"The Dongying group is really getting more and more arrogant in Dashang, it seems that there is going to be some action, forget it, as long as it doesn't affect Baishi Village, don't pay attention to it for the time being."

One last glance at the direction in which the two of Dongying's group left, Wang Qing returned to the old Wang family compound.

The old man of the Xia family was already drunk and slept sweetly, and it seemed that he had fallen asleep.

The old man of the god of wine and the big needle bee and the little bee sang about the wine, it seems that the little bee is not an opponent at all, and Wang Xiaoice and Xia Lingjun are playing games in the room.

Wang Qing shook his head slightly, disappeared into the night again, and began to cultivate himself.

……

Two days passed in a flash, and on May 10, Wang Qing's engagement ceremony began.

Wang Qing thought that this ceremony was just a show, and the parents of the two parties met and agreed, but found that both Wang Yaozu and Xia Jianguo were very serious.

In short, the engagement ceremony is tedious.

The first is to worship ancestors, and in the early morning of the same day, Wang Laohan took Wang Qing's brothers and sisters and Xia Lingyun to the Wang family cemetery in the mountain behind Baishi Village.

In fact, it is not so much a cemetery as a grave.

There are hundreds of large and small graves of the old Wang family here, and some of the graves in the distance have been leveled because of the passage of time, and there are some broken bluestones, which seem to be the tombstones of the ancestors of the Wang family, but unfortunately they have been damaged, and even Wang Laohan does not know which ancestor these tombs correspond to.

More recently, there are only the tombstones of Gaozu Wang Guangzong, great-grandfather and Wang Qing's father.

Although Gaozu Wang Guangzong has not always maintained the identity of a trainer, he is a capable ancestor after all, and it is also from Wang Guangzong that the family situation of the old Wang family has begun to improve, and all descendants have a tombstone.

There was also an empty space in front of Wang Qing's father's grave, which was the place that Wang Laohan left for himself.

Wang Laohan first bowed to the various graves, and then took out a quaint book and read out some strange songs, which sounded related to Baishi Village or the ruins of Kunshan.

After the song is recited, it is time for the regular sacrifice.

Worship ancestors, pray for blessings, and beg ancestors to bless them with a happy marriage.

After worshipping the cemetery of the Wang family, under the leadership of Xia Jianguo, Wang Qing and others also came to the grave of the Xia family.

Compared with the Wang family's cemetery where I don't know how many generations have been here, the Xia family's cemetery only has a few lonely graves and tombstones, and the Xia family is just an outsider in Baishi Village, and there are only a few generations of cemetery.

Xia Jianguo looked at the graveyard of his ancestors and sighed and said: "I originally thought that I could be buried here when I died, but unfortunately the second child in the family has already chosen a place for me, in fact, it is better here." ”

Xia Jianguo kowtowed a few times, and Wang Qing and Xia Lingyun also kowtowed a few times behind.

Wang Xiaoice secretly stuck out his tongue behind Wang Laohan, and then was knocked on the head by Wang Laohan.

And when Wang Qing and the others returned to Wang's house, Aunt Zhang, who had been waiting next door for a long time, had already appeared and set off a firecracker.

After that, many people from the village appeared.

As a witness, the village elder Zhang Tou announced the effectiveness of the engagement ceremony.

Wang Qing didn't know why the engagement ceremony was so complicated in a small village.

Wang Qing and Xia Lingyun also danced Pipi's dance, which was a somewhat embarrassing and shameful dance, and Wang Qing had seen similar murals in the depths of the Kunshan underground palace ruins.

Wang Qing didn't know what the meaning of this dance was, but it was said that after dancing, he would be happy, so Wang Qing would just dance it.

After that, Wang Qing exchanged engagement rings with Xia Lingyun.

Xia Lingyun blushed and took out the silver ring that she didn't know when she was prepared, which just matched Wang Qing's finger; Wang Laohan handed him the silver ring that his mother once wore, and then Wang Qing put the ring on Xia Lingyun's hand.

Then, in the blessings of everyone and Wang Xiaoice's puffing eyes, Xia Lingjun walked towards him, the two lips touched lightly, and then quickly separated.

Xia Lingyun blushed in shame, and then hugged one of his arms.

Zhang Laohan, the village head, brought an old-fashioned camera, and Wang Laohan said that he wanted to keep a souvenir.

In Wang Laohan's urging, Wang Qing released his giant pincer mantis and big wolf dog, and Xia Lingyun also released several of his elves.

Wang Qing, Xia Lingjun, two old men, plus Wang Xiaoice and several elves came to take a group photo.

Engagement ceremonies are filled with a variety of rituals.

Wang Qing felt that there was an invisible chain entwining him with Xia Lingyun.

Especially after Wang Qing got that photo, this feeling was already strong in Wang Qing's heart.

Because in the photo, Wang Qing not only saw the elves on his bright face, but also the two elves in the dark also appeared vaguely in the corners of the photo.

Geng Ghost Xiao Hei disguised himself as a shadow, and Butterfly Xiao Green disguised himself as sunlight shining into the house.

……

In short, the engagement ceremony of the old Wang family lasted for most of the day and finally ended, and the villagers outside the village gave enough face, half for Wang Laohan, and half for Xia Jianguo, who had the identity of a trainer.

Xia Jianguo left by car that afternoon, and Xia Lingyun lived directly in Wang Qing's house.

Wang Qing also learned during the engagement process that there was a similar custom of raising a child bride in Baishi Village, and after the engagement, the woman could live in the man's home to adapt to how to take care of her husband after marriage.

It's just that you can't get killed before you officially get married, otherwise the offspring born will definitely have a bad fate.

The guest room where Xia Lingyun lived was changed, and it became the room diagonally opposite Wang Qing, which was also the wedding room for the two of them in the future.

Late at night, after getting engaged, Wang Qing stayed in his room for a long time and thought about the future, instead of training immediately.

And while Wang Qing was thinking, a slight footstep sound, Xia Lingyun pushed open his door and walked in.

"Wang Qing, is there any significance to this ring?" Xia Lingyun stretched out his left hand and showed the ring on his ring finger in front of Wang Qing.

The silver ring has a simple pattern, and Wang Qing faintly remembers that his mother once brought this ring.

Wang Qing remembered that he had played with this ring when he was young, and he thought it was a silver ring at that time, but Wang Laohan told him that it was a platinum ring, which was very expensive, and he would pass it on to his daughter-in-law in the future, so he must not lose it.

Later, Xiao Wang Qing was worried that he would lose the treasures at home, so he handed the ring back to Mr. Wang for safekeeping.

Wang Qing grabbed Xia Lingyun's bare hand and carefully looked at the ring on his ring finger, the latter's cheeks turned red again, Wang Qing touched the pattern on the ring and said: "It should be platinum, don't sell it, don't lose it......"

With Wang Qing's words, Xia Lingyun once again looked at her fiancé with a resentful face, this kind of important engagement ring, as long as you are thinking normally, you will definitely pay attention to it......
