Chapter 63: Asking for Marriage
Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Qi Ruo and Qi Mo heard the sound of firecrackers outside before they got up, and soon remembered the sound of gongs and drums outside the door.
Yesterday's vigil, Qi Ruo was tossed by Qi Mo again, this time his brain was not very clear, and he muttered and turned over.
"Who's the ...... in the morning?"
Qi Mo frowned and squinted outside, then turned over and hugged Qi Ruo into his arms.
"I don't know, I'll sleep a little longer......"
But it's blowing outside, where can people sleep?
Qi Mo sat up impatiently, as if he suddenly thought of something, he raised his head suddenly, turned over and was about to get out of bed.
Qi Ruo almost woke up, rubbed his eyes with his hands and sat up: "What's wrong?" ”
Qi Mo originally wanted Qi Ruo to sleep for a while, but on the first day of the Lunar New Year, she couldn't lie in bed, and since she woke up, she didn't have any reason to lie back again, so she put on new clothes and went out with Qi Mo to watch the excitement.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, Qi Ruo saw Aunt Wang sitting on a stool in the hall angrily.
"Godmother, what's wrong? You were also woken up by the sound of gongs and drums outside? ”
Aunt Wang slapped the table and stood up suddenly: "It's not that old and not ashamed, but I'm so angry, I'm noisy outside early in the morning, who is more pompous than who?" ”
Aunt Wang's words were clueless, Qi Ruo didn't quite understand, and when she turned around to look at Qi Mo, she saw Qi Mo's unspeakable look, so she had to open the courtyard door in confusion.
I saw Dr. Lin standing in front, and a few people behind him were blowing and beating, as if there was some great joy, at this time, most of the people got up, but attracted a lot of people.
When Qi Ruo saw this scene, he couldn't wait to bury his face in the soil, pretending not to know his master, but the master didn't spare her, and when he saw the door open, he also waved at them, and said loudly: "Today, I am sincerely hired, and I hope to marry Lingtang." ”
Qi Ruo was very at a loss, turned his head to look at Qi Mo, and saw Qi Mo holding back his laughter.
She finally understood, it turned out that this person had already known, and she was afraid that she had sent her away yesterday and never came back just to talk about it.
She glared at Qi Mo fiercely, Qi Mo understood, didn't dare to stand aside anymore to watch the excitement, cleared her throat and stepped forward to help the person.
"Master, don't, you are my and Qi Ruo's master, you are facing us, I'm afraid you're not going to break our life."
Aunt Wang had been eavesdropping on the movement outside when Qi Ruo went to open the courtyard door, and after hearing this, she walked to the door in a few steps, first glared at Dr. Li, and then said to Qi Mo: "Bah, I really met you on the first day of the Lunar New Year, you said you were good, what are you doing with your daughter-in-law?" ”
After saying this, she crossed her waist and said to Dr. Lin again: "You are a bad old man, how old are you still doing this?" Aren't you afraid of people laughing off their big teeth? ”
Doctor Lin made another serious gesture: "Yes, yes, yes, it's wrong." ”
As he spoke, he sighed wistfully.
"I wanted to propose marriage to you at the beginning, but I was afraid that you would refuse, and I thought that I was so old in Xiadu, and I couldn't make up my mind for a while, so I shamelessly used my identity as Qi Ruo's master, repeatedly went in and out of your house to get close to you, and brought you a lot of trouble, it's really a big deal, I want to marry you openly and honestly, I don't know if you are willing?"
Isn't this just referring to the recent rumors in the village, but I didn't think that this was the case, and the people in the village whispered for a while.
Dr. Lin was also very moved by Aunt Wang, but the worries in her heart could not be dispelled for a while, and she secretly clenched her fists to restrain the impulse in her heart.
Seeing that Aunt Wang still didn't say a word, Dr. Lin continued: "I know that I was thoughtful before, and I was a scholar in vain, which brought a lot of gossip to your house. ”
Qi Ruo was very moved when he heard this, he didn't expect his master to say such things, and it was really rare to see his posture so low.
She couldn't help but look at Qi Mo, who immediately stood beside her obediently and whispered to her ear: "I will let the master take all the responsibility on myself, I didn't expect that the master could still say such a sensual thing." ”
Qi Ruo couldn't help but shake her head, her husband was really getting more and more slippery.
It can be seen that the eyes of the women present are all envious, and the men are all surprised, and they don't know who started first, and everyone began to coax.
"Aunt Wang, you will promise Dr. Lin."
"Yes, Dr. Lin is a good man."
……
Aunt Wang blushed when everyone said it, and the whole person seemed to be a lot younger, showing a few different flavors.
Come to think of it, Aunt Wang was also good-looking when she was young.
Qi Ruo saw that Aunt Wang was loose, and stepped forward with a smile to grab her arm: "Godmother, you should respond." ”
Qi Mo also echoed: "Yes, godmother, shouldn't you master not know how long he has been making trouble in front of our door, and he is going to make trouble so that no one can rest." ”
As he spoke, he gave Dr. Lin a look.
Dr. Lin understood and hurriedly said, "If you don't agree to me, I will wait here until you see my sincere promise." ”
Aunt Wang looked at Qi Ruo, then at Qi Mo, and finally let go of the hand that was clenching her clothes, and said angrily: "You have a lot of tricks, don't you still take a bite at a time?" It's good now, it's me, don't drag the text? ”
Dr. Lin was a little embarrassed by Aunt Wang's words, and waved his hand silently.
