Chapter 88 Immortals come to propose marriage
The next day, 2:30 in the afternoon.
Chen Ji asked for leave from the company again, counted the gifts in the living room, and prepared to visit the little lady's house.
He went to buy several thousand yuan of cigarettes and alcohol last night, but considering that cigarettes might not have existed in ancient times, he removed them again.
Wine must be drunk.
At noon, I went to buy a few hundred pieces of fruit, and I went to the supermarket to buy a hundred pieces of snack biscuits, which were full of a lot of gifts, and I planned to give them all to Xia Shumin's family.
These are all gifts in return.
…
In the Sheriff's Mansion, there is an orchard in the backyard.
"Master Chen, are you ready to go down to earth?"
Wearing a pale pink skirt, Xia Shumin, sitting under the shadow of the mottled trees in the afternoon sun, looked especially delicate and delicate. She wrote a pen in her poem book and asked honestly.
The reason for the honesty is because her parents are at the side, and the maids who serve are only green bamboos and green bamboos. The five of them are sitting on tables and chairs in the orchard in the backyard of the mansion, preparing fruit, cakes and tea, waiting for Chen Xianren to come down to earth again.
Seeing her daughter's delicate handwriting slowly disappearing, Lu Rui felt a little restless, looked at her husband and asked:
"I don't know if this time the immortal will cause such a big commotion? If there is another one, I am afraid that those people in the city and those guys who are watching the mansion will all rush to the door."
Xia Yongcheng, who was wearing ordinary clothes, pondered for a moment and asked her: "Madam, do you have any news about your senior sister?"
The last time Li Yingqing was defeated by an immortal, she ran away and never appeared again.
"Perhaps she is with Master."
Lu Rui lowered her voice.
Today's Yongkang City is really a mixed bag, such as Chu Nantian, the leader of the Tiandao Society, Chao Shenjue from the six gates of the imperial court, Jia Youcai, who is known as the money-spreading master of the Jiajia Chamber of Commerce, Tong Ming, the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, and the eunuchs in the palace also came out. many people.
Several disciples of Buried Sword Peak have appeared in the city, including Wei Hong who came to ask for the book before, and Gongsun Sword God is likely to be among them.
In addition, all kinds of gangs and sects, good and evil, Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, from low-level thieves to masters, all gather here.
Let Yongkang City become a vortex in the river and sea. If one is not careful, the great master will fall into it.
A red-clothed chivalrous woman sword who became famous twenty years ago has long been married, and she really can't hold on to the scene.
It can't stop those people's enthusiasm for finding land gods.
Only her master, asking the owner of the fairy valley, can deter the heroes.
It's a pity that Lu Rui had already sent someone to hold her token, and hurried back to Wenxian Valley, but there was no response in the valley, probably no one was there.
"Don't worry, madam."
Xia Yongcheng held her hand, smiled at her and said, "As a husband and sheriff, those Jiang Hu people dare not come to peep. As for the imperial court, we have already handed in the book, and the Holy Majesty will not blame him even if he thinks about it."
"I hope so."
The two of them were talking, another line of words appeared in Xia Shumin's poetry book on the table:
"Ready, I'm going down now?"
The husband and wife looked at each other, even Xia Yongcheng couldn't help becoming nervous at this moment, wondering how the immortal would go down to earth.
The two twin maidservants were even more nervous and at a loss, with shortness of breath and pounding hearts.
Last time it was too sudden, this time they have to take a good look at how Mr. Chen walked out of the gate of heaven and went down to the mortal world to meet and date the young lady.
"The little girl invites the son."
After Xia Shumin finished writing, she turned to the first page of the poetry book, and touched the above line with her delicate fingertips:
【Invite Chen Ji to the appointment】
Lu Rui and Xia Yongcheng clearly saw the word "go to the appointment" in their eyes.
next moment.
A door made of dim light suddenly appeared, and a handsome man with short hair stepped out of the door with a bunch of strange gadgets in his hands.
In the orchard, everyone was shocked.
Tianmen reappeared, but fortunately there was not much other movement.
"Huh? Is this a gift?"
As a mother, Lu Rui was the first to react, and looked at the bags of things in Chen Xianren's hands.
