Chapter 67 I have an opinio
The Li family mansion was decorated with lights today. In addition to Li Lanrong and his wife standing in front of the door, there were two elderly people from the clan with very high seniority and Grandma Yu from Tiandao Peak also standing in front of the door to welcome them. This lineup was considered a mid-range configuration for Tiandao Peak and the Li family, after all, it was not the day of a wedding.
Proposing marriage is the prelude to marrying off a daughter, and its meaning is almost the same for wealthy families. After the engagement is made, the next step is to choose an auspicious day to get married.
"Where is Xiaocao, Menghan?" Mao Qingshui asked.
Li Menghan said: "I just went to see my cousin. She was putting on makeup and changing clothes. She asked me to give her some advice. She chose several outfits but she was not satisfied with any of them. Then she asked me to leave and told me to think about it carefully."
Mao Qingshui smiled and said, "This child is quite serious. It's hard for her to remain calm and composed when faced with things. My daughter has always been quite indifferent to everything. This time is really rare."
Li Lanrong nodded and said: "Marriage is a serious matter and should be taken seriously. Xiaocao knows the limits."
A few people chatted for a few words in front of the Li family mansion when a row of cars drove over from a distance and stopped in front of the mansion. The young master of the Cui family, his father and an elder of Nan Kunlun got out of the Mercedes-Benz in the first car.
Li Lanrong and Mao Qingshui immediately came over, and the two heads of the family shook hands. Li Lanrong said, "Brother Chen Liang, I haven't seen you for many years. Welcome to my humble home."
Cui Chenliang said with a smile: "If you Longxi Li family is considered a humble abode, then our Cui family is just a small gate and courtyard. Let's stop complimenting each other."
"Haha, that's right, that's right." When Li Lanrong and Cui Liangchen were greeting each other, Granny Yu nodded to Elder Tang, the elder of Nan Kunlun. A smile of relief flashed across their faces. Today's meeting was crucial for both Nan Kunlun and Tiandao Peak.
Mao Qingshui looked at the eldest son of the Cui family with satisfaction. The other party smiled politely, revealing his eight rows of teeth, a standard formal smile.
After chatting for a few words at the door, both parties walked into the mansion and came to the main hall. The Cui family members sat on the left and right sides, while Li Lanrong, Mao Qingshui and the two clan leaders sat in the front.
Cui Liangchen looked around and asked, "Miss Li?"
Mao Qingshui smiled and said, "I changed my clothes all morning and put on makeup for half a day. I just asked her and she should be coming out soon. Girls have to dress up when meeting strangers, especially in this kind of occasion."
Cui Liangchen immediately complimented her: "I've heard that the eldest daughter of the Li family is as graceful as a lotus flower emerging from water. Even without makeup, she is not comparable to ordinary people."
"Mr. Cui is the best among men," Mao Qingshui responded, and then called Li Menghan over and said, "Go check on your cousin and ask her to come over quickly."
"Okay, aunt." Li Menghan then walked out of the main hall and came to her cousin's bedroom. When she came in, Xiaocao was gone. The room was tidy and clean, the quilts were neatly folded, and everything was placed as before.
Li Menghan took a few glances and didn't see anyone, but she didn't care. After waiting for a while and still not seeing anyone, she began to look for people in other rooms suspiciously. After searching for a long time and still not seeing anyone, she was a little confused. After picking up the phone calling, the message showed that the phone was turned off.
Li Menghan panicked when she couldn't find anyone. She quickly returned to the main hall and whispered in Mao Qingshui's ear, "Aunt, my cousin is missing."
"What's missing?" Mao Qingshui didn't react at first.
"The person is missing. He is not in the room or at home. I can't get through to him on the phone..."
Mao Qingshui's heart skipped a beat, and she nudged Li Lanrong with her toes, whispering, "My daughter is missing. She's not in the room and the phone can't be reached."
Li Lanrong frowned and said, "Have you looked everywhere?"
“Yes, none of them are here.”
"Let Menghan continue to look for it. If everything is fine here, just do what you need to do," Li Lanrong ordered calmly, and then his expression remained unchanged.
Granny Yu also heard it nearby and winked at indicating that it was okay.
It’s okay that my daughter is missing, as long as my parents are still around. There is no objection to the marriage proposal. Even if the eldest daughter of the Li family doesn’t show up, the marriage will be settled as long as the elders of both sides give their consent.
After Li Menghan hurried out, Li Lanrong and Mao Qingshui continued to talk with Cui Liangchen. At this time, the eldest son of the Cui family was sitting upright on the chair, with no expression on his face, but his hands were fiddling with his fingers at a very fast frequency.
After a while, the two sides seemed to have finished chatting and started to get down to business. Cui's housekeeper had the betrothal gifts tied with red silk placed on the table one by one.
The marriage between the Cui and Li families has officially entered the main topic at this step.
The marriage between these two families was not as complicated as that of ordinary families. Since it was a marriage of alliance, it meant that both parties had already negotiated it and there was no communication involved. The only step was to put the two people's birth dates together and have someone read them out, and if there were no objections, it was done.
Their horoscopes had been checked a long time ago. Although they were not perfect, there was no situation where one of them was incompatible with the other, so they could be considered to have a happy marriage.
At the same time, outside the Li family mansion, Wang Jingzhe, wearing a clean Taoist robe and carrying a bag, was walking towards the Li residence. Before he reached the door, he saw the convoy of cars with consecutive license plate numbers.
Wang Jingzhe walked past several cars with a calm expression. When he arrived at the door, two people from the Li family saw him and reached out to stop him.
"Excuse me, sir. I have something going on at home and cannot see you..."
"You don't have to see anyone else, but I have to go in. Today's incident happens to have something to do with me."
The two men frowned at the same time and said, "Are you kidding? I told you, I won't see anyone today."
"Hehe..." Wang Jingzhe laughed.
In the main hall of the Li family, Granny Yu was holding Xiaocao's birth date and the elder of Nan Kunlun was holding the birth date and time of the young master of the Cui family. The two of them spoke one after another as introducers.
"Cui Xuance, 26 years old, born on the day of Jisi in the month of Guichou in the year of Dingmao"
"Mao Xiaocao, 24 years old, born on the Gengwu day of the Dingchou month of the Jimao year"
"The horoscopes are perfect for each other, a match made in heaven, and the matchmaker has come. If the elders of both families have no objection, Mao Xiaocao and Cui Xuance will be married."
Cui Liangchen nodded and smiled: "I agree"
Mao Qingshui and Li Lanrong also said at the same time: "Agree"
Granny Yu and the elders of Southern Kunlun also nodded and said, "Okay, if there is no objection, the two of you will finish on a good day..."
“I have objections”
Before the two of them finished their conversation, someone suddenly appeared outside the main hall and interrupted their wedding ceremony. Wang Jingzhe walked in steadily, wearing a long robe and carrying a bag.
