Chapter Ninety-Three: Marriage Proposal
"Marriage letters?"
Several exclamations sounded at the same time, and everyone in the council hall looked at the letter in Daozhen's hand in dismay.
"What kind of marriage book? We Qingzhumen don't seem to have ever married people outside the mountain?" a person asked suspiciously.
"That's right, our Qingzhumen is already hidden, how can we make an in-law relationship with people outside? I have never heard that our Qingzhumen and Pingyang City Ling family have any in-law relationship. What's the deal with this marriage certificate?" asked the other.
"If it weren't for the last time the Ling family in Pingyang City sent a letter of distress to the mountain gate, we wouldn't have heard of the Ling family. I don't know what Uncle Xiao thinks, but he really agreed to make a move, and even sent his little brother out of the mountain to run for this matter for three months, and almost died! What the hell is this Ling family doing now? Isn't this marriage book also related to Uncle Xiao?"
The others were also puzzled.
The head of the sect really waved his hand to make everyone quiet, and then said: "Don't worry, everyone, listen to me slowly first! What I just said is not accurate, to be exact, this is not a marriage letter, but a marriage proposal from the Ling family!"
"What?
Everyone was stunned again, and then looked at Li Xuanji who was sitting in the corner, because he was the only one in the Qingzhu Gate who had contact with Jin Ning and the Ling family, and Jin Ning was obviously impossible, so the marriage proposal must be coming at him.
Li Xuanji's heart was furious when he was seen by everyone, and he suddenly felt bad!
Sure enough, Dao Zhen then said: "It seems that everyone has already guessed that the person asked for in this marriage proposal sent by the Ling family is the little junior brother! They want to marry Ling Cangyue, the young lady of the Ling family, to the little junior brother Li Xuanji as his wife!"
As soon as Dao Zhen's words fell, the hall suddenly exploded!
"Haha, junior brother, it turns out that this marriage proposal is really coming for you! I just said that who in our Qingzhumen can have an in-law relationship with the General's Mansion, it turns out that you went to the General's Mansion and got such a big gain, and you actually won the general's daughter in one fell swoop, and let the general take the initiative to marry his daughter to you. Little junior brother, you really have a lot of ability!" Feng Zijing was the first to tease.
"Little junior brother is really powerful! Let the top nobles in the imperial dynasty like the General's Mansion beg to marry their daughters, unless the other party is a relative of the emperor. Otherwise, I really have never heard of marrying a commoner in a hurry. The little junior brother didn't go to the general's mansion for a trip, and he climbed into this family business. From now on, the little junior brother will be the son-in-law of the General's Mansion, which is really gratifying!"
"Seriously, we all know very well how much ability the little junior brother has, whether it is cultivation or enlightenment, he is a top talent, and even the side doors such as formations, runes, elixirs, refining weapons, etc., have a lot of involvement, and they all have small successes. This is already an amazing ability, but what we didn't expect is that the little junior brother is even a good hand at the affairs of children! When he went to the general's mansion, he asked the daughter of the general to secretly agree, otherwise how could the dignified general take the initiative to ask for his daughter's marriage?"
"That's so right! Junior brother, although the senior brothers and sisters are better than you in cultivation, we are really ashamed of ourselves in this children's relationship! Why don't you teach the experience to the senior brothers and sisters? Explain to you how you made the general is a female concubine. Something interesting must have happened in the process of repairing her vein, so why don't you tell me about it?"
After Ge Chengan finished speaking, everyone looked at Li Xuanji expectantly, and even Situ Zuiqiu looked at it excitedly, with endless gossip hidden in his eyes.
Li Xuanji was ridiculed by everyone, but he didn't know how to refute it.
He even had a little weak-heartedness, what happened in the Huaqing Palace was indeed too charming and ambiguous, could it be that Ling Cangyue would really secretly promise because of these things, if he didn't marry?
Thinking of this, fine beads of sweat appeared on Li Xuanji's forehead.
Everyone in the council hall continued to ridicule Li Xuanji one after another, and then burst into laughter! This kind of joyful scene has not been seen for many years!
"Senior brother, is this really a marriage proposal in this letter? You're not joking with me, are you?"
Seeing that he still didn't believe it, Dao Zhen smiled and said, "Little junior brother, marriage is a big deal, I don't dare to joke about this kind of thing." The letter is here, come and see for yourself!"
After saying that, Daozhen handed him the letter in his hand.
Li Xuanji took out the contents of the letter, and sure enough, it was a red and glamorous marriage proposal. A few elders around who couldn't sit still came over one after another, wanting to get a glimpse of the contents, Li Xuanji hurriedly turned a few steps to avoid everyone's gaze, and only then opened the proposal and read it carefully.
The post was written in black and red on paper:
The head of Chengqing Bamboo Gate is personally enlightened:
The contemptible Ling Zhanye wants to ask Li Xuanji of your sect for marriage on behalf of the little girl Ling Cangyue!
Xuanji's virtuous nephew is extremely talented and moral, and his trip to Pingyang City has helped my Ling family and given him great favor. The little girl Ling Cangyue is in the double ninth year, and her youth is at her peak, and she is very fond of the character and talent of her nephew. As a father, he is not talented, and he is willing to seek family affairs for the little girl, and miss the whole little girl. The beauty of a gentleman's adulthood, I hope that the real person in charge will fulfill the good relationship between the two of them for a hundred years. Contemptible Ling Zhanye is here to thank you!
