Chapter 38: On the Way (20)
"No way!" Zeng Mao didn't want to make trouble for himself, this Xing Guan had other plans, in case the Lan family was in trouble, Zeng Yong knew that he was protecting the media, it would not be good!
Although Zeng Yong is a fourth grade, he is young and has the father of Zeng Ge. Zeng Yong will definitely go up in the future, and they can only rely on Zeng Yong to become a military attachΓ©.
Xing Guan didn't expect things to be so unsmooth, he didn't have a backstage, so he always tried to show himself in the army, never dared to be lazy and slack, and was proactive in trouble. Zeng Mao has always admired him! didn't expect Zeng Mao to be unwilling to help him protect the media.
Xing Guan gritted his teeth and knelt down for him on the spot, with an earnest gaze: "Please be fulfilled." As long as I sincerely ask to marry, the Lan family will at least give me a chance. Please also give me a chance. My lord, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, I will definitely be good to the eldest girl of the Lan family, and I believe that the Lan family can also save me from fire and water. β
Zeng Mao scolded him: "You just want to break away from the Xing family, why do you want to use the Lan family as an excuse?" β
"I have no father or mother, and I ask General Zeng to be my father-in-law." Xing Guan kowtowed directly, "If I gain a foothold in the Lan family in the future, I will definitely not forget my father-in-law's great kindness!" β
It seems to have become some kind of promise.
Zeng Mao stared at him with wide eyes.
He took out a brocade handkerchief from his arms: "I saved the eldest girl of the Lan family by the river before, and there is still her handkerchief here." β
Zeng Mao stood up suddenly: "This is what she gave you?" β
Xing Guan shook his head: "This is found." Since he wanted Zeng Mao's help, he didn't dare to lie, and he wanted to see what Zeng Mao had for him.
But Zeng Mao still didn't say anything, Xing Guan had already let go, he gritted his teeth and said: "What are the benefits of the Lan family, it will only be given to General Zhuangwu, and I won't think of you." But the great kindness of the father-in-law, Xing Guan is unforgettable! β
Zeng Mao sat for a long time without making a sound. There are benefits on the Lan family's side, he knows it, but he can't and doesn't dare to stretch out his hand.
After Heyuanzhou, the weather is getting colder and colder, but fortunately, Aunt Gu has been helping to regulate her body, and the Lan family has not had any symptoms.
Originally, the pregnant woman Sun who worried Lu Yingfang the most was the most energetic one, although the journey was not easy, but her carriage was the most comfortable, the journey was really slow, and she didn't have to worry about everything, she ate and drank well and slept well. The most spiritual is her.
Sun looked at the carriage in the distance and twisted Lan Rong around: "Look, General Zeng and that Captain Xing are here again." How do I feel like something big this time around! β
Lan Rong turned around and touched the arm that was twisted, if it weren't for my mother telling me to let you, Lao Tzu would have to twist it back.
"Don't they often come to Mother because of your business?" Lan Rong turned unimpressed.
"Hey, look, it's Aunt Bai, is she eavesdropping?" The Sun clan seemed to have discovered a great treasure, and quickly shook Lan Rongzhuan.
Lan Rong turned his head to look over, and Aunt Bai had already left. He didn't bother to pay attention to Sun, he came all the way, facing this face every day, and he was annoyed to see it.
Of course, Aunt Bai had to leave, because she had to hurry up and tell Lan Yayu that Xing Guan had sent someone to propose marriage.
At this moment, Lu Yingfang's heart ran through countless grass and mud horses.
Lu Yingfang: Death 38, why didn't you say it earlier?
- Huh? Didn't you ask me? It's all trifle, and you can't die. Isn't it just that Lan Yayu almost fell down when she went to the river? I've been saved by Xing Guan!
Lv Yingfang: That's not the point! The point is that they have been contacted, I don't know!
- Lan Yayu fell into the river, but she didn't die!
Lu Yingfang was so depressed that she was about to die on the spot. Aunt Cen didn't report this, could it be that these two goods were privately given to each other?
- It was Xing Guan who took the initiative, and your eldest daughter was just spring-hearted.
, I don't have a big girl!
Zeng Mao continued: "Although Captain Xing saved the eldest girl, he was abrupt of the eldest girl. Moreover, he is young and promising, calm and responsible. He felt uneasy in his heart and asked me to come to the door to propose. β
Lu Yingfang was still in a mess, she looked at Zeng Mao fixedly, which made Zeng Mao a little uncomfortable: "Captain Xing's parents are gone, he is not nostalgic for the capital, if you are reluctant to Miss Lan, he can come to Youzhou." β
This is equivalent to a son-in-law, Xing Guan has retreated to this step, I believe that Mrs. Lan should consider it seriously. However, Zeng Mao still felt that the possibility of Mrs. Lan agreeing was not great.
Lan Rongzhuan, the fourth master of the Lan family, is in the army, and it is easy to introduce military men, and it is not uncommon for Xing Guan to have a nine-grade official body.
Unless the eldest girl of the Lan family has to marry Xing Guan...... Could it be that Xing Guan has already curried favor with her? That's right, he dared to propose marriage, he should have a certain certainty.
Zeng Mao's mind changed in a blink of an eye, and now that everything that should be said is finished, it depends on the attitude of Old Lady Lan.
Lu Yingfang finally understood the feelings of her parents who were afraid of her early love when she was a child. She warned Yayu, but she didn't listen!
Lu Yingfang sighed calmly: "It's too big for me to call the two of them here!" β
What is this operation? Zeng Mao was dumbfounded!
If Old Madam Lan is interested, she can directly call Xing Guan over to ask what happened. Although the eldest girl of the Lan family was abandoned, it was her daughter's family after all, so she asked in person...... Unless two people are already intentional?
