After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

On the sixth day of March, Cheng Si took his matchmaker to the Qumu family of the Baiyi tribe to propose marriage.

Mingjia went to bed very early yesterday and is particularly energetic now. She has important things to do today.

The tribe of the Baiyi tribe is not far from Dianzhou City, but the road is a little bumpy. It was supposed to be an occasion for Dong to attend, but Mingjia came instead of Dong.

Therefore, the important thing for Mingjia today is to be a "mascot"!

Mingjia was sitting in the hall of Qumu's house. The surroundings were very lively. There were two boys from the Baiyi tribe beside him. The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was trying hard to find a topic to chat with Mingjia.

Cheng Si and the leader of the Qumu tribe had met in advance and had already communicated with each other. The leader of the Qumu tribe knew that Young Master Xiao would come to the Baiyi tribe today.

The leader of the Qumu tribe specially found two young men from the tribe who were studying at the official school, and asked the young men to take leave and come back to help entertain the guests.

At the beginning, Mingjia wanted to talk about herbal medicine with Shuiluo and Abu, but found that these two were carefully raised by their families and did not understand herbal medicine.

Shui Luo and A Bu wanted to talk to Mr. Xiao's son about studying, but when they heard that Ming Jia did not plan to take the imperial examination, they thought Ming Jia was an ignorant young man.

Shuiluo and Abu looked at each other and had no choice but to change the topic to delicious and fun places in Dianzhou City.

Unfortunately, since Mingjia arrived in Dianzhou City, she has only been out a few times, and has not even been to a few specialty restaurants.

The two sides alternately picked topics to chat, but failed to resonate with each other several times, so... Shui Luo and Abu finally chose to chat with each other about their schoolwork.

Mingjia sat aside and listened quietly, not expressing any opinions and not feeling bored.

Fortunately, this awkward chat didn't last long, and it became lively outside.

The marriage customs of the Baiyi tribe are very different from those in the Central Plains. Cheng Si was an orphan and never paid much attention to these things. He had talked with the leader of the Qumu tribe in advance and all the rules followed the customs of the Baiyi tribe.

When the Baiyi people get engaged, they must first take auspicious signs to get married. Each man and woman will kill a pig and take out the gallbladder and pancreas to see. The color of the gallbladder is bright yellow and the pancreas is large and fat, which is considered auspicious.

Mingjia heard something not right outside. Not only were people talking and laughing, but there were also pigs howling.

Mingjia stood up and wanted to go out to see the excitement, but as soon as she stood up, she was blocked by two young men, Shui Luo and Abu.

"Master Xiao, you should wait in the hall! The outside must be filthy at this time, and the scene is quite scary!"

The main task of Shui Luo and Abu today is not to chat with Ming Jia, but to watch Ming Jia not to go to the pig killing scene to avoid being hit.

Mingjia seemed very interested after listening to Shuiluo and Abu talking about the marriage customs of the Baiyi people, so the topic immediately changed.

One morning was enough for the marriage proposal. Chief Qumu originally wanted to leave everyone there for lunch, but the spring farming season was busy, so the tribesmen who came to help were all in a hurry to go back to work on the farm.

Naturally, Cheng Si didn't want to trouble the leader of the Qumu clan too much. If it wasn't for the engagement, Cheng Si would have simply stayed and helped out in the field.

"Forget it about spring plowing. When the summer harvest comes, Cheng Si, come back and help!"

Patriarch Qumu patted Cheng Si on the shoulder and teased in a friendly tone,

Although Cheng Si's face turned red, he nodded quickly and agreed quickly.

The leader of the Qumu tribe personally sent everyone to the entrance of the tribe's stronghold, and Qumu Atu, who was hiding because of shyness, finally showed up.

Seeing that his daughter had also come to see off the guests, the Qumu patriarch turned to chat with Shen Qi, and specifically gave Cheng Si a chance to go over and chat with Atu.

Cheng Si ignored the teasing glances of the other brothers, arched his hands in the direction of the Qumu clan leader, and then quickly walked in the direction of Atu.

"Why are you still out?"

"What have you been busy with lately?"

As soon as Cheng Si walked up to Atu, they both spoke at the same time.

"I came back from the Central Plains. I first arranged the things I brought back for a few days, and then started preparing to propose marriage!"

"I, Cheng Si, keep my word and will never break my promise."

"I brought you a lot of Jiangnan fashionable jewelry, and I've included them in this gift list. Do you like it?"

Cheng Si didn't want Master Mingjia and the others to wait too long. He just wanted to finish what he wanted to say quickly, talking about recent events very fast.

Qumu Atu was a little surprised at first, but after reacting, he just smiled sweetly.

Cheng Si saw that he had said so much, but Artu only said one sentence, just for his silly pleasure.

"Artu, what's wrong with you?"

As soon as Cheng Si was anxious, he called out the name he had been secretly calling for a long time.

It was the first time Qumu Atu heard Cheng Si call him that, and he suddenly felt that his name sounded very nice.

Cheng Si smiled even more happily when he saw Atu, and he also wanted to laugh with Atu.

"The way you chatted with me just now is very similar to... the way you have been together for a long time."

It was rare for Atu to blush. In fact, Atu just wanted to think about getting along with an old couple, but in the end he was a bit thin-skinned.

Cheng Si understood and his face suddenly turned red.

Patriarch Qumu and Shen Qi had run out of topics to talk about. When they turned around, they saw their daughter and Cheng Si standing face to face. Both of them were silent and had red faces.

"Okay! It's almost time to go! If we don't go back, we won't be able to catch lunch!"

When Cheng Si heard that his future father-in-law was driving people away, he couldn't say anything more. He hurriedly said a word to Atuyou and turned around to leave.

"There will be a big temple fair in the city in a few days. I'll pick you up again!"

Seeing Cheng Si getting on the horse, others also got on the horse, Ming Jia started to prepare to get on the carriage.

Mingjia had already sat on the carriage, and suddenly she seemed to remember something. She opened the curtains and looked at Shuiluo and Abu outside the carriage.

"I just heard you two talking about yesterday's official test. The last question was about writing a poem with yellow flowers as the title."

"I heard that the poems you two wrote about chrysanthemums are quite good, but since it is spring, I don't think the yellow flowers necessarily refer to chrysanthemums."

"I once read a poem, "A small garden is full of spring glory. There are red peach blossoms, white plum blossoms, and yellow cauliflowers."

"It seems to coincide with the current season!"

After Mingjia said with a smile, she slowly lowered the curtain, no longer looking at Shui Luo and Abu's shocked expressions.

Cheng Wen was good at seizing the opportunity and raised his riding whip. When Ming Jia's carriage moved, other mounted guards scattered around the carriage consciously.

When Ming Jia returned to the government office, she gave Chen Xiaoliu and Cheng Wen a day off and asked them to drink and chat with Cheng Si and Shen Qi.

"I'm going to the backyard to accompany my mother. I won't be leaving the house today! You guys have a day off today!"

"Thank you, Master!"

"Thank you, Master!"

Shen Qi planned to return to the capital the day after Cheng Si returned to Dianzhou City, but was persuaded by Cheng Si to stay.

Cheng Si hoped that Brother Shen Qi could stay and watch his proposal of marriage succeed as a relative. For this reason, Cheng Si did not waste any time and proposed the marriage so early.

Tomorrow Shen Qi will lead people to leave Dianzhou City, and their brothers will definitely drink and talk together.
