Chapter 239: Marriage Proposal (1)
"Let's go!" she said, taking a few steps back.

Meng Kuo stared straight at her, and said for a moment, "You've lost weight and haggarded."

When she heard the words, she immediately blushed and bit her lips and said, "You risked running in in the middle of the night just to say this? What should I do after hearing this? I'm moved to cry, and then let you...frivolity?"

"You know I'm not that kind of person! I just heard that you're sick, and I want to come over and have a look..."

"Now that you've seen it, let's go!"

"But you're not doing well, I'm worried..."

"So what can I do if I'm worried? Someone has already come to propose marriage, and it's only a matter of time before my wife agrees. You and I... will be strangers in the end!" After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Meng Kuo was a little naive, he didn't know how to speak sweet words, and when he saw her crying sadly, he was at a loss and didn't know how to comfort her.But Wan Xia's performance has already made him understand that she has her own in her heart.

"Just wait, I'll come to propose marriage tomorrow!" He said with determination, looked at her distressedly, opened the window and went out again.

Wan Xia stopped her tears when she heard the words, and when she raised her head, he was nowhere to be seen.He said he would come to propose marriage, but how could his wife agree?If it was so simple, she would not have returned the jade pendant at that time, and she would not have suffered from this illness!
The next day, Meng Kuo really came to the Hou Mansion to propose marriage, and he came in person.He said he wanted to see Lord Hou, so he reported the name of the eldest prince's personal bodyguard. The concierge dared not neglect.

Hou Ye thought that the eldest prince had sent him here, so he naturally met him in the study.Meng Kuo is straightforward, and when he saw Lord Hou, he directly talked about proposing marriage.

"You said you want to marry Wan Xia?" Lord Hou was a little surprised, it was the first time he saw the man come to propose marriage in person, or with the woman's father.

Hearing this, Meng Kuo knelt down with a "plop", and replied sincerely: "I saw the fourth girl in the palace, and I wanted to marry her. Although I don't have a family background, I am still young and can marry her." Work hard to achieve success. As the saying goes: Don't bully young people and be poor! If Lord Hou agrees to marry the fourth girl to me, I will definitely give her a happy and comfortable life!"

Hou Ye laughed when he heard his words, "According to what you said, wouldn't it be that if any young man said he liked my daughter, I would agree to that?"

"I know that I have too many deficiencies. Marrying the fourth girl is undoubtedly to pick the moon in the sky! But I just want to marry her, and I ask Lord Hou to give me a chance. Although I can't agree immediately, don't rush to refuse. I don't have too much gold and silver, and I don't have any power or status, but my heart to Miss Four is sincere. If the Marquis is willing to agree to this marriage, I am willing to never take a concubine for life!" He said solemnly.

After hearing this, Lord Hou thought he was too ridiculous, so he replied perfunctorily: "You go back first, I will think about it."

Seeing this, he had no choice but to go back first, Master Hou didn't take this matter to heart, and ordered the concierge not to let him in when he saw him, unless he came under the order of the First Prince.

Three days later, Meng Kuo came again but could not enter the Marquis' residence.He waited at the gate of the mansion for Lord Hou to come back from the court, and rushed forward when he saw Lord Hou's sedan chair.The attendants and servants at the side stopped him, but they couldn't move him at all.

Seeing this, Lord Hou frowned displeasedly and said: "What are you doing? If it wasn't for the sake of the eldest prince, the old man would have sent you to the government a long time ago to punish you for disrespect!"

"I don't mean to disrespect Lord Hou at all, I just want to show my sincerity and determination to win Miss Fourth!" He said stubbornly, "I will come here for a day if Master Hou refuses to agree, until Master Hou agrees. "After that, he pushed aside and knelt down.

Lord Hou let him kneel, got out of the sedan chair and went into the mansion. When he saw Mrs. Hou, he ordered her to arrange a marriage for Wan Xia.Mrs. Hou asked why, and Master Hou said that Meng Kuo had come to ask for Wan Xia twice, and now he was still kneeling at the gate of the mansion.

Madam Hou was furious when she heard this, and rushed to the evening leisure room angrily, even if Ruoxi was still inside, she got angry.

"Although you are a concubine, you are also the daughter of the Marquis Mansion. Why do you do unreliable and embarrassing things? Don't lie on the bed and pretend to be sick, clean up and follow me to the palace tomorrow!"

Ruoxi understood in her heart, she hurriedly winked to let the girl and mother-in-law go out.She personally brought a cup of tea over, and said softly: "Madam, don't be angry, Fourth Younger Sister will teach you slowly when she did something wrong, and don't get angry."

"You also said that you want me to teach. If there is a mistake in her every move, people will say that I, the aunt, did not teach well!" Madam Hou took a sip from the teacup and calmed down a little. Kneeling at the door, I'm afraid the whole Hou Mansion knows about it now. Tell me, how dare you meet the guards in the palace?"

"I...I..." Wan Xia hesitated and didn't know how to answer.

After hearing this, Ruoxi hurriedly replied: "My wife doesn't know the temperament of the fourth sister? I heard the second master talk about Meng Kuo's marriage proposal, but it was because he happened to see the fourth sister in the palace that he fell in love with it. How can there be a marriage proposal like him When you mention it like this, it sounds like you are acting erratically and recklessly, and the fourth younger sister may be innocently involved." After saying that, he gave Wan Xia a wink while Mrs. Hou was not paying attention.

Seeing this, Wan Xia showed an aggrieved expression, struggled to sit up and squeezed out some tears.Mrs. Hou thought of Meng Kuo kneeling outside, this behavior was a bit abnormal, and thought of Wan Xia's introverted and dull temperament, she also felt that it was unlikely that she would seduce a man.But Meng Kuo was making trouble at the gate of the mansion like this, what should outsiders say when they knew about it?It's better to settle Wan Xia's marriage as early as possible and let that kid give up.

"Come with me to the palace tomorrow. If Mrs. Wang sends a matchmaker again, I will agree." These words should not have been said in Wan Xia's face, but Mrs. Hou can't control so much, "Let your second sister-in-law help you?" Dress up well and show the posture of the daughter of the Marquis Mansion." After saying that, he left.

Wan Xia immediately became anxious, Ruoxi patted her lightly to comfort her, and leaned over to whisper a few words in her ear.

"Although this method is good, it's easy to fight. Use it after you think about it, so that you won't regret it later!" Ruoxi said solemnly.

After hearing this, Wan Xia bit her lip and thought for a while, and finally made up her mind and replied: "I believe he is sincere to me! If I mess it up, I will shave my hair and become a sister-in-law!"

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Ruoxi stopped talking, and went back to Linfeng Residence to see Yixuan had returned.

"Meng Kuo is kneeling at the door. I don't know how long he will be kneeling." He said while changing his clothes, "Is it possible to impress father just by kneeling? Is his idea too simple? I think this matter is hanging in the balance."

"As a big man, he can put down his body and kneel, at least he has shown his attitude, it's better than doing nothing at all. As for whether he can move Master Hou, it depends on how determined he is!" Ruoxi took him off. He took the clothes and brought another cup of tea, "By the way, have you gone to Mr. Zhang's house? Did he promise to come and live in our house?"
