Rise of Nongmen

After receiving the news, Ye Chen immediately rushed to Shanyuguan, leaving the messenger far behind.

Liu Yan really deserves to be called a famous horse, and ordinary war horses can't stand shoulder to shoulder with him at all.

As if sensing Ye Chen's thoughts, Liuyan let out a long hiss, and his speed increased a bit.

Ye Chen was lying on the horseback, enjoying the feeling of the wind and lightning, and his mood was very clear. He didn't know whether it was the beautiful scenery along the way, or his wish was about to be fulfilled.

Ye Chen didn't have an access token. After arriving at Shanyuguan, he waited outside the gate for a while before he was able to enter.

"Mr. Ye, please." Mo Yan led the way with a respectful attitude.

"Military advisor? It's already decided?" Ye Chen looked sideways at the ink inkstone.This person has a kind face, and he has met Xiao Jinyan more than once. It seems that he is a servant by his side. He can follow him into the barracks all the time. He must be his confidant. Well, he should be well remembered, so as not to meet him and treat him as an ordinary person. People were sent away.

"Yes, Junshi Ye, it was decided a few days ago." Mo Yan didn't dare to stare at people like Ye Chen did, he watched secretly from the corner of his eye.

Others only know that there is a person like Ye Chen, but they don't know who it is. Mo Yan, as Xiao Jinyan's personal companion, is not a secret, so naturally he will not deliberately hide it from him. The person in front of him is their future uncle.To tell the truth, he is also worthless for his young master in his heart, but what can be done, the master has nothing to do with the other party, and they dare not disobey the young master's wishes, and they only dare to feel angry in their hearts, but dare not show it on the surface.

But don't think about other things, just look at the outside and inside, Ye Junshi is also a good match for his son, but the world is difficult to have both, who can only pay attention to the person himself, and not care about things at all?

Mo Yan asked himself, he couldn't do it himself.

In many cases, family background is more important than others. I hope Junshi Ye can be more confident and use the help of the Qing'an Hou Mansion to get promoted step by step, otherwise my son will be ridiculed by other noble families for a long time.

Shanyuguan is a purely military place, there are no family members of officers and soldiers, and no other messy people come and go.

Ye Chen felt that the tents in front of him were familiar. When he looked around, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it. This was the temporary residence where he had stayed for a long time, but the scenery changed significantly under the effect of Zhuanyuan Formation. , and the house had undergone some renovations, so he couldn't recognize it at a glance.

Hearing movement outside, before Mo Yan could knock on the door, Xiao Jinyan pushed the door out, and locked eyes on Ye Chen: "Are you here?"

Ye Chen followed the prestige, saw that it was Xiao Jinyan, and smiled at him: "Yeah."

"Come in." Xiao Jinyan turned and went back to the room without saying a word.

Ye Chen followed up.

Mo Yan and a group of personal guards stood outside the door, and they were very winking, and they all stood where they couldn't hear the noise in the house.

After entering the door, Ye Chen didn't know what politeness was at all. Without waiting for Xiao Jinyan to greet him, he found a place to sit down and got straight to the point: "When will we get married?"

"Let's put this question aside first." Xiao Jinyan calmly took her seat and looked directly at Ye Chen, "I can marry you, but my status does not allow it. No Marquis will marry the eldest son out."

Ye Chen put away his smile: "Then what do you mean?" He didn't think the other party wanted to go back on his word, and he must ask for something to pave the way for such a passage.

As expected, after a short pause, Xiao Jinyan continued: "You can't marry outside, but I can marry you."

"Are you sure?" Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, staring at the other party for a while.

Xiao Jinyan was a little uncomfortable: "If you want to, it's naturally the best."

"It seems that this is not your ultimate goal." Ye Chen found it interesting, but Xiao Jinyan also had self-knowledge. He knew that he would only marry, but could not.Since both parties want to marry or not, he wants to see what Xiao Jinyan can come up with to get the best of both worlds.

"Marry together, marry each other, truly marry the two surnames, and retain all the rights of both parties." Xiao Jinyan appeared calm, but in fact he was not without anxiety. The chips are in the hands of the other party, and the other party has the final say on how to play the cards. But as long as there is a little hope, he will not give up.

