Chapter 178 Master Shang Shu came to propose marriage
It was cloudy early in the morning, making people feel so frustrated that it seemed that it would rain hard at any time.
The voices of the Yu Mansion were silent, and only a few servants were seen moving things to the carriage outside the door.
Yu Rubi wore plain clothes without makeup, so she bid farewell to the elders in her family and prepared to go to Wuqiu Temple in the Family Temple.
Everyone in the mansion knew that the young lady was going to the temple to practice and pray for the elders in her family.
Gardenia cried so hard that her eyes were swollen. She stood in front of the car and pulled the shaft and begged: "Miss, I know that I have a clumsy hands and mouth, but at least you have to take me with you, and there is one more person to serve you."
"It's enough to have a wet nurse follow me. I'm going to practice cultivation, so naturally everything will be simple. Stay here to serve the master and wife." Yu Rubi smiled and touched Gardenia's head and said.
Gardenia cried even harder and couldn't say a word.
How could she not understand the lady’s painstaking efforts? Leave herself in the mansion and get married in a year or two, but if you follow her to the temple, you will not be able to do so.
When will the lady plan for others well, and she will swallow all the grievances and troubles by herself.
Yu Rubi got on the carriage, and the driver raised his horse whip. The horse's hooves were thumping, and the carriage was rumbling. Gardenia followed behind and chased Lao Chang for a long time until the carriage was far away. She cried and walked back.
Yu Bai sat in front of the window, looking depressed, and stared at the sycamore tree outside the window with a daze. It was planted by him and his wife when they were newlywed. Yu Rubi called her father for the first time and was under the tree.
He chose the name Rubi. As a father, he hoped that his daughter would be as clean and gentle as a white jade.
Yu Rubi has indeed grown into what he expected, with both talent and appearance, gentle and politeness.
But the good things in the world are not always there, and a sudden disaster caused the flawless jade bi to fall into the mud. Outsiders still regret it when they see it, let alone being their biological father.
When he thought of his young daughter entering the empty door to practice, Yu Bai's heart fell into the bottomless abyss.
Yan knew that the master was in a lonely state at this time, so he sighed and advised: "Master, please relax. Rubi is a child with a heart. For the sake of the reputation of the whole family, he wants to go to the family temple for the rest of his life. We should also understand her. Take good care of her so that she will not worry."
Yubai sighed heavily, and the depression in his heart could not be dissipated no matter what.
At this time, a string of thunder rolled across the sky, and it was about to rain.
The housekeeper ran in from outside, his hat was tilted.
As soon as he entered the door, he said, "Master, Madam, Lord Yi is here!"
"Which master is in charge?" Yan did not save for a while.
"It's Lord Yi Shangshu Yi, he came in person." said the housekeeper.
"What are you here to do?" Yubai was also surprised. He had never had any personal relationship with Yi Chongbai.
"I'm here to propose marriage," the housekeeper wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve, and said, "Mr. Yi said that he came to propose marriage in person, and asked the master and his wife to meet him."
"What kind of marriage is this...? Who are you going to propose marriage?" Yubai and Yan asked while getting up.
"The villain didn't dare to ask in detail," the housekeeper said truthfully: "I'll just invite Lord Yi to the front hall for tea."
Yubai was suspicious. Yi Chongbai was known as the "Yi Guitou" in the officialdom of Daxia, and his scheming was extraordinary.
What is the reason why he came to propose marriage in person?
But since they came, Yubai naturally had to come forward to entertain him. He reluctantly cheered up and came to the front yard with Yan.
"I don't know if Lord Shangshu has arrived, and he has been wronged to welcome him. Please forgive me." Yubai bowed when he entered the door.
"What did Lord Yu say? I came here uninvited, and I would like to forgive the crime of abruptness." Yi Chongbaisheng was very smart, especially those eyes, which seemed to be able to see at a glance.
Yan's side ordered people to serve tea and snacks. Seeing Yi Xu standing beside him, he said, "Young Master Yi, please sit down. I wonder what snacks do you like to eat?"
"Madam, don't be a good start. I'm bringing the dog to propose marriage to your mansion today." Yi Chongbai was straightforward: "Because it's really hasty, there is inevitably some lack of etiquette, so please forgive me."
"The adults came to the door in person, I don't know who to propose marriage?" Yubai asked with a smile.
"Miss Ai Rubi is just at her age. Yi Xu is 21 years old this year and is not married yet. Yi came today to propose marriage to Miss Rubi for her." Yi Chongbo smiled and said, "I wonder what you two meant?"
Yubai and Yan were both stunned on the spot, and they didn't know what to say for a moment.
Of course, the Yi family's family is much higher than the Yu family, but Yi Xu is a fool. No one wants to marry a fool as his wife if he has a daughter.
But once and forth, Yu Rubi is now not well-known, and some families are unwilling to marry her as their wife.
Yan's mind was more active and he quickly clarified the interests in it. It was probably because the bystanders were clear.
Instead of letting Yu Rubi practice in the ancestral temple and Qingdian Ancient Scroll for this life, it would be better to marry her to the Shangshu Mansion.
This will naturally help my parents' family a lot. Even if someone wants to say something else, he has to think about it.
Yubai still hesitated: "Does the adult want to hire my daughter as the main wife?"
"Of course, I've come in person, of course it's the official matchmaker who is married." Yi Chongbai smiled and pointed to the two official matchmakers standing next to him and said, "If you don't believe it, please ask them both."
Yan was anxious, but he whispered to Yubai: "Master, Rubi hasn't gone far yet."
He reminded Yubai in one sentence and quickly called someone: "Go and get the lady back!"
Before he finished speaking, Yi Xu rushed out.
At this time, it started to rain outside. The raindrops as big as beans fell down and caused pain when hitting people.
"Go faster, don't let the lady get wet in the rain." The wet nurse said to the coachman in the car.
The lady is weak now, and she is not a joke when she is wet.
The coachman whipped twice, and the horse ran hard.
When I arrived in front of Wuqiu Temple, the rain had already started, but fortunately it was not heavy.
The coachman held an umbrella and waited under the car. The wet nurse got out of the car first and turned around to support the jade like a jade.
A horse rushed over like an arrow from behind. The horse was wet, obviously raining all the way.
The horse stopped when it arrived. The rider rolled down from above, stood in front of Wuqiu Temple, and reached out to stop Yu Rubi.
Yu Rubi looked up and saw Yi Xu blocking in front of him like a chicken falling from the ground, and asked him with a smile: "Why are you here? It's raining heavily, come inside to avoid it!"
"If I don't go in, don't go in." Yi Xu wiped the rain from his face and said, "Go back with me."
At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, like a pouring splash.
Yu Rubi just thought he was a joke and was not angry. She coaxed him patiently: "This is my family temple. Don't stop me. Go to the doorman to take shelter from the rain first. I will ask someone to bring you fruits."
"My father has already come to propose marriage," Yi Xu tried hard to open his eyes in the rain, because he wanted to see Yu Rubi's appearance: "I want to marry you as my wife, grow old together until old age, and never leave you!"
