Chapter 221: Before Marriage (5,000 Words Update)

In this way, after Xu Qiming imprisoned Ji Wanyu and others, he did not stay idle and began to prepare for his own marriage.

Married to two girls at one time, Xu Qiming also saw this kind of thing for the first time.

"So, let's get started, lifelong events are not child's play, but how should this marriage be played?" On the morning of the third day, Xu Qiming found his father Xu Tiankai, his sister Xu Huijun, and Wang Yawen and Zhao Han.

Everyone looked at each other, a little confused.

"Ahem, lord, there are many kinds of wives, marrying a wife, marrying the right room, taking a concubine, I don't know what the status of Miss Wang Yuan and Miss Qingru is?" Zhao Han asked.

"What do you say?" Xu Qiming looked at him: "My bride price has been given out, the two families are the same, what do you say?"

"Oh, it turned out to be the right room, then I understand..."Zhao Han was not embarrassed, he thought about it: "When I married Yun'er and her mother, it was all this ceremony, first worship the ancestors, and then agree with the in-laws on the auspicious day of the zodiac, carry a sedan chair to marry on the same day, and finally feast the guests, worship the heaven and the earth, since they are all the gifts of marrying a wife, then follow this." ”

"Oh, what do you need?" Xu Qiming asked.

"Red cloth, eggs, lanterns, and candy should be prepared. Zhao Han counted with restraint.

"I see, then the head of the Zhao family, please help Qiming..."Xu Tiankai nodded again and again when he heard him say this.

"The old lady has won the award, and it is my honor to do things for the lord. Zhao Han said with a smile.

"Haha, I really didn't expect it, Zhao Han, you guy is also a knowledgeable person, well, my wedding will be handed over to you, you look at it, the money is enough." Xu Qiming was still a little anxious, and when he saw Zhao Han understanding it like this, he was relieved, and he immediately wanted to be the shopkeeper.

"Please rest assured, Zhao Han will definitely do it for you, so that you can marry Miss Wang and Miss Qingru in a beautiful manner. Zhao Han patted his chest and said.

"Well, this matter is done, and I have a big reward. Xu Qiming looked at him with satisfaction.

"Yes!" Zhao Han's face was excited, if he could handle this matter well, Xu Qiming would be more at ease with himself.

"By the way, when it comes to the wedding feast, do you want to invite some important guests? Wang Yawen asked.

"Important guest... I'm going to set up a big table in the martial arts arena and invite the chef of Jianghai Restaurant to stir-fry the dishes, and we'll have a banquet and invite all the people in the town, it's enough pomp, right?" Xu Qiming thought for a while and said.

"Yes, Wang Yaowen's predecessors are from the eldest lady's family, and he will definitely come, and there should be no important guests, and the other is the people of those families in the West District, these are almost the same..."Wang Yawen nodded.

"Okay, Brother Wang, please find a few subordinates who can write, write invitations, and send them to every household in Qingzhu Town. Xu Qiming commanded.

"Don't worry, I'll leave it to you..."Wang Yawen nodded.

After a group of people finished chatting, they dispersed and went to help things.

It is worth mentioning that Zhao Han recruited waiter housekeepers very quickly, recruiting dozens of them in one day.

Xu Qiming sifted back and forth, leaving behind more than 20 experienced and hard-working waiters, as well as three cooks and a housekeeper.

The three chefs were sent by the Wang family, saying that they were afraid that Wang Yuan would not be used to eating the food at home, so they sent them over to help.

Of course, Xu Qiming accepted all the orders.

As for the housekeeper, Xu Qiming's requirements are a bit high, at least he has to be a beginner martial artist.

So Xu Qiming posted a notice, and finally found a martial arts master 2 housekeeper yesterday evening, a man named Qi Chu, who was about thirty years old.

The profession of housekeeper is different from that of subordinates, which is to manage all things in the house.

After Xu Qiming's review, he also stayed.

In this way, the Xu family initially completed the formation.

As for how these newcomers will live, Xu Qiming plans to expand a new courtyard at the back of the courtyard for the waiters to live, and Yu Long and Yu Fei are busy in the back.

Xu Qiming also has considerations, firstly, the Xu family has just been established, the scale does not need to be too large, more than 20 people can take care of it, and secondly, Xu Qiming is also worried that the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, afraid that someone will steal or stumble on his own home, and he has no heart to deal with these things, so he didn't do much, he reviewed them one by one, approved the salary, and then came in with confidence.

As for Qi Chu, Xu Qiming was also relieved, because he was recommended by Jiang Ping, and it was said that his strength was okay.