"Is there still this way of getting married? Tell me in detail." Ye Chen became interested.He has been in Dayue Dynasty for almost two years, and he has never heard of this method of getting married. It is estimated that it is only circulated in the upper class, and the chances of it appearing are very rare, otherwise he would not have even heard of it.

Xiao Jinyan briefly introduced the rules, and Ye Chen listened attentively, memorizing every word in his heart, thinking about the pros and cons of this method.

Marriage together, mostly occurs among high-ranking families, the real family is right, the two parties to the marriage are each other's husband and wife, and each can marry a concubine to reproduce.

Ye Chen lowered his face, and said bluntly: "I won't let you touch anyone except me, and you will die."

A faint sense of disappointment flashed in Xiao Jinyan's heart, but he didn't really care about it. Maybe his father and grandmother proposed to marry him, and it might be a fluke, but he didn't.

Any man, if conditions permit, will not let the other party build another gentle town, and Xiao Jinyan can't do that even if he asks himself.Even if he and Ye Chen are not in love with each other, if they really want to marry each other, he would not be happy to let him watch each other flirt, it would be an insult to him.If he really wants to live like this for the rest of his life, then he will only have a skin left, no different from a living dead, as long as Ye Chen is not just playing for fun, the other party will not do this, Xiao Jinyan still has confidence in this.

"You're overthinking it. I just mentioned the rules of getting married together. I don't mean it myself." Xiao Jinyan said slowly without showing any embarrassment.

Ye Chen smiled suddenly: "Tell me your conditions."

"I want to keep my status as a Marquis." Xiao Jinyan sat upright.

"this one?"

"this one."

"It's okay to marry."

"Who are you lying to?" Xiao Jinyan was displeased.

"Okay, I know what you mean." Ye Chen put away his joking demeanor.

Married daughter, splashed water, this is not a joke. Once married, she is a member of her husband's family. Although her status has not changed, she is still the daughter of her parents. The difference is like a gap, which is difficult to bridge, unless they are reconciled or divorced and returned to their natal family, it also depends on the attitude of the father and brother.

Xiao Jinyan obviously didn't want this, he wanted to live in the Qing'an Hou Mansion as the master, and getting married would be a good solution.

Ye Chen didn't want to humiliate Xiao Jinyan, so he could agree to this, but it would be too cheap for the other party, so after a little thought, he proposed a compromise: "We can marry each other, but there are three chapters in the contract. No, the other thing is, you have to focus on me. Don’t get excited, I don’t want you to listen to me, it’s too boring. What I mean is, you have to focus your life on my side like a married person. Of course, you don’t have to put The posture is lowered to the wife's position, just leaning, leaning, don't frown, do you understand?"

"What's the difference between that and getting married?" Xiao Jinyan wanted to struggle to the death.

"The difference is big. If you marry me, then you are my wife. I am willing to give you various powers and preferential treatments, so you will not suffer any difficulties. If I am unhappy, I will say something ugly and get bored. Your The situation can be imagined."

"Don't doubt it. Since I can marry you, I can do it too. Don't expect the Qing'an Hou Mansion to protect you. You won't be able to." Ye Chen said this bluntly, without mercy.

Sweat dripped from Xiao Jinyan's forehead. He could feel that Ye Chen really put his heart into him. Even if the way was criticized, the sincerity would not be diminished. But he had never seen Ye Chen so ruthless. , This reminded him of the scene where Ye Chen in Jinmin County taught the local hooligans a lesson, crazy and bloodthirsty.

Thinking that one day in the future, he might be abandoned by this person like a shoe, and no one would be allowed to take his lead, Xiao Jinyan's heart shuddered.

This has nothing to do with feelings, it's just Xiao Jinyan's perception of Ye Chen's cruelty.Although that was just the worst situation and the probability of it happening was not high, he still remembered this feeling.

Slowing down, Xiao Jinyan quickly realized that the meaning of Ye Chen's words was obvious. He agreed and married because the other party was willing, and it was a sign of his importance. It also gave him enough respect, even if they parted ways in the future, maybe he could get together So scattered.Of course, the responsibility is not on him, but if Xiao Jinyan pushes forward, I'm afraid he won't even think about marrying her.

That's all, that's all, a person who knows the current affairs is a hero, and it's a surprise to get this result. If Xiao Jinyan wants to force more, it's really a toast instead of fine wine, asking for trouble.

"Okay." Xiao Jinyan responded with difficulty, and the word "good" was extremely important at this moment.

