Chapter 131: To show sincerity
After choosing the date, things began, Fang Haikuo selected more than 20 disciples, and went down the mountain with the dowry he had purchased before, and sent more than a dozen disciples to follow him, acting as the number of people, originally Fang Haikuo still wanted to beat the gong and drum, but fortunately he was stopped by Gu Qing, saying that he was just going to the door to propose marriage, not to welcome relatives, Fang Haikuo didn't make it more exaggerated, and Du Lianyi and Elder Green also went down the mountain in person, and everyone came to Zaikong City with Nankong Qian.
Originally, the people of the empty city knew that Nankong Qian came to propose marriage with the people of Qilin Gate, and at this moment, seeing their huge battle for relatives, everyone believed it one by one, and the previous rumors were also self-defeating, they went all the way to the direction of the city lord's mansion, and the old city lord Ji and Mrs. Ji had already heard the rumors, and they were sitting and waiting in the main hall of the city lord's mansion at the moment!
When I came to the City Lord's Mansion, the guards at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, Nankong Qian was nothing, so he naturally got off his horse and walked forward, and naturally saluted each other, "I am the city lord of Jiangling City, Nankong Qian, I came to the door today to propose marriage, please let me know." Others waited in silence.
The guards were stunned for a moment, looking at each other, obviously, they were a little at a loss, but they still reacted quickly, hurriedly went in to report, and later, the old housekeeper in the city lord's mansion walked out in a hurry, and welcomed Nankong Qianqian into the mansion, and even the head of the Qilin Gate, Du Lianyi, the deputy head Fang Haikuo, and Elder Green and other disciples were also invited into the mansion, and at the same time, they also let people take the dowry in.
There were many people outside the city lord's mansion who were watching, and the old housekeeper didn't pay attention to them when he saw the situation, and turned his head directly into the mansion, he took the other disciples to the side hall to wait, and then invited Nankong Qian, the head and deputy head and the elder to the main hall, the old city lord Ji and Mrs. Ji were waiting in the main hall, and seeing that they were all coming, the old city lord Ji and Mrs. Ji hurriedly got up to greet them.
"I really didn't expect the head of the Qilin Gate to go down the mountain in person, it's really disrespectful!" Old City Lord Ji smiled politely, and Mrs. Ji on the side also smiled slightly.
"Old City Lord Ji is polite, we went down the mountain today, but we were entrusted by Nankong Qian, as his elders, to come to propose marriage. Du Lianyi also responded with a polite smile, and the old city lord Ji laughed a few times, and then motioned for them to take a seat, "Take a seat!"
"Hmm. Du Lianyi pursed her lips and smiled, and then the four of them sat down opposite each other.
As soon as he sat down, Nan Kongqian originally wanted to take the initiative to stand up and explain, but just as he was about to get up, he was glared back by a look from Elder Green who found it in time, and he immediately sat down again and was silent.
After drinking tea, the old city lord Ji took the initiative to speak, "I heard that you guys came down the mountain to propose marriage for Nankong Qian?"
As soon as the words fell, Elder Green spoke, only to see her smile slightly, and said to the old city lord Ji and Mrs. Ji: "Yes, after all, Nankong Qian is also a disciple of my Qilin Gate, as his teaching elder, the old city lord of Nan is gone, his marriage, naturally there is a Qilin Gate for him, I have long heard that he and the girl of the Ji family are engaged, but this marriage has been delayed again and again because of some unavoidable accidents, this child feels that he can't go away, so he entrusted us to come and propose marriage for him, so as to give Ji the old city lord and Mrs. Ji an explanation." ”
"I see. Old City Lord Ji and Mrs. Ji suddenly realized.
Du Lianyi also explained: "Old City Lord Ji, Mrs. Ji, I have already heard about it, this time it is indeed not right, he is young, impulsive, and inconsiderate, so that Miss Ji's reputation is damaged, and the old city lord Ji and Mrs. Ji's face is gloomy, and he is very reluctant to go, we all understand, and please ask the old city lord Ji and Mrs. Ji to have a lot, don't worry about him." ”
Du Lianyi said politely, the old city lord Ji naturally understood what he meant, but Mrs. Ji was a little reluctant, according to what he meant, he Qilinmen came to the door today to propose marriage, and he wanted her to obediently hand over his daughter? What did this treat her for! What did he treat Guan'er for!?
Perhaps seeing the unhappiness flashing in Mrs. Ji's eyes, Nankong Qian panicked, feeling that these words must have blocked Mrs. Ji's heart, and if it wasn't good, she would probably be even more dissatisfied with herself, and then stop him and Wan'er...... Thinking of this, Nankong Qian immediately stood up and knelt in front of the second elder to explain,
"Old City Lord Ji, Mrs. Ji, I know that I came to the door today, and it must have caused a lot of trouble to the two of you, but the gossip in Zaikong City before hurt Wan'er too much, I don't want to deal with this matter in a low-key manner, the reason why I let the head and the elder personally go down the mountain to propose marriage for me is because I want to take this opportunity to tell the people of Zaikong City that I really like Ji Wan'er and really want to marry her!
