Genshin Impact: My confession was rejected, so I traveled to seven countries

Sunlight streamed into the courtyard, casting dappled shadows on the ground through the leaves.

Su Mo lay leisurely in a rocking chair, sipping tea. Enjoying the spring sunshine, she felt quite content.

"What a pleasant half-day of leisure!" Su Mo couldn't help but sigh.

The inner voice couldn't help but tease, "You have the nerve to say that? You're complaining about having someone else do your work."

Su Mo was a little unhappy. "So what? I'm just following a normal schedule. Working every day takes a toll on a person's energy and spirit. You need to relax occasionally. Besides, one more person won't make a difference. Why would I deliberately loiter on my day off and make people think I'm idle?"

"Isn't it?"

Su Mo rolled her eyes. "How can you know the joy of a fish if you are not a fish?"

He spat at Su Mo, unwilling to pay any attention to this scoundrel.

Su Mo didn't take it seriously and began to carefully enjoy her hard-won rest time.

The work in the General Affairs Department is always quite busy, but the benefits are still very good. There are fixed days off every month, which Su Mo naturally approves of wholeheartedly.

Going to work is good, but there should be limits. Otherwise, the work atmosphere will damage your spirit and make you feel listless. As the saying goes, "Where does such clear water come from? It comes from a living spring."

In your spare time, you should take time to cultivate your mindset; only then can you achieve long-term development.

Sure enough, Su Mo, who was well aware of this, would come to his mental health repair point whenever he had free time to find someone to further enhance their relationship.

As for the General Affairs Department, he wasn't worried at all. Even when things got busy, there was always a diligent and dedicated Qingxin Fungus in charge. When it came to handling business, no one could be more capable than his cheap senior sister.

"I wonder where Jinbao went. Why hasn't she come back yet?" Su Mo muttered to himself as he looked up at the sun overhead, which had already shifted slightly.

"What's your rush? It hasn't even been half an hour yet," Zhen complained.

"What do you know? This is called deep affection. I'm a devoted boy, so naturally I'll always be thinking about my Jinbao'er."

These words caused Zhen to feel a sudden ache in his teeth.

Yun Jin left home after lunch, saying she was going to buy some daily necessities. Su Mo didn't think much of it and shamelessly offered to go with her, but was refused. She said he finally had a day off and couldn't waste it because of her. Su Mo immediately declared that he wouldn't care about his time with Yun Jin, which greatly pleased her. However, despite her efforts, she ultimately ended up with the important task of guarding the house.

Although Jinbao felt sorry for him, she was still a little uncomfortable letting him go out alone, since he came here to spend time with someone.

Even just having a meal and chatting is great; it's much better than staying at home alone chatting with an elderly woman inside your body.

Otherwise, why would he come over? Because he's bored.

With the person in question not present, he was naturally in a somewhat unpleasant mood.

"Hmph hmph hmph, hmph hmph hmph hmph..."

Just as Su Mo was lost in thought, a figure stepped through the door accompanied by singing.

Su Mo's gaze followed Yun Jin's cheerful figure as she slowly moved forward.

Seeing Yun Jin in such a good mood, Su Mo was a little puzzled.

"Jin Baoer?"

"Hmm?" Yun Jin turned to look at Su Mo, who raised his hand to greet her.

"come here."

Yun Jin arrived, her eyes filled with some confusion.

A sly glint flashed in Su Mo's eyes. He reached out and, amidst Yun Jin's gasp, pulled her into his arms.

Hey! What are you doing?!

Yun Jin looked up at the culprit and couldn't help but say something coquettishly.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to tease my Jinbao a little because she's so cute."

Su Mo pinched her slightly flushed cheek and asked with interest.

"What happened? Why are you so happy?"

Yun Jin raised her jade-like neck. "It's a secret."

Seeing the other person's arrogant appearance, Su Mo couldn't help but feel playful and raised her hand to give the other person's buttocks a slap.

"You!" Yun Jin blushed instantly.

She never expected Su Mo to take advantage of her like this.

"You're good to go! Will you tell me or not?" Su Mo laughed, and was about to raise his hand to strike again.

"I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?" Yun Jin pleaded.

Yun Jin then told Ying'er that she had met her on the road. The two chatted for a bit, and Yun Jin learned that Ying'er was preparing to attend a wedding. Ying'er gossiped about their relationship and then talked about the two parties involved in the wedding.

It turns out that it wasn't easy for this couple to finally be together. They were just ordinary people, and they were forced to separate at times. Later, the groom persevered and, thanks to his business in Liyue Harbor and the money he earned from Mora, he finally won over his difficult mother-in-law. After all their hardships, they had a grand and lavish wedding.

After saying that, Yun Jin looked at Su Mo with bright eyes.

"Ying'er even praised you this time!"

"What do you praise me for?"

"I praised you for being devoted, praised you for being young and promising, and you never made me angry... This time you even asked us if we wanted to go."

"Hey, why do you think I'm so nice? When did Ying'er become so easy to talk to?" Su Mo laughed. Ying'er usually teased him, so why would she invite them to the wedding this time?

Yun Jin nodded, "It's quite a coincidence, actually. This family has some connection with my family, so if we want, we can go there."

Yun Jin explained, and Su Mo finally understood that although the woman was from an ordinary family, her grandfather's generation had some connection with the Yun family and had seen the world's prosperity. However, due to the decline of her family, she was now in such a predicament. Ultimately, she had seen the world, which is why she was somewhat picky about the man.

Because we don't have much interaction and are separated by a generation, our two families are more like distant relatives than close relatives. This post is just an attempt to bring us closer together.

