Chapter 143: The Wedding Date Has Been Set
An endless wind and snow ravaged Xianyang City, and finally put a thick layer of silver on Xianyang for three consecutive days. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Seeing that the heavy snow has no intention of stopping, some people are anxious and some people are happy.
Three days ago, the old housekeeper of the Feng family had already sent a post, and according to the custom of the Qin State, the male master was not allowed to step into the woman's house again. Therefore, the lockdown city, who could not come in person, deliberately asked the steward to drive three carriages, on which there were 300 horses of silk and countless jewels.
Fortunately, there were slaves in the city who were responsible for clearing the snow, but the road was not difficult to walk. Although he was in the wind and snow, the horse was even more afraid of the leather whip in the hands of the man. Every time I was tired and heard the whip of my subordinates and drank it, the horse pulling the cart shook, and the wind under my feet raised my head to face the wind and snow on the pavement.
After half an hour's journey on weekdays, the old butler shook off his soaked coat and shook off the remaining snow and hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door.
According to the agreement, as soon as the wind and snow stopped, the old housekeeper sent the bride price, and seeing that the wedding date was approaching, the Feng family couldn't sit still. In the court, the closure of the city with a head and a face is full of promises. The posts inviting the banquet have been sent one by one, but the old face of the bride who has not received the lockdown of the city can't let go, so he urged the old housekeeper to send it early.
The rapid knocking sound of the door kept sending it out of the door and into the courtyard, but it was swallowed up by the roaring wind and snow before it could be heard far away. The old butler's hands were numb, but the door did not have a trace of opening for a long time.
After handing the reins in his hand to another person, the person stepped forward and said in his throat: "Such a big snow, you must not be able to hear it inside." I'll take my brothers and shout twice! ”
Although this move is unreasonable, it can only be so in a hurry. The old butler nodded. The man nodded, returned to the carriage and shouted at the crowd. Due to the mixed wind and snow, I don't know what this group of people shouted, only to feel a ghost crying wolf.
This really had some effect, and after a while, the door of Liu's Mansion slowly opened a crack. The subordinates of the Liu Mansion were all sent from the Feng Mansion from the Feng Mansion, so the people inside opened a small crack and saw that the person who came was the housekeeper of the Feng Mansion, so they hurriedly opened half of the door suddenly.
"Why are you here with such a heavy snow?"
The old housekeeper finally let out a sigh, and the person who opened the door had been wearing it in the closed mansion for some years. The old housekeeper complained a little: "Isn't this a bride price?" This day is really a good day, I have never seen such a big snow in Xianyang for many years, so it happened to be a big wedding with my son. ”
The subordinates of the Liu Mansion looked down the street, and the good guy had three car dowries. Old Man Feng is considered to have made a bloody investment.
"Come on, come on, don't stand. Come on in. Wait, I'll find a few people. ”
There are three steps in front of the gate of Liu's mansion, and the carriage cannot enter. After Liu Yan bought this courtyard, he deliberately asked Shan Miao to "discuss" with his neighbors, and bought a small courtyard next to the courtyard, demolished the wall, and used it as a garage and stable.
Compared with the distance from the side gate, everyone still chose to move the three carts of gift manpower to the yard. Coincidentally, Shan Miao came out to relieve herself, and without saying a word, one person took four pieces and easily moved them back and forth a few times.
When the old housekeeper took a pack of candy man wrapped in oiled paper from the car and handed it to Shan Miao in a daze, Shan Miao's whole person was not good. It was as if the old butler had a packet of poison in his hand and ran away in a hurry. On the contrary, it is the whole old housekeeper who is inexplicable.
In order to hide his embarrassment, the old housekeeper pulled the subordinates of the Liu Mansion over again and said, "Is Gongzi Liu here?" The adult explained that he had to hand it over to the son in person. ”
The man shook his head and said, "Oh, that's not a coincidence. Childe has been fond of riding and archery recently, and he dragged the fat cavalry general out of the city early this morning. ”
"Do you know what happened to you?"
The head shook even more, and suddenly raised his head and said, "Go and see Miss Liyuan, Miss Liyuan also likes candy people." On weekdays, adults love Miss a lot, and Miss should know. ”
The old butler shook his head, he didn't plan to go. Just wait here. The lockdown is a place of great importance on etiquette, and it is also necessary to set an example and restrain people to do the same. The old housekeeper has been following the lockdown for decades, and the so-called one who is close to ink is black and close to Zhu is red. Although he doesn't know a few big characters, no matter how bad the old housekeeper is, he can be regarded as a gentleman.
That night, Liu Yan hurriedly walked into Liu's mansion with two hares in his waist. Last time, Liyuan said that he was very bored in the house, and Liu Yan learned the skills of roaring and catching rabbits when he went out hunting, and caught two fat and white rabbits alive for Liyuan.
Sure enough, Liyuan, who was bored and eating candy in a daze, turned back angrily when he saw Liu Yan coming in: "My brother doesn't play with me when he comes back, he follows his two uncles all day long in Xianyang City." Today you also ran away. ”
Liu Yan smiled and stepped forward and said, "Okay, I don't have many days left at home." What do you see this is? ”
Li Yuan glared at it, and immediately smiled, and then played happily with the rabbit in both hands. Liu Yan saw that this girl was really moody, smiled and wanted to sit down. Who knew that when I reached out to support the table, I didn't know what was pressed, and there was a crunch sound.
