Chapter 173: I also have the intention of marrying this family
The next day, after breakfast, the group scattered around and went around to inquire about Xu Jingsheng's whereabouts.
At noon, everyone came back shaking their heads.
After some inquiry, they were in a very heavy mood, there was no prisoner of war in Shuanglong City, what did this mean?
Everyone didn't dare to explain too much, and Xu Jingluo had already guessed that there would be such a result, so he didn't ask too much.
"Let's go, it's still too late to get to the docks." She beckoned everyone to the west of the city.
Since there is no news of the person you are looking for, there is no need to delay in the city any longer, and buy a boat and fishing nets to return to the fishing village earlier, and every family still has a lot to do.
When they arrived at the wharf, the group went to the shipyard, and after some bargaining, the price of eight taels of silver per boat did not change, but each boat gave fifteen fishing nets, which was equivalent to a free gift of fishing nets.
Well, it's quite a deal, you must know that these fishing nets are woven out of hemp, and ordinary people don't have this craft.
After paying the money, the owner of the shipyard beckoned his men to push the boats into the water along the tracks, and then went straight down the river.
This kind of boat was no more hollow and rotten wood than the original one, and it could hold up and row very fast, and on the morning of the third day, more than two dozen boats sailed straight into the sea.
The sea is calm, and after entering the sea, I can't help but itch when I see the leisurely fish in the water, and I catch a boatload of fish before returning with a full load.
At this time, the shore was already crowded with children from the village, constantly waving at the fishing boats on the sea, and Runtian and Yi Bao were also mixed in.
As soon as Little Gray saw the two little guys swish, he jumped out of Xu Jingluo's arms and jumped into the sea.
After that, the dog slid all the way to the shore, and circled around the two little masters merrily, throwing them off in the water.
At this time, Xu Jing'an's eyes also turned to the shore, and when he saw a familiar figure crowded into the group of children, he immediately said happily: "Sister, look, who is that person?" ”
Xu Jingluo hurriedly followed the sound and looked towards the shore, only to see Meng Fei standing there with a smile on his face.
He and Runtian Yibao talked and laughed, as if they were quite familiar.
"This~~ What is he doing here?"
Xu Jingluo propped his chin, and he could actually guess it in his heart.
Having dinner at Meng's house that night, she always felt that Meng Fei's burning eyes had been locked on her, and she was very tempted by her.
Xu Jingan also saw it and looked at her happily.
"In my opinion, Brother Meng Fei has fallen in love with you, should my sister consider him?"
Meng Fei was also born with a talent, except for a long scar on the back of his neck, he had no other disabilities.
Of course, the most important point is that he has also married a lady, and he and his sister seem to be more compatible than Gu Gongzi.
"Don't think about it." Xu Jingluo glanced at Xu Jingan, "Don't want to marry me when you see a man, I don't want to marry." ”
While the two were talking, the fishing boat docked.
"Brother Meng Fei, why are you here?" Everyone waved to Meng Fei warmly.
It took more time to take a long detour by water than by land, so he arrived later than Meng Fei.
"I'm here to deliver something." Meng Fei didn't say it clearly, replied with a smile, and then looked at Xu Jingluo, "Sister Jingluo, Brother Jing'an, let's take the children back first, the children's clothes are wet." ”
Little Ash shook them off with water, and their clothes were indeed wet.
Xu Jingluo responded with a light smile, and then took out the repackaged candy and gave it to the babies one by one, and then went to his own courtyard.
"Mother, uncle, Uncle Meng Fei, take your time, let's go home and take a shower first."
Runtian and Cestbon hugged the little gray ash and ran home.
"Run slower and be careful of wrestling." Meng Fei told with concern in the back.
He had already arrived at the fishing village yesterday afternoon, and he was familiar with not only Xu Jingluo's family, but also the people in the village.
"Luo girl, you're back."
On the way, I met the aunts and aunts carrying buckets and baskets to the beach to carry fish, everyone smiled and said hello, and when Meng Fei passed by, they inevitably stared at him twice, and secretly compared him with Gu Changgong.
I think that the two men are good, they are both born with talents, and they are about the same age, so it is good if Gu Gongzi does not come back to marry Meng Gongzi.
