Chapter 19 Proposal

To Xuanyuan Chen's surprise, his marriage with Ah Wan went so smoothly. Not only did E-Niang readily agree, but even his father readily agreed. Then he will go to Qingshui Village in person, propose marriage to the eldest mother, and find someone to measure the auspicious day of the wedding. The only thing that displeased him was that the most recent auspicious wedding day was three months later, and he had to wait for another three months! It's hard for him to think about it! He can't wait to marry Ah Wan home tomorrow, he really can't wait for a day!

On the second day after Wanliang returned to Qingshui Village, Xuanyuan Chen led people to carry a rich dowry: 10,000 taels of gold, 1 jade, a mouthful of white sheep, 3 pieces of Xuanxuan silk, 2 horses of silk, 200 pieces of silk, 2 pieces of animal skin, 12 pieces of wine, 12 pieces of white rice, etc., and came to the lady's house in Qingshui Village in a high-profile and grand manner. These dowries are a bit too generous! The eldest lady was very surprised, repeatedly refused, and refused to accept it, but in the end, under Xuanyuan Chen's full sincerity, she accepted it, saying that it would be a cool dowry. Now Xuanyuan Chen only has to wait until the auspicious day to marry Awan as he wishes. In the end, Xuanyuan Chen stuck to Wanliang for a long time before he reluctantly returned home.

In fact, Xuanyuan Chen really didn't want to be separated from Wanliang for a moment, but he needed to go back to the palace now, first, he had to prepare for many matters of the wedding, which could have been handed over to others to take full responsibility, but he wanted to give Awan a grand and unforgettable wedding, and in some places he wanted to do it himself; Second, he lived in Qingshui Village for nearly four months some time ago and didn't return to the palace once, and as the prince, he did something inappropriate. Now because his father readily agreed to his marriage, it seems that his dissatisfaction with his father has dissipated in the past few days, so he can no longer go home all day, and as a prince, he should assist his father in handling some affairs. Fortunately, if he endured it for three more months, he could be with Ah Wan every day, and thinking about it like this, he finally persuaded himself to go back to the palace.

In the evening, Ah Niu, who came back from fishing, saw a room full of dowry gifts, and instantly understood what was going on. He's not stupid, he's just honest and honest. Since the mother accepted these dowries, it means that she and Sister Xiaowan have agreed to this family business, and it is a foregone conclusion that Sister Xiaowan will marry Xuanyuan Chen. Months of worry and fear finally materialized...... Xuanyuan Chen is finally going to snatch away the little sister he has loved for five years; His little sister is about to marry Xuanyuan Chen; There is no longer any possibility for him and Xiaowan's sister; He and Sister Xiaowan will soon not live under the same roof; Even in the future, it may not be easy for him to even see Xiaowan's sister...... Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a dull pain in his chest that he was about to suffocate, and suddenly he couldn't breathe, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Ah Niu ......"

"Brother Niu......" Wan Liang and the eldest lady saw this, and exclaimed worriedly at the same time.

"Brother Niu, what's wrong with you? You okay? Wan Liang hurriedly ran to Ah Niu's side, took out a silk handkerchief to wipe the blood stains on his mouth, and said with concern.

Ah Niu was unusual, helped Wanliang's hand away, and walked to his bedroom without saying a word.

"Brother Niu...... "Wan Liang knew that he was not happy to see these dowries; knew that he had always disliked Xuanyuan Chen; also knew his feelings for him, but she couldn't give him the response he wanted. Love is often involuntarily, it comes when it comes, and it can't be stopped if you want to. Like, she once tried so hard to alienate Xuanyuan Chen, but her heart was handed over unconsciously and could never be recovered.

