Liu Tong sat on the Grand Master's chair in the main hall, waiting uneasily, fidgeting and feeling conflicted.
Yesterday, he was overwhelmed by his wife's "big" principles and agreed to the marriage in a daze. But this happened so suddenly that it was impossible for him not to feel conflicted.
I think that when Xiao Feng was alive and kicking, he was reluctant to get married. Now that Xiao Feng is gone, it is really cruel to him to agree to the marriage.
But at least this trick can solve an urgent need and make the whole family very friendly to him, so Liu Tong is not unacceptable to this matter.
This conflicting mentality made him decide that when the Xiao family came to propose marriage, he would definitely embarrass the other party. Although he couldn't stir up trouble, he could still vent his anger.
Yes, it's settled. Whether Zhang Tianci is the representative, or Shen Lian and Zhan Yu are roped in, even if Qi Jiguang comes back, he will never give face to them and must embarrass them!
The housekeeper rushed in: "Master, Xiao Mansion is here to propose marriage!"
Liu Tong snorted: "Opening the door must be done with courtesy, otherwise people will laugh at my Liu family!"
In fact, the main purpose of opening the door is to let more people know that Liu Xueer is marrying into the Xiao Mansion. Yan Shifan, you'd better be self-aware!
Xiao Feng is like Sun Wukong, asking Jiajing to draw a circle. Those who are in this circle are safe, and those who are outside the circle may be captured by the monster Yan Shifan.
After today, not only Liu Xueer stands in the center of the circle, but Liu Mansion is also included in the circle. As long as Jiajing's magic power is still there, it will be absolutely safe!
The housekeeper said in surprise: "Master, why don't you go out to greet me?"
Liu Tong was furious: "They are here to propose marriage! Master, as the head of the Liu Mansion, why do I need to go out to greet her? Are you so ignorant of etiquette?"
The housekeeper wanted to explain in more detail, but he heard a slightly immature voice with a hoarse voice unique to the voice-changing stage: "Master Liu is right! Today, the Xiao family is proposing marriage. The Liu family is the biggest, no one can break the etiquette!"
Then another voice who was also in the voice-changing stage said angrily: "Me too!"
"You're a piece of shit! Are you here to propose marriage or to fight?"
"Of course I'm here to propose marriage, otherwise I would have beaten you eight times along the way!"
Liu Tong jumped down from the chair without any pretense, and trotted forward to meet him.
"Your Highness Prince Yu, His Highness Prince Jing, why are you two here? This... this is so disrespectful!"
King Yu and King Jing were quarreling and crowded in the front row of the team. No one was willing to take a step back. Zhang Tianci, Shen Lian and Zhan Yu behind them looked helplessly at these two guys who were taking over the honor.
The cause of the incident was that Zhan Yu asked for leave from King Yu. King Yu heard that he was going to propose marriage to the Xiao family and immediately said that he wanted to go too.
Originally, the matter ended here. But King Yu is still young, and a dog cannot hide two ounces of sesame oil in his belly. When he was studying in Wenhua Hall, he finally couldn't help but show off to King Jing and said that he was a good young man who never forgot his teacher's kindness.
How could King Jing endure this? He immediately shouted: "Me too!" Then regardless of King Yu's obstruction, he forcibly included himself in the list of envoys to propose marriage.
Seeing Liu Tong bending down to salute, King Yu and King Jing were also startled, and stopped arguing. Each of them held an arm, and regardless of Liu Tong's struggle, they pressed Liu Tong onto the Taishi chair again.
"They say you are the eldest today. I am here to propose marriage on Master's behalf. The etiquette must not be broken!"
"me too!"
"You..." King Yu finally held back his swear words, turned around and waved, asking the three background characters behind to bring up the betrothal gift.
The gate of Liu Mansion was already crowded with people watching the excitement, and there was even a phenomenon of people getting better than others. Because no one has ever seen such a marriage proposal.
Two princes led the team, like a fifth-grade doctor proposing marriage. How beautiful must this girl be to be so popular?
The steward and Yourong Yan did not ask anyone to stop these people who had never seen the world. Instead, they tried to open the door wider so that these people could see more clearly.
Naturally, there was an understanding brother in the crowd. Seeing that everyone was puzzled, he volunteered to be the commentator.
"Of course Miss Liu is as beautiful as a fairy. I heard that the Yan family has proposed marriage to the Liu family!
And according to rumors, the Yan Mansion also said that anyone who dares to compete with the Yan Mansion will have trouble with the Yan Mansion! "
Everyone was amazed, and some asked: "Whose family is so brave and dares to face the power and threats of the Yan family?"
"Didn't you hear what the two princes said? They came to propose marriage on behalf of their master. Their master is Young Master Xiao!"
"But Young Master Xiao is already dead?"
"What's wrong with death? Can't marry a wife after death? Widow Li from Dongzhimen held a memorial tablet before worshiping her. Isn't she living a good life now?"
Amidst the noisy discussion, Liu Tong didn't know what he felt in his heart. The lineup of two kings proposing marriage made Liu Tong very excited, but thinking that her daughter would have to stay alone in the empty house in the end, Liu Tong felt sour in her heart.
