Chapter 177 Lin Yi proposes marriage (4k)

Lin Yi stayed in the ghost mirror for a long time, but when he came out of the mirror, he found that he was still in his second chapter.

It seems that time in the ghost mirror is slightly slower than in the human world.

Lying on the bed, Lin Yi felt mixed emotions.

He worshiped the famous Yang God in the legend, and the latter helped him open his spiritual source and enter the immortal path.

At the same time, he was also touched by the emotions between the Yang God and the Yin God.

Be able to cross different boundaries and stay together in a gray area.

Even if the Yin God’s lower body turned into stone, the Yang God still would not leave, and transformed the originally barren place into a paradise.

When he saw the eyes between Yang Shen and Yin Shen, Lin Yi couldn't help but think of Su Xiu'er.

Since arriving in Shoulin City, Su Xiuer has always looked at him differently.

Perhaps, this is a kind of fate.

At first, Lin Yi was not attracted to Su Xiu'er, but as time went by, everything Su Xiu'er did for Lin Yi made Lin Yi gradually change his view.

High-end hunters often appear in the form of prey.

Lin Yi originally just wanted to tease her, but he didn't expect that he would be teased.

After tossing and turning on the bed for a long time, Lin Yi fell asleep hastily until the fish belly turned white.

......

Enter Cao Dahua's house.

"Bang, bang, bang."

Cao Dahua sucked back the saliva from his mouth, reluctantly crawled out of the warm bed, and shouted at the door Said: "Who is it, disturbing people's dreams so early in the morning and preventing them from sleeping!"

"Squeak..."

As soon as the door opened, Cao Dahua was surprised. Said: "Brother Lin, is there anything urgent so early?"

Lin Yi rarely came to see Cao Dahua, let alone this early in the morning. There were only a handful of them before. Every time, there is something particularly important.

"Yes." After Lin Yi finished speaking, he took Cao Dahua's hand and said, "Let's go to Big Brother's place now."

Cao Dahua was buttoning his clothes while He yelled: "Oh...oh...don't worry, I have to wash my face at least now!"

At Duolong's house.

"Sir, there are two adults looking for you at the door."

Dolon was covered with a quilt, and a pair of hands quietly stretched out from under the quilt...

"Oh, sir, don't make trouble, slave. There are really two adults outside looking for you."

Doron then got out of the quilt, looked at his palms, and said with a smile: "Recently, there are two adults. She's a little plumper."

"Disgusting!"

After teasing for a few more times, Duolong asked seriously: "Which two adults came to see you early in the morning? Me?"

"The slaves only know one named Lin and the other named Cao."

"Lin...Cao....What? ! "

Duolong jumped out of bed in a hurry, and while getting dressed in a hurry, he said: "Why don't you report early!" ”

“My slave has already told my lord that you don’t want to get up, but you still tease me.” "

"Stop talking about this, come on, help me change my clothes! "

After a while, Duolong was buttoning his clothes and wearing reverse-turned shoes. He walked three steps in two steps all the way to the main room. When he saw Lin Yi and Cao Dahua in the distance, he shouted loudly: "Lin Yi Brother, Brother Cao, what kind of wind brings you two distinguished guests to my place? It really makes me shine! "

As soon as Duolong entered the main room, he was blocked by Lin Yi and Cao Dahua on the left and right.

"You two... what are you doing... , Although I, Duolong, am a little late to welcome guests, there is no need to trouble me..."

"Who wants to trouble you? "Cao Dahua said angrily.

Lin Yi came up and whispered: "Brother, I want to ask you and Brother Cao to help me do something very important! "

......

