Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 201 I Will

I have to say, as far as Li Shuanzhu and Lan Xiuting are concerned, if the two of them really achieve their marriage, in the eyes of the villagers and the townspeople, it may be that the sister-in-law of the Lan family is the best, although Xiao Zhuzi is the daughter of the Lan family. But everyone knows that the Lan family's shop has nothing to do with the Lan family's old house, and even has some incompatibility. The Lan's old house was the household that forced Lan Erzhuang's family to leave without a single copper coin. The whole family was brought out, and there was no room left. If it hadn't been for the help of kind-hearted villagers, the family might not be in what kind of situation now. If there is still contact between the two sides, it can only be because of Lan Er. The Zhuang family is generous, regardless of previous suspicions, everyone in the house knows that Li Shuanzhu's marriage proposal is definitely not for the purpose of setting up a relationship with the Lan family.

"I sincerely asked Miss Lan to marry me. I didn't have the slightest dirty intentions, and it wasn't just because of what happened to Miss Lan. Although I didn't have much contact with Miss Lan, it was only the past few days. It can be concluded that Miss Lan is a girl with a beautiful heart and a heart, and she is also smart and willing to work. If the girl doesn't feel wronged by marrying me, I, Li Shuanzhu, swear that I will treat you well for the rest of my life, and I will never make you sad again. No matter how helpless you are, I will do my best to protect you and give you the best life possible."

The second half of this sentence is simply a confession. Lan Lingxue could hear goosebumps all over her body. Looking at Lan Xiuting's little face after crying, although her eyes were still a little red and swollen, they were already shy and bright red at the moment. Lan Xiuting never thought that Guanshi Li could say such a thing. Such an excellent man was beyond her imagination. She felt that she was just an ordinary farm girl. In the sky, even looking at him is considered lucky. In the past few days, she didn't even dare to look at him carefully.

"Brother Zhuzi, you also know that this is my sister-in-law. Now that we have encountered such a thing, our whole family is in a hurry. We are really grateful for your help. You have to think about it. If you really want to marry my sister-in-law, we will not stop you. We are all from our own family. I will not talk about those falsehoods. I dare not say anything else. I know both of you well. You are capable, my sister-in-law is also diligent and virtuous, there is no such thing as being worthy or not, but the premise is that the two of you are willing, but if you just want to help my sister-in-law solve the immediate difficulties, and sacrifice yourself for it I don't agree with the marriage, I don't agree, there can never be only one solution to the matter, and I don't agree with tying two people who don't love each other together. , instead of making compromises in order to solve things, I hope you two can be happy, but I don’t force you two to be together, you are happy separately, that’s what I want too, do you understand, brother Zhuzi? Don’t be wronged for anything No one deserves you to do that to yourself."

Lan Lingxue didn't want Brother Zhuzi to give up his own happiness because of his loyalty to the Lord or something. In that case, the two of them might become a bitter couple in the future, but the gains outweighed the losses. Maybe at that time, what he lost would be even more Many, loyal servants and loved ones will all be lost. Unhappy marriages are the most hurtful, and no one is sure that they will be able to compromise for the rest of their lives.

"Miss, I am sincere. You know me. I have been with you for so long. You know what kind of person I am. Please believe me. I made this decision not just for a while. A whim, let alone a momentary passion, as you said, no one is worth my whole life to bet on, unless it is the woman I like, and now, I am working hard for the woman I like."

When Li Shuanzhu said this, the Lan family all smiled with relief,

"Brother Zhuzi, I'm relieved if you can say that."

Lan Lingxue didn't want to do things that forced her into trouble,
"What about my sister, please express your opinion, what do you think of Brother Zhuzi? You just nodded and agreed to this matter, you also have to think about whether you have a good impression of Zhuzi, and whether you really want to accept him."

When asked by her eldest niece, Lan Xiuting blushed with embarrassment and couldn't say a word. Li Shuanzhu and Li Guanshi also looked at her expectantly.

"Sister-in-law, don't be shy. This is my own family now. I won't reveal a word here. The reason why we are here is because we are worried about you and want to protect you. So, you have to To be honest, do you like Brother Zhuzi? If you like it, then nothing is a problem, but if you don’t like it, you have to tell the truth, we will have other ways to solve this matter, and you don’t want to solve it. The matter in front of me made myself feel wronged."

In Lan Lingxue's eyes, Lan Xiuting did not have the idea of ​​climbing up to Li Shuanzhu. She felt that only when both of them liked each other could they discuss the next step. Although background is very important, these are not enough in marriage It's just the background, the sincerity of the two is the most important thing,
"I, I'm not good enough for Brother Zhuzi."

Lan Lingxue really wants to stroke her forehead. She knows that women in this time and space are shy and coy about marriage, but now is a critical juncture, and she has already said it thoroughly. Do you want to continue like this? Brother Zhuzi went up and said he was not good enough.

