Chapter 468 Looking at each other
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 receiving 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 pretext, and couldn't help but asked on the way, "Third sister, How do you feel?"
Xie Sanniang's face turned red in the darkness, she lowered her head and twisted her handkerchief, and said nothing, Yuan didn't know what was going on in her heart, she was so anxious that she said, "Sister, if you don't agree, no one will force you to do so. 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 decided by my uncle and elder brother and sister-in-law!"
When Yuan Shi heard it, she understood, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled and said, "In the past, when I was at my natal family, 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. In 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 early."
When Yuan said she would give her away, she just wanted to ask her what she thought. Now that she has asked, if she says no, then don’t give it up!
After a while, at the front yard, Mrs. Yuan handed over the news that Xie Sanniang had promised, and Xie Yuanbai hurriedly got up, and said to Lu Qiling, "Congratulations, cousin!"
Xie Tiao was also very happy, and laughed loudly, "Today, I have two things on my mind, Qi Ling, I am worthy of your dead aunt."
Lu Qiling hurriedly got up and cupped his hands towards Xie Tiao, "Nephew, thank you uncle! Tomorrow, nephew will have a matchmaker come to propose marriage!"
"Okay, okay, you are not too young, and Sanniang is not too young. Since this marriage is settled, the sooner the matter is done, the better."
The house of the Lu family has been dilapidated after many 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 Xie's 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 saw it, she became a little anxious, and Aunt Hetian began to confront Xie Zhiwei's dowry list.
Xie Zhiwei directed Du Yuan and Du Yan to the peach blossom forest in the back garden early in the morning, and dug in the middle of two century-old peach blossom trees.
"Take it easy, there is a jar of peach blossom wine inside. Let me tell you, if you break it, 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?"
Chi Yude said, slobbered, licked his face and smiled, "I promised my old wife to go back for lunch, but I didn't expect that people don't keep people away from wine!"
