Chapter 42 The Betrothal Ceremony ([-])

Chapter 43 Engagement Ceremony ([-])

As the saying goes: "Know the child more than the father!"

Xia Zhao knew his two sons very well. Although the eldest son seemed to be superior in terms of aptitude and mentality, the second and third sons were not fuel-efficient lamps, and they were also among the best in the family.

Now that the eldest son and the second son are vying for a little country girl as their daughter-in-law, there must be an inside story. Xia Zhao decided to clarify the matter first.

He called his eldest son in first, and without giving Xia Ze time to react, he just said, "Tell me, what's the matter with that little girl?"

Although Xia Ze was wise in normal times and handled unexpected events with ease, when he met his father, he seemed to be at a loss everywhere and couldn't do anything.

He also had no intention of deceiving his father, so he opened his mouth and replied: "From the child's point of view, that little girl is very personable, and she should be the legendary Tianling root!"

Rao is Xia Zhao, who has been through the storm for a long time. He was also shocked for a while, his mind was blank, and he asked unconsciously: "Tianlinggen?"

Xia Ze was not sure, so he replied: "It is eight-point similar to the legendary Tianling root. It's easy for my father to determine it, can't he just test it himself?"

Xia Zhao came back to his senses, and felt that he was a little rude, and said embarrassingly: "Your brother also knows that this girl may be Tianlinggen?"

After thinking for a while, Xia Ze replied, "I shouldn't know, otherwise I wouldn't let other people's pigeons go. Hu Mei brought everyone, but the second brother doesn't want to marry them."

He paused for a while, and then continued: "It is estimated that the second brother is looking for a relative who will help him take over as the young patriarch, and now he is robbing me, because there is an element of anger."

Xia Zhao adjusted his thoughts, thinking that if a Tian Linggen married into the Xia family, the benefits to the family would not be the slightest bit, and this matter must be handled properly.

So, he said to his eldest son, "Leave nothing else and bring the little girl in!"

After Xia Ze came out, Xia Mu was about to enter, but his elder brother reached out his hand to stop him and said, "Wait a minute, father wants to see this little girl."

Xia Ze turned to Hu Hai again and said, "Brother Hu, do you mind letting Ai come in with me to meet my father?"

Hu Hai was a little overwhelmed today. First, he rushed to his cousin-in-law's house to "look at people", but his cousin-in-law poured cold water on his head, which made his heart feel cold.

Immediately after being invited to the wine table by the eldest young master of the Xia family as his first cousin, his daughter went from a country girl who was disliked by her cousin to her two brothers, like a dream.

Now the most authoritative old man of the Xia family wants to see his daughter again. Although the final result is still unknown, it is okay to see him.

Hu Hai took his daughter's hand and instructed: "Go to see Grandpa with Uncle Xia, don't be afraid, Dad is waiting for you here."

Xiao Zhengying nodded sensible "um", Luoluo followed Xia Ze into the room generously.

Xia Zhao first watched Hu Zhengying with the sky eye technique, and there was only a faint halo on her body and her dantian.

Xia Zhao then took Xiao Zhengying's little hand and walked into a sealed cabin, where he conducted a spiritual root test.

After a cup of tea, Xia Zhao led Xiao Zhengying out with a happy face, and said to Xia Ze: "You guessed right, it is a wood-type Tianling root, you lead Xiao Zhengying out first, I have to calm down. Think about how to handle this."

Xia Ze took Xiao Zhengying out of the room. She happily ran to her father, and Hu Hai's hanging heart finally let go.

After another cup of tea, Xia Zhao called both of their brothers in, and then directly asked the eldest son:
"If you disqualify you from inheriting the patriarch, in exchange for your son marrying Xiao Zhengying, would you like it?"

Xia Ze answered without hesitation: "Yes!"

Then he also asked his second son, but Xia Mu was a little hesitant, but seeing the eldest brother so happily agreed, and then answered yes.

Since all are willing, I will announce my decision: "It's on a first-come-first-served basis. The second one proposes the marriage first, and the elder one will give it to the second one. The young patriarch should have inherited the elder one, and the second one won't have to fight. "

Xia Ze still wanted to speak, but Xia Zhao waved him out directly. Seeing his second son's puzzled expression, he sighed and said:

"You're not as good as your eldest brother! You know why you want to marry Hu Hai, and why is your eldest brother rushing to marry Hu Hai, do you know?"

Naturally, Xia Mu didn't know the inside story, so he could only ask, "Why did eldest brother marry Hu Hai?"

Xia Zhao said angrily, "That's because your eldest brother found out that Hu Hai's daughter is Tian Linggen. Today, it has been tested for the father! Do you know where the gap between you and your eldest brother is?"

Hearing Tianlinggen, Xia Mu also remembered the record of "Tianlinggen" in the family classics. This is equal to a certain Jindan stage master, and there is still a half chance to become a Nascent Soul stage master!

Thinking of a Tian Linggen who was almost driven back to the countryside by himself, I don't know who will fall into the hands of someone, and I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

If this Heavenly Spirit Root is missed from his own hands this time, or if he accidentally forms an enemy with this Heavenly Spirit Root, then he will completely become a sinner of the Xia Family!

Thinking of this, he asked cautiously, "Father, what's the next step?"

Xia Zhao said, "I was just about to tell you about this. You should follow the rules of marriage first, and then when you're finalized, you must go to the Hu's house to make things lively!"

Xia Mu knew in his heart that his father had already settled on this matter, and there was no room for recovery.

Besides, if he picked up a daughter-in-law of Tianlinggen for no reason, his status in the family was aloof.To make a suggestion by myself is basically a sure thing, and there is really no need to fight for the status of a laborious young patriarch.

Competing for the status of the heir in a big family also has rules and bottom lines.

Now Xia Mu has figured it out, since the patriarch has no hope, let's get over his Tianlinggen daughter-in-law!

After returning home, he personally accompanied Hu Hai and his daughter to play in various places in Xiangzhou Prefecture.

All kinds of items, regardless of their value, only Xiao Zhengying showed a hint of interest, so he bought them immediately, so that their father and daughter could really enjoy what it means to be a "mother".

After Hu Hai proposed to go home, Xia Mu personally brought several carriages, filled with various gifts, to Hu's house to "Wending".

When they arrived at Hujiawan, Xia Mu called on the old patriarch of the Hu family according to the etiquette of the younger generation.

After Xia Mu and Hu Hai exchanged "Geng Tie", according to his father's instructions, Xia Mu was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he directly set the "Da Ding" day on an auspicious day ten days later.

Xia Mu was so nervous to settle the marriage. After the incident between the two brothers vying for their daughter-in-law, Hu Hai naturally thought it was because he was afraid of changing his mind, which made Hu Hai a little annoyed, thinking that Xia Mu looked down on his character.

At the same time, he was also caught off guard. It seemed that the Xia family was afraid that they wanted to increase their momentum, so they could only do their best to prepare for the "Dading" ceremony.
