Chapter 1711: The famous scholar Wei Yangsheng, the Tie Mansion proposes marriage
The daughter of Taoist Master Tiemen?
Su Mingzhe thought about it and didn't remember hearing this name, so he said indifferently:
"It's up to the parents to decide on this matter!"
Seeing that their son didn't care, Su's father and mother quickly asked their servants to invite a matchmaker.
The daughter-in-law who had not yet married into the family suddenly ran away from home and went to Mount Hua to become a nun. If the Su family did not quickly arrange another marriage, they would be laughed at.
Su Mingzhe returned to his residence and meditated in seclusion.
The next day.
Su Mingzhe came to the backyard and greeted his parents.
Before leaving, Su Mingzhe suddenly remembered his marriage and asked casually:
"Mother, when will the matchmaker go to Mr. Tiefei's house to propose marriage?"
When Su's mother heard her son bring up this topic, she said with embarrassment:
"Son, yesterday, I asked the matchmaker Wang to propose marriage, but Mr. Tiefei suddenly said that he only had one daughter and he had to find a son-in-law..."
When Su Mingzhe heard this, he realized that the marriage was over again.
After all, their Su family has been a single-line family for three generations, so it is impossible for him to become a son-in-law.
Thinking of this, Su Mingzhe said indifferently:
"Mom, actually, I'm not in a hurry to get married. With our family conditions, I can take my time to choose."
Su Mingzhe comforted his mother for a while, then said goodbye and returned to his residence, ready to continue his meditation, but he heard his servant Mingyan report:
"Master, Master Lin is here to visit!"
"Master Lin?"
Su Mingzhe was slightly stunned.
However, he soon realized that this Mr. Lin was a bad friend of his.
Speaking of which, both the Su family and the Lin family are businessmen.
The Su family was a sedentary merchant family with dozens of shops in the Jingxiang area, mainly doing restaurants, cloth, grain and other businesses.
The Lin family were traveling merchants, running grain and silk businesses.
The two businesses are complementary, so they have a friendship that has lasted for several generations.
……
"Brother Su——"
"Brother Lin——"
Lin Jingyuan has regular facial features, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. In terms of appearance, he is only slightly inferior to Su Mingzhe. However, he has a frivolous look in his eyes, and it is obvious that he is not a serious person. He cannot compare with Su Mingzhe, who has a handsome face and a good appearance.
The two sat down in the study. After the servant Mingyan served tea, Su Mingzhe asked with a smile:
"Didn't Brother Lin say that he was going to study in Bashu for a few months? How come he suddenly came back in less than a month?"
When Lin Jingyuan heard his friend's question, he looked a little embarrassed and immediately found an excuse:
"My father suddenly sent me a message, so I had to stop my study tour."
Traveling to study is a privilege for candidates in this dynasty.
Lin Jingyuan had passed the imperial examination several years earlier, but Su Mingzhe was not even a scholar originally.
Some time ago, Lin Jingyuan was invited by a good friend to study in Bashu. He originally planned to study for several months, but now he has returned in less than a month. Something big must have happened.
However, Lin Jingyuan refused to say it clearly, so Su Mingzhe did not ask.
Lin Jingyuan suddenly asked with a smile:
"Brother Su, I just came back yesterday and heard someone say that your wife-to-be has become a nun. Is this true or not?"
"..."
Su Mingzhe and Lin Jingyuan are just a pair of bad friends, so how could they not know that this guy came here today just to have fun.
Since you dismantled my stage first, don’t blame me for dismantling yours!
Thinking of this, Su Mingzhe asked again with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes:
"Brother Lin, there is no rush for my wedding. After all, I have just turned twenty, but Brother Lin is twenty-six this year. When will you invite me to the wedding?"
Lin Jingyuan's face froze when he heard this. Then he recalled the unpleasant experience he had when he went to Mount Emei. He couldn't control his expression and quickly found an excuse to evade the question:
"Brother Su, you may not know that my father has already arranged a marriage for me. I hurried back this time just to prepare for the wedding."
