Chapter 228: Exchange of Engagement Letters

Fifty strokes of the stick would surely have killed Aunt Zheng.

Xie Yanyan didn't feel anything. Don't look down on the woman in the backyard. She was just as capable as those on the battlefield. Her son wanted to kill Zhou Shaoyu and herself, so she was not that kind.

Zhou Xiaocheng said to Xie Anfeng in a sheepish tone: "I'm sorry to make General Xie laugh at me."

Xie Anfeng didn't care. He didn't take a concubine, but he didn't have any good feelings towards his concubine.

That wicked concubine of old Shen's was a ruin to three generations. He had no good feelings towards concubines, and he neither took a concubine himself nor allowed his son to take one.

The princess said, "Your Majesty, this is the first time General Xie has come to our house. Please have a good chat with General Xie while I prepare the banquet."

The death of Aunt Zheng did not affect the joy of the entire battle. This was the happiest thing in the palace in the past six months.

The Yan army was repelled, the King of Langya was destroyed, and all his fiefdoms were recovered.

For the princess, it was such a blessing that her lifelong enemy was dealt with openly today.

Moreover, it was her future daughter-in-law who provided her with irrefutable evidence to help her gain control of the other party.

It feels so good. It feels so good.

The palace held a big banquet, and the princess asked Zhou Tangtang to take Xie Yanyan to play. She said to Zhou Xiaocheng: "General Xie is at the palace, so we can arrange the marriage between Jingchen and the county lady. What do you think?"

Zhou Xiaocheng patted her hands and said happily, "It's great to be able to arrange this marriage for Jingchen. I heard that Jingchen likes her very much and she also has feelings for Jingchen. As elders, we have no reason to object."

Originally, he was worried that Xie Yanyan's former status as an exile would affect Zhou Shaoyu's reputation. However, in the past six months, Xie Yanyan's popularity and status among the soldiers in the fiefdom were comparable to that of a prince. What could he object to?

He also strongly agreed. Besides, he also wanted to be tied together with Xie Anfeng and Xie Ning.

After the discussion, he went to consult Xie Anfeng.

"Thank you, General. I liked Yan'er the first time I saw her. I'm asking you to marry her on behalf of Jingchen. Don't worry, I will definitely treat her as my daughter. No matter what she does, I will protect her and satisfy her. In addition, Yan'er is young, so I won't let them get married so early. I'll wait until she reaches the age of 15 before I propose and discuss the wedding."

The princess really liked Xie Yanyan and wished she could dig this kid into her basket immediately.

Xie Anfeng had long noticed that the two children were in love. He thought that he had been watching them for so long but had never thought about this, so he felt that he had failed in his duty. Fathers are always so rough in their ways.

Since both sides had no objections, the marriage between Xie Yanyan and Zhou Shizi was settled first.

After exchanging the engagement letters, the princess also explained the origin of the pair of bracelets, saying that they were heirlooms of the Zhou family, passed down for many generations.

"With Yan'er's intelligence, she must have guessed it. She didn't resist, which means she is satisfied with marrying Jingchen."

The happiest person was Zhou Shaoyu. When he heard that his father and mother had chosen Xie Yanyan for him, he was so happy that he lifted his mother up with one hand.

The princess was so embarrassed that she hit him and said, "You might as well go to Ju Yan'er, you idiot. Be more careful with women and don't follow your father's example of finding so many women and acting like a jerk every day."

Zhou Shaoyu swore seriously: "In my life, I will only have Yan'er and no concubines. I don't want to have a bunch of concubines. If a bastard is always thinking about murdering the master and taking the position himself, not to mention that Yan'er is unhappy, I am also exhausted."

Zhou Xiaocheng punched him awkwardly: "Are you accusing me?"

"I will never take a concubine in my life. If I do, let me be like this chopstick." He took the chopstick and snapped it in two. "I have no future. All I want in the future is to have a wife, children and food to eat."

The princess hit him: "You are a loser, only Yan'er doesn't despise you."

After settling down, Zhou Shaoyu went eagerly to look for Xie Yanyan.

Zhou Tangtang was so happy that such a capable girl was now his own. He had finally waited for this day.

Zhou Shaoyu asked the maid outside the yard to pass on a message that he wanted to meet Xie Yanyan and tell her that it had been decided.

Zhou Tangtang looked at him with a joking smile: "This princess allowed you to talk to Yan'er alone in this princess's small garden. How do you thank this princess?"

Zhou Shaoyu said: "Don't you want my set of "Qi Men Dun"? Here I give it to you!"

"Really? Do you mean what you said?"

"When have I ever broken my word?"

Zhou Tangtang readily gave him the garden: "Just talk with confidence, I will guard the gate for you."

Xie Yanyan was in Zhou Tangtang's small garden. Because there was a love grass in the garden that had become extinct in the 22nd century, she was fascinated by its research and did not pay attention to the transaction between the siblings.

When Zhou Shaoyu came in, he saw Xie Yanyan carefully examining a blade of grass.

He stood there for a while, his enthusiasm about to burst out, and said, "Xie Yanyan, I've been here for quite a while, why don't you even look at me?"

"Hmm?" Xie Yanyan looked up at him.

The man had a smiling face, a clean and bright brocade robe, and his black hair was tied up with a flawless jade crown.

His eyes were beautiful, deep and dark, his nose was like a hanging beam, his lips were like painted rouge, and his skin was like solidified fat.

Looks very good.

She dropped the grass in her hand and wiped her hands. She still felt a little embarrassed when she thought about being engaged to him.

“I didn’t notice.”

Seeing that her ears were red, but she still spoke indifferently, he felt a little unwilling, so he asked Xie Yanyan in a low voice: "We have made up our minds, can I hug you?"

My ears turned red too.

For so long, he has been thick-skinned and has been pulling her and carrying her on his back under the pretext of talking about things, but they have never even held hands formally.

They are already engaged, why is she still indifferent?

"Don't you like me?"

Xie Yanyan said: I like it, but I can’t say it out loud.

Zhou Shaoyu didn't care and just hugged her.

If we wait for her to take the initiative, the sows will already have climbed up trees to build nests.

Since she didn't understand, he would take the initiative.

I finally hugged the person I had dreamed of hugging thousands of times.

Before she even started to get nervous, his whole body began to tremble.

My head was buzzing and every cell was clamoring with the excitement of success.

It turns out that you still need to be thick-skinned.

Yan'er smells so good.

Yan'er is so soft.

Yan'er is so good! Yan'er is so good!

I was surprised and panicked. It turns out that hugging the girl I love is so happy. I can't help but say sweet words to you. You are the one I think of in my heart, you are the stars in my eyes, and you are the only one I will see for the rest of my life.

"Xie Yanyan, after the New Year, when you have your coming-of-age ceremony, we'll get married, okay? We'll never separate again, okay?"

"good."

"Xie Yanyan, why do you like me?"

"I don't know, maybe because you are pretty."

Zhou Tangtang was outside as a doorman, wondering how the two people in the yard were progressing? Would his younger brother and Yan'er speak politely to each other like his father and mother?

I tiptoed in and suddenly saw the two of them hugging each other, one with his head down and blushing, and the other smiling like a fool.

Her silly brother was saying: "Xie Yanyan, I will never let you down"

Oh my god, Zhou Tangtang’s face turned red and she ran out, faster than a rabbit!

He even considerately closed the door, stood outside, pressed his chest, and burst out laughing.

How could my younger brother say such embarrassing love words?

The county lady didn't even slap him away!

Zhou Tangtang was chewing a piece of grass, but his mind was filled with an elegant figure in a snow-white straight-collared robe.
