Chapter 212: Passed
After the two generals discussed a few words there, they turned around and smiled at Yan Zhizhou and said:
"Adults don't have to worry, let the convoy stop first, and the little ones go to the front to check, on this Shandong Road, there are no bandits who dare to offend the Jiaozhou battalion."
Although he said it with great confidence, the two men who sent the general began to be very cautious, and one of the people who led the general team of fifty people formed a formation, trotted towards the side of the village, and shouted there halfway through:
"This is the car of the Jiaozhou battalion guard, no one should disperse quickly!"
No matter how you look at it, there are many of them, but the two hundred foot soldiers led by the general still dare to reprimand loudly, this is the self-confidence cultivated, hearing this, Li Meng looked down at his own clothes, sure enough, this is not the standard of the cavalry of the Jiaozhou battalion, but the cloth specially made for Caozhou.
Seeing the two generals approaching, Wang Hai hurriedly rode out of the queue and shouted:
"What are you shouting about there, don't you see that this is an adult here?"
As soon as they saw Wang Hai on the horse, these people peeked at the side of the road again, and immediately recognized Li Meng, and a group of people knelt down in a hurry, and said:
"See the adults, the little ones didn't see it clearly, and I hope the adults won't be weird."
Li Meng waved his hand, clamped the horse's belly, and urged the horses to go on the official road, and the guards hurriedly followed, originally the old and young in Yan Zhizhou's convoy were not worried, but looked forward to watching those "not long-eyed" bandits on the side of the road kneeling and begging for mercy, who knew that the soldiers who escorted were actually kneeling there.
Seeing hundreds of people and horses slowly coming towards this side, these people were suddenly frightened, thinking that they had been majestic all the way, and finally met the more vicious "king", listening to the commotion in the team getting bigger and bigger, Yan Zhizhou frowned and turned around on the horse, and shouted:
"What's the mess, there's no decency, be quiet!"
The people almost never saw Yan Zhizhou lose his temper like this, they were all frightened, and when they saw that their master was extremely calm, they all quieted down, and Yan Zhizhou, who was on the horse, sighed, he recognized where these cavalry in front of him were.
Yan Zhizhou sighed on the horse, and regardless of the "horse bandits" who were riding over on the opposite side, the trembling butler beside him said:
"Go and bring those two wagons."
The housekeeper didn't react for a while, Yan Zhizhou emphasized it again, the housekeeper immediately understood, he was still trembling like chaff all over his body, but at this time, he was excited, with a very strange look on his face, and asked:
"Master, but those two are for Miss."
Yan Zhizhou sighed and nodded, the housekeeper had a smile on his face, and hurriedly ran towards the back, Yan Zhizhou led the horse to the front of a carriage behind, and said in a deep voice:
"Don't be frightened, Madame, it's someone you know."
Mrs. Zhizhou and her daughter were riding in different carriages, the movement outside was so loud, and the female relatives in the car were also a little frightened, Yan Zhizhou said in the past to appease him, Yan Zhizhou said that acquaintances do not need to be frightened in front, since they are acquaintances, Mrs. Yan also knows that she must not be familiar with what bandits sound horses, and she must ask who is stopping over there, and the convoy is so frightened.
Yan Zhizhou, who was on the side of the car, was really embarrassed, how to explain the identity of the person opposite, and hesitated for a long time before he spoke:
"It's really a woman's ......"
There was silence in the car for a while, and Mrs. Yan was also a smart person, so she could naturally figure it out, and soon after, there was laughter in the carriage, and Yan Zhizhou pondered it immediately, and also smiled bitterly.
Li Meng had already dismounted from his horse, and Wang Hai was commanding the soldiers to lead the convoy to the open space on the edge of the village, but the subordinates of the Zhizhou Mansion knew the officers and soldiers of the Jiaozhou Battalion, and they still often dealt with some people.
Now the atmosphere of this meeting is indeed a little strange, everyone seems to be a festival, talking and laughing there to transfer the carriages and horses, settle the population, and travel for most of the day, and it is also appropriate to rest in this village.
Compared with other people's lively mentality, the party is really a little wrong, Li Meng walked under Yan Zhizhou's horse, looked up at Yan Zhizhou, and coughed a few times and didn't know what to say, Yan Zhizhou was on the side of his wife's carriage at this time, and the curtain of Mrs. Yan's carriage had been lifted, and the two of them were looking at Li Meng.
Li Meng rubbed a few cheeks with his hand, feeling that this scene was very awkward, according to his expectations, Yan Zhizhou would definitely disagree with his marriage with Yan Ruoran, and he would definitely shout and scold. On his side, he is also tougher, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, he will snatch his wife back first.