In fact, there was no need to summon, the two of them were already outside the tent.
Xing Guan followed Zeng Mao over, and he stood outside the tent, waiting for Mrs. Lan to ask questions at any time.
And Aunt Bai specially asked Xing'er to reveal it to Yayu, and Xing Guan came over to propose. Yayu naturally couldn't sit still and hurried over.
Lu Yingfang saw that the two of them were standing outside with such a tacit understanding, and now that they both came in, this scene was really dazzling!
Xing Guan stepped forward to salute, and then looked at Lan Yayu, warm and joyful.
Lan Yayu saw her mother staring at her sternly, and her original joy was instantly gone.
Lu Yingfang spoke: "Captain Xing asks to marry my daughter, I want to hear your thoughts." β
Xing Guan straightened his waist and said loudly: "My parents are no longer here, and now with my uncle, my grandfather and grandmother are still separated." If I get married, I can split up. If Miss Lan is unwilling to return to the capital, I am willing to go to Youzhou together. β
Yayu couldn't believe his ears, he would rather give up his life in the capital and leave Youzhou to accompany him? Is he sincere?
After Xing Guan finished speaking, he moved his gaze to Lan Yayu, his expression was still a little embarrassed.
Lu Yingfang continued to ask: "If you come to Youzhou, what do you rely on to make a living?" β
Xing Guan naturally hoped that the Lan family could help him keep his official position and use money to open the way for him in the future. He even hoped that the Lan family could give him the recipe and let him use it for business or give it to Shangguan.
Xing Guan said loudly: "I can open a military attachΓ©, I can also be literate and can lead people to write letters, and I can also do some small business." Although I am not rich, I will try my best to support my wife and children. β
Lu Yingfang moved her gaze to Lan Yayu: "What about you?" β
Lan Yayu was asked by her mother and suddenly came to her senses. The mother did not approve of this marriage, if she agreed at this moment, would the mother really write a letter of disagreement?
Lu Yingfang's expression was too serious, and she didn't have the kind and kind questions she imagined. Xing Guan felt a sudden feeling in his heart, he was trying to perform all the way, and even stepped forward to conflict with Feng Da and others. Why is Old Madam Lan unwilling to marry the eldest girl to herself?
Is it disgusting that he has a bad background? But the Lan family has fallen down, and Miss Lan is still so picky about such conditions?
Zeng Mao also felt that something was wrong, and he hurriedly spoke: "Actually, marriage matters still need to be cautious, why don't you think about it for a few more days?" β
If Miss Lan refuses now, I'm afraid she won't have a chance in the future. The main problem now is that Old Madam Lan doesn't seem to agree, and Miss Lan doesn't seem to be ruthless to Xing Guan.
How could Lu Yingfang allow it to delay, her gaze kept falling on Yayu's face.
Yayu's face changed, she moved her gaze to Xing Guan, her eyes were reluctant, and she finally lowered her head: "It's up to my mother to decide." β
Lu Yingfang wouldn't let her kick the ball back to herself, she said coldly: "The first marriage is from the family, and the second marriage is from the body." β
Yayu had tears in her eyes, her mother wanted to reject Xing Guan by herself, and broke Xing Guan's mind.
She took a step back: "I...... I don't want to. With that, he ran out of the tent.
Lu Yingfang smiled at her aunt: "Then there is no way, thank you Captain Xing for your kindness." β
That's too obvious, right? Old Lady Lan disagreed!
Aunt Bai looked at Lan Yayu who rushed out, she secretly gritted her teeth, it seemed that she didn't get her wish. Most of that Lan Yayu can't get married!
This Xing Guan didn't know what was wrong with Yayu by the river, and he got a handkerchief, why couldn't he succeed? It's useless! As long as you get out, I'm afraid that I won't be able to marry Lan Yayu. Goods?
How can you push it again without a trace?
Xing Guan was frustrated, and Zeng Mao was not in a good mood!
They could all see that in fact, Miss Lan was moved, but Mrs. Lan disagreed.
Xing Guan took out the Jinpai from his bosom and said in a low voice, "This handkerchief ......"
Zeng Mao didn't agree with him making a fuss about this handkerchief last night, and he fell behind, even if they were sure to teach each other privately, Mrs. Lan couldn't agree to it. But it also annoyed Old Madam Lan, and he was afraid that he would not be able to take his turn if there was a good thing in the future. After all, the Lan family still has three sons and a few girls to marry.
Zeng Mao smiled: "You find a chance to return the veil to Miss Lan, just say let her put away the veil." You have never dared to take it out, for fear of affecting her reputation. β
Xing Guan is reluctant to return the handkerchief, this is the handle of the Lan family girl!
"There is giving and giving, you have to move the blue girl with sincerity." Zeng Mao looked at the direction of the Lan family's carriage and said confidently, "I see that Miss Lan seems to be interested in you, so you can add to the fire." When the blue girl got the veil, she felt that you were a righteous gentleman. β
Xing Guan pinched the veil tightly, Miss Lan was a little moved, but she was afraid of Old Lady Lan!
Zeng Mao saw that he was reluctant to send a handkerchief, and secretly scolded: Things that can't be put on the table. Think a handkerchief can make the Lan family's wife comply? Even if the Lan family is down, it will be easy for those in-laws to pinch you to death in the capital.
"There's still a long way to go, and I'll try my best to create opportunities for you." Zeng Mao pressed irritability and persuaded patiently.
Xing Guan happily clenched his fists: "Thank you father-in-law." β
Zeng Mao waved his hand: "Just call me as usual first." β
"Yes." Xing Guan responded. Both of them understand that only when Xing Guan successfully marries the eldest girl of the Lan family, there will be a "father-son" relationship between them. If it is not successful, it is a relationship between superiors and subordinates.