"Lord, old lady, tea is here..."Half an hour later, in Xu Tiankai's bedroom, Qi Chu respectfully served food to the two of them.

"Well, you step aside, I have something to say to my father. Xu Qiming nodded, and Qi Chu slowly retreated.

"Father, are you looking for me?" asked Xu Qiming respectfully.

"Well, don't be too restrained, the two of us are serious father and son, you have grown up and are about to get married, I won't say much, I just want to talk to you. Xu Tiankai looked at his son, and his voice was very soft and gentle.

"Please preach to my father, and Qiming will listen to him and keep it in mind. Xu Qiming said.

"In the blink of an eye, you are about to get married, back then, you were still a little baby, and now you are so old..."Xu Tiankai looked at him kindly.

"It's all my father's credit, thank you for raising me, I will be filial to you for the rest of my life. Xu Qiming knelt in front of Xu Tiankai and kowtowed.

"When I was a child, I was strict with you and beat you at every turn, do you hate me?" Xu Tiankai asked with mixed feelings in his heart.

"Don't hold grudges..."Xu Qiming replied: "Back then, I was too naughty and didn't know how to cultivate, so I liked to play, and you played well." ”

"That's good, there are not many martial arts sects in Jianghai County now, now you are also a martial arts sect, and you still rule the western region, don't be complacent, if you don't move forward, you will be eliminated by those who come after. Xu Tiankai nodded, his eyes deep.

"Qiming remembers his father's teachings..."Xu Qiming said solemnly, Xu Tiankai is right, Tang Wei and his son, Ji Jiancheng are all examples.

But he's not that kind of person, and he's definitely going to go to the next level.

"Really, you kid is better than me, you actually marry two at a time, tell you, don't give up, don't pamper one, I've seen those two girls, they're both good, they're good girls, you can't let them down. Xu Tiankai smiled when he mentioned his two daughters-in-law, and seemed to be very satisfied with them.

"Hmm... By the way, father, do we have anyone in our family who would like to be invited?" Xu Qiming asked.

Xu Tiankai was silent for a while, first nodded, and then shook his head.

"What's wrong?" Xu Qiming was puzzled.

"Yes, yes, I haven't been in touch for a long time..."Xu Tiankai sighed.

"Then please come too, no matter whether people come or not, you can always get your heart. Xu Qiming said.

"You're talking too... But the father doesn't know where the other person lives. Xu Tiankai said embarrassedly.

"Okay then..."When Xu Qiming heard this, he had no choice but to give up, and then he thought of something, and asked: "Where is my mother's grave, I want to tell her about this big thing, and my mother will definitely be happy for me." ”

After hearing this, Xu Tiankai's face changed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Xu Qiming was stunned.

"Nothing... There is no one in our family who needs to sweep the grave, Qiming, this piece will be exempted. Xu Tiankai showed a complicated expression, his eyes were vicissitudes, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

Xu Qiming had never seen Xu Tiankai show such a person, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

It felt like a boulder standing on a cliff on a mountain, lonely and desolate.

"Doesn't grandfather have it either?" Xu Qiming's face sank, and he didn't feel very comfortable.

"No, my grandfather's grave is not here. Xu Tiankai shook his head and looked at him apologetically: "I'm sorry kid, we fled here, we don't have any relatives, only you and Xiaohui." ”

"Well, it's okay, there's nothing to apologize for, I just want to tell my mother about getting married, so that she can be happy, if not, I don't force it. Xu Qiming shook his head and said with a smile, but his heart was very bitter.

After chatting with Xu Tiankai for a while, Xu Qiming left...

"Kid, I'm sorry... Ahem..."Xu Tiankai saw Xu Qiming's loss, but he couldn't do anything, muttered, and then coughed violently.

"Is it almost time?, the children haven't grown up yet, I don't want to leave so early..."Xu Tiankai covered his mouth, tried to keep his voice quiet, and then looked at the inconspicuous bloodshot phlegm in his hand tremblingly, his eyes were full of helplessness, and then he smiled: "It's okay, this life is so long, everything is like this, anyway, Qiming can already be on his own, with him, Xiaohui I don't have to worry..."

After Xu Tiankai finished speaking, he leaned his head back on the chair, closed his eyes, and rested.

...........

Xu Qiming didn't know what was happening in the house, and he was still disappointed at this time.

There was no family to come, and there was no one to pay tribute to, Xu Qiming was a little disappointed and a little sad.

"My lord..."At this time, Qi Chu came again.

"What's wrong?" Xu Qiming barely pulled himself up.

"Miss Dongfang is here..."Qi Chu said.

"Huh, Qingru is here?" Xu Qiming hurriedly walked out.

