After discussing some wedding matters with Wang Daoyi,

"I'll go to the Hall of Death to find Mr. Zhongli and ask, you two don't have to wait for me on the night shift."

Master Mao seemed to be interested, and after giving an order to Wang Dao, he went out again in a hurry.

Shaking his head slightly, although he originally wanted to go to Zhongli to help with the marriage, but Master Mao wanted to go, then Master Mao would go.

However, listening to Master Mao's tone, it is estimated that he is going to invite Zhongli to dinner.

"Rounding up, it's equivalent to me inviting Zhongli to dinner."

Smiling slightly, Wang Daoyi withdrew his gaze on Master Mao's back and turned into the kitchen.

Xiangling's little face is like a slight red, and the movements on her hands have lost a little bit of their previous sharpness and precision.

Apparently, the girl heard the conversation between the lover and the father outside.

Without saying anything 'teasing' Xiangling, Wang Daoyi walked up to her and gently hugged the girl, then let go of his hand and helped deal with things.

The girl showed love in her eyes, but she didn't express it, and she did her job silently.

It's all in plain sight.

On the other side,

Master Mao hurried to the Hall of the Dead,

Seeing Master Mao's anxious and joyful look, Zhenjun couldn't help but be a little dazed.

The people who came to the Shosho Hall with an anxious look were not enough to be seen by Zhenjun, after all, the guests who came to the Shosho Hall were more or less surrounded by something bad, and it was normal to be anxious.

But it's rare for Master Mao to be anxious and joyful.

"Master Mao, I don't know what I have to do in the Afterlife Hall?" After all, he is the great treasurer of Wanmin Hall, and there are very few people in Liyue who don't know Master Mao.

Master Mao smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's not a big deal, haha, I'm looking for Mr. Zhongli, is he there?" ”

"Is Zhongli Keqing? He came back at noon to-day, resting in his little courtyard, and I will take you there. Although Zhenjun didn't know what the situation was when Master Mao said that it was okay and was looking for someone, she still received Master Mao with a smile out of the importance she attached to the unit of Wanmintang.

Stretching out his hand, he led Master Mao into the Hall of Death from the side door, went straight to the door of the small courtyard, stretched out his hand and knocked gently.

"Zhongli Keqing, Master Mao of Wanmin Hall is visiting."

"Please come in." Zhongli's voice came from the small courtyard.

Zhenjun nodded, and looked at Master Mao: "Master Mao, I want to receive other people, so I won't accompany you in, you can do it yourself." ”

Master Mao nodded, pushed the door and walked in, and only turned around and left after seeing him enter the door.

Entering the small courtyard, Master Mao soon saw a handsome young man sitting at the stone table, fiddling with the tea set.

"Mr. Zhongli, I took the liberty to visit and disturbed me."

"Master Mao's visit, it really makes my small courtyard shine, please sit down, I made good tea, just taste it together." Zhongli said politely, then smiled and pointed to the stone bench beside him, motioning for Master Mao to sit down and talk.

Master Mao was not polite, sat down straight, then nodded to Zhongli, pinched a teacup, and took a sip: "Well, the entrance is slightly bitter, the aftertaste is sweet, and there is a hint of the first sunny feeling after the rain. ”

As a chef, a chef who has gone very far in the kitchen, it is also very reasonable for Chef Mao to understand tea.

Zhongli smiled: "Good tea with distinguished guests, this tea can be drunk by Master Mao, and it is also worth it." ”

After a pause, Zhongli continued to speak: "I don't know where Master Mao's behavior came from? ”

"Hey, hey, hey, the child in the family is older, it's not, hey, hey, hey" Master Mao got down to business, opened his mouth and laughed, "Ahem, that kid, I talked about my marriage with Xiangling today." ”

"I asked the kid if there were any elders in Liyue Harbor here, and the kid said that there were no more, only Ruoxin's senior in Qingce Zhuang was still an elder, but Ruoxin's senior was old, so he recommended you to me, Zhongli Keqing."

"Daoyi said that when he first arrived, he was taken care of by you, so no one in Liyue Harbor is more qualified to handle his marriage than you, so I came here today to discuss with you if you can handle the marriage of these two children."

