Chapter 57: Asking for Marriage

After choosing a painting he liked, he carefully put it away, and then began to write a letter, waiting for the letter to be written, and it was not too early.

Old Madam Xiao called someone to call Yueya to set off.

Sending Xiao Jingshen away, Yueya also changed into clothes to go out and walked out, and by the way, she inquired about how to deal with Qinghe.

The old lady saw that she had not made a big mistake and that Qinghe had done something unintentionally, so she punished her to kneel in the ancestral hall to repent and not eat dinner.

At this time, at the gate of Xiaofu, Mrs. Xiao was already sitting in the carriage waiting, and as soon as Yueya arrived, Mrs. Xiao asked the groom to invite Yueya up.

"Grandmother."

"Come on, come and sit, you and I still have Mama Jin today, and we can talk on the way."

"yes, it's been a long time since we've been out together."

Yueya sat down next to the old lady, and then ordered the groom to set off, and said by the way, "Master Yang, please say it when you get to the post station." ”

"Don't worry! Miss Yueya. ”

The carriage swayed and walked outside, although the distance to the neighboring county was a bit far, but fortunately, the road was smooth and easy to walk, and it only took two hours to take the official road to arrive, and there was no hurry to come back tonight, so Mrs. Xiao instructed Yueya to prepare a change of clothes and prepare some food.

When we arrived at the official road outside the city, it was sparsely populated, and the horses walked relatively quickly.

The sooner the old lady Xiao felt, the more restless she felt, and she said lightly: "Yueya, you said that if this Miss Tao Yueru doesn't want to marry Jing Yan, what should I do?" ”

"After all, Jing Yan's matter has already been spread."

Yueya pondered for a moment and said lightly: "Don't worry, Miss Tao will definitely marry." ”

"How so?"

In the eyes of the old lady, Tao Yueru is the kind of person who can't look down on their declining official family, and she won't choose a man who has just been divorced, but what Yueya said she also wants to try.

After all, Yueya has already retired from her husband, and it has nothing to do with Xiaofu, and she will have to leave sooner or later.

She has to find someone who can be diligent and thrifty like Yueya to suppress Qinghe and become the housewife of the Xiao family, then only Tao Yueru is the most suitable.

Yueya smiled, "Grandmother still remembers a Chung Yeung Festival, when there was a dragon boat race, and the uncle saved a woman who fell into the water. ”

"Yes."

"The woman who was rescued was Tao Yueru, it stands to reason that the uncle touched her, and a girl's innocence is gone, and she will cry and cry and shout for the uncle to marry her, but Miss Tao didn't, but ran away while someone was rescued when she was rescued."

Old Madam Xiao exclaimed, "Oh, I remember that time, you and Jing Yan had just been married for a month, but that woman was wearing a veil, how did you know that she was Tao Yueru." ”

"Because when I was rescued, I happened to see her face, and I can't forget the way she looked at her uncle's shy eyes."

At that time, she loved Xiao Jingyan very much, so she was naturally sensitive to the women who looked at him, and it was also at that time that she knew that Tao Yueru was a strong woman, and she didn't want to be Xiao Jingyan's concubine, so she ran away, after all, Xiao Jingyan had already married her at that time.

And this time Xu Taoyue is in the main house, she will definitely marry in, which is also the reason why people go all over their prefect to ask for marriage, and she does not agree to marry.

Old Madam Xiao said, "Will she really marry?" ”

"Grandmother has me, don't worry!"

"Okay."

After talking, Mrs. Xiao began to doze off, and Mama Jin covered her with her clothes, and then said to Yueya, "If Miss Yueya is sleepy, close your eyes and rest." ”

"Okay, Mama, then you help me look at my grandmother, I'll squint."

"It's okay, it's a slave's business."

Yueya smiled, then began to doze off with her head with one hand.

When the car passed by the post station, Master Yang stopped the carriage and called, "Miss Yueya, the post station has arrived." ”

Yueya woke up suddenly, and saw that the old lady and Mama Jin were sleeping very deeply against each other and did not disturb, so she got out of the carriage directly and told Master Yang to wait and ask him not to wake up the old lady Xiao.

Yueya went to the restaurant not far from the post station, the restaurant is called Mengyue Building, and it is also a good three-story wooden building in the sparsely populated official road, although it is not magnificent, but it is not bad.

Most of the people who stayed and ate in the restaurant were passers-by or people from official families, and there were also soldiers who escorted prisoners.

Yueya actually didn't understand why Xiao Jingshen, who had never been far away, would know the proprietress of this restaurant, but it was actually his business, she wouldn't care, after all, everyone had their own secrets, and she didn't want to snoop easily.

She walked forward, and then stepped directly into the restaurant, there was only one table of people eating in the restaurant, a small servant greeting guests, and a black-clothed beauty with an abacus at the counter.

Black tight-fitting embroidered skirt, hair combed together hanging down on the right chest, behind her head is a small oil-paper umbrella hairpin, the corners of her mouth are smiling and amorous, and she said to Yueya without raising her head: "The girl is staying in a hotel or eating." ”

Yueya walked over with a smile, "Hello! Are you a dream aunt? ”

Meng Gu raised her head with a smile on her face, and the two pear vortices bloomed with a charming look, "You are?" ”

"I'm doing things for people, and the second master of the Xiao family asked me to bring you a letter."

