Chen Yi and Amber came out of the kitchen, Chen Yi was holding a few pancakes in his hand. After entering the house, Hu Bo brought the pancakes to Zhou Xiao and Zhu Mingyu. Zhu Mingyu didn't want to eat it, and Zhou Xiao couldn't eat it either.
Zhou Xiao looked at Hu Hu and said to Chen Yan, "Ah Ji, it's time to change the guard post. I'll replace them."
Chen Yan asked: "Didn't you just go on duty yesterday? Why did you go on duty again?"
"Oh...whoever has uncomfortable legs, I'll cover him for the night."
"Go ahead."
Zhou Xiao walked to the door and suddenly turned around and said, "Lan Yatou and Feicui are two eldest girls. It's not suitable for Xiaodao Chang to live in their room. I don't have any extra room in my house. Tonight, you go to live with Tan Xiaotian's house next door."
When Zhou Xiao left, Chen Yan looked puzzled: Although his man had become more taciturn, he was still very enthusiastic in dealing with others. Why did he just say something like an eviction order? What were the two grown men talking about in the room just now?
Amber moved the bench to get closer to Chen Yan. The two chatted about outside matters. During this period, Zhu Mingyu remained silent, feeling a little tormented inside.
Amber suddenly said shyly: "Aunt Zhou...can I...tell you something?"
Zhu Mingyu's heart was shocked. Amber was going to confess?
Chen Yi asked: "Of course, what can you tell me?"
Amber lowered her head, her eyes were slightly moist, and she asked softly: "Can I... call you mother?"
Chen Yan was stunned.
The three of them were raised by Chen Yi. Although they have not changed their words, they are the same as their biological daughters. Amber has this kind of heart, which makes Chen Yan's heart suddenly soften. Read the book
Chen Yan's tone was choked with sobs: "Silly girl, of course you can... When you were young, out of consideration for Girl Lan, I didn't let you change your words. I was afraid that she would be unbalanced. When you grow up, I think it might be difficult to change your words... It's rare. You brought it up yourself. Amber, from today on, I am your mother."
"Mom!" She shouted with laughter and tears, and threw herself into Chen Yan's arms again. Chen Yan's face was full of happiness and guilt. He would have told them to change their tune when they were young. Although this "mother" was only superficial, it still made Chen Yan feel that it was more than ten years too late.
Chen Yan wiped the tears from the corners of Jade's eyes and said, "It's getting late. Let's talk about anything tomorrow."
"Yeah! Mom, I'll sleep with you tonight!"
"OK."
Zhu Mingyu suddenly felt that she was superfluous...
Chen Yan took Zhu Mingyu outside the house and shouted to the yard next door: "Xiao Tian! Xiao Tian!"
Not long after, a middle-aged man leaned on the wall and asked, "Ah, what's going on?"
Chen Yan pointed at Zhu Mingyu and said, "This is Taoist Priest Zhang Chengqing's disciple. He came back with Hubo. Let him stay at your house tonight. Wushuang is not here."
"Sure, no problem. I just listened to what happened to him. Little Taoist Priest, come to my house."
Zhu Mingyu said: "Thank you very much."
As he walked out the door, Tan Xiaotian looked at Zhu Mingyu who was walking through the door, and said with a smile: "I just climbed over the wall and came here, what other door should I take."
…
Zhu Mingyu couldn't sleep at all, and her heart was even more tormented than when she was eating just now.
At Yinshi, he finally couldn't stand it any longer, so he simply got up and went to walk around Langu.
It's spring now, the wind is strong, and the wind can be heard all night in Chaolan Valley.
He walked aimlessly for who knows how long, and saw a large lake. This must be the Chaolan Lake that Amber mentioned.
The wind suddenly picked up and ruffled a pool of spring water. At this moment, Zhu Mingyu's heart was like the lake, fluctuating and uncomfortable, but not dead.
As I was looking at the lake in a daze, I heard someone behind me ask, "What are you doing here without sleeping?"
Turning around, he saw it was Zhou Xiao.
He hurriedly cupped his fists and raised his hands: "Senior Zhou... junior... accept the bed..."
Of course Zhou Xiao knew that he was not admitting his bed, he was just too worried.
