Chapter 10: Marriage (2)

"Then son, how are you going to come to my house to propose?" Lou Zhaojun asked Gao Huan.

In ancient times, it was necessary to prepare: a matchmaker, a bride price, and a letter of worship (just explain your origin, whose surname you live in, and your simple personal information) happened suddenly, and Gao Huan really didn't think about this issue carefully.

The Gao family was originally a down-and-out clan, a poor family who wanted money and no money, and at most took the deeds of the ancestors to pretend to be a faΓ§ade, and they had just mixed into the position of a small partial general (the official rank of the Northern Wei Dynasty belonged to the eighth grade) matchmaker also had to be found.

Gao Huan sat down a little depressed, thinking about how to make money to make a bride price, and wanted to marry a monk, but he really couldn't get it if the bride price was less. But the situation in his own family is also very clear to the officials, not to mention the four walls of the family, his father Gao Shu owes a lot of foreign debts. Gao Huan has just crossed over, the usual meager military salary is not enough for his own use, and now he urgently needs money, Gao Huan doesn't know where to get so much money, alas, **Si's life is so realistic, and every minute and second is inseparable from money.

Looking at Gao Huan, who was unsoothed, Lou Mingchun was also very anxious. To say that Lou Mingchun also has no shortage of suitors, many high-ranking officials' children have come to the door to propose marriage, but she is not allowed, saying that she has to find a wishful husband by herself. Now that he met Gao Huan by mistake, this Lou Mingchun also looks at him as a talent and brave and strategic, although he is now just a small partial general under the town general Yang Jun, but if he is really married, there is Lou's family to give him a little bit, and it is not difficult to casually go out to mix with the history of assassination and Taishou.

Thinking of this, Lou Mingchun had an idea, and gently comforted: "Son, don't worry, I also know your situation." Since you and I truly love each other, I don't care about worldly things. Well, I'll ask Ruby to come here tonight to bring you something, and tomorrow you take it to my father to propose marriage, and I'm sure his old man won't embarrass you." ”

Ignoring Gao Huan's blank look, he got up and said, "It's not too early, I'll be out for a while, and I'll be afraid that my father will scold me when I go back late, so the slave family will leave." ”

"Zhaojun, you ...... I ......" Gao Huan wanted to speak and stopped, as if he was reluctant to catch Lou Mingchun who was about to leave.

Lou Mingchun sighed: "Childe, since you and I have decided that we will be together sooner or later, why should we care about parting for a while?" Don't forget to come here tonight. With that, the little hand gently stroked Gao Huan's face, and then turned around and left.

Hongyu, the dead girl, didn't forget to turn around and say, "Count your kid's life, don't forget to wait here on time tonight, otherwise be careful of your skin!" After speaking, he pretended to give Gao Huan a vicious look.

That night, Gao Huan got a thousand taels of silver sent by Lou Mingchun in the teahouse, and a few antiques from the jasper.

Looking at these things, Gao Huan has mixed feelings, happy that there is someone who truly loves himself, and does not pay attention to his background and the level of the portal. I am worried that my identity is humble and my family is surrounded by four walls, and I am afraid that I will not be able to afford this beautiful blessing.

Seeing this, Hongyu said to Gao Huan in a serious tone: "Childe, the slave maid said something that shouldn't be said, my young lady is sincere to you, even if you despise her, she doesn't care." ”

Gao Huan looked embarrassed, nervously looking at Hongyu speechless. How could Lou Mingchun tell this kiss to Hongyu, this girl.

Hongyu was unmoved, and continued: "You must know that my young lady is a famous daughter and is also favored by thousands of people. ”

"That's natural, I said that I Gao Huan is not Chen Shimei, in this life, in addition to my parents, Zhaojun is my dearest and beloved person, even if I really jump on the branch and become a phoenix in the future, it is also a pair with Zhaojun, if I really do something sorry for Zhaojun in the future, Huang Tian can learn from the earth, and my Gao Huan will not die well!" Gao Huan looked at Hongyu Dao with an awe-inspiring face.

"That's it, I don't listen to your swearing, you just really want to be good to my young lady." Hongyu repeatedly advised: "Since you are sincere to my young lady, don't forget to come to the door tomorrow to propose marriage." After saying that, Hongyu hurriedly said goodbye and left.

This night, Gao Huan tossed and turned and did not feel sleepy, and there were thousands of thoughts in his heart, and there were many rituals for the ancients to propose marriage. Although it is a bit abrupt to go to the door to propose marriage suddenly, this kind of matter should not be delayed, and it is not good to have many dreams at night.

