Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity
Chapter 469 Proposal
At this time, Sheng Xuan and Zhang were making a fire and cooking with the maids and servants in the house. Several of Shen Liu's followers were also there. Some of them were skinning prey by the stream. Xiao Lan took a closer look and saw that they were all pheasants, rabbits, roe deer and other animals.
However, only Shen Liu's followers were here, while the others were still hunting in the mountains and forests. They hunted these prey and then sent them out to prepare lunch.
When everyone saw Shen Liu coming back, they stopped what they were doing and saluted him. Shen Liu waved his hand and asked them to continue. At this time, Sheng Xuan and Zhang also came over, greeted Shen Liu first, and then took Xiao Lan aside to talk.
"Didn't I tell you not to go hunting with me? You're a girl, what if you get bumped or hit?" Zhang looked at Xiaolan from head to toe, and seeing that her daughter was intact by her side, she whispered. Zhang and Sheng Xuan both thought that Xiaolan went hunting, and the reason for the couple's misunderstanding was probably related to Shen Liu's followers, Xiaolan thought.
"Mom, I'm back." Xiao Lan said with a smile.
Soon Xiaowen returned from the dense forest with the others, and they had a good harvest. Then everyone had their meal at separate tables. After the meal, everyone cleaned up and went home.
After returning home, the family was still excited. Sheng Xuan drank some wine with the game, and under the influence of alcohol, he couldn't help but praise Shen Liu a few words, "When we had dinner today, I made an appointment with Master Liu. Master Liu said that he would be free tomorrow and come to our house to continue drinking tomorrow..."
The next day, Shen Liu arrived as expected.
Sheng Xuan and Xiao Wen greeted Shen Liu at the gate and asked him to sit in the living room. Today, Xiao Lan's family invited Shen Liu alone, and Shen Liu came alone with a few followers. After they sat down, the two sides exchanged greetings, and then the servants served tea and snacks.
After all, Shen Liu was different from an outsider, so Sheng Xuan sent someone to send a letter to Zhang and Xiao Lan, asking them to come over and pay their respects to Shen Liu. However, when Zhang saluted him, he stood up and avoided her.
Sheng Xuan, Xiao Wen and Zhang were secretly surprised, not only because Shen Liu agreed to come to their house, but also because of Shen Liu's attitude towards the family today. Shen Liu was particularly polite and gentle to them today, and he was very humble today, and he didn't even accept the courtesy of Zhang and Sheng Xuan. Although Shen Liu was very polite to Sheng Xuan and Zhang in the past, this was the first time he didn't accept the courtesy.
Xiao Wen's mind was quite agile. Shen Liu would not do this for no reason, but why would Shen Liu do this? He glanced at Xiao Lan subconsciously, and vaguely guessed something in his heart.
Xiao Lan knew clearly that Shen Liu came here today, nominally for Sheng Xuan's invitation to drink, but his real purpose was to propose marriage to Sheng Xuan. It was not convenient for her to stay here for long, so after the ceremony, she immediately returned to the inner house. Zhang naturally followed Xiao Lan back, after all, the front hall was the place to receive male guests. Although she was the hostess of the house, under the ancient system, men and women could not sit at the same table.
"Did Sixth Master encounter any happy event today?" Zhang chatted with Xiao Lan, "I think Sixth Master's complexion is different today than usual. He must have encountered a happy event, and it must be a big happy event..."
Shen Liu is a person who keeps his anger to himself, but today even Zhang could see that he was happy. It has to be said that Shen Liu was very happy today.
Zhang seemed to be quite interested in Shen Liu's behavior today, and continued to talk to Xiao Lan, "I just don't know what the happy event is. Xiao Lan, have you heard any news?"
Xiao Lan felt a little uncomfortable after hearing what Zhang said, but she didn't show it. Then she heard Zhang say, "You are much more informed than I am. If there is anything I don't know, you must be able to see the clues."
Xiao Lan just responded vaguely and didn't say anything. Zhang was a little surprised. Usually Xiao Lan was most interested in these gossips. What was wrong with her daughter today?
Before Zhang could figure out her daughter's strange behavior today, Sheng Xuan sent someone over again. "The master said that Madam, please come to the front and say a few words." The little girl who came to deliver the message reported to Zhang.
"Let me go to the front. Didn't I just go there?" Although Zhang was puzzled, she still got off the bed and put on her shoes. "What did the master say?" Sheng Xuan was entertaining guests in the front hall. It was the first time that Zhang ran back and forth to the front hall. And this time he didn't bring Xiao Lan with him, which was even more unreasonable. After all, no matter whether it was a big or small matter at home, Sheng Xuan would discuss it with Xiao Lan.
"I didn't say what it was, I just asked Madam to hurry up." said the little girl.
"Mom, then you go." Xiao Lan said.
As Zhang was talking, she stood up and walked towards the front hall with a few maids.
Soon Zhang came back. Xiao Lan looked up at Zhang's face and knew that Shen Liu had already discussed the marriage. When Zhang came back, her steps were unsteady, her face was flushed, and her hands were shaking. Xiao Lan knew that this was because Zhang was too nervous. She had had this expression when Xiao Ting got married and when Xiao Wen passed the imperial examination.
"Xiao Lan...your father just told me that the Sixth Master...is here to propose marriage..." Zhang sat down, took a breath, and immediately sent the servants out. Then she said to Xiao Lan solemnly, "The Sixth Master said he wants to marry you..."
Xiao Lan lowered her head slightly and just said "oh" softly.
At this time, Zhang heard something from her daughter's voice. Although Zhang was not smart, as Xiaolan's mother, she had been with Xiaolan for so many years. At this time, she vaguely guessed something from Xiaolan's attitude. "Your father called me over just now to ask you if you agree with this marriage."
"Sixth Master came to propose marriage, but my father didn't agree?" Xiao Lan was a little surprised and looked up to ask Zhang.
"Yes, your father hasn't agreed yet. Shouldn't we ask your opinion first?" Zhang said as a matter of course. Although Shen Liu came to propose marriage today, they still had to listen to their own child's opinion first.
