Chapter 111: Asking for Li Gou (Part II)
Li Xuanba walked around Luoyang North City, and the news of his return soon reached Li Gou's ears. Li Gou led several of the most famous matchmakers in the city, who had just been driven out by the Du Mansion, and was in a very bad mood, but the moment he returned to the Tang Mansion, his face became full of smiles and a little flattery.
trotted all the way to Li Xuanba's door, and saw that Li Jiuzhi happened to come out of the room, so he hurriedly asked with his eyes, Li Jiuzhi grinned at the corners of his mouth, and fled with water.
"Must have been betrayed." Li Gou muttered and knocked on the door dejectedly.
"It turns out that you still know the way back to the Tang State Mansion." When Li Xuanba saw Li Gou, he said in a flat tone: "Those children, are you going to care?" ”
"Childe is angry." Li Gou took the towel in Li Xuanba's hand diligently, and said with a smile on his face: "The villain has some personal matters these days, so he temporarily handed over those children to Mr. Wei and Mr. Fang." ”
"What's the matter?" Li Xuanba's attitude was very cold, and the coldness made Li Gou a little flustered and a little surprised, but Li Xuanba didn't look at him, and continued: "If you feel that you have done something wrong, then from now on, go back to the room and die behind closed doors, no one is allowed to see you, and you are not allowed to leave the room for half a step without my order." ”
"Yes." Although Li Gou felt inexplicable and wanted to explain, he saw that Li Xuanba had no intention of listening to his explanation, so he honestly bowed down and returned to his room to think about it
"Master, master, something is wrong." Before Du Yu got up, he heard the shouts of Butler Du outside the door, he secretly said bad luck, and then under the service of the concubine, he got dressed and got out of bed.
"What's the noise in the early morning?" Du Yu frowned and said, "Could it be that the subordinate is here again?" These days, Du Yu is indeed a little upset by Li Gou.
Steward Du said in a panic: "That's not true. ”
"Then what are you panicking about?" Du Yu said angrily: "It's freezing this day, if you have something to say, say it quickly, otherwise you want me to freeze to death outside?" ”
"When Du Qi opened the door in the morning, he found that there were a lot of ox carts outside the door, and when the villain heard the news, he ran to take a look, and there were more than a dozen ox carts parked outside the door." Steward Du gasped and said, "Master, do you want to report to the official?" ”
Du Yu was a little lustful, but he didn't do anything hurtful, he asked himself if it was possible for an enemy to come to the door, snorted coldly, and said, "What kind of official!" Let me take a look. ”
Many people gathered in front of the Du Mansion, and dozens of ox carts suddenly appeared, attracting the attention of many people.
"I don't know if you have any advice when you come to my Du Mansion?" Du Yu went out to see that there were more than twenty ox carts outside the house? However, he didn't care to blame Steward Du, and said to those who got off the ox cart.
The so-called big family is only relative, in front of Li Gou, the Du family can be described as unattainable, but in the eyes of those big families in Dongjun, the Du family is not worth mentioning at all, so no one pays attention to Du Yu at all, which makes him so embarrassed.
The Du family has been operating poorly in recent years and has lost a lot, but Du Yu's eyesight is not bad, he can see from the decoration of the ox carts in front of the door that these people in front of him are very rich masters.
As soon as he arrived, the carriage of the Tang Mansion passed through the crowd and stopped in the middle of the ox cart, Li Xuanba helped Cai Wei get down from the carriage, and was also surprised to see so many cars parked outside the Du Mansion.
"Mr. Zhu, your position is a little big." Li Xuanba apologized to Cai Wei, walked up to Zhu Zhe, and said, "Xuanba thought that he could come to a few households, but he didn't expect so many people to come. After speaking, he arched his hand to the people around him to show his gratitude, and everyone smiled and returned the salute, judging the same attitude towards Du Yu as before.
"Presumably you are Master Du." Li Xuanba turned to Du Yu and said, "Xiaosheng Li Xuanba, the third son of the Tang State Mansion, came to visit rashly, please forgive me." ”
The corners of Du Yu's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart: You came with so many people, how dare I have an opinion? He hurriedly returned the salute and said, "The grass people have seen Lord Zhongyongwei, I don't know what advice the adults have when they go to the cold house?" ”
"Xuanba has a friend who admires the young lady of your mansion, but in order to prove his sincerity, Master Du set a problem for him." Li Xuanba said with a smile: "Xuanba saw that this friend didn't think about tea and dinner, and he couldn't bear it, so he came to ask for him to kiss. ”
When Li Xuanba reported his home, Du Yu had already guessed his intention, but he was not sure whether Li Xuanba had the attitude of asking for guilt. After listening to Li Xuanba's words, Du Yu put his heart at ease and said with a smile: "It is really a blessing for a little girl to be favored by that son. ”
Du Yu's reaction was extremely fast, and he heard many extraneous meanings from Li Xuanba's answer.