Who would have thought that it would be such a scene, Yan Zhizhou and his wife did not broadcast anger after seeing him, but they looked like they knew it for a long time, this calm treatment, when Li Meng and Yan Zhizhou faced each other in the past, Yan Zhizhou was always a little faintly afraid of Li Meng, which made Li Meng always have some psychological advantages. But today is different, Li Meng found that Yan Zhizhou's eyes looking at him were not at all as weak as before.
He found that it was actually himself who was at a loss at this time, Yan Zhizhou looked at the appearance of Li Meng below, couldn't help but sneer a few times, and asked indifferently:
"On the way to the post, I met Master Li, what a coincidence!"
Mrs. Yan on the side didn't have much disgust, and looked Li Meng up and down with interest, this is the state of the mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, Li Meng wanted to answer, but was interrupted by a chatter nearby, and turned her head to look, but it was some maids gathered in front of another carriage, where they were gossiping and saying congratulations.
Li Meng's pursuit of Miss Yan's matter, the whole Zhizhou Mansion is very clear, and on weekdays, they know that the master taboos this, so they don't talk about it, but today is different, this situation is very obvious.
I don't know why, Li Meng also felt that he was blushing a little, and Yan Zhizhou opened his mouth again:
"Is there anything going on, Lord Li?"
At this time, Yan Zhizhou's attitude was completely condescending to the elders towards the juniors, but Li Meng was in the game, and he couldn't feel this change in attitude at all, and he couldn't say anything about the words that were originally on his lips. Speaking of which, Li Meng has never been in love in modern times, and it is the same in this era, this kind of thing of seeing the woman's parents is completely the first time to go into battle, strictly speaking, Yan Zhizhou has never accepted Li Meng before, but this time it is different.
The mental pressure of the old father-in-law on his son-in-law also had the same effect on Li Meng's body at this time, Li Meng lowered his head, desperately cheered himself up, turned his head to look around, but saw that on the carriage behind, the curtain was lifted a corner, and someone was secretly looking at this side.
Being watched by Yan Ruoran, Li Meng was not so embarrassed, cleared his throat, bowed down and gave a big salute, and said in a solemn voice:
"Uncle and aunt, I am here to ask Miss Yan for marriage, knowing that Miss Yan is gentle and graceful, she is a good match, so I have come to ask your second elder for advice, and I am willing to spend the rest of my life with Miss Yan."
The atmosphere of the scene became a little warm, those maids and servants were all good people, not to mention such a festive thing of courtship, looking at the old man and his wife were not too angry, Li Meng was a legend in Jiaozhou, and he had already watched it from afar.
Li Meng's guards over there were no better, they were supposed to get off the horse and rest, but they all sat on horseback, and with the advantage of height, they stretched their necks and looked over, and they were all equally interested.
Hearing Li Meng's words of asking for marriage closely, he couldn't help but bang outside, since the proposal was finished, everyone's attention immediately turned to Yan Zhizhou immediately.
Seeing Li Meng who was solemnly clasping his fists and saluting below, Yan Zhizhou hesitated, turned his head to look at Mrs. sitting in the carriage, Mrs. Yan nodded with a smile, and said softly:
"This kid is good."
Yan Zhizhou didn't make a sound, but Li Meng still maintained a state of salutation, fortunately, he was diligent in exercising, although he kept this posture, he could still support it.
Just as he was about to raise his head, Li Meng heard Yan Zhizhou sigh and said slowly:
"In the past few years, I can also see that if you are sincere to my family, the child's mind is also on you, if I don't allow this family matter, it will be unreasonable, and I don't want to say more, I just ask you to be better to Ruoran in the future, don't treat her badly, do you know?"
Listening to the above inquiry, Li Meng was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was immediately filled with joy, the Yan family agreed to his proposal, although Yan Zhizhou's voice was light, he couldn't stand the close of the people around him, they all heard it clearly, and immediately started to coax and get better, Yan Ruoran's personal maid cheered even more, and trotted back to report the news.
When the news spread to the periphery, Li Meng's personal guards and cavalry didn't know who was leading, and shouted in unison words like "congratulations" there, making the scene even more enthusiastic, Li Meng turned around and wanted to go towards the carriage that Yan Ruoran was riding, but was caught up by an older personal guard next to him, and reminded in a low voice:
"My lord, you haven't thanked the second elder yet."
Li Meng stopped with a red face, returned to Yan Zhizhou and his wife, and thanked him directly, after all, it is now the relationship between the elders and the juniors, although there are all kinds of irregularities in what he does, but in this jubilant situation, who will pay attention?