"Sister, little basket has already said, now is an extraordinary period, we treat it very seriously, or the second brother will not let you express your opinion in front of Li Guanshi, you just say what you think of Brother Shuan Zhu, and you think it's okay, Shuan Zhu Brother is right in front of you, so let’s make a preliminary decision on the matter, if you think it’s not possible, then just say it, and we’ll figure it out as a family.”

Lan Erzhuang also felt that his sister was a bit hypocritical, and she was trying to find a way for her. The whole family was in a hurry to go to the house, but she was fine, and she couldn't let go of her posture. Compared with this, Lan Erzhuang felt that his daughter Generous, generous, and magnanimous, my daughter still has courage. If this matter is placed on my daughter, I'm afraid she doesn't have to take the lead, she can handle it by herself.

"I, I will!"

After being said by the second brother, Lan Xiuting also felt that she was too reserved. She gritted her teeth, held back her shame, and spoke firmly. The time has come, what is needed at this time is to act decisively,

"I would too!"

Li Shuanzhu listened to Miss Lan's willingness, and he immediately expressed his willingness. Then, Lan Lingxue saw a suspicious red color on his face.

The matter was resolved smoothly, and the next day Li Shuanzhu invited someone to come to Lan's family to propose marriage, which shocked the old lady Lan. The person who proposed marriage brought 15 taels of dowry money on the same day, saying that as long as the Lan family agreed This family, this marriage should be done quickly, after all, Lan Xiuting is not too young, and this age can be put on a boy and wait, if it is put on a girl, it is indeed a bit urgent,

"Middle, middle, you just look at the given."

Mrs. Lan didn't have to marry her daughter to the old widower. She was her own daughter, and she was not brought in later. How could she treat her badly on purpose? The reason why she chose the old widower at the beginning was because she wanted to let her go. Why did you agree to a dowry gift of 15 taels of silver?

I want to ask the girl for nothing, I'm sorry, there are too many people who can afford 15 taels of silver, so I found such a family for the girl, and now I see that there is a young, handsome, smart and capable steward who married my daughter, and I There is light on his face, and it sounds nice to say it, so who would want to marry his daughter to that useless old widower?

The matchmaker accepted Li Shuanzhu's instructions and took the money he gave. Naturally, she did her best to do things for him, and immediately exchanged Geng Tie with Lan's family. It didn't matter whether it was in compliance with the rules, as long as the matter was settled as soon as possible, Lan Seeing the 15 taels of silver, the old lady naturally cooperated with all her strength. Soon, the two families settled on their marriage, and the date will be in the middle of next month. Counting it, the time is really tight, and both sides are tight Busy work, when the man came to offer the betrothal, although the betrothal money had already been given, in the betrothal gift, he still brought a three-piece set of silver ornaments and ten carrying boxes, which made the old lady Lan's mouth so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, but she But if you don't want to take all these things away with your daughter, it means returning them to your husband's family. She doesn't think that carrying these things back will become your daughter's dowry, which is the guarantee for your daughter's life. Her daughter-in-law, What kind of dowry didn't ask her to search for it in the end. When she arrived at the girl's place, it was better to let her take away less, and wait for it to be searched by her husband's family. It is better to leave more for her mother's family. I have to say that Mrs. Lan is really very happy. Selfish, she only thinks about herself, and doesn't think about it, the daughter's dowry is less, will the daughter be a head shorter in her husband's house, will life be difficult?

The three-piece silver jewelry is obviously for the girl, she can't keep it, the girl should wear it when she goes out, those boxes and cages, the old lady rummaged through, and took out more than half of the things, Lan Xiuting Seeing that there were only three boxes left, she wanted to cry, she had no qualifications and no strength to fight for herself, just like that, mother also said that she had brought too many things for her, and warned her to keep things close Now, don't let the in-law's family cheat everything, she doesn't know what mother is thinking, this is my mother, what benefits can she get if she spoils her daughter to such an extent, she is ashamed to let herself Looking at these things, these things are all dowry gifts from the mother-in-law's family. If people want to use them, there is nothing to say, just give them to others. The daughter-in-law cares about these things, after all, these things will be left to her grandsons and granddaughters in the future, but on this basis, the mother did not give herself any dowry, which still made Lan Xiuting very sad.

She is the only girl in the Lan family. Although she is not a spoiled girl, she grew up lovingly. But at the last moment, she realized that in the hearts of her parents, they are the only ones. Come to think of it, it’s true that I get benefits, so don’t think about it, which of my four sisters-in-laws didn’t give anything to accompany them when they got married, so the mother-in-law thinks it’s too few, and they often mutter about them loudly, although later It was given to my mother-in-law's family because I met a mother-in-law like my mother-in-law. When the sisters-in-law first entered the house, they all had straight backs. Yes, look at my own mother again, it's too insignificant to take her daughter seriously, not only did she not bring things for herself, but also withheld so many betrothal gifts, she didn't even think that her daughter-in-law would be punished by her husband's family if she passed by like this. What kind of treatment, what will I rely on to live in my husband's family.
