There were too many people at the martial arts hall, and a table was set up for the New Year's Eve dinner. Huo Qijing came back from there, and he had obviously drunk some wine. His cheeks were slightly red, but his eyes were particularly bright, and even the wrinkles in his double phoenix eyes looked particularly deep. As soon as he sat down, he held her hand tightly.
Tang Shiyue let him hold her.
Everyone pretended not to see it, except Han Yi, who frowned, hesitated for a moment and still said nothing.
Then Huo Qijing whispered in her ear: "I have almost arranged everything... Let Weilu stay. He is quite skilled and can handle anything. You should ask Chen Qian to handle the outside matters. If there is anything he cannot do, he will naturally ask someone to help... Your brother will also take the exam after the New Year. I heard from Mr. Xu that it will be no problem for him to be a scholar. I have already found two people to serve as temporary servants. Let them protect these people when the time comes. Otherwise, they are all weak scholars and you will be worried..."
Tang Shiyue's nose felt a little sour.
She had always thought it was no big deal.
It's just a separation, it's not like we won't see each other again in the future. When we meet again, he will have become an uncle. It feels like peeling off the wrapping paper on a gift box, revealing the sweet and delicious snacks inside, which I can eat up right away!
Until now, after he said this, both families had made arrangements properly... It was like a switch that made her realize all of a sudden that there was still a long process in between.
She lowered her head, feeling very sad.
Huo Qijing moved closer to her and whispered in a very low voice: "As for... the wine shop, if you really feel that it is not appropriate, it is better to separate them. Your ideas are sometimes too novel. Not to mention them, even Shen Qian sometimes cannot understand them. It is better to separate before there is a conflict, and don't wait until the relationship is exhausted... Anyway, no matter whether it is Yuefang or other places, the business will follow you wherever you are, so there is no need to worry about delays..."
...
...
"Also, if you want to leave Qinzhou in the future, you can't be alone. In a few days, I will arrange for a young lady to come here and pretend to be your younger sister. She is proficient in medicine and has good martial arts skills. You can stay and serve her personally..."
She really couldn't help it.
He was so worried that he wanted to arrange everything, even things that might happen in a few months or even years.
She lowered her head and tears fell on the back of his hand.
His voice suddenly stopped and he turned to look at her: "Ayue?"
She pinched the back of his hand, thinking, "What should I do if I miss you? You have already arranged everything, so why don't you arrange this?"
A Jing, A Jing, I miss you now!
Tears fell like beads from a broken string.
Madam Zhou couldn't help herself and said, "Yuer, it's New Year's Day, you can't cry! It's unlucky!"
Tang Shiyue suddenly came to his senses.
Yes, you can’t cry, it’s unlucky.
She quickly wiped her tears with both hands and said in a low voice, "Stop crying. I'll go wash my face."
She trotted out and fetched some water from the side room. There was hot water on the kang every day, so she poured the water out and washed her face.
Huo Qijing's voice sounded behind him, whispering, "Ayue, can we get engaged?"
She paused, then continued washing, and he stood quietly behind her.
Although I knew she wouldn't agree...but as we were about to part, my heart was like a kite hanging in the air, lost and aimless. I don't know why, but I said this.
Seeing that she didn't look back, Huo Qijing sighed inwardly. He didn't want to hear her excuses, but looking at her slender waist and her smooth and soft hair... he couldn't bear to take even a second look at her.
Then she turned around with tears on her face, her eyes shining like the moonlight, and asked him, "What did you say just now? I didn't hear clearly."
Huo Qijing sighed silently, his eyes slightly shifted away, but she held his face with both hands domineeringly, not allowing him to turn his head: "Speak?"
"Engagement," he turned around, looked at her, and said word by word very seriously: "I like you, I want to marry you, we are engaged, you stay at home and wait for me to come back."
She laughed all of a sudden, then she jumped up and kissed him, smiling like a little fox: "Okay!"
Actually, getting engaged is a bit troublesome.
First of all, it’s the parents’ orders. There are no parents on either side.
Exchange birth date forum. The girl's parents are unknown, not even three generations of birth date. We don't even know if Tang Shiyue's birth date is correct.