After Master Mao finished speaking, he looked at Zhongli with burning eyes,

Zhongli put down the teacup in his hand: "I see, speaking of which, I am indeed the elder of that child, he wants to marry someone, so naturally I will not let it go." ”

Zhongli, who has long known the relationship between Wang Daoyi and Xiangling's lovers, has no surprises about Wang Daoyi and Xiangling's marriage.

With a hint of joy on his face, although Wang Daoyi is no longer his dependent, it is still no problem to say that he is his descendant.

When the younger generation gets married, he, as the elder, is naturally happy.

Not to mention, the other object of marriage, Xiangling, is a disciple of Grandma Ping, and in a sense, he is also Zhongli's 'direct' descendant.

Kiss on kiss belongs to yes.

Hearing Zhongli's answer, Master Mao's face turned even more joyful, and he couldn't stop smiling, "Hahahaha, that's good, that's good, Mr. Zhongli is familiar with the etiquette of Liyue in the past dynasties, and I am so relieved that Mr. Zhongli is in charge." ”

"Well, according to the etiquette law, there should be six rites, but the current situation changes, and the ancient law may not be applicable, so I will study it carefully and strive to make this wedding perfect."

Zhongli also had joy in his eyes, obviously interested in this job.

Master Mao nodded again and again: "Okay, with you, I will rest assured, in this way, I will invite Mr. to have a meal in the evening and discuss the process together, how about it?" ”

"I don't dare to ask for ears if I want to." Zhongli nodded.

Although Chef Mao is a chef himself, it is better to go to someone else's restaurant to discuss such a thing as marriage.

So the two of them talked and laughed and walked out of the Afterlife Hall and walked to one of the most luxurious hotels in Scarlet Cloud Slope.

I don't know what the two discussed, anyway, when Master Mao returned to Wanmin Hall at night, there was a smell of wine that could not be dispersed, probably, what was discussed was a good thing.

Time passed, seven days passed in a flash, and the Lantern Festival arrived as scheduled.

Once again, Liyue Harbor is lit up with lights, and the crowds are surging, and the breath of the world is mighty, reaching into the sky.

From Wang Daoyi's point of view, there was also a clear breath rising in this vast human breath, and all the filth and demonic breath dissipated under the impact of these two breaths.

Within hundreds of miles above Liyue Harbor, there was a clear sky.

"Is this a kind of existence of human power?" Sighing slightly, Wang Daoyi withdrew his gaze from looking at the sky, "The Qing Qi just now is probably the immortal aura that belongs to Xiao and the kind of Guardian Liyue. ”

Compared to last year, Wang Daoyi's vision and pattern have undoubtedly improved a lot this year, and last year's Lantern Festival, he also saw the billowing red dust of Liyue Harbor, and this year, he has seen more things.

"The smell of mortals and the pure breath of immortals can be combined to flush away the filth and demonic energy, so the Lantern Festival is not only a festival to welcome the return of heroes, but also a huge ritual that uses the breath of all Liyue people combined with the breath of immortals to wash away the filth of the whole year."

Shaking his head, his heart became more and more interested in what was hidden in history, but it was not revealed,

Turning his gaze to the two girls, one big and one small, to the side.

The two girls stared at each other, and the younger one of them showed an innocent smile and said, "Qiqi went out with Dr. Bai for a visit, and I had no place to play, so I came to find my senior sister." ”

"There is no place to play, so come to me. Why don't you go to the master master to practice your gun? Xiangling was angry, obviously it was the time of the two-person world between herself and Wang Daoyi, but she was interrupted by the sudden arrival of little Lori.

"Master said that she wants to help Mr. Zhongli of the Dead Life Hall handle the affairs of Senior Sister Xiangling and Brother Daoyi, so I don't need to go to her to practice guns these days."

Yaoyao looked innocent, but there was a hint of ridicule in her eyes, looking at Xiangling's angry appearance, the little guy had a 'ignorant' smile on his face.

What bad intentions can little Lori have?

Little Lori is all bad-hearted!

Seeing Xiangling being eaten to death by Yaoyao, Wang Daoyi couldn't help but shake his head slightly,

Although Xiangling is the senior sister, compared to verbal efforts such as reasoning, Xiangling is indeed not Yaoyao's opponent.

