Chapter 297 Proposal
...
It snowed heavily today.
The thick snow prevented people from going out.
If it was a weekday, the streets would be crowded.
Probably just like modern holidays.
There would be more small vendors on the street.
Some jewelry stores and clothing stores would even put up advertising signs, saying that if you buy jewelry today, you will get a hairpin for free.
The business atmosphere in the capital is still very strong and advanced.
Everyone can think of various ways to make money. There are
also various good men performing on the streets.
Various pretty girls are hanging out on the streets.

On this day, Dong Shangshu's house in Dongcheng started to clean up early in the morning.
It had already been cleaned up, but the weather was not good and it snowed. The snowy ground was slippery, and the servants had to clean up the ground in the walkway early in the morning to sweep and shovel the snow. It was very busy.
Mrs. Dong was a little angry.
No matter what I ate yesterday, I got a pimple on my chin, a big one. I
am also a little anxious.
After all, it is the most important event of my daughter's life.
Seeing that my daughter is not anxious at all.
What a temper she has, she is not anxious herself, but the whole family is anxious to death.
Minister Dong does not have pimples on his chin, but his mouth is full of ulcers. He
grimaces in pain when he drinks a sip of warm tea.
Minister Dong's son Dong Chichi looks like he will easily get a mold from his parents.
He ran to his sister's room silently.
Seeing all kinds of bottles and jars in his sister's room, it was so gorgeous that he felt a little headache.
Fortunately, they have the same father and mother, otherwise he would suspect that he was born to the maid.
His room is empty, no different from a snow cave.
I have never seen such partial parents.
Your sister will get married in the future, and she can only enjoy a few years of happiness as a girl. She will have to live in someone else's house for the rest of her life, so naturally she has to live in a better place now.
You have lived in your own home all your life, and all the family belongings will be yours in the future. What's wrong with you giving way to your sister... When he
entered the house, he saw his sister embroidering.
Seeing that his sister's embroidery was ordinary and had no special features, she embroidered a flower and looked very serious.
He admired his sister for this point. Her skills were mediocre, but she could do it with patience.
"Sister, aren't you nervous? You will meet the marriage proposal in the afternoon."
Dong E sighed and put down the embroidery in her hands.
"You're nervous. Look at my stitches. They're so big. The embroiderer would sigh when she sees them. But there's no point in being nervous. It's all settled, right? Don't worry. It's definitely better than Liu Tong."
"Sister, you still can't let go of Brother Liu?" Dong Xiaodi asked anxiously.
"How could that be? Don't you like Liu Tong? I see you get along well with him every time he comes." "
No, sister, I don't like Brother Liu. Brother Liu is a little stupid. He doesn't understand a lot of what I say. But I think it's better to get along with him. After you get married, he will treat you better." Dong Xiaodi said disappointedly.
He doesn't like socializing. The connections he has made are not useful now.
"^_^" Dong E smiled.
"I think he is a little bit stupid, I am embarrassed to say it, but mother said that it is good to be a little stupid, and he has no bad heart. But you see, being too stupid is not good either, he will be easily fooled. The fairy Liu he likes doesn't like him at all."
The brother and sister chattered.
Perhaps because the snow came suddenly, a little bird hid under the eaves, looking blankly at the snow outside, listening to the brother and sister's conversation inside .
...
Everything is ready.
The corners of the curtains that were fluttering were all smoothed.
Just waiting for the guests to come.
"Here they come." The servant trotted in.
Minister Dong and Mrs. Dong stood up with some excitement and went out to greet them in person.
But unexpectedly, it was Minister Liu who brought his son and a group of servants carrying poles, knocking and tying red cloth.
Minister Liu was scolded when he learned a few days ago that his wife had brought their son to his house.
He was a little angry.
Although Minister Dong was his superior, he was inflexible and had a bad relationship with Prime Minister Lu. Prime Minister Lu was petty and vindictive, and Lord Dong would be avenged sooner or later. Minister
Liu had quietly gotten through Prime Minister Lu's way and had also been to Prime Minister Lu's small court.
But his unlucky child was actually jealous of Prime Minister Lu's youngest son, who was also a royal relative, the son of the seventh prince. Even if
the seventh prince was no longer favored, the Prince of Chu was also a legitimate grandson of the emperor, and his son was deeply involved.
He had to plunge into it head-on, and he couldn't control it no matter what he did.
The only solution now was to force him to get married.
Minister Dong's family loves their daughter and gives her a rich dowry. Even if something happens in the future, it will not fall on the married daughter.
