II-Chapter 75: Marriage Proposal

Chinese New Year's Eve, not necessarily the thirtieth, in fact, it is very likely to be the twenty-eighth or twenty-ninth year, the scientific name Chinese New Year's Eve, or Chinese New Year's Eve, because this night is the last night of the year, so in the minds of the Chinese, it is as important as the Spring Festival, in the minds of the Chinese people, the Spring Festival does not start from the beginning of the year, but from this night. However, with the development of society, this night has gradually faded in the minds of the young generation who live a compact life, and the national government has also proposed that the Spring Festival holiday should start from the Chinese New Year's Eve under the proposal of some so-called representatives.www.biquge.info If you work in the city, it's okay, you can go home later, but if you work in the field, you will basically forget the day of Chinese New Year's Eve.

Wu Tian's holiday started a long time ago, originally did not have to worry about not being able to spend the Chinese New Year's Eve at home, but unfortunately Su Xiaojie still had to go to work, and her vacation would not start until after work, so Wu Tian, who rushed back from Hong Kong, could only accompany Su Xiaojie to take the last flight back, and then take a helicopter home in the provincial capital, although it was late, but it would not be past zero hour.

The thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, on this day to welcome the new and go to the old, is a time for the family to gather together for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. On this night, forget the pressure from life for a while, no longer care whether it is an extra piece or a few cents, and try as much as possible for the family to put on the most sumptuous dinner of the year, of course, this is already a childhood memory, in today, with the prosperity of the country, except for a very few particularly poor families, it is still a simple thing to have a sumptuous dinner.

Wu Tian's family is naturally a wealthy family, and naturally they don't have to worry about money for eating and drinking, but only about the hobbies of the family. However, in China, there is no feast without chicken. There is no banquet without wine, and such rules must be observed. So even though no one wants to eat chicken, there still has to be a plate of chicken. No matter what, you have to put a bottle of wine.

There are usually not many people in the old family, even if Wu Zhenyong did not go to the provincial capital, there are only a total of them, but on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Wu Yongming's family of three returned, and even Wu Jianna's family of three also returned here for the New Year. Although Wu Tian's brother-in-law Chen Zhengyong also has his own home, who is called the Wu family, I believe that this situation will exist in many rich families. However, these are not the reasons why the Wu family is particularly lively, and what happens every year is naturally not special. What makes the Wu family special is that Wu Tian is going to bring his prospective daughter-in-law back.

Wu Zhenyong let everyone know Wu Tian's status in the form of a document in the company, and on the side of his hometown, he also wanted to announce it to several clan elders in the ancestral hall. The Wu clan has a long history, but the current clansmen are basically the collateral of the original Wu clan, only Wu Zhenyong's family is still relatively close to the blood, and the others are very distant collateral families, and some are spread by servants with surnames, so the population of Wujia Village is not small. But the patriarch is all served by Wu Tian's family, and it is obvious that the next generation is Wu Tian.

Wujia Village still retains a strong ancient atmosphere, with a clear distinction between respect and inferiority. In the village, Wu Tian's family is a special existence, and everyone's eyes are fixed on this side. It can be said that the family is prosperous, and the whole village is prosperous. A family humiliates the whole village. And in China, there is no queen, so the future patriarch will start a family. It's a huge thing in the village.

In the Wu family, a table of banquets has been set up, and most of the table is Su Xiaojie's favorite dish. Under Li Lan's "forced questioning", although it was a "forced questioning" on the phone, Wu Tian still insisted on telling all the dishes he had eaten when he had dinner with Su Xiaojie in Kyoto, and finally got to the position of most of the table. And in the hall next to the dining room, all kinds of gifts account for more than half of the hall, this is a gift from every family in the village when they come to visit, the daughter-in-law of the future patriarch, that is half the master of the clan, the son of the future Dan, that is the future patriarch, this is already a scornful thing in the eyes of modern people is still extremely important in Wujia Village, of course, the ceremony is here, but the clansmen did not see Su Xiaojie, because Wu Tian came back a little late, and the clansmen dispersed early.

"Xiaojie, eat! It's the same at home!" Li Lan sat next to Su Xiaojie, she didn't even look at the dishes that she had made all night's hands on the table, a pair of eyes only stared at Su Xiaojie, and they all narrowed into a line, "Xiaotian, pick up the vegetables!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Wu Tian on the side, because he ignored Su Xiaojie beside him because he was talking to Wu Yongming and others, was glared at by Li Lan, and hurriedly stretched out his chopsticks to pick up vegetables for Su Xiaojie.

"Enough, enough!" Su Xiaojie originally showed Li Lan a slight blush, but in order to leave a good impression in Li Lan's heart, she couldn't bear to bow her head, and when she saw the three major sandwich dishes that Wu Tian had brought over, she couldn't help but hurriedly stop Wu Tian from clipping it again.