Duolong paced back and forth in the hall, talking to Lin Yi and Cao Dahua, while a servant kept taking notes with a pen.< /p>

"The wedding etiquette here must follow the 'six etiquettes', one is to accept the bride, the second is to ask for the name, the third is to accept the auspiciousness, the fourth is to receive the invitation, the fifth is to ask for the date, and the sixth is to welcome the bride. To be accepted, you need to go through a small ceremony to negotiate the marriage first. For a family with a little bit of appearance, usually "four magenta" or "six magenta", that is, four to six pieces of silk and satin clothing, two gold rings, a pair of gold earrings; some silver taels; food , the number is 'sixty-four', that is, sixty-four pairs of steamed buns, sixty-four oil buns, sixty-four sesame cakes, etc. There are also two to eight loads of aged wine, so the girl has 'old wine' It is called "甏". ”

“Brother Lin, you have an official title now, which is no better than that of an ordinary family. What’s more, the other party is the daughter of the Su family, the richest man in Shoulin City. This betrothal gift cannot be regarded as conventional. In my opinion, , it needs to be discussed in the long term..."

While Duolong explained the engagement process to Lin Yi and Cao Dahua, two bachelors who have never married a wife and taken a concubine, they discussed together what to prepare as a betrothal gift.

At noon that day, many people from the Yamen went to the street to purchase the items on the list.

Mencius once said: "Don't wait for your parents' orders, just follow the matchmaker's advice. If you peek at each other through gaps or follow each other across the wall, your parents and the people of the country will be despised."

In ancient times, if you want to get married, you must have a matchmaker. "A man cannot marry a wife without a matchmaker, and a woman cannot marry a husband without a matchmaker." .

Matchmakers can also be divided into official matchmakers and private matchmakers. In ancient times, men were matchmakers and women were matchmakers. Later, matchmakers mostly referred to women.

Lin Yi invited Cao Dahua and Duo. Duolong acted as a matchmaker for himself, but that was an official matchmaker!

But Duolong said: "Brother Lin, as far as I can see, onlyIf you are willing to open your mouth, you can definitely persuade someone to be a matchmaker for you. If that person acts as a matchmaker for you, he will have more face than Brother Cao and I combined. "

Cao Dahua couldn't help asking: "Oh? Who is that person? "

Lin Yi replied for Duolong: "Brother Da Da must be talking about the county magistrate, Mr. Huang. ”

“That’s right! "

......

What Duolong said is indeed correct.

With Lin Yi's current status and his relationship with Huang Zhixian, plus Cao Dahua and Duolong were invited together, but Huang Zhixian couldn't refuse, so he happily accepted it.

It is a good thing for people of this generation to propose marriage, not to mention that the person proposing marriage is the Su family. As a matchmaker, the reward for both parties is huge. Indispensable.

It is definitely a good thing to be able to sell a favor to Lin Yi, give Su Can a lot of face, and accept gifts from both parties as a matter of course.

At the same time, as the county magistrate, he can put down his social status and personally mediate for his subordinates. This is also a good story among the people of Shoulin City.

"This is a good thing, I am. Yes, Lin Yi, tell me, when are you going to propose marriage? "

Lin Yi replied: "Tomorrow is an auspicious time at noon! "

"Okay, let's go together tomorrow. ”

......

While the yamen servants and police officers were going around buying betrothal gifts, the news that Lin Yi was going to propose marriage to Su Xiuer spread throughout Shoulin. City.

This news cannot escape the well-informed Su family.

“Miss, Miss! "

Xiang'er hurried through the corridor and ran excitedly to Su Xiu'er's room.

Su Xiu'er was concentrating on embroidering a pair of mandarin ducks, when suddenly the door was pushed open. Seeing Xiang'er gasping for breath, Su Xiu'er was angry and pitiful, and said: "Xiang'er, why did you forget what I said again? To come in, knock on the door first. Look at how you're panting. What's got you so excited? "

"Miss, hee hee hee..."

Xiang'er came close to Su Xiu'er's ear and whispered a few words.

I saw Su Xiu'er With a shake of his hands, the embroidered handkerchief fell on the table, and his face instantly turned red.