Seeing this, Aunt Wang's smile became thicker at the corner of her mouth: "Since you said so, the villagers also looked at it, and I also put my words on the bright side, I am a widow. If you can really accept it, then we will get married! ”
As soon as Aunt Wang's words came out, many people in the village lowered their heads and remained silent, and they also passed on this Kefuke behind their backs.
But Dr. Lin was overjoyed, looked up at Aunt Wang, and his slightly cloudy eyes were full of light: "Okay, okay, I don't believe those words, it's good if you agree, just don't dislike me." ”
Qi Ruo and Qi Mo looked at each other and smiled, the matter of Aunt Wang and Dr. Lin was settled, and one of their wishes was fulfilled.
Now that the courtship is done, the rest is to make wine.
Aunt Wang is remarried, and she has no reason to put on any more pomp, maybe she made a joke, and she didn't bother to take care of it, so she said that it would be good for each family to scatter some candy.
But Dr. Lin refused, saying that he had wronged Aunt Wang, and that he had to make wine, not to wear wedding clothes, but also to wear red clothes, and then invite the villagers to have a meal.
Aunt Wang didn't think that Dr. Lin, who seemed very wooden in terms of feelings, could think of this step for her, and she couldn't refuse his wishes, anyway, there were many people who did this, so she agreed, and the date was set after the New Year.
Now that Aunt Wang and Dr. Lin have decided this, Qi Ruo wants to find out whose mouth that pickled words came from.
"You say...... Could it be the Song family......"
"It's not."
Qi Mo replied without hesitation, which made Qi Ruo suspicious: "Why are you so sure?" ”
Qi Mo smiled weakly: "I don't ...... I asked her if she was there. ”
Qi Ruo figured it out, Qi Mo went out for so long yesterday not only to give the master ideas to please his godmother, but also to ask for verification.
"Is her word credible?"
Qi Mo didn't dare to look at Qi Ruo anymore, his eyes were looking east and west.
"I specially found a place where no one was there to block her, and I didn't move her, I just intimidated her."
Qi Ruo didn't speak for a long time, Qi Mo thought she was angry, so she was about to peek at it, but she felt a pair of warm little hands on her face, and she pinched her before she could react.
He was stunned on the spot, but Qi Ruo opened his mouth first: "It's not stupid at all, it's quite smart." ”
That's not it, the reputation of the Song family is now stinky, no one has seen this, who will believe her when she goes out and says that she was threatened by Qi Mo? It's just that she's going to make waves again.
"Who's that?"
It's not the Song family's ghost, who wants to say such things for no reason? Have they inadvertently offended anyone?
It's really hard to find out about this matter, one person has been out of a hundred mouths, who can tell who said that sentence under this word of mouth?
But there are always smart people in the village who want to climb up to Qi Ruo, after all, she has good medical skills, who hasn't had a disaster without pain?
Besides, even if her medical skills are now well-known, and many people who are not from Jinzhou also come here, she is still the same to the people in the village, and she only charges so much silver for medical treatment, so it is naturally beneficial for such people to get along.
This smart man is the Ma who loved to be a peacemaker in the past.
She didn't come up to talk about it, she just hung out and chatted as usual.
"It's so nice to be innocent today, so let's talk about stringing the doors. Aunt Wang, I see that you are also in good spirits when you are happy. ”
Ma Shi said with a smile while knocking the melon seeds that Qi Ruo brought out.
Aunt Wang is inevitably polite.
A few women talked back and forth, and finally got to the point.
I heard Ma sigh heavily: "Alas, don't take it to heart, there are people who love out of nothing, and now it's good, everyone envies Aunt Wang." ”
As soon as Qi Ruo heard this, he knew that Ma was going to tell them who was playing right and wrong behind their backs.
She immediately followed Ma and asked, "Aunt Ma, do you know who is chewing the root of her tongue behind her back?" ”
Ma Shi waved his hand, Qi Ruo's mind turned, and he asked again, and Ma Shi seemed to reluctantly lower his voice and said, "Just ...... The second daughter-in-law of the old king in the east of the village said. Her son wasn't two years old, wow, he was ...... at the time."
This has to start with the incident of Qi Ruo's visit to the doctor some time ago.
On the same day, Qi Ruo was hurriedly invited into the carriage by a horseman, saying that his master suddenly fell ill, and it was helpless to invite a doctor to come and see, so he thought about inviting her to take a look again.
Qi Ruozi would not refuse, she put on the medicine box and got into the carriage and left, but before she left the village, she seemed to hear someone calling her, and when she looked back, she didn't see anyone, she just thought that she had heard it wrong.
"Hey, it was a misunderstanding, so I'll say you're not such a person." Ma Shi took Qi Ruo's hand and looked quite affectionate, "She, that's the heart of a villain, her son just has a fever, and she herself is angry and chases the carriage and falls." ”
Ma is a good person, seeing that Qi Ruo doesn't seem to be angry, Aunt Wang doesn't look angry, she probably knows that they won't pursue it, and said: "Speaking of which, she also really feels sorry for her baby, but where is this to accumulate blessings for the baby......"
Qi Ruo added another glass of water to Ma's and pulled the conversation away with a smile.