Please both of you for the sake of my sincerity, and make my marriage with Wan'er come true!"
Everyone was startled by Nan Kongqian's kneeling, but after listening to what he said, everyone couldn't help but be moved, even the old city lord Ji couldn't help but look at Mrs. Ji, signaling her to stop messing around, and Mrs. Ji was still angry, but after hearing Nan Kongqian's words, she suddenly softened her heart again, and she was really embarrassed for this child, to be honest, in fact, she had already been relieved when she heard that the people from Qilin Gate were going to come to propose marriage for him.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with Nankong Qian's child, but the previous things were too sudden, which made Mrs. Ji feel guilty, and now when she heard his words, she can finally rest assured, today Nankong Qian took the people from Qilin Gate to personally come to the door to propose marriage, and the people of Zaikong City naturally saw it in their eyes, and in the future, they will not say anything more.
So she smiled slightly, gestured to the old city lord Ji, and then said to Nankong Qian: "You are so hearted, and it really surprises me, it seems that you really like Wan'er and want to marry her, and Wan'er has already been devoted to you, since you have said so, then I have nothing to stop anymore, so be it." ”
After that, Nankong raised his eyes in disbelief, looking surprised and delighted, "Madame means ......"
Maybe the surprise came too suddenly, and he couldn't react for a while! Du Lianyi and Elder Green next to him both heard the meaning of this, and looking at Nankong Qian's sluggish appearance, Elder Green hurriedly reminded him in a low voice, "Don't hurry up and thank Mrs. Ji!" Before the words fell, Nankong Qian reacted and hurriedly kowtowed to Old City Lord Ji and Mrs. Ji to thank each other! Old City Lord Ji and Mrs. Ji glanced at each other comfortingly.
Things are going so smoothly, and Nan Kongqian didn't expect it, I thought that Mrs. Ji would make things difficult for him, but now it's okay, he can finally marry Guan Er openly, thinking of this, he can't help but be happy, Elder Green saw him laughing from the bottom of his heart like a child, and he also knew that he must have deep affection for Miss Ji, he was really envious of others!
Later, seeing that the matter was done, Du Lianyi proposed to go back to the Qilin Gate, after all, there were still affairs to be dealt with in the door, and the old city lord Ji and Mrs. Ji knew that he was in charge of the house, so they didn't keep much, and after dinner, Du Lianyi took Elder Green and Fang Haikuo and other Qilin Gate disciples back.
And Nankong Qian stayed for a while, because after today's matter is over, he will leave to return to Jiangling City in a few days, this time, I am afraid that he can really only wait for the day of marriage to see Wan'er again, so before leaving, he got the consent of the old city lord and his wife, and met with Wan'er.
The two sat at the stone table in the courtyard, admiring each other's white moonlight in the night sky, Ji Wan'er couldn't help but secretly look at Nankongqian, she had heard about today's events, she never thought that he would actually ...... will let the head of the Qilin Gate personally come to the door to propose...... It was really unexpected...... Especially the words he said in the main hall today, Xiang Yan told her, Ji Wan'er couldn't help but feel excited and happy when he thought of this, the corners of his mouth were full of smiles, and he looked at Nankong Qian and was almost distracted.
Nan Kongqian also seemed to feel Ji Wan'er's gaze, turned his head to look at her, in an instant, the two looked at each other, Ji Wan'er was startled, hurriedly retracted his gaze shyly, and turned away, and Nan Kongqian couldn't help but laugh when he watched her peek at herself and looked embarrassed and cute after being discovered by herself, he finally understood now what it was like to like someone...... He couldn't help but purse his lips and smile.
"If nothing else, I'm leaving for Gangneung tomorrow. ”
Nankong looked at her side face and said lightly, with a hint of expectation in his tone, after that, Ji Wan'er couldn't help but look back at him, his expression was both a little reluctant and a little surprised, "Tomorrow...... You're going back to Gangneung City?"
"Hmm. Nankong nodded shallowly, and Ji Wan'er suddenly lowered his eyes when he heard this, and his eyes crossed a trace of loss.
"What, can't you bear me?" Nankong saw that she was depressed, and there was a hint of happiness in his heart, he didn't want to continue to say these sad words to make Wan'er sad, so he could only pretend to joke with her easily, but unexpectedly, Guan'er not only didn't laugh, but also glanced at him lightly.
"What's wrong?" Nankong smiled and became scared.
"I just...... It's just a little sad to think you're leaving. Ji Wan'er was silent for a long time, and finally opened his mouth to tell him the truth, Nankong Qian's heart suddenly tightened when he heard this, he stretched out his hand, touched her head gently, and coaxed Ji Wan'er like a child, "Don't be sad, I'm just going back to my own home, besides, it's not that we can't see each other, after I go back, I will discuss with the old city lord Ji and decide on a good day and an auspicious day, when the time comes, you marry our Nan family, we will see you every day, every day, every year, how about it?"