"Is that right?" Ye Chen took out a few blank marriage certificates from his bosom that only had Mr. Bai's fingerprints on them. Afraid of making mistakes while transcribing, he prepared a few extra copies, "Write all the agreements just now." On the above, you have a good literary talent, and you can write the template."

Xiao Jinyan was a little dumbfounded, and unconsciously, the trace of depression in her heart was swept away.After a little tidying up, he picked up a book, turned to a blank page and began to write quickly.

Ye Chen didn't show the slightest shyness, and felt uncomfortable looking at it backwards, so he immediately left his seat and stood behind Xiao Jinyan to watch him write every word.

Xiao Jinyan felt a little awkward, thinking that his face had been touched by him, and there would be more intimate contact in the future. It was nothing to watch him write, so he graciously let Ye Chen watch.

If he knew Xiao Jinyan's inner thoughts, Ye Chen would definitely laugh three times. Sure enough, if you get used to it, you will get used to it.

Xiao Jinyan obviously practiced his handwriting hard, and was limited by the marriage letter. He wrote horizontal and vertical regular script, but it was hidden inside, and he wrote his own style.

On this point, Ye Chen is obviously far behind Xiao Jinyan.

One person writes quietly, while the other enjoys the words and the scenery. Inadvertently, time slips away from the fingertips.

After writing the last word, Xiao Jinyan put down the pen, blew on the paper, and handed it to Ye Chen: "Look at it, if you can, just write it as it is, and if you are not satisfied, I will change it."

Ye Chen was slightly startled: "So easy to talk?"

Xiao Jinyan immediately drooped the corners of her mouth.

Well, it's annoying again.

Ye Chen also felt that something was wrong with him. Every time he met Xiao Jinyan, he always wanted to tease him. He didn't know whether this new hobby was good or bad, but he didn't think about changing it, just let it be.

After taking the booklet, Ye Chen read it again, making sure there was no problem, then sat back in his original position and began to transcribe, and then changed to Xiao Jinyan.

The two parties seemed to have thought of something. Like Ye Chen, Xiao Jinyan had prepared a blank marriage certificate in advance, only the content and the signatures of the two parties were missing.

It's really strange how this marriage ended. It was always the words of the matchmaker at the behest of the parents. I have never heard of a case written by the marriage partner himself. Ye Chen and Xiao Jinyan are considered to be the first.

Putting away Xiao Jinyan's share, Ye Chen thought for a while and said, "Do you want to combine horoscopes? My opinion is that it's best not to."

"What, is there a problem?" Xiao Jinyan was puzzled.

"It's fine in the past, but it's hard to say in the future." Ye Chen explained, "Maybe someone will use the horoscope to harm others."

"Yao Dao?" Xiao Jinyan thought for a long time before pulling out such a word from the corner of memory.

"Maybe."

"Okay, then we don't agree." Xiao Jinyan readily agreed, anyway, the result won't change if they agree or not, so it doesn't matter if they don't agree.

"Are you going to go back to Xijing to do the engagement, or are you here?"

"Go to Fucheng."

"Okay, when is your date here?"

"Three days after going abroad for filial piety."

"In such a hurry?" Ye Chen frowned slightly, "The Yin Qi spread seriously?"

"Well, there is nothing wrong with Shanyuguan. There are already many places in the surrounding mountains where there is no vegetation and no wild animals."

"Okay, then it's settled, you come here first, and go to mine in seven days." Ye Chen was eager for this, so naturally he would not object.

"Okay." Xiao Jinyan picked up a brocade box on the table and handed it to Ye Chen, "In it are the entry and exit tokens of the Zhenbei Army's various checkpoints, the military division's identity card, and my token, you put it away."

Ye Chen did as he said. He didn't have anything available for the time being, but he didn't feel embarrassed because of it, and said directly: "I'll make it up for you next time."

Xiao Jinyan was noncommittal about this, he just wanted to do his own thing, and he really didn't have high demands on Ye Chen.

After finishing their official business, the two fell into speechless silence, and the atmosphere was very awkward.

Xiao Jinyan obviously hasn't adapted to the change of status, it's impossible for him to take the initiative. Ye Chen froze thinking about the future of the two of them.

