The Book of Heaven

Chapter 285 The Ceremony Begins

If it weren't for the news that Ma Zhengren was in Zhuge's house, perhaps Da Yueshi would not be so impulsive, but when an opportunity to "kill two birds with one stone" was presented to Da Yueshi, no matter how calm he was, he could no longer maintain emotional stability up.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sun was rising, the entire Zhuge family’s courtyard was filled with joy. Ribbons of various colors that had been prepared a few days ago were hung all over the treetops. Countless red lanterns symbolized that today is a good day for Zhuge’s family. During the day, even the servants up and down the house changed into bright red and purple clothes, and everyone had an unconcealable smile on their faces, although not all of them were happy for the eldest lady's engagement, But a red envelope of one tael of silver is enough to make them forget the hard work of the past few days and laugh heartily.

"This uncle is really unreliable!"

After dawn, the first thing Zhuge Xingxing did was to go to Ma Zheng's small courtyard, but she stopped after a long distance, just because Ma Zheng's small courtyard was decorated as before, without any change, compared with the joy of the entire Zhuge family It was simply out of place, and Ma Zhao, who was dozing off on the threshold of the main room like a door god, also silently told Zhuge Xingxing that Ma Zheng had not made a preliminary decision.

Zhuge Xingxing, who had come here with some hopes, was completely disappointed. She didn't approach the small courtyard at all, but stomped her feet resentfully, turned around and left.Returning to Zhuge Mingyue, looking at the young lady who was dressing up in front of the mirror, Zhuge Xingxing pursed her lips, fully expressing her dissatisfaction with Ma Zheng.

"Okay, Xing Xing, isn't the matter already settled? Let Zhan Congting temporarily replace Ma Zheng today. Anyway, there is no need to pay homage. Grandpa said that I don't even need to say a word to that Zhan Congting. We just show up together. Then there is no business for me, why do you care about it?"

"Miss, it's not that the slaves care about every detail, they really feel worthless for the lady!"

"It's okay, Ma Zheng owes me this time, can't it be good for him to make up for it when we get married?" It's also Zhuge Mingyue who is kind-hearted, and she and Zhuge Xingxing are sisters, otherwise she would feel the same way. It's not good, how can I turn around to comfort my maid.

Of course, Zhuge Xingxing also knew that there were some things that he couldn't show too much. Hearing what Zhuge Mingyue said, he hurriedly cleaned up his emotions and helped Zhuge Mingyue dress up.

Even though Zhuge Yashan had asked to keep a low profile on this matter, so the Zhuge family did not issue invitations to the outside world, but with the Zhuge family's status in Bashu, anyone who can come before dawn will automatically and consciously participate in this event. The purpose of the Zhuge family's engagement ceremony was to express their sincerity, and secondly, to recognize the person while presenting congratulatory gifts, so that they could see clearly what the uncle Zhuge's family had uprooted, so that they could tell their own people not to clash in the future.

So almost from dawn, there were constant guests at the gate of Zhuge's house, the traffic was busy, and the mountain of congratulatory gifts had exhausted round after round of intellectuals, and the manager had changed three and was still overwhelmed.

Of course, the really important guests had already checked into Zhuge's house two days ago, so there was no need to join in the excitement.

As the sun rises, the auspicious time is approaching. In the main hall of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Yashan and other important figures from the family have appeared one after another. The guests also arrange their seats according to their status. Of course, this kind of occasion is not just any Everyone is eligible to enter the main hall to sit quietly, many people were placed in the side hall, but no one dared to show the slightest dissatisfaction on their faces.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhuge Yashan felt very relieved.On the one hand, as the head of the Zhuge family, such a grand scene proves that the prestige of the Zhuge family will not be compromised. On the other hand, it also made Zhuge Yashan think of Zhuge Mingyue, the jewel in his palm, and today he finally had a very satisfactory confession.

Being an elder is often like this, worrying about children for a lifetime, but enjoying it.

Following the master of ceremonies' slogan, the well-dressed "Ma Zheng" finally appeared in the sight of Zhuge's family and the guests. Among them, he had an extraordinary bearing and a well-behaved manner. Judging from his appearance, he was considered young and handsome, and he won a lot of applause. Voice.

However, those who knew the inside story, including Zhuge Yashan, looked at "Ma Zheng" with some dissatisfaction in their eyes.

Even though Zhuge Yashan knows that this situation cannot be violated, but in such an environment, he certainly hopes that the process with his precious granddaughter will be a perfect process, not a farce of "civet cat for prince".

"Grandpa, Ma Zheng owes our family a big favor this time!"

Seeing the "Ma Zheng" bowing in circles in the center, Zhuge Ming, who was standing behind Zhuge Yashan, said in a low voice.

"Favour? Do we need this kind of favor? Hmph, when that kid comes out of samadhi, see how I will deal with him!" Although Zhuge Yashan kept smiling, the anger contained in his words made Zhuge Ming shake his head again and again. , secretly worried for Ma Zheng.

"Miss Zhuge Mingyue, please."

The voice of the master of ceremonies was high again, and various musical instruments burst into cheerful tunes. Following two lines of young ladies leading the way, Zhuge Mingyue, wearing a bright red Luan robe, finally appeared at the door.

"Wow! It is indeed the jewel in the palm of Zhuge's family, it really is the beauty of the country!"

Although everyone here today knows that Zhuge Mingyue is unparalleled in beauty, Zhuge Mingyue, who was raised in a deep boudoir, rarely shows up in public, and many people just heard about it. He expressed incomparable envy to "Ma Zheng", a toad that ate swan meat.

Zhan Congting's mood at this time was really tangled.

As a man, being able to stand with a woman like Zhuge Mingyue is an indelible experience in his life, but Zhan Congting also knows that his identity at this time is a substitute, and he can't even get too close to Zhuge Mingyue, let alone Don't even think about holding that jade hand and kissing Fangze.

This kind of feeling is really uncomfortable, it's really embarrassing for Zhan Congting to show just the right amount of ecstasy.

Guided by the high-pitched voice of the master of ceremonies, the procedure of the engagement ceremony is being completed in an orderly manner. Because it has been arranged in advance, the whole process is just like what Zhuge Mingyue said. Basically, she just showed her face, and then behaved Standing behind Zhuge Yashan, only "Ma Zheng" was left in the middle to continue the following activities.

If it is an ordinary family, getting married does not necessarily require an engagement, even if it is an engagement, it will certainly not be so complicated. However, for a family of the Zhuge family, everything cannot be simple, otherwise it will be a loss of status and people will laugh at it .

In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and "Ma Zheng", who had been made almost collapsed by the master of ceremonies, finally heard the voice of the master of ceremonies announcing the banquet for the guests. The first step is a new couple toasting to their elders.

"Father, where do you think Zhuge's family found this guy? He's no different from Ma Zheng."

After sitting for a long time with nothing to do, Liu Dezhu finally couldn't help asking.

Liu Yuncai, who was sitting next to him, said no, but his face was a bit dignified.