"Xiaotian! look at you, it's so full, tell people how Xiaojie eats, take it away, take it away!" Li Lan is of course helping her future daughter-in-law to speak for everything now.

"Okay, good, good!" Wu Tianer didn't say a word, and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the dishes on Su Xiaojie's rice noodles.

"Hey, every little bit is taken away, it's all taken away, what else does Xiaojie eat?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Wu Tian agreed, not daring to take away all the three dishes he gave to Su Xiaojie, but he agreed, but each dish was tightly covered by another, and it was still quite difficult to do a little bit of each.

However, Wu Tian was not stupid, and hurriedly went to get another small plate, specially serving dishes for Su Xiaojie, and sandwiched a little bit of each on the plate, which finally made Li Lan nod very satisfied and said nothing more.

On the table, the happiest eaters were naturally Wu Yongming's son Wu Tianxiang and Wu Jianna's daughter Chen Guxue, and the most nervous was naturally Su Xiaojie. Originally, Su Xiaojie had already made up a few dishes at home for this trip, and wanted to show her hand this night, but unfortunately it was already late when she arrived at Wu Tian's house, and the meal was already ready, so she didn't have a chance to play at all. But fortunately, Su Xiaojie is good-looking, and she is from a big family, and that temperament makes Li Lan and Wu Feng like it more and more. Generally, the big families don't pay too much attention to Wu Tian's family, mainly depending on whether Wu Tian likes it or not, unless Wu Zhenyong objects.

Of course, Wu Zhenyong will not object, Wu Zhenyong is clear about Su Xiaojie's family background, and Wu Zhenyong understands that if there is really anything wrong, he will object. It will only make the relationship between the grandfather and grandson more estranged, Wu Zhenyong will not be stupid enough to do such a thing. Unless Su Xiaojie really has a major problem.

In short, this meal was still relatively warmly eaten. And Su Xiaojie has also made preparations for tonight, no matter how verbose Li Lan is, she listens very carefully, although she will marry Wu Tian in the future, but she still has to take Li Lan, the queen mother, seriously.

After eating, the family chatted for a while, and finally dispersed, each going back to their respective rooms. After all, there are still many things to do on the first day of the Lunar New Year. And Wu Tian, it's not like he's going back to the room, he has already taken over the secret guard, and he has most of the power in the door, so he doesn't have to go back to the group to manage things for the time being, but with the secret guard, he will naturally get information from all over the world, and he needs a private space to deal with it, so near the village not far from home, a new building has been built for Wu Tian. The house was built two years earlier. It's just that Wu Tian doesn't know, since he took over the secret guard, the house has only been renovated for the last time, and now it is not only a place for Wu Tian to deal with affairs. It is also a new house for Wu Tian.

It is said that the building is simpler, and this is a mansion with a single courtyard covering an area of several thousand square meters. The servants in the mansion are all old servants of the Wu family, and the defense work is naturally taken care of by the secret guards. It's just that these naturally won't let Su Xiaojie see it, in Su Xiaojie's opinion. It's just the average mansion.

"Everyone says that many people now have a daughter-in-law but no mother. I think I have a daughter-in-law and no son. Entering the mansion, the two sat on the sofa in the hall and chatted, while Wu Tian began to complain that the baby in his mother's eyes had now been "reduced" to a foil.

"Aunt Lan doesn't hurt me for your sake, giggles, this is also jealous. "Su Xiaojie is very happy tonight, her performance tonight is of course not very good according to her mother-in-law's evaluation of her daughter-in-law, but if her mother-in-law adds a future before, she can still give a nine-point system.

"In the future, you will be the mistress of this house," Wu Tian's expression suddenly became serious, Su Xiaojie's heart tightened, but she quickly adjusted her mood and listened to Wu Tian's words, "Although I haven't told you anything about me clearly, I guess you know a lot about my background, especially your grandfather will definitely tell you." ”

"The young master of the Wu Gate, the future master of the Wu Gate, is it these?" Su Xiaojie lay in Wu Tian's arms, looking up at Wu Tian gently.

"That's right, as the future lady of the door master, there are some things you also need to know. Wu Tian straightened Su Xiaojie's body and let Su Xiaojie sit up straight before clapping his hands.

"Master, are you looking for me?" As soon as the applause rang out, a woman suddenly appeared in the hall, kneeling on the side of the table in front of Wu Tian.

"This is Wumen Secret Guard No. 6, responsible for the security and defense of the owner's family, except for the owner's family, no one knows about it. Hehe, when my grandfather handed over the Dark Guard series to me, I thought there were only No. 7, 8, 9, and 10, but it turned out that there was also a series of No. 6, and I only learned about it recently. Seeing the woman suddenly appear, Su Xiaojie was taken aback, but she was a member of the sect, so she didn't act too surprised, and her demeanor quickly recovered.