"Qiming!" Dongfang Qingru, who was standing at the door waiting, finally changed her calm face after seeing Xu Qiming, and waved her hand at him.

It can be seen that she is in a good mood.

"Hmm..." Xu Qiming also waved his hand at her, and then glanced at Qi Chu beside him, Qi Chu suddenly understood and retreated respectfully.

"When you come, just come in, why are you still twisting and pinching. Xu Qiming walked over and reached out and knocked on her head.

"Hehe, isn't this a reflection of dignified, let's not talk about this, how am I dressed?" Dongfang Qingru smiled, her little face was puffy, and her eyes were full of anticipation and asked.

"Hmm..."Xu Qiming noticed the dress of the beautiful woman in front of him, and he was a little familiar: "Dressed in green clothes, this dress is so familiar, I can't remember it." ”

"What a brain!" Dongfang Qingru suddenly frowned, and her face was full of unhappiness: "This is the clothes we wore when we met in Lingfeng County!"

"Eh, how do I remember that you followed me?" Xu Qiming teased her.

"you!" Dongfang Qingru punched her face with a blush, but it was a light blow, like... The little couple is flirting?

"Okay, okay, let's talk about it, what's the matter with me? Why don't you wait for me to marry you at home, what are you running around?" Xu Qiming asked in a deep voice.

"Of course I'm looking for you for something..."Dongfang Qingru smiled sweetly, her beautiful face with a smile was really intoxicating: "Qiming, accompany me to see my parents..."

"Eh, father-in-law and mother-in-law?" Xu Qiming was stunned.

"That's right, Master said, it was the corpse that Master collected for his father and mother back then, and it was near Longyun Mountain. Dongfang Qingru nodded.

"Eh, do you want me to go?" Xu Qiming was stunned for a moment and said.

"Yes, I heard from the ladies who live next door that if both parents die, they need to be accompanied by their unmarried husbands. Dongfang Qingru lowered her head and said shyly, "Can you come with me?"

"It's okay, it's also my responsibility as a son-in-law to worship my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Xu Qiming nodded.

"Thank you Qiming!" When Dongfang Qingru heard this, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up and she threw herself into Xu Qiming's arms.

"What a silly chick... Whatever you say... Can I still not agree?" Xu Qiming smelled the fragrance on her body and said softly.

"Then without further ado, let's go together. Xu Qiming immediately agreed.

"Hmm..."Dongfang Qingru said happily, and the two of them led the horse out.

"If anyone comes looking for me, please wait in the main hall first, and I'll be back soon. Xu Qiming commanded.

"Yes!" said the waiter respectfully.

Then the two of them rode out of Qingzhu Town and headed for Longyun Mountain.

Dongfang Qingru's parents died sixteen years ago, on the eve of the scuffle between the three major families, as the then lord of Jianghai County, the fall of the Dongfang family is really weird.

The Tang family and the Ren family slaughtered the Dongfang family, and then the director of the Ren family, Kun, succeeded to the throne and became the county lord of Jianghai County.

Then, there is the scuffle between the three major families.

The history of that period is too complicated, and the old people of Jianghai County know that there are different opinions, just like now, and there are still people discussing what is going on with the huge sword mark from the southern district, to the central district, and then to the northern district.

Because neither the lord nor Hai Linghou spoke, it is still a mystery.

However, Xu Qiming estimated that the Dongfang family should be targeted by that stronger family.

The political situation of the Yulin Kingdom is complicated, with eighteen states and three hundred and twenty-two counties under its rule, and each of them has a great network of relationships behind the county lord and governor.

For example, in Yuanzhou, Ouyang Fei, as the son of the prime minister and the marquis who governs the place, represents the voice of the Ouyang family, and the one of the sixteen counties under his command is not the protégé of the Ouyang family.

And Dongzhou is the personal disciple of the great general Long Xuanyue, Zeng Liang is the ruler of Hailinghou, and the voice is of course to support the general Long Xuanyue.

The rest of the states and counties, of course, are all people who have a relationship with the Twelve Martial Saints.

Xu Qiming doesn't like to understand these complicated things, but Xu Qiming can be sure that the Dongfang family is provoking some powerful family.

It is also possible that it has provoked the Reverse Blood Dragon Gate.

Xu Qiming recalled that Lin Hong, and felt afraid for a while.

What he has to deal with is a group of strong men under his command.

The most terrifying thing about the Anti-Blood Dragon Gate is, of course, that every state and county has their intelligence network, I am afraid that at this moment, Xu Qiming established Qingzhu Town, and the intelligence of ruling the Western Region is already in the hands of their various leaders.

