Chapter 144 The Lady Comes to the Door (Three Updates)
After dinner, Wang told everyone that if Cheng Xiao's family comes to propose marriage, he can't go back. He said that he would think about it for a period of time, reply after a period of time, and make an order for the two of them, but if he wants to agree, he has to wait for Molan's seventeen to get married. As for Liu Hu, he said that he and Molan didn't get along well with each other. In a few days, he went back to the matchmaker.
In the next few days, it was still the same as usual. What should Molan do? Now that it has been decided, she is no longer thinking about it. She still quarreled with the little fat man as usual, joking, but the little fat man seemed to have changed all of a sudden. He did not love to quarrel with her so much. Several times He didn't say anything and didn't understand what was going on.
In addition, the two brothers of the Xue family looked at her differently. Mo Lan didn't quite understand what was going on. She can't figure it out, so she doesn't think about it. Anyway, all this has little to do with her.
The Mo family returned Liu Hu's marriage proposal with eight characters, and the matchmaker's quick mouth spread the matter. For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the village, saying everything. For a while, the Mo family and the Liu Hu family became the topic of discussion after tea and dinner in the village.
"The tiger is coming. Why don't you go into the house?"
Molan was helping Qiu cook in the kitchen, and heard Grandpa talking outside the kitchen. This is Liu Hu. Why didn't he come in?
"Let me have a look, my lord. It's okay. I'll go first." Liu Hu answered and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute, Brother Huzi. Wait a minute." Molan confessed to Qiu and came out of the kitchen. She looked at Liu Hu's back, which was a little lonely. Hearing her shout, Liu Hu stopped, but did not look back.
"Master, Brother Huzi and I went out for a walk. I'll be back later." Mo Lan talked to her grandfather, and then walked to Liu Hu.
Liu Hu's expression was a little haggard, and his eyes were red, as if he hadn't slept all night.
"Brother Huzi, let's go for a walk." Molan can't bear it. He is still a teenager!
"I can't, we can't. If we go out like this, I'm afraid that others will gossip and have a bad reputation for you." Liu Hu's lips were a little dry, and these words seemed to take him a lot of effort. He doesn't want to meet Molan alone anymore, for fear of having a bad reputation for her.
"Brother Huzi, let's go. I have something to say to you." Molan walked ahead after saying that.
Liu Hu hesitated and followed.
The two quietly walked to the bottom of the mountain. Molan looked at the crisp mountain, and she took a deep breath.
"Brother Huzi, we didn't make it. It's because the eight characters are not good. It's not your fault. Don't think too much." Molan thought about it and opened it first..
"Lanlan, I don't care about the eight characters. I don't care what doesn't match. You shouldn't. I understand. It's my fault. After all, I don't deserve you. After Liu Hu finished speaking, he closed his eyes, and a stream of hot liquid flowed out from the corners of his eyes. He liked the girl in front of him for a long time. Her time was still so small. She was generous. She was cute and unpretentious. She had been waiting for her to grow up, but she refused herself before she had fully grown up What's the excuse to come to her again?
"Brother Huzi, you are a good person, but Lanlan has always treated you as his brother. Brother Huzi also knows in his heart that Lanlan will get married in the future, and we will not live a good life. Brother Huzi also knows what the aunt thinks in her heart, and you also know what kind of person Lanlan is. What should Brother Huzi do in time? Mo Lan looked at Liu Hu and said it very seriously.
"I, I, I." Liu Hu even said three words to me but didn't say the following words. What is his mother's plan? He knows that although he doesn't agree, if Lanlan marries, her mother will definitely make trouble for her. If Lan Lan doesn't rely on her mother, her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will definitely be overturned by He must be towards Lanlan in his heart, but he can't be unfilial. To his mother, where did he put Lanlan?! That's all! After all, I can't have her.
"Brother Huzi, whether you hate me in your heart or not, I regard you as your brother, and my family will welcome you as before. Lanlan will bless Brother Huzi, have a good future, and find a good sister-in-law for Lanlan. Mo Lan stared at Liu Hu and said seriously.
"How can I hate you? Lanlan, how about the separation? How about we go out after we get married? Liu Hu was reluctant to give up. He made the last fight.
"Brother Huzi, let's not talk about the gossip in the village first. Let's divide it out. The aunt will come to the door to make trouble when the time comes. You still have two brothers. They will call the door on time to say that you are not filial. What should you do? What should you do if your mother forces you to test for your reputation? We are all in the same village. What if the aunt goes to our shop? Brother Huzi, there are not only two people living, but two families. Molan can't bear to hurt Liu Hu. Liu Hu is very simple. If he didn't have such a mother, he would definitely choose Liu Hu to cultivate with him at sunrise, rest at sunset, and live a plain pastoral life.