Moreover, the father-in-law and the son-in-law are natural allies. Minister Liu is in a dilemma of wanting to replace Minister Dong, but also worrying that another minister will come to replace him.
In short, after all the considerations, the candidate is still the daughter of Minister Dong.
Minister Dong is very face-conscious, and today is his day off, so Minister Liu decided to personally go to his house to apologize.
He has given him enough steps, but he doesn't want to drag it out, otherwise he will become a laughing stock in the capital.
Minister Liu brought a generous gift, knocked on the door, and delivered it.
He also made enough gestures and gave him face.
Minister Dong and his wife, who came out to greet him in person, were brows cracked when they saw the visitor.
Minister Dong only felt that the ulcer in his mouth hurt more.
Mrs. Dong felt like she was going to get a pimple on her chin again today. She was so angry. They had made things clear a few days ago and had a falling out, but he still came to her house and chose today. Who would come to her house for no reason without giving a visiting card?
If the Jiang family comes over later and they misunderstand, it will be bad.
But the person who came was Minister Liu, and Mrs. Dong couldn't go forward. She could only curse in her heart. She used to think that the Liu family was very good. They were all scholars, warm and polite. After this incident, they changed their faces. So it's not a bad thing to cancel the engagement. If she really becomes a relative with such people, she will have no place to complain if she has grievances in the future. Such people seem to be good in every way. If you say you are wronged, others will not believe it.
Minister Dong's face also darkened.
"Lord Liu, I don't know why you suddenly come to my house? Are you bringing your children to apologize? Although you bumped into my wife a few days ago, there is no need to be so polite. We are all colleagues. Just say a word and let it go."
Minister Liu showed a warm smile on his face, and he had the demeanor of swallowing his pride.
He was not angry at all. Hearing the loud voice of Minister Dong, he smiled warmly and said, "Master Dong, I have worked diligently for many years with you. You know how I work. My wife is straightforward. Maybe she angered Mrs. Dong. She was frightened and scared when she went back. She got sick. Today I brought my son to pay the tribute and apologize."
In front of his father and the elder Minister Dong, Liu Tong probably learned to speak human language after being educated many times at home.
"Uncle Dong, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I will treat A'a well in the future."
When he said this, Liu Tong suddenly saw the figure of Sister Dong. She trotted out as if to greet him. After not seeing her for a long time, Sister Dong was still youthful and innocent, like a little deer, with a round face that was very cute.
Liu Tong continued, "Today I, Liu Tong, swear to heaven that I will only treat Dong E well from now on. Miss Liu and I are innocent and have not done anything inappropriate. I just felt sorry for her and took good care of her on the way to Beijing. If Miss Dong doesn't like it, I will never see her again in the future."
Liu Tong's eyes were firm and he said with a broken heart.
Dong E thought her savior had arrived and ran out, but she didn't expect to see Liu Tong again... He
is really haunting her.
Liu Tong was serious. Dong E would cry to death and swear to take Fairy Liu with her everywhere.
She was really vomiting inside...
She wanted to vomit and she actually vomited.
In front of Minister Liu and his son.
Liu Tong looked at Dong E who was vomiting and suddenly looked ugly.
He suddenly remembered what he had told Qingqing, that sister Dong was sewing wedding dresses at home, which forced his mother to ask for her hand in marriage. Qingqing asked curiously, why was such an innocent girl so anxious to get married, but what was the reason?
Liu Tong asked with a pale face: "Sister Dong, I heard that you fell into the water a while ago and were rescued. Are you pregnant?"
Minister Liu wanted to poke his eyes out, what was his stupid son thinking? Even if he was pregnant, he couldn't have started vomiting in the past few days.
When Minister Dong heard what Liu Tong said, his fists were hardened. This kid didn't want to marry his daughter, and he also slandered his daughter. A woman got pregnant before marriage, which was forcing his daughter to die.
"Lord Liu, you'd better take your son and your things and leave quickly. I'm sorry I can't entertain you as we have guests today."
Dong E was disgusted. She didn't expect Brother Liu to have such a train of thought. She couldn't help but retort: "Brother Liu, I heard that you fell into the water at Fairy Liu's house. Are you pregnant?"
Liu Tong blushed immediately: "How can you slander someone's innocence? Qingqing won't do that."
Dong E really... If her father wasn't there, she would have wanted to pick out the thickest embroidery needle and pierce the Liu guy. She was so annoyed.
Minister Liu was angry that his son didn't get beaten enough, and he was also angry that Old Dong didn't give him face.
He said, "Lord Dong, if you intend to marry Minister Jiang, I still advise you to be cautious. Minister Jiang can't protect himself. After tomorrow, he might be a prisoner."