"Ah Niu......" followed Ah Niu into his room, saw him as soon as he entered the room, he threw himself on the bed, buried his face in the pillow, did not say a word, and called softly in distress, seeing that Ah Niu did not respond for a long time, the eldest lady sighed slightly, and then, sat on the edge of Ah Niu's bed, stroked his back with her hand, and continued to say softly: "Ah Niu, are you blaming your mother for agreeing to Xiaowan's family affairs?" My mother knows that you are sad, and my mother also knows that you have always liked Xiaowan. But the mother is a person who has come over, and the mother can see that Xiaowan likes the son, and the son is also very good to Xiaowan, they are happy with each other, and they will be happy together. Xiao Wan, it was also a hard time to come to our house, don't you want Xiao Wan to be happy? ”

"Mother...... I feel so bad...... It's so uncomfortable......" Ah Niu choked up, buried his head on the eldest mother's lap and cried, and continued to cry: "Mother...... You don't know how much I like Sister Xiaowan! You don't know! ……”

"Mother knows, mother knows......" The eldest mother continued to caress Ah Niu's back. Ah Niu was brought up by her with a handful of and urine, how could she not know his infatuation with Wanliang. It's just that she can't selfishly hinder the marriage of other people's love for the sake of her son. Xiaowan, the child has been separated from her family so far, and it is already a hard life, how can she bear to destroy her marriage and her happiness. It's no wonder that her son didn't have this blessing.

The next morning, after breakfast, just put away the dishes and chopsticks, Wan Liang, saw that Ah Niu picked up the fishing net as usual and was about to go out fishing, but this morning it has been windy, and with experience I feel that there is still a tendency to blow strong winds, how can I go out to sea to fish in such weather, so I walked over and obstructed: "Brother Niu, get up this morning, the sky has been windy, you don't want to go fishing today." As he spoke, he took the fishing net in Ah Niu's hand and put it back in its place.

"Yes, Ah Niu, it looks like there will be a strong wind later, don't go fishing today." At this time, the eldest lady also said.

In the past, in weather like this, Ah Niu would not go fishing. Seeing that Wanliang had taken the fishing net, Ah Niu still didn't say a word, turned around and picked up the scimitar for chopping firewood, and walked into the mountain alone. He doesn't want to stay at home! Don't look at a room full of dowries!

"Brother Niu...... "Brother Niu" has not said a word to her since she came back yesterday, does Brother Niu plan to ignore her for the rest of his life?

"Xiaowan, Ah Niu is temper, ignore him, it will be fine in two days." The eldest lady walked over and patted Wanliang's shoulder and comforted.

It was not yet noon when it suddenly began to rain heavily in the sky. But Ah Niu, who went to the mountains to chop wood, has not returned. Wanliang put on her robe, put on her cloak, picked up another cloak and cloak, and said to the eldest mother: "Auntie, I will send a cloak to Brother Niu." ”

"On a rainy day, the mountain road is slippery, so slow down on the road." The eldest lady instructed.

As soon as Ah Niu came to the mountain, he slashed at an old tree like crazy, until his hand was soft, and suddenly threw the scimitar aside, fell to his knees, and yelled to the sky in pain: "Ah! ……”

When Wanliang found Ah Niu, what she saw was Ah Niu, who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, soaking wet. "Brother Niu......" Wanliang hurriedly ran over, helped him up from the ground, put a cloak on him, put on a robe, and then took his arm and said, "Brother Niu, let's go home." ”

"Sister Xiaowan......" Ah Niu pulled Wan Liang into his arms and continued to murmur: "Sister Xiao Wan, don't leave Brother Ah Niu!" Don't leave Brother Niu! Don't want Brother Niu! ……”

"Brother Niu, I won't want you, we will always be a family! Brother Niu, let's go home. Wan Liang said and withdrew from Ah Niu's embrace, and then took Ah Niu's arm and walked in the direction of home.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the cloak and cloak were a little useless at all, so when Wanliang and Ah Niu returned home, they were both soaked and embarrassed. Although it was the ginger soup boiled by the eldest lady who drank it in time, both of them still caught a cold. Ah Wan drank the cold-dispelling Chinese medicine boiled by the eldest mother, and after two days, she was fine. On the contrary, Ah Niu, who has rarely been sick since he was a child, also drank the cold medicine boiled by his mother this time, not only did not get better, but he also launched a high fever on the third night. Ah Niu, who was burned in a daze, screamed "Sister Xiaowan, Sister Xiaowan ......", and the eldest lady who took care of him was very distressed when she saw this. The next day, I went to the town again to invite Lang Zhong and watched it. said that he was mainly suffering from liver qi stagnation, and his blood was not smooth, which led to the recurrence of his condition, and he needed to untie the knots in his heart. The remaining aunt and Xiaowan still take turns taking care of him.

