Chapter 180 The County Magistrate Proposes a Marriage
Bai Jin has an upright posture, his moon-white brocade robe fluttering in the wind, his sleeves fluttering as if he is an immortal descending to the earth.
He has a handsome face and skin as white as jade, revealing an innate nobility.
His sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, and his eyes were deep and bright, as if they contained endless wisdom and strategy. When his eyes moved, it seemed as if stars were twinkling.
His nose is tall and straight, with strong and graceful lines, and his thin lips are slightly upturned, with a faint smile that adds a bit of elegance.
Her black hair was neatly tied up and fixed with a jade hairpin, with the ends of her hair hanging down behind her, smooth and shiny.
Every gesture and movement reveals calmness and elegance. His calm and composed demeanor seems as if everything in the world is under his control, and he exudes a reassuring and indescribable charm.
Bai Jin rode his horse slowly forward. Along the way, the men, women, old and young in the village heard the commotion and rushed over from their homes and fields. Soon, a large group of people followed.
The older girls blushed, whispered to each other curiously, and occasionally covered their mouths with their hands and giggled;
The young wives held their children, their eyes full of gossip, chattering and speculating about what was going on;
The old people, leaning on their canes, moved slowly among the crowd, not wanting to miss this rare bustle.
The children were like happy little rabbits, running around in the crowd, laughing and playing.
For a moment, the crowd was bustling, filling the originally quiet village road, as if a grand gathering was taking place.
Shen Shaodong and others who were busy building an ancestral hall in the village were also attracted by the noise. They stopped their work and looked over here.
Shen Shaodong saw at a glance that the person riding in front was actually the county magistrate Bai Jin, followed by several magnificent carriages and several horse-riding messengers. He was filled with surprise and hurriedly put down the tools in his hands and went to meet him.
Seeing this, Zhao Lin behind him also became curious and hurriedly followed, his steps were fast and urgent, for fear of missing any exciting scene.
Bai Jin saw Shen Shaodong coming from afar, and he easily jumped off the horse with a graceful and neat movement.
He stepped forward and bowed to Shen Shaodong with full courtesy and elegant gesture.
Shen Shaodong hurriedly bowed to salute, and the people following behind him saw this and also bowed to show their respect.
Seeing this, Bai Jin quickly reached out to stop them and said with a smile, "Everyone, please don't be so polite!"
His voice was gentle and kind, with an irresistible affinity that made everyone feel warm in their hearts.
After Shen Shaodong stood up, he couldn't help but look at the carriages behind him, and his curiosity grew.
When he saw the person dressed like a matchmaker, the confusion in his eyes became even more intense.
At this time, the matchmaker came over with small steps and a smile on her face. The smile on her face was as bright as a blooming flower.
She cleared her throat and said in a loud voice, "Congratulations to the Shen family, congratulations to the Shen family! Our county magistrate is going to the Shen family to propose marriage! Can we all make way?"
Her words were like a bombshell dropped on the calm lake, instantly causing an uproar among the crowd.
When Shen Shaodong heard this, he was petrified and stood there in a daze, as if he had been cast under a spell. He said nothing, his mind blank. He just felt that this news was too shocking and it was difficult for him to accept it for a while.
Bai Jin didn't notice anything unusual about Shen Shaodong. He was overjoyed and happily leaned close to Shen Shaodong's ear and whispered, "I will be your brother-in-law from now on!" His tone revealed unconcealable joy and anticipation.
Shen Shaodong suddenly came to his senses and secretly rejoiced in his heart: Oh! What the hell was I thinking? A Li is only eight years old! Not eighteen. I almost misunderstood just now. What a close call!
He calmed himself down, a smile returning to his face. He bowed and said to everyone, "Everyone, please make way! Thank you very much!"
After saying that, he turned around and made a "please" gesture to Bai Jin, and said politely and enthusiastically: "Brother Bai, please come this way." Then he personally led Bai Jin and walked towards the Shen family's old house.
And those villagers who followed behind to watch the fun, followed in a swarm. The scene was extremely lively. There were laughter and speculations all the way. The whole village was extremely lively because of this sudden proposal of marriage.
