I have been farming since I crossed over.

Chapter 190 Engagement 2

Yang Laowu and Wu both stepped forward and said with a smile: "My dear relatives, congratulations!"

The next person to come into view was Lu Jintang, who approached slowly, carefully carrying an exquisite wooden box in his hands. The box was gently opened, revealing a stunning set of emerald green jewelry. These jewelry pieces were all in the shape of teardrops, crystal clear, and smooth as jade. In the bright sunlight, they shimmered with enchanting light, like emerald green gemstones. It was truly magnificent and eye-catching!

Lu Jintang smiled and looked at Yang Mingxi tenderly, saying softly, "Axi, congratulations on our engagement today. May you and I be happy and content forever!"

When Yang Mingxi heard these words of blessing, she couldn't help but lower her head shyly, and her cheeks instantly flushed with a bright blush like the sunset. She responded in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Let's have fun together, and I wish you and me happiness!" After that, Yang Mingxi slightly turned sideways and led everyone towards the courtyard.

Behind Lu Jintang followed his ten well-trained secret guards and an equal number of imposing bodyguards. Each of them carried a shoulder pole, with baskets hanging from both ends filled with a wide variety of items, a dazzling array of goods.

Some baskets were filled with silks and satins of bright colors; some were filled with rare antiques of unique and exquisite shapes; some baskets were filled with delicious dishes and exquisite pastries, emitting an enticing aroma; and some baskets were filled with lively chickens and ducks... This long team, accompanied by laughter and joy, walked farther and farther away, and finally disappeared at the gate of the courtyard.

Yang Mingxi led Lu Jintang to deliver all the things to the small courtyard where she lived in the backyard, and then brought the group to the reception room and asked everyone to sit down and drink tea.

At this moment, Yang Mingxi, smiling, gently placed cups of "tea" exuding an alluring aroma on the table in front of each Lu family member, and handed them to each Lu family member present one by one. Everyone's eyes were instantly drawn to them, staring at the mysterious cups of tea before them.

The liquid in the cup was a light amber color, and a thin layer of mist seemed to rise from the slight ripples. A close sniff revealed a delicate tea fragrance that was intoxicating.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Isn't this the 'medicine' we treasured back then?" The words were like a stone that sent ripples through the room, and the whole room erupted in an uproar. Everyone looked at each other, their eyes filled with a mixture of disbelief and surprise.

"Yes! I remember it clearly. Thirteen gave me a water bag. After drinking just one cup, I felt much lighter and it was easier to walk on the rest of the way. This is a priceless treasure! I never thought it would come from the hands of our future granddaughter-in-law..." Old Mrs. Lu echoed excitedly.

For a moment, all sorts of discussions erupted. Some began to dream of being able to taste such delicious "tea" regularly in the future; others secretly wondered how they could get along well with Yang Mingxi in exchange for this precious tea. Everyone seemed to have already seen the beautiful vision of a happy future.

After hearing this, Old Man Yang smiled and said, "This is the blood-tonifying soup Xier made for our family. It's really effective after drinking it. I feel like my body is getting lighter day by day."

Father Lu smiled and said, "It seems that we will have a good time in the future. We can enjoy the blessing of our daughter-in-law, and our bodies will become healthier!"

After Yang Mingxi served tea, she left. The Lu and Yang families also began to discuss the marriage of Yang Mingxi and Lu Jintang.

The matchmaker stepped forward with a smile and said, "Old Fifth, Mrs. Wu, originally the Lu family saw that the proposal was made today and the engagement was to be held on the eighth day of the sixth lunar month. We don't have such a custom here, so we decided to do the proposal and engagement together."

Yang Laowu smiled and said, "That's right."

The matchmaker smiled and said, "So, today we have three auspicious dates for marriage: the eighth day of the sixth lunar month, the sixth day of the eighth lunar month, and the tenth day of the tenth lunar month. I know your second son is getting married on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, so we don't need the date in June. Can you discuss whether to get married on the sixth day of the eighth lunar month or the tenth day of the tenth lunar month?"

Yang Laowu couldn't make the decision on this matter, so he looked at Old Man Yang and Old Lady Yang.

Old Lady Yang took over the conversation and asked, "What do you think, my in-laws?"

Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Our family definitely hopes it will happen as soon as possible. They both have a lot of things to do and may have to travel far away, but we still respect your opinion."

Old Lady Yang smiled and said, "Our Xier went on a trip with her master when she was five years old and only came back at the end of last year. We'd like to keep her for a while longer, but if something does happen later, we can bring her back earlier. She'll have plenty of time to come back and stay with us later, right?"

Mother Lu smiled and said, "Of course. Besides being a wife of the Lu family, Xier is first and foremost a daughter of the Yang family. Going back to her parents' home is the most basic thing! Besides, the two families live so close, there's not much difference between being married and not being married. After they get married, they will live in the courtyard by the river."

Wu then smiled and said, "If time is too tight, there won't be enough time to prepare wedding clothes or anything like that."

Lu Jintang smiled and said, "Axi doesn't have that much time to make the wedding dress, so I found twelve embroiderers. The bedding and other things are already made. The wedding dress is just waiting for Axi to confirm the style, and then we can start work. Don't worry about this, mother-in-law."

"This... this is not good!" Wu muttered.

"Mom, Axi is someone who can do big things. She doesn't have so much time to spend on these little things. I don't mind, don't worry!" Lu Jintang stood up and said sincerely.

"That's settled then, let's do it on the sixth day of August!" Old Man Yang decided.

Yang Laowu nodded and said, "Yes, we will prepare everything as soon as possible."

Father Lu glanced at his own father, then at his mother, took a deep breath, and said, "For their wedding this time, we'll keep it simple. I promise you, when we return to the capital, I'll definitely give them another grand wedding."

Old Lady Yang smiled and said, "That's not necessary. They just want the two of them to be happy. Marriage is just a formality. Don't worry too much about it."

Lu Jintang stood up and said, "Don't worry, grandma. No matter what, I will give Axi the best, including the wedding ceremony. But no matter how it is held now, it will not be the best in my heart. So after returning to the capital, I must hold a wedding ceremony for Axi. This is what I promised her."

"Okay, you guys can do whatever you want! It should be time to prepare dinner, let's go eat!" said Yang Laowu.

"Dinner is ready, Grandpa and Grandma!" Yang Minghong pulled his brother to the living room and said to Old Man Yang and Old Lady Yang.
