The group of people walked to Su Xiaoye's house. When passing by the village, Jiang Susu and Jiang Xiaoxi arranged for people to give out some small gifts to the villagers who were watching the Taoxi. They were not precious things. The children gave candies and candied fruits, and the adults gave some combs and mirrors. , a happy picture.
Although the Yunjing family still lives in Xiaoxi Village, they are not poor farmers. They can still afford this small gift. If they were poor back then, they would have been reluctant to part with it...
Not long after, they arrived at the door of Su Xiaoye's house one after another. Seeing such a huge team, the tall Su Orion was a little overwhelmed for a moment, and he didn't know where his usual vigor had gone.
Auntie Wang, the matchmaker who came with us, stepped forward and shouted: "Da Qiang, Yue'e, look who's coming. What are you doing standing around? Get started."
Su Orion's name was Su Daqiang, and Su Xiaoye's mother's name was Liu Yue'e. Only when he heard Aunt Wang address them did Yunjing know their names. He had never known them carefully before.
"Oh, yes, everyone, please come in quickly. What are you doing, boss? Go and ask someone to help you boil water and make tea." Liu Yue'e also didn't know how to avoid this situation. After Aunt Wang reminded her, Only then did he react, and he pushed Su Daqiang as he spoke.
Su Daqiang seemed to have nowhere to put his hands, so he could only smile and say: "Everyone, please come closer, the yard is spacious and can be arranged."
As he said that, he was going to ask for help. After all, so many people were coming, so he had to give them tea and dinner. How could his family be so busy? He also thought about borrowing some stools by the way.
However, he was stopped by Aunt Wang who stretched out her hand. She could only hear Aunt Wang crying and saying: "You guys are inexperienced at first glance. How can you leave at this time, Daqiang?" She then turned around and inspected: "Er Gou, Shi Dan, you guys Don't just watch the fun, go call your mother-in-law to help, and ask a few people to move some stools."
"Okay..." The person who was called responded and went to work.
Aunt Wang's natal family is in this village, and she is very familiar with it, so she took the initiative to help organize it.
Su Daqiang kept scratching his head and laughing, secretly wondering where I had any experience. The only daughter in the family, Su Xiaoye, had never experienced anything before.
Whether it is Aunt Wang or Su Daqiang, even if Su Daqiang is now innately cultivated, he is not a member of the martial arts world. He makes a living by hunting. Although he was a soldier in his early years, he did not become an official. Therefore, in the final analysis, he is just a member of the lower class and has no great influence. Culture, in this case, is not that important. It is just a matter of getting together to discuss things.
But Yunjing is a scholar and has invited the state shepherd Wang Ruian to come and protect the matchmaker, so the complete etiquette on their side still has to go.
At this time, Wang Ruian came on the scene. He straightened his clothes and came forward with his hands in his hands: "I'm here to invite you, a student from your mansion. There's a reason why I took the liberty to visit you. Wen's family has a girl named Xiaoye. She's been living in the boudoir for a long time, and she's beautiful and beautiful. I am virtuous, and my reputation is praised by everyone near and far. I have a son whose surname is Yun Danzi Jing. Hearing about this daughter, I have trouble sleeping at night. He asked me to come here to find a marriage. I came to the door with shamelessness and prepared generous gifts. My thoughts are trivial. I just want to get a good match. I don't even look in front of the hall. Want to dislike"
After saying this, Wang Ruian didn't take away the gift, waiting for Su Daqiang's answer.
To be honest, it would be Yun Jing. If it were someone else, Wang Ruian, a dignified Zhouzhou pastor, would have the audacity to come to someone's house to ask for a hand in marriage, fearing that the other party would thank them behind closed doors. How many people have such a big face?
However, to avoid his words, Su Daqiang, Liu Yue'e and the others would not be able to deal with it. They are either rough people or ordinary people. How should they answer this sophisticated person?
How embarrassing.
Then there is the fact that my daughter Su Xiaoye has been engaged to Yunjing since she was a child. They know how to give betrothal gifts, so they just give them. Then they will have a banquet. How can this be called a door-to-door marriage proposal? No.
She has been his for a long time? How did this happen?
Not to mention Su Daqiang and the others, even Aunt Wang was confused. It was just a process, but she couldn't handle it. She had done a lot of matchmaking in the past, but she had never experienced anything like this. After all, she was doing it for ordinary people.
