Chapter 203: Asking for Marriage
Zhou Sheng was puzzled and asked: "Doing this will ruin Qingxue's innocence and reputation!" ”
"Who told you to use that kind of propaganda, this prince refers to the door-to-door proposal, understand? After all, you have to think about it, if someone comes to the door to propose, then Mrs. Wei can still force Qingxue to marry someone else? Let's go and get ready for the dowry. Huo Lingxiao said lightly.
Zhou Shengmao suddenly opened his mouth and called Huo Lingxiao's method good, "Okay!" Then I'll go and prepare the dowry right away! ”
Zhou Sheng pulled the Lu family and immediately went to prepare for the dowry, of course, the sooner the better.
Zhou Sheng and his parents came to the door in person, and came to the Wei Mansion with great fanfare all the way, beaming with joy.
The horse stopped at the gate of the General's Mansion, Zhou Sheng turned over and dismounted handsomely, and the doorman stepped forward and asked, "I don't know who the son is looking for?" ”
"My son is here to propose marriage, so don't report to the head of your family quickly!" Zhou Sheng said.
The doorman looked stunned, plucked out his ears again, and thought he had misheard.
"Why don't you go soon?" Zhou Sheng's face was stained with a thin layer of anger, and he glared at the doorman.
The doorman stumbled towards the general's mansion, he did not go to report to the Liu family, but went to Jingsiyuan first.
Another doorman who was guarding the door brought Zhou Sheng and the others over.
The spectators outside the General's Mansion shouted that something good was coming to the General's Mansion.
"This boy is not an ordinary person at first glance! I don't know which lady I proposed to. ”
"In my opinion, eighty percent is the first beauty in the capital, Wei Feiyue! The girl looks like a thief and is handsome, which makes people like it tight, gentle and gentle. ”
"Why do I think Miss Wei is more beautiful? Also the first beauty in the capital? ”
The two aunts on the street suddenly quarreled, shouting who was better looking and who was the first beauty in the capital.
Mrs. Wei was furious when she learned about it, and she saw that the family affair was about to be completed, and she actually killed Zhou Sheng halfway.
The news quickly spread to the Book Pavilion and Luohuayuan, Wei Qingxue was overjoyed, and now Zhou Sheng was in the hall where the guests were entertained.
"Dad, Sheng Sheng is here to propose!" Wei Qingxue was very excited, her eyes lit up, her nerves were refreshed, and she washed away the previous unpleasantness at once.
"You are not allowed to go! Stay in Falling Flower Garden! Liu Ming, you are here with Qingxue, watch her closely. Wei Xiaohe said.
Wei Qingxue didn't understand, and looked at him aggrievedly, her eyes red.
Jiang said: "Qingxue is good, this is to avoid suspicion, lest the old lady talk about things, Xiyue is present, he will not suffer." ”
Wei Qingxue nodded, and reluctantly looked at the backs of Jiang and Wei Xiaohe leaving, a cool breeze blowing, a little bleak.
"Qingxue, all this was arranged by the big sister, you can rest assured." Wei Liuming put her arm around Wei Qingxue's shoulders and said.
The people in the second room were confused, isn't this going to marry Wei Qingxue to the perverted Master Wu, how could Zhou Sheng suddenly come out to propose marriage, and he still looked like he was making a big fuss.
"Mother, let's go quickly, grandma will talk about us in a while."
Wei Feiyue opened the bead curtain, Yingying walked out, just changed into a white dress, a pink gemstone pendant around her waist, a little pink face, and her eyebrows were dyed with a smile.
The hall was filled with red silk dowry, Zhou Yuan and Lu were also full of spring breeze and radiant, and Zhou Sheng was even more nervous and couldn't sit down.
Sanfang, Wei Xiyue, Liu and the others arrived one step ahead of Old Madam Wei, and after taking a seat.
Zhou Sheng found that Wei Xiaohe's reaction was too flat, and the sense of crisis in his heart suddenly increased.
With the support of Concubine Wei, Mrs. Wei slowly walked in and sat on the high seat.
Zhou Yuan greeted Mrs. Wei according to the number of courtesies, "Is the old lady okay lately?" ”
But she didn't want to, she made a snub, Mrs. Wei lowered her eyes and carefully played with the agate chain in her hand.
Lu hurriedly came out to make a round, and said with a smile: "Today is a big day, you see that the old lady is in good spirits and in good health." ”
"Uncle Wei is good, Aunt Wei is good." Zhou Sheng directly bypassed Mrs. Wei, bowed slightly to Wei Xiaohe and Jiang, and said hello.
Jiang smiled cutely, combed his hair and pulled an atmospheric hairstyle today, looking dignified and elegant, and deliberately brought a red beaded flower.
Wei Xiaohe's face was flat, constantly observing Mrs. Wei's face, although he wanted to marry Wei Qingxue to Zhou Sheng in his heart, but at the level of filial piety, he also had to make a face and go through the motions.
Mrs. Wei dug her heart and lungs, and Xiao You persuaded her: "Zhou Gongzi suddenly came to the mansion to propose marriage, is it abrupt, Qingxue's marriage still needs to be discussed with her father." ”
"What is this old lady? Zhou Sheng and Qingxue are classmates in the academy, and the two are in love, isn't this just how happy they can be? Jiang's face was ugly, and he said unhappily.
