Chapter 339: Alcohol Makes People Daring

"Uncle Tao and Aunt Tao, time is tight, so we have concentrated all the steps of accepting the marriage proposal, asking for the name, and accepting the marriage proposal on today. I hope you can understand."

Zhu Xinhui explained with some guilt.

When they learned that he was going to work for a high-ranking official in the capital, Uncle Tao and Aunt Tao hurriedly said, "It's okay. Our two families have been friends for so many years. We trust you."

Zhu Xinhui finally smiled.

"Although time is tight, the wedding still needs to be held. We need to let the villagers know that Tao Tao and I have officially worshipped heaven and earth and will be my wife when I take up my new post."

Hearing what he said, the smiles on Uncle Tao and Aunt Tao's faces deepened.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

The two parties agreed to get married five days later, and Zhu Xinhui was taken away by Meng Shanchuan and others.

He now has a heavy task on his shoulders.

Those who wanted to ask were all too late, because Zhu Xin got back on the carriage and left.

They could only swarm to Tao's house.

Aunt Tao hurriedly asked her son and daughter to come out and help move the betrothal gifts back home. If someone stole the betrothal gifts, it would be troublesome.

"Lao Tao, has the Zhu family's kid become rich? How could you bear to marry your daughter to a cripple like him?"

"That's right, Lao Tao, did Zhu Xinhui meet a noble person?"

Problems popped up one after another.

Aunt Tao took her children to pack the betrothal gifts, while Uncle Tao was responsible for dealing with the curious villagers.

"Xin Hui is a promising kid. He has been recognized by a nobleman and will be appointed an official in Beijing," Uncle Tao announced proudly.

There was an uproar in the crowd, and everyone was talking about it.

"How could a cripple be allowed to become an official? Did he say that on purpose to coax you into marrying a young lady?" someone said sourly.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Uncle Tao was angry.

"If you don't believe it, get out and stop saying such unlucky words."

He picked up a broom and chased the man away.

Some smart people start to build connections directly.

"Haha, I think the child of the Zhu family is good, he is very handsome. If his legs can be cured when he goes to the capital, it will be even better. Then, you two will enjoy a happy life."

"Yes, yes, we are all from Changliu Village. Tao Tao, when you marry a good husband who is an official in the future, no matter what good things happen, you must not forget our fellow villagers."

When Tao Tao was named, she didn't know how to respond.

These people are not very familiar with their family on a normal day, so how can they have the nerve to ask her not to forget to give them benefits.

It is true that a rich man in remote mountains has distant relatives, while a poor man in a busy city has no one to care about him.

Tao Tao remained silent and quickened his movements.

Uncle Tao responded casually with a few words and then sent the guest away.

He accompanied his family to sort out the betrothal gifts.

The betrothal gift was prepared in great detail, even Tao Tao's wedding dress was prepared, for fear that she would not have enough time to embroider it.

They were very touched by this kindness.

Since the betrothal gift is so valuable, they also have to prepare some presentable dowry.

The Tao couple was in a dilemma. What kind of dowry should they prepare for their daughter to match the betrothal gift?

…

Zhu Xinhui was taken out of Changliu Village and met Lu Yanshi.

Meng Shanchuan had already told him who the person in front of him was, but now he was visiting incognito, so he didn't want to reveal his identity.

So Zhu Xinhui bowed respectfully.

"I wish you a happy return and to meet the Fourth Master."

"No need to be so polite." Lu Yanshi waved his hand and didn't exchange too many pleasantries with him.

After all, there are too many children waiting to be dewormed nearby.

In order to prevent the villagers from being uncooperative and delaying the process, Lu Yanshi asked his secret guards to find the local county magistrate to come over and take charge of the situation. He also invited doctors from a famous local clinic and asked them to send their children over for deworming.

The villagers all obeyed the county lord when they saw him.

Knowing that there was no charge for the treatment and deworming, they sent their children over.

Doctor Yang of Huichuntang didn't believe that playing the flute could cure diseases at first, but Zhu Xinhui showed him his skills. He saw with his own eyes the children vomiting worms from their mouths, holding their stomachs and crying, and pulling up their pants with worms coming out of them. He was full of admiration.

He even wanted to become Zhu Xinhui's apprentice and learn this skill.

But Zhu Xinhui received instruction from his father when he was young, and practiced specialized skills. It is not that one can achieve those effects by just playing according to the music score. Ordinary people cannot learn it.

Only then did Doctor Yang give up the idea of ​​becoming an apprentice.

There were so many children with worms in their stomachs that Zhu Xinhui blew for three whole days. It was not until two days before his wedding that he finally expelled all the worms from the stomachs of the nearby children.

Qu Fufeng then told the county master some hygiene tips on how to prevent roundworms in the stomach and asked him to give the order.

No one is allowed to drink raw water, wash hands before eating, and pay attention to hygiene.

Otherwise, the bugs will still get into your stomach in the future.

When the villagers saw the worms coming out of the child's stomach with their own eyes, they were shocked and immediately agreed. No one objected.

The matter of exterminating insects became a hot topic, and the villagers of Changliu Village also knew about it.

Only then did everyone realize that Zhu Xinhui had secretly saved their child.

Everyone felt a little ashamed at once, so on the day of Zhu Xinhui and Tao Tao's wedding, they all gave their best gifts.

It was Lu Li’s first time to eat a farm-style feast. The food was very fresh, so she enjoyed the meal very much and was not picky at all.

Jiang Heci noticed that Lu Qi seemed to like a certain dish at the banquet very much and took a few extra bites with his chopsticks, so he ran to learn how to cook the dish from the chef.

When he returns to the capital, he will be able to cook the second princess’ favorite dishes!

Meng Shanchuan looked at the bride and groom who were being escorted to the bridal chamber by the worship of heaven and earth, and his desire to marry a wife reached its peak at this moment.

He took a big gulp of the wine, then glanced at Jin Yulu who was sitting next to Lu Qi, his heart pounding.

If he confessed his love to Miss Jin while drunk, would she agree?

Alcohol makes people bold.

Meng Shanchuan took two big gulps of wine and decided to be braver.

If he keeps dragging his feet like this, he'll never be able to get married.

So while everyone was making a fuss in the bridal chamber, he called out to Jin Yulu.

"Miss Jin, I have something to tell you. Can I have a moment with you?"

Looking at his slightly red face, Jin Yulu's heartbeat suddenly quickened. She guessed what Meng Shanchuan wanted to say to him.

But she was afraid that the current relationship would be broken, so she hurriedly said, "Brother Meng, if you have anything to say, let's talk tomorrow. After all, we are alone and it's dark now, so it's not convenient to talk."

When Meng Shanchuan heard this, he frowned slightly and saw Lu Li, who was jumping around with Lu Xuan and wanted to go to the bridal chamber to make trouble.

"Miss Jiu, Master Xuan, could you two be witnesses?"

Lu Li and Lu Xuan:?

What to witness?

"Miss Jin, with the two of them here, we can talk for a moment. We won't be alone, right?" Meng Shanchuan held Lu Li in one hand and Lu Xuan in the other, and looked at Jin Yulu seriously.
