Chapter 130: There are twists and turns in the marriage proposal
With the sound of drums, the street with few people suddenly became lively, and people pushed open the gates one after another, first probing their brains out to observe. The pen %fun %www.biquge.info immediately stepped out of the house and came to the street.
Everyone saw this column, the four people carried a box with a big red flower, and then they heard the sound of the drum music and knew that they were going to propose or welcome the family, and then looked back at Liu Mei in a new purple dress, and Mei Zizi was sitting on a tall horse with a red body, and knew that Uncle Guo had a happy event.
Because everyone lives in the neighborhood, Liu Mei doesn't know everyone, but people know Liu Mei, just like now, the county magistrate may not know ordinary people, but most of the people know who the county magistrate is.
I only heard a loud discussion from the crowd, and said: "Hey, look at the one who is riding the big red horse, isn't it Liu Mei!" ”
The man said: "I'm not blind, of course I know that person is Liu Mei, isn't it just a fake uncle of the country, what's the big deal!" ”
The third person said: "Why is it nothing great, don't you see that people are going on a blind date!" ”
The first said: "Hmph, what's so great about a blind date, it's not that I haven't been on a blind date." ”
The second person pouted disdainfully and said: "Don't brag here, okay, when have you ever tasted a blind date as a bachelor!" ”
The third person said: "Yes, this Liu Mei has just died on the front foot, and the back foot is going on a blind date, that is the ability of others, who let you not have a beautiful sister!" ”
The first said: "Humph! What kind of girl, that's Liu Mei's wife, I don't know how to hook up with the emperor. ”
The second person hurriedly said: "Silence, I don't know what trouble comes from the mouth!" ”
The first person was so frightened that he hurriedly covered his mouth and looked nervously.
People are like this, and they can't see that others are better and happier than themselves.
Especially people who were equal to themselves in the past. Once you become an official or become rich, some people will make up stories out of nothing, not to mention that you Liu Mei yourself is a person with a story!
Chen Lang, who was riding a white horse and following Liu Mei's left side, turned around and glared at the three people fiercely, and the three guys hurriedly got into the crowd in fright, not knowing where to hide.
This team, blowing and beating all the way, soon came to the shantytown where the relocated households on Freezer Street lived in Wanshoumen.
Far away, Liu Mei said to the drummers: "I said that you guys cheer me up, and when you arrive at the door of my future father-in-law's house, give me a strong blow." ”
The drummers said, "Uncle Guo, don't worry!" ”
Soon, he walked to the shantytown, and the drummer's head pointed to the front and said, "Uncle Guo, I have arrived at this time, and I haven't found any gate in that house, so what should we do!" ”
Liu Mei opened her mouth a few times, she didn't know what to say, or Chen Lang's brain was spinning fast, and shouted: "Stupid, you didn't see the gate and stood here blowing, give me a blow." ”
As soon as the drummers heard this, the drummers hurriedly threw off their arms, knocked on the drums, and beat hard, and the suona players hurriedly puffed up their cheeks, and squeaked and squeaked, and suddenly, this lifeless shantytown became lively, and people in ragged clothes and vegetables poured out of the straw mat shed, and many children even ran out with bare butts to see the excitement.
Liu Mei was a little dazed when she saw all this: "Chen Lang, where is this turtle son, why are these broken straw mat sheds all made of one mold, this is where Yue'er lives." ”
Chen Lang rode on the horse and naturally had a wide field of vision, pointed to the front and said with a smile: "Uncle Mei, you are really a fan of the authorities, look, isn't that Yue'er's home!" ”
Liu Mei looked in the direction of Chen Lang's finger, and saw Yue'er standing at a broken straw mat shed beckoning to her, hurriedly jumped off the horse and ran over, and said with tears: "Yue'er, I used to think that your family was poor, but I really didn't expect it to be so poor." ”
Yue'er's eyes turned red and said, "Uncle Mei, let you laugh!" ”
Liu Mei hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I'm not laughing, I only hate myself for being late in proposing marriage, which made you suffer more." ”
At this time, Ding Qian and Chen Lang commanded the porter to carry the two large boxes to the open space in front of the straw mat shed.
Chen Lang pointed to the box and said, "Yue'er, hurry up and invite your father and brother to come and see Uncle Mei's bride price, a thousand taels of snowflakes and silver for two catties." ”
Yue'er turned around and said disdainfully to the three old and young people standing there: "Dad, brother, go and take a look, these are Yue'er's body sale money." ”
The old man choked up a few times and nodded, but Yue'er's two elder brothers rushed to the box at once, couldn't wait to open the box, and knelt down in front of the white silver with a "poof", grinning and crying: "Oh my God, we are rich, we are rich!" ”
Hearing this scream full of joy in pathos, Liu Mei nodded heavily and didn't say anything!
Ding Qian and Chen Lang looked at the two brothers who were kneeling in front of the box, and saw that the eyes of the two brothers flashed with dazzling blue light, just like the greedy gaze of a hungry wolf when he sees a lamb.
Money is a thing that can expose people's good and bad nature, yesterday it was still the pain of the heart, but today it may be singing and cheering, is this the nature of people!
