"Me?!" Bai Zhantang was stunned, then waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no."

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

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

"Yes, haven't you all already..." the scholar said in confusion.

Everyone knew clearly about the relationship between Lao Bai and the shopkeeper. But now that they saw him saying this, they were naturally confused.

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

Hearing what he said, Bai Zhantang suddenly felt like a confidant.

"Zhantang~" Seeing Bai Zhantang's reaction, Tong Xiangyu immediately understood, and she couldn't help but feel more love in her heart.

"Old Bai, you are indeed very manly to think so." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "But have you ever thought about the shopkeeper's feelings? Will she fall in love with and marry someone else besides you? The shopkeeper's

, you say it yourself.”

Guo Furong and Lu Xiucai both looked at Tong Xiangyu.

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

"Lao Bai, you see, the shopkeeper only has you in his heart." Xiang Nan advised, "Let's assume that if you are safe for the rest of your life and are not arrested at all, then if you don't marry the shopkeeper, right?

it is a pity?

To put it bluntly, even if you are caught one day, your crime will not implicate the nine clans. You and the shopkeeper will get married as soon as possible, and then you will have a boy and a girl.

Don't say it's for yourself, even if it's for the shopkeeper, it won't save her from having to wait for you all her life. Do you think I'm right?"

"Yes, it makes sense. Old Bai, if you want to die, you will die for tens of millions of years. When you walk in the world, you should be afraid of wolves before and tigers behind." Guo Furong nodded and said, "Just listen to me and it will be done."

"Yes, Zi once said that if you turn yourself in, you will shrink, even if there are thousands of people, I will go there." Lu Xiucai also nodded, "If you really love the shopkeeper, don't care about anything else."

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

"I..." Bai Zhantang still hesitated.

Seeing that everyone had said this, Tong Xiangyu was still hesitant, and his face turned gloomy again.

Xiang Nan observed the words and spoke quickly, "Okay, shopkeeper, don't push him. Marriage matters cannot be decided in one or two sentences."

In this case, why don't you just get engaged first instead of getting married? Three letters and six etiquettes to finalize the marriage. Give each other a name, so as to coax the old man away.

Otherwise, if the old man really takes the shopkeeper back to Hanzhong, what will you do, Old Bai? Continue to stay as a waiter? Or go out and make a living in the world?"

"Yes, Lao Bai, get engaged first, then get married." Guo Furong advised.

"Old Bai, what Big Mouth said makes sense." Lu Xiucai advised.

Bai Zhantang finally nodded after hearing what he said.

Seeing that he finally agreed, Tong Xiangyu couldn't help but burst into laughter.

…

Later, 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? Don't you 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." When Tong Boda heard this, she immediately said excitedly, "Let's do it this way. You can give me a price for the dowry. As long as I can afford it, one

I don’t even press down.”

During the Ming Dynasty, although widows could remarry, it was not a decent thing after all. Even for people like Tong Xiangyu, whose fiancé died before they officially got married, it was still difficult to find a good wife when they remarried.

Therefore, Bai Zhantang's willingness to marry Tong Xiangyu was really a worry for Tong Boda.

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

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

"Dad, stop crying, why are you crying?" Tong Xiangyu saw this and quickly advised him.

"Okay, without further ado, we will get engaged tomorrow." Tong Boda added, "Then we will go back to Hanzhong immediately, deliver the dowry, and then buy some houses and land. You two can decide for yourself whether to collect rent or open a shop.

That’s it.”

"Okay." Bai Zhantang and Tong Xiangyu nodded.

…

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

The original engagement ceremony in ancient times was quite complicated, consisting of six steps: sharing, asking for name, accepting invitation, accepting invitation, asking for date, and welcoming in person.

To accept is to come to the door to propose marriage; to ask is to ask for the name and the horoscope; to ask is to send some gifts to express the intention of getting engaged; to accept is to formally give the betrothal gift; to ask for the date is to finalize the date of the wedding; to welcome in person

That is to say, marrying a bride...

Because Bai Zhantang and Tong Xiangyu were already familiar with each other, and Tong Xiangyu was a widow after all, the whole process was simple. Just ask the yin and yang students to combine their horoscopes, and then Bai Zhantang made the betrothal gift and finalized the wedding date, which was considered to be a complete engagement.

Yin Yang was born in Qixia Town, and Xiang Nan invited him here.

Before arriving, Xiang Nan gave all instructions.

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

Xiang Nan knew that the reason why Bai Zhantang did not dare to marry Tong Xiangyu was mainly because he was afraid that if he was caught, she would be implicated. However, he would get the immunity gold medal soon.

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

Although Tong Boda was a bit dissatisfied with setting the wedding date too late, since it was calculated by Yin and Yang, that day was the most auspicious day and the most beneficial to future generations, so she had no choice but to nod in agreement.

After seeing her daughter getting engaged to Bai Zhantang, Tong Boda rode back to Hanzhong with satisfaction.

"It's strange that my son-in-law will send you a dowry when you turn around." He said with a smile, "If you have time, you can also bring Xiangyu to Hanzhong to play."

"Okay, I've remembered it. You old man, please walk slowly." Bai Zhantang nodded.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Tong Boda off.

"Big mouth, thank you for this incident." Bai Zhantang patted Xiang Nandao gratefully.

It wasn't Xiang Nan who persuaded him, but he still didn't have 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 close to each other before, they had not confirmed their identities after all, so it was always like there was a layer of separation between them.

Now that they are engaged and their identity has been established, that barrier has disappeared. The relationship has become completely clear, and the level of intimacy has immediately increased by an order of magnitude.
