Quick Travel to the Clouds

Chapter 331 Protecting Family and Benefactor 6

Lu Yuanjing glanced at Yun Chu and saw that she looked normal. He thought: I don’t know what Yun Chu is thinking.

"Yun Chu, take your brother back to his room." Jian sent Yun Chu and the others away.

After everyone left, Jian said, "Lu Xiucai, are you really in love with Yunchu?"

Lu Yuanjing said sincerely: "Yes, I like Yun Chu and want to marry her."

"Lu Xiucai, you are a scholar, and you may pass the imperial examination and even become an official in the future."

"Yun Chu is the daughter of a hunter. She is illiterate and only has strength."

"You two are not a good match, how can you have a common language?"

"Other scholars who are officials can marry women who are good at writing and add fragrance to their lives, but Yunchu can't do that. Won't you despise Yunchu when the time comes?"

"Don't worry, Auntie. I like Yun Chu and will never dislike her. I like every real side of her."

"I can write a letter of commitment that my wife will only be Yun Chu, and I will not have concubines in the future."

"Mr. Lu, what do you like about Yun Chu?" Jian asked curiously.

"I like everything about Yun Chu, no matter his strengths or weaknesses."

Jian thought to herself: This Mr. Lu actually likes his own daughter so much.

After Jian talked with Lu Yuanjing, she asked Mo Zhongli to accompany Lu Yuanjing while she went to talk to Yun Chu.

"Yun Chu, I have already talked with Lu Yuanjing. This Lu Yuanjing is indeed good."

"Yun Chu, please think about it carefully."

Yun Chu nodded and went to find Lu Yuanjing.

"Brother Lu, if I get married, there will be no one at home to take care of my mother and brother." Her mother and brother are also objects of protection.

When Lu Yuanjing heard this, he guessed that Yunchu might want to reject him, and quickly said, "Yunchu, after you marry me, you can bring your aunt and brother to live with you in the village."

Very good, that's exactly what she wanted.

"But there won't be any gossip in this village. I'm getting married and bringing my mother and brother with me."

"You can build a house next to my house, and then bring my brother and aunt to live in the village."

"This way it's easier to take care of her, and we don't have to worry about gossip in the village."

Yun Chu mentioned some more problems, but Lu Yuanjing gave solutions to them.

Finally Yun Chu agreed.

After getting consent, Lu Yuanjing immediately rushed back home.

Discuss adoption with family members.

Nacai is the first step in the marriage ceremony. The man will ask a matchmaker to bring gifts (usually geese or other valuables) to the woman's house to formally propose the conclusion of marriage.

As a gift, the wild geese symbolize fidelity and keeping promises, because geese travel in pairs during migration and will not fly together if their mates are widowed.

For this day, Lu Yuanjing spent a lot of money to buy a pair of live geese and raised them at home.

Seven days later, an official matchmaker came to Yun Chu's home to propose marriage.

Jian agreed and told the matchmaker Yun Chu's name and birth date, and the matchmaker took her back to the Lu family.

The purpose of this step is to predict the good or bad fortune of the marriage and to see whether the birth dates of both parties are compatible.

After receiving Yun Chu's name and birth date, the Lu family performed divination, and after getting a good omen, they sent a matchmaker to the Mo family's house to announce the good news and inform the Mo family that the marriage has been agreed upon. This step is called Naji.

The fourth step is to present the betrothal gift, also known as the gift of money, which is a ceremony in which the man's family presents the betrothal gift to the woman's family. This step marks the formal establishment of the marriage relationship.

Lu Yuanjing prepared a lot of things, including fifty taels of silver, five pieces of cloth, jewelry, etc.

The fifth step is to ask for a date, which is when the man's family chooses an auspicious date as the date to marry the bride and informs the woman's family through a matchmaker.

The purpose of this step is to ensure that the wedding goes smoothly and choose an auspicious date that is beneficial to both parties.

Lu Yuanjing chose the third day of March.

Once the proposal was successful, everyone in the village knew about it.

This shocked everyone in the village. Lu Xiucai actually fell in love with Yun Chu.

The young girls in the village cried so much that their handkerchiefs were wet on that day. If they had known that Mr. Lu was willing to lower his status to marry, they would have asked their families to act as matchmakers.

Unfortunately, there is no if, so that girl with super strength, Mo Yunchu, got the advantage for nothing.

Lu Yuanjing was very happy and had a smiling face every day.

Father Lu and Mrs. Hu felt that their son truly liked Yun Chu.

Now that we are engaged, we smile more.

Lu Yuanjing went to find Yun Chu early in the morning.

"Yunchu, didn't you say before that you would let Aunt and brother move down the mountain to live? When the time comes, you will build a house next to ours. Yunchu, have you ever thought about building a few rooms?"

"My mother disagrees about the house. She says that the house we live in now was built by my father with all his hard-earned money, and we can't abandon it." Yun Chu originally wanted to let his mother and brother move down the mountain so that they would be easier to take care of.

I didn't consider that my mother would be reluctant to leave this place.

This is where the family makes memories.

At worst, she can just work harder and go up the mountain every day.

It’s not that far anyway.

"It's better not to move. We can eat meat in the mountains without worrying about being found out by our neighbors."

"In the village, if someone cooks meat, the aroma of the meat can spread far away."

"Then people will talk about which family ate meat behind their backs."

"Yun Chu, you are capable and good at hunting. You will have meat to eat almost every day. The children in the village will be so hungry that they will cry."

Yun Chu said: "Then eating every three or five times shouldn't be too much, right?"

"Eating them every day is not too much. If they like to gossip, let them do it. Don't worry about it." Lu Yuanjing thought to himself: If they dare to gossip about Yun Chu, he has plenty of ways to deal with them.

"Do whatever you want and don't care about others." Anyway, he is here and he will protect her.

"Okay." Yun Chu nodded.

"Will Yunchu continue to practice martial arts today?"

“I’ve practiced it.”

"When did you get up?"

"Get up at the crowing of the cock."

Okay, his Yun Chu is a hardworking person.

"Yun Chu, you know that I am not in good health. I wonder if you can teach me how to keep fit?"

Yun Chu: Your body has recovered, you just haven’t discovered it yet.

"Okay."

"Then start from today." I have nothing to do anyway.

"Then let's do horse stance."

"Okay." Lu Yuanjing looked at Yun Chu's serious face with a smile.

After less than a quarter of an hour of standing in horse stance, Lu Yuanjing was already feeling shaky.

Yun Chu was as steady as a mountain, not wavering at all.

"Brother Lu, can you still hold on?"

Lu Yuanjing gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."

"Brother Lu, don't force yourself. This is your first time doing horse stance. Let's do it step by step."

"I know my physical limits. If I can't hold on any longer, I will get up."

"Okay." Yun Chu stopped persuading her.

Another stick of incense passed and Lu Yuanjing could no longer hold on. He fell to the ground with weak legs.

Yun Chu quickly helped him up and let him sit on the stool.

"Brother Lu, pat your legs and relax them."

"Could you please help me take a picture, Yunchu? I really don't have the strength in my hands."

"Okay." Yun Chu rubbed Lu Yuanjing's legs and while doing so, injected his internal force into his legs, allowing his muscles to relax faster.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, thank you Yunchu."

"It's a pity that it's winter now. If it were summer, I could find some herbs to soak your feet."

"When summer comes, Yunchu will come and pick some herbs for me to soak."

"can."

"Then I would like to thank Yun Chu first."

Lu Yuanjing stayed at the Mo family for a day before returning home.
