Chapter 101: Mutual Flattery, Taoist Marriage Certificate

The Su family's front hall.

Zhou Li, Zhou's second uncle, and Zhou's second aunt brought Zhou Xiangyu and came in person with betrothal gifts to propose marriage.

Not to mention how valuable the gifts are, just the fact that they came with so many gifts shows how much they value this marriage.

As for why we came a month later, it can only be said that my family had special work and only now did we have time for the three of us.

"Ever since she was little, Jiani has felt that she was destined to be with my family. Look, now it's fate." Aunt Zhou Er also works in the military.

Su Jiani and her friends often met each other when they went to the compound on weekdays.

Naturally, everyone is very familiar with it.

"Yes, it is my child who is marrying above his station. Comrade Su, please don't look down on my little brat." Zhou's second uncle responded very humbly.

"No, no, Xiang Yu is also very good." Li Guixiang really didn't expect that they would really come to propose marriage and take it so seriously.

Even Zhou Li came in person.

"He's much better than that brat in my family." Li Guixiang looked at Zhou Xiangyu who was sitting there quietly accompanying his elders, and she liked him more and more.

Although my daughter is young, it is very good for her to have such a good man.

At least she was satisfied.

As the old saying goes, the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she becomes.

"Look at what you said. Everyone in our circle knows that your three sons are outstanding talents, the best of the best you can hope for." Aunt Zhou knew the information about the third son of the Su family.

This couple is remarkable for raising so many handsome sons.

"How can they be as good as you say? They are older now, and their minds are more serious. They can't always be by my side like when I was a kid. Sigh."

Li Guixiang really misses her eldest son and second son.

"It's good to be older. They will have great prospects when they grow up. As parents, we hope that they can grow up to be safe and happy and serve the motherland."

The two women praised each other's children with sincerity in their eyes.

If it weren't for the big smiles on their faces, I would have thought they were complimenting me.

It can be seen that being well-matched is really important.

Men's conversations are much simpler. They talk about work and career.

In addition, since they all have special identities, there is more to talk about.

When Taoist Master Renkong came over, Su Jiani just came out from the backyard.

The two arrived at the 'battlefield' at the same time.

Seeing the two most important people arrive, everyone turned their attention to Su Jiani and Zhou Xiangyu.

Somehow, Su Jiani's face felt hot and red.

"Jiani, come here quickly and see who's here." Li Guixiang immediately called out to her daughter when she saw her.

Taoist Master Renkong also walked over and looked at the person who came. He nodded with satisfaction.

Zhou Li and his son stood up to greet him, "Master, you are here."

"Hello, Taoist priest."

Su Zhongguo gave up his position to the Taoist priest. There was no other way. In front of him, he was just a son and of the same generation as his son. He had no way to reason with him.

"Alright, we're all not strangers, no need to be polite, just sit down."

Since they came to propose marriage today, naturally the Zhou family would be more proactive.

Su Jiani was also assigned a task, which was to take Zhou Xiangyu around and visit the yard.

I know they are trying to get rid of me and saying things they don't want me to hear.

Even though there were guests present, she didn't get angry. She just responded and took Zhou Xiangyu to the central courtyard.

Except for the residential houses, the rest of the vacant space in the central courtyard was turned into gardens.

Very beautiful.

"Your family is so wealthy." Zhou Xiangyu was born into a powerful family, but this was the first time he had seen such luxury.

Su Jiani rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why, are you jealous?" She didn't know why, but she had a natural hostility towards him.

It's because she is young and has forgotten the past, otherwise she would definitely understand that this is the tsundere nature of young lovers.

Girls, I can understand that, after all, they are thin-skinned.

Zhou Xiangyu was a good-natured person, and he didn't get angry when she teased him. "A little bit, but it's not something I haven't seen before."

There are many people who want to curry favor with his family, and he has seen all kinds of luxury, but so what?

He was not jealous, nor did he think of owning it.

"Let's go, I'll take you around. I don't know what they said that we can't listen to." It can be seen that she is somewhat resentful in her heart.

Zhou Xiangyu just thought that her appearance was a little funny and cute.

"What else can I say? Let's talk about our marriage. But..." He became curious, "Why don't you object?"

Yes, he couldn't understand why she didn't object. With the Su family's love for her, as long as she disagreed, her family would not force her.

Su Jiani was speechless. Doesn’t this guy know what happened?

She objected.

Can you object?

The master said that she and he were destined to be together, and if it didn't work out, she would be destined to be lonely for the rest of her life.

Her family might agree to her marrying later, but they certainly wouldn't want her to live alone.

