Li Mingrui's lunch today was eaten with the butler, and this was the first time he was so old that he had sat down to eat with a servant.

There is a request for the housekeeper outside, so he can only grieve himself and talk about things while eating.

"Housekeeper, let's have a full meal and then go to Dingfu, shall we?"

"Childe, you're here, let's listen to you, you can do whatever you say, but that Miss Ding family may not be so easy to see."

"You've got to try it, right? Ben Gongzi thought of a way, butler, you have a full meal to find a lion dance team, when we go to Dingfu, we have to beat gongs and drums. ”

"Cheng, the little one listens to the child." The housekeeper quickly took a few bites of food, wiped his mouth, and went out to find someone from the lion dance team, who must go to the martial arts hall.

Li Mingrui had eaten, lay on the bed, and thought beautifully that he would see that young lady again this afternoon.

At this time, Li Mingrui had forgotten that the beauty of yesterday, the Ding family was the purpose of his visit this time.

The housekeeper inquired in Chancheng, and there were many martial arts halls in the city of Lourdes, among which the Huang family and the Cui family were the most famous.

Steward Li was looking for the Huang family's martial arts hall, came to the door of the martial arts hall, and saw that the martial arts hall covered a wide area, and there was a big sign outside, the Huang family martial arts hall.

Steward Li entered the martial arts hall and saw that there was a big martial character in the middle of the lobby. There are a lot of young people who are practicing martial arts.

They danced with knives and guns, and there were even some children about eight or nine years old, who were learning to dance lions there, beating gongs and drums, and the martial arts hall was so lively.

Standing in the main hall there was an old man, and beside him stood a middle-aged man, who watched the young people practice martial arts, and the children's lion dance team beat gongs and drums.

There were also people like masters, who occasionally pointed out the young people and children.

There were people at the gate, and the people guarding the door came in and reported to the owner.

The owner asked the gatekeeper to invite guests in.

"Pavilion Master Huang, it really deserves its name."

Steward Li came in and saw someone, guessing that this was the owner of the Huang Pavilion, and clasped his hands into fists.

"Hehe, please come to the guest hall for a gathering."

The owner of the Huang Pavilion also politely clenched his hands into fists, and another middle-aged man also clenched his fists.

A group of three people came to the guest hall of the martial arts hall, the host invited the guests to sit down, and a maid served them tea.

The owner of the Huang Pavilion introduced to the housekeeper that the middle-aged man was his son and inherited the martial arts hall.

Steward Li took a sip of tea and praised them, saying that their martial arts hall was very good.

The owner of the old Huang Pavilion listened to the words of praise, he was modest on the surface, but he was beautiful in his heart, those who studied martial arts were all strong, there were battles between martial arts halls, for the sake of performance and fame, how could there be anything good in reality.

Old Huang Pavilion Master smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, I don't know why you came?" ”

"Pavilion Master Huang, the old man is my son-in-law this time, I want to invite the lion team to join the Huang Pavilion Master if he will accept this business?"

"The business will definitely be accepted, and the distinguished guests don't know what the purpose of moving forward is, let's prepare well and let the best apprentice perform."

"Our young master wants to go to Ding's house to propose marriage, but this matter can't be spread yet, and I hope the owner of the hall will tell me a price, let's do it without further ado, the sooner the better, our young master is waiting at the inn."

"Cheng, the first time a distinguished guest comes to invite us, we will give a cheap price, like our best apprentice here."

The old hall owner Huang gave a suitable price, saying that it was cheap, but it was actually a little more expensive than the miscellaneous lion dancing team.

When Steward Li inquired, he also inquired about the price, felt that the price was appropriate, paid a deposit, and waited for their lion dance team to perform, and then gave the full amount.

The owner of the old Huang Pavilion asked his son to arrange it, and he and Steward Li waited for his son to arrange it in the guest hall.

His son went out to arrange, and it was only a quarter of an hour for his son to set off with some good apprentices and their masters, and there was the strongest lion dance team in it.

When the other brothers heard that there was a bustle, they all followed to see the bustle, and all of a sudden, except for the children who didn't care about it, all the apprentices among the young people were waiting at the door to leave.

When the owner of the old Huang Pavilion heard his son's report that the arrangements had been made, he said to Steward Li: "I wish the son of your Hakka family a beautiful woman."

"Haha, the kind words of the old hall owner of Chenghuang, this is the deposit this time."

Steward Li took out a silver ticket of ten taels from his arms and gave it to the old hall owner Huang, and this time he asked the lion team to ask for 50 taels of silver.

When Steward Li came to the door, he saw that there was only a young man outside the gate who set off together, some carrying a big drum on their backs, some holding musical instruments, some carrying the lion's head, and some grabbing the lion's tail.

I feel that dozens of young people set off together, and the 50 taels of silver are also worth it, the team is huge, and the old Huang Pavilion owner really gives face.

Steward Li rode his horse, followed by some young men walking, lions and musical instruments, all in a carriage.

Steward Li rode his horse, their carriage followed, the young people ran along, the martial arts hall was not far from the inn, and it took a quarter of an hour to reach the door of the inn.

The people on the street saw so many young people, and the lion dance team came to the inn, it felt very strange, did the innkeeper want to wake up the lion?

Steward Li went in to invite the son and knocked on the door.

"Knock knock" Li Mingrui opened the door and saw the housekeeper anxiously asked, "Butler, how are things going?" ”

"Childe, the people from the martial arts hall are waiting outside."

"The butler called the master, brought the gifts and let's go."

"Yes"

Dawn Rui came to the door of the inn and saw a group of young people in Ulala, who were wearing white practice clothes and looked about the same age as him.

He hesitated for a moment and looked at the housekeeper, feeling that a team of young people could get things done.

"Butler, why are you inviting a young man?"

"Don't worry, the owner of the hall said, there is the strongest lion dance team here, young and energetic, do the lion dance, young people can make everyone look happy."

"Okay" Limingrui regards these people as her best men, so many young people together, his son is also very majestic among them.

Li Mingrui mounted his horse, and together with his escort team and housekeepers, he set off to Ding's house with the lion team.

All the way was a team of gongs and drums, so large that many people were curious and stood on the side of the road and watched them walk by.

When they came to the door of Ding's house, Li Mingrui looked at the word Ding Fu on the plaque on the gate.

With a happy expression on her face, she was about to become the son-in-law of this rich family.

As soon as Li Mingrui waved his hand, the people in the martial arts hall beat the gongs and drums louder, and the lion dance team went out and began to dance the lion at the gate of Dingfu.

The man guarding the door of Dingfu ran inside to report.

The housekeeper of Dingfu was irritable and ran out to drive people away.

"Hey, who are you? How do you run to our door to wake the lion? ”

Steward Ding actually met the housekeeper who had been coming to see the head of the house for the past few days and came to the door to propose marriage.

He pretended not to know, Steward Ding didn't know Li Mingrui.

Ding Ningmo's encounter concealed some things from the family and the housekeeper, and Steward Ding didn't know.

His young lady and Steward Li said that his son-in-law knew each other, and he only thought that his young lady had arrived in Annai County, so that other small families and small families would take a fancy to him and wanted to come here to climb high branches.
