The housekeeper looks about a young age, tall and thin, but he is full of spirit, although there are seven points of official authority in front of Zhizhou, but this old housekeeper gives people the feeling that he is not too domineering, but he is kind and kind. Slowly waved his hand to signal Liu Biao to step back, and said to Liu Biao, the head catcher: "You go and order your subordinates to carry the guests' congratulatory gifts to the warehouse one by one, and let the bookkeeper come to the gate, I have instructions." The tone was not heavy, but I knew very well what was in the words of the old butler, and it was full of momentum that everyone could not refute.

Hearing the order, Liu Biao, the head catcher, suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly pointed at me and gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Old housekeeper, this, this kid is here to ......."

"Don't go yet!" The old housekeeper frowned slightly, and frightened Liu Biao, the head catcher, into a fist salute, turned around and left. At the same time, the old housekeeper turned to greet the guests with a smile on his face, such a calm and experienced old housekeeper, but it made me feel that I had no confidence in my heart, such an old and refined person, you can see through a person's mind at a glance, and the old housekeeper in front of me is this kind of person. He glanced me up and down, then pulled me to a place where no one was, and then whispered: "Fang Xiucai, I know your intention to come today, it stands to reason that I shouldn't let you in, but it is my responsibility to maintain the master, and it is my duty to make the eldest lady happy, and it is my duty as a person who sits down, alas, I know that the eldest lady has a deep affection for you...... That's it, Fang Xiucai, I'll let you in tonight with one eye open, but as for whether you can get married, it's up to you. ”

Hearing the old butler's words, I felt as if the old butler had seen through it, and he understood what I was thinking and what I was about to do. Swallowing my saliva hard, I nodded heavily and said, "Thank you for the help of the old housekeeper in the late life, if the marriage can be completed in the future, the late birth will ......"

"That's it, you don't have to say that in the future, whether you can pass this level tonight, it's a matter of two things!" The old butler waved his hand to interrupt me, and at the same time, he said, "Actually, with what I know about the master, you really shouldn't go tonight, because I can tell you now that the master will not agree to your proposal." But since the eldest lady has a soft spot for you, what else can I do as a subordinate? It's up to your kid's creation, but you Fang Xiucai have to remember that I did this for the sake of my eldest lady, not for you! ”

Looking at the old housekeeper's deep eyes, I immediately nodded and said, "Thank you for the success of the old housekeeper!" ”

Still, without the help of the old butler, I still couldn't even enter the gate, and now I can enter the gate, which is also the credit of the old butler. So whether it succeeds or not, I have to thank the old housekeeper with courtesy, he can see through and understand, but what he doesn't understand is that my love with Miss Su Yu is something that no one can cut off, including the head catcher Liu Biao, and Miss Su Yu's father!

Silently thanked the old housekeeper, I turned my head into the courtyard with the gifts, the courtyard of the Zhizhou Mansion, which is the first-class style in the city, and a small garden alone is several times larger than my entire house. Not to mention a large front yard, and the guests through the front yard promenade, directly into the backyard, I followed the crowd all the way, looking at the surrounding exquisite large garden, rockery, stream, the scenery is pleasant, picturesque. After walking a long corridor, I turned a corner before entering the backyard, and the backyard was a big garden, the housekeepers were putting up lights, and in the backyard, dozens of large tables were set up, and many servants were busy serving dishes and bowls, and some were busy pouring tea for guests.

In my opinion, the liveliness of the scene can be described as chaotic coaxing, the guests are in a group, shouting and laughing, and on my side, a group of guests accompanying them directly carried gifts into the inner hall of the backyard, presumably to give the birthday of Lord Zhizhou first, and then find a place to sit. I don't know that even if there are too many seats here, I'm afraid there won't be a place for me tonight, because my main purpose tonight is not to come to pay homage to your birthday and have a big meal, but to propose to Lord Zhizhou, and to get Lord Zhizhou to agree to my marriage with Miss Su Yu.

In the inner hall, there are also a lot of people, two rows of Taishi chairs, sitting the county officials of each county, and some other rich businessmen and nobles, but those who can do this inner hall are generally not small people. On the main seat in the middle, I saw Miss Su Yu's father, wearing a purple brocade robe and jade belt, sitting on it, while his wife sat beside him, nodding and smiling at the guests who came and went to congratulate him.

Behind Lord Zhizhou, there is a huge picture of longevity hanging above the middle hall, and the incense candles below are bright, and the five fruits are complete. On both sides of the hall, servants were counting the congratulatory gifts sent to and from the guests, many of whom had already been counted, and were carried out of the hall by the family members through the side doors. Such a big battle, such a magnificent scene, if I open my mouth and say that I want to propose, I don't know what a huge repercussion it will cause?

