Chapter 115: Marriage Proposal

The friend threw the custom-made ring to his girlfriend and said proudly, "If you like it, you can wear it." Then, know where to drive tomorrow morning, right? ”

When the details of this marriage proposal were forced to be asked by a group of bad friends at the wedding, the audience was in an uproar. Everyone thinks that there is probably no such good-tempered bride in this world, and I am afraid that there is no groom who is so confident to the point of exaggeration. However, this is probably not a good standard.

When he heard Tan Weixin make things clear at that moment, Ye Tao's mind swirled with the light and shadow of this world and that world, millions of words of sweet words running in his mind like a waterfall in the famous opening credits of the movie "The Matrix", neon and floats, the staggered chips at the wine banquet, the flash lights blooming in an instant and the subsequent faint but obvious sound of battery charging, the cork sprayed with champagne accidentally hit the screams of the hotel waiter who ran the dishes, and the carefully stacked champagne tower collapsed and shattered to the ground. The beautiful bride in the wedding dress was poured out of a wet photo by champagne, and the men and women rubbed sparks with each other and were caught in the aisle...... He's been to too many weddings. As a guest who wants to prepare red envelopes, as a photographer who can get red envelopes but has no food, as a wedding host who ridicules a bunch of newlyweds and wants to rush up and cut him, as a waitress who has to fight for wine, and he will finally walk into that unique position.

Ye Tao didn't know what he thought of in his chaotic imagination, and his hands were trembling with excitement. His hand reached into his bosom and pulled out a bag of something...... Uh, that's the wallet. Annoyed, he threw his wallet on the ground and put his hand in his arms again, damn, this time with a pencil case and notepad...... And then. Jade pendant? Wrong! …… This traditional costume can really hide quite a lot of things in his arms and sleeves, and almost at the end, Ye Tao took out a small leather bag made of dark brown ground suede leather from his arms. Ye Tao carefully took out two rings from his leather bag. Two platinum rings, both precious and intricately crafted for their time, are set with diamonds that are crystal clear and pure.

The two rings are tied together with a bright red ribbon. The intricate and gorgeous knot of the ribbon is vaguely the kind that girls of a certain era like to show off their skills. Ye Tao was in a hurry, but he untied the pair of rings very carefully. Carry one with you. He was holding another ring. He stood up and slammed the chair he was sitting on to the ground in excitement. He knelt down on one knee and held the ring in front of the princess. At this moment, however, his mind became incomparably clearer, and he said in a deep and magnetic voice, "My princess, allow me to ask you to make your choice before any other choice pops into the mind of your earthly father. In this world, any two people who promise to join hands with each other for a lifetime is an adventure. Believe me, however, as the inventor and producer of the most sophisticated mapping tools of our time, I have set a very high goal for our adventure. And that goal: eternity. ”

Liu Yong, who was standing on the side, was already standing on the side at the moment, and his expression couldn't help but laugh in seriousness. There was some emotion and emotion. This is obviously not the way he understands any marriage to be successful, but he and his wife, as former sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, have not decided in a hasty and romantic way that they will work together for the rest of their lives?

Tan Weixin gently took the ring from Ye Tao's hand. The sunlight casts countless dazzling spots of light inside and outside the diamond. The incomparably hard platinum was carved into a tiny daisy, and a tiny petal surrounded the diamond of the right size. Something like that. Whether it is in terms of the difficulty of the process or in the sense, Ye Tao has no possibility of pretending to others. From Ye Tao's careful design and meticulous carving of the ring, you can understand how Ye Tao will cherish her lover and how she will take care of her fragile life.

A flash of water flashed in Tan Weixin's eyes, and she asked, "You have been carrying this thing all along?" ”

"Hmm." Ye Tao replied in a nasal voice. He didn't know how to explain the motive for carrying it all along, or he didn't know it himself.

"So. My reply is-", Tan Weixin put the ring on her finger, raised her hand slightly, looked at her hand carefully at this moment, and then put her hand in Ye Tao's palm.

Although Liu Yong and Tan Weixin's guards were not big-mouthed people, in the small square in front of the Yizhan Building, the news that Ye Tao proposed to the princess and obtained Yun Ke still spread all over the streets and alleys of Danyang, the capital of Dongping, before noon.

