After the door was closed, only the master and the disciple were left.
"Master, how is your health lately?"
"Still pretty strong."
"Master, since you are leaving the mountain this time, why don't you stay here?"
Situ Wang thought for a long time after hearing this: "Should I stay in Yuncheng or Yunxi?"
"It would be better if you could stay with your disciple."
Situ Wang smiled and said, "How dare you say such a thing?"
"I never speak nonsense," Situ Yue said seriously. "After all, the mountains are dangerous. Even though you've set up barriers around our house, I still worry every day. And one day, you'll be too tired to farm or fetch water. And when that happens, I'll be far away. What will you do?"
Situ Wang stroked his beard and looked at Situ Yue.
When he came out seven years ago, he was still a nerd who didn't understand human nature and things, but now he is so thoughtful.
"Master?"
Situ Yue shouted.
"Since you say so, I'll stay."
Upon hearing this, Situ Yue's expression relaxed slightly. "I, your disciple, have been considering for a long time whether to keep Master here, as Yunxi City is about to undergo a major change."
"Yue'er has grown up, now it's your turn to take care of me."
Situ Yue felt a little embarrassed, as he was not very good at expressing his feelings.
"Let's not talk about these for now. Tell me first, who is the girl you want to marry?" Situ Wang heard Feng Ying's words on the way, but it was vague. Situ Wang knew that it was not a good thing.
"I accidentally ruined a girl's innocence. Master once taught me that I should be brave enough to take responsibility."
Situ Wang frowned as he listened, "On matters like this, Master still hopes you can follow your heart."
Situ Yue was a little surprised: "Master..."
"There are many etiquettes in the world, but none of them are human. My disciple is a living person, and marriage is a major event in life. If it's not the person you like, it's better to be single than to marry someone you don't like."
Situ Wang spoke as if he had something on his mind.
Situ Yue stood up and said respectfully, "My disciple's acquaintance with Miss Han was indeed a mistake, but it was also fate. When I asked to marry her, it was indeed because of etiquette and laws, but now it is a little different."
Situ Wang carefully measured Situ Yue's expression. Seeing that he was extremely serious, his stiff face softened, and he said gently, "Yue'er has grown into a man."
Situ Yue: ...
What am I in your heart?
"Since this is what you have in mind, Master will naturally grant your wish. Don't worry, the three betrothal gifts and six presents will not let the girl down."
"Thank you, Master. The betrothal gifts are ready and waiting for you."
Upon hearing this, Situ Wang laughed out loud and said, "Yue'er is so anxious?"
"No... no, I'm just worried that the Han family will be anxious." Situ Yue was rarely embarrassed, and Situ Wang laughed even louder.
"In that case, let me rest for a while today, and then I will go to your house to ask for your hand in marriage tomorrow!"
"Master Han will be on leave the next day, so it won't be too late for you to go later."
When Situ Wang saw that Situ Yue was so knowledgeable, he suddenly remembered how he chased girls when he was young and missed them very much.
Situ Wang pinched his fingers and said, "The day after tomorrow is a good day, so it will be the day after tomorrow."
When Situ Wang came, he did not bring any luggage. Now he can tell numbers with his fingers, which is very mysterious. However, Situ Yue knows that this is not metaphysics, but just a trick used by his master to deceive people.
Actually, it wasn't a lie... it was just a habit. Situ Wang was a master of destiny, and he didn't believe in ghosts or gods. When he was the Imperial Preceptor, people often asked him to calculate the date, and he would just make up stories. He had been doing this for a lifetime, and he got used to it.
Forget it, if his master said it was a good day, then it was a good day.