"is it?"
Su Mingzhe was skeptical because he had never heard Lin Jingyuan talk about this before.
"Of course it's true. When I go to my father-in-law's house to propose marriage in a few days, I'll have to trouble Brother Su to be the best man!" Lin Jingyuan did have an arranged marriage, but like Su Mingzhe, he liked to spend his time drinking and carousing and didn't want to be entangled in marriage at all.
Now the two of them were talking to each other, and he used this as an excuse. In a few days, he would have to go to his father-in-law's house to go through the formalities.
After seeing Lin Jingyuan off, Su Mingzhe continued to meditate at home.
……
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Su Mingzhe's cultivation level was raised to the Golden Core Stage.
That day, Lin Jingyuan sent someone to invite Su Mingzhe to accompany him to his father-in-law's house to propose marriage.
Su Mingzhe had been practicing at home for nearly a month. In order to combine work and rest, he took his servant with him and went out.
When he arrived at the Lin family, Su Mingzhe saw Lin Jingyuan chatting and laughing with a tall, handsome young man.
"Brother Su, come quickly. This is my good friend and classmate Wei Yangsheng. We went to Bashu to study together some time ago. Today, he will be my best man with you!"
As Lin Jingyuan spoke, he introduced Su Mingzhe to Wei Yangsheng again.
……
"Weiyangsheng? This name... sounds so familiar..."
Su Mingzhe searched his memory and his expression suddenly became unsettled:
"Mr. Tiefei, Weiyangsheng, Tieyuxiang... Damn, how did I end up in this dimension?"
……
The story of Wei Yangsheng and Tie Yuxiang has been around for a long time, and several movies have been made into it.
Su Mingzhe looked at Wei Yangsheng in front of him and recognized that he was the male lead in the 3D version.
"This Su Xian brother is so handsome!"
Although Wei Yangsheng considered himself the most talented and romantic man in the world, he was not a looker. When he saw Su Mingzhe with star-like eyes and a tall figure, he knew at first glance that he was not an ordinary person. He immediately took a liking to him and walked up to him to make friends.
"Brother Weiyang (Weiyang is a nickname, not his real name) is the most romantic and suave one!"
Su Mingzhe thought that there was a high probability that he would steal Wei Yangsheng's woman, so he immediately walked up to her with a smile and started a conversation.
Not long after.
The Lin family servants prepared the gifts, and the three of them drove to Tiejia Village together.
……
Mr. Tiefei, whose surname is Tie, is his nickname, not his real name. It mainly means that Mr. Tiefei is conservative and an old-fashioned person. He is very particular about etiquette in everything he does and never does anything impolite or indecent.
A group of people came to Tiefu.
Lin Jingyuan had already sent in his name card, and when Mr. Tiefei got the news, he sent someone to invite him to meet in the living room.
……
The backyard of Tiefu.
Tie Yuxiang, who was reading at the time, heard that her fiancé was coming to visit her home. Unable to hide her curiosity, she was about to go out to take a peek, but unexpectedly, the feather duster on the table was blown off by the wind. She was not prepared and tripped and fell to the ground.
When the maid Xianglan helped her up and lifted up her skirt, she saw a bruise on Tie Yuxiang's white knee.
……
In the living room of Tiefu.
Everyone introduced their identities to each other.
The ceremony is over.
Mr. Tiefei said directly:
"My dear nephew, it is true that I had an engagement with your father, but now I only have one daughter, so I am thinking of finding a son-in-law to carry on the family line! Therefore, a few years ago, I discussed with your father and canceled the engagement!"
When Lin Jingyuan heard this, he looked embarrassed.
He only learned when he was a child that his family had arranged a marriage for him, but he didn't know the details.
This time when he came to propose marriage, he also discussed it with his mother and did not ask his father who was doing business outside.
Unexpectedly, the Tie family had cancelled the engagement, which made him embarrassed.
At this time, Wei Yangsheng actually took the initiative to stand up and said with a smile:
"Since the engagement has been called off, we won't bother you any more. Goodbye!"