Although many children of the family have long regarded these two as an inevitable pair, they are still surprised by this way that does not conform to the rules of this era. What about matchmakers? What about the next hire? What about the parents' orders? These two people. Although everyone knows that they are mavericks. But I didn't expect them to be maverick to this point. However, the two of them are many friends. Many children of Danyang families and their respective families are happy to see this matter come to fruition, but they don't say a word about this unconventional procedure, as if they haven't seen it.

But Tan Xiaopei couldn't pretend not to see it. Ye Tao and Tan Weixin's actions can basically be regarded as a private life, and in the eyes of those neurotic officials, it is a major event that greatly dishonors the dignity of the country. But he vaguely knew that his daughter had found his own happiness, and he should be happy. Later, the inner court guards came with the news that Tan Weixin and Ye Tao had gone back to their mansions after meeting for a while. This kind of calm and plain attitude, as if their actions in the morning were just what they should have been, made Tan Xiaopei a little crying and laughing.

"Passing the Meal...... Pass the wine! After pacing back and forth in the study for a long time, Tan Xiaopei suddenly found that he felt so hungry. And while he wanted to have a good meal, he was so clear that he wanted to drink that little wine.

Naturally, Tan Xiaopei would not have lunch in the imperial study. Although he works from his own residence, he is not a raunchy soho after all. In the side hall, the waiter brought a table of small dishes, and put a small pot of mellow wine on the table, and Tan Xiaopei sat on the edge of the table so depressed, and even more depressedly picked up the small wine pot and drank it all.

"Someone. Bring another pot! Tan Xiaopei commanded.

After a while, Queen Zhuo Xiu walked in calmly with two pots of wine. "Your Majesty, why is the mood so good today?"

"Interested?" Tan Xiaopei smiled bitterly and said, "Come, Xiu'er, come and drink with me." ”

"Okay." Although Zhuo Xiu is the queen, she is also Zhuo Mang's younger sister, and she also had a bit of a bold bearing back then. It's just that this kind of bearing has been tempered by time into today's grace and generosity. She sat generously beside Tan Xiaopei and poured wine for the lord of Dongping and the father of their children.

"You don't know yet...... you don't know," Tan Xiaopei just wanted to say. was interrupted by Zhuo Xiu.

"How could you not know?" Zhuo Xiu smiled and said, "In the whole Danyang, probably not many people don't know, right?" But this kind of news spreads the fastest. ”

"Well, yes. Look at this ......" Tan Xiaopei drank it all again. The small wine cup is the right container for his drinking, and the small wine cup is really not too enjoyable for him.

"What are you not satisfied with? Do you agree with the marriage of the two of them? Or is it because Xin'er shouldn't have decided her own affairs privately? …… Or do you think that this father is not as good as an outsider in Xin'er's eyes? I know. You are not judging that some people outside are saying that they are losing the face of the royal family and causing a tantrum. Zhuo Xiuying smiled and said to her husband, who had known each other for many years.

Tan Xiaopei was stunned when asked, and he promised: "It's really not, the royal family's face...... Who doesn't know that the Tan family started as a bandit and became a warlord, and from a warlord to the head of Dongping a country. Although it has gone through so many generations. Others don't mention the original matter, but I don't pay so much attention to the face of the royal family when I talk about Xiaopei. It's just that...... Alas, although I didn't allow Ye Tao and Xin'er's marriage, at least I didn't say a word, right? Can't she ask me even so symbolically? ”

"Huh. You see...... Sure enough, you're jealous, right? Zhuo Xiu smiled very happily. The court rejected Xin'er's fold, she was resentful, maybe Xin'er was deliberately losing her temper. Besides, Xin'er has made up her mind and asked you, what is the difference between you and disagree? Do you really say no? So what else do you want to do with the empty head inside? ”

Tan Xiaopei sighed: "Alas, among a few children. Xin'er is the most determined, and she is also the smartest and most talented. If she weren't a woman and her body was so weak, she would have been a generation of male masters. In terms of the great cause of unifying the Central Plains, she is more important than Ming'er and Ran'er. Ming'er and Ran'er both understand this, so they are almost obedient to her sister. Don't you want to go through her with that fold? There are so many things involved, and there are too many people who oppose it. I'm a little worried. …… But. As a daughter, don't toss me like this as a father, right? ”

"Xin'er has always been like this. It's not that you don't know. If she really came to ask you about it, if you didn't say yes and hesitated a little, she would dare to toss the inner mansion so that you didn't even have money for drinking, wouldn't she? Zhuo Xiu teased.