"My son didn't even speak, so where is your turn? Hyoha? Old Madam Wei looked at Wei Xiaohe.
Jiang Shi pinched Wei Xiaohe's thigh fiercely through his robe, and said in a sweet voice: "Master, this is the best of both worlds, it can not only meet the needs of the old lady, but also find a good family for Qingxue." ”
Wei Xiaohe's face was even more ugly, "Ahem, cough, I look good at Zhou Sheng, what do you think, mother?" ”
"Grandma, I heard that when Zhou Sheng and Qingxue were in the academy, they moved around very closely, Qingxue's appetite is not good these days, and they have lost a lot of weight, I gave her some hawthorn cake yesterday, and I vomit......ed it directly," Wei Feiyue said.
This has ulterior motives, secretly saying that Zhou Sheng and Wei Qingxue have an ulterior password, so they are in a hurry to propose.
Who can marry and who can't marry has become a difficult problem, Wei Xiaohe still looked at Mrs. Wei's face and acted.
"Wei Feiyue, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't scare people with your nonsense skills, Sister Lu, don't listen to a girl's nonsense! ”
Jiang glanced at Concubine Wei, then walked to Lu's side, took Lu's hand, and said heartily: "I see this family business, the door is right, I will naturally agree, the words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders, and outsiders are not allowed to point fingers here." ”
"Brother Wei?" Zhou Yuan asked Wei Xiaohe, it was time for him to take a stand.
Now Wei Xiaohe is not a person inside and outside at this time, on the one hand, the oppression of Mrs. Wei, and on the other hand, the good son-in-law personally selected by Wei Qingxue, and at the same time, he gave Jiang Shi a look, signaling her to come forward to relieve the siege.
"Agreed, agreed, the two exchanged tokens, and the matter was settled." Jiang said with a smile, waving his hand to let the maid come up with a jade Ruyi.
Lying quietly on the white cloth, the jade Ruyi shined brightly in the sunlight, emitting a little bit of sparkling light.
Old Madam Wei glanced at Jiang, snorted coldly in her heart, and didn't give much of a good face. She, a respected old lady, hadn't spoken yet, so she was in a hurry to exchange tokens with the people of the Zhou Mansion.
But he still gave a little face and no longer pursued Zhou Sheng's sudden visit to propose marriage, but said: "Today's visit, our general's mansion etiquette is really not good, Qingxue's marriage is still more cautious." ”
Wei Xiaohe immediately understood, and said: "Mother, that Zhou Sheng is a talent, I think I can entrust Qingxue, doesn't this just solve your urgent need?" While motioning to Jiang Shi to hurriedly hand over the jade Ruyi, he handed it over.
Zhou Sheng did not shy away from taking it, looked at the white and flawless, snow-like jade Ruyi, and was overjoyed.
The Lu family also took out the Ding's relatives and handed it to the Jiang family, "Where did Qingxue's girl go?" Why didn't you see her coming? ”
"Qingxue didn't rest well last night, and she was not feeling well today, so my master and I didn't let her come over, so she should have woken up." Jiang replied.
Lu Shi and Zhou Yuan nodded in satisfaction at this time, and turned around to say a few words to Mrs. Wei.
"Mrs. Wei is waiting to eat the happy bar." Lu said.
"Oh, this wine may not be comfortable drinking, if you are not in good health, you may not be able to drink it." Mrs. Wei is very weird.
Chen stood aside and didn't interject, Master Wu had already negotiated, and part of the deposit had also gone into Chen's small treasury, what if no one married him?
At this time, the Chen family faintly felt that the mansion was afraid that it would be uneasy, how could Mrs. Wei explain it to Mr. Wu? Again, it's a big problem.
"Xiyue is here to congratulate the third uncle and third aunt." Wei Xiyue said happily.
Only then did people realize that there was still Wei Xiyue in the hall.
"This is General Wei's daughter, right? It's really a beauty, and I've never seen such a smart woman. The Lu family praised Wei Xiyue.
This caused Wei Feiyue's dissatisfaction, Wei Xiyue sat on the chair without any image, and even had one leg hanging on the side of the appearance, looking like a hanger, wearing a loose robe in the color of opinion, and a soft black hair, tied with only a white ribbon, as if it could be loosened with a flick.
"Mrs. Lu praised it falsely, it is appropriate to put the agility on Qingxue this time." Wei Xiyue said
"Hello Mrs. Lu!" Wei Feiyue stepped forward and bowed slightly.
"This must be Miss Feiyue." Lu said a light sentence in his mouth, and sent Wei Feiyue away.
Wei Feiyue was slightly stunned in place, just this sentence? It's gone?
"Huh." Wei Feiyue retreated to Mrs. Wei's side with interest, and the expression on her face had changed her clothes.
After Mrs. Wei weighed up, she could only agree to Zhou Sheng's proposal for the sake of face.
There was a lot of excitement along the way, and if there was no sound, the people outside would definitely say that they were holding a shelf.
"In that case, Zhou Sheng should set a wedding date, so that it is convenient for you and me to sum up the days, right?"
Jiang was overjoyed, Mrs. Wei finally let go, and Wei Qingxue finally escaped.
But the atmosphere was particularly strange, Mrs. Wei was angry with Zhou Sheng, "Young people still have to do some serious things, don't know the love of children all day long, if you chase after you at that time, don't worry, I'm afraid there is no regret medicine." ”
"Old lady, don't worry!"
