Bao'er's father and eldest brother carried gifts from the back car, the same and the same, and loaded a carriage full of them. At this time, several nearby families also found out that the daughter of the Lu family who had eloped was back, and they all looked at Lu Xueqi with curious eyes, and at the same time looked at the carriage she was riding back in, as well as the gifts that were being moved.

Lu Xueqi's heart was pounding, and she felt very nervous.

She stood in front of the gate and took a few deep breaths, then walked up the steps.

The door opened, Lu Xueqi's mother walked out with a few rings, Lu Xueqi looked at her mother, and suddenly felt that her heart was so sour, "Mother! She couldn't help but shout, and trotted all the way into her mother's arms.

"My son." Lu's mother opened her arms and hugged her daughter tightly into her arms, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, let's go, go home." ”

In the living room, Father Lu had already walked out of the study and was sitting in the hall. With a serious expression, Lu Xueqi stepped forward, "Dad." ”

Lu Weizhang slapped the table, "Do you remember that there is a father like me, didn't you run away with that kid surnamed Liu, why did you come back and do something?" At first, his tone was stern, but when he said it later, he couldn't go on, and he couldn't help but shed tears. is such a baby daughter, raised for 18 years, but now that she has grown up, she has run away with other men all of a sudden, and she feels very uncomfortable as a father.

"Don't talk about that." Lu's mother interrupted her husband, in her opinion, in fact, her daughter is not bad with the Liu family. Originally, the two children walked together, but later because of the trouble caused by the Zhou family's gift, the two little guys actually wanted to elope. In the end, although the daughter did not leave, the son of the Liu family ran away from his hometown, and the daughter was also divorced by the Zhou family, and the daughter never went down the attic for two years.

This time, the boy of the Liu family came to rob his relatives again, and his daughter really eloped with him, and Lu's mother was actually happy. After all, with such a daughter, she also wants to see her daughter happy. It's a good thing that her daughter is with the person she likes, it's better than being with that cripple of the Zhou family.

However, her daughter was away from home for nearly two months, and suddenly came back alone, which made her a little worried.

"Kiki, why did you come back alone, what about him? Tell my mother, did you suffer any grievances outside? Tell your mother, your mother is your master. ”

"Mother, we're fine. Yesterday he came back, and now he has been promoted to an official and has done the inspection of Hutou Pass, from the nine-rank martial arts. Lu Xueqi hurriedly defended her lover, and couldn't wait to tell her parents the good news that the man was an official.

Lu's mother didn't care much about whether Liu Jun was an official, she only cared about whether he was good to her daughter.

Lu Weizhang was a little surprised, and couldn't help asking, "Didn't Liu Jiye go to the township group of the prince of Chunjiang, why did he become a Hutou Pass inspection again?" ”

"He was originally with the prince of Chunjiang to make a township regiment, some time ago, they took their subordinates to participate in the suppression of bandits twice, and the credit was appreciated by Zhao Bingxian and Mei Gong of the military preparation road, so he was promoted to the inspection department of Hutou Pass, the original township regiment, the prince of Chunjiang is going to take the imperial examination next, and he has no time to participate for the time being, so now the township regiment has been transferred to the family of Jiye, and they have all been transferred to Hutou Pass."

Lu Weizhang sighed and didn't judge, but he also praised this future son-in-law in his heart, and Liu Jiye still has some ability.

Lu Mu asked anxiously at this time, "Why didn't he come, and what's the matter with you living in the county now, it's not clear, when does he plan to officially come to the door to propose?" ”

Lu Xueqi didn't expect that she hadn't spoken yet, but her mother was already anxious to ask about it, and listening to this tone, she obviously didn't object to their marriage. She couldn't help but be happy in her heart, in fact, she didn't think about it from the perspective of her parents, although her elopement did make her parents unhappy, but now, the Lu family has no choice but to agree to their marriage, and let Liu Jun come to propose marriage publicly as soon as possible, and marry their daughter.

The longer this kind of thing drags on, the worse it will be for the reputation of the Lu family and Xueqi.