Even if her parents and brother love her very much, what about the future?

No one can say for sure.

"Why should I object?" she asked.

Zhou Xiangyu was stunned. He didn't expect her to ask this. Then he smiled and said, "I thought you would disagree. After all, we don't have much contact."

Yes, although they knew there was such a person, it was the first time they met him at school.

All in all, they had only met each other three times.

"Humph." Su Jiani was a little unhappy at this time, "Why, you still look down on me."

If he dared to agree, she would beat him to death.

Zhou Xiangyu wasn't that stupid. "No, no, I just thought we were too young. After all, it's a marriage, a major event in life."

Before he could finish his words, Su Jiani continued, "Yes, it's small, but are you sure you can live to grow up if you don't marry me?"

This person really knows nothing about himself.

When Zhou Xiangyu heard her mention this, he knew that the Taoist priest had told him this before, but in his understanding, it was just superstition used to comfort his grandfather and his second uncle and aunt.

He agreed to come this time because his grandfather and second uncle forced him to come.

If you ask him if he has any thoughts about Su Jiani as a child, then he really doesn't.

He agreed to the marriage only because he didn't want them to worry about his health all the time.

Also, he planned to explain to Su Jiani so that they could find a peaceful solution without affecting her reputation.

As long as she is willing, he is happy to cooperate.

But I didn't expect her to say such a thing.

"What do you know?"

"I know a lot. Let's go and let you be the one who knows."

She had never intended to hide this from him.

She borrowed the spiritual energy from his body, so naturally she didn't want him to be confused.

Whether it is family or friends, sincerity is the most essential existence.

Following her through many buildings and into a courtyard, he smelled a fragrance, the kind that could only be accumulated from burning incense frequently.

"Do you still worship gods in your family?" he asked half-jokingly.

Su Jiani ignored him and strode forward. Soon she came to a main house with the door open. As Zhou Xiangyu had expected, the house housed statues of the Three Pure Ones.

"Come and burn incense."

This person has a lot of spiritual energy but no way to use it. It's such a waste.

well.

Why doesn't she have this thing?

Seeing her serious expression, Zhou Xiangyu stopped making jokes.

Respectfully burn incense to the ancestor under the guidance of Su Jiani.

"Let's go."

After burning incense, Su Jiani walked to the back of the house.

Zhou Xiangyu followed, and soon the two of them arrived at an empty house.

There were many futons placed on the floor. The room was extremely clean and it was obvious that it was often used.

Su Jiani found a cushion and sat down, patting the cushion next to her.

"Please sit down too. I'll tell you about your physical condition."

After the two sat down, Su Jiani explained very patiently.

During this time, he also drank the spiritual milk water that he had diluted himself.

The tea in this room is made by diluting her spiritual milk.

It can be regarded as a treasure from heaven and earth.

Ordinary people are not lucky enough to drink it.

Zhou Xiangyu also drank it, but he didn't feel anything. After all, the spiritual energy his body produced every day was almost catching up with the spiritual energy in the spiritual milk.

"Do you understand now?"

Could Zhou Xiangyu not explain it clearly?

How did he become her furnace?

Yes, Su Jiani was telling him that he was her own furnace,

Only she can help him regulate the breath in his body.

Otherwise, he would die from the explosion of spiritual energy.

Regardless of whether he believes it or not, he just can't accept the word "furnace and cauldron".

"Is there really no other way?" Zhou Xiangyu asked without giving up.

Su Jiani's face was as dark as ink. "You said you didn't dislike me, so what? Am I not worthy of you?"

"No, no, no." Zhou Xiangyu saw that she misunderstood him and immediately shook his head to explain, "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to say that the word 'furnace tripod' makes me feel uncomfortable."

Su Jiani rolled her eyes at him and said, "Let's put it another way. We're a perfect match. How about that? Can you accept that?"

Ah, for the sake of the future, she endured it.

"Yes, I can accept it."

Woohoo, she is stronger than me, I can’t beat her or win by scolding her.

well.

In order to survive, he had to accept his fate.

"Okay, seeing how pitiful you look, don't worry, I will treat you well and won't let you suffer any grievances. When you marry into my family, my family will treat you as one of our own."

What a shocking statement.

Zhou Xiangyu really wanted to ask her how it happened that he married her.

"My family is here to propose marriage today." He raised his hand weakly.

Su Jiani glared at him and said, "I know, so what? You still have to marry into my family."

I don't want to argue with him about this anymore. With his current body, I'd better teach him how to practice cultivation first after the engagement is signed.

Su Jiani felt that he was not her boyfriend or fiancé, but more like an apprentice.