“Seriously? ”

“It’s absolutely true! After hearing the instructions, I will come to propose marriage! "

Su Xiu'er stood up from the table, took a few steps, and said quickly: "It smells so good. Come and help me try on the Feng Guan Xia Phi in the cabinet."

Xiang'er scratched her little face with her hands and laughed at Su Xiu'er: "Miss wants to get married, miss wants to get married!" "

......

In the evening, Huang Zhixian was about to leave the Yamen and take a sedan chair back home, when suddenly Ding Song came to the door.

"Uncle ! ”

Ding Song staggered into the house, smelling of alcohol and frivolous on his feet.

Seeing Ding Song’s appearance, Huang Zhixian got an idea.

"Stop, talk to me, look at what you look like now!"

Ding Song sat down on the chair. Before he could speak, a few tears flowed from his eyes.

The master brought a cup of hot tea to the person who was waiting beside him. The government officials waved, and then everyone left knowingly.

When the master left, he turned around and closed the door gently.

"Man, why are you crying?"

Huang Zhixian stood up, walked to the chair next to Ding Song and sat down. He pushed the hot tea to Ding Song and said, "If you have anything to say, let's drink the hot tea first." "

Ding Song wiped his tears, picked up the tea and took a few sips. He seemed to wake up a little from the alcohol.

Putting the tea down, Ding Song said: "Uncle, I heard that Lin Yi asked you to go to the Su Mansion to propose marriage on his behalf. Is this relevant? "

Huang Zhixian knew that Ding Song's coming was related to this matter, and now it is confirmed.

"Hey. "Huang Zhixian sighed first, and then said, "Yes, I have promised Lin Yi that I will help him propose marriage to Su Mansion tomorrow. "

Hearing Huang Zhixian's personal admission, Ding Song said excitedly: "Uncle, you clearly know that I am full of affection for that Su Xiu'er. It's okay if you don't help me, but you actually help outsiders to seize my property. like! I...I..."

In desperation, Ding Song, who was always eloquent, stuttered.

Huang Zhixian stood up and said displeasedly: "You I like her Su Xiuer. Does she Su Xiuer like you? "

One sentence made Ding Song shut up.

"A man has his ambitions in all directions, how can he only focus on the love between men and women. What's more, Lin Yi is the number one talent in my yamen, and he will definitely be able to help me achieve a career in the future. Since he and Su Xiu'er are in love, me selling a favor to him is just the icing on the cake. How can I help others? To steal what you love? "

In fact, people like Ding Song have known the truth for a long time, but they are just unwilling to face the reality and want Huang Zhixian to help them.

"Uncle, nephew Please, can you use your power to stop Lin Yi from proposing marriage? I...I will definitely get Su Xiuer's hand as soon as possible..."

"You bastard! "Huang Zhixian scolded angrily.

"You didn't listen at all to what I said, so there's no need to say more, just go ahead! "

Ding Song didn't expect that before he could say a few words, Huang Zhixian, his uncle, issued an order to expel him.

"Uncle! "

Huang Zhixian turned his back to Ding Song and ignored him.

"Hi! ”

Ding Song shook his sleeves angrily and left angrily.

After leaving the yamen, Ding Song, whose mentality was already unbalanced, showed a sinister expression on his face and went straight to the north gate. Went to...

...

At night

Lin Yi finished drinking with Cao Dahua and Duolong in the backyard of Lin Mansion. After drinking, I took advantage of the excitement and wrote a poem for Su Xiu'er.

At the auspicious time of noon the next day, Jia Xiazi calculated the time.On this morning, Lin Yi's proposing team set off from the Yamen in a mighty manner and headed towards the Su Mansion.

Lin Yi was wearing a festive red dress, standing on a tall horse, walking in front of the team.

On both sides, there was Cao Dahua on one side and Duolong on the other, each leading twelve guards with swords to follow Lin Yi.

In the middle of the team is the sedan chair of Huangzhi County.

