Back at home, Li Tu saw a familiar figure standing in his house, gossiping with his mother Zheng. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The girl wore a peach bun on her head, and her bright face was particularly moving. She is wearing a new set of pleated skirts, which shows off her graceful figure. In this Qianting Town, there is no second woman who is so beautiful, it is Cui He, the second daughter of Cui Xianggong Cui's family in the town.

Seeing Li Tu walking into the house, Cui He turned his body and turned his back to Li Tu, seemingly very unhappy.

Seeing this, Zheng said to Li Tu with a smile: "My son, Cui He has often come to my house to help this year. She helped me feed the chickens, and when I sold food, Cui He also helped me bargain. ”

Li Tu smiled and arched his hand at Cui He and said, "Thank you Miss Cui for taking care of my mother." ”

Cui He turned his back to Li Tu and refused to speak.

Seeing Cui He's appearance, Zheng said with a smile: "I heard that you have come back these days, and Cui He comes to our house every day." The day before yesterday, yesterday, all came, who knew that you were on the ship and didn't go home. I'm here again today, and I'm finally running into you! ”

Li Tu hurriedly said: "It turns out that Sister Cui has come so many times, and I didn't wait to greet her, but it was rude." ”

Cui He turned his back to Li Tu and snorted fiercely, still refusing to turn around.

Li Tu thought for a moment and took out a box from the house. When I opened the box, it contained a box of pastries. Li Tu took out a piece and handed it to Cui He, and said with a smile: "This is a special light soup from Kagoshima in the Japanese country, Sister Cui will try it." ”

Hearing that there was something delicious, Cui He turned half of his body and took a piece.

After taking a bite, Cui He said indifferently: "Sweet, it's quite delicious!" ”

Li Tu hurriedly said: "Do you want more?" And here's more. ”

Cui He reluctantly refused, took a piece blankly, and grabbed it in his hand. After thinking about it, Cui He said, "You bought it for me from the Wa Kingdom?" ”

Li Tu nodded and said with a smile: "Does Sister Cui like to eat?" Take it all! ”

Cui He took the box and complained: "It's as if you say I'm so delicious!" ”

Li Tu smiled: "Thank you Sister Cui for taking care of my mother." ”

After thinking about it, Cui He said: "I heard that you became the leader of the Tongfan ship and made a lot of silver. ”

Finally found an opportunity to interject, Xu San said loudly: "You don't know this girl, Brother Li, a young hero, saved our ship twice, and now he has been promoted to the chief shopkeeper of the ship, with a salary of two hundred taels a year." ”

Cui He was stunned and said, "Two hundred taels? That's amazing! ”

Li Tu saw that Cui He was naïve and cute, and said, "I also earned a lot of rewards!" ”

Cui Heyan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "I already knew that sooner or later you would become very powerful!" ”

Cui He asked again: "Why didn't you go home and don't look for me?" ”

Li Tu smiled: "Your family is a scholarly family, and I am a man who goes to your house to find you as a girl, isn't he going to be beaten out?" ”

Cui He said: "Then you go to my father, I said a lot of good things about you in front of my father, he will definitely let me come out to see you." ”

waited in Qianting Town for more than half a year before Li Tu came back, and Cui Yiyi was aggrieved by his stomach. At this time, seeing that Li Tu was not grateful for her kind words in front of her father, she snorted again and stomped her foot.

Seeing that Cui He was about to have another seizure, Li Tu took it out of his arms and took out a comb.

The comb was the size of a palm, made of boxwood, and had a tight texture. The comb is coated with a layer of transparent tree lacquer to add a bit of shine to the comb. The handle of the comb is painted with a few small circular color patterns, which looks very elegant.

Li Tu thought about it, handed the comb to Cui He, and said with a smile: "Sister Cui, do you see if this comb looks good." ”

Cui He looked at the comb and blinked, and asked in surprise, "This is for me?" ”

Li Tu smiled, "Yes, I bought it in Hirado, Japan!" Bought specifically for you. ”

According to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, when a man gives a comb to a girl, he is privately appointed for life.

Hearing this, Cui He's face was overjoyed, and a bright smile came out. The bright face radiated a luster, as if the begonia flowers were blooming, and for a while it seemed to illuminate the dilapidated house with a little light, which was refreshing. It was the traverser Li Tu, who saw such a bright face, and also gave birth to a little nostalgia.

Taking the wooden comb, Cui He put it in his hand and looked left and right, full of joy. But after a few seconds, Cui He deflated her mouth again, deflated her mouth into a strange shape, and she muttered: "As soon as you go to sea, it will be a year." The next time I go to sea, I don't know when I will come back! ”

Hearing this daughter's coquettishness, Li Tu was also a little moved, and gave birth to a little gentleness.

I ignored Cui He before because the gap between the wealth and status of the two sides was too big. But now, Li Tu has earned a few hundred taels of silver on the Zaixing, and the future is bright, and his mind has changed: since such a beautiful girl is his childhood sweetheart and loves him, then marry her!

Patting his head, Li Tu said with a smile: "Sister Cui, you wait for me to buy a piece of land in the town to build a big house, and when the house is repaired next year, I will go to your house to marry you!" ”

Suddenly hearing Li Tu's words, Cui He's face turned red all of a sudden. Not daring to look at Li Tu anymore, Cui He only looked at his embroidered shoes with his eyes, and grabbed the corners of his clothes with his hands.

"Okay...

Agreeing lightly, Cui He stopped talking, only blushed, holding the comb and the box, and slowly walked out of the courtyard of the Li family and walked towards his own house.

#####

The next day, Li Tu felt the need to go to Cui's house to prepare for the future proposal. Bringing a high-quality Japanese knife, Li Tu took Xu San and walked to Cui's house.

The courtyard of the Cui family is located in the west of Qianting Town, and it is a wide house with three entrances. Although the mansion is a little old and not very gorgeous, there are also gatehouses with cornices and arches on the shadow wall, as if telling the glory of the family's history.

Li Tu knocked on the door, and a servant came out. They gave their names, and the servant led them in.

The fact that Li Tu made a lot of money by going to the sea has spread all over Qianting Town. At this time, Li Tu's self-confidence in his gestures also made the servants of the Cui family look at it differently. If Li Tu had been digging in the soil and being a farmer, I am afraid that the master of the Cui family might not be able to look down on him and might not have time to receive him.

Li Tu sat down in the main hall, and not long after, he saw a middle-aged man in his forties walk out.

The middle-aged man was of medium stature, slightly fat, wearing a square scarf on his head, and a set of student uniforms, showing his talent status. The middle-aged man has a long beard, a pair of sword eyebrows, and a straight nose. Li Tu observed the middle-aged man and found that his hands were very large, bigger than Xu San's big hands.

This is Cui He's father, Cui Guangzhi.
