Literati Sanctification

Chapter 216

It wasn't until the two of them walked away that Heng Xiulin looked away, and then told Xiaoyu who was beside him, "Prepare a betrothal gift and go to propose marriage tomorrow."

When Xiaoyu heard the words, she immediately responded crisply, then looked at her young master, and said with a smile on her face, "Young master, I thought you were going to refuse, but I didn't expect that you actually agreed."

The appearance of Heng Xiulin just now, not only Hongyuanhua, but Xiaoyu himself was coaxed, thinking that Heng Xiulin was unwilling to agree to this matter, but unexpectedly, Heng Xiulin actually agreed. Fortunately, she felt sorry for Hong Ningmeng just now.

It's just that this matter is her son's lifelong event after all, so even if she likes Hong Ningmeng, she doesn't speak up to persuade her son, she knows that there are some things that she can't manage.

Heng Xiulin glanced at her and said nothing. When Hong Yuanhua proposed the marriage, Heng Xiulin himself thought about it carefully. In the end, he still decided to agree.

Because for Hong Ningmeng, Heng Xiulin himself still has some good feelings, and Hong Ningmeng is also quite knowledgeable and reasonable. If Xiang such a woman is missed, I'm afraid I won't be able to meet her in the future.

Moreover, if Hongyuanhua was rejected, after returning home, probably his parents would arrange a marriage for him directly. At this time, it would be impossible for Heng Xiulin to refuse even if he wanted to.

So, if this is the case, why didn't Heng Yanlin choose one now, the one he likes and is already familiar with, so Heng Xiulin at that time, after a little thought, decided to agree.

"Don't you think it's strange that the young master agreed to this matter?"

Seeing that Xiaoyu was still looking at him curiously, Heng Xiulin immediately rolled his eyes and said.

"Hey, looking at the young master's appearance before, I thought that I was not interested in those girls. I kept thinking that the young master would like such a girl, and there is no girl. In the end, the young master will take it. No Thinking of it, in the end, she is still Meng girl."

Listening to Heng Xiulin's words, Xiaoyu suddenly smiled, and said with some joy that she naturally liked Hong Ningmeng quite a lot, so seeing her son now, after finally achieving good things with Hongningmeng, naturally Very happy.

Hearing the words, Heng Xiulin immediately looked at Xiaoyu speechlessly, saying that he was not interested in those women and what he was talking about. Shaking his head, he spoke.

"Go and prepare the dowry. Tomorrow I will come to propose marriage. Don't make it too shabby."

Heng Xiulin naturally didn't have any experience in this matter, so naturally he left it all to Xiaoyu. If he did it, it would probably be a mess.

"But son, right now there are only these things that the emperor bestows on you. The most valuable thing is the ten thousand taels of gold. With these things, it is not enough to make a suitable betrothal gift. The money from before was spent by you again." Finished."

Listening to Heng Xiulin's words, Xiaoyu said in distress, Hong Ningmeng's family is the servant of the Ministry of Industry, and her son is also the number one talented person, so the dowry is naturally to be high. Some would be nice.

But right now, the money is far from enough to meet the standard. After all, there are other things that need to be bought. Although the gold ten thousand taels is a lot, if you buy those things, it will be a little less.

Hearing this, Heng Xiulin also felt a bit of a headache after taking a look at the rewarded items. Naturally, they couldn't take them all out. You know, they are about to leave for Jingguo right now. If they don't keep Put down some silver taels, and then go to Jingguo, don't be penniless, and then you can't even afford food.

After thinking about it for a while, he said helplessly, "The ten thousand taels of gold, you leave one-tenth of it, and then use the rest to buy some betrothal gifts. Part of the money must be kept, or we will go to the scenic spot. country, must starve to death on the road.”

"As for the betrothal gift, if it's really simple, let's make it simple. I will write a poem and attach it to it later, my lord, which can be regarded as an added gift. The minister of the Ministry of Industry, after thinking about it, knows that my lord has spent all my family wealth, so Shouldn't have said anything."

Heng Xiulin was a little distressed, then he waved his hand and made up his mind, this is the only way to do it now, he has dissipated all the family's wealth, so he is very poor right now.

If you want to come to Hongyuanhua, you don’t know what to say. In addition, that Jiang Huang is too much. Anyway, I want to go to the competition for Jiang Guo. How can I say that I have to spend some of the expenses on the way? , but he didn't hear anything about it.

Thinking about it, with Jiang Huang's temperament, I have no money. I worked hard and took out all my old background to save countless people in Shuicheng that day, but Jiang Huang only rewarded such a little thing. The emperor is so buckled.

Listening to Heng Xiulin's words, Xiaoyu nodded obediently. Since her young master said so, she naturally had to arrange it like this. The things that were ready and put away just now, it seems, It's all unnecessary.

"After you prepare, take the gold, let the guards outside protect you, and go buy the dowry.