"I, I understand. Lanlan, I'm going to take the exam. Lan Lan, you, you and Cheng Xiao, I, I bless you. After Liu Hu said it intermittently, his heart ached so much. He wiped his tears, took a breath and said, "Let's go back. You're here by yourself. I'm worried."
"Good." Molan nodded and walked back with Liu Hu, afraid that this would be the last time they walked alone on the country road.
At the door of the Mo family shop, the two happened to see a well-dressed matchmaker entering the Mo family. Liu Hu's face changed. He said goodbye to Mo Lan and left sadly.
Molan looked at his back, sighed softly, and then cheered up and went into the yard.
Entering the backyard, I heard the matchmaker boasting about Cheng Xiao, boasting that there was nothing on the sky and on the earth. Although she came to propose marriage, it sounded like the Mo family was climbing high.
Molan didn't go in. She didn't want the matchmaker to see her and make a full reputation.
After sending the matchmaker away, the Mo family is still happy. After all, Cheng Xiao has been booked internally. In a few days, he will reply to the matchmaker, and the two families will be married.
"Lan'er, you can't see Cheng Xiao in the future. If this is settled, if you see too much, they will have gossip. Qiu said to his daughter with a happy face.
"Mom, you should say that my sister is going. She hasn't seen Brother Chen Xuan for a long time." Molan moved Momei out and said.
Mo Mei's face turned red and she didn't say anything.
"You can laugh at your sister with all your strength. See how your sister laughs at you at the time." Qiu looked at the two daughters funny.
"It's okay. I'll be thick-skinned when the time comes. Let my sister make fun of me casually." After saying that, Molan pointed to her face and signaled that she was not afraid.
Mo Mei looked at her sister and laughed. The girl was not old enough to be shy. If she had reached such an old age, she would definitely be the same as herself.
"You are poor." Qiu took a look at his daughter, and then he was busy.
After a long time, Molan just got the eggs. Now the two-color preserved eggs of the Mo family are famous, and the market in the town is also very good. He has to buy eggs almost every day.
"Suntie, there was a carriage in front of me. There were a few women, and I let them in and cut them off. My uncle is not easy to entertain. I asked them what to eat, and they said they looked good. Look at them, they look like everyone came out. What shall we give us?" Qiu Dajun ran over and shouted at the Qiu family.
Molan raised her eyebrows. It's about 3 p.m. now. It's been a long time since the meal. The Mo family doesn't do business at night. Why are they here now? It's no wonder that Qiu Dajun is in a hurry. When the store opens, he seldom receives female guests. What's more, everyone comes out. What should I prepare for them?
The steamed buns at noon are also sold out, and it's too late to steam them.
"Mom, go and scald the rice noodles to prepare steam the nest head, add more rock sugar, and make it sweeter. A small point. Just a few mouthfuls, just right. Don't make it big. Auntie, you are going to give me a fried pork in scoop, preserved egg tofu, fried chili with sour tomatoes, pine nuts and corn, and a mushroom soup. Finally, stir-fry the pickles and put them into the nest. That's almost enough. I'll go ahead and have a look." Mo Lan ordered Qiu and Liu to prepare. She went ahead.
When Molan walked outside the partition, she heard a woman's voice saying, "Madam has to come to this shabby place to eat. What can the people in this deserted village have to eat?" Let's hurry back home to eat."
"When is it your turn to make the matter of your wife? Madam said to eat here, and you can do as you say. There are so many words there. Another sound sounded.
"I'm not doing it for my wife. You see, I've been here for so long. I don't even have a host. Looking at this tea, it's not a good tea. I'm afraid my wife can't get used to it. The previous voice sounded again.
Molan shook her head, then walked in with a smile on her face.
After entering, she quickly looked at it. There were four people in the room, sitting in a lady in her thirties.
She has fair skin, beautiful facial features, a flowing cloud bun, a red gold phoenix hairpin inserted on it, and a purple brocade, which makes her elegant and generous, but there is a trace of sadness and a silk indifference between her eyebrows. The two originally unmatched emotions hang between her eyebrows, which looks a little strange.
The lady held a teacup in her hand, did not eat tea, and did not speak, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
A young maid and two women stood behind her.
The maid was handsome and well dressed. She stood quietly behind her, silent and looked very calm.
The two women's clothes are not bad, much better than the villager's family. Both of them are in their forties, and their hair has lost at all. They look very energetic. It should be the two women who were arguing just now.
Molan smiled and opened. "Hi, madam, I've been waiting for a long time. It's not a meal now. Everything has to be ready, so it's a little slow. I hope my wife won't be surprised."
As soon as Molan came in, the eyes of the four of them looked over, and her eyes were full of inquiry.
The lady looked at Molan seriously, didn't speak, and raised her eyebrows slightly. ( To be continued