But Tang Shiyue didn't care about the form. The two of them discussed it and Huo Qijing brought a pair of jades. They each kept one as a token of trust between the two parties. The engagement letter was also exchanged. Yan Dong personally helped write it and acted as the ice man.
Although others may think this is too trifling, only Huo Qijing understands that this ice man is really very important and is comparable to a marriage of destiny.
So after midnight, Tang Shirong, as the "girl's head parent", drank a few glasses of wine with Huo Qijing, and the matter was settled.
Huo Qijing's rare joy was beyond words, his eyes were curved. Tang Junchen and Sheng Qi urged him to drink, and he accepted both offers. They made a lot of noise until almost dawn, then they separated and took a nap for an hour.
Mrs. Ye got up early in the morning to cook. Tang Shiyue also got up early, which was rare for her. She called Qi Yang and Xiao Yaoer and built a snowman in the yard.
Hearing her clear laughter, Huo Qijing rubbed his forehead and slowly opened his eyes.
Having drunk a lot of wine, Huo Qijing felt dizzy. When he calmed down, he felt something sticky between his legs.
Huo Qijing's expression changed slightly.
This is not the first time.
Although living in the stone house is close to A Yue, it is indeed a bit troublesome to deal with pants in the morning.
Normally, Tang Shirong went to Xu's house before dawn, and Tang Shiyue got up late, so no one noticed him at all. But now, Tang Shiyue was playing outside with the two little ones. How could he pass in front of her and go around behind her with his pants in his hand?
Huo Xiaolang changed his clothes and walked around the room several times with his pants in his hand, still undecided.
Then Xiao Yaoer came over and knocked on the window: "Brother Qi, hurry up and get up! Grandma has cooked the dumplings!"
Huo Qijing had no choice but to respond. Tang Shiyue laughed and said, "Hahaha, Jing, you're such a lazy bum!"
Mrs. Ye brought the dice and couldn't help laughing, "How can there be a girl like you who wakes up earlier than others? It's ridiculous! Yesterday, you watched people pour him wine and didn't care. I'm afraid he's not feeling well now! I've cooked some hangover soup on the stove, bring him a bowl."
Tang Shiyue had never thought of this. She thought that since this man was already hers, she should be responsible. So she served him some hangover soup and knocked on the door: "A Jing? Are you awake? I'm coming in."
"No!" Huo Qijing said, "Don't come in."
Hmm? Tang Shiyue didn't really think about it that way, but he sounded weird and a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay!" Huo Qijing heard Sheng Qi's voice from afar, and simply opened the box, hid the pants in it, then quickly opened the door and took the hangover soup: "It's okay, Ayue, go eat the dime, don't worry about me."
At this time, Sheng Qi and the other person also came in. After hearing the tail end of the conversation, Sheng Qi came up and wanted to wish them a happy new year, but suddenly he smelled something.
He was born with a dog's nose, and he understood immediately after smelling it. He gave him an ambiguous smile and blinked at him.
Huo Qijing had a blank expression on his face and his ears were red.
Sheng Qi laughed and said, "Happy New Year, A Jing! Happy New Year, A Yue!"
As he spoke, he tugged at her sleeve, pulled her around, and said to the two children, "Come, wish your brother Sheng a happy new year."
Huo Qiyang was rather aloof and ignored him, but Xiao Yaoer was always obedient and liked this brother very much, so she stood up and put her hands together to wish him a happy new year: "Happy new year, Mr. Yan, and happy new year, Brother Sheng!"
Xiao Changrui also said it.
"Be good!" Sheng Qi gave each of them a small gold ingot, and Yan Dong also gave a red envelope. Later, Xiao Chenxi from Qiao Sangyu's family came over. According to her seniority, she had to call Tang Shiyue "Grandmaster", so she just called him "Grandmaster". Sheng Qi and the others also grew in seniority and were given New Year's money.
While the party was going on, people came one after another to wish them a happy new year.
Yan Dong and Sheng Qi went to the martial arts hall after dinner, but Huo Qijing stayed behind. When the people who came to pay New Year's greetings learned about the two's engagement, they all congratulated them.
There were also many people who inquired about Tang Shirong's marriage arrangements openly or secretly, but they were all easily blocked by Tang Shiyue.