Heng Xiulin glanced at Xiaoyu, and then said again, there is a team of guards outside, dedicated to serve Heng Xiulin, as long as Heng Xiulin wants to enter the palace, these guards can send him to the palace very quickly .

It can be seen from this that the emperor really favored him very much, and specially sent such a team of guards to do this kind of thing.

"My lord, don't you go with Xiaoyu?"

Listening to Heng Xiulin's words, Xiaoyu suddenly said with some doubts.

"Young master needs to prepare some other things, so I can't accompany you. You take those guards with you, and pay attention to safety."

Heng Xiulin shook his head, then looked at Xiaoyu, gave an exhortation, and then spoke.

Xiaoyu nodded obediently when she heard the words. Since the young master has something to do, she naturally can't keep pestering her young master all the time. Moreover, if her young master goes out to do errands, she will be able to come back soon.

Hengxiu Lin Xiaoyu nodded in response, and entered the house, and after a while, came out with a sealed letter, and then took a few taels of gold, and went out.

Before going out, Heng Xiulin specifically explained to the guard that if Xiaoyu will go out later, she must be protected. The guards naturally obeyed Heng Xiulin's words, and immediately nodded, and then patted Holding his chest, he motioned to Heng Xiulin.

They will definitely complete the tasks that Heng Xiulin explained. Seeing this, Heng Xiulin left with peace of mind. Heng Xiulin first went to the post station and handed the letter to the staff there. The staff said that they would send the letter as soon as possible After it was delivered, Heng Xiulin left the station directly.

Then Heng Xiulin found a blacksmith's place, a place like a blacksmith's shop, but he didn't see a literati coming here all the year round. Now when he saw a literati coming here from Heng Xulin, the old craftsman ran out immediately, Then he greeted Heng Xiulin very respectfully.

"My lord, what do you want?"

The old blacksmith looked at Heng Xiulin, and asked slightly embarrassed, he had never seen a literati standing in front of him, and then spoke to him, so it was not surprising that he was a little nervous.

Heng Xiulin looked at the old blacksmith in front of him, smiled slightly, then waved his hands and said, "Don't be too nervous, old craftsman. I have some objects. I want to ask you to help build them. You can see if you can make them."

While talking, Heng Xiulin took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to the old blacksmith.

The old blacksmith gave the paper respectfully, and after looking at it a few times, his brows frowned slightly. As an old blacksmith, he had been forging iron for more than ten years, so he could tell at a glance that Heng Xiulin wanted to create It's just this thing, but he has never seen it before.

But it does not prevent him from knowing that this thing is extremely difficult to build.

"How, can it be built?"

Heng Xiulin looked at the old blacksmith in front of him and saw that his brows were frowning, so he immediately asked.

"Young master, dare to ask, what is the use of this thing?"

The old craftsman looked at Heng Xiulin, and suddenly asked cautiously, he had never seen this thing before, but seeing it now, he was curious as to what it was used for.

Heng Xiulin didn't hide anything when he heard the words, and said directly, "This is for mounting on the carriage. After installing these things, it can reduce some bumps."

Heng Xiulin said to the old blacksmith that he came here to build some shock-absorbing things, otherwise, he would have to sit on Heng Xiulin's buttocks if he traveled all the way to build that carriage.

"So that's it, this thing is really amazing!"

Hearing this, the old craftsman slapped his thigh immediately, and then said cheerfully, the more he looked at the paper, the happier he became, then he looked at Heng Xiulin, and then said.

"Young master, I think this thing can be built, but it can't fit in those carriages. Why don't I build the carriage together?"

This kind of parts came out of thin air. It is indeed impossible to install them on those carriages that were originally integrated. Now Heng Xiulin was overjoyed when he heard this, and then turned to the old blacksmith Nodding his head, he agreed.

"If that's the case, I'll trouble you. This is a deposit of ten taels of silver. Once it's done, I won't treat you badly in the future."

Heng Xiulin looked at the old blacksmith, encouraged him, and then took out a blueprint from his pocket. Originally, he wanted to go to a place where carriages were specially made, and let them build a carriage according to their own requirements. I am letting them install the parts they need.

But right now, it seems that it is unnecessary, so the old craftsman gave all the blueprints to the old craftsman. When the old craftsman finished the blueprints, he almost lost his eyes when he looked at the exquisite carriage at the bottom of the top.

Immediately, he patted his chest and said to Heng Xiulin that he will definitely help Heng Xiulin build the carriage. In addition, he also has very powerful craftsmen, so he invited them to make a shed for Heng Xiulin.

Hearing the words, Heng Xiulin was also full of joy, and told the old blacksmith that as long as the work was done well, both of them would be rewarded. After giving orders, Heng Xiulin left slowly, and the rest of the work, He doesn't need to worry about it, just wait for the carriage to be built.