In this complicated state of mind, Liu Tong drank too much. There was no need to drink so much when entertaining the marriage proposal group. King Yu and King Jing were both drunk people but not capable of drinking, but Liu Tong still drank too much.
In the middle of the night, Liu Tong woke up in his wife's arms and found that his face was full of tears and he was still sobbing and talking in his sleep before waking up.
"Xue'er, dad is afraid that you will suffer!"
Mrs. Liu didn't say anything, and hugged Liu Tong tightly with her broad mind, letting him cry like a baby for a while and then fell asleep again.
Because the old man checked the almanac, the next day was an auspicious day, so without further ado, the bright red sedan chair was carried to the door of Liu Mansion. Liu Xueer, wearing a hijab and wearing a wedding dress, held Xiaomei's hand and got on the sedan chair.
Liu Tong and his wife watched in front of the door, weeping as they watched their daughter's sedan chair go away... and entered the Xiao Mansion diagonally opposite, a hundred meters away.
The eight famous sedan bearers in the capital were all very blushing and embarrassed after receiving Zhang Tianci's generous reward. The distance was too short, and we didn’t even have time to lift up the sedan chair.
When I put down the sedan chair, I couldn't proudly wipe the sweat from my forehead because I hadn't even had time to sweat yet! So they didn't even need to change their clothes, they just sat down to eat.
A banquet was held in the Xiao Mansion, and Liu Shishen personally served the dishes, and everyone ate happily. However, many people quietly said that Liu Shishen didn't know if he added too much salt today. Why did the dishes feel a little salty?
Zhang Yunqing and Wang Yingxiang also looked lackluster, with forced smiles on their faces, as if they were expecting the other to step forward and shout.
"I object to this marriage!"
Naturally, I can only think about this in my heart. At this time, let alone the two little girls, even Yan Shifan would have to crawl out if he dared to stand here and shout.
Liu Tong and his wife were sitting on the high hall seats. On the other side of the high hall seats was Xiao Wannian's embroidered spring knife.
The wedding ceremony was hosted by an experienced Taoist, because the two princes were too young and Zhang Tianci did not have enough status.
Although the old Taoist may not be virtuous, after all, he is old and has the same advantage. Moreover, he is also the master of the second Taoist temple, so his identity is consistent.
Xiaomei held Xiao Feng's spirit tablet and cooperated with Liu Xueer to complete the ceremony. She entered the role faster than Liu Xueer. She had already entered the mentality of a dowry maid and was very busy.
"Bow down to heaven and earth!" Everyone sighed.
"Second thanks to Gaotang!" Liu Tong and his wife burst into tears, while Xiuchundao was very calm.
"Best wishes to husband and wife!" Liu Xueer didn't cry, but Xiaomei was already crying profusely.
"Send it to the bridal chamber!" No one made a fuss in the bridal chamber, because there was really nothing to make a fuss about. Everyone ate their meals peacefully.
Qiao Niang and Qiao Qiao regained some of their energy and were busy entertaining the guests, fearing that they would lose Xiao Feng's face if they did not entertain them well.
Chen Zhonghou smoked dully at the door of the kitchen, listening to his daughter's suppressed cries amidst the clatter of spoons and shovels in the kitchen.
Yan Niang did not enter the Xiao Mansion, but sat in the carriage, looking at the open door of the Xiao Mansion from afar.
Of course she got the invitation, but she felt that because of her special status, it was inappropriate to come to the house on such a happy day. Maybe it will feel like a certain KTV and a certain pedicure center sending out banners when a certain gentleman got married in later generations.
Shen Lian and An Qingyue did not sit down at the table either. One led a few royal guards and the other led a few police officers, patrolling near the Xiao Mansion to prevent someone from causing trouble in anger.
Yan Shifan was indeed furious in Yan's mansion, but he was not stupid enough to blatantly cause trouble. Sister Rouge was not at home. After smashing things for a while, he took a pill and started torturing the maid who was accompanying him.
Jiajing was in Jinshen Jingshe. After listening to Lu Bing's report, Jiajing did not open his eyes and just said something lightly.
"That's it, take care of it."
A man with tattered clothes, long hair like grass, and a face covered in blood, with his left hand hanging down weakly and holding a broken sword in his right hand, limped to the gate of Xiao Mansion.
He stared blankly at the lively banquet in Xiao's mansion and the red paper hanging all over the doors and windows, and then slowly came back to his senses.
"Xiao Feng got married, it's great, it's great."
Then he walked slowly toward the door. Someone inside the door also noticed this weird and scary uninvited guest, and several children who were worldly-minded were even frightened and cried.
Only Xiaodong jumped up and ran out the door crying.
"Master, master is back, master is back!"
An Qingyue, who was patrolling the streets, froze as if she had been struck by lightning. She turned around with difficulty and saw Xiaodong throwing herself into the man's arms.
Zhang Wuxin's body had reached its limit, and he was holding on with only a breath of his true energy. Xiaodong pounced on him, and he fell down immediately.
When he fell down, the thought in his mind was still: Xiao Feng is getting married, it's great, and I don't know if Yu Dayou is coming.
Some people died, but not completely...
