Fisherman's Song Dynasty

Chapter 48: Proposal

Xu Zizhen stayed in Hua Ye's gambling shop for several hours, and no one came to report that a woman had been abducted. Although the two were a little bored, they were still very satisfied: it seems that the decision of Manchengcai is still very happy. That's right, at least those grandchildren were scared to act rashly.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Xu Zizhen couldn't sit still, so he got up and went to the Yongfu Inn diagonally opposite to find the brothers of the Duan family. Coincidentally, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the inn, he saw Duan Chen walking back from not far away, followed by the two A highly skilled follower, holding a big bag in his hand, I don't know what it is.

Duan Chen greeted with a smile: "Brother Xu, why are you free today to look for my younger brother? Could it be that you want to ask me to go to Hongxiu Zhao?"

Xu Zizhen pointed at him bitterly: "Xiao Duan, you have fallen! It's all the old money that brought you down."

The two looked at each other and laughed, and went into the backyard room together. Duan Yan was lying on the table listlessly, when he saw Xu Zizhen coming, he jumped up, rushed over and grabbed his arm to complain: "Brother Zhen, look at my brother Don't take me out!"

Xu Zizhen patted his head with a smile, turned around and asked Duan Chen, "You look like you're going back soon?"

Duan Chen nodded: "It's been a long time since I came out this time, if I don't go back, I'm afraid my father will get angry."

Xu Zizhen smiled and said: "That's right, Suzhou City is such a big place, you have played everything you need to play, and if I am free in the future, I will go to Dali to find you."

Duan Chen said: "My brother didn't come to Suzhou for fun, but to buy some things. He should have gone back." He said with a smile and pointed to Duan Yandao, "It's just that Yan'er has always yearned for the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and insisted on lingering. Together, it ended up wasting a lot of time."

Duan Yan was very dissatisfied immediately, and snorted: "You are having fun every day, and you are ashamed to say that it is because of me that you are delayed. Go back and see if I don't tell father!"

Seeing the brothers bickering, Xu Zizhen simply changed the subject and said, "By the way, Duan, I came today to ask you something."

"Brother Xu, please tell me."

"Is there anything called pepper in your place?"

"Pepper?" Duan Chen was stunned, and wondered, "How did Brother Xu know that I have such a crop in Dali? It has only been introduced to Dali not long ago, and it only grows in the dense forest in the south of Dali. It is not easy to get it Even ordinary people in Dali have never seen it before."

Xu Zizhen was overjoyed, and thought to himself: You are right!

That day Hao Dong said that he had a stomach problem, so he thought of a folk remedy. Back then, his father had a cold stomach. Later, he never left pepper in every meal, so he insisted on nourishing the cold stomach. This time, the Taihu Water Village is very proud of itself Just make sense.

Xu Zizhen said: "I found out by accident, how about it, do you have it there?"

Duan Chen laughed: "Brother Xu, you are right, little brother really has it." As he spoke, he took out a small porcelain bottle with a long neck from his bosom.

Xu Zizhen was also happy: "Even if this thing is rare, you don't need to carry it with you?"

"Suzhou food is quite sweet, and I really can't get used to it. Without these peppers, I'm afraid I'd be thinner than Huang Hua." After finishing speaking, Duan Chen put the porcelain bottle in front of Xu Zizhen, and said with a smile, "There are still a lot of them. , if Brother Xu doesn’t dislike it, please accept it first, and if there is a chance in the future, I will bring some more to Brother Xu.”

Xu Zizhen unplugged the plug and looked in. It was dried and ground pepper. Before his nose got close, he was rushed by the smell and sneezed several times, which made Duan Yan giggle. He was polite, put it in his arms, chatted for a few more words, and then left.

It was getting dark, now it's not appropriate to go to Taihu Lake to find Hao Donglai, he thought about it and went straight to Xie Fuchun, but he didn't have dinner, so he wondered if Lier had eaten.

Changmen is the most prosperous area in Suzhou City, even though it was dark, Xie Fuchun still opened the door, Mo Lier was greeting a few female guests again, Xu Zizhen didn't bother her, just stood quietly by the door and watched her busy .