Looking back, a large bag of candy men was placed on the table. Look at the few sticks next to her, the girl has eaten a lot.
"Liyuan, who gave you this candy?"
Li Yuan was in a hurry to play with the two rabbits, and said without looking up: "Aunt Yingyu brought it, saying that Grandpa Feng sent someone to give gifts." ”
Liu Yan patted his head, patronizing and forgetting about it. It was originally scheduled that the snow had stopped, but I didn't expect it to come early. Liu Yan hurriedly went out and didn't know if the old housekeeper was gone?
"Childe stays!"
Liu Yan had just walked out of the courtyard and hurriedly walked a few steps to the front hall when he heard the voice of the old housekeeper behind him. Liu Yan stopped, the old housekeeper rushed up, took a breath and said: "I heard that Gongzi is back, and the old man is abrupt, but the big thing of Feng Gongzi is important, and the old man dare not delay." I hope that the son is not strange. ”
Liu Yan said: "There, there." The weather is so bad, you have waited a long time in the snow to send it, and you are ashamed. Let's go to the antechamber, don't stand, the snow is getting heavier. ”
Saying that, Liu Yan didn't wait for the old housekeeper to speak, wrapped his hands around him and pulled him into the front hall. A few braziers came in, and I was afraid that this old man would be drenched in the snow and suffer from the cold, coupled with the limited medical treatment, and he would die again.
On the contrary, the old butler looked tough, took out a scroll from his chest, took out a scroll from his chest, and began to read aloud: "The bride price prepared by the Fengfu is as follows, please accept it." Three hundred horses of silk, Nanhu ......"
"Okay, okay, don't read it. This is given to Yingyu by my father-in-law, why do you read it to me? The relationship between the Feng family and me is not clear to others, don't you know? It's over, and the people sent all of them to Yingyu to take. ”
The old housekeeper was a little embarrassed, it didn't matter if he saw the person receiving the gift for the first time. Fengjiang doesn't always say that Liu Yan loves money like life, but he is not such a villain today.
"That's the case, since Childe is not happy to talk too much, just shut up. In addition, the master asked me to tell my son that in three days, whether the weather is sunny or snowy, the marriage will go ahead as scheduled. After all, there are not many auspicious days, and the other small ones are more talkative. Adults have already sent posts to many adults.,If there is an accident that day, I'm afraid that the adult will not be able to keep it.。 ”
Liu Yan nodded and said, "Well, this matter is necessary." Please tell your father-in-law about it, and prepare more good wine in three days. My brothers don't like it when they don't have wine. ”
The old butler laughed and said, "At this time, the old man can help the son." ”
Liu Yan said: "Then there will be labor." ”
The old housekeeper bowed to Liu Yan and said, "It's not too early, the old man will leave first." ”
Then he began to read aloud: "The bride price prepared by the Fengfu is as follows, please accept it." Three hundred horses of silk, Nanhu ......"
"Okay, okay, don't read it. This is given to Yingyu by my father-in-law, why do you read it to me? The relationship between the Feng family and me is not clear to others, don't you know? It's over, and the people sent all of them to Yingyu to take. ”
The old housekeeper was a little embarrassed, it didn't matter if he saw the person receiving the gift for the first time. Fengjiang doesn't always say that Liu Yan loves money like life, but he is not such a villain today.
"That's the case, since Childe is not happy to talk too much, just shut up.

Liu Yan nodded and said, "Well, this matter is necessary." Please tell your father-in-law about it, and prepare more good wine in three days. My brothers don't like it when they don't have wine. ”
The old housekeeper laughed and said, "Haha, this matter is not for adults." The old man can pat his chest and help his son. ”
Liu Yan said: "Then there will be labor." ”
The old housekeeper bowed to Liu Yan and said, "It's not early, old and decayed." I went back to my house first, and I guess the adults were also in a hurry for a day. ”
Liu Yan nodded, followed the old housekeeper and walked a few steps, and when he saw the old housekeeper, he turned his head suspiciously and said, "Childe, do you have any other things to arrange?" ”
Liu Yan hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I'll send you!" ”
How could the old housekeeper be treated so politely, the era of pre-Qin was still a remnant of slaves. Although the old housekeeper has been diligent and diligent with the Feng family over the years, he is just a subordinate. Liu Yan's master sent the servant, which obviously did not conform to the etiquette in the old housekeeper's heart.
Hurriedly bowed to Liu Yan and said, "Son, stay behind, don't dare to be old!" ”
Liu Yan said: "A few days ago, Fengjiang chatted about your poor health, but you just recovered but came with a snowstorm. Yan couldn't bear it in his heart. ”
The old housekeeper was so moved in his heart that he thought that this boy was really strange. Although it is only today that it is on the big ship of the Feng family. But the kindness in his bones and the etiquette of receiving people and things have never changed.
"Yo, it's a blessing to be old. It's just some old diseases, which makes the son worry about it. But the son still asks to stay, the old man left the house and rode the carriage to the carriage to not be disturbed by the wind and snow. ”
Liu Yan stopped talking when he saw the old housekeeper talking like this, and he was really afraid that a gust of wind would push him completely.
This person is really lucky, and he is in the Feng family. But how many people are good in this world? Looking at the figure in the wind, Liu Yan remembered Lao Wen again. Startled, he snapped his mouth and hurriedly ran to the backyard. The frightened man who was cleaning up the brazier had a long mouth and was distracted
