Chapter 1068 – What Rotten Rules! Pui!
Some who were not on friendly terms with the Ji Mo Clan also used this opportunity to make remarks, stating that the Ji Mo Clan had no foresight and deserved this. The number one Young Master could not even keep his own woman well.
Of course, these were only commented on in private. People with silly mindsets felt that they were at least better than the young master in terms of women, that they have more authority in this topic as compared to Young Master Ya.
There were also people with sharp minds and felt that the matter was not as simple. These people emphasized that they were only here to congratulate and offer gifts and would not comment about anything else.
As the two clans held this marriage engagement with high regard, the great hall used for the ancestor recognition ceremony was also used to hold the guests and banquet this time.
The hall was filled with banquet tables, from outside the building to the corridors, to the small garden within.
Countless wines and delicious dishes were delivered onto these tables as the servants moved from one table to another like b.u.t.terflies amongst flowers, busy but not chaotic.
Everyone has taken their seats long ago, waiting for the auspicious hour whereby people from the Shang Qiu Clan would arrive and the two families will have a marriage agreement.
***
The courtyard house of the Shang Qiu Clan.
Shang Qiu Meng Qian had started preparations in the early morning. He had wanted to visit the Bai Li Clan with the gifts’ arrival and to meet Qing Qing.
However, Bai Li Ren firmly rejected it, saying that the man and woman should not meet before the engagement ceremony as it would be inauspicious!
What rotten rules! Pui!
Shang Qiu Meng Qian was very unhappy, but could only leave after seeing the resolute expression on Bai Li Ren.
His heart feels like a cat was clawing on it, yet he had no choice but to hope for the day of the engagement to quickly arrive.
Surprisingly, Shang Qiu Meng Qian had been nervous the previous night and did not have a good sleep as he was feeling both happy and apprehensive, thus unable to have a peace of mind. As though the entire engagement procedure had been too smooth, it felt unreal.
However, everything was in order. All that was left was to finish the engagement ceremony process; once the two parties become official, there will be no need for such worries.
After cheering himself, Shang Qiu Meng Qian shook his head, wanting to laugh. He must have gotten too nervous over the past few days, causing him to act slightly abnormally.
After adjusting his s.h.i.+rt, he followed the red carpet and walked out of the courtyard. Eight Crimson Belly Rocs were pulling a carriage colored in red silk. The guards were also wearing matching red ribbon clasps, the entourage was looking extremely grandiose and powerful.
Shang Qiu Meng Qian got into the carriage and waved his hand. The carriage flew into the air and headed towards the Bai Li Clan slowly.
This was a form of ancient ritual. Not many could perform it to such a level nowadays, it also represented how much Huan Qing Yan was valued.
The Bai Li Clan was situated on a mountain, with the weather being autumn, the forest was colored with red maple leaves. The red leaves looked like magnificent clouds of fire that had colored half the sky red.
This was also one of the Bai Li Clan’s famous scenery. As Shang Qiu Meng Qian sat in the carriage and was pa.s.sing through this maple tree forest, he felt that no scene could exceed this one.
Comparable to the Icicle Marvel of the Shang Qiu Clan.
After pa.s.sing through the maple tree forest, was the Bai Li Clan’s main building. The speed was maintained at the pace for the entourage to arrive exactly at the start of the auspicious hour.
Shang Qiu Ment Qian felt his heart beating extremely fast. No matter how arrogant and lofty he acted in normal times, today was his big day, how could he control this small excitement swelling inside of him?
He suddenly felt that his hair today was not good enough, or something about his clothes seems not right. Yet he hesitated about what to do when he met Qing Qing, is he to smile at her or just smile casually?
The internal dialogue of Shang Qiu Meng Qian caused his expression to change rapidly and then he stretched his hand out the window of the carriage and signaled to stop.