Media.
But fortunately, she relies on words after all, and she quickly realized that this is the rules and procedures of other scholars. Although we don't understand it, it looks very advanced at first glance.
Who else has ever played these tricks when marrying a daughter-in-law? It’s more face-saving to tell them. This is to show the face of Daqiang’s parents. They are preparing generous gifts to propose marriage, instead of randomly handing over their daughters to a baby girl.
You have to keep what that person said in mind, and say this when you talk to people about matchmaking in the future. Won’t our matchmaking skills improve?
With thoughts flickering in her mind, Aunt Wang pushed Su Daqiang who was at a loss and said with a smile: "What is Daqiang doing standing there in a daze? Asking people to come in? Really, he doesn't have any eyesight at all?"
Anyway, it just means the same thing. Don’t worry about what others say. You can’t connect with them at all. Just greet them with a smile.
"Ah, yes, yes, please come quickly," Su Daqiang said quickly, keeping smiling.
Wang Ruian quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Firstly, he was afraid of messing up the matter for Yunjing, and secondly, he was tired and came to propose marriage. However, the two parties were not on the same channel at all and could not communicate. Fortunately, it was just a formality.
Otherwise, it might be a joke.
He originally had something to say in his mind, but he guessed that it would be useless now. He quietly glanced at Yunjing with a questioning look. Yunjing nodded slightly to indicate that he should keep it simple, so he put away the gift and said with a smile: "That's it.
excuse me"
Yunjing is also helpless. In terms of etiquette, their preparations are of course impeccable. However, those red tapes are not necessary at all. Forget it, it’s better to keep it simple. Everyone can discuss and settle things after eating and drinking. There are so many adjustments.
It would be embarrassing if Su Xiaoye's family couldn't pick up the phone.
Then there is the fact that Su Xiaoye’s family didn’t even hire a knowledgeable person to host the meeting. Well, considering Su Orion’s character, he probably didn’t think about these issues at all...
When I think about the first time I met Su Xiaoye, she beat people to tears at every turn, and was very good at wielding swords and guns. However, Wang Ruian praised her for her virtuousness, which made me sigh.
Oh, by the way, speaking of which, where has Su Xiaoye gone? Why haven't you seen anyone? Could it be that she is embarrassed?
Next, Yunjing and the others also skipped some procedures and rhetoric, walked directly into the yard, and moved the gifts in. They laid out most of the yard, which was almost too big to fit. They were all in pairs, and with so many people, the yard of Su Xiaoye's house
It suddenly became full.
Someone from the village came to help boil water and pour tea to greet the entourage, while Yunjing and the rest of the main staff came to Su Xiaoye's main hall.
Wang Ruian took a sip of tea, looked at Su Daqiang and asked, "I wonder if your government is satisfied with the sincerity from the outside?"
"Satisfied, satisfied, um, isn't it too much?" Su Daqiang nodded, looking at the piles of gifts outside and feeling a little worried. What should I do with them later? The question is, what should I do with the dowry items? I'm exhausted from hunting.
Even if I kill all the animals in the mountains and I can’t afford anything similar to these gifts as a dowry, I’m worried...
He thought about whether to let Yunjing and the others take some of it with them when they went back, but how could he say this? No matter how arrogant he was, he knew that it was inappropriate to say such things.
Wang Ruian asked again: "What do you think the government wants?"
"Ah?" Su Daqiang didn't understand.
Aunt Wang reminded him: "They asked you if you would like to marry your daughter."
Wasn't it already engaged? He was muttering in his heart. Su Daqiang quickly nodded and said: "Yes, yes"
I'm so tired. I can't help it. Marrying a daughter is so troublesome? Fortunately, I only have one daughter. I have to do it a few more times. Isn't it exhausting?
"Thank you for your help," Wang Ruian said with cupped hands. The matter was finally settled. Although there were no twists and turns, I was very tired.
Both sides feel tired, this matter is over.
Yunjing wants three matchmakers and six beauties to marry Su Xiaoye in a glamorous manner. The process still has to go through. You can't just take her back and get it done, right?
Su Daqiang grinned and said: "It should be done"
Yunjing: "..."
Why are you so polite?
Jiang Susu said at this time: "From now on, we will be a family. We need to move around more and get closer."