This rain is like a cow's illness, it has been intermittent and has been underground for ten days. Xuanyuan Chen was worried that the successive heavy rains would cause flooding, and Awan's house was likely to be flooded. Today, this is the third time he has braved the rain to come to the eldest mother's house and ask them to move to the other courtyard in his town, Liuyun Pavilion. However, Ah Niu was unwilling to accept Xuanyuan Chen's kindness, and stubbornly insisted on refusing to move to Liuyun Pavilion. So Wanliang and the eldest mother also stayed in the cabin because of Ah Niu. Seeing that the rain does not seem to have stopped, most of the crops have been flooded, this rain continues to fall, this wooden house will be flooded sooner or later, and it will be soaked in heavy rain for a long time, this wooden house may collapse at any time, how can he rest assured that Ah Wan continues to live here! Today, no matter what, they have to move to Liuyun Pavilion.

Xuanyuan Chen knew that Ah Wan didn't move because of this Ah Niu, so he walked into Ah Niu's room, and he had to talk to him well. As soon as Xuanyuan Chen walked into Ah Niu's room, he first smelled a smell of Chinese medicine, and then saw that the man lying on the bed had lost weight to a bamboo pole, and he couldn't see the appearance of a young man in his prime, so he couldn't bear it for a moment. He was thinking about how to convince him to move away, when suddenly he said "Get out!" with great anger. "It came to his ears. He also said bluntly: "I know you don't want to see me, I don't like you that much, and I don't care about your life or death." But do you know that your home will be flooded at any time? Because you are stubborn and don't move, and Awan insists on not leaving, you can't bear to see Awan in danger? Now is not the time for you to be pushy, move to a safe place first, and take care of your body. Look at the way you look now, how are you still arguing with me. ”

"My mother has already agreed to your proposal, and you have even set a wedding date, how can I fight with you? How to fight with you! Ah Niu said sadly.

"Even so, you can't let Ah Wan and Auntie live in such a dangerous place with you. You have to move today, and you have to move if you don't. "Xuanyuan Chen has made up his mind to ask them to move out today, and he must not continue to let Awan live in such a dangerous place. couldn't make sense to him for a while, so an arrow stepped forward, quickly clicked on his sleeping hole, and then ordered Shi Qing to take him away on his horse. He told Ah Wan and the eldest lady again about the dangerous situation of being flooded at any time. The eldest lady and Ah Wan also knew that it was not that he was overly nervous, as long as the rain continued to rain for two more days, the wooden house would really be flooded, so they moved to Liuyun Pavilion with him.

Xuanyuan Chen had planned to bring Ah Wan and them to Liuyun Pavilion two days ago, and he had already asked someone to clean up the empty room. As soon as he arrived at Liuyun Pavilion, Xuanyuan Chen placed Wanliang, Auntie, and Ah Niu properly, and asked someone to invite the most famous Qin doctor in the town to diagnose Ah Niu's pulse and prescribe a prescription. It's just that Dr. Qin is roughly the same as the doctor who saw Ah Niu before, mainly because of liver qi stagnation, and the main thing is to open the heart knot. However, this heart knot is Wanliang, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to open it in this life, because he can't convince his heart to forget Wanliang, let alone calmly watch Wanliang tie the knot with other men, he can't do it! He can't do it!

In this world, some things are like this, you have to rely on yourself, and no matter how anxious others look at them, they can't help them. It's like, watching Ah Niu lose weight day by day, seeing it in her eyes, she is anxious in her heart, she said it, and persuaded it, but it didn't have much effect! Now, I don't know how to comfort him! I hope that after a little more time, Ah Niu's brainless brain can slowly see it and slowly get better.