In addition, Cheng or not Chengdu Wangxuanji's virtuous nephew went to Pingyang Ling's house again to discuss the matter. Even if good things don't work, the friendship is still there!
So far
Ling Zhanye's own handwriting!
The content of the proposal post is not long, but it is only a hundred words. Li Xuanji read it quickly, and read it two more times. But when he put down the proposal, he frowned. He felt in his heart that the proposal was weird, but he couldn't find anything wrong with it. Even the handwriting is undoubtedly written by Ling Zhanye.
The head Daozhen looked at Li Xuanji, who was frowning and silent, and said with a smile: "Little junior brother, the marriage proposal has been read, do you have any opinions?"
Li Xuanji thought about it, but finally didn't come up with any results, and said helplessly: "This marriage proposal must be Ling Zhanye's handwritten handwriting, but this matter is a little strange." ”
"What's so strange about this? Isn't Ling Zhanye already clearly written in it? You are too outstanding in Pingyang City, and the daughter of the Ling family has also grown up, so it is natural for you to be angry and admire. As a father, he Ling Zhanye couldn't be proud of his daughter's request, so he personally sent a handwritten proposal to our Qingzhumen to ask for his daughter. Is there anything wrong here?" asked Michizane curiously.
"I see, what the senior brother in charge said is reasonable. In this way, this letter is genuine. If you go out, you can be the fast son-in-law of the dragon in the general's mansion of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it seems that the peach blossoms of the little junior brother have arrived!"
The other elders nodded in agreement after hearing Dao Zhen's explanation, and they all looked at Li Xuanji with a wicked smile.
Li Xuanji's brows still hadn't been unraveled, and he paused and whispered, "It still doesn't feel right." Based on what I know about Ling Zhanye and Ling Cangyue, this proposal should not exist. With the stubborn nature of these two people, I'm afraid they can't do such a thing......"
"Little junior brother, you are really worried. It's just a letter asking for relatives, can there be any conspiracy that can't be accomplished? And you're sure that this post is written by Ling Zhanye himself. It is said that the Ling family has a good reputation and runs the family with loyalty, you have a great favor to the Ling family, how can they calculate you?" a man next to him laughed.
"Could it be that the little junior brother is afraid of this family business? I have heard that some people have a disease, which is called marriage phobia. As long as the marriage event comes, he is always suspicious, fearful and uneasy, and always tries to escape. Little junior brother, you won't have this problem, right?...... haha" Feng Zijing laughed.
"......" Li Xuanji's forehead was full of black lines, and he couldn't wait to go up and seal his mouth.
"Okay, you don't have to make fun of the little junior brother. Dao Zhen waved his hand and said: "Although this marriage proposal is abrupt, it is a good thing no matter how you say it, as the old saying goes, 'I would rather demolish ten temples than destroy a marriage'." However, this marriage event can't be a child's play, this marriage proposal is for the little brother after all, and we senior brothers and sisters have no right to call the shots. Everything depends on the meaning of the little junior brother. The twisted melon is not sweet!"
After Dao Zhen finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Li Xuanji and said, "Little junior brother, this is a major matter of your marriage, and none of us have the right to decide this matter for you." It's all up to you. You have to figure it out before you decide how to do it. Now that this proposal has been delivered to the mountain gate, whether you agree or not, like it or not, you must always have an answer. The marriage proposal post also stated that no matter whether this family affair is successful or not, I hope you will go to Ling's house in Pingyang City again and discuss this matter in person, it seems that you have to go out of the mountain this time. ”
"Okay, then I'll discuss with Uncle Xiao, let you go out of the mountain again, let you go to Pingyang Ling's house again, and solve this matter satisfactorily by myself." Now that you have grown up and have your own thoughts and your own life, then this trip out of the mountain can be regarded as your early experience in entering the world. Practice well outside, don't be in a hurry, there is no time limit, you can come back whenever you want. During this experience, I hope you will go to the Jin family by the way to see how Jin Ning is doing. ”
The decision of the head of the sect really attracted everyone's sideways, and they looked at Li Xuanji with complicated eyes, envy, blessing, and worry.
Li Xuanji looked at Dao Zhen in surprise. Daozhen's decision was so sudden that he couldn't believe it.
Everyone in Qingzhumen has the opportunity to enter the WTO, but they all have to learn something. There is generally no time limit for entering the WTO, and it is okay to return to the teacher after a few decades, and it is okay to start a family and never come back again. It's like a dandelion that grows and flies with the wind to find its own world.
Since he was a child, he has been looking forward to learning and getting out of the mountain gate. Go to find your own family grudges, end years of heart disease, and get rid of the torment of nightmares.
Although his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds recently, he has never had any extravagant hopes. The previous trip to Pingyang City was already a special blessing to him, and he always thought that he would have to wait for many years, twenty years, thirty years, or even longer for the real experience. It's just that he didn't expect this day to come so quickly, and he was a little overwhelmed by the speed!
Li Xuanji tidied up his clothes, and bowed respectfully to Dao Zhen, "Thank you, senior brother!"
Daozhen nodded, did not speak, his eyes were full of encouragement and affirmation.
