Chapter 468
The Yuan family got the news, so they asked the three girls to follow Xie Sanniang to Zhang Luoan's tablecloth and dishes. After Xie Sanniang arranged everything properly, she stood under the eaves of the porch and wiped her sweat with a handkerchief. Brother and a strange man came over.
The young man was in his early twenties, wearing a straight blue cloth gown, his face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were deep, and there was a touch of calmness and wisdom hidden deep in the heart. The eyes of the two wanted to touch each other in mid-air. Xie Sanniang looked deeply After glancing at him, he walked away indifferently, and ordered the maids to start serving dishes.
Although it was just a short glance, Lu Qiling was very satisfied. Xie Sanniang had the calmness and calmness of a noble girl from a family. Even if she suddenly met a strange man, who might be her blind date, she could still hold her breath. The demeanor of the principal was also extremely extraordinary, Lu Qiling and Xie Yuanbai looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Xie Yuanbai knew it in his mind, he called the servant and gave him instructions in a low voice, the servant's eyes lit up, and after getting the order, he jumped up and ran away.
Soon, Yuan's side also got the news, knowing that Lu Qiling agreed, she couldn't help being very happy. She wanted to call Xie Sanniang aside several times to ask about the situation, but she never got the chance.
After finally finishing the meal, Xie Yuanbai invited Lu Qiling to drink tea in the front yard. Yuan Shi handed over the tidying up to Hai Shi. She sent Xie Sanniang back to the yard under the pretense. On the way, she couldn't help asking, "Third sister, How do you feel?"
Xie Sanniang's face turned red in the darkness, she lowered her head and twisted her handkerchief, without saying a word, Yuan Shi didn't know what she was thinking, and said in a panic, "Third sister, if you don't agree, no one will force it, this In the capital, there are quite a few outstanding children, when the weather is cooler, there will be more banquets in the capital, I..."
Before Yuan's words were finished, Xie Sanniang said, "Sister-in-law, my affairs are all up to my uncle and elder brother and sister-in-law!"
When Yuan Shi heard it, she understood, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She smiled and said, "In the past, when I was in my mother's house, my mother asked me if I would marry your elder brother as a sequel. Yes, it’s just hard to say, oops, after so many years, I’ve forgotten about it!”
How could Xie Sanniang be dissatisfied with Lu Qiling? In her early twenties, she is a member of the third rank. During the past few months in the capital, she has been listening to the little maids at home talking about how outstanding the eldest son of the Lu family is. How about it?
Xie Sanniang herself once thought that family status is important, but the Lu family's family status used to be so high and unattainable. Now that it has fallen, the world will look down on others and be so snobbish.
She had never noticed that Lu Qiling was so handsome and handsome. When he walked towards her, the morning glow all over the sky was reflected on him, and his whole body was shining brightly.
Xie Sanniang was really ashamed, and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to see me off, I will go back by myself, I am afraid that the fourth sister-in-law will not be able to handle it alone, you should go back and host it, the work is done, so I can rest earlier."
When Yuan said she would send her off, she just wanted to ask her what she thought, but now that she has asked, if she says no, then don't!
After a while, at the front yard, Mrs. Yuan handed over the news of Xie Sanniang's promise. Xie Yuanbai hurriedly stood up, and said to Lu Qiling, "Congratulations, cousin!"
Xie Tiao was also very happy, and laughed loudly, "One day today, I have two things on my mind, Qi Ling, I am worthy of your dead aunt."
Lu Qiling hurriedly got up and bowed to Xie Tiao, "Nephew, thank you uncle! Tomorrow, nephew will ask a matchmaker to come to propose marriage!"
"Okay, okay, you're not too young, and Sanniang is not too young, since this marriage is settled, the sooner it's done, the better."
When Lu Qiling was in the apricot list back then, the emperor heard that he was the last child of the Lu family. He was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe. The emperor didn't know whether he felt guilty or wanted to silence everyone, and gave the Lu family the house in the capital. They were returned to the Lu family, in Chunmingfang, all in the inner city, not too far from Xiaotianshuijing Street.
The house of Lu's family was very dilapidated after all those years. Lu Qiling relied on his little salary, so of course he couldn't spend any money to repair it. He was a widow and lived in the yamen all these years.
If you get married, the house will naturally become the first priority.
I heard that Prince Xiang's mansion is under construction, and the southeast part reserved for Xiao Xun, including Ninghui Hall, Zelan Courtyard and Qiyun Garden, will be refurbished together. The commotion is so great that even the Empress Dowager is alarmed. The empress dowager specially allocated money to King Xiang to repair Xiao Xun's new house.
Xie Tiao thought for a while and asked, "What do you plan to do with the house in Chunmingfang? If you live in it, how much money will it cost to repair the house, uncle will pay for it."
Lu Qiling said, "Uncle, that house is too big, and the Lu family is no longer the Lu family it used to be. My nephew is at the intersection of Xiaozhifang Street, in front of the Zhuangyuan Building, and there is another house with four entrances. My nephew wants to repair it. , put the new house here, and only wronged Sanniang."
When Xie Sanniang heard this, she was silent for a while, "What's the matter, it doesn't matter where you live, and the girl from the Xie family doesn't only enjoy the blessings, but not the hardships."
From this day on, Xie Sanniang began to count the dowry. She sent her confidant nanny back to her hometown, discussed with the second bedroom, and brought the dowry over cart by cart. Under the banner of Xie's family, the journey was safe, and they pulled more than a hundred carts.
After Yuan Shi saw it, she became a little anxious, and Nanny Hetian began to confront Xie Zhiwei's dowry list.
Early in the morning, Xie Zhiwei directed Du Yuan and Du Jun to the peach blossom forest in the back garden, and dug in the middle of two century-old peach blossom trees.
"Easy, there is a jar of peach blossom wine inside. Let me tell you, if you dig it up, I will go and tell Mr. Lu that it's not that I don't pay him the peach blossom wine, but that you two broke it."
Du Yuan was frightened when she heard that, she stopped the hoe, and stammered, "Gu, girl, do you want, or should we plan with our hands?"
Xie Zhi smiled, "As for it? I just remind you a few words."
The wine jar came out, and there was still mud on it, weighing about ten catties.
Four stout women sent the wine jars to Qizhaoyuan. Xie Zhiwei patted the mud seal away, and a strong fragrance immediately spread over the entire Qizhaoyuan, and gradually dispersed, even in the front yard. Chi Yude, who Xie Tiao was talking about, could smell it. He sniffed and asked, "Is your mansion making wine? What kind of wine is this? Why is it so fragrant?"
As Chi Yude said, he slobbered, licked his face and smiled, "I originally promised my old wife to go back for lunch, but I didn't expect that people don't keep wine!"
