161 Marriage Proposal (3)
That's why Lin Dongxian was ruthlessly driven away on the mountain that time, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart. The reason why I mustered up the courage to come to the door to propose marriage this time was mainly because the rumors in the village were boiling and too ugly. He couldn't sit still any longer, or he would come to the door to propose marriage, for fear that Lin Zhiping would marry Lin Dongxian to someone else, so he couldn't do it anxiously. Looking at Zhou Mingmu's appearance, there seems to be something unspeakable.
Lin Dongxian didn't want to pursue it anymore, "Let the past pass, I just don't ask." When did you buy a house next door to my house? I really didn't notice it at all, and looked at him with slanted eyes. Zhou Mingyue coughed lightly twice, "Yesterday." "Two words popped out between my teeth, I bought it yesterday. It seems that it is really to prepare for marrying her, and a warm current flows through my heart in an instant.
"Dong Xian, it's not early, I'm also going to hunt in the back mountains, you wait for me to come and marry you." Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end, Zhou Mingmu pursed his lips and said hoarsely. Miao came in with bone broth, and Lin Xuan was about to feed her, but she shook her head and refused.
"Lin Xuan, let me feed you, you go out and do Dong Xian's business!" Miao's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he walked quickly to the bed with bone broth and sat down. "Mother, then I'll trouble you, I'll go out first, and I'll come back to accompany the stamen later." Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows, and walked away with a smile on his face.
Miao took a spoon and scooped a mouthful of bone broth to Hua Rui's mouth, but she turned her face away and avoided it: "Mother, I don't want to drink it, you put it down first, and then drink it when you are hungry." "Rui'er, what's wrong with you, the bone broth should be drunk while it is hot, it is good for the child to eat it, listen to my mother, is it okay to drink two sips?" Miao calmly persuaded and handed the bone broth in the spoon to Hua Rui's mouth again.
"Oh, mother, I said, if you don't want to eat, don't force me to eat." Hua Rui impatiently pushed Miao's hand, and in an instant the bone broth in her hand spilled on the ground. Only then did he come back to his senses and was about to sit up to appease Miao, who squatted down and picked up the debris on the ground.
"Mother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, it's just that I'm not hungry now and don't want to eat. Mother, don't be angry with me, I'll apologize to you, okay? Hua Rui was at a loss to open the quilt and apologize to Miao, for fear of making her unhappy, so she went back to Qingping Village angrily and left her here alone! After picking up the debris on the ground, Miao silently shook off Hua Rui's arm and prepared to leave.
"Mother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, don't be angry with me, it's all my fault, I'm not good, I'll admit my mistake to you." Blossom tilted her face, holding back the tears that were about to flow, and opened her mouth tremblingly. Miao sighed, she gave birth to a daughter, she still doesn't know what kind of temperament she has.
"I'll throw these pieces out and clean the house, or my son-in-law will have to ask when he comes back. I'll come to accompany you later, obedient, it's cold on the ground, go to bed and lie down to rest, the child is important. Miao Shi said with a little concern, he didn't know if he didn't look at it, and he was startled when he saw it, "Hua Rui, you are about to go to bed, why don't you even wear shoes?" Miao frowned, and Hua Rui noticed that Ben was in a hurry, for fear that Miao would ignore her.
Seeing that Miao was not angry, she went to the bed and covered the quilt and lay down to rest. The Wu family went to teach the girls, and Lin Zhiping looked at the twenty dowry gifts in the courtyard alone, not to mention that what Wu said was right. If you don't agree to marry Lin Dongxian to Zhou Mingmu, who will marry her? In the past, he didn't like Zhou Mingmu, it was because he was a small hunter, and he was reluctant to marry Lin Dongxian to marry him and be wronged, so he lived in a thatched house in the back mountain.
Right now, Zhou Mingmu actually bought a house next door to them, as well as more than 20 large boxes, plus a dowry of 20 taels of silver, which shows his intentions for Lin Dongxian. Lin Zhiping was still stubborn, but he already recognized this family business in his heart. "Dad, don't be stubborn, this family business is already a certainty." Lin Xuan smiled at the corner of his mouth, sat next to him, picked up the teacup on the table and drank it.
The corners of Lin Zhiping's mouth trembled, and he raised his hand and knocked on his head: "Hmph, you kid, you are all married, and you haven't talked to your father yet." Your daughter-in-law is pregnant, and in front of your son, if you do this again, I'm afraid that you will learn the same. Listening to the tone of his voice, he was no longer angry.
Lin Xuan pretended to flatter: "Dad, I just persuaded you, I see that Zhou Mingmu is very attentive to Dong Xian, and he came to propose marriage early this morning, which shows that he is full of sincerity." And Dad, I don't think Dong Xian is so disgusted with him, if he really dares to bully Dong Xian, I can't spare him. Besides, he lives next door, Zhou Mingmu is right under our noses, forgive him and don't dare to bully Dong Xian. This is reasonable, Lin Zhiping snorted expressionlessly.
