu Yong's injuries are no longer serious, but he can't move at will and is wrapped in a cloth belt. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After staying in Shuijingzhuang for several days, Huang Yueqing and Ziyan were a little anxious, and they wanted to go back quickly, and they couldn't wait to find Liu Yong when they heard Dr. Zhuang Shang say that they could travel. Liu Yong also remembered Zhong Zhao, and also wanted to send Huang Yueqing back to the Huang Mansion as soon as possible, so that she could find it.
Liu Yong went to resign, but he didn't expect Sima Hui to be willing to go with him, and he had to go to Huangfu to propose marriage for him, Xu Shu and Shi Tao also wanted to join in the fun and visit Huang Chengyan.
Sima Hui had said that he wanted to propose marriage for him before, Liu Yong was still a joke, but he didn't expect this old man to really go, and he was nervous for a while, after all, he didn't know what to write about proposing, and his current identity was not very good.
"Haha...... The eldest husband acts informally, what is your identity in this troubled world, Yuan Shu has a prominent background, but in the end, he only ended up being scolded by everyone, and Huang Chengyan is not the kind of old stubborn who doesn't know how to change, as for the dowry, the old man is ready for you. Seeing Liu Yong's appearance, Sima Hui laughed and ordered, and after a while, Zhuang Ke took out many items and filled them in the courtyard, and most of Liu Yong couldn't even name them.
Sima Hui seemed to have forgotten about last night's events and returned to his original kind and kind appearance. Xu Shu also seemed to be surprised and didn't care. Only Shi Tao occasionally leaked a thoughtful demeanor.
The dealer moved quickly, and after a short time, he packed up, and the group of people and a few cars looked for their way to Xiangyang. Among them, there were three cars for the dowry alone, which really scared Liu Yong, and he really didn't know how to get it if he wanted to prepare it himself.
Shuijingzhuang is only twenty miles away from Xiangyang, and Liu Yong feels that the car has slowed down before he has been sitting for long. Looking out the window, a large city stood in front of me.
The tall city gates, the wide moat, the thick city walls, and the shiny armor guarded by the armor soldiers, all of which showed the world the strength of Jing Xiang. At the same time, the sergeants who constantly scanned the pedestrians with stern eyes were also warning everyone that if there was any abnormal movement, they would inevitably be severely punished in an instant.
There was a long queue at the gate of the city waiting to enter the city, and the guards checked one by one slowly, Liu Yong thought to himself that he really didn't know how long he would have to wait to enter the city.
But the convoy did not line up, and walked straight to the city gate from the side, provoking the people in line to point their fingers. It wasn't until a guard stopped the car that it stopped at the city gate.
"It's really bold, dare not line up, this time I was stopped, there is a lively look." There is humanity next to it.
"You stupid, didn't you see the flag marked "Sima" on the car, it must be a person with a head and a face, not something we can provoke, let's talk less. Someone else advised.
Liu Yong glanced at the man, and the man quickly lowered his head, for fear of being seen. sighed in my heart, the class system of the ancients is really powerful, and if it is placed in the future generations, I am afraid that it is a member of the central government, and it is not good to blatantly cut the queue and go through the back door, but it is natural here.
Liu Yong clearly saw that as soon as the car stopped, a sergeant in the armor of the captain quickly walked over and whispered something to the housekeeper of Shuijingzhuang in the first car, with a very respectful attitude. And when he saw that the butler had stuffed something into the arms of the captain, he ordered the guards with a smile on his face to clear the way and invite the convoy into the city.
Liu Yong was impressed by Sima Hui, although he did not have much reputation in history, but here he clearly felt how much influence he had in Jingxiang. The title of celebrity is really not something that anyone can call at random.
Xiangyang City, the political, military and economic center of Jingxiang Nine Counties, is an important town in Jingzhou, and it is extremely prosperous. As soon as I entered the city, I saw several spacious bluestone streets extending to different directions in the city, each of which was enough for eight cars to walk together, the street was full of traffic, crowded, shops on both sides, merchants gathered, quite prosperous, except that there were no high-rise buildings and neon lights, Liu Yong felt that there was not much difference from the city of later generations. Liu Yong didn't know how Chang'an and Luoyang were at this time, so they must be about the same.
