Chapter 2 His gaze was like a fire
Hearing this, Nalan Baiyan nodded slightly.
Ruan Mei wiped away the tears in her eyes, and immediately took out a neatly folded handkerchief from the cheongsam.
Then he unfolded the veil and took out a piece of paper inside.
"This is when Mo'er was alive, those eunuchs who wanted to marry the Overseer's Mansion sent them, all of them were the birthdays of their own daughters, Mo'er was fascinated by that little fox spirit before, and I didn't care about this matter, so I put it on hold."
As she spoke, Ruan Mei choked up a little, wiped the tears from her eyes again, and continued:
"Today, please take a look at the Daoist of Youfang, there are a total of three girls' eight characters and Mo'er-like matches, namely the Dongcheng Jin family, the Nancheng Wu family, and the daughter of Yongan Yinhao, you see, which one do we choose?"
Seeing Ruan Mei's sad appearance, Nalan Baiyan sighed.
Even a person who came in the rain of knives and bullets still couldn't escape the pain of losing his son, and his eyes couldn't help but be moist.
Nalan Baiyan took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "You are in charge." ”
Ruan Mei bowed slightly.
After pondering for a while, she instructed Zheng Changdong: "Early tomorrow morning, you will go to the Jin family in Dongcheng with the dowry to propose marriage." ”
"Yes."
"Alright, you can step aside." Narambo Rock Road.
Zheng Changdong received the order and was about to exit the front hall, Ruan Mei seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly stopped him again: "Changdong, you wait a minute." ”
Zheng Changdong paused, and then turned back: "What does Madame command?" ”
Ruan Mei then took out a small brocade box from her purse, and when the lid of the brocade box was opened, two beads resembling black pearls were revealed.
"Ma'am, this is ......"
Nalan Baiyan and Zheng Changdong looked at the two beads suspiciously, not knowing why.
Ruan Mei immediately said: "I almost forgot, this is what the Dao man handed over to me when he left, saying that he asked Mo'er to hold one of them in his mouth, which can keep the body from decaying and prevent the leakage of essence. ”
Nalan Baiyan couldn't help frowning, and the suspicion on his face was even more victorious: "Is it really so magical?" ”
Ruan Mei handed the beads to Zheng Changdong and said, "There is no harm in trying, if it works, it will be an eye-opener." ”
-
Early the next morning, Zheng Changdong went to the Jin family in the east of the city to propose marriage according to Ruan Mei's instructions.
As a result, I ate the closed door.
Worried that the matter would not be done and anger the marshal and his wife, Zheng Changdong went to the other two families with the dowry, without exception, none of them were willing to marry their daughters to the Overseer's Mansion to be widowed.
In desperation, Zheng Changdong had no choice but to carry the dowry back to the Overseer's Mansion intact.
Ruan Mei couldn't help but be annoyed when she learned about it, and said angrily in front of Nalan Baiyan: "These profiteers really don't know how to raise up, they all wanted to marry their daughters to the Overseer's Mansion when they befriended you in the past, but now they want to break up their relationship with you!" ”
Seeing that Ruan Mei was annoyed, Zheng Changdong hurriedly said again: "Otherwise, my subordinates will try it again?" ”
"Wait." Nalan Baiyan stopped him.
Nalan Baiyan understands very well that it is indeed difficult for them to marry the pearl of their palm to a dead man.
But the reason why they were able to gain a foothold in Kiln City and even the entire province was not because of the protection of the Overseer's Mansion?
It's good now, when the Overseers need them, they run faster than rabbits!
After a moment of silence, Nalan Baiyan already had a plan in his heart.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a trace of danger burst out of them, and then he ordered: "Take three teams of people and tie them up from house to house, I want to see who dares to disobey!" ”
