The people in Yangshan Village soon knew that Lu Yu was going to Jinhua City to propose marriage, and a small number of people chewed their tongues behind their backs, saying that Lu Yu had always had ulterior motives, so they would leave a message to his family. What's more, it is said that the girl of the Yan family was forced by Lu Yu, otherwise how could a pretty girl who is less than twenty years old look at Lu Yu in her thirties.

But on the whole, there are still many people who congratulate Lu Yu, and many people come to his house, give him advice, and teach him what to bring to Yan's house and what to say. Lao Gao and Lu Di both asked if they wanted to bring more people over, so that they could be strong. Of course Lu Yu said no, this is to propose, not to fight, what kind of momentum do you want to build?

When the children of large families get married, they pay more attention to it, such as what "letter of appointment, letter of ceremony and letter of welcome", these are three books, as well as "Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Najib, Nazheng, inviting and greeting" these six ceremonies. Lu Yu is lonely, and the Yan family is not a big family, so I don't pay attention to these three books and six rites.

In the past eight days, Lu Yu did not go to the Yan family again, this was to propose marriage, and there was no need to discuss with the Yan family in advance. Lu Yu called Lao Gao and Lu Di, and went into the mountains to hunt for several days in a row, and the harvest was not good, there was a wild boar, and some rabbits and pheasants.

The wild boar Lu Yu divided more than half, this is what Lao Gao and Lu Di meant, they said that Lu Yu went to propose, it was best to bring more things over.

On the thirteenth and fourteenth days of the lunar month, Lu Yu quietly went to Jinhua City, and he wanted to buy a gift in advance. There are many people in Jinhua City who know Lu Yu, so he used a small spell to make the people in the city unable to recognize him.

In the past two years, no one has grown cotton or raised silkworms, and only some old cloth can be bought in the city, and the price is still very expensive. Fortunately, Lu Yu is not short of money now, and he bought several of them with brightly colored silk cloths.

Lu Yu picked out a lot of gold and silver jewelry, and in the past few months, there have been many people in the city who have sold gold and silver jewelry. However, these things are not sold for money, only for food. Lu Yu had money and food, he went home and carried a big bag of food back to the city, so he changed a lot of jewelry, all kinds of messy.

On the night of the fourteenth day of the lunar month, Lu Yu went to Lu Tian's house to borrow an ox cart, of course he couldn't ask Lu Mingde to walk with him to Jinhua City. Then Lu Yu asked Lao Gao again and asked him to help take care of the sheep in the yard tomorrow.

This night, Lu Yu hardly slept much, lying on the bed tossing and turning, happy, excited, nervous, uneasy, full of thoughts, and mixed tastes.

Before dawn, Lu Mingde came over to call Lu Yu. Lu Yu didn't know what time it was, so he turned over and jumped off the bed, freshened up, and changed into the green silk gown that Yan Xi'an bought for him.

The carriage was filled with pork, liquor, cloth, jewelry and a sheep packed by Lu Yu, and the sheep was stunned by Lu Yu and tied up and placed on the ox cart. When Lu Mingde saw these things, he said: "There are a lot of things, and it costs a lot of money." ”

"It didn't cost much, and now gold and silver jewelry is worthless." Lu Yu caught the car, and Lu Mingde took the car. Lu Yu always couldn't help but think of some unpleasant things between himself and Lu Mingde and Lu Mingli in the past, and when he thought of this, he didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Lu Mingde didn't seem to remember those unpleasant festivals, and he told Lu Yu all the way that he should say what to say first and then when he went there, when to sit down, and when to get up......

Lu Yu felt that there was no need to be so complicated, he was too familiar with the four members of the Yan family, he had lived together for so long, and he was almost the same as a family, so he would not be polite for a long time.

After passing through Dunlin Town, Lu Ming stopped the ox cart and handed him a package to Lu Yu, saying that it was prepared by his parents-in-law and asked Lu Yu to take it to the Yan family. Lu Yu opened the package and looked at it, there were also some gold, silver and jade inside, but compared to the one he bought in the city, it was much more exquisite, and it should be more precious and valuable.

Lu Yu didn't want such a valuable thing, but Lu Ming said that there were a lot of such things in their family, so Lu Yu must take them. So Lu Yu had no choice but to take it.

Lu Ming knew that Lu Yu and the two of them hadn't eaten, so he brought a few corn tortillas and asked the two of them to eat on the way.

But Lu Yu couldn't eat it at all.

The ox cart was very slow and the road was very long, and Lu Yu was very apprehensive. He sometimes hopes that the ox cart will hurry up, so that he can arrive in Jinhua City earlier, see Yan Xi'an, who thinks about it day and night, and quickly settle the relationship between the two. Sometimes I hope that the ox cart will slow down and not enter the city so quickly, and the excitement will take time to calm down.

Halfway through, Lu Mingde suddenly said: "Da Yu, I dreamed of your third grandfather two days ago." ”

"Yes, the third grandfather, is he okay over there?"

"Hey, everyone is gone, what's the good or not." Lu Mingde paused for a moment, and then said, "He said that he saw your father over there." ”

"My father?" Lu Yu sighed in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Did the third grandfather see my father over there?" ”

"It's over there."

