Chapter 843: Engagement Preparations
, under the guidance of Grandma Sun, went to the main courtyard to pay respects to Madam Hou.Lady Hou, Xue Jin-shi, was the most influential woman in the inner courtyard. Though her two sons were alre...After the three sisters returned home, their father, Gonzo, finally asked:
"Where did you take the people"
"Father, rest assured. We gave him a beating and explained to the onlookers as well. Wen Xiaoxiao won't be coming back."
Wen Yun immediately said respectfully.
"This dead girl is thinking about Ming Ge'er, it's truly a curse. Her parents are actually free from this, leaving this troublesome woman behind in the village. Who knows what kind of trouble she'll cause in the future."
Wen Wugong sighed, he was Wen Zhaoming's neighbor and had previously helped take care of Yueyue.
"Father, don't worry. I think Mingge isn't someone who is weak-willed. He must have a plan in mind. This time we lend a hand, it will prevent some rumors and gossip, and it can also be considered an apology for what happened before. I believe Mingge understands."
Wen Duo immediately said.
Because his father helped look after Yueyue, it resulted in Yueyue being drugged and taken away by Wen's third brother. Although this wasn't his father's fault, he always felt guilty about it.
Fortunately, Ming'er is sensible and didn't blame her father at all. She even sent two rabbit skins as a thank you and specially comforted her own father. They saw it in their eyes and kept it in their hearts, so this time they helped out.
Wen Zhao Ming didn't yet know that his timely departure had prevented a disaster. At this time, his face flushed red as he discussed his marriage with Lian Yi.
Rill frowned and asked:
"Ming'er, your family doesn't have elders. When it comes to matchmaking, you shouldn't agree on your own. I'll find an official matchmaker to go to the Wen village and look for someone who would be a suitable match."
"Go find the village head's wife, she can make the decisions on this. Once she knows, everyone in the village will know, and no one will dare to target me again."
Wen Zhaoming thought for a moment and then said.
Okay, I hear you.
The ripple nodded and then said:
"I'll send you and Yueyue back in a while, then I'll go say hello to Elder Wen first."
The ripples made everything that followed clear.
Well, I'll do as you say.
Wen Zhaoming responded a little embarrassedly.
Have you read the "East Travelogue" I gave you Do you still like it
"It looks good, but I haven't finished watching it yet."
"No need to hurry, take your time."
The ripples smiled and said.
When Wen Zhaoming was at a loss for words, Yueyue, who had just woken up, got up to find her brother, temporarily breaking the somewhat ambiguous atmosphere.
The ripples of the river left behind. The two of them ate lunch together and then hired two carriages to travel to Wenjia Village.
Ming'er and Yueyue rode in one carriage, still driven by Lao Su. Lian'yi took another, smaller carriage, driven by An He. Cuihua and Helan accompanied her.
Although the two never married, they should still avoid suspicion when necessary.
As soon as the car entered the village, they parted ways. Old Su skillfully sent the Wen siblings back home, while Lianyi went directly to the village head's house for a visit.
Wen Wu saw Ming Ge'er and Yue Yue returning in a carriage, so he quickly walked out of the house and said to Wen Zhao Ming:
"Ming'er, bring your younger sister to my place. I've set aside some frozen tofu for you, come get some to cook."
Wen Zhaoming knew that Fifth Uncle had something to say to her, so she nodded and led Yueyue into Fifth Uncle's courtyard.
Old Mister Su then had the servant unload everything Miss ordered to be brought from the carriage and moved it to the front of the house for Wen Zhaoming to sort through.
On the other side, a carriage with ripples stopped at the village head's doorstep. The children who were having a snowball fight outside immediately ran inside to call the village head.
"The village head's wife, there are guests at your doorstep."
"Village Chief, we have guests!"
This group of little kids can talk quite well.
After hearing this, Wen Jiahong shrunk her shoulders and walked out of the house. Then she saw a carriage and a few familiar faces. She immediately ran over and pulled open the courtyard gate, respectfully saying:
"I had no idea we had such esteemed guests. Please come in."
At this time, Lian Yi was already helping An He out of the carriage. She politely said to Wen Jia Hong:
"I apologize for intruding, I came here specially to visit the village head. May I ask if she is available"
"Mother is in the house, please invite Miss Su inside."
Wen Jiahong welcomed people into the house.
At this time, the village head also dressed and came out from the inner room. Seeing ripples, he was stunned for a moment, hesitated, and asked:
"This is
"
"Mother, this is Miss Su, the mistress of Sujiazhuang. She went to save Yueyue before, and we shamelessly borrowed a horse from Miss Su's estate."
Wen Jiahong immediately explained.
"It's Miss Su! I apologize for not welcoming you properly. Thank you for helping us with things before, we should have visited to express our gratitude. My apologies for overlooking it."
The village head was a good talker, and he led Ripples to take her seat in the main position.
"The village chief was being too polite. Today, Wen Xiaogge and his sister came to my farm to apologize."
After the ripples settled, she smiled softly and said.
“This child didn't even tell me, I would have arranged for Jiā Hóng to go with him.”
The village chief spoke with an apologetic face.
"It's fine, thank you for receiving it, I really like this cloak."
The ripples touched the rabbit fur cloak on its body and said.
The village chief's heart skipped a beat after hearing this, he paused for a moment before continuing.
"I wonder what brings Miss Su to see me"
“I really have something to trouble the village head about. I heard that Wen Xiaogé's parents are both gone, his own uncle almost sold his sister, and his aunt has nothing to do with him, so I could only come to the village head to propose marriage.”
Ripple said with a composed expression.
"A proposal!"
The village head and Wen Jiahong were both taken aback. After a long silence, Wen Jiahong swallowed hard and said:
"Miss Su's meaning is that she wants to marry Mingger"
"That's right! How can I refuse when I saved his sister twice A life for a life, isn't that the way it should be"
Ming'er, are you willing
Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have come to the village head about this.
"But Ming Ge'er is still in her mourning period."
"I know, I'm also in my filial piety period, so let's get engaged first and get married when my filial piety period is over."
"Miss Su, I still need to ask Mingge about this matter. After all, it's his life-long event."
After thinking for a moment, the village head said.
"This is natural, I, Su, am at least a student. I wouldn't do anything that goes against people's wishes. Tomorrow, I will have an official messenger come to propose marriage. Please be prepared, Village Chief."
Ripple smiled with glee.
I understand.
The village head could only agree, then politely sent Ripple away.
After the ripples subsided, the village head sat in his chair with a sullen face, lost in thought.
And then Wen Jiahong scratched his head and finally spoke.
"Mother, isn't this a good thing Why aren't you happy"
"Mingger, this is heartbroken and doesn't want to stay in Wenjia Village anymore."
The village head sighed.
This time, Wen Jiabao disapproves of:
No matter what Ming'er feels, this is his home. Wherever he marries, he will always be from Wenzhuang Village. If he marries well, he could become our Wenzhuang Village's support in the future.
"You're right. Pack up and come with me to Mingge'r's place. We need him to agree to this himself."
The village head perked up.
On the other side, Wen Xiaoxiao, who had been beaten with a bruised nose and swollen face, touched the house of her grandmother, Wen Daniu. She meowed twice to call her out, and then said:
"Madam, I couldn't complete your task and got beaten up."e corner to lower her presence. In fact, she was secretly stuffing high-energy bars into her mouth, slowly softening them with saliva before swallowing. She wouldn't starve herself; it was safer to ea...