Zhou Mingyue refused to go back even on vacation at night, she had to pester Lin Dongxian, and shouted that she was about to get married. must accompany her more, and until now, a pair of hands are still tightly wrapped around Lin Dongxian's arm, refusing to let go. Lin Zhiping and Wu glanced at each other, didn't say anything, and let them make a fuss. Lin Dongxian glanced at Lin Xuan for help, big brother, don't laugh, help me.
Lin Xuan had a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, and shrugged helplessly, it's not that the eldest brother doesn't help you, but Miss Zhou is really difficult, I still have to go back to the house to accompany your sister-in-law and little nephew, you just ask for more blessings. Lin Dongxian said stubbornly: "Sister, let go of me, you finally have a holiday, go back to accompany Mrs. Zhou quickly." ”
"Sister, if I don't go back, I'm going to stay with you. If you have to let me go back with my mother, how about you go back with me? Zhou Mingyue's eyes flashed and said, how could she be so smart. Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to accompany Lin Dongxian and Mrs. Zhou, killing two birds with one stone. Lin Dongxian......
Under Zhou Mingmu's soft grinding and hard soaking, Lin Dongxian didn't know which tendon was wrong, so she nodded and agreed to Zhou Mingyue, and accompanied her back to the Ruyi Embroidery Workshop early tomorrow morning to accompany Mrs. Zhou. Wu and Lin Zhiping drove the ox cart back to Qingping Village, and told Lin Qinghe and Zhao that Lin Dongxian and Zhou Mingmu were married. The couple also had to go to the back mountain to finalize the date of marriage with Zhou Mingmu.
Although Zhou Mingmu's parents are gone, he is alone, and there is still a number of etiquette that he should have. "Sister, let's go to the Jin Mansion to have a look and see if the godfather has come back?" Zhou Mingyue's face was worried, she hadn't been seen for five or six days, where was it? I don't know if Jin Kuiye came back, or if he sent someone to look for Youyo. This point went with Lin Dongxian's thoughts, originally she was still worried about how to talk to Zhou Mingyue, but now it's okay.
The corners of Lin Dongxian's mouth curled and smiled: "Well, listen to you." The housekeeper of the Jin Mansion hurriedly greeted them, and when he learned of their intentions, he lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and said slowly: "Two girls, there is no news from the master for the time being, and I will send someone to urge them later." "There seems to be no other way.
As soon as she entered the door and was about to go in to see Mrs. Zhou, Zhou Mingyue let go of her arm, lifted the corner of her skirt and ran in, affectionately held Mrs. Zhou's arm, tilted her head, and said briskly: "Mother, my sister is getting married, I can't bear her." A hint of surprise flashed in Mrs. Zhou's eyes, so soon, Lin Dongxian was about to get married. Facing Mrs. Zhou's suspicious eyes, Lin Dongxian took a few deep breaths, then spit out and nodded gently.
After Mrs. Zhou sent Zhou Mingyue away, she deliberately took Lin Dongxian's hand and said something close to herself, which flattered her. Lin Qinghe was quite calm, he didn't squeak, Zhao couldn't sit still, snapped, and slapped the table angrily: "Do you still have our two elders in your eyes, such a big matter as Dong Xian's marriage, if you don't come back to discuss it with us, you will make up your own mind." The rumors in the village are good, but they are not necessarily true, Dongxian is not unable to marry a good family, what do you have to marry a hunter? ”
Lin Qinghe's face shook, how could the Zhao family change his mind so quickly. When Lin Zhiping and his wife hadn't come back yet, the Zhao family kept chattering and marrying Lin Dongxian to Zhou Mingmu and making her suffer. As she wished, Lin Dongxian and Zhou Mingmu kissed, and she changed her face instantly. Lin Zhiping looked embarrassed when he heard this: "Mother, you said that Dongxian's reputation is like this, how can anyone still want to marry her, it is better to let her marry Zhou Mingmu." ”
When did Lin Zhiping become so unimportant in Lin Zhiping's heart. The reason why Lin Zhiping said this was that on the way back, Wu repeatedly told him not to be too happy, otherwise according to Zhao's temper, he would definitely oppose this family affair, and it would be unlucky and unlucky. Try to follow Zhao's wishes, don't touch Lin Dongxian's moldy head.
Of course, Zhou Mingmu bought a house next door, not to mention a dowry of more than 20 large boxes and 20 taels of silver. The Zhao family's heart suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, Lin Dongxian had a bad reputation in the village, and dared to beat her in front of everyone. In addition, she spent the night with Zhou Mingmu in the back mountain, and no man would marry her.
