Chapter 144 Twenty years late
The days at home go by very fast, and in a blink of an eye it’s the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the day of ancestor worship.
Gu Qingyin originally didn't plan to go, after all, she was not in the Huo family's family tree.
It's okay to attend a banquet and act as the Huo family's mistress. After all, she is indeed Huo Xingye's mother.
But on such an important day as ancestor worship, if she went there as the Huo family's mistress, she would be suspected of playing tricks on her ancestors and being disrespectful to them.
In the end, Gu Qingyin got on the car heading to Huo's old house.
This old house is not that old house. The old house they usually talk about is the place where Huo Yunjing lived before. This old house is the foundation of the Huo family for thousands of years. It is an antique-like old house that has been passed down from our ancestors. .
So the question is, why did Gu Qingyin embark on this journey even though it was against the rules?
Because a certain ghost wanted to take the opportunity to write Gu Qingyin's name in the family tree. In other words, a certain ghost wanted to hold a make-up wedding, even though it was a ghost wedding.
Huo Yunjing felt that worshiping ancestors was the best opportunity. The Huo family gathered at this time was the most complete. He wanted to make his wedding more lively and invite outsiders to avoid being frightened, but the Huo family was different. They could be frightened as much as they wanted.
In addition, vassal families such as the Xue Jiahua family and the Chen family can also participate. Huo Yunjing can already imagine the lively scene of the wedding.
Of course, the prerequisite for the wedding to be held smoothly is that Gu Qingyin agrees to his proposal.
"I can't run." Gu Qingyin sat between Huo Xinghai and Huo Xingchen, looking helpless. "To be honest, it's a bit crowded."
The brothers were unmoved.
Gu Qingyin kept up her efforts, "Don't you think Hoshino is a little lonely sitting in front?"
Huo Xinghai smiled, "Brother shouldn't mind, he has always enjoyed loneliness."
Huo Xingchen predicted: "You don't have to worry about Guoguo being lonely. Guoguo and Maomao play well."
Gu Qingyin repeated the action of opening and closing her mouth three times. After three times, she sighed and reiterated, "I really can't run."
Huo Xinghai continued to smile, "We'll be there soon. Mom, please be patient a little longer."
The Huo family's old house is on a mountain, and it is on a mountain far away from Yuncheng, but it is not desolate. There are guard booths at the foot of the mountain to register vehicles, and there are three guard posts from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
On the top of the mountain, Huo's manor and castle have been renovated many times, showing traces of time everywhere, but the facilities are very modern.
The villa has formed its own ecological cycle system, and everything is self-sufficient.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the end of the world comes, the gate of the villa will be a natural fortress, and you can survive the end of the world safely without leaving home.
The car stopped at the gate of the castle, and everyone from the Huo family branch, who had already received the news, was waiting aside with smiles on their faces.
Huo Xingye got off the car first, followed by Huo Xinghai and Huo Xingchen.
After Huo Xinghai came out, he bent down and extended his hand to the car. Gu Qingyin put her hand on her helplessly and followed his lead to get out of the car.
Everyone in the Huo family was not surprised at all.
Gu Qingyin sighed, who would have thought that she didn't get the certificate from Huo Yunjing back then.
"Mother, head of the family, second young master, third young master."
Everyone smiled and said hello, and for a while, the entrance to the castle became lively.
In fact, mistress should be used to call the wife of the family head, but because the head of the family has not yet married, the title of the previous generation is still used.
When Huo Xingye gets married in the future, his wife will become the new mistress, and Gu Qingyin will become the "old lady".
"The room is ready." The butler of the castle, wearing a tuxedo and white gloves, with a friendly smile, bowed slightly and said: "Everyone can go back to your room to wash up and rest. The dinner will be held on time in an hour."
The castle is not high, only six floors, but it covers a very large area.
The owner's exclusive bedroom is on the fifth floor. Gu Qingyin and Xinghai Xingchen's rooms are also on this floor, not far from the master bedroom.
Guoguo suddenly came to a strange place, and the place was large and empty. The child was a little scared and hugged Gu Qingyin without letting go.
There was no other way, so Gu Qingyin had no choice but to move her and Maomao into the same room. As soon as Huo Xingye closed the door, Huo Yunjing quietly appeared behind him. The moment he turned his head, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
But the tyrant's cultivation did not allow him to show any signs of it. His face was calm and his voice did not even tremble, "Dad, are you ready?"
Huo Yunjing, who was interested in proposing, didn't notice anything strange about Huo Xingye. He frowned and said, "Guo Guo is too much trouble."
He needs an absolutely private space where no naughty children can cause trouble.
Huo Xingye nodded calmly, "This is simple, just let Xinghai take Guoguo out to play."
"Then call your brother and ask him to move faster." Huo Yunjing urged.
Except for Gu Qingyin, everyone else in the family and the ghosts knew about this proposal, oh, and we also had to exclude Guoguo who couldn't act.
After receiving the mission, Huo Xinghai immediately went to pick up Guoguo and said he wanted her to explore the castle.
When she heard about the adventure, Guoguo nodded repeatedly with her eyes shining, and took Maomao away as well.
There was only one Gu Qingyin left in the house.
Here, Huo Yunjing put on the suit and leather shoes that his sons had burnt for him before, took the roses, put the engagement ring in his pocket, and walked out majestically.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Turn left ten meters and knocked on Gu Qingyin's door.
Gu Qingyin had just finished taking a shower and was blow-drying her hair. There was a slow and hollow knock on the door. As soon as she heard it, she knew that it could not be knocked by anyone.
She couldn't help but wonder, when did Huo Yunjing become so polite? Didn't you just walk in through the wall in the past?
Putting down the hair dryer, Gu Qingyin walked over and opened the door, her eyes widened in surprise, "What are you..."
"Aren't you going to invite me in?" Huo Yunjing asked in a deliberately lowered voice.
Gu Qingyin couldn't help but tremble, "Speak carefully, I'm afraid I can't help but beat you."
Huo Yunjing: "...Okay."
Huo Yunjing almost lost confidence after failing to win the battle.
"Come in." Gu Qingyin greeted: "You sit down first, I'll blow dry your hair, and I'll be back soon."
Huo Yunjing: ...the atmosphere is completely gone!
He sat on the sofa dejectedly and reflected. After all, this kind of thing should not be kept too tightly hidden. He should still give some hints so that the person being proposed can be prepared, otherwise it will easily end up like this.
I'm stuck here without any embarrassment, not sure whether I should continue or not.
I don’t know how long it took, but Gu Qingyin came out and called softly: "Yunjing."
Huo Yunjing raised his head, astonishment flashed in his eyes. Then he quickly stood up and straightened his wrinkle-free clothes. When he looked at Gu Qingyin again, he was amazed.
"You are so beautiful."
Yes, Gu Qingyin not only guessed his purpose, but also took advantage of the time when she was blow-drying her hair to change her skirt and give her a simple look.
Gu Qingyin gave a rare shy smile and walked up to Huo Yunjing.
Huo Yunjing handed over the rose in his hand, then solemnly knelt down on one knee, took out the ring, and said softly: "Qingyin, will you marry me?"
There was no grand venue, no other people to witness, just them.
This proposal was twenty years late. It no longer needed external magnificence. Time was its best decoration.
"In the days to come, I want to grow old with you."
"Okay."