Xu Jingluo was originally worried that Meng Fei was here to ask for marriage, but he never thought that when he arrived at the gate of his yard, he saw that there was actually a carriage parked there, and there was a horse tied next to it.
Seeing Xu Jingluo's eyes widening in disbelief looking at these two things, Meng Fei explained with a smile.
"This horse and carriage were given to my father by the second prince of Beiliang, and my father said that you may need this carriage more than us, so he sent me to send the carriage over."
Xu Jingluo was not only moved, but also moved.
She had been thinking about how she could get a carriage so that she could carry goods around town.
I never thought that Uncle Meng knew her mind so well, and she sent her to the door before she arrived at home, and she Xu Jingluo wrote down this kindness.
"Uh-huh, then I'll take it unceremoniously." Xu Jingluo said generously, "Wait until I go to the city next time I go to your house to thank my uncle." ”
This carriage is not something that can be bought with money, maybe there is only one in Shuanglong City, so Xu Jingluo didn't plan to use money to insult this kindness.
Meng Fei smiled, "What thanks?" It's all their own family, and they go directly into the house when they enter the city. ”
When he said this, his eyes couldn't help but be attracted by that pretty and slightly heroic face, and he couldn't help but be impressed by her appearance and temperament at a glance, even if he was branded with a prisoner on his face.
Xu Jingluo smiled calmly and didn't say anything more.
At this time, Xu Jingan chased after him with a bucket of seafood, and Xu Jingluo bent down and glanced into the bucket.
There was grouper, abalone and squid, and a large lobster with teeth and claws, which was half an arm's length for an adult.
"Brother Meng Fei, I'll get a delicious seafood for you to try at noon today." Xu Jingluo smiled heartily.
Meng Fei was also looking at all kinds of seafood in the barrel, his eyes full of novelty.
I'm afraid that even the Southern Zhou Emperor didn't eat much of what was produced in the sea, let alone people like them who lived in the barracks when they were young.
He nodded and said, "I've never eaten before, but today is a blessing...... I'll give Sister Jingluo a hand in a moment. ”
As they spoke, the group came to the gate of the courtyard.
Mama Cao stood on the edge of the terrace with Zhang's arms and looked at Xu Jingluo in surprise, "Daughter, why are you so slower than Meng Gongzi by land?" ”
"It's a long detour by water."
Xu Jingluo explained, beckoned Meng Fei to sit down, poured him a cup of chrysanthemum tea, and then sat down next to Zhang.
Zhang chatted with Meng Fei while drinking tea, and his impression of Meng Fei was also very good.
Meng Fei is tall and tough-looking, although he is not as handsome as Chang Gong, he is also very manly.
If her daughter is willing, it would be good to marry him.
Especially the Meng family is really good, and even the only carriage in Ssangyong City was sent to them.
Not only that, but the carriage also brought a lot of carefully prepared gifts, and it seems that the Meng family also intends to marry this family.
This is not a blind guess, those gifts were prepared by Aunt Meng with Uncle Meng, and she also hopes that her son can marry such a caring girl home as a daughter-in-law.
Xu Jingluo didn't feel embarrassed because of this matter, the Meng family is not a cautious person, and he will choose an opportunity to talk to Meng Fei Geming later, so that he can break this mind as soon as possible.
While drinking tea, Xu Jingling came out of the house with two plates of pastries.
"Brother Mengfei, eat pastry."
When she said this, her voice was glutinous, and her cheeks were red and very delicate and cute.
"Thank you, Sister Jingling." Meng Fei thanked him gently, Xu Jingling smiled shyly, turned around and left.
This little girl~~ doesn't look quite right, Xu Jingluo muttered in his heart, this little girl, isn't she in love with Brother Meng Fei?
No, no, Jingling is only fifteen years old, and Brother Meng Fei is twenty-four, she should have thought too much, and the little girl was shy when she saw a strange man.
After drinking tea for a while, it was almost noon, so Xu Jingluo rolled up his sleeves and wrapped his bib around him and went to cook.
Meng Fei also followed into the stove room and helped light the fire and wash the pot.
Xu Jingluo took a basin and fetched a basin of water and began to clean up the abalones.
These abalone are big, in modern terms, they are all two abalones, and two abalone weigh one pound.
"This kind of seafood is actually very easy to cook, just steam it directly, but you have to grasp the heat well, so as to maintain the original umami."
