After saying this, Liu Rumei turned around and said, "Just now you said that Xiaowen's cabbage can't be given away."
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "Yes, the soldiers guarding the warehouse told him that they were about to leave."
But this time Liu Rumei just frowned slightly and said nothing more.
But Chen Xiaowen's house became lively. After all, he had received a reward from the prince. Chen Xiaowen was of course overjoyed, and the villagers gathered around and talked about it.
Chen Dayong even said to Chen Xiaowen with an envious look, "Brother, you are now a celebrity in the neighboring villages. Take advantage of this momentum and quickly marry Peony."
Chen Xiaowen chuckled and said, "I want it. It just so happens that there is nothing important these days. I will go to Mudan's father to propose marriage tomorrow."
At this time, someone next to me jokingly said, "Xiaowen, why do you still say he is Mudan's father?"
Chen Xiaowen then slapped his head and said, "Yes, that's right, it's my father-in-law."
As everyone burst into laughter again, the atmosphere reached the scenic spot.
Before dark, Chen Xiaowen came to see Chen Xiaobei. As soon as they met, he proposed that he would discuss the date of marrying Mudan with his old father-in-law Cui Changhe tomorrow.
Chen Xiaobei was still a little unsure about the customs and customs here, so he brought it up and said, "Xiaowen, we have to discuss this matter with our ancestors again. After all, this is a major event for our Hetou Village."
Chen Xiaowen chuckled, "I don't want to find him. He talks about too many rules. If you have to follow what he says, it will be troublesome."
"I just want to take advantage of the excitement of the prince's marriage proposal to get me the peony quickly."
When Chen Xiaobei heard this, he understood in his heart, and Chen Xiaowen also thought it was too troublesome. I want to keep it simple, which coincides with my own ideas.
Thinking of this, he nodded slightly, "Okay, since you said so, I will go to your old father-in-law tomorrow to discuss this matter."
Chen Xiaowen thanked him profusely and turned to leave. At this time, Cui Hongyu spoke, "Brother Xiaowen, please wait a moment."
After saying that, he walked forward, looked at Chen Xiaobei, and then at Chen Xiaowen, "Xiaowen, you think it's troublesome and want to keep it simple. I understand this, but have you thought about it? What do Mudan's family think? of."
This sentence made Chen Xiaowen silent, and Chen Xiaobei suddenly woke up.
I am a man, so of course I am willing to understand this matter from a male perspective, but I have ignored the Mudan family's thoughts. Mudan is a famous beauty from all over the country.
Besides, Cui Dahe is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.
After a brief silence, Chen Xiaobei said, "Xiaowen, your sister-in-law is right. We have to pay attention to this matter. If we offend Cui Changhe, we will lose more than we gain. I don't think it's better to do this. Turn around and I'll do it for you." You go and discuss it with your ancestors and see how this matter is handled."
Chen Xiaowen thanked Chen Xiaobei profusely and kept clasping his fists at Chen Xiaobei, "Brother Xiaobei, then this matter depends on you!"
After dinner, Chen Xiaobei came to see his ancestors.
Of course Chen Xiaobei couldn't say that Chen Xiaowen wanted to simply marry a wife, so he could only say very seriously, "Ancestor, I was entrusted by Xiaowen to go to Mudan's house to discuss a date and bring Peony over."
"Originally, I had to find a fortune teller to take a closer look at this matter, but you should also know what Xiaowen said about the situation at the border."
"I'm not thinking about whether I can discuss it with Cui Changhe and settle this matter as soon as possible."
The ancestor nodded slightly, squinted his eyes, and gestured with his left hand for a long time, "Five days will be an auspicious day, so I think this will be done in five days."
"Old ancestor, I leave all that to you. Uncle Changhe and I can't explain these things clearly."
The ancestor's self-esteem was obviously satisfied. He stroked his beard with a smile on his face and said, "Okay, then I will accompany you to Cuijiazhuang tomorrow."
Had breakfast early the next morning. Chen Xiaobei loaded a few cabbages into the carriage, got two kilograms of pork, and drove his ancestors to Cuijiazhuang.
The reason why they didn't bring many gifts was because the two of them just came to discuss with Cui Changhe, and it was not certain whether the matter would be successful. If Cui Changhe agreed, he would have to come to see him off in a serious way, and then he would have to give a heavy gift.
This time, Cui Changhe was very enthusiastic when he saw the two of them. Obviously, the matter of the prince and Chen Xiaowen giving gifts had already spread in Cuijiazhuang.
After sitting down, Cui Changhe specifically asked Mudan to quickly serve him two cups of tea.
After the tea was served, Mudan found an opportunity to retreat. Chen Xiaobei looked at Cui Changhe and said with a smile, "Uncle, Xiaowen wants to marry Mudan as soon as possible. My ancestor and I came here today just to discuss this matter with you. thing."
After hearing this, Cui Changhe smiled so much that the folds on his face could kill a fly.
"It's easy to talk about it, I'll tell you. As long as the two children are willing, we can discuss everything easily."
After hearing this, the face of the ancestor next to him showed a sense of relief. He smiled and said, "Changhe, what do you think? Your father and I were long-term workers together. As for some things, I will You took it upon yourself to make the decision.”
Cui Changhe hugged his fist and said, "Easy to say, then I will listen to you in everything."
After hearing this statement, the ancestor seemed confident, "There will be an auspicious day in four days, so we might as well take care of the two children's affairs quickly."
Cui Changhe didn't hesitate at all, but nodded repeatedly, the smile on his face not disappearing at all, "Okay, okay, ancestor, everything is as you said, so our family will start preparing now."
After hearing Cui Changhe's statement, even Chen Xiaobei was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party agreed to Mudan's marriage so smoothly, but Chen Xiaobei also understood that during this period, he had nothing to do with Chen Xiaowen. The most important thing was Hu Fan sent a congratulatory gift on behalf of Prince Xiao Jingyun, which was equivalent to a word he often said in his previous life called endorsement.
Prince Xiao Jingyun endorsed Chen Xiaowen, so for Chen Changhe, marrying his daughter to Chen Xiaowen was like a crow turning into a phoenix. As long as Chen Xiaowen nodded, he had to give his daughter away obediently.
Obviously, the ancestors did not expect that things would go so smoothly and that Cui Changhe would agree without any conditions.
"Don't worry about this. I know all the etiquette. I will arrange for someone to come to your place in a serious manner tomorrow."
Cui Changhe waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, ancestors, we are all natives of our hometown, why should we be so particular? When the time comes, just arrange for someone to come over and tell me."
The ancestor was obviously surprised to see such a reasonable Cui Changhe.
But Chen Xiaobei understands Cui Changhe's thoughts better. This is because the prince Xiao Jingyun endorsed the answer for Chen Xiaowen, which is also good. He can use this matter to let Chen Xiaowen get the peony back to Ye Changmeng Tuo as soon as possible.
