Chapter 542 Reconciliation between the two families
Forsythia looked at the man kneeling in front of her and saw the sincerity in his eyes. She really had no reason to refuse.
And he respects her very much and only gets engaged and gets married three years later.
She was 25 years old at that time, which was almost marriageable age, which was pretty good.
It's just that Forsythia really didn't expect that just for an engagement banquet, there would be so many people from the Murong family, including many relatives from the royal family.
At this moment, she was the focus of everyone. Everyone was watching her, just like Ah Qi, expecting her to nod in agreement and then accept the bouquet.
Not wanting Ah Qi to kneel for too long, Forsythia raised her hand to take the bouquet from him, nodded and said:
"Yes, I promise you."
Murong Qi smiled tenderly, stood up and hugged her into his arms.
Suddenly someone next to me shouted, "Kiss me, kiss me."
Forsythia looked around at people she knew and knew, and was really embarrassed to be kissed in front of so many people.
The way he wanted to refuse but still welcomed him was extremely shy.
Murong Qi was relatively thick-skinned. Regardless of the presence of others, he held Forsythia's head and kissed it.
There were children watching nearby.
Murong Nan subconsciously covered Tang Xiaobei's eyes, lowered his head and said in his ear: "Children can't stare."
Tang Xiaobei is already a big child, so naturally he knows everything.
He didn't feel anything when he saw other people being affectionate in front of him, but he would always think of his little Lianlian from time to time, and he didn't know how she was doing now and whether she was doing well or not.
My heart suddenly became very depressed.
Ye Xinran, who was not far away, also had an unhappy face.
Seeing her aunt together with the man she liked, she suddenly thought of someone.
The feeling she thought about but couldn't get, really couldn't make her smile happily on such an occasion.
So she wisely retreated to a corner.
When Murong Zhengzheng in the crowd saw someone kissing her, she really looked like a child. She clapped her hands and jumped up and shouted:
"Great, great, kiss."
With this shout, everyone's eyes turned to her.
Now that she is mentally retarded, she naturally does not understand the way others look at her.
So Gong Yu hurriedly pulled her aside to protect her, and whispered: "Don't make any noise, just watch quietly."
"I see my sister, I want my sister."
With that said, Murong Zhengzheng jumped directly across the crowd and ran to Aina's side.
Even Gong Yu couldn't hold her back.
Watching Murong Zhengzheng running past, he looked over and saw Ye Shengsheng.
The woman he loved throughout his youth.
I don't know what she would think when she saw that he was still alive.
Ye Shengsheng also felt that someone was looking at her, and she accidentally met Gong Yu's gaze.
Seeing that he was looking at her, she hurriedly avoided his eyes and turned to talk to Ye Che beside her.
"Husband, do you still have a headache?" she asked in a low voice.
Ye Che has been enduring the discomfort. Now in order to prevent his voice from worrying, he lied:
"Well, it's much better. I'm fine now."
"That's good."
Ye Shengsheng raised his hand and squeezed Ye Che's hand, and the couple got very close.
No one noticed that Murong Beichen had been staring at Murong Zhengzheng.
Especially after she ran over and stood next to Aina, he looked at her even more unscrupulously.
Aina only held Murong Zhengzheng's hand and talked to her in a low voice without noticing.
When the two families got married, the elder came first. As the only eldest brother of the Murong family, Murong Nan stepped forward and said some polite words to the countess.
Then they asked their people to place the betrothal gifts one by one and let the countess count them one by one.
The Countess gladly accepted all the betrothal gifts brought by the Murong family.
But when it came to the last step, Murong Nan held a tray covered with red silk and handed it to the countess in front of everyone.
He said: "Over the years, the royal family and the Murong family have always had an unbreakable bond. Now that my parents are gone, I take the initiative to propose reconciliation to your royal family on behalf of the Murong family.
I hope that after you accept this betrothal gift, you will put aside the unpleasantness of the past, accept the marriage between two people who love each other, and be united forever. Our two families will live in harmony and support each other in the future."
The countess looked at the betrothal gift sent by the Murong family and felt that it was enough.
She is also very satisfied.
But now Murong Nan presented another one in front of her.
She really didn't know what it was, so she raised her hand to take the tray and tore open the red silk.
