Chapter 120: Engagement, Gathering in Hall 1
Beitang Yi kissed Mu Lianzhi for as long as she thought.
If she hadn't covered her mouth at the end, Mu Lianzhi would have really suspected that someone wanted to kiss her mouth off. She tilted her head and looked at him from bottom to top inquiringly.
I always feel like he's a little emotional.
Just as he calmed down, he met a pair of innocent and confused beautiful eyes. Beitang Yi was almost furious again. He dragged her to him and patted her lower back twice:
"Don't worry about things you shouldn't worry about."
"..."
Mu Lianzhi's mouth pursed, and she was a little unhappy:
How come this has nothing to do with her?
She thinks it’s dirty and she’s afraid of death, okay?
Just as Mu Lianzhi was about to say something, a kiss landed precisely on her lips:
"No need to tell me in advance. I won't let you go, and I don't want anyone else either."
As for whether he could give her a future and what would happen in the future, at that moment, Beitang Yi had no idea, and he just unconsciously increased the strength with which he held her.
The two of them were face to face in close proximity, and Mu Lianzhi vaguely felt something. At this moment, the sky suddenly became bright, and the gauze curtain suddenly became bright.
"Is it going to be dawn?"
It's time for her to go.
The thought of parting suddenly came to his mind, and the sadness was instantly replaced by reluctance. Mu Lianzhi said nothing more, and rubbed his slightly bearded chin:
"It's just a chore. I have to take some time to catch up on some sleep today."
Stroking her sore waist, Mu Lianzhi pushed him away, adjusted the crooked bellyband on her body, reached out and grabbed the underwear he had thrown aside, and put them on in no time.
Just as she was about to stand up, her waist felt tight, and a burning chest pressed against her from behind:
"Did you forget something?"
"what?"
Turning around and thinking about it, Mu Lianzhi thought he was waiting for her to express her opinion, so she said:
"I believe you~"
Anyway, there is no need to rush now, and we can talk about it later. Thinking of this, she found that the force on her waist did not loosen as she moved, and the man's face seemed to become even gloomier.
Isn't this enough?
After thinking for a moment, she touched his stern profile soothingly with her backhand, and then she took the initiative to kiss him on the lips.
However, the next second, someone's face became even gloomier, almost as if he was about to burst into tears.
Why does it seem like things are getting worse the more I coax them?
Mu Lianzhi was confused.
Feeling the obvious increase in the force on her waist, she tilted her head and looked at him again:
"Master Beitang, Brother Beitang, I, I forgot something? Can you tell me?"
Just as she was thinking hard, she felt someone hook the bracelet on her wrist.
Mu Lianzhi was even more confused.
It's just a jade bracelet. Should he ask her to pay back the money or thank him?
Mu Lianzhi's eyes widened in doubt and questioning. Beitang Yi was really anxious:
"Are you stingy with a gift?"
You're about to leave, but you still don't give it to him!
So it couldn't be that it wasn't given to him at all?
Beitang Yi's face darkened, but then an idea flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help laughing. Mu Lianzhi burst out laughing, and fell forward and backward with laughter:
"Haha~"
She turned her body to face him, and this time, she put her arms around his neck:
"A gift of one tael of silver, is it something that even a great Beitang master would be so envious of? Don't you think it's cheap?"
She happily kissed him twice on the cheek, then she softly explained:
"The yellow dragon jade is carved with flowers and a pair of magpies. It doesn't look majestic or majestic at all. How can I give you such a cheap and effeminate thing? I carefully selected it and prepared it specially for the eldest young master of the Marquis' Mansion, Young Master Ling."
"I heard that he will soon be joining the Imperial Academy. I can't help but show some appreciation, right?"
Seeing that he was obviously disappointed and seemed a little unhappy, Mu Lianzhi also remembered the gourd amulet and the jade pendant that she had destroyed with her own hands.
After a pause, she compromised and said:
"You know I'm a handicraftsman, you have to give me some time, right?"
"Really?"
Seeing his eyes light up, Mu Lianzhi suddenly felt sorry for him. This man seemed difficult to get close to, but he was actually quite easy to coax.
Nodding, she kissed him on the lips again, her voice becoming more gentle:
"Well, what I give you should at least be the best that I can offer."
After holding her for a while, Beitang Yi said:
"I'll take you back."
Beitang Yi carried her all the way back to Yuxiuyuan. He even sat by her bed for a while, watching her fall asleep before he tiptoed away.
……
The wedding date of Ling Feier and the young master of the Fuguo Mansion, Bao Yanqing, was set at almost rocket speed, which was at the end of September half a month later.
It is said that it was calculated based on the horoscopes of the two people. Apart from this auspicious day, the next one will have to wait a year. It is said that there will be no spring in the next year, and it will be a widow's year. Not only is it not suitable for marriage, but it will also bring bad luck to the two of them.
For several days in a row, the Marquis' Mansion was immersed in a busy and joyful atmosphere, which was rare in its liveliness and harmony.
In Yuxiu Courtyard, a new piece of jade was selected and Mu Lianzhi was busy having fun.
This time, she personally asked Master Lu Qian to carve it for her. She still chose a majestic Qilin pattern. There was no inscription on it, but instead a circle of intertwined branches pattern was placed around the jade pendant.
For the two secondary decorations above and below the round jade pendant, she chose two half-rings of white jade, each carved into the shape of a pair of spread wings, surrounding the light green jadeite round plate, which are seamlessly integrated and complement each other.
Wings and branches connected.
This time it was the same vision she gave him back.
Mu Lianzhi had just finished making and checking the last tassel when Chunmiao hurried in.
"Miss, the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion has come to propose marriage. There are dozens of them, and it's quite grand, with gongs and drums beating all the way."
"profound?"
Carefully wrapping the jade pendant with cloth and locking the bamboo basket, Mu Lianzhi handed it to Xia Xiu, who was standing beside her, and asked her to keep it. She then stood up and stretched her muscles:
"Who's here?"
"Two ladies and the young master came from the Fuguo Mansion. The eldest lady came to greet them. They chatted and laughed all the way to the old lady's yard."
As they were talking, the sound of firecrackers suddenly came from the courtyard. After looking at each other, Mu Lianzhi sneered:
"It's really serious."
I just don’t know how long this happy event can last?
"The Marquis' Mansion has had a lot of happy events recently~"
If they didn't try to kill her, she wouldn't mind being a quiet widow in this small courtyard.
"Miss, do you want to go and take a look? What a coincidence! My cousin is here today too."
After saying this slyly, Chunmiao added, thinking of something:
"Oh, and Miss Gu, she and Uncle are here too, and they are probably in the old lady's yard now."
"Oh? They're all here? What's the etiquette for an engagement? Was the date set in advance? Ling Yuyao didn't even come to the last Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, so why is the next engagement so grand?"
Mu Lianzhi suddenly had a strange, bad feeling.
On such a happy day, is it possible that the Marquis' Mansion is looking for bad luck and doing something weird?
Not so!
"The date was set in advance by both families, but usually it's just a formality for the elders. It seems that Miss Gu went to pray to a master for a child last time, so today must be a coincidence."