"Okay, okay, since Yaoyao is here, let's go out and hang out together, just go to Xingqiu and them to plan a fireworks competition at night."

Wang Daoyi smiled and interrupted the big eyes between the senior sisters.

"Fireworks contest?" A hint of curiosity flashed in Yaoyao's eyes, "Is there a game tonight?" Was it prepared by Seven Stars? ”

Wang Daoyi walked to the little guy's side, bent down and picked up the little Lori: "No, it's the competition that your brother Xingqiu and I held together, and whose fireworks are better looking." ”

"Don't hug, don't hug. Put me down. The little guy struggled in Wang Daoyi's arms.

Yaoyao is not the same as Nahida and Klee,

When Nahida and Klee were picked up by Wang Daoyi, they would consciously put their arms around Wang Daoyi's neck, feeling like a brother holding his sister.

And Yaoyao, a little guy, doesn't like to be picked up, her mentality is more mature, and being picked up makes her feel that she is being underestimated.

Ignoring Yaoyao's struggle, Wang Daoyi gave Xiangling a look, and then said, "Let's go, go out for a walk." ”

Xiangling looked at the little Lori struggling, a smile appeared in her eyes, and nodded: "Well, then let's go out." ”

Then he turned his head to look at the pot that was trying to hide himself: "Guoba, you take Yaoyao's laurel, do you know?" ”

Guoba: Scolding and scolding.

Wang Daoyi held the struggling little Lori in one hand and Xiangling in the other, and behind Xiangling was the pot that was scolding but holding Yuegui.

It looks like a strange combination, but it didn't cause any waves in the sea lantern festival.

Like last year, there are too many people dressed in strange costumes on the streets of the Lantern Festival.

And after Yaoyao entered the street, she stopped struggling, and hugged Wang Daoyi's neck as if she was resigned.

As I said before, Yaoyao is very sensible and mature, she knows that if she continues to struggle, it will inevitably attract the investigation of the Millelith Army, in order not to cause trouble to her senior sister and the bad brother who is holding her, she can only accept her fate.

After walking around Xiao City, after a while, large and small snacks appeared in everyone's hands.

"Huh, walnut, walnut."

Xiangling fed the pot snacks, turned her head and found an acquaintance, so she shouted and waved her hand.

On the other side of Xiao City, Hu Tao is recommending a package of the Death Hall with tourists who come and go.

On the side of Hu Tao, the two Millelith looked at Hu Tao, and the corners of their eyes twitched slightly.

This Hu Tang master, it seems that he has learned to be obedient, set up a stall, sell packages, people are interested, she will say more, people are not interested, she will give a small gift with a flyer.

In this way, no one complained about her, and Millelith could only look at Hu Tao and couldn't stop her from continuing to sell the package.

"Hey, you take a small gift, this leaflet, it has runes to ward off evil spirits, you can take a look at it when you have time, you can also exorcise evil spirits and pray for blessings if you don't have time to put it at home." Shoved a small gift and a leaflet from the Hall of Death into the hands of passers-by, and the hall master seemed to hear someone calling him.

Turning his head, hey, it's Xiangling and Wang Daoyi.

Hu Tao waved his hand in the direction of Xiangling: "Xiangling, Brother Dao, oh, Yaoyao is also here, how about it, do you want to have a package for the Afterlife?" ”

A few people walked to Hu Tao's stall, Wang Dao looked at the two Millelith soldiers not far away, and nodded slightly at them,

"Who gave you the idea of this, and how did it get promoted in Xiao City?" Wang Daoyi asked with a smile.

"It's Xingqiu, he has an idea, not only prepared a booth for me, but also prepared a flyer for me, what a good brother." Hu Tao looked happy, she had never sold so smoothly.

At the end of the day, no one spoke ill of her, even those who didn't want to listen to her, they all received small gifts and flyers, and it can be said that this was the happiest time of the year for her to sell.

"Xingqiu? Ha, he gave you an idea, what conditions did he prescribe? ”

Wang Daoyi raised his eyebrows, he didn't believe that Xingqiu would help Hu Tao in vain.

"Huh? Condition? It seems that there is some condition, and I have forgotten. Hu Tao was stunned for a moment, then touched his head, and the Qiankun Tai hexagram hat on his head was slightly tilted, revealing one side of the girl's hair.

