This is the betrothal gift for Young Master Fu.
An orange.
When she saw Ning Tao coming out with the betrothal gift, Chunmei was excited and happy. She thought Ning Tao would take out a rare treasure, such as an exquisite jade article, or a priceless gem...
But it's an orange.
The smile on her face suddenly froze, and her eyes were filled with disappointment. It wasn't that she was vain, it was just that she was getting married once in her life. Of course she hoped that the betrothal gift given by Ning Tao would make her look happy, but she didn't expect that what Ning Tao took out was an orange.
Isn’t this taking the important matter of marriage as a trivial matter
How can anyone propose a marriage with an orange as a betrothal gift
However, Jiang Caiping's reaction was completely different. When she saw the orange in Ning Tao's hand, her eyes suddenly felt bright. Before Ning Tao could deliver it to her hands, she couldn't wait to get up and reach out to take the orange in Ning Tao's hand.
Chunmei was anxious and coughed: "Master, you..."
Master, you won’t really accept a betrothal gift of an orange, will you
I'm so worthless!
This is probably what she wanted to say.
Jiang Caiping didn't seem to hear her voice, so she reached out and took the orange from Ning Tao's hand. Chunmei doesn't know the goods, but she does. The betrothal gift given by Ning Tao was the most precious spiritual material from the underworld, Huangquan tangerines, which were of great benefit to demons. How could she not be moved and how could she not like it
Seeing Jiang Caiping take away the orange, Ning Tao smiled and said, "Concubine Mei, you accepted my betrothal gift, which means you agreed to my marriage to Chunmei, right?"
Jiang Caiping's eyes never left the Huangquan orange in her hand. She said casually: "You are destined to be husband and wife. How could I stop you? Since I accepted your betrothal gift, it naturally means that I agree." , you choose an auspicious day, and I will personally marry you."
"Master..." Chunmei looked surprised. She really didn't expect that her master would "sell" her with an orange. Even if an ordinary village girl proposes marriage, no matter how unlucky the proposer is, he will bring a sheep or half a pig to the door, right
Jiang Caiping said: "Chunmei, I make the decision about your marriage and I won't tolerate your objection. Besides, the young master is such a good man. Marrying him will be a blessing in your life. You should cherish it."
Chunmei lowered her head and answered shyly, speaking in a voice as soft as a mosquito's whisper: "I will obey my master's arrangements in everything."
After saying this, she looked at Ning Tao out of the corner of her eye and found that Ning Tao was also looking at her. She then looked away, not daring to look at Ning Tao for even a second.
"My lord, when do you want to marry Chunmei?" Jiang Caiping asked, while she was still looking at the Huangquan tangerine.
Ning Tao smiled: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. I think today is a good day, so why not tonight?"
"Tonight?" Jiang Caiping finally looked away from the Huangquan tangerine. Her reaction clearly suggested that she had heard wrongly.
Which Ning Tao repeated again: "Tonight."
Jiang Caiping looked at him with strange eyes.
You are getting married tonight, are you too impatient
In fact, Ning Tao also knew that he was impatient, but there was no way. He only had seven days, and he had too many things to do in these seven days. How could he have time to fall in love step by step with the plum blossoms in front of and under the moon
"Please, Concubine Mei, please do it." Ning Tao said sincerely.
Jiang Caiping thought for a moment and then said: "You go back to the house and have a rest first. Chunmei and I will discuss it. Do you think it's okay?"
Ning Tao glanced at Chunmei, smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go back to the house to rest first."
He bowed slightly, then turned and walked out the door.
The little girl Dongmei had been waiting at the door. After Ning Tao went out, she led Ning Tao to the backyard and then into a room.
"Should I call you uncle now?" Dongmei had a smile on her little face.
Ning Tao said with a smile: "Of course, you can call me uncle from now on. I will protect you in Chang'an City and no one will dare to bully you."
Dongmei curled her lips: "I have seen many people proposing marriage, but I have never seen you like this. You take an orange as a betrothal gift. You..."
"What's wrong with me?" Ning Tao asked nonchalantly.
"You are so poor." Dongmei said it.
Ning Tao: "..."
"How about you give me some money and I'll buy you a decent betrothal gift?" Dongmei said.
"Like what?"
"Tanghulu..." Dongmei then changed her words, "I'm talking about new clothes embroidered with candied haws. If you want to marry me, Sister Chunmei, why don't you even buy her a new dress?"
Ning Tao said: "I have no money, I am really poor."
Dongmei looked disgusted, snorted, turned around and left, not even letting Ning Tao close the door.
Ning Tao smiled bitterly. He knew that this little girl wanted to get money from him to buy delicious food on the street, but he really had no money.
He waved his hand and the door closed automatically. He lay on the bed and closed his eyes.
Two seconds later, his Nascent Soul arrived at the tea room he had just left.
In the tea room, Jiang Caiping and Chunmei were talking.
"Miss, he just gave you an orange, and you betrothed me to him. Are the oranges he gave you so delicious?" Chunmei looked very depressed.
Her relationship with Jiang Caiping is indeed unusual. She calls her "Miss" when no one is around.
