Chapter 462: Auspicious Day for Proposing Marriage
"Then... I know you can't stay at home for too long. In a few days, I will propose to the young lady."
As soon as Gu Qingyun said this, Jinli felt a tinnitus in his ears, and then his brows were filled with joy. He always thought that Brother Gu was a good person, and he was even more delighted to have achieved this day.
"That's great. Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to make it back in time to attend your wedding banquet. The situation on the mountain is very strict, so I can only send you some blessings."
Gu Qingyun smiled, and the two chatted for a while, and then Jinli returned to the dining table.
After everyone finished eating, the old man looked at Jinli and said, "Jinli, you don't have to go with us today. We won't be returning to the mountain until tomorrow, and we have to stay in an inn outside today. You finally came back, so spend some time with your family."
Koi was extremely happy. He thought he would have to leave after the meal and had not had a good chat with everyone.
Qi Tao hasn't even had time to come back yet. If he leaves, it will be a bit regrettable.
……
After Qi Tao came back in the evening, the brother and sister talked for a long time before they separated.
Everyone gathered together to eat. It had been a long time since the restaurants in Kyoto were so crowded, not to mention that there were a lot more people this time.
Zhao Hengzhi had already left Kyoto Restaurant without saying goodbye to Koi. Koi felt a little disappointed because she didn't see him.
But he is no longer the kind of crying and making a fuss child, and he understands that all good things must come to an end.
Anyway, no matter who leaves the young lady, he will always be by her side.
A group of people sat together, drank and talked happily, talking about all the interesting things that happened in the past year, and they laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.
Since Koi would leave tomorrow morning, they didn't chat too late. After the show, Qitao and Koi chatted for a while before parting ways.
……
"My dear, I'm leaving." Jinli stood in front of the door. In a trance, Qi Ning'an remembered that when he first sent him away from home, he didn't seem to be that tall yet.
Now it is almost taller than me, but it was not even up to my shoulder a year ago. It really shows that children grow up fast.
"Eat when you should, drink when you should. Anyway, the money I give you is not given for free. You will have to come back and pay it back to me in the future. Don't have any psychological burden. You are in the period of growing up." Qi Ning'an explained.
Jinli felt his eyes getting hot. He was a grown-up boy now, so who would cry when leaving home? So he hurriedly agreed and got into the carriage.
Qi Ning'an didn't feel anything. After all, she was just going to school, not that she would not come back. Besides, she had too many things to do, so even if she was reluctant, it would only be for a while.
……
Four days later, thin sunlight shone into the house and Qi Ning'an got up early again.
Yesterday, Gu Qingyun gave many instructions and warnings, saying that he would come to propose marriage today. He was afraid that Qi Ning'an would not agree or that some unexpected situation would arise, so he came more than ten times a day.
After explaining that, explain this.
Lian Jinxi said, "Mr. Gu, if you continue like this, not only will I know that you are going to propose to the young lady tomorrow, I am afraid everyone will know."
Only then did Gu Qingyun leave the restaurant with a red face.
However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he had been extremely nervous recently.
Qi Ning'an didn't tell her father and brother. There was no other reason. She just felt that if she told them, it would seem like she was too anxious. It would be better to let Gu Qingyun come directly.
"Miss, why are you and Jinxi acting so strange this morning?"
Jin Bao stood at the door holding the small cakes that had just been made in the kitchen that morning. Qi Ning'an didn't say anything and Jin Xi was stunned for a long time.
Jin Bao, however, didn't take it to heart. He took the pastries and walked over to Qi Ning'an.
She always knew that the young lady definitely didn't want to pay attention to her, but the young lady was in a bad mood when she woke up. Normally, she would not have time to pay attention to her unless she sat there for half an hour.
Qi Ningan, on the other hand, was stunned as soon as he opened the lid of the pastry.
I saw a few cakes neatly placed on the jade-colored plate. They were a bright pink color all over, with five delicate petals that were finely carved in shape. The tiny yellow stamen in the middle made them look even more delicate.
Peach Blossom Pastry.
Seeing that his young lady was stunned, Jin Xi also looked down and said, "Oh, young lady, have you told the master about this? This... isn't this peach blossom pastry?"
In the Dayan Dynasty, peach blossom pastry was almost a pastry designed for engagement, and every household would serve this pastry at engagement banquets.
If one has already exchanged invitations with other families and someone comes to pick them up, a dish of peach blossom cake will be made to tell the newcomer that his daughter is already engaged. The peach blossom cake is meant to bring joy to the newcomer.
Therefore, no one usually makes peach blossom pastries, and even if they make peach-flavored pastries, they will not be made into the shape of peach blossom pastries.
"I...I didn't say anything."
Qi Ning'an was stunned, and then he felt a long-lost shyness and helplessness. Could it be that his father already knew about it?
Jin Xi and Qi Ning'an looked at each other and said, "Miss, don't panic. Even if there is something, it doesn't matter. Just wash and dress up properly and go out to meet the guests."
Qi Ning'an thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. If he panicked, he would seem petty.
Jin Xi helped Qi Ning'an comb her hair carefully, and she felt a little reluctant to do so.
The young lady is still unmarried, so naturally she can style her hair in the way other young ladies like to style their hair. But if she gets married, she will have to change her style of dressing up.
However, since the young lady doesn't like to dress up and Mr. Gu dotes on her so much, perhaps she doesn't have to be so conservative in the future.
After the two of them finished washing up, Jin Bao had already cleaned the desk. Qi Ning'an would occasionally look at a sketchbook at the desk, and occasionally practice calligraphy.
Although these words were brought to her by her original body, she had never written beautiful words in her previous life. Now that she can write such beautiful words in this life, she will naturally write them out occasionally to appreciate them.
The two of them then went to the front yard, and on the way they met Nanny Ren who was in a hurry. This Nanny was Qi Ningliang's wet nurse and was the closest to Qi Ningliang.
"Oh, Miss, we finally found you." Nanny Ren pulled Qi Ning'an forward.
Qi Ning'an was startled, "Mammy, what happened? Why are you so anxious?"
"The young master was going to propose marriage today, but Master Gu also came and said he wanted to propose marriage to you, so everything went haywire."
Nanny Ren was so anxious that she was breathing heavily. She was originally worried about what to do if the two little ancestors in the family would never get married. Now, one success has become two. In the Anyong Marquis' Mansion, the Marquis is the only elder. How could he have so much energy and spirit? She would be too busy to do anything.
Seeing that the two of them had chosen a good time to meet each other, Nanny Ren could only sigh that it was such a coincidence.