Su Mo thought for a moment, "Hearing you say that, it feels like we're completely unrelated. Putting aside the fact that our generation doesn't keep in touch much, wouldn't it be annoying if we went there for no reason?"

Yun Jin frowned slightly. "That's why I was just about to ask you. We have some connection, but it's not that significant. An invitation was sent to us a few days ago. It would be nice to go, but it wouldn't be a big deal if we didn't."

Su Mo teased, "What's wrong? You're already trying to get my opinion before you're even married? If you really marry into the family, won't you become a henpecked husband?"

"I just came to ask you, take it or leave it!"

Su Mo laughed and raised her hand to say, "Since that's the case, let's add to the joy. Judging from how happy you were just now, you were obviously thinking about giving them a gift of money."

"Shut up!"

Yun Jin's face was flushed, and she punched Su Mo's shoulder a few times in frustration.

Su Mo didn't take it seriously, and instead smiled and shifted her body to expose the other side as well, "Not bad strength, there's no hammer here yet, give it a few hits."

Yun Jin felt quite embarrassed about this.

On Su Mo's way back

I happened to run into Walnut promoting her business.

Hu Tao inquired about her recent situation and suggested they go on another trip sometime. Su Mo then casually mentioned this as well. Upon hearing that there was a wedding to attend, Hu Tao immediately expressed her desire to go as well.

Su Mo felt a headache coming on. Knowing Hu Tao's personality, she would definitely go and promote the funeral services again. Usually, it wouldn't be a problem, but this time she was going to someone else's wedding to promote funeral services... She was afraid that things might end badly.

Hu Tao seemed to see Su Mo's predicament, rolled her eyes at him, and immediately patted her chest to show that she cared about the business of the Rebirth Hall, but she wasn't stupid!

If that were the case, wouldn't we get beaten up?

Seeing this, Su Mo thought for a moment. Although he had come uninvited, he was still a guest and they were going together to give money as a gift. It should be fine, right?

So Su Mo agreed to Hu Tao's request, saying that she would inform Yun Jin.

Upon seeing this, Hu Tao immediately tried to pull Su Mo to find Zhong Li. Since returning from the last mountain climb, Zhong Li had resumed his retirement life, disappearing from sight day after day. Meanwhile, the bills from the Wangsheng Hall's accounting department kept coming in one after another. Since there was finally a way to save Mora, she certainly couldn't let Zhong Li, the accounting master, miss it.

Compared to Zhongli's daily expenses, this small amount of money is better than nothing.

So the two of them met Zhongli at the Three Bowls But No Port and explained the whole story. Zhongli was initially a little uninterested, but when he heard Su Mo mention that he had already "set a date," he thought about it and agreed.

Originally, Hu Tao had planned to invite Ying and Paimon, but the two of them had gone off to hang out with Wendy somewhere and couldn't be found, so she gave up the idea.

Wedding day

Upon seeing Hu Tao and Zhong Li, Yun Jin exchanged a few pleasantries and couldn't help but jokingly ask, "I've heard that Mr. Zhong Li is so busy listening to music every day. How come you have time to come here today?"

Zhongli chuckled lightly, "Listening to music is necessary, but there has to be someone singing, right? With Mr. Yun not here, listening to other music is indeed a bit dull. Besides, this is a joyous occasion in life, so it's only natural to come and witness it."

He didn't want to rest for a day, of course he did, but Mr. Yun wasn't here, and he had nowhere to go to listen to opera. Listening to storytelling was an option, but he still wanted to come and see this.

Upon hearing Zhongli's words, Yun Jin responded, "Mr. Zhongli, you flatter me."

Zhongli didn't reply, but instead looked at the bright red gate of the mansion, where guests were coming and going in an endless stream, and the layout of the courtyard was also quite elaborate, which Zhongli couldn't help but nod in approval.

"After hearing about the newlyweds' deeds from my friend Su, I decided to come and observe. These 'six rites' are rarely performed in the first place, and I never expected to see them done again today," Zhongli exclaimed.

"Six Rites? What are those?" Hu Tao asked curiously, scratching her head.

The same applies to Su Mo and Yun Jin.

"You didn't know? Yes, this custom is a wedding ceremony from a very long time ago." Zhongli frowned slightly. He had thought that everyone knew about it, which was why they had come to invite him. It seems that he had been thinking too much.

"What are the Six Rites?" Zhongli explained.

Hu Tao raised her hand to indicate, "I know, I know, the six gifts, the six gifts definitely mean giving six kinds of gifts."

Zhongli shook his head and rubbed Hu Tao's little head. "The so-called 'Six Rites' is a wedding system of the ancient Liyue. To be precise, it should be six rituals."

"It is said that this custom was established by the Emperor in response to the wishes of his people and the immortals. In this ancient wedding, the procession is neither lively nor extravagant, there is no playing of zithers or flutes, and wild geese serve as the matchmaker."

For this purpose, there were six special rites. When discussing marriage, the groom's family would ask a matchmaker to explain the request to the bride's family to enter into a marriage contract, and a wild goose would be given as a gift, which was called "Nacai".

The entrusted matchmaker brought a goose to the woman's house and asked her parents for her name, birth date, and time, which was called "asking the name".

Based on the information about the woman provided by the woman's family, the groom's family would then perform divination at the ancestral temple. If the divination yielded an auspicious omen, the groom's family would then approach the woman's family and present a goose as a gift. This process was called "Naji".

The fourth ceremony, known as "Nazheng," is the engagement process where the groom's family presents betrothal gifts to the bride's family.