Jiang Caiping said: "You girl, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. This orange has a great origin. I have seen it in an ancient book. It is called Huangquan orange. It is the most nourishing yin. Eating it has great benefits." If the young master sells these oranges in the near future, I’m afraid there will be tens of thousands of people clamoring for them.”
"Wanjin...ah?" Chunmei was stunned.
Jiang Caiping said: "I treat you like a sister, and I don't look the other way. If he wasn't so kind, I wouldn't have betrothed you to him even if he gave me this tangerine. Let's just settle the matter today." You will get married tonight."
"You're getting married tonight?" Chunmei said reluctantly: "Miss, do you really want to marry me off? Just accept an orange. He just proposed marriage, and you want me to come to the church to get married tonight. This is unavoidable. Are you too anxious? "
Jiang Caiping pursed her lips and smiled and said: "It's not that I'm anxious, it's that Mr. Ri is anxious. You and he have been married in a dream for a year, and you are considered an old couple. What's the rush?"
Chunmei stamped her feet: "Miss, he bullied me, you bully me too!"
"Then will you marry him?"
"I don't want to." Chunmei said.
Jiang Caiping said, "Well, I'll give this orange to Mr. Buri so that he can stop thinking about it."
"No!" Chunmei reached out and grabbed Jiang Caiping's sleeve to prevent her from leaving.
Jiang Caiping said, "Aren't you unwilling? Why are you holding my sleeve?"
Chunmei: "I..."
"Then are you willing or not? Tell the truth."
Chunmei took ink for several seconds before nodding: "I...will."
Which woman doesn’t dream of Prince Charming, not to mention that this Prince Charming is a world-class hero and has been her dream couple for more than a year. As a slave, she has to face two choices once she reaches the age of twenty, either to be sent out of the palace, or to stay as a palace maid. Her future life is almost destined to be a miserable and lonely life. Now there is a great hero who likes her and marries her. , there is no reason why she would not want to.
Jiang Caiping sat back on the chair and waved: "Chunmei, come here."
Chunmei leaned over and said with a blushing face: "Miss, I have agreed, what else do you want to say?"
Jiang Caiping said: "Young Master is not an ordinary person. How can you tolerate the image of an untouched girl like you? My sister is someone who has been here before. I can give you some experience and teach you some good tricks of serving men."
"Do you still need to learn this?" Chunmei's face had already turned red like a cherry in March.
"Don't interrupt, just watch carefully. When he comes here, you are like this... When he comes here, you are like this..." Jiang Caiping said while gesturing and moving, speaking vividly.
Ning Tao watched in the corner, stimulated and dumbfounded.
This Mei Jing is really interesting, so kind, so aloof and aloof, but also good at many good jobs. Li Sanlang didn't know how many lives it took him to achieve this blessing. It was really a good cabbage that was passed over by a pig.
Chunmei was embarrassed at first, but she gradually got into the mood. She followed Jiang Caiping's movements in an orderly manner, listened to the essentials, and learned seriously.
Some of the gestures and the woman's private words made Ning Tao embarrassed. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he was too embarrassed to continue peeping and eavesdropping. He quietly disappeared into the wall and returned the way he came.
In the tea room, Jiang Caiping seemed to be feeling something. She closed her mouth while talking about an action, and stared at the wall where Ning Tao escaped vigilantly. She was stunned for a few seconds before tentatively saying: "Young Master, is it you? "
Ning Tao's Nascent Soul had long since slipped away, and there was no one else's voice in the tearoom except her own.
When Chunmei heard this, she had no other reaction. She covered her face and hid behind Jiang Caiping's chair.
Jiang Caiping said: "I lied to you. Come here and I will teach you another trick."
"Miss, you... you almost scared me to death just now. If he bumps into me, how can I see anyone?" Chunmei said shyly.
Jiang Caiping said with a smile: "Every woman will have this day sooner or later, why are you ashamed? I will give you this trick, and then you follow me to my room, and I will make you the red dress that you have never worn. Wedding dress. The house must be well decorated. Although the time is short, your wedding must be decent. "
"Miss, I can't bear to leave you." Chunlan plunged into Jiang Caiping's arms.
Jiang Caiping said, "It's not like I'm marrying you far away. Aren't you both by my side? Go and get the tea spoon."
"What are you doing with the tea spoon?" Although she smelled like this, Chunmei still went to get the tea spoon and handed it to Jiang Caiping.
Jiang Caiping put the tea spoon to Chunmei's lips: "Open your mouth."
Chunmei was stunned for a moment: "What... um..."
"Catch it." Jiang Caiping said.
Chunmei reached out to grab the tea spoon.
Jiang Caiping slapped her hand down with a slap: "Who asked you to use your hands?"
Chunmei: "..."
Jiang Caiping slowly explained: "This is the secret technique of the Tang Dynasty, called Xunlong Jue. The word "Xunlong" means entanglement, and each layer of entanglement is a layer of barrier. If there is a fine gold lock on the door, thousands of entanglements will open the lock..."
Be particular about it.
