Chapter 739 [Fan] The belt is getting wider and you will never regret it (29)
That day was a beautiful and sunny day. The official media once again visited the Cai Mansion. However, this time, they were entrusted by the eldest lady of the Zhenguogong Mansion to propose marriage to the Cai Mansion for their second son, Zhenbei Marquis Li Ping. Female Cai Yimei.
As soon as the official media left, Li Ping stepped in.
The housekeeper was ordered to lead Li Ping in. As soon as he passed through the second door, he saw Cai Yimei coming out to greet him.
She was wearing a lotus-colored tunic skirt today, which made her even more beautiful and graceful. Seeing Li Ping staring at her, Cai Yimei smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Don't you recognize me?" ?”
Li Ping quickly looked away and replied with a smile: "I remember when I was studying in the palace, the first time I saw you come to the study, you were wearing purple."
Cai Yimei smiled and said: "That was eight hundred years ago, and even I have forgotten it."
“Although it’s been a long time, I’m still deeply impressed.” As he spoke, Li Ping lowered his eyes and looked at Cai Yimei, and said: “Among those girls, you are the most beautiful, so I remember it so clearly.”
Cai Yimei gave him an angry look and said seriously: "Stop making fun of me. I came to you to talk about serious matters."
As soon as Cai Yimei said these words, Li Ping asked: "I just heard from the official media that Mr. Cai and Mrs. Cai have agreed to propose marriage, but you didn't nod, Meier, what do you think?"
As soon as the official media left the house, Li Ping came over. Cai Yimei raised her eyes to look at Li Ping and replied: "Have you been waiting outside?"
Li Ping nodded and said, "I originally wanted to wait until tomorrow, but after hearing what the official media said, I really can't wait any longer."
Speaking, he couldn't help but take two steps forward, leaned in front of Cai Yimei and said: "Mei'er, I can't keep calm when it comes to you."
He stared straight at Cai Yimei and asked: "Mei'er, what are you worried about? I know you have me in your heart. Are you afraid of other people's gossip? Are you worried that you will have a difficult life in the government after marrying me? Or are you worried about it? Do you have any other concerns?"
Before Cai Yimei could speak, Li Ping solemnly promised: "You don't have to worry about any of this. I'm here. I will protect you and I won't let you suffer any grievance. If you don't want to be in the capital after marriage, I will I will take you back to Northern Xinjiang, where the sea and sky are vast, and we can live freely."
Hearing Li Ping's words, Cai Yimei felt sour in her heart, with tears in her eyes. She lowered her head and choked slightly and said, "I'm not afraid of being wronged. I'm just afraid of wronging you."
It took Li Ping a while to understand what Cai Yimei meant. He said frankly: "We are in love, how can I feel wronged."
As he spoke, he lowered his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him, with a smile on his face, and continued: "I am now thirty years old and can be considered an old bachelor. If I can marry a wife now, I will I don’t know how happy I am, how can I feel wronged?”
He took Cai Yimei's hand, stared at her affectionately and said, "Mei'er, life is short, we have missed so many years, we can't miss it anymore, you must marry me."
The tears in Cai Yimei's eyes fell one by one. She nodded and replied: "Okay, then I will marry you, and we will be together forever."
The two were talking here. Cai Lun and Mrs. Cai came out. Li Ping saw the teacher. He quickly let go of Cai Yimei's hand and bowed to Cai Lun respectfully: "The student has met his teacher."
Cai Lun and his wife saw the two of them talking intimately, and it was too late for the old couple to avoid them. Cai Lun cleared his throat, stepped forward and asked, "Didn't I ask the housekeeper to pick you up? Your wife and I are waiting in the front hall. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I came out to take a look."
Li Ping hurriedly replied: "The student was going to see his teacher and his wife. He happened to meet Mei'er and was delayed here for a while, making the teacher and his wife wait for a long time." Cai Lun snorted coldly and said half-jokingly: " Did I think you got lost in my house again?"
This was the first time that Li Ping saw his teacher joking with him like this. He immediately felt relaxed and his face showed joy. He joked: "I have been to my teacher's house several times, but this is the first time I came in through the front door." Well, the scenery inside the main entrance is really good."
As soon as Li Ping finished speaking, he heard the sound of a dog barking. Mrs. Cai stopped and said, "Hu Niu, this is an honored guest. Please don't be rude."
Li Ping looked at the sound and said with a smile: "How come this tiger girl is still so fierce? She screams every time she sees her."
Cai Lun couldn't help but sneered: "If it didn't have any ability, I'm afraid it would have died in your hands."
Cai Yimei on the side heard this and scolded Li Ping together with her father: "You blinded one of its eyes."
The tiger girl seemed to understand what she was saying and screamed at Li Ping even more fiercely.
Li Ping smiled at Cai Lun and said, "If my teacher had allowed me to go through the main entrance earlier, the student would not have accidentally damaged it. Alas! It was all an unintentional mistake."
Cai Lun heard the words and said with a smile: "Why do you allow me to go through the front door? You have always been a naughty kid. The first time I went to the study room to teach, you jumped out of the window and skipped class when I wasn't paying attention. I have always been at the front door of Cai Mansion. It is for those who are eager to learn.”
Hearing this, Li Ping quickly apologized humbly: "The student was naughty when he was young, and the teacher worried about him."
Cai Lun replied: "Fortunately, it's not too late for you to change your appearance and make progress."
"Okay, okay." Mrs. Cai saw that her husband couldn't finish what he said, so she interrupted impatiently: "It's the first time for the child to come to the door, and you, the old man, are still training him endlessly, and you still bring up the things about old sesame seeds and rotten millet. very?"
As she spoke, she looked at Li Ping and said with a loving look on her face: "Although Brother Ping was naughty when he was a child, I have always known him to be a kind child."
Although Cai Lun didn't like Li Ping, a poor student, Mrs. Cai had always been optimistic about Li Ping. She said this from the bottom of her heart.
After hearing Mrs. Cai's praise, Li Ping quickly bowed deeply and said seriously: "Thanks to my mother-in-law for her love, my son-in-law is very grateful. From now on, my son-in-law will definitely treat me well. Please rest assured, my mother-in-law."
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Cai hurriedly helped Li Ping up. She smiled from ear to ear and said incoherently: "You kid, how can I live with this?"
Cai Lun said coldly from the side: "The marriage has not been decided yet, so it is too early now."
He has been a teacher all his life and is used to being serious, but when he said this, his tone was cold, but there was a smile that could not be concealed at the corner of his mouth.
"Here we go again!" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cai secretly rolled her eyes at her husband and said displeasedly: "You have become an official now, and you need to change your habit of teaching others."
After saying that, Mrs. Cai took Li Ping's hand and said warmly: "Good boy, I asked the kitchen to cook a lot of dishes. Come over quickly with your mother-in-law. Today our family can sit down and have a meal together." (This chapter) over)
