After bidding farewell to the Supreme Lord, Shi Zhongkui followed the advice and went to Guanjiangkou to find Yang Jian to return the lotus lantern.

But he didn't expect that this guy would confiscate it. Instead, he smiled and asked Shi Zhongkui to go to Huashan and hand it over to Yang Chan himself.

Shi Zhongkui heard the evaluation of Yang Chan from Master Taiyi, so he was naturally willing to see with his own eyes how beautiful the Third Holy Mother was.

If everything goes well, it will basically be like deciding on the marriage.

No, this marriage was actually decided when I received the lotus lantern from Yang Jian.

Only then did Yang Jian dare to let himself go to see Yang Chan.

And even though Yang Chan is a fairy, she still follows her parents' orders and the words of a matchmaker, whether in the human world or in heaven.

It can be said that with the approval of the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, basically no one can object.

In addition, Yang Chan's mother-in-law, Fairy Yunhua, has not reported any objections for so many days, so the marriage is almost settled.

Moreover, Shi Zhongkui's status as a direct disciple of the third generation of Chanjiao is enough to be worthy of Yang Jian's sister.

Not to mention that Shi Zhongkui was not only valued much more highly than Yang Jian in the Human Sect and the Interpretation Sect, but even Yang Jian's master Yuding Zhenren was only respected by Yuan Shi Tian, ​​but not by the Taiqing Sage.

Even after going to Bajing Palace from Shi Zhongkui and listening to the sermons of Saint Taiqing alone, there was no third-generation disciple in the entire Xuanmen who could compare with him.

And this also confirmed in a sense that Shi Zhongkui enjoyed the treatment of being a second-generation disciple of Renjiao.

As long as they are clear-headed, Yang Jian and Yang Chan's mother, Fairy Yunhua, will only be happy and wish that the wedding could be held as soon as possible.

Of course, if Yang Chan has someone he likes, let's talk about it separately.

Shi Zhongkui would not force the other party to marry him. After all, it was about marrying a wife, and it also involved the stability of his own backyard for countless years to come.

As for love, in modern society, people would fall in love first and then get married.

But in ancient times, most women, whether they were mortals or fairies, would get married first and then talk about love.

According to Shi Zhongkui's modern thinking, he only needs to respect his wife to a certain extent, say some loving words and do considerate things from time to time, which is enough to make his wife overjoyed.

In addition, he is handsome enough, has good skills, and is even stronger than Yang Jian. No woman will feel disgusted with him after marriage.

Shi Zhongkui took back the lotus lantern and nodded to Yang Jian, officially agreeing to the marriage.

Yang Jian was immediately overjoyed and broke the news without hesitation, "Brother Xian, my girl is the happiest..."

Shi Zhongkui didn't wait for Yang Jian to finish, and quickly interrupted, "Wait a minute."

Yang Jian looked at Shi Zhongkui in surprise, and saw him smiling and saying, "Thank you for your kindness, brother, but if I listen to my brother's warning and contact Miss Yang again, it will seem too utilitarian and look down on the girls of the Yang family."

Shi Zhongkui dared to do this because according to the legend of Yang Chan and Liu Yanchang, this girl should not be difficult to pursue.

The most important thing is that Shi Zhongkui is a sixth-level scholar in the world of Red Mansions. Although he does not really like learning, this does not prevent Shi Zhongkui from being a well-read poet.

In terms of knowledge, knowledge, and demeanor, he is definitely better than Liu Yanchang, a failed scholar.

Not to mention that Yang Chan had been mentally prepared before. Shi Zhongkui didn't need to deliberately please him. He only needed to show that he was polite and well-read, which was enough to make Yang Chan feel good.

Once you have a good feeling, based on ancient women's thinking, it is basically 90% done.

Rejecting Yang Jian's internal behavior can also gain more favor from Yang Jian, and if this matter comes to the ears of Master Yuding and Fairy Yunhua, it will definitely be a bonus.

If Yang Chan learned about this from his mother, Fairy Yunhua, then Yang Chan's whole heart would be attached to Shi Zhongkui.

Yang Jian was just as Shi Zhongkui expected. He took Shi Zhongkui's wrist and laughed loudly, "Brother Wei is indeed right. My virtuous brother is truly a gentleman. Brother Wei and mother don't have to worry about my sister suffering."

Shi Zhongkui didn't think Yang Jian was really that easy to fool, but whether he was sincere or had other plans, at least his performance just now was enough to show how much Shi Zhongkui valued Yang Chan.

Yang Jian was naturally relieved.

In ancient times, marriage and married life only reflected the importance given to the woman, and in the eyes of the world, she was already a good match.

Just like Shi Zhongkui arranged the status of Baochai and Yingchun's first and second wives, and gave them corresponding rights, that is a good husband.

With this premise, as long as the husband is not a violent person, the relationship between husband and wife will definitely be harmonious and happy.

Saying goodbye to Yang Jian and the six Meishan brothers who had seen each other for hundreds of miles, Shi Zhongkui lifted up the clouds and headed for Huashan.

When I was approaching Huayin County, I suddenly remembered that if this trip was a success, should I give my future wife a token of love?

Women usually give sachets, while men usually give jade pendants.

Of course, if you are a poor scholar, a fan, a letter or poem that cannot be called a love letter but contains metaphors will also do.

But with Shi Zhongkui's status, even the best mutton-fat jade seems not to be taken seriously enough.

Moreover, Yang Chan was willing to borrow the lotus lantern, so it really doesn’t make sense that the gift is light.

The simplest and most cost-effective way is, of course, to compose poetry.

But when the two met for the first time and wrote some romantic poems, it was a bit frivolous.

If there is no marriage and we don't know each other, it would be fine. But now that there is a marriage contract, it is already illegal to meet in private, and it is even more ridiculous to write a love poem and give it to the woman in person.

After all, this is not a drama. Liu Yanchang's poem of mediocre quality can deceive the heart of Yang Chan, a fairy.

However, if both of them are satisfied, they can write poems at that time, and the effect will definitely be great.

After thinking about it, Shi Zhongkui simply returned to Heaven and entered Tushita Palace, where he asked Laojun for permission to enter the warehouse.

I selected a colorful phoenix jade bracelet in the treasure house, then returned to Huayin County, flew around Huashan Mountain several times, and finally landed on a hillside that was considered an important traffic thoroughfare.

I found a bamboo forest, recruited ten wolf demons, and built a bamboo house and a fenced courtyard with half an acre of land in just one hour.

Then recruit Dansheng and become a hermit.

But the place he chose was an important thoroughfare with a relatively dense flow of people. Dansheng only studied for three days every morning and evening before someone from a nearby village came to visit.

The so-called Li Zheng refers to the length of a mile in the countryside outside the counties and counties during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

To put it bluntly, it is the lowest-level official position, mainly responsible for household registration and tax payment.

Compared to farmers, this kind of person can be considered a wealthy household in the countryside, and has considerable power.

But really speaking, he is just a local bully.

If the children at home want to study, it is impossible to ask a teacher to come to their home.

If you go to the city to study, the cost will definitely be high.

As for self-study and parents teaching themselves, let alone whether they can teach, there are not even books, or at most there are only a few handwritten manuscripts.

As for whether there are typos or omissions, there is no guarantee.

Hearing that Dansheng was studying in the morning and evening, it was normal for Li Zheng to come to visit.
