Chapter 11 Proposals

When I walked to the door of the prefect's mansion and stopped, I saw two red doors, two stone lions, and two gatekeepers.

Hu Tian was wearing muslin clothes, and the people he accompanied him invited were also classmates and friends, even if these people did not have such a good family background, they would not show timidity in the face of the prefect.

With a gentle smile, Hu Tian stepped forward and arched his hand, "Student Hu Tian, I came to the adult's mansion today to propose marriage, and I bothered the two eldest brothers to report." ”

After that, he stepped forward and respectfully handed over two red envelopes, and the two gatekeepers weighed it, and found that there were enough silver taels and did not stop them, and one of them went in to report.

With a "squeak", the door opened, and a middle-aged man came out of it, with a finely trimmed beard, decent clothes on his body, and a piece of jade pendant hanging from his waist.

"I am the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion, and I am here to greet you at the order of the master, Huo Gongzi, a few sons, please."

Hu Tian nodded slightly at the housekeeper, and made a gesture to the housekeeper with a gentle face, "Housekeeper, please." ”

The upright appearance and neat movements are not shabby at all, but quite everyone's style, which makes people nod secretly in their hearts.

"Girl, Huo Gongzi has brought someone to propose marriage." Xiao Yue, dressed in light cyan clothes, walked into the house of Lanyue Pavilion and said as she lifted the curtain.

Opening her eyes, Song Xinyi got up.

By the time she had washed up, Xiao Yue had already taken out a set of clothes from the yellow rosewood wardrobe, a big red big-sleeved shirt with a white skirt.

The piping is embroidered with beautiful and delicate flowers, the belt is embroidered with peach blossoms one by one, and the shoes are red flowers on a white background, which is a set with clothes.

The hair was combed into a bun, with a simple red ribbon tied on the top, and two strands hanging down the shoulders and white jade earrings.

"The girl looks so cold and beautiful, just like the plum blossoms in winter, although the red is dazzling, it is also as cold as frost." Satsuki couldn't help but say a word of praise.

A pair of cold-colored eyes smiled a little because of Xiao Yue's words, and then I didn't know what to think of, and their expressions gradually cooled down until they became as cold as ice.

"Let's go, let's go to the flower hall where we meet guests." He took a slow breath and walked out.

"Yes, girl."

The master and servant went to the front yard one after the other.

Flower Hall.

The prefect held the teacup with a cold face, and not a single look fell on Hu Tian, as if none of them existed in the hall.

After sitting for a while, Hu Tian couldn't sit still, walked out, stood in the center of the flower hall, and bowed deeply to the high prefect.

"The students have seen the adults, and they are ...... today"

"I know what you're here for? If you come to propose, then let me ask you, what promise do you make to give my daughter happiness, and what ability do you have? You said. ”

The prefect was aggressive at the beginning, and did not give Hu Tian a chance to speak.

Fang Leng next to him couldn't stand it anymore, put down the fan in his hand, and also stood up and made a bow.

"My lord, the students have always admired you, but they didn't expect you to be so excessive, and didn't give young people a chance at all."

As soon as he said this, Hu Tian threw him a big roll of his eyes, didn't this make him offend people? This idiot.

Putting the teacup in his hand on the table, the prefect said coldly: "He came to propose?" Or you come to propose! ”

"You ......" Fang Leng only had time to say one word, and then under the eyes of the prefect, he couldn't say a word.

He sat back in his original position with an impatient expression, and it was uncomfortable for him to sit like this......

Hu Tian looked at the prefect with a serious expression, "I know that you don't look down on me now, and I also know that I am not qualified to let you look down on me for the time being, but, don't bully the poor young man, I promise you that I will go all out this autumn and get a reputation in one fell swoop." ”

"Compared to the eldest young master of the Qin family, Qin Pei, my family background is indeed 108,000 miles behind, but I can assure you that I only need one of her in my life, and no one else, if Qin Pei dares to promise like this, I will leave immediately."

"My lord, I don't promise easily, please believe me once."

He lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt on the ground in front of the prefect to marry Song Xinyi, which made the people in the flower hall a little unacceptable.

It must be known that men have gold under their knees, and they kneel to the sky and kneel to their parents, how can there be a reason to kneel to outsiders.

Those people began to get excited, and Fang Leng rolled his eyes and pulled them.

"What are you anxious about, when this marriage is completed, isn't he kneeling to the prefect also kneeling to his father?"

Fang Leng's voice was not small, obviously the prefect also heard it, and the atmosphere was embarrassing for a while, and the prefect's face was pale.

I can't wait to immediately pick up the knife and slaughter these rabbit cubs.

However, he didn't carry the physical broadsword, but the tongue broadsword still carried it.

"What's in your mind, you think I don't know? With her dowry alone, she can have someone to serve her for a lifetime, and you promise me here that you don't feel naïve? I'm thankful that you didn't use her to get promoted and get rich. ”

The prefect's eyes were high, contempt, ridicule, and all kinds of emotions shattered Hu Tian's self-esteem, and the gentleness on his face even disappeared for a while.

"Young people, it's better to be down-to-earth, don't always think about relying on a marriage to reach the sky one step at a time, understand?" The prefect crossed his legs, and so easily stepped on Hu Tian under his feet again.

"Yes, who doesn't know that our eldest girl's dowry is rich, is it hard to guarantee that you didn't think about it for the dowry?" Chen came accompanied by five or six girls.

She was followed by Lin Yunxing, who also looked arrogant, where was there a little bit of flattery when he followed Hu Tian and them on weekdays, with a smile on his face.

The gentleness on his face disappeared completely, and Hu Tian stood up from the ground with a brush, and his face was blue and he almost slammed the door.

If it weren't for the fact that the girl who was as cold as a plum blossom was already his person, he would have left a long time ago, and such an insult could be said to be the worst in his life, and he was unwilling.

His parents were weak, he was sensible since he was a child, and after forcibly separating from his grandmother and uncle, although the family was poor, it was okay.

He has been helping people on the docks since he was thirteen years old, and all the money he earns is for his family.

The books he read were all copied from Fang Leng's books, because he couldn't afford them, so he could only earn some money to buy a little pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

After being admitted to Xiucai, there is no need to pay tuition.

He has come to this day step by step, relying on his own hard work, and has never relied on others.

Although he has the intention of using this marriage as a springboard, it is also because he doesn't hate that girl! even wants her to give birth to a few more lovely daughters like her for him, which is the most important thing.

If not, he Hu Tian needs to rely on women to get on the throne? With his ability, he didn't believe that he couldn't be a great minister, but he was just a little slower, but he was not lacking in patience, and he could afford to wait.

But it was too much for this family to insult him like this.

Looking at his increasingly ugly look, the prefect sneered, "What, poked you in the sore spot?" Know if you are worthy of my daughter? ”

"Hmph, a pheasant in a grass chicken nest still thinks of the golden phoenix, is it really a fool's dream?"

He said it with a mocking face, light-hearted, and understated.

But Hu Tian, who was told by him, was angry in his heart, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Student ......"