It's a bit tiring.

After a while, someone came and asked them to go to the front hall.

It’s not a big deal to call them over, just ask them to sign the marriage certificate.

Before they signed, Taoist Master Renkong gestured and loudly reported to the heaven and earth.

"A marriage certificate

Heaven

Xiaming Hell

When the Nine Heavens

Witnessed by the ancestors of the heavens

If you betray a beautiful woman

It is deceiving God

The crime of deceiving God

Death

The Beauty Betrays You

That is against God's will

Expelled from the Three Realms

There will never be a reincarnation."

"Do you two agree to this marriage certificate?"

Ren Kongdao asked the two people standing in front of him.

Everyone turned their eyes to Zhou Xiangyu, but Zhou Li did not step forward to stop them, because he was a man who valued his promises and certainly did not want his grandson to be the one who broke his promise.

Before Zhou Xiangyu could speak, Su Jiani, who always liked to teach others, spoke first.

"You have to think carefully. Our Taoist marriage certificate is not written casually. Every clause in it will come true. If you are not prepared, you can regret this marriage now."

She really meant well.

Zhou Xiangyu naturally understood the seriousness in her eyes.

Although they are children, they still understand the importance of the matter.

It really is true that there is no divorce in my family, only widowhood.

"I." Zhou Xiangyu was affected by the serious atmosphere. He looked at his grandfather and saw the old man nodded. He understood that his grandfather approved of the marriage certificate.

"I agree."

After saying that, he picked up a brush and wrote his name, Zhou Xiangyu, on the big red marriage certificate.

After finishing writing, he handed the pen to Su Jiani.

Su Zhongguo's face looked extremely ugly at this time.

If it weren't for his daughter, he would never agree to this marriage. His daughter didn't plan to get married so early.

Li Guixiang smiled very happily. After all, as a mother, which one doesn't want her daughter to have a happy marriage?

Su Jiani was very quick. She took the pen and wrote her own name next to Zhou Xiangyu's.

The writing is so neat and the characters are so elegant and lively.

It doesn't look like it was written by a child at all.

"The marriage certificate is signed, and heaven and earth bear witness."

As Taoist Master Renkong finished speaking, there was an explosion in the sky, which sounded like a celebration and a warning.

Anyway, those who heard it were extremely solemn.

Even Zhou Li, the person in charge, looked up at the sky respectfully.

"Haha, God approves, your engagement is done." Taoist Master Renkong was very happy at this time, and he was one step closer to enlightenment.

The Zhou family had no intention of hiding it. The two families were getting married and the contract was signed in one place to bring the two families together. Since the two children's engagement was already finalized, the Zhou family should also inform everyone.

"Master, could you please help these two children calculate an auspicious date so that they can hold an engagement banquet?"

Zhou Li's face was full of relief and joy. Now that his eldest grandson's premature death had been averted, his Zhou family would be able to take another path to success in the future. How could he not be happy?

Taoist Master Renkong has no objection.

He quickly started calculating with his fingers.

"The eighteenth of next month is an auspicious day, and they can announce their great happiness to everyone."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Li immediately became happy.

"Haha, okay, okay, okay, then let's set it for the 18th of next month."

After saying that, he pulled Su Zhongguo, who had a rather sour face, and started discussing the engagement party for the two children.

Su Jiani and Zhou Xiangyu were forgotten by everyone again.

But just as they were about to leave, Taoist Master Renkong stopped them.

"You two come back with me, I have something to discuss with you." Now that the marriage certificate is signed, it's time for Zhou Xiangyu to learn how to become a successful Taoist partner.

After greeting everyone, Taoist Master Renkong brought the people back to Courtyard No. 2.

Not only that, he asked the Zhou family to go back on their own after the discussion, and Zhou Xiangyu would have to live with him from now on.

Hearing this, Zhou Li responded without asking any questions.

Originally, he wanted to send some daily necessities, but was stopped by Su Zhongguo. The marriage was settled, and he, as a father-in-law, was not so stingy as not to provide daily necessities.

Su Zhongguo's generous behavior made the Zhou family feel relieved. After all, one's own children should be loved by the family, and they certainly hope that the Su family can love their own children more.

Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou thanked her repeatedly and said that they had arranged accommodation for Jiani at the Zhou family, so it would be convenient for her to go back and stay for a while when she was free in the future.

Su Zhongguo had no objection to this.

The more the two families discussed, the closer they became.

Because of the Zhou family's special status, even if they hold a grand engagement banquet, it will not be as grand as those of other wealthy families.

Just inform the people in your circle so that everyone knows that the two are engaged.