When Ye Chen came back to his senses and realized this, he felt a little discouraged. It seems that he still has to work hard. Otherwise, besides talking about business, the rest of the time is so boring. , It should work, go, go to the school grounds, let me see your latest results."

Xiao Jinyan's eyes lit up: "Are you sure?"

"What do you think?" Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, thinking that it would be too early to win against him. You must know that Xiao Jinyan is making leaps and bounds, and he is not bad. With Lucky Mall in hand, how could he easily lose to the opponent.

Now is not the time for free activities, most of the school grounds are occupied by officers and soldiers, Xiao Jinyan directly took Ye Chen to the exclusive small school ground of Qing'an Hou for a competition.

It is very quiet here, no one is allowed to enter without permission, and the Marquis of Qing'an is not here, so this place has become Xiao Jinyan's private domain.

Seeing Xiao Jinyan carrying a red-tasseled gun on stage, Ye Chen was a little surprised: "You also use a gun?"

"Swords are not suitable in the army."

In other words, Xiao Jinyan's most used weapon is a sword rather than a gun.

Ye Chen doesn't insist on this, he won't feel that the victory is unwarranted just because Xiao Jinyan retreats and asks for a gun to play next.Once you meet, it will be a battle of life and death, who cares whether you are ready or not, of course, except for the martial arts competition.

The spear is hard and the gun is soft, which makes the gun more skillful. If it is not used well, it may even hurt yourself.

Ye Chen's spear skills were mostly brought from the end of the world. The supernatural powers can disappear, but the feeling of using a gun has already penetrated into the bone marrow. It won't be because of a different body that even the gun can't be used.

There was an experience once, and marksmanship was picked up very quickly. Two years was enough for Ye Chen to integrate what he had learned before and re-display it.

But one thing needs to be explained, Ye Chen's marksmanship is mostly used for killing, and is rarely used to compete with others. His moves are fast, ruthless and accurate, without any fancy features. They are taking two completely different paths from Xiao Jinyan.

One move is deadly, weird and unpredictable, and the other is open and closed, dignified and upright.

Can't say which is better, as long as it fits.

As soon as Ye Chen moved, Xiao Jinyan put away the little luck in his heart, and the other party also cultivated vigorously, but it seemed that something was wrong, Ye Chen's gun had a sinister air in it, it didn't seem to be caused by Ye Chen himself , it seems to give people the feeling of the yin and flaming claws outside the Shanyu Pass.

Now is not the time to be distracted, Xiao Jinyan didn't think too much, and raised his gun to meet him.

Even if it's just a martial arts competition, the opponent is still his fiancé, Ye Chen will not change the fighting habits he has developed over the years, and moves towards the opponent's vitals, attacking him will save him.

Xiao Jinyan wasn't used to it for a while, so he was at a loss when dealing with it, and before he got familiar with it, the battle was over, and the red-tasseled spear in his hand was directly picked up by Ye Chen.

The battle lasted extremely short, and Xiao Jinyan didn't expect him to lose so quickly. Looking at his empty hands, he was a little dazed. When he came back to his senses, it was rare for him to take the initiative to ask about the strangeness in the battle: "What's the matter with your fighting spirit?"

"Oh, this, it doesn't matter if you get rid of the aftereffects left by driving too much Yin Qi for others, it will disappear by itself after staying in the Zhuanyuan Formation for a while." Ye Chen didn't take this matter to heart.

I don't know what happened to the way the ability works. It is effective for all kinds of breaths in this world, but it doesn't reject anyone who comes, and the breath that is harmful to the body is also accepted. Obviously, it can't be used more often, although it needs to be passed every time. Just disperse the Yin Qi directly from the body, and it will still be affected in the end.

"In the future, don't purify people casually." After pondering for a long time, Xiao Jinyan reminded.

"Okay." Ye Chen agreed very readily, returned the seized red-tasseled gun to Xiao Jinyan, and touched it casually.

"..." A black line popped out of Xiao Jinyan's forehead.You can't treat this person too well, give him a little good face, and he will start to shine immediately.

In fact, Ye Chen originally planned to take the other party back to the dormitory, but considering Xiao Jinyan's feelings, he didn't do that.Whoever said that the outside is the big school field, he doesn't like to perform in full view.In other words, when no one was around, he really wanted to do it!

If Xiao Jinyan knew what Ye Chen was thinking, he would probably go up with a gun and stab him right through.

