Volume 2: Chapter 8: The Mystery of Life (Part II)
Mrs. Chen nodded, she had her own plans in her heart, how could the county magistrate also be the parent official of Longmen, and only such a family could be worthy of her daughter, not to mention that she really hadn't heard of Li Batian's bad reputation, although she heard that he was a little overbearing, but in his heart, these are all as they should be, and it is normal for the prince of the county to be domineering. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAnother point is that it is not easy to refuse the proposal of the county, and refusing it is tantamount to offending the county, and it will not be good to live in Longmen in the future. Chen Yuanwai also had thoughts about these thoughts.
At this time, the matchmaker opened her mouth, "Hey, Chen Yuanwai, Mrs. Chen, we know that the eldest lord of the county is the parent official of Longmen, and it is also her blessing that Gongzi Li takes a fancy to your daughter!" Your family is a rich man in Longmen, and Lord Li is the magistrate of Longmen, and he is the right person, but he is envious of others! This family affair is simply a match made in heaven, talented and beautiful, I see, it's so decided! What do you say, Mrs. Chen? The matchmaker had already found a breakthrough after Mrs. Chen spoke, so she asked Mrs. Chen directly.
Mrs. Chen nodded, and said, "At this time, it is up to my master to decide." ”
"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, Chen Yuanwai also hopes that Miss Chen will find a good family, Li Gongzi is a talent, handsome, and the only son of Lord Li, Miss Chen will not be wronged when she arrives at the Li Mansion, hehe, right, Li Gongzi?"
"Yes, yes, the kid will definitely treat Miss Chen well, treat her sincerely, and will live up to her." Li Batian responded and said.
Chen Yuanwai thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed to this family business. Seeing Chen Yuanwai nodding, the matchmaker immediately laughed and said, "Congratulations, congratulations!" The Li Mansion and the Chen Mansion got married, but it was a big deal in Longmen! Congratulations to Mr. Li, congratulations to Mr. Chen! Now that the family affair has been completed, let's choose an auspicious day for the zodiac! ”
"Okay, Brother Chen, what do you say?" Li Hongshen laughed and asked Chen Yuanwai.
"Let the county master call the shots!"
"Okay, it's decided, I will immediately send someone to ask the Qingyun real person of the Sanqing Taoist Temple on the mountain to approve an auspicious day of the zodiac, and then I will inform you. Batian, why don't you come and meet your father-in-law. ”
Li Batian hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Son-in-law to meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law." ”
"Li Gongzi, please get up." Chen Yuanwai got up, bent down and raised his hand, and said to Li Hongshen: "Since this is the case, I will wait for Lord Li to approve the day, and Hua Jiao will come to greet him." ”
"Haha, okay, then the official will leave first, Chen Yuanwai will stay, let's hurry up and prepare for the wedding ceremony!" After saying that, several people hugged each other and dispersed.
Seeing that Li Hongshen and the others were leaving, Chen Yuanwai said to his wife: "Go and talk to Yu Yan!" ”
"Okay, I'll go and tell my daughter about this happy event." After that, he smiled and went to Chen Yuyan's boudoir.
Before Mrs. Chen entered the door, laughter spread into Chen Yuyan's room, and as soon as she entered the room, Mrs. Chen saw her daughter, "Yuyan! Mother and you have a big happy event, today the county magistrate brought Li Gongzi to propose. ”
When Chen Yuyan heard this, her body shook, and the pen she was holding in her hand slipped and fell on the painting that was about to take shape, and the painting was completely in vain, so she turned back to Mrs. Chen and said, "Mother, what did you say?" ”
Ping'er next to her has not yet recovered from the shock.
"I said that the son of the county magistrate came to propose."
Chen Yuyan finally confirmed what she was listening to, and sat on the ground with a weak body, Ping'er hurriedly went to help, "Miss, Miss, are you okay?" ”
"Daughter, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Yuyan didn't hear anything, and her heart was already in chaos at this time, proposing? Propose? Zhixian Gongzi, what should Junfeng do? Chen Yuyan was in a coma in a hurry, and when she woke up again, it was late at night, and Mrs. Chen had already gone back, only the bottle was waiting by her side. Chen Yuyan opened her eyes and looked around, and said to Ping'er: "Ping'er, you go and prepare the four treasures of the study, and I want to write a letter to Junfeng." ”
"Okay, miss, I'll go." In a moment, Ping'er had already prepared the four treasures of the study, placed them in front of the table, and helped Chen Yuyan up, Chen Yuyan's face was pale at this time, and she didn't have much strength to hold a pen in her hand, and still wrote: "Fenglang, today the county magistrate came to propose marriage with his son, and his parents have agreed, what should the two of us do?" After writing, he put it in an envelope and said to Ping'er: "Ping'er, you go to Longmen Academy and hand over this letter to Junfeng, go quickly." ”
"Yes, Miss, I'll go now, Miss, don't worry, I'll help you back to bed first." Then Bottler hurriedly left the Chen Mansion with the letter, came to the Longmen Academy to find Ouyang Yunkai, explained the intention, handed him the letter, and waited for Ouyang Yunkai's reply. Ouyang Yunkai opened the letter, and after learning the details, he was also unstable, almost sitting on the ground, looking at the letter, he didn't say anything for a long time, but turned Ping'er next to him in a straight circle, "Ouyang Gongzi, are you talking?" What should I do? You can't afford to lose Miss? ”
"Ping'er, Ouyang Yunkai and Yu Yan are in love, and they have already made a private decision for life, how can they bear him, you go back to take care of Yu Yan first, I have to think about what to do?"
"Okay, I'll wait for you with Miss, you have to hurry, it's too late." After Ping'er finished speaking, she turned around and ran towards Chen's mansion.
Ouyang Yunkai had no sleep all night, although he was only eight years old, but there was no good way to do this, at this time there were only two ways in Ouyang Yunkai's mind, the first was to marry Chen Yuyan in front of the prince of the county, it can be seen that this method is extremely difficult, the Chen family and the county master have already negotiated the day, this is already a sure thing; The second way is to elope with Chen Yuyan and escape from Longmen, this is the next policy, once she elopes, Chen Yuyan's reputation will also be ruined, and from then on, Chen Mansion will also be a place where everyone ridicules, which is not what Yu Yan wants to see. Ouyang Yunkai didn't come up with a feasible way to break his head.
On the other hand, Li Hongshen, the magistrate of the county, has already found a real person from the Sanqing Taoist Temple to approve the date, and is scheduled to marry on the eighth day of the next month, which has been less than half a month. Within half a day, everyone in LM County knew that Li Batian, the son of the county, married Chen Yuyan, the daughter of a wealthy businessman Chen Yuanwai, and it was said in teahouses, restaurants, streets and alleys, Ouyang Yunkai had heard the news without waiting for Ping'er to tell him. Now that the matter is imminent, Ouyang Yun is in a hurry, and he really can't do the elopement method.
Ouyang Yunkai came to the back door of Chen's mansion with a letter, and handed the letter to Chen Yuyan through Ping'er. The letter stated: Now that things have not turned around, Junfeng really can't think of any alternative road, only elopement all the way is feasible, if Yuyan agrees, take your belongings, and meet at the stone bridge outside the city tomorrow night and elope into the distance, see you or disperse.
