CHAPTER XXXIX
The prime minister and his wife are still discussing the things to prepare for the proposal of their son tomorrow, and Balabala has a long list of gifts, and the dowry must be more, even if the prime minister's mansion is emptied, he can't lose face for his son.
When talking about dry mouth, Mrs. Prime Minister suddenly remembered something: "You said that the two of them are still quarreling, what if Weiwei doesn't agree?" β
The housekeeper looked at the two people who came in front of him, and said silently: "Master, madam, Miss Lin probably won't disagree." β
Lin Fanwei was still struggling when she walked in: "I'd better go back first, right?" Didn't you say you'd come tomorrow to propose? You're coming tomorrow to propose that I'm still with you today, and what do you look like? Didn't you say that since you have arrived in ancient times, you should abide by the rules of the ancients? Hurry up and let go! β
Ming Jiashu didn't care how she chattered all the way, until she walked to the door before saying, "Now that you're going in, are you sure you still want to look like this?" β
Lin Fanwei glanced at the amiable prime minister couple in front of her, dignified for a second.
Ming Jiashu couldn't help laughing when she looked at her serious sitting.
If an ordinary woman is afraid that she will be criticized for a long time, her in-laws will also think that she is not dignified and reserved, but Lin Fanwei is different, she was just chased by Lord Lin yesterday and scolded, and today you can see Lin Fanwei in the house to prove that there is nothing between the two, and it is too late for the family to be happy.
Lin Fanwei walked over extremely dignifiedly, and walked over with the etiquette of more than 20 years of modern times and more than 10 years of ancient times: "Weiwei has seen the prime minister and the lady. β
Mrs. Prime Minister hurriedly walked over and took her hand affectionately: "What is Weiwei polite to us?" Hurry up and take a seat, Kashu didn't say you were here, if you had known, the meal should have been prepared again, and I don't know if it suits your appetite. β
Lin Fanwei hurriedly said: "Madame is polite, I'm not a picky eater." β
Ming Jiashu has already ordered: "Change the eggplant, Weiwei doesn't eat it, and the chrysanthemum is also replaced, and she won't eat it." β
Lin Fanwei: "......." your uncle! Are you so happy to dismantle my platform?
She smiled awkwardly: "Actually, I can also eat ......"
The Prime Minister's wife glanced at Ming Jiashu reproachfully, and then said intimately: "It's okay, it's okay, it's normal for people to always have something they don't like to eat, but in fact, those Jiashu don't like to eat either." β
Lin Fanwei looked at Ming Jiashu in surprise, Ming Jiashu met her eyes and pouted: "What are you doing?" Can't I stop eating? β
Lin Fanwei smiled: "You can't be a picky eater!" β
The restraint of eating a meal is restrained and happy, the restraint is given to Lin Fanwei herself, after all, this is the future mother-in-law's house, and she will live here after a while, living with them, the previous tension hit in an instant, and she almost wanted to escape immediately, and the joy was given to Lin Fanwei by this family.
Everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion knows that this is the future heroine, the future Mrs. Shizi, she knew it several years ago, this idea is naturally deep-rooted, and she naturally respects Lin Fanwei, and Mrs. Shizi is so beautiful, not to mention how good it is to stand with Shizi.
When Lin Fanwei was eating at the Prime Minister's Mansion, she naturally couldn't hide it from the people in the Uncle's Mansion, and it happened that Lin Chengyuan was writing a letter to Lin Weilang, who was stationed in Chuncheng, and was about to pack the envelope after writing it, but after hearing the news, he opened the envelope and added a few words bitterly, so that he could prepare to come back in the next few months, and his own Weiwei was going to get married.
The second day's proposal! The whole Imperial City knew about it.
There is always a group of special people in the imperial city, similar to storytellers, but they are a little more gossip than storytellers, and the themes of storytellers are basically bought from them, probably they are professional listeners to the root of the wall, and they listen very accurately, not to mention that the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Uncle's Mansion have been married for many years, and seeing that Miss Lin Er has been married at the beginning of this year, it is only a matter of time before she is hired.
What's more, the Prime Minister's Mansion has no intention of concealing it at all, and he can't wait to make a big deal known to everyone in the Imperial City.
I do know it.
The storyteller's mouth is the most powerful weapon, and within half a day, everyone gathered on East Street to watch the Prime Minister's Mansion carrying boxes of dowry gifts to Uncle Guo's mansion.
The next hire has always been a matchmaker, Ming Jiashu naturally can't go, can only stay at home and wait for news, come to ancient times for so long, there have been a lot of dissatisfaction with the ancient etiquette, this is the most dissatisfied, their own dowry, it is equivalent to a marriage proposal, how can you not be on the scene of the proposal?
If she didn't go to the scene, would Weiwei feel that she didn't pay attention to it?
Yiyun felt that his eyes were dizzy by Ming Jiashu: "Shizi Shizi, aren't you tired?" Don't take a break? β
Ming Jiashu's footsteps paused slightly, only to find that he had been walking around, if it weren't for Yiyun's reminder, he found that his feet were very sore: "Yiyun, do you think it's too late for me to go now?" β
Yiyun was stunned: "What are you going to do?" β
Ming Jiashu replied: "If I don't go to such a big thing, I always feel that I don't pay enough attention to it." β
Yiyun said with a smile: "Childe, the lord invited you a matchmaker from the Ministry of Rites to come over, and the emperor granted it, this is not enough attention?" β
Indeed, only the prince and princess can invite the matchmaker of the Ministry of Rites to be hired, and the Prime Minister's Mansion can be invited, in addition to having a good relationship with the people in the Ministry of Rites, it is nothing more than seeing that this is the queen's niece, and the emperor also likes this very much, for ancient people, it is indeed enough attention, but for Lin Fanwei, this is far from enough.