"The subordinates are responsible for internal defense, and they have always been in charge of the wife of the door master, not that the old door master deliberately delayed the handover. The woman, like the other four collars, looks average, and on the surface seems to be a very ordinary woman, "Now that the master has the will to start a family, the old master naturally wants to inform the master of our situation." ”

It turned out that the No. 6 series was equivalent to the internal affairs guard, although it also listened to the orders of the door owner, but it was the exclusive force of the door owner's wife, so when Wu Tian and Su Xiaojie's relationship stabilized, Wu Zhenyong planned to tell Wu Tian about the No. 6 series, but before telling it, the No. 6 had to deal with the relevant things, until Wu Tian had already brought Su Xiaojie home, Wu Zhenyong told Wu Tian about the No. 6 thing completely.

"In short, I only have the right to know about their department, and you will not be qualified to know the specific things until later. Wu Tian nodded and then said to Su Xiaojie, "So, it's too late for you to regret it during the meal, but now it's not okay to regret it, even if I bring someone to Su's house to rob you, I will snatch you back, you are determined to marry me." ”

"Hehe, it's so domineering, you haven't even proposed to me, this doesn't count. Su Xiaojie hugged Wu Tian's arm and shook it, and at this time, the woman disappeared in front of the two of them again, Su Xiaojie didn't need to be shy.

"Marry me!" Wu Tian hugged Su Xiaojie, took out a green jade bracelet from his arms, and placed it in front of Su Xiaojie.

"What a beautiful bracelet!" A woman is always a woman, and she will be tempted to see beautiful jewelry, but, "Who can propose a bracelet." ”

"This is no ordinary bracelet. It is the symbol of the hostess, with which you can take charge of the 6th series of dark guards. ”

Su Xiaojie listened. Looking at the jade bracelet in surprise, his left hand did not avoid. Let Wu Tian put the bracelet on her left hand. In modern society, it has become common sense for the world to save marriage with rings, however, in Chinese tradition, bracelets are the mainstream, but with the invasion of Western countries in modern history, Western culture has gradually been brought into China, and later after the founding of New China after reform and opening up. Chinese people began to accept foreign cultures, although it is said that they take their essence and discard their dross, but what is the "essence" and what is the "dross", everyone has their own ruler in their hearts. Moreover, culture is a thing, how can it really be clearly distinguished from good and bad, there are obvious boundaries, and what is good for other countries may not be good in China. Some things are not good or bad for China, but they can clash with their own culture. Just like the Mid-Autumn Festival, young people nowadays, if it weren't for that day being a legal holiday. You don't have to work, and if it weren't for the nagging of your family, you probably wouldn't have thought about going home for the holidays. On the contrary, the "Spring Festival" for foreigners. That is, Christmas, not a holiday at all, but I have long remembered it. Plan how you're going to make time out of it.

In short, Su Xiaojie accepted Wu Tian's gift, she had already made a wish not to marry from the day she lived with Wu Tian, the marriage proposal was only about sincerity, and Wu Tian had enough sincerity, this bracelet is a token of the mistress of Tianmen, even if there are countless women in Wu Tian in the future, but there is only one bracelet and only one hostess.

The first day of the new year is the time to visit relatives and friends, and in some places, visiting neighbors and friends on this day, and visiting relatives on the second day of the new year, starting with the father-in-law's house. However, Wujia Village is different, the neighbors are clansmen, on the first day of the new year, to go to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, of course, the host is the patriarch with the elders of all ethnic groups.

However, this year is different, Wu Zhenyong in addition to bringing the elders of various clans, Wu Tian also follows, after all, in the new year, Wu Tian is about to take over the Wu Gate, and the patriarch will also follow suit, this time it is only necessary to let Wu Tian get acquainted with it.

In the ancestral hall, women are exempted, and only men can enter here, except for one person, that is, the mistress of Wumen. It's a pity that so far, the hostess of Wumen is still vacant, and Wu Tian is not married yet, so although Su Xiaojie has a bracelet, it is not counted, and she can only watch it from the closest building outside the ancestral hall.

Outside the ancestral hall, the closest building is also 200 meters away, but for such a grand event, the nearby buildings are still full of people, especially the rooftops. However, on the first floor closest to the ancestral hall, there were only seven people on the roof. Wu Jianna and his daughter, Li Lan and Wu Yongming's wife Wang Lihong, and Su Xiaojie and No. 6, from the moment Su Xiaojie put on the bracelet, No. 6 was already Su Xiaojie's person.

"Xiao Jie, in the future, you can enter the ancestral hall with Xiaotian, even if you are familiar with it now, but you still have to watch it outside the ancestral hall before you get married. Wu Jianna and the others have never seen No. 6, but Li Lan has seen it, Wu Tian's grandmother was still there at that time, so when she saw No. 6, she didn't have the restraint of other people, and she still talked to Su Xiaojie as usual.

