Chapter 503: Proposing to the Dong Family (I)

Liu Fan didn't know about the conversation between Liu Ru is two women, and even if he knew, he was actually helpless, because he knew very well that no matter what the two women were thinking, the outcome of the matter would not change in any way. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Early in the morning of the second day, after Liu Fan asked Dong Xiaowan again, he took Dong Xiaowan, Liu Rushi and others to the small courtyard where the Jiangnan Times was located. The reason why I came to the newspaper office is because Dong Xiaowan's mother is now temporarily living in the backyard of the newspaper office. Liu Fan came to propose marriage this time, so he naturally wanted to come to the door in person.

At the beginning, after Liu Fan sent someone to take Dong Xiaowan's mother from Suzhou to Nanjing, he personally invited several of the most famous doctors in the south of the Yangtze River to her old man's family and a guest imperial doctor of the Xu family through Xu Wenjue. After the joint consultation of several famous doctors, Dong Xiaowan's mother's condition has also improved greatly. But as the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread. Dong Xiaowan's mother has been ill for many years, suffering from tuberculosis, and has been ill for a long time, her body has run out of oil, and it takes a long time to recover a little. In order to take care of his mother nearby, at the request of Dong Xiaowan, Liu Ru arranged for his mother and daughter to live in the backyard of the newspaper. The environment here is quiet, and there is generally no one to disturb it, and there are some sisters who live here who are good friends with Dong Xiaowan, which is also convenient for them to take care of the elderly nearby.

Because of the treatment, Liu Fan once had a few encounters with Dong Xiaowan's mother, and they got along quite well. It's just that what worries Liu Fan is that he came to visit as a guest at the beginning, but this time he came to the door as a son-in-law, can Dong Xiaowan's mother accept the change of identity so quickly?

With apprehension, Liu Fan, Dong Xiaowan, Liu Rushi and others came to the door of the newspaper with a large number of dowries. According to the normal marriage process, the three aunts and six ceremonies are an indispensable. But this time, because Liu Fan's time is relatively tight, and Liu Ru is willing to protect this big media again, some other red tape can be saved.

Because of the lack of etiquette, Liu Fan prepared the dowry very well this time, gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, just the line of carrying the dowry, from the streets of Sanshan Street to the end of the street. Because Dong Mu and the others were not notified in advance, when more than a dozen large boxes filled Dong Mu's small courtyard, everyone in the newspaper office was alarmed.

As the master, Dong's mother came to the courtyard in person with the support of the maid, and when she saw that it was Liu Fan and others, Dong's mother's worried heart was relaxed. For the arrival of Liu Fan and others, Dong's mother was still very happy, and after seeing Liu Fan appear, she stepped forward enthusiastically and said in a slightly reproachful tone, "Jimin, how many times has the old body told you." Come on, what kind of gifts do you bring! You've taken good care of our mother and daughter, always bringing so many things. My aunt doesn't know how to greet you, but the old body can tell you that you should take these things back to the old body, and the old body will not accept them. ”

"Uh" Liu Fan suddenly felt extremely embarrassed when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer Dong's mother's words at this moment. can only keep looking at Liu Ru is "big matchmaker" with his eyes, hoping that she can come forward to help him out of the siege.

Seeing Liu Fan's eyes, Liu Ru glanced at him delicately. Then he quickly stepped forward to support Mother Dong with a swaying graceful figure, and said with a smile, "Aunt Dong, this gift is not for yourself, it is mainly for Xiao Wan." If you don't accept it, I'm afraid Xiao Wan will be sad! ”

"Huh!?" Mother Dong looked at Liu Ruis suspiciously, and said with a mist on her head, "If so, you don't understand what you said." What does this have to do with Xiaowan's girl? ”

Liu Ru pursed her lips and smiled, "Of course it matters, this time Brother Jimin came to propose to you, if you don't accept this dowry, won't Xiaowan's girl be sad!" ”

"Dowry!?" Mother Dong exclaimed, then looked around at the big boxes full of yards, and suddenly understood something in her heart. His face suddenly changed slightly, and he looked at Liu Fan and the others and said in a deep voice, "If so, Xiaowan, Jimin, put things down first!" You three come with me! After that, he shook off Liu Rushi and the little maid who were supporting him, and walked towards the room.

Looking at the back of Dong's mother gradually moving away, the three of them looked at each other helplessly, Liu Fan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Xiaohu, don't worry about things first!" You guys go and stay outside the courtyard, and no one is allowed to come in and disturb you without my orders!" Then he turned to Liu Ru is two and said, "It's a blessing, it's not a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided." Xiao Wan, if so, come with me, and see what my aunt has to say first! ”

Dong Xiaowan's eyes were slightly red, she looked at the room where her mother was with a little worry, held Liu Fan's big hand tightly, and whispered, "Brother Jimin, mother, will he not agree to us being together!" ”

"No, it won't!" Liu Fan shook his head firmly and said, "Aunt is also a reasonable person, I think she also understands the feelings between us." It's okay, everything has me, Xiaowan just waits to hear the good news with peace of mind! ”

Although it was said freely, after actually entering the room, Liu Fan was a little more nervous than Dong Xiaowan and the two girls beside him. Dong's mother is a beautiful lady from a scholarly family, although her family is now in the middle of the road, but neither her knowledge nor her bearing can be compared with ordinary rural wild husbands. Although Liu Fan is a dignified chief military officer, even in front of Chongzhen, he has no stage fright. But now I feel extremely nervous and uneasy because I have committed a "wrong thing".

When the three of them cautiously came to the house, Dong's mother was sitting on a chair in the main hall, looking at them with burning eyes. Before Liu Fan and the others could speak out, Dong's mother took the lead and said, "Jimin, if so, and Xiaowan, let's talk about it, what's going on." Didn't you tell the old man yesterday that you were going to attend the housewarming banquet of the people, why did you suddenly come to the door to propose marriage only a day later? When Dong's mother said this, she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, slammed it on the table with a "bang", and said angrily, "What else is there to hide from me, and it doesn't come from the truth?" ”

The sudden loud noise made Liu Ru is heart tremble, but she was also half an "outsider", and her reaction at the moment was better than that of Liu Fan and the others. Seeing that Dong's mother was angry, she hurriedly stepped forward and explained, "Auntie, don't be impatient, this time Brother Jimin came to propose marriage, also because he and Xiaowan are in love!" The two of them are talented and good-looking, and it is normal for them to have a good impression of each other during this period of time. In this way, this is not necessarily a bad thing! ”