"Yes, yes, we are a family," Su Daqiang nodded, thinking that we have been a family for a long time. Hey, don't tell me, it feels really different after being together like this.
As to why it was different, he couldn't say.
Jiang Xiaoxi, who was accompanying him, took out an object wrapped in red silk and handed it over and said, "This is the engagement letter. Please take a look at it and see if there is anything wrong with it."
Liu Yue'e took it and was a little stunned after opening it. First of all, it was very heavy, weighing ten or twenty kilograms. The letter of appointment was actually made entirely of real gold!
Is love stronger than gold? She thought to herself, Liu Yuee still knew this saying.
Accepting the engagement letter means that her family fully agrees to the marriage. This is a process, and it does not conflict with Yunjing and the others' engagement since they were young.
The appointment letter made of real gold was engraved with Yun Jing's date of birth, which only occupied half of it. The other half was naturally reserved for Su Xiaoye. Her family had no objection and engraved Su Xiaoye's date of birth on the spot.
Originally, it was not easy to engrave things on a real gold engagement letter, which required specialized craftsmen, but it was not a difficult task for everyone present, and it was completed on the spot.
On the front of the letter of appointment were the birthdates of Yun Jing and Su Xiaoye, with a large word "happy" occupying most of the area, and on the back were the words "co-married".
Many processes have been simplified. Anyway, the first process of the three books and three rituals has been completed, but the process is a bit incomplete, so the problem is not big.
This is just the first step, and the change of address will come later. Therefore, Yunjing cannot call his father-in-law and mother-in-law in front of everyone, and Jiang Susu and the others cannot call them in-laws. There will be a special process of changing the name during the tea ceremony later, but
This time it has been like this, and it will definitely be a simple process later on, otherwise it will be embarrassing if Su Daqiang and the others cannot connect.
"Where's Little Ye Zi? Why haven't I seen her yet?" Yun Jing couldn't help but wonder.
After the process was over, she didn't even see her real owner.
Aunt Wang joked: "Xiao Jing can't wait to meet his future wife."
"She was upstairs holding the quilt and was shy and didn't dare to see people. She is usually very carefree, but today she actually became coquettish." Liu Yue'e exposed Su Xiaoye on the spot.
Su Daqiang said: "How about I drive her down? It would be outrageous for her to not show up to so many guests."
"No, no, it's normal for girls to be shy. You'll just get used to it in the future," Jiang Susu said with a smile. She came from her teenage years. Although she had never experienced it, she completely understood Su Xiaoye's mood at this time.
After the business was done, the next step was to chat and enhance their relationship. Although Yun Jing and Su Xiaoye had been engaged since they were young, and there was a lot of courtesy between the two parties, the parents of both parties really had little or no time to get together. This was the first time.
They are all from the lower class, and they talk about a lot of things, such as their parents' quarrels and so on.
After staying with Zuo for a while, Yunjing sneaked out of Su Xiaoye's house on the pretext of going to the bathroom. As he expected, Su Xiaoye sneakily climbed through the window and followed him.
She is now completely open, with bright eyes and white teeth, a slender figure, a slim waist, long legs, and bulging breasts. Her hair is simply tied back, and she sways as she walks. She is wearing a festive red dress, and her feet are
Buckskin ankle boots.
"Brother Jing," Su Xiaoye looked at Yun Jing in the woods and said with some trepidation.
Yunjing looked at her and joked: "Are you willing to give it up?"
"Oh, Brother Jing, please stop teasing me. I'm not like this usually, and I don't know what's going on. I'm just embarrassed to see people today," Su Xiaoye said shyly, stamping her feet.
Yun Jing laughed and said, "They say it's the first time for a big girl to get on the sedan chair. You haven't gotten on the sedan chair yet, but I understand. You'll just get used to it in the future."
"Brother Jing is the best," Su Xiaoye said with a smile.
Yunjing said: "I have already issued the letter of appointment. From now on, little Yezi, you will be mine."
"It's been a long time coming." When talking about this, Su Xiaoye was not shy at all. After all, she had made an engagement since she was a child. She knew that she would marry a man named Yun Jing from a young age, and then day by day, year by year, she would marry someone named Yun Jing.
Unknowingly, more than ten years have passed and we will soon grow old together.
