Chapter 212 Passed
After a few words of discussion, the two generals turned around and smiled at Yan Zhizhou and said:
"You don't have to worry, let the convoy stop first. Please check it out. There are no bandits on Shandong Road that dare to offend Jiaozhou Camp."
Although it was very certain, the two men sent by the general manager began to be very cautious. One team led by the general manager 50 people formed a formation and trotted to Li Village, and shouted there halfway:
"This is the car of the Jiaozhou Camp guards. No one is involved and lets go quickly!"
No matter how you look at it, there are many people from Li Meng, but these two hundred infantrymen led by the total dared to scold them loudly. This is the confidence that has been cultivated. When he heard this, Li Meng looked down at his clothes. Sure enough, this was not the standard of the cavalry of Jiaozhou camp, but a common mansion specially made for Caozhou.
Seeing the two generals approaching, Wang Hai quickly rode out of the line and shouted:
"What are you shouting around there? Didn't you see this adults here?"
These two generals were veterans led by Wang Hai in the past. When they saw Wang Hai on horseback, these people took a peek at the roadside and immediately recognized Li Meng. A group of people knelt down and said:
"See the adults, the younger ones didn't see clearly, so I hope you don't blame me."
Li Meng waved his hand, grabbed the horse's belly, and urged the horse to the official road. The guards hurriedly followed. The old and young people in the Yan Zhizhou convoy were not worried, but instead looked at the bandits who were "eyed" on the roadside with great anticipation and begging for mercy. Who knew that the soldiers escorted were actually kneeling there.
Seeing hundreds of people slowly approaching here, these people were so scared that they were completely immersed. They thought they were so majestic that they finally met a more vicious "king". Listening to the increasing commotion in the team, Yan Zhizhou frowned and turned around immediately, shouting:
"What a mess, there is no decent thing, be quiet!"
The servants had hardly seen Yan Zhizhou get such a temper, and were all frightened. Seeing his master's appearance extremely calm, they all calmed down. Yan Zhizhou sighed on the horse, and he recognized where the cavalrymen in front of him were.
Yan Zhizhou sighed immediately, and regardless of the "horse bandits" riding horses opposite him, he followed the trembling butler next to him and said:
"Go and bring those two carriages over."
The butler didn't react for a while, and Yan Zhizhou emphasized again. The butler immediately understood that he was trembling like a sieve, but at this time he was shocked, with a very strange expression on his face, and he asked:
"Master, but those two were prepared for the lady."
Yan Zhizhou sighed and nodded. The butler smiled and hurriedly ran to the back. Yan Zhizhou took his horse to the carriage behind and said in a deep voice:
"Madam, don't be frightened, you are familiar people."
The magistrate's wife and daughter were riding in different carriages. The noise outside was so loud that the female family in the car was also a little panicked. Yan Zhizhou went over and comforted her. Yan Zhizhou said that it was an acquaintance in front of her. Since she knew her, Mrs. Yan knew that she must be unfamiliar with bandits and horses, so she must ask who was stuck there, and made the convoy so panicked.
Yan Zhizhou, who was beside the car, was really embarrassed. How could he explain the identity of the person opposite? He hesitated for a long time before he spoke:
"It's really a girl who is too big to stay..."
The car was silent for a while, and Mrs. Yan was also a smart person, so she could figure it out. Soon after, laughter came from the car. Yan Zhizhou immediately thought about it and smiled bitterly.
Li Meng had already got off the horse, and Wang Hai was commanding the soldiers to lead the convoy to the open space beside Li Village. The subordinates of the prefectural prefecture knew the officers and soldiers of Jiaozhou Camp and often dealt with some people. When they saw that they were familiars, they immediately disappeared from the panic look of the moment.
The atmosphere of this scene is indeed a bit strange. Everyone seems to be having a holiday, chatting and laughing, transferring cars and horses there, settled the population, and traveling for most of the day. It is also necessary to rest in Li Village.
Compared to the other people's lively mentality, something was wrong with the person involved. Li Meng walked under Yan Zhizhou's horse and looked up at Yan Zhizhou who was high above him. He coughed a few times but didn't know what to say. Yan Zhizhou was right next to his wife's carriage at this time. The curtain of Mrs. Yan's carriage had been lifted up, and the couple were looking at Li Meng.
Li Meng rubbed his cheeks with his hands and felt that the scene was very awkward. According to his expectation, Yan Zhizhou must have disagreed with his marriage with Yan Ruoran and must have shouted loudly. He was also tougher, and he snatched his wife back first, regardless of the situation.