"Hey, Dong Xian is your daughter, I don't count if I say it. Since you have agreed to this family business, I can't say anything. But I also want to remind you that when she marries Zhou Mingmu, she will live in a thatched house in the back mountain. I can't see you a few times a year, how much money can he have as a small hunter, in short, you have to think about it carefully. When the time comes, Dongxian will complain about you, think about it, I still have to make lunch. As she spoke, a flash of joy flashed in her eyes, and she walked away.
Lin Qinghe sighed when he saw this: "Third child, what your mother said is right, you can make your own decisions about Dongxian's family affairs." Now that it's decided, let's do it quickly. "The rumors in the village are boiling and unpleasant, so that he has been hiding at home and not daring to go out. Lin Zhiping originally listened to Zhao's mocking tone, and couldn't help but want to tell them about the dowry gift given by Zhou Mingmu.
Wu's eyes stared at him, remembering that she had told him on the road, and he finally endured it. "Dad, we'll go to the back mountain after dinner and set the date with him." Lin Zhiping said softly, and Lin Qinghe responded lightly. At noon, Lin Zhiwen, Hua Shi, Wang Mingyi and Lin Zhiwu all came over to eat together. At the dinner table, Hua also ridiculed Lin Dongxian for staying with Zhou Mingmu all night.
Wu's face was gloomy like a stone fished out of an ice cellar, and Lin Zhiping hurriedly handed Lin Zhiwen a look for help, telling Hua to stop talking. After Lin Zhiwen got the signal, he kicked Hua Shi with his foot, "What are you doing, what I said is right, it's not that their husband and wife didn't teach Dongxian well."
The big girl with yellow flowers went to the back mountain to live with Zhou Mingmu for one night, and the rumors in the village were boiling, I went out, and many people came to ask me. Do you think I dare to go out? They're fine, the family moved to town, but what about us! Don't pull me, why can't you say anything. Hua ignored Lin Zhiwen at all, turned his head and glared at him angrily.
Why can't she even speak, she should coax Lin Zhiping and his wife. Yes, their family has money, they bought a house in the town, and opened an embroidery shop, but for them, what good is there? There is no benefit at all, and he refuses to give Lin Jue's house in his hometown, so it is strange that the Hua family can have a good face for their family.
"Okay, don't say a word, get out if you don't want to eat!" Lin Qinghe slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the table, and Zhao's eyelids were raised, but he didn't squeak. Wang Mingyi ate carelessly, she wished that Lin Dongxian would marry to the back mountain, she deserved not to live a good life in this life. In this way, her heart will be balanced, and she will feel very fragrant when she eats rice.
Hua ignored Lin Zhiwen's pull, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, stood up Teng, and said clearly: "If you don't eat, you won't eat, I'm not happy to eat, there are no good dishes." "Daddy, don't be like her, I'll call her back for dinner." Lin Zhiwen was just about to raise his butt and get up, but was swept over by Lin Qinghe's fierce eyes: "You sit down for me, whether she likes to eat or not, it's all spoiled for you." What kind of attitude, my mother and I are still there, she lost her temper and left. Do you marry a daughter-in-law and come back, or do you marry a bodhisattva and come back to make offerings! ”
Forced him into a hurry, and he could say anything. Lin Zhiwen's body trembled, but finally sat down and continued to pick up the bowl, picked up the chopsticks and ate. Zhou Mingmu came back with two wild boars in his hands and a wild deer on his back, Lin Zhiping from a distance saw him coming back, standing still, and the Wu family beside him pinched him hard: "What are you still doing in a daze, go and help take down the wild deer on Mingmu's back." ”
Why let him go, he is also Zhou Mingmu's father-in-law, "Go quickly!" Wu urged again impatiently, Lin Zhiping reluctantly raised his feet and walked over, reaching out to pick up the wild deer on Zhou Mingmu's back, but he refused with a smile. Lin Zhiping's face instantly turned black and blue like pig iron, he was kind enough to help him, but Zhou Mingmu still didn't appreciate it.
Wu Shi went up to take the two hares in his hand, and chuckled: "Give it to me, I'm tired!" After leading the couple to the house and sit down, Zhou Mingmu put down the wild deer and was about to pour tea for them, but Lin Zhiping refused: "Okay, don't be busy, come and sit down, we have something to tell you." ”
Zhou Mingmu calmly walked to the table and sat down, and the three of them discussed the day of marriage together. The sun set, Lin Dongxian was about to go back, but Mrs. Zhou insisted on keeping her for dinner, and Zhou Mingyue coquettishly wrapped her arms to prevent her from moving. "Good sister, you can stay with me for the night, and I will go back with you tomorrow morning." Poor baba's big eyes stared at her, if she didn't agree, Lin Dongxian estimated that she would shed tears.
