Traveling through time and encountering war, I took the whole village to escape famine
Chapter 133 Oral Engagement
The first sip of beer Cheng Yuheng took tasted a little bitter, but upon careful tasting, it had a clear and sweet taste, with a faint smell of alcohol rushing through his mouth.
"It's okay. This kind of wine has a low alcohol content and won't make you drunk. Drinking beer is the soul of eating barbecue. It's not a complete barbecue meal without beer." Yun Duo argued.
"That won't work either. You are too young to drink." Cheng Yuheng insisted.
"I'll just drink one glass, okay? After I finish this glass, I'll drink juice." Yun Duo said softly, blinking her big eyes.
"Okay, just one glass, no more." Cheng Yuheng was defeated by Yun Duo's eyes.
"Let's have a toast," Yun Duo raised his glass and said to everyone.
The two little ones didn’t know what cheers meant, so they followed Yun Duo and raised their glasses. Yun Duo clinked her glasses with each of theirs and then took a sip.
The two younger ones also followed their sister's example, took a sip, put down their cups, and started eating the barbecue again.
The elders were a little tipsy, and the atmosphere gradually became lively. Chen Zhiyuan smiled and raised his glass: "Doctor Yun! Let's discuss the marriage of the children. How about this? We will make a verbal engagement first, and after I go to the south, I will ask the official matchmaker to come to propose marriage and give the betrothal gifts according to the traditional etiquette procedures. What do you think of this arrangement?" He looked at Doctor Yun, his eyes full of expectation and joy.
Yunhai was a little drunk and thought it was a modern society with free love. After Cheng Zhiyuan finished speaking, he thought for a while and said, "Mr. Cheng, my daughter Duo is still young, so there is no need to rush into marriage. Let the two children get along well. If they are suitable for each other, it won't be too late for us to talk about marriage."
"Doctor Yun, a girl's reputation is important. We can make a marriage agreement first. After we have completed the three books and six ceremonies, Duo'er will be almost sixteen years old. It won't be too late to get married then.
Yunhai just realized that this was not the age for free love now. In ancient times, it was common for people to get married at the age of 14 and 15 or 16. The only thing he could do now was to delay the wedding date so that his granddaughter would not get married and have children at such a young age. She had to wait until she was 17 or 18 years old.
Yun Qingsong thought, it's good to settle down. Judging from his daughter's behavior these days, she seems to like the boy from the Cheng family. After settling down, they can interact openly without people gossiping.
"Teacher, although marriage is decided by parents and matchmakers, we still need to ask Duo'er for her opinion. If Duo'er agrees, then let's get it settled first!"
Yun Qingsong was born and raised in this dynasty after all, and his thoughts were still relatively conservative. He thought that if there was no engagement, his daughter and Cheng Yuheng, a single man and a single woman, would always be together, and people would gossip about them.
He also realized that Cheng Yuheng discussed this with them to give his family face. If Cheng Yuheng used tough measures, with his family's current strength, it would be like an egg hitting a rock, and they would not be able to resist even if their family was destroyed.
"Okay. Of course. Let's make it clear first. If Duo'er has no objection, we will exchange the tokens first." Yun Qingsong nodded in agreement.
Everyone was very satisfied with the barbecue.
Yun Duo drank a glass of beer, her cheeks flushed slightly. She heard the elders discussing their marriage. She looked at Cheng Yuheng, her long eyelashes swaying slightly, making her eyes look even brighter.
Cheng Yuheng was a little fascinated, "Duo'er, are you full?"
The cloud nodded.
Cheng Yuheng said in a low voice: "Don't forget our mission tonight."
Yun Duo stood up and said, "Remember, we have to explore the way ahead. Let's go. It's getting late. Let's go and find it. Big brother, come with me. I'll leave this to you, second brother."
Yuheng, tell your secret guards to stay away from us.
Cheng Yuheng nodded and gestured into the dark.
The three of them entered the mountain, and Yun Duo found a big tree: "This is fine. Yuheng, big brother, you stay alert. If you encounter danger, don't worry about me, just leave here quickly, okay? I can go into space to protect myself."
Yun Duo used her mind to take out a drone in space and controlled it with a tablet computer. The drone disappeared instantly, and Yun Duo turned on the drone's sound wave detector to detect signs of life through sound wave vibrations. It also provided real-time feedback on the images of life forms wherever it passed, and detected the types and number of life forms through sound waves.
Cheng Yuheng and Yun Chenyang stood on the left and right sides of the cloud, looking at the data transmitted by the tablet computer and the extremely clear picture. Both of them showed shock in their eyes. This was simply unbelievable. The object that looked like a mechanical bird at night actually had night vision function. Even a few mice in the mountains could be detected so clearly.
Both of them were silent. Cheng Yuheng looked calm on the outside, but his heart was like a raging storm, while Yun Chenyang's eyes widened and his jaw almost dropped.
After half an hour, Yun Duo controlled the drone to return and put it directly into the space. "Yuheng, brother, wait for me, I'll go in and print out the data." As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared.
Although both of them had prepared themselves mentally, seeing the clouds suddenly disappear out of thin air still made them feel a little surprised and at a loss, as if time had frozen at that moment.