First of all, Li Xuanba called Li Gou a friend, not a subordinate of the Tang State Mansion, which shows that Li Gou still has some identity, and Li Xuanba said this, which can be regarded as saving face for the Du family.
Secondly, Li Xuanba did not say that the Du family intended to make things difficult, which means that Li Xuanba really came to ask for Li Gou's marriage, not to demonstrate to the Du family.
"What does Master Du mean?" Li Xuanba pretended not to understand, and asked knowingly, "Could it be that Master Du believes in the sincerity of my friend?" ”
When Du Yu saw Li Xuanba, Cai Xianjiu and others, he actually no longer objected to his daughter's relationship with Li Gou, and at this time, in the face of countless onlookers, he didn't dare to say anything to refuse, otherwise he would inevitably have a grudge with the Tang State Mansion.
"Lord Zhongyongwei and the Lord of the Imperial Prison of the Kingdom came forward in person, how could the grass people doubt his sincerity?" Du Yu said with a smile: "The grass people promised the adults that they would never interfere in the marriage of the little girl, and everything was up to her." ”
"Master Du is really a man of temperament, and Xuanba admires him." Li Xuanba smiled meaningfully and said, "After Xuanba goes back, I will ask someone to choose a good day, so that they can get married earlier, and save more dreams at night." ”
Du Yu originally thought that if something happened in the future, he would refuse to do such a family affair on the grounds of his daughter's attitude, but he didn't expect Li Xuanba to directly block the retreat. He had no choice but to say: "Everything is up to the adults." ”
"Hey, I almost forgot, the doctor of Guozijian is also here, just ask them to help choose an auspicious day." Li Xuanba patted his head, looked like he suddenly woke up, and said, "Lord Sacrificial Wine, I have to bother you for a while." ”
Seeing that Li Xuanba was so aggressive, Cai Wei felt that it was a little inappropriate, but it was difficult to refute it out loud, and after glancing at Li Xuanba, he discussed it with several doctors accompanying him. The doctor of etiquette had already remembered this year's auspicious day, so after only discussing it for a moment, Cai Xijiu walked up to Li Xuanba and said, "Five days later will be a good day and an auspicious day, which is very suitable for marriage." ”
Before Du Yu could say that the time was in a hurry, Li Xuanba preemptively said, "Nothing earlier?" Cai Xianjiu shook his head, and Li Xuanba continued with a hint of disappointment: "Since that's the case, just that day, does Master Du have any opinions?" ”
"The grass people don't dare." Du Yu took a deep breath and replied calmly.
"If Master Du thinks it's inappropriate, you can say it, we will be a family in the future, and everything can be discussed." Li Xuanba smiled and said: "If Master Du really has no opinion, then please prepare for Master Du, and five days later, my Tang Guogong Mansion will come to greet you." ”
In front of so many people, the marriage has been decided, what else can Du Yu say? I could only smile wryly and nod. Since Li Xuanba didn't tear his face, did he Du Yu still want to find himself unhappy?
Li Xuanba is from the imperial court, Cai Wei is from Guozijian, Zhu Zhe and others are all big families, such a lineup fully meets the conditions proposed by Du Yu, even if he tears his face, he still has to marry his daughter.
After the business was over, Zhu Zhe and the others said goodbye and left, and Li Xuanba wanted to send Cai Wei and others back to their homes, so he was not too polite, and said goodbye to everyone, and made it clear that he would definitely visit him if he had a chance in the future.
In addition to Cai Wei, a total of five doctors came, and Li Xuanba invited a few of them to the restaurant for a drink. After noon, they were sent home, and some silver was secretly stuffed, and the five doctors did not refuse.
Cai Wei didn't leave the silver, but said to Li Xuanba seriously: "Don't do this kind of thing in the future, it will ruin your reputation." ”
"Xuanba still has any reputation." Li Xuanba smiled, and then said sincerely: "Lord Sacrificial Wine, thank you for your help this time." ”
"Even if you are the only one who proposes marriage, the Du family will not refuse, we people are just going through the motions." Cai Wei said: "If you have the heart, the next time you go back to Luoyang, remember to send some more questions to Guozijian." ”
Li Xuanba nodded, watched Cai Wei return home, and then boarded the carriage. He thought for a while in the carriage and said, "Go back to the Tang State Mansion." ”