However, Xu Qiming is not nervous, because he is another martial god as a master, it is estimated that the Anti-Blood Dragon Gate also knows about it, and I am afraid that they will have to weigh it if they make another move.

In short, Xu Qiming is now safe...

But these have nothing to do with now, Xu Qiming wants to worship his father-in-law and mother-in-law first.

About half an hour later, Xu Qiming and Dongfang Qingru came to a forest, where the weeds reached waist-high, very panicked, surrounded by sparse trees, different shapes, not far away, it seemed to be a few small houses like low buildings.

"This is it. Dongfang Qingru pointed to the houses: "This is where my father, mother and sister live." ”

"It seems that no one has been here for many years," Xu Qiming muttered to himself.

"Yes, the last time I came with Master was half a year ago. Dongfang Qingru nodded.

"Then why don't you call me?" Xu Qiming asked strangely when he heard this.

"Because you were too busy at the time, I also happened to know that I lived here, so I begged the master to bring me..."Dongfang Qingru said, looking for the sheep intestine path that was opened up at that time: "Speaking of which, it was the first time I worshiped my parents..."

"I see... Then I'll take you to see them more..."Xu Qiming heard it and said generously.

"Thank you..."Dongfang Qingru heard this, her heart was warm and very moved.

In this way, the two of them walked one after the other, and came to the tomb of Dongfang Qingru's family along the sheep intestine path.

A couple of small mounds ...

It is covered with weeds, and at the front is an old stone tablet that reads: Dongfang Sheng, the former county lord of Jianghai County, and the tomb of Liu Hong, a county lord's mansion.

The stele was covered with dust, and it looked like no one had been here for a long time.

Xu Qiming believes that before Dongfang Qingru came, this place must have been even more desolate.

"Daddy, mother, little sister, I'm back..."Dongfang Qingru looked at the stele sadly and said softly.

Xu Qiming looked at the smallest mound on the right, and the one buried in it was Dongfang Qingru's sister.

After Xu Qiming finished speaking, he walked to the back and began to pull out the weeds on the grave, and Dongfang Qingru also came to help.

"Daddy, mother, little sister, this is Xu Qiming, my fiancé..."Dongfang Qingru whispered: "It's his revenge for me... Tang Wei and Ren Kun were killed by him, and the Tang family and the Ren family also disappeared from the world, rest in peace. ”

With that, she sobbed quietly, and crystal clear tears continued to flow from her eyes and drip on the mound.

Xu Qiming didn't say a word, and carefully pulled out the grass on it, with a sense of ceremony, as if he was doing a big thing.

After pulling the weeds, Xu Qiming walked to the stone tablet and knelt on the ground, completely ignoring whether the soil would stain his clothes, and knelt down.

Take out the incense burner and burn the incense.

"Father and mother, son-in-law Xu Qiming. Xu Qiming said, his head clasped on the ground: "Please rest assured, the son-in-law will take good care of Ru'er, and he will not let her be wronged again..."

Xu Qiming sincerely bowed to Dongfang Qingru's parents, although he didn't know if they would know, but in Dongfang Qingru's opinion, Xu Qiming was really good to himself and very attentive.

"Please father-in-law and mother-in-law to drink..."Xu Qiming said solemnly, took out the wine in the storage ring, poured a few glasses on the ground, and then kowtowed a few times.

Dongfang Qingru also followed Xu Qiming's way and worshiped her parents.

The two of them stayed here and waited until it was almost noon.

"Alright, the worship is over, let's go back. Xu Qiming looked at the still dazzling sun and said.

"Let's go to dinner, I'm in for a treat, let's go to Jianghai Restaurant." Dongfang Qingru smiled: "It's rare that you have time to come out, it's okay to accompany me." ”

"Okay, okay... I know..."Xu Qiming originally wanted to refuse, but it didn't seem to be anything to do when he went back, so he agreed.

"By the way, Qingru..."Before Xu Qiming got on the horse, he asked: "I didn't give you the position of your wife, I'm really sorry for you." ”

"It's okay, anyway, Yuanyuan is also a flat wife, and the two of us have no opinion. Dongfang Qingru smiled slightly, and then turned over and got on the horse: "Okay, okay, let's talk about this then, let's go eat, I'm dying of hunger." ”

"Haha, okay, you can eat as much as you want. Xu Qiming smiled slightly and turned over on his horse.

Originally, I was still worried that Dongfang Qingru would be unhappy, but now it seems that the other party is still very open-minded.

As for marrying Ouyang Jun at that time, let's talk about it later, maybe the relationship between the two will get better in these days.

Anyway, it's still a long time....