At the mention of Xiao Depth of Field, Meng Gu was obviously a little excited, and there was a hint of red crawling on her fair face, "Who are you from Depth of Field?" ”

"I'm his sister-in-law, but not anymore."

Meng Gu looked at her carefully, from head to toe, and then smiled: "It turns out that you are his sister-in-law, no wonder ......"

Yueya blinked, a little unincomprehensible to her eyes.

After a long time, Meng Gu sighed: "Is he okay?" ”

"Very good, don't worry!"

Yueya actually saw Menggu's thoughts, her eyes were too big, and all her feelings were filled with those affectionate eyes, sending a signal to her that this woman likes Xiao Depth.

A good woman, beautiful and generous, acting steadily, and very capable, and the depth of field really matches.

Afraid that the old lady would be in a hurry, Yueya smiled, "Boss Meng, there are still people waiting for me, so I'll leave first." ”

"Wait a minute."

Meng Gu strode into the kitchen, then wrapped two large bags of things in yellow oiled paper and handed them to Yueya.

"This is what your second master likes to eat, I took two packs, one pack was tasted by the girl, and the other pack was asked to help the girl transfer it to Jingshen, Aunt Meng is grateful here."

Yueya doesn't need to look at it to know what this is, pear cake, that kind of pear fragrance is very authentic, she was fortunate to eat it once, and it was also brought to her by the second master, but she never thought it was from here.

"You're welcome, thank you Aunt Meng, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate."

"Okay, go slowly."

Meng Gu watched her leave, and her eyes began to dim again, it turned out that this was the secret he kept in the bottom of his heart.

Very beautiful, very gentle and kind girl.

She couldn't wait to open the envelope and look.

Yueya glanced back when she left, her thoughts were complicated, but she was also happy for Xiao Jingshen, with such a confidante, it would not be too difficult for him in the future, this woman was full of him.

She is willing to bring them together if she can.

After getting into the carriage, Old Madam Xiao had already woken up, looking at the things in her hand and couldn't help but say, "Yueya, where have you been?" ”

"Grandmother, I heard that there is a restaurant here that makes pear cakes that are delicious, so I went and bought two servings back, one for Yi'er to taste, and one for grandmother."

As she spoke, she handed over a pear cake, and Mama Jin took it and slowly opened it and handed it to the old lady.

"Woo~ Very authentic pear fragrance, not sweet or greasy, really delicious."

"Yueya, you are so caring, I know that the old lady likes to eat this."

Yueya smiled: "It's good if grandmother likes it." ”

Because I went to the restaurant, it took three hours to go to the neighboring county, it was dinner time, Yueya didn't want to go to Tao's house, and was just in time for dinner, so he proposed to find a better restaurant outside to live and have a meal by the way.

After eating, it was about the time when he arrived at the door of Tao County Ling's house, and the sky was still slightly bright at this time, and the little girl informed the capital Xiao family to visit, and Tao County Ling took his wife out to greet him personally.

After all, the uncle of the Xiao family once saved his baby daughter, and they are naturally grateful, plus Mrs. Xiao is Mrs. Fate, and her identity is there, so he can't have any shelf in a small county order.

When Miss Tao heard that the Xiao family was visiting, she also watched secretly and did not show up, but she was also secretly excited.

Tao Xianling said with a smile: "Old lady Xiao has come from afar, come in quickly." ”

"Come on, serve tea."

Old Madam Xiao smiled, and then Yueya helped her in, and by the way, she talked to Mrs. Tao without saying a word.

When they came to the living room, the maids served tea and prepared snacks, and seeing that the time was ripe, Mrs. Xiao looked at Yueya.

Yueya nodded, then took a sip of tea, and waited for the old lady to speak.

"Tao County Order, I'm here today to talk about something."

Mrs. Tao smiled, "The old lady will say it bluntly if she has something, my man is straight, and he doesn't like these roundabouts." ”

"Okay, I don't like this either, so I'll just say it bluntly, I came today to ask for my uncle Xiao Jingyan."

As soon as he said this, the room was silent, and even Tao Yueru, who was separated by the screen, was nervous.

She waited for this day for half a year, thinking that it would be impossible for her to have anything to do with Xiao Jingyan in this life, but she didn't expect the Xiao family to come to the door to ask for marriage.

Who to marry?

She is still the second sister.

She was already too nervous to help herself.

Mrs. Tao said, "Who are you asking to marry?" ”

"Naturally, it's your eldest lady Tao Yueru."

Before Mrs. Tao could speak, Tao County Ling had already spoken, "Old Mrs. Xiao, I respect you, and I have heard about your achievements on the battlefield when you were young, and I regard you and General Xiao as my role model, your generation of the Xiao family is really good for the country and the people, but this Xiao Jingyan makes us have to think about it?" ”

"Yes, Mrs. Xiao, a few days ago we heard that Xiao Jingyan was divorced by her wife with seven sins, and she also brought the outer room into the house, and the children are all there, we really don't dare to take Yueru's life as a bet on such a man, and I hope the old lady will go back!"