In fact, Lu's father and Lu's mother had already agreed to a unanimous opinion, as long as Liu Jun could give his daughter a decent wedding, they would never object again.

Lu Xueqi was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Jiye is still at home now, and he asked me to come back first." He invited the son of Chunjiang to come to the door to talk to the matchmaker for a while, Daddy, and please ask the two of you to complete this matter. The daughter will not marry if she has no job in this life! ”

"Agreed, agreed, we all agreed." Lu Mu said busily.

Things went much smoother than expected, and within a little more than an hour after Lu Xueqi returned home, Li Chunjiang came to the door with Liu Jun's good brothers with gifts.

Li Chunjiang is the Duke of Xie Yuan, with a person's identity, and he is also the leader of the younger generation of the Li family among the four wealthy families in Macheng, especially Liu Jun's friend, so it is naturally no problem for him to propose marriage.

The Lu family served good tea and brought good snacks.

"To repay these fruits, they are all the best products in our Lujianan store." Lu Weizhang was very polite when facing Li Chunjiang.

After some cold time, entering the main topic, Li Chunjiang officially proposed to the Lu family on behalf of Liu Jun, and Lu's father did not have any more branches, and nodded and agreed. The next thing is to report the birthdays of both men and women, and go to the temple to ask if they are compatible and whether they are against each other. In fact, there is basically no unworthy thing for this kind of thing, Li Chunjiang handed over five taels of silver, and immediately said that the sky was falling, and these two people were simply a pair made in heaven, a perfect match.

After going through this procedure, the marriage has been decided.

The next most important link is the next ceremony. Just wait for the man to give a ceremony, even if it is officially engaged, and then he will write a marriage letter. If you have a marriage, you will be recognized and protected by law. Lu Weizhang took Li Chunjiang and a group of people to have a hearty lunch in Lufu.

Li Chunjiang's red face was let go, and a group of people rode to Xiwan.

"Brother Jiye, brother, I am fortunate not to be dishonored, the matter has been done!" As soon as he entered Liu's house, Li Chunjiang shouted loudly, and the entire Liu family heard this voice.

Father Liu asked Liu Jun, "What do you entrust Gongzi Li to do?" ”

Liu Jun hadn't talked about it to his family before, so he had to say, "I asked Gongji to go to Lu's house today to propose marriage on my behalf." ”

Father Liu's face sank suddenly, and he always disapproved of this marriage. For that girl from the Lu family, he always felt that he was not doing his duty, and his reputation was not very good now, he was against it, but now that his son has become an official again, he is even more opposed. With his son's current identity, he has to find a girl with better conditions. You don't need to be pretty, you can be virtuous.

Liu Jun looked at his father's gloomy appearance, and estimated that he was going to object, so he hurriedly spoke first, "Dad, the son's marriage is in charge, don't you interfere?" ”

Daddy was angry when he heard it, what kind of words did this look like. But looking at Liu Jun's resolute appearance, he knew that he would not listen to him even if he opposed it, just like he had opposed it before, but his son still took the Lu girl directly to the county seat, and the two lived like this.

"Son, don't you think about it anymore?"

"There's nothing more to think about this, and I hope you can bless us."

Liu Xiu nodded with difficulty, and his eyes were a little gloomy.

Liu's mother was not very happy about this marriage, but she only nagged a few words in front of Liu Jun and didn't say more. It's the sister-in-law, but she supports them very much, "Second uncle, although marriage is a big deal, it is also your own business, and if you want to live with you for a lifetime in the future, most people have no choice, only the order of your parents and the words of the matchmaker." You and Miss Lu also fell in love at first sight, and there were many setbacks in the middle, but now that they are finally together, the more you must cherish them. Don't care what other people think, choose according to your own feelings, and your sister-in-law supports you. ”

The sister-in-law said these words to surprise Liu Jun, but she also heard that the sister-in-law seemed to be a little dissatisfied with her marriage, but she didn't have a choice at the beginning, and now she has no choice, but she hopes that Liu Jun and Miss Lu, the lovers who love each other, can have lovers and eventually become married.

