Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11816

Changping Village, Wanghai County.

Double happiness arrived! Not long after Xiuxiu and Wang Xiaofan got engaged, people suddenly came from Huguang County. Zuo Junmo, along with his family steward and two respected village elders from Zuojia Village who were also related to Old Madam Zuo, came to the Luo family in Changping Village.

Not only did the people come, but they also brought gifts that filled six carriages.

These gifts not only cover clothing, food, housing, and transportation, but also include various weapons that dancers like.

"Brother Zuo, you came empty-handed? Why make such a big fuss?"

Yang Ruoqing was completely bewildered. She thought to herself that none of the elders in her family had celebrated a major birthday recently, and Dazhi's side still needed to wait for the good news to come back from the capital before the family could hold a celebratory banquet.

Moreover, even if it's a wedding banquet, they would definitely send invitations to Zuojiazhuang and invite them to the feast.

In addition, Zuo Jinling from the Zuo family went to the capital to take the imperial examination with Dazhi, and the Zuo family will definitely have good news to share, and they will hold a banquet.

Therefore, Yang Ruoqing was puzzled. She didn't understand why Zuo Junmo chose this time, brought so many things, and even brought two respected village elders with him, making it seem very formal and serious.
Could it be...?
Sure enough, Zuo Junmo didn't beat around the bush. He cupped his hands to Yang Ruoqing and the blacksmith Luo, and said with a smile but with great respect, "To be honest, I came here today for the sake of my children."

"The Luo family's daughter is dignified and skillful, talented and beautiful, and exceptional in both literature and martial arts. She is a rare and outstanding woman! I, Zuo, dare to ask for your daughter's hand in marriage on behalf of my son!"

After saying these somewhat literary words, Zuo Junmo clasped his hands together and bowed deeply.

Oh my god, when Yang Ruoqing heard this, she really thought she was hallucinating, and she was so happy that she almost laughed out loud.

However, on the surface, they still had to maintain the proper demeanor for a formal occasion, after all, Zuo Junmo had brought the village elders to witness the event. Luo the blacksmith and Wang Cuilian were also pleasantly surprised, and they quickly invited Zuo Junmo and the others into the main room to sit down.

They even sent Ping An to the neighboring courtyard to invite Yang Huazhong and Madam Sun over so that everyone could discuss the matter together.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Yang Ruoqing said to Zuo Junmo, "Brother Zuo, the waterwheel you built for my family last time has a problem. Could you come and take a look at it?"

Zuo Junmo immediately understood that looking at the waterwheel was a pretense; Yang Ruoqing had something to say to him privately.

The two arrived at the courtyard corridor behind the main hall, and Yang Ruoqing asked Zuo Junmo directly, "Brother Zuo, why did you suddenly come to propose marriage?"

"What's wrong, Qing'er? Are you worried about marrying your daughter into our family?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. Of course I'm relieved! I'm just worried that if things aren't ready yet, my daughter won't be happy, and you'll all be disappointed!"

Zuo Junmo smiled and said to Yang Ruoqing, "Qing'er, don't worry about that. Jinling wrote me an urgent letter asking me to come and propose marriage."

"Jinling told me in his letter that he had already spoken with Wuyou beforehand, and Wuyou had given his approval!"

"Oh? Is that how it is? I had no idea. Seriously, my daughter is siding with outsiders!"

Yang Ruoqing was both angry and amused. Right under her nose, her daughter hadn't told her, her mother, about her little secret. She had already made a promise to Jinling, which is why the Zuo family had come to propose marriage.

Oh dear, this is really... a very complicated feeling!
