Yoshida Mii

Chapter 138
Liang Zi opened his mouth wide in surprise, stared at Dong Bao for a long time, and suddenly thought of who the "good wife" Dong Bao was talking about, Zhang Xiuyu's beautiful face rosy in white, her slim figure in an embroidered dress, and every time When he came to eat Douhua, Zhang Xiuyu enthusiastically and shyly called him "Brother Liang Zi"...

"Is it Xiuyu?" Liang Zi smiled silly, and Le's mouth couldn't close.

Dong Bao looked at Liang Zi smiling like an idiot in disgust, curled his lips, but fortunately Lin Shi never smirked like this, it's really ugly!

"Well, what do you think?" Seeing that Liang Zi had guessed it, Dong Bao simply admitted it.

Liang Zi just smirked. Zhang Xiuyu is beautiful and good-looking, better than the girls he said he had met before. The most important thing is that she is hardworking and sensible. Both the big and small Li are kind and good people. He is happy to have such a mother-in-law It's too late.

"Hello!" Dong Bao didn't get an answer for a long time, and stretched out his hand in front of Liang Zi, dumbfounded.

Liang Zi came back to his senses, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes, yes! I'm willing to wait a few more years!" He said it nicely, but in fact, the little calculation in his heart had already been calculated, Zhang Xiuyu twelve three When you are old, you can get married in two or three years at most, and it's not too long to wait.

Dong Bao also giggled, she has known Liang Zi for so long, she can still trust this man's character, Xiao Xu also said that Brother Liang Zi is very good, he is different from those old fritters who eat, drink and gamble. Master Yan valued it deeply.

Mr. Yan himself is a well-behaved person, and the person he values ​​will definitely not be a cunning person.

"Then you have to find someone to propose marriage." Dong Bao smiled, "Let's go, let's go back, the bean curd my mother gave you should be cold!"

Liang Zi followed Dong Bao with a smile, "I'm looking for Mrs. Yan to propose marriage. I'll go shopping in the afternoon, and Mrs. Yan and I will go to your house to propose marriage tomorrow afternoon!"

When Zhang Xiuyu came over with the burden, Liang Zi and Mr. Yan had already finished eating the bean curds and rice dumplings. Mr. Yan carried the rice dumplings to Xiao Xu who was studying in the school. Zhang Xiuyu, wearing a straw hat and a thin shirt with blue flowers on a red background, came over carrying a load after waiting for a while.

It was already very hot in May, and after walking such a long way, Zhang Xiuyu's fair face was covered with a thin layer of sweat, with a healthy blush, and she was indescribably beautiful.

Liang Zi glanced at Zhang Xiuyu, then turned his head with a blushing face.

And Zhang Xiuyu also saw Liang Zi, and Dong Bao smirked and winked next to him, and immediately understood everything, her fair face turned red in an instant, and she didn't care to talk to her mother, so she took Dong Bao to the academy .

"Have you told Brother Liang Zi?" Zhang Xiuyu asked anxiously, a little nervous, "What did he say?"

Dong Bao looked at Zhang Xiuyu with a smile, and didn't bother to play tricks on the appetite of the innocent little girl. He said directly: "He is very happy, and he laughed silly when he was happy. He said that he will invite Mr. Yan to come to our house to propose marriage tomorrow afternoon."

Zhang Xiuyu blushed and lowered her head, but she couldn't hide the excitement in her heart. She only felt that her hands and feet were trembling, and her heartbeat seemed to be out of her control.

"Why did you say it so fast? Tell me I'm not prepared at all." Zhang Xiuyu muttered, with bursts of joy mixed with a trace of bewilderment and reluctance.

"If it drags on, maybe he will get engaged to someone else!" Dong Bao laughed. After all, Zhang Xiuyu is still a girl in her teens, and when faced with major events in life, she inevitably hesitates and panics.

After the two talked for a while, the academy was over, and there was a long queue in front of the two of them, and they got busy.

Seeing Zhou Pingshan and Zhao Zihui among the people who came to buy food, Dong Bao couldn't help being stunned for a while, thinking that he didn't know what to say for a while.

Sure enough, the two of them didn't leave immediately after buying the food. After all the food buyers had left, Zhou Pingshan came over with a smile and asked, "Dong Bao, what I asked you about yesterday..." Zhou Pingshan thought The pointing glanced at Zhang Xiuyu.

Dong Bao made Zhang Xiuyu stand a little farther away, and whispered to Zhou Pingshan, "I told my sister, and my sister is not willing." In fact, she also understood why Zhang Xiuyu was unwilling. Compared with Liang Zi, this Zhao Zihui is just a see Strangers who have met several times have no idea what he is like.Besides, Zhao Zihui is a simple and honest scholar, of course he is not as mature and steady as Liang Zi can attract girls.

Zhou Pingshan was a little disappointed when he heard the words, and then he smiled and said, "That's fine, both parties must be willing to do this. Don't worry, I will try to persuade him when I go back."

Dong Bao nodded and said with a smile: "Then I will trouble you."

Zhou Pingshan waved his hand, went to pull Zhao Zihui and walked forward, the two of them didn't mutter a few words, Dong Bao saw Zhao Zihui's expression changed, he broke away from Zhou Pingshan's hand and wanted to walk towards them, but Zhou Pingshan chased him away After a few steps, he was stopped, and after a few words of persuasion, he pulled into the academy. Dong Bao saw Zhao Zihui and turned his head to look this way several times along the way, but it was a pity that Luo Hua wanted to be ruthless, but the little girl Zhang Xiuyu didn't even look at him. .

