In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Xuanchen and Liu Qinian's family finished breakfast and were chatting in the yard while enjoying the warm sunshine, when Zhu Xuanchen suddenly stood up, stood up a little nervously in front of Liu Xianbin and Wu Xue, and knelt in front of the second elder. ”

As soon as the two of them wanted to hold Zhu Xuanchen up, they saw Zhu Xuanchen take out a jade Ruyi from his arms, and lowered his head and said solemnly: "Uncle Liu, Aunt Wu, I propose marriage to the two of you here, I hope you can agree to marry Qi Nian to me!"

Hearing this, the two of them were directly stunned, and Liu Qinian next to them was also shocked, but soon Liu Qinian reacted first, the expression on his face changed from surprise to joy, and after gently touching Liu Xianbin next to him who had not yet reacted with his elbow, he got up and covered his face and ran to the house to hide.

Liu Xianbin, who reacted, immediately laughed and shouted happily: "Okay, I'll answer ......"

As soon as he was halfway through speaking, he was covered by Wu Xue, and Wu Xue continued: "Xuanchen, the matter of proposing marriage is related to my daughter's life, and we as parents still need to discuss it with our daughter, you wait here for a while, it will be fine soon." After speaking, he immediately pulled Wu Xianbin and went to the house to find Liu Qinian, who was hiding.

Zhu Xuanchen, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at Zhu Zuwu and Wu Li nervously, Wu Li smiled and said: "The custom is like this, so that it seems that the daughter's family is reserved, how can I agree to you immediately, you kneel well, just wait for the meeting." ”

After listening to Zhu Xuanchen, he was a little relieved, continued to hold Ruyi, knelt on the ground respectfully, and looked at the room expectantly, Liu Qinian's figure could appear as soon as possible.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Liu Qinian to come out together accompanied by Wu Xianbin and Wu Xue, but at this time she had an extra gold scale in her hand, and there was a full heart-shaped gold in the small plate of Jin Cheng, Liu Qinian blushed, lowered her head slightly and slowly walked in front of Zhu Xuanchen, and then stretched out her hands, spread out the palm of her left hand upwards, and held the gold scale in her right hand.

After seeing Qi Nian come out with the gold scale, Wu Li was overjoyed and looked at Zhu Xuanchen, who was still kneeling on the ground and didn't know what to do, and said, "Hurry up...... Hurry up, exchange engagement tokens with Qi Nian, why are you still stunned. ”

When Zhu Xuanchen heard his mother's words, he knew that this should be Qi Nian's promise to him, so he hurriedly stood up, put Ruyi in Qi Nian's right hand with his left hand, and took the gold title in Qi Nian's hand with his right hand.

In the wedding customs of the mainland of China, the man and woman need to prepare their own engagement tokens, in which Ruyi represents the meaning of the man is Ruyi Langjun, and the gold title and gold heart prepared by the woman represent the meaning of the good wife, which together is the auspicious expectation of satisfaction, when the two parties exchange the engagement token, it represents the official engagement of the two families, and they can get married on a later date.

After witnessing the completion of the ceremony of exchanging tokens between the two, the parents of the two were overjoyed, and immediately went out to buy some candy and snacks, and then took the candy and snacks to invite the neighbors to prepare to drink the engagement wine tomorrow.

After Liu Xianbin and the others went out, Zhu Xuanchen looked at Liu Qinian affectionately, slowly walked over and hugged her gently, lowered his head and said in her ear: "From now on, I will protect you, love you, and never let anyone hurt you." ”

"Hmm" Liu Qinian smiled with joy on his face, rested his head tightly on his broad shoulder, and whispered.

The next day, with the help of the whole family and some neighbors, they worked all night, and finally prepared enough meals before noon and began to open the door to welcome guests, most of the people in Xuanyang City rushed to say goodbye, after all, the reputation of Liu Men Dart Bureau in Xuanyang City is not small, plus Liu Xianbin and Zhu Zuwu They usually like to be helpful, naturally they are deeply loved by the people in the city, and now their children hold an engagement banquet, of course people will flock to it.

