Save the Bachelor of Heaven

"Me?!" Bai Zhantang was taken aback for a moment, then waved his hands again and again, "No, no, no."

Seeing that he refused so simply, Tong Xiangyu's face darkened immediately.

"Why? Why can't you and the shopkeeper?" Guo Furong asked in confusion.

"That's right, haven't all of you already..." Xiucai said incomprehensibly.

Everyone knows the relationship between Lao Bai and the shopkeeper. Seeing him say that now, he was naturally puzzled.

"Okay, I understand what Lao Bai is thinking." Xiang Nan stopped and said, "Lao Bai is worried about his identity, and one day something will come out, so he doesn't want to involve the shopkeeper."

Hearing what he said, Bai Zhantang immediately felt a confidant.

"Zhantang~" Seeing Bai Zhantang's reaction, Tong Xiangyu also understood immediately, and couldn't help feeling more love in his heart.

"Old Bai, if you think so, you are indeed a man." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "But have you ever thought about the feelings of the shopkeeper, would she fall in love with and marry someone else besides you? The shopkeeper , say it yourself."

Guo Furong and Lu Xiucai all looked at Tong Xiangyu.

Tong Xiangyu shook his head resolutely, "Zhantang, I will be yours for the rest of my life."

"Old Bai, have you seen that the only one in the shopkeeper's heart is you." Xiang Nan advised, "Let's assume that if you are safe for the rest of your life and have not been arrested at all, then you won't marry the shopkeeper, right? it is a pity?

Take a ten thousand step back and say, even if you are arrested one day, your crime will not reach the point of implicating the whole family. You and the shopkeeper get married early, and when the time comes, you will have a boy and a half girl.

Not to mention keeping it for yourself, even if it is for the shopkeeper to think about it, it will save her from waiting for you all alone outside. You say I'm right? "

"Yes, it makes sense. Lao Bai, if you want to die, you will not die for thousands of years. Walking in the rivers and lakes, you are still afraid of wolves and tigers." Guo Furong nodded and said, "Listen to me, just do it and you'll be done."

"That's right, my son once said that you will shrink back, even though there are tens of thousands of people, I will go." Lu Xiucai also nodded, "If you really love the shopkeeper, don't care about other things."

"Zhantang..." Tong Xiangyu also called out to Bai Zhantang.

"I..." Bai Zhantang still hesitated.

Tong Xiangyu saw that everyone said that, but he was still indecisive, and his face darkened again.

Xiang Nan observed his words, and quickly said again, "Okay, shopkeeper, don't force him. Marriage matters cannot be decided with just a few sentences.

In this way, if you don't get married first, you can get engaged first? Three letters and six rites, the marriage is settled. Giving each other a name can also coax the old man away.

Otherwise, if the old man really brought the shopkeeper back to Hanzhong, what will you do, Old Bai? Continue to stay and wait? Or go out and wander the rivers and lakes? "

"That's right, Lao Bai, get engaged first, then get married." Guo Furong persuaded.

"Old Bai, what you say makes sense." Lu Xiucai persuaded.

Hearing what he said, Bai Zhantang finally nodded.

Seeing that he finally agreed, Tong Xiangyu couldn't help laughing through tears.

...

Afterwards, Bai Zhantang told Tong Boda that he liked Tong Xiangyu and wanted to get engaged to her.

"Are you really willing to get engaged to my daughter? You don't dislike her being a widow?" Tong Boda looked at Bai Zhantang and asked.

"Really, I'm telling the truth." Bai Zhantang nodded, "I don't think Xiangyu is a widow, I will marry her in this life."

"Okay, good son-in-law, good son-in-law, you have solved one of my worries." Tong Boda said excitedly when he heard this, "Well, what dowry do you want? Zi'er doesn't press down."

During the Ming Dynasty, although widows could remarry, it was not a decent thing after all. Even for a person like Tong Xiangyu, whose fiancé died before he formally married, it is still difficult to find a good family when he remarries.

Therefore, for Tong Boda, Bai Zhantang's willingness to marry Tong Xiangyu really settled his mind.

"No, no, my friendship with Xiangyu is priceless." Bai Zhantang smiled and waved his hand.

"Good son-in-law, good son-in-law, what you say makes the old man feel ashamed." Hearing what he said, Tong Boda was moved to tears.

"Father, don't cry, what are you crying for?" Seeing this, Tong Xiangyu quickly persuaded her.

"Okay, it's not too late. Let's get engaged tomorrow." Tong Boda said again, "Then I'll go back to Hanzhong immediately, bring the dowry over, and then buy some houses and land, collect rent or open a shop, you two decide for yourself, Ok, deal."

"Okay." Bai Zhantang and Tong Xiangyu nodded.

...

Another day later, Xiang Nan attended the engagement ceremony of Bai Zhantang and Tong Xiangyu.

Originally, the ancient engagement ceremony was quite complicated, divided into six steps: Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, asking for a date, and welcoming in person.

Nacai means coming to propose marriage; asking name means asking for the name and horoscope; Najib is sending some gifts to express the intention of engagement; nazheng is the official dowry gift; the date of request is to finalize the date of the wedding; That is to say, to marry the bride...

Because Bai Zhantang and Tong Xiangyu have already known each other, and Tong Xiangyu is a widow after all, so everything is simplified. It's just that the yin and yang students are asked to combine the horoscope, and then Bai Zhantang gives the betrothal gift, and the wedding date is finalized, which is considered to be the completion of the engagement.

Yin Yangsheng is from Qixia Town, and Xiang Nan invited him here.

Before coming, Xiang Nan gave all instructions.

Bai Zhantang and Tong Xiangyu are naturally compatible, and the wedding date is set for next year.

Xiang Nan knew that the main reason why Bai Zhantang didn't dare to marry Tong Xiangyu was because he was afraid that he would hurt her if he was arrested. It won't be long before he gets the gold medal for exoneration, though.

At that time, all his previous sins will be forgiven. Then there is no obstacle between him and Tong Xiangyu.

Although Tong Boda disliked setting the wedding date too late, since it was calculated by Yin and Yang, that day was the best auspicious day for the zodiac and the most beneficial for future generations, so he had no choice but to agree.

Seeing his daughter getting engaged to Bai Zhantang, Tong Boda rode back to Hanzhong satisfied.

"Strange son-in-law, I'll send you a dowry as soon as I turn back." He said with a smile, "If you have time, you can also bring Xiangyu to Hanzhong to play."

"Okay, I've remembered everything, you old man, go slowly." Bai Zhantang nodded and said.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief after sending Tong Boda away.

"Da Zui, thank you for this matter." Bai Zhantang patted Xiang Nandao gratefully.

It wasn't Xiang Nan who persuaded him, he still hasn't had the courage to take the first step. But in fact, after taking this step, he felt much more relaxed.

Although he and Tong Xiangyu were in love with each other before, but after all, they had not confirmed their identities, so they always seemed to be separated by a layer of membrane.

Now that they are engaged, and after the two people's identities are established, the membrane will disappear in an instant. The relationship was completely clarified, and the degree of intimacy immediately increased by an order of magnitude.

"You're welcome, Lao Bai, we are all friends." Xiang Nan laughed.