At this moment, the lame middle-aged man that Dong Bao had known before was wearing a half-worn blue cotton shirt and walked slowly over with a cane, holding a porcelain bowl in his hand, looking at both The man laughed and said, "Little girl, I'm here again, give me four Wen's worth of food!"

"Hey!" Dong Bao responded crisply. Originally, the four cents should only give two spoonfuls of vegetables. After Dong Bao filled two spoonfuls of vegetables, he added half a spoonful.

It wasn't that Dong Bao wanted to "follow up" the handyman at the beginning, but that she really liked the "handyman" couple from the bottom of her heart, and liked the vigorous and decent spirit that emanated from the two of them from the inside out.

"Hey!" The man smiled heartily, "How embarrassing this is!"

Dong Bao smiled and said, "Let Madam eat more!"

"Then I can thank the little girl for her!" the man laughed.

When the two were talking, Zhang Qian and Lin Shi walked out together. After seeing the middle-aged man in front of the stall, Lin Shi was fine. Zhang Qian was surprised, saluted the man seriously, and said: "I've seen Mrs. Qin."

"Okay, okay." The man waved his hands and said with a smile, "Don't pay so much attention to politeness outside."

Dong Bao was very surprised, she thought that this "handyman" who looked a little vicissitudes and even a bit down-and-out was actually the teacher in the academy!

However, no one can use their brains faster than Dongbao. Since they want to build relationships, wouldn't a genuine teacher be much better than a handyman!

"Uncle Master, these two are my elder brothers, you have to take good care of them in the future!" Dong Bao said with a smile.

Master Qin looked at Dong Bao and nodded with a smile, "Okay!" This little girl never thought that he was Master from the beginning, and seeing the unpredictable expression on that little face, he was amused.

After Master Qin left, Zhang Xiuyu also patted her chest, served Lin Shi and Zhang Qian with food, and said, "I didn't expect him to be Master!" Looking at that appearance, it is not very resembling.

Zhang Qian said with a smile: "It is said that it is the master, but in fact he does not teach, but often walks around the academy. I have seen him play chess with several mountain chiefs, so I know his surname is Qin."

People who can play chess with Shan Chang will definitely not be mediocre, but I don't know what their background is, and they are disabled, so I am afraid that they will not be able to take the exam for fame.

After eating, Lin Shi was a little reluctant to leave, seeing Dong Bao's gentle smile, and Dong Bao also looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Go back quickly!" It was Dong Bao who spoke first.

Lin Shi nodded reluctantly, but didn't know what to say. Coming to the academy was an opportunity he treasured, but the price was that he and Dongbao could no longer be together every day as before, although they could still have lunch together. When we meet again, it can't be the same as before.

"Then I'm going back, be careful on the way." Lin Shi smiled.

"Go back." Dong Bao waved his hands with a smile, sighed inwardly, and was very reluctant.After coming to ancient times for so long, it was the first time that I felt separated from Lin Shi.

In the afternoon, Zhang Xiuyu took a chance and blushed and told Li Hongqin about today's marriage proposal. Li Hongqin was surprised but also a little worried. After discussing with Mrs. Li carefully, I feel that Liang Zi has a good character, and he eats the emperor's food. There is no parents in the family, so he doesn't have to serve his in-laws.

Seeing how worried Auntie looked, Dongbao smiled and persuaded her: "Auntie, it's just an engagement anyway, and there is still a two-year observation period. If Brother Liang Zi is not good, we will kick him and find a better one for Sister Xiuyu." .”

Li Hongqin waved her hands with a smile, although she said so, but after getting engaged and then withdrawing, her reputation will be bad after all, so it must not be easy to find.

In the afternoon of the next day, Mr. Yan led Liang Zi and Xiao Xu to the door. The three of them came in a carriage, and they brought a dozen packages of gifts, big and small, including fabrics and pastries, as well as shopping for Zhang Qian. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone, it is said that this is not considered a formal wedding ceremony, but just a meeting ceremony.

Such a generous gift is already rare in the Zhuang family. The thicker the gift from the man, the more he values ​​the woman.

Many people in the village came to see the excitement, and they all inquired about what was going on. Liang Zi was tall and handsome, and he lived on the emperor's rations. What was rare was that he spoke and acted kindly. He seemed like a good son-in-law.For a moment, everyone looked at Li Hongqin with jealousy.

Aunt Qiuxia, Lin Fu, and the village head were all called in. Both parties knew each other well, and they agreed on their marriage without much effort. They discussed going to Zhangjia Village to make an engagement when the autumn harvest came. There is also a banquet to invite the people of Zhangjia Village to eat.

In the area of ​​Anzhou, there is a peculiar custom that the engagement banquet is more grand and formal than the marriage banquet. If the family is poor, there is no need to serve wine when they get married, but they can't be shabby when they get married.

The adults were discussing the marriage in the yard, while Dong Bao and Xiao Xu sat on the bed in the house with Zhang Xiuyu, looking at Zhang Xiuyu's pink and rosy face, Dong Bao felt very dazed for a while, and did not expect to marry a girl so quickly. His lifelong event has been decided.