The genius was bright, Gao Huan got up to wash and change clothes and get ready, and several officers of the same level in the camp asked jokingly when they saw this: "Yo, General Gao, where are you going to go in this new outfit?" Could it be that something good can't be done? Another person on the side answered: "Brothers, I've heard of it, this Gao Bi General met the daughter of Lou Shangshu's family twice in a row yesterday during the day and night, it seems that there is really something good." ”

Gao Huan frowned when he heard this, turned around and asked, "How do you know?" ”

"Hahaha, it seems that I was said, you kid, why are you really valued by Shangshu's daughter, and you want to be someone's fast son-in-law?!" The man said with a look of disdain.

"This is my personal matter, what does it have to do with you?" Gao Huan said unhappily: "Besides, brother, you are also from a poor background, so why should you ridicule me, a person who has sympathy for the same disease." If He Liuhun really became the son-in-law of the Shangshu family, wouldn't it be a blessing for my generation? Why do you need to be cynical?! ”

"You...... I ......" The man was speechless and unable to argue with Gao Huan.

"Okay, okay, everyone is a brother who stirs horses and spoons in the pot, so why bother to be unhappy because of a little quarrel." Seeing this, Sima Sun Teng came out to be a peacemaker.

Gao Huan walked out of the barracks with a depressed face and was about to go home and ask his mother to invite a matchmaker, when he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting to him: "Brother Gao Xian, where are you going?" ”

Looking back, Gao Huan smiled: "It turned out to be Brother Duan." ”

"Brother Xian went out so early, dare to ask where are you going?" Duan Chang asked very smugly, brushing his beard.

Gao Huan told Duan Chang about the matter between himself and Lou Mingchun, because Gao Huan felt that this Duan Chang was the only person who was willing to make friends with him and trustworthy after he crossed over, so some knots and troubles were also willing to chat with this big brother who was about the same age as his father.

Duan Chang listened to Gao Huan's narration with a smile and said nothing, and finally said with a smile: "Brother Xian is now also a dragon and phoenix among people, and the daughter of the scholar is also a talented woman, and she is quite popular, you don't have to care about idlers, my brother is very optimistic about your family business." ”

"Oh? That's really the old brother's good words. After saying that, Gao Huan felt depressed in his heart, and said with a smile.

"But the elder brother has a reluctant request, as the saying goes, this family affair pays attention to the life of the parents, but the virtuous brother still has a guarantor." Duan Chang looked at Gao Huan very meaningfully.

"Yes, when I think about it, the marriage between officials is not like ordinary people, and I have to find a guarantor with a comparable status, but now I ......" Gao Huan was depressed again, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Duan Chang looking at himself and smiling, and blurted out: "Brother, it's you!" ”

"Hahaha, Brother Xian, I'm waiting for you to say this, my brother is happy to be your marriage guarantor."

Lou Mansion does not lose the high door, the court is a heavy minister, this house is built with a majestic momentum, even the stone lion at the door is arrogant and does not take the right eyes to look at people.

Although Gao Huan had also lived in Lou Mansion before, it was a different taste to revisit the old place today.

Menzi saw that it was Xiao Bai's face who came to the door to ask to see the master, although he knew that he was the life-saving benefactor of the young lady of the family, but he also looked down on Gao Huan and Duan Chang very much. Think about coming to the house every day to ask to see the master, and there are more people to go to the place where you want to go through the back door, which one will not give them some benefits of guarding the door before allowing and informing. This Gao Huan is good, licking his face with his empty hands and trying to break in.

The disciples didn't dare to stop them, so they saw the steward and said, "Son, my lord went to the government office early in the morning, and the son can go there to wait if he has something." ”

How can this kind of thing be discussed in the government office, Gao Huan turned around and looked at Duan Chang with a tangled face, and Duan Chang looked free and easy when he arrived: "Then let's go to the concierge and wait, anyway, you and I have nothing else to do today." Gao Huan nodded in agreement.

Who knew that when it was almost dark, Gao Huan couldn't help but want to get up and leave, (the porter no longer refilled the tea for the two of them, and Lou Mingchun in the inner house knew that Gao Huan couldn't come out to see each other in the gatehouse, which was so disciplined in ancient times) But Duan Chang sat on the chair very leisurely and admired the pavilions in the courtyard.

"Master back home!" With the shouting of Menzi, Gao Huan was shocked, the time to come is finally here, the ugly daughter-in-law will finally see her in-laws, whether it is a mule or a horse, and she will eventually pull it out and slip away.

Our Lou Shangshu and Gao Huan's old father-in-law were helped into the inner hall by the servants with a drunken face.

…… Half an hour later.

"I've seen Lord Shangshu." Gao Huan and Duan Chang bowed very respectfully to Lou Neigan, who was sitting on the main seat.