How does this give her the feeling of "an immortal coming to propose marriage"?
Chen Ji, who was carrying a bunch of gifts, felt that he could no longer pretend to be a fairy.
But he can't fail to return the gift, right? It is shameful to come empty-handed.
do not care.
"Uncle, aunt, Miss Xia, and two girls."
Chen Ji handed out the gift and said with a smile, "Thanks to the weapons I gave you last time, I am very grateful. These are some special products from my hometown that I brought to you. I hope uncles and aunts will like them."
Xia Yongcheng was still a little dazed, looking at this pile of gifts, he also had the illusion that he wanted to be a father-in-law.
"My lord, you are welcome~"
Xia Shumin was very happy, and with his eyes, he signaled the two maids to accept the gift quickly, and don't let the young master take it for a long time.
But her twin maids stood there stupidly, not reacting yet.
Helpless, she could only go up in person, stretched out her slender hands, and accepted Mr. Chen's gift with a blushing face.
A large pile of gifts was placed on the rosewood table. After the bag was opened, the dazzling array of modern gifts made everyone in the orchard look fascinated again.
Chen Ji sat down and introduced them.
Needless to say, fruit snacks, he gave them to Xia Shumin last time.
The focus is on various famous wines and fine tea leaves, as well as a few cakes he bought from the cake shop. This kind of sweet to greasy pastry tastes good.
"Thank you son... Ah, there are still a few bags of potato chips!"
Xia Shumin saw the potato chips she had eaten last time. She mentioned it to Chen Ji, but he didn't expect him to buy it for her.
Chen Ji smiled and was about to talk to her, but the two elders beside him, especially Xia Shumin's mother, were staring at him with strange expressions.
"uncle and auntie."
Chen Ji took out a bag with packs of seeds in it, "Here are some common vegetable seeds, as well as a few pieces of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn kernels. They are all crops that I think are better than apples. You can try to grow them."
Potatoes and sweet potatoes plus corn are simply special medicines for famines in ancient times, and millions of people can survive in disaster years.
"corn?"
Xia Yongcheng was very interested, "What kind of corn did my nephew bring from the fairy world? As for potatoes and sweet potatoes, I don't know much about them."
Zhao also has these crops?
Chen Ji realized that this world cannot be regarded as the dynasties after the Han and Tang Dynasties, nor the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Chatted with Xia Yongcheng, Chen Ji knew that these crops had been planted by farmers a long time ago, and those warriors who went to sea found them from many overseas islands, and they spread in the Central Plains at some point.
All kinds of peppers, spices, tomatoes and other crops have also come to the table.
These brought by Chen Ji can only be used as improved products.
"Sir, don't hold on to Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen is not only here for farming and mulberry."
Lu Rui has been observing Chen Ji's words and deeds. She didn't interrupt until the two chatted farther and farther, and Xia Shumin secretly opened a bag of potato chips to eat.
If you continue talking, you will become an old farmer!
"Oh, yes."
Xia Yongcheng used tea to cover up his embarrassment, glanced at Chen Ji, and quickly smiled and said: "My nephew is so easy-going and talkative, it really surprised me and other mortals. I don't know what kind of fairy world my nephew is in? It's the wife of the Dream of the Red Chamber." Illusory land, or the heaven written in Journey to the West? As mortals, my wife and I are really curious."
Just now Chen Ji called his uncle and aunt, Xia Yongcheng and Lu Rui followed suit and called him nephew and Mr. Chen.
The relationship between the two parties suddenly became closer.
Chen Ji thought about it and considered how to explain it.
Can't be too fooled, he still wants to invite the little lady to play in the modern world in the future.
Um?
Why is the little lady staring at his waist?
Chen Ji lowered his head and found that there was a piece of jet-black iron hanging on his waist at some point... What is it?
"Young master's iron bird!"
Xia Shumin pointed at it with her slender fingers, and a word suddenly came out of her small mouth.
Let everyone present be dumbfounded.
"Yeah, it's the son's iron bird~"
The lively Cuizhu couldn't help but follow along, agreeing with Miss.
Chen Ji petrified on the spot.