Who would have thought that this was such a scene? Yan Zhizhou and his wife did not spread their anger after seeing him. Instead, they looked like they knew this. With this quiet treatment, when Li Meng and Yan Zhizhou met face to face, Yan Zhizhou was always a little afraid of Li Meng, which gave Li Meng some psychological advantages. But today is different. Li Meng found that Yan Zhizhou's eyes looked at him were not as weak as before.
He found that he was at a loss at this time. Yan Zhizhou looked at Li Meng's appearance below and couldn't help but sneer a few times, and asked calmly:
"It's a coincidence that I met Lord Li on the way to take office!"
Mrs. Yan next to her did not have much disgust and looked at Li Meng up and down with interest. This was because the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law's condition. Li Meng wanted to answer, but was interrupted by a chattering sound nearby. When she turned her head, she saw some maids gathered in front of another carriage and said congratulations there.
The prefect of Li Meng was very clear about the pursuit of Miss Yan when the prefectural prefecture was very clear. He knew that the master was taboo about this and kept silent. But today it was different, and this situation was very obvious.
For some reason, Li Meng also felt a little blushing, and Yan Zhizhou said again:
"Is there anything wrong with Lord Li?"
At this time, Yan Zhizhou's attitude was completely condescending to the younger generation. However, Li Meng was in the situation and could not feel the change in this attitude. He could not say anything about his words. Speaking of which, Li Meng had never been in love in modern times, and in this era, it was the same. This was the first time to see the woman's parents. Strictly speaking, Yan Zhizhou had never accepted Li Meng in the past, but now it is different.
The father-in-law's mental pressure on his son-in-law was also on Li Meng at this time. Li Meng lowered his head and tried his best to cheer him up. He turned around and looked around, but saw a corner of the curtain on the carriage behind him, and someone was secretly looking at this side.
When Yan Ruoran was watching, Li Meng was not so embarrassed. He cleared his throat, bowed and gave a big gift, and said in a solemn voice:
"Uncle and aunt, I am here to ask Miss Yan for a marriage proposal. I know that Miss Yan is gentle and Xianshu is a good match. I am here to ask you two elders. I am here to grow old together with Miss Yan and spend the rest of my life together."
The atmosphere of the scene became a little warm. The maids and servants were all good people, not to mention the festive event of a marriage proposal. Seeing that the master and his wife were not too angry, Li Meng was also a legend in Jiaozhou, so he had already watched it from afar.
Li Meng's personal guards over there were not much better. They were going to get off the horse and rest, but they all sat on the horse's back. Taking advantage of the height, they stretched their necks and looked over, and they were all excited.
When he heard Li Meng say the words of a proposal, he couldn't help but make a loud noise outside. Since the proposal was finished, everyone's attention immediately turned to the immediate Magistrate Yan.
Seeing Li Meng, who was celebrating his fists below, Yan Zhizhou hesitated for a while, turned to look at the lady sitting in the carriage. Mrs. Yan nodded with a smile and said softly:
"This kid is good."
Yan Zhizhou did not speak out, but Li Meng still kept the courtesy. Fortunately, he was diligent in training. Although he had always maintained this posture, he could still support him.
Just as he was about to look up, Li Meng heard Yan Zhizhou sigh and said slowly:
"In the past few years, you can see that you are sincere to my family, and the child's thoughts are all on you. If I don't allow this marriage, it would be unreasonable. I don't want to say more. I just want you to treat Ruoran better in the future. Don't treat her badly, do you know?"
Listening to the above question, Li Meng was stunned at first, and then his heart was immediately filled with joy. The Yan family agreed to his proposal. Although Yan Zhizhou's voice was soft, he could not resist the people around him being close to each other. He could hear it clearly and immediately cheered and cheered. Yan Ruoran's personal maid even cheered and ran back to report the news.
The news reached the periphery, and Li Meng's cavalrymen were not sure who led the lead, and shouted "congratulations" in unison, making the scene even more enthusiastic. Li Meng turned around and wanted to go to the carriage where Yan Ruoran was riding, but was caught up by an older guard beside him and whispered to remind:
"Sir, you haven't thanked the two elders yet."
Li Meng then stopped with a blushing face, returned to Yan Zhizhou and his wife, and thanked him directly. After all, it was the relationship between the elders and the younger generation. Although his actions were all inconsistent with etiquette, who would pay attention in this joyful situation?