"When will you be back?" After arriving at the other office, Xiao Jinyan suddenly asked as if thinking of something.

"You don't want to see me so much?" Ye Chen turned his head and stared at Xiao Jinyan with piercing eyes.

"..." Xiao Jinyan didn't reply, she was acquiescing to Ye Chen's statement.

"Oh, my heart hurts so much. I'm about to become a family, but you actually drove me away." Ye Chen made a gesture of Xizi holding his heart, which was against harmony no matter how you looked at it.

The corners of Xiao Jinyan's eyes twitched, he turned his eyes away and couldn't bear to look: "Okay, stop making trouble."

After the teasing was over, Ye Chen immediately accepted it: "In a couple of days, I'll just get to know the situation here."

"Follow me." Xiao Jinyan raised her foot and went out.

"Where are you going?" Ye Chen followed slowly.

"Where you sleep at night."

Ye Chen immediately stopped and turned around, Dama Jindao sat on his "exclusive chair".

Xiao Jinyan: "..."

"I'll sleep with you tonight." Ye Chen couldn't hide the smile on his face when he thought of sharing the same bed.

"What nasty things are you thinking about?" Xiao Jinyan's face darkened when she saw the other party's turbulent face, and she refused firmly, "No."

"Why not?" Ye Chen smiled slightly, and began to make sense of the facts, "We lack communication, so we just took advantage of this rare opportunity to communicate for a while, which will benefit the future harmony of husband and wife, don't you think?"

"It's against the rules." Xiao Jinyan insisted.

Ye Chen raised his eyes and looked Xiao Jinyan from head to toe: "I really didn't see that you are such a well-behaved person, I think you are looking for an excuse to avoid me?"

Xiao Jinyan remained silent.It’s good to think about some things in your heart, and it’s annoying to say it out, but since Ye Chen, a bastard, has been getting along with him in private, he hasn’t had a positive experience in getting along with him, but this matter can’t be done, it doesn’t matter if it’s normal, just go to sleep and say Maybe it will become a good talk, and the relationship between the two is so close now, so it is necessary to avoid suspicion.

In this marriage, Xiao Jinyan does not have an advantage, so he doesn't need to care about it himself, but he has to consider for the Qing'an Houfu, so he cannot be underestimated.

Ye Chen has been paying attention to Xiao Jinyan's expression, making sure that the other party's attitude is firm and unchangeable. If he persists, he may become stiff, and it may leave a psychological shadow on Xiao Jinyan.

This is not what Ye Chen wanted, so he stood up regretfully, shrugged and said, "Let's go."

Xiao Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief, her slightly clenched hands naturally dropped to her sides, and strode forward, as if she was afraid that Ye Chen would regret it.

Looking at the back of the other party running away, Ye Chen smiled.This person has too much self-esteem, he has to be more careful in the future, he is marrying a wife, not looking for an obedient servant, and he never thought of deliberately humiliating the other party.It's a pity that what is normal in his eyes is a matter of reputation in the eyes of the other party, and the generation gap is a bit serious.

Many generals lived here. When they saw Xiao Jinyan walking with Ye Chen, they stepped forward to say hello. Someone who was well-informed and knew the relationship between the two kept looking back and forth between the two: "Ziqing, Ding Yet?"

Xiao Jinyan had no choice but to stop, nodding her head as an answer.

"When?"

"After more than a month, please invite Uncle Yin to the banquet."

"Okay, okay, you young couple go get busy, I, an old guy, won't be annoying anymore." Shi Yin smiled and watched the two leave, then turned around and pulled his face down.Alas, it was all because of their incompetence, otherwise there would be no need for Ziqing to be like this, and he would have to discuss with "Master Ye" later, telling him to take advantage of others' danger and make him so bold.

Thinking so angrily, Shi Yin left quickly, and went to discuss with his colleagues how to deal with Ye Chen.

Silent all night.

After training early the next day, Xiao Jinyan came over and took Ye Chen to check the situation. First, Shanyu Pass. Of course, Ye Chen was not qualified to enter some important military places. After a circle, the two went straight to the outside of the pass.

The effect of the transformation array is remarkable. Since it started to operate, the Yin Qi around the array has continuously gathered towards the array, and transformed into vitality to nourish all things after the array transformation.