He asked, "Is the thing I asked you to fight last time ready?" β
"Is this the ring?" Yiyun took it out of his arms and was a little sorry: "If you don't say it, I forgot." β
It was a very small ring, Ming Jiashu was specially made according to the modern style, and there was no diamond inlaid with rubies, and the gold was very eye-catching, but few people here had the habit of wearing rings, especially women.
Yiyun scratched his head and asked puzzledly, "Shizi, if you give this to Miss Lin, will she like it?" β
Ming Jiashu said: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!" β
Yiyun: "......"
"What do you say? Ming Jiashu proposed to Lin Fanwei?! In the quiet Shi Mansion, Shi Xian'er's voice was so sharp that it hardly looked like hers.
She walked a few steps forward quickly, and looked at the maid in front of her: "Why is it so fast?" β
The maid trembled with fear in her eyes: "Yes, yes." β
Shi Xian'er gritted her teeth: "Did you hear it wrong?" Did you read that right? β
The maid shook her head, bowing her head and not daring to say another word.
Although she had already made all the preparations, Ming Jiashu and Lin Fanwei would definitely get married, but she didn't expect this day to come so quickly, she thought that she still had time to fight, but she was not given this time at all.
She almost wanted to rush in front of Ming Jiashu immediately, but she knew that even if she rushed over now, it would be useless, and after a long silence, she spoke, "I want to write a letter." β
"Miss, Miss," Xiao Ting and Xu Xu took turns running to report what they saw: "The matchmaker who came is an adult from the Ministry of Rites, the master invited people in, and the dowry was brought in, and there are dozens of boxes!" β
"So much?" Lin Fanwei's mouth opened wide in surprise.
Xiaoting wondered: "Why don't you look happy at all?" β
Lin Fanwei pouted: "How much does he give, how much do I get back according to etiquette, how can I be happy?" β
Xiaoting: "...... Miss, I wouldn't want that if it were you. β
Lin Chengyuan was indeed surprised, it was not surprising that the person who came was from the Ministry of Rites, but this dowry was inevitably too exaggerated, did this empty the entire Prime Minister's Mansion?
Lord Wang of the Ministry of Rites smiled and let people sing the gift list, and sang for almost half an hour before stopping, gold, silver, jewelry, houses, land deeds, shops, restaurants, and restaurants are readily available, I am afraid that most of the property of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he smiled and said: "Today for the Prime Minister to come to the door to propose, another day to ask for a cup of wine, I wish the two newcomers and harmony!" β
Lin Chengyuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang, for your good words!" β
"Miss, Miss," came running in lifelike and fast.
Lin Fanwei had already been reported by the two of them with a little headache: "What's the matter?" β
The smiling eyes were gone: "Ming Shizi sent the dowry gift." β
"Didn't you send it a long time ago?"
Lifelike sent the thing carefully: "It was sent by Ming Shizi himself,"
She was stunned for a moment, and took the box, the palm-sized box, the pear blossom wood carving is very exquisite, and the patterns on it are showing that this is a box that is definitely worth buying, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated a little, probably guessing what was inside.
Gently opened, the contents were revealed, a small ring, delicately engraved with a simple pattern, and a ruby set on it.
When they took it out, Xiaoting and Xuxu were a little disappointed: "It turned out to be a ring!" β
"But it's quite delicate." Xiao Ting smiled: "Ming Shizi knows that Miss likes these gadgets, right?" β
The ring on his hand is not heavy, but it is the first time he has received this thing after living for more than 30 years, it is as heavy as a thousand gold, what does it mean that he gave this ring?
"Is Mingjiashu still outside?"
"Huh? Yes, right? β
"I'll go find him."
Ming Jiashu knew that she would come, so he kept standing at the door and waiting.
The back door, of course.
His family is proposing at the front door, and it is impossible for him to stand in front and date his fiancΓ©e, right?
Lin Fanwei's footsteps were so fast that she even forgot that she should be elegant and dignified now, the red skirt bloomed like a flower at her feet, and it was slightly rippling in the lake, the embroidered shoes stepped lightly on the stone road, and the hairpins on her head, the pearls and jade collided and jingled.
There is a maple tree at the back door, it grows very big, about a hundred years, it was supposed to be transplanted, but because the family is reluctant, it is still planted there without moving, into the late autumn, the maple leaves are all red like flames, and under the red maple leaves, a teenager is looking up at the maple leaves, he stretched out his hand, the fingers with distinct bones are as white and delicate as the best jade, he raised his eyes slightly, as if he liked one of the maple leaves, a certain joy and tenderness were revealed at once.
The girl behind her stopped, and the jade ring around her waist collided one last time, still disturbing the painting in front of her.
Ming Jiashu turned his head and saw Lin Fanwei standing by the door.
She wore a red dress today, as if it was a good day today, he had never seen this red dress, and it was the first time he saw Lin Fanwei wearing it.
The dark red color is more and more lined with fair skin, the material of silk, the corners of the skirt move slightly as if the flowers are blooming, the waist is a belt gold thread embroidered with vine patterns, as if it is wrapped around the waist Yingying a hand, the waist is hung with a jade ring to hit the jade pendant, the jade beads hanging down the hairpin between the hair hang down the black hair, the slender and white neck hangs a small pearl necklace, her eyebrows are picturesque, just bow her head and walk down the steps, when she walks to the bottom, she raises her eyes, the crow-colored eyelashes are distinct, as if a butterfly is stationed, Spread his wings when he raised his eyes.
He wanted to reach out and grab the butterfly.
Worried about offending the butterfly again.
"Why did you get out?" He looked away a little embarrassed, and asked with a dry cough.
Lin Fanwei raised her hand and opened her palm, and the ring lay quietly in the palm of her hand: "Why did you give me this?" β
