This young insect catcher is as steady as an old dog

"The Dongying group is really getting more and more arrogant in Dashang. It seems that there is something to do. Forget it, as long as it doesn't affect Baishi Village, don't worry about it for the time being."

Taking a last look at the direction the two of the Dongying group left, Wang Qing returned to the old Wang's compound.

The old man of the Xia family was already drunk and sleeping soundly, and he seemed to have fallen asleep.

The old man Wang, the God of Dionysus, and the big needle bee and the little bee are singing against each other. It seems that the little bee is no match at all, while Wang Xiaobing and Xia Lingyun are playing games in the room.

Wang Qing shook his head slightly, hid himself in the night again, and began to practice himself.

...

Two days passed quickly, and on May 10, Wang Qing's engagement ceremony began.

Wang Qing originally thought that this ceremony was just for show, and the parents of the two parties met to discuss it, but found that both Wang Yaozu and Xia Jianguo were very serious.

In short, the engagement ceremony is very complicated.

The first was to worship the ancestors. In the early morning of that day, Old Man Wang took Wang Qing, brother and sister, and Xia Lingyun to the Wang family cemetery in the back mountain of Baishi Village.

In fact, it is not so much a cemetery as a tomb.

There are hundreds of large and small graves of the old Wang family here. Some of the graves in the distance have been leveled due to the passage of time, and there are some broken bluestones. They seem to be the tombstones of the ancestors of the Wang family. Unfortunately, they have been damaged. Know which ancestor these graves correspond to.

The closest ones are the tombstones of Gaozu Wang Guangzong, great-grandfather and Wang Qing's father.

Although Gaozu Wang Guangzong did not always maintain his status as a trainer, he was a capable ancestor after all. It was also from Wang Guangzong that the family situation of the old Wang family began to improve, and all descendants had a tombstone.

In front of Wang Qing's father's grave, there is still an empty space, which is the place that Old Man Wang reserved for himself.

Old man Wang paid homage to the graves, then took out a simple book and read some strange songs, which sounded like they had something to do with Baishi Village or the Kunshan ruins.

After the song is finished, it is a routine sacrifice.

Worship the ancestors, pray for blessings, and beg the ancestors to bless their marriages with happiness.

After paying homage to the grave of the Wang family, under the leadership of Xia Jianguo, Wang Qing and others also came to the grave of the Xia family.

Compared with the cemetery where the Wang family does not know how many generations there are, the Xia family's cemetery has only a few solitary graves and tombstones. The Xia family is only an outsider in Baishi Village, and there are only a few generations of graves.

Looking at the cemetery of his ancestors, Xia Jianguo sighed and said, "I originally thought that I could be buried here after my death. Unfortunately, the second child in the family has already chosen a place for me. In fact, it is better here."

Xia Jianguo kowtowed a few times, followed by Wang Qing and Xia Lingyun.

Wang Xiaobing stuck out her tongue secretly behind Old Man Wang, and was then knocked on the head by Old Man Wang.

And when Wang Qing and others returned to Wang's house, Aunt Zhang who had been waiting next door for a long time had already appeared and set off a string of firecrackers.

After that, many people from the village appeared.

The village chief Lao Zhangtou, as a witness, announced the engagement ceremony.

Wang Qing didn't know why the engagement ceremony was so complicated in a small village.

Wang Qing and Xia Lingyun also danced Pippi's dance, which was a somewhat embarrassing and shameful dance. Wang Qing had seen similar murals in the depths of the underground palace ruins in Kunshan.

Wang Qing didn't know the meaning of this dance, but it was said that happiness would be obtained after dancing, so Wang Qing just danced it.

After that, Wang Qing exchanged engagement rings with Xia Lingyun.

Xia Lingyun blushed, and took out the silver ring that she had prepared at some time, which fit perfectly with Wang Qing's finger; the old man Wang gave him the silver ring that his mother had worn, and Wang Qing put the ring on Xia Lingyun's face. hands.

Afterwards, under the blessings of everyone and Wang Xiaobing's angry eyes, Xia Lingyun walked towards him, her lips touched lightly, and then quickly parted.

Xia Lingyun blushed and hugged one of his arms.

The village head, old man Zhang, brought an old-fashioned camera, and old man Wang said he wanted to keep it as a souvenir.

Under the urging of old man Wang, Wang Qing released his giant pincer mantis and big wolf dog, and Xia Lingyun also released a few of his elves.

Wang Qing, Xia Lingyun, the two old men, plus Wang Xiaobing took a group photo with a few elves.

Engagement ceremonies are full of various rituals.

Wang Qing felt that there was an invisible chain that bound him and Xia Lingyun together.

Especially after Wang Qing got that photo, this feeling has become extremely strong in Wang Qing's heart.

Because in the photo, Wang Qing not only saw the fairies on his bright face, but also the two secret fairies appeared vaguely in the corner of the photo.

Geng Gui Xiaohei pretends to be a shadow, and Butterfly Xiaolu pretends to be the sunlight shining into the room.

...

In short, the engagement ceremony of the old Wang's family lasted for a long time and finally came to an end. The folks in the village and outside the village gave enough face, half for old man Wang, and half for Xia Jianguo, who has the identity of a trainer.

Xia Jianguo left by car that afternoon, while Xia Lingyun stayed directly at Wang Qing's home.

Wang Qing also learned during the engagement process that there was a similar custom of child brides in Baishi Village. After the engagement, the woman can live in the man's home so that she can adapt to how to take care of her husband after marriage.

It's just that you can't kill people before you officially get married, otherwise the offspring born will definitely have a bad life.

The guest room where Xia Lingyun lived was changed, and it became the room diagonally opposite to Wang Qing, which would also be the future wedding room of the two of them.

In the middle of the night, after getting engaged, Wang Qing stayed in her room thinking about the future after a long absence, instead of training immediately.

And just in the process of Wang Qing's thinking, slight footsteps appeared, and Xia Lingyun pushed open his door and walked in.

"Wang Qing, what is the meaning of this ring?" Xia Lingyun stretched out her left hand and showed the ring on her ring finger in front of Wang Qing.

The silver ring has simple patterns, Wang Qing faintly remembered that his mother had worn this ring.

Wang Qing remembered playing with this ring when he was young. At that time, he thought it was a silver ring, but the old man Wang told him that it was a platinum ring, which was very expensive, and he must not pass it on to his daughter-in-law in the future. lost.

Later, little Wang Qing was worried that he would lose the treasure at home, so he handed the ring back to Mr. Wang for safekeeping.

Wang Qing grasped Xia Lingyun's plain hand and carefully looked at the ring on the ring finger. The latter's cheeks turned red again. Wang Qing touched the pattern on the ring and said: "It should be platinum, don't sell it, and don't get it. lost……"

Following Wang Qing's words, Xia Lingyun once again looked at her fiancé with a resentful expression. As long as she is in a normal state of mind, she will definitely take care of this important engagement ring...
