Chapter 253 Marriage Proposal

Chapter 253 Marriage Proposal

Tofu Xishi said halfway, paused, raised her eyes, looked up and looked at He Xiaowu up and down, and continued, "The next door sold 300 bags every month, and each bag was counted as seven million yuan in a small amount. I also heard that when those girls got married, they would use such cages and hundreds of them to prepare dowry.

Nowadays, the customs of Haizhou, there are sixteen dowry units for ordinary households. You can calculate how much the sixteen cages are worth, and the boxes are empty. Just because of the money of this box is not old or young, can your family bring out a comparable betrothal gift?”

He Xiaowu rubbed his feet against the ground again, and retorted dissatisfiedly: "Who are Lu Yun, Qu Xin and Li Shi? They are just three apprentices who were kicked out of the house and set up their own families. What wealth do they have? Why can't they marry me? I, He Xiaowu?"

"Tsk, Lu Da three people, because their ancestors burned a good incense and became a good master. You don't have that wealth, but you have to have the luck. They can get to the girls all day long and make those little ladies like them. Even if they are penniless, this marriage will be accomplished. You can see you-

Although Lu Da and the other three left the house in vain, they were strong and willing to endure hardships. They learned the skills of masters. They now make a lot of money. They finally looked like a man. But look at you, they were born to be a man who walked around the streets and shrank, and they never looked like a husband. When they raised their heads, they always lowered their heads when they talked to others. Which girl would like to you?"

The singing outside the door paused, and Tofu Xishi sighed: "Xiaowu, go back, Lu Da and the three of them were lucky. The girls got along when they were in trouble. Now those girls are learning more and more, and their eyesight prices are rising. Even Lu Da and the three of them are coming over now, and those girls may choose them.

He Xiaowu twisted his body and stood there and refused to leave: "Li Sanniang, do you say that my mother came to ask about the matchmaker? Will Dalang beating the matchmaker out?"

Tofu Xishi shook her head: "Don't ask me, I can't guess Dalang's temper. I guess those girls have been with Dalang for a long time and gradually took Dalang as an example. If you are as good as Dalang, you can make money by literature and martial arts, you may still be a little confused, but now, you may be a bamboo basket to get water."

He Xiaowu's soles kept rubbing on the ground, and his face blushed: "I think Miss Mo Shao is pretty good. Dalang has just come back. My mother said that after Dalang was busy for a while, he would come to the door to mention the matchmaker. Li Sanniang, can you help me explore Dalang's words?"

Li Sanniang shook her head: "Mo Shao, hey... I'll just ask you, come here tomorrow to listen to the reply, but I think..."

The next day, He Xiaowu came to listen as promised. At this time, Tofu Xishi had closed the store. He Xiaowu knocked on the door. When Tofu Xishi saw him, he immediately sighed: "Xiaowu, don't think about it. Miss Mo Shao refused, saying that she was young and had to look for her parents. She would not consider the issue of marriage within two or three years."

He Xiaowu leaned against the door, rubbing his soles on the ground, and he mustered up the courage to ask: "Mo Shao... Is Miss Mo Shao at home? I want her to answer me in person."

Tofu Xishi shook her head: "You are neighbors, but they are not easy to understand and refuse. This is already very polite. Why don't you understand? As for the face of Miss Mo Shao, it's too late. Miss Mo Shao followed Shi Dalang to the countryside in the afternoon, saying that she would be back after finishing the spring plowing."

He Xiaowu looked disappointed: "That means, it will take two months to come back... It seems that Cui Zhuang is not far from the city?"

Tofu Xishi stomped her feet helplessly: "Let me tell you the truth. There is a butler Mushun on the other end of Cuizhuang, and there is also Miss Cui there. There is no need for Miss Mo Shao to follow him. It was Miss Mo Shao who wanted to go by himself. Do you understand? They obviously want to avoid you."

He Xiaowu felt that the sky was about to collapse. He leaned against the door and was weak all over. He could only see Tofu Xishi's mouth open one by one, but he could not hear any sound. After a long time, he gradually regained his hearing. Tofu Xishi urged: "... Go back, almost all the girls in the yard have left, and even Huang E has gone. The shop and the others handed over to the shopkeeper introduced by Liu Yayi. From now on, the girls will no longer show up in business. The business in the shop will be taken care of by the hired shopkeeper. Even if you go to the shop in the future, you will not see them.

Xiaowu, forget them. They are swans flying from the sky. They accidentally fell into the mud pond and eventually they would fly to the clouds. They are not the same type of people as you."

He Xiaowu's eyes gradually turned red, and he clenched his fists tightly: "Why?"

Tofu Xishi's face changed and she covered the door with a bang. He Xiaowu looked blankly at the door, his mind was empty and there was nothing.

It was getting dark and the noise of the night market surged up. He Xiaowu gradually came to his senses. He clenched his fists and wandered around in a daze. It was not until the crying sounded in his ears that he remembered to look up at the road.

The person who called him was a former guest. This guest was engaged in the career of helping the idle, and used to take care of He Xiaowu's business. He became familiar with him after a while. A man dressed in a state dress was standing beside him. When he saw He Xiaowu, the group of people whispered to the a state, probably introducing He Xiaowu's background.