When she saw the military symbols placed under the red silk, she was shocked, even unbelievable.
Gong Yu next to him was also surprised.
He stared at Murong Nan closely, and couldn't believe that the Murong family was actually willing to give him the thing he wanted to have until his death in order to marry his little sister.
You must know that to them, the military talisman is the glory of the family, their power and status for generations, and is something more important than their lives.
How could Murong Nan take it out so easily and give it to his eldest sister as a betrothal gift?
Seeing the eldest sister holding the tray, which seemed to be in embarrassment, Gong Yu hurriedly stepped forward and raised his hand to take it.
Everyone looked at him with all their eyes.
Everyone wants to know what he will do next.
Gong Yu, who was holding the tray, ignored everyone's gaze and just stared at the soldier talisman.
He was thinking in his mind that if he accepted it, wouldn't he immediately become the ruler of several neighboring countries?
He can even destroy the Murong family at any time and bring their royal family back to the peak of glory.
Just this matter of thought, as long as he chooses, he can become the most noble and powerful man here.
"Hey, what is it? Can you eat it?"
At this moment, Murong Zhengzheng ran over, picked up the soldier talisman in the tray and bit it into his mouth.
Seeing her actions, Murong Beichen hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, took back the soldier talisman and put it in the tray, then took Murong Zhengzheng's hand and said:
"You can't eat this. This is something given to the royal family as a betrothal gift."
"..."
Murong Zhengzheng didn't quite understand, so she walked away with a frown on her face and went to find something to eat.
Murong Beichen looked at her back, completely unaware that Aina was also paying attention to him.
Even Gong Yu was paying attention to him.
After coming back to his senses, Gong Yu suddenly understood many things.
He should have died long ago, right?
If Murong Qi hadn't saved him, he wouldn't have had the chance to stand here and witness his little sister's happiness.
He should know how to be grateful, and he should know that his skills are inferior to others, and even if he gets the military talisman, he may not be able to become that ruler.
Looking at Murong Nan, he presented the tray to him with both hands.
I don't know if he is grateful to the Murong family for their contribution to the entire E country, or if he is grateful to them for saving his life.
Gong Yu's eyes turned red and he said in a hoarse voice:
"I have accepted all the betrothal gifts you brought for my little sister, but we cannot accept this thing.
Young Master, I can’t thank you enough for taking it with you to protect my royal family. I am really incompetent and do not have the virtue to accept such a valuable thing, so I ask you to take it back and put it away.”
From the moment he returned to this home, he had planned to take Zheng Zheng to the countryside when he saw his little sister getting married.
Then find a place where no one is around, live in a small courtyard, and live a life without competing with the world like ordinary farmers.
He no longer wants any power or status.
Now every day he lives is given to him by Murong Qi.
He needs to know how to be grateful and learn to cherish.
Murong Nan did not expect that Gong Yu would give it back to him.
He looked at the Countess and said:
"Since I gave it to you as a betrothal gift, you'd better accept it."
The Countess immediately said:
"As a woman, I don't have the ability to hold on to such a valuable thing. For the sake of all of us, you should take it back. We won't take it."
But they had already seen the Murong family's intention to marry her little sister.
From this moment on, the two families put aside their previous estrangements, turned their hostilities into friendship, became one, supported each other, and jointly built a more prosperous E-country. Why not?
Forsythia also didn't expect that in order to marry her, Aqi would give the royal family the most precious thing of the Murong family.
She was really touched by this sentiment.
Seeing Murong Nan still holding the tray and not knowing what to do with it, Forsythia hurriedly said:
"Brother Nan, please take it back. Only those with strong abilities should own that thing.
Besides, we will all be a family in the future. My brother said that he will take his sister-in-law to live in the countryside in a while. My eldest sister is a girl and does not have such ambitions.
So I have to ask you to work harder and continue to guard our homeland so that we can live in this land more carefree."
Seeing this, Murong Nan had no choice but to compromise.
"Okay, since we are all a family, it will be the same for everyone, so I will put it away first."
He handed the tray to his second brother, looked at the countess and said:
"Then let's start the next step."
"Um."
The engagement ceremony continued, and everyone was happy.
