Chapter 1111: The First Confrontation Between Light and Darkness
He was wearing a black brocade robe with two golden patterns running through his entire body. There was a ball of golden flame embroidered on his chest. He held the Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix Fan and walked in from outside.
” Brother!” Ding Yi’s eyes lit up and he rushed forward.” Brother!”
“You want to inform the Huo family to postpone the engagement?” Zhang Ronghua teased.
“No!” Ding Yi panicked.
He did not dare to pretend anymore.
“Isn’t this to help the Ding family spread its branches and leaves as soon as possible?”
He asked again.
“What did His Majesty say?”
Zhang Ronghua said,” That’s enough. Keep the news to yourself. Don’t reveal a word to the public. I’ve already sent someone to inform Tie Changlin on the way here.”
“I guessed it.”
“Be careful when you go out in the future. Bring Uncle Ding with you wherever you go,” said Zhang Ronghua.
” They dare to attack me?” Ding Yi’s face turned cold.
“It’s better to be prepared!”
Ding Yi solemnly remembered.
” Don’t think too much,” Zhang Ronghua said with a smile.” Today is your engagement day. Be happy.”
Ding Yi smiled.
“Let’s go,” Zhang Ronghua called out.
Each of them sat in a carriage and rushed towards the Huo family.
Everyone in the Huo family in Beijing, no matter what they were doing, put down what they were doing and rushed over. Before dawn, the servants cleaned up, sprinkled water, scented incense, and laid out the red carpet.
Huo Jingyun and Huo Jingxiu led the younger generation and waited at the door. It was a grand scene.
“Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, it’s time for Ling ‘er to be married.”
“Yeah!” Huo Jingxiu exclaimed. After today, he will be a member of the Ding family soon.”
He was curious.
“What’s the arrangement on Ningxue’s side?”
Huo Jingyun said,” I bought the courtyard beside the Heavenly Earth. It’s already been opened up and renovated. It’s grand and elegant. Let her stay there. There are ten maids and guards outside. There won’t be any problems with her safety.”
“I can rest assured that you’ll do your job.”
Out of the corner of their eyes, they saw two carriages coming from the street. The brothers looked at each other and smiled. Then, they led a group of clansmen to welcome them.
“Qinglin, Changqing!” He greeted them with a smile when they got out of the car.
“Lord Marquis!” The Huo Clan disciples bowed.
“You’re not late, are you?” Zhang Ronghua nodded and smiled.
“Ling-er will get anxious if you don’t come soon,” Huo Jingyun teased.
The few of them smiled and entered the manor.
Outside the lobby.
With Huo Chengcheng as the leader, there were a few elders waiting here. They did not dare to be arrogant and gave him enough face.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
“You’re here!” She smiled and greeted him.
“Uncle Huo.” Zhang Ronghua bowed.
Huo Chengcheng introduced the people around him one by one, and the two of them bowed one by one.
They entered the lobby.
Huo Chengcheng sat on the left, representing the host. Zhang Ronghua sat on the right, representing the elders of the Ding family. The elders of the Huo family sat on the lower left, followed by Huo Jingxiu and his brother. Ding Yi sat on the lower right. He was the only one.
Zhang Ronghua bowed in the direction of the palace and said,” I’m indebted to His Majesty for his favor in agreeing to this marriage. During this period of time, Chang Qing and Huo Ling have been getting along very well. They have a harmonious relationship and are very satisfied with each other. Grandpa Ding isn’t around, so as the elder brother, I’m proposing on behalf of the Ding family. This is the list of gifts. Please take a look.”
He patted the Five Dragon Spirit Taming Belt on his waist and took out a red gift list. The things on it were all prepared by him.
As Ding Yi’s elder brother, this was his heartfelt wish!
Huo Chengcheng took the gift. There were not many items on it, only eight. The first was ten thousand taels of gold, the second was a phoenix coronet and cape (made of phoenix wings), and the third was the Time Carriage. The carriage from before was later bestowed by Emperor Xia. It had been kept in the residence for a long time. It was of great significance and far exceeded ordinary items…The eighth item,[Love in This Life Painting].
The first seven pieces had been prepared, and the eighth piece needed to be made on the spot.
Each item was more valuable than the last. Even Huo Chengcheng was moved. He said three words in a row,”Good!” Good! Alright!”
He handed over the list of gifts. The Huo family members looked at them one by one and sighed in their hearts. Zhang Ronghua really treated Ding Yi as his own brother. He was very thoughtful. Even they could not find any fault with him.
“The Huo Family has no objections. We’ll leave it to you, Lord Marquis.” The list of gifts returned to Huo Chengcheng’s hands.
When it came to serious matters, he called him “Lord Marquis” instead of “Green Kirin”.
“All seven items are inside. I’ll give you the eighth item when Huo Ling comes.” Zhang Ronghua took out a Sumeru Bag and handed it over.
After accepting the gifts, the marriage was set.
“Call Ling ‘er over,” Huo Chengcheng ordered.
“Yes.” Huo Jingyun replied.
He stood up and left.
Everyone was drinking tea and chatting, relaxed and joyous.
Back courtyard, boudoir.
Huo Ling was very beautiful today. She had dressed up meticulously and changed into a purple dress. She didn’t like to wear jewelry, so she put it on now. Not only did her heroic temperament not decrease, but it also became even more charming.
Although he was holding back and not letting his inner thoughts show, there was still a hint of sweetness and happiness on his face. At first, he did not dare to reject the marriage arranged by the family due to the Emperor’s decree. As Ding Yi turned over a new leaf and stopped fooling around, he slowly got to know him and realized that he was not as profligate as he looked. He was actually very smart, responsible, and ambitious!
She didn’t know when it had started, but it had entered her heart, and now she liked and was satisfied with it.
“Miss, it seems you can’t wait any longer,” said the maid Ping ‘er playfully.
He had been serving her since she was young, and their relationship was very good. A few harmless jokes did not affect her.
What do you think?
