Chapter 197: Marriage Proposal (1)

Liang Ke, who was sitting in the carriage, of course, didn't know that someone had suffered an unjustified disaster because of himself, and he was using the last bit of time to recall every detail that Kekeba said. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Gallent's marriage proposal ceremony is roughly the same, although there are slight differences in different regions, but the overall can be boiled down to two sentences, ten words. It is not only "asking and singing and; Huaguoqin book praise", that is, the four levels and six ceremonies, and the previous six words of "asking and singing", that is, the four passes, are the main process of the ceremony, saying that it is the four passes, but the main difficulty is in the first two passes, and the overall feeling is like when the couples of the Celestial Empire get married, someone makes a hole in the room and tosses the groom, but it is not so perverted. Liang Ke found that among the gifts that must be prepared, there is no such valuable thing as gold, silver and jewelry, but the blessings and praises of famous poets and predecessors, which shows that this nation pays more attention to spiritual exchanges and does not think that material is the goal of life.

Joanna and Ramboer are both empathetic girls, they both said that they would reassure Liang Ke and would never embarrass him at the ceremony, but Liang Ke was still a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, the elders would not tell him in advance what they asked, and as for the rest, they were even more bottomless, Liang Ke knew that there was no way back at this time, and he had to be weak-hearted. Master Narondo, the high priest of the hill dwarves who was invited to watch the ceremony, sat opposite Liang Ke, reached out and patted the back of his hand, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, who would refuse a young hero with unparalleled wisdom and bravery?"

Liang Ke raised his head and grinned, and said sincerely, "Please, master!"

According to Gallant's custom, a marriage proposal is a matter between two families, and all the man's actions must be approved by the parents, but also witnessed and blessed by the elders. Liang Ke, a lonely traverser, went to find the elders to witness, and in desperation, he remembered the credible and venerable High Priest of Narondo, so the pheasant brought him a request, and Narondo gladly agreed, and also brought the blessing of the patriarch of Barton.

The central square covers an area of more than 20 acres, and the black monument is taller than the royal palace in the distance, and the top of the monument stands the full-body statue of Gallant I, which is solemn and solemn against the background of the morning glow. It was still early, but it was already full of people under the founding monument, and the relatives and friends of the two daughters were already familiar with each other under the introduction of the children, and Chergus and Krupp had known each other for a long time, and it was not awkward to sit together and chat.

Originally, such a grand ceremony was for Liang Ke to come to the door in person, and the family begged, but Liang Ke had limited time, and the two girls didn't want to make their sweethearts embarrassed because of the order, so they discussed the two families together and set the location in the central square of the imperial capital, the reason is: In front of the public, see if this bad guy dares to take it seriously!

The Gallents did not have the habit of joining in the fun, but they heard that it was the magical dragon rider who wanted to propose to the two famous flowers of the imperial capital at the same time, and such a novelty had never been seen before, so some curious idlers gathered early under the monument of the founding of the country, stretching their necks to look at the entrance on the south side, wanting to see how this guy proposed to the two families together.

Without letting everyone wait for a long time, the morning dawn just crossed the top of the founding monument, and the huge carriage pulled by the four-headed three-headed dogs of hell drove in from under the arched triumphal arch, a gust of incense wafted by, and the carriage stopped steadily in the southwest corner, Tucker, who was dressed in steel armor, jumped out of the carriage first, he pulled out the folding steps from under the door, set it on the ground, and stepped on it with steel boots, to make sure that there was no problem, then opened the door and helped Master Naronto down. Although the old man was old and his body was weakened by the excessive use of witchcraft by treating his people all year round, he still tried to straighten his spine, wiped away two windward tears with his sleeves, and his gray eyes shone with wisdom.

Immediately behind Narondo, Liang Ke stepped out of the carriage with the carriage in hand. He was wearing a cream-white silk robe today, with a two-inch-wide pale blue ribbon tied around his waist, long black hair tied high into a ponytail, floating naturally behind his head, a pair of dark red cowhide boots at his feet, and a folding fan that had just been made in his hand.

Liang Ke's Chinese classical dress is a bit of a bad taste, but wearing it on his body really has an elegant and unworldly feeling, the Gallents are used to seeing tuxedos and black trousers, and they have never seen such a clothing style, it looks a little weird, but everyone has to admit that this high-necked, tight-sleeved robe can indeed bring out the man's extraordinary Yingba to the fullest, and some Miss and Mrs. are even screaming to express their obsession with the man or the clothes.

Liang Ke held the fan in his left hand, took two quick steps and dragged Narondo's arm with his right hand, so that the old man could walk more steadily. Under the guidance of Cocoba, this strange combination of height and height slowly walked towards the founding monument, Joanna and Ramboer held hands, watching their love in their hearts walk towards them step by step as promised, their eyes were full of tears of excitement, and under the stele stood full of celebrities and dignitaries of the imperial capital who were invited to watch the ceremony, and they were guessing who the thin old man walking in the middle was, who could make the viscount who was so respectful.