After that came twenty porters carrying the bride price.

At the end of the team, twelve more guards with swords came forward.

The team was interspersed with people holding plaques and beating gongs and drums.

The formation of the marriage proposal attracted the attention of the people of Shoulin City.

"Hey, that young man on the horse is Lin Yi, he is really a talented person."

"Isn't that right? I heard that this man turned out to be from the Kirigakure Sect. Later, he was appreciated by the yamen and promoted to the staff officer of the Shoulin Army. It can be said that he rose to the top in one step. "

"What does this mean? You still don't know who is sitting in that sedan chair, right? But Mr. Huang, the county magistrate.”

“What did he do next, magistrate Huang?”

“Of course he proposed marriage for Lin Yi.”

"What? Such a young man has such a big reputation? I thought it was Mr. Cao and Mr. Duo who were with him to help him propose the marriage."

"There is a saying Okay, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don’t bully young people into poverty. This Lin Yi is a good example!”

......

Come on. When we arrived at the door of Su Mansion, there were already people from Su Mansion waiting for us.

Su Can and several relatives of the Su family greeted him personally.

After Lin Yi dismounted, he bowed to Su Can and said, "Uncle Su, my nephew Lin Yi would like to send you my regards."

"Okay, okay."

Su Can's face was filled with an unstoppable smile.

Su Can is very satisfied with Lin Yi, his son-in-law.

Then, Lin Yi, Cao Dahua, Duolong and others greeted Huang Zhixian, and a group of people, accompanied by Su Can and others, talked at the door of Su Mansion.

The onlookers were on three floors inside and three outside, and the gate of Su Mansion was surrounded by water.

At the door, Duolong personally read out the list of betrothal gifts.

As Duolong read out, the gift he read was sent to the Su Mansion.

"Two dans of thirty-year-old flower carvings..."

"Two dans of fifty-year-old daughter's red..."

"Gold Two pairs each of bracelets, gold necklaces, and gold earrings..."

"One jade Ruyi..."

Loads of valuable betrothal gifts were sent to the Su Mansion.

Lin Yi spent almost all his wealth on this betrothal gift.

Even so, compared to the Su Mansion, which has a huge family fortune, this betrothal gift is sparse and ordinary.

Even the jade Ruyi was given by Huang Zhixian himself so that Lin Yi’s betrothal gift would not be too shabby. It was regarded as an advance gift for Lin Yi’s marriage..

However, the last three betrothal gifts surprised everyone.

"A pair of specially made Lin Xiu gloves, invulnerable to fire, water and water, and invulnerable to swords and guns!"

This gift was read out by Duolong, and the whole place exploded in an instant.

“Oh, there are also these Lin Xiu gloves!”

“Invulnerable to fire, invulnerable to water flow, and invulnerable to swords and guns, how can they be so magical?”

"I'm afraid this is one of a kind. How much is this glove worth?"

"I'm afraid it's hard to buy it for a thousand dollars."

Then Duolong read again.

"Two pieces of special women's underwear."

When Su Xiu'er heard this betrothal gift in the room, her pretty face immediately turned red...

"Brother Lin, you can just give this to me, but you actually recited it in public. It really embarrasses me..."

The people outside were stunned.

"Women's underwear? How come there is such a sexy-sounding betrothal gift..."

"Oh, by the way, I have heard of this. It is said that the daughter of a wealthy family in Shoulin City This kind of women's underwear has quietly become popular."

"Really? You know? Then tell us!"

Lin Yi's two betrothal gifts, First, they did some advertising for gloves, and then they also promoted a handful of women's underwear.

Finally, Duolong thought.

"Consultant Lin Yilin wrote a poem specially for Miss Su Xiuer."

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone shut their mouths, including the one who was standing in front of the door. Huang Zhixian, Su Can and others were chatting.

Everyone wants to hear with their own ears what Lin Yi wrote in the poems he wrote for Su Xiuer.