Speaking of which, they are also childhood sweethearts.
Yunjing asked: "By the way, Xiao Zizi, in the future our wedding, would you like it to be lively or simple?"
"I don't care. Brother Jing looked at the arrangement and said, as long as it's you, I can do it." Su Xiaoye smiled and said, saying this, she was still a little longing and curious in her heart.
Yunjing said deliberately: "This is what you said, then I will ride a little donkey to take you home and that will be it."
"Haha, I'm not afraid. Let's ride on a little donkey and return home together." Su Xiaoye didn't care so much.
After chatting for a while, Yun Jing said: "I've been out for a while, I have to go back."
"Well, let's go back. And brother Jing, although I'm still embarrassed, I understand the rules. Don't worry, I will come out and serve tea to everyone later," Su Xiaoye said with a wink.
The two quietly walked forward and then separated.
In order to entertain Yunjing and others, Su Daqiang's family killed a big fat pig and prepared a banquet with the help of the villagers.
Although Miss Su was still shy, she still mustered up the courage to come out to meet the guests and serve tea. She was quite nervous at first, but when she came out, it wasn't that scary, and she quickly relaxed.
In the afternoon, when it was getting late, Yunjing and his entourage said goodbye and left despite repeated requests from Su Xiaoye's family to stay, agreeing to come back in two months to discuss the auspicious date of the zodiac.
When they were parting, Su Xiaoye secretly told Yunjing that she would go to play with him in two days, and Yunjing was naturally happy to accompany her.
After Yunjing and the others left, Su Xiaoye's family was troubled when they returned home. How to deal with so many gifts? There was no room for them at home. It was not a problem to put them outside. Let's find a way to stuff them at home first...
…
On the way back, Wang Rui'an was busy with his affairs. He took time out of his busy schedule and left midway. It's not that he didn't want to have more relations with Yun Jing, but he still had a sense of propriety in everything.
"Mr. Wang is very good. Although I just came here to go through the process, Xiao Jing, you have to think about my feelings. Of course, Xiao Jing, you are a person who does big things. Mom, I won't say more. You have to control your own sense of proportion.
", Jiang Susu warned after Wang Ruian left.
Yun Jing nodded and said, "Mom, don't worry, I know."
"You don't need us to remind Xiaojing to do things for others," Jiang Xiaoxi said next to him, and then joked: "By the way, Xiaojing, how do you feel now? After the appointment letter, the wedding has already begun, but you are going to start a family and start a business."
"How should I put it? I feel okay, but my shoulders seem to have suddenly become heavier." Yun Jing thought for a while and said.
Then Yunshan, who has always had no sense of presence, said: "I know that my shoulders are heavy. From now on, I will be the one who calls the shots. I have to think more about the consequences of everything. Don't think like before, just come out and leave sometimes."
I just can’t see anyone for a long time.”
Before Yunjing could speak, Jiang Susu said: "What do you know? Xiaojing is a person who does big things. Like you, there is nothing else except the one-third of an acre of land."
"Just spoil him." Yunshan was so angry that he lost his temper.
After returning home, my grandfather Yunlin, who was not with me, learned that the process went smoothly and he was happy to have a few more drinks. In the blink of an eye, his grandson was about to start a family and start a business. Time flies so fast...
The recruitment process went smoothly. A few days later, another piece of good news came to my door. Yun Dong, who was going to take the imperial examination, was on the list. Yun Jing, the eldest brother, had been rushing for a while before the examination, and his ranking was quite high.
, is now a scholar.
The person who brought the good news arrived first, but Yundong had to delay his return for a while.
Early that morning, Yunjing was just about to continue to improve and summarize what he had learned, when a pebble hit him quickly from a distance. It wasn't that someone was trying to kill him, but it was a way to attract his attention.
Then Shizi and Yunjing looked in the direction of the attack and found Su Xiaoye looking furtively towards this side and waving.
That day she said she was coming to play with Yunjing, and she actually came here a few days later. Her hair was still tied into a simple ponytail. She was wearing a dark blue printed tunic and riding boots. She looked capable and heroic. She also wore a
With his detachable spear, he looked like he was going to join the world.
Before they actually walked in, Su Xiaoye didn't have the nerve to come to the door, so she came to Yunjing secretly.
Seeing her, Yunjing said hello to his family and went to meet her.