Later, due to the difference in concentration, the vitality kept escaping towards the outside of the formation, collided with the Yin Qi, and annihilated each other. Under the double effect, the Yin Qi was very thin for a few miles outside the Zhuanyuan Formation, but other than that, it could not be taken care of. The source of Yin Qi is located just outside the influence of the Zhuan Yuan Array.

Xiao Jinyan glanced at Ye Chen indifferently, presumably this was done on purpose, otherwise the other party would lose one bargaining chip.

Ye Chen looked back at the past with a smile, the people around him were calculated by him, how could he lose the chain in this kind of thing, he would only give preferential treatment to a beauty when he fell into his arms, and he was not interested in other people's family at all.

It's impossible for him to cause trouble because of his beauty. The apocalypse is extremely cruel, but anyone with obvious weaknesses will not live long.

Ye Chen didn't rush in, instead, he walked around the area where the yin energy was thin, and then turned back to the barracks.

This place is greatly affected by Yin Qi, and it is early spring now, with nothing but withered yellow everywhere, and no signs of turning green, not to mention the sound of insects and birds, it looks like a dead place.

If it is just to dispel the Yin Qi and seal the source of the Yin Qi, it will take a long time for these places to recover.There is no need to turn the yuan array, and when the yin qi dissipates, the vitality will nourish this area. How destructive the yin qi is, the strength of the vitality will be strong, and it will be a few months at least, and a year or so at most. Restore vitality, and then become a spiritual land.

Seeing how kind he was to his wife, Ye Chen was almost moved by him.He was never a person who gave silently without expecting anything in return, so he immediately explained the role he played in it to Xiao Jinyan, in exchange for a reward that the other party took the initiative to kiss his forehead.

Xiao Jinyan was stiff all over, with mixed emotions in her heart.

However, Ye Chen enjoyed watching it. The taste of conquering the strong is so wonderful that he is almost addicted to it. Once the bad taste comes up, if he is not paying attention, he will forget the era the opponent is in.Fortunately, Xiao Jinyan is not a person who just swallows his anger. If he really wants to touch his bottom line, he will sternly refuse.

This saved Ye Chen a lot of trouble, otherwise, with his current state of mind, he didn't know what the situation would be like.His eyesight is really sharp, and he finds such a suitable person as soon as he looks for it. The most important thing is that the other party can withstand his tossing and has its own brakes, so there is no need to worry about someone who is not careful and will play badly.

Ye Chen is in a very good mood at the moment. He is actually not used to being touched by others, especially if the other party takes the initiative. If he approaches from behind, he may be injured by his instinctive reaction. He is less wary of Xiao Jinyan, but it still exists. , but the situation is different now, the other party's initiative is under his request, the instinct is put away, and only enjoyment is left.

Ye Chen was happy, and he became extra generous: "Jinyan, plant more plants and trees in Zhuanyuan Formation. The ones that can be eaten are the best. Long-term consumption is of great benefit to people. Well, livestock are also fine. By the way, War horses, strong people are not enough, war horses have to keep up, if possible, catch some tiger cubs and leopard cubs, maybe they can train beast cavalry, and at worst they can be used as helpers to assist in the battle."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinyan's body, which was still very stiff, gradually softened, and at the end of hearing it, a lot of unwillingness dissipated in her heart.He is not the kind of person who can't afford to lose. Now that the matter has come to this point, if he resists like this again, it will be himself who suffers.

Thinking of the upcoming engagement banquet, Xiao Jinyan's heart trembled.

Dayue court can't help men and women, and there are related laws to protect the rights and interests of both parties. Although Xiao Jinyan has not experienced it personally, he has never eaten pork and seen pigs run, so he is not ignorant of the matter between men.

Xiao Jinyan didn't think he could do anything to Ye Chen, it was naturally what he was done to by the other party. With his current state, it is likely that he would "splash blood on the spot" in eight to nine out of ten times.

He is not afraid of being injured on the battlefield, but it is like this in the bed, but it makes Xiao Jinyan terrified from the bottom of his heart.

Xiao Jinyan wanted to avoid it, saying that good things can only be achieved after getting married.He can indeed do this, but the outcome of waiting for him may not be wonderful. He neither wants to let the yin qi rage around Shanyuguan, nor does he want to advance the wedding date, so this payment is necessary, even though it is not in line with etiquette. But it is the most favorable way to deal with him at present.

