A few days later.
Xiao Yan brought a gift and went to propose marriage with the matchmaker.
Generally, in this first step, most people would hire a matchmaker to propose marriage, unlike Xiao Yan who came along.
However, there were no elders at Xiao Yan's home, and he was quite familiar with everyone in General Zhongwu's mansion, so it wouldn't seem strange for him to follow.
However, the way Qi He looked at him was a little strange, with a hint of inexplicable pity in it.
Xiao Yan: ...
He knew that General Zhongwu would definitely test him, so he did not feel sorry for himself. Instead, he was happy that Yaoyao had such a family who would keep an eye on her.
Qi Huaian narrowed his eyes and looked at the matchmaker and Xiao Yan who had stated their purpose. He was surprised and fell into deep thought.
Judging from Xiao Yan's attitude, it doesn't seem like this was a spur-of-the-moment idea?
Could it be that he had already had such an idea when Yaoyao was still in his house?
What about Yaoyao? Is she satisfied with him?
Qi Huaian knew that his wife had gone to Chen Yao's yard to find her to find out the situation, so he was not very anxious. When his wife came back, he would know what Yaoyao was thinking.
Thinking of this, he looked at the matchmaker and Xiao Yan and said, "Sit down and have a cup of tea first, take a break, and then we'll talk."
The matchmaker agreed tactfully.
Xiao Yan also nodded and sat down.
Qi Huaian took a sip of the tea in his hand, put down the cup, and asked the matchmaker: "You just said that you need my niece's birth date and time, right?"
The matchmaker replied, "Yes, General Zhongwu, we have also brought General Xiao's birth dates. If it is convenient, we can quickly compare the man and woman's birth dates to see if they are compatible."
Qi Huaian nodded and said, "Okay, then leave Xiao Yan's birth date and time to me, and I will personally match it."
Matchmaker: ???
Xiao Yan:!!!
Qi He: He really deserves to be his father.
The matchmaker said somewhat awkwardly: "General, this..." Isn't this against the rules?
Forgive her lack of experience, this is the first time she has seen such an operation.
Qi Huaian smiled and said, "It's okay, we won't do anything stupid, don't worry."
The matchmaker glanced at Xiao Yan again, and after getting his consent, she smiled and said to Qi Huaian, "Okay, I understand."
After saying that, she personally took Xiao Yan's birth date and time to Qi Huaian.
After Qi Huaian accepted it, he thought for a moment and then asked, "So, today, besides asking for the name and the birth date, are there any other procedures?"
The matchmaker knew this was a polite way of withdrawing, as it seemed the family wanted to resolve some issues internally, so he tactfully said, "General, there are no other procedures. The betrothal ceremony only involves these first two steps."
Qi Huaian nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
The matchmaker glanced at Qi Huaian, then at Xiao Yan, and then withdrew with understanding.
And at this moment, on Chen Yao's side.
Jiang Rou looked at Chen Yao's blushing face. What else didn't she understand?
She smiled and said, "It's rare for two people to be in love with each other. Once Xiao Yan passes the test of your uncle and the others, it will be almost done."
Chen Yao blushed and nodded, saying, "Aunt, I understand."
Jiang Rou looked at Chen Yao's shy appearance and suddenly remembered that she was already twenty years old this year and had wasted five years.
Fortunately, she has now found someone who loves her.
She also knew Xiao Yan, a reliable and honest child. They could feel at ease marrying Yaoyao to her.
Suddenly, Jiang Rou thought of something else. She wondered if her niece knew anything about sex.
When she has time later, she will look for the booklet at the bottom of the box to see if it can still be read. If it can, she will give it to her.
Reception room.
Qi Huaian asked Xiao Yan to stand up, and he walked around him with a frown, observing him, "Have you recovered from your previous injuries?"
Xiao Yan: "Yes, I'm all recovered, thanks to the supplements you asked Ah He to send over earlier."
Qi He burst out laughing. This kid is too good at flattering.
This time, his father and he became the biggest contributors?
Qi Huaian glanced at Qi He, who had lost his composure, and then continued to ask Xiao Yan: "You have been unmarried for so many years. Have you ever had a concubine, a maid, or a mistress?"
Xiao Yan quickly shook his head and said, "Never."
Qi Huaian asked again: "There is no fixed marriage contract or childhood engagement, right?"
Xiao Yan: "I promise, absolutely not."
Qi Huaian nodded, then as if he had thought of something crucial, he suddenly coughed and asked, "That thing, it hasn't been hurt, has it?"
Xiao Yan: ???
"Cough cough... cough..." Qi He was choked by the tea in his mouth. He stared at his father with wide eyes in shock. Is this something he can ask?
If he were Xiao Yan, he would be so embarrassed that he would want to crawl into the ground if asked such a question.
At this moment, Xiao Yan was also very surprised and embarrassed, but he tried his best to control his emotions and replied to Qi Huaian: "That thing, was not injured. Besides, you, don't worry, every aspect of my body, cough, is fine."
Qi Huaian raised his eyebrows, thinking that Xiao Yan shouldn't be a useless person, so he nodded and said, "Stay for lunch at noon. Yaoyao's grandfather will be back at noon and will examine you then."
Xiao Yan agreed: "Okay, General."
Not long after, Jiang Rou came over and nodded to Qi Huaian with a smile.
Qi Huaian then patted Xiao Yan's shoulder and said loudly, "Let's go, let's go to the martial arts training ground."
Xiao Yan had already prepared himself mentally, so he quickly responded, "Okay."
At this moment, he was extremely grateful that he had recovered his health before coming to propose marriage. Otherwise, in his previous state, he really would not be able to pass the martial arts test of General Zhongwu.
On the martial arts training ground.
Two tall and strong figures were fighting back and forth, attacking, defending, and receiving attacks...the fight was in full swing.
Qi He sat leisurely below, watching them sweat profusely, with an attitude of watching a show.
Tsk, but this kid Xiao Yan is indeed strong. Even when facing his father, he is not afraid at all. He will attack when he should, but will also hold back when he should. He admires his sense of propriety very much.
Qi He watched with great interest. There was nothing more enjoyable than watching others compete.
However, after a long time——
He suddenly saw them stop and look towards him at the same time.
Qi He: ???
"He'er, come up."
Qi He:!!!
So is this going to be a mixed doubles match against Xiao Yan?
At this moment, he really felt that Xiao Yan was quite pitiful.