"The master of the door is the host of the worship, but the master you have a lot of things, and the subordinates will tell the master one by one, don't worry about how cumbersome things are. No. 6 on the side saw that Su Xiaojie frowned slightly after listening to Li Lan's words, and guessed what Su Xiaojie was worried about, nothing more than worrying that she would not be able to do it after she took office.

"We can just watch it ourselves, you don't have to be here. Su Xiaojie saw that Li Lan seemed to have something to say but didn't dare to say it, her eyes kept looking at No. 6 who was standing behind her, and immediately understood that it was because of No. 6's special identity.

"Yes, master!" No. 6 didn't see Li Lan's eyes, but from the corner of Li Lan's eyes that moved slightly, No. 6 still guessed why Su Xiaojie demanded so much, and No. 6 obediently accepted Su Xiaojie's order, although in Su Xiaojie's consciousness, he still thought that he was saying a request and not an order.

"Mom, who is she?" Li Lan has seen No. 6, but Wu Jianna has not, but she also guessed what she has been accompanying her daughter without speaking, looking a little restrained, and now that No. 6 is leaving, she immediately asked Li Lan, but obviously, No. 6's left sentence master, right sentence master, has made Wu Jianna a little frightened.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask," Li Lan stroked her daughter's hair, and seeing that Wu Jianna was still eager to know, she continued, "To put it simply, she will be Xiaojie's servant in the future." ”

"Because of Xiaotian?" Wu Jianna had already guessed, but she wanted to know it clearly, but Li Lan obviously didn't want to tell her.

"Well, of course. Li Lan said with certainty, "Xiaojie will be Xiaotian's person in the future, it must be because of him, let's watch the festival." Xiao Jie, you see, there are rules for every step, but don't be afraid of the cumbersome, you can let your servants do it for you, all you need to do is give orders. ”

Li Lan didn't have a chance to become the mistress of Wumen, but the specifics may not be clear, but this kind of thing is the case, many things will be remembered by subordinates for you, just like the president of the company, this is what the secretary does.

"I, I don't know if I can do it well. Su Xiaojie was just thinking about how to be Wu Tian's woman and become the mistress of Wu Gate, but she didn't think about it, it turned out that what the book said was that if you have power, you will have corresponding obligations, and it is also applicable here, and to become this hostess, you have to do corresponding things.

"Xiaojie," Li Lan took a step closer to Su Xiaojie and lowered her voice and said, "Seriously, I can only suggest how to do it, because, because I have no experience, only the lady of the door is qualified to speak in your position, but I am not." However, you only need to remember one thing, you are the mistress of Wumen, unless Xiaotian wants to do something to you, otherwise, you have the final say in Wumen's housekeeping, even if you do something wrong, except for Xiaotian, no one dares to do anything to you. ”

Li Lan's suggestion is almost a scoundrel, but Su Xiaojie's position in the future can do so, because in the future, she will indeed be above ten thousand people under one person, and she can do whatever she wants, unless Wu Tian wants to treat her, even if others have opinions, they will poke Wu Tian, as long as Wu Tian supports her, all mistakes will not be mistakes.

"In this way, will it be ......" Su Xiaojie couldn't accept such a cultural education for a while.

"Barbarism?" Li Lan blinked, "If the master of the door is the emperor, then you will be the queen, you watch TV, which queen is not barbaric? You've put on all the bracelets, do you still want to give up this position to others? Funny, I can see that Xiaotian really likes you, and no one can compete with you for this position. ”

"Hehe," Su Xiaojie smiled with Li Lan, but at this time, the shadow of another woman appeared in her mind, and she took a deep breath, "That's right, I won't let this position go." Laughing, thank you Aunt Lan!"

Li Lan smiled, didn't notice a trace of worry flashing in Su Xiaojie's eyes, turned her head back to look at the ancestral hall below in front of her, where the ceremony had already begun, Wu Zhenyong took the elders of all clans and Wu Tian and began to speak, and while the clan elders were carrying out the ceremony, he took Wu Tian into the inner hall of the ancestral hall. (To be continued.) )

ps: A few days ago, I suddenly found that someone was sprayed in the comment area, and I originally thought that if someone sprayed me how ugly I wrote, I would endure it, and the gods would be sprayed, not to mention me! I usually watch international news, and I often see this kind of troll when I am in the international military, but I didn't expect it to appear in such a place. This kind of troll seems to regard himself as the Red Guards of the Cultural Revolution, shouting slogans at every turn, and giving people a crime at every turn, as if how many people are sprayed every day represents how high his "loyalty to the country" is, alas, naΓ―ve, quite naΓ―ve!