Back at the residence, the two began to discuss the matter of engagement, and finally decided that the engagement gift should be given to each other. Speaking of this, it is inevitable to talk about the betrothal gift and dowry.

The engagement ceremony is easy to talk about, as long as everyone prepares it, the dowry gift can also be done according to this, but the two had a dispute over the dowry.

Agreeing and marrying is already Ye Chen's limit. He doesn't want to pay any dowry. It's not about money. What Ye Chen cares about is the meaning of the dowry itself. He never thought about "marrying" to the Qing'an Hou Mansion.

Xiao Jinyan didn't pay much attention to this point. What he insisted on was that either neither of them would go out, or if they did, each of them should prepare a copy.

Ye Chen disagreed with this again, he respected Xiao Jinyan, it was true, and he didn't want to embarrass him, but it was not to deceive him, but some things must be set now, so as not to argue about it in the future.

After some quarreling, the two finally reached an agreement, Ye Chen would not pay the dowry, and Xiao Jinyan would show some interest.

Although it was just a lift, it was extremely unfavorable to Xiao Jinyan. Didn't he turn pale before the negotiation was over?

Ye Chen tactfully raised his leg and left, leaving room for Xiao Jinyan to be quiet.

After waiting for them to leave for a while, Xiao Jinyan smiled self-deprecatingly.Ye Chen seemed to be accommodating to him in some aspects, but he was actually very principled, but whenever he touched these things, he would not give in even one step, even if the matter broke down because of it, he would not hesitate.

In fact, Xiao Jinyan also knows that it is good for the other party to retreat to this step, at least he is in a much better situation than when he was married.

No matter what, with Ye Chen's temperament, being able to agree and marry, despite the many restrictions, is enough to show that he is valued by him, and Xiao Jinyan has to be grateful even if he doesn't want to.

The marriage ceremony of the Dayue Dynasty is very complicated, and it will take a year or so to complete the whole set.

Ye Chen and Xiao Jinyan's situation is special, even if it is so streamlined and streamlined, more than a month is also very tense for them.

The most terrible thing is that it is now during the national mourning period, and all the happy faces are put away. In fact, Xiao Jinyan only has three days to prepare.During this period, he must prepare the auspicious clothes for engagement. Although the wedding clothes don't need to be as grand, they can't be too different, at least they can't be replaced by ordinary clothes.

Xiao Jinyan didn't want to be talked about, so they could only prepare non-taboo items for more than a month, and there were very few non-taboo things in marriage, even if it was just a small order, they could not prepare much during this period.

Xiao Jinyan himself didn't really care about it, but his family background was there, it was too shabby and it might make others think of the Qing'an Hou Mansion, which was obviously not what he wanted to see.Therefore, no matter what Xiao Jinyan thought, he had to take it seriously. The engagement banquet didn't need to be grand, but at least it had to be passable.

Ye Chen is much more casual here, Jifu, buy it directly after Buzhuang Embroidery and other related shops are happy again, change it if it doesn’t fit, and handle other things in the same way, you see, how simple things are!

The only trouble was that Xiao Ding was too hasty, and Ye Chen was caught and nagged by Mrs. Bai for a long time. Fortunately, he knew the trick and avoided it in time after hearing it once. Qiu and others couldn't help laughing , Thinking of the current situation, he choked back again.

For this reason, the gate of the small courtyard in Osmanthus Lane was closed every day, so as not to be bumped into by others and cause trouble.

Even so, Bai and the others took care of the few remaining things, leaving Ye Chen with nothing to do and relaxed, so he had to take advantage of the time to prepare the nutrient solution that would relieve the dormant state of the dew grass seeds.

It's not difficult. Ye Chen took this into consideration when he bought it. The materials needed for the nutrient solution are readily available, so he only needs to buy everything.

It's just that the materials are scattered and distributed in various shops. For this reason, Ye Chen walked all the streets in Jinmin County to buy everything, and spent a lot of money on hand.

Sure enough, after this revision of Lucky Mall, none of the products produced are mass-market products, and even the most common dew grass will cost a lot of money if you want to grow it well.It cost one yuan jade to buy the seeds, which is equivalent to about 1000 taels of silver, and it would cost a few hundred taels to make a follow-up nutrient solution. Thanks to the share of the flame wine, otherwise Ye Chen would not be able to get so much money in a short time.