After Chen Lang glanced at it, he didn't pay attention to the ugliness of the two brothers, but walked in front of Yue'er's father, and said in a calm voice: "Old man, you see that the bride price of 1,000 taels of silver has been placed there, you see when my beautiful uncle will come to marry Yue'er!" ”
Yue'er's father said, "You can do it yourself!" ”
Chen Lang said: "Okay, old man, then you are ready to prepare, three days later, we will come to marry Yue'er." ”
Before Yue'er's parents could speak, Yue'er's eldest brother jumped up from the box and said: "No, is it easy for our family to raise such a sister as Yue'er, since she was a child, she was afraid of falling in her hands, and she was afraid of melting in her mouth, and when she grew up, she was still afraid that she would be wronged and tired, and she would not be allowed to stretch out her hand for any work, not to mention the golden branches and jade leaves, and she could not marry my fairy-like sister for a thousand taels of silver!" ”
Yue'er trembled with anger, stretched out her hand and pointed at her eldest brother and said, "You guys are so shameful!" As he spoke, he covered his face and ran away crying.
Liu Mei was so angry that her lips were blue and she said, "You, why are you such scoundrels!" ”
At this time, Yue'er's second brother ran over and said: "Who said that we are scoundrels, this is a willing to beat, a willing to suffer, and a consensual thing, even if we sue the government, we are justified." ”
Liu Mei trembled and pointed at the two brothers: "You ......" was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Chen Lang stepped forward and said: "Okay, there are really two of you brothers, didn't you say it, even if you sue the government, it is reasonable, then let's see you at the yamen of Kaifeng Mansion." As he spoke, he stepped forward and helped Liu Mei up, "Uncle Mei, let's go back." ”
Liu Mei stomped her feet and said, "Go back?" But in this way, when will the hard days of the moon come to an end! ”
Chen Lang said: "Uncle Mei! Don't worry, I'll leave the rest to me, and I'll let Yue'er's two brothers who aren't human spit out our silver. ”
Liu Mei sighed and said: "Alas, Chen Lang, this money is a trivial matter, you can ignore it, the key is that you let them not hinder Yue'er from getting married." ”
Ding Qian stepped forward and said, "Uncle Mei! You are calm and calm, looking at this momentum, it will take some twists and turns to marry Yue'er. ”
Liu Mei said: "What a lot of trouble, isn't it just silver!" Hurry back and I'll figure it out. ”
Ding Qian said: "Oh, Uncle Mei, I understand your mood at this time, but don't you see it, Yue'er's two brothers are bottomless pits, no matter how much you give them, they will never be satisfied." ”
Liu Mei said with a crying voice: "Then what should I do, do you want Yue'er to continue to be beaten and tortured by those two beasts in this family!" ”
Ding Qian said: "Uncle Mei, the wicked still have to be grinded by the wicked, just leave this matter to Chen Lang." ”
Uncle Mei grabbed a straw like a drowning man, and suddenly grabbed Chen Lang's sleeve tightly and said, "Chen Lang, is this the case!" ”
Chen Lang didn't speak, just nodded solemnly.
Liu Mei said: "Amitabha, that's good, Chen Lang, Yue'er's affairs are entrusted to you, please." If Uncle Mei can really marry Yue'er home, he is really grateful. ”
Chen Lang stretched out his hand and patted Liu Mei's shoulder and comforted: "Uncle Mei, you just have to rest assured, the matter between you and Yue'er was brokered by me, and the matter of the bride price was also negotiated with them by me, but I didn't expect them to change the hexagram, this is not to use my Chen Lang's face as a big cake, you can rest assured, I will help you come back with my head arched in this field, I don't believe that Yue'er's two brothers can turn the sky up." ”
Ding Qian stepped forward to help Liu Mei and dragged him onto the big red horse, then took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and said to the porter and drummers: "I'm really sorry, this matter was messed up today, give this twenty taels of silver, you guys take it and divide it, whether it's more or less, it's the right to be the salary!" ”
The porters and drummers said: "Shopkeeper, we didn't expect such a thing, since this matter is quite blocked, we don't want the salary." ”
Ding Qian said: "Then how can it be, after all, you have been busy for most of the day, and your wife and children are still waiting for you to earn money to make a living!" ”
Those people listened and said, "Shopkeeper, you two and Uncle Guo are really good people!" ”
Ding Qian waved his hand and said, "Okay, you guys should go home quickly, remember to hire you when Uncle Guo marries in a few days." ”
When those people heard this, they thanked them again, and then they went home.
Ding Qian, Chen Lang stepped on the horse, one left and one right like two loyal guards, supporting Liu Mei, ready to reach out to help at any time, Liu Mei at this time was like an eggplant beaten by autumn frost - wilted.
He no longer had the vigor he had when he came, but hung his head listlessly, and sat on the saddle of the fire dragon horse, as if a gust of wind could lift the uncle off his horse.
Chen Lang glanced at Liu Mei with pity, and said to Ding Qian with a long sigh: "Alas, I didn't expect that this time it would be such a big blow to Uncle Mei!" ”
Ding Qian said sympathetically: "It's no wonder that he, let alone Uncle Mei, no one can accept these blows if they change to another person!" After all, people are bloody, and that one suffers. ”
Chen Lang sat on the horse and snorted: "Bah,, I don't believe that I Chen Lang can't help Uncle Mei out of this." ”
Ding Qian said worriedly: "Then how do you help Uncle Mei get this breath out, is to find a group of people to beat Brother Yue'er, and then snatch back the 1,000 taels of silver." ”
Chen Lang shook his head and said, "Ding Qian, this matter has to be put aside, I may do it, but now that I think about it, it is all pediatrics, and it can't be put on the table." ”
Ding Qian said: "Then what are you going to do!" ”
Chen Lang smiled slyly and said, "Keep it secret for the time being, and the secret of heaven cannot be leaked." ”
