One-acre three-point land of the miracle doctor and peasant girl

Chapter 116 The Final Engagement

Isn't it said that the ancients were very reserved?Even if this man is alone, but as a native of this era, he has never eaten pork but has seen pigs run. Don't you know that there is still a kind of person called a matchmaker in this society?
No, no, where have I been thinking, now is not the time for me to think about these things, but I should think about whether to agree to the other party's marriage proposal or not.

Chen Pengfei over there saw that Hongxue hadn't recovered for a long time, and his face gradually became anxious, and he said in a panic, "Aunt Zhou, it seems that I was too reckless, it doesn't matter, I, I'll find a matchmaker , let Hongxue think about it carefully."

After all, get up and leave.

Only then did Hongxue come back to her senses and said, "Wait a minute."

"Huh?" Chen Pengfei stopped in surprise, and turned back slowly like a slow-motion playback, only to see that there was neither joy nor sorrow on Hong Xue's face, and his heart seemed to be poured with ice water, dialing back the cold of.

Hongxue didn't care about his thoughts, she walked up to him slowly and said, "Why do you think I will marry you?"

Seeing Chen Pengfei staring blankly at himself, he said again: "Ask me this way, what do you know? What do you have? Is it worthy of me to marry you? I, Jiang Hongxue, don't marry useless people."

"I know how to hunt." Chen Pengfei said hastily.

"If I want, I can too." Hongxue said flatly.

"I can drive a car, I can chop firewood, carry water, I can build roof tiles, I can repair courtyard walls, I can..." Chen Pengfei tried his best to think about the things he knew, but after much deliberation, apart from these heavy tasks , I really don't know it at all, so I couldn't help but look at Hongxue with a little frustration.

"Okay, okay, I see, you want to say that you are a strong laborer?" Hongxue glanced at him, and said inexplicably.

"That's right, that's what it means." Chen Pengfei nodded hastily and said, "I'm usually in good health, and I'm not afraid of working at all." Although he said this with a guilty conscience, he still said it bravely.

Hongxue was overjoyed for a while, and then looked at Chen Pengfei and said, "Hearing what you said, why do I feel that I am looking for a long-term employee, not a husband-in-law?"

"Uh..." Chen Pengfei choked for a moment. From the day he really knew her, he knew that she was a sharp-tongued woman. He didn't expect that after such a long time, her mouth was still so unforgiving.

"Okay, Xue'er." Zhou said with a serious face: "Pengfei is a solid-minded kid. Don't bully him. If you don't want to, then don't. Don't make things difficult for others."

"..." Hongxue was dumbfounded, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that this was the rhythm of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.

"Mom, how can I..."

"Aunt Zhou, it's no wonder Hongxue looks down on me." Chen Pengfei said dejectedly, "It's because I'm not capable."

"Who said you have no skills? Isn't what you said just now all your skills?" Zhou retorted: "The Baicaotang in the town is still yours!" It's too unkind for the guy to hit him like this.

"Yeah." Chen Pengfei replied listlessly, and then looked back at Hongxue. He would not just give up like this. Since he recognized her, he would not give up lightly, even if he was beaten to nothing by her today. .

Just as Chen Pengfei turned and left silently, Hongxue's voice came from behind: "Let's find a more reliable matchmaker."

"What did you say?" Chen Pengfei turned around abruptly, looked at Hongxue who was smiling lightly in disbelief, and asked carefully, "You mean...agreed?" The last few words were spoken very softly, It was as if he was afraid that Hongxue would regret it if he said something too serious.

Hongxue nodded, and the smile on her face widened: "Our family is short of a strong man, I wonder if you would like to marry in?"

"Xue'er..." Mrs. Zhou looked at her daughter disapprovingly. What does it mean to marry in? Isn't that asking someone else to marry a young man?Which spineless kid would do such a shameful thing?
"I am willing!" Chen Pengfei said with a big gash at the corner of his mouth, "There is no one in my family. If you marry me, it is the same as if I marry you. I don't care. Don't talk about Xue'er, Aunt Zhou." Just one sentence In other words, he even changed his name.

Mrs. Zhou sighed heavily, shook her head and went out, she simply let them discuss it by themselves, she felt that she, as a mother, couldn't control it anymore.

Seeing Mrs. Zhou going out, Hongxue said seriously to Chen Pengfei: "No matter what, the matchmaker still needs to be found. After all, we believe in the orders of our parents and the words of the matchmaker. Since you really want to marry me, you can't just marry me and me." Mother has discussed it properly, otherwise the name will not be correct, and the words will not go well."

"I know, I know, I was too impatient and scared you." Now no matter what Hongxue said, Chen Pengfei nodded.

He moved very quickly, and a matchmaker came to the door that day, begging to marry Hongxue.

The two times were all negotiated, so the Zhou family naturally agreed happily. Chen Pengfei asked the matchmaker to send a high-quality jade pendant over, which was the betrothal thing, but what Hongxue returned was just a very ordinary little jade pendant. Porcelain bottle.

Mrs. Zhou said that her gift in return was too small, and she insisted on giving more, so she gave away a golden hairpin that she had treasured for many years.

However, Chen Pengfei was deeply aware that what was in that small porcelain bottle was a hundred times more precious than his own jade pendant, it was a pill to suppress the toxins in his body.

Chen Pengfei and Hongxue's engagement didn't make a high-profile affair. They just invited several respected elders and village chiefs to their home for a meal, so the whole village didn't make a fuss.But even though they were so low-key, within a few days, everyone in the village knew about it. Everyone was only surprised that Chen Pengfei, a cold-faced and cold-hearted person, would be willing to be his son-in-law.

In that era, the door-to-door son-in-law was looked down upon. Only men who could not live on were willing to be the door-to-door son-in-law. Of course, people like Jiang Zaian who cling to the powerful were not considered a different matter.

Although Chen Pengfei is an orphan, he is not poor. On the contrary, I heard that the prey he hunts is sold in the town, and he earns seven or eight taels of silver every day, which is the first in Hongye Village, but this is For such a man to be the son-in-law of the not-so-famous Hongxue family, everyone was amazed.

Especially Gao Yuanzhen, after hearing the news, she almost went crazy. She thought that Jiang Hongxue must have confused her brother Chen, otherwise how could he come to her house to be her son-in-law.

"Jiang Hongxue, you vixen, get out of here." Early in the morning, Gao Yuanzhen was yelling loudly at the door of Hongxue's house. Anyway, her appearance had been ruined now, and her mother at home didn't love her as much as before. She has nothing to worry about.

Hongxue opened the door calmly, walked to a place three steps away from Gao Yuanzhen and stopped, looking at her coldly.