His heart suddenly soured, and Lu Yu's tears almost flowed out. He shook his head a few times, showed a forced smile, and said, "Dreams are not necessarily true. ”

Lu Mingde nodded and said, "Today is a good day, I shouldn't have told you this......"

"It's okay......" Lu Yu suddenly remembered that on the day Lu Sanye was buried, he saw Lu Sanye's soul. At that time, Lu Yu asked Lu Sanye to help him pay attention to his father. Lu Yu couldn't help but guess: "The third grandfather was only afraid that he had really seen his father, so he dreamed of Lu Mingde and asked him to tell him that his father had passed away." But why didn't the third grandfather dream of himself? After thinking about it again, Lu Yu understood: "Yes, I have a spell, and the ordinary Yin Soul dare not approach, so the third grandfather can only dream of others to tell himself." ”

But thinking of this, Lu Yu had doubts: "If my father really died outside, then why didn't he tell me in a dream?" Even if he doesn't dare to come close to me, he can go to Lu Ming. ”

Lu Yu is a little uncomfortable now, in fact, he has long guessed that his father is probably no longer alive, but when he suddenly hears this news, he will still be sad and sad.

Fortunately, this is just a dream of Lu Mingde, it does not mean that this must be true, Lu Yu hopes that his father is still alive, and one day his father and son can finally meet again.

The weather was very good, but Lu Yu felt a little gloomy.

Seeing that Lu Yu's face was not good, Lu Mingde persuaded him: "It's just a dream, you should think about it more, be happy, today is the day for you to propose marriage." ”

"yes, I understand." Lu Yu couldn't help but complain a little about Lu Mingde in his heart: "I know that I am going to propose marriage today, why are you saying this at this time." ”

"Hehe, Da Yu, we are our own people, Uncle Mingde will tell you the truth, your father hasn't come back for two or three years, right?"

"yes, it's been a long time since I heard from him."

Lu Mingde sighed and said, "Then do you think he is still alive now?" ”

"I don't know, but I wish he was alive." Lu Yu felt bitter in his heart.

"Hey, I wish." Lu Mingde patted Lu Yu's shoulder and persuaded again: "You also want to open up and live your own life, this is better than anything else." ”

Lu Yu nodded, and shook his head violently, trying to put his thoughts about his father behind him and shift his attention to the big thing he was going to do today.

After noon, the ox cart entered Jinhua City.

After entering the city, Lu Yu became even more nervous, and his heart was beating so fast that it seemed to be about to break out. There were not many pedestrians on the street, but Lu Yu felt that it was very noisy, his head was dizzy, and his face was hot and itchy, all because of his nervousness and excitement.

The Yan family, who didn't know how to get there, arrived at the door of their house, parked the ox cart, Lu Mingde jumped out of the car and went to knock on the door first. Lu Yu stood behind Lu Mingde, looking down at the ground, almost daring to raise his head.

Soon someone came over to open the door, Yan Xiding saw that it was Lu Yu and Lu Mingde who came together, he was stunned for a moment, and then turned around and shouted: "Dad, Mom, Uncle Da Yu is here." ”

Inexplicably, a thought flashed in Lu Yu's heart: "Yan Xiding, this kid, after today, you can't call yourself Uncle Da Yu, you have to call 'brother-in-law'." ”

"Then please come in with Uncle Da Yu." Yan Yubai agreed, and walked out, he saw Lu Yu and Lu Mingde, as well as the ox cart at the gate of the courtyard and the things wrapped in red cloth on it, he was also stunned, and then invited the two in.

Yan Yubai should have understood the intention of Lu Yu and the others, and he was expressionless and polite, which made Lu Yu very uneasy.

Yan Xi'an didn't come out, Lu Yu heard that she was in the room, she should have been hiding and didn't dare to come out, Lan Shaofang was with her. Yan Xiding was stunned and didn't know what Lu Yu meant, and kept asking him what he was doing, whether he was taking himself to the village to play.

Mrs. Yan kicked her son out of the house, poured tea for Lu Mingde and Lu Yu, and sat down with her.

After taking a sip of tea, Lu Mingde spoke: "Our old Lu family, and your Yan family, have been relatives for decades. "Sister Lu Mingde, Lu Yu's aunt, is in the same room as Yan Jibai, and Yan Jibai is one generation shorter than her.

Without waiting for others to speak, Lu Mingde continued: "After our two families, we are still relatives, but this generation is different, right?" ”

"Hmm......" Yan Yubai didn't nod or shake his head, Lu Yu didn't know what he was thinking. After a pause, Yan Jibai continued: "I also knew about Lu Yu and my daughter, and I didn't object to it. ”

"......Boom" Lu Yu felt that his brain seemed to explode, and there was a white expanse in front of him, and after a long time, the white fog dissipated, and it gradually became clear in front of him: "Sure enough, Brother Yan, no, Uncle Yan really has no objection to me being with Xi'an." ”

"Hehe, Da Yu is a little older, but what kind of person he is, you must know better than me." Lu Mingde didn't expect Yan Jibai to relax so easily, and he also felt a lot more relaxed.

Mrs. Yan said on the side: "Yes, Lu Yu is a good person, he is good to Xi'an, and he is good to us." Xi'an is willing to be with him, we are parents, so what else is there to disagree with. ”

Lu Yu was ecstatic, and the smile on his face couldn't be suppressed at all.
