#149 - Chapter 149 Marriage

Cheng Feng's rapid progress greatly surprised Wang Tieshan. He was even able to train with his brothers, a move that showed Wang Tieshan how much Cheng Feng valued family and his dedication to leading by example.

Certain ideas in Wang Tieshan's mind became more firm. However, at this moment, he decided to remain patient and wait until Cheng Feng reached the "Organ Refining" realm before making any plans.

After talking with his master for a good while, Cheng Feng went to visit Lao San again. With this, Cheng Feng considered the matter to be brought to a satisfactory conclusion.

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the window. Cheng Feng woke up early, and after washing up, he went to the door of his parents' room. He knocked gently, and after receiving a response, he opened the door and went inside.

"Father, Mother, I want to discuss something with you," Cheng Feng said with a firm tone.

His parents exchanged glances, and asked in confusion, "What is it? Why so serious?"

Cheng Feng took a deep breath and slowly said, "I want to go to Manager Mei's house to formally propose marriage."

Upon hearing this news, a joyful smile appeared on the faces of the two elders. They nodded repeatedly, expressing their approval. Cheng Feng had been clever and diligent since he was young. Now that he was successful and had found a woman he liked, his parents were naturally very pleased.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was afternoon. Father Cheng specially put on a brand new outfit, looking particularly radiant. Cheng Feng, on the other hand, wore a carefully selected and elaborate suit, making him look elegant and imposing. Although they were very familiar with the proposal process, they still did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. Every detail had to be perfect, because this was, after all, a major event in life.

With everything prepared, Cheng Feng, carrying generous betrothal gifts, set out on the road to Manager Mei's house. Along the way, his heart was filled with anticipation and nervousness. For this proposal, he had done his homework in advance, learning many of the rules and etiquette of proposing, for fear of making any mistakes that would make people laugh.

Finally arriving at the Mei residence, Cheng Feng stood at the door, adjusted his breathing, and then walked into the courtyard with steady steps. He first politely gave a big salute to Manager Mei and his family, and then respectfully said, "Manager Mei, this junior, Cheng Feng, has brought a humble gift today, hoping to win the heart of your daughter. If your esteemed residence agrees, I will be extremely grateful."

After saying this, Cheng Feng quietly waited for the other party's response.

Manager Mei looked at Cheng Feng, a young and promising man with proper manners, and nodded secretly in his heart, a satisfied smile appearing on his face. Manager Mei knew what line of work Cheng Feng was in, and was already very satisfied with such etiquette.

He replied, "Feng-ge'er, I have heard of your reputation, you are a rare and talented young man. However, marriage concerns the future of two families, and we still need to consult my daughter's opinion."

Cheng Feng understood that Father Mei loved his daughter and would naturally not easily entrust her to someone else. He smiled slightly, indicating his understanding. As soon as he finished speaking, Mei Niang was summoned to the hall.

She was wearing an elegant dress, as fresh and refined as a flower blooming in the morning; her delicate features were like a fairy walking out of a painting, making people's eyes light up. Cheng Feng looked at her, and a warm current surged in his heart, as if the whole world had become beautiful.

Mei Niang walked to her father's side, bowed slightly, and then turned her gaze to Cheng Feng. Her eyes were clear and bright, with a hint of expectation. Cheng Feng took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm, and nodded and smiled at Mei Niang. He noticed that the corners of Mei Niang's mouth also turned up slightly.

Next, Father Mei and Mei Niang talked in low voices for a moment, asking her opinion on the marriage. Mei Niang's face was slightly red, but her eyes firmly expressed her willingness to follow her parents' arrangements. Seeing this, a hint of gratification flashed in Father Mei's eyes. He patted his daughter's shoulder, then turned to look at Cheng Feng and said, "Since my daughter is also interested, then this matter can be discussed further. Feng-ge'er, if you sincerely want to marry my Mei Niang, you still need to show your sincerity and determination."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Feng quickly cupped his hands and replied, "Thank you for your trust, Uncle! I fell in love with Mei Niang at first sight, and I will definitely do my best to take care of her for the rest of my life. Please rest assured, Uncle, I will definitely prove my sincerity with my actions." After saying this, he looked at Father Mei and Mei Niang with firm eyes, as if making a solemn promise to them.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became harmonious, and everyone began to talk about some domestic trifles. Cheng Feng took the opportunity to communicate with Mei Niang, and the two talked happily.