"Oh, it turned out to be you, why are you looking for the old man?" Although Lou Neigan is nearly fifty years old, he is well maintained, his figure is slightly fat, his beard is flowing, his face is ruddy, and his forehead is slightly wrinkled, but he looks very rich. Standing on the side, the maid fanned him with a fan in her hand, and a male maid was still waiting on the side. is also a father, Gao Huan secretly thought about his father's embarrassment, alas, the current and the opposition really can't be compared.

"Lord Shangshu should know that the villain and Miss Lou met and met, the villain has not yet married this year, since he met with Miss, he fell in love, and learned that Miss was also unmarried, and the villain dared to tie the knot with Miss and fly with wings." After that, Gao Huan got up and presented the bride price and the name post, and said: "This is a little bride price, please take a look." The villain knows that he is soft-spoken, so he asked his colleague General Duan to be the matchmaker......"

The old man squinted at the bride price, and snorted coldly: "He Liuhun, you are deceiving me too much!" "This old man is still very self-contained, and he didn't get angry enough to let the family beat the two of them out of a mess, but just closed his eyes and recuperated.

"Why did Lord Shangshu say this? The villain didn't dare to deceive the adults, what he said was true, Mingyue can see my sincerity to Miss. Gao Huan looked surprised and aggrieved.

"Shaft, do you really want the old man to expose your shortcomings??" The old man's eyes widened and he couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded loudly, which seemed to be about to be angry.

"Huh? The villain really doesn't know what's right or wrong, and I hope that the adults will forgive the villain for being stupid. Gao Huan was also sincerely frightened at this time, but he also secretly complained in his heart: "Damn, he won't see it." "But he is also stubborn and refuses to admit defeat. The descendants of our new era seem to have this common problem, and Gao Huan (Cheng Lu) is not immune.

"Humph! I won't say what your intentions are for my son Mingchun, just say that your dowry, although I don't know where you came from, but this pair of jasper was given by me to Mingchun, and there are a few other objects! If you bring these things to my house today to beg for a kiss and fool the old man, what should you be guilty of? The old man's face was angry, and his muscles were about to rise.

Gao Huan was really afraid that this old man would have high blood pressure and heart disease, but he was embarrassed to be exposed in front of him, and he was speechless. When he was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard a familiar voice from the inner hall behind: "Father!!" ”

At the tense moment when the two sides were "tense and on the verge of breaking out", Lou Mingchun hurriedly came out of the back hall with Hongyu, it turned out that she had been listening to it for a long time in the back.

"Father, listen to me, I asked Gao Gongzi to do this. I also gave these things to Mr. Gao. Lou Mingchun stepped forward and stood between the two, and said: "Father, you know Gao Gongzi's family background, how he has the money to come to the door as a gift, and now his daughter and he really love each other, and I hope that my father will be fulfilled." After that, he pulled Gao Huan and knelt down together.

looked at Gao Huan kneeling on the ground with a serious face, and kept saying: "I hope that the adult will be perfect, and the adult will be perfect." Looking at Duan Chang standing behind with a righteous face, he held back a smile on his face.

"You...... You uncompetitive scumbag, I ......" The old man trembled angrily, got up to slap Lou Mingchun, but halfway up his hand he put it down angrily and said: "I knew that you would stay and stay and stay for sorrow." You said you, so many sons and grandsons came to ask for kisses, you don't look down on you, but you are confused about this down-and-out erection, you ...... You're so mad at me. ”

At first, Gao Huan was taken aback when he saw that the old man was going to stretch out his hand to beat someone, and he was about to get up to stop him, but he was pulled by Lou Mingchun, his father himself knew best, he was reluctant to start.

"Father, the child is unfilial, which makes the father angry, but the child really likes Gao Gongzi, and Gao Gongzi also swears to the child, for the sake of the deceased mother, the child implores his father to agree to this matter." Lou Mingchun is also not allowed to dare to act boldly.

Gao Huan was distressed and helpless on the sidelines, and more embarrassed, distressed because his sweetheart did not hesitate to turn his face with his father for his own sake, but helplessly because he couldn't afford the love of this beautiful girl, and the shameful thing was that now he was a light person and had to rely on his daughter-in-law to fight for it.

"I agree with an X." The old man, who usually pretended to be elegant and gentle, also burst into foul language, only to see him say angrily: "I just don't want you to suffer so that I can't agree to this marriage, you have to think about it for you in the future, what is the origin of their family, and what is the status of our family." Isn't marriage all about being a family, right? Besides, he is so poor, he can support himself enough, how can he have the ability to support your eldest lady, ah? "The old man is also bitter.
