Chapter 341 The Prefect Arrives (4)
Mrs. Han smiled softly and said: "Mrs. Mu, why are you so polite? You can teach a daughter as gentle and beautiful as the eldest girl. It shows that you are a good child-rearing person. Otherwise, you cannot train a future head of the family who will offend our richest man in Jin Dynasty." I have longed for you day and night, and have been haunted by dreams. I would not marry you unless you were the king, this is the daughter of your unwavering ambition!
"What? Is it Brother Huo?"
Caiwei was startled and screamed out, her tone even higher by several syllables!
Emma, what's going on? Caiwei was confused. Didn't Brother Huo have a woman he liked? Wasn't he thinking about how to propose marriage just now? Why did he suddenly come back to propose marriage to her now? What on earth is going on?
"Yes, it's Huo Yuan, Mr. Huo!"
Magistrate Han stroked his beard and said to Mu Zhongqing with a somewhat envious tone: "Mu Xiucai is very lucky. He has raised a good daughter. She can win the favor of Mr. Huo and become a relative of the Huo family. In the future, the Mu family will He must be extremely wealthy!"
Mu Zhongqing twitched his lips and smiled reluctantly.
He doesn't care whether his family will be extremely rich, because he doesn't care whether he is related to the Huo family. What he cares about is whether his daughter will be happy.
He did not expect that Mr. Huo would be the one to propose marriage. Although he had a good impression of Mr. Huo, he still did not want his daughter to marry into a rich and noble family. After all, his family background was there, and so were the rules of the rich and aristocratic family.
When her daughter gets to live in a wealthy family, she will ensure that she will not be offended because of her humble background. Moreover, if her daughter is offended in the future, those from a small family will not be able to make decisions for their daughter. They can only watch helplessly. This is not tantamount to poaching. His heart? Instead of doing this, it is better to let your daughter marry an honest person who knows everything, like Jiu Jin, who can treat her daughter well all her life and live peacefully with her.
This is what he planned, but he didn't know what his daughter was thinking. If his daughter thought the same as him, he could reject the magistrate now. However, if his daughter thought differently than he did, she would already have feelings for Huo Yuan. Because of his thoughts, if he refuses the marriage between the two of them, wouldn't he make his daughter sad and disappointed? Therefore, he cannot refuse the marriage directly. It is best to ask his daughter's thoughts before making plans!
Having made up his mind, Mu Zhongqing said, "Thank you, Lord Magistrate, for your trouble. Mr. Huo is naturally excellent. However, marriage is no trivial matter. Please allow us and my wife to think about it for a few days. When we have thought about it, I will give it to you." Reply to the letter, and I hope you will be kind to me!"
Magistrate Han said with a smile: "It's easy to say, the matter is very important, so it's better to be cautious. In that case, I will wait for the good news in the mansion..."
The magistrate and his wife chatted with them for a few more words, and then left. Before leaving, Mrs. Han took Caiwei's hand, looked at her carefully, and then returned it to Du's hands, sighing: "My dear lady, it's true that He is a wonderful man, no wonder Mr. Huo is so fond of him!"
After hearing this, Caiwei hurriedly lowered her head and looked shy. In fact, there were already thousands of horses racing in her heart.
What the hell is going on with this guy, Ji Nai Huo Yuan? Why did you do such an unreasonable thing? Isn't this hurting her by proposing marriage to her? No, she must ask him carefully when she sees him!
Mrs. Han looked at Caiwei's shy look and said with a smile: "What's there to be ashamed of? Since ancient times, it's natural for men to get married and for women to get married. What's there to be ashamed of?"
Caiwei lowered her head and said nothing, and Mrs. Han made fun of her a few more times. She was afraid that her girl was thin-skinned, so without saying anything more, she and Magistrate Han got up to say goodbye and went to report to Huo Yuan.
After Magistrate Han and his wife left, Mu Zhongqing had no intention of eating any more. After sitting for a while, he got up and said goodbye to Cao Jin, and hurried back to the inn with his wife and children.
On the way, Mrs. Du couldn't help but ask Caiwei: "Weier, what's going on between you and Young Master Huo?"
Caiwei was speechless. How did she know what was going on? Huo Yuan had clearly said that he already had a sweetheart, so how could he suddenly come to her house to propose marriage? Could it be that...
She widened her eyes and suddenly thought of
Could it be that the sweetheart he mentioned was...her!
After Mu Zhongqing and his wife left, Cao Jin hurried back to the mansion where she and Huo Yuan lived in Lin'an Mansion.
When he returned, Magistrate Han and his wife had just left, and Huo Yuan was playing with a Meiyingcaisheng hairpin inlaid with pink gems, in a good mood.
As soon as Cao Jin entered the door, he asked angrily: "Huo Ziyou, why are you going to propose marriage now? With that girl's current status, how could your old lady let her in!"
