Chapter 216: The man on the road is like jade, a gentleman without peer in the world 7, 8
The Li family went to the Hua Mansion to propose marriage, and the journey was grand and vigorous, attracting many passers-by to see.
"Has our capital's number one young master found a girl he likes?"
"Looking from this direction, it's the residence of the Minister of Rites. I wonder which girl has this blessing."
Hua Yan stayed in the yard, drinking tea and eating sweets, enjoying the cool autumn breeze, feeling very comfortable.
There was a lot of noise outside, Hua Yan put down the tea in his hand and said, "Xue Tao, go see what happened in the mansion?"
As Xue Tao walked out of the room, Aunt Wan came towards her, "Aunt Wan."
"Is Yan'er in there?"
"Here I am."
Hua Yan got up when he heard the voice and saw Aunt Wan coming in with a smile, "Mother, why are you here?"
"Xue Tao, hurry up and dress up Yan Er. Make sure she looks beautiful."
"Mom, what's going on?"
Aunt Wan patted the back of her hand and said with a smile, "The Li family came to propose marriage today. It's to you."
"He is the most handsome young man in the capital. I heard from Xue Tao a few days ago that you and Young Master Li took a boat trip to the lake to enjoy the flowers. Are you in love with him?"
"Li Luochen came to propose marriage in person?"
Aunt Wan shook her head. "It was Madam Li. She came in person."
"Hurry up and get dressed. I'll take you to the main hall."
When Madam Li saw Hua Yan coming out, she held her hand and said hello several times, "You are so pretty, kind, and elegant."
"This birth date is also very suitable for my son! It will bring prosperity!"
After listening for a while, Hua Yan roughly understood what was going on.
Madam Li thought that she was the girl that Li Luochen liked, and was afraid that she would be engaged to Hua Yan's childhood sweetheart, the young marquis, in advance, so she immediately prepared things and came to the Hua Mansion to propose marriage.
Minister Hua coughed twice and said, "Although our ancestors' rule is that children's marriages are decided by their parents and matchmakers, we still have to respect Yan'er's wishes."
Hua Yan smiled sincerely and said, "Thank you, father."
The eldest sister interrupted: "She is still disgusted by the chance to marry Mr. Li?"
After giving her father a look, my eldest sister became obedient and shut her mouth silently.
Why couldn't I control my mouth?
Hua Yan agreed to the marriage.
That night, Xuetao was startled by a young man who suddenly appeared in the yard.
"Little, young marquis, it's not good for you to come here so late."
Xue Tao was not welcome to Xie Yuan's appearance. Her young lady had just got engaged today, and he appeared in Hua Yan's yard in the middle of the night. If others saw it and spread it, it might damage the young lady's reputation.
"Is your young lady asleep?"
"I just went to bed, you should go back, young marquis."
Xie Yuan didn't move. The lanterns on the eaves cast a faint yellow glow on his three-dimensional facial features.
Xuetao stood under the eaves, yawning and looking resentfully at the young man outside the eaves from time to time.
Can't let me go back to sleep?
There was a cool strong wind, lightning and thunder, and it was about to rain.
[Hua Yan, the male lead is waiting for you outside]
"I've waited enough. He will come back." Hua Yan lay on the bed, looking at the dark tent ceiling. Lightning flashed outside from time to time, and the room suddenly became as bright as day.
[It's just a pity for the workers, your maid is still outside staring at the male protagonist]
Hua Yan immediately lifted the quilt and walked to the window, "Xue Tao, go back to sleep first, there's no need to wait here."
"Miss, you are still awake."
"Go to sleep."
"But the young marquis..."
"obedient."
After Xue Tao left, Xie Yuan stared at the half-closed window with his deep eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Hua Yan, did you agree to the marriage with the Li family voluntarily?"
------
Strangers are like jade, and gentlemen are unparalleled in the world 8
crackling-
The raindrops as big as beans hit the eaves and the leaves, making a flapping sound.
Xie Yuan didn't move at all, letting the rain hit his body, soon wetting his hair and clothes.
"Yes, I agreed to the marriage immediately."
Hearing this, Xie Yuan's body swayed unsteadily.
Hua Yan sighed, "Xie Yuan, you will leave the capital with the army tomorrow, go back, and don't ruin your body."
The next day, the rain was still falling and the person outside the door was gone.
"Miss, Mr. Li is here to see you." Xue Tao said with a smile.
At the back door of the Li Mansion, Li Luochen and the servants around him were waiting.
Seeing the door open, Li Luochen hurried forward and folded his arms: "I went to the suburbs yesterday, but I didn't expect my mother to come to propose marriage."
"If you don't want to, you can go directly to the Li Mansion to cancel the engagement. I will never make things difficult for Miss Hua San."
Hua Yan looked at him with amusement. His slightly messy hair and muddy boots made him look like he had just returned from the suburbs and heard about his engagement, so he hurried over.
Li Luochen felt inexplicably nervous when she stared at him like that.
In fact, he had seen her from a distance before.
On the prosperous street, her sisters were picking things with surprise, but she was the only one looking at everything around her indifferently, seemingly not interested in any of these things.
He knew that Third Miss Hua and the young marquis of Lin'an Prefecture had been childhood sweethearts, and that they were a perfect match, so everyone thought they would get married.
Only that time on the Lotus Lake did he truly know her.
She introduced herself to him, "I am Hua Yan, the daughter of the Minister of Rites."
Hua Yan chuckled, "Li Luochen, I am the one who decided to marry you."
Li Luochen was stunned. "Why?"
Hasn't the person she likes always been the young marquis Xie Yuan?
"Mr. Li is well-educated, young and promising, and more importantly, handsome. In fact, I like him very much, too."
He felt a little embarrassed to be praised in person, but when he heard the straightforward confession that followed, a blush gradually appeared on his handsome face.
The whole person looks like a shy and almost cooked shrimp.
"Thank you very much for your appreciation, young lady."
On the way back, Li Luochen's face was still red.
"Sir, your face is still red, why don't we go to the infirmary?"
Xiao Si asked worriedly.
"No, it's a bit hot today."
Li Luochen knew why his face turned red, because his mind was still lingering over what Miss Hua San had said.
Xiao Si was just confused because the temperature was getting lower day by day as autumn approached.
Sir, you said yesterday that you needed to put on a cloak, why do you feel hot today?
She and he were to get married in March.
Hua Yan asked Xue Tao to send an invitation to Li Luochen, wanting to go to the Guoling Temple in the suburbs to pray for blessings before the wedding.
Li Luochen agreed, and the two agreed to meet at the city entrance.
When Hua Yan saw Li Luochen's outfit outside the city, he couldn't help but take a few more glances. His style was different from before.
This time the clothes were more colorful and exquisite, which made his handsome face look more charming.
Li Luochen noticed that her eyes were on him, and his hand gripping the sleeve of his clothes tightened.
Li Luochen's Xiao Si certainly noticed his master's emotions.
His master got up early in the morning, changed several sets of clothes, and then hurriedly drove the carriage to the city gate.
It was the first time he saw Li Luochen wearing such brightly colored clothes.
The two of them went to Guoling Temple to burn incense. The weather was good today and many people came.
