Chapter 167: It's really time to propose
Tomorrow, we will know whether what Xiao Luoyi said is true.
If someone really comes to the door to propose, it proves that Xiao Luoyi can pinch and calculate, and has real skills.
If no one comes to the door tomorrow to propose marriage, then Chen Huaijin and Xiao Niangzi are just ordinary life-saving benefactors for their daughters, just politely prepare generous gifts and send people away.
As for the side, don't believe it too much.
The next day, Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin slept until three o'clock in the morning, and Master Meng and Mrs. Zhao had already asked someone to prepare breakfast, and when they saw them get up, they were immediately sent to the courtyard.
After breakfast, the two were led to yesterday's warm pavilion, mainly to ask about their plans.
Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin found that the food and folk customs in various places are different, and it is the first time they have come to Guizhou Mansion, so they naturally want to see it.
I just rest for a day today and continue to set off tomorrow.
So the two decided to go out for a while.
Master Meng asked someone to send five hundred taels of silver to Chen Huaijin and Xiao Luoyi to buy what they liked when they went shopping, and also led the way to the family who often walked outside the house.
The family's name is Meng Cheng, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, who accompanied Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin out of the house to go shopping, and went straight to the delicious and fun street.
The rice noodles in Guizhou Mansion are particularly fragrant, and you can smell the fragrance when you stand outside, and Meng Cheng enthusiastically introduced: "This rice noodles are put in brine, and they are also served with pot roast, capers, and chili oil...... Delicious! ”
Xiao Luoyi made him greedy, and couldn't help but look at Chen Huaijin: "I want a bowl, I'll taste two bites, and you can eat the rest?" ”
Chen Huaijin naturally agreed, so the two of them entered a rice noodle shop and asked for a bowl of rice noodles.
Not to mention, the dry mix tastes great!
Xiao Luoyi winked at Chen Huaijin: It's delicious! I like it! Buy some and put them in the space.
Chen Huaijin understood, and instructed Meng Cheng: "I smell the fragrance of osmanthus wafting over next door, what is that?" ”
Meng Cheng is very sincere: "That is osmanthus cake, and it is also a specialty of Guizhou Mansion." ”
"Can you bother to buy some and come back?"
Meng Cheng went, Xiao Luoyi immediately asked the owner of the rice noodle shop to make ten bowls of rice noodles and send them over, and then put them into the space under the cover of Chen Huaijin.
By the time Meng Cheng brought a bunch of snacks such as osmanthus cake, mung bean cake, and chestnut cake, Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin had already packed up.
There are many people wearing national costumes on the streets of Guizhou, and the huge silver ornaments are on the girl's head, which is exaggerated and beautiful, and Xiao Luoyi can't take his eyes off it.
Meng Cheng explained again: "This is the girls of the Zhuang nationality, and that is the girl of the Miao nationality......"
Zhuang Dong Miao Yao, the costumes of various ethnic minorities are different from those performance costumes that Xiao Luoyi saw in the past, but they are even more quaint.
Chen Huaijin was generous, so he simply bought her a set and let her wear it for a good time.
When he was tired of shopping, Meng Cheng led him to eat beer fish and Lipu taro button meat in a restaurant near the river......
Xiao Luoyi has finally got the right number so far: this is not Guilin of that era!
Look at the typical karst landform, which is like a bonsai landscape......
The real hammer is Guilin, that's right.
When you're tired of eating and drinking, go home.
When they arrived outside the door of Mengfu, Chen Huaijin and his wife immediately noticed that something was wrong: there were many gift boxes outside the door, one after another.
Xiao Luoyi subconsciously turned his head to look at Meng Cheng, and Meng Cheng was also frightened.
He got a notice from his lord this morning, saying that there might be something at home today, and asked him not to talk nonsense with Chen Huaijin and his wife outside.
He really didn't say anything, who knew that when he came back, something would really happen?
Is this a posture of proposing?
Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin glanced at each other, quietly opened the door, and went back to their yard: she doesn't get involved in the housework of the Meng family, and she will leave early tomorrow morning.
But obviously, Master Meng didn't plan to let her be alone, so he called someone to invite Xiao Luoyi after a while.
When Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin went to the warm pavilion, Master Meng and Mrs. Zhao were already there, their formal clothes had not been changed yet, and they had a serious look, making Xiao Luoyi's gossip soul burning!
What happened?
Say it, say it!
Master Meng said in a deep voice.
It turned out that someone did come to propose marriage to Meng Xing'er today, it was Ding Baolin, the second son of Ding Wuxun, the same governor of Guizhou Mansion.
If you only talk about the right family, this family business can be regarded as a high climb.
But the problem is that this Ding Gongzi is a well-known gentleman in Guizhou Mansion!
Cockfighting, lackeys, hook fences, and tile houses, he is a frequent visitor!
Eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling, fighting, and brawls, he is the leader.
has been messing around with some bastards all year round, and he is indispensable for trouble.
He is motivated to read, but he has never been there!
When he was a child, Ding Tongzhi saw that his son was spoiled too much and wanted to discipline him, but his wife at home protected him, and as soon as he raised the whip, his wife pounced on him and shouted, "Let's kill me together."
If Ding Tongzhi avoids his wife and beats him, his wife will trouble him for half a month when he turns back!
It wasn't until Ding Tongzhi couldn't stand it anymore that he accepted two concubines and gave birth to two concubines, and he didn't care about this second son, that the lady panicked and didn't dare to stop him anymore.
But Ding Baolin was already twelve years old at that time, where could he get it back?
So this second son became the notorious son of Guizhou Mansion.
Master Meng frowned: "This Ding Gongzi is really not a good match, he has not married a wife in the family, he already has a three-room concubine, and one of them is still a lady who robbed others!" How can such a person be married? ”
Xiao Luoyi didn't persuade him to refuse, but asked very calmly: "If Master Meng refuses, that Ding Gongzi will be angry and angry, what will he do, and Master Meng can think of a way to deal with it?" ”
Meng Lixing is not worried about this!
"I haven't figured out how to deal with it yet."
"Master Meng wants to know, why did Ding Gongzi suddenly invite someone to come to the door to propose marriage?"
Master Meng and Mrs. Zhao glanced at each other: "What's so strange about this?" ”
Because of the fulfillment of Xiao Luoyi's assertion yesterday, they were confused for a while, and they didn't expect to go in this regard.
Xiao Luoyi smiled: "You can call the second lady's personal maid and interrogate it, and you will naturally know." ”
Master Meng immediately got up and called someone to call Meng Xing'er's personal maid Green Cloud.
Green Cloud's mouth is not hard, two whips of the family method, plus a meal of intimidation, three or two strokes to recruit a clean.
It was Meng Xing'er who wanted to use Ding Baolin to ruin Meng Zhangzhu's reputation and take the initiative to seduce Ding Baolin!
Some of Ding Baolin's men recognized the two sturdy robbers, so they privately gave the two robbers the travel route and approximate time of the blindfolded beads......
Later, the Palm Bead disappeared.
Meng Xing'er thought that Meng Zhangzhu would never come back in this life, who would have thought that Mengzhangzhu would come back!
Meng Xing'er quietly went to Ding Baolin yesterday and asked Ding Baolin's people to check the whereabouts of the two robbers, and wanted the robbers to identify Meng Zhangzhu as his wife and give birth to children for him.
Ding Baolin sent someone to find him, but on the other hand, he threatened Meng Xing'er and told Meng Xing'er to marry him, otherwise he would shake out all the ugly things Meng Xing'er had done.
Meng Xing'er had no choice but to let Ding Baolin come to propose today.