Manager Mei nodded slightly, expressing his approval. At this time, Cheng Feng's father finally began to play a role.

At the dinner table, Father Mei and Father Cheng were drinking together: "Brother Cheng, your son is really outstanding." Hearing Father Mei's words, Father Cheng's face was filled with an undisguised smile, and he kept raising his glass to drink with Father Mei. After they had their fill of food and drink, the two families began to discuss the wedding date, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm.

The fifth day of the fifth month, suitable for marriage, suitable for going out, the sun is bright, full of joy.

Cheng Feng was wearing a gorgeous wedding dress, his clothes fluttering, he was extraordinarily handsome. His face was handsome, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, like a spring breeze, warming every guest who came to congratulate him.

And Mei Niang, wearing a bright red wedding dress, was as娇艳动人 as a blooming flower. Her every frown and smile revealed full of happiness and beautiful expectations for the future life.

At the same time, Cai'er on the other side was also wearing an exquisite and gorgeous wedding dress, her beauty making the surrounding sisters both envious and happy.

Who would have thought that Cheng Feng would put so much effort into preparing such a unique wedding for her?

In fact, Cheng Feng had already privately approached Cai'er, expressing that he wanted to give her a formal status. After all, Cai'er had been taking care of the housework for quite some time, and if he couldn't give her a proper wedding, even Cheng Feng himself would feel bad.

Fortunately, Mei Niang was an understanding woman. She knew Cai'er's important position in Cheng Feng's heart, so she readily agreed to Cheng Feng's idea. Although Cheng Feng's family was not very wealthy, they still did their best to make this wedding grand and lively. The whole scene was decorated beautifully, with lanterns and decorations, full of joy. People laughed and witnessed this beautiful love story together.

The relatives of Mei Niang's family praised the handsome and elegant groom, and they were very satisfied with the union of the couple and sincerely sent their best wishes. On the man's side, most of them were Hongmen disciples, and they also generously expressed their blessings.

After the wedding ceremony, Cheng Feng carefully took Mei Niang's hand with his left hand, and held the well-behaved and lovely Cai'er with his right hand. The three of them followed the traditional customs and offered tea to both parents.

Due to Cai'er's special background, her biological parents could not be present. So, Cheng Feng let the clever Cai'er take advantage of the opportunity when both parents were present to offer a cup of fragrant tea to the "parents" in a logical manner.

At this moment, the faces of the parents were filled with gratified smiles. They looked at the newly married couple of three in front of them, and their hearts were full of expectations and hope.

After entering the bridal chamber, Cheng Feng and Mei Niang sat facing each other, their hands clasped tightly. The room was filled with the fragrance of red candles, and the atmosphere was both solemn and sweet. Cheng Feng looked at Mei Niang, his heart filled with indescribable excitement.

From a legal point of view, this was a formal marriage.

Mei Niang nodded slightly, her eyes filled with deep emotion, staring at Cheng Feng, and asked softly, "What will our future be like?"

Cheng Feng held her hand tightly, his eyes firm and sincere, and replied, "Regardless of the wealth or poverty in life, or whether we are healthy or not, I am willing to spend this life with you."

A touch of emotion flashed in Mei Niang's eyes in an instant. She nodded slightly, expressing her understanding and giving her full support.

As night gradually enveloped the earth, the guests who attended the wedding left one after another. Cheng Feng and Mei Niang stayed in the bridal chamber.

Where the lights are dim, when the clouds move and the rain falls

Cai'er knew that today was Mei Niang's big day, and it was rare for her to be able to appear in front of so many relatives and friends.

Cheng Feng was considerate and told Cai'er to rest first.

In the middle of the night, a black shadow quietly sneaked into Cai'er's room, and Cai'er had been waiting here for a long time...
