Chapter 177: Lord Shangshu Comes to Propose
It was overcast early in the morning, and it was so depressing that it seemed like a heavy rain would fall at any moment.
The people in the Jade Mansion were silent, and only a few servants could be seen carrying things in the carriage outside the door.
Yu Rubi wore plain clothes without powder, said goodbye to the elders in the family, and prepared to go to the family temple Wuqiu Nunnery.
Everyone in the whole house knows that the eldest lady herself is going to the temple to clean up and pray for the elders in the family.
Gardenia's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she stood in front of the car and pleaded: "Miss, I know I'm clumsy, but you can take me with you and have one more person to serve." ”
"It's enough to have a nurse follow me, I'm going to Qing Xiu, naturally everything is simple. Stay and serve the lord and the lady. Yu Rubi smiled slightly and touched the gardenia's head and said.
Gardenia cried even harder, unable to utter a word.
How could she not understand the painstaking efforts of the young lady? Leave yourself in the mansion, and you will be able to get married in a year or two, but if you follow her to the temple, you can't.
When the young lady will plan well for others, how many grievances and troubles are swallowed by herself.
Yu Rubi got into the car, and the coachman raised his horsewhip. The horse's hooves clattered, the car clattered, and Gardenia chased after the old man for a long way, until the carriage was far away, and then cried back.
Yubai sat in front of the window, looking depressed, looking at the plane tree outside the window with lost eyes. It was planted by him and his wife when he was newly married, and the first time Yu Rubi would call his father was also under that tree.
As a father, he wants his daughter to be as clean and warm as Baibi.
Yu Rubi has indeed grown into what he expected, talented and good-looking, gentle and polite.
But the good things in the world are not always there, and a flying disaster made the flawless jade fall into the quagmire, and outsiders still regretted it, not to mention being a biological father.
As soon as he thought of his young daughter entering the empty gate to lead the practice, Yubai's heart fell into the bottomless abyss.
Yan knew that the old man was in a lonely mood at this time, and sighed and persuaded on the side: "Master, relax your heart, Rubi is a child with a heart, and he goes to the family temple to cultivate for the sake of the reputation of the whole family." We should also be considerate of her, you take care of yourself, so as not to worry her. ”
Yubai sighed heavily, and the depression in his heart couldn't be dissipated no matter what.
At this moment, a string of thunder rolled in the sky, and it was about to rain.
The butler came in from outside, and his hat was crooked.
As soon as he entered the door, he said, "Master, Madam, Lord Yi is here!" ”
"Which one-sama?" Yan didn't save it for a while.
"It's Lord Yi Shang Shuyi, he came in person." The housekeeper said.
"What are you doing?" Yubai was also surprised, he had never had a personal relationship with Yi Chongbai.
"I came to the door to propose," the housekeeper wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve and said, "Master Yi said that he personally came to the door to propose, and asked the lord and the lady to see him." ”
"This ...... What do you mention? To whom to propose? Yubai and Yan asked as they got up.
"The villain didn't dare to ask." The housekeeper said truthfully: "It's just that for the time being, I will invite Master Yi to the front hall for tea." ”
Yubai was suspicious in his heart, Yi Chongbai was known as the "ghost head" in the officialdom of Great Xia, and his scheming was not ordinary.
What is the reason why he personally came to the door to propose?
But since the people came, Yubai naturally had to meet to entertain them. Reluctantly cheered up, and went to the front yard with Yan.
"I don't know if Lord Shangshu has arrived, and I have failed to welcome you, so please forgive me." Yubai will give a salute when he enters the door.
"What did Lord Jade say? It was uninvited, and please forgive me for the crime of being abrupt. Yi Chongbai is very shrewd, especially those eyes, which seem to be able to penetrate the bones at a glance when looking at people.
On the side, Yan ordered someone to serve tea and snacks, and when he saw Yi Xu standing next to him, he said, "Yi Gongzi, please sit down, I don't know what kind of dim sum you like to eat?" ”
"Madame doesn't need to be Zhang Luo, I brought the dog here today to propose to your mansion." Yi Chongbai was straightforward: "Because it is really a bit hasty, it is inevitable that there will be some deficiencies in the number of etiquette, please forgive me." ”
"The adults came to the door in person, I don't know ...... For whom? Yubai asked with a smile.
"Miss Ling Ai Rubi is at the right age, and the dog Yixu is twenty-one this year, and she has not yet been married. Yi came today to propose to Miss Rubi for the dog. Yi Chongbai smiled: "I don't know what the two of you think?" ”
Yubai and Yan were stunned on the spot, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
Of course, the Yi family's family is much higher than the Yu family, but Yi Xu is a fool, and no one who has a daughter wants to marry a fool as his wife.
But at this time and at that time, Yu Rubi now has a bad reputation, and some people are reluctant to marry her as a wife.
Yan's mind became more active, and he quickly sorted out the stakes. It's probably because of the bystander.
Instead of letting Yu Rubi cultivate in the family temple and the green lantern scroll for this life, it is better to marry her to Shangshu Mansion.
This can naturally help the mother's family a lot, even if someone wants to make irresponsible remarks, they have to weigh it.
Yubai still hesitated: "Do you want to hire my daughter as the main room?" ”
"Of course, I'm here in person, of course it's Ming Media who is marrying." Yi Chongbai smiled and pointed to the two official media standing next to him and said, "If you don't believe it, you can ask the two of them." ”
Yan was anxious on the side, and whispered to Yubai: "Master, Rubi hasn't gone far yet. ”
A sentence reminded Yubai, and hurriedly called: "Go and chase the eldest lady back!" ”
Before the words fell, Yi Xu rushed out.
At this time, it had begun to rain outside, and the raindrops the size of beans fell and hit people with pain.
"Hurry up, don't let the young lady get rained." The nurse said to the driver in the car.
Now the young lady is weak, and it is not a joke to be drenched in the rain.
The coachman whipped twice, and the horse ran with all his might.
When I came to the gate of Wuqiuan, it was already raining, but fortunately it was not too heavy.
The coachman waited under the car with an umbrella, and the nurse got off the car first, and turned back to help the jade.
A horse rushed from behind, drenched and obviously raining all the way.
The horse stopped when it came to it, and the rider rolled down from it, stood in front of the gate of Wuqiu'an, and stretched out his hand to stop Yu Rubi.
Yu Rubi looked up and saw that Yi Xu was blocking in front of him like a chicken in soup, and asked him with a light smile: "Why are you here?" It's raining heavily, so take shelter inside! ”
"If I don't go in, you don't go in." Yi Xu wiped the rain from his face and said, "Come back with me." ”
By this time, the rain was already getting heavier and heavier, like a pour.
Yu Rubi only thought he was joking, and he didn't get angry, and coaxed him patiently: "This is my family's temple, don't stop me, go to the gatehouse to avoid the rain first, and I'll ask someone to bring you fruit to eat when I turn around." ”
"My father has already come to the door to propose," Yi Xu tried to open his eyes in the rain, because he wanted to see Yu Rubi's appearance: "I want to marry you, grow old together, and never give up!" ”
Yi Xu's small eyes flashed with determination, and for a moment, it made people feel that he was not a fool.