Thinking about it this way, Ye Chen would like to thank Xiao Jinyan. Without the distribution channel of the Qing'an Hou Mansion, he would be very nervous all the time, and it would even affect the follow-up. He couldn't buy the large land in the Northern Wilderness, and the farm was even more difficult. Don't think about it, it's not that you can't afford it, but that there are not so many people to do things.

Now is not a period of war, on the contrary, it is the time when the Dai Viet Dynasty is at its peak, the proportion of slaves has dropped to the lowest in recent decades, and the price of servants has risen sharply.The hundreds of people in the farm alone cost Ye Chen a thousand taels, not to mention farm tools, food and clothing, etc.

But Xiao Jinyan was not at a loss either, he got the big head of Yanjiu, and also got a piece of news that was crucial to him for free.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen frowned slightly.In the past, he just took it as a joke, but now that the two families are about to form an in-law relationship, isn't that Mrs. Hou who is stiff with Li Daitao going to be his mother-in-law?

This is unbearable!

Ye Chen was not a native of Da Viet Dynasty, no matter how badly he was assimilated by the general environment, the traces left by the decades of modern life are always branded on him, and some of them have even been engraved into the bone marrow, which cannot be removed at all.

For Xiao Jinyan's sake, he will respect the other party's family, but this is the limit, it has nothing to do with others, he won't care, let alone call her mother, he can't say that, let alone salute her , she can't bear it!

Ye Chen was sullen, thinking about how to deal with this matter.I don't know if Xiao Jinyan has solved it by hand, so I will ask him later, if the solution is over, he doesn't have to worry about it.

After preparing the nutrient solution, Ye Chen started to buy supplies. Of course, they were not for engagement purposes. Those were given to the Bai family to buy them. What he bought were supplies to take to the farm. Years ago, he was tired by the weather and could not improve Zhuang Ding. Life, make up for it this time.

During the busy period, Lucky Mall opened again.

This time Ye Chen could no longer just stare at each product with greedy eyes. Although buying Zhuan Yuan Zhen cost most of his family's wealth, the base was so large. Even with such a large expenditure, there was still a lot of Yuan Yu left.

What surprised Ye Chen even more was that Lucky Mall was promoted, jumping from beginner to intermediate in one fell swoop.

Ye Chen couldn't help sighing, as expected, you get what you pay for, and he didn't buy Zhuan Yuan Zhen for nothing!

The primary Lucky Mall only provides six items each time, and the duration is one day. After upgrading to the intermediate level, the number of items is doubled, and the duration is the same, changing from one day to two days.

Although the number doubled, there were only twelve pitiful types, and Ye Chen scanned them all at a glance.

This was the last time the Lucky Mall was opened before getting engaged, and Ye Chen decided to buy all the ones that could be used.

What attracted Ye Chen's attention the most was undoubtedly the blank sword floating in the Lucky Mall. It didn't shine like a sword, it wasn't dazzling, and it wasn't even shaped. Among martial arts, the most desired talisman for sword repairers.

Thinking of Xiao Jinyan's favorite sword, Ye Chen bought it without hesitation, but he couldn't help but feel heartache after buying it.

Looking at the sword blank in his hand that he bought at a huge price, Ye Chen sighed that his wife couldn't afford it.

Perhaps because of the happy event, Ye Chen was very lucky this time. Not only did he get the finale engagement gift for Xiao Jinyan, but he even got a self-defense weapon—the trigger-type amulet, the real one, not from Those inferior products in the hands of outsiders can be used for a total of three times, which can block any fatal attack at the current level.

Other than that, everything else was lackluster, so Ye Chen didn't buy it.Yuanyu is not easy to get, opportunities like those outside Shanyuguan are rare, good steel needs to be used on the blade, and Ye Chen doesn't plan to buy dispensable items.

After the big change, the Lucky Mall has been opened more than a dozen times, but unfortunately, there is no such thing as a secret skill, and even if there is, Ye Chen is not sure whether to buy it or not. You must first have items that test the attributes of the qualifications, otherwise you will buy the wrong one. The possibility is extremely high.

Unfortunately, Ye Chen didn't come across this thing either.

Thinking about it this way, it is a blessing that there is no exercise class, otherwise, if you buy it, you will probably not be able to use it, and if you don’t buy it, you are afraid of missing it, which is too frustrating.