Zhou Xiao sat down on a big rock and waved to Zhu Mingyu.
Zhu
Mingyu walked up to Zhou Xiao. Zhou Xiao smacked his lips and said, "What are you standing for? I'll let you sit down."
He quickly sat down on the stone next to Zhou Xiao. Zhou Xiao looked at the lake of spring water and said, "You are a great disciple of Taoist Zhang... I can trust Taoist Zhang. His disciples are not bad. Your family is still something... Chamber of Commerce……"
"Finance Chamber of Commerce."
"Oh yes, Caiyuan Chamber of Commerce. I guess no matter who you marry, they will not be punished when they come to your house."
"yes."
"Don't blame me when we were eating just now. It's not that I didn't look down on you. You are a good kid. I heard from your Aunt Zhou that she is a very capable kid."
"Master taught me well."
"I'm not reluctant to marry my daughter. Although Amber has never called me daddy, I do raise her as my own daughter."
Zhu Mingyuxin said: Congratulations, you now have an extra daughter.
Zhou Xiao continued: "I just... how can I put it, I feel that Amber is still young. When I got married, I was already in my early twenties. My parents didn't get married until they were in their thirties. In our family, they all get married late." Amber is only seventeen this year, and she suddenly said she wanted to get married. I couldn't accept it for a while. Don't blame me for being indifferent to you just now."
"How dare you."
Zhou Xiao's voice became melancholy: "When your Aunt Zhou came back a few years ago, she told me that that boy from the Bai family was interested in my daughter, and there was also a boy named Mu Yun who was interested in Lan Yatou, and Lan Yatou seemed to like him too. . But I didn’t say anything about you and Amber... I thought, if you marry two, just marry two. At least Amber can still be filial to me for a few years. Who knows, the three girls have been away for more than half a year, and when they come back, they will all belong to someone else. , not a single one was left for me.”
Zhu Mingyu said: "I have to get married... I have discussed it with Amber. It doesn't mean that we will get married right away. At least we can wait until everything is done."
"I'm so old, I understand the truth... Let me ask you, does your family have any collusion with the forces in the world?"
"My father has been in business for many years, and he is most afraid of having contacts with people in the world. Over the years, he has severed all previous relationships with people in the world."
"That's good, but your family has such a view on Jianghu people, but our family is Jianghu people. Do your parents agree?"
"agreed."
"Agreed?" Zhou Xiaolai got angry, "What do you mean you agreed? Did you bring Amber to your house?"
Zhu Mingyu quickly argued: "I, I originally said to come to Chaolan Valley first, but Li Fenglan meant to go to my house first. We were in Chang'an at the time, which was close to my house..." Anyway, Li Fenglan was not here, so he passed the blame to her.
Zhou Xiao frowned and said: "She is such a thoughtful person! How come she doesn't understand any of this! She hasn't even gotten married yet! She went to your house? How unbecoming! We Amber don't want a reputation. ?!」
But his anger subsided immediately, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I can see that Amber is also interested in you... The children are willing, so I can't say anything."
Zhu Mingyu's eyebrows were filled with joy: "So...you agree?"
After saying that, he stood up and bowed again.
Zhou Xiao stopped him and said, "Don't kneel down. What's the use of my promise? Your Aunt Zhou is the head of our family. I'll ask her for her opinion tomorrow."
"good!"
Zhou Xiao stood up holding his knees and said to Zhu Mingyu: "It's already this time. Don't go back to sleep. Follow me on patrol."
"Junior understands!"
Not to mention letting him go on patrol, now he is willing to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire.
…
Zhu Mingyu's kung fu is top-notch in the entire world. It's no wonder that following Amber Jade all the time makes him forget that he is a master.
Qingfeng Guan's Qingfeng Sword Technique emphasizes long-lasting breath, but it must be long, otherwise you will not be able to bear hunger. After patrolling with Zhou Xiao all night, he was still feeling refreshed. Zhou Xiao nodded secretly and said in his heart: This kid is okay.
Now the more I look at him, the more I like him. He is really handsome. Regardless of his education or family background, he is a good match. Cheng, Amber will definitely not suffer any trouble when she marries him in the future.