The steward was very familiar with the city, and the convoy went straight down the street without the slightest pause, and the pedestrians on the street gave way one after another, and a few people were dissatisfied, but when they saw the sign of "Sima", they immediately changed to a respectful expression.
The convoy walked a few streets, turned into a quiet street, and stopped in front of a tall red-painted gate. There is a large plaque with gold characters on a black background hanging on the gate, with the book "Huangfu" on it.
I saw Ziyan get out of the car and walk towards the gate. When the guards at the gate saw Ziyan, they hurriedly shouted and saluted, and someone went to the house to report. The convoy went straight through the main entrance and parked in a large courtyard, and everyone got out of the car.
This courtyard is huge, all bluestone paving, flat and atmospheric. There is a small lake in the center, with rockery pavilions. There are four gates on all sides, one leading to the palace gate, and the others leading to different courtyards. The courtyard was clearly used to welcome guests.
The crowd didn't wait long before they saw a group of people hurrying through the gate. At the forefront, a Confucian scholar in his forties, with a goatee and a white face, could see that he must have been very handsome when he was young, but at this time he was a little haggard and full of anxiety. Confucius was followed by a woman. Liu Yong's judgment will never exceed forty, but the ancient people's maintenance methods were simple and they looked older. This woman is dressed in a light red Hanfu, with a high bun and jade hairpin, although there are many wrinkles on her face, she still does not lose her charm, and she is also a beautiful woman who has fascinated many people in later generations, dignified and luxurious, and Huang Yueqing is somewhat similar. Liu Yong secretly thought, this is his mother-in-law.
The woman's face was so anxious that if she had not been supported by the maid, she would have fallen several times. Seeing Huang Yueqing, he quickly walked past the Confucian student, ran over, and hugged his head and cried with Huang Yueqing.
When the Confucian saw that Huang Yueqing was safe and sound, he seemed to have a big stone falling in his heart, and smiled. The delicate face, the confidence of everything, and the momentum of the great Confucian celebrities suddenly appeared.
"Brother Huang, don't come unharmed, it's time for the old man to come today?" Sima Hui stepped forward and saluted with a smile.
"Haha, no matter when Mr. Shuijing comes, it's time, today there is a worker to send the little girl home, Huang is grateful." Huang Chengyan returned the salute.
The woman and Huang Yueqing cried for a while, and when she saw that many people were there, she quickly stopped, wiped away her tears, and stepped forward to greet Sima Hui.
"Brother Shuijing, please sit down in the hall, and Huang will prepare a little thin wine to thank Daen." Huang Chengyan said.
"Haha...... The old man didn't come here today to drink your thanksgiving wine, but to drink the happy wine. Sima Hui glanced at Huang Yueqing and said with a smile. Huang Yueqing was laughed at by this, and her face was flushed in an instant, and she quickly lowered her head and hid behind her mother.
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Who doesn't know that the eldest lady of the Huang family is ugly, and it is difficult for someone to propose marriage, isn't this a deliberate slap in the face.
Huang Chengyan didn't have a good seizure, but said with a bitter face: "Why did Brother Shuijing make fun of Huang, now that the dog is married, only Yueqing is still old, but for a certain reason, how can there be a happy event." ”
"Haha...... Today, the old man came to propose marriage for others, and Huang Shi is willing to agree? Come on, quickly take out the dowry. ”
Not long after, in the surprised eyes of everyone, the dowry was placed in a pile in the courtyard, so that Huang Chengyan and the woman looked at each other, wondering if they were dreaming.
Huang Chengyan is a celebrity after all, and his determination is outstanding, and he quickly came back to his senses, and forcibly endured the doubts in his heart: "If you can get Mr. Shuijing as a matchmaker, you must be born after the world's great talents, and it must be the blessing of the little girl, Huang Mou thank you very much." Please enter the Tang Dynasty to elaborate. ”
Everyone was discharged from the hospital under the guidance of Huang Chengyan, and someone came to accept the dowry.
