Zhang Xuetao turned his head and said in a soft voice:
"Lianyi, father and Uncle Duan have their own intentions. We just need to be obedient. Don't worry too much. I have a sense of control over my own body."
"Okay, then you can't drink today, just pretend."
"I understand, little housekeeper!"
Zhang Xuetao said dotingly, almost making Ripple sick and vomiting .
Just as the car stopped, the driver reminded the two of them:
"Master Zhang and Miss Duan, we are here!"
Then someone opened the door. Zhang Xuetao got out of the car first, then stretched out his hand and pulled Lianyi helped him out and was surrounded by a circle of people. They were the guards arranged by Duan Zongqing. He was afraid that someone would take advantage of the chaos and do something.
There were many people around to join in the fun. They surrounded the door three levels inside and three outside. There were also reporters holding cameras, flashlights flashing constantly, and people setting off fireworks. In short, it was lively. The two protagonists were welcomed into the hotel.
People who had arrived early with the post looked at the talented and beautiful couple with smiles on their faces.
Zhang Xuetao wore a white three-piece suit today and a pair of white handmade leather shoes on his feet, which perfectly showed off his figure and made him look very noble.
Lianyi wore a slim-fitting fishtail dress with white lace and dark flowers, and a set of sapphire jewelry. Her good figure was undoubtedly revealed. Her slightly rolled up wavy hairstyle gave her a unique exotic look. She stood tall The light around Zhang Xuetao was not blocked at all.
Lianyi dressed up just to suppress Zhang Xuetao. She had no intention of letting everyone think that Zhang Xuetao could surpass her.
“Girl Lianyi is so beautiful today!”
Zhang Fenglin smiled and said to Duan Zongqing beside him.
"Xue Tao isn't bad either! The two of them stand together and get better!"
Duan Zongqing is very good at talking.
"Children are debts. I hope they will mature after they get engaged and take over the burden in my hands as soon as possible."
"Yes! My daughter has lost her mother since she was a child. It is me. She grew up pampered, and I conquered the entire south just to give her a stable environment to grow up.
These will definitely be left to Ripple in the future. Your kid can't bully my daughter, otherwise. I don’t want to.”
"Oh, don't worry! If Xuetao dares to apologize to Lianyi, I will be the first to not spare him."
Zhang Fenglin immediately promised.
"Okay, I believe you!"
After the two of them exchanged words, Lianyi and Zhang Xuetao also walked up to them, and the next step was to announce their engagement.
The master of ceremonies immediately came on stage and presided over an engagement ceremony that combined Chinese and Western styles. After the ceremony, Lianyi changed into a red phoenix cheongsam and greeted the guests one by one. He was busy running around, and so was Zhang Xuetao on the other side. Same situation.
The two of them met the distinguished guests separately for a while, and toasted together for a while. It was not until the sun went down that the day's engagement ceremony came to a successful conclusion. They will wait to see the news tomorrow.
Zhang Xuetao sent Lianyi back to Marshal Duan's Mansion first as a gentleman. Although the two were engaged, they still abided by the rules.
Although Zhang Fenglin hinted to his son that it is better to cook the rice before it is raw, but Lianli has never been away from anyone. Zhang Xuetao didn't have the chance, and he didn't dare.
"Brother Xuetao, I told you not to drink today, but you still drank. This is not good for your wounds. You should not go out these days. You must have a good rest at home. I have Sora will come and see you."
Lianyi asked worriedly.
"Thank you, Sister Lianyi, for your concern. I am indeed a little tired. I plan to take a day off tomorrow. You are also very tired today. There is no need to come to see me. When you have a good rest, I will ask you to go swimming in the lake."
< br>Zhang Xuetao's face was a little red, and he looked like he was drunk from drinking, but Ripple knew that he had a fever again. "Okay, I listen to Brother Xuetao, go back quickly!"
After the two said goodbye reluctantly, Ripple turned around and entered the Marshal's Mansion.
After the engagement ceremony, Lianyi’s study abroad was put on the agenda. Although Duan Zongqing was reluctant to give up, he still had everything to prepare. People, money, and things were all carefully selected. I am afraid that my daughter will be wronged if she goes abroad.
When they were almost ready, Duan Zongqing called everyone to his study room and gave them another special instruction.
"Lianyi, this time you go out, in addition to studying, you also want to avoid the chaos within the Xia Kingdom. You will come back after I have taken care of all the trivial matters here."
" Okay, father! Just take care of yourself and don't be too tired."
Lianyi said with a smile.
“I know.”
Then Duan Zongqing turned his head to Qiu Chan and said:
“When I go abroad this time, I can’t give you a large amount of money, lest Zhang Fenglin notice anything, but every month I will give it to you in the name of living expenses. , give you a sum of money.
So in the early stage, you can bring your own dowry. How much you can earn depends on your own ability. I won’t interfere and you don’t need to hand it over. I am only responsible for domestic work. I have to rely on you to protect you abroad."
"Don't worry, sir! I will be careful."
"Dong Qing, your mother is a foreigner. You have an advantage, take care of the lady and yourself when you go out, and contact me if you need anything.”
"Yes, sir!"
Dongqing agreed with a smile, she could finally visit her mother's hometown.
On the other side, Zhang Xuetao's situation was not very good. Because the wound had not healed, he reluctantly attended the engagement ceremony and drank alcohol. The wound did not heal for a long time. He also had repeated fevers and had no time at all. Develop a relationship with Ripples.
Lianyi visited the other party twice, but Zhang Xuetao had an idea but was unable to implement it. In the end, he could only watch the duck fly away.
Ten days later, Lianyi took people on a cruise ship to Country Y, and said goodbye to her father and fiancé in tears. This time, she went to the sky to fly like a bird, to fly to the sea, to jump like a fish, and started her wonderful study. career.
Lianyi waved his sleeves and left the Xia Kingdom without taking a trace of clouds with him. Without any worries, Duan Zongqing began to forcefully conquer the other forces in the south. Those who were willing to submit were broken up and organized into different teams. Those who were unwilling were separated into different teams. Just beat him to death with a stick, he didn't have time to take his time.
During this period, Duan Zongqinghuan and Zhang Fenglin organized many joint operations to target those deep-rooted aristocratic families. Some were happy and some were worried. However, Zhang Xuetao was busy making contributions and did not think about it anymore. Find Yun Siyu.
Yun Siyu is very good at doing things. After arriving at the foreign hospital in Nanhu, she completed all the procedures and made a phone call to Zhang Xuetao on the night of their engagement.
"Mr. Zhang, are your injuries better?"
"I'm much better. I've been recovering from my injuries since I got home, and I haven't been able to thank you in person."
< br>
"I know you are busy! I forgot to congratulate you on your happy engagement! Miss Duan must be a great beauty. I can even think of the headlines in tomorrow's newspaper."
Zhang Siyu's words were sour.
"Thank you!"
Zhang Xuetao was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to explain.
"Mr. Zhang, I just express my feelings and have no other meaning. In addition to greeting you, I also want to say thank you to you."