However, since I have come, I will not worry so much, and I have promised to show my determination to Miss Su Yu, and I will not back down. Even if there is a torrent of boulders in front, even if there are jackals, tigers and leopards in front, even if it is ...... Even if there are thousands of obstacles and a sea of swords and fires ahead, it can't stop me from making this trip. Just as I was thinking about it, I only felt that the person next to me had smashed me with his elbow, signaling that they had already celebrated my birthday, and it was time for me to come forward and present a congratulatory gift, and congratulate Lord Zhizhou on his birthday.

I trembled, but when I saw the Lord Zhizhou in front of me, Mrs. was stunned and looked at me, my palms were slightly sweaty, I gritted my teeth hard, hesitated for a long time, and then took a firm step to come to Lord Zhizhou, kneeling on the ground, only to hear the surrounding onlookers sigh one after another. Miss Su Yu's mother was about to smile and ask me to get up, but seeing that Su Yu's father, who was also Lord Zhizhou, seemed to have guessed something, and her face suddenly became ugly.

Swallowing my saliva vigorously, I held the gift and a picture of longevity in both hands, and said solemnly: "Late Fang Zihao, come to congratulate the birthday of Lord Qiu of Zhizhou, and wish Lord Qiu a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longevity better than Nanshan!" ”

"Hehe, hurry up, hurry up." Miss Su Yu's mother seemed to be still in the dark, and hurriedly motioned for the maid to help me up, but I was indifferent and still knelt on the ground. At this moment, Lord Zhizhou on the side opened his mouth: "Since you are here to celebrate your birthday, let's get up, if there is anything else, let's talk about it another day!" "This other thing has already shown that Lord Zhizhou knows my origin, and my name is Fang Zihao, I think Lord Zhizhou couldn't understand it anymore, he prevented me from getting together with Miss Su Yu, he must have already checked my family background, and he knows more about me than I do.

Lord Zhizhou's tone was slightly indifferent, which made the guests who were still talking and laughing around suddenly stopped, and they all turned their heads to stare at me, as if they were looking at something rare. And since I didn't say what I wanted to say the most in my heart, I wouldn't get up, and immediately, I said again: "In addition to congratulating Lord Zhizhou on his birthday, I would like to ask for another thing. The late born Fang Zihao, and Miss Ling Ai Suyu are in love, and secretly determined for life, Lord Zhizhou has long known that the late family is poor, and it is not right to be in the wrong household with your house, but the late student is diligent and hardworking, and he will definitely be named on the gold list in the future, and the glorious lintel will not let Miss Su Yu suffer. I also hope that Lord Zhizhou Qiu will fulfill our pair of lovers, the late Fang Zihao, I implore Lord Zhizhou to fulfill it! ”

"Nonsense!"

As soon as my words landed, I saw Lord Zhizhou Huo Di stand up, pointed at me and began to scold: "What are you?" How dare you break in and propose to my daughter so recklessly? And it's on the old man's birthday, do you want to be angry with the old man?! Come! What about the courtyard?! Why is everyone let in, pull this person out! This person is not welcome in my house! ”

I only heard the roar of Lord Zhizhou, and suddenly frightened all the guests inside and outside the hall, and suddenly became silent, and hundreds of people fell silent in an instant. And everyone was staring at what was happening in the hall. Especially staring at me, there are some people, as if they have heard some gossip, pointing at me and talking to each other.

And some people pointed at me and whispered angrily, as if they were scolding me for disturbing Lord Zhizhou's birthday. Soon, I only heard a group of people rushing to the courtyard in the courtyard, led by the old housekeeper. The old housekeeper hurriedly said to Lord Zhizhou: "Master, what happened?" ”

"What's the matter? Hum! You put this person in? Do you also want the old man to die early?! Don't blast him out yet! After Lord Zhizhou finished speaking, he turned to me and shouted angrily: "Fang Zihao, you, you actually gave the old man such a hand, but do you think that if you do this, the old man's daughter will not be able to marry?" You are delusional! All right! Didn't you say that one day you will be able to win the gold list? Then you go to the exam and come back, if you can get the title of the gold list, the old man would rather make amends to the grievances you suffered today, and promise you and my daughter's marriage, but if you can't pass the exam, you will never enter my house again! ”

The old butler came to me quickly and whispered in my ear, "I can't help you this time!" After saying that, the old butler waved his hand, and the other four people strode up to me, kicked the congratulatory gift in my hand, and then carried my hands behind his back, and easily lifted me up. I had just been brought to the door of the hall by them, but I saw Miss Su Yu and the maid running from the side room quickly.

Miss Su Yu rushed to me with an arrow, stretched out her arms to block the way between me and the family, and said loudly to her father Qiu Da Qiu in the back: "You can't drive him away!" ”
