Chapter 272: Going to Mo Wangshu's House to Propose Marriage and Eating Watermelons
Lin Yunzhi wanted to take advantage of Tian Xingjian's free time to go to Mo Wangshu's house to propose marriage.
When Tian Xingjian heard that his second son's marriage had been arranged, he was delighted.
I didn't ask what family they were from, I just asked if Tian Xiwu could be together for the rest of his life.
Tian Xiwu said categorically that of course he could. In his life creed, he would only have one woman and he could not learn from others to have three wives and four concubines.
Tian Xingjian asked Lin Yunzhi to make preparations quickly and go to the Mo family to propose marriage according to the original specifications of the marriage with the Deng family. He also invited the matchmaker Zhu Yu to go to Fuyong Town together.
When Zhu Yu heard that Tian Xiwu was engaged, he thought it was the eldest daughter of the Cui family.
But when he arrived at the Tian family, he was surprised to find out that the girl was not from Shengjing.
The Cui family had asked her about Tian Xiwu's situation a few days ago, and Zhu Yu also said that Tian Xiwu was not married. The Cui family's intention of arranging a marriage was obvious.
How come someone changed in the end?
Judging from the attitude of the Tian family, they also attach great importance to this girl.
What's the misunderstanding here?
Zhu Yu is the bridegroom of the young masters and ladies within a hundred miles, but I have never heard who the girl from the Cui family has dated!
When Tian Xiaoxiao saw Zhu Yu, she thought of Miss Cui, the girl who had only appeared in their mouths but whom she had never seen.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, how is the situation with Miss Cui? ]
Daju: [She was dating a young man from a noble family in Xijing. She liked him, but he didn’t like her.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Miss Cui is pretty, isn't she? My second brother has fallen for her before.]
Tian Xiwu: Sister, that’s all in the past.
Daju: [Your second brother’s feelings at that time don’t count! He just glanced at her on the street, and he didn’t formally say he wanted to get married. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I’m afraid they will bite back and say that they have been planning to get married for a long time, but just delayed it and didn’t hire a matchmaker.]
Daju: [What a joke! If I say I want to marry the daughter of the richest man in Mingning Country, does that mean she must wait for me? There is no such thing in the world.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [The Cui family is thinking of my second brother as a second choice, right? ]
Daju: [I feel like their family is a piece of bone trying to trick a few dogs. ]
Tian Xiwu: God compares me to a dog?
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Is the Cui family very poor now? ]
Daju: [Yes, they are just maintaining the appearance, robbing Peter to pay Paul, and there is no capable man to support them. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [After all the imperial examinations, the Cui family has no more talents? ]
Daju: [Not in this generation, and the next generation hasn’t been born yet. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Besides the nobleman from Xijing, who else did Miss Cui see? ]
Daju: [I recently met the new Jingzhao Yin in Xijing and planned to make him a concubine, but the new Jingzhao Yin was forced to marry another young lady from aristocratic family by the crown prince.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [From now on, our family will pretend that we don’t know that Miss Cui has any intention of getting married! Fortunately, my second brother didn’t fall headfirst into it.]
Daju: [This girl from the Cui family is really spineless. She just goes along with whoever her family tells her to.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [The fate of a woman from an aristocratic family is not in her own hands. She has no other choice but to marry for the honor and disgrace of her family! ]
Daju: [If I were to ask you, I would never consider your second brother when there is still a way out. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Then why did she go to Qingyun Academy that day? ]
Daju: [There are many talented young people in Qingyun Academy! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Didn’t you say that she wanted to meet my second brother by chance? ]
Daju: [It is true that she went to meet your second brother by chance, but it does not prevent her from having her eyes on the pot while having her food in the bowl! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I'm so glad I gave advice to my second brother. What a scumbag! I'll put you on the list of people I don't want to have any contact with from now on! I'll tell my dad to avoid you the next time I see you.]
Daju: [Your second brother is a simple person with simple feelings. It is the right choice for him not to look for a girl from an aristocratic family. Mo Wangshu is more suitable for him.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [That’s right, Wangshu is so good, he is independent and has ideals. I miss Wangshu, I want to go with him later.]
Daju: [By the way, let's go to Longmen Inn to see if the villagers have made any money. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [That’s exactly what I meant.]
Tian Xingjian asked Yun Bo to take care of all the things, took Zhu Yu with him, drove the carriage, and the whole family headed to Fuyong Town in a grand manner.
I didn’t dare use any skills and walked for several days before arriving.
After arriving, Tian Xingjian and Lin Yunzhi pushed open the wooden fence door of the Mo family.
Mo Wangshu came to answer the door.
When I saw that it was the Tian family, I felt indescribably happy.
Tian Xiwu really cared about her and didn't let her wait for long.
Entering the yard, Mo Wangshu's parents greeted them hesitantly.
Zhu Yu began to take effect.
After briefly introducing Tian Xiwu's situation, he said that he had come from afar and would go through the first few steps of the matchmaking today and choose an auspicious day to come and pick up the bride.
Mo's father and mother were frightened by the scene. It was the first time they had encountered such a situation.
Mo Wangshu's three younger sisters were secretly happy for their elder sister.
Mo's mother was calculating in her mind. The Tian family was the governor of Shengjing, and their wealth and status were higher than her own family. If she didn't take some benefits from the Tian family, wouldn't it be like giving away a beautiful girl to the Tian family for nothing?
After careful calculation, Mo's mother requested that the betrothal gift should be one thousand and two taels of silver, and there should be no dowry.
Mo Wangshu stood up, knelt in front of his parents, and with tears in his eyes, he recounted everything he had done for his family over the years.
In the end, she cried bitterly and kowtowed her head, begging her parents to agree to the marriage and not to ask for too much, which would be a despicable act of selling their daughter for fame and fortune.
Tian Xiaoxiao carried Daju out of the door and laughed happily.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, Wangshu is really a clever little guy. He knows how to hit the snake at its weakest part. I'm afraid his parents didn't expect this trick, right?]
Daju: [This way, her parents won’t be able to raise the price. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I have never seen such stupid parents, asking for a sum of money to buy out their daughter's life.]
Daju: [Maybe he is afraid of being poor! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Do Wangshu's parents have any gossip? ]
Daju: [Yes! ]
Daju: If you are unkind, then I will be unjust. Let your own melons explode and see where you can put your face.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Come on, come on, have some. ]
Daju: [This couple has a serious problem of favoring sons over daughters. Their son is well fed and well provided for, but their daughter is treated like grass.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I hate the behavior of favoring boys over girls the most.]
Daju: [But they are too extreme. Every time we cook meat at home, the girls don’t even want to smell the smell.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Wait, what does this mean? Does it mean that Wangshu and the others don’t have the right to eat meat, or even the right to see meat? ]
Daju: [That’s right. Every time this couple bought meat, they would hide it and wait until Wangshu and the others fell asleep before cooking it. After cooking, they would bring it to the room, and the couple and their son would eat the meat together.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Is this often the case?]
Daju: [Not often, but always. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [What a ruthless move! Now they want to squeeze out their daughter’s dowry, just to give it to their son?]
Daju: [That’s right! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [, I admire you so much. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao returned to the yard. Everyone in the yard heard what she and Daju had just said.
Mo Wangshu's sisters just watched quietly.
When the eldest sister told them this, they thought she was lying.
It was fun to be a spectator today.