He Xiaowu mechanically sang a promise and saluted him, and introduced him: "This official is a juren, with his surname Fang, and lives with Shi Chengxin in Cuizhuang. I heard that you lived next door to the house in Shi Chengxin. You are familiar with everyone. Xiaowu, why didn't you sell food today? Why did you look so distracted?"

He Xiaowu was full of grievances, complaints, reluctance and loss. Someone raised his head. He didn't care that he was on the street and grabbed the idle hand and started to talk.

After explaining the cause and effect of the matter, He Xiaowu wanted to cry: "Why? I saw them when they came. They were just a group of girls who were almost trafficked. They looked embarrassed and didn't even have a place to live. It was the government that made them have a tiles on their heads. Such a group of girls have a bad reputation. Why don't they marry me if I am a innocent good man?

Why, it would be fine if they really don’t marry. The three of Lu Da left the house with nothing but poor two shoulders carrying a mouth. My family is a family of signing vegetables, a clean and innocent good man, and a girl with a bad reputation like them, why should they look down on my family?"

Fang Yuanwai spoke, his voice was very low, full of rough wind and rain: "That's right, these girls were just lucky. When they met, Chengxin woke up and were lucky to be rescued. If things happened, these girls were only worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. They bought them for everyone to trample on them. They also wanted to please act like a good person. Now, Humph, they are actually noble. What's the point?"

"That's right," He Xiaowu's heartstring seemed to find resonance: "It was originally sold, but now I use Zhang as Qiao, and I look down on people. Humph, I still look down on them."

Fang Juren looked at the Bang Yi, and Bang Yi nodded quickly, turned around and instructed He Xiaowu: "Brother Xiaowu, the last time the official waiter ate your roast duck, and found it very delicious, so he searched all over the city. It seemed that it was dinner time, go and bring two roast ducks. The official waiter ate well, maybe you would also like to give you a glass of water and wine, so that you can also sit with you and chat about the scenery of Haizhou. Don't worry, it won't delay your business, the official waiter will give you special rewards."

In the evening, Shi Chuan and his group arrived at Cuizhuang and got off the carriage. The butler Mu Shun led the trainers to come up. The trainers shouted to the coach in unison. After they came forward one by one, Mu Shun came forward and said quietly: "Boss, the cargo on the ship has been unloaded by only one tenth. I guess it will take four or five days to unload it."

After saying this, Mu Shun took a short step back and continued, "I heard that the boss has returned, Miss Cui insisted on holding a banquet, but I didn't force me. Is the boss looking at it? Do you plan to go to the construction site first, or go to have a meal first?"

Shi Chuan looked up at the sky: "It's time, what construction site to go to? Since Miss Cui's place is ready, you won't have any trouble. Come, girls, go to Cuiyuan for dinner together."

In Cuiyuan, Miss Cui Xiaoqing and two or three girls left in the village were greeted by the door. When Miss Cui saw it, she greeted warmly: "Da Lang is lucky. You are so sad. You are so lucky to be in the wind and snow. Not only are you lucky to be sad all the way, but you also care about me specifically. It's really...

Dalang, I have received the gifts you brought. I really like it... Come and see uncle."

Miss Cui sideways, revealing a thin and timid little boy about three years old and thin. She held the little boy's hand and recommended to Shi Chuan: "This is Xuan'er, originally the youngest son in my clan. After Dalang left, my father heard about the Taohuaguan incident and knew that I left Taohuaguan and established a female household. He was worried that I would not have any incense in the future, so he specially selected this little boy from the clan to adopt me. Hehe, and was also guarding against the end of my industry and the wind."

Cui Xiaoqing talked about this matter indifferently, but Shi Chuan knew that when it comes to disputes over property, they always had disputes. However, since the matter has changed, Cui Xiaoqing was unwilling to explain in detail, Shi Chuan let go of his hand. He took out a short knife from his arms and stuffed it into the little boy's hand, saying, "It's in a hurry, I didn't bring any gifts, just make do with it."

Cui Xiaoqing looked at Shiteng with a reproachful look, his eyes slightly darkened: "I gave the children, but I gave them pen, ink, paper and inkstones. Who gave me a knife?"

Shi Chuan didn't care. He walked into the door, and there were two girls standing by the door: Zheng Ruixin and Zheng Ruiqiu lent Chu Suzhen a carriage and horses during the Haizhou turmoil. By the way, he also hid in Cuizhuang for a while, the daughter of the little landlord.

Cui Xiaoqing hurriedly explained: "These two girls are idle now and they are busy with spring farming at home. So they asked these girls to come and live there for a few days, and by the way, they learned from me the girl Hong and the housekeeper."

Shi Chuan turned around and told the housekeeper: "Let's go back and choose two pieces of brocade I bought in the capital and give them to the two girls as gifts."

The butler Mu Shun agreed that it was difficult for other groups to follow up, so he had to stand at the door and bow to Shi Chuan to say goodbye. When Shi Chuan walked towards the door, he suddenly felt a stinging pain in his back. He turned around and looked around, and saw that it was a group of groups who said goodbye.