However, Zhu Xuanchen and Liu Qi had very few guests, after all, they went to Xuanmen to cultivate at the age of eighteen, and they only knew a few childhood friends in the city, and they didn't want to invite friends from the cultivation realm, the first was that it was just an engagement banquet, and the second was that now that the war was imminent, it was inappropriate, so neither of them wanted to invite friends from the cultivation realm.

At this time, Zhu Xuanchen and Liu Qinian were sitting at the banquet with several middle-aged people in their seventies and eighties (in the Shenzhou Continent, mortals only begin to grow old when they reach one hundred and twenty), one of them said with a smile: " Xuanchen, I greeted you just now that you don't know me, which reminds me of a poem, the young and the old man who left home and returned, the country accent has not changed and the sideburns have declined, the children do not know each other, and the smile asks where the guest is from, hehe, the difference is that you are still young, but our faces are no longer young, we know you, but you don't recognize us, it really makes us a little jealous, haha~"

"Yes, when I was a child, we were a group of naughty ghosts who went around in trouble, playing, and frolicking, scene by scene is still in my memory, and now we are all grandparents, you are only engaged now, it really makes people cry and laugh, when I played at home when I was a child, Qi Nian always rushed to play husband and wife with you, hehe, I thought that the two of you would be the first to get married. The other man continued.

Another woman at the banquet laughed and said, "Speaking of playing at home, do you remember that when I was eight years old, I ran home crying and ran home before I played at home, do you know why?"

Seeing that everyone shook their heads, only Qi Nian's face was slightly red and she lowered her head and didn't speak, the woman smiled and continued: "That time I wanted to compete with Qi Nian to play Xuanchen's wife, Qi Nian refused to let him die, saying that he couldn't pretend to be a concubine, he could only pretend to be a maid, but every time I pretended to be a maid, I was tired of playing, and then I cried angrily, I knew from that time that Xuanchen couldn't escape from Qi Nian's palm in this life, haha~"

A man shook his head and said, "So that's the case, alas~ Xuanchen don't think about taking any concubines in the future, don't think about this idea." ”

At this time, Qi Nian, who had not spoken, raised his head and said, "Hmph~ He dare!", as soon as these words came out, everyone at the banquet laughed.

Zhu Xuanchen raised his wine glass and stood up with a crying expression: "Speaking of when I was a child, Qi Nian used to bully everyone often with some martial arts, I'm really sorry, I'm here to accompany her, and punish myself with a glass." ”

Before the wine glass in Zhu Xuanchen's hand was brought to his mouth, he was stopped by Liu Qinian when he stood up, and said: "It's what I did wrong, why should I let you pay for it, and it wasn't you who bullied me the most when I was a child, sit down and I'll compensate everyone, I'm sorry, I'll punish myself for three glasses." ”

As soon as the words fell, a man said: "Eh~ It's normal for children to play around when I was a child, and besides, you're not a bully, it's just a little overbearing, these are all over, we don't feel at ease, just laughing, if you want to punish wine, then punish you for not coming to see us together for decades, I heard that you have come back a few times, but you didn't come to get together with us, so you have to punish the two of you, don't you say?!"

Everyone coaxed: "Yes, yes, this must be punished, and I heard that the physique of cultivators is different from us mortals, they can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, how can they only be fined three cups, what do you think of nine cups?!"

"Yes, and you want to drink a glass of wine, for a long time, do you say it's okay?!" As soon as this remark came out, it naturally won everyone's unanimous approval and applauded.

Zhu Xuanchen and Liu Qinian looked at each other happily and smiled, raised the wine glass in their hands together, and drank the nine cups of wine that meant a long time in the cheers of everyone, which was also the first time that the two of them drank the wine that symbolized the husband and wife.