"Yes," Tan Xiaopei was also amused, "Xin'er really did this kind of thing." ”

Immediately, Tan Xiaopei was a little worried, "Since the two of them have made up their own minds, forget it, I won't obstruct it." However, if Xin'er lets go of the affairs of the Inner House, who will take over? Tan Xiaopei looked at Zhuo Xiu seriously.

"The concubine body doesn't have to suffer from that." Zhuo Xiu smiled softly and shirked: "Xin'er will definitely arrange it properly, and when the time comes, she will have her own charter, so she shouldn't let you worry about it." However, there are a lot of people staring at this matter, so don't take it too lightly. ”

Tan Xiaopei naturally understood what Zhuo Xiu was talking about, and he nodded. sighed again: "Fortunately, Ye Tao is also an official now, and he can finally let him contribute in the future." ”

Zhuo Xiu smiled and reminded: "It's one thing to allow this thing, it's natural for your father-in-law to test your son-in-law, and you shouldn't let go of this opportunity too easily." You know, now you ask Ye Tao to do something, he doesn't dare not agree. ”

Tan Xiaopei's eyes lit up, and then he was a little nervous: "Is it all of a sudden, let Ye Tao's kid have too much power?" ”

"Too big?" Zhuo Xiu smiled: "Ye Tao is afraid of the power in his hands, but you are also afraid of the power given to him, guess who is so afraid?" ”

Tan Xiaopei thought about it for a while, laughed, he gently hugged Zhuo Xiu, and said, "It's good that you are here." Here, let's have a toast. ”

The next morning, during the morning court meeting, Tan Xiaopei announced his decision before everyone had any opinion on this "marriage proposal":

"The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, Ye Tao, the rank of general of the leading division, is eighteen years old. Born into a family of craftsmen, he has a long career in ordnance and other technicians, and is well versed in military affairs, and has outstanding talents, which can be regarded as a model for a generation of young people. Carefully examine their talents and have moral character, and they are all of the highest quality. I have the meaning of his fist, and Princess Zhaohua talks about Wei Xin Shangzhi. From now on, Ye Tao will be promoted to the rank of Captain of the Horse, the rank of Squire of the Jin Army, the rank of Squire of the Jin Ministry of Labor, and the rank of General of the Jin Guard. Princess Zhaohua talked about Weixin and gave Ziluan a guard of honor. The marriage of the two will be supervised by the Ministry of Rites, the Inner Government and other yamen from now on. Chin this. ”

"The matters mentioned in the "Consultation on the Qingluo Canal Excerpt" submitted by Shi Xiu, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, are indeed necessary after deliberation by the court. The excavation of canals and the dredging of tributaries should be carried out as soon as possible. Ye Tao, the head of the Ministry of Works, the head of the Ministry of War, the general of Wei, and the captain of the horses, was appointed as the governor of the canal, who was in charge of the canal repair. The household department and the military department fully cooperated. The river, civil affairs, military affairs and other affairs in the area involved shall be supervised by Ye Tao. Chin this. ”

As soon as the two decrees were issued, everyone was dumbfounded. What is this? While agreeing to talk about the marriage between Weixin and Ye Taodi, he immediately let Ye Tao out as a cow and horse. The construction of the canal is not a land that can be done in a short time, although the power is great, but the responsibility is also great. The relocation of residents, the organization and management of the people, the engineering design, and the management of the construction period involved in the construction of the canal are not easy to do. Ye Tao had to work hard for a while on the Qingluo Plain, which was not far from Danyang but not very close. Resting on others, building a canal is a fat mess, a little bit of bad intentions, and it is definitely a lot of money. But Ye Tao is not short of money, and he is not that kind of person. To marry someone's daughter, you have to work for someone else's family for nothing first. This old man deserves it, and he is really snobbish.

Tan Xiaopei didn't seem to care at all, he coughed on the throne and cleared his throat, saying, "Is there anything else going on today?" ”