"Little Ye Zi is here so early?" Yunjing walked over and said with a smile.
Su Xiaoye said: "It's getting late. It's been several days since I told you to come see Brother Jing that day."
"No, I mean the genius hasn't been around for a long time. You didn't come here before dawn, did you?" Yun Jing said with a smile.
She nodded directly and said: "Yes, I used Qinggong early in the morning and came here, so it will be very soon."
"Yes, yes, Su Nuxia is amazing. It takes one meal a hundred miles to get there."
"That's right. After all, I am also born in the late stage. Although Brother Jing helped me to improve, now my father can't beat me."
I always compare myself to your father, then you are really filial...
Not worrying so much, Yunjing simply gave himself a holiday and walked around with her. Speaking of which, the two of them had been engaged for so many years since they were young, and they really didn't have much time together, so he asked, "Where do you want to go, little Ye Zi?"
No matter where you go, it is very simple for Yunjing, and it is convenient anywhere in the world.
Su Xiaoye tilted her head and said: "I don't know where to go specifically. Let's go wherever Brother Jing thinks it's fun. Oh, by the way, I haven't seen Dahei for a long time. Let's go and see it first."
?”
"That's fine," Yunjing nodded. He understood that the big black Su Xiaoye was talking about was not the big buffalo of Yunjing's family, but the giant python. Speaking of which, Yunjing stopped paying attention to the giant python after he went to the capital.
I don't know what's going on now.
Su Xiaoye approached Yunjing and said, "Then let's go there quickly."
As he spoke, he twisted his slender and strong waist, as if to say, Brother Jing, hold me in your arms and fly over.
This is not the first time for such an intimate act. Both parties have already formed a tacit understanding, so the last step has to be left until after marriage.
Holding her waist, Yunjing took her into the air and flew towards the place where the giant python was entrenched. With Yunjing's current methods, even if it was in full view of everyone, as long as he wanted to, he would not attract anyone except the mythical realm.
focus on.
"Brother Jing, do you think my waist will become thicker after I give birth to a baby? It won't look good." Leaning in Yun Jing's arms, Su Xiaoye said with a little tangle. Now that she has reached the age where she loves beauty, where can she go?
Like before, I never thought about these issues at all.
Yun Jing put his palm against her waist, tightened it slightly and said, "No, Xiao Yezi, you are also a martial arts practitioner. Even after giving birth to a child, is it not easy to recover?"
"Yes, brother Jing, do you like boys or girls?" Su Xiaoye quickly turned her attention to this aspect.
"I like both boys and girls"
"Then I'll give birth to all of them for you. Hehe, if you give birth to a lot of babies, the house will be lively."
Little Ye Zi, I haven’t offended you, have I? Why do we have a grudge? There will be a lot of them... well, we can afford them, so we don’t panic at all.
Soon they arrived at their destination, but Yunjing stopped in the void, looked forward and let out a light sigh.
"What's wrong, Brother Jing?" Su Xiaoye asked confused.
Yunjing said: "Dahei is not here"
Yes, the giant python is not in the cave under the island in the lake. There is only a huge snake skin there, but there is no trace of it itself.
It should be noted that in order to allow the giant python to transform peacefully, Yunjing arranged a huge illusion array around it, but the giant python actually left the illusion array silently.
"Not here? What should I do? But where can Dahei go if he's so big?" Su Xiaoye said with a hint of regret. She liked "small animals" very much and she had a good relationship with Dahei from the beginning.
Giant pythons were big, but not necessarily today.
Yun Jing said: "We followed the traces of its departure and found that it went to the west."
It would be really difficult for other people to figure out the traces of the giant python's departure, but for Yunjing, it was a very simple matter. Even if it flew away, Yunjing could still follow the remaining traces.
As he led Su Xiaoye in pursuit, going further and further west, Yun Jing couldn't help but think of the few people who had besieged the giant python. One of them, Guo Yang, who was the Zhenyi Jing in the later period, was active in the northwest of Dali. Now the giant python
Are you going to seek revenge?
In the past, giant pythons were so big that it was difficult to travel, but now they have the ability to control their size.
Then Yunjing thought about the recent rumors in the world that there are ruins appearing in the northwest desert, suspected to be left behind by the mythical realm, which attracted many people from the world to gather...