Frowning and thinking about it, Hu Tao said unconfirmed: "He seems to say, what kind of fireworks competition is coming?" ”

"Fireworks contest? Is it an evening game? Brother Daoyi and Brother Xingqiu are going to hold a fireworks contest tonight. Yaoyao poked her little head out of Wang Daoyi's arms, looked at Hu Tao and said.

Hu Tao waved his hand nonchalantly: "Maybe, I'll ask Xingqiu later, are you still okay?" ”

Then he looked at Wang Daoyi and Xiangling: "I heard Zhongli say, you two are going to do something big?" ”

Hu Tao's words were full of curiosity, she looked at Wang Daoyi and Xiangling, and her fluttering peach blossom eyes were full of curiosity.

For Hu Tao, birth, old age, sickness and death are very normal things.

But the little friend who was playing with himself suddenly said that he was going to get married,

It still gave her quite a shock.

Hearing Hu Tao's inquiry, Xiangling's little face flushed slightly, but she still nodded at Hu Tao: "Well, Brother Dao has already told Dad, and Dad, who is planning the process with Mr. Zhongli these days." ”

"Oh~ Congratulations, it looks like I have to prepare a gift for you." A congratulatory look appeared on Hu Tao's face, and then he talked about the matter of the ceremony, I don't know what I thought, and a trace of elf weirdness appeared in his eyes.

"Ha, Master Hu will come and drink a glass of wine when the time comes, and there will be no need to give gifts." Wang Dao smiled, and saw the strange look in the eyes of Hall Master Hu, I'm afraid, this girl didn't think of any normal gifts.

"Hey, what are you talking about, everyone is a friend, you are getting married for such a big thing, I will definitely give you a big gift."

"No, not really."

While the two were chatting, another acquaintance came over from the other side of Xiao City.

"Hey, Hu Tao, how about the idea I gave you?"

Hu Tao turned his head and saw that it was Xingqiu, and Chongyun, who was inseparable from him.

waved his hand, as if he was greeting: "Very good, by the way, Xingqiu, you said fireworks or something before, what is the matter, I have forgotten a little." ”

Xingqiu's face froze, and then he looked at Wang Daoyi: "Ahem, it's not a big deal, it's just that I invited you to watch the fireworks competition at night." ”

His heart is dripping blood, in fact, Xingqiu wants to invite Hu Tao to be a judge, with his and Hu Tao's similar aesthetics (the two are poetry friends), then Hu Tao must not give him a high score?

However, now that Wang Daoyi is present, Xingqiu naturally can't say anything about inviting Hu Tao to be a judge.

"Oh, the fireworks competition, rest assured, rest assured, not only will I go to watch, but I will also compete with you." Master Hu patted his chest and played a package ticket.

Xingqiu looked at Hu Tao: "Huh? The night of the game has begun, Hu Tao, you are ready for fireworks now, is it too late? ”

"Don't worry, rest assured, there's not much else in the Afterlife Hall, fireworks or something, it's a lot." Master Hu was full of confidence.

After Xingqiu finished communicating with Hall Master Hu, he turned to look at Wang Daoyi again: "Haha, Daoyi, are you ready to be defeated by me?" ”

"You see Inazuma light again?" Wang Daoyi's face was calm.

Xingqiu: "Uh"

"Don't worry so much, hum, I'm going to beat you this time." With a small face, Xingqiu said viciously.

"Okay, we'll see you in the evening." Since Xingqiu looked full of fighting spirit, Wang Daoyi naturally would not show weakness.

After the two of them said cruel words to each other, the atmosphere calmed down, and everyone chatted with each other.

Suddenly, Xiangling poked Wang Daoyi and gave him a look.

Wang Dao patted his head one by one, and almost forgot,

With a wipe of his right hand on his waist, several invitations with red background and gold edges appeared in Wang Daoyi's hands.

Stretched out his hand and handed the invitation to the friends: "On the third day of the new year, Xiangling and I will get married, and everyone will come over to drink a glass of wine." ”

On the third day of the new year, it was the engagement date set by Master Mao and Zhongli after discussion.

According to Zhongli's idea, on the day of engagement, there need to be witnessed by elders and people of high moral character.

The engaged parties can also invite some friends to witness together.