After initially obtaining the consent of his family, Liu Jun acted resolutely.

On the same day, with a group of brothers, he began to make a big purchase and prepare for the ceremony. Early the next morning, Liu Jun took a group of people on the road, this time not only Li Chunjiang and a group of brothers went together, but even Liu Xiu and his eldest brother Liu Zhao also went together.

The gift prepared by Liu Jun is also quite rich, 99 taels of gold, 999 taels of silver, and 1,314 gold and copper coins, which is specially requested by Liu Jun, meaning that the two will love each other for the rest of their lives.

In addition to the money worth about 3,000 taels of silver, there were also many silk silk and gold and silver jewelry, etc., and a total of 88 picks were prepared.

Fortunately, Liu Jun also made a lot of money during this time, and he accumulated a lot of money in his hands, plus Li Chunjiang sponsored him a lot quite boldly, and the brothers also gave a lot of gifts, and Liu Jun also had a luxurious show.

He himself didn't care much about these pomp and circumstance, but after all, he took Xueqi away like that before, and Yu Xueqi and the Lu family had a bad reputation. This time, such a grand pomp was also done to earn face for the Lu family and Xueqi. With the wealth of the Lu family in business, they don't actually care about these courtesies, to put it bluntly, they are all for others to see.

The hired porters all wore red vests, and the lacquer boxes were all tied with red silk flowers, and there was a long queue, which was very festive. attracted countless onlookers on both sides of the street, "Who is this, such a big show?" ”

"Yes, it's been a long time since I've seen such a big show, eighty-eight picks."

"What is the eighty-eight pick, I heard that there are ninety-nine taels of gold, nine hundred and ninety-nine taels of silver, and more than a thousand copper coins. These gold, silver, and bronze are all drawn in a carriage behind them, and they are not counted in the eighty-eight picks. A well-informed man smacked.

"More than a thousand copper coins, you have to be thousands of catties, of course you can't use to pick, otherwise, you will have to pick dozens of people to pick this copper coin."

"Who made this decision?"

"Xiwan Liu family, Liu Xiucai's second Liu Er is stunned."

"Don't scream, people are now newly promoted from the inspection of the ninth grade, and they are the official masters."

"Which one are you marrying?"

"Needless to say, of course it's Miss Lu."

Hearing this, many people felt a little surprised, the matter between the second stunned Liu family and Miss Lu was not much news in Xiwan, and not long ago Liu Jun came to the door to rob his relatives, Miss Lu family ran over the wall and left home to elope with Liu Jun also caused a sensation for a while, and later I heard that Liu Jun bought a house in the county town and lived with Miss Lu before marriage.

Now that everyone heard that Liu Jun had become an official master, they thought that he was going to make a decision to which lady he was going to make such a big move this time, but unexpectedly, it was still Miss Lu, everyone was really surprised, but many daughters-in-law secretly praised Miss Lu in their hearts for being blessed and finding the right person, and also praised Liu Erzi for being very loyal and loyal, and did not abandon the old man as soon as he became rich.

When Liu Jun arrived in front of the Lu Mansion, the Lu family had already set off a cannon battle and was jubilant. The Lu family has already put up lights, and there is a celebration everywhere.

"Good uncle, good aunt."

Liu Jun dismounted, entered the house, and after entering the hall, he respectfully saluted Lu Weizhang and his wife who were standing there to greet him. Li Chunjiang asked people to bring in eight pairs of wild ducks, and then handed over the gift list.

Father Liu stood there with a forced smile on his face, "Brother Lu is fine, and Mrs. Sister-in-law is fine." ”

Lu's father and mother were all smiling, greeting everyone one by one, taking the list and sweeping it, slightly surprised. He knows the family background of the Liu family, but it is just an ordinary gentry family, and the family is only a hundred acres of land. Today, Xia Wan actually took out so many things, and at first glance, it was at least a few thousand taels of gifts.

The Liu family gave the Lu family a lot of face, very face-giving, the smile on Lu Weizhang's face was even brighter, and he was really happy this time.
