Chapter 431： Set off to leave

Chapter 431 Departure

"Yes, yes!" Pan Xiuniang agreed from the side, "Although my little Qiao didn't officially call Mrs. Wan her husband, Ms. Wan also taught her a lot. That child is a grateful person and comes over every now and then to talk to Ms. Wan. , we are here, you don’t have to worry.”

Yang Xiaoya solemnly thanked Pan Xiuniang and gave her an extra one hundred taels.

Pan Xiuniang was so frightened that she refused repeatedly, "What are you doing? Why did you give me the banknote? Take it back quickly!"

Yang Xiaoya said sincerely, "Mom, please keep this money for me and occasionally buy something for your husband. If he needs medical advice, you can help him with it. If it's not enough, just go to Rongshu Village and ask my housekeeper for some money."

“Then there’s no need for so much!” Pan Xiuniang was a little afraid to take it.

。

Yang Xiaoya smiled and said, "It's okay! Just keep it!"

Pan Xiuniang could only collect the banknote.

Yang Xiaoya was relieved to go back.

When she returned to the village, she saw that Xu Nuoyan was not there. After asking, she found out that she and Li had gone to Yang Han's house with a matchmaker to propose marriage.

Yang Han went into the mountains early in the morning and came back in the evening.

As soon as he arrived at his door, he saw several women surrounding his door.

The matchmaker spotted him with sharp eyes, and immediately shouted at the top of her voice, "Hey! This must be Mr. Yang Han!"

The sound of "Master" made Yang Han's body stiffen for a moment. After he recovered, he stepped forward without leaving a trace. His eyes fell on the familiar Li family. He seemed to feel something and opened the courtyard door first to invite them in.

Yang Han's house is still the same. He is a single man living in a small place. It looks very spacious, but it is a bit messy and the corners are full of dust. No! It should be said that except for the kitchen room and the main room, other places were so dirty that you couldn't even see it.

Fortunately, no one dislikes it.

The matchmaker muttered too much, "It's really hard not to have a mistress in this house! Mr. Yang Han, I happen to know a few widows with good conditions over there. Do you want to consider it?"

Li gave the matchmaker a fierce look, dissatisfied, "Hey! Don't forget what you came to do!"

The matchmaker laughed twice and slapped herself, "I'm used to it, I'm used to it! Don't be angry, old lady."

As she spoke, she hurriedly said to Yang Han warmly: "Mr. Yang Han, I am a famous matchmaker in Dashan Town. My surname is Chen. You can just call me Matchmaker Chen. You must have guessed the purpose of our visit.

I am not exaggerating. Looking at the entire Quzhou Prefecture, who can be as wealthy as our Guangenhou Prefecture? Not to mention that Young Master Yang is still a new Jinshi! This condition is enough to marry a princess."

Li couldn't stand it and kicked the matchmaker, "Let's get to the point!"

Matchmaker Chen was in pain, but she dared not say anything in anger. She tugged the corner of her mouth and said, "Young Master Yang, Yang Changsong, is very pleased with your girl. Marquis Guangen intends to marry your family. We have brought the betrothal gift. Is Mr. Yang Han willing?" ?”

Yang Han breathed a sigh of relief and ignored Matchmaker Chen. Instead, he looked at Li, "Master Hou has told me in advance, and Xiaohua also sent someone to send a letter back. Since the children are willing, it's me who will do the triathlon again." Looking at the grown-ups, I naturally won’t object, so let’s just do it!”

"Okay, okay!" Matchmaker Chen stood up happily, quickly took out the betrothal gift list, cleared her throat, and was interrupted by Yang Han when she was about to read, "Needless to say, I already know it, what else do you want me to do? "

Matchmaker Chen choked for a moment, as if it was the first time she saw someone who was marrying a daughter so careless about the betrothal gift. It took her a while to recover, and she murmured: "The next step is to exchange invitations and ask someone to pick an auspicious day. Marriage, it’s just that Young Master Yang has been appointed by the emperor to stay in the capital, and I’m afraid he won’t be able to come back to get married. This is the focus of their visit today.

Xu Nuoyan had been silent just now, and now he asked politely: "Uncle Han, can you go to the capital?"

Yang Han shook his head without thinking much, "I can't go."

Li Shi stared in surprise, "Why can't you go? Yang Han! This is Xiaohua's life-long event. It's not that Santie doesn't want to come back to get married, but it's just that we really can't leave. We can't keep putting it off, right?"

If you're worried about the money, it's easy to handle. After all, it's our family who invited you to the capital, so we will naturally have to bear all the expenses for your trip. Moreover, we also have a **** team. If we all go together, there won't be any danger. "

Yang Han’s mouth twitched slightly, but his face was still paralyzed, “Auntie, that’s not what I meant. I have things to do in the mountains and can’t leave, and the capital is too far away, so I don’t want to bother.

However, the children are old and there really is no time to delay. In this case, I wrote a letter to ask my old friend to help. When the time comes, Xiaohua will marry from my old friend's family. It will be the same with their help. "

“Do you still have old friends in the capital?” Li was shocked.

Xu Nuoyan and Chen Matchmaker also looked over.

Yang Han was very helpless, "Auntie, I have served in the military before. For so many years in the military camp, I have always had some friends who have been friends by fate. We are all from different places and have different family backgrounds. The capital is at the foot of the emperor. I have an old friend there. Isn’t that normal?”

Everyone suddenly realized.

Ms. Li patted her forehead in annoyance, "If you didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten these things! That's fair to say."

The brother who had a life-long friendship with Yang Han was of good character, so she didn't have to worry about the complications in the marriage.

Matchmaker Chen did not expect that things would go so smoothly. The marriage was completed before the cup of tea had even cooled down.

Once she was happy, she started talking about something else, and Mrs. Li quickly dragged her out and said goodbye.

Yang Han closed the courtyard door and breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling relaxed all over.

After finishing this matter, Xu Nuoyan completed all the tasks of returning to the village. She had a dinner with Old Man Li Yang and the others that night, and she left the village with Yang Xiaoya and the children before dawn the next day. .

First pick up Mrs. Zhou in the town, and then set off to the capital together.

The summer heat is scorching in Beijing in July. On such a day, adults don’t want to move, but children are full of energy and always want to run outside.

Jiang Ning couldn't deceive him, so he took his maid and mother-in-law to the kitchen to make some refreshing desserts to cool down the heat.

In this dynasty, ice in summer was a luxury product. The most common summer dessert eaten by nobles and nobles was ice and snow cold yuanzi, which was made with ice, sweet glutinous rice and milk. It tasted similar to modern smoothies and sugar water, and was eaten by ordinary people. Sorry.

Their family does have this condition, but Jiang Ning thinks it is a waste and eating smoothies in the summer is not good for the body, so he has not bothered with it.

Ordinary people’s way to relieve the heat is to boil lotus seed soup or herbal tea and put it in a well to cool down. It tastes sweet and refreshing, and after a bowl, the whole body will be cooled down a lot.

There are children at home, so she plans to make a pot of Xiangzhi cold cake using Xiangzhi and brown sugar rice milk, and then boil some sweet red bean paste, pea yellow, and sugar water, put them together in the well to stabilize the water, and then bring them up when they are almost cool. , add a little of each when eating, and top with sugar water for a unique taste.
