Chapter Seventy-Four: Marriage Proposal (3)

The day of selection is fast approaching. Early in the morning, Chen Qingzhi beckoned everyone to clean up, put on new clothes, and go to the city to go to Yang's Mansion together.

Everyone was riding horses, and Chen Sibao was driving a small cart with two delicate wooden boxes painted with vermilion lacquer. It was Chen Sibao's carefully prepared bride price - gold, silver, silk, jewelry, utensils, everything.

Chen Qingzhi took the lead, and the others surrounded Xu Jin like stars holding the moon, singing and laughing all the way, and then arrived in front of the Yang Mansion.

King Ye has been waiting here for a long time. Inside and outside the Yang Mansion, it is also full of lights and carefully arranged.

Chen Qingzhi as the man's brother, Ye Wang as the woman's father-in-law, after a courtesy between the two sides, Chen Qingzhi offered the bride price, Ye Wang happily accepted it, and instructed the cook to prepare the banquet immediately.

At this moment, someone at the door sent a congratulatory gift.

Chen Qingzhi and King Ye both showed puzzled expressions, "We haven't made any public announcements about this matter, why would anyone send congratulatory gifts?" ”

"Ah, the little monk knows who sent it." Hui Ze hurriedly explained, "It must be Wei Xun, everyone is a good brother, it must be a congratulatory gift from him." ”

"Wei Xun?" Chen Qingzhi frowned slightly, he pulled Hui Ze aside, and asked softly, "Hui Ze, I also neglected this matter, I think Wei Xun is ...... to Miss Yang It's going to be okay, right? ”

"No, Brother Chen, don't worry." Hui Ze smiled sincerely, "Wei Xun is a good man who stands up to the sky, after this incident, the little monk sincerely admires him." ”

"That's good," Chen Qingzhi muttered, "After all, we have received a lot of favor from Webster......

At this time, the congratulatory gift had already been delivered. Sure enough, it was sent by Wei Xun, with five hundred yuan and ten pieces of silk.

The banquet has been prepared, and King Ye warmly beckoned everyone to the table.

Chen Qingzhi smiled and proposed, "Actually, everyone here today is familiar with each other, let's not stick to those red tape rules, it's better to let Miss Yanran come out too, and everyone will be lively together!" ”

King Ye thought for a while, and said, "Yes, this Yanran has also been to your army several times, and I have already known you, so we will have fun together today!" ”

After speaking, King Ye instructed the maid to invite Yanran out and sit down together.

After a while, Yanran came to everyone.

Obviously, she has been carefully dressed up before, and today's Yanran is wearing a bright red embroidered robe, which looks extremely beautiful and moving - a green silk hair is neatly coiled, with delicate hairpins inserted on it, powdered eyebrows, and autumn water in her eyes.

Everyone stepped forward one after another to salute and congratulate Yanran.

Yan Ran looked a little embarrassed, Yu Tianshu laughed and said, "The girl's family is still the girl's family, Yanran has always been a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows, she will still be embarrassed at this time!" ”

Song Jingxiu pushed Xu Jin on the side, "Xu Jin, at this time, you should also go up and salute." ”

Xu Jin's face was already red to the root of his ears, but he still moved his steps and came to Yan Ran, although he looked a little stiff, he still saluted respectfully, "Yan Ran, that ...... I'm polite. ”

Yan Ran's face was also red, and she also bowed respectfully.

"Take a seat, everyone!" King Ye began to beckon everyone to take their seats again.

Chen Qingzhi and Ye Wang sat in the chief as parents, and then everyone took their seats in order.

At Chen Qingzhi's suggestion, for the first wine, everyone toasted Xu Jin and Yanran together.

After drinking this first wine, King Ye said to Chen Qingzhi with a smile, "Chen Hou, even if we have decided on our in-laws today, when are we going to set the date of this official marriage?" ”

"Well, since this family affair has been decided today, there is no need to rush to get married, you can hold off for a while." Chen Qingzhi also said with a smile.

Chen Qingzhi's words made King Ye and Yan Ran both show puzzled expressions.

King Ye hurriedly asked, "Why?" Is there any difficulty? ”

Chen Qingzhi glanced at Xu Jin, who was buried in his head, and then explained in a somewhat embarrassed whisper, "His Royal Highness King Ye, Miss Yanran, this family must be married, but Brother Xu Jin has some ideas......

"If there is a problem, we can try to solve it together," King Ye said anxiously, "We are already in-laws, what is there not to discuss?" ”

"Your Royal Highness King Ye, don't worry, please listen to the explanation below." Chen Qingzhi said soothingly, "After Miss Yanran is a famous family, Brother Xu Jin feels that he is not able to match Miss Yanran for the time being, so he told me before that he hopes to officially marry after he has made military achievements and won some fame." ”

"Oh, I see." King Ye breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xu Jin, "Xu Jin, you and I have also been on the battlefield, to be honest, with your heroic posture, fame is only a matter of time; Besides, Yanran doesn't have the concept of those portals, as long as you are happy, why bother with these trivial matters. ”

"I ...... I can't be wronged Yanran," Xu Jin said hesitantly, "I can't fight for fame, how can I treat her well......"

"Oh, what you said," King Ye was a little anxious, "This king said a big word, so that you two can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life." ”

"Is that the work of the great husband?" Xu Jin said categorically.

King Ye was choked by Xu Jin's words, and was speechless for a while.

Seeing this, Xu Jin straightened up and respectfully saluted King Ye, "His Royal Highness King Ye, I have no intention of offending. To be honest, since Brother Yang was gone, you have been taking care of Yanran, I am grateful in my heart, I really don't know how to repay your kindness; If I want you to continue to receive help after I get married to Yanran, then what else will I do? Although I came from a humble background, my father taught me to be a husband in the world, and he should stand up to the sky and the earth, and he is worthy of his heart! If His Royal Highness King Ye understands, please allow me some time, please rest assured, and please be a witness to all of you, I Xu Jin will live up to my beauty! ”

Xu Jin's words were loud, and everyone looked at him with some surprise.

The first to break the silence is another protagonist today.

Yan Ran picked up her wine cup, straightened up, and said to Xu Jin, "Xu Jin, I believe in you!" I also understand your thoughts, rest assured, I will wait for that day to come, I will always wait for you! This wine is the wine of your and my oath, drinking it is making a vow, I Yang Yanran, I will live up to Xu Jin in this life! ”

Yan Ran's words made Xu Jin feel excited, and he also picked up his wine cup, opposite Yan Ran, and drank it all together.

"Okay!" Chen Qingzhi couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration, "Miss Yanran is worthy of being the queen of the gate, how can she not be admired with such courage!" ”

"Well, in that case, this king can't say anything more."

"Miss Yanran, I won't wait too long," Chen Qingzhi said, "In a year, we will attack Xuzhou, and then I will definitely ask for merit for Xu Jin, please give him a meritorious name, and then it will be the day you get married!" ”

"It's best to be so natural," Yanran smiled and said politely, "but war...... It doesn't matter whether you make military merits or not, the most important thing is to come back alive. ”
