Chapter 81: Marriage Proposal
The county magistrate asked his subordinates to help prepare a dowry for the Lingguan Temple to go to propose marriage.
At this time, the Lingguan Temple was extremely lively, and many people came to see the excitement to see who the woman Wang Zhenren liked.
Fang Xuan, as the matchmaker who proposed Wang Zhenren as a matchmaker this time, naturally wanted to dress up, although the cultivator did not pay attention to the appearance, but at this moment, he also changed into a new robe.
The blue robe was clean, and Fang Xuan's whole person looked energetic.
"Let's go, let's go!"
With Fang Xuan's order, the Sansheng Dao Leader and a mage priest followed him out of the Lingguan Temple.
Behind the crowd, there was also the messenger who carried the dowry.
Although the Lingguan Temple is prosperous in Tianfu County and has many believers, in the final analysis, it is not a rich and noble family after all, but fortunately, in the case of the whole people believing in the Tao, if you want to say that you are poor, I am afraid that it is not too poor
Although the dowry is not a gold or silver property, it is something that is used in daily life, and for ordinary people, this kind of dowry is enough.
And for the rich and noble, if they have a daughter who can marry Wang Zhenren, where do they need any dowry? It's all done upside down!
I saw Fang Xuanqi calm and relaxed, walking in front, the three life and three virtue path chiefs, following on his sides.
Walking all the way, when he came to the mouth of an alley, Fang Xuan stopped.
Behind him, many people who came to see the excitement couldn't help but breathe.
Could it be that Wang Zhenren is really a widow Zhang?
It seems that this rumor is true!
This widow lives in this alley.
"Uh...... That widow's family ......" Fang Xuan thought for a moment, summoned his master, and asked.
Today, as a matchmaker, the county lord naturally did not come, but in order to express the sincerity of the government to support all the decisions of the Lingguan Temple, the master was specially sent to follow.
That night, Fang Xuan followed Wang Zhenren all the way to Widow Xu's house, the night was dark and the wind was high, so naturally he didn't pay attention to the way, only knew that it was in a long alley.
"Fang Daochang, the widow's house, just go in this alley, the fifth family." The master stepped forward and said hurriedly.
"Oooh...... Okay, let's ......" Fang Xuan suddenly, smiled, and walked away.
At this end, the widow received the news in advance, and the whole person woke up early as if she was pregnant with the second spring, and cleaned up the house.
At this moment, Widow Zhang was still thinking in her heart, how should she speak when the matchmaker from the Lingguan Temple came.
Although he is old, more than forty years old, but after all, he is still a woman, he has to be reserved, if the person who comes to the door to be a matchmaker comes, he must not agree, it seems not expensive enough, and he has to be shy and shy.
Thinking of this, Widow Zhang couldn't help but hide her mouth and laugh.
I'm so smart!
"Here we are...... Here it comes...... Here comes the matchmaker......"
Outside the house, there was a shout, and I saw an enthusiastic woman, hurrying in, to report the good news.
"Someone's coming?" When Widow Zhang heard this, her face was overjoyed.
"Here, I've arrived at the mouth of the alley of the alley......" The woman laughed and twisted her fat waist, very happy.
"Okay, then I'll have to get in and close the door." Widow Zhang said, turned around and entered the house.
You have to let the matchmaker knock on the door, and then you can walk out slowly, don't wait in this courtyard and lose your share!
Fang Xuan led a group of people, happily and mightily, and came to the door of Widow Zhang's house in a blink of an eye.
Looking at the lively people, they surrounded the three floors inside and the three floors outside, and almost all the residents in the entire alley ran out.
When he arrived at the door, Fang Xuan was slightly stunned and glanced at him suspiciously.
That night, although the night was dark and the wind was high, Fang Xuan was not a fool, where he went, more or less, he also had some impressions, just looking at the door of this widow's house, it seemed to be a little different from his impression.
So, for a moment, it stopped.
"Daoist Fang, this is Widow Zhang's home." Seeing Fang Xuan's hesitant look, the master hurriedly said.
"This is Widow Zhang's house?" Fang Xuan's eyes widened, as if he wanted to confirm again.
"Not bad."
The gate of the courtyard was already open, and many spectators had gathered in the courtyard, but the door of the widow's room was closed.
Maybe I'm mistaken, let's go in and take a look.
Fang Xuan thought in his heart, and walked inside.
Looking at the pile of people in the courtyard, the master asked, "Where is Widow Zhang?" ”
"Oh, master...... Widow Zhang is in the house......"
"Quick, go call her ......"
"Eh......"
Everyone was in high spirits, pretending to go to the door of the house, knocking on the door, and shouting: "Sister Zhang, someone from this Lingguan Temple and the government has come, looking for you...... Come out and take a look......"
There was no sound in the room.
The people outside were puzzled.
After waiting for a while, the master seemed to be a little impatient, and said, "Shout again!" ”
"Holo ......"
The man knocked on the door again and shouted, "Sister Zhang, come out and take a look, people are coming to the door to ask for relatives...... Don't say whether you want to or not, but it's okay...... You have to come out and meet up, right? ”
"No, I'm a woman, my husband is dead, I'm old, I still have two sons under my knees, where can I climb Wang Zhenren......"
Inside the room, Widow Zhang's slow voice suddenly came out.
But despite this, the door still didn't open.
The person who knocked on the door seemed to be a little anxious, and said: "Oh, Sister Zhang, what you said is not right, don't you want to be decent for a lifetime?" That Wang Zhenren is our benefactor in Tianfu County...... Although you can't climb Wang Zhenren, Wang Zhenren is a person with great virtue, so naturally he will not dislike you...... Would you like to, besides, now...... The matchmaker has already arrived at the door, so why don't you come out and meet you! ”
"Yes, yes...... Sister Zhang, come out quickly and see ......"
"This Fang Dao is long, but the matchmaker is also the benefactor of our Tianfu County, and the master is also there...... Come out soon...... See the previous ......"
“……”
The people in the courtyard outside echoed and said, as if they were patiently persuading.
Widow Zhang in the house seemed to be thinking.
After a while, I heard a "squeak", and the closed door opened.
"It's out, it's out......"
When everyone saw this, they were overjoyed, and their eyes looked into the room.
The widow Zhang inside, her cheeks were smeared with rouge gouache, the powder was like a monkey's buttocks, she wiped a big red mouth, she was wearing a brand-new flower dress, shaking her waist, and walked out slowly.
Everyone present was stunned for a while!
