No--
Saintess Amo didn't refuse to give it to her; rather, she removed it along with the silver necklace.
Together with the flower ribbon, it was tied to Achen's lusheng in its most beautiful form.
"Does this mean it's done?"
Seeing this, Han Feng, that lively character, quickly asked.
But no one answered his question.
The Miao people around him immediately erupted in shouts and celebrations.
As the deafening cheers erupted, the clan elder on the stage breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Rui, who had been waiting for this moment, held his breath and gave the order.
Colorful fireworks set up around the Lusheng field instantly shot into the sky.
Fireworks trailed colorful ribbons, creating a spectacular sight under the blazing sun.
At the same time, breathtaking music began to play.
Singing by men and women:
Marry her
Don't wait until A-mei gets old!
Take advantage of her good fortune and pursue her quickly.
Don't wait until your black hair turns white.
Marry her when you're at the height of your romance.
…
These four short musical lyrics completely blew the audience away.
The music keeps repeating at its climax, and the lyrics are easy to remember.
Instantly, the entire audience joined in singing.
Amo laughed, her eyes brimming with tears!
Amo was moved, and crystal-clear tears rolled down her cheeks.
But Ah Chen, with a blank expression, subconsciously continued to play the lusheng and dance.
Because he never thought of giving up. As long as Amo's flower ribbon is still there, he will not give up!
After Amo hung her flower belt and silver necklace on Achen's lusheng, Amo's mother immediately draped a prepared quilt over Achen according to custom.
This gesture is a blessing from the future mother-in-law to her daughter and future son-in-law: May they be together for a lifetime! For a lifetime!
While the colorful fireworks were still going off, the patriarch appeared and loudly announced:
"Mu Achen, the Miao man from the Black Miao branch of the Miao people and the future Miao King of Heiwu Village, and Tang Amo, the Holy Maiden from Quedong Village, have officially established their engagement!"
"Achen and Amo, from this moment forward: we pledge to grow old together."
"Tonight, we get engaged!"
roar---
The whole place erupted in cheers!
More colorful fireworks soared into the sky, their booming sounds never ceasing.
Amo revealed a mesmerizing smile as she looked at Achen.
But no one noticed that Ah Chen's expression was somewhat dazed; he felt like he couldn't stop.
"Ah Chen, stop jumping! That's enough!"
Amo whispered a reminder.
But after getting closer to Achen, she realized that something was wrong with him.
"Ah Chen, Ah Chen---"
Amo quickly pulled Achen away, "Stop bragging, stop bragging, I'm here, I've been waiting for you."
At this moment, although Ah Chen was dazed, his dance was even more beautiful and captivating than before.
The aunties and uncles from Heiwu Village and Quedong Village, who lived nearby, also noticed that Achen was unwilling to stop.
Amo only thought about it for a moment, and immediately understood what was going on.
She then took off her silver lock and hung it around Ah Chen's neck.
The more silver ornaments Amo gave him, the heavier Achen felt, and he gradually calmed down.
Finally, even the remaining three silver necklaces and nine pairs of silver bracelets were given to her, but Ah Chen still wouldn't stop, still staring at her silver earrings and silver Miao-style clothing.
"Ah Chen, I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you, okay? But you can't take off the silver robe, what will I wear if I take it off?"
In Quedong Village and Heiwu Village, it is customary that after the man receives the flower belt, the girl will give him a silver ornament as a token of their love.
Then they go to the village elder to weigh the silver ornaments. The man buys them back with silver ingots or cash. When they get married, they take the silver ornaments back to the girl's home, and the girl gets married in her finest clothes.
In other words, the more silver jewelry Amo gives now, the more cash Achen will have to hand over when it's weighed later.
Fortunately, Amo knew that Achen could afford the repurchase gift, otherwise she wouldn't have given it, as she was afraid of adding to the man's burden.
After all, in addition to the money for repurchasing the silver jewelry, according to custom, a fee is also given on the spot, regardless of the amount, it's just a gesture.
What if Ah Chen gave him too much?
Soon, Ah Chen stopped when he had finished looting all the removable silver ornaments from Ah Mo's dress.
At this moment, another round of revelry erupted.
Ah Chen was covered in cold sweat.
He wasn't unwell; he was just startled when Ah Mo pulled back her belt.
He thought Amo had changed her mind.
I just didn't expect that Amo would give him the belt and the silver necklace together.
On the main stage, Lu Rui spoke enthusiastically about the love views of Miao men and women, and the four-line lyrics were still being sung.
In Quedong Village, the girls who still had their flower ribbons left when their time was up, and then the girls from other villages entered.
Led by their relatives, Achen and Amo headed towards the clan elders.
During the journey, Ah Chen finally reached out and took Ah Mo's hand.
The moment he touched Amo's jade finger, he finally felt a sense of existence, realizing that he hadn't lived this life in vain.
Ah Chen's heart gradually settled down.
His small face remained indifferent, showing no sign of joy.
"Ah Chen, what's wrong? Are you angry with me? I didn't mean to, I just wanted to give you the most beautiful thing, I..."
Amo's voice was crisp, but also trembled slightly.
Because the Ah Chen she saw at this moment was not the same as the one she had seen before.
At this moment, Ah Chen seemed somewhat down.
Ah Chen tightened his grip on her hand, slowed his pace, turned his head slightly, and said, "I was really scared by you. I thought you weren't coming, I thought..."
"I promised you, I would come! Even if you can't find me today, I will wait for you."