The sky turned white, and the people in Chaolan Valley began their day's work.
The two men who came, Weng and son-in-law, had already arrived at the door of their house.
After returning from Shilishan, Amber became much more diligent and loved to clean the house. When the two entered the door, they saw Hu Hue cleaning the yard. Zhou Xiao went over to grab the broom and said with a smile: "Hu Hu Hue, I just came back yesterday, don't work, don't be tired."
Amber had a sweet smile on her face and said, "Dad, you are back."
After saying this, Zhou Xiao felt a warm current from the soles of his feet all the way to Tian Ling Gai'er, and then he giggled happily, almost jumping up on the spot with joy.
He pulled Zhu Mingyu and asked, "Did you hear that? Did you hear that?" Then he turned to look at Hu Hue: "Daughter, what did you call me just now?"
Amber shouted sweetly again: "Dad!"
"Oh! Okay! Ah! Ah!"
Chen Yan walked out of the room with a smile: "I heard it. Last night I asked Amber to change her story, and she will be our daughter from now on."
Zhou Xiao was so happy that he was at a loss. He rubbed his hands and said, "What about that? Ah, boil a pot of wine and cook two delicious dishes... Xiaotian! Xiaotian!"
Tan Xiaotian leaned out of the wall and asked, "Brother Zhou, what's going on?"
"Come to my house for a drink."
"Oh?" Tan Xiaotian asked with a smile, "Drinking? It's rare for you to be rich. Forget it, there is still work in the fields. What kind of wine are you drinking this morning? Let's talk about it tonight."
"become!"
Chen Yan said: "Are you tired after a long night? Come in and have dinner."
The four of them happily went back to the house to eat.
After one night, Zhu Mingyu was no longer so nervous. After all, her future father-in-law had already agreed, so it was her future mother-in-law's fault.
While eating, Amber kept glancing at Zhu Mingyu, her eyes seeming to be inquiring. Zhu Mingyu gave him a firm look, saying that he could handle it.
After finishing the meal, Hu Bo and Chen Yan cleared the table. Zhou Xiao glanced sideways at Zhu Mingyu and asked, "Well...Mingyu, are you and Hu Bo going back to Langu for something?"
Zhu Mingyu nodded: "It's true."
"If you have something to say, tell me."
Chen Yan felt a little strange, as if his man knew something that he didn't know.
Zhu Mingyu felt much calmer, stood up, and bowed deeply to Chen Yan: "Aunt Zhou, this junior and Hu Hu came to Lan Valley to ask you something."
Chen Qian asked: "Begging me? What can you do?"
At this time, Amber stood up holding the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen.
Zhu Mingyu cleared her throat: "It's been more than half a year since I met Hu Hua. Hu Hua is innocent and lovely. Over the past six months, I have been deeply in love with Hu Hua. I came here this time to propose marriage..."
Chen Yan was stunned for a long time, and then he suddenly realized: "Oh, you changed your mind last night, why are you waiting for me here?"
That's what he said, but Chen Yan said it with a smile, not sullenly.
"I hope you..."
Chen Yan shouted toward the kitchen: "Amber!"
"Alas!" Amber responded and jumped into the house, "What's the matter? Mom."
"I'm asking you knowingly," Chen Yan said with a loving smile on his face, "I'm asking you, what do you think of this kid Mingyu?"
Amber said shyly: "I don't have any opinion...it's just...very good."
Chen Yan glanced at his man: "You two talked last night, right?"
"We've talked about it," Zhou Xiao replied honestly, "I also think Mingyu is a good kid. They are in love with each other, but you still have to make the decision on this matter."
Chen Yi nodded and said decisively: "Okay, I agree. However, the affairs in the valley are complicated now, so your marriage has to be postponed. I am a person who doesn't like to follow rules, but your family is different. It has a big business. There must be a lot of rules. It's up to your family to decide on birthdays and other matters. As for the bride price, please don't do it, we don't care about that."
When Zhu Mingyu heard this, he hurriedly lifted his robe and knelt down (he kowtowed very skillfully during this period): "Thank you for entrusting me with your beloved daughter. I will never leave Amber in this life!"
Zhou Xiao and his wife accepted this with peace of mind.
It's a big thing accomplished.