They walked for a full minute on this part of the road, and several people stood opposite Kai Tak Ans and Krupp, and Kekeba took the name card representing the identity of the head of the family from Liang Ke's hand, took two steps forward, unfolded the name card, and read aloud: "Aragorn Liang, the first viscount of the Gallent Empire, Lord of the Golden Cang, sincerely asks His Excellency Kai Tak Anse to marry your beloved grandson, Miss Joanna, and to His Excellency Krupp, and sincerely asks His Excellency Krupp to marry your beloved daughter Miss Ramboer, hoping to get the approval and blessing of the two elders. ”

After Cocoba finished reading these words, Liang Ke came out of the crowd, lifted his shirt and knelt on one knee, with tears in his eyes, his voice trembled slightly, and said sincerely to the two fiancées: "Aragorn swears by faith, I will hold hands with Joanna and Ramboer in this life, and never give up, I will protect your safety with my life, and I will do everything I can to make you happy, I hope you can give me such an opportunity." ”

Kai Tak Ans and Krupp withdrew their gaze from Liang Ke's face, looked at their own children, and asked seriously.

"Joanna ......"

"Rambore!"

"In the face of Aragorn's request, you ...... Would you like to?"

"I'm willing to ......"

"I do!"

The two girls nodded in answer without hesitation, and then looked at their lover with happy eyes. Liang Ke knew that his fiancée's answer was undoubted, but this was the beginning of the first level of "asking", and the trouble was still to come, before getting the permission of the woman's parents, he had to keep kneeling on one knee to reply, but fortunately, Kekeba had already prepared and tied a thick cotton pad on his knees, so that he would not grin in pain.

The two parents were disappointed for a while, it was really a big girl, and the boy coaxed away with a few good words, and promised to be happier than makeup. The two men glanced at each other with a wry smile, Krupp made a gesture of please sideways, and Kai Tak Anse smiled and nodded, looking at the High Priest of Naronto who was standing behind Liang Ke.

"Excuse me, who is this?"

Tucker, dressed in steel armor, raised his steel boots and took a step forward to the right, holding his head high and introduced, "This is the first wise man of the hill dwarves, the high priest of Naronto from Sky City. ”

None of the people present did not know the name, it was a great man as famous as the dwarven king Barton, and, in a sense, the high priest was more respected by the humans.

"Praise God! May the radiance of the high priest be with my God. ”

Kai Duc Ans expressed his incomparable respect for Naronto with a salute of the Holy Cross, and the Archpriest of Naronto bowed down humbly and nodded, then smiled and said: "Thank you for the blessing of Your Excellency, as an elder of Aragon, I have come today to witness the happy moment of this child, Your Excellency, please continue." ”

Narondo's words were unremarkable, but they were not ordinary to the ears of everyone. There are many races in this world, almost every race has its own distinctive characteristics, elves are good at magic and archery, and the title of the king of long-range attacks is well deserved; orcs have unparalleled brute strength, with fierce mounts, and their combat effectiveness is beyond imagination; demons are brave and fearless by nature, and everyone has natural abilities, so they dare to be enemies of the whole world; there are a huge number of human beings, although the single combat power is not strong, but through strict organization and the use of equipment, it can ensure that human beings have always stood in the dominant position of the continent. As the master of cutting-edge weapons, although the number of dwarves is not large, they have established an invincible position in melee combat by virtue of the advantages of weapons and armor, so the hot-tempered dwarves are an existence that no race dares to provoke easily.

No one had ever been able to gain their friendship with such a group of artillery, but today, the High Priest of Naronto stood behind him on behalf of the patriarch of Aragorn, a signal that undoubtedly showed the attitude of the city in the sky, and the nobles of the imperial capital looked at this young upstart with more awe and envy.

Kai Tak Anse took two steps forward, gently helped Liang Ke up, then put away his smile and asked seriously, "Are you sure you love Joanna deeply?"

"I'm sure!" Liang Ke's answer was categorical.

Seeing sincerity in his eyes, the old man nodded, squinted and continued, "So, can you tell me what you think love is?"

This is not an easy question to answer, and there is not even a textbook that can give a clear definition, but it is also a question that everyone cannot avoid, and we have to spend our lives to understand and practice, and perhaps, until the end of our lives, we may not be able to answer ourselves.

Liang Ke pondered for a moment, then asked Kekeba for his saber, and wrote a large traditional Chinese character "愛" on the ground with the tip of the sword, and he pointed to the words on the ground and said slowly: "In the ancient East, there was a wise people, they invented their own writing, this kind of writing is jerky and difficult to understand, but if someone masters this kind of writing, you will find that every word contains boundless wisdom.

This totem-like symbol is the word "love" in their writing, which consists of three parts, the upper, middle and lower, and each of these three parts represents different meanings. In their understanding, love is first of all endurance, men and women love each other because of each other's merits, but true love is just the opposite, when we can tolerate each other's laziness, greed, loftiness, arrogance, They believe that love must be based on each other's deep friendship, love is the sublimation and transcendence of friendship, and love is not strong without going through the wind and rain hand in hand; the most important thing is that both parties must work hard at the same time to reap the perfect fruit of love, rather than taste its bitter fruit. ”
