Chapter 64: Refusal Again
Because the weather is getting colder and colder, for Shen Liumei, who is used to down jacket heating, this winter is really difficult, and today is a cloudy day, she simply sat on the bed, wrapped in a quilt and read a book, and heard the sound of Song Sanniang's clucking and weaving, which gradually soothed her slightly irritable heart.
Life will definitely be better, she looked at the quilt wrapped around her body and nodded to herself.
"Song Niangzi, Song Niangzi." Someone called outside the door.
No one has come to the door for several days, Liu Meibao put down the book in her hand, heard Song Sanniang's weaving sound stopped, and the door creaked open.
"Who?" Song Sanniang asked.
"I'm from the Meng family in the east of the city." The voice of the woman outside the door said.
Liu Meibao pricked up her ears, she couldn't hear Song Sanniang talking for a long time, and there was no sound of opening the door, she couldn't help but be curious, she got up and got out of bed, pushed open the window slightly and looked out.
"What's the matter?" Song Sanniang asked.
"Sanniang, open the door and talk." The woman outside the door said in a kind voice, and her voice was not dissatisfied with being neglected.
Liu Meibao didn't recognize what kind of family this Meng family was, and watched Song Sanniang slowly walk to the door, opened the door, and a woman about forty years old, dressed like a rich person, stepped in, followed by two maids, each carrying a gift.
"Lady of the Meng family, why did you come?" Song Sanniang didn't let her into the house, but asked.
"It's okay, just come and see, my sister has been okay lately, it's so cold, let's go into the house and say." The woman said with a smile as she asked the maid, "Put the things in quickly."
"Wait." Song Sanniang stopped them.
Liu Meibao couldn't see her expression from the window, but she could hear her voice was already displeased.
"The lady of the Meng family is here. If it's still for that, please go back. She continued, gesturing to see her off.
That incident, Liu Meibao suddenly remembered something, for that time Lu Yan proposed marriage, Song Sanniang didn't say much, only mentioned Master Meng, could it be that this woman is the old man Meng's family?
Liu Meibao couldn't help but get close to the window, looked at them carefully, and saw that the Meng woman was a little embarrassed.
"Look. Sanniang, this is actually..."She took a few steps closer to Song Sanniang and spoke in a low voice.
Liu Meibao couldn't hear clearly, and only faintly "... It's an official...""Great future.." Came.
"Please come back." Song Sanniang didn't wait for her to finish, so she stretched out her hand and pushed her. Suddenly stopped again, Liu Meibao saw that her back was straight, "Meng Niangzi." You know how my sister-in-law died, right? We are alive now, but we are not afraid of death, and if you want to persecute us, you don't have to bother. ”
Her sister-in-law is naturally Liu Meibao's mother. The martyred woman, although Liu Zhixian was convicted. But the people of the court still praised the festival women.
With such a mother, her daughter naturally has to regard chastity as her life.
Meng Niangzi understood the meaning of this, her face couldn't help but be even more embarrassed, she said a few words, and then hurriedly took people away.
Seeing that the gift was returned, and listening to the words conveyed by Meng Niangzi, the master looked a little uneasy.
"My lord, this is not a casual thing, you don't know, those women really dare to do this," he whispered.
If the girl was really angry, something happened to her. This matter is going to make a big fuss, of course the government will not pursue anything, but he still knows the status of Liu Zhixian in the hearts of the people of Xie County. Now there are civil unrest in several places, and the court is very angry. If these people also make a fuss, it can be big or small.
Lu Yan got up poorly, there is no complicated relationship on the top, what if you can fight or kill, you really want to transfer the officers and soldiers of the guard, and it is not difficult to kill you A small salt inspector Jiupin salt dealer.
For the sake of a woman, it's not worth putting the good future in sight.
As for the family's opinion, it is estimated that Lu Yan, who was born in a poor family, cannot be expected to understand that the master is pondering his words, and he must be persuaded seriously, but he cannot act recklessly.
Before he opened his mouth, Lu Yan, who hadn't spoken since the people sent by the Meng family's master left, spoke.
"I see." He nodded, sighing softly.
I wanted to get close to the girl, and I asked someone to propose marriage to no avail, through the master from the Qinglou to ask how to please the girl, let a group of people go to the girl Liu to identify the medicinal materials, the first one was smashed, and the girl was vigilant, and finally this way to send favors was also broken, and the marriage was proposed again, or was rejected....
The master couldn't help but pull his beard, and sighed, it's not easy to marry a daughter-in-law.
Therefore, it is troublesome to deal with these stubborn Qing high-ranking officials and eunuchs, so it's okay, adults toss until now, and they should be dead, there are many local tyrants and squires in the entire Hezhong Mansion, and there are always a few handsome girls in these families.
The master couldn't help but think happily, if he proposed marriage to these people, it would be much easier, and he was greatly relieved.
"This means that the words of the matchmaker, the life of the parents, this road will not work in the end." Lu Yan then said.
The heart that the master had just let go of suddenly lifted again.
"My lord...", he looked at Lu Yan in a daze, and almost blurted out the sentence "What do you want to do?"
Is it possible to rob people and force them to get married?
The master felt that he was a little angry, and stretched out his hand to press his waist ribs, God, you are punishing Xiao Lao'er for doing those unfortunate and harmful things, so you let me be here.
"My lord, the official document appointing the adult as the inspector has come down, and there are many relationships to deal with, so I'll go and get busy first." The master swallowed his saliva and said.
Lu Yan nodded, he never delayed and slackened off on official business, and he was much more conscientious than those officials with professional backgrounds in this regard.
The master was relieved, and hurriedly turned around and left, before he raised his feet and took a step, Lu Yan behind him gently floated a word.
"There's one more thing you can arrange." He said slowly.
The master stumbled and almost tripped himself, and he wished that he hadn't heard it, and quickened his pace to leave.
"Didn't you say that the book talked about those things that were privately decided for life's back garden..."Lu Yan said, turning the pen in his hand and shaking off a few bits of ink on the paper.
In the end, the master didn't dare to pretend that he didn't hear, and turned around with a sad face.
"My lord, Miss Liu is locked up at home every day, and even when she goes out, her brother accompanies her," he said.
Besides, it has been picked out to this point, people must avoid him, where to give him the opportunity to make a private decision, what are these reckless people in their heads, the master is very headache.
"My lord, people don't look down on you." The master gritted his teeth and made the words clear.
Lu Yan didn't have the annoyance he expected on his face, he just shook the pen in his hand, not long after he learned to write, the posture of holding the pen was still very stiff, like holding a knife.
"She doesn't know me, she doesn't know me, I... I'll be nice to her. He said lightly.
"Then how can I get acquainted with her?" The master was a little frantic and asked.
"It's not like you, Master." Lu Yan was still calm, looked at his master and smiled, "You have read a lot of books and know a lot of things." ”
Almighty Master, Master can't help but want to kneel down and save the students. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