Li'er is really nice, beautiful, gentle and virtuous, we are now Xie Fuchun's shareholders, and we will be rich sooner or later with the sale of mascara, or...

Just thinking of this, Mo Lier turned around and found him, and exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Xu, why are you here?"

Xu Zizhen smiled and said, "Of course I came to see my pear."

He specially emphasized the tone of "my Li'er". Sister Sun and Wu sister pursed their lips and smiled at the side, and looked at him strangely. Even though Mo Lier was already used to being molested by him, she still blushed As if bleeding, he said angrily, "Brother, many people are watching."

Xu Zizhen squeezed his eyes and said with a smirk, "Then I'll talk about it when no one is watching."

How could Mo Li'er stand up to his teasing, she stomped her feet and turned around to run away, Xu Zizhen was just about to take the opportunity to catch up, but saw Mo Xie turning out from the inner hall, and when he saw it, he greeted with a smile: " Is Zhenguan here? Have you eaten yet?"

Xu Zizhen rubbed his stomach: "Isn't it just because I'm hungry, Auntie, just don't laugh at me for being thick-skinned."

Mo Xie was also amused by him: "Today I made a little too much dinner, and Zhenguan'er came just in time, saving me and Li'er from having an overnight meal tomorrow."

Xu Zizhen never knew how to be polite, let alone eating here, and Mo Xie's cooking skills were excellent, and he ate the meal until he leaned back on the back of his chair and couldn't move.

Li'er made a cup of tea and brought it over, she giggled and said, "Brother Xu hasn't eaten for a few days?"

Xu Zizhen said: "These days I'm busy solving the case of kidnapping women, I really don't have time to eat, besides, I'm alone and I don't bother to cook, so I just make do with what I can."

Mo Xie saw that his complexion was indeed not very good, and thanked him for his help to Xie Fuchun, thought for a while and said: "If you don't dislike it, why don't you come to my place for dinner in the future."

Xu Zizhen was waiting for this sentence, nodded his head immediately, and said cheerfully: "Well, well, the rice cooked by my aunt is so delicious, I'm afraid I will just wait to grow fat in the future."

One sentence made Mo's mother and daughter laugh, Xu Zizhen suddenly looked straight and said, "Auntie, I want to give you my shares."

Mo Xie was startled for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Why, you...do you want to withdraw your shares?"

Right now is the time when Xie Fuchun has just come back to life, if Xu Zizhen now says quit and wants to take back the formula of mascara, she really has nothing to do, and with her temperament, she will never copy that unique formula in private. In this case, Xie Fuchun may have to return to the half-dead state before and wait to be eliminated by this fiercely competitive business district.

Xu Zizhen smiled slightly, his expression became extremely serious, and he said seriously: "Auntie, you have misunderstood, what I mean is, I want to use this share as a gift, and ask you... to propose marriage!"

As soon as these words came out, Mo Xie was stunned on the spot, while Mo Lier's face turned red all of a sudden, she screamed in surprise and turned around to run away, Xu Zizhen didn't let her run away, he grabbed her catkin, Looking into her eyes, he said slowly: "Li'er, you are the first friend I met in Song Dynasty, you are unique in my heart, if I don't marry you in this life, I'm afraid I will die of regret all my life .”

Before he could finish speaking, Mo Lier covered his mouth with her little hand, and said anxiously: "What's the matter with death, Brother Xu, please don't say such bad words again!"

Xu Zizhen hit the snake with the stick, and took the opportunity to giggle: "Then you mean you agreed?"

"You!" Mo Lier suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing, her face flushed with shame, she tried her best to break free from Xu Zizhen's hand, turned her head and ran out.

Xu Zizhen laughed, and instead of chasing after him, he turned to look at Mo Xie: "Auntie, what do you think?"

Mo Xie pondered, Xu Zizhen's proposal was so abrupt that she was a little caught off guard, but soon she came back to her senses, took a deep breath, and smiled slightly: "I promised on behalf of my deceased husband."

Xu Zizhen was overjoyed, holding the cup of tea made by Mo Lier in both hands, knelt down with a plop, and shouted loudly: "Mother-in-law, please be respected by my son-in-law!" After speaking, he raised the teacup high.
